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

• 0:16Speaker 01

  You are a one of one?

• 0:16Speaker 00

  My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:21Speaker 00

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

• 0:26Speaker 01

  You are a one of one?

• 0:26Speaker 00

  My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:35Speaker 01

  Alright, gang, hope you guys had a good weekend. Obviously, I had a decent one. We had a birthday, 48. We had a good time with the family. Lots of good surprises, good relationships, good conversations. The wife got me a pretty nice gift. So, and all the birthday wishes were very, very nice from many of you. Manek was filled, DMs were sent, it was great. But anyways, we got a lot of stories to go through here. This was a weird weekend. There's a lot of crazy stuff that's going on, Vinny, that we gotta go through. And at 10 o'clock, we have an announcement that we'll be making to you about election night, as well as who'll be there with us that night and where you'll be able to see PBD Podcast on election night. But I'll get that to you as we get closer to it.

• 1:18Speaker 01

  A few things, we're glad the Pope is doing better. He was discharged. He's back at the Vatican, that's great news. You want to make sure he's doing very well. Health-wise, this is good news for a lot of folks that are following the story closely. In France, it's a mess, what's going on over there with the protesting, with the looting. I mean, we would go shopping at all these nice stores. Vinny, this is like a really nice area in France where High End, Patek, Louis, all these stores, you go shopping, they're destroying them. They're saying it's students, oh, it's students, students are not happy, students are not happy. Why don't these students show their faces? Why is it that when you pull the students' faces, they all look like they came from Afghanistan? They all look like they came from a country in the Middle East that hates Europe.

• 2:02Speaker 01

  They hate the Western way of doing things. Why is that? Is it students? Is that manipulation? Are they trying to confuse and gaslight a lot of different people? We'll have a talk, talk about that. There's so many great and tragic clips. One woman is in front of her store, it's like, dude, what are you doing? I'm a business owner, leave this place, go to a different place. There is a video of two girls going through the street while the looting and the fires are taking place. One's got a pink luggage, the other one's, I think, got a blue or a green luggage. They're just walking through it while the madness is taking place. Imagine you're on vacation, like, hey babe, let's go to France, go shopping, let's go to France, let's go. And then you go there and boom, this is what's taking place, and we'll talk about that. And then some of this stuff, they're saying it's happening in Milan and other places. I think that's manipulation. Tom's got some thoughts on that.

• 2:48Speaker 01

  Katie Zachariah lasted five days. Apparently, while she was being interviewed, Jason Miller came in and said, hey, JD wants to talk to you. She had to go to the back to talk to JD and we never saw her again in the interview. And then next thing you know, while that is taking place, while that is taking place with the interview, we find out she's done, okay? And she's been out of it. And if you remember last week when we were talking, I said, I can guarantee you, there was a handful of other people that were up there as options and few people probably turned it down because, one, nobody wants to follow Caroline Levitt and some people probably couldn't do it. Now rumors came out that one of them was Maria Bartiromo and number two was Scott Jennings.

• 3:30Speaker 01

  And so there's a clause of nine months, which will get into what Maria could talk about, couldn't talk about. So even though she was approached, Trump wanted her. Apparently, allegedly, that's what was taking place and it didn't happen. So somewhere in the world, Anthony Scaramucci is upset that his Guinness Book of World Record was broken by Katie Zachariah. And even Anthony Scaramucci gave her some love and, hey, here's what I suggest you do this weekend. Alyssa Slotkin, okay, who was a former member of the Obama administration, came up and said something very weird. Says, we want conservative students who come out to be afraid of joining the Republican or, you know, I want the deterrence message.

• 4:13Speaker 01

  Michigan Dems Slotkin wants to prosecute Trump administration to scare off young conservatives. So they want, they're telling you their plan. They want to scare the crap out of the youth, so they don't want to go join the conservative movement afterwards. We will address that. We will address what Abdul El-Sayed is saying lately, to the point, you know it's bad when CNN has turned on you. You know, things are getting very, very bad. When CNN puts a poll there, plus, minus, and Scott Jennings is out there saying all the things that this guy said in the past, and Dear Abby is trying to do her best to protect it. And he's like, well, well this and well that. And then all of a sudden, Ilhan Omar, Tom Homan's being interviewed. It's like, is something gonna happen here? Something gonna happen here? Something gonna happen here?

• 4:56Speaker 01

  And then all of a sudden, you know, Obama comes out to defend it, to defend it. Is it on the, hang on one second, to defend it. Long tweet, long tweet of defending it, and then people came back at Obama, so we'll share that with you as well. Outside of that SpaceX, Elon just announced a few minutes ago this morning that he wants to give every kid in America a share of SpaceX. That's pretty bold, from his own equity, not anybody else. Remember, you talked about this a few years ago, when he said, there will come a time where you don't have to worry about working, you only work because you need to. This is kind of starting to take place. And Anthropic announced, I think it was maybe this morning, maybe late last night, could

• 5:36Speaker 01

  have happened, that they want to give 5% of it away to Americans. So meaning like a 5% of Anthropic's share when they go public is for the American people. It's not for them, they want to give it away. It's kind of weird because the bylaws, what they're putting in there is the fact that those people that get those shares don't have the same, you know, what do you call it, power as a regular shareholder has. We'll get into that as well. Ukraine showed a very unique drone that they have. You know what this drone does? It's like a drone comes down Stargate, comes down a soldier, picks up the soldier, looks like a casket, and then moves them out. A drone comes and saves you. Can you imagine? I'll show you the clip here in a minute when we get into it. Talk about advancement with technology.

• 6:20Speaker 01

  And then there's an article that came out that says, meet the manly men who want to reunite the Democratic Party. Abdul El-Sayed's got a problem with the black voters, we'll get into that, Latino voters and Trump, they're saying, hey, he gained them last time. Is he gonna gain it again? Who knows? And what's gonna happen to them? And Tom's got a very good take because Trump got a lot of independent voters. Are they gonna show up in the midterms? And by the way, with this whole midterms thing that's going on, probably the thing that matters to me the most that we were talking about this morning, Trump brought up, there is a Supreme Court seat that if they have to remove it, Clarence Thomas is 78 years old right now. Depending on what happens with the midterms, remember the date, December 18th. Tom will break it down for you, December 18th.

• 7:05Speaker 01

  If they don't, if, let's just say we lose Senate and Senate flips and Republicans lose Senate and it's the other way around, they're gonna be like, no, we're not gonna put somebody in there right now. No, we're not gonna put somebody in there right now. No, we're not gonna put somebody in there right now. Then the Dems can campaign behind having a Democratic president to give up that seat to somebody on the left in 2028. So even though everyone's worried about the midterms, what really matters behind closed doors is the Supreme Court justice seat Clarence Thomas, who, again, 78 years old. He wanted to step down last time, a few years ago. I think it was the first term, or one of those things, we'll go through it together with you. Very important, I told you about the Obama deal.

• 7:49Speaker 01

  MLB, smallest spenders dominate the biggest spenders. You know who the biggest spenders were? Led by the Dodgers, you know who the other one was?

• 7:57Speaker 02

  Jankies.

• 7:57Speaker 01

  Led by the Jankies. Of course, you know, the Mets had one of the worst records, no matter how much money Com put behind it, they couldn't win one if they tried to, you know, save their lives, they couldn't do anything. It was pretty bad for them.

• 8:09Speaker 02

  And he'd prefer that you not mention him now.

• 8:12Speaker 01

  Yes, that's right. But it is what it is.

• 8:13Speaker 02

  Can you leave me out of this?

• 8:14Speaker 01

  But I have to show you a couple of things. And then hopefully, when we get to the end of it, we'll get a chance for me to share a couple of things with parents, parents that you may want to see. I asked a question the other day, I made a mistake, Vinny. Very rarely do I make these types of mistakes. But I asked a question, I said, hey, Drew gave me a haircut. And I sent the video, I said, tell me what I look like.

• 8:33Speaker 02

  Great.

• 8:33Speaker 01

  Be honest.

• 8:34Speaker 02

  You thought people were gonna be nice? You thought, did you really think people were gonna be like, man, you look 38?

• 8:38Speaker 01

  I'm an optimistic guy. Can people want to be positive and say good things? Literally, 80% of people said I look 32. I appreciate that.

• 8:49Speaker 02

  Good looking out there.

• 8:50Speaker 01

  Everybody's like, hey, you look 48, you look your age, you look 55, you look 56, you look 60, you look 52. And the problem is, Tom's got the other problem. Tom looks younger, nobody can tell Tom's age, and I got the other side. I was 16 years old, dating 32-year-olds. People thought I was like, you know, I always look older, you know, because of what I had.

• 9:09Speaker 02

  You were how old?

• 9:10Speaker 01

  That's a joke, when I'm telling you this story, 1632. Okay, so with that being said, we have an announcement we'll make to you at 10 o'clock, but we got something we're dropping that for some of you that are hardcore Second Amendment, you love America, we have the latest hats that just came out. These are the Future Looks Bright hat that came out, the different colors that we have, gray and black, brown and black, purple and black. But then we have this one that came up, the yellow. By the way, this will go in a second. I would suggest you pick up all four of them because they're part of the same series. We only have a couple hundred of these. And on the side, to the right, when you put it on, can you go to the, don't thread on me, this is, people ask for it, can we get something like this with the color?

• 9:53Speaker 01

  We did, it's officially here, limited supply. Go to FLB.com to place your order. Let's put the link below as well, plus the... QR code, I don't know if we have it on the homepage or not, but to make it easier, uh, what should they put on there? The Gadsden hat? When they're going out there, they're not going to find that, but is it on the homepage? That's what I want to know. Are these hats on the homepage when people go there or no?

• 10:15Speaker 03

  I don't think so.

• 10:16Speaker 01

  It's not on the homepage. Okay, so let's put the link below for people to go find it, even if they're on Spotify, where do you have to go to?

• 10:22Speaker 03

  It's featured.

• 10:22Speaker 01

  Go to featured. So if you go on FLB.com, go lower featured, you'll see the yellow hat. Uh, and the other ones for you to pick up, again, go to FLB.com to pick up the hats. Before we get into the story and I'll make the announcement at, uh, 10 o'clock, one of the things I, uh, that happened last Friday, we had a podcast with this fellow named Adam. Whether you liked him or not, I read the comment section. Yeah, I'll never watch him again. If you ever have him on, I'll never have him on. I like having different personalities on. But a comment was made that I didn't like. They had to watch it afterwards. And I'm given the opportunity to Adam to speak to you right now about what was said last time. The comment was about his mother and I'll let you clarify for yourself.

• 11:04Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. Well, uh, thank you for the opportunity to clarify, Pat. I think, uh, it was not my intent to disrespect the guy. Uh, I do think it was his intent to come on the podcast and clearly disrupt and basically provoke us. And unfortunately I took the bait and I made an inappropriate comment and I apologize for that. And, uh, I'll take, I apologized to him after the show. I shook his hand. I, uh, multiple people around, I said, listen, man, I'm, I'm sorry. I've lost my father as well. And he was in the room, he lost his father. Inappropriate joke. I apologize to you, PBD. I know that's not what we stand for. So just want to take this opportunity to apologize. I own it. Inappropriate joke and I'll do better. Sorry about that.

• 11:47Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 11:47Speaker 04

  And during the heat of the moment when that was going down, and I, I think the audience expects more of me, I turned and said, Adam didn't say anything. I, I wasn't paying attention. I didn't hear it live. I looked at the tape and there it was. It was said. And I looked like I was running cover for Adam and worse, I looked like that I was being deceptive on the show. I apologize to the audience for that. That's not who I am. You know, I call balls and strikes. I apologize. I was wrong.

• 12:14Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 12:15Speaker 04

  Comment was said and I shouldn't have defended.

