30 seconds.

00:00:01

Did you ever think you were making, I feel I'm supposed, like a tasteful victory.

00:00:07

I know this life meant for me.

00:00:11

Why would you bet on Goliath when we got bet, David? Valuetainment.

00:00:15

Giving values contagious.

00:00:16

This world of entrepreneurs, we can't. No value. They hate it. I run, homie.

00:00:20

Look what I become.

00:00:21

I'm the one. Okay, so I got some news for you today, by the way. I don't think we've ever started a podcast as early as we just did today.

00:00:31

We did it, guys.

00:00:31

The fact 859. We're excited to get started with you guys. For some of you guys that are late, we got a lot of stories to cover. I don't know if you've heard or not. President Trump said on milk boys to Kyle that he's going on Rogan. And a story came out yesterday that Kamala is considering going on Rogan. According to Reuters, which will definitely talk about that, Boeing is letting go of 17,000 people, 10% of their workforce. Starbucks is dealing with some trouble here, folks. Get ready to pay more for your starbucks. This, by the way, the problem here is Starbucks is going up. Coffee on the other side. I got a story that says 450 711s are shutting down.

00:01:15

What?

00:01:15

So even if you're like, well, I'm gonna leave Starbucks to go to 711. They're probably shutting down anyway. So where are you gonna go on a maybe Dunkin donuts? What do you coffee drinking people go to? Right.

00:01:26

Where will Abu work?

00:01:28

All right, Tom, Tom, Tom. But next story, it's an inside joke for us. Iran has hit a list of, has a list of hit list former Trump aides. The US is scrambling to protect them. Rob found a great clip from stage that Trump was talking about Iranians that he found. Incredible. Rob, that clip that you have. And we got a few other things here. Trump's tax cuts that you've had, folks. All the billionaires that are watching this, all the 17 million of you that are billionaires, according to Kamala, which, by the way, isn't funny that they say they're going to tax billionaires. But Kamala has more billionaires supporting her than billionaires supporting Trump. So if, if Trump's for the rich, why are billionaires supporting? Is it because they're now noble and they want to, for their, for the.

00:02:14

Small guys, it could be that it could outweigh, does that outweigh what Elon said, that a lot of these billionaires were Epstein's?

00:02:19

Not your language.

00:02:22

She's the puppet and they're the puppeteers.

00:02:25

Don't buy into this tapped up theories you read about when you watch this channels like the fox.

00:02:29

Tom got a buzz cut.

00:02:30

So Trump's tough right now. Trump's tax cuts could expire this year. We'll talk about that. Obama tells black men it's not acceptable to sit out this election. I mean, the level of scolding and lecturing he did was monumental. I'm sure it worked and they loved him for it, but we'll talk about that as well. Economy under Trump versus Biden, SNL is doing a bunch of different political family feud sues Virginia over order removing illegal migrants from voter rolls. Let me tell you, it may not make sense on what I just read to you. I'm going to read it to you later on and Tom's going to give you a reaction. You're going to sit there and say there's no way this story is true. It's a true story. I told you about 711. Heartbreaking. And by the way, to me, you have to realize I actually am a fan of 711, okay? And I've been a customer for 711 since I was twelve years old. Been back in the days the 711 in Glendale off of Chevy Chase and Broadway had street fighter and had Mortal Kombat in 711. Mortal Kombat, it was like Ryu and Cannon.

00:03:34

We want to make sure these guys.

00:03:35

Did this video when you were eating a hot dog at 711 in Vivek. I think Vivek literally responded. Thank you for coming, Eric.

00:03:44

He did. So maybe he's going to be hurt by the story, but anyways, TikTok can become addictive after just 35 minutes, uncovered documents claim America's new millionaire class ready plumbers and h vac entrepreneurs SpaceX, successfully catch a starship booster. We have to react to that. I mean, that, that that was absent. While this guy's having twelve kids, while he's running all these businesses, while he's campaigning for Trump, this guy had time to get a starship to come back. We'll address that. Trump proposes Musk as Cusden cutting secretary. Okay, as cost cutting secretary. And a couple stories came in the middle, which is kamala delivers new baffling ward salad involving consolations. Rob has that clip. Bill Clinton blames Biden administration for not vetting Lincoln Riley's alleged murder, which we'll talk about while stomping on Harris in Georgia. Trump urges appeal judges to move a hush money case to federal court. And then a couple stories, which New York Times to Bezos backed AI startup. Stop using our stuff. Google. A bunch of these guys that are liberal folks, Google are now backing new nuclear plants to power AI. Actual nuclear plants to power AI and used Ev's right now are for sale, putting owners and dealers in a bind.

00:05:08

And at the end of the cheap burger from Bloomberg, and I'll give you this last story here. TD bank pleads guilty in money laundering case, will pay you 3 billion. Will pay $3 billion in penalties. That's a CNBC story, by the way. Before we go into all these stories that we got to cover, something's happening. So I don't know if you feel or not something's happening and I'll let you know what's happening, but stay tuned for something's happening. I will tell you, for those of you guys that are coming to the election night party, couple of the ticket tiers are about to sell out. We've sold almost 1000 tickets. They're moving left and right. People are picking it up. We're excited about having you guys that night. But here's what I wanted to share with you today, which is the big news. This is the big news. I have all these polos. I buy all these brand Brioni. You know, you go buy this Ferragamo I want to go buy. And then a week later, I take it to the dry cleaners. Boom. The collar goes lace like this. I can't stand it. I'm paying seven, $800 for this stuff.

00:06:01

So I go to Yankees game. We're at the box upstairs. I see this Yankee shirt. I am like, this is sick. I'm not even kidding with you. We bought three of them. The reason why we bought three of them, because one of them, I sat on a candle, it burned. I don't want to get into that story. I have to buy two more. But I'm telling you too much story. I came back and I said, I want this. And I went to Chris and I went to Ben. I said, guys, I want this, except for valuetainment. And I want the callers to stay like this. I don't want it to come down. So guess what we have now. These sold out at the vault conference. Within seconds, they sold out. They're now here. The future looks bright. Polo, high quality, all custom. By the way, valuetainment logo on the back of it. It says, future looks bright. We have different colors. Rob, if you're on it right now, we have the black, the gray, the blue. You pick and choose different size. The material, it's like air. It's like air. Just look how it dances.

00:06:54

Watch this.

00:06:55

The dancing.

00:06:56

Watch this. Here. I wear these three times a day. The only reason I'm wearing this city is because I'm doing a video ad later on. But if you are somebody that loves value to me, you sport our gear and you want to go out there and wear it at work and you want to look professional. Gordon, the latest future looks bright. Polar that came in, by the way. This will sell out in absolutely no time. And then you're going to be left having to order a site's medium while you're an extra large medium. And it's not going to be a good look because that's what Adam does. Adam always goes looking for medium, but it is what it is, actually.

00:07:27

Brandon, pad, come on.

00:07:28

We're going to put the links below. Don't ever talk about Brandon like that again.

00:07:31

Let's go, Brandon. What do you mean?

00:07:32

So, so anyways, links going to be below. Go do your thing. Place the order. With that being said, let's get into, right into the stories.

00:07:39

It's great to have your voice back.

00:07:41

Oh, you were doing the. Where is he? You're telling me. It's, it's. I'm very happy. I'm very happy to have Vinny.

00:07:46

Great to see your man bun.

00:07:48

I say we start off.

00:07:49

Your voice is like 87 half percent.

00:07:51

I say we start. I'm glad you guys are complimenting each other and floating, but let's get right into the story. The story I want to start off with, because I think it's such a warm, fuzzy story, is Barack Obama telling black men it's not acceptable to sit out the election and in my life. And maybe you've experienced this before as well. Maybe you have the experience of somebody lecturing you or scolding you or telling you what to do as if you're a little boy and you're 40 years old. You're 30 years old. And here's an example of that happening. And he's sitting there chewing out upset with Black Mendez. And we have a couple clips reacting by black men on how Obama treated and spoke to young black men. Go to black men. Go ahead, Rob, play this clip.

00:08:40

And you're thinking about sitting out.

00:08:50

But, you know, cousin Putin might be. And you're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses. I've got a problem with that. Yeah, because, because part of it makes me think I'm speaking to men directly. Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president.

00:09:21

Oh, that's what. That's what it is.

00:09:24

So you must be bad.

00:09:26

It's. Listen, you have to vote like that. You know how disrespectful that is to, like, just a regular. Like, just an african american person.

00:09:33

That's.

00:09:33

First of all, again, I've said this multiple times. She's not african american. She's jamaican and indian. Let's put that to the side. But, Pat, to basically tell them. Cause they know that they're not getting the mail vote. This is pleading like, hey, like, it's your duty. Like, you have to. As if they're not seeing what's happening to the country. As if they're not seeing illegals getting brought in here, taking everything that's going to the. I mean, like, I don't understand, Tom.

00:09:57

Well, it's condescending because you're speaking to people as if you are entitled. Obama's speaking to them like, hey, we the Democrats, we're entitled to your vote. We are entitled. And so, you know, Obama there sounds kind of. Kind of like a annoyed father. And these people are going, wait a minute, man. I'm just. We may sit this out or we may vote for what we. What we think. He should be getting down to the room a bit instead of, oh, maybe you haven't got your head around having a woman vice president, so maybe the problem is you.

00:10:29

Yeah.

00:10:29

And by the way, he started the campaign when he went and spoke at DNC saying, this is not the campaign of scolding each other. This is not the campaign of lecturing each other. Let's be supportive. And then all of a sudden, he's like, oh, shit, we're behind the eight ball. No, guys, let's bring out the scolding and the lecturing and making people feel bad about it. And by the way, Rob, if you want to play this game, here's some people just reacting to him, and, you know, let's see what they have to say to Barack. Go ahead, Rob. Hey, Barack Obama, as a black man, this must be sad, man, fuck you. Fuck Kamala Harrison, and fuck the democratic party. We won't for Trump, bruh. This message is for Barack. Ain't never did a fuck ass thing for niggas in eight years he was in a white House, ever. Obama, why'd you play this? Keep black men's name out your motherfucking mouth?

00:11:15

Damn, he can't even talk, man, if.

00:11:16

You don't sit your biscuit head ass down somewhere looking motherfucking like slender man looking motherfucking ass like anybody trying to listen to you, bro. You didn't get the memo? The community ain't fucking with you, dog. We ain't fucking with you. We ain't got two words for you. Yes, we do. High and by, we are not fucking with you, bo.

00:11:36

So they sent Obama to come get us, to bring us back to the democratic plantation. He didn't send Obama back to come get us.

00:11:47

He insulted us.

00:11:48

He said, yeah, he insult. I was highly offended when he said.

00:11:52

The only reason we voting for Donald Trump is because we don't want a woman in president. So we come up with, yo, nigga, shut up.

00:12:02

Shut up. You can pause.

00:12:03

Democrats. Can I respond to this?

00:12:05

Go ahead.

00:12:06

I've seen a lot of these videos. The best part was when black guy goes, oh, so kamala can marry a white man, but I have to vote for a black man. That's how this worked. Like, I was like, that's actually a great point right there. So this is the biggest problem that I have with the democratic party right now. And it comes down to two words, identity politics. Imagine if Trump went out there and was like, oh, you're white. If you don't vote for me, sir, then you're not white.

00:12:30

You're not jewish.

00:12:31

Yeah. Or Bernie Sanders. You don't vote for Bernie Sanders. You're not jewish. This is the problem with politics. It's identity politics. Bullshit is that you're putting put in a box and this is how you have to vote. Sorry, you don't have to do anything.

00:12:46

Let me tell you what vote what actually serves you. Let me tell you what's the worst thing that happens. So I've been in this business of insurance and driving salespeople for a long time. You know what's the worst thing is when a guy who, when he was in the game, engaged, driving, gained credibility, whenever he would have the mic, everybody would be just listening to everything he has to say. And then he lost everybody because it was all about him and it was all about his own stuff. And then he goes and comes back two, three years later, and he's on the mic speaking. And guess who listens to him? Nobody. It's one of the worst things that happens to someone where you're looking at the reaction you used to get three years ago and you're no longer getting. Barack Obama no longer has the magic he used to have. He is no longer magic Mike, magic Obama.

00:13:40

And you know what?

00:13:40

He is officially now down to, I hate to say it, annoying Obama. Not, not in a way where, by the way, I'd sit down and have a conversation with the guy. And I'm sure he's a fun guy to talk to. With sports, of course, I'm sure you'd have a, he's probably a troll or fun guy's guy when the cameras are not on. But he no longer that influence that he used to have with this in 2004 and 2008 and 2012, it is gone. It's almost like if now he's coming and he is now trying to save Kamala, watch what happens. Do you remember when they used to say, well, look at all the candidates that Trump endorsed for the midterms. He no longer has, the weight he no longer carries that no one wants him to endorse anymore is they don't want Trump's endorsement because it actually hurts him. Well, guess what? All those people that gaslit, those folks, that's now happening to your Jesus, black Jesus, which is your Obama for a lot of people in the mainstream media that look at him like that, and he no longer carries the shtick he once used to have.

