I'm the one.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable. When it comes down to sports and fan base, man, Tom just... If my team loses, Tom is happy, folks. No, that's not true. We are at the beginning of the podcast. Bengals are 0-3, in case you're wondering. And the Bills are 3-0. But the Yankees may end up in the World Series with the Dodgers. If they do... Clinch. If they do, we're going to go. We're going to get a suite. We're going to watch the whole thing. It could be epic.

Between those two baseball seasons, looking good with Otani. Hitting his 50-50, but this isn't a sports podcast, folks. You don't come here to listen to sports. Don't leave out Aaron Judge because Judge is actually leading in home runs. The league. What I don't want to leave out is the other guy that's being judged, P. Diddy. There's a lot of stories with him coming out.

He's on suicide watch. There is a story that comes up from the sun saying he is as bad as Epstein. Kim Porter tell all books becomes an Amazon bestseller that just came out. Stories about Diddy locking woman in at freak off parties. Resurface clip. There's stuff about Ashton Kutcher now, which is kind of weird. Khloe Kardashian recalls seeing Justin Bieber at Diddy's naked party. Kamala Harris, AOC Al Sharpton praised Diddy.

Diddy, some of that stuff we'll cover. Even SNL did a skit one time, if I'm not mistaken. Oh yeah, disgusting. With Obama and Justin Bieber, which maybe we'll show the clip. A couple other things. The guy that was attempted the second assassination attempt on Trump left a note with a dollar amount to finish the job. We'll talk about that here. Very, very weird, the letter he leaves.

Trump rejects Harris's debate proposal as too late. We'll have some thoughts on that. Trump picks up 100,000 votes every time Harris bombs an interview, J.D. Vance says, at a campaign rally. By the way, J.D. Vance is starting to become a, you're right, he's becoming very, very good on these media tours that he's doing. He's doing a very good job. Trump shows off strength in Sunbelt Battlegrounds.

And then Biden loses track of events, yells, who's next? Biden claims he never once spoke to Powell as president, but they met in the Oval Office in 2022. Wall Street appetite for ESG plummets. Chicago gangbangers face off newly arrived Venezuelan migrants, and the city is going to go up in flames, is what one says. By the way, even the Chicago gang members cannot hang on

with these Venezuelan gang members. But we're going to see what's going to happen there. They've gotten soft. Right, they've gotten a little bit soft. Macklemore, which if you remember Macklemore had a hit song many years ago, declares F America to cheers at Seattle concert benefiting UN agency and alleged Hamas ties. And then Harrison Butker beats Travis Kelsey in merchandise sales after defending

And on top of that, there's a couple other things that happened. One, Governor Shapiro was entertaining this guy you guys may recognize. He's the greatest fundraiser slash beggar in the world, Zelensky, who was there apparently, if I'm not mistaken, Vinny. Yep. And then a couple other things. John Deere. Trump tells John Deere, if you take and you build this equipment in Mexico, a 200% tariff is going to be put on you. Mark Cuban said,

Says this is what happens when you lack business competency towards Trump. We'll definitely talk about that. And then there's a couple other clips that you have to see on what's going on with everything that's taking place today. Anyways, let me give you some more news. The announcement I was going to make is officially official. We bought what we were going to buy. It's ours. I'm not going to tell you what it is. I'm going to show it to you on the next podcast because between now and then, when I told you we're going to put the biggest...

live podcast election night party from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m. Well, I'm telling you this, with food trucks outside and tents and all this stuff, that's the plan right now. We're working on permits. The people that have purchased stuff from us before, because we call those insiders, they will be given the opportunity to buy the tickets first. It's going to go like this when the announcement is made. And then on the podcast, I'll most likely announce it next Tuesday, between now and next Tuesday. So stay tuned for that. However,

The one piece that so many of you have been asking for is officially here. We have brand spanking new merch to drop here today. Multiple brand spanking new pieces. Here's what this one is. It's the future. What are you doing, Tom? You guys just like the call thing?

This is the Future Looks Bright hat that's here with the American flag on the side with the Valle Tama logo here. And the Future Looks Bright down here as well. These will go in no time. Future Looks Bright hat. We have these in red and we have these in white. Rob, if you can show the white as well. Right there. You got the red. You got the white. Limited edition. These will not last. When we do the U.S. hats, they go in 24 to 48 hours.

This is the Future Looks Bright hat you can sport with the American flag on the side or the white one. Pick and choose which one you like and sport it with the Future Looks Bright shirt, Rob. If you can show the Future Looks Bright shirt. It's the election 2024 that we have. You can either choose to get the plain one

or you can choose to get the one that says future looks bright. And on the bottom, it says not this one deal. I'll go to that as well. You can get the one that says future looks bright. Zoom in a little bit, Rob, if you can. And it says, what's your point? Dedicated to my right. Or you can get the other one, which is the 2024 campaign. Elsewhere, Sosnick 2024 with the slogan, Tom being Sosnick.

shut up, you little bitch. That's the slogan. He can't say, my feelings are hurt. But anyways, can I say something too? We're at, we're this weekend. You don't mind where I want to say, let me just say this. Go to VT merge.com to place your order. We're going to put the link below for those. Listen to this on Spotify, all over the place. Uh,

But go ahead. Tell the events. I know that you said you want a million people rocking it. And what a great example. We're in Sarasota for a Dylan soccer tournament. I'm going to show the picture. We're sitting there and we're just chilling. Meaning we're on the field. There's how many fields, Pat? 10 to 20 fields. There's thousands of people, thousands of kids. Parents around each other. It's everywhere. I was practicing to be a dad. Pat posted on his Twitter.

All of a sudden, the lady's like, oh my God, Patrick McDavid. And she turned around, bro, value Tame and Hat. Future looks bright out. The whole... She was top to bottom. I saw people there rocking the gear, and it was freaking amazing. But you think, dude, we're going to restaurants. We're going here. The chef from a breakfast place came out and was like...

the waitress is like, excuse me, are you famous? And Pat's like, no. She's like, well, the guy in the kitchen is like, oh my God. And he comes out and he's like, well, so the, the message of a million people rocking it. I,

We have free hot socks because of that. Rob, can you show this picture, Rob? This is the lady. Shout out to her. Look at her. She's got the whole VT gear. Look at Tico's mustache. That's great. Tico got a Puerto Rican guy's mustache. So, guys, go sport the gear. Post it. Tag us. We're sharing the pics. Let us know when you're sporting the gear to value. A community is finding each other. It's a beautiful thing. And then last but not least,

My youngest son, Dilly boy, Dylan James, but David turns 11 years old. Happy birthday. When? What day is his birthday? Today's his birthday. Today's Dilly's birthday. I wake him up today. I said, Dylan, happy birthday. You know what he tells me? He says, not my birthday yet. I said, it's your birthday today. He says at 11 o'clock.

Pacific Standard Time, which means at 2 o'clock he is so specific on when his birthday is, but he's going to get a special gift tonight. He's going to be what now, 11? 11 years old. He's got a special gift he's getting tonight. He has no clue what it is. He's going to flip out. We'll post the recording afterwards. Anyways, okay, let's get right into it. Rob, I want to get into the first story. First story is the John Deere story, if you don't mind. Just play the clip. So President Trump here is being interviewed, and they're talking about John Deere, and here's what he says. After he says this, Mark Cuban responds,

To disagree with him, obviously, because he's a 100% pro-Kamala supporter. But here's what President Trump had to say about John Deere. I just noticed behind me John Deere tractors. I know a lot about John Deere. I love the company. But as you know, they've announced a few days ago that they're going to move a lot of their manufacturing business to Mexico. I'm just notifying John Deere right now.

If you do that, we're putting a 200% tariff on everything that you want to sell into the United States so that if I win, John Deere is going to be paying a 200%. They haven't started it yet. Maybe they haven't even made the final decision yet, but I think they have.

John Deere is going to, and anybody else that does this, because it's hurting our farmers, it's hurting our manufacturing. And if you do that, you're going to have a 200% tariff put on the product that you make in Mexico, right across the border. They think they're going to make product cheaper in Mexico and then sell it in for the same price as they did before. Make a lot of money by getting rid of our labor and our jobs and really a great name, because John Deere is a great name. I buy a lot of John Deere. Tremendous. I'm one of their big...

I buy a lot of John Deere product as a private person. But if they're going to do that. Okay. So this is him saying it. Now, here's what Mark Cuban says about it. Okay. This lack of understanding of business is insane. Put a 200% tariff on an American company moving some production to Mexico, but tariff Chinese manufacturers over.

10 or 20 percent said that the Chinese products will be cheaper to sell in the U.S. than the American company. Good way to destroy a legendary American company and increase costs to American buyers. Tom, your thoughts on this? Well, first of all, Mark, angry man, Cuban, is thinking that the Chinese tariff will stay at 10 or 20 percent. It won't. That's the tariff right now. And the minute

The minute that Trump realizes or someone brings in the analysis that the tractors coming from China, because there's Chinese tractor companies, are less than the John Deere's because of the tariff. What do you think he's going to do to that 10 to 20 percent tariff on China? Boom. It's going up. It's going up because he's not going to allow dumping by China by underpricing and dumping. That's not going to happen. So.

on if the algebra stays frozen, Mark Cuban is right. Oh, the Chinese stuff's going to be less. But what Mark just did with this comment is basically notified everybody so that everybody and every advisor is talking to him. Hey, Cuban was saying this. We better keep an eye on those Chinese tractor costs and make sure that we tariff the hell out of them so that still the American product is the one to buy. Adam, how do you process this? So it's funny that you're bringing this up because our friend Vivek,

He actually wrote, I'm trying to find the article right now, wrote an article on the Wall Street Journal. It was an opinion piece. What was the general concept of this article? And it was called the America First Divide, Protectionism versus Libertarianism. And it got me thinking, like, why Vivek is now writing articles for the Wall Street Journal opinion piece. Rob, I'm going to try to send it to you, buddy. And here's some of the conclusions that he basically came up with. Rob, if you can pull this up.

I have it. Okay, cool. On immigration, trade, and regulatory state, the deep divisions underlie the Trump coalition. So basically saying...

that it's now fashionable for Republicans to say things like, we need to make things here. We're a party of the working class without stopping to ask what these phrases actually mean or what they're saying to them. This isn't good. An important reason why the old consensus failed was intellectual laziness. For the America First movement to outlast Mr. Trump, it needs to think through the principles that underlie its policies. Are we protectionists or economic libertarians? So,

This basically what Trump is doing is sort of he's taking the hand of government and weighing in on private businesses or corporations. So I guess there's a different school of thought. The classic Reagan ask mentality was what?

free trade, right? But then you start looking into free trade and there's actually free trade and fair trade. There's actually a different dynamic right there. Fair trade and free trade. So, and what that basically means, but Trump has made the decision that tariffs are the way to go for his policies. And in some cases they have worked by the way, I don't think the Biden administration has actually removed any of the tariffs that, that, that Trump imposed on China.

So I think at the end of the day, we're going to see what happens with Trump and these tariffs and John Deere. But my biggest question is, what's the future of the Republican Party? Are they economic libertarians, as Vivek asks, or they are protectionists and implementing protectionism policies? You bring up something very interesting. If you go back and you look at Bill Clinton.

Bill Clinton didn't touch the damn knobs. When he walked into the White House, he could have gone over to the economic dashboard and start turning knobs and changing things. He didn't. Why? Because the Reagan economy...

And that carried forward under Bush. And then it burped a little bit and there's a little bit of an issue there. And that was the opening, along with Ross Perot taking the independent vote that got Clinton in the White House. But then Clinton largely didn't touch the policies. Why is that? Go back and look at Obama. Obama is known for the Affordable Care Act, ACA, and doing what he did and rampant inflation three years later in health care costs.

on the American person. But did you notice he didn't really touch other things that came out of the Bush presidency? I find that all very, very interesting. And guess what? Now, Biden doesn't touch a lot of the tariffs because they want to scream about their social policies. They want to redistribute wealth, but they don't usually touch or be maniacs on the engine that creates the wealth. They're just happy to tax the output.

Pat, just really fast. So what's the reason? The reason why would John Deere want to leave here and start manufacturing in Mexico, Tom? Save money. Labor costs are cheaper. So why not have a country that's going to make it affordable for them to do it here? I have a better idea. By the way. No, no. Go ahead. All those people coming from Mexico.

You keep them in Mexico and you give them jobs so they don't come into our country illegally. That might be a thing. You ask a very good critical thinking question. Thank you, Pat. So I'm just curious. It's a very good question. Listen, everybody. This company is leaving to go to Mexico to make it cheaper labor costs, proximity to the market, free trade. Why not stay here? Why not make it more beneficial for that company to do that exact same thing here in the United States? So the onus is on who?

You're putting the onus on who? The corporation? No, no, no. He's not. On the government? On the U.S. On the U.S. Because for me, Rob, I just sent you an article if you can pull this up, okay? Because this exchange between Cuban and Trump, I'm conflicted. I'm not...

So in this exchange, a part of me agrees with Cuban, a part of me agrees with Trump. Let me explain so this makes sense to you. So Rob, don't show the whole, okay, thank you. So don't show, there you go. So do you know how much it costs to buy an iPhone? Because let's think about the product that we all buy, the product that all of us own, right? Everybody owns a smartphone. Yes. Okay. And do you think more people own a smartphone or a car?

A phone. Smartphone. Okay, let's just say it's a smartphone. All right. Of this smartphone that we buy, how many people who are Republicans own a smartphone? All of them. A majority. Why do you own a smartphone if you know it's made in China? Very good question. Why are you buying it from Apple? Because it's cheaper. Well, listen, if it matters to you for it to be made in America, guess what?

We can. So they did an article to explain how much it costs if you wanted to buy your iPhone in America. Zoom in a little bit, Rob. So the cost of an iPhone in America, products made in America may inspire pride in U.S. citizens.

But the price tag of goods such as an iPhone may be more than residents are willing to pay. And this is a couple years old, by the way. The last iPhone model, iPhone 14, cost $100,000. By the way, right now, they're not $1,000. While that is no small amount of money for consumers producing phone in America, it would cost even more. Report found that if you wanted to build that in America, it would cost you $2,400.