• 12:17Speaker 01

  And you know what? Thank you for both of you guys. I'm the host. I'm the guy here. I'm the point guard. So everything falls on me and, uh, that's not my, uh, uh, standards. I don't like that at all. And when I'm in the middle of doing things and I ask, I said, hey, did you say that? You said no. And then I went in that mode. I also didn't like that, but you know, we're going to make mistakes and we're going to, uh, address them when we do. This was one of those moments. And, uh, to be honest with you, I, when you get a guy like that, I know what his game plan is. That's his job. He's a guy that's supposed to come in and ruffle the feathers and try to get some clips. And he did that. That's what they're supposed to be doing. Their job is to come in to try to do that. As long as you're respectful, we'll invite them back, but there's no reason, uh, ever that we need to get to that level of commentary with them. I don't like that. We wanted to make sure

• 13:02Speaker 01

  we make that statement to you and move forward. So with that being said, I want to get to our first story. First story. Katie Zachariah gets announced as the, uh, press secretary. Five days later, she is doing an interview. Jason Miller comes in, says JD wants to talk to you, goes to talk to JD. The interview doesn't happen. I think it's a Wall Street Journal interview, if I'm not mistaken. And then she leaves, five days, Trump even asked, do you want this job in a conversation? Do you really want this job? I don't know if I want this job. Mother, four kids, family lives in California and they're young kids, 12, 10, all this stuff. And for me, the moment I saw Sean Hannity interview her, the way he did last week, I'm like, this is it. If Sean Hannity's interviewing

• 13:44Speaker 01

  the way that he did, if at that point, this is a heavyweight, Sean's a heavyweight who knows what's going on in the marketplace. If he sees that and he's going through it, they're like, yeah, this is not going to work out. He's out. And then last week, if you remember on the podcast, one of the things that I said is, is I don't think this was a first choice. I think there were other people who had the position and the job that they had, that, you know, they had this person as maybe top five, Katie, she's talented, she's talented, she's capable, not at the level of Maria Bartiromo. The story came up that Maria was also offered a job, but there was some implications and some things in the contract that she couldn't take the job, as well as Scott Jennings. Okay. So I think, Tom, if you can share this with the audience, that what is the difference between Maria

• 14:28Speaker 01

  not being able to do the job versus Scott Jennings on their contracts? One with Fox, one with CNN?

• 14:33Speaker 04

  Well, first of all, when the rumors came up that, uh, Fox wanted Maria Bartiromo, um, I was happy. Uh, she's a professional. She's strong. She understands. She's been around the media wars. She would know how to deal with the people in the room. And also she's very, very spun up on the world events and business and the things that go around. I thought it was a great choice. Apparently her transition from Fox business, uh, there's, there's a couple of different reports are out there and I don't want to say the, um, the, where those are because they weren't like the Wall Street Journal, but they indicated that there is an extended period, like a, like a tail period, like she's off the air, but then they're going to pay her through the end of her contract, maybe a year. In

• 15:18Speaker 04

  the UK, this is often called, uh, gardening leave, that where you're in your back garden and you're just waiting out the end of your contract. And when your contract's over, you can go work for somebody. So apparently Maria had a Fox contract where during that time period, the extended, the severance period or the end of her contract, she can't go take a job like this. She's precluded because she's literally sort of quietly sitting on the sidelines. Uh, that was that. I don't know what was with Scott Jennings, but he has this new agreement with CNN and I don't know if he could break that. And so apparently there were two, and we heard the rumors about it, very qualified, strong choices that, uh,

• 16:00Speaker 04

  the president couldn't get into the seat, couldn't get into the position. Uh, and then, uh, the third one they went to, if you want me to cover that?

• 16:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, for sure.

• 16:09Speaker 04

  That apparently was Kristi Noem said, hey Natalie, I think this would, I think, uh, Katie Zachariah would be very, very good. So there was some, uh, internal nomination and don't know what went through that, but I guess they kind of missed the lawyer attorney thing in the background and here we are, short tenure.

• 16:29Speaker 02

  And whatever they need to do, Pat, they need to do it now. This is a crucial time. 15 days away from the freaking midterms. The White House doesn't have a press secretary out there. They need a strong voice at the podium, like today, like we need it to, to go, all the attacks, all the administration plans, who, who the, the races are and everything to leave it open, Tom. This long, when's the last time, uh, Carolyn Levitt was even there? Has it been a month? They haven't said anything, Pat, from the podium. Who's been talking from the podium? Before, uh, Katie Zachariah, I haven't seen anybody. They need somebody now. They need to start, I, I think Scott Jennings would be a perfect thing, Tom. You mentioned something about the, the contract, but I think when it comes to, you know, working for?

• 17:07Speaker 01

  Is this Kelsey? What is Kelsey telling us? Kelsey's telling us, number one is who?

• 17:10Speaker 04

  I think, uh,

• 17:11Speaker 01

  Anna Kelly?

• 17:12Speaker 04

  Anna Kelly.

• 17:12Speaker 01

  Anna Kelly and then Scott Jennings and who's three?

• 17:14Speaker 04

  Uh,

• 17:15Speaker 01

  Elizabeth Pippco?

• 17:16Speaker 02

  She's good.

• 17:16Speaker 01

  We know Pippco.

• 17:17Speaker 04

  I like her.

• 17:18Speaker 01

  Yeah, we know Pippco, but, uh, Anna Kelly, what do we know about Anna Kelly? Do you know anything about Anna Kelly?

• 17:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think she's actually the deputy press secretary. So that's why they think that she's going to be number one. Um, over the last 25 years, there's been, I think, I think, I think it's going to be a female. I, I think she's going to be the person. I, I would assume. And I'll tell you why. In the last 25 years, I think there's been an equal distribution of who's been the press secretary, meaning male or female.

• 17:43Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 17:43Speaker 03

  So in the last 25 years, I want to say there's been like 20 different press secretaries, but in the last 10 years, it's been all women. Since Sean Spicer, it hasn't been a female. And if you know anything about Trump, he likes the ladies, he likes the pretty ladies. My assumption that a capable, strong female will be the press secretary. Not sure what happened with this nonsense with Katie Zachariah. I think, you know, taking ownership and accountability, uh, this was a, a mess. I can't believe that she lasted less time than Scaramucci, who was the last male press secretary, if I recall. But, uh, they got to do better. And, you know, like they say in football, next man up. In this case, I think it's going to be next woman up, who potentially is Anna Kelly.

• 18:24Speaker 01

  You think this does anything to her career? Does this?

• 18:27Speaker 03

  I actually think it helps her career.

• 18:29Speaker 01

  You think so? Tell me why.

• 18:30Speaker 03

  I'll tell you why. Because did you know her name before this?

• 18:32Speaker 01

  I did. The average person, no.

• 18:34Speaker 02

  The average person, no.

• 18:35Speaker 03

  So, look.

• 18:36Speaker 02

  You think that's going to help though? If, if you're claimed to now, you're claimed to fame?

• 18:39Speaker 03

  This is a, this is a bigger conversation. I think we're living in a society that, that doesn't distinguish between good and bad. It's eyeballs at this point, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. It's reality. Attention is good or she's getting attention. I'm not saying it's good attention, but attention is overall good these days. Here's a lady that you didn't really even know her name a month ago. Now she's the lead story on the PBD podcast. So this will work out well for her in the end.

• 19:03Speaker 01

  Yeah. I mean, listen, like I said, Scaramucci said, look, advice from me to you, turn off the phone, go spend time with your family, enjoy yourself. This is going to pass. You don't have to worry about it. It's, I thought, I thought it was a very good counsel from Scaramucci.

• 19:15Speaker 03

  Yeah, but he's also.

• 19:16Speaker 01

  To give feedback like that, yeah.

• 19:17Speaker 03

  He's also probably happy that he's not, uh,

• 19:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, you're speaking as the world's leading expert on short White House tenures.

• 19:22Speaker 03

  There you go.

• 19:23Speaker 01

  Turn off the news and go enjoy your family in time. You realize that the universe did you a major favor. Of course, he's not a fan of Trump.

• 19:29Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 19:29Speaker 01

  Yeah. So that, that's that part. Okay. So now, next message to get to is with what's going on is France. I mean, we got clips on top of clips with this. So imagine you are there with your girlfriend, you and your friend are in France and you're just there on vacation. I want you to start off with that clip. So these two girls are in France enjoying themselves and look what's going on around them. They're just on vacation.

• 19:52Speaker 03

  That's crazy.

• 19:53Speaker 01

  Wait a minute. What the hell are we doing here?

• 19:55Speaker 03

  Is this real?

• 19:55Speaker 01

  This is real.

• 19:56Speaker 03

  This is not AI.

• 19:57Speaker 01

  What the hell are we doing here? No, this is real. You know, they're, they're trying to make it through. People are running around. You're seeing all these things being thrown. They're like, uh, let's go, can we go to a restaurant tonight? Are there any reservations? Can we go to a nice restaurant tonight? So anyways, this story erupts and let me, let me properly read the story. Set it up, Tom. I'll come to you and if any, I'll come to you afterwards.

• 20:18Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 20:20Speaker 01

  It's insanity right now with, you know, the fires. So clashes and fires break out as protesters rally across France, joining students that you'll keep hearing this thing about joining students, as if students are the ones that are really, really pissed off at this. It's joining students and not saying they're not. This is not that students are not upset with what's going on. But it's not the students that are going and looting and stealing Louis Vuitton bags. Other people saw that as an opportunity to say, hey, let's go join the students and these guys are not going to commit crimes, but we will go commit to crimes ourselves and we'll steal. So cars went set on fire, shops were looted in Paris on Saturday as police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse violent protesters

• 21:02Speaker 01

  who joined nationwide demonstrations against rising living costs and in support of high school students grievances. Interior Minister Laurent Nunez's office reported a growing number of violent incidents across the country, including assaults on officers, looting and damage on public buildings. Police made out these 272 arrests. Protesters responded to calls on social media to revive the Yellow Vest movement, which emerged in 2018 against social injustice as gasoline, energy and food prices have spiked in the recent months. In Lyon, where about 20,000 protesters marched, a fire broke out inside a tourist office. In Marcel, some shops and municipal police stations were damaged and protesters briefly forced their way into the lobby of a city hall.

• 21:45Speaker 01

  Can you show some of the videos where this lady? Yeah, look at this right here, the historic town hall burned down. Okay, now who's doing that?

• 21:55Speaker 03

  Protest, nothing to see here, guys.

• 21:57Speaker 01

  Celebrating, do you hear the sound? Celebrating, go to the other one. Go to the other one where the lady is in front of her store saying, what are you guys doing? You know, look at this, she's just pleading like, leave this place alone. Okay, don't go and the guys are pushing around, out of the way. Hey, move, let me get my stuff and leave.

• 22:20Speaker 01

  You think these are college students?

• 22:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 22:22Speaker 01

  You think these are students?

• 22:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, at school.

• 22:24Speaker 01

  So Tom, what led to this and what do you think about what's going on over there in France right now?

• 22:28Speaker 04

  First of all, what we have here is similar to the BLM riots. And before everybody jumps down my throat, we now know that there were external agitators. And what we're showing on here, are we showing this on the live right now? We're showing pallets of stuff with empty glass bottles, just like that there were pallets of bricks. There were pallets of things. So there are organizers behind the BLM riots. And we had tragedy in the riots and we had a very real issue to deal with as a nation, which started it. But there were others, there were Antifa that came in and took advantage of it because they had a different purpose. The same thing is happening in France. There are legitimate concerns about and protests that are going on

• 23:11Speaker 04

  about cost of living, about the education, about schools, about overcrowding, about the quality of that. And there were regular citizens. You know how you can tell the regular citizens, Pat? When you see these? Because it looks like a crowd at a sporting event. There's all kinds of color in there. And then all of a sudden, you look in here, it's like what we saw before. Everybody wearing black masks and hoods, except two tourists pushing little suitcases. Everybody else is in black. Pallets of glass are being dropped off. So the same thing is happening there. There is, there are third party organizers. Now I go to Milan. Milan, there was, they said it was an organized peaceful protest downtown.

• 23:53Speaker 04

  And then what happened was agitators showed up with, you know, armed with projectiles. Let me tell you what projectile is, bottle or brick? That's what it is. And so they were armed. So wait a minute, what's going on? What's going on is you have forces out there, Pat, that are joining up with these triggers of riots to take down the West. That's what we're going, these are globalists. These people want to take down the West. And you know who's running cover for them? The frickin' news media refer to, oh, students and mostly peaceful. As if using the word mostly peaceful. Yeah, I could say the World War II was mostly peaceful. If you add up every hour of the day.

• 24:37Speaker 04

  He said, well, they were only fighting 11 hours of the day.

• 24:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 24:39Speaker 04

  This is horrifying, but Pat, we can absolutely see that, I'm not saying it's Antifa, but there are organizers doing the same thing, dropping off projectiles, dropping off pallets, and just a ton of people coming in wearing masks, hoodies, all black. It's the same formula.

• 24:58Speaker 01

  Can you play this clip from BBC that says mostly peaceful? Watch this, folks.

