  My handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here.

• 0:18Speaker 01

  You are a one of one? My son's right there.

• 0:20Speaker 02

  I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:26Speaker 01

  So Monday being back. Monday we did. We did, so we did, this is our second one being back, gang. Uh, if you're watching this from Ciutat, brace for impact because the clips we saw yesterday in Spain was, you felt like you were watching a movie. And you see the first one, you're like, what is this? And then you see the second one, and then the third one, you're like, is this really happening to Spain? It was absolutely bonkers. And then to see Trump responded to it, Maloney from Italy responded to it, their own prime minister responded to it. There's so many clips of what this guy said that what is happening right now over there is a reality of what he was asking for, saying the West needs people, the West needs migrants. And who are we to not allow them to come here?

• 1:11Speaker 01

  And by the way, this is not even part of the half a million people that he's wanting to let in. This is completely different. I saw numbers, low numbers of 39 to 49,000 and another report of 80,000, 39 people died from trying to come over. And this is a small little place in northern Morocco, if I'm not mistaken, where it's at. So we'll get into that. And then at the same time, we haven't reacted to, uh, this, this, uh, most sexiest man in the world, who is extremely famous, and he got all his assistants working on him to get different awards and money to get paid, who decided to plead the fifth. The guy that said a few years ago, I'll answer any question, any question you want me to answer. He pleaded the fifth, we're talking about Fauci, we'll get into that.

• 1:54Speaker 01

  Last night Hamas agrees to compete, complete disarmament under historic Gaza agreement. So this is pretty big deal for that to happen, both Hamas and Israel agreeing to do a few things. And then aside from that, we have a story that came about with Florida insurance, which I think is very important for everybody to listen to. Iran's escalation, uh, CNN came up with another poll, talking about the fact that a third of Democrats actually accept socialism. That's the word right. They identify. They identify as socialists, even worse. A third identifying, there's a clip, two clips of Nick Shirley with two different girls.

• 2:35Speaker 01

  One of them is like, yeah, you know, if somebody decided to, you know, uh, rape me, you know, it's okay if we let him go. You just have to watch this video to say, is this girl really saying this? Like, there's no way in the world she was really saying it. And then another girl comes back and explains socialism, pretty wild. Then aside from that, we got a couple of other stories. One of the stories is parents in Florida are not being given choice to opt their kids out of AI. It's the choice, do you like it? I kind of love it because the whole thing is what? Hey, these are your kids, Jeff, not my kids. How would you like us to teach your kids? I want to opt out. You're okay to opt in. Okay, great. Thank you, parents, because it's your kids, it's not the state's kids. Yep. It's your kids.

• 3:19Speaker 01

  And then a college professor busted 32 out of 35 students using AI on a final after they all made the same lazy mistake, which you gotta love. SpaceX gets 1.6 billion dollars. Uh, US Space Force order for 18 Falcon 9 launches, again, respect to them. And then we got a couple of other stories. LeBron James, there was a rumor circulating that he wants to, you know, shoot The Last Dance. Okay, something like the Last Dance documentary to come out, USA Today talked about it. Then his manager came out and says, that's not true, he shoots it down. I mean, who knows? USA Today reporting on it, now you want to say it's not? Maybe because the amount of, uh, you know, pushback he got.

• 4:01Speaker 01

  At the same time, Fanatics is saying that LeBron's jersey, number 23 with Philadelphia, selling a ton of stuff. And the last but not least, Tom's favorite story, I really didn't want to go through this, but Tom said, Pat, we have to cover it. It's important for people to know about this. I said, okay, let's do it. And, uh, that is, uh, let me see if I marked it off. I marked it off here for you, Tom, I don't want you to get upset. More people now smoke weed than drink alcohol and cigarettes. I think it's important for us to address that. Tom's 0-0-3. The American people need to know, uh, what's going on there.

• 4:31Speaker 03

  My weed sommelier business is going to make a comeback.

• 4:35Speaker 01

  I mean, Tom, we raised a bunch of money for Tom's business. John Cleese, you know John Cleese, the actor? Yes. You know?

• 4:40Speaker 03

  Mighty Python.

• 4:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, Mighty Python? Yeah. This guy's a fairly liberal guy, he's not a conservative guy. He comes out and says, some cultures are better than others. And he got destroyed for it, destroyed for it. Anyways, we'll talk about all that stuff here today. With that being said, gang, we had an incredible, the biggest networking event we had here on the property at the office, we'll have the highlights for you next week to show was incredible, people coming from all over the world, networking, doing deals together, we had exotic cars all over the place, jets all over the place. Uh, you know, it was exciting, but we're officially 30 days away from the vault. And if you're watching this, you haven't yet gotten your ticket. The manuals are here, 296 pages to go through, over three and a half days.

• 5:23Speaker 01

  I want you to watch this video, maybe for some of you that say, man, I just don't have a lot of time to get away. I want to tell you about a guy 11 years ago that also didn't have any time, and this guy said, you gotta get away. Watch his clip. You're a business owner, you will relate to this story, it's 2015. My business is growing, we're doing okay, we're on 10 to 15 million a year, but I'm afraid of getting away for a single day. So I decided to go to a conference at Harvard, it was three weeks long. I talked to Tom, my president, Tom's like, Pat, you gotta get away. I said, I can't get away, the business needs me, I have to be here. And he says, if you can take a few days to get away from your business, you're not a business owner. The business owns you, not the other way around. I said, you know what? I gotta step away from the business, and I did. Went, came back, made so many positive changes to the company, and then we blew up.

• 6:08Speaker 01

  So if you're watching this as a business owner, saying, Pat, I can't take four days off to go to the Vault Conference? The business owns you. If you want to shift, click on a link below or above, get registered for the Vault Conference. They'll spend four days together from August 31st to September 3rd at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Cannot wait to see you there. By the way, day one on August 31st, if you attended, those of you that attended, this will be the best networking experience you'll ever have in your life. I'm telling you right now, if you, just to go to meet and network and get other business cards, it'll be the best networking experience you'll have in your life, and you'll see why. But the only way to find that is you gotta go there. Go to Vault 2026, get your tickets, again, Vault 2026, Logan Ball, Stephen, uh, Paul, Stephen Bartlett, Dan Martel, Montana Rice,

• 6:50Speaker 01

  and others, and a surprise in the CEO session, which I can disclose to you, it's only for the people that'll be there. Go to Vault 2026, get registered, we'll see you there. With that being said, let's get right into it. Yesterday, we're all minding our own business, we're doing our own thing, we don't know what's going on. Then all of a sudden, a video goes viral in Spain. And no matter how much you're scrolling through X or Instagram, you keep seeing it. One clip after another clip after another clip, can you go to the first one of them coming through the water, the ocean? So Ciutat, which is a, uh, uh, Spain city, I want to say, in the northern part of Morocco,

• 7:30Speaker 01

  and the separation between Spain and, uh, uh, this city Ciutat on northern part of Morocco is Gibraltar, which is a very important place. And all of a sudden, you see this clip right here, yeah, play this clip, go back a little bit to see this clip. This is all Spain, okay? This has all happened within 24 hours of people coming across. And by the way, when you look at this, you don't see families, you don't see a husband or wife and kids, a lot of young men. So some are saying these were criminals that they let out, and a lot of these guys were coming through. And, uh, all of a sudden, you know, one guy's being interviewed, saying, what are you doing here? I don't know if you have this clip. Here's one guy that's being interviewed, saying, why did you come out here?

• 8:12Speaker 01

  Look of his breakdown of why he left Morocco to go to Ciutat in Spain, watch what he had to say, go ahead. We can't hear it, by the way, just so you guys know. Guys, we can't hear any of it, the whole audio, everything, we can't hear any of it.

• 8:25Speaker 04

  Can't hear the clip.

• 8:27Speaker 01

  Connor, Jake, can you guys hear us in the back?

• 8:32Speaker 04

  Oh, there's no audio?

• 8:34Speaker 01

  No, there is audio. These videos have audio. They're all over the place with audio. Okay, we'll give it to you guys for you guys to find-

• 8:40Speaker 04

  You know what this guy's saying, Pat?

• 8:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, go ahead.

• 8:41Speaker 04

  He's like, "Why'd you come here? Why are you coming here?" He's like, "Yeah, you know what? You know, there was a murder that I was, you know, implicated in and I just had to get away because, you know, I'm just trying to get out of there and try a new beginning." So you're wanted for murder and you left the freaking country that you're from? And that's what the hell that did. And this video right here, Pat? They're breaking into people's homes. They're literally breaking into people's homes. And there was one video of a lady, we want to talk about suicidal empathy? Jeff, she's standing there on this bridge, Tommy, 10,000 people are running by. She's recording and going, "Come on, come on, come on in." And it's absolutely insane. And it drives me crazy, Pat. And Tom made a great point, Pat, if you mind me talking about.

• 9:25Speaker 04

  We do a lot of events. You just talked about the event that we had here yesterday, networking. We do the Yankees one, we do all this. And I realized, I see behind the scenes, Tom, what it takes, the planning, the logistics. So my question is, and you brought it up today, who planned all this? This doesn't just randomly happen where 50,000 military aged men, Tommy, wake up and they go, "You know what? Let's go to C-U-T." Let's just go there.

• 9:49Speaker 03

  On your mark, get set, go. Who called the play?

• 9:52Speaker 04

  So that's what I wanted to ask you-

• 9:53Speaker 05

  You're saying it wasn't just a random flash mob?

• 9:55Speaker 04

  No, yeah, yeah. So Tom, my question to you is, when you see something like this, Tom, and I know we always talk about, you know, the powers that be and the globalists, what makes this happen and who makes the call? Who does this?

• 10:05Speaker 03

  Well, I have an opinion. I think, Jeff, you always have an opinion too. But when you see something like this, and you just, you have to look past the horror of it. Now, I'm horrified to see what's happening to the poor citizens that are there that had... Remember, this is part of Spain that is across the Strait of Gibraltar. You think the Straits of Hormuz are skinny. You should go see films of the Straits of Gibraltar. It's a cross from the south peaks of Gibraltar in Africa. It's a small, little part of Spain, Cuyat, which is there. But when I see everybody organized, and I look at the horror and I say, "My gosh." The second thought I say, "Okay, what triggered this? What's going on?

• 10:45Speaker 03

  Why did everybody show up with the black hoodies and the bandanas and everything in Minneapolis? It was George Floyd." Yeah, but they didn't just come down to City Hall self-gathering and then get out of control because the speaker rev them up. We've seen that in America. We've seen people come together on college campuses. They're gathering. You see the students are gathering, not randomly, but they weren't set up in a mob over there to come across. And then a speaker revs them up and then all hell breaks loose.

• 11:14Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 11:14Speaker 03

  Well, so what that's called is dynamic rioting. This was not dynamic rioting. Somebody called the play and said, "All right, Blue 32, Razor 6, Flash on 5." Which meant, hide behind here, gather here, go here. And then these people were on trucks? A truck was opening? A dump truck was opening there?

• 11:36Speaker 04

  The back-

• 11:36Speaker 05

  Sardines. It looked like a military truck with a military official kind of directing people off the truck. I mean, this, yeah, this is-

• 11:43Speaker 03

  Exactly. So I want to know who called this play?

• 11:46Speaker 01

  You think this was planned?

• 11:47Speaker 03

  Yes, absolutely.

• 11:48Speaker 04

  Because the point we're making, Pat, is like, when you guys have events, when we have events, it takes a lot. I see what Blake and Kelly and all these people are doing behind the scenes. There's no way. So, and again, it goes-

• 11:58Speaker 05

  How do you get thousands of people to gather at once?

• 12:01Speaker 04

  At one time.

• 12:02Speaker 03

  At one time.

• 12:03Speaker 04

  And Pat, I want to make-

• 12:04Speaker 03

  It's not random.

• 12:04Speaker 04

  And I want to make a quick point too, Tom. All this stuff that I'm hearing, I know I'm not pivoting, but all these people like Alex Jones and everybody, impeach Trump, kick him out. Do you understand that our border right now is the most secure? Because this reminded me of Biden's border during the Biden administration, wide open, suing Texas for putting barbed wire and all that stuff. And I just want to, I want to remind everybody this. If you, and I know the power shifts, Tom, in the pendulum. If you elect the next Democrat to come into power, this will, not maybe, not if, Tom, 100%, they're going to do the same thing and they're going to say, "Oh, it's because, you know, this is America and we have to invite everybody in here." I sent Connor a clip of Joe Biden in 2015 saying that this, this exact thing.

• 12:48Speaker 04

  He's like, "I want it to be a relentless flow of people." And he goes, "Well, I want white people." Can you play this clip? Do we have audio? This is Joe Biden.

• 12:55Speaker 06

  Muslim communities, African communities, Asian communities, Hispanic communities. And the wave still continues.

• 13:02Speaker 04

  Look, and look who's next to him.

• 13:04Speaker 06

  It's not going to stop, nor should we want it to stop.

• 13:07Speaker 04

  Look at Mayorkas's face.

• 13:08Speaker 06

  As a matter of fact, it's one of the things I think we can be most proud of. So, see, there's a second thing in that black box. An unrelenting stream of immigration.

• 13:21Speaker 04

  They've called for it.

• 13:22Speaker 06

  Nonstop, nonstop. Folks like me who are Caucasian of European descent, for the first time in 2017, will be in an absolute minority in the United States of America.

• 13:36Speaker 04

  Proud. You can stop it. Look at Mayorkas, the racist-

• 13:39Speaker 03

  Take the racial part out of it. The Dems wanted immigration as a path to perpetual majority at the ballot box.

• 13:46Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 13:46Speaker 03

  They are getting more than they bargained for. And when you say the Democrats, "We need to split it in half." There are independent Democrats that are shocked that what has happened. There are independent Democrats, listen to what Bill Maher said. Listen to what people that we've debated on this stage here have said, that they look at it and say, "Wait a minute, this is communist, this is DSA." And then look at the DSA infiltration. So when you say that, Vinnie, I love your passion, I agree with you, but remember to split that there is a cancer forming inside the Democrat party, the DSA. And his comments here look like they're linked to it, but all he was looking for was ballot box majority.

• 14:24Speaker 04

  100%.

• 14:25Speaker 03

  And he buffooned his way into this disaster we had at the southern border.

• 14:30Speaker 05

  Yeah, it's not, sorry. I'm just saying, say, this isn't just Democrat. This is, again, we're watching Spain, we're watching it happen in Europe, we're watching it happen all over the place. This is a leftist movement. It's a global leftist movement. That's why when people use the term "globalist," we have to identify exactly what we're talking about here.

• 14:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, no-

• 14:45Speaker 05

  And it's exactly what you said. The idea here is conservative and conservative and center-leaning voters have been an impediment toward socialist takeover, socialist ideals. And so the idea was, we need to import voters who will vote with us. Therefore, we can implement our-

• 15:02Speaker 01

  So let's go through a couple things here. So let's show the clip of the guy, I think the audio is now working, of the man that was saying he left Morocco because he was charged. Watch this clip here, folks.

• 15:17Speaker 01

  Why don't you stay in Morocco? Why don't you decide to come to Spain?

• 15:20Speaker 07

  Yeah, I came to Spain because I want to change my life. I have problems in New York. What problems do you have in Morocco? There's problems that the people who died, because they can't sit there because they talk bad things about me, you know? I killed a person and I saw another person, you know? That's why I came. You had work, you lacked work. Yeah, I have a good job.

• 15:49Speaker 04

  So basically, my colleague was dead. They implicated me, so I got to get the hell out of there.

• 15:53Speaker 03

  And I had a job at the beach teaching people to swim, which I assume means lifeguard or attendant.

• 15:58Speaker 01

  Yeah. So the quality of people that are going there is insane. You know, we don't know what it is. There was a guy, I think it was 39 people that died on their way there, the number. And when you hear, the biggest problem here is with Pedro Sanchez. If you can pull up any clips that I've sent you of Pedro Sanchez, the one where he says, he disagrees with Elon Musk and he says, yeah, this is the one right here. I want you to watch this. He made this reaction to Elon Musk, I believe. And watch what he had to say. And then I want to give you some stats and concerns that he brought up. Go for it.

• 16:31Speaker 03

  What's the date here, Pat?

• 16:32Speaker 01

  This is recently. This is in June. This is about a month and a half ago, a month. Go for it. Say we've gone too far. This is Elon. That we're going against the current. But I would like to ask you, when did recognizing rights become something radical? When did empathy become something exceptional? Spain is above all a welcoming country. And this is the path we choose: dignity, community, and justice. This is dignity? Okay, so no problem. So now, when you're looking at this, these are the things he said. "Spain needs to choose between being an open and prosperous country or a closed-off, poor country." It's simple as that. He said that in October of 2024. Number two, he said in June 30th of 2026,

• 17:16Speaker 01

  "Without immigration, Spain would lose 19% of their GDP by 2050." How does he come up with that? Nobody knows. Here's also what argument he made. He says it'll be down GDP 22% by 2075, 90,000 bars closing, again, fear porn, 50,000 school classrooms disappearing, 220,000 farms, about one-third disappearing. He's making these claims. And FYI, do you know of the 80,000 people that they say invaded Cuyat? And let's just say the number is 49 to 60,000 migrants in a span of 24 hours. Do you know what percentage of the population that is?