That's 140% more. Rob, can you go and check how much a brand spanking new iPhone is? 17? Are we on 17 or 16? I think it's 16 Pro Max. Okay, so go to iPhone. So you got an iPhone 16 Pro Max. It starts off at $1,199. How high does it go? Let's just go with $1,199. What's 140% on the $1,199?

140% on 1199 makes it $2,600. Okay. Okay. Give or take $2,600. So if somebody said, yeah, I don't like the fact that's a made in China. Well, guess what? Let's make it made in America. So imagine you're Tim Cook and Tim Cook comes out and says, look, I know your concern is for us to make you in America. We're going to do it. Except the cost is going to go up 140%. Are more people going to have the pride of it being made in America? Are more people going to have the pride of saving 140% on the cost of a phone? What do you think, Tom?

The answer is they're going to go for the lower cost phone because it's the same thing that happens at Walmart with the baby clothes. They had baby clothes that were there that were made overseas and were very inexpensive. And you go through onesies and baby clothes, it's expensive when you have a kid. And people chose Walmart for the lower cost because the Made in America stuff was like three times more.

Yeah, and so when you break this down and you look at this, like what we're doing with John Deere, and you go, you know, I get the part about moving employees out. I get the part about building plants other places. I get the part about putting tariffs. The problem you face when you do that is the following. Then abuse can happen internally. Mm-hmm.

Then you have to have price controls. Then the government is involved. And this is the part where competition, when U.S. allowed Toyota to come in here and start selling cars. You remember when Toyota came in here, what happened all of a sudden? Tom, you know the history. You know what happened with Toyota. When U.S. allowed Toyota to come in here, bless you, and compete, what did American automakers have to do, Tom? React. In what way? It was the capitalist reaction. You had to make...

We're more reliable cars that got good gas mileage because fuel is expensive. Those are the two things people were looking for in the car, affordability and mileage, because we had just gone through Carter and everything that we went on the embargo and the cost. Yeah. So, for example, right now we're working on a shoe that's

that we're working on. I mean, I'm not going to give you the details of it, but it's a shoe with a certain technology that I want to wear that you can wear with a suit, but it's super comfortable yet. It's got unique technology in it. So we're having a lot of different conversations with different people by next vault. This shoe should be there for people to be able to order. Okay. So the unique particular leather I want to use for this. Okay. And unique soul and unique, you know, comfort that we want to use. Guess what? It's like, yeah, no one in America produces that.

The only way you can buy that is you have to go to Europe and these are the seven countries. Okay, great. How about this? No one produces that over here. So there's just certain places that they just don't produce that in America. What are you supposed to do? So either there needs to be an incentive for it internally or allow the competition to

to be taking place. I understand putting some tariffs on some businesses that if they choose to remove, move everything out, I get that. But I think it's a slippery slope. I think it's a slippery slope. Um,

for capitalism. I get it putting on China. I get it put it on countries. Because in China, for the longest time, they were making hundreds of billions of dollars off of us, and we were not. So imagine it's kind of like this. Hey, you buy this from me, I buy this from you. Okay? Who makes money? When somebody buys or when somebody sells? Sells. Okay, when you're selling to me, if I buy, you're making money, right? Of course. So imagine...

You're selling and I'm buying $600 billion worth of stuff from you every year. But then I'm like, okay, buy my stuff. And you say, nah, I'm good. Yeah. Do you understand what just happened right there? So you're exporting, but you're not importing anything from me. And you're like, no, no, we're going to do it ourselves cheaper. Well, screw you. Who are you to do that? So the tariffs on countries make sense, but to put tariffs on businesses, I don't know. I don't, I don't know. I just, I, um,

Oh, it's such a clutch off-season pickup, Dave. I was worried we'd bring back the same team. I meant those blackout motorized shades. Blinds.com made it crazy affordable to replace our old blinds.

I fully agree with you on that. I don't know about that. I'm not a protectionist. And the question that was asked to me was, what do I think of this? And I said, look, that's how the tractors will play out. He will turn around and do the other. But that underlines the problem. Do you tariff? And then does the tariff become like a bad auction? And China says, okay, then we'll sell it for this. Well, I'm going to tariff it higher. Well, I'll sell it for that. And it goes back and forth. So I'm not a protectionist. The whole model,

of manufacturing is that manufacturing is going to go to the lowest cost

lowest cost area. That's how Poland got so much manufacturing, but they had a very controlled government. Now they have a very safe country and everything like that, but they were known as the Mexico of Europe. Do you remember the 90 days, Tom, when we lost nearly a thousand agents? Yep. And do you remember who it specifically was around? Right. You remember, I'm not going to give a name, but you remember this. I'm not going to say any names, but I know exactly what you're talking about. So let me tell you what happened in a span of three months to six months. Okay. Um,

We lost around 600 to 1000 insurance agents to a competitor. Okay. So I started getting calls and the calls were like, well, you know, how come you're not doing anything about it? Why don't we go and sue all of these guys? And why don't we go put it this at that at all? And I'm sitting there. I'm like, you know what? Processing it for myself. And I said, no, we're going to have a call about this. What's the call about? I said, no,

Why didn't you call these guys back for 90 days? They're your agents, your customers. Why could they never get a hold of you? Why is it that 50 people told me you never called them back? Why? Why is it you never showed up to the office for four months? Why is it you would no longer go visit your clients and see what they were doing? No, I believe in capitalism. We lost in this transaction because you weren't doing your part.

You want me to go sue them for you not doing your part? What are you going to do about that? Why don't you show up to the office? Why don't you go do your part? In business and in capitalism, you're going to get caught. And it sucks. Trust me, that was a nasty season for us when we went through this. But you have to go through it. And so this is the part where...

I don't mind the competition for people to realize what to do. And then what do you want to do? You want to create. So you want me to have cheap labor. So think about it this way for a second. You want me to create the jobs in U.S.? No problem. Let's keep it in U.S. Yet you're making the federal minimum wage higher and higher and higher.

This doesn't make any sense to me. So then lower the minimum wage. Well, no, we can't do that because cost of living is so high. I agree. So then let the market decide. But for us to play with this, you're trying to fix a problem that mathematically is not going to favor you long term. You need competition now.

and you need better regulation, you keep increasing minimum wage, you keep printing money, you keep causing inflation in America, you have to go elsewhere to build it. What do you want the business owner to do? Do you understand what I'm saying? This is the part where either don't stop printing money. Why don't we do the following? Why don't we put a, what do you call it, in place? Whatever the word is. Not a tariff. Why don't we put something in place, Tom? No printing money for 20 years.

And let's do a bipartisan thing. Hey, left, right, and center, let's sign it. 20 years. The next time we print a penny is 2044. Are you willing to sign it? Guess what? You know what then will happen the next 20 years if we don't print money? Then finally there's going to be stability with the value of dollar and inflation. And then shit's not going to be overpriced.

And then we can finally start working and let the market decide what the minimum wage is and let companies have to compete amongst themselves. And then let's see what happens. Not, hey, we're going to keep doing this. I don't know about that mindset, Tom. I don't know about that mindset. I don't think it's a capitalistic mindset to do that.

I fully agree with the China stuff. I fully agree with the tariffs on Mexico. Like those tariffs need to be on Mexico heavily. Go 400% on Mexico. If you want to, you're a neighbor of ours. You want to take this from us? I'll put 400% on you. Go 400% on Canada. If you want to do that, but not when it comes down to businesses because

because these guys are just trying to find a way to pay payroll, health insurance, all this stuff. It's a very complicated thing. And by the way, I'm willing to bet that whole story when he said that, where was he when he said that? That was in Pennsylvania. What was it? Was he in Pennsylvania, Rob? It wasn't. I think it was a city with the letter S. No, it wasn't Scranton's on the other side. It wasn't Scranton. It was, if you go back to that same video you were playing, Rob, just go to the video we're playing. It showed the city and the state, uh,

If you just play top left, it showed the address of the place. Okay. Smithtown, Smithton, Pennsylvania. Okay. So Smith in Pennsylvania, go to Smith in Pennsylvania and let's see what's like, what's famous about Smith in Pennsylvania. So Smith in Pennsylvania,

What is Smith and Pennsylvania known for? Smith and Wesson? Just garages. Smith and Pennsylvania known for. Like, what's there? There's got to be like a Smith and Wesson. There had to be someone backstage or that they upset him and offended him and pissed him off.

And he's putting the fear of death into the people of John Deere. And there could be somebody on the John Deere side that's manipulating and playing games. And the CEO, some shit like that is going on for him to perform, do something like this. Realistically, if you apply that philosophy to other companies, holy shit. Like, okay, if he puts this tariff 200% on Apple for producing a phone in India and China, folks, do you want to pay $3,000 for an iPhone? I just want to make sure that's what this means. Does it not mean that Tom?

Does it not mean that, that if you put the same thing on iPhones and other things, products go up? What if right now Trump comes out and says, I'm going to put a 200% tariff on anything that Apple produces outside of the States when it comes onto their supplies? The stock goes down tomorrow and every single thing they make goes up. That's a very...

The very, you guys watch the content, you know where I stand politically and what my position is, but I'm a, you, you, you, you cannot hurt the economy in a way where business is very, very hard and businesses are paying a price right now with inflation, everything that's going on. I'm not, I'm not fully supportive of policy. And that's why I say I'm not protectionist. I believe in tariffs and embargoes to punish bad actors, not industries because you want to get them to move or do something.

And if you have a bad actor like China that won't float its currency with currencies around the world and artificially creates the value there, that's a bad actor. And so you can use embargoes and tariffs to get after them. If somebody's dumping in your country and just artificially reducing prices, that's dumping. You can use embargoes and tariffs. But you don't use embargoes and tariffs to manage the natural economy. I am not a protectionist. And John Deere, just John Deere stock, Pat?

has gone up just in one month, 8.4% up. In five days, it went up 4%. And just yesterday, I thought that might affect it. It went up another almost one and a half. John Deere's number one job

Their job is to be accountable to who? Their shareholders. 100%. That's what their job is. And then it's your employees and the people that work with you. Rob, can you do me a favor and go to the next clip with Mark Cuban? Somebody cut up a bunch of different clips from Mark Cuban. And one of the ones is from the interview he and I did. This is, I cannot believe this is nine years ago. Look at my beautiful haircut with the incredible orange. Who the hell wears an orange sweater to an interview?

Okay, by the way, that is his office in American Airlines that he has in the Dallas Mavericks Arena. It's a sick office. But go ahead and play the clip. So one would call you a Democrat. No, no, hell no, no, no. Look, there's different things for different reasons, right? Would you be comfortable with a capitalist like Donald Trump being our president? Yeah, I don't have a problem with that. I like Donald and he's smart. You know, like a lot of candidates and politicians, you vote for not what they say.

But knowing that 99% of they say won't come true, what they'll do once they get it. Who's going to follow through? And do I think he's smart enough to figure that out and then just do the right thing after he's elected? Yes. And then Hillary and Bernie say, OK, tax the 1% and that'll pay for everything. Doesn't work, right? Won't work. You know, Hillary's pay for college. Her plan is ridiculous. It'll increase college costs, not reduce. You know, so they don't they don't think them through. You said, you know, Trump, I get it.

He's changing the tone of politics. You know, in the past, you had to be a Stepford candidate. You had to be perfect. You know, did you ever inhale? Oh, no, I only inhaled. Right. Just you had to be perfect. Now, Trump is the ultimate imperfect candidate. And I think the beauty of what he's doing isn't his policy or further away in this interview, but he's making everybody else become more real.

He's making them more honest. That's good for politics. It's like, stay away, you smell. You have a long history with Donald Trump. That's my boy. I'm here in air traffic control. That's my boy, Blue. You can pause it right there. But this is what happens when, again, my opinion behind closed doors. He was expecting to get a job. He didn't get it.

Trump didn't give him what he wanted. He negotiated it. And he says, for the rest of my life, you're going to be my enemy. And he's chosen Trump as his enemy. Oh, you think there's a personal vendetta behind the scenes beyond one TDS million percent, but,

Do you know in how many different places these two should find a way to work together? You know how many different things they agree on? But this guy's made it. He's chosen his enemy. His enemy is Trump. It's very obvious that's his enemy, who he's going after. But he's going to be one of the guys running in 2028, my opinion. Anyways, okay, so let's go to the next story. I'm going to go through the story of what happened with Lebanon, Israel, and Iran next, okay? So Lebanon says Israel strikes, killed 5,000.

558 people, 50 of them children. This is a barren story. Rob, if you can play this clip, go for it. From yesterday until now, the Ministry of Health recorded 585 martyrs, between them 20 children and 50 women.

And this is contradictory to what the Israel enemy says that it was only targeting military forces and other things. But the truth is that what we're seeing is that the people who were killed in the attacks yesterday were mostly civilians.

Okay, you can pause it right there. Let me just read the story, Rob. So Lebanon said Tuesday, the death toll from Israeli bombardment day earlier, 558, including 50 children, deadliest day of violence since Hezbollah and Israel went to war in 2006. So far, the health ministry recorded the numbers, 50 children, 94 women. This frankly negates the lies of Israel enemy who set its target in combat forces. The truth, unfortunately, vast majority yesterday attack with unarmed with their homes, a toll of 1835.

People were wounded, he said, adding that they were receiving treatment in 54 hospitals. Four of the dead were rescuers from the Risala Scout Association, which is affiliated with Hezbollah ally Amal. And now based on this story comes out same day, AP News, U.S. is sending more troops to the Middle East,

As violence rises between Israel and Hezbollah, the U.S. is sending small number of additional troops to the Middle East in response to sharp spike in violence between them.