• 27:38Speaker 07

  They were mostly peaceful.

• 27:40Speaker 01

  Though mostly peaceful. I mean, do you not lose credibility for saying things like this? Let me give you some stats here. 2,400 arrests, nearly 1,000 police injured, according to Reuters, one protester dead, 3,000 businesses damaged, this is according to AP, 160,000 demonstrators, 6,059 arrests in eight days, okay? 87% were minors of the 5,060 people taken into police custody during the earlier period. 1,949 arrests in one day. 50 Carrefour stores affected. France's major supermarket chain reported significant damages. 200 investigators assigned in Paris to examine social media footage

• 28:25Speaker 01

  and identify those responsible for violence. And guess where Macron was at? Do you know, can you guys take a while, guess where Macron was at, Vinnie?

• 28:35Speaker 02

  Was he, hold on, was he like in his headquarters trying to get a plan to stop the military?

• 28:40Speaker 04

  Was he in the French Situation Room maybe with some of his advisers?

• 28:43Speaker 02

  Was he in there having like a baguette?

• 28:46Speaker 01

  A responsible-

• 28:46Speaker 04

  French Laundry?

• 28:47Speaker 01

  President would be at a Celine Dion concert.

• 28:50Speaker 04

  Oh, okay.

• 28:51Speaker 02

  Oh, okay.

• 28:52Speaker 01

  He was at a Celine Dion concert. And when he came out to make comments about it, do you have the clip of what Macron had to say? I'm curious if you have that or not. Here's what Macron had to say and whose fault it is with all of this. Go for it.

• 29:04Speaker 07

  Mix up those people, those men and women who protested peacefully with losers and writers. Because there are people out there who rightfully feel that the price of fuel is going to high, a price which has increased because of what is happening in the Persian Gulf, a war that France was not part of.

• 29:23Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 29:24Speaker 01

  We didn't do this, yeah.

• 29:25Speaker 02

  Trump, oh, it's Trump.

• 29:27Speaker 01

  Deflect, so you don't think he's going to get a phone call from Trump when he says a comment like that?

• 29:31Speaker 02

  He's been sticking up for him and speaking public.

• 29:33Speaker 04

  What was the exact comment he made?

• 29:34Speaker 02

  That's exactly the-

• 29:35Speaker 04

  But what was it?

• 29:36Speaker 01

  Go to the last 10 seconds?

• 29:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:39Speaker 07

  is going to higher price, which has increased because of what happened in the Persian Gulf.

• 29:43Speaker 01

  A war.

• 29:44Speaker 02

  War. Hey, we're not involved in. So, hey, this is Trump. This is Trump. But by the way, if you're sitting out there, you're watching all these clips and you're like, oh, my God, and we were fed the students parentheses. Don't, don't lie to yourself and don't let them get you. This is not an organic protest. Tom, you nailed it. It's BLM 2.0. We saw it with the bricks. We saw like, nobody, by the way, to have a pallet set up perfectly in the street.

• 30:07Speaker 03

  And we're not guessing. There was multiple footage, multiple pallets.

• 30:10Speaker 02

  Absolutely. Same playbook. And by the way.

• 30:12Speaker 03

  Came from where?

• 30:13Speaker 02

  And who's funding it? It looks like a communist takeover. Okay, don't, again, don't fall for the student protest. According to Fox News Digital, the, the student protests over education cuts are being hijacked by all these communist network activities, labor unions. So there's a guy called Azra Noomani. He tracked 50 groups and what she called a red, green alliance involving all the organizations and stuff. So, ready for this? Out of all that 50, only 15 groups are roughly one out of three were youth student groups. The other 35 are adult organizations, 12 labor groups, eight communist or socialist organizations, five civil rights and human rights groups, five groups focused on issues ranging from taxes to media, four political parties, including La France Insoumise

• 30:56Speaker 02

  and French Communist Party, one Palestinian advocacy group and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. Now, Macron doing his thing is out there, but Pat, they said, who, which guy was, uh, um, this is the guy right here. It's funded. They're saying reportedly funded by a guy named Neville Roy Singum. The American tech tycoon who's living in China, who's a communist. These, when I tell people, there's, when you look at it and it's not organic, who is at the top? Who is paying for all these people, giving them their outfits, giving them their gas masks, giving them, guys, dropping off pallets of cash? Always look, it's, it's the George Soros's, it's the Roy Singum. They want this civil unrest.

• 31:38Speaker 02

  Okay. And I don't know if you guys noticed, Connor, I sent it to, to you, the video of inside of one of these stores. One of my favorite shows, the first 48, you get to watch as these detectives go out and they, you know, find out what's going on in the clues. I'm obsessed with this show. I, I, I did my first 48. They recorded inside of a supermarket. Guys, they ransacked the store. They stole all the food. They stole everything, but they didn't touch any of the pork products. You guys want to take a wild guess what type of message that's getting out? These are second generation people that are not from there, Pat. They're not eating the pork. They're stealing everything else. They didn't steal any alcohol, but they took all the food except for the pork.

• 32:14Speaker 03

  And Vinnie, I need to back Vinnie up here, and I'm going to back him up with a calendar. This started on October 1st as 1,000 of France's 3,700 Lyces, L Y C E E S, which is a high school. That's French, that's a high school. 1,000 of them were affected by protests about overcrowding, um, uh, quality of education, immigrants taking seats and a variety of things. And there were also 222, Pat, that citizens blockaded, so they prevented school from taking place. That was on October 1st. That's where it started. Suddenly, the 15th to 17th, it expanded

• 32:55Speaker 03

  as trade unions and what used to be called yellow vests, joined in it. So guess what, Pat? Look at that timing. The, the, this guy who is funding it and the, you know, their version of Antifa, guess what happened, Pat? They saw the protests that were going on at the schools and they said, this is exactly it. They hijack it. It took 14 days to, to organize, 14 days to deploy. And the 15th to 17th, they came out burning things. Now, I will have to say this. There was a lot of Pujols that were burned. If you burn a Pujol, you're doing the owner a favor.

• 33:30Speaker 02

  To car for everybody that's out there that doesn't know. At Pujol.

• 33:33Speaker 03

  But that's what happened, Pat. Look at this. On the 1st of October, peaceful protests, citizens like you and me, upset about education. Then 14 days later, hijacked, black hoods, black masks, black, um, sweats, everybody unidentifiable, running around and pallets of projectiles. Gee, what happened?

• 33:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, Nick Shirley was there. Nick Shirley went up to a guy and goes, are you Antifa? He goes, yeah, I am Antifa. By the way, my cousin Rumson is there with his family.

• 34:02Speaker 03

  Really?

• 34:03Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. And he's coming back tomorrow. He's like, Vinnie, we can't go anywhere. We're.

• 34:06Speaker 01

  Can I ask you a question? So here's, here's a question I got for you. Okay. Basic question. So if I ask you right, if you ask me right now, give me some stats. I told you the numbers that I shared with you earlier. 2,400 arrests. What's your follow-up question?

• 34:22Speaker 03

  Who was arrested?

• 34:23Speaker 01

  Exactly. What do you want to know?

• 34:25Speaker 02

  Where are they from? Are they, are they local?

• 34:27Speaker 03

  Excuse me, sir. Can you give me a kind of a, a rough, uh, was there anything typical? Was there any profile information you can give us about the people that were arrested?

• 34:33Speaker 01

  What else do you want to know?

• 34:35Speaker 03

  Says, uh, age group. Are these French citizens? Are they from somewhere else?

• 34:39Speaker 01

  By the way, for the audience that's watching this, I just want you to ask you, say you're running a country and your name is Macron. Say you're a governor, you're a mayor, you're a senator, you're somebody that's leading a place and you just had 2,400 arrests, 3,000 businesses damaged, 1,000 police officers injured. Can you tell me, what do you want to know about those 2,400 arrested?

• 35:01Speaker 02

  First, the demographic of the people, like what, what, what ethnicity, the other day?

• 35:05Speaker 01

  Age background.

• 35:06Speaker 02

  Number two, who's, is somebody bailing them out? Is there a certain group that's going to be taking these people out of jail?

• 35:12Speaker 01

  What else do you want to know, Adam? Tom, what else do you want to know about these 2,400 people arrested?

• 35:16Speaker 03

  I want to know if they're citizens or not. I'm.

• 35:18Speaker 01

  I want to know what percentage are immigrants. Then I want to know what country you came from. Then I want to publicly announce this. Then I want to go to the parliament or whoever their congress senators and say, hey, here's what you just happened. And to put it on students of the 2,400 people arrested, only 88 were students. By the way, if 2,300 are students, guess what?

• 35:37Speaker 02

  Good for you.

• 35:38Speaker 01

  And if the 2,300 students arrested were natural born citizens of France, then France has got a bigger problem to deal with. But if the 2,400 students arrested, of the 2,400 people arrested, 2,200 of them are not even students. And they are immigrants from other countries that came here the last three, four, five years. You have to go find out what countries they're coming from. Put a ban right there. Do you know the apprehension right now for the borders? You know how low the numbers are?

• 36:05Speaker 02

  Are, 60?

• 36:05Speaker 01

  You know how many years? 60 years, all time low. Why do you think that is? You think Tom Homan kind of knew what he was doing? You think maybe if France and some of these countries really know what they're doing, to maybe hire Tom Homan as a consultant? Maybe bring Tom Homan and say, how did you clean up borders so quickly? How, how did you do this yourself so quickly? Maybe if you truly want to do this, bring Tom Homan. He can come and help you. I don't show you what to do. Why don't you do that? Why don't you make that, uh, uh, decision? But, but these guys are playing politics themselves. Look, there gets to a time where when they say, you know, police officers are not doing their job right and they can do a better job. Why do you think they can't do their job right?

• 36:45Speaker 01

  Because the moment if they try to do their job right, they get arrested. They're not fair. They're not this. They're not that. That's a problem, Adam. Your thoughts on this story and then we'll get into it.

• 36:53Speaker 03

  Do me a favor. I agree with everything you said. Guys, Humberto O'Connor, can you just pull up the last picture you had with Nick Shirley? That's important. It was just right on the screen. There you go.

• 37:01Speaker 02

  That's the Antifa guy.

• 37:02Speaker 03

  Here, here we go. So what I've noticed with all these protests and protesting is okay. It's what do you stand for? What I look for is the number one thing in any protest is what flag are they waving? So if you look at this picture right here, what flag happens to be in the background of the chaotic French protests? Well, none other than the Palestinian flag. And if you look at these protests, that's all you see. So if you go to a, a January 6th thing, you're going to see a lot of American flags. Okay. If you go to Unite the Kingdom, uh, rally that Tommy Robinson does, it's all British flags. Why, whenever there's chaos, burning, absolute uncontrolledness, absolute chaos, do you see the Palestinian flag wherever you go?

• 37:46Speaker 03

  Here's a student protest in France. You would expect to see French flags, no? Eh, oui, oui. No, no, monsieur. You're going to see the Palestinian flag. Why is it that wherever you see the Palestinian flag, you will see chaos and burn it all down mentality? Because that mentality is, is bigger than Palestine. It's a burn it all down at all cost mentality and they do not build up. That's why the literal Palestinian Hamas take all the money they received from the global world and built down into terror tunnels. Here's my thing. We just hear, we just saw Dennis Prager talk about the key to happiness is being grateful.

• 38:27Speaker 03

  And he said leftists, specifically the red, green alliance that you mentioned, Islamic Marxist, absolute leftists, cannot have gratitude. They cannot be happy because they are completely ungrateful. All these people came from third world into France, which is essentially the cornerstone of the first world Western ideology, and they want to burn it all down. It's a complete lack of gratitude, a complete lack of respect for the country that took you in. And last but not least, you've seen Trump give these, these speeches at the UN. You've seen, you've seen Marco Rubio give this speech at the Acropolis, I believe, a couple of weeks ago. What's the common thread in all these speeches?

• 39:09Speaker 03

  We, Western world, Western ideology, we love you, we respect you. You built what basically America's founded on. Don't forget where you came from. And every single turn, we see Canada, France, the British government, everything, just invite these people that want to burn it all down and it's not going to work.