• 17:58Speaker 01

  It's 60 to 70% of that place's population. So let me explain to you. Overnight, this population, majority Spaniards, overnight is majority. Now Muslims coming from Morocco, not legal immigration, pure invasion. You see the videos. This is not like it's a regular thing. At least 34 people reportedly died during the crossing, according to the latest official estimates. And here's what the president had to say about it. Go for it.

• 18:30Speaker 08

  Did you discuss it with him?

• 18:32Speaker 06

  I did, briefly. He's going to have to mention it because it's killing your country.

• 18:38Speaker 09

  Mr. President-

• 18:40Speaker 06

  Killing you.

• 18:40Speaker 08

  He wants to talk to you.

• 18:42Speaker 06

  He's killing your country.

• 18:43Speaker 08

  He wants to talk to you.

• 18:44Speaker 06

  And not him. I mean, we'll have to see. I know Starmer did very little about it. And they're coming from all over the world. They're coming from Africa. They're coming from South America. They're coming from different parts of Asia. And they're invading Europe. I mean, they're invading Europe. It's an invasion. And the UK is a prime suspect.

• 19:05Speaker 10

  On top lanch, Senator John Corbett of Texas-

• 19:08Speaker 01

  By the way, while you're watching this, it's important while you're watching this and seeing what's going on, Italy's Maloney sends a tweet out, okay? Massive. I mean, it went viral all over the place. If you just want to go to my handle, just go to my X account and you'll be able to see it.

• 19:25Speaker 01

  She sends a tweet out explaining her concerns of what's going on here. A lot of people are saying they don't know if she's gonna do anything or not. If you can just go to hers first, please. Thank you. Uh, the images coming from Siuta are striking and demonstrate once again that uncontrolled illegal immigration poses a concrete threat to the security of European borders. I have spoken with Interior Minister Mateo. Italy will not stand by and watch. We are convening the relevant bodies and following these meetings. We are prepared to intervene with extraordinary measures to defend the borders and the safety of citizens, including the suspension of a Schengen area with Spain on illegal immigration. We will not yield an inch defending the borders, stopping human traffickers, and ensuring effective reparations will continue to be the line of this government.

• 20:10Speaker 01

  Go a little bit lower. I posted a comment below and I said Italy exit is your best long-term solution. Period. A lot of people say, well, how did Brexit work out? Brexit didn't work out because their last seven prime ministers are, you know, Globalists. Globalists and they're not coming from a place. But if Maloney can stand guard and stay strong and defend their great country with a rich history, they can, you know, do something about it. I'm gonna send this clip to you. I talked to Dominic Targinsky from Poland yesterday because this was my concern. My concern, Vinnie, was the following, and, uh, Tom, Jeff, I'm curious to know what you guys think about this. My concern was, okay, in Europe, if you have a passport, you can automatically use that passport to go where?

• 20:55Speaker 01

  EU passport. EU passport? The blue passport. Of course. You can use that passport to go where? Anywhere. Anywhere. So now, so now watch this. So if this is phase one, is invasion. Yes. Phase two, what do you think is the likelihood of Pedro Sanchez finding a way to make these guys legal residents in the next few years if he's able to? He can't get rid of them. If he does, then what happens next? So then they have passports. Then what happens to EU? Then it's not an invasion of Siuta or Spain. This is an invasion of EU. Yes. This is an infiltration. So I asked Dominic Targinsky and I said, hey, Poland, you keep telling me you guys have the lowest unemployment, lowest rape, lowest this, lowest that. What is Poland doing about it? He says, I'll send you a clip. Watch this. This is what he said.

• 21:39Speaker 01

  Support illegal immigrants, Spain, Poland, bottom. Deport illegal immigrants. Lowest unemployment rate, lowest rate. Low, I mean, look, look at that for themselves on what they have going on. They deport illegal immigrants. How the hell are you gonna get rid of 60 to 80,000 people that just got to the island? Go ahead and show me how you're gonna do it. You know, America tried to do when Biden let in, what, 10 to 20 million people? And the moment Trump tried to do it, what happened? I, I called this. I said, it is gonna be such easy content for the left to use and say, look how ice cold, you know, ICE is and Trump is, cold-hearted people, and someone's gonna get killed and ICE is gonna stop. It's gonna be impossible to get rid of 10, 15, 20 million people.

• 22:23Speaker 01

  And that's, by the way, 10, 15, 20 million people coming through is what? Uh, 3% of our population? 3% of population? Now imagine if it's 60 to 70% of your population within 24 hours. Yeah, we're gonna be able to do anything about it. Adam, your thoughts on this?

• 22:38Speaker 08

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us.

  Well, in America, we have every right to be concerned because this is Spain's Biden moment. I don't know if you saw what the Babylon Bee said. They said, "Spain turns to experienced border czar Kamala Harris for help with the migrant crisis." Because here's the reality, because essentially, we're not really worried about Spain. We are worried about America. When we see tens of thousands of people pour through the border, we're shocked. We can't believe what's going on. How many people came through the border during Kamala's reign as the borders czar? Over 10 million people? So imagine this on replay in America over and over and over again. And Vinnie touched on it with the suicidal empathy.

• 25:30Speaker 14

  When Trump came down that escalator 10 years ago, and he said, you know, Mexico, when they come from Mexico, they're not sending their best. This is what he's talking about. This is what he's talking about, about killing your country. And if we don't learn from this in America, we would end up like Europe. Thank God, we have someone like Trump that shut down the border on day one when he came into office in 2024, or else we would be potentially this leftist, open-border ideology here in America. So Vinnie's absolutely right. You may disagree with Trump on a few different things, but thank goodness that he shut down the border and America is way better for it.

• 26:07Speaker 04

  Because, and Adam, great point. If, if they won, if Kamala won, and whatever cheating that they tried to do, whatever, what number would we be at today? Where would we be at? 25 million? 20, like, and, and this is the thing that bothers me. Like, what are we going to do as Americans, as patriots, Tom, to stop it if it happens again? And I swear, and I'm, and I've said this once before, I'm saying it again. We would, we would have to, as Americans, Pat, go there and stop them. Because these, what, Spain doesn't have weapons, they don't have guns. This is a, an invasion by your leadership. And I'm sorry, this is the republic. If we wanna save the republic, when these people come in and they come to power, which they're going to, it's inevitable. What are we gonna do as Americans? And I promise, on this podcast, I'm going to go to, like, we have to go there and fight.

• 26:51Speaker 04

  We have to, or else what, what are we doing? And then what do we do? We let it happen, and then a year down the road, two years down the road, when our women are getting murdered and raped, what do we say? Oh, the, the Democrats. It can't be like that. Because these people are helpless, Tom. In Spain, what are they doing? They drink wine and eat bread and, and dance in the streets and, and, no, and they watch the bulls run in the streets. They should let the bulls, like, loose in the streets to go after these people because it's purposeful invasion by your leadership. And if your leadership is behind it, Pat, what do you do? What do you do?

• 27:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, and by the way, this picture, this picture right here, I don't know if you've seen this Pedro Sanchez picture with...

• 27:24Speaker 04

  Yeah, there you go.

• 27:25Speaker 01

  Alex Soros. I don't know if the audience is able to see it or not. I'm only seeing Adam's face if you guys are showing it. You know, the, the question then becomes, who's behind it? Who's winning? Who's celebrating? Who's not? What could it turn into? For me, you know, can you pull up a poll? And by the way, the history of, if you go a little bit deeper into history, there's a massive, massive history of, you know, Morocco Muslims taking over Spain, you know, 600, 700 years when they invaded. And then Spain took it back over with the Catholics that came in, and there was a crusade-like a type of a thing, Tom, correct me on this, that took place. And then Portugal got involved. And Portugal used to have Siuta, it used to be Portugal City, if I'm not mistaken.

• 28:09Speaker 01

  And then there were some treaties that happened that Portugal needed Spain, and then they gave it to Spain, and then Spain came in. And if you look at the city, it looks like you're in Spain. And it's down the street from Morocco. And so the argument a lot of people make is, well, you know, this is really Morocco and Muslims, and they did this to us, and they're like, no, this is how it works. This is Spain. So there is a rich history. Do you remember in Argentina where there is these allegations they made that after they held the flag when they beat England? Falkland Island, you know, the whole thing that they did? Oh, yeah. They said, that's the reason the FIFA pulled up to Argentina, and they said, you're either gonna get a 10-year suspension from competing in the World Cup, or you guys can't play the best. And that's why the clips showed that Messi was emotional.

• 28:53Speaker 01

  Some of the players were crying, let's just go do our best. Then the greatest player of all time gets zero shots. The entire team gets zero shots in the World Cup finals against Spain. And one of the most accurate players of all time is missing all the shots on everything, kinda weird. These are very sensitive topics. This to Morocco and Spain is very sensitive. Which means what? I said this yesterday. If you wanna go to Twitter, I said this yesterday. It's events like this that could lead to an all-out civil war. An all-out civil war. Spain could be headed into a civil war. This isn't just a border dispute. Spain, Spain spent centuries under Muslim rule before Christian kingdoms fought for generations to reclaim the peninsula.

• 29:35Speaker 01

  Morocco will dispute Spain's control of Siuta and Melilla, uh, Melilla today. The past has a way of resurfacing itself. So this could get very nasty very soon. And if it doesn't, let me say this, if it doesn't. If it doesn't, it's gonna sound weird the way I say it. It means the conservatives who know this is horrible for their country and their nationalists, Spaniard nationalists.

• 30:02Speaker 01

  They're either afraid. They have. They're worried what's gonna happen with the backlash. They're already planning on leaving. Some may even use the word they're cowards to defend with values and principles that they know is right. They don't have the means to do so. And simply unfair. Unfair. One bad leader and philosophy can destroy a once great nation. The people that I know, the Spaniards, they're tough, they're strong. They love their country, they're proud, they just had the biggest moment. In the last 50 years, winning the flipping World Cup, this should be a celebration, not an invasion. This is the gift the Prime Minister gives to their country? I don't know.

• 30:47Speaker 01

  I don't know what's gonna happen, but uh, there's a lot of emotions behind something like this. Tom, Jeff, I'll come to you guys and I'll get to the next story. Go ahead, Tom.

• 30:54Speaker 03

  So I have four fast points. Number one, if they end up with an EU passport, they can come to the United States without a visa and then they just throw the passport over their shoulder. And then hide like the rest of the illegals in America. Uh, so there is a path for some of the worst and the most organized of these to get that uh, that passport and go wherever they want, basically. First. Second, looking at Poland, I'll tell you, it's a couple of things about Poland people don't know. There was issues with the um, uh, old version of Russian passports. Old versions of Russian passports did not have biometrics, you know, it's the higher levels of confirmation of who received the passport and who didn't.

• 31:32Speaker 03

  And Poland said, we are no longer accepting at the border, the old Russian passports. You have to have the biometric passport. Because they were fearful that within the people with the old passports, it was easy to counterfeit, that there could be people that they don't want in Poland. Uh, next, Belarus got a little too hot for them. And so they absolutely locked down the border at Belarus. And the article I read said that they only took the most desperate refugees. But they had basically put it on lockdown because what was going on in Belarus was too intense. That is a well-run country, Poland, with sensible things, still able to give a, an authentic refugee, a shelter.

• 32:15Speaker 03

  And doing the right thing. Now I'll take you to the, to my last point. The weakest border in the EU destroys the whole thing. Destroys the whole thing. And what Germany did and then regretted with all the boat people that made it to Germany? And now what Spain has done, your weakest border is everything. What was Texas doing was screaming and trying to put its own people down on the border till the Biden administration say, "Take your Texas marshals and your Texas Rangers off that border." And they took the bulldozer and took down the barbed wire. Because it, and by the way, because it wasn't enough that things were flooding into California. It wasn't enough that people, things were flooding right into the highway that runs right up to Tucson, Arizona. It wasn't enough.

• 32:58Speaker 03

  They wanted it. So the weakest border in the EU was Germany, but look what happened to Germany years later. Conservative victories. They're still not out of the woods, but Germany is waking up. And now Spain opens the border. And the last point I'll make, Pat, is an economic one. If you listen to what the, the, the um, Prime Minister was saying. Here's what I heard. We are gonna lose this. We are gonna lose this many people. We are gonna lose this. It almost sounds like he wants the low-cost workers to come in. So he can compete with the Vietnams in the Philippines for manufacturing and build, build tax and revenue off that.

• 33:40Speaker 03

  If you listen close, it's almost like, he doesn't just want globalism, he wants Spain to be able to compete. It used to be the Eastern European countries, Pat, had lots and lots of people willing to work in semi-safe factories. And build things for the rest of Europe.

• 33:58Speaker 01

  Terrible strategy.

• 33:59Speaker 03

  It's a terrible economic strategy, but I see that in his words.

• 34:02Speaker 01

  You're actually giving him credit by saying that.

• 34:05Speaker 03

  I'm not giving him credit, I'm saying it's an evil plot.

• 34:07Speaker 01

  I know, but hear me out. But no, no, it's not an evil plot. The way you just put the last part. Is your way of saying, that's his economic philosophy of this is the way of working labor and being able to compete with others. But I don't even think logic exists with guys like this. I don't think it exists. I don't think this guy's thinking about it from that lens. I think he looks at the world in a very different way than you and I do. You're, we're giving him credit to think he's thinking like an economist.

• 34:34Speaker 03

  But he loses Spain and he creates Vietnam.

• 34:36Speaker 05

  Yeah, well, yeah, I agree with you. I think what, you know, that's just the economic justification they're gonna throw out there. They don't, they don't believe that for a second. Um, I think what's disheartening about this is that this is a democratically elected government. That is choosing to do this, which means there is significant support for this kind of thing. And that's the thing I think we need to focus on.

• 34:55Speaker 03

  Right.

• 34:55Speaker 05

  Is why do so many people support this? Um, yeah, I, I don't, nobody's falling for the argument that Spain is gonna, is Spain's GDP is gonna be cut in half by 2100 if this, nobody falls for that. What really happens is, as we'll talk about here, I think, the toxic empathy. We watched that clip of the one guy who maybe was implicated in a murder. People on the left will, will hear that guy's story and say, oh my God, that poor guy. He was coming here for a better life. It's really that sort of a perspective that drives all this. Their perspective is the global South, for lack of a better term, is, you know, to use President Trump's word, a hellhole, a shithole, right? And so it's understandable why those people would wanna come to the North.

• 35:37Speaker 05

  And so, the problem that we have is convincing people to overcome their toxic empathy when they have no experience of the downside of their toxic empathy. For them, it's all just distant, uh, you know, images on social media. They don't have to live with the consequences of their, um, the consequences of their actions and their support. So the problem here is we have democratically elected governments, and I don't mean Democratic Party necessarily, but democratically elected governments.

• 36:01Speaker 01

  The process.

• 36:02Speaker 05

  That are absolutely choosing to do this, and they're disingenuous in their reasoning for it. But they, they know, they know very well the type of people who will support this, these programs. And they are doing everything they possibly can to pump it up. Like you said, ICE enforcement. Should have been a no-brainer, but the Democrats took that and said, we've got tons of social media content. It was a layup.

• 36:20Speaker 01

  Easy, you know.

• 36:22Speaker 03

  And we also fumbled the execution.

• 36:23Speaker 01

  I'll say this, because a lot of people criticize me. And I get their criticism, and they'll say something like this. Go back to Iran. Look at you. You, you, you came here because of immigration. What if there was no immigration for you? Fair, let's go through it.

• 36:42Speaker 01

  We applied to get green card in the early eighties.

• 36:46Speaker 01

  We stayed in Iran till 89, six weeks after Khomeini died. We were able to go to Germany, from Germany we came down here. By the way. Do you know the level of gratitude I have for Germany and America? I am grateful. America didn't need to do anything for me. America owes me nothing. Nothing. I came here as a gift. When they gave it to me was, what can I do for America? Not what I can take from America. How can I contribute? So I did my best. Went to the military, got out. And built businesses, created jobs, just to say thank you. Because I couldn't have done this in Iran.

• 37:30Speaker 01

  But don't get it twisted. America didn't have to do this. If, if, if America said, Pat. We don't want you from Iran. I actually understand it. Why? If somebody's coming from Iran and you've seen all the chaos that's happening after Shah and Khomeini and all these guys are killing a bunch of people. I don't blame you to not want people to come from different places to protect your country. I don't blame you. And if you got it, I got lucky. This is why 10 years ago, eight years ago, one of the funniest things happened with my kids. Is, this is, it, it was here. So five and a half years ago. Uh, one night, my son tells me, Dylan says, Daddy. Why don't you have a middle name?