00:14:43

He's just no longer that guy. I commented on one of his posts the other day and it was like, boom, you know, nonstop messaging coming back. And I told, I said, I said, I said, first of all, Kamala is not who you were in zero eight, period. Kamala is not who you were in twelve. First of all, he is not who he was in 0408 or twelve. He's just not. I said, Kamala is the worst candidate you guys have ever chosen. And by the way, these guys had a shot at choosing Shapiro, Josh Shapiro as a VP. These guys had a shot at picking Pritzker to go up against Trump to say he's a billionaire as a VP. They could have chosen Newsom as a VP. All more qualified. But no, they go after waltz. And by the way, here's what's crazy. Here's what's crazy. This is the craziest part. Barack Obama, respectfully, because I know you're a strategic guy and you're one of the greatest politicians that left us out in many, many years. Here's, respectfully, you know, she's not even a number one draft pick. You know, if there was a primary and if Biden would have said nine months ago or twelve months ago, he's not seeking reelection and there actually was a primary, if Kamala's on stage with Josh Shapiro, with Newsom, with Pritzker, with Whitmer, she may end up last place probably.

00:15:58

So not even sitting there picking Tim wall. It's like, can you once.

00:16:03

Yeah, your Josh, you do come in last.

00:16:05

You're Josh Shapiro. Like, dude, you picking me as a VP? I would whoop your ass on the state. Newsom. No, no, no. I'm not interested in being your vp. I'm willing to bet Newsom and Pritzker actually said, we don't want to be the VP nominees. I'm convinced Newsom didn't want that. And she picks a waltz. But the disappointing thing is that he just doesn't have the credibility anymore. And who is now, who are the Democrats going to go to? Yesterday, I got a call yesterday from a guy from Vanity Fair, and he's asking me about somebody and he's asking me question about all these guys. So how do you feel about the fact that. And it was a fair guy and we'll see how he's gonna write the paper when the article comes out. He says, how do you feel about the fact that Trump's going on? You know, now he's saying he's going on, potentially going on Rogan. He was on Friedman, he was on Schultz, he was on all the stuff. Theo crushed it with Theo, you know, Nelk, boysenhe. How do you feel about all this stuff that he's doing now? I said, oh, you're asking it like, is that something wrong?

00:17:03

No, no, I'm just curious. I said, how do you feel that she's going on Colbert. She's going on Howard Stern, Stern View. Call everybody in May. Taylor Swift endorses this person. Listen, JJ, how do you feel about all those endorsements? How do you feel about that? And the reality is the following. The new era of politics. This is the last season that all of those celebrity rappers, hip hop musicians endorsing you in the mainstream. This is the last year that that strategy is going to be the number one strategy. It can be a top five strategy. It is going to have no, wait, like it did 20 years ago in 2028. It's not going to 2020. Moving forward. The entire thing is done. The entire thing is done. You know, the whole conversation right now, Rob, if you can pull up the clip, the fact that Joe Rogan is now entertaining having Trump on. Right. Is this not, not, I'm sorry, the other way around. Trump and Rogan spoke. Yeah. Is this the one that, which clip is this?

00:18:04

Ro, this was your original appearance on.

00:18:07

I love this one. Pat was there.

00:18:14

So when you're having Trump on.

00:18:16

I don't know.

00:18:17

Okay.

00:18:18

I don't know. It's like you got something? Maybe. Okay, good. That's good. I think that's at a certain point.

00:18:25

In time, it's just like.

00:18:29

It would be interesting to hear his perspective on.

00:18:31

A lot of things.

00:18:32

I would like to know, what is.

00:18:33

It like when you actually get into office?

00:18:35

I would like to know things like, what is it like versus perception? Yeah.

00:18:39

What is it actually like when you.

00:18:41

Get in that building?

00:18:42

Like, what. What are you greeted with? When do you know that people are fucking with you, by the way? You can't. When do you know, FYI. And I. And I told him this, I said, just so you know, if you don't think you need to be sitting down with Trump, the episode that I sold you to the best of my abilities, where he thought I'm like, don't even go live with the video that you and I spoke about, you interviewing Trump. I said, you know what number it was? I said, go look at it. You know what number was? It was episode 2016. No, go do this, Rob. Type in. Go to Spotify. Type in bed David and be David and Rogan. Okay. Let's see if it comes up. Okay, then maybe just go. You have. Well, can you put bed David together? Because that looks like. Just put bed David together. Yeah. Don't put a space. Go there. Okay. Then just take that and go to Google. Maybe it's harder on Spotify. Search engine doesn't work. Go put it on Google and type in. Go to images. Yes. Go to images. Good images, Rob.

00:19:48

That's the first one we did. What number. Look at that.

00:19:52

2016.

00:19:54

What are the chances of the episode that we talk about Trump? Sometimes God's going to whisper to you in the most unique way. He's going to say, hey, boom, this is episode 2016.

00:20:03

Wow.

00:20:04

You got to talk to this guy. So now Trump is being asked on Rob, if I'm not mistaken, on Nelk boys, which, by the way, Kyle. Kyle's going to do something. This guy. He's got something very attractive about himself, their crew, steiny, all these guys. I just like these guys. Go on and play this clip.

00:20:19

You're doing a lot of podcasts recently.

00:20:21

One that I would love to see.

00:20:22

You on is I think Joe Rogan.

00:20:24

Has to have you on.

00:20:25

Yeah. Yeah.

00:20:26

Would you do that?

00:20:27

Oh, sure, I would. I think Joe, like, besides us, Joe, I think I'm doing it. Yeah. Yeah. So you are going to do Joe Rogan?

00:20:35

Joe Rogan's the best in the game, for sure.

00:20:36

And I think, yeah, you know, did.

00:20:39

Become so well known because of the UFC and he does a great job with that.

00:20:43

Right.

00:20:44

What was it that made you the best during COVID You know, he was.

00:20:48

Very outspoken on all the corruption going on during COVID And I think that's personally when I started watching him a lot too, and just.

00:20:55

He's an honest guy too, right? He is. So I think guy, good guy. And I think you guys together would just get a good voice.

00:21:01

That's important. Yeah, you're doing a lot of podcasts.

00:21:04

He said UFC too. He's like the UFC.

00:21:06

He's so, by the way, if it happens, don't you owe these guys money?

00:21:11

Yeah, no, I'll own video money. I owe.

00:21:14

Listen, let's just clarify quickly.

00:21:17

Paid his debt.

00:21:19

Debts are going to be paid. Listen to me, listen to me.

00:21:22

We're going to turn this into a job.

00:21:23

All debts are going to be paid on the election day of. In front of everybody.

00:21:28

Okay, whoever it is, you know, is everyone okay with you have the tally mine?

00:21:32

I would actually like okay to give you $500. Cuz I would like to see that.

00:21:36

That'S where you're wrong. 600 because it's okay this one, by the way.

00:21:40

But what was the bet? The bet was he said it will never happen.

00:21:43

You said it was gonna happen. 500 that it's. I said it's gonna happen. And then I bet 100.

00:21:47

He wanted to do more.

00:21:49

Biden was gonna be the presidential nominee to make money.

00:21:52

You know, Adam, it's funny. The American in you knows you owe me $1,000 and you admit it. The jewish guy in you won't let you pay it. So I'm just kind of wishing that.

00:22:01

Maybe you always count on Tom for a nice jewish show. Thank you, buddy. But I remember being in the Joe Rogan experience when Path Vinnie, you'll remember this. Yeah, you were there. You were nice enough to take Vinnie and I on this trip. You're sitting you. Joe gave us this awesome tour of this ridiculous studio with the shooting and the thing and the workout and the big american flag. And then all of a sudden Joe goes, let's go, Pat, you go in that room. And Vinnie and I are sitting there with this security team, basically like three Navy SeaLs, green berets, absolute studs. And we're sitting there and Pat, we hear him go, someone, you're gonna have Rogan on. And everyone just. What are you gonna have Trump on? Sorry to Rogen. When you gonna have Trump on? Everyone's like, what? What's going on here? If the guys were all in because they've seen so many conversations. They've seen so many interesting people come in and out. This was a situation. They were like, whoa, now they're engaged. We're engaged. Joe Rogan was like, well, did he put you up to this? What was that?

00:23:00

Yeah, that was funny, because early August, so almost little over a year earlier.

00:23:04

I don't know when it was.

00:23:05

It was August 2, 2023.

00:23:07

Okay, so there you go. Well, anyways, I can tell you, I can't wait for it, and I'm looking forward to watching it, them two together. I think it's going to be a very unique conversation. Yesterday we had Graham Hancock here, who just flew in from Austin, and great name. I told him he's got a Hollywood name, and he said, joe is one of the greatest conversationalists of all time. And I think it's, it's absolutely hard to disagree with that. This guy's one of a kind. And you can have 20 different people. There's certain people in the marketplace that you know how they're going to interview. You just know how they're going to interview. It's like, okay, that's a chat GBT interview. That's an interview that's going to be silly. This is an interview that's going to be lightweight. Then you're going to be like, I'm looking forward to Trump talking to him. I'm looking forward to him talking to him. And I'm looking forward to him talking to Joe. I can't wait to see that conversation take place, which is going to be exciting. We'll be all too chances at this.

00:24:05

Point that it's happening. What are the odds?

00:24:07

Him and, him and Joe Trump and, oh, let me, let me, let me. No, no, let me. Musk said it's going to happen. Trump said it's going to happen. If Joe doesn't do it, he will have a lot of backlash on how it'll happen. I don't think it's going to. I agree with you, speaker, 299 percent chance you're there.

00:24:28

99. I'm at 99, too. My question to you, Pac mentioned it. I know this is a rumor from Reuters, but come, if, let me explain something to you. If, if for some way Pamela going on Joe Rogan, I don't see that happening at all. And, well, I'm saying. But you know what? She might have special earrings. She might have a neural link on.

00:24:49

I don't got earrings. Talked about her earrings.

00:24:55

80 Vance even talking about Eriesa Sage steel.

00:24:58

He was like, me and Vinnie were out there on Mars or something. About those earrings. But people are talking about how many.

00:25:06

Views do you think it gets if it does over? Under 10 million within the first. Within the first couple of weeks.

00:25:12

No, no, no. It's. It's going to be over ten. And the only. And the only reason he won't hit the 50 million mark is because he's been doing a lot of them lately.

00:25:21

That's my point.

00:25:22

So the market is on over. Yeah. So that's the only thing. But again, will there be a clip that could go. Yes. Could there be a clip that goes viral? Is this the earring thing? Yeah, go ahead and play this. Tom's gonna like this.

00:25:34

I wanna point this out. JD Vance has no idea what these.

00:25:38

Questions are, what the topics are. No idea.

00:25:40

We didn't tell him beforehand. There's nobody in his ear, no cute.

00:25:43

Earrings, nothing like that.

00:25:45

I'm just reminding everybody that this is all organic. Okay.

00:25:49

I left my Bluetooth earrings at home, so that is hilarious.

00:25:53

I think it's a joke.

00:25:54

All right.

00:25:54

That is hilarious.

00:25:56

Sage stood it up.

00:25:58

Point. My point being, Pat, there's absolutely.

00:26:00

I'm going to your saying that she won't do it, or, oh, Rogan would.

00:26:05

Drool to have that. What I'm saying is, do you think Kamala. Hold on. Raw dog, meaning no earphones. No, no. No assistance, no. Nobody.

00:26:13

Who actually said raw dog?

00:26:15

Raw dog. Well, I, you know, I'm old school, so if they sit there together, people would know. No assistance. Because, you know, you're not gonna be in that room.

00:26:23

By the way, the story, the story says, the Reuter story says, and the rumor mill, I'm not telling you it's true or not. The rumor mill is they asked him to send questions. And Joe's team said, this is a podcast. This is not an interview.

00:26:39

Great.

00:26:39

So that's the thing. When you're doing these types of things, and anytime people ask me for questions, I'm like, what do we like? It's a conversation.

00:26:47

Yeah.

00:26:48

I can't believe you just. I said. I said we're having a conversation. So he's not gonna. He's not gonna agree to send a list of questions? Not at this space. Well, you know what it does tell you. Here's what it tells you. She's about to go on Bret Bear to do Fox.

00:27:00

Yes.

00:27:01

Okay. And by the way, Brett, if Brett does to her what she did to Trump, it's going to be a very good interview. Remember what he did with Trump when he said, here's what all your former swamp people said. Here's what he said about you. Here's what he said about you. Here's what she said. And he went on for two minutes, and it was a tough interview that Bret Baird did. He's not a guy that's going to do a lightweight interview. If Brett's really not going to take the questions that say they sent and he's going to do a raw dog type of interview that you're talking about, if that's what's going to be the case, great, it'll be good. But for her to go to Rogan and do it, it's because they're desperate and they're behind the eight ball. It's that simple.

00:27:43

I think that's the big go there, Pat. They are desperate and they are behind the eight ball. But every one of her media encounters has been managed. These are managed media encounters. If you want the interview on your network to get your views, and yes, I want the publicity, but if you want that to get your ad dollars, then you will cooperate and these will be the questions, or we'll never be here again. They do this with actors and actresses when they go on the Tonight show talking about a movie, and they say, do not talk about my recent divorce. We won't come on here again. And the studio says, we will boycott you, Jimmy Kimmel. There's other places we can go. So that happens all the time. She is living in a managed world and walking over into the podcast or into the unscripted sit down, you know, across the glass table that they do on CNN and they do on Fox very effectively. You know, if Fox agrees to it and Brett seems subdued, I will lose a lot of respect for Fox because it means that they chose the ad dollars. And maybe they went along with a certain amount of questions and they said, but we can put this question, that question.

00:28:50

But she's been living in a managed world. And if she walks over into an unscripted world, it's death.