• 39:28Speaker 01

  And, and look, this, this is all leading to, you know, the, the, the people around the world watching to see what's going to happen with midterms. And to get into this, I have a special guest with me here today that will be making an announcement together. And, uh, something that we've been working on and, and I'm excited about this because of election night, what happened two years ago with election night, we ran the number one livestream worldwide. We went and spent some time with Google and YouTube and they, they were, obviously this is leading to the 2020 at election night. We're going to put a pretty big event together here, but this is a small little whisper of what's happening next. And to make the announcement to you of what's going to happen on election night, we decided to bring on board the, uh, uh, as a guest, the CEO of C-SPAN. Sam, can you hear us?

• 40:10Speaker 07

  I do. It's great to see you out there.

• 40:11Speaker 01

  It's great to see you as well. So we're excited. I, I'll, I'll turn it over to you. Obviously, C-SPAN is a brand that we all know and follow many years when we're watching election and debates and different things that's taking place. Uh, uh, C-SPAN is a very reputable and known brand. Sam, what, what's going to be happening with us on election night together?

• 40:30Speaker 07

  It's going to be great. I'm, could not be more excited. So election night, November 3rd. Uh, it's, I think everybody, and you've been talking about on the show, this is going to be a great election night because we just don't know exactly what's going to happen.

• 40:41Speaker 00

  C-SPAN, as you know, has three television networks, C-SPAN, C-SPAN 2, C-SPAN 3. And C-SPAN is known for, for nonpartisan, non-ideological coverage. We put everything on, we put the Republicans on, the Democrats on. So on C-SPAN, we're going to have our traditional election night coverage, which I'm very excited about. However, and this is the big reveal, on election night, this podcast will be live on C-SPAN networks. We're going to have, when you come on the air for election night, we're going to have you on not just streaming, not just YouTube, but also on television. We're going to do the same thing for The Young Turks.

• 41:22Speaker 00

  So we've got a conservative podcast and a conservative election night coverage. And we have a liberal election night coverage. In fact, last time, last election, I think I saw each of you on each other's programs.

• 41:33Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 41:34Speaker 00

  But it's going to be great. And so we're gonna, by doing this, I think expose your program to a different audience, a television audience that might not normally be tuning in to a podcast on election night. And also, as folks flip the channels between, between the networks, they're going to be able to see you and your team.

• 41:54Speaker 01

  Well, that's great, Sam. We're excited about this partnership as well. And all of this leading into 2028, we know what's going to happen there with the Super Bowl of this space, this, this sport of politics, right? You know, you, you either love this sport or you don't. There's something very competitive and interesting about this sport. And so I applaud you guys for choosing both a, you know, a Young Turks, which would be on the left, and one that would be more on the conservative side, where the audience that gets access to it on C-SPAN. Any, any final thoughts that you want to share with us, why you chose PBD Podcast to be the podcast on C-SPAN?

• 42:27Speaker 00

  Yeah, so I'll give you an example. For the Republican midterm convention in September, we programmed C-SPAN with, with that programming. But on C-SPAN 2, we programmed it with Democratic candidates' live events that they held to counter-program. Because this is, we want to make sure that we were, we reach out to independents, conservatives, liberals. And that's why we decided to do this. We, we talked with YouTube, we're, you know, we air on YouTube TV. And we said, who are the best podcasts to do on election night? And they said, well, you've got to look, you got to look at PBD for election night. They did an incredible election night last time. I was actually in the C-SPAN control room, so I went back and watched you guys afterwards. It was fantastic.

• 43:12Speaker 00

  You were doing results, you were doing perspective. And so we thought having PBD and having Young Turks was a perfect, balanced view of podcasts and perspectives out there. And we thought that it would be a great, a great way to showcase the, the variety of perspectives that are going to be out there on election night. We just thought it'd be perfect.

• 43:33Speaker 01

  Well, Sam, thank you for doing that, for having both sides, so the audience can decide for themselves. And we're excited about this partnership where it's going to take us. And it's going to be a big night. There's a lot of stuff, you know, lots of uncertainties, 435 House seats, 35 Senate seats, 36 state governorship. It's, it's the playoffs. This is all leading into the championship, which is going to be in 2028. And there's a lot of them, a lot of toss-up. You get 21 toss-ups when it comes on.

• 43:58Speaker 00

  You see them behind me, look on that wall.

• 43:59Speaker 01

  I know, I see the yellow circuit. It's going to be a very, very close race for many of these till the very end. So Sam, once again, thank you so much for joining us on this podcast. We're looking forward to the partnership.

• 44:10Speaker 00

  We're so excited. Election night, two weeks from tomorrow, it's going to be great. And we could not be more thrilled to be working with you on this.

• 44:17Speaker 01

  Thank you, sir.

• 44:18Speaker 00

  And by the way, our press release is going out right after this program, so your audience is hearing it first.

• 44:24Speaker 01

  Oh, beautiful, thank you for that. Thank you, Sam, appreciate you for your time. We'll see you on, we'll see you on election night, take care.

• 44:29Speaker 00

  All right, see you soon.

• 44:31Speaker 01

  There you go, folks. So this is, this is a pretty big deal, two weeks from tomorrow night. So this is the set that we have right now. If you want to show the clip to the audience what the set's going to look like, this is what it's going to look like when you come in. Tom's going to have his own section when you go to it, where he's going to be doing the results coming in. He's already doing it, by the way, with a lot of different numbers, plus-minuses. We'll get into that here in a minute as well. And the guests that we're going to have that night, it's going to be a star-studded, just telling you. Like, for some of you guys that have already, you're members, the members only, they're excited about this. It's going to be a packed night, we'll be having a good time together. Some will be in the platinum lounge, some will be in the cigar lounge, some will be in the patio. When you're driving past the building, I don't know if we have the picture of what the building's going to look like. It's going to be sick, bright, lit up, red, white, and blue.

• 46:02Speaker 01

  Okay, so with that being said, let's go to one of the bigger races that is taking place. Let's go to Abdul El-Sayed. So Abdul El-Sayed is out there being interviewed left and right. And the one thing he keeps tripping up over, it's like constant when he's being asked about Muslim Brotherhood. This is one, but I'll show you another one where he does it with a guy named Thomas, and he's trying to say that you're Islamophobic, that's your real fear. And he tries to compare it to what happened with John F. Kennedy, the first time he became a president. But I want you to go to Kristen Walker first, and then we'll go to this. I love your speed lately, by the way. Let's start off with this one first, go for it.

• 46:39Speaker 06

  For Michigan voters who are hearing those attacks against you, who are looking to separate fact from fiction, can you set the record straight about whether you or your family have any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood?

• 46:53Speaker 04

  No, but let's talk about this.

• 46:56Speaker 06

  No, you don't have any ties?

• 46:57Speaker 04

  No.

• 46:58Speaker 06

  And your family doesn't?

• 46:59Speaker 04

  No.

• 47:00Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 47:00Speaker 02

  That's very nice of her to answer the question.

• 47:03Speaker 01

  Yeah. He says this.

• 47:04Speaker 02

  That's once.

• 47:05Speaker 01

  Can, can you do me a favor? Can you go to Scott Jennings, okay? The one that I sent you from Scott Jennings, whom, is this the one, by the way?

• 47:13Speaker 02

  This is, this is the other guy.

• 47:14Speaker 01

  Oh, this is a different, okay, this is another guy, watch this one here, go for it.

• 47:17Speaker 04

  Are you insinuating that somehow I was lying? I don't know, that's why I'm asking. And I'm telling you, I was not. We, I have no ties, we have no ties. So your mother had no ties? I have never had these conversations with my mother. These tweets have emerged now. Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college. My family has long been in MB.

• 47:35Speaker 01

  His half-sister, Iman Abdelhadi, posted those in 2012. In another post, she wrote that she had family jailed for being part of the Brotherhood.

• 47:44Speaker 02

  Weird.

• 47:45Speaker 01

  His mother worked from 1999 to 2004 for an Islamic charity that the Treasury Department designated for funding terrorism in 2004.

• 47:55Speaker 04

  You go after my mom?

• 47:56Speaker 03

  I'm not going after your mom. What, what your mom was working at, I was going off to that organization that was indicted for funneling money to Al Qaeda.

• 48:04Speaker 01

  In 2011, El-Sayed wrote that if the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt, the ensuing state would look nothing like Iran. The next year, the Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi was elected president of Egypt. The United States now designates the Brotherhood's Egyptian branch as a terrorist organization. Then there is the money. His father-in-law, Dr. Tayyeb Jukaku, is a former president of CAIR's Michigan chapter, still sits on its board, and is a longtime leader of the Islamic Society of North America. Both groups were named unindicted co-conspirators in the case that convicted Holy Land Foundation leaders of sending more than $12 million to Hamas.

• 48:45Speaker 01

  And prosecutors listed ISNA as a member of the US Muslim Brotherhood. A federal judge found ample evidence tying both groups to Hamas. Jukaku gave $200,000 to the super PAC backing El-Sayed. PolitiFact confirmed a donation from Abdul Ma'ud. You can't go with this, and I'll show you another clip here in a minute that we're going through. The question is, is this going to work? CNN, you know, Harry Enton, who does a very good job, and you know, sometimes you show his clips when the numbers favor you. Sometimes you have to show this, when the numbers don't favor you. And we're pretty fair, we show Enton no matter when, you know, when he's putting the numbers up. There is a clip of him showing how El-Sayed is doing right now.

• 49:27Speaker 01

  The first Democrat to be this down, this much in a century. Go for it.

• 49:32Speaker 07

  Interesting, because I couldn't think of another example where you actually had a Democratic candidate who was down at least four points, four points in a Senate poll in Michigan. And it turns out for this entire century, Abdul El-Sayed is the only one in a poll that meets CNN standards for publication. This is extremely, extremely, extremely unusual. Abdul El-Sayed breaking records in the ways that you don't want to. In fact, he is the first Democrat down by this much as a senator since 1994.

• 50:01Speaker 01

  Okay, Tom, how bad is it for El-Sayed right now?

• 50:05Speaker 04

  So I have, I have a take on this because I get very, very, very skeptical at this time of year. And last year, I mean, excuse me, the last election, we, we called some things very, very correctly. Here's what is concerning to me. This poll is coming out of nowhere as things were tightening up a bit. It was getting a little mushy and it was starting to tighten up, not as tight as some people might want for Mike Rogers. And to have them right now, the issue they're having in Michigan is turnout of the Republican voters. They're trying to get conservatives and independents that would be on the right to turn out. How do you reduce turnout? One of the ways you can reduce turnout is you can float the fact that, well, maybe

• 50:50Speaker 04

  the opponent is, is about to be beat. So I have a high opinion of Harry, but, and Harry's just gonna be reporting on this poll. I, I worry about this poll being a fake poll that is designed to suppress Republican turnout to make them think that El-Sayed is actually, you know, suddenly behind, when everything I've seen indicates that he's up and you need to, you need to spur turnout, similar to Texas. So I have nothing but good things to say about N10. You know how I feel about him. But I wonder about this poll, one poll coming out of nowhere, and he was careful to point

• 51:32Speaker 04

  out, it meets our standards for, for, um, to be broadcast. Cause the reason he's saying that is because not every poll is, is worth toilet paper. So some of them aren't. So he's making a point of saying, hey, guys, this is a poll that met CNN standards. So I'm, I'm a little skeptical here.

• 51:50Speaker 01

  I love that you're taking that angle, Tom. I love that you're taking that angle. The reality of it is, you know, to, to, if, if you look at this calc sheet, this is how much money? $11 million, 69% El-Sayed is at the top with Rogers 31%.

• 52:03Speaker 04

  11 million traded.

• 52:04Speaker 01

  11 million traded already on this race alone. And if you, the, the problem a lot of people are saying is the black voters, okay? The black voters that he simply cannot get. I sent you a clip about somebody explaining why he's having a hard time getting the black voters in Michigan. If you can play this clip for me, I just sent it to you. Go for it. Watch this, folks.

• 52:24Speaker 03

  There is no black man in Detroit right now that likes to Arab. Let me tell you why. Because of cheated elections, they don't let us use their bathrooms at gas stations. They have all of our grocery stores. They have all of our essential businesses. There's not one black person that's like, okay, I'm gonna vote for Abdul El-Sayed. Never in a million years. He cannot win without the black vote. But yet they're saying that he had almost one and a half more times vote than John James. So you mean to tell me that a senator received more votes than the top of the ticket?

• 52:57Speaker 01

  What a great, great point. So what do you think about what he's saying?