• 38:11Speaker 01

  I says, Daddy, I just don't have a middle name. He says, but everybody in this house, including your dad, has a middle name Derek. I have a middle name James. Patrick has a middle name Gabriel. Why don't you have a middle name? I said, I don't have a middle name. He says, if you did have a middle name, what would it be? I said, Lucky. He says, why Lucky? I said, because I'm the luckiest man in the world. Might be, you know, this is, you're six, seven years old, you're naive. It's like. Daddy, you're the luckiest man in the world? I said, I'm the luckiest man in the world. You didn't know that? He says, come on, Dad. The next day he goes to school. The teacher reaches out to us. Saying, your son is going around telling everybody, do you know my dad's the luckiest man in the world? He believed it. Guess what? I believe it. We didn't come like this. We didn't come invading like this.

• 38:55Speaker 01

  We waited patiently and did it by the books. And if they didn't allow me, they have the right to not allow me. That's why I'm lucky. So this messaging that people jump in and all, and by the way, culturally, I stand for everything. The American, you know, freedom of speech, constitution, all of that culturally. We love what America stands for and the culture fits. By the way, John Cleese, the actor from, uh, what's the?

• 39:22Speaker 03

  Monty Plath.

• 39:24Speaker 01

  He said something recently that got him in trouble. Here's what he said. He said, "I see I am being ritually insulted for my support of this man." He's talking about Rupert Lowe, of what's going on with Britain. Uh, "The uneducated call me racist. I'm not a racist, I'm a culturalist. I believe that some cultures are better than others. I prefer cultures that do not advocate stoning."

• 39:49Speaker 05

  Pedrasty.

• 39:50Speaker 01

  Pedrasty, wife beating, female genital mutilation, and beheading opponents. Call me old fashioned. And can you do me a favor? Go a little bit lower to just read, uh, are there a couple tweets or is it the same? Okay. "I'm not a racist, I'm a culturalist. I believe some cultures are superior to others. Um, I prefer cultures that do not encourage wife beating, pedophilia, uh, uh, clitor."

• 40:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, when they.

• 40:12Speaker 03

  Female genital mutilation.

• 40:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, constant inflation of the male ego. I'm also aware of the difference between Islamo skepticism and Islamophobia. Notice that hate does not come into this, only moral preferences. Can you choose the first one? And let's go lower. I just want to read the tweets from people. I want to know what kind of tweet response he got below. "Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims." Okay, so that's one of the tweets. "What bad has mass migration done to your, uh, to immigration to Europe ever done to us? The raping, what? The, oh yeah, go a little bit lower, concur, old fashioned, common sense. Go a little bit lower. Which of these following is morally wrong? Hitting your wife, slavery, marrying a child, eating bacon."

• 40:55Speaker 01

  So they're, obviously they're mocking and I mean, this is funny and all this stuff and we'll have fun with this. People will have fun with this. People mock us as well on some things that you go through. But it's very simple. What cultures clash? Who comes in that makes the place better? If it does, great. If a culture enters a community, Vinny, say I don't tell you what the religion of this community is. Okay? Every time a hundred people, from every time a thousand people from this culture move into your city, rape goes down, unemployment goes down, job creation goes up. From this specific community, do you want more people from that community?

• 41:32Speaker 03

  Absolutely.

• 41:33Speaker 01

  You would entertain it, right? And say, yes, it's okay when they come from there. Do you care what religion they are?

• 41:38Speaker 05

  No.

• 41:38Speaker 01

  Do you care what color they are?

• 41:40Speaker 05

  No.

• 41:40Speaker 01

  Do you care what? No, all you care about is statistically. Now, let's take any other religion. Every time a thousand people from that community come, rape goes up, crime goes up, theft goes up, fear goes up, job creation goes down, entitlement programs goes up. Do you want more people from that community?

• 42:00Speaker 05

  No.

• 42:01Speaker 01

  What if that community is Christians?

• 42:03Speaker 05

  I still don't want.

• 42:04Speaker 01

  That's the point. What if that community is Assyrians?

• 42:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, I don't want.

• 42:07Speaker 01

  What if that community is white? What if that community is black? What if that community is Asian? What? You don't care about where the community comes from. All you care about is, you came, did the stats go up or down? Down. Is it bad or good? Horrible. We don't want any more people from this community. That shouldn't be irrational or un, that should be very common sense for people to say, yeah, I kind of, that makes sense to me. So Tom, for you, when you see John Cleese say something like this, how do you process that?

• 42:34Speaker 03

  Well, I, I process it that he is bravely coming out to, uh, display common sense. And when it takes bravery to, to put common sense in a, in a post on X, you know something's wrong. Because there's going to be people with those, uh, blue and yellow vests from the, uh, thought police that knock on people's doors in Britain and say, "Excuse me, did you say this on, uh, on, um, uh, social media?" Now, I don't think they're going to come after him for this, but he doesn't go have to go more than about an inch more and the thought police are going to come. But when I see John Cleese and he says, "Restore Britain," what he's really saying is, "Restore peace. Restore what we were, restore what was there."

• 43:16Speaker 03

  I can remember going to London in the nineties, in the eighties, and there was plenty of Indian people around. There was plenty of Pakistani people around. And it would be funny, you would look at them waiting for a certain accent and they had British accents because they had effectively grown up there. And so there was a time when this, the dilution wasn't bad, where it was, hey, people would legally immigrate. And the one part you left out of your story, Pat, is the Germany chapter was at a US Air Force base going through a step-by-step background check process before they let you come to the United States. So it was a, it was the law. You followed the law. And here are people just coming in, leading to a guy like John Cleese saying, "Call me old fashioned,

• 44:01Speaker 03

  but I don't want any of these bad statistics. I want to restore Britain and I'm supporting this guy and you all are coming after me for it." I think that's horrible.

• 44:10Speaker 05

  But that's the other half of this, right? The first half of it is the empathy. The other half of it is they've demonized British culture or white culture or American culture. So the people who support this.

• 44:20Speaker 03

  To justify influx.

• 44:22Speaker 05

  Both sides of it. You're the bad guy. Who cares if your community gets worse? I don't care about you, you're an evil racist bigot. The guy from South America, I love that guy. He just wants a better life. That's the argument they're making and a lot of people are falling for it. So John Cleese comes out and tells the truth. People don't listen to John Cleese because he's an evil white guy, right? That's the game here. They have demonized the old way of doing things, the old world. They've said it's irredeemably racist. And because it's irredeemably racist, you deserve everything you get, including being replaced as a voter, as a part of the economy. That's the game here.

• 44:57Speaker 03

  You know, the president does speeches in State of the Union and then he'll bring people in, Pat, and they sit up there, they give medals to people. A young man that was suffering from, um, terrible disease was given a honorary badge to be a secret service or a law enforcement. Remember all this? Do that. I think it's time for our president to bring three regular people from Poland, three regular people from Germany and say, "I'd like you to say a few words to the American people. Germany, how has it worked out? Oh my gosh, 10 years ago, these people started coming in. Here's what happened, it was bad, now we're voting the other way." Because somebody has to show, uh, America, and it's not going to be the news media, someone has to show us the perspective so that we have it.

• 45:41Speaker 03

  And then have the three people from Poland talk about, "Hey, you know, it's safe here and people can legally immigrate here, but we keep a tight lid on it." Americans have no perspective, Pat. And the perspective comes too late as the German conservatives are finding out.

• 45:55Speaker 01

  You know what else I would add to that outside of perspective? Gratitude. Gratitude. Short-term memory. People forget on, at any point, anything can go. At any point, anything can go and you can't be entitled and lack gratitude. Those are the two things. Adam, I'll come to you and then I'm going to get to the next story.

• 46:13Speaker 14

  Well, this is why so many people say the following, which is, "All I want to do is preserve Western values." You know, we get, we get criticized so much for the West colonizing the East or colonizing Africa. And there's so many whites with white guilt and white shame. They've been indoctrinated in schools, that white, white, white, bad, bad, bad. But when you flip it, the challenge that I have is, it's a two-way street. These days, you go to China, you go to Japan, you go to Saudi, you go to Iran, you go to Venezuela, you go to Colombia, they have their culture there. And they say, "This is our culture." Like, do you, can you just go to Saudi and set up churches? But no, you could go to, uh, London and set up as many mosques as you want.

• 46:57Speaker 14

  How many, how many Muslims have basically taken over London? And I know my friend Pierce Morgan disagrees with this kind of stuff. The challenge I have is the two-way street. If you can do this to me, but I can't do this to you, that's the problem that I have. And white people with their white shame and their white guilt unfortunately feel so bad of what was done in history that they neglect all the good that was done from Western civilization and all they do is focus on the bad. So I encourage them to figure out the good that we've done in society, not just the bad.

• 47:29Speaker 01

  There's a, there's a time, Adam, that, so you sit there with your kids and you argue points with them because you want to teach them logic. Like, you know, I said this, uh, two weeks ago when we were in New York and one of the operators, we were in Vegas two days ago with one of our clients. Uh, but I said this in New York. I said, "As a leader, this is how I work. With my wife, my kids, and my executive team. This is how I work. I'll come to you and I'll say, 'Guys, what do we do with this? You know, I'm, I'm 80, 20, I can go any direction. You know, what do we do with this? Jeff, what do you think? I think we need to do this. So what do you think? Do you agree with what Jeff just said? I don't. Jeff, do you agree with, what's your rebuttal to, to, okay, Tom, what would you? And I'm like, "All right, so what do we want to do?" And then we make a decision, right?

• 48:13Speaker 01

  Then I'll come in and I'll say, "This is a 50/50 issue for me. Let's debate it out." Then I'll come in and say, "I'm an 80/20. I'm 80% there, but I need the last 20% to get there. Help me get to 100%, 100%." About 90% of the decisions we make is that way. But let's say the 5 to 10%, you know what I'll come and say? "I don't want your input. This is what we're doing." So it's not like, "But Dad, no, no, I didn't ask you for your input. Babe, I didn't ask you for your input. I'm telling you, this is what we're doing as a leader of the household. Hey, uh, uh, uh, executive team, I don't need your feedback. Here's what we need to be doing next." Tom, boom, boom, boom, boom, right? I think this is one of those 100% type of decisions.

• 48:56Speaker 01

  That it needs to be, "No, we've already won. We made the argument. And it took us 250 years to make the argument, the case that America is the greatest country in the world. You guys have thousands of years of chaos and a 56 group of people that got together and they went up against the biggest bully." Took over and now we are massive. Those guys are struggling. They forgot what they were all about. They used to be the face of the entire world, running the financial cap of the world. You want me to apologize that our way of living and thinking and developing is not the right way of doing it? Why are we apologizing? No, no. It's 100% issue. There needs to be more conviction on the way we're presenting that. By the way, story came out, I don't even want to get into this. I just want to say what America did.

• 49:39Speaker 01

  More than 200,000 migrants have taken Trump's offer to pay them for self-deporting. If you remember last year, the DHS raised the cash and sent it from a thousand dollars to $2,600 in late January.

• 49:51Speaker 03

  And you can get the app even on burner phones.

• 49:53Speaker 01

  Yeah. After temporarily raising it to 3,000 during the 10-day period in December, migrants who sign up receive free airplane flights in addition to their exit bonus. A total of 132,000 people have left through US programs and another 70,000 waiting to leave. Okay, waiting to leave, according to Axios. These numbers reflect a 180% increase over 72,000 self-deportations reported by, in March by CNN. So this is one of the ways of doing it, but imagine you have to pay people to leave. Hey, get out of here. We don't want you here. $30,000 for the flight. Go to different countries. So this is one of the methods that America is doing. Let me get to the next story. Fauci, okay? How many days ago was Fauci, by the way? Was it Wednesday? Was it Tuesday? I don't know what day it was, but we didn't do a podcast.

• 50:38Speaker 03

  Was it Tuesday or Monday?

• 50:39Speaker 01

  It was one of the days. And all of a sudden, Tom and I are on a flight back. Wherever we were, we were on a flight. I don't know where we were. We could have been, oh, we were coming back from Tamptons? I don't know where we're coming back from. Tom says, Pat, I'm telling you, this guy's going to plead the fifth tomorrow. He says, I'm telling you, he's going to plead the fifth for everything tomorrow. I said, I said, you think he's going to plead the fifth? He doesn't have to do anything. He's got the preemptive, what do you call it? Pardon. He's got immunity. He's going to have protection from the people previous to him. He knew, you know, he was guilty and he knew this day was coming and he's going to plead the 50 the entire time. And then all of a sudden, we wake up and a highlight reel of Josh Hawley showing the fact that any question he asked, this is how Fauci was going to answer.

• 51:23Speaker 01

  We got a handful of clips to show you and then we'll get into it. Go for it. We need audio, guys. Can you go back, please?

• 51:32Speaker 15

  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, nothing says honesty like taking the fifth, huh, Doc? Let's try something. What day of the week is it today?

• 51:42Speaker 16

  On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

• 51:53Speaker 15

  What color tie are you wearing?

• 51:54Speaker 16

  On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

• 52:03Speaker 15

  What color is the carpet in front of you?

• 52:05Speaker 16

  On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

• 52:15Speaker 15

  Let's just get one. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

• 52:17Speaker 01

  So this is one clip. Now, one of the guys went scorched earth on Fauci. And when I tell you this, dropped an F-bomb to his face. He says, I was a business guy. I was running my businesses. And then when I saw what you guys did, I'll let him tell this story. He does a better job at explaining his position. Go for it.

• 52:37Speaker 09

  It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the United States Senate. Here I am, sitting in front of you six years later, saying, who the fuck do you think you were for doing that?

• 52:52Speaker 03

  Look at Fauci's face, though.

• 52:55Speaker 09

  It is a total disgrace what you did to this country. And if my Democrat colleagues are standing there defending you, I hope the voters of the United States of America watch the clips of every one of you doting on a guy who was more interested in being a celebrity than saving American people. I will make it my mission to make certain that every single one of those Republicans, Democrats who did that will see that clip over and over and over again. Because defending, there is no defense of what you did.

• 53:36Speaker 09

  You may have had a 50-plus-year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace.

• 53:45Speaker 01

  And by the way, I think there was a moment later on when he's walking out, he goes into the elevator, he says, Fauci is a full-on POS. I think he said that the clip is out there. You may be able to find it, but there was a moment where Fauci and others, probably some of the Biden administration, instructed him to have your lawyer speak on your behalf. Until Rand Paul's like, no, no, no, no, no. This ain't going to fly. I'm here to talk to you and not your lawyer. I don't know if you have that clip ready or not. This is one of the best clips of Rand Paul asking, this is not it. There's a clip of his lawyer in there, Fauci's lawyer, sitting next to him. And Rand Paul says, I need you to get up and please escort this man out of here. Is this the one? Go for it.

• 54:24Speaker 17

  You're not recognized. You're not recognized. If you are unruly, you will be removed from the proceeding. You are not, you are not recognized and you, you are not recognized, sir. Sir, you are not recognized. You are not recognized. Security.

• 54:42Speaker 01

  The audacity.

• 54:43Speaker 17

  We'll, we'll, we'll hold off, but you will respect these proceedings. You were told not to sit at the table. You insist on sitting at the table and we told you you would not be recognized. You are not invited here for testimony, sir. You are being disruptive. Would you behave this way in a courtroom? No, because the judge would put you in jail. I can't do that today, but I can have you escorted from the premises. So I would say, sir, sit quietly and don't say another word. I said, sit quietly. You are not recognized. Another word and you're gone.

• 55:18Speaker 08

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side.

• 57:30Speaker 09

  So, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to hear what the attorney has to say.

• 57:38Speaker 01

  Can you please show the clip that I texted you this morning that shows him being escorted out instead of showing the 17-minute clip? Thank you. Is this the one?

• 57:47Speaker 20

  His attorney has been gagged.

• 57:50Speaker 04

  They already kicked him out.

• 57:51Speaker 20

  Yeah. Thrown out of this hearing room.

• 57:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, okay, so this is after him being escorted out. Yeah, so.

• 57:56Speaker 20

  But not in a show.

• 57:58Speaker 01

  So he eventually says, get out. And by the way, you know what people start doing? Everybody starts clipping, clapping for the guy to get out. So again, we can show so many of these clips. The one thing that I saw, which was kind of weird, was the following. I don't know if you have that one about, did you guys see the clip that was posted by libs of TikTok of the pardon that was given to him, how it was dated? Have you guys seen this one? Did you see this one, Vinny? Watch this, Tom. I don't know if you saw this one or not. Fauci's pardon is dated back from 2014. Do you know what else happened in 2014? The NIH awarded a grant to study, but bat coronavirus at the Wuhan Institute of Virology really makes you wonder. Please click on the, on the

• 58:43Speaker 01

  executive grant of clemency. Zoom in a little bit if you could. Zoom in a little bit if you could. Are you able to? It doesn't allow you? Okay, if you zoom in, it tells you right there that for any offenses against the United States, which he may have committed or taken part in during the period from when? January 1st, 2014, through the date of this pardon arising for, or any manner related to a service as Director of N I National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Why did they take you back to 2014? Biden wasn't president in 2014.