00:28:56

Here's some numbers for you real quick, because I said this the other day. I said, by the way, every time she talks, her numbers go down. She's been on this media tour between Howard Stern, between call her daddy, between the view and her numbers. In September, she was up 49, 44. Don't look now. Fourth quarter October here, and it's basically a tie ballgame. And Trump is now the favorite. A month ago, she was the favorite. You know, she got the sugar high with all that. But every time she's talking that people start to learn more about her. They're like, yeah, I don't think she's very qualified for this. Regardless of how you feel about Trump, I get it. There's a personality issue there. But the difference is he at least has more of a policy perspective than she has. According to what you're seeing out there. He. Because her numbers are going down so much. Here's the point. He has Obama go out there and what didn't work with Obama, with black men. Here's some stats for you. So he chastised them. It didn't work. He tried to lecture them. It didn't work. He tried to shame that he didn't work.

00:29:56

And now follow the money. They're trying to bribe black men with three weeks to go with the election. Have you seen what these numbers are? They're basically saying, all right, we're gonna give black men, specifically, $1 million of forgivable business loans. If you're an entrepreneur and you want.

00:30:13

To give us $20,000, I forgive him.

00:30:15

A million dollars of forgivable business loans. Check it. Because it's the opportunity. There it is right there, Tom. You just got fact check. Boom. Because it's the opportunity.

00:30:25

It's 1 million forgivable loans, not $1 million or $20,000 loans. There's a million of them.

00:30:32

He's got refactor.

00:30:35

The point is, they're trying to. Blah, blah, blah. They're trying to thank you. They're trying to bribe black men.

00:30:44

Here's another thing here, if you need me.

00:30:45

They're regulating crypto. Yeah, they're promoting black men as teachers. By the way, the 75% of teachers are women. And then here's the crew de gras. There's now all of a sudden, she's supporting legalizing marijuana. Isn't she the person that was basically notorious for locking up black.

00:31:02

Well, 17 states are ahead of you, Kamala.

00:31:05

There's three weeks left. And if you're a black man in America, you're like, all right, you're trying to tell me that it took three weeks before the election to actually give a shit about us. And the numbers actually aren't helping about them, because for black women, Kamala is up 83 to eleven. For black men, she's up 68 to 24, meaning Trump has 24% of the black male vote, whereas he only has 11%. So there's a clear gender dividend, whether it's white, whether it's black. In the whites, Trump, as far as men, overall, up 16. Kamala's up 14. This 30 point swing total overall is the highest ever on record. I want to find something in this election. It's really men versus women. It's childless cat ladies versus the.

00:31:54

I think that. I think the African American say it like Trump African American. Those numbers, bro. I've. I'm seeing it from friends that I know and just the vibe from all the videos from everybody. That number is. I think it's. I think it's off. I think there's more people that are waking up and not buying into that B's. Barack Obama, who came in with yes, we can and change and didn't do nothing. He played that whole race card like he was gonna be the savior member people. Pat would come on and be like, he's. Women were crying on election day, inauguration when they're like, he's gonna pay my rent. He's gonna. Didn't do any of that. My question to is packing. I know we want to move on the Bret bear fox thing. Do you think they're gonna some way, somehow, either give her the questions because ABC whistleblower said, I know the ABC's left, but they gave her all the questions and, you know, the blah, blah. They have to be some type of, like, game that they're gonna have to play.

00:32:44

It depends. And here's what I mean by it depends. Okay. And, Tom, I want to hear your thoughts on this as well. By the way, both of you guys are right. It's a 1 million fully forgivable loans of up to $20,000. So it's not a $1 million forgivable loan. It's 1,020,000, which ends up becoming stand.

00:33:01

Correct.

00:33:01

Which ends up becoming $20 billion. It's a lot of money. So, anyway, you're right. But let me go back to it.

00:33:06

Big bribe. You're right about the bribes.

00:33:08

Let me go back to it. So to me, the reason why it could be different. A bread bear interview. If Brett is reaching out to Kamala.

00:33:18

Mm hmm.

00:33:19

They say, send out your questions. But if Kamala's reaching out to Brett, Brett says, I'll do without any questions. So who called who? That's what it's about, the question. So if she wants to be on Rogan. Rogan ain't sending no questions.

00:33:35

Hell, no.

00:33:36

Not at all.

00:33:37

No.

00:33:37

But it's at a point right now that I think she needs to go everywhere, because everywhere. And I'm telling you, everywhere. I. She needs to go everywhere. If she doesn't, she will not win. The way the numbers are looking today, everybody's a little bit hesitant about stating, you know, hey, this is going to be a landslide and this is going to be a this and this is going to be that. People are worried about saying something like that because in 2020, you know, it was like, oh, my God, what is going to happen? What is this? And what is that? Let me show you what just came out yesterday. Rob, I'm going to send this to you. If you could please play this. If you could please play this and show what, this isn't what I'm, what I'm sharing with you right now. This isn't, we're not talking Fox News. We're not talking any of that stuff. We're talking CNN. She is the worst performing candidate against black men ages 18 to 44. The worst. Watch this. Look at this. Play this and make me go, whoa. This is one of them. All right. This is the democratic margin among black men under the age of 45 in presidential elections.

00:34:54

You go back to November of 2012.

00:34:56

What do you see?

00:34:57

Look at that. You see Obama by 81. Clinton only won him by 63. Then we're all the way down to Biden last time around by 53. Tremendous drop already. And then you take a look at the average of the most recent polls and Kamala Harris is up by only 41 points. That is about, by the way, you know what to say. Let him, let him move a little bit. Let him move a little bit. If you can. Let him just take him. 2012. And this, I think is, you know, pause right there. Check this out. You know, all of this, unfortunately, this makes Kamala look badde. But 100%, 80% of all of this falls on Obama.

00:35:37

Yep.

00:35:38

Because look at the fall started. It started with Obama. You made promises. You didn't do anything for the black community. And the Democrats could potentially lose millions of black voters for decades to come. Similar to what happened with Barry Goldwater. This is the Democrats Barry Goldwater momentous that they're internally afraid of. Keep playing this clip.

00:36:02

I've thought some of goes in.

00:36:03

Last week when he was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, essentially talking to young black men, he made it seem like it was a Kamala Harris specific problem. This is part of a long standing trend of young black CNN moving away from Kamala Harris is that mage where.

00:36:24

Some of the biggest drops happened or already happened happened in this case.

00:36:27

How about producer? How about black men overall? It's part of the same picture. We're looking once again younger black men. It looks like the worst democratic performance since 1960, since JFK versus Richard Nixon. It's the same thing among black men overall. Again, part of a similar trend. But here, actually, the drop isn't as dramatic. Right. Barack Obama won him by 85. Then you see 71 with Clinton, 69. Biden, basically the same thing, holding steady, but here, again, very, very weak. Only a 54 point margin. Now, again, still winning them by a large margin, but considerably lower than what we're used to. Certainly considerably lower what we had during the Obama year. The bottom line is Kamala Harris, younger black men and then black men overall, putting in guy on the left. You know, we're talking about the trend line, right? And black women, look, she's doing better with black women than she is doing among black men. But here, there isn't a trend line almost until we get to Kamala Harris. So again, this is a black margin among black women. Obama won 93, very large margin. Clinton won by 93, a very large margin.

00:37:36

Biden did a little bit worse at 85. But then you look here and you get a 71 point margin. Now, again, these are large margins. But the bottom line is when you talk about of the, you get the idea, Vinnie, this. Do you know how behind closed doors where Kamala is not around, not when Kamala was around. Think about it, Tom. Kamala's not around. Obama is in a meeting with who? Put Schumer, put Pelosi halls. You put in that room, not Biden. Maybe Clinton's at this point. Sure. Okay.

00:38:10

For sure.

00:38:10

They're in that room.

00:38:11

Deep podesta on speaker.

00:38:13

Oh, for.

00:38:13

What do you think they're saying with Kamala? What, what can we do at this point to save.

00:38:19

Yeah.

00:38:19

Who is there? Elon Musk. Who is the Elon musk that can save him? Zuck is out. You. They. He helped you in 2020. He's out. Who's your Elon Musk to save you right now? Barack Obama's a message and words is not falling. It has received.

00:38:34

That's right.

00:38:34

They do not musk today, Tom.

00:38:36

There's no superman. There is no bat phone. There's no light in the sky. And Clinton comes out and says, well, you know, let me go rouse up the crowds.

00:38:43

Nothing's working.

00:38:44

Was able to do that after he left office. He was able to do that. But Obama didn't want Clinton's because they didn't. Because, you know, Hillary, bad job.

00:38:52

I know, I love it.

00:38:53

And when you say, and by the way, speaking of surrogate Clinton, surrogate Clinton here goes to Georgia yesterday and was zero help as a matter of negative.

00:39:04

Yeah, the clip. Watch this. This is him.

00:39:10

We playing it.

00:39:11

Robbie cardio, sir. Sorry again, Rob can't hear it.

00:39:18

Rob.

00:39:18

It's playing on my end. That's the guys in the back.

00:39:20

Guys, guys. Okay.

00:39:25

So you got a case.

00:39:26

Maybe go on a clip. Maybe go on a Twitter and find a clip because I can't hear it. So if you go on Twitter and go to one of them, you can put. You. You put put Clinton.

00:39:34

Riley, while they're pulling it up hat it's the Clinton is a surrogate. They're there. They've called the bat phone. And this is the best thing.

00:39:42

While he's pulling this up, I'm just not to shift topics back to what you were saying about Obama. I think there's actually three things that are happening right now. Just real quick. Yes, it's on Obama. Because there's basically a sentiment. It was like, what did Obama actually do to help?

00:39:57

Nothing.

00:39:58

Black people. You know, they might say, well, Obamacare didn't work. I would say that maybe he. He helped the lgbt community more than he helped black people.

00:40:05

Yes.

00:40:05

The second thing is, I think there's a general assessment from most people that are like the democratic party because all it takes is one election. They talked about the Barry Goldwater election. Whatever was. All it takes is one election for people to be like, what? What? I'm out. And I think that election is happening in 2024 with the current state of the democratic party, the DEI woke agenda, LGBTQIA. But don't discount. Probably the most important thing, and that is Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump, you know, the mug shot, I love the blacks, whatever. There's definitely a sentiment of people like, yo, I wasn't a Trump guy 2016. I'm riding with Trump right now. But here's the moment where he actually needs to kick in, because if Trump wins or loses, and next time the candidate is a JD Vance or a deSantis, I think that numbers goes down. I think with a fact black people more identify with him. But I think this is the chance this election right here where the republicans reverse the truck.

00:41:01

Okay, go ahead and play this clip. This is Bill Clinton trying to help Kamala, and it backfires. Go ahead, Rob. Okay.

00:41:11

I think his voice is very low. If they were properly vetted, it wouldn't happen, is what he said.

00:41:23

And that doesn't happen. And America is not having enough babies to keep our populations up. So we need to do work.

00:41:36

There wouldn't be a problem.

00:41:38

And he couldn't keep people all torn up and upset. Tom, thoughts on this?

00:41:43

Well, he goes, I think he spoke from the heart and I think he spoke truthfully. I actually think that there is no spin. I think that Bill Clinton believes everything he just said aligned. But that message in the, in the bright light of day is not a message that's going to help Kamala Harris's campaign. The surrogates are out and Obama's ineffective. You know, Clinton is speaking truth. Hillary is nowhere to be seen. And doesn't it seem kind of weird, Pat, like over the last weekend, Saturday Night Live went out. Look at all the places that went out. And Kamala was suddenly going from like 100% of media support. Suddenly she's going to not quite 100% immediate support. And there's a lot of people taking the gloves off. But the surrogates didn't help. And, and Bill Clinton spoke the truth.

00:42:32

And we don't have to see it back because he's kind of saying the same thing. In the video I sent to Rob, he said we need illegal aliens because Americans birth rate is declining. So think about the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party, right? They want to enshrine the ability to kill unborn babies, but then they complain that we have a declining birth rate. So they want to import men from other countries to impregnate our women. Does that make sense to anybody? No, it doesn't make any sense. Like, what are you talking about?

00:42:55

I do. I actually see what you're saying right here where they're so, so super pro abortion and women's reproductive rights.

00:43:00

Yes.

00:43:01

But at the same time, they're complaining.

00:43:02

That we don't have enough babies.

00:43:04

Clinton, it's shame to see what happened. Bill Clinton, because the nineties were amazing. But he did say the quiet part out loud where he said, elizabeth, you know, the lake and Riley, they didn't, they didn't have veteran, he shouldn't have been in the legal immigrant and killed. But there is true that we're having the exact opposite of a baby. Boom. We're having a baby boss. People aren't having enough kids. So they're actually basically saying maybe this is part of the agenda. Just let as many people in here because we need people to take care.

00:43:30

Of all the old, let me tell you if we're staying on this topic, if we're staying on this topic, Rob, play this clip by Milton Friedman. For many years ago. Milton Friedman to me, I got a painting of my house. It's got multiple characters in it. MLK, Milton Friedman, the Shah, John F. Kennedy. Rob, I just text you the clip if you can pull it up. Senna, Lincoln, Ireton, Senate, Tupac and I think that's it. Right. Myself in it. And Milton Friedman said this about illegal immigration that's been going viral lately. I want you to watch this. Watch how he explains it. This is, in my opinion, probably the greatest economist we've had in the last 60 years. Go ahead, Rob. For example, at the obvious immediate practical case of illegal mexican immigration, now that mexican immigration over the border is a good thing, listen, it's a good thing for the illegal immigrants, it's a good.

00:44:20

Thing for the United States, it's a good thing for the citizens of the.