Major General Pat Ryder, Pentagon press secretary, would not say how many forces would be deployed or what they would be tasked to do. The U.S. now has about 40,000 troops in the region. On Monday, the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman, two Navy destroyers and a cruiser set sail from Norfolk, Virginia, headed to Sixth Fleet area in Europe on a regular scheduled deployment. So there you go with that one. The ship's departure opened on the possibility that the U.S.,

Could keep both the Truman and the aircraft, USS Abraham Lincoln, which is the Arabian, in the Arabian Gulf, in a region in case of Iran. President warns, I mean, this is just getting nastier and nastier. Tom, what are your thoughts on this? Well, you know, Hezbollah has spent, help me with the time, um,

Adam, 18 years since the second Lebanon war, 18 years ago? 2006, I believe, was the last one. Yeah, 18 years. So it's 18 years, and Hezbollah has been sitting there building up in southern Lebanon preparing for this day.

But there's been a technique they've been using. They've been digging bunkers, they've been digging tunnels, and it was exposed how they've built these homes that have rooms upstairs for the cruise missiles, and they are hiding missiles and armaments in homes because they know that when Israeli intelligence finds out about them, that's what they're going to go after.

And so this escalation is going to get crazy, and you're going to hear media talking about what Israel is doing to civilians. But Hezbollah has spent 18 years hiding this stuff in tunnels and in civilian locations and mosques. Oh, they killed a mosque. You're guaranteed to kill some people that are just there worshiping. You know, family will be there. Kids will be there. But there's stuff in that mosque that is...

That is weapons. And so this is about to get really, really ugly. And it's going to be, it's going to make Gaza look small compared to what happens in Southern Lebanon with all this Hezbollah armaments and stuff, Pat, that are hiding in civilian targets, civilian homes, and in mosques. Adam. Well, I feel for the people of Lebanon, because much like what's going on in Gaza, the,

innocent people are stuck in the middle and i don't think anyone of sound mind of sound brain of sound heart wants to see innocent people die but you know we say here all the time pat elections have consequences when you're when the year is 2006 and the palestinian people elect hamas a u.s designated terrorist group you're gonna probably have to deal with that at some point and i

What's going on in Lebanon right now is that in their parliamentary system, Hezbollah, which I literally think is Hezbollah, it's like the army of God. Hezbollah has a major part of Lebanese government and Lebanese society. And the Hezbollah militants, they're funded by Take a Wild Guess.

The Islamic Republic of Iran. That's why the famous phrase that Iran is, you know, the head of the snake. They're actually more of...

the head of the octopus because their tentacles are basically reaching around all of the Middle East and they want to export terrorism and the caliphate and jihadism all over the Middle East and all over the world if they can. And here is just another regional terrorist group that has hijacked a beautiful country. I mean, what was Beirut formerly known as the Paris of the Middle East? Good luck with that analogy these days.

And essentially what happens is this, that innocent people are going to be caught in the middle when you have a terror regime governing your entire society and basically threatening extermination of the Israeli state. And Israel is basically saying, I mean, if you want the bottom line, here's what, this is my opinion. Ready? Israel is basically saying, listen,

You saw what we did in Gaza. We definitely don't want to do this. Please don't make us do this. But I'm letting you know right now, Lebanon, Yemen, whoever it may be, we're not just going to come after Hezbollah. We're going to mess you all up. And if we wanted to, we could. By the way, do you see the images of people leaving and fleeing Lebanon right now?

Because basically what the Israeli army does, IDF does, is they basically say, hey, guys, you have 48 hours and we are coming in to basically level your entire area. So we don't actually want to kill you, despite all the narratives that were a genocidal, maniac army. Please leave this town because we're coming for Hezbollah. And here, look at these images right here. This is basically the Lebanese people saying up.

Turns out aligning with Hezbollah is not exactly... Wait, go back to the traffic. This is people what? Leaving? Leaving Lebanon. Mm-hmm. Basically saying, heeding Israel's warning. Because basically what Israel did, we all know what happened with the walkie-talkies and the beepers. They're pretty technically savvy, but they also broke into Lebanese airwaves, the radio, and they basically said, ah...

Yala, it's time to go. It's time to go because we're coming after Hezbollah. And by the way, Rob, I sent you an image. Do you know how many of their top 20 leaders Israel has killed in the last week? Just in the last week alone?

uh one two three four ninety percent of their top leadership gone precision there it is right there i don't know if you can see the image zoom in a little bit but uh the only guy that's still alive is there um this is what ninety percent of whose leadership this is hezbollah's leadership that israel has eliminated that if they have eliminated who's the ten percent that's left well the main guy is still there okay um

I'll get you his name in one second. Nasrallah, he's been the leader of Hezbollah, I want to say, for 20 plus years.

They're best friends with Iran. This is what they're doing. They're getting funded from Iran. And this comes back to U.S. elections. What is Kamala Harris going to do that's different from the Biden administration? Let's bring this down to back to reality of the U.S. The Biden administration has looked feckless and weak, and they haven't basically picked a side. And they're basically pandering to Michigan. And they're basically saying, hey, look, we kind of want to be your friends and please don't. But

But we're seeing when you don't pick a side and stand with your allies, what kind of chaos ensues. So it should have ended, boom, done with Gaza. Now it's Lebanon. That's a potential another war. Syria is right there. Yemen. The world is less safe with a Biden-Harris administration. I mean, look at the look at the data. You might say that Trump is a threat to democracy or is a loose cannon and, you know, little rocket man.

it's kind of hard to find a war that Trump started Vinny. What do you at least didn't finish? Um, I mean, it's listen and you nailed, I sent Rob, I sent you a slack of a video of a bomb going off. Uh, I don't know. Do they look nuclear or freaking mushroom cloud? This is in Lebanon right here. We never chance put the, did you hear, I saw this video, this thing, whatever it was. Can you imagine you're just put the volume up Robbie and then yeah, put this, look at, look at this explosion.

Dude, that's a shock. That is that looks like a freaking. No, that's. Yeah. So that's happening in Lebanon. That's a sonic shockwave. Yeah. That looks insane. Rob, did you get the video I sent you? I'm just I love this. I don't love. I'm just what happened there, though. A bomb went off. But here's here's what I'm hearing from. Yeah, literally. That exact bomb. Yes. They're saying the IDF blew up a missile depot.

And when they blew up the missile depot, all the missiles started blowing up. Obviously. So my point is it was intentional. Yeah, of course. They didn't go after civilian targets. They went after. Here's a. They went after where they were hiding all the missiles, by the way, just in, you know, another building part of town. So usually when a bomb goes off, boom, explosion. It doesn't go pop, pop, pop.

pop, pop, pop like that. Right, Vinny? Yeah. You're the gun expert. Yeah. So this is what just ammo and missiles blowing up internally. Yeah. I don't know the specifics. I'm just, listen, you know, our nine 11 happened. And that was just, I mean, the green light for what, you know, going to Iraq, going over here, going like we, that started everything. So October 7th is, you know, Israel's now they're like, okay, we're going everywhere. And if you think about it, uh,

They're in Beirut right now. They're blowing up. That war has started. You're talking about Syria. You're talking about Iran. Bro, Iran is next. So Israel right now is expanding and starting this war. And now the one thing that bothers me is that now we are going to get involved. How many troops are we sending, Pat? We have a total of 40,000. We've sent more people. 40,000 in the Middle East right now. And that's the one thing, Adam, and I get it. We have to help allies and all this. Rob, you can correct me on what I just said. If what I said is inaccurate, I said 40,000.

It's not we send 40,000. We have a total 40,000 there right now. Yes, 40,000 are in the region. They have not released how many they're sending. They just said that they are going to send. Yeah, so we're going to send. So and if you think about it, we keep hearing this. World War Three. Trump's going to World War Three. The definition to be in a world war is multiple conflicts involving major powers, economic warfare, formation of new alliances. We've been seeing that with Russia and China and North Korea and all these places, global instability and unrest.

a nuclear threat. We are technically by definition in World War III right now. And I just do not like as a veteran, as my brother, my sister, as you, Pat, I don't like the fact that now we are sending soldiers. So now we are directly involved. And listen, this is going to get uglier and uglier and uglier. And that's the last thing that we wanted. And I just want to quote Ben Shapiro. Ben Shapiro said,

Israel can take care of itself. Israel is a freaking powerhouse. It has nuclear capability. It's ridiculous. We see the position. We see the Iron Dome. My personal thing... When did Ben say that? Ben Shapiro, Rob. Can you find that clip? Really? Ben Shapiro said in a video, I think it was on Bill Maher, PBD. He said...

He goes, Israel could take care of itself. He said that. He said that quote. And I'm just, listen, I'm pro, you know, them protecting themselves. Israel has a right to protect itself. Americans dying for anybody else's war, I am not cool with, period. Tom, say your final thoughts. I'll say a couple words and we'll move on. My final thought is, Rob, I sent you, you see the text I sent you, and just...

Move that video and just freeze it where you can see all of the armaments that the intelligence found. Adam, check this out. Yeah. Just real quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. Yeah, it was a text I sent you? Never mind. He's pulling it up. There we go. Go ahead. So now just let it go. Let it go for about four seconds. Watch this, guys.

Stop. That is what they've done in this particular community. And this is Israeli intelligence has found out where they are hiding missiles and other things. Keep it going now. This is the problem. You know, they have chosen to make this a war around the citizens. Those are people living in apartments up there.

And you got this missile launcher that's in the garage underneath. And Israel is proving it and showing all these things. I hope Israel can take care of herself with her own intelligence and using arms, arms that we've given her. I don't want to see our troops in the region. And I think she can take care of herself. But this underlines the problem, that once these sides go at it,

You've got mosques, apartments and everything that are being destroyed. And that's why all those people are in that traffic jam. They know what's downstairs. Yeah. Well, listen, I have zero respect for Hezbollah. I remember living with them in Iran. I remember, you know, stories of me and my mother and my sister going out there shopping and,

you know, what they would ask women to do in the middle of the street and the level of fears women had. I have no respect for Hezbollah at all whatsoever. Zero. Okay. Zero. Uh, with what they're doing, especially with the fact that Iran, and by the way, when I looked up this guy, Nasrallah that you were talking about and what he did, his background and what he had to do and who he was connected to and what things he did. Um,

In a situation like this, hearing stories like, you know, the ugly part about war is what? The 50 children, 92 women. Okay. The 50 children is the part where you sit there, no matter who it is as a human being. First, especially if you got a kid, first place you go to is,

No wonder this rage keeps continuing over and over and over and over and over again, right? Having said that, this could have been prevented. Maybe it was instigated. Now it's getting bigger and bigger. Now more people are getting involved. Now the more America feeds into this machine, it's going to get worse. And hopefully when the temperatures are getting to levels like this one, the next guy, God willing, on November 5th, when things changed on November 5th, you have to pick and choose one thing. You got Trump.

You got Kamala. Who do you think the Hezbollahs are going to respond to stronger saying, we don't want to F with that person? You think Hezbollah is going to sit there and say, oh my God,

Kamala Harris, don't do anything, guys. Let's wait till she's out of office. Or do you think they're going to say, who's the guy, Trump right there? Nah, man, we're not doing nothing with that guy. This is why elections matter. And if we do the right thing, you know, who knows what's going to be taking place. But during his time, we didn't have a lot of issues like this. Let me just read the story and then I'm going to give you the last thing and then we'll wrap up. Iran president warns irreversible consequences of wider regional war, Reuters,

Israel wants to drag the Middle East into a full-blown war by provoking Iran to join the nearly Euro conflict between Israel

And Tehran back Hezbollah. Again, this is Reuters saying this. In Lebanon, Iran president said on Monday, warning of its irreversible consequences. Iran's president said that Israel wants to drag this out in a full-blown war. Masoud Pesekshian, speaking to a group of journalists after his arrival to New York, attended the United Nations General Assembly, said, We do not wish to be the cause of instability in the Middle East as its consequences would be irreversible. We want to live in peace.

We don't want war, he added, and it is Israel that seeks to create this all-out conflict. Now, you can say that as much as you want, but, you know, stories and data and history says otherwise. Pesach Sean, same person, a relatively moderate politician who was elected in July promising a pragmatic foreign policy, accused the international community of silence in the face of what he called Israel's genocide in Gaza. We will defend any group that is defending its right in itself,

And he said, when asked whether Iran will enter the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, he did not elaborate. Adam. Well, speaking of the new Iranian president, by the way, Pat, when was that election? Two months ago? Just a couple of months ago. Yeah, OK. So he was elected as sort of a moderate who is going to basically reach out to the West. Correct? That's sort of his position. Supposed. Supposed. You know.

uh is that am i saying that right how much power does the president of iran actually have versus the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini how much how much power does the president have historically speaking no right now no no it's if i tell you since 79 it's not even close meaning no no president doesn't have a lot of power it's all about the supreme leader yes yes okay

So he, guys, I apologize. Listeners. I said, but I should have said, yeah, I got to carry that. Right. That's right. It's like Hawk to a, with a mania. It's so funny. I'm talking to Rob. Did you catch what I did yesterday or no? Cause I didn't hear you laugh. I thought you didn't catch it. I didn't want to break because it was so good. The way you said it.

Can you tell them what happened? We're having a serious conversation with this guy that's from Finland. Nice guy. Go ahead, Rob. I'll let you say his name's Hari Hurst. And he has something called the Hurst hack, which is how he hacked an electronic voting machine. But we had a voting machine here yesterday. He hacked into it live on the podcast. What? He's bought 200 voting machines. Oh, my God. And he's not a fan of Trump. Right.

but he hacked into the voting machine. Go ahead, Rob. So we're talking about the hurry hacked, but the way that he says it with his Finnish accent, it sounded very weird. And Pat said, so you had the Hawk Tua, and the guy said, what? And then Pat said, never mind, go on. And the guy went right back to telling us about electronic voting machines. Oh, man. So we're going to laugh. I heard the guys back there with this freaking vault. What a vault. I heard these guys in the back laughing, but Rob kept, Rob, I was so, typically you'll bust out, but you kept it together. I didn't want to ruin it. I wanted to hold.