• 59:20Speaker 03

  Weird.

• 59:20Speaker 01

  Why would they take you back there? Did you see this one, Tom, or no?

• 59:23Speaker 03

  Yes, I did. It's very clear why they went back there because the date was being put on this thing by the people that are supporting Fauci, which is people that were in the pharmaceutical industry and the people, the senators and the people that authorized the appropriation to fund NIH, which money then went to the Wuhan lab, which was being done for research on gain of function. So it's clear. They're like, you know, somebody said to the president, yeah, you know, the date on this, we need to go back to 2014. Why? No reason. Pat, that's exactly why. What he said, the 2014 is an admission by the people that were around Fauci and that were lobbying for and that were helping

• 1:00:06Speaker 03

  put this clemency and this pardon in place that they knew back in 2014 what they were doing. That's what it means.

• 1:00:13Speaker 04

  But Fauci asked for it, though. But think about it, Tom. Fauci was the one trying to go for clemency. He was begging. He, this is, this is Fauci going, hey, you're going to give me a pardon because we were all in on this together. I needed to go back to 2014 because you know, I know that they're going to come after me. Not because, not, not because of lawfare like they did with Trump. This is actual, Pat, he's a monster. And I'm using that word like, I have so much to say about.

• 1:00:38Speaker 01

  Monster is appropriate. Go, take the lead, go for it.

• 1:00:40Speaker 04

  Because I'm, besides, Connor, I'm going to go to one thing, just to show you who Fauci is a human being, because I'm going to go in. In 2020, do you find the rat thing? Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh published a study where they grafted scalp tissue from aborted babies onto mice and rats, causing the human skin to remain alive, even to grow fine human hair on babies. This was funded by part of the N I A Infectious Diseases while Fauci was its director. This is who Fauci is, Pat. Just to give everybody a little, a little glimpse on who this guy is when I say that he's a monster. Okay, I want, I want everybody to understand that. So the point I want to make too is, Pat, one thing, the autopen that we just saw in that document, what happened? President Trump even has it as Biden's photo.

• 1:01:25Speaker 04

  Where's the investigation? Where's the, prove that it's wrong. That's the only way to.

• 1:01:28Speaker 01

  What did Trump say? Trump said they can't do anything about this or they're not going to do anything about?

• 1:01:32Speaker 03

  He respected the, the pardon, so.

• 1:01:34Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:01:35Speaker 01

  Why do you think he's saying that?

• 1:01:36Speaker 03

  Because there probably is no real legal route.

• 1:01:39Speaker 01

  Or it's two things, though. Can you play the clip? Can you play the clip, please?

• 1:01:43Speaker 23

  Do you think that the DOJ should reopen the investigation to the autopen specifically pertaining to Fauci?

• 1:01:49Speaker 24

  Well, the only thing you can really think about is the autopen because the most powerful thing the president has, they say, is the power of pardon. So he was pardoned by Biden. And I, I respect that. I, I know how powerful it is. It's a very powerful. They say it's literally the most powerful thing a president has. Now, whether or.

• 1:02:11Speaker 01

  So, so here's to all the Democrats who are defending Fauci. You have one of two choices. And Vinny, I want you to finish your thoughts. One choice you have? Call out all the BS with Fauci and how he was protected. If you don't, when the president self pardoned himself and all his family members, this is how much moral authority you have to say anything. Nothing. Period. And you better believe it's going to happen. Because as much as everybody is like, well, you know, they were going after Hunter Biden and all this other stuff. These guys took money from Boris. There's so many different documented things that was being said about, you know, actual things that you can see.

• 1:02:54Speaker 01

  What is the likelihood of the next president, say AOC wins? What's the likelihood of them going after Trump and his family and his kids and his grandkids?

• 1:03:02Speaker 03

  Hundred and one percent.

• 1:03:03Speaker 01

  A hundred and one percent. So don't lose your shit when the day comes when he pardons everybody and his family and you can't say nothing about it. So either mock and hold Fauci's feet to the fire and have your argument for pardons not being good, or number two, you don't have anything to say in two and a half years.

• 1:03:23Speaker 04

  And shame on every single one of those Democrats. Like, this is an old wound that they, beyond the wound, beyond the gas, this is a gaping freaking cannonball wound to your stomach. They, they expect us just to roll over and, and forget about it. Think about this, if you're listening to this, your business was ruined. Okay? And I know this, Pat, because there's somebody in our, in our room over here in production who couldn't see their grandfather, who was dying, that was calling, crying to his family members that they couldn't clap, come see me, come see me. They wouldn't because of this guy. Because of Fauci and he was in charge of all of it. All the churches closed down, the liquor stores were open, and all you guys are sitting around not doing anything? And what boggles my mind, okay, is people that are still

• 1:04:06Speaker 04

  sticking up for this freaking monster today, like Chris Cuomo, who I know that they're best friends and he grew up with him, knowing him. You, your boy knowingly knew, okay, about everything about COVID, the origins, lied about the mask, lied about the social distancing, lied about the vaccine deficiency, lied about transmission, natural immunity, lied about ivermectin, hydrochloroquine. And even when they knew this was helpful, knew it was helpful, they lied about it. And Chris Cuomo, you got long COVID, whatever that means. Your boy Fauci knew that ivermectin and all that stuff could have helped you. Okay, but in not, nope, but you guys went on CNN and embarrassed everybody. You called everybody and made fun of them and they even made, CNN made Joe Rogan look green. Okay, and the one clip that pisses me off, it's not this one, Connor.

• 1:04:51Speaker 04

  Go to the one, everybody has clips going around and Chris Cuomo's is going around, especially with the Dave Smith debate. What pisses me off, Connor, could you go to the one that, the other one of, that I sent? Of Chris Cuomo basically calling the pure bloods, the people that didn't get vaccinated terrorists. I want, could you play that beginning clip, Connor?

• 1:05:13Speaker 04

  Okay, well, while, while he looks at that, while, while he goes and finds that, I want to make a point. I, I wonder how many children, how many kids, Pat, four years old, five years old, six year old, are suffering right now from myocarditis because they heard the clip that he's looking for where a father probably was like, well, I don't want to be a terrorist. Let me jab my kid with this experimental drug. This is, this is the number one clip that infuriates me.

• 1:05:39Speaker 01

  This one?

• 1:05:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:05:40Speaker 01

  Go for it.

• 1:05:41Speaker 25

  Think about this, in a world of threats and tyrants, terror, you know what our biggest enemy is in America? Our fellow Americans.

• 1:05:51Speaker 25

  The pandemic is dispositive proof of that. The number of new COVID cases going down.

• 1:05:57Speaker 04

  You can pause it, goes into it and basically tries to make fun of everybody, not make fun, but bash anybody that had, that's getting vaccinated, vaccinated, okay? And no apology. Okay, unlike Stephen A. Smith, Pat, I keep getting more respect every single day for Stephen A. Smith. He, he apologized for, for calling Kyrie Irving selfish for not taking the vaccine. That's a man. That's a real man saying that I messed up. Like, I messed up and I'm sorry. So it just drives me crazy. This cannot be something that we just look over like James Comey's 8647 shells that nobody's even talking about anymore. That's nonsense.

• 1:06:36Speaker 04

  People died. Americans died. Americans are going to suffer forever, Pat, because of this people and they pushed it. And there's no apology. And Fauci sits there, Pat, untouchable. Untouchable, knowing that nothing's ever going to happen to him.

• 1:06:50Speaker 03

  You know what, though, Vinny? I think there are a couple of things here. I mean, number one. This isn't, this is an open wound that needs to be dealt with in a lot of different ways. Emotionally, but also politically, legally, a whole bunch of, people are fucking tired of no accountability. No accountability. So that's, that's number one thing. But how, what struck me about the testimony with Fauci, especially the fact that he kept invoking the Fifth Amendment. Did you look at his face? It looked like the guy was gonna cry. The reason the guy was gonna cry is, I mean, just the diary stuff alone. This is a megalomaniac who did not want to sit there and be berated by a bunch of people he thinks are beneath him. The fact that he did sit there and take it to the point was almost like torture, watching the guy.

• 1:07:31Speaker 03

  Because he knows, if he opens his mouth, he's in trouble. So what we're saying here is there is something here and Fauci knows it. The question is, how do we get it? That's the question.

• 1:07:41Speaker 01

  So the part to do it, and FYI, Jeff, Vinny, incredible breakdown. And shout out to Stephen A. Smith and Cuomo eventually, all he has to do is just come out and, you know, say it. I don't, I don't think it's gonna happen.

• 1:07:53Speaker 03

  Americans are forgiving. If people would say, you know, we screwed this up, a lot of more people would be okay.

• 1:07:58Speaker 01

  Your key word, the most important word you use is the open wound. That's exactly what it is. It's an open wound with the American people. So what can you do about it? What they're realizing is federally, you can't do nothing about it. But statewide, you can. So I don't know if you guys saw what Florida's planning on doing. Did we have that story in here or not? Maybe I just missed the page of it. They're looking at.

• 1:08:25Speaker 03

  Addendum three.

• 1:08:26Speaker 01

  Addendum three. Okay. So this is the one. Addendum three is, did I mess this one up again? Or, okay, addendum three. Addendum three, Florida investigating Fauci for potential physical and monetary harms to residents during COVID following Senate hearings. So Florida realized, maybe the federal government can't do anything about it, but we can. We can do something about it. So the Attorney General, James Uthmeyer, which is a heavyweight, this guy's gonna get used to this guy's name. He's gonna, he's gonna do some stuff. Announced he is opening an investigation to Dr. Anthony Fauci's following Fauci's decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment right and not answer any questions during Wednesday's congressional hearing. Fauci's lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable.

• 1:09:06Speaker 01

  My office is launching an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci. It's past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID. Uthmeyer wrote, our next inquiry will focus on what Fauci knew, when he knew it, and how he misled the American people and will examine the physical and monetary harms to Floridians that may have resulted from his deceptions. Uthmeyer cited revelations published by Rand Paul's Fauci's internal notes written on the government computers during his time in NIAID. One February 2020 entry shows Fauci privately discussing the case fertility rate of point two to point three with other CDC Director Tom Frieden. Yet a month later in congressional testimony, Fauci pecked mortality rate at 1%, calling it 10 times more lethal than the flu.

• 1:09:48Speaker 01

  Ted Cruz said Fauci deliberately lied to the American people over and over again and should go to jail. So this is the part where if, if someone wants to go after, by the way, hours afterwards, him and his wife were caught walking outside and people were saying things to them and he was telling them to F off, I think.

• 1:10:07Speaker 04

  He said F off to, to someone that was talking to him.

• 1:10:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, he was on the phone with somebody and telling them to F off. So Tom, what is the likelihood that if Florida goes after him, a state goes after him, more states go after him, that eventually it comes down to something like closing that open wound?

• 1:10:22Speaker 03

  I now think that we are crossing 90% chance that he will be convicted of something somewhere.

• 1:10:28Speaker 01

  You're at 90%?

• 1:10:29Speaker 03

  Now, let me tell you, convicted of something somewhere. And I'll tell you why I think that. And by the way, I think it would be.

• 1:10:36Speaker 01

  Pull up the calcio numbers as well.

• 1:10:37Speaker 03

  He's 85 years old, or 82 years old, one or the other. I think he's 85.

• 1:10:42Speaker 04

  He's old.

• 1:10:43Speaker 03

  Yep. So.

• 1:10:44Speaker 01

  He's a healthy 85 year old though, respectfully. Yeah.

• 1:10:47Speaker 03

  Correct. We've been vaccinated multiple times. I'm surprised he's still with us. The, um, the whole, the reason I say that, I think he will be convicted under a plea deal by someone, somewhere. And I believe it'll be one of the states that gets angry enough about the open wound. They still have number one. And number two, Pat, this hearing did, look at that, up to 32, uh, 32%.

• 1:11:13Speaker 01

  Can we pull up the latest report that's active? Can we pull up the latest report of being active? Because, and that thing was at zero, then went to 10 when you showed me, Tom. Then 20, now 32%.

• 1:11:28Speaker 03

  So I think there will be a procedural, um, uh, success by Rand Paul in that he will be found guilty in committee of contempt of Congress, number one. Number two, I believe one of the states and Florida is laying the groundwork, and by the way, Florida has not been idle on this. Ron DeSantis, God bless him, he has been behind the scenes with the state attorney general, preparing the case on behalf of the people of the great state of Florida, and he's been on that. So this is, Florida didn't just wake up with this hearing. They've been on it, you know, because Ron DeSantis has been taking shots, you know, since, since he was the bold governor that stepped out and said, UV beaches?

• 1:12:10Speaker 03

  I'm not closing them. I'm not doing it, you know? If there was a moment Florida, but then he stepped back from it. And so I believe a state like Florida is gonna get something and they're gonna get it to the end and he's gonna have to plea. The minute he pleads, I think other red states will follow. But I'm at 90% that after those hearings and the contempt and everything we see, there, somewhere it's gonna happen. Now, do I, it is a long shot to get what Josh Hawley and Rand Paul are after, which is the pardon was overbroad and nonspecific. Not auto pen, Vinny, but I would love to get that because that nullifies it.

• 1:12:50Speaker 01

  Yeah. Can we look at this real quick? Can you go a little bit higher? So check this out. So who will be charged with a federal crime? Charge, not, not convicted. Charge, which is obviously, go, go, exactly. Go a little bit, is that the top list? Is Kathy's at the top? Who do they have? John Brennan, 46%, Letitia James, 31, Jack Smith, 29, Cassidy Hutchinson, 25, Ilhan Omar, 25, Peter Strzok, 22, Fauci, 17%.

• 1:13:17Speaker 03

  But up nine.

• 1:13:18Speaker 01

  And Newsom is only at 16% right behind Fauci. That is unbelievable. Yeah, he's up nine. Moving up. And how much money has been put up on this one here on calcio? Go a little bit lower to see if it's real or not? No, just go to the bottom left. It'll show you. Close up, close up Fauci. Go all the way to the bottom left. Close up Fauci. Yeah. Go a little bit higher. I think it's like 2.2 million. Uh, okay. So, so, yeah.

• 1:13:43Speaker 03

  Maybe go to the top and see the chart.

• 1:13:44Speaker 01

  Refresh the page, refresh the page. It'll typically, if you go a little bit lower without going past.

• 1:13:49Speaker 03

  1.2 million bucks.

• 1:13:50Speaker 01

  1.2 million bucks. Okay. All right, Vinny.

• 1:13:52Speaker 04

  But, and here's, here's my question. Well, I have two things to say. What, what's to stop the next Dr. Fauci from happening? Cause it just seems like you could come in, lie and deceive everybody. A million people could die. You could sicken all these freaking people. Have all, by the way.

• 1:14:08Speaker 01

  Tell me what you mean by that.

• 1:14:09Speaker 04

  Like, my, here's my thing. If another president comes in that's a Democrat and a virus comes out and it leaks and does whatever, and they have, they have connections to it, all the president has to do is preemptive pardon him and he'll walk free.

• 1:14:21Speaker 01

  Oh, but here's the difference. So to me, you know, uh, to say the next guy, you're going three steps ahead. Step number one is accountability now, which what happened Tuesday or Monday, whatever the day was, is a phenomenal good start. This is good. Let's be optimistic, Vinny. Let's not be pessimistic. The good news is what? This is increasing. More people feel the way you do. There is accountability. States are taking, taking action. This is positive. Future looks bright. This is good. When we get smarter now, cause remember, previous to this pandemic that happened, what was the previous one? How many years prior to that one? How many years prior to?

• 1:15:01Speaker 03

  SARS?

• 1:15:02Speaker 01

  Yeah. Meaning we're not trained on this. This isn't something that, you know, you going to become a president overnight. President Trump had no clue what was going on with the COVID, if you remember that.

• 1:15:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, who was?

• 1:15:13Speaker 01

  The whole pandemic is like, uh, everybody was kinda going through it. So I think this is a good sign that they're going through this. Of course, these guys are gonna have that kind of power to do a lot of different things. But now the American people know to trust the next person less and hold them accountable in a different way.

• 1:15:28Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 1:15:29Speaker 01

  I think this is a, this is a good direction. This is progress. Let's give credit to progress.

• 1:15:33Speaker 04

  Can I make one, one, a fun fact? Fauci quietly joined the scientific advisory board of an mRNA startup called Vaccine Company. You could look this up. In 2023, shortly after leaving government. So in September 2024, Biden administration awarded the company a reported $28 million government contract. Then, two months ago in May, Eli Lilly acquired the company in a deal worth up to $1.55 billion. So the company has kept a low profile, but its CEO, Susan Silberman, previously served as Pfizer's global president of vaccine, which is, you know, kinda weird. So my question is this, how much did Fauci make

• 1:16:14Speaker 04

  from serving on that scientific advisory board? And did he receive any financial benefit from the Eli Lilly acquisition? Those are, those are, there's so much, Pat, connected with money and favors and crazy.

• 1:16:26Speaker 01

  The more they talk about this, the worse it is for him.