• 53:01Speaker 02

  Well, I think it's, I, I'm, I'm so happy that you played that because I saw a clip, I want to say three or four days ago of Abdul El-Sayed sitting at, he was at a gas station in the hood as if it was organic and he had like hot sauce, popcorn, and like he was trying to act like he's in the hood and he's hanging out there. I love that he said that, but but let's go back to what he's saying. He's been asked, any family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood? No. He's lying, okay? Tell the freaking truth. We heard everything about his mother. She worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency. The US Treasury Department designated it, especially designated global terrorist group. They've provided support for Al Qaeda and Hamas. Pass. Sister-in-law put on a terror list by guess who?

• 53:46Speaker 02

  Hussein Obama, of all people. And his sister is on camera celebrating October 7th. And then I saw an interesting clip I sent to Connor. Connor, if you could play it. Pat, he was speaking in front of the CIAR, which is, you know, some Middle Eastern group and this girl's reacting to it. If you play the beginning of it, he's basically calling for Sharia law in the United States.

• 54:07Speaker 01

  Can you do me a favor before you go? Stay on this black vote because I want to give you some numbers here, folks. And then I want to come to you. So in regard to the black vote, I just asked the question right now, just to kind of see how much of an impact do they really have in Michigan? An estimated 614,000 black voters participated in the last Senate race. And we're talking about between Alyssa Slotkin, which we're gonna get into what she said as well, and Mike Rogers. Do you know what percentage supported Alyssa Slotkin in the last race? 60, I'm sorry, 85%. Rogers only got 12%. Okay, so let me say this again. Rogers got 12% of the black vote of the 614,000 in 2024, black voters representative, keep finding it, Alyssa Slotkin, okay, in the 2024 race. Okay?

• 54:52Speaker 01

  So meaning, is that gonna be the same thing here? Is that gonna make a difference? I don't know. I don't know how big of a difference it's gonna take. So to go look at the last race, let's just say if the difference here was, you know, 50% of African-American voters support El-Sayed and the other 50% goes to Mike Rogers. Let's say that fellow that was speaking is right. Would that make a big difference? It could. We're talking about 614,000 voters. So, you know, I, I don't know what's gonna be happening. There's a reason why calc's got 69% of people that are picking him, but you want to go to this clip that I, we're talking about?

• 55:25Speaker 02

  But I want people to understand, Pat, why he's lying. In Islam, you are, you can lie. You can deceive or conceal your religious beliefs and all that stuff to further Islam. This isn't, I'm not making this up. I think it's called tequila. And I know people always try to be like, no, that's for, to, to get rid of persecution. He's lying in front of your face. And this is the clip where he's basically saying, uh, uh, calling for Sharia law in America and he's pissed off because they banned it somewhere. Go ahead, go ahead, Connor.

• 55:52Speaker 03

  The state of Oklahoma voted in a referendum to amend the constitution to ban Sharia law.

• 55:58Speaker 01

  Sharia.

• 55:59Speaker 03

  Arnold Schwarzenegger. What does that mean? I don't know.

• 56:02Speaker 01

  What do you mean you don't know?

• 56:03Speaker 02

  You don't know?

• 56:04Speaker 03

  And yet the voters banned it anyway. Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us in the Quran, Kareen, he tells us.

  Stand firm with God. Not the same God as ours. Be witnesses to justice. There you have it. You can't understand a Sharia ban without understanding the Trail of Tears. You can't understand the efforts to uproot Muslim Americans without understanding the Tulsa massacre. You cannot understand the challenges we face today without understanding white supremacy. White supremacy and what he's, Pat, he's upset that they're banning Sharia law. And I want everybody to understand this. There's a freaking movement happening.

• 59:36Speaker 02

  And I'm telling you guys right now, Trojan horse. I'm telling you from all of these freaking people that are popping up from him to Mamdani, and it's all nice and it's all, and that's how they're gonna use. They use the government, they use like that suicidal empathy until they become the majority. And that's the type of attitude, and you're listening to him say it. He's lying about his freaking ties to a terrorist freaking group to your face, even though we have proof from his mother to his sister to his sister, to everybody involved. And then he's upset that they can't have Sharia law. And for all you people out there that are like, no, just freedom of religion. You don't even understand what the hell Sharia law means, okay? You don't even know what the hell it is because you've never been in a freaking Middle Eastern country.

• 1:00:17Speaker 02

  But don't sleep until these guys are the freaking majority and then they're gonna start trying to change shit to make it like that. He looks like he's upset. Am I the only one that seems, he's pissed off that they can't have Sharia law in a place. Don't be fooled. I'm telling you guys right now.

• 1:00:34Speaker 01

  What are the chances he wins, Tom? What are the chances he wins? Your opinion? What are the chances this guy wins the Senate race against Rogers?

• 1:00:43Speaker 04

  I'm above, I'm above 75%.

• 1:00:45Speaker 01

  That he wins?

• 1:00:46Speaker 04

  That, yeah, Abdul's gonna win. And I'll tell you something, he's doing fine with the black vote. Right now, it's coming in 82 to 8 with 11% still undecided. 82 to 8 on the black vote still undecided. And here, check this out. Put 100 Trump voters, Trump 24 voters, and I'm looking at the Michigan stuff right here, Pat, I got data. 100 Trump voters. Rogers only gets 91 of them. El-Sayed's getting 7. And 2 for the independent. Of the Harris voters, El-Sayed's getting 93, Rogers gets 5. So the difference?

• 1:01:28Speaker 04

  Rogers is only getting 5 of the Harris voters. El-Sayed's getting 7% of the Trump voters, and Trump had more than he won. And of the independents, El-Sayed right now is running 49, 47, Pat. Take the 2 points and the 4 points, there's the 4 points that he's leading by right now. This is what is very, very nerve wracking. I'll share something else for you. Right now, the undecided, there's only about 6% undecided left in Michigan right now. And a quarter of likely voters have already voted. And it's showing 6 points.

• 1:02:13Speaker 04

  So right now, it looks like this guy's in position to win, which is why when I see Harry Enton talking about the one poll, doing what I think was a Harry Enton breakdown, but my question is, where the hell is that poll coming from? And why is it showing up like that right now? Right now, this worries me, and it looks like El-Sayed is in position. I think it's gonna come in closer, right now, if you ask me right now, it looks like it's gonna come in closer to 5 points.

• 1:02:42Speaker 01

  That he wins by 5 points?

• 1:02:44Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 1:02:45Speaker 02

  He's gonna, Pat, he's gonna win. It's talking about Michigan and Dearborn and all these people that are voting, and by the way, it doesn't, nobody cares that his family is embedded with Muslim Brotherhood. That's just whatever, guys. He's a good speaker. That's what people's attitude is. He's a good speaker, and to hell with Trump. Because that's, and that's what, that's what they want, that's what they're gonna vote for. Good luck.

• 1:03:07Speaker 04

  When you put the Trump mandate up to a poll, and the White House may not like them, I'm about to say, Pat, but I'm gonna say it. Right now, Trump is 14 points underwater on his mandate in Michigan in a state he carried by 1.4 and won the election. 14 points underwater in a state he carried by 1.4. The, number 1 is the economy, and number 2, listen, the economy is electric costs and data centers. Michigan voters right now are 62, 29, and 10 undecided on data centers. 62, 29 against.

• 1:03:40Speaker 03

  Well, I have a different perspective. I actually think the smart, educated, good people of Michigan are gonna wake up and actually come out and vote, not necessarily for Mike Rogers, but against what Abdul Sayed I hope stands for. So I think it's important to qualify exactly what we're talking about here, because we see these words, Muslim Brotherhood, Sharia, what's going on? I just wanted to find them real quick. The Muslim Brotherhood isn't like nice guys standing in line, hey, we're brothers, we're color. It's not that. You know what countries have banned the Muslim Brotherhood? How about Egypt? How about Saudi Arabia? How about the UAE? Bahrain, Jordan?

• 1:04:22Speaker 03

  Muslim countries have banned the Muslim Brotherhood. Let that sink in for a second. The best way to describe it is like a political, ideological, religious KKK organization that operates all around the world. It's so bad that Muslim countries are banning the Muslim Brotherhood. Let that sink in. I don't know why the United States as a country has not designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization.

• 1:04:51Speaker 04

  But they're trying to run for Senate, Adam.

• 1:04:52Speaker 03

  Or ban the Muslim Brotherhood. But you know who has? Governor Ron DeSantis. He's come out and designated them a terrorist organization, and potentially future government, Governor Byron Donalds has basically said, I will continue that into my administration if elected. So I hope that happens here. Sharia law is not compatible with Western values or with American democracy or in the Constitution. I'm not coming out there and saying Muslims shouldn't be here. I'm not advocating a Muslim, I have tons of friends that are Muslim, but I am coming out and saying Sharia law is not compatible with the West. This is a guy, right now, Abdul Al-Sayed, Abdul Rahman Al-Sayed, that doesn't know who's

• 1:05:37Speaker 03

  a bigger threat to America, Iran or Israel? The country that we're fighting a war against or the country who's our ally, helping us navigate this war in the Middle East? That to me, it shows that you don't have basically American interests, or at least the know-how, to understand good from bad. And the last point, black voters. My good black friends out there in Michigan. My dad grew up in Detroit, I know a lot of you guys out there. It's time to wake up. Did you see this article right here talking about black voters? I'll just read this, where, "Black Voters Test the Socialist Left Ceilings. This year primaries showed the DSA's path runs through older black voters who wield enormous influence in the Democratic primary."

• 1:06:20Speaker 03

  So black voters, here's your chance to be recognized. You wanna be the change, see the change that you wanna be in the world? Black Democrats are quote-unquote "more likely than less likely" to dislike leaders who identify as Democratic Socialists. Black people, I know a lot of good black people, and a lot of good everybody people, they are not Democratic Socialists. They have values, they have principles, this is not something that they stand for. BLM is not what black people stand for. BLM is a Marxist leftist organization. So my friends out there, here's my point, smarten up, be careful who you vote for, especially in Michigan.

• 1:06:55Speaker 01

  I wanna show you something, which is, you know, to tell you how clear the vision is for what Muslims are doing in America today. How clear it is. Now, you know, whether you agree with it or not, I just want you to see how clear it is in what areas? How this man, Nihat Awad, the co-founder and National Executive Director of the Council of American Islamic Relations, gives a 20-year strategy for increasing Muslim representation and influence in America's 5 jobs, he says each of these 4,000 mosques should offer scholarships for these 5 jobs. Watch this here, go for it. Strategic plan, framework for success for the Muslim community.

• 1:07:37Speaker 01

  And let's just think about it together in the next couple of minutes. We have almost 4,000 mosques in America. Watch this. 4,000 mosques. And it's happened. 4,000 mosques. About 6 million people attend these 4,000 mosques every Friday. That's really the infrastructure of the Muslim community. 4 million, 6,000 mosques, every Friday. The core of Muslim life in America is the largest number of mosques. Secondly, you have schools, social services, organizations, economic, social, political, and scientific organizations and businesses. However, how can we plan in 20 years for the Muslim community to be a celebrated community?

• 1:08:22Speaker 01

  So what's the plan? 4,000 mosques. Watch this. I would like our community, the leadership here, after Insha Allah you build this mosque, unless you can do it at the same time, establish a scholarship fund on an annual basis, and just bear with me. Establish.

• 1:08:40Speaker 03

  Scholarship on an annual basis to do the following to offer scholarships for four for five students, one to study journalism.

• 1:08:54Speaker 01

  Listen, Benny.

• 1:08:55Speaker 03

  Second, to study filmmaking, thirdly, to study law, fourth, political science, and fifth, history or humanity.

• 1:09:08Speaker 03

  Why? If we start in twenty twenty five or twenty twenty six, depends on you.

• 1:09:16Speaker 03

  Forty years from now, four thousand mosques in America, remember, four thousand mosques. We will have in forty years, four thousand new journalists, filmmakers, lawyers, history, students who will become teachers and students and graduates of political science. Twenty years from now, we keep doing it every year. Twenty years from now, the Muslim community will have fifty thousand attorneys, fifty thousand journalists,

• 1:09:50Speaker 01

  Listen.

• 1:09:50Speaker 03

  Fifty thousand filmmakers, fifty thousand professors of political science and history.

• 1:09:57Speaker 01

  Members of Congress, go ahead.

• 1:10:00Speaker 03

  If we do that, the Muslim community will write its own history.

• 1:10:05Speaker 01

  Pause it right there. That was it. The Muslim community will what?

• 1:10:09Speaker 02

  Write.