00:44:23

Country, but it's only good so long as it's illegal. Did you get it? That's an interesting paradox to think about. Make it legal and it's no good. Why?

00:44:35

Because as long, as long as it's.

00:44:37

Illegal, the people who come in do not qualify for welfare, they don't qualify for Social Security, they don't qualify for all the other myriads of benefits that we pour out from our left pocket into our right pocket to us meaning to us. And so as long as they don't qualify, they migrate to jobs. They take jobs that most residents of.

00:45:01

This country are unwilling to take.

00:45:03

They provide employers with workers of a.

00:45:05

Kind they cannot get.

00:45:06

They're hard workers, they're good workers and they are clearly better off.

00:45:11

Wow.

00:45:12

What? How are you processing that, Pat? Because she.

00:45:14

Speaker one. Well, listen to me. There is the key word he says is what? What's the keyboard? Mexican illegal immigrants. He didn't say illegal immigrants that are coming, that are former. Whatever. Right. He's specific being to Mexicans. Remember the year he's saying this. This is probably going to be in the eighties, seventies. Yeah. So to me, I think he is trying to troll the audience. That is for it. But also at the same time trying to make a point that what these guys are trying to do with these illegal immigrants coming here, they're trying to do what? They're trying to fully legalize them and document them, right. To allow them to vote and do other things. There is an element of his argument that is true. The moment that becomes a problem is that now for security purposes and breaking the law, you're breaking the law, period. And if you're breaking the law, if the rest of us break the law, we go to jail. But the illegal immigrants cross the border, they break the law, they're okay. I mean, that's the slippery slope of what Milton Friedman is saying. But there is a very unique argument in there.

00:46:20

Go ahead.

00:46:20

I do agree with that. Milton Friedman is arguably the best economist we've had in the last 5100 years. THomas Sowell, possibly in that mix as well. But very interesting what he said about, you know, and juxtaposing it with, you know, Mexico. They're not sending their best. And the reality is, was in the seventies and eighties was majority of Mexicans. And did you see what Dana White said about Mexicans? Because the best compliment you could ever give a Mexican is that you fight like a Mexican. They're like, hell yeah, Dana White said that. But the fact that he said that they don't qualify for benefits, they just basically work. We don't have to give them welfare. We don't have to basically take care of them. Juxtapose that with what's happened over the last four years in this administration, hotels.

00:47:02

Credit cards, prepaid cards, assaulting cops and walking out of jail, just benefits galore.

00:47:08

So, and it's not just Mexicans. It's everyone from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador. You saw that Trump call out Naibu Kelly is like, yeah, I'd have a low crime, too if you kept all the MS 13 here. But now we have Azerbaijani, we have Iranians, we have chinese people come from all over the country just basically running through the southern border with no one stopping them like it's a go long touchdown. Nobody's playing cover two defense out here. So what's changed is Milton Freeman specifically was talking about Mexicans. Now everybody can come in the country and get whatever you want from the federal government and the cities and states.

00:47:45

Tom, your thoughts?

00:47:47

Milton Friedman is making a very interesting point. If you dive into it, one of the things that I find really nasty is worker exploitation. And the agriculture industry has had a long history of taking the illegals and paying them very, very meager wages and accepting them to work the fields. And that is not the best outcome. And I think these people need to be. Minimum wage is minimum wage. And if you come here legally and you're looking for a job and specific.

00:48:28

To the illegal, Tom, I'm asking you what you think about what Milton Friedman said.

00:48:32

I think he was trying to, he's right. And he was, I believe I agree with you, he was trying to bait the question to the other side. And at the end of it, when he was talking about taking jobs other people won't take, that's what I'm commenting on, is that he's specifically talking about, specifically in California, the agriculture industry.

00:48:52

There's some abuse there. You're right. And we know some people that used to do that, Bakersfield, some other places that are with us doing very good for themselves right now. You know the stories that I'm talking about, but I just think it's an interesting angle that he's taken. And by the way, Rob, has Kamala been doing any kind of a speaking lately? And if she has, how has she been perform it? If you have any clips to show us. I think there was. Was she on the trail crushing it? Go ahead, Rob.

00:49:16

This is her with Roland Martin yesterday.

00:49:18

Okay, cool. Let's see this.

00:49:20

You know, there's this whole. I talked with somebody once who said, you know, if you just look at.

00:49:25

Where the stars are in the sky, don't look them as just random things. If you just look at them as points, look at the constellation. What does it show you? So you just outlined it, Roland. What does it show you?

00:49:41

What the hell is she talking?

00:49:42

Did he respond?

00:49:44

Is this a joke? Are you joking?

00:49:45

No, that's.

00:49:46

That's a clip that's going around today as she talks about constellations and trying to provide policies for black voters to make their lives better.

00:49:54

What is she even.

00:49:55

Okay, so, Rob, I almost stepped away from the podcast watching that. Forget about the viewers that are listening to this. I almost myself went upstairs and just smoked a cigar. But anyways, let's continue. Let's continue.

00:50:05

That was your old buddy Roland Martin.

00:50:07

Yeah, Roland. Roland is a. I got a couple guys that would love to debate Roland Martin. Roland's just got to agree to come. By the way, quick shout out to this account called not PBD. Go to Twitter. Man. I got to tell you, whoever's behind this, I'm still trying to find that. I asked a bunch of guys here local. So there's this account that literally says not PBD. But if you look at the tweet, it says Patrick David, CEO of. And the parody is so at the end that people think this is, of course, and they don't read, offering one way trip to Iran for anyone who thinks America's not the greatest country. Now watch this. Keep going. Let me tell you what. Some of the stuff he's supposed to zoom out a little bit. This one. Secret Service rushes trump off the stage after he fell, falls at the rally, says, I don't usually use these words, but FCNN, right? And this thing goes viral. Go to the next. Keep going. Keep going. Post. He's just so funny. Keep going. So this one here, even your audience agrees with me that you're an idiot.

00:51:02

Crowd scene. Which one is this? I'm voting for Kamala Harris because. Okay, keep going lower. Keep going lower. Keep going lower. So this is Mark. Apparently, he got Mark Cuban to block.

00:51:12

That's so funny.

00:51:12

Speaker zero. Yeah, so. So go down. And when I saw that, I thought that bar Cuban. Go lower, Rob. Keep going lower. Keep going lower. Keep going lower. To the part where he post a picture about Mark Cuban. Keep going ki. No, no, keep going. That's not the one. Keep going lower, Rob. Keep going lower, lower, lower, lower. It's about to come up in about three. Boom, boom. Right there. So he post this. Let me see what he says. He says whatever it takes to be the head of SEc and.

00:51:43

Such a very woman.

00:51:44

That's what got him blocked. And go back up to the top. All the way to the top where he posts. I'm blocked on the first one. Keep going. Right there, right there. And by the way, go on the comment section of this one, Rob, if you could zoom out a little bit on the comp. Cardone says he thinks he's the only one who knows anything. Everyone else is an idiot. And the moment you push back and the guy has the balls to call Elon Musk, things can keep going lower. I heard his feelings. Okay, what's that one? Such a shame. What's that one? It's. Zoom out a little bit. It's so bad when people stand in front of.

00:52:16

It's so bad.

00:52:17

Yeah.

00:52:21

Go back, Rob. This guy is the.

00:52:25

And you have no clue.

00:52:26

I have no if. Listen, this is not PBD.

00:52:30

Do you think he walks around and tells people, like, hey, do you know PBD is. And they go, yeah.

00:52:34

He's like, but by the way, the parody accounts out there for everybody. I fell for AOC's first Elon all the time. But the way this guy's done it, I'm telling you, on tweets, you can't tell it's not me because it says, patrick Ben David, seal Valley. And nobody ever looks at the handle.

00:52:54

That says, nobody ever offended.

00:52:56

It's a parody.

00:52:56

Yeah, to whoever it is. Jennifer says, should this be allowed to be up there? I'm like, look, Elon likes trolling, and he likes memes, so it is what it is. But anyways, shout out to all the parody accounts out there. You're. You're very entertaining. You are very entertaining. Let me continue going with this thing here. I'm gonna go to the next story. Starbucks. Tom, what is going on? By the way, Tom walked in today. First of all, are you okay if I share what happened?

00:53:21

Go ahead.

00:53:21

So Tom walks in today and everybody's like, did you hear what happened? Did you hear what happened? Did you hear what happened? Tom walks in and I don't know who was with 730 morning, we have this coffee machine. The back stakes a sip out of the coffee, apparently gets pissed, throws it against the wall. Vinnie's coming out of the bathroom. It got your. It was a journey.

00:53:43

My neck.

00:53:44

Yes, we were at the same time. I'm all right and I'm not getting these text, man. I'm like, okay. These guys are trying to mess with me. They're definitely trying to troll me the other way around. Tom's piss. Why? Because this announcement came out. Starbucks is reportedly pulling back on discounts, and Tom wasn't happy about it. So let me just read.

00:54:02

I have re burns.

00:54:03

Just to not piss you off. I want to read these two stories and hand it over to you. First story is get ready to pay more for Starbucks. So that's already very frustrating to Tom. The chain has been offering a series of discounts over the past year, attempted to lure back customers like Tom Ellsworth. But the Wall Street Journal reports that the new CEO, Brian Nicol, is ending that practice, opting to return to positioning as premium brand. Starbucks for much of its history, resisted efforts to offer deals relying on its product and seasonal drainage to bring in customers. But repeated price increases and inflation began to chew away at the loyalty of those regular force in a company offer everything from extra loyalty points to discount. Over the summer, for example, the coffee chain introduced a new pairing menu, which gives customers the ability to pair a tall, hot, or iced tea coffee with some staple foods, including a butter croissant or breakfast sandwich for five or $6. Starbucks tolls fortune. We can confirm that WSJP's is accurate, Tom.

00:55:01

So this guy comes in and he's got to fix it, right?

00:55:05

Do you want to apologize since, like, right now we're together?

00:55:07

Tom, like, I know this is gonna be a permanent mark on my neck.

00:55:09

Because you're sorry I threw the coffee at you.

00:55:12

Okay.

00:55:12

Okay. Go ahead, Tom.

00:55:13

It's okay. But it was 711 coffee.

00:55:16

What?

00:55:17

I would never waste Starbucks. Okay, so here's what's going on. So, you know, Brian Nickel brought in. You know, a very sharp guy, comes from a. A career of success.

00:55:29

Chipotle.

00:55:30

Yeah, he has a thankless job. The first thing he's got to do is decide what button does he push first? And Starbucks is Dei. Starbucks has been. We have talked about baristas that would wear, you know, political buttons and things from only one side and it would insult the other side. It's taking forever. They've lost their mojo. And also, the prices were moving a lot. So he comes in and says, what button am I going to push? The first thing he's saying is, look, all these discounts are confusing. And these discounts get away from the fact I think we make really good coffee and we want to make that coffee faster. So he was doing three things. First thing, he said, no more discounts. So we're not just going to use the discount thing to bring you into Walmart. Like $0.10 for 20 rolls of paper towels that you see at Walmart. They put all those things out there. They're trying to bring you in to buy other stuff. He's like, we're not doing that. We're going to pull back on these discounts. Second thing he said, I want to get more training and equipment for the baristas because I have personally gone into certain Starbucks.

00:56:31

And he was seeing it was taking 20 minutes. I don't go there a lot. That's why everybody's teasing me here, because I've kind of pulled back a little bit on my support for Starbucks. But, Vinny, when you go into a Starbucks, like, any time between 730 and nine, you're not there for four minutes to pick up a coffee. No, there's a line, and there's a big line, and then there's a crowd of people making small talk, waiting for someone to mispronounce your name, indicating that your. Your drinks ready.

00:56:54

Yeah.

00:56:54

And so he's like, that's. That doesn't work. There's too much of that because they also found out that their PBD. This is funny. They put their app in place. Their app was messing up their in store experience. Because if you look at how many drinks would be sitting out there from all the people ordered with their apps, we're all running in, grabbing two of them, and the guy in line is like, hey, Vinny, what are you doing? You walk inside. So Vinny's there waiting 20 minutes for his drink. I ran in and grabbed my two, and they're probably not hot anymore, right? So Nichols is coming back and saying, we're going to get this and we're going to get it.

00:57:25

Right?

00:57:25

So I applaud that. You know, I applaud what he's doing. But at the same time, they're about to take. They're about to take some serious heat. So Nichols, trying to do the right thing. Value, no discounts. Get people's coffee faster and make the in store experience a little bit better, you know, and have a little bit of maybe. Maybe. We just paid Ritz Carlton to do a great.

00:57:48

Tom, what is this other story that says how Starbucks became a sugary team emporium? Bloomberg, what's going on there?

00:57:54

Here's the problem. So Starbucks is trying to get people, and a lot of adults have been balking at the $6 latte. That's a lot of money. $6.

00:58:05

Right.

00:58:05

And Dunkin Donuts is a lot less than that. There's quality coffee. So what have they been going after? All of those refreshers and things? They've been pushing really, really hard, and now they got kids coming in. Believe it or not, they are seeing incredible foot traffic at three in the afternoon. Why? Three kids are out of school, and they're coming in here getting venti strawberry acai lemonade refresher. But there's a problem with that. Hey, Vinny, how many grams of sugar in a can of coke?

00:58:38

39 grams.

00:58:40

That's correct. And how many calories are in a can of coke?

00:58:43

200, 100, and 4140.