Because it was such a serious moment. And I said, did you say Hak Tua? Anyway, go ahead. Hak what? Yeah, go ahead. By the way, a little fun fact. Hak Tua girl should come out and endorse Trump. She's there in Nashville. You know, she can be the opposite of Taylor. But back to our friend Pizeshkian. I think he's speaking at the UN today here in New York. The president of...

The Islamic Republic of Iran. I want to say he's speaking. If you can find that, he's going to be. It was yesterday. That was yesterday. Did he speak? OK, so and then here's the article in The Wall Street Journal. Iran's new president faces a reality check in New York. Massoud Rajeshkin will try to set new foreign policy tone in a speech at the U.N. But breakthrough on sanctions relief is unlikely because of their nuclear program. But Pat, here's my question for you, because you said growing up, you said I had no respect for.

For Hezbollah, meaning they were there in Iran already when you were growing up? Yes. They were in... Hezbollah's been around for a long time. Everyone thinks that they're based in, obviously, Lebanon, but they're all over the Middle East. This is sort of the exportation of... They were all over Iran. If, God forbid, a woman was shown a little bit of hair, you...

You don't want to know what would happen to these women. Wow. Yeah. No, this, this is, so what they're going through right now, it's two different ideologies. It's two different philosophies of ways of living and they're clashing and their neighbors. Okay. Is that you ever lived in an apartment complex where you're living somewhere and you're a peaceful family, like for your own. So you're trying to do whatever you can to take care of your family, financially, everything you're doing.

But then the next door neighbors, every day fight, angry, screaming, temperamental. Everything leads to a fight. How long can you live in that apartment complex without a big brawl breaking out all the damn time? How long? And then somebody tries to play the peacemaker constantly. That apartment complex, you know, is it's constantly going to be in chaos. But anyways, here's a quick little fun fact. It's kind of giving testament to your story right there. There was an open letter written by Hezbollah.

in 1985 basically stating its goals i think we did this about hamas there yeah four points the charter and here's the quick uh version of it we the sons of hezbollah nation whose vanguard god has given victory in iran talking about the ayatollah were embodied by the supreme ayatollah khomeini

Have I said that right this time? Khomeini. It's okay. Keep going. We declare the sons of Hezbollah nation have come to know their well, basic enemies in the area of America, Israel, and France. Cause I think France had a, uh,

colonial relationship with, uh, Lebanon at one point, our confrontation, this entity must. And with its obliteration from existence, we condemn strongly all the plans for mediation between us and Israel. So again, their entire premise is not building, not creating, not unifying it's destroying. And when your manifesto is based on death, destruction, and despair, that's who basically you're electing with his wall. All right. So let's go to the next story. Next story. I want to get into, uh,

is Kamala's tax plan. I did a video. We talked about it on Valuetainment as well as on Twitter. But, Rob, here's what I want to do. On Kamala's new tax plan, Tax Foundation broke the whole thing down to say exactly how much it's going to be costing you and where they're getting the money from, okay, and how much revenue they're going to get the money from. So you hear about the unrealized capital gains, Vinny. We've heard about the fact that above $100 million, 25%,

potentially unrealized. So these guys did the analysis and they broke down for every single policy in her tax plan, how much money they will collect, go all the way to the top right. No, no, not you, Rob audience watching this. You see where it says 25 to 2034.

That's how much money that's going to collect from us during 10-year period. And if you go to the top left, it says individual revenue raisers. There's three categories to it. I'm going to go through every one of these, and you guys ought to be able to share this with your peers, friends, family who are voting whatever way and say, are you okay with this? So let's go through it. They want to raise the top tax rate to individuals income to 39.6%.

That's going to generate them $170.5 billion the next 10 years from individual income earners. Okay, next one. Tax unrealized capital gains at death over $5 million and impose a 28% tax rate on capital gains over a million. That's going to give them another $172 billion. Look at the next one. Expand the net investment income tax base to active investors.

pass-through income, that's going to give them $258 billion. Raise the net investment income from 3.8% to 5%, another $125 billion. Raise the additional Medicare from 0.9% to 2.1%. By the way, no one's going to pay taxes. It's only the rich. That's everybody. Medicare is everyone. That's everybody. Look at how much that raises. From you, the average person making $60,000 a year, you're going to be paying for this.

$258 billion in the next 10 years. Make permanent a limit on excess business losses for pass-through limits. $21 billion. Limit 1031 like exchange to $500,000 in gains, which, by the way, you want to explain what that is? That basically means the 1031 exchange is where you sell one house and buy another. Roll the money over. Roll the money over. That will impact your mom and dad. If they sold their house for $700,000 in New Jersey and moved to Florida, they're going to get hit. That's right. 1031. Yeah.

So that's another $20 billion. Tax carried interest on ordinary income, $7 billion. Create new limitations on high-income taxpayers for large retirement accounts. That's so ridiculous. Hey, you should retire for the future so you don't rely on the government. Yeah, I did the right thing, so I don't have to come to you for money. Let's tax you. $64 billion. You saved too much. We're coming after you. Next one here. Required distribution of miscellaneous tax. So that one, $94 billion. Tighten estate and gift tax rules, $94 billion. Miscellaneous, $21 billion. Just for the individual, Vinny. That's it.

The next 10 years, they're going to raise $1.21 trillion. Now let's go to the next one, which is corporate revenue raisers. Raise corporate tax rate to 28%. How much money does that give them? $882 billion. Let me tell you what happens when they do this.

When I want to give a raise or invest back into the business, we step back because when we sit down and talk to accountants regularly, I had a one-hour call with them yesterday because an audit is taking place, and the government's trying to see what happened with our business, and all of a sudden, I don't know what special requesting they're asking about that they're doing right now, which...

My accountant said the following. I've been doing this for 30 years. I've never seen this. I don't know why they're going through a... It's not an audit. They're just kind of going through something unique. This is a big accounting firm that we're going through this. So they're going to take that money and they're going to say, hey, instead of giving that money to you to invest into your business, give it to us, the U.S. government. $882. Raise corporate alternative minimum tax from 15% to 21%. Another $346 billion. 21% G...

What happened, Tom? No, I was just... Tom, I'm going to get there. We've got plenty of time. I don't need signs for me to follow stuff through. 21% GILTI, minimum tax...

rate and other glt changes 278 billion dollars repeat fd 92 billion dollars section 265 change 187 billion dollars four percent excise tax on stock buybacks okay 79 billion dollars modification 262 million dollar limit on deduction of excessive excessive employee remuneration they didn't write it right 265 billion dollars miscellaneous 34 look how much money they're going to collect from corporations

Over the next 10 years. $2.166 trillion. But they're not done yet. Go to the next one. Individual revenue raisers.

impose a 25% minimum tax on unrealized gains on a hundred million dollars. Plus they're planning on collecting half a trillion dollars. The next 10 years from people that have a hundred million dollar network levy on under tax profits rule on large multinational firms to 25 changes to tax compliance and administration, 24 other real,

Revenue changes, 766. Look at the number right there. You see it? Rob, can you highlight it so people can see the total? Just type in the total gross revenue right there. $4.143 trillion of money is going to go from the people, us,

to the government the next 10 years, which let me unpack what this means. So in other words, there is a guy that visited the States the last week. His name is Vladimir Zelensky, who that money that they're getting from you and I, hardworking people, let's give him a few hundred billion dollars, $50 billion, $100 billion, $200 billion. Let's give everybody else the money and let's take that money away from you.

Let's take the money away from a guy named Elon Musk who spends it to reinvest it into his business. No, no. We think the U.S. government can do a better job than you. You pay up here. You give us the money. And then, Tom, if you want to break down what you were showing me there, how that impacts a regular person, what that means there. No, I wasn't trying to interrupt you. But when you tax all that money on businesses, two things happen. It's going to create inflation effect because the businesses are trying to make profits. And the other thing that happens is...

If the business makes less profit, your 401k and your IRA are going to lose value. So the 401k that most people have through their businesses, you know, not through a business, they work for a business, they have a 401k, they're going to see the value of that 401k shift. So all of this taxing also has another hidden tax on the 401k.

on the value of IRAs and 401ks. Those are going to go down, meaning you have less money there for that monthly allowance that goes along with Social Security that you're supposed to live on in retirement. Tom, let's just say this policy goes through, okay? Can you paint a picture? We do business together for a long time, nearly 20 years our relationship, and we've been doing business together for a little over a decade, I want to say now, right? Yeah, we're over a decade of doing business together.

And business, 15 years, we've done stuff, advisory role. But business, business day to day, almost a decade, over a decade. Say Kamala's elected. What are some of the next three, five, seven things we, you and I, and our board, leadership, what are some of the next five, seven moves we would be doing to

If this were to take place. Well, we would be looking at how much profit we have because we always reinvest back in tomorrow's products. We always reinvest in things. The reason the reason Manecta is here is because Vault did well and Valuetainment Media did well. So suddenly we're going to look at, OK, how much profit do we really have at the end of the year to reinvest in these new products?

We'd be looking at that. How many new job openings are there really going to have so we could hire people to maybe make these other products and to run the vault conference and stuff? It's going to have an impact on jobs and our ability to expand and grow. And that has a negative impact on people, on people that are like, that's a great company. I like to go work there. I like to be a part of that. There's going to be less opportunity. We're going to be looking at all of that stuff.

And we're going to be looking at how much raise can we afford to do it? Because we're not public on the stock market right now. We're a private company that's trying to reinvest and build and build and build on our future vision. It's going to severely impact us. And what she's doing, they are going after to create a dependent America on government in line with their globalist agenda. It's that simple.

People say, why are they doing this? Why are they doing this? They want us to be dependent on them. And then they want to push their globalist agenda. But that's what happens to companies. We can't expand. We can't add jobs. We can't invest in new products. That's what happens to us. I hope everybody that's listening to this and watching this is probably going to put a link. I want them to send this to their Democrat, liberal, brainwashed, idiot friends and let them know what the hell these people are trying to do. Let's put the link below on TaxValue. Because you doing that and showing me that is unbelievable.

Unbelievable. Number one. Number two, you know, we all know Kamala is not making this plan. Who is the person who are the people behind that, that shitty ass plan that's going to destroy our country. That's what I'm curious about. I mean, this is, this is what you have to think about. So for us, like I don't have any hate towards Kamala. I don't know Kamala. How can you hate somebody that you don't know? Okay. I don't know who this person is. I don't know what she does. I don't know her background.

going to dinner. I don't know Joe Biden. I don't know Obama. I don't know any of these guys. We have no relationship together, right? So for me, it's not that. When it comes down to direct policies where for someone who lived in Iran 11 years, you

you know, lived in Germany, has been here, wasn't a military, ran a business, used to be an employee, figure out a way to build a business. All this stuff that we've gone through with the risks that we've taken, family, kids, I'm just thinking about what are the main things that a family person, if you have kids, if you have a wife, if you have a husband, if you have a business, if you have a job, what are the most important things to you? Number one is making sure economically you're sound.

Very simple. Okay. Number two is making sure you're safe. You don't want a war, right? Number three, making sure you're free to express yourself on what you believe in. Okay. I agree with this. I like this. I'm a Yankees fan. I hate the Yankees. I like the Dodgers. Okay.

I'm a Lakers fan. I'm a, you know, yeah, I'm a Christian. I'm a Muslim. I'm a, this, I'm a Jew. I'm a Scientologist. I don't like these guys. I don't like that religion to hell with this religion. I don't like Armenians. I don't like a series. I don't know. Whatever it is that you have, you can say that a person can watch the podcast right now. I'm not following the comment section of the chat. I'm not looking at, right. I guarantee you there's people in the chat that right now are saying, all you guys care about is this. And I guarantee you there's people that are saying, dude, I agree with this stuff. But the most basic thing that,

Do you believe that $4.1 trillion is better off in the government's hands or in your hands? Do you believe that $4.1 trillion is better off with Kamala and her team making a decision? With Biden and her team making a decision?

or whoever else, even the Trump's camp making the decision? Or do you believe you do? Because that's how this decision is being made. If you think the American people know what's best for their husbands, their wives, their kids, their families, their communities, then you cannot logically vote for $4.1 trillion tax plan. You just can't. Because that's a way of, if a person votes for this, you know what they're indirectly saying?

They're indirectly are saying, I'm not good enough to make the right decisions for me and my family. I'm not. We had a guy at the soccer tournament, his son, Mauricio, who was dribbling the ball really well. And we had a conversation with him both days. He comes and says, oh my God, I watch your podcast. I don't agree with what you say, but I love the podcast. I'm like, really? Yeah. I said, so tell me, where are you from? Monterey, Mexico. Really? Yeah. What brought you here?

You know, I had an opportunity to come up and I eventually got it and I got my visa and it was lottery or something. I ended up being here. What do you love about America?

Oh, I can, I love the fact that in America you have the freedom to be able to build a business as big as you want it to. What else do you love about him? I love the fact that America wants to be the best. They're always competing to be. Remember when he said this? Of course. That we want to be the best. And I love that. I said, what else do you love about him? I love the fact that, I said, so what can you disagree with me? I remember that. And then he finally, after 20 minutes of talking to him, he just can't stand Trump as a person. He cannot stand a person, right? That's what this guy's saying. Right.

And then I said, tell me about your two other brothers and mom, dad, you know, the upbringing and what happened with him when he was, you know, youngest was 17 years old. Parents separated. They got a divorce. Didn't make any sense. They had been married for God knows how many years. And he's telling me about his story, his son, how great a father he is, how much he wants to do all for all this stuff. The most basic thing, if you take personalities out and you actually look at this logically, who the hell in the right mind thinks the government would do better with the money than you in what areas? Yeah.

In UPS, do you trust UPS or more FedEx and DHL? Why? In what? When it comes down to what, customer service? Go to DMV if you want to really increase your blood pressure. Stay there for an hour. In what area? It's really maybe 10% of things that they do better with. Rob, can you go to a tweet from Joe Biden? If you go to one of my recent tweets,

And I kind of want to open this up. Adam used to be a school teacher before. Let's go to this before one year. If you go to Twitter and you type in what Joe Biden posted, go down a little bit. It should be right there, right there. Zoom in right there at the top, right there. Go a little lower. Joe Biden tweets yesterday. He says the following. It's time public school teachers got a raise. This is yesterday.