• 1:10:09Speaker 01

  Write its own history. We will have five senators. He said, potentially the first Supreme Court justice, Muslim members of Congress. This is not a hypothetical.

• 1:10:23Speaker 02

  He's serious, that's a mission.

• 1:10:24Speaker 01

  This is a vision that's being presented. And do you think they're gonna be doing it?

• 1:10:29Speaker 02

  Absolutely.

• 1:10:30Speaker 01

  So, you know, when you hear, when you hear these different types of clips and where they're at and what they're doing, this is a very dark interview here of if somebody insults and says something, what they would do. Have you seen this one?

• 1:10:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, this is, this is the most honest Muslim guy about what they're trying to do. Europeans must convert to Islam or what? Check this guy. And I love that you said that, Pat. That guy's a different, you know, educated, whatever. Professor, listen to this. This is, this is coming to a soon to a theater near you. Was a true Muslim. If I was the world leader, Israel would not exist. I don't see them as humans. I see them like cockroaches. Homosexuals, they would get destroyed. And do you subscribe to that idea? Hundred percent. If I did it, I would not even be a Muslim. How would you kill him? With a sword, cut his head off like that. You get caught doing adultery, you're getting stoned to death. You would have them stoned to death? Without a doubt. People say, oh, Islam is peaceful, Islam. They're trying shit. Apostates, I would torture them. I would make the death hell for them.

• 1:11:28Speaker 02

  Now, first cousin marriages, should they be legal or illegal in Britain? What about goats? Yeah, what about them? Do you think there's any connection between Islam and the grooming gangs? No, not at all. Who are you, a white non-Muslim guy trying to tell me about my own religion? You can hate Islam, you can criticize Islam. Charlie Abdo, are they terrorists? No, they're not terrorists. It was a religious group. It was a command from Allah. Do you think that we should ban Islam completely from the West? We'd have to be crazy, wouldn't we, to just keep importing that shit? Either you become a Muslim, you pay the jizya, which is tax, or it's war. Can you see why prevent have got concerns with you? I mean, like.

• 1:12:05Speaker 01

  I mean, he's just saying it out loud.

• 1:12:08Speaker 02

  But, but.

• 1:12:08Speaker 01

  Exactly what they should be saying quietly.

• 1:12:10Speaker 02

  Yeah, no, no, no, no.

• 1:12:11Speaker 01

  And we're like, well, you know, what does he really mean by this, Vincent?

• 1:12:15Speaker 02

  I actually respect, I respect that he's at least telling you because, mind you, this out of two billion Muslims, this is the twenty percent that, and that's hundreds of millions of people that are like this, that are like that, that that's the attitude.

• 1:12:31Speaker 01

  Two hundred million people.

• 1:12:32Speaker 02

  That's a lot of freak, no, it's a lot of people, so.

• 1:12:35Speaker 01

  So this, this is where it's at. And I think the biggest thing is, you know, you either, you know, will be paranoid and try to defend what made America the greatest country in the world, or you're gonna look away. And when you do look away, one day you're gonna wake up, you're gonna be like, wait, what just happened? By the way, the, one of the names I said earlier, Alyssa Slotkin.

• 1:12:54Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:12:55Speaker 01

  Who is a senator in Michigan, she said something very interesting on what she wants to do. I'll read it to you. And then, Tom, I'm gonna come to you with this one and then we'll move on. I want the deterrence message. Michigan Dems, do you have that clip, by the way? Michigan Dem Slotkin wants to prosecute Trump admin to scare off young conservatives. I'll, she just openly saying it. Watch this, go for it. This is a senator, folks.

• 1:13:19Speaker 06

  I wanna look at these signature cases. Mm-hmm. And not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him. I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun, I might get an opportunity. I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don't want. And so let me avoid participating in that. Mm-hmm. I want that deterrence message set. So that's what I'm saying, I wanna look at these.

• 1:13:46Speaker 02

  Not even, guys, this is a sitting senator, not even, do you guys know what the definition of fascism is, Pat? Intimidate political rivals and deter participation in opposition movements. Literally, literally, the fascists, okay? Trump is Hitler, in fact, it's you, Slotkin, okay? And by the way, let's not forget, she worked for the CIA and she was the acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs under Hussein Obama, okay? And this is it, Pat. And if you guys think, all you guys out there, if you think, and I know we're gonna get into it, Pat, because I have a lot to say about, you know, Trump and what's happening and the office of president not going after these people.

• 1:14:29Speaker 02

  If you think, guys, that you're sitting home, you're not gonna vote, you're gonna do all this, that Democrats care about affordability and gas prices and making your life easier, think again. Because if they take the House and they take the Senate, all they're going to do is investigate Trump. They're gonna go after everybody in his freaking cabinet, and that's all they're gonna do. There is no plan, there's never been a plan.

And I've warned you guys, if they win, and this is 2000, you know, this November 3rd is going to be just a little sprinkle, little test. Okay. Once they're in, they're going to open the border, mass amnesty for illegals. Hakeem Jeffries, the other day was like, oh, somebody asked him, what about all the ones that were kicked out? Oh, we're going to grab them. We're going to bring them all back in here. Okay. And then for all of us, all the people, all the conservatives, this isn't a fear porn thing. It's just letting you know, she's telling you, she's telling you, a sitting freaking member of Congress, what they're going to do to you. Okay. And you

• 1:17:53Speaker 02

  know who she is. She's the same one that remember Tom, in November 2025, when all those five Democrats, Trump was giving orders, they're like, don't listen to the president's orders. Her and Mark Kelly and all these people. And it doesn't help that she's ex CIA. I don't trust her. And again, these are all people that are coming out of where, Tom? Detroit. She's from there. He's from there. El Sayad is from there. And I'm happy that they're at least saying what they're gonna do.

• 1:18:17Speaker 01

  Tom, how do you process what she's saying?

• 1:18:20Speaker 04

  So I see it for what it is. There is not a desire here to create a new America in her own image. There is a desire they have, whether they admit it or not. It is a globalist agenda funded by Soros with other, you can't just say Soros anymore. It's wider than that. This is very nice man, you know, funding things going on in Europe. It's, what I see is they want a future world. They don't want a future America. They want a future world that is globalist, where sovereignty no longer matters, and the socialist liberal elite run

• 1:19:04Speaker 04

  it. Be careful. People don't understand what's going on here. This is not about her and saying next election, we're going to go this way. Next election, go to this way. Oh, I want an America where the rule of law still matters. Yeah, the rule of law she wants is one that's administered by the Hague. That's where they're going. That's what I see, Pat. I don't get upset with her and say, oh, well, this election, this way, that way, you know, we're going to be a little over here, a little over there, a little more liberal, but no. She doesn't, she doesn't want the future America. She wants a future world.

• 1:19:38Speaker 02

  Yep. And just really fast, Pat, like Rome, think of Tom, because when I think of the United States of America, I keep going back, Pat, to Rome. Like, if you were in Rome during the height, and people were walking around going, hey, I'm telling you guys, this is happening, the people from within, they're going to try to destroy, you would have laughed in their freaking faces. But I'm telling people, guys, Rome didn't fall overnight. You have to be careful of these people who are trying to destroy us from within. Okay. All right. I'm telling you guys right now, pay attention. She's the deep state, the El Sayads that want to bring in a whole different freaking religion that they pray to a different God. Be on alert.

• 1:20:15Speaker 01

  Adam.

• 1:20:17Speaker 04

  Well, look, the way I would read it is this, she's actually one of the more reasonable Democrats. Like on a list of who are the more like conservative or actual classic liberals in the Democratic Party, she'd be on the top 10 list, meaning she's not even part of the DSA, she's not part of the Abdul Al Sayed camp, or the Mamdani camp, or the Ilhan Omar camp, or the AOC camp. She's a classic Democrat, but this is basically where we are at this point. If you are Team America, Team Trump, you are the enemy at this point. That's the sad reality is that she's not even hiding it. And that's all I want to say.

• 1:20:54Speaker 02

  But she, wait, so you would put her, somebody that's literally saying.

• 1:20:57Speaker 04

  You don't have to yell, bro.

• 1:20:58Speaker 02

  I'm not yelling, I'm talking normal. Lower the mic if you want to. I'm not screaming, that's how I talk.

• 1:21:02Speaker 04

  You're saying.

• 1:21:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, you of all people. You know, you're lower, you have the control. So you mean to tell me that she's a regular Democrat when she's on camera right now saying, we're going to go after them. And if you're coming out of school, we're going to destroy your life, basically?

• 1:21:16Speaker 04

  That's exactly what I'm saying.

• 1:21:17Speaker 02

  That's, that doesn't make any sense to me.

• 1:21:19Speaker 04

  Well, welcome to the world.

• 1:21:20Speaker 02

  The DSAs?

• 1:21:21Speaker 04

  She's not DSA.

• 1:21:23Speaker 02

  No, I'm saying.

• 1:21:24Speaker 04

  Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. That is the Democratic Party.

• 1:21:27Speaker 02

  Is she backing any of those people that are going up for?

• 1:21:29Speaker 04

  I don't know. What I'm trying to establish is, she's one of the quote unquote, normal ones. She's not DSA. And this is where how far left the Democratic Party is at this point is.

• 1:21:39Speaker 02

  Well, her saying that.

• 1:21:40Speaker 04

  The point that I'm making.

• 1:21:41Speaker 01

  You know, but the question is, can they win? Because there's, there's a, there's a big difference between El Sayed winning in Michigan. Okay. Michigan is not America. All right. And Talarico winning in Texas. There's a big difference between El Sayed winning in Michigan and Talarico winning in Texas. And Tom, there's some new things that are coming out about Talarico, where a story comes out, I'll read the story to you, and then you'll see what direction we'll go with this. An article comes out saying, meet the manly men who want to, who want to remake the Democratic Party. This is a Wapo story. And there's a couple of them. I'll go here as, as we go through these stories.

• 1:22:24Speaker 01

  But so they're trying to bring some guys that are like more manly for midterms. You've seen a highlight reel, Abdul Al Sayed repeatedly calling his opponents a beta, James, a beta. James Talarico firing back at GOP attacks that he is too low T for Texas. Sweaty Bo Bay running the Indiana Secretary of State pumping weights in a campaign ad. Gone are the days in which traditional masculinity for Dems was toxic. Now it seems like more of a campaign credential. For people who are out there thinking about who's the alpha and who's the beta, it's the such, it's just such a sophomoric way of thinking about the world. El Sayed, a 41 year old progressive told the Post about Republican betas. But that's the world that they created. Mike Rogers, his opponent replied, nothing screams

• 1:23:08Speaker 01

  alpha quite like a 41 year old desperately reminding everyone he was popular in high school. A Wapo post, a poll in July, only 5% Americans said they have a mostly negative view of men who are manly or masculine, but 27% said the Democratic Party views them negatively against 47% who said Republicans view them positively. Tom, what is the challenge that they have here?

• 1:23:31Speaker 04

  Yeah, look at the last two things. 47% of Republicans view them positively. 27% of Democrats view them negatively. They don't care about the Dems. They are trying to take the independent voters that lean a little bit right in the middle. They're trying to do that. This is what's going on here. They are basically, remember, Democrats, what do they do? Pander for voting blocks and basically spin into the voting block. So what are they doing? They're pumping, they're pumping iron, they're doing things like that. They're talking about this, they're calling you a beta, they're calling you a low T. Those are all dog whistles to the middle. They don't care about the Republican side, Pat.

• 1:24:15Speaker 04

  They are at the, they are at the independents that are in the middle, and the independents are getting bigger. So every election, the number of independents is bigger, and it's even more important to get to them. So they're putting those to get the ones that maybe were Trump voters last time. You know, the ones that Al Sayed has 7% of the Trump voters in Michigan from last time are voting for him. Think about that. Think about how big that is. And so this is the, this is the manly men. This is the task. Do you remember, I don't know if the guys can find it, when Michael Dukakis got in a tank?

• 1:24:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:24:51Speaker 04

  Trying to show that he was aligned with the defense, aligned with America and aligned with strength. Look at this. He looked like a complete.

• 1:25:02Speaker 02

  Dork.

• 1:25:02Speaker 04

  He looked like the.

• 1:25:04Speaker 02

  The helmet's not even on right.

• 1:25:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, the geek from school science class riding around in a tank with a tie? And by the way, this was highly negative, because you know what it said to the Americans that were out there? Dude, this is the last guy who went leading our military. And by the way, that moved people. And that is exactly what happened. Because they, Bush ran with this, like a football and a 90 yard free sprint to the finish line, folks. That's what he did.