00:58:46

Do you know what's in that? Venti strawberry si. Lemonade. 48 grams of sugar and 210 calories.

00:58:52

Got it. And fatty?

00:58:54

Yes, a little. A little fatty, right. For kids. Do kids have a diabetes problems right now? Probably nothing to speak of.

00:59:01

Yeah, well, actually, about 352,000 Americans under the age of 20 are estimated to have diagnosed diabetes. That's 35% of the population.

00:59:08

And you take a look at these kids, or they're not out on the playground. So now Starbucks is having to fight this, because this is about staring them in the face because parents are giving their kids cards, and so the kids are not price sensitive. Mom, I need. You need to reload my Starbucks card. Or they take the Starbucks card, and they put it into the phone. And so now the Starbucks card is effectively in the phone, and so now they're taking heat on this. So Nichols got his work cut out from him. But I think the bigger story is all of these sugary drinks are coming up. Starbucks was. Remember, they were Dei and they were green, they were healthy and all this stuff. And, you know. You know, and then some good things. Trying to give health benefits for workers, you know, at $10 an hour. Now he's out there selling drinks to kids that are more sugar than a can of coke.

00:59:52

Coke.

00:59:52

Yeah. Number one, I think Starbucks is overrated. Number two, make coffee at home. Save that money. Number three, it's very interesting to talk about the diabetes and the kids right now. And if you see what RFK is doing and he's basically taken over the MAgA thing and he's calling it at Maha. Maha. Make America healthy again. And if you just go back to 1960, something, you can go draw a straight line to when JFK gave a speech and he's like, I don't want to see our kids turn into fat, sloppy little kids. You ever seen that clip where he basically is like, let's stay away. Here's the hat he's talking about. Make America healthy again. Whether it's Starbucks, whether it's Dunkin donuts, whether it's my. I love this.

01:00:37

Yeah. That what she does back.

01:00:39

The reality is, you know, our kids are getting fatter. Testosterone is going down. I fully agree that we need to Maha get the meatloaf because when people go to funerals, it's just emotion.

01:00:54

Yeah. Let me go to the next story. Let me go to the next story. Let me go to the next story. All right, so the next story is the end of cheap burger. Okay. This is from Bloomberg. And this is fast food. Burgers have surged in price with the average cost of a fast food burger hitting 841 in mid 2024, up 16% from 2019 to McDonald's. Big Mac now cost 529. And 21% rise over five years as a us cattle herd shrinks to a 73 year low, down 15% since 2019. Beef prices are also soaring, with ground beef reaching 5.58 per pound in August, driven by droughts and high interest rates. The beef production cycle is long and costly, taking up to five years from breeding to market. And current cattle numbers aren't expected to recover soon. JBS, the world's largest meat reduce processor, notes a 15% drop in a young female cows sent to slaughter, but doesn't anticipate a full recovery until 2026. Tyson Food report in August that current data doesn't support herd rebuilding yet, signaling sustained high prices, which Darrell Peel of Oklahoma State University warns may not fall until close to 2030.

01:02:10

Wow, Tom.

01:02:11

So here's, here's what's happening. Fast food is getting more expensive, and one of the staples of fast food in America has been the burger. And so here's what the burger change are having to do. They're having to buy the lowest quality beef so they can get the best price on it, so they can still afford to make the Big Mac. The national average price in a fast food. Now, this is five guys. This is in and out. This is everybody. For a, you know, quarter pound burger was $8.41. National average price. So when McDonald's is out there trying to sell that Big Mac for 529, they're either doing it as a loss leader, because that's just the Big Mac. You buy the Big Mac deal. It's more. And you get the french fries and the soda. So what's happening also is America is going to two things. America is on a necessary shift to chicken because it takes 40 days to make a chicken. You know how long it takes to make a cow? 42 months. 42 months to grow a cow before you slaughter it. It only takes 40 days to grow a chicken.

01:03:12

And so which is faster, which takes less resources to do. And you've got now it's almost become delicacy where there are high end farms now that are making, like, Neiman burgers, grass fed grass, like Nieman Ranch. You can get, you know, there's these Nieman burgers. You ever heard of Neiman Burgers?

01:03:34

No.

01:03:35

And I see you can go look them up. The Niemann burgers are showing up at, like, beer pubs. They're showing up at the. The place we used to go in Dallas at all the taps.

01:03:45

Yard. Yeah, yard house.

01:03:47

Can I say, you can go find.

01:03:49

A Neiman burger, but they're $17, so there is a necessary shift because fast food is not getting cheaper when it's based on beef.

01:03:56

Well, I think you pull up what I just texted you. I don't know if you have it while you're pulling it up. Adam, go ahead.

01:04:00

I think there's one thing we're overlooking.

01:04:02

Super fast with no Brazil.

01:04:04

We move that up.

01:04:05

Yeah. Low carb. I think there's one thing we're missing and respect for. For Tom, for knowing that cows take longer than chickens. That's just Tom for you. But I know one thing. The minimum wage that we've talked about for years and years and years, the chickens are coming home to roost, Tom, because when you fight for 15 and fight for 20, and basically you're paying a minimum wage. Workers 40 grandd when they used to pay them, you know, 32, nothing. And all of a sudden, a 16 year old kid is making 40 grand in California working for in n out Burger, or where Pat, you know, learned his ones and twos on the grill at Burger King out there. Haagen Dazs. Whatever it is, this is what happens. These are the consequences of bad policies. When you increase the minimum wage, every 16 year old, 18 year old kid is now making 40 grand, 50 grandd. Of course the burgers are going to cost more money. PBD. How much did you get paid when you worked for Burger King in 2425?

01:05:04

And you're making a great point, because it's a compounding effect. The beef is costing more, and now the compounding effect. The kid that's flipping the low quality beef burger is being paid more, and suddenly you get yourself very expensive fast food, and people are backing off of it.

01:05:19

I feel like NBA players that played in the eighties, you know, nobody got paid. I mean, back in the days when I worked at Burger King in the nineties, they don't pay. All these spoiler guys making money. I didn't get my contract. No, my five year. $40,000. Your contract?

01:05:32

According to Anthony Edwards, there was no good players other than Michael Jordan. Nobody.

01:05:36

Zoom in a little bit. Okay, so this is the price of beef, Tom. And if you can do me a favor. The timeline, Rob, on the bottom left, I believe it is. If you go to ten years, you see ten years. Look at this. So during COVID it went up. I get it. Yes. Okay. But then back in the days, which is only five years ago, 19. Look where it was.

01:05:56

Yeah.

01:05:56

That's.

01:05:57

Now it's 298.

01:05:59

Yeah.

01:05:59

What the hell are we talking about?

01:06:01

Trying to push us away from beef. They're trying to push away and have us eat bugs.

01:06:05

And you ain't taking my meat.

01:06:06

No.

01:06:07

I'll be damned.

01:06:07

I made mistake.

01:06:09

Nope. That's what they want. That's what. That's what build.

01:06:11

You believe that?

01:06:12

And if you want to talk about the dangers of hormone chicken, let's get RFK in here.

01:06:16

Yeah, get.

01:06:20

Meatloaf gates.

01:06:21

And bugs and eating bugs. And these guys, they want no freaking cows. They don't want no meat. They want you eating that fake, impossible burger crap, which I've never tried. I'll never recommend it. They want your testosterone to be nothing. Nothing. They want you to eat butter made from it. No, I'm good.

01:06:38

I mean, I don't know who's gonna be eating the bugs. You do have some ability there. But then there's the flip side, where they're like the cows and the methane and the greenhouse gasses and the environment. There's a lot of conversations that need to happen.

01:06:52

Outside. You're like.

01:06:57

Just read. The number of cows in America is at a 73 year low.

01:07:01

That's right.

01:07:01

Not good.

01:07:02

Because you know why?

01:07:03

And by the way, they say 70 folks in Japan are not having sex. Cows are not having sex. Yeah. Cows have become a sexist society.

01:07:10

They're not. They're not hooking up. They're done.

01:07:12

Maybe they need to come more like with something called the cow hop, cow calm and you know website just.

01:07:21

Say.

01:07:24

All the cows on the Internet watching only horns, you know.

01:07:30

Only hopes, only next door.

01:07:33

Yeah.

01:07:34

Next story. Google backs new nuclear plants to power. Okay, so Google is going nuclear. Literally they're going nuclear. Here we go. Google support K. Rose power and Kairos power and building seven small nuclear reactors aiming to add 500 nuclear power starting at the end of the decade, which is enough to power a mid sized city or one AI data center campus. Michael Terrell from Google stated the end goal here is 24/7 carbon free energy, highlighting the need for nuclear to complement wind, solar and lithium ion storage. In meeting these goals, Caro's power will deliver the reactors between 2030 and 2035. The project features a 50 megawatt reactor initially, followed by three power plants with two megawatt reactors each. Unlike traditional reactors, kairos uses molten fluoride salt as coolant rather than water. The reactors are about one 20th the size of conventional thousand megawatt units, with manufacturing and testing currently underway at their facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

01:08:40

Tom so AI and ev take a lot of volts. They take a lot of power. And so American needs more power. We've already heard about California with all the people with Ev's charging them at night, like in the summer, where they still have the air conditioning on being a big shortage. Brownouts, old power. I'm looking at you, Gavin Newsom. Old power lines that are causing the wildfires of brownouts. A brownout is when in the evening.

01:09:07

They literally turn down different meanings. But go ahead.

01:09:09

Yeah, they turn down the power available. So it's not a blackout, it's like a brownout where the power grid better.

01:09:16

Not be a commonly joke right now.

01:09:17

No, it's not.

01:09:18

No, it's not. It's a brownout is where there is. They're trying.

01:09:22

She's indian or black.

01:09:28

The insult.

01:09:30

What people want to know. A brownout is where the power company desperately tries to keep power on for everybody. But they can only deliver so much power for everybody. So it's not a blackout, it's a brownout. It's actually your power company fighting so you can keep your air conditioning on and elderly people in the summer won't die. And so you've got all this power demand in California on the EV's. Everything's going to be EV by 2035. No, no more diesel trucks and all this. And meanwhile the grid's being taxed and so Google and everybody are looking at it they want to offer AI. They're looking at power shortage. So what do they do? Build reactors.

01:10:09

So, wait, you mean to tell me Google is about to build nuclear plants, but what? Iran has. How many?

01:10:15

They have one that was built in 2013 by the Russians. Bashar. Bashar. If I'm pronouncing that right, they have.

01:10:23

One reactor, and I don't know if, you know, I don't know if the people out there know this or nothing. Russia doesn't have a great track record with nuclear reactors. Tom. Do you remember a little place called Chernobyl? Yeah.

01:10:31

They had a defect in that project, so.

01:10:34

But.

01:10:34

So, Tom. So wait, that's a. Google is going to be its own, like, nuclear power?

01:10:37

Yeah.

01:10:38

Google's going to have seven reactors, and Iran has one. So Google. Google's a nuclear power.

01:10:42

So they might be getting attacked or.

01:10:44

Yeah, they might be.

01:10:45

Oh, yeah.

01:10:45

Well, don't. Don't upset somebody south of Lebanon and north of Egypt because they may put a.

01:10:52

That's wild, Tom.

01:10:53

I learned a lot right there. I thought when you said brown out, I thought it was kind of the equivalent of, like, Blexit. You know, the blacks, the Browns. They're leaving the Democratic Party.

01:11:00

No, no.

01:11:01

Why is this a story so important? Like, why did you want to focus on this one right here? Because this is the first time hearing of this.

01:11:07

Oh, because learning this. Because it's a good idea. Yeah, it's good what Google is doing. We should entertain nuclear power. We should entertain going that direction. And it's great the fact that good ideas are being used by those that at one point opposed the fact that this was a good idea. This is a good, effective way of using nuclear power. By the way, most of us, when we think about nuclear.

01:11:27

Yeah.

01:11:27

What do you think about? If I said. If I said right now. Morning. Today. Adams been gay. Now you may assume, like, Adam is part of LGBTQ. I'm an ally, but gay is. He has been happy all morning. Yeah, I'm a literal guy. That's. English is my favorite language to me. I have to look at it.

01:11:49

I'm the gayest.

01:11:50

When you say the word nuclear, all we think about is what you think. You think nuclear plants. You're like, oh, something's gonna happen. But no, it's okay. If Adam is gay, we don't have a problem.

01:12:01

Let me tell you something. I was with my boyfriend. This bed sheets bit nuclear out there. But that's okay, guys. Choice. Make the choice.

01:12:09

I'm not saying, first of all, I want you to know that. I want to be very serious here for a second, for everybody know this. I would never judge you.

01:12:20

You're telling me it's okay, it's not my fault. Like, listen, I've been, I've been, I've been doing the chick thing for four months.

01:12:26

Have you spent time with me a lot? Would I judge how much? I mean, I would never judge.

01:12:34

Never judge.

01:12:35

Never judge.

01:12:35

Like closet, in the closet. Get out of the car.

01:12:38

By the way, the fact that he even gave the look like I would judge him. I would never.

01:12:42

Thank you. I feel very comfortable.

01:12:44

I don't want. What I'm saying is you like working here, but the idea is you always have my back.

01:12:51

No problem.

01:12:52

No pun, intention, right?

01:12:54

Or at least no shoulder blades.

01:12:56

But look, I mean, the point is, Tommy, that's a little too visual. But the point here, the point here is. The point here is the fact that the war, nuclear, nuclear scares a lot of people.

01:13:07

Yeah.