• 1:16:29Speaker 03

  And the less Fauci, that's, again, that's my point. The fact that Fauci did not put up an argument. It helps the, it helps exactly what Pat's saying is that, you know, people need to hear the truth. And part of the problem with the truth is that you always had Fauci who was out there with his scientific speak, scientism speak. And so it was very difficult for people to get the truth. The fact that he could not say a word, he wanted to. He was in tears. They are tearing, the fact that he, he realized, if I say anything, I'm putting myself in jeopardy. I'm not putting up a defense for everything that I did, even though it's all out there now. It, that, that is a huge positive because it helps turn the tide. People who were counting on Fauci to come and say some kind of defense for everything.

• 1:17:08Speaker 01

  And he didn't.

• 1:17:09Speaker 03

  He didn't.

• 1:17:10Speaker 01

  Yep. That's actually.

• 1:17:11Speaker 03

  In one of the most pressure filled situations, most important moments in this entire post-COVID, uh, post-COVID, whatever you wanna call it, fiasco. He said nothing.

• 1:17:20Speaker 01

  That's, and, and there's clips of him saying, that ask me any question.

• 1:17:24Speaker 03

  I'm gonna, I'll set the record straight.

• 1:17:26Speaker 01

  That's right.

• 1:17:26Speaker 03

  He said nothing.

• 1:17:27Speaker 01

  Adam, thoughts?

• 1:17:29Speaker 14

  Well, I've got a lot of thoughts on this. The number one thing is Fauci failed America. There's a lot of common sense of Americans who maybe were on the fence with Fauci. And after that debacle, sitting in front of the hearing, when he pleaded the fifth over 100 times, one, two, three, four, five, fifth reminiscent of the Chappelle Show, the average American goes, unbelievable. This is insane to me. So I have a couple of F words for Fauci. Because if this was a report card, Fauci would get an F. And there's a lot of people that want to say F Fauci. But here are my F words for Fauci failing America, which has the highest mortality rate during COVID of any country in the world. So another F word is fake news. It was trust the science, trust the experts. He was self-dealing the entire time.

• 1:18:12Speaker 14

  How much faith and trust did the American public lose in the institutions? Completely eroded. Fauci's finances, you just touched on this. How many millions of dollars did Fauci enrich himself during this? All because he wanted fame. He became the most famous person in the world. In his little diary, he's getting interviewed by Julia Roberts, the pretty woman, and he's the sexiest man in the world, all about fame. Another F is John Fetterman, who seems to be one of the only sane Democrats at this point, basically saying, you fooled me, Fauci. You got me. I actually believed in you. I trusted you, and you fooled me. And the last thing is this, is the future. You know what we say, the future looks bright?

• 1:18:53Speaker 14

  Bernie Moreno, the congressman out of Ohio, said this, 50 years you've been here, and it all ends in disgrace, which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes of all time, which was Jack Bogle from Vanguard, when he says, when I die, I hope my name and my legacy stays intact. At the end of the day, Fauci, his name is going to be shamed, just like the Hitlers of the world, the Madoffs of the world, the Stalins of the world. How many of those do you see?

• 1:19:19Speaker 01

  And you know, you know, that's such a point.

• 1:19:20Speaker 14

  Fauci will be known as a fraud.

• 1:19:21Speaker 01

  Such a, such a good point, because it's not like your last name is Jones, or Jackson, or Johnson.

• 1:19:28Speaker 14

  Yep.

• 1:19:28Speaker 01

  It's just like no one's, for the rest of your life, anybody's last name that's Fauci, you're going to bring you back to the season.

• 1:19:35Speaker 03

  Great point.

• 1:19:36Speaker 14

  Yep.

• 1:19:36Speaker 01

  For the rest, what a, what a great point. For the rest of your life, we're going to remember Fauci, and we're going to have, there's going to be negative link to you. Negative link to you. And that's his legacy of what he did. Well deserved of what he did to all the people.

• 1:19:51Speaker 04

  Can I ask you one quick question? I know you want to move on. If the Democrats, like if Fauci was, I'm sorry, if Fauci was a Republican, and a Republican president gave him a preemptive pardon for crimes against humanity, what would have happened? What would have happened to the country?

• 1:20:09Speaker 01

  It's not about what would have happened to the country.

• 1:20:11Speaker 04

  What happened to him?

• 1:20:12Speaker 01

  You know, I went back and looked at who has gotten preemptive pardons. You know who the list is?

• 1:20:17Speaker 04

  Who?

• 1:20:17Speaker 01

  I think Ford gave it to Nixon, if I'm not mistaken. Tom, is that correct? Can you fact check me real quick? Who are the highest ranking officials that ever got a preemptive pardon like Fauci got? I think Ford gave it to Nixon. There was the Secretary of State for President Bush after, no, Oliver North, Iran contra, I think Senior, he gave it to somebody. I may be wrong, but just check it. Richard Nixon, yeah, he got it from Ford. Okay, so that's because of all the Watergate scandals. Mark Milley got it from Biden. Fauci is the third highest ranking one. There you go. 1992 Secretary of Defense. Casper Weinberger.

• 1:20:59Speaker 01

  And then you had Bush gave it to also Robert McFarlane, National Security Advisor. And then Biden also gave it to Liz Cheney. Fauci is the first person in his position to get the preemptive pardon like the one that he got, because they knew this guy was guilty.

• 1:21:13Speaker 03

  And by the way, compare COVID to the Iran contra, because Cap Weinberger

• 1:21:17Speaker 01

  Tom.

• 1:21:18Speaker 03

  And Robert McFarlane were both pardoned

• 1:21:21Speaker 01

  Nothing.

• 1:21:21Speaker 03

  As part of Iran contra.

• 1:21:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, nothing. And by the way, as crazy as it sounds, fun fact, weird fun fact, four and a half years ago, when I was looking at buying this property, the 11 acres, the guy that was a realtor took me and I met with the guys that knew about the property. This was a CIA DOD property where Oliver North did his Iran contra on this exact 11 acres that we have. And the director of the airport had to come and tell me this was a CIA DOD property. It's funny, when I brought Bustamante and a couple of their CIA guys are always telling me, this looks like a perfect airport for CIA. It kind of was many, many years ago.

• 1:21:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, our gardener said he dug up four AK-47s and a skull of a contract.

• 1:21:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, I mean, what do you think we make our money from?

• 1:22:01Speaker 03

  Maybe it really happened.

• 1:22:02Speaker 05

  Any burn bags or anything?

• 1:22:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, that's funny. Okay, let's go, let's go to the next story.

• 1:22:05Speaker 03

  This is CIA starter set.

• 1:22:06Speaker 01

  Next story I want to get into is Iran escalation tying with what Hamas just did. Iran launched renewed missile attacks as US and Saudi strike Tehran-backed militia in Iraq. And just the moment you think this is slowing down, it just gets nastier and nastier. And so Iran launched a barrage of missiles at American forces in the Middle East. This is July 29th, on Wednesday, as the US partnered with Saudi to strike Tehran-backed militias in neighboring Iraq, killing at least 20 fighters and six Iranian advisers. The flare up on multiple fronts after several days of a relative calm raised the risk of a return to an all-out war and underscored the difficulty of winding down a five-month conflict that has jolted the world economy.

• 1:22:49Speaker 01

  Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it fired ballistic missiles at Jordan's Muwaffak Salty Air Force Base, a key US military hub. Jordan's military said five missiles were intercepted with no casualties. Fox News reporter said Trump told them, use vulgarities that the US will hit hard. And then at the same time, Trump launches US airstrikes, we saw that. So Tom, seeing this, Snyder, both of you guys, seeing this, any progress being made? Or is it just getting nastier?

• 1:23:21Speaker 03

  No, it's, I don't see progress now, and I don't see statements of progress coming from the president. The president is very exasperated by the negotiations. He's had great people negotiating. He's exasperated. And now we've got this military, and by the way, it was Adam that said, I don't trust the ceasefire, because I don't trust any paper that's signed by Iran's side. And Adam was right. And here's what happened. They started doing, and I, I'm concerned about the escalation, because now, and I'm going to, I'm going to flip this to Jeff, who's got something on this, and he found that I hadn't seen yesterday. And that is, you know, you've got these missiles now, it's like, how is Iran getting itself back together?

• 1:24:05Speaker 03

  It's aiming for Jordan, it's aiming for Saudi, and you've got the rest of the Middle East going, holy crap, this is getting worse. And Pat, that's the thing that I see. I see that other people are getting drawn into it, and it's not just Big Brother, the United States going after Iran. At some point in time, the other people that knew Iran was the bad guy on the block, but just kind of tolerated it and kind of held it in check. It's like, how are they getting after it? How are they firing these missiles? Where are they getting the, the navigation and the targeting intelligence? We know the Russians are whispering to them and giving them targeting intelligence, because the Russians are still pissed off that we were whispering to Ukraine and giving

• 1:24:46Speaker 03

  Ukraine targeting intelligence to launch rockets the other way into Russia with that war. And so now the Russians are back on the other side. Turn about this fair play, comrade, because I will tell the Iranians, where all of your shit is in Jordan.

• 1:25:00Speaker 05

  I think, you know, I'm going to disagree a little bit, Tom. I think there is progress. I think it's, it's difficult to see, first of all, that Saudi Arabia joined the US again. The more that, more pressure that's applied, the more you see these Gulf states, instead of trying to bend Trump's ear to end this thing, we got to get this thing over, we got to get oil flowing. Instead, they're saying, you know what? We're actually going to join you, because I think they see incremental progress that maybe we don't necessarily see. I think the strategy here, again, they have not been clear about the strategy or what this is really about. I still think it's about China, the Cold War. I think the ultimate red line here is not the nuclear program, it's the control of the Strait of Hormuz for the long run. And hopefully, the fall of the Iranian regime, which I still think is possibility.

• 1:25:44Speaker 05

  And I think that's why the Saudis and the UAE too, the UAE is heavily involved in this on the US side too. I think what the idea here is, instead of an all-out conflict, instead of just invading Carg Island and going from there, bombing the crap out of everything, this is a pressure campaign. And the pressure campaign, whose goal is to separate the IRGC from the civilian leadership. Because like you said, the civilian leadership will say one thing that looks like they're trying to find an off-ramp to the war, and then the IRGC will start fighting back. I think there is a pressure campaign to drive a wedge between at least those two factions, if they're not other factions. And it's working. It's working to the point where the Saudis say, you know what? Maybe we're going to join the side who wins here. And I'm not saying this is going to be done with imminently.

• 1:26:28Speaker 05

  I'm saying that it's, it's, it does appear to be fractioning the Iranian leadership. As much as they can possibly have an Iranian leadership. And that the ultimate goal here is to separate those two completely. So the IRGC loses all of its ability to affect the outcome of the war, the outcome of Iran. And eventually what emerges, at least what we hope emerges, is a more moderate faction of Iranian government that is actually trustworthy enough to make a peace deal. I think that's what they're working toward, and I think they are making progress to it. It's just painfully slow and incremental.

• 1:26:59Speaker 03

  Where are those missiles coming from, do you think?

• 1:27:02Speaker 05

  That's China. I mean, we all know it. Let's just say it. Let's just, I mean, there was reports all over the media yesterday, day before, I forget what it was, this week, this week, that the Chinese are supporting shoulder launch, or they're likely to be supplying shoulder launch missiles.

• 1:27:16Speaker 03

  And three weeks ago, we found that they were sending the raw material, and we named the chemical on this podcast, and we had evidence from receipts that we brought forward. Remember this, Pat? That China was sending the dry chemical that's necessary to build, oh, rocket propellant. It literally has no other real commercial use other than to make rocket propellant. And there's big cargo ships full of it were heading to Iran. So what's going on?

• 1:27:41Speaker 05

  Well, Trump made that, maybe a couple of months ago, he said that, you know, when there was a ship full of military goods or hardware or, you know, precursor material.

• 1:27:46Speaker 03

  Military goods.

• 1:27:47Speaker 05

  Right.

• 1:27:47Speaker 03

  Precursor material.

• 1:27:49Speaker 04

  Are you guys talking about the same China that sent, because they're sending missiles there? Is this the same China that sent COVID here in 2020? No, I'm being that same country?

• 1:27:55Speaker 01

  It's a different kind of a missile.

• 1:27:56Speaker 04

  But, yeah.

• 1:27:57Speaker 05

  But it's the same idea, right?

• 1:27:59Speaker 04

  But it got here. It's killing, yeah.

• 1:28:00Speaker 01

  It's not like they hate America or they want to be bigger than America.

• 1:28:02Speaker 04

  Not at all. No, not at all.

• 1:28:04Speaker 05

  It's a cold war. In a cold war, you expect your adversary to do everything they possibly can to oppose.

• 1:28:09Speaker 01

  Shouldn't be surprised.

• 1:28:11Speaker 03

  I'll give you a closing point on this. Our arms were being tested in Ukraine when we sent some of our newer stuff, ground stuff over there in Ukraine was testing against Russian soldiers. Now China is testing some of their stuff against us through Iran.

• 1:28:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, let me, let me get to the next story. And Adam, I'm going to come to you with this one here. Hamas agrees to complete disarmament under historic Gaza agreement. This is Fox News. Trump announced a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas.

• 1:28:36Speaker 05

  Again, progress, right, Pat?

• 1:28:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, I agree. All other armed groups in Gaza brokered by his Board of Peace alongside mediators, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. Today, the Board of Peace reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step towards lasting peace and security, Trump said on Truth Social. Multi-phased agreement represents a major milestone in implementing Trump's 20-point plan and will pave the way for a new Palestinian government in Gaza with a new police force established with support from international stabilization force. Israel forces will withdraw from the region as the disarmament process moves towards structured phases under the agreement. Gaza will finally be able to hand, hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its people, Trump said.

• 1:29:22Speaker 01

  The threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7th will not be allowed to rebuild. The Board of Peace said the next phase will focus on implementation, with Gaza beginning a phased transition towards full authority while accelerating efforts to establish the rule of law, improve security, and advance humanitarian conditions. I have a lot to say on this. Adam, your thoughts on this story? I know you're in Israel right now, so maybe a part of it I want to get is while you're out there and this announcement's breaking, how are people also reacting to this story? Are they optimistic, pessimistic, or on standby?

• 1:29:50Speaker 08

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com.

• 1:31:55Speaker 14

  Well, I'm in Tel Aviv right now. I think the, the feeling on the ground here is cautiously optimistic. They've been living under missiles and rockets for years now, so they don't exactly trust Hamas. But here's the good news. Here's what I've seen firsthand. Going to Jerusalem, yesterday I was on the border of Syria. I was on the border of Lebanon. I was at the border of Jordan. I walked by the Sea of Galilee. I've seen the following here in Israel. Here's a good example. I've seen Jews, Muslims, and Christians living in peace and harmony within Israel. And I think there's a, there's a relative crossing of the fingers and hoping that something can happen in Gaza and potentially in the West Bank. The coexistence here is actually magical.

• 1:32:40Speaker 14

  People think there's some sort of apartheid here. I had a Muslim taxi driver. I had a Christian tour guide. I have a Jewish person checking into the hotel. You can coexist. And if you want another example, look at what's going on in the UAE. But there's three things that I've realized Bibi and the government want to do with Gaza. And it's three things. It's number one, disarm. And that's basically what the Board of Peace is talking about. Number two, it's demilitarize. They say there will be peace when Hamas puts down their guns. And until then, there's no peace. And the last thing is de-radicalize. I've talked to many soldiers that have been to Gaza, that have been to certain places all around the world, and they go into the bedrooms of kids' bedrooms.

• 1:33:22Speaker 14

  And in the bedrooms, there's rocket launchers, missiles, and they put, open the books. And of course, there's Quran there, respect. And they open the books and the math books, and I swear, hand on the Bible, hand, hand to God, they say, here's how they do math. If you have three Jews and you kill one Jew, how many Jews do you have left? Well, you have two Jews left. Great. That's their math here. So there's, there's a hope here that they come around. There's Palestinians living in Israel who say, I would never go back to living in the West Bank. I would never go back to living under Hamas control because life is pretty damn good here in Israel. So here's my hope and prayer, and I'll tell you this. Look at what's going on in the UAE. Gaza could be Singapore right now. Could be a rich country.

• 1:34:07Speaker 14

  I wish you could see what I'm looking at. Gaza's 20 minutes away, 20 minutes away from where I'm at right now. The beaches are beautiful. You're on the, the most incredible border of the sea. I hope and pray that they realize that you can focus on GDP, gross domestic product, and not GDT, gross domestic terrorism, and have peace and prosperity for your people. And that will happen when the Palestinian people and Hamas want to live with a beautiful opportunity rather than destroy the state of Israel. Because here's, here's the news. Israel isn't going anywhere. Israel is the bad man on the block at this point, and they want nothing but peace. And I hope and pray that that's what happens with Trump's Board of Peace here in Israel.