• 1:25:36Speaker 01

  Do you know, do you know what's going to happen in 2028 if Dems win? So, so think about it from this side, you know, the left and the right, and where they're at right now. We know if they win the midterms. And I guess the part I want to go to is, you know, nowadays you see a guy wearing a MAGA hat. What do you think of us? It's not really a big deal anymore. Do you remember what would happen in 2021 if you wore a MAGA hat during COVID?

• 1:25:57Speaker 04

  Somebody would steal his hat or throw things.

• 1:25:59Speaker 01

  Steal his hat, you know, they would, they would, they would do a lot of things to you during.

• 1:26:04Speaker 04

  Get out of my restaurant.

• 1:26:04Speaker 01

  Right. You're gonna see this, this next, and you, listen, you're gonna have some bold people that are gonna wear what they're gonna wear. And if you're bold enough to wear something yellow, future looks bright, that on the set says, don't tread on me, we're probably never gonna make, don't, don't tread on me. If you tread on me, if you've never seen this here, this, these are the types of things that people are going to be afraid of wearing. You'll see when that comes. People are going to be worried again. Oh, my God, I can't say this. Oh, my God, I'm going to get a strike. Oh, my God, what if I said, oh, my God, I'm going to get that. That era is going to come. It's going to get nasty, as these guys, they can. They're telling you publicly what they want to do. But the rebranding, Tom, if you don't mind breaking down what you said about what happens with the midterms, if Republicans lose House, if they lose Senate, currently Republicans

• 1:26:49Speaker 01

  have Supreme Court seats as what, 6-3? The one that's been wanting to step down for a few years is a guy named Clarence Thomas, allegedly, you read about it. What would happen if Republicans, Tom, lose the House and the Senate? What would happen with Clarence Thomas's seat in the, in the Supreme Court?

• 1:27:06Speaker 04

  So Clarence Thomas can speak for himself, but he has spoken more than once about, you know, maybe it's time. And he was looking for the time that it was the right time to retire. He is on the verge of retirement. We could probably find the last time that he spoke about it. He does speeches at colleges and stuff, and he has openly said, you know, you know, hey, I'm not planning to retire this year, but maybe, maybe it's coming soon. But here's what's, what's up. Alito and Thomas are very close to retirement age, very close. What's about to happen in the midterms? Well, I'll tell you what's about to happen in the midterms. We don't have very many days until December 18th. December 18th is when Senate

• 1:27:51Speaker 04

  and Congress will break. And when Senate and Congress break, Pat, they don't come back till the new year. The new year, you're going to swear in all the new House of Representatives and senators. At that point, if it, 51-49, they will not allow Trump to nominate any conservative justices. They will not allow it. They will sit on it. The fastest, go check a look at these dates, Pat. The fastest that ever happened was ACB, Amy Barrett. And guess what? Ginsburg died September 18th.

• 1:28:30Speaker 04

  Trump waited just after the funeral and on September 26th, he nominated Amy. She was confirmed on October 26th. That is, that is the speed record. And remember when this was, Pat? 2020. If he didn't get it done by October 26th, what was going to happen four days later, five days later? He lost to Biden. And so this was the speed record. They knew they were up against it. And when Ginsburg died, man, we got to get her through. Uh, because the Republicans had a hunch. They said, look, if Trump is vulnerable as COVID and the economy and everything, and he's out, we need this justice. And that was the speed record.

• 1:29:14Speaker 04

  You would need a similar speed record and the only grace period would be, Senate would potentially extend seven days. Uh, they would do a, John Thune would do a mandate and say, hey, we must extend seven days to Christmas Eve. And he would keep them. You see what I mean, Pat? Like a number, like, yeah, we're going to go into a little hour overtime here. He would go to about six days. But if Clarence Thomas resigns now, they have to run as fast as they did for Amy Barrett. Otherwise, if Alito or Thomas gets sick in the next two years and something happens, they're not going to let Trump replace him. Uh, it's the same thing that they said on Merrick Garland. Remember his nomination? They sat on his nomination

• 1:29:59Speaker 04

  for, I think it was 260 days. Somebody check me on that. But they, they sat on his nomination for a long time. The US Senate did, because they didn't want him. So this has historical precedent. It, and this is bad. This is the, to me, this is one of the bad, 260. This is one of the bad things that will happen if both.

• 1:30:24Speaker 01

  Meet the men, the story, kind of going into that.

• 1:30:26Speaker 03

  Yeah. I mean, look, when you're talking about manly men, when I read this article that the Democratic Party wants to remake manly men, I literally thought it was a Babylon B article. Like, what a joke. The, the reason that I'm so hardcore MAGA these days, as a former Democrat, that was a Bill Clinton guy, JFK guy, because of my dad, I can't even look at the Democratic Party and actually understand even where they are these days. All my friends that are still Democrats, I'm like, and I mean, this is a joke, guys. I'm like, so you're married with kids and you're gay now? Like, what are we doing here, guys? Because, uh, kids in school, you know, my nephew, I, I see them make fun of other kids in school. When we used to call kids, you know, gay or the F word, whatever.

• 1:31:09Speaker 03

  Oh, you're a Democrat now? That's literally the running joke of what young men, young boys call other boys in school, a Democrat. That's how weak and feminine that the Democratic brand is. Calling the Democratic Party masculine is like calling the WNBA, the, the, uh, pinnacle of femininity. It, it just doesn't work that way. Now, if the, the Democrats, the Democrats, it's no secret. They're the, they're the party, they used to be the party of the working man. Now they're the party of the working woman. The college educated liberal ideology, go to school in your ivory towers. The only thing that is masculine about the Democratic Party these days are the Abdul Al Sayyids that want to put women in heat jobs.

• 1:31:55Speaker 03

  That's about as masculine as it gets. Other than that, they're going to trans your kids, they're going to Talarico your kids. And that's what basically the Democratic brand is at this point. Unfortunately, thank you, Obama, for making the White House gay. Remember what he did to the White House? Do you remember what Biden did to the White House?

• 1:32:10Speaker 02

  I remember what he did with Larry Sinclair, if that's what you're talking about.

• 1:32:12Speaker 03

  That's what I'm talking about. The Democratic brand.

• 1:32:14Speaker 01

  You're talking about the rainbow.

• 1:32:15Speaker 03

  Uh, the rainbow in the White House. So, got, so you can, you can, like,

• 1:32:21Speaker 01

  What's the likelihood that this makes a comeback if a Democrat?

• 1:32:25Speaker 03

  Biden already did it. Biden had a trans.

• 1:32:27Speaker 02

  Trans dude was flashing everybody. And what do you mean? Kamala had like, oh my God, the trans dudes in the, oh man.

• 1:32:35Speaker 03

  I'll just add one thing. I think it's important to distinguish. Like, I have, I have Muslim friends, but I'm anti Islamic terrorism. I have gay friends, but I'm anti LGBT movement taking over. I'm, I have Democratic friends, but I'm anti whatever the DSA is. You have to distinguish what, what exactly is going on here. So when I said Obama or Biden are making the White House gay, that doesn't a condemnation on gay people. I have gay friends. But to basically turn the White House into a gay,

• 1:33:08Speaker 03

  sex rock type party like the, like Biden did? That's the distinguishment that I'm trying to talk about here. Democrats beating manly is the biggest joke I've ever seen.

• 1:33:16Speaker 01

  All right, let me get to the next story. Here's a story that came out, which the guy Elon said this was going to happen. He announces he wants to give SpaceX stocks to kids. And I don't know if you guys have seen this or not. Elon Musk says he's giving SpaceX stock to every kid in America. I don't know if you have the video that I sent you earlier. There's a video, uh, from Fox Business that was talking about this. If you have that, can you pull it up? He literally gets up there and is like, yeah, this, this is what we're going to be doing. And remember when he said, he says, we're going to go in a direction where, I just put a thumbs up in a group chat, you should be able to see it. He said, there's going to come a time where you're not going to be worried about money. What do you mean? Well, don't worry about retirement and all this. Why wouldn't I be worried about it? Ah, it's just, things are going to change. What does that even mean?

• 1:34:01Speaker 01

  He kept saying this. And guys, I, I sent you the tweet. Just go to the tweet. I put a thumbs up on the tweet to make it easier for you. It's in the group text. I literally just put a thumbs up on it, uh, for you to find it. You want me to do it again? Let me do it again. So, and then Anthropic, nobody knows, you know, we can find out who said it first. Anthropic said they want to make 5% of the Anthropic stock given to the public. Meaning you're going to be handed over Anthropic stock, public. And what the hell does that mean? What is, what does all this stuff mean? So play this first clip. This is the one with Elon that he wants to give a percentage of it to kids. Go for it.

• 1:34:38Speaker 04

  worship him. Now no one talks to him on the left. And then you think about SpaceX and then even, uh, Neuralink, uh, for the brain. He's doing something else today, which is extraordinary.

• 1:34:49Speaker 01

  So he has announced this on X. Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many. Wow. So the shares are selling right now for $146, which means it'll be about a, what, a 10, 11 billion dollar investment? It's incredible of his own money. I love it. I love that. You know, first we had Dell with the Trump accounts. And now you have Elon Musk doing his own type of investment, which is separate. You can pause it right there. Tom, do you like this?

• 1:35:20Speaker 04

  So I like what he's doing because it feels a little bit like, uh, Michael Dell. And saying, hey, I'm going to take some of my wealth and I'm going to put it into this program to help jumpstart basically, you know, Trump accounts or whatever. How he's going to give these to kids, I don't know. I would assume, uh, he hasn't said so, but it would be like the Trump accounts where it's like, you know, your, your government, um, government IRA for, um, all kids that, uh, the Trump, Trump set up, uh, it's a quality program in my view. So I think that's the angle. That's what I think about it. The second part of what you were asking, the second part of the story.

• 1:35:59Speaker 01

  Anthropic, 5% to the public, with not the same voting rights and all this stuff?

• 1:36:04Speaker 04

  No, absolutely not. Because what happens is now the public, it has a bias to ensure the success of Anthropic. And that success may have regulatory things or problems with products that you have to go in and adjust. And how can you possibly regulate something you own? It has a built in conflict. I'm, I'm not in favor of that at all. Because look what happened when we had all of the pharmaceutical companies, not owned by the US government, but in lockstep with the, but the government on building out the COVID vaccines. What happened, Vinnie?

• 1:36:47Speaker 04

  They said, before we get going too fast here, we, we need to let you know something. We are making a medication and, uh, we need some, uh, immunity because you're all, and you're making us go very fast, very, very fast. So we actually need some immunity from lawsuits here. That's exactly the same thing that, and I don't want to go into COVID. I'm not trying to trigger you.

• 1:37:07Speaker 01

  No, no, I'm, I'm.

• 1:37:08Speaker 04

  But the same thing would happen here. So what if Anthropic, what if there's some things on AI agents that need to be controlled? What are some things that go wrong? What if those things that need to be regulated? People say, well, wait a minute, let's not regulate it. The, the, remember, the United States owns 20% of this thing. Let's not make the stock go down. It's a built in conflict. I am against Anthropic. Unless they want to say, hey, for better, for worse, we will donate this many shares into Trump accounts. They may go up, they may go down. I, I'm okay with that. But being owned by the United States of America, nationalizing AI? How well did nationalizing the petroleum industry go in countries around the world? Not well.

• 1:37:53Speaker 01

  Yeah, but they're, they're, they're playing a different game, Tom. But on the Elon side, if you gave one SpaceX to everybody, that's 72 to 73 million kids under the age of 18 would get a share of SpaceX, $146. 10 and a half to $10.7 billion. When it comes on to the Anthropic situation, slightly different, they want to give 5% of it, which the 5% initial requires shareholder approval. Anthropic has announced commitment, but it's not yet. An unconditional completed transfer, the percentage could increase for every 50% increase in an anthropics valuation above a designated baseline. Its board could allocate another 2% of the company to the fund. The fund could make direct payments to individuals.

• 1:38:36Speaker 01

  Anthropic specifically mentioned distributing benefits to selected populations. Although it has not announced eligibility requirements for all payment amounts. AI related unemployment is a major consideration. Anthropic has already committed $200 million to researching and addressing AI's labor market effects and broader commitment is approximately 20% is Vinnie what they want to end up doing. Not just 5% 5% is for starters. Eventually they want to take you to 20%. And so the question becomes who controls the money? The money will be controlled by a 501c. So in anthropics is the fund will be structured as a wholly owned LLC rather than a conventional 501c 3 plan nonprofit that provides more flexibility, but raises a few questions. Who points to people running the fund?