01:13:08

Good for Google for going this direction. I'm willing to bethe the next three, 6912, 18 months. Watch how many companies are going to make similar announcements. Just watch how many companies will be making similar announcements the next three, 6912 months. Anyways, here's California. If you're in California. I know every time. You guys love it when we give you guys some good news. Newsom's got some more good news for you guys. Apparently they're planning on increasing gas prices as if it's not already the highest in America. They want a gas price increase by another $0.47. Go ahead, Rob. Play the clip. Go ahead, Rob.

01:13:40

Hi, Governor Ashley Zavala with KCR three. I am going to follow up on that LCFS question.

01:13:48

Guys have already moved off this.

01:13:50

No, no. Well, it's in an attempt to be.

01:13:52

Able to explain to California drivers just to level set their expectations at the pump as this rulemaking process begins. The LCFS process is underway, as you.

01:14:02

Have said, but in less than a.

01:14:04

Month, they're scheduled to vote on that and carb at the moment. The LA Times reported last week that.

01:14:11

They'Re not providing an update to the.

01:14:13

Estimate that it might cost consumers.

01:14:15

And I reached out to Carb on Friday.

01:14:17

I have yet to hear back. I asked them, is that true? Do you not plan on publicly updating people on what the potential costs at the pump could be? So do you think it's fair to California drivers for people, people do not know what those LCFS standards mean at the pump.

01:14:32

Well, LCFS is not a brand new construct. It's been well established for years and years and years and years. There's a process that's consistent with the process they've had in the past. They put up some estimates. They put up updated estimates. So they have been transparent in that respect to the degree that they should provide more. I'm for more transparency.

01:14:51

Absolutely. From that perspective.

01:14:53

So to answer your question, question, I think more is better. I mean, that's the spirit of this special session. It's the spirit of why I'm here today signing this bill. But I do think it's important to talk about the substance and the merits of LCFF and how it's made a big impact on our low carbon green growth agenda in the state of California. It's helped to pave the way to having seven times more green collar jobs than we have fossil fuel jobs. I'll repeat that. Seven x more jobs in this sector. It's one of the reasons guys like Elon Musk and others so damn successful is because we've set price signals, we've created markets, we've created opportunities for investment. We're the number one manufacturing in the state for a reason. We continue to be the envy of the world in these policies. And LCFs is a big, big part of that.

01:15:37

Just to quickly clarify.

01:15:38

So under, I mean, you're the boss. Well, you direct. I'm not the dictator.

01:15:43

Well. But will you direct cars, coastal commitment?

01:15:46

Will you direct carb then to provide an estimate before that? I think it's important to be. I think you heard exactly what I said. I'll repeat it. I think it's important to be transparent. $0.47 is what? The number is higher. Yeah. By January 2025. Okay. Is what? The number that's going around, they don't want to give that number out. And he's saying, California has been this dude. You've lost a trillion dollars of assets under management. You lost Rogan, you lost Musk, you lost so many people that are leaving your place. And the only reason the other people are not is because they got locked in with families and businesses that they cannot leave tomorrow.

01:16:18

You can pull up the image.

01:16:21

You've lost Hollywood. Mister Newsome, Mister handsome Newsom that's got his raspy voice. But Tom, what do you, what do you hear about the. Right here? The lawmakers also raise again car that signals gas prices are expected to rise by what? Another forty seven cents per gallon in 2025 due to low carbon fuel standards reforms. And, Rob, can you do me a favorite of can you pull up most expensive gas price state in America? Let's see what comes up. Gas prices state America. California's, California is the highest and you're going to add another forty seven cents to that in taxes. You're welcome, California. This message is brought to you by the lovely Governor Newsom.

01:17:05

I would actually love to see that, that full list because the top three states are some of the most progressive states in the union.

01:17:11

Well, by the way, one of the fastest way to have hidden taxes is put it in gas. That's one fastest way to collect taxes is put it in gas.

01:17:17

Yep.

01:17:18

Nobody will take notice, huh? Nobody will. It's one of the fastest, smoothest, slickest.

01:17:23

Creative ways to put it in there.

01:17:25

Go ahead, Tom.

01:17:25

Well, Gavin Newsom says he's against fossil fuels, but when you hear him talk, he's one of the oiliest guys you're going to meet. See what I did there? See what I did there? So one of the things that he talks about is we created green jobs. He doesn't talk about the thousands and thousands of Tesla jobs that left.

01:17:45

Yup. That's right.

01:17:45

He says we created green jobs. So you have to listen to what Gavin Newsom says. You don't need to fact check this guy. That's a given. You don't have to do extra fact checking, but you have to context check him constantly.

01:17:58

I like that.

01:17:58

Because he always context check correct. I like that we created green jobs. What about the thousands that Elam took to Texas? I'm not talking about that. What we created. So he answers what he wants to and he says at the end of that, you see what he flips back around to. He doesn't answer the question. I think I've already answered the question. I'm in favor of transparency, sir. We were asking you how much the tax was and you said, I think, I think you think they should be transparent. I think should be more transparent. I'm in favor of transparency. Okay. Thank you. About transparency. Let's move back to tax. How much are the people going to be charged at the pump? And he won't say it.

01:18:33

He's, he's just like when you just watch him, he is, you have to give him credit. He is extremely good at being like just a slip that long answer. He's just, to me, he's just like a slithering snake. By the way, talk about just more adding to California. They just did a November 1 spring to, hey, you know, they're doing that. They're having a mask mandate in certain cities in California are back taking effect November 1 to the spring 2025 did you know that, Tom? That's mass.

01:19:01

Matt.

01:19:02

Matt, mandate.

01:19:02

I don't want to see your face when you're voting.

01:19:04

Oh, that could be a great point. And first, and Pat, did you hear what happened with the Anna Kasparian?

01:19:10

What happened?

01:19:10

She's leaving California. She's not voting for the Democrats. You guys hear what happened? She was allegedly molested by outside. For the left to be like, yo, enough is enough. We're done. California has been falling, and it's, you'd think that they would start making, did.

01:19:27

You see how she was attacked for bringing that up?

01:19:29

Yeah, they went after her.

01:19:30

All she did was said, this is how I feel. This is what happened. I felt violated. I felt assaulted. This is horrible. And yet, for breaking ranks, what did they do to her? Oh, you're being, so did they were all, ask Eric Adams what happens if you break ranks.

01:19:45

Yeah, exactly.

01:19:45

To be specific. And I'm 0% condoning what happened, or it's homeless. But what the problem was. She called homeless people homeless.

01:19:53

Yeah.

01:19:53

Everyone knows. Misplaced the unfortunate who no longer have room roofs over their head. You cannot call homeless people homeless anymore. State of California, it says they're gonna hurt the homeless people's fear.

01:20:06

What is going, what's gonna pay the price for that? What, pally? What would make someone even want to move? I don't remember the last time I heard somebody saying, I'm moving to California, dude.

01:20:14

Period.

01:20:15

Surf and ski in the same day. Vinny, wake up.

01:20:18

Yeah. Guess what? I would rather have hurricanes and freedom than California. And Gavin Newsom led.

01:20:24

Jacqueline did it. That was 1973.

01:20:27

But then they give you a free poop map when you move to California, so you avoid a it.

01:20:30

You would rather have hurricanes and freedom and Milton, the guy she hooked up.

01:20:36

With, anything else than anything else, period. Done deal.

01:20:39

That's, well, why don't we transition into something else that maybe top. Rob, let's, let's talk about what Elon just did this last week, historic week, for him, being able to do something that the government does nearly, it cost him 20 times more to do what he just said. He does it for 20th of a cost. Nearly a 20th of a cost. Go ahead, Rob. And it's good, Rob, you got to play the one with the, with the lady reacting with the voice in the background and the celebration. That's the clip. Because the clip is her commentary is what makes it when I see, because what they did is this is, this is so monumental when a group of people I just sent you to, you can go to my Twitter account, Robin, you'll see there as well. When you see a group of people work on something that everybody said, you'll never pull it off. What do you think you're doing? Who do you think you are? You're not this guy. You're going to go, this is all a gibberish, and then you pull it off. Listen to the way she speaks about it. Go ahead, Rob.

01:21:45

Landing, birdhouse.

01:21:50

We're now down to three Raptor engines. We can see those chopsticks.

01:22:13

Hell, yeah.

01:22:16

I love it. I love it. This is insane.

01:22:22

On the first ever attempt, we have.

01:22:25

Successfully caught the super heavy booster. Back at.

01:22:29

Look at that.

01:22:30

That's what it feels like. It's going to be election night here.

01:22:39

Oh, my. On the first attempt, speaker one, you.

01:22:42

Know what's great about this? Did you know what the space program has dumped in the Atlantic Ocean and in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Anderberg? You would be shocked if you knew how much junk is at the bottom of our oceans.

01:22:55

Is that why there's fish with nine heads?

01:22:57

Yeah. And those are, those are exotic fuels and stuff they use. And the junk that's up in space floating around, that in the future, we're going to have to figure out how to take down these older satellites. And guess what the solution is? Some of the solution is, oh, drop them into a lower orbit where they lose. Lose velocity and they drop through the atmosphere and they land in the largest body of water in the United States, which is. I mean, in the, in the world. The largest body of water, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean.

01:23:25

Damn it.

01:23:27

I thought you were going to say caspian steel.

01:23:30

That's right. And they're just going to say, hey, whatever's left, let it come back and reentry and go in the ocean. They got to figure out the space junk. And then. So Elon Musk, think about this. Think about this. He's in an industry where it would be perfectly okay to launch a rocket and drop the booster in the ocean. That would be perfectly okay. That's what's been happening for years and years. In the middle of the ocean is international waters, Kefla. Instead he says, I'm going to get it back, and I'm going to get it back. But with such incredible innovation. Look at the joy in those teams.

01:24:02

I love that.

01:24:02

To say they're part of that.

01:24:03

I love that. Rob, can you do me a favor? Do me a favor and google the following. Here's what I want you to Google. I want you to go Google SpaceX. Cost versus NASA. Exact words. And watch what comes up. Zoom in. Zoom in right there. What it says NXT at the bottom. A little bit lower right there. SpaceX Falcon nine rocket launches have been advertised at around $62 million per launch, while larger rockets, Falcon Heavy, can cost $90 million. But look at NASA for the same exact thing. NASA space launch system is estimated to cost $2 billion per launch. I said nearly 20 x, guys. It's more than 20 x, is what it does. Okay? On what, what he's been able to do, that. That's the part that makes this so impressive. For every one launch NASA does, he can afford to do with the same amount of money 22 times. 22 times with the Falcon heavy. Got to give these guys respect and props for what they got going on. By the way, the guy's got twelve kids, okay?

01:25:06

Yeah.

01:25:06

He's running multi, multi billion auto companies, okay? He's giving Starlink out to people that need it, okay? He's going on podcasts. He's campaigning for Trump, doing backflips, he's playing video games, he's doing customer service. Yeah, yeah. He's running x. And still he has time to do this.

01:25:28

And this is why.

01:25:29

So if anybody ever goes, I'm busy the hell up.

01:25:34

So he's doing all that, and then Keith Olbermann wants to kick him out of the country for doing all this. This is why Trump is now proposing that Elon can be, quote, unquote, the cost cutting secretary. Did you see that story right there where he said, Trump has suggested creating a new position? We're going to create a new, beautiful position and call him the secretary of cost cutting. And is this it? Yeah. Is this it right here? Check this out.

01:26:00

Dying to do this.

01:26:01

You know, he's a great business guy, actually. Do you think of him for science and rockets?

01:26:06

And every time I think he's telling.

01:26:07

Me about a new screw was developed, he's developed a new screw.

01:26:11

Screws are difficult, and it's made out of titanium, and it's so exciting. But you know what? He's a great business guy and he's.

01:26:19

A great cost cutter. You've seen that. And he said I could cut costs without affecting anybody.

01:26:24

So he will be in the cabinet? Not in the cabinet. He doesn't want to be in the cabinet. He just wants to be in charge of cost cutting. We'll have a new position, secretary of cost cutting. Okay?

01:26:35

Elon wants to do that, and we have incredible people.

01:26:39

He's running a big business. You know, he can't just say, oh, I think I'll go into the cabinet. You know, other people can. He can't.

01:26:44

But Elon's a little bit different in that sense.

01:26:47

And besides that, I want him to send the rocket up to Mars. He said hes made me a promise. Hell get to Mars before the end.

01:26:53

Of my administration, which will be long.

01:26:55

Before, hopefully, China or Russia. I created a space force, first time.

01:27:00

Thats been done since the air force. Air Force was the last. It was 81 years ago, and I did space force. And when Biden heard, oh, he left.

01:27:09

He thought it was so funny.

01:27:10

He didnt understand. And we tried to end it, and the military went down on him.

01:27:14

You wouldn't believe it.

01:27:16

It's now going to be one of.

01:27:17

Our most important things.

01:27:18

We were getting killed in space by China and by Russia. And now I think that's so important and not something that should be dismissed, because right now, what's the national debt in our country right now? $35 trillion and growing. And they just came out with another number that in 2023, in this last fiscal year, the Biden Harris administration, I think, racked up another $1.2 trillion in the national debt. We haven't balanced the budget in decades, since Clinton, basically, is the last time that we had a balanced budget. So if it takes cutting cost and having Elon Musk as the secretary of cost. Sec, sign me up.

01:27:59

Yep. Sec.

01:28:00

If what?

01:28:02

If that money, the secretary of cost cutting.