I responded, it's time to fire bottom 30% of teachers and give the top 10% a raise. Zero competition for teachers leads to public schools being filled with teachers who hate their jobs. Bingo. Again, bad policies have consequences. Do you think public schools do better than private schools?

You think public schools in America are crushing it? Why? It's another thing that the government does. You want to give these guys more money? You want to give these unions more power? You want to give these guys more money to make the decisions for what you think is best for you and your family? Versus what if that money flipped and goes to you? Here's the money instead of us giving it automatically to public schools. Where would you like your kids to go to? What if that's $10,000, $12,000 coming back to you?

What if some of you chose to say, I can afford to take that money and do homeschooling, do this, do that. What does that look like? That's the basic election conversation. Tom, when you see something like this from President Biden, this time public school teachers got a raise. How do you process that? That's a pandering election year comment to the president.

The unions. It's time public school teachers got a raise. It's like saying it's time for lunch. What do you mean? How are you going to do it? Who are you going to help? What are you going to do it? You just got this little comment coming out there. When I see these, it's just this is the social media clerk that works on the President Biden that

And when they're saying it's time teachers got a raise, I agree it's time teachers got a raise. But I agree with you. Which teachers, just like anything else in life, the ones that are performing and making a difference and are great at their job, they deserve a raise. They deserve more benefits. And the unions are protecting or hurting those great teachers because they protect them.

the low performing teachers under the shackles of the union that keeps them all in basically in prison. These teachers are stuck in the prison of the union and the good ones can't get out and get what they're worth because they're shackled and they're handcuffed to the ones that aren't performing. So forget about the clerk running the Biden tweet here. You're right. Let's give the ones that are performing a raise already.

for their impact and for their performance. And if you don't measure up, I'm sorry, you can go move lumber around at Home Depot. Adam. Well, you said the key word that basically is going to cut through this entire conversation. You said, if you are logically thinking that,

If you want to process this logically, you know, if speaking from a logical perspective and I'm with you on that, but half of America isn't, I would say 80% of America isn't 80% of America is deeply, deeply emotional. And it's a gut feeling they have in their stomach. And that's how they're going to go through respect for us going through the tax plan and the policy. But many people are not even going to look into any policies. I mean, we get it. We, you know, the, the,

You know, you, Pat, you use a word here all the time. You said, is it okay if I challenge you? Can I challenge what you're saying? And by the way, challenge me as well. That whole dynamic is super important. By the way, what's the opposite of challenging? Pandering.

And just telling people what they want to hear. Handouts, free stuff, stimulus, welfare checks. Let's go give people money. I'm here with you. Eliminate student loans. Teachers need a raise. Which teachers? Okay. By the way, do you know what percentage of teachers are women versus men? 75% are women. So, you know, this whole deeply emotional conversation that people are basically grappling with Trump or Kamala, uh,

It ceases to amaze me how the Democrats, you see their playbook. It's just abortion straight up. Like I wish there were more meat on the bone here. What the democratic party basically stood for. It's abortion straight up. And that's an emotional situation. I want to show something. And just quick stat. Kamala is up 21%.

percent on women. Trump is up 12% men, women skyrocketed since Kamala came in. She's re-energized the base. That's a 33 point swing. Here's a little fun fact. Kamala Harris since July, since basically the last two months that she's been in this race, it's been the largest increase of any politician net approval ratings since George W. Bush, nine 11.

So 23 plus years ago was the last time a candidate in an overnight situation just skyrocketed. So you can tell, you can thank the media, you can thank the infrastructure of what's going on in the democratic party. But this lady who was,

In July, 50% disapproved, 32% approved. Negative 18. She has now officially crossed over to have a higher approval rating than disapproval. That means... That it's all smoke and mirrors and it's all deeply emotional. That means abortion...

to these voters is more important than World War III, is more important than their kids' dreams becoming a reality, and it's more important of them becoming wealthy and creating wealth, is more important than them making the... I mean, you realize... No, that is literally what's going on. But let me just tell you how we got here. You put a tweet yesterday, Adam, which was sick. Rob, can you pull up this tweet from Adam yesterday? Okay? This is Adam's tweet yesterday.

Okay. So this is from rabbit hole. If you guys can go to it, professors go, go. It says professors are Democrats. Therefore experts are Democrats to watch the percentage, go all the way to the bottom. So we can see the difference between red and so percentage of Democrat professors in the field are,

surveyed 5,116 people versus Republicans. Go all the way to the top. Let's start. In the communication, 100% of professors you go to in communication are Democrats. 100% of professors in anthropology are Democrats. Look at religion, which is the scary 99%. 99% of Democrats.

What do you think they're saying about Christianity? Look at English teachers, 98. Sociology, 98. Art, 98. Music, 97. Theater, 97. Classics, 96. Geoscience, 96. Environmental, 96. Language, 95. Biology, 95. Philosophy, 95. History, 95. Psychology, 94. Poli-Sci, 89. Computers, 86. Physics, 86. Mathematics, 85.

Professional, 85. Economics, 85. Chemistry, 83. Engineering is barely, but still more. So that means when you send your kids off to college,

There's a 95% chance they're going to come out as Democrats. And by the way, even for the Democratic people that watch his podcast, the liberals who watch his podcast, you're watching us right now, you can't stand us. You don't like us and you post your reviews on Spotify and all these other places. A guy posted a review yesterday about the New Book Academy that came out. He says, these are four of the dumbest men I've ever heard on a podcast ever. It doesn't get dumber than these four, right? Yeah.

Those who can't stand what we talk about, if you have this much of logic in you, okay, and you can reason, try this out with us. You tell me, you think this is a good idea? No.

You want kids to go to a college that 95% of the teachers are all on one side politically. You know what you call this? If it happened in business, this would be called a monopoly. So we have a monopoly in our universities and our kids are coming out confused. Why do you think for the first time,

Parents are like, I don't know if I'm sending my kids to college anymore. I don't know if I'm going to waste my time sending them over there. Why? Because this is exactly their biggest concern today, Adam. Well, listen, for whoever's whether you're Republican, conservative, Democrat, liberal. Imagine if this were flipped and you saw this and it was 100 percent red, 100 percent red, 99 percent red.

As a liberal, you'd be freaking out. You're like, hold on. This many conservatives, they're taking over the school system. They're taking what? But it's Hollywood. It's the school system. It's media companies. It's Silicon Valley. And we're starting to see that change maybe a little bit. But without Donald Trump, and I mean this sincerely, the Republican Party would be completely gone at this point because Democrats, the liberals have hijacked everything.

And it took a marketing genius, albeit some may call a not the nicest person in the world. Let's just say that. But basically without him, if Jeb Bush or if even Ron DeSantis were involved,

trying to basically compete with the democratic uh establishment they would get run out of town i don't the only reason this is close is because of trump i i mean i just going back to i just want to go back to uh adam's thing about how how this jump how comble it goes from that to from that to that when you have 98 percent tom would you say the legacy mainstream media like i

the shift from... Because Biden, people were done with Biden. I don't care what Democrats... The cat was out of the bag, so to speak. They've made Kamala look like she is a freaking the savior. But I love when you guys do the stuff that like the tax stuff, which are factual. And I finally, finally, Kamala went to the border. I don't know if you guys saw. Did you see this, Pat? She finally went to the border, but it wasn't to help secure it. It was to campaign. Can we show this video really fast? Look at Kamala. Did you vote?

Look at Kamala. Hey, yes, we are legal to vote. She's campaigning. Oh, will you ask people that you know to vote? She finally went. And will you ask them to vote for me? Yes.

I'm going to vote for Kamala. She finally made it. But here's my question to you. That staggering statistic of all Democrats, is it because Republicans don't want to be in there? Or is it like the hiring process are all Democrats as well? How is that number so lopsided? What, are Republicans, they don't want to go teach? No, they start businesses. Oh, okay. That's what it is. Well, that's what I'm saying. Because that's indoctrination. There's a famous phrase that, you know, those that...

can't do teach. And just think about most of it. And believe me, I love teachers, but

They kind of are Marxists straight up. Because think about it. A lot of these professors, you go to from kindergarten to high school to college, then you go to grad school. And then right after grad school, you get a job working in the, in the university. And from six to 65, all you're doing is you're being in the classroom. You've never built a business. You've never been a part of a corporation. You have no idea what the free market capitalism situation is. You basically start railing against capitalism. You start basically telling kids, you know what? Man,

Maybe communism just hasn't been done the right way yet. Let's try it again.

And there's no one to push back with you in school because you're surrounded by basically a liberal bastion of universities. And no wonder a kid can go from 12th grade being a smart, educated, amazing kid. By the time that they graduate in 2024, they're useful idiots basically doing the gays for gals. So to combat that, the Republicans, the conservatives, they got to start what? Making their own freaking building their own schools, getting their own freaking teachers. I know, you know, what's his name? Jordan.

Jordan Peterson is doing that online thing, which I think is amazing. There has to be an alternative from the other side, because if not, bro, have you seen Charlie Kirk? Have you seen Stephen Carter when they're on these campuses? These freaking kids are cooked. They are all gone. And it's not just a few of them. There's hordes of them that have this ideology. And this explains a lot.

They think that they know everything. And it is, Adam. That's a great freaking tweet. It's indoctrination. It's not education. And it's a lack of logic, too. It's absolute lack of logic. Bill Clinton said in 1992, you know, teachers need a raise. Teachers need more.

You have gone, teachers, be logical about this. You've gone eight elections over 32 years. What have you got from the Democrats in your union? Are you better? Do you have a better career? Do you have the tools to do it? Or are you just sitting in lockstep, just letting the current of the river carry you, and you're just a teacher with a little inner tube, and you're sitting in the current of Democrat thought, and it's just carrying you down the river. And for eight elections, 32 years, 2022,

Teachers deserve a raise. What have you done about it? What have you, I can't do anything about it. So you sit there and get cooked in the pot like the frog. That's how it works. And a lot of them are blue, no matter who. And then look, we're starting to see some of the cracks in the, in the facade over here. What's the guy, the teamsters union said he's not coming out and supporting anyone this year. This is after 30 years of,

of only support. And why did that happen? Why did that happen? I mean, because inside the culture, no, no, no, no, because inside the teamsters, Rob, if you can find the tweet, that's got the, the teamsters for Harris versus teamsters for Biden by state. It's a phenomenal, it's a phenomenal chart. If you can even find it. Well,

Well, it's because inside the Teamsters, over 50 percent of them favored Trump and his business and the things he's offering for business. And the others didn't. There it is. There's the chart. You see this, Pat? Take a look at this. Wisconsin Democrats were 74 percent. Wisconsin Teamsters, to be exact.

Wisconsin, 74% Biden, 15% Trump. When they switch candidates, 41% Harris. She lost 33% of them, and it was 57% Trump. Go down there. In Michigan, it was 58% Biden, 32% Trump. Then they switch candidates. It's 35% Harris, 62% Trump. Pennsylvania, about that even. 43% Biden, 42% Trump. They switch. 30%.

Harris, 65 Trump. We go to Minnesota, big blue

blue minnesota ladies and gentlemen 46 percent were uh biden 26 trump suddenly 37 harris 59 and you want to know why the teamster said yeah as the union we're not going to take sides please get out and vote we will not be endorsing any candidate it's because they don't want to deal with a civil war among their members if the big senior part of it makes a play for a candidate

There you go. Okay, Rob, let's go to the next story here. P. Diddy, okay, is nonstop. More things are coming out with P. Diddy. So I'll read one of the stories and then Vinny, I'm just going to come to you. You can talk about some of the stuff. Sean Diddy Combs placed on suicide watch at New York jail. Sources call it routine. So it's not like a big deal LA time. Nah, just a regular thing. We put guys on suicide watch.

He's in custody right now at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, as he awaits a trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges and was placed on suicide watch by officials. The source said that the suicide was routine. The Metropolitan Detention Center, which was which has house inmates like R. Kelly and Epstein, Epstein's associate, Jelaine Maxwell, has a history of violence and squalid conduct.

Prosecutors unsealed their indictments against Combs on Tuesday. Track charging came with sex traffic and racketeering, a bunch of other things and transportation to engage in prostitution. Uh,

Vinny, I can go to the next one. Diddy as bad as Epstein. As cops recall rooms with hidden cameras on the freak-off. Kim Porter's book comes out. Diddy talks locking women in a freak-off party and resurfers clip. What new things have you found that maybe we should know about? It's not necessarily new, Pat, but it's like just look at this pattern. We've seen it before and everybody, I'm telling you right now,

Everybody in the music industry and everybody in Hollywood knew about this. Okay. There's no, there's no BS thing about it, but I knew about this guy when I was in Hollywood. And there's some other people that I know that have these type of parties. I don't know about the cameras that I would never go to. And I was warned not to go to. Okay. It's not, it's not, it's, it's no secret. Just like, just like Epstein, just like Harvey Weinstein,

And everybody knew. Look at how many videos and everybody praised them. Michelle Obama, Barack, all the videos are surfacing with him and Deeding and all these people. Even Usher, Usher deleted his Twitter account, deleted it, right? Or took everything down. He deleted a bunch of, I think, 7,000 tweets and then came back

A day later, and he put... Me again? Yeah, yeah. He wrote, account got hacked, and damn, y'all ran with it. It's not a secret. I'm tired of everybody playing this game, okay? Actually, read the comments on what people said. Let's see what people said, like if they bought it or not. Okay, yeah. The old... Did he hack your button? The old...