• 1:34:47Speaker 01

  And by the way, the question I got, and Jeff, I'm going to come to you with this one. I'm curious. If you read this thing here, Hamas agrees to completely disarmament under historic Gaza agreement, okay? And bring in a real democracy type of thing that they want to do there. Not an easy thing to do. It's going to be very complicated. If we use this as an example case study for Iran, do you think Trump is now at a point where the only thing he sees going with Iran is the elimination of IRGC and also replacing with a normal democracy where the Iranian people can be free? Do you think in his mind, that's also success and that's also what they want to do here?

• 1:35:30Speaker 01

  Or no, that's a much bigger animal, you know, you're going, but that's going to be more complicated than Hamas?

• 1:35:36Speaker 05

  No, that's what they're going for. I guarantee you.

• 1:35:38Speaker 01

  Why do you, why do you believe that?

• 1:35:40Speaker 05

  Because what would, it would have to be worth it, right? Why launch something like this that it has the potential to wreck the entire global economy?

• 1:35:47Speaker 01

  The Memorandum of Understanding, some people would say, well, he got to a point that he was, if they were willing to keep that, maybe that wasn't a vision of the regime change. You're saying deep down inside, he still wants that?

• 1:35:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, I don't think that Memorandum of Understanding was ever going to be, I don't, I think that was a ploy to get oil prices to go back down, get the economy flowing again. I think their goal from the beginning, and I've said this from the beginning, was regime collapse. And I think they think it's attainable. And the roadmap is, if this Gaza agreement plans out, that's the roadmap. Because what Trump has been basically doing here is good cop, bad cop. The bad cop is, you, you want to continue to do what you're doing, I'm going to kill you, and you can't stop me. I'll just, I'll just keep, he has shown time and time again, he has the resolve to keep it up and keep it up and keep it up. Everyone says he tacos. Where do you see that? Do you actually see that anywhere in Iran? He keeps doing it. So the bad cop routine is, you keep opposing us, you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to be dead.

• 1:36:40Speaker 05

  The good cop is, if you join us, if you join the Western community, you will be a prosperous society, using all the Trumpian language. You can't believe how great it's going to be. It's going to be beautiful. It's going to be huge. And he's not wrong. So the idea here is, the carrot is, join us. Put down your arms, become a peaceful, loving society. We'll embrace you. You'll, you'll live in prosperity, in peace and safety. You'll be able to raise your families and go to school, everything that we take for granted in the West. That doesn't just apply to Gaza. It applies, I think that is their roadmap to Iran. And I think the reason why this conflict is still going and still escalating is because they believe it's still a deal.

• 1:37:17Speaker 01

  Do you agree with them?

• 1:37:18Speaker 04

  Here's the, here's the one thing that I'm questioning, and Adam, because you're there, from what I've seen, Gaza was completely destroyed. Who, where is Hamas? I'm curious to, I thought the goal was to destroy Hamas. They should be all gone. Where is Hamas? What leadership? I thought mission accomplished, killed all the freaking tunnels and everything. I've seen videos where it's just completely leveled, Adam. Who are they negotiating with?

• 1:37:41Speaker 05

  Probably in Spain.

• 1:37:42Speaker 04

  I'm very curious. Well, that's what I'm, and I'm, I'm being genuinely inquisitive. I don't know, because what I thought, it's a victory, meaning you killed, yeah, a lot of innocent lives were gone, but I thought Hamas was gone.

• 1:37:53Speaker 14

  Well, can I answer that?

• 1:37:55Speaker 05

  Yeah, of course. I'm asking you.

• 1:37:57Speaker 14

  Sure.

• 1:37:59Speaker 14

  Well, how do you kill an ideology? You know, the reality is, they decimated Gaza. They took out all their leadership. They took out a lot of their military capabilities. But these are people who've been indoctrinated for decades to not have a peaceful, prosperous society to destroy Israel. So how do you change that? I could tell you this. Israel is a lot more concerned about Hezbollah to the north or the IRGC out in Iran than they are in Gaza. The running joke here is that it's suicide bombers and terrorists in sandals. But, you know, I had lunch today. It's almost 8 o'clock, sorry, 6 o'clock at night here in Israel. And I had lunch today with Trey Yankst, who's, you might recognize him from Fox News. He's their chief correspondent.

• 1:38:43Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 1:38:44Speaker 14

  He said, listen, I said, what's going on here, man? And he said, look, here's my take. And he speaks to Trump all the time, like literally has Trump's number, calls him. And he says, people respect my honesty. He said, here's what's going on in Iran specifically. And I'll shift over to Hamas in Gaza. He says, you have the IRGC and you have the moderates. And in Iran, they're jockeying for position. And the reality is, you don't know who's going to win this escapade here. IRGC is fanatical. They do not want to lose control. Whereas the moderates are basically saying, can we just figure this thing out? That's essentially what's going on in Gaza. You have the average Palestinian who just wants a normal life. They look at the rest of the world and they say, please, can we join the rest of the world where Hamas has this

• 1:39:28Speaker 14

  deep-sewn ideology that they won't break? So how do you negotiate with that? Here's my opinion with Trump. I could be wrong. This is why I think Trump wants total victory. Who did Trump kill from Iran that has the most importance in Iranian IRGC society? Two people. He killed the Ayatollah and he killed Soleimani. That's basically their pope and their national treasure, right? PBD, is that right?

• 1:39:53Speaker 05

  Yes.

• 1:39:54Speaker 14

  So I think, I think the way that Trump is looking at this, you know, that he thinks that unless he actually decimates the IRGC, they're going to try to kill him or try to kill his family. Why do I feel that? Why am I so convinced of that? It's because they actually attempted to do that. Do you know there's two people sitting in American jails right now? One guy's name is Asif Merchant, who's a Pakistani national. The other guy's name is Farhad Shakhtar, is an Afghani national living in Iran, who are in jail right now because they tried to kill Trump. So you talk about geopolitics. For me, there might be a portion of this that's deeply personal, where Trump says, if I don't eliminate this regime, this IRGC and this horrible ideology, they might not only kill me, they might come after my family.

• 1:40:39Speaker 14

  So it's personal, but it's also geopolitical. And unless the moderates win in Iran and in Gaza and in Lebanon and all around the world, the fanaticals could basically come back again. And that's the, that's the hope, is that the moderates beat the fanaticals within those countries that have those countries hostage.

• 1:40:58Speaker 05

  Well, how do the moderates win? That's the question. The moderates win when Trump gives them a realistic option on both sides. Realistic option is, number one, you keep opposing us. We're going to blow you out. We're going to blow you up. You're going to be gone. We're going to eliminate you if you keep opposing us. You make that realistic, which I think Trump has already made his mind clear. And the other part of it is where this Gaza deal, if it goes through, you're right, Vinny, who the hell are they negotiating with? I mean, who knows? But the other part of it is you make that, for the moderates, you give them a realistic pathway to prosperity. Because you're right, Adam, what you just said. Most people in Gaza just want to live their lives like the rest of us do. And so if you give them a realistic pathway, you oppose us, you die. You join us, you have a safe, prosperous society. If he can make that case realistic to the people in Gaza,

• 1:41:42Speaker 05

  to the people in Israel, to the people in Iran, there is a path forward. But, you know, if only it was that easy.

• 1:41:49Speaker 14

  How familiar are you guys in Shia Islam with this whole 12th Imam? Are you familiar with this concept? I'm learning this while I'm in Israel. We want peace and prosperity. We want to have a long, beautiful life. There's a faction of the IRGC that has this Shia ideology that they want to die. They want to blow up the world. So how do you negotiate with somebody that says, oh yeah, I'll kill you, I'll kill myself and I'll take everyone out with it? That's the challenge right now. Is that how do you negotiate with people that are willing to die and kill their own people?

• 1:42:21Speaker 05

  So you don't negotiate with those people. You just eliminate them until the vast majority of the population sees that it's a dead end.

• 1:42:25Speaker 01

  But unfortunately, unfortunately.

• 1:42:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, I mean, that's the downside.

• 1:42:30Speaker 01

  This is for me why Hamas is different than Iran. Because Iran's got actual power.

• 1:42:34Speaker 14

  Yes.

• 1:42:35Speaker 01

  Hamas doesn't have the kind of power Iran has. And if you guys remember, I don't know when this was, a few months ago, when I became critical, no, this was a year ago, when I became critical of Reza Pahlavi. And I said a few words and a couple of guys came up, just shut the fuck, we got this, you don't need to fuck the fuck up. Remember all those messages?

• 1:42:53Speaker 05

  What do you mean, of course? I got them for you.

• 1:42:55Speaker 01

  I got, I sat down and, believe it or not, what ended up happening with me is, I sat down and I, one day I come home. My dad is sitting there, he's like, tell me what you're doing. I said, Dad, I don't think this is the right guy that's going to get the job done. Right? This is my dad. And he says, you may be right, but what if he does? What if he does? And I got some calls from friends and relatives from a man that I respect a lot. His son gave me a message saying, my hope is that you guys can unify and find a way to do things. And I reached out to try to say something and I was on the show, one Iranian TV show that I was on. And I told the guy, I said, I reached out, haven't heard back. Well, who do you think you are from to reach out? I said, oh, this is where you guys are at? No problem. We got it. Leave us alone. Really?

• 1:43:40Speaker 01

  Okay, no problem. I could have played a role for you, but no problem. I left, left it alone. Do you know how my phone is blowing up right now with what types of messages? These are the messages my phone is blowing up with.

• 1:43:51Speaker 05

  Go ahead.

• 1:43:51Speaker 01

  Pat, I want, this is one of the biggest supporters of Reza Pahlavi who criticized me in a video that went viral all over the place. Pat, I want to reach out to you and tell you that I come to realize that you are right about RP.

• 1:44:04Speaker 05

  Weird.

• 1:44:05Speaker 01

  And, and he goes into breaking it down and where he's at now, what he wants to do. I got one of the biggest media guys contacting me. Hey, Patrick, let's put a big event together in New York. Please consider putting this together, bringing in power players. We may do so. We may do so. But where it is today for me, this is an event that was taking place, Lindsey Graham's funeral. You can see Reza Pahlavi to the left is trying to get close to Trump. And this was one of the clips that was going viral. There's Reza Pahlavi to the left. You will see in a minute, right there. You see him right there and he's seeing Trump walking. And he can pause it right there. I think he had a meeting with Netanyahu. Look, he's doing his part behind closed doors. He's doing his part. He is trying to do his part.

• 1:44:48Speaker 01

  But something's not landing with Trump. Something is simply not landing with Trump. And to not be able to get Trump to be there, you're going to have a hard time. You're going to need his support to go out there and do something with this. So I don't know. Sometimes you hope diplomacy takes place and it takes place more than your ego, your pride. And I hope that happens. But I've never, the team that he has around him, I don't know what they feed this man to make him believe that he is walks on water, to not be able to do certain things. I think he can play a very important role. But with this Iran situation where they're going right now, I, you need to figure it. Not the guy to me is like, well, why don't we do it without a figure? Let's just do it like, you know, movement.

• 1:45:32Speaker 01

  I'm like, no, you need a face. You need a voice. You need somebody ahead of it. I stepped away to say, go. I won't criticize, but we'll see. We'll see what's going to be happening. This is, this article Reuters says, regime change in San Reza Pahlavi's faltering bid to lead Iran. The son of Iran's last shot says, Islamic republic is on the brink of collapse and he is the bridge to the democratic future. But he's contending with violence by some supporters, discontent among donors and rejecting by the Trump administration. If you can't win Trump over, the next administration is not going to be on your side. Let me say this one more time. If you cannot win the president over, you have never had a leader during your 47, 48 years of trying to do this

• 1:46:14Speaker 01

  that is more capable of you being able to bring freedom back to Iran than this guy. You have to figure out a way to get in front of him. Not the other way around. You, you're not a prince. You're a man today. Because Iran's not a monarchy. You were a prince in 1978, maybe the first two weeks of January of 79. Since then, you've not been a prince. You're just Reza Pahlavi. To everybody else you are, but to the loyalist monarchies, which I have a lot of respect for, let me tell you, the loyalist monarchies also have some of the nastiest people out there. Some of the nastiest people, and not all of them, but they have the 10 to 20% that are just as bad as the IRGC fanatical type of people. They're very, very similar. You know, like the woke left and the woke right?

• 1:46:58Speaker 01

  It's the fanatical IRGC and the fanatical monarchy. They got a lot in common. God forbid you question anything. They can't do it. But more of them are coming to their senses. And more of them are sitting there saying, maybe we need a different route. Anyways, Adam, I think you wanted to say something, but I want to get to the next story. So 30 seconds.

• 1:47:17Speaker 14

  Yeah. Well, I'll tell you, this is a little anecdotal, but everything you just said, I've experienced here in Israel. I can't tell you how many people come up to me and they're like, hey, what's up? Big fan of the show. This one lady came up to me. I swear. She goes, how do I know you? I go, I don't know, how do I know? And she goes, you're a podcaster or something? Oh, yeah. And she goes, what podcast? I go, PBD Podcast. She goes, with Patrick B. David? I go, yeah. She goes, that guy. You know, she goes, I was a big fan of Reza Pahlavi. I didn't like what he was saying about RP. I didn't, I didn't like that. I said, well, what do you think now? She goes, I have to be honest. He's a nice guy, but, but he's not the leader. He's not strong enough. He's not strong enough. So I'm like, oh, are you saying that PBD was right? She goes, PBD was right. And I go, okay, thank you. I'll let Pat know.

• 1:48:02Speaker 14

  But I'm experiencing that myself here in the Middle East. You have to be a badass gangster in order to win here in the Middle East. That's the reality.

• 1:48:10Speaker 01

  He's a sweet man.

• 1:48:11Speaker 14

  He seems like a nice guy, but he ain't that dude.

• 1:48:13Speaker 05

  You called him Jeb Bush. I remember that. You called him Jeb Bush. And I think that's probably the most accurate.

• 1:48:18Speaker 01

  Jeb Bush is a nice guy.

• 1:48:19Speaker 05

  He's a very nice guy. He's also accomplished and successful, but he's not the guy to do this.

• 1:48:24Speaker 14

  Hey, PBD, please clap. Please clap for Jeb Bush. Please clap.

• 1:48:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, please.

• 1:48:29Speaker 14

  You remember that one.

• 1:48:30Speaker 05

  He's got better hair than Jeb Bush.

• 1:48:31Speaker 01

  You're so funny. All right, let's go to the next story. I'm going to get to the next story. So look, there's a reason why Florida is Florida. Because these guys, they're good at what they do. The Santis is like nonstop, common sense, working out a bunch of different things. Let me give you one of them here that is interesting. Parents in Florida are being given the choice to opt out their kids in or out of AI tools in the class. By the way, this is a sick, sick story, which is great for the future to be bright. Before I get into it, for some of you guys that don't yet have your future looks bright, over the last couple of weeks, we've been putting the future looks bright shoes. It's been selling a, I love how it's around the world now, like 50 plus countries of people that are picking up these. Shoes, I'm wearing it today.

• 1:49:15Speaker 01

  I was at the doctor's office yesterday. One guy shows up to me, he says, hey, let me see the shoes. Where the future, and he says, look what I got. I got my future looks bright yeti. And he says, hey, Pat, can you and Tom sign it? It was hilarious. Good looking guy. Phenomenal guy. Shout out, you know who you are. So, but by the way, before we do that, I want you to watch this video. Go for it, Connor, if you got it. When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function and luxury. We had the choice to make it fast. We had the choice to make it cheap. We chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscany. We chose true Italian craftsmanship. Each pair touched by 50 skilled painters. We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail.

• 1:49:58Speaker 01

  And we chose the finest quality at every step. Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection. Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary. Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.

• 1:50:18Speaker 01

  There you go. Go to VTMerish.com to place an order and make sure your sizes are there. Okay, that's the biggest thing because everybody says, Pat, we got a whole new shipment. So a lot of new sizes are there. Go to VTMerish.com, place the order for yourself, your son, your husband, or one of your coworkers. Uh, let's get into the story. Parents in Florida being given choice to opt their kids in or out of AI tools in classes. Parents will not have the choice to opt out their kids out of using artificial, instructional tools in classrooms. Setting under a new rule being considered by the Florida Department of Education. The proposed changes to this internet safety policy would set minimum requirements for schools, districts to adopt regarding the use of AI for educational purposes. Tom, why is this such a big deal and do you support it?

• 1:50:59Speaker 03

  I support it and below the surface, there's a bunch of things. Look at what they're.

• 1:51:04Speaker 01

  Can we run a poll about how many parents would like to see this happen in their states? Do you support of the state allowing you to opt in or opt out? Or do you not care? Let's just run a poll. Go ahead, Tom.

• 1:51:14Speaker 03

  Fantastic. Well, for everybody here at the table that's got kids or like Vinnie, you may have nieces or nephews or your friends have kids. Here's what parents may get. Dear parent, uh, we're going to be using an AI tool. This is the AI tool that will be used. This is how much time that will be spent in class with it. This is the instructional, uh, use and topics for it. And we'd also like to know, do you approve of that? And would you like to limit the amount of time your child uses for any of these tools? If you opt in, you can, uh, limit the time that we use. And we're also saying that the tools will not replace, quote, the professional judgment of teachers or, quote, the primary right of parents to direct the upbringing, education of their children.