01:28:06

And now Elon's talking about that they're going to go to Mars in the next two years. And by the way, breaking news for all, for all the flat earthers and all the people out there that think we've never gone to the moon. Elon Musk said 100%. Well, that we went to the moon. But you know that, Vinnie. I know some of your friends.

01:28:22

I listen, think that there's flatter, you.

01:28:25

Know, we're faking it.

01:28:27

Me and Pat saw a movie that was a fly me to the moon, whatever.

01:28:32

But there was, I just realized Elon Musk, at 100%, went to the moon. And Vinnie saw a movie.

01:28:38

Yeah. And I saw a movie that was.

01:28:40

I'm gonna go Elon Vinnie.com right now for best information.

01:28:47

So you think we went to the moon?

01:28:49

Well, according to.

01:28:50

I don't want to. Do you think that we.

01:28:54

I'm a very firm believer that we were on the moon, yes. And when Elon Musk said it, it confirmed all my biases. Okay, well, why not? You doubt Elon Musk?

01:29:04

I don't.

01:29:05

I don't.

01:29:05

Are you doubting.

01:29:06

I doubt.

01:29:06

Are you doubting space?

01:29:07

I doubt the government.

01:29:08

What are you doing?

01:29:09

The government is involved with something. We're making a studio that. Just in case the other thing doesn't look good. And I don't. I don't. I don't trust it. But, um.

01:29:17

Yeah, you were gonna say.

01:29:19

I'll give you that right. Then when you're. When you're asked to believe something because the government said, yeah, all right, well.

01:29:24

Next thing, you're gonna tell me that the CIA had something to do with JFK.

01:29:28

Let me go to the next story.

01:29:30

Only helped. It was LBJ.

01:29:32

DOJ sues Virginia over order removing illegal migrants from voter roads. Rob, if you got this clip, go ahead and play it. Go ahead.

01:29:40

Well, that's not. I send it. Yeah, the. The governor. Governor.

01:29:45

Rob, you got it or no? Yeah. Yes.

01:29:47

Sorry.

01:29:47

Glenn Youngkin.

01:29:48

Yep. There you go. Gonna play that clip. That bill was signed in 2006, and it requires us to use DMv data where people self identify as noncitizens to then go through a process of removing them from the voter rolls if they're on the voter rolls. And guess what? That's exactly what we've been doing. It's been happening for 18 years. Democrat governors, even Terry McAuliffe and Ralph Northam used this process all the way up through into October. And that's exactly what we're doing in Virginia today, is someone walks into the DMV, they identify themselves as a non citizen, somehow or another, either by accident or by purpose, they register to vote, they're on the voter roll. We go through a process of notifying the registrar that they need to be told that if they cannot affirm their citizenship in 14 days, they're taken off the voter roll. And this is the process that the Department of Justice, 25 days before a presidential election, turns around and says, you must stop doing this. And that is unbelievable to me. I mean, here I am, a governor, mandated, and, oh, by the way, proud to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and by law, to make sure that we have clean voter rolls.

01:31:09

And the Department of Justice shows up 25 days before a presidential election and says, stop doing that. To me, this is unprecedented, and I think it represents a Department of justice that is trying to achieve something other.

01:31:24

Than fair and free elections.

01:31:25

And I have to say, my job as governor is to make sure that the election in Virginia will be fair, will be accurate, and will be safe. And that's exactly what I am doing, and I will continue to do it because the Department of Justice is wrong here.

01:31:39

Like, I hope people really understand what he just said. The Department of Justice, one of our institution, they went to them and they're suing them because like that's, is that not election interference going there and saying, no, no, no, don't take people off.

01:31:54

Why?

01:31:54

Because those people are going to be voting for your, for the Democrats? Like, Tom, isn't, isn't that just proven, the fact that all this law fair, that everything that these guys work there, all, how many people in the Department of Justice are Democrats? It seems like the majority of the people that are running it are, because look what they've been doing to Trump for all these years. And now to sue a state for taking off people that aren't supposed to be voting, to me tells me that the Department of Justice is working with the Biden Harris campaign because they want those voters to vote for them. Am I off?

01:32:23

How long has Virginia been doing this?

01:32:25

18 years.

01:32:26

Correct. And Terry McAuliffe, who pat and I met in Malibu at a very cool debate. We saw him and Ed Gillespie do a debate.

01:32:34

Wow, Tom, you're going that far back. Old school.

01:32:37

And we saw, no, actually, we saw eighties. He and Ed Gillespie, you know, were there. They're debating.

01:32:43

We didn't know. 829, 1011, something like that.

01:32:47

1112.

01:32:48

Yeah, okay.

01:32:48

Yeah, something like that. So we've seen Terry and at certain times he's a pretty intellectual guy. He's on the left. I don't agree with all his policies, but he was a governor for this was going on and he, he endorsed it and continued it. So this isn't something that Glenn just started. This has been going on for 18 years. And now the Department of Justice. I, there's your background. I boil it down to this. It's another weaponization of the Department of Justice in an election year period.

01:33:20

That's done. And Tom, how is that, how is that, Pat? Not illegal. What they're doing is freaking election interference. You're suing a state because it's not, the rules aren't, aren't set up for your. Like, this is law. And by the way, was passed by Democrat Governor Tim Kaine. Passed this law. Like, what, are people not paying attention to this?

01:33:40

This is how former VP, like, was it Tim Kaine?

01:33:43

I think so.

01:33:44

For Hillary, right?

01:33:45

Yes, Hillary's. But if you think about it, this is, imagine the states now, Tom, that they're not doing this. Like, this is just one instance where the Department of Justice is actively working for a specific party. How is that not in itself elite?

01:33:59

Your thoughts on this?

01:34:01

This is over my pay grade right now. I'm not necessarily following this story right now. So I don't want to speak on anything.

01:34:07

Here's my question to you.

01:34:08

Do you, I understand that it's civics boy.

01:34:10

Let me ask you a question, Adam. Do you think it's fair or legal for the Department of Justice to go to a state and say, hey, wait a minute. Those people that aren't supposed to be on this voter roll, put them back on. We're suing you because we want people that aren't supposed to vote.

01:34:24

We want, I honestly, I would like to see some more information on the story. It's unbelievable whatsoever, but I will, Pat, you think I will do my due diligence.

01:34:32

You think that that's, that's, that's, that's.

01:34:34

First of all, I'm not surprised the other day 60 minutes is interviewing this lady from Pennsylvania in this guy. Rob. We obviously cannot play the clip because CB's is famous for. Yeah. You know, by the way, the dumbest strategy CB's because you not allowing people to react to your clips brings less eyeballs to your channel. And what you're doing, brilliantly dumb. It's, it's, it's to do, to do something like that. So he says, well look, because it's absentee ballot, she's showing him how long it takes to fold.

01:35:07

Yeah.

01:35:08

And she says this is why it takes a long time. So we need a lot of time to count all the ballots. And it's like really? So they're telling you to your face in Pennsylvania, you know, you best win by mile. Yesterday, John Anderson, who was I believe like the former vice president of Australia flew out and I was on his show. This is the second time we're doing it together. He's always great, nice guy. And he asked me a question about do you think there's going to be election? You know, what do you think is going to happen with election? You know, all the stuff that they're going to be doing. I said, look, the answer is yes. I said, but there's two ways to play the game. There's the player that goes around, you know, calling out, what do you call it? The referee for getting all the calls wrong. Hey, you missed out and you missed this and you missed that and you missed this. The 2 seconds it took for you to look this way, the guy just passed you and scored a goal. Okay? You being distracted by the cheating just got you to go do this.

01:36:08

Where, listen, the people whose jobs are to prevent cheating from happening, like himself, youngkin and a few other guys. Trump. There's a few other guys that are doing it. Laura. There's some people that are doing this. That's their job. You know what everybody else's job is? Vinnie, you remember when the Rams won the Super bowl many, many years ago with Marshall Falk and you know who was it with? Kurt Warner. 400 yard Super Bowl.

01:36:30

Isaac Bruce.

01:36:31

That's right. Just Ricky Kroll. Ridiculous offense they had. You know, as a saying goes, sometimes the greatest defense is what offense is a strong offense.

01:36:41

Yeah.

01:36:41

So here's what my suggestion to show on turf for the people that are afraid of what's going to happen election night, here's my feedback to you, just a way to do it. You say, hey, Adam, Tom, Vinnie, let's go vote. Oh, come on, man. You know my vote doesn't matter. Let's go vote, bro. I don't want to go vote right now. I'll do it tomorrow. Let's go vote right now. Come on. I'm going to get you guys pizza tonight. Go take your friends to go vote. Take your wife, take your family, take your friends, take your neighbor, take your coworkers. Rally anybody and everybody to go vote. That has got to be the greatest strategy, because sometimes in sales, here's how it works, Vinny. Say you have 384 existing clients and you're hustling to prospect 17 new ones. Okay, sometimes we should do this. But sometimes all you have to do is call your 384 existing happy clients and ask them for referrals. The 384, if each give you five referrals, that's nearly 2000 referrals that you have. Call your existing base that's going to be voting for you. Find out who is maybe sitting out.

01:37:47

Like, how many people are saying the following, oh, my God, I forgot to register. I can't vote. And it's too late for some people, right? How many people are going to be the ones that are millions of people that are going to be like, oh, I totally forgot to vote and it's going to happen to so many people. The best way to fight this is to be super, super aggressive of rallying everybody, you know, to go to vote. That day should be the pizza day, the coffee day, bro. We go. Starbucks on me, bro. We go. Pizzas on me, bro. We go. We go get burger, bro. We go. We go watch. We go. We go. Let's go rallying. I think that is the message that isn't being given enough, the more you give the message of that they're going to be cheating, the less people get motivated to go do something because the more they're going to be like, they're going to cheat anyways. Who cares? They're going to cheat anyways. I think we need to rally people to go out there and stand in line and do the voting. And if more people come from that place, this 2024 could be the greatest vote on turf.

01:38:46

Right? The greatest show on turf. They can really show up and it could be a landslide type of a year. But the people got to show up and they got to play off.

01:38:53

Too big to rig.

01:38:54

Yeah. So anyways, next one here, Iran. Tom, I know this. Your favorite store. So Iran has a hit list of former Trump aides. The US is scrambling to protect them. So, Rob, if you can prepare that one video that's right there, Iran's threat against the us officials, including Donald Trump and those involved in the 2020 killing of Iran's Hassan Soleimani. I've taken seriously by us officials with Matt. Matt Olsen from DOJ calling it extraordinary series. Iran has issued Interpol read notices and produced propaganda targeting these individuals while some of those threatened receiving no government protection. Despite being on Iran's hit list, the Biden administration has ramped up security spreading with Congress allotting close to $150 million annually to protect former officials like Mike Pompeo, Mark Milley. However, others such as former National Security Council members Robert O'Brien, Victoria Coates and Matt Pottinger are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on personal security. They are pushing for increased government support, arguing that Iran's threat are not just idle Internet chatter. Adam?

01:39:56

Well, number one, first and foremost, Iran is our enemy any way you cut it. And then Iran is funding a lot of our allies enemies in the Middle east, namely Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis and Shia militias everywhere. So how much credibility is in this story? I would actually give it a high credibility. What it would the ayatollah of Iran tweet out recently about a robot that will be used to kill Trump. What was that whole reenactment?

01:40:26

I think it was an old, I think it was an older tweet, but it resurfaced.

01:40:29

Older video.

01:40:30

Older video. But it showed how to kill somebody.

01:40:32

Like, and you know, listen, Iran is notorious. You've talked massive America, in fact, that I even know that in Persian. There we go, guys. I know Farsi now is reality of this, but the rhetoric goes both ways. Trump, this past week was like, we're gonna bomb the shit out of you. Iran, I don't know if you can find that clip anywhere, but sometimes rhetoric is needed and. But sometimes action is needed. And Iran, don't look now, but Iran, what, ten days ago sent 200 plus missiles into Israel. Hot war, no longer rhetoric, and they're bracing for a response from Israel. So whatever's going on in the Middle east just got very real and we're going to see. You talked about what cities they would potentially bomb. What were the cities or what were the historic.

01:41:22

What is Roman?

01:41:23

Exactly.

01:41:24

If they would Israel, it would be Isfahanhe. Yeah.

01:41:27

Which is the equivalent of what's going.

01:41:29

On is a very, very historic city. Very. So is like the, you can say Paris. It's lots of history.

01:41:37

Yeah. I mean, the most interesting thing about Iran is, you know, the people are not governments and governments are not people. Do you know, of all the countries in the Middle east where Israel and America has the highest approval ratings, is amongst the iranian citizens? But if you just think about Iran and the governments, it's, we're at war. We're at odds with these people. But the people of Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran, formerly known as Persia, beautiful, smart, cultured, and they've been hijacked by this theocratic thug like regime. And I don't know, but I think their days are as close they've been to being numbered in since 19.

01:42:20

Rob, what is this? Is this, this is an older clip, though, right? Because this is from, this is the.

01:42:24

Clip that Adam was referencing where Trump says that he would bomb the shit out of.

01:42:27

This is years ago, though. This is fine.

01:42:29

Set it again. I can't find a reason go to play this again, though.

01:42:32

I'm gonna bomb the shit out of them. I don't care. I don't care. They've gotta be stopped.

01:42:41

Well.