The account got attacked and hacked. That's the first one. Oh, that's security. Keep going, keep going, Robbie. So crazy how it got hacked, but instead of posting crazy stuff, the hacker just deleted your post and Diddy got arrested and all the stuff with Justin Bieber. So weird. We all ran with it. Right, bro? Nobody's buying that, dude. So, Pat, the majority of these, Pink said the same thing. That's the best one. Yeah, but guys,

Pink and somebody else, they deleted their stuff a little while back. But Usher, in his own words on the Howard Stern show, like when I tell you guys, these demons hide in plain sight, like Diddy, he said on Howard Stern, Puffy would have his parents send them to flavor camp

At 13 years old, your parents are sending you to a camp with a grown man, Pat. I know I'm around you all the time. I know you're your kids and you trust me and I love you. Would you ever send your 13? Would you send Tico? Stop it. Are you freaking nuts? I don't care how famous he is. And in this interview, Rob, you don't have to play. He says...

Howard Stern's like, I bet you there was girls and orgies. And he's talking to him as he's 13. He said there was very curious things happened. And then you got a video of Usher and Diddy in his bedroom with Kevin Hart. And he's interviewing him. And he said, I would wake up in the morning with Usher in the morning. And then he catches himself. And it's a moment where they're all laughing and it's all a joke. And I think in my opinion, Pat, one of the ones that affects me the most is Justin Bieber.

This kid, to me, it looks like he has gone through hell. Do you have the Kevin Hart one? Yeah, I sent it to you, Robbie. Yeah, I'm finding it. Okay, go ahead. Which is iPad because he gets caught saying that he would wake up next to him and then he changes it and says we would fight off over the frosted flakes. Even Kevin Hart is uncomfortable because you're admitting that you were sleeping next to a freaking child. And it's like, I'm tired of hearing all these stories. And people just laugh about it. We giggle. This is it right here, Pat.

Go ahead, go ahead, Robbie. That's my brother right here from day one. We used to wake up and... I mean, damn, pause. Look, pause.

I mean, back in the days when he was like 10, I was a little bit older. His older brother, we used to fight over the Frosted Flakes. You know what I'm saying? Before Paws was invented. You know what I'm saying? But it's my brother for real. We used to actually wrestle off of the Frosted Flakes. He used to always get up early. Yo, what the fuck did Puffs just say?

Nobody's putting down just for me. I'm just saying we used to wrestle over the Frosted Flakes and we're streaming live. That was stupid. That was fucking stupid.

And think about it. And back to Justin Bieber. There's videos, and we don't have to show any more videos. There's videos of Justin Bieber as a child with him. As a child. And again, the parents letting him sleep over. Just uncomfortable, awkward moments. You played the song, Pat, this weekend, Lonely, by Justin Bieber. Guys, that song, after everything that this kid's been through, hits so different. It got me emotional in the car. And then look at this.

Look at all the videos. And again, hiding in plain sight. How many videos of Jenny McCarthy at the American Music Awards kissing and making him? He's like, I feel violated. The kid was telling us James Corden sitting there sniffing him like, I love your smell. It's like we all see it. We all seeing happening. And I know we're not going to show the video, Pat, but there's a video out there for the viewers that don't want to watch it. There's a nightclub. There's somebody has a camera. Trey Songz is standing next to Odell Beckham and he sees the camera come and he goes, yo,

Oh, to signal to Odell. And you see Justin Bieber coming up. His head was down in Odell Beckham's crotch. And it's like, I can only imagine, Pat, how difficult it must be for these kids, for an Usher or Bieber to come forward. But I think the best thing that could happen, and I get it. I don't understand because I've never been there. A guy like Usher and a guy like Bieber should...

Tell the tell prosecutors or something what these people did, because if they don't come and tell them, Pat, there's another PPD walking around. There's another person that's going to keep violating these young kids and nothing's going to get done unless people start talking about it. Yeah. I mean, what do you have here, Rob? What clip is this with Kutcher? So this is Ashton Kutcher. He was on the hot ones where you eat chicken wings and are interviewed while you're doing it. And this is him talking about going to parties. Yep. Yep.

Yep. Yeah. That's how it works. Eat the hot wings. Oh, yeah. While you're doing it. Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, we're talking. I thought maybe that's I'm like, that's a crazy interview. If you're doing like, oh, that was your day. It's good. But go ahead. Play the clip. You threw me off, Rob. When you said that, I'm sorry. Go ahead. No. Did he party stories? They're our favorite genre of anecdote. If I really have one. Yeah. Wow. OK, I've got a lot. I can't tell. So, um.

Can't tell that one either. I mean, like actually cycling through them. There was one moment. So it's not really a party story, but our relationship was really bizarre. So it started over punked because he was like, yo, don't you can't punk me. And I was like,

I don't want to tell you everybody's on the table. He's like, not me. I'm off the table. And so that started our conversation. We became fast friends and we used to hang out, watch football together. And he can just go on for a minute. But if you want to hear a more interesting clip, this is Khloe Kardashian on an episode of keeping up with the Kardashians, where she talks about attending Diddy's butt naked party. And she talks about Justin Bieber being in attendance. Here we go. So who was with you this weekend?

- A bunch of my friends. - Diddy, Quincy, Justin Bieber. - So far so good. - Bunch Montana. - Do you even know half the people you're naming? - No. - She didn't go to bed. - I haven't been to bed yet. - You haven't? - I wanna meet Chloe when I grow up, Kory. - I got on a plane at 5:30 a.m. - Mother naked. - To this party. I think half the people there were butt naked. You would've loved it.

And then there's one final clip. This is Diddy talking about locking women in rooms and turning up the temperature at his parties. Look at this. This is an older clip from the 2000s on Conan O'Brien. But my point is, in plain sight, saying what he was. We need alcohols. Right. Alcohols. Right. Not just one alcohol. Alcohols. Right. Just a different blend. You need the ladies. You need the booze. You need some water.

For watering plants? No, no, I don't know if guys have noticed this, like, a lot of ladies drink water at parties. They just, you know, so if you don't have what they need, they're going to leave. Right. Got to keep them there. Right. You need locks on the doors. This is sounding kind of dangerous now. It's a little kinky, but you know. Yeah, yeah. Check it out. You need a lot of heat.

A lot of heat. Heat? You mean physically the place has to be hot? You don't have no air conditioning. No air conditioning. Why is that? Heat affects the alcohol, and it also affects, like, you know, everybody gets a little bit more comfortable and loose. It builds up a nice little sweat.

That just sounds disgusting. Depends on the way you look at it. Oh, people start getting kind of, it gets kind of sexy. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, you sexy. Well, locking girls up, put the air conditioning on. Yeah, well, you know, he's called Black Epstein for a reason. We're going to see what happens here. And it's so funny when you roll the tape and you go back 20 years in the past and you'd be like,

this guy was definitely getting his freak on here, but I'll say this. It's not illegal in America to be a weirdo or a freak or get into some wild stuff. What is illegal is when you take that kink and you actually turn into an absolute monster and become deranged and think that you are a

playing God and that you have the Messiah syndrome or Messiah complex. And you think that you're untouchable. And you talked about this before, Pat, but you know, here's the only difference that I think will hopefully happen versus Epstein. Remember in the movie American Psycho with Christian Bale, every time that he did something wild, he would come out and say, I got to go return some videotapes. Yeah. I got to go. I got to go. Did he?

They got the videotapes. Yeah. They found the tapes. So what we have right now is we need to be able to basically process what's fact, what's fiction, what are allegations, what's rumors, and they're all going to be on the tapes. Yeah. And roll the tapes. Let's see what's going on with Diddy. And there's going to be people out there.

that don't want these tapes to be seen. But Adam, here's my question. How much are they willing to pay for these tapes? Do you actually think we're going to see any of these tapes? Just look at what Epstein, we know, we don't think, we know for a fact that there is a trove of these tapes and people have seen them. Okay? They're out there and they insinuate all, and all these people are on,

Who has the tapes? Does the FBI have them? The FBI has them. Whoever raided this house, Adam, if whatever he did with them. You talk about accountability. If the FBI raided the house and they have tapes and that's what they have, let's make sure that they're not lost. To me, I'm going to a different place. Let me tell you where I'm going. So how many kids and girls you think he's done these things to? How many underage, Pat? I wouldn't put it past them. Maybe 20.

Maybe 20 or more. We're making up numbers at this point. I think when there's smoke, there's fire. They're going to find some stuff. I don't know the number. It could be two. It could be 200. When a kid goes... For example, you watch...

Did you see the Justin Bieber interview with this one guy he did where he's crying? Yes. I don't know. Did you see that? He's talking about Haley and he's like, he's bawling back because he doesn't want that to happen to her. This is the one where he says he was living in shame. If you find this clip and he's interviewing this guy and the guy, the way he's doing the interview makes him feel very comfortable. He's actually doing a great job. I think I have it. This is it where he's actually talking about Billie Eilish, I believe. Billie Eilish. Yeah, my bad.

I want her to know that, you know, she can count on me. But at the end of the day, I don't want to, I'm never going to force myself to be in a relationship with her. It has to be natural, right? So I just kind of, you know, let her do her thing. And if she ever needs me, I'm going to be here for her. But yeah, just protecting those moments because people take for granted encounters. Poor kid. Yeah, so yeah. Yeah.

I just... You believe him? I believe him. I just want to protect her, you know? I don't want her to lose it. I don't want her to, you know, go through anything I went through. I don't wish that upon anybody. Through anything that I went through.

Yeah. If she ever needs me. I can't even look at the camera. I'm just a call away. Okay. Rob, do me a favor. Play the clip. I just sent you. It's him singing, but it's not the music video. It's at a concert. So we may lose our entire AdSense here or whatever for this video. It's fine. If you can play this clip, um, I, I've watched this song. This is what you played. This song came out. Jennifer, she's listening to the show. Babe, I don't remember where we were at. We're listening to the song at midnight.

Okay. The music video. If you haven't seen it, you have to watch the music video because it's him as a kid in front of a mirror. Oh yeah. We played that here. Yeah, but we not played it, but go ahead and play this clip and it's called lonely. Okay, go ahead. Everybody saw me sick and it felt like no one gave a shit. They criticize the things I do.

as an idiot kid. What if you had it all with nobody to call? Nobody to call. Maybe they'd know. Chill. Cause I've had it all with no one to stay. And that's just for I'm so lonely. I've listened to this hundreds of times and I feel for this guy. I feel the pain. Lonely. I'm so lonely.

Now, I'm going to go somewhere with this, Rob. But before I go there, do me a favor, play this other one. Because here, he's closing his eyes, he's performing, and he's praying. You can tell this guy's speaking to God. Tom, if you can play this clip here, as a father, you're going to feel this. Because, you know, play this clip. Go ahead and play this clip if you could, Rob. Watch this.

We'll break into rules right now, but we're going to lose. But it's worth it, huh? No. All these tears I've wept. Look at all the promises that I've kept. I put my all into your hands. And it's so to keep with all I can. You're not hard to. And you bless me. I've ever known. You give me pearls. Every day pearls.

You can pause it right here. You know, when I see this, when I see this and I hear stories like this, there's certain things. So it makes me question the following. So let's let's play along with this. Let's play along with this and and go through the sequencing together. Let's say.

Everything we believe that happened, that Diddy did to him, when he says, I have him in custody for the next 48 hours. And we're doing some things that we can't really be talking about to everybody, right? And he's 15 years old. Okay. And then the next time Diddy runs into him, he says, hey, how come you haven't called me lately? You don't call me back. And I said, well, I've just been busy, but my number changed. I don't have your new number. You can tell Bieber is scared. He's nervous. And then it goes to custody.

A couple months ago when Diddy pulls up to Bieber, Rob, I don't know if you have this, but he's touching his chest to see if he's wired or not. Patting him, he's going like this to if he's wired or not. And you can tell Bieber's looking down. He's trying to tell him. But you know how he's looking at him? He's looking at him as a defeated man because here's a grown man in his 30s doing something to a 15-year-old boy. So then the question I ask is,

How many people would he talk about this with? Like, look at this here. Look at this. That's not it? This is a couple months ago. Go ahead and do this. Look at that. Boom, boom. Head down. Padding, padding, padding. Making sure his chest doesn't have a wire. Yeah. That's Florida, huh, Pat? I think that's Florida. So, if this happens to someone's kid and you know about it, what do you do about it?

Meaning, if I knew that this happened... Say Justin's your son. You find out this happened to your son. What do you do about it? It's a factual thing. He tells you. What do you do about it? Me, dead serious? I'm going to kill P. Diddy. Me, personally? I'm going to go... What? I'm going to jail for the rest of my life. Adam, I'm going to jail for the rest of my life because I'm going to find him and I'm going to kill him with my bare hands. Period. Because, you know, Rob, can you play the clip yesterday? You're saying you don't know about that. Look, um...

you know, Bieber, what role did his parents have in this? It's not like Justin Bieber was five or eight or 10 or 12. You're 15 years old. You know, what's up at 15. You're actually able to drive a car at that point.

You know, you're three years away from being able to serve in the army. So I am not condoning anything whatsoever for anyone under 18. Actually, I think 30 states in this country, you can be 16 years old before that you actually have sex with someone who's over 18. So an adult. But the point is this, you know, it's like the Michael Jackson situation back in the day.

You know, you're dropping off six-year-old kids, 10-year-old kids at Michael Jackson's house. At what point did the parents are like, what are we doing here? So what's the price that you're willing to pay for success? Justin Bieber, arguably one of the best musical artists in the last 10 years. By the way, do you know how old Justin Bieber is now today? 30 years old. He got famous 15 years ago when he was probably before that. Because if you're meeting Diddy, you're probably famous at that point. He's been famous for a decade and a half.

At what point do the parents have to say, Hey, look, we love our kid. We want the best for him. He really wants to go for this music thing. He's up here in Canada and we're going to bring them to Miami to LA and we're gonna give him a shot. Now what happens behind closed doors? That's, you know, Justin Bieber and Diddy knows, but let's not get a twist. The kid's not five years old. He's not 10 years old. You're 15 years old. You're at Diddy's house. Do I believe Justin? Do I believe that song? Lonely, ridiculous song, ridiculous song.