• 1:51:59Speaker 03

  And the rules forbid tools that are subject to students undisclosed behavior monitors, social scoring or psychological profiling. So this is fantastic. So if you've got that as a parent, Pat, hey, here's the tool. Do you want to opt in? Here's the list, opt in, opt out. And then also here's the amount of time. And you may say, uh, you can, you can, look, they can use it to do the research on, uh, the science project, but I don't want them using it all day. Only what's necessary for the lesson. It's, um, I think it's great and it puts the power. And more importantly, it demands answers from the parents. Now the question is, will they be able to get these, um, yapping hyenas called the, uh,

• 1:52:42Speaker 03

  teachers' union to actually cause the teachers to follow it in the classroom? That's going to be the question is can the state of Florida work successfully with teachers' union? You remember how much fun teachers' unions are, Pat? Uh, you've dealt with a couple. So they have to enforce it, but the parents are going to be able to put it all out there and get a very formalized form that they respond to.

• 1:53:05Speaker 08

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid and risked 350,000 Virginians healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC.com.

• 1:55:32Speaker 03

  I agree. I mean, no, this is the way education should work. It should, again, the proper process and proper procedure is parents first, school second. Um, so if they would do more of this instead of trying to hide curriculum and hide methodology, and you're right, Tom, teachers' unions are going to be a difficult one. There was that story in the notes here about, uh, um, that upstate New York Salamanca school that was going to pilot program a AI sort of robot teacher. And of course that caused a big thing. That's, this is the wave of the future. This is going to happen. So the way to lead it into the future is exactly this way. To give parents infor- information ahead of time. I mean, not every parent's going to make an informed decision. They're going to be emotional, whatever. But if you give them more information about what you intend to do, what it's, uh, what, uh,

• 1:56:17Speaker 03

  problem you're intending to solve with this technology and how you intend to use it. It is far superior than just, you know, bearing it down deep into, uh, the curriculum, bearing it down deep into teachers, uh, days, um, how they actually operate a classroom. And nobody knows until it's actually in Wisconsin, everything in there. It's because this is such a transformational technology, we need to be upfront and transparent from the very beginning.

• 1:56:38Speaker 01

  And I will tell you this, Tom, you know, you know where I'm at with this. So, so let me ask you. If they reach out to you to opt in or opt out, what are you going to say?

• 1:56:45Speaker 03

  I'm gonna, I'm gonna go down the list of what they're using and I'm going to make my decisions. If it's for research purposes and pulling together the thing that saves time, I'm probably in. If it's actually, uh, running a model, like you give stuff and it runs the model faster, like making, um, uh, compounds or chemistry formulas, then I'm probably in. If it's, if it's, um, commentary, like on reading and books, I'm probably out. I want my kid to read the book and I want them to develop the commentary in their own words.

• 1:57:13Speaker 01

  Are you, are you pretty aligned with them on that?

• 1:57:14Speaker 03

  Yeah, if it's used for as an evaluation tool, then it's certainly, uh, I think that's, that's where it should be. Not as far as instruction, or you're right, anything about that commentary, that's, no, we're not anywhere close to that. But as, as far as helping teachers or helping school districts evaluate the effectiveness of classrooms, teachers, processes, everything that goes into education. If it's a tool to help evaluate that, that's certainly.

• 1:57:36Speaker 01

  Do you think it's more annoying to be a teacher today or 20 years ago? Is it harder today or 20 years ago?

• 1:57:40Speaker 03

  Today. I, I can, I can speak from, you know, absolute, um, an informed position because my wife's been a teacher for 30 years. And it is more difficult today, partly because of what parents expect the schools to do for discipline of their kids and really poor parenting. Number one, and number two, you get a lot of interference from, uh, the government about what you can and can't teach. And, um, uh, Kim's going back to school next week. And one of the things they will be doing, Pat, is they will be doing, um, shooter response training. And so you're living in a world where actually part of going back to school is the teachers. Here's the tools, here's the lockdown, here's the things you have to work with for a live shooter. And it just, it, all of that comes together to say, it's very hard to be a teacher.

• 1:58:25Speaker 03

  And that's why New York wants to put robots in.

• 1:58:27Speaker 01

  Yeah, I want to read this to you. I want to read this to you. College professor busted 32 out of 35 students using AI on a final after they all made the same lazy mistake. New York Post story, a professor snuck an extra test into a student's final exam prompt and revealed that 32 out of 35 failed using AI to complete their assignment. Jason Gibson, who teaches history at Alcorn State University of Mississippi, inserted instruction to place the word Madagascar somewhere in the response in a way that makes no sense in white ink. So any student copying the text into an AI bot would cause it to follow the invisible instruction. The result, 32 out of 35 students managed to shoehorn a mention of the African island nation into their essays about the industrial revolution. I explain to my students all the time that it's like compound interest in banking.

• 1:59:12Speaker 01

  Gibson, thirty-four years old, told the Post, "When you're reading something, you're engaging with material, you're compounding knowledge, and you are robbing yourself on a daily basis by just putting a prompt into AI. The results were absurd and instantly exposed. Those who had cut and pasted the AI unprecedented global connectivity without reading the results back to one student wrote, 'The digital age has created unprecedented global connectivity, much like a journey to Madagascar might have been once influenced by family visit. Another read, Madagascar floats sideways through the afternoon.'" Other mentions, including Madagascar's purple bicycle whispers to the ceiling, and Madagascar wore a toaster to a basketball game. Gibson was shocked to find the word in more than ninety percent of response. I had no clue that it would be thirty-two out of thirty-five. He said, "I was expecting

• 1:59:56Speaker 01

  maybe ten or less." He got the idea from TikTok, where students have posted videos discovering why text in their own assignments. Kudos to this guy. How do you feel about what he did? What do you think about this teacher Gibson, Snyder?

• 2:00:07Speaker 05

  Oh, I think it's brilliant. I think we're gonna see a lot more of this.

• 2:00:10Speaker 01

  I love this.

• 2:00:11Speaker 05

  It's essentially asking people to self-identify and self-select. If you're a lazy student, what better way to reveal your laziness than just to copy and paste into AI bot? And you're gonna see this not just in the classroom. You're gonna see corporations and HR departments use this as a screening process. You know, you don't want an employee who just does the absolute minimum in copying and pasting. So using these kinds of things to help identify what people are like, whether they're in the classroom.

• 2:00:37Speaker 03

  I can tell you a true story about one of my teachers. We were in a class, and I was in high school, and there was like twenty-five kids in the class, and it wasn't a very big classroom, so we're pretty close together. Why is that important? Because when it came time to take a test, people would do this, Pat. You know, you act like you're taking a test, and you have your hand on your forehead like this, if you see what I'm doing. I'm really looking right over there. So here's what the teacher did. He did odds and evens. He switched the odd and even questions on every other row of the class. So everybody in this row, all the people in front of me and behind me, we had the odd test. The people on our right and left had the even test. So if we're copying the A, B, C, D, we're

• 2:01:19Speaker 03

  copying wrong because their questions were adjusted. So you had people that suddenly got every answer in a row wrong. And so the teachers have been trying for years to do things to ensure integrity in the classroom, and God bless them, and I love this guy at Alcorn State.

• 2:01:37Speaker 04

  Pat, did you see what Elon said about school and AI? He was on this podcast, and he says, "Don't go to medical school. It's pointless." Let's see it. Yeah, go ahead.

• 2:01:45Speaker 28

  Optimists will be a better surgeon than the best surgeons. How long for that?

• 2:01:53Speaker 29

  Three years.

• 2:01:54Speaker 28

  Three years, okay.

• 2:01:55Speaker 03

  Than any surgeon.

• 2:01:56Speaker 29

  And by the way, that's a... Three years at scale.

• 2:01:59Speaker 28

  Yes.

• 2:02:00Speaker 29

  There'll probably be more optimist robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth.

• 2:02:06Speaker 03

  All surgeons.

• 2:02:07Speaker 28

  But that's an important statement in three years' time.

• 2:02:10Speaker 29

  Yeah.

• 2:02:11Speaker 28

  Because medicine...

• 2:02:13Speaker 29

  I'm not like absolutely certain, but I'd say if you say like four years, I'd be absolutely certain.

• 2:02:17Speaker 28

  If it's four or five years, who cares?

• 2:02:18Speaker 03

  Four. Look, look, he's gonna say it.

• 2:02:20Speaker 29

  Three years. Yes.

• 2:02:23Speaker 03

  Better than...

• 2:02:24Speaker 29

  Better than any...

• 2:02:25Speaker 03

  He said, "Four years, definitely."

• 2:02:26Speaker 29

  I'd say if you like, put a little margin on it, better than any human in four years.

• 2:02:30Speaker 28

  My niece, who's in plastic surgery.

• 2:02:31Speaker 29

  By five years, it's not even close.

• 2:02:33Speaker 28

  I think your point was, medicine is gonna be effectively free. The best medicine in the world is effectively free.

• 2:02:40Speaker 29

  Everyone will have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now.

• 2:02:46Speaker 28

  So don't go into medical school?

• 2:02:47Speaker 29

  Yes.

• 2:02:48Speaker 03

  Pointless.

• 2:02:49Speaker 29

  Unless you... But I would say that applies to any form of education. It's not like some... I do it for social reasons.

• 2:03:00Speaker 03

  I do it for social reasons.

• 2:03:02Speaker 04

  Hey, I went to college.

• 2:03:04Speaker 01

  So what do you do for a living? "I'm a social worker." Really? No, I'm a cardiologist, but I'm doing it for social reasons.

• 2:03:10Speaker 04

  So it's gonna be like, it's not gonna be like, "Hey, what college you gonna do?" It's like, "What robot do you have, and what program is it running on?" So that's coming from Elon. Five years.

• 2:03:18Speaker 01

  All right, well, we'll see.

• 2:03:19Speaker 03

  I got something for you.

• 2:03:20Speaker 01

  Adam, go ahead.

• 2:03:21Speaker 14

  Well, speaking from experience, you definitely don't want to cheat while you're in school. Not that I would ever do anything like that. Not that I would ever sneak notes into class or use Cliff Notes or maybe even write notes on my hands. But here's what I've learned, that if it was easy, everyone would do it. Right now, everyone would put Madagascar on their test, and they failed. Because we're living no longer in the information age. It's the validation age. And I tell my nephew this all the time. I said, "Dude, you don't need social media yet. You're thirteen years old. You don't need a phone yet, and you don't need to be using AI to get the answers. Find the answer yourself." Because at the end

• 2:04:02Speaker 14

  of the day, you're only cheating yourself if you actually don't know the information. My fear is this. We're gonna have a generation of young kids looking down nonstop, have zero ability to basically figure things out themselves, the answers at the tip of their fingertips, and we're gonna have... What's that movie that we always talk about?

• 2:04:22Speaker 04

  Hold on, let me AI it.

• 2:04:23Speaker 14

  Idiocracy? Yeah, just idiots walking around that can't figure out things themselves. So I hope that kids actually put in the work, get smarter, and not just rely on AI or social media or anything like that to get the answers.

• 2:04:36Speaker 01

  Life-changing advice.

• 2:04:38Speaker 04

  Thank you, Adam.

• 2:04:39Speaker 01

  Just like, life-changing, man. I mean, it's just, I don't know what to tell you. People's lives was just changed.

• 2:04:43Speaker 14

  By the way, Pat, I actually read that entire segment from the notes that I wrote in my hand.

• 2:04:48Speaker 01

  Yeah, I believe you. I believe you. Okay, let's go to the next story. Next story I want to get to is, I got a few of them I want to get to, but I'm gonna go to this one here. So DeSantis signing bill requiring schools to teach accurate history of communism. So what does this mean? Accurate history of communism. DeSantis sign legislation on Wednesday requiring agent developmentally appropriate instruction in the history of communism in Florida schools beginning twenty twenty-six, twenty twenty-seven school year. The curriculum will cover atrocities committed under communist regimes abroad, the increasing threat of communism in the United States, and the communist policies and practices of Cuba and Latin America. DeSantis said many universities across the country tried

• 2:05:30Speaker 01

  to rehabilitate communism, and Florida will instead tell the truth and the evils of communism and unprecedented death toll in twentieth century. Florida Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. said the bill ensures students learn history, so that our students in Florida are not apt to repeat the history. Senator Jim Collins, who sponsored the bill, warned that "we fought in the eighties, that communism and socialism was dead, and that we took our foot off the gas pedal, but they never went away." So, you know, before I come to you guys, when we first came here, we went and interviewed at a lot of different schools. We went to St. Andrews. We went to American Heritage in Boca, had a horrible experience

• 2:06:07Speaker 01

  with a lady named Cobos. I think her name was Patricia Cobos, something Cobos. Am I saying the name correctly, Tom?

• 2:06:17Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think that's right. Patty.

• 2:06:19Speaker 01

  Patty Cobos, yes. And had multiple meetings. I said, "Okay, we're never gonna do anything with American Heritage." We took all our kids out. And then we looked at St. Andrews, had a very good experience with St. Andrews, but it was too distant, too far from us. And then eventually, we went to, what's the local school, the big one? Prestonwood? Preston, what's the local?

• 2:06:39Speaker 03

  Pinecrest.

• 2:06:40Speaker 01

  We went to Pinecrest.

• 2:06:41Speaker 03

  Pinecrest.

• 2:06:42Speaker 01

  And while we went to Pinecrest, I went for the interviews, and a lady sits in front of me, and I asked basic question. "Ma'am, what's this school's position on capitalism, socialism, and communism?" I asked everybody the same question. The only one that gave me this answer was her. And she said to me, she said, "Well, we teach our kids the pros and cons of each economical system." I said, "What's the pro of communism?" And so she's like, "Well, there's some benefits to each of these economical systems." I said, "I understand that, but where do you guys lie?" She says, "Well, no, our students need to know the pros and cons of communism, socialism, and capitalism. We want the kids to have a balanced

• 2:07:27Speaker 01

  understanding of all three." Let me tell you what month this is. Tom, what month would this have been? December of twenty twenty-ish? You know, November of twenty twenty-ish? Because it's right before we're moving. Yeah, something like that. It's late twenty, early twenty-one.

• 2:07:41Speaker 03

  That's right. Okay.

• 2:07:42Speaker 01

  Okay. So we're doing these interviews, and a moment the lady answered the question, and Pinecrest's the place everybody wants to put their kids there.

• 2:07:49Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:07:50Speaker 01

  They go, "Oh, my God, Pinecrest, this Pinecrest, that." I walked out. I said, "Jen, there's no way in the world I want to put my kids in a place that are teaching..."

• 2:07:57Speaker 03

  Pros.

• 2:07:58Speaker 01

  Pros!

• 2:07:59Speaker 03

  Of communism.

• 2:08:00Speaker 01

  And cons of communism. And you think there are pros. I said, "I'm out." That's all she had to say. I got in the car. I said, "If the person that's recruiting kids and parents, and when you go to Pinecrest, you know how all of them are?

• 2:08:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, Johnny.

• 2:08:14Speaker 01

  Like, you are so lucky to do this and all this." I said, "This is a unattractive thing. We were trying to get a couple of our kids into that place." I said, "We're out. I would rather teach values and principles than even give a glimpse of pros of communism after how many tens of millions of people died because of communism." So how do you feel about the story? Because some people would sit there and say, "Well, don't you want to give freedom of speech?" But this is not really a freedom of speech. It is forcing teachers, who we know ninety-eight percent of English teachers are Democrats. They put their money on the left. We know what campaigns they support. A lot of these are Bernie people. Now they have to actually be forced to say bad things about communism and socialism? How do you force these socialist teachers to do that? You can't force them to do that. They're still gonna put their own spin in it, no? Tom?

• 2:08:58Speaker 03

  I think we're back to the comment about the teachers' union, and how do you control the yapping hyenas that pledge allegiance to the teachers' union and the liberalism that goes with it, and the ninety, what is it, ninety-five percent donation rate to Democrat and liberal candidates? You know, Florida suddenly reminds me, in a good way, of the old Phil Hartman. Remember Phil Hartman on Saturday Night Live?

• 2:09:24Speaker 29

  One of my favorites.

• 2:09:25Speaker 14

  Yeah, he was great.

• 2:09:26Speaker 03

  Remember when he was Frankenstein, and they were having the debate about things that's... And he's Frankenstein, and he goes, "Fire! Bad!" Well, finally, Florida is taking a page out of that thing. This is communism, bad! And showing it. And I think what's interesting...

• 2:09:42Speaker 01

  But that's not the question, though. Tom, I want you to focus on the question I'm asking. How do you force a group of deep-rooted socialists? Can you pull up that CNN poll that just came out yesterday that Snyder showed us, that a third of Democrats now, what was the word, not accept?

• 2:10:00Speaker 05

  They identify as democratic socialist.