01:42:44

I love the background, but, I mean, he hasn't, he's the non war president. I just feel like this, this upcoming administration, he's like, he's getting pushed to the point where he's going to have to do something. By the way, you talked about Israel. US deployed 100 troops to Israel, Pat. You know this, right, for the advanced anti missile system in Israel amid heightened tension. So now there are actual american troops on the ground because they have to operate the, the t. It's called the Thad battery defense. That. So, I mean, listen, it's, it's going to get to the point where, you know, were, because Israel hasn't responded at all. Right. I mean, Adam.

01:43:20

Yeah.

01:43:20

They're about to.

01:43:21

Well, look, listen, say what you want. You know, the Trump, the rhetoric. There was no war in Ukraine. There was no war in Israel. You know, China wasn't circling the wagons over in Taiwan, flying spy balloons over the country. So, you know, Trump rhetoric and rocket man and bomb the shit out of him. Okay. But sometimes you actually need a crazy person or a perceived crazy person in the White House. I'll just ask this question. Do you think she or Putin or the ayatollahs fear Kamala Harris? I'm not saying that this rhetoric is what's needed. I actually think that diplomacy is needed. And conversations and talking to the enemies. You don't make peace with your friends. You make peace with your enemies. But I would doubt that any of these people fear Kamala Harris. And the, this is the closest the world has been to World War three. And I don't know ever.

01:44:12

Rob, can you do me a favor? Now, here's the only thing. The story came out. Wall Street Journal, first thing in the morning today, 06:00 a.m. 07:00 a.m. is the following. Rob, if you want to pull this up, this is the first thing I saw when I went on WSG. I just send the link to you. If you type in, Israel assures us, and you'll see it right there. Okay, this blocked.

01:44:33

Shoot.

01:44:33

They blocked you. Rob, Rob, what did you do there? Rob? So if you look at, you can't do it. Okay. It's all good. It. So there's a story that came up today from Wall Street Journal says Israel assures us it will not strike Iran's oil and nuclear facilities.

01:44:50

Officials say that's actually massive news.

01:44:52

Now, whether they do or not is a different story. Go a little lower. Go little lower. Goals. Continue reading the article to see the pledges between you. A president Biden is Ren. Yahoo does. Is not going to let you do it. Okay, but Rob, we have an account. Why don't you just log in when you're doing. Okay? All right, so we'll do that afterwards. But, yeah, so they're saying they're not. But do you believe that Israel will listen to America and not attack those facilities? No, I don't know.

01:45:19

I don't think so.

01:45:20

I don't know. Is this one way of. We listen to the opinions of the United States, but we will make. Okay, Rob, you just had it. But we will make our final decisions based on our national interest. You know what he's saying?

01:45:31

We'll do what we want.

01:45:32

We will thank you for your feedback. But if we want to bomb these guys, we're gonna do it. We will. Right. So it's not a go a little lower, Rob, go a little lower to see what they say. Still buying on the top of that, maintain Israel has the right to respond. And I've said that in top, a strike on oil fields that could send energy prices soaring would be unwelcome weeks ahead of us, election officials have said, and hitting Iran's nuclear facilities could trigger the full blown regional war that Biden has desperately sought to avoid. Gola Lorap Americans officials have said that they expected a measures response from Israel, believing that the country did not want an out of control war. But Biden's leverage with Netanyahu has been limited as he has struggled to bring the violence to an end in Gaza and contain a wider war. By the way, his leverage with Netanyahu is done. Not done.

01:46:20

You know, why didn't he say something bad?

01:46:22

No, no. Yeah, he did. He is not a fan of his. But the point is you have no more leverage with Netanyahu. You're not going to be the president in 22 days. And by the way, if you go on VTNews AI for a lot of folks, guys, I don't know what you're doing, but thousands of you have already subscribed. Here's what I love about what's on VTNews AI and kudos to the team. Paul, Fabian, Ben and the crew. Look at this here. If you go to homepage, go all the way to the top to see where the homepage is. If you go to VTnews AI, we are 15 machine learning engineers. To build this, go to the right where it says us elections 2024. All the way to the right. If you click on that right, right yet. Click on that, Rob, you'll go to this. Go by different counties to see different battlegrounds. At the top, Rob, at the top. So right now, national is 48. She still got a lead. Go to Arizona. Let's see what Arizona shows. Go a little lower so we can see all of them, Rob. So it's Trump plus, except for Wall street.

01:47:17

So Wall Street Journal has Harris plus two in Arizona. Okay, let's see Georgia. Come on, Georgia. See Georgia. Yes. Wall street journals got Harris up to, wow. Wall street journals. Harris. Harris.

01:47:27

Weird.

01:47:28

I, yeah. And by the way, they're, they're pretty, they're pretty straight up. I mean, they're not a leftist. They're center. Sometimes even center right capitalists. Go to Michigan. Go to Michigan. Wall Street Journal has Harris up to again.

01:47:42

So the Wall Street Journal did a poll here and we put it out there for everybody to see. We don't, we don't pull punches. These are the most recent and the most notable polls we have. But the Wall Street Journal was very interesting is we indicate the sample size and the margin of error. We put it right up there for you to see. 600 registered voters versus likely voters. Other people do larger samples, Pat. They aim for a thousand. Look at all the other pollsters.

01:48:06

Wall street what's your difference between registered voter and likely voters?

01:48:09

So a registered voter is, you know, they're registered to vote, but then you ask them, says, do you intend to vote? And it makes a big difference because there's a lot of people like Obama was talking to those african american men that said, I may set this one out. There's also a lot of people of faith supposedly in the christian community say, well, I'm a registered Republican, but I don't know if I'm voting. We've heard this the last couple of weeks. What most pollsters do is they want the likely voters so that you're registered and you've voted previously and you intend to vote this time. So the likely voter polls are usually more accurate and you take out margin of error, the larger sample size. So a thousand likely voters is usually a pretty solid poll. Now, was it collected properly? Different question, but you can see the Wall Street Journal, 600 registered voters. So those are kind of weak polls that maybe have some error in them. But the Wall Street Journal went out and ran those really, really quick over the course of the last week.

01:49:01

Go to Nevada.

01:49:01

But we put them right up there.

01:49:02

Go to Nevada. So Nevada, we got Trump is up. Trump is up. Emerson has button Atlas. Intel has Harris. Okay, go to Carolina.

01:49:13

Wall street has. Wall Street Journal has him up. Bye, six.

01:49:16

Go back to Nevada. Wall Street Journal has him up by six in Nevada. Okay, good. Carolina. Go to Carolina. It's all Trump except for Wall Street Journal tie. Go to Pennsylvania, which is the one.

01:49:27

Wow.

01:49:28

New York, three. Everybody has Pennsylvania as Trump.

01:49:31

Wow.

01:49:32

This is it, by the way. That's huge. Wisconsin, Trump again. And by the way, we have this up now for those who subscribe, if you go to the bottom, Tom, if you want to walk it through with the audience to know what this is and how you can mess around with.

01:49:44

It, we have an interactive map. The map starts out right here based on the states that are pretty much locked in based on the polling. So each candidate looks in a real good position. And we leave in the tan. The tan or gold, you make the choice. So you could select a couple states, as Rob is doing here. Maybe you think you're going to go this way or that way, and you'll see the electoral college up at the top.

01:50:04

You click on pick, pick Arizona and click on it. Rob, which one are you? And I don't know which one. Go full red. Arizona. Let's just say Trump goes all redheen.

01:50:12

There you go. Now he's at 230. And now let's go Georgia, North Carolina. Rob, those look like they're Trump.

01:50:19

All right, one more. Yeah, there you go. That one as well.

01:50:21

And now Trump's at 262. Now watch what happens. Just make Pennsylvania red.

01:50:26

Come on, Trump. Wow.

01:50:28

281. And by the way, go take Arizona back to tan. Rob, watch what happens. This is why I'm saying look at the number, 270. Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. If those go Trump, this election could be called at midnight.

01:50:46

Wow.

01:50:47

But you, but if you think differently, go to the map at vTnews AI. Run your own scenarios, see how it's going to shake out. We put the power in your own hands.

01:50:56

And by the way, this thing gets updated on a daily basis. And FYI, the night of the election night, just so you know, we have, Tom and Amy will be doing interactive of counties of this time. Do you want to tell them what you're going to be showing to everybody live the entire time?

01:51:12

We will have the live state. So we're not just going to wait for the state to be called. We'll wait for the state to close the polls. About an hour later, votes will come in like, we'll go to Pennsylvania. We will show you what percent of the votes are in. Where does it look red? Where does it look blue? We'll have the counties align so we can see Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, the battlegrounds step by step by step. We're not going to make you wait till it's called. We're going to be going to each state several times during the night while Pat moderates an incredible, and I can't even tell you who's going to be there because I'll get in big trouble. But there's some really cool people that are going to be there. But we're going to be walking it through so you can see what's unfolding. And then we will have the simulcast live so you can go look at the States as they're called at VTNews AI.

01:52:02

There you go, folks. Have a wonderful day. We will do this again. Maybe just maybe this week.

01:52:10

By the way, I don't know if you knew, like, what else is going on, by the way.

01:52:15

What's that?

01:52:16

So.

01:52:19

Here we go.

01:52:19

I don't want to this happen somebody's birthday. This.

01:52:24

You're funny.

01:52:25

Yeah, I don't know if you knew about this.

01:52:28

You are funny.

01:52:29

I don't know.

01:52:30

I don't know.

01:52:30

Let me put it to this way.

01:52:32

Yes.

01:52:32

Like, to me it's 21. Fine. Then it's 30, 40, 50. I agree. At fifties, that's 46 years old, bro. It's like 46 with you.

01:52:41

Guy that has everything. I don't know. So all I could do is maybe say a couple kind words.

01:54:15

Let's hear it. So.

01:54:16

But someone freaked out.

01:54:17

I was actually very nice to you today on the podcast.

01:54:19

Yeah. You told everybody I was gay. So. Thanks, Pat, by the way, not true fake news. Or is it? Me and Vinnie, we might get married.

01:54:27

We met happy. We met gay in celebration positive way.

01:54:30

That's what I meant.

01:54:30

I saw. I told a guy the other day, I forgot who it was and they go, you know that Pat is a big horoscope guy. They said, pat is in the horoscopes. I go like big time. He asked everybody what their birthday is. Oh, you're an Aquarius. I don't know about the Aquarius. True or false? You're into the horus?

01:54:46

Yes.

01:54:47

So I took the liberty to figuring out who was born on October 18. Who are the famous people? You're a Libra. October 18. By the way, your Valentine's Day. Or the day after Valentine's Day. And then Tico's 1st. 1st on February 4. But here's some famous people. Okay. Some people you've known, you've met. But I have a prediction, too. So most famous person born on October 18. Number one, the muscles from Brussels. Jean Claude Van Damme.

01:55:16

Yeah.

01:55:16

What are the odds?

01:55:17

Jean Claude?

01:55:18

Yeah.

01:55:18

Yes.

01:55:19

And there's the Hollywood heartthrob, Zac Efron.

01:55:24

Really?

01:55:24

Yeah.

01:55:25

Okay.

01:55:25

There he is.

01:55:26

They watch.

01:55:26

I mean, look at those abs on Vinnie. The godfather of rock and roll, Chuck Berry. Interesting. And dubbears. The coach, Mike Ditka, he was the first player and coach to ever win the Super bowl.

01:55:41

Yes.

01:55:41

Interviewed him.

01:55:42

Yeah.

01:55:43

Thank you for another gay reference. Appreciate that. But let's not go. You like that one there, Tommy? Tommy with the buzz cut. Let's. We're not going to talk about the fact that Brittany Griner is also born on the October 18. We don't. And Milo.

01:55:56

Milo.

01:55:57

You mean Brian Griner. Right. Brian Gryn.

01:55:59

And the infamous Lee Harvey Oswald. Interesting. So I don't know how you're going to grapple with.

01:56:04

Had to throw that in.

01:56:06

Just messed the whole thing up.

01:56:07

I know, but this is. There it is right there. But a couple quick facts. Famous monumental days that happen on your birthday. PBD. The US got a sick deal buying Alaska from Russia in 1867. On your birthday, October 18.

01:56:26

Good negotiators. Yeah.

01:56:26

Great. Number two, the end of World War one, Treaty of Versailles. You're making peace in the Middle east, or, you know, around the world. And then your favorite people, the Puerto Ricans. The United States got Puerto Rico in 1950.

01:56:40

On October 18, Alaska and Puerto Rico. On October 18.

01:56:44

Shout out to the bariquas in La Casa. But here's my prediction. I think when all is said and done, you're going on a 40 year run. I think when they do the list. Boom, boom, boom, boom. At the end of the day, the most famous person ever on October 18 will be Patrick bed David. We'll see. But in 40 years, we have all that time. Anyway, my man, shout out to you.

01:57:04

I appreciate you much love. Today was actually a fun. By the way, I was not expecting anything today because you'll know my brain is in many different places. Okay, just. Just be patient. My brain is in many different places. But the moment I was about to wrap up and you interrupted me, and I looked at your face. Yeah, I said. And I looked at the door with the light, I said, okay. I got it.

01:57:30

You almost hit me. I saw that flinch. You know, Tom threw coffee on VNA.

And you have to come back here for this? But no, it's great. Listen, you talk about the crew here, working with the people here. It's a breath of fresh air to work with, people that you look forward to coming to work with. It's a second family that you build, and we're having that here. And 46, to me, it's another birthday, but 50, I'm telling you, 50. We're going to do something special for the 50th. It'll be. It'll be one for the record books. But thank you so much, everybody. Appreciate everybody here that's coming with the cake, babe. Thank you. Thank you. You're awesome. Appreciate you.