But at the same time, I mean, you kind of got to be able to make decisions on your own. Are you saying at 15, Adam, I'm so confused. Are you saying at 15, he should have responsibility to not let a man molest him and potentially rape him? Well, A, yes, but B, but B,

the parents, where are they here? Why aren't the parents saying anything? The divorce parents? Divorce or not. I get what you're saying, but hear me out. Your son has... What's the price you're willing to pay for success? But here's my thing. There's a chance that if Justin Bieber... That's it right there. If Justin Bieber doesn't go to Diddy's house and go to Diddy's flavor camp, there's a chance 15 years later we never even hear of Justin Bieber. So now he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He's one of the biggest music stars in the world.

And we don't even know what happened at Dean's place. Usher discovered... Hold on a second. Justin Bieber in Canada would sit there, play the guitar, and sing in the middle of the street like those street performers, and Usher found him. And then Usher, it's almost like a grooming circle, Usher brings him to... Allegedly. I said it's almost like a grooming session where he brings him back to the guy that allegedly groomed him. And I... Adam...

I get where you're coming, where the parents are probably like, oh my God, he's getting invited with a friend to go to Diddy's to learn all this stuff. At the end of the day, you can't as a 15, you expect a 15 year old to take responsibility for something. There's a massive difference. I'll say one last thing.

And this is just society. There's a massive difference between a 15 year old boy and a 15 year old girl. If you're a 15 year old boy and you're that kid that somehow has sex with your math teacher, what are all the kids in class say? Bro, that was awesome. It's amazing. You're the coolest kid in school. You do that as a girl. Oh, that guy's getting arrested. It's ridiculous. There is a double standard here. We've seen whether it's Jenny McCarthy, whether it's the Kardashians literally molesting Justin Bieber, nobody even says anything.

Nobody says anything. Imagine doing that to a young Selena Gomez at 15 or a young Miley Cyrus. You'd be in jail. So there's a double standard here for young boys. And maybe Diddy took advantage of it. I don't know. Tom, what are you thinking? You know, here's what I'm thinking. This isn't about Diddy.

This isn't about music. This isn't about Justin Bieber. It is about them because of what's happened to him. You can hear it in his music. You can hear it in his lyric. This is a violated guy who's got a lot of conflict and pain inside his heart. And it's coming out in the amazing art of music that he is so gifted to provide. And my heart literally listens to that and I ache for what Justin Bieber is going through. But that's not what this is about. This isn't about music.

where this happens and it goes back to groupies and things happening. You want to see a funny take on it, if you could call it funny. The movie Almost Famous was Cameron Crowe talking about his life story, what happened to him.

You know, you go back and you look at Hollywood and you've got everybody talking about that. Harvey Weinstein and Les Moonves, they were only the latest of generations of violation that happened. When people chase greed in entertainment, in music, they make compromises. And parents tell their kids when kids would get involved in this, oh, you know what? You don't want to. Look at the gymnast. Remember, the doctor was violated.

And some of the parents said, well, stay away from him, but you don't want to be off the team. It'll ruin your Olympic chance. And they finally, God bless them. They stood up to the National Gymnastics Board and everything about it. This is people chasing greed. And there's a price.

And parents have been enabling it. You know, Vinny, God bless you. You're talking about would you as a parent do it? A lot of parents have looked that in the eye, that monster in the eye, and they said no. They didn't want to blow their kid's chance for fame and they let it go. This is about chasing greed. And the movie Yesterday, which is a very funny movie if you've seen it, about the kid who did all the Beatles songs and no one had heard of the Beatles. It was very, very funny. Do you remember...

Remember when he goes to Malibu, California, and that girl who's the agent says, listen, I'm giving you the opportunity to drink from the poison chalice called everything you want. Do you remember that scene? She's on her beachfront thing. And she says, do you want to take it?

And they made it into a joke. Everybody who understands and knows agents, I do, and people have seen this, know that that's an inside joke. The inside joke is that's the way it goes down. That's exactly the choice they make. They make that choice. And remember what he goes, and it's a

Funny moment. The movie makes it funny. It makes it funny. Yeah, I'll take it. She goes, good. You all do. Yeah. You know, and it goes on. This is what's going on. When parents are putting their kids on the altar of sacrifice called the success you never had, and they make the compromise because they want the kids to have all that. It's really what they want to have. And too few parents have looked it in the eye and said, we're not doing this. Yeah.

I'm not putting you in that cesspool, but you can look at music. You can look at Hollywood. You can look at those little six-year-old kids with all the makeup. They're in these little girl fashion shows and, and, and things are happening there by coaches and agents that are in that. And you can see what's going on when you make the compromise in the name of success. This is the dead end street you end up on. And there are victims on it. It's not the fault of all the kids. It's not the fault of,

the parents, there are people like Justin Beaver that I think were a victim and ended up on this conveyor belt that was just taken straight to hell. That's how I feel about it. And I get pretty revved up about this, but I think people don't look at what is the sacrifice that you will make? What is the things you'll give up for sacrifice rather than having a life with a purpose to go someplace? And the easy path isn't the fun path. The

The easy path sometimes sucks, but you take it in the name of purpose. You take it in the name of making your name worth something at the end of that day, not taking the easy way out and saying, I've got everything. What did he say in that song? I have everything, but no one's listening. I have everything, but no one to talk to. Is that what you want?

Tom, I want to give you a hug right now, brother. I feel you. No, I feel you, Tom. I know you're getting fired up. Get me emotional. Tom, why are you so emotional right now? Seriously, what is it that's firing you up like this? Because the human wreckage that's at the end of this is not worth it. This is not worth it. You know what? Go back and look at what happens to lottery millionaires.

Why do so many of them commit suicide? Because when you have everything and you strip purpose away from a person, you know what you have? You have nothing. You have nothing but your addiction and false friends and your abuse. And then what? And they commit suicide. We also go broke. And I think three to five years, I want to say that's part of the path to suicide.

That's where it goes. And you know what? This is why I'm not a conservative because I don't like Democrats. I'm not a liberal. I'll say liberals. I'm not a conservative that I don't want to give things to people because I think it strips away human dignity and prevents them from someday enjoying democracy.

accomplishment and the personal, solemn, wonderful human pride that comes from saying it wasn't easy, but I did it. And when it's not easy, it's that much sweeter. Yeah. Tom, I love you, man. By the way, let me, let me, thank you for that, Tom. Amazing. Let me, let me say this, you know, think about things that happen in your life to everybody, painful things that happen in your life, right? Okay. Okay.

Think about the top five most painful moments that happened in your life. Okay. Not top 100, not top 50, not top five. As it gets higher and higher, you know what happens, Tom? Okay. You know what happens as you get higher and higher? Okay. As it gets higher and higher in the top five, Tom, fewer people know. That's very true. They don't know the walk you're walking. They don't know the rough path. So it goes like this.

Top 100, yeah, you talk to some people. Top 50, maybe. Top 20, fewer. Top five is very Tom, very, you know, I know the chat, you know, comment is going on, but top five, you get top. And then there's a top one. Yeah. Which one is what? That's people's one. Yeah. And no, typically when it goes 5-3-1, typically only one person knows. And you know who that is?

The man upstairs, if you got faith. This is why living life without a relationship of a God or someone you pray to long term, it is the most lonely life you'll ever live. If you try to live life just all by yourself, the argument for an atheist or whatever it is, it is a miserable life to live because eventually who are you going to talk to about some of the things that's happened to you? FYI.

You know, I have Bill here on, Bill O'Reilly on last week, and we're having a conversation. He says, life's not fair. Life's hard.

You're going to experience everything, right? Life's not going to be fair. You're going to be taken advantage of. You're going to be betrayed. He's telling stories about George Washington. You know George Washington's mom and George Washington, the kind of a relationship they had that no one knows about? It was nasty, right? That's the whole book that he wrote that he talks about all the things that, confronting the presidents of U.S. Everybody that makes it to the highest level

They've all had some kind of a challenging thing they lived. The part that gives me hope with Bieber is,

is the fact that he's doing his best to stay as close to God as possible. Many years ago, he was spending a lot of time with that one band that did a few great songs. Hills, not a Hillsong. Hillsong. What was a Hillsong? But there was also spending time with, I know, I know, I know that. I don't want to go there. Yeah. I'm not going to go there, but Hillsong was a, out of Australia, out of Australia. United. I think, yeah, they were insane. I think they have probably three of the greatest Christian songs ever.

You know, Oceans is Hillsong. You know, Oceans, right? You know, like I Surrender. You know, what a beautiful name. This is them. And then he's hanging out with them and there's a big falling out with them because they started, you know, started turning into party and instead of all that stuff. And then no one invites these guys anymore like they did before. They were the ones that

that everybody would go to these guys' concert. So the fact that he has God in his life and he stays close to that, that's the part that gives me confidence. And Stephen Baldwin's daughter, that is Mahaley, that they're together with, it seems like she is really good for him as he's going through this. Good for them. We wish him nothing but the best.

And for a guy like Diddy to be doing what he's doing, accountability is around the corner because like Cat Williams said, man, you can't get away with this kind of stuff for too long until eventually people realize how abusive you are. Your interview with Stephen Baldwin, Haley Baldwin's father just came out. What? Last week. Okay. Amazing. Over the weekend.

Anything that stood out to you regarding Justin Bieber and Diddy? Well, I kept asking. I asked him a couple of questions about Bieber. He says, honestly, I don't want to go too much into it. Obviously the sensitivities. I said, how's the relationship? How often you guys meet? What was the one you guys first met? He kind of opened up a lot about it. But if I were to count how many times he said Hollywood is evil,

Yeah. I can't tell you how many times he said Hollywood is evil. I watched it, but the first 20, 30 minutes he said it. Hollywood is evil. Rob, how many times he kept saying that? And several different variations. The devil runs Hollywood. Hollywood is evil. I'm a skeptic. Anytime I hear a theory, I'm like, okay, okay. I'm starting to hear that more than ever now. We had our friend Jimmy that came and performed at the event. He's like, no, I saw it with my own eyes. I mean, I'm talking...

satanic stuff. Yeah. Jung... Worshipping, sacrifice stuff. Look, you know, what's the...

The rapper girl these days. Not Cardi B. The other girl. The Spice? Not... Nicki Minaj? Not Nicki. Megan Thee Stallion? No, not her. There's another one. Spice, whatever. The one that just twerks. That's all she does. She's like, I'm the devil. Devil. Doja Cat. Doja Cat. Thank you. She has a line that she basically says, I'd rather be famous. Like, you know, you know,

Whether I need to embrace the devil or not, F it. I'll be famous. Something of that capacity. She's coming out and saying it. Paint the town red. So I don't care. I'll paint the town red. Bitch, I said what I said. I'd rather be famous instead. When your sole goal, this is what Tom was saying, is to be famous and to be loved and to make money. What are you willing to do?

Basically sacrifice. And I'm using sacrifice literally. And often they say in order for you to get what you want, there needs to be a sacrifice. Let's go. Yeah. Let's go to the next story. All right. So Chicago gangbangers face off against newly arrived Venezuelan migrants. City is going to go up in flames. Rob, do you have the video? I think there's a video on this. If you have it, please get ready for it. I'm going to just read the story and we'll go to it. So.

Tyrone Muhammad, a former gangster discipline member, warned that the tensions between Chicago black gangs and newly arrived Venezuelan migrants, including the Thrende Aragua gang, could cause the city to go up in flames. Is this it, Rob? This is. It's a four minute clip, but we could start. Give us a little bit of it. Let's let's watch this.

Gangs in Chicago are angry over the influx of migrants and criminals in their city. They say money that should be going to the African-American community on the South Side

is instead going to what they call non-citizens and warn that turf wars between Chicago's gangs and groups like Venezuela's Tren de Uagua could see Chicago, quote, "go up in flames." Photographer Matt McDermott and I traveled to Chicago's South Side to see what was happening for ourselves

after we heard about a police report last month that the Tren de Oagua gang had taken over an office building there. We spoke to a number of young, hardcore gang members, as well as gang elders who have retired from the life and just regular citizens who are very much part of the community. And they're all furious at the estimated half a billion dollars that's reportedly been funneled toward new migrants in Chicago since 2022.

And they aren't happy either about what they say are Venezuelan criminal gangs that are leaving the shelters and spilling out into the South Side, into abandoned buildings.

I spoke to Tyrone Muhammad of Ex-Cons for Trump, who runs a street patrol and violence prevention program. He's gone straight since his days as an enforcer for the gangster disciples. And he said the situation is very tense on the South Side as turf battles between the local gangs and Venezuelan migrants heat up. It is impossible to release gang members and criminals into our country through the borders and broken walls.

And it's a trait in our community that's already impoverished, that's already broken, that's already disinvested in. When the black gangs, the leadership in the black gangs in Chicago get fed up with the illegalities and the criminal activity of these migrants or non-citizens.

The city of Chicago is going to go up in smoke, it's going to go up in flame, and there's got to be nothing that the National Guard or our government can do about it when the bloodshed hit the streets, blacks against migrants.

Zach Massey did time in state prison with Tyrone Muhammad, although he's only 27. He's a leader on the streets and said he's disgusted by the money going to Venezuelan migrants at the expense, he says, of the African-American community. I finally, like, actually talked to him on the translator app, and he told me all the things that he got going on, how they helped him get a car, apartment, clothes, lane...

So it's just like I just be looking at it like they ain't got no Social Security, you know where they come from. He probably not even here legally. They get right here. They get quick housing, quick funding, food, food and get cars with no license. They can't even read English and stuff like that. So they get all these new parts when they get here. Vinny, what do you think? I think just like how how how many years we've been saying it.

It is an invasion. Okay. I remember Jim Acosta. He was like, Donald Trump, you're talking about these Venezuelans, this migrant, this caravan that's coming. And he goes, you keep calling it an invasion. Why do you keep saying he's like, because I think it is. And this is what you're getting for gang members. Think about it. Gang members in Chicago, one of the toughest, most dangerous places are complaining that

Other gangs are coming in that aren't even supposed to be in the country. And he's right, Pat, that's going to get ugly. It's going to, because mind you, he's saying through the translation app that he's saying like all the stuff that they're doing with the drugs and the taking over apartments and doing this and doing that, it's going to get ugly and it's going to get ugly fast. Well, and these, these are the gang members that God bless them, um, have,

found something to get themselves straight. Some of them have been in prison and they're all talking about building up their community and building a better tomorrow. This is the side of the gangs you're seeing. What you didn't see in this clip is where news people have been able to speak to some of the active gang members that have said that the, um,

Trendy Agua are crazy. They're the Kaiser Sosa of gangs. They are willing to do two things further that you're not willing to do. And this is like the MS-13 of Venezuela. That's exactly correct. And the local gangs that are in prostitution, gambling, and cocaine is a big three with, you know, and cocaine derivatives crack and other things, street drugs and whatnot.