• 2:10:03Speaker 01

  They identify as democratic socialist. They identify as democratic socialist. Was that a video, or was it a...

• 2:10:10Speaker 05

  Article.

• 2:10:11Speaker 01

  It was an article. Is this one? Okay. A third of Democrats now identify as democratic socialist. Go a little bit lower. About a third of Democrats, zoom in a little bit if you could.

• 2:10:23Speaker 01

  identifies democratic socialist there's some of the parties staunchest supporters but many are also raring for a party overhaul at a time when the democratic socialists are seeing new momentum at polls Tom many school teachers are democratic socialist

• 2:10:37Speaker 05

  they're the driving force

• 2:10:38Speaker 01

  that's right if a third of these guys identifies democratic socialist I'm willing to bet a half of school teachers in public schools are democratic socialist how do you get them to say bad things about socialism and communism

• 2:10:51Speaker 05

  uh it is incredibly difficult and the state of Florida is about to have a head-on collision with the teachers union in Florida

• 2:10:56Speaker 01

  I agree

• 2:10:57Speaker 05

  they're gonna have a head-on collision and what they're gonna have to do the state needs a strong leader at the education level and at the governor level we can't step back uh DeSantis is taking the first steps and we need we need fair debates and fair review of all of our candidates for governors so that the people can make a decision because one of the things we want the governor to say is I will support this and I will go head-to-head with the teachers union and teachers that don't want to comply with this are not following the policies of the state of Florida and have forfeited your opportunity to hang on Pat hold a teaching credential issued by the state in the state of Florida and you're gonna have a head-on collision between that it's a collision I welcome it's

• 2:11:42Speaker 05

  gonna create up a lot of dust but you're gonna have parents that I think are reacting to this in the right way because what you're going to see is kids come home and say well they said this this and this and conservative parents are gonna that don't have the the resources to send their kids to private school or parochial school or conservative school are gonna say WTF governor DeSantis said that this isn't happening well mom that the teacher just said this this and this about socialism and it was purple hair day

• 2:12:10Speaker 01

  it's gonna be nasty

• 2:12:11Speaker 05

  it's gonna be nasty and so how do you do it the the state has to terminate or censure teachers that don't follow the law but the teachers union is gonna jump in front of it so we have a war coming

• 2:12:23Speaker 01

  yeah I think it's gonna be nasty because you can't get socialist and communist to not talk about socialism and communism they can't help themselves

• 2:12:31Speaker 05

  they love it but you know Pat this I uh I gotta get in here because this is a this is one of the things I talk about a lot why do we have this problem to begin with and I think that's what everybody is struggling in where is this popularity of socialism coming from and so part of the explanation that's been put forward is we don't teach socialism in school so if we teach socialism in school the young people won't fall for it and therefore we could no I think again that's misidentifying the problem here the reason why socialism is rising in popularity is because what the Marxists are saying about the economic situation in this country and around the world resonates with most people a lot of people especially young people the economy sucks and nobody will say so we talk about the affordability crisis guess what it's falls right into the Marxist rhetoric if you know anything about

• 2:13:15Speaker 05

  what Marx is and what Marx actually said what he said about capitalism was that capitalism always needs new markets to expand toward because there's always this this idea you need more and more and more profits they call it infinite growth well Marx said eventually you run out of markets you run out of land to conquer you don't have any more markets so what is what is a what is a capitalist gonna do at that point well they call it end-stage capitalism you go online you see end-stage capitalism or late-stage capitalism everywhere what marks end-stage capitalism when the capitalists have no more markets to exploit because they call it exploitation they start turning their exploitation inward and when they turn their exploitation inward that means that they cut the salaries and wages of all their employees they exploit their employees now because they have no no more markets to exploit so that the average young person on the street who has massive

• 2:14:00Speaker 05

  amounts of student loans they're working at Starbucks they can't get a job they can't get even uh somebody to call them back we talked about this before the median age of a first-time home buyer is fucking 40 so the average person on the street is saying you know what that freaking Marx guy it matches the reality that I'm seeing rather than what I hear from the mainstream which is look at the stock market stock market's booming the economy's terrific that's why we have a socialism problem because what these people are being taught fits closer to their experience than what they hear from everybody I admonish people on the right to get this correct admit the economy sucks and that's the reason why we have a socialism

• 2:14:35Speaker 01

  they have a hard time doing that and they don't think it's a real thing it's a

• 2:14:37Speaker 05

  I know I know that's that's what needs to be that's what needs

• 2:14:40Speaker 01

  yeah affordability is a myth affordability is just something the left

• 2:14:43Speaker 05

  the Democrats

• 2:14:44Speaker 01

  be very very I said this uh the last two months and I said if Rubio or Vance if one of them comes out and says the following and says anybody under the age of 30 you're not paying any federal income taxes until you turn 30 years old now that's gonna be a cost but that's gonna get the youth to say wait that's a concern you guys saw the other day that Hokel said no tax on tips and they ask is this a Trump thing she said I'm not giving this is my idea and they're like wait a minute you didn't come up with this idea somebody on the right needs to give the message on affordability because watch watch what's being said in college campuses right now by young girls I'm gonna play you two clips again Nick Shirley out there doing great work and for some of you guys that love Nick Shirley go manect him he's on manect type his name Nick Shirley

• 2:15:28Speaker 01

  he responds back to pretty much 100% messages on manect and that's your way of supporting him you know people think Nick Shirley's a deck of million and he's able to do this he needs support as much as possible but watch this interview he does with this girl here go for it tell me how you feel about this young girl

• 2:15:41Speaker 30

  is on the rise and what do you think about communism

• 2:15:44Speaker 31

  I think communism sells it's such a simple idea and message it obviously doesn't work at all but it's something that you could so easily say to a young naive college person or young person in general you can say everything should be free and healthcare should be free and universal and education should be free but people don't really understand the ramifications behind that statement so I mean this is nothing new people have been trying to sell the idea of socialism and communism for years and years and years I mean obviously in pre-soviet Russia you had communism that's where a lot of it started you had the Mensheviks and the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks were kind of like your mainstream run-of-the-mill Democrat and then you had the Bolsheviks this was way back

• 2:16:25Speaker 31

  in like the 1800s 1900s and the Bolsheviks came in they were kind of like the DSA activists of today and they said well the Mensheviks and the Democrats aren't being radical enough and they aren't promising you all the things that we're promising you we can give you free education and universal healthcare and all of these great things and then they never deliver so that happened back in the day I'm it's just like a recurring ideology history is a big fat circle and it's happening again because it's such an easy thing

• 2:16:53Speaker 01

  now you can pause it right there because this can go for two minutes I want to give you the complete counter of this with another girl that he that he asked a question I just want you to see this is a student at NYU well-known school complete 180 of a response go for it

  Let's just say, somebody who has raped a woman.

• 2:19:23Speaker 33

  Totally.

• 2:19:23Speaker 30

  Would you like them to be out in the street?

• 2:19:25Speaker 33

  I think my answer is yes, even though that's a challenging answer to say.

• 2:19:29Speaker 30

  So if you got raped, would you like your rapist to be out in the street?

• 2:19:32Speaker 33

  Oh, like, let me finish, because I have been raped, and they are out in the street. And I'm not sure, like, them going to jail is a solution to, like, whatever's going on inside their heart, or even my own heart, that, like, contributed to that experience that I'm having.

• 2:19:48Speaker 01

  That's the problem.

• 2:19:49Speaker 33

  And I don't want more people to get raped, but I don't know for certain. And going into a jail in the United States is going to shift anything inside of their, like, operating system, so that they'll make a different choice again.

• 2:20:05Speaker 30

  Wow, well, thank you guys so much for your time. Is there, uh, one last message you'd like to give the people about potential, the rise of communism, or freeing the people inside the prisons?

• 2:20:15Speaker 33

  Just, like, free yourself from the own prison in your heart, and then maybe we can...

• 2:20:19Speaker 04

  I was raped, and I'm totally cool with letting the rapists out in the streets, because, hey...

• 2:20:26Speaker 01

  But this goes back to Snyder, and what he's talking about, is, are people born with these ideas?

• 2:20:33Speaker 04

  No.

• 2:20:33Speaker 01

  Or does somebody sell you on these ideas? And if there was somebody sold you on these ideas, what percentage of that influences parents? What percentage of that influences teachers? That's the real question.

• 2:20:43Speaker 05

  And what percentage is experience? Again, she's exactly right. We've been hearing the communist message over and over again. Communism got very popular when? The 1930s. Why was communism popular? In the United States.

• 2:20:55Speaker 01

  You're right.

• 2:20:56Speaker 05

  In the United States.

• 2:20:56Speaker 01

  A couple times the membership spike. Can you pull up communism, uh, membership spikes, uh, in the US? Please continue.

• 2:21:02Speaker 05

  My point is that communism spikes in popularity when it matches people's living... What you say is, hell, the situation sucks, let's try something radical. Put yourself in the shoes of a young person today. Wouldn't you say, yeah, hell, I'd like some free healthcare, or some free this, or free that, because I can't get that on myself, I can't get it myself. A house, a car, the experience that my parents had is completely out of reach, I have no hope? That message, so what she was saying is that, uh, what has changed here? Is that communism, they've been selling, I remember when I was in school in the 1980s, they sold us these ideas too. Nobody fell for it, because in the 1980s, the economy didn't suck. Everybody could see that, you know, we had the Soviet Union over here that has breadlines. You got the United States is legitimately booming, prosperity is spreading through the world,

• 2:21:47Speaker 05

  communism is gonna sell in that type of environment. What has changed is the message now sells because it matches too many people's experience. That's the reason.

• 2:21:55Speaker 01

  And by the way, if you look at the number right there, it shows, uh, 1919, 1921, the Russian Revolution inspired, 20,000 to 30,000 memberships in America. Went up to 40,000 plus, 33 to 37, and then it went to 85,000 in 42, 75,000 in 47. This is during the Soviet Alliance during World War II. And then it dropped in 2016, 17, when Trump got elected, to 2 to 5,000. Covid went up to 5 to 15,000. I'm willing to bet today, it has resurged, and people are entertaining this idea. Part of it is brainwashing, part of it is actual challenges in the economy, and they're offering a solution. And, uh, no matter how much people say about, um, what's his name, Mamdani?

• 2:22:37Speaker 01

  What did Mamdani say the other day about grocery stores that we didn't talk about? What did he suggest, Tom?

• 2:22:42Speaker 04

  20, 30%, he's, they're releasing a searchable online, oh, to make 30% owned, immigrant-owned, 30% less, uh, grocery stores. And then the other immigrants in the neighborhood that have all these shops...

• 2:22:56Speaker 01

  The bodegas.

• 2:22:57Speaker 04

  The bodegas are like, wait a minute, you're gonna undercut us. And now they're talking crap about him, so it's immigrant versus immigrant.

• 2:23:02Speaker 05

  And they're talking class action suit, saying you are intentionally, you know, um, uh, you know, dropping your prices in an effort to throw me out of business. And now the city's gonna have to prove, oh no, that's not what we're doing, that's not what's going on, but that's the net effect of it. So this is heading to the courts, and there are independent grocers, let's find it. So if you think socialism is great, just look downstream. Look at the outcome, look at what's going on, look at the growth of conservatism, but not nearly fast enough, Pat, in Europe in the elections. But it's an uphill batter, battle. You have to get in front of it now.

• 2:23:34Speaker 01

  Better. Yeah, Adam, thoughts?

• 2:23:37Speaker 14

  Well, that beautiful girl that spoke initially, she's absolutely right, and then you have that, just, whatever she was, uh, is sad but true. But the reality is, capitalism and free markets is beautiful, and communism is ugly. There's another picture I'd like to show, I don't know if we have that, when the Fox News, uh, interviewer's interviewing the head of the DSA, or one of the people there, we could show that in a second. But communism sounds good, it's kind of, there you go, right there. Capitalism is the beautiful girl in the yellow, where communism, the head of the, uh, DSA co-chair, is whatever that is in the red glasses right there. Communism is basically, you're taking a girl home, and you wake up, and it's a dude.

• 2:24:19Speaker 14

  Because it sounds great, uh, on the surface, and you wake up, and next thing you know, you got some sore body parts.

• 2:24:25Speaker 01

  Adam, whatever personal experiences, this is not the place for it.

• 2:24:29Speaker 05

  So you're saying The Crying Game was a movie about communism?

• 2:24:32Speaker 14

  Why do you think I'm such a capitalist, Pat?

• 2:24:34Speaker 05

  That's subversive.

• 2:24:36Speaker 14

  Communism has killed at least 100 million people, and they show up in your house unannounced, not a good look. But you said, uh, 62% of people under 30, uh, view, and the Democratic Party view socialism favorably? Identify as socialist, is that what it was? That, this whole identifying as, identifying as a man, uh, there's a problem here. Look, I live in Miami, I went to school in Florida. I wish that I learned about the horrors of communism, and the 100 million people that have been, uh, killed because of communism, but I had to learn on the streets, the school of hard knocks. Do you know how many Soviets basically fled Russia? Moved to Miami, Cubans, Venezuelans, uh, there's a lot of red pill communities here, to kind of like, circle back.

• 2:25:21Speaker 14

  Communism is, capitalism is basically teaching somebody how to go up and talk to a girl. Hey, man, this is what girls like, here's what you gotta do, be respectful, be firm. Whereas communism is basically saying, yeah, just go sexually assault women, that's what they like.

• 2:25:37Speaker 01

  You give some weird analogies at times, that you lose me, like, I'm about to be a communist, after that break. What are you talking about?

• 2:25:46Speaker 14

  No, no, no, you should be a capitalist. You should like pretty women, not chicks with sticks.

• 2:25:52Speaker 05

  It'll make sense in a minute.

• 2:25:54Speaker 04

  Can I piggyback on top, what?

• 2:25:55Speaker 01

  Can I, let me just tell this funny story.

• 2:25:56Speaker 14

  Don't piggyback on a communist, buddy, you might end up hurt.

• 2:25:58Speaker 01

  30 seconds, I'll give it to you, to wrap up, and then we gotta finish up. Had a friend of mine when I was in the army, this guy, poor guy, saved two years of money, because his dream was to go to Brazil, to go to that annual, whatever that thing is that happens in Brazil.

• 2:26:10Speaker 05

  Oh, Carnival, in Rio.

• 2:26:12Speaker 01

  So he's like, dude, I gotta go to Carnival, so I spent my money, he didn't, he saved his money. Saved his money, goes to Carnival. Goes there for three weeks, uses military vacation time, it's a long time to go to Carnival. Benny, this guy comes back, and I'm like, so man, tell me, I'm just waiting to hear all the awesome stories. And he's a little bit shaken by it.

• 2:26:31Speaker 04

  Oh, no.

• 2:26:32Speaker 01

  I said, B, what happened? He says, well, listen, I met this beautiful girl. I said, really? And then? He says, well, then, you know, we went back, and then, I had no idea that this beautiful girl had a dangling.

• 2:26:44Speaker 04

  No.

• 2:26:45Speaker 01

  I said, you're kidding me? He said, no. I said, so, is it a dream, are you ever gonna go back to the Carnival again? And he says, I will never go back to that place ever again. So to some of the people that are watching, just brace for impact. You know, when you go, if you choose to go to Carnival, there's like, what did it call it?

• 2:27:02Speaker 04

  The cup check?

• 2:27:02Speaker 01

  The cup check, like, do a cup check, you know?

• 2:27:04Speaker 14

  Hey, PBD? PBD, I told you that story in confidence, and I was supposed to be our little secret, sir.

• 2:27:10Speaker 01

  Listen, it's a perfect timing. Can you imagine that you have to, in some places, you have to, anyways, uh, I don't know how the hell we got there, but Adam's weird analogy of capitalism communism.

• 2:27:22Speaker 05

  There's a great song by The Kinks called Lola, go listen to it. This is, this problem has been going on for decades.

• 2:27:28Speaker 01

  All right, so Lola made it come back to Brazil.

• 2:27:31Speaker 04

  That was another story, it was a quick thing about Mamdani, uh, do you guys, uh, and Connor, can you look this up? He released a searchable online database for, to make it easy for everybody to look up, you know, the New York property owners that have second homes, that are gonna go for that tax? He released it, like, basically, it made it easier for people to find them all in one place. This comes after he published the 100 worst New York City landlords, he publicly calling out landlords. So this is, by the way, and it's piggybacking off of what you said, it's not about transparency, he's creating villains. You keep telling people that landlords and wealthy property owners are the reason that they're struggling, then you hand them a public map, showing them where these people live, like, you don't, what, like, he's purposely saying, hey, listen, there's the rich people, here the enemy, go and find them. It's the same communist playbook, Pat.

• 2:28:14Speaker 04

  You pick a group, blame them for society's problems, publicly identify them, and then turn them into the enemy, and say to the people, hey, go find these people. He knows what he's doing.

• 2:28:22Speaker 01

  He knows what he's doing. Okay, all right, guys, good time with you, I thought today's Thursday, it's Friday.

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman?