That's what they traffic in. And they're saying that they are, that these guys from Venezuela, they've been in, they're like the major leagues. They're like Olympic level. We're collegiate level gang here. This is like Olympic athlete coming here. Let me read this to you so people realize what the numbers are. The city has spent nearly a half a billion. The city, not the government, not the state. The city has spent nearly a half a billion dollars.

On 42,000 migrants since 2022, with reports of Venezuelan gangs infiltrating neighborhoods, committing crimes, and clashing with entrenched black gangs. So again, let me give the number. In two years, Citi has spent a half a billion dollars. Half a billion? A Citi. Not a state. Not the federal government. Citi has spent a half a billion dollars.

On 42,000 migrants who have been here the last two years. Okay, Pat. Please try to make someone understand. Okay, the border. Open. And they're bringing these people in. There has to be a reason. There has to be a goal from the powers that be, from the government, from Biden, Harris, from Mayorkas, that little rat. What?

They're letting these people come in besides the terrorists and all that crap. The Venezuelan president emptied out the jails. All these people are coming in and they're not doing nothing about it. What's the purpose? What are they? Are they trying to make like a civil war? Are they trying to make it just burn down to where the government has to take over? What, what,

I'm just trying to figure it out. It's not a humanitarian thing. It's not what we feel bad for these freaking poor Venezuelan gangster murderers. What's the point? I'm trying to figure out. And everybody's silent. And we'll put it in perspective. A half a billion dollars over 42,000 people is $1,000 a month, 12 grand.

over two years. So what are they doing? They brought them in here to bring votes to win. This is me. This is BizTalk talking. I believe they brought them in here to bring votes to win the election, but the consequence they're going to get is they're going to lose the country if we don't stop it. Well, this is the reason that Trump is talking about eliminating sanctuary cities. We saw that article, right? During a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, Trump...

intention to eliminate all sanctuary cities across the United States. Is he elected again? Yeah, you have that? Want to play that real quick? I'm announcing a new plan to end all sanctuary cities in North Carolina and all across our country. No more sanctuary cities.

Uncle Sam, do you agree? Uncle Sam agrees. I had a feeling you would. You can pause the right thing. The thing with these sanctuary cities is he basically said they're primarily democratically run cities and they claim that they harbor...

and stating that he would ask Congress to pass a law outlawing them nationwide. I mean, here's the, I guess the question that I have is, you know, Pat, your four virtues that you practice with the family, love, lead, respect, the one that you eliminated was tolerance. And I think about that all the time, like, where tolerance, I mean, and I totally understand why it's something you're maybe not comfortable with anymore, because at what point does tolerance become taking advantage of? What do I mean?

Our country is just becoming way more tolerant. Let everybody in. Hey, okay, great. We've seen our churches become way more tolerant. They're not necessarily doing that in Islam. Say what you want about that. Judaism, that's a whole nother conversation.

little tolerant of anything, our companies, our corporations, everything basically pandering to the woke mob. At what point does tolerance basically say, screw the tolerance. We need to have some standards here. And, you know, Trump during his speech, when he went, the one, the big one after at the RNC, after he got shot and he basically crushed it for the first 20 minutes. And then he went,

just at every different angle for the next hour and a half. Do you remember when he called out a certain sitting president of a certain Latin American country that basically gets a lot of praise these days? Bukele. From El Salvador. I don't think he mentioned him by name, but he was talking point blank about Naeem Bukele. He's like, why is it that someone like in El Salvador really quickly just turned his whole country around? All right, you might say it's the policies. You might say it's, you know, new leadership. Or maybe they're not sending their best and brightest here

here to America. So whether it's El Salvador with MS-13, whether it's Venezuela with what's going on over here, yeah, I'm sure there's some good people, fine people coming. Rob, I just sent you something for you to look up. But the reality is there's gang members, there's people leaving prisons, they're coming to our country. And how much of this are we going to take? Last point, look, to my African-American friends, black friends in Chicago, this is what happens when you're

Living on the welfare state. When you're relying on the government to pay your bills and to keep you afloat and you're not doing it on your own and you're basically part of the welfare state, what happens is the welfare state's going to control where they want to put the money and all of a sudden they're prioritizing immigrants and newcomers instead of citizens. It's kind of on you. Let me show this. So this is a website showing states ranked by how strict their gun laws are. Okay? Chicago.

Most of the time, top three homicide, uh, you know, every weekend drive by a massive top 10 cities in homicide in us. If I pull up that report, you would see LA and Chicago and highest murder rates in us in 2024 by city. Uh, St. Louis is one Baltimore, uh,

Then you have New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland, Vegas, Kansas City, Memphis, Newark, and then it's Chicago. So Chicago's in the top 10, but it's normally competing there all the time, right? If you want to go back to the chart I was showing you. So you would assume if things are so bad in the state of Illinois, maybe allow good citizens without background issues, felonies, misdemeanors, allow them to carry guns, right?

Like open carry, so I can go around saying, hey, I know everybody's got a gun here. Look at the laws. Keep going lower. Let's see what the state laws are. So blue, if you look at the bottom right so they can see what blue and red means, right there. So if you can go right there, zoom in a little bit at the top, Rob. Go a little bit higher, a little bit higher, a little bit higher. No, higher, higher, Rob. Right there. So number of guns...

Rob's buying scopes. Number of gun safety policies adopted. Red, fewer, blue, a ton. Look at California and Illinois. Look at California and Illinois. Weird. As blue as they can be, meaning any policy they send their way, give it to us. Now, look at Idaho, how red it is. You know what Idaho is so red? They're at four. Illinois is at 42. Okay.

Okay. Idaho's open carry. You know, it's one of the safest States in America. I don't meaning there's a high likelihood. If you go to a restaurant guns, half the people in the room are probably carrying. Okay. So Idaho's at four. Can we zoom in a little bit to see what different States are just to actually get the numbers. So Illinois is 42, Indiana's 10, Missouri's eight, Minnesota's 24, Wisconsin, New York, New York's 42, Florida, 17, Georgia's four, Mississippi three, Arkansas four,

South Dakota, five. Wyoming, four. Montana, four. So California, 45. Is California at the top? It is, right? California's at the top. Yes, Connecticut's got 41. New York's got 42. Jersey's got 40. And then you got California with 45. So what if now, here's a extreme policy for Illinois to consider.

What if somebody runs on a very basic policy? Listen, with everybody coming in, they're not afraid of you because they have guns illegally. The legal people who follow the laws that we have in the state are

we're going to allow you to carry moving forward. Right now, I think their background check in Illinois is 72 hours. Like, I think it takes 72 hours until you can, so you can go buy one, you can't touch it for about 72 hours. I think California was four weeks or two. It was a while. Like, if you bought something. 10 day, the waiting period? I don't know what the waiting period was. Was it 10 days? I want to say almost a month.

It was either 10 or a month. They just want to make sure you're not buying it to go kill somebody that day. Let's see what is California's waiting period. Is it 10 days from 10 to 30 to pick up your firearm? Yeah. So that's what I think. Because mine, it took me 30 days. I'm like, okay, I can't pick it up for 30 days now. I'm like, okay, cool. So I got to wait for it. But what if they change that for Illinois fairly quickly? By the way, how many people in Illinois you think would be for it?

Listen, with all the stuff that's going on, man, we may want to actually entertain this. I think a lot. I think a lot. Because now the problem is how many thousands of them are in Chicago now, this Venezuelan gang? Now what? How are you going to combat these guys? Because they're armed. They're not having a problem getting these guns in these gun-free zones. Now who's going to come in? The only possible explanation or reason is you're going to have to have the National Guard come in there, Pat, because these are gangs. And you guys called it the Kaiser Associates of Gangs. Even Humberto was telling me about these guys. They're freaking...

Killing for them is nothing. They don't care. So how are you going to fix the situation? You got to fight fire with fire. I agree. Last story before we wrap up, and I'm going to tee it off with you. This guy named Macklemore declares F America to cheers at Seattle concert benefiting UN agency with alleged Hamas ties. Rob, can you play this clip? Go ahead. Yeah, fuck America. The cheers. Look.

I just want to say one thing real quick. I just want to say one thing. This, someone asked me, you know, a couple, a couple hours ago back here, like, you know, how did, you know, how did you, how did you get involved in the movement? And I didn't know before. I didn't know. I didn't know. And we were on tour and October 7th happens and I start paying attention and I start, I started learning. I started listening. I start, I start going back and

And learning the history and this issue that was deemed so complicated. Oh, that's complicated. You don't want to go there. No, it's actually not that complicated. Oh, really? You can Macklemore, the white rapper. Go ahead. Let me. OK, I don't have a lot to say, but and I'm not going to cuss because, you know, I've changed my life. But F you, Macklemore, what your trashy ass music. This guy has made millions.

millions and millions in the best country in the world, touring, selling records, shirts, merch, in this amazing freaking country that we, this country let you get to, and you're going to go on stage and say, F America, because you don't like a situation that's happening in the world. As if we haven't had multiple...

problems that this country has had. I am sick and tired of people like this. Oh, if Trump wins, I'm going to move. And as if anybody gives a shit, nobody is listening to your music. And even the people in the audience cheering and clapping, it wasn't like a great standing ovation of, of applause, but the, the, the level of, of animosity and hate towards this country, I'm just fed up with the pack. I can't even, it just drives me nuts. I just, I forgot, but wait, I, I,

I didn't even know he still lived here. That's how much I can give two shits about Macklemore. Period. The problem is not that he's made millions on it. The problem is that so many young Americans have reached into their pocket to give it to him. Great point. Adam's a huge Macklemore fan. I thought you were going to pop some tags because he only has $20 in his pocket.

I thought that's what you were going to do. What was that song where he's like, hey, when I was a kid, I thought I was gay. What was that? Remember that lyric? Remember that one, Rob? I didn't listen to that one. What was the lyric? Hey, when I was a kid, I thought I was gay. He's horrible. Like, he's horrible. Listen, for those, go ahead. Give it to us. Tell us, Mack. I'm going to give it to you. Take that. Take that. Look, Mack, I've talked about this before. The very strange thing

sort of bewildering relationship between the Islamist jihadist extremist right and

and the woke left progressive agenda. You would think that it's completely conflicting ideology, but this actually was sort of the premise of what happened in 1979, the revolution. It was the two-day party in Iran. There was a communist party that basically helped bring in the Ayatollah to Iran. I mean, am I saying that accurately, PBD? So this, it's sort of, and I sent you this video, it was sort of,

um, a by-product of Russian propaganda, because that's where Marxism and communism and, um,

This extremism sort of came from, but basically it sort of hijacked the Islamist movement in 1979. So what's happened is there's been a slow burn here in the United States where we talked about earlier that what percentage of universities are liberal professors versus ridiculous. So, I mean, whether whether it's the music industry, whether it's Hollywood, whether it's universities, whether it's media, they've all gone so far left and the left hasn't just gone a little bit left. They've gone woke, crazy, progressive, conservative.

insane left. And they've gone so far left that there are many almost back to the right. They're Marxists. They're the Marxists. And so the gaze for Gaza brigade, which Macklemore and his thrift shop mentality from 2012 is still basically basking in. It's not supposed to make sense.

It's not like, okay, cool. You did the math. Macklemore, the random white rapper from Seattle. He figured out the Middle East geopolitics. He did it. Macklemore did it in between shopping at the thrift store and popping some tags with Ryan Lewis back in the day. You did it. But basically he's pandering to his woke left progressive base. And this is why you see on campuses, the woke left progressive white kids praying five times a day to Allah and converting to

So if you were basically struggling and grappling with why this would make sense, you're never going to find out the answer because it's deeply useful idiots basically taking over the mantle of Islamists here in the United States.

There you have it. Wise words from our Adam Sosnick. But it came back to you, PBD79. That's right. Okay. All good. Thank you for that. Two-day party. You didn't think they were getting a shout-out today. We're on the same page. And Macklemore's shouting, F America. Only in America. Now I'm fired up here. I'm going to pull a Tom right now. Only in America can you get on a microphone and be like, yo, fuck this country. The one that we're in. Yeah. The one.

one that we're all living in and lucky to be in that people are literally fleeing the rest of the world to come in by the way yeah f this country by the way almost 200 other countries pick one hand me your passport listen we'll get you a first class ticket anywhere you want to go this is why this is why we want to confuse all of these people that are losing their minds and saying stuff like f america to combat that and compete against it the way you do it is give the opposite energy to it

This is why we want a million people to wear the gear. Future looks bright with the American flag next to it and the value team, a logo. Okay. If you love America. Okay. And if you believe future looks bright and you support this brand value team, which represents capitalism, entrepreneurs, free thinkers, family, core values, those things that you watch this content for, okay.

Go represent this gear. On November 5th, we're going to do something. By the way, the hats, the shirts, the gears, the hats are being ordered left and right right now, both the white and the red. This is brand spanking new merch drop that we just had right now. Don't be the person coming back to us in two weeks saying, hey, can we get these things or not? It's out there for you to order. Go place your order. Link will be below. When we have our party on November 5th,

The way to come in, aside from buying the ticket, we want a million people to wear the Valuetainment future looks, bright gear, go represent it, wear it at work, wear it at church, wear it at the gym, and see how many other people will come up to you and say, hey, man, me too. You too? Me too. Me too. You too? Yeah, me too, man. What do you do? Let's exchange information. That's exactly what's happening with Valuetainment. The right people are founding each other. We love you. We appreciate your support.