• 1:39:21Speaker 01

  Who determines which communities organizations receive it? Can the fund sell its anthropic shares? What beneficiaries will beneficiaries have ownership rights? How much money will be actually there? There's a lot of questions that have come with this, especially at a $1 trillion valuation. 5% is $50 billion.

• 1:39:37Speaker 03

  So a giant company helps create a giant stack of money and the government's going to babysit it and it's going to go out to special groups. You mean like hospices in California and daycare centers in Minneapolis? I know they need funding now. They've been cut off.

• 1:39:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, but I think I think it's absolutely amazing what he like every week. It seems like he's doing something amazing for like besides X and, and, and, you know, buying it so we could actually see what the hell the world and the, and the people are talking about. He's doing everything with SpaceX. He's doing the like, he is on fire and I love this idea because instead of the government taking your money and wasting it on all the bureaucracy and deciding who deserves what? He's giving it actually to actually children who actually have some like stock and to help shape their future. Okay. And that is the beauty of capitalism. You build something, you create wealth and you give it to the people for a chance for them to benefit from your success. No government middleman like meanwhile, look, look, look in France, like what happened in France, burning the government's still trying to figure out how to squeeze more money

• 1:40:38Speaker 02

  out of the people who they actually create wealth. And that's the difference. Socialism wants to distribute wealth. Capitalism creates it and I absolutely love what he's doing.

• 1:40:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, well said, Vinnie. I mean, the, the whole billionaire wealth tax and this condemnation and that we hate tax the rich. I'm just picturing a day when AOC, who I think recently just called Elon Musk dumb or stupid. I'm just picturing her day when she has her in vitro test tube baby and is running for president potentially and no father, but has a baby and she gets a check or a direct deposit from Elon saying, here's some money from your kid. The, the fact that Americans billionaires like what, what Bill Gates did and Warren Buffett did with a giving pledge, I think it's called like the billionaire pledge where

• 1:41:26Speaker 03

  they, they've pledged, I think 90% of their, of their worth to 501c 3 and nonprofits and philanthropy is one of the most amazing things you'll ever see in your life.

• 1:41:35Speaker 04

  To roll down their wealth in a charitable way rather than just giving it to their kids.

• 1:41:39Speaker 03

  Exactly. So where are those stories? So rather than the left condemning billionaires and basically hating on rich people, understand that these are the people that actually changed society with the stroke of their check. Why do you want to turn them against you? Like you saw what happened with Ken Griffin? This guy's worth what $50 billion, whatever the amount is. He goes, oh, New York, you don't appreciate me? Chicago, you don't appreciate me? All right. Miami, you want me to? Yeah. Come on down to Miami. We're building campuses, a couple of billion dollars. We're starting businesses. The Democratic Party has done the dumbest thing possible. Take the billionaires that basically want to give money to causes they care about and say, we don't want you. And the reasonable people on the Republican side will say, we'll take your money. Thank you.

• 1:42:23Speaker 03

  So thank you, AOC for basically turning down Elon and calling him stupid.

• 1:42:28Speaker 01

  Yeah. I mean, look, we're going to see what's going to happen there with the ideas. I think more and more, the, the biggest part is watch what Elon is doing. Elon's not a guy that says he's going to do something and doesn't do it. He says, you're not going to need retirement funds one day. Why not? Well, maybe this is going to be one of the ways as Tom, what do you think he sees SpaceX could be worth one day in his eyes? What do you think he thinks SpaceX will be worth in the next 10, 20 years?

• 1:42:58Speaker 03

  Oh, multi-trillions.

• 1:43:00Speaker 01

  Multi-trillions is obviously there. I mean, I get that, but do you think he thinks SpaceX is going to be a $100 trillion company in 20 years?

• 1:43:06Speaker 03

  I think he probably thinks it's going to be bigger than that. I think he, I, I believe that Elon Musk sees SpaceX and everything that's rolling under it. When he talks about interplanetary, it talks about things like that. I, I think he sees this being worth basically, I, I think like large percentage of global economy. I think he sees it like that. He's talking about, think about what he's talking about. Interplanetary species, mining on Mars, right? And the whole telecommunications system. Start taking a look at what all that means and take a look at what that displaces. We saw a whole sector telecommunications took a seven and a half, eight percent drop on

• 1:43:49Speaker 03

  one day and, and everybody's looking at it going like, oh my gosh, he could basically replace an entire industry here. I think that's the way he's thinking. I think he's thinking of replacing industries.

• 1:44:01Speaker 01

  You know what's crazy? I think he thinks he's just getting started. I think the world looks at Elon and says, my God, he's a trillionaire. I think he sits there and he says, I am barely, I finally have the kind of money I need to move and do what I want to do. I am barely getting started.

• 1:44:17Speaker 03

  Do you remember what Jeff Bezos would say when the analyst said to Jeff Bezos? The analyst would say to Jeff Bezos, where are you going? And remember what he used to say? Well, it's, it's only day one at Amazon.

• 1:44:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:44:28Speaker 03

  Well, it's that same attitude.

• 1:44:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, I think he literally thinks it's day one with what he.

• 1:44:31Speaker 03

  I think we have two more years of it being even a question of who the most consequential influential person in the world is. Right now it's still Trump.

• 1:44:41Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:44:42Speaker 03

  For two more years.

• 1:44:43Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:44:44Speaker 03

  When it's his last year of his administration, Elon Musk will be that and then some, not for two years, not for four years, for another 50 years. How old is Elon now in his mid 50s?

• 1:44:53Speaker 01

  54, 55.

• 1:44:55Speaker 03

  So let's just say he lives as long as Warren Buffett. I hope he lives a long life. Get another 40, 50 years of doing his thing.

• 1:45:00Speaker 01

  I think the difference between Elon and LeBron is, is LeBron said, not one, not two, not three, not four, not five. You know, when he said all that stuff, championships.

• 1:45:11Speaker 03

  When he came to the Heat.

• 1:45:12Speaker 01

  I think Elon's going to deliver everything he thinks. I, he better have the greatest protection around him as possible, not a state planning, security. He better, by the way, if, if you put the list of people that you would want to take out of you, the enemy, this guy's at the top of the list. He better have the best security. Every one of his pilots, everybody better be fully background checked, vetted. I mean, it's a very different position he's in right now.

• 1:45:50Speaker 03

  His security needs, I mean, yeah, they should have.

• 1:45:52Speaker 01

  He is a threat to the entire world. Meaning on the left, the globalists, all the globalist number one threat is this guy.

• 1:46:01Speaker 03

  A hundred percent.

• 1:46:02Speaker 01

  They cannot stand this guy right now. Now let me get to the next story. Next story is page five. I think this is on page five that I want to go to is what Ukraine just did. Very weird story. Okay. Very weird story. AP, am I on the right page five or no? Can you guys, uh, uh, there's a page five story. Let me go to this one here. I just found it. AP gets an exclusive look at Stargate, Ukraine's first aerial drone to evacuate wounded soldiers. If you haven't seen this, it's crazy. Can you do me a favor and show this clip of what it does? Watch this folks, go ahead.

  You do got this. Uses directed, keep out of reach of children.

• 1:48:52Speaker 01

  So say you're hurt. This is the first unmanned aerial evacuation drone, a KESAWAK, that was designed specifically to extract wounded soldiers from the battlefield, the place where the minefields and enemy drones are covered at the frontline. Comes in, picks up your body, get in there. Right now, the evacuation takes from several hours to several days, to three days. With the Stargate, we can evacuate a person in a matter of minutes.

• 1:49:29Speaker 00

  Basically, with the speed and with the time of deployment, it can go extremely fast. There is such, such term in medical evacuation and basically in frontline medicine.

• 1:49:43Speaker 02

  It's incredible.

• 1:49:43Speaker 00

  Evacuation, the golden hour.

• 1:49:45Speaker 02

  Until somebody shoots at it.

• 1:49:46Speaker 00

  Basically, this is the hour when the soldier can be saved if evacuated in time. Right now with the Stargate, we can give to the wounded soldier a golden chance, basically, to be evacuated in the matter of minutes.

• 1:50:01Speaker 01

  Vinny, as a former soldier yourself, what is your mind going to right now thinking about?

• 1:50:07Speaker 02

  My vertigo.

• 1:50:08Speaker 01

  Drone, you know, vertigo.

• 1:50:09Speaker 02

  My vertigo with you, me and you would be like, I'd like, no, no, Pat, I'm good. Just drag me. I mean, it's, I mean, it's spectacular. Oh, with me and him, forget it. We'd be arguing who I, I wouldn't be able to go in it because of the vertigo, which would add if I got a bullet hole in me. But, uh, I, I mean, it's a great idea. I, I, I would assume the bottom of it should be bulletproof because if you're the enemy and I'm watching these things fly over, I'm shooting at it. I'm shooting at it. You don't want the enemy to like that. If you're my enemy.

• 1:50:34Speaker 01

  Here's Private Jones. Where's he? Oh.

• 1:50:36Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:50:37Speaker 01

  He's bullet wounds.

• 1:50:37Speaker 02

  Yeah. He got more bullets on the way up to leave. But I mean, that's technology. And this is what, this is Ukrainian?

• 1:50:44Speaker 01

  Ukraine.

• 1:50:44Speaker 02

  I mean, these guys, they're, they're drone.

• 1:50:46Speaker 01

  Tom, what do you think about it?

• 1:50:47Speaker 04

  Um, so if I was in venture capital and you brought me this, I would not invest in it. I would not invest in it. And I'll tell you why. It says, I don't think you have a market because robots are gonna, look, the reason we have drone, we have less pilots at risk because we have drones. Those drones are being flown by kids with control mechanisms in faraway places with all their intelligence and everything that they could bring to bear there. The number of soldiers that are going to be on active fields of battle like this is small and get it's, and it's getting smaller. I believe that the Russia-Ukraine war is

• 1:51:28Speaker 04

  among, we are seeing the beginning of the end of mass human stacks on one side and mass human stacks on the other side thrown at each other with conventional weapons. I think you're dealing now with a drone war that there are no front lines. It goes right to your backyard, starts blowing up your infrastructure. That's the war I see. I would not invest in this because I happen to think this is not going to be necessary. Now, could this be necessary? We already have it in cities. It's called life flight. They land helicopters and things like this. So you're saying, I don't want to risk another man to get a man. That's why you have a drone. I don't want to risk another man to get a man. Okay. I see some usefulness to it, but long-term I wouldn't invest in it because

• 1:52:12Speaker 04

  I think men on the battlefield is, is quickly going to be a thing of the past. We're already seeing what robots can do. We're already seeing robot infantry coming out of China. And so I'm like, it's very interesting. If it saves one life, you know how I feel about life, that's tremendous. But long-term, that's not the way it's going to work.

• 1:52:30Speaker 01

  Adam.

• 1:52:31Speaker 03

  I love how Tom thinks. He thinks as a, you know, an investor. I'm just thinking from a practical, pragmatic person. I love this idea. You know, the, the whole concept of Arnold Schwarzenegger, get to the chopper. You're not going to need a pilot to put his life at risk or the person that's manning the plane with the pilot to put his life at risk. You know, we just had a conversation about what Palmer Lucky's doing with Andoril and this modern warfare and this drones and everything like that. This is sort of the defensive side of the offensive capabilities of these drones. I think the, the bigger story here is that, and Tom is right, that drones are the future of warfare and you could use it for good, for bad, for everything in between. And that is the, the, the reality of modern

• 1:53:12Speaker 03

  warfare. So even if he's wearing a Hawaiian shirt, people like this are changing the face of modern warfare and which will hopefully, as Tom said, lead to less of a loss of life.

• 1:53:23Speaker 01

  Yeah. I mean, so it's definitely not going to be picking up robots, right? It's not going to go picking up. I mean, we were trying to show a good idea and Tom just, you know, party pooper. Just, you know, but screw you guys.

• 1:53:33Speaker 03

  Tom just shot that down.

• 1:53:34Speaker 01

  Okay. All right. So let's go to the next one here. Federal agents went dumpster diving through Ilhan Omar's trash for DNA. Sources reveal stunning indictment will go far beyond expectations. Uh, this is a daily mail story. Inside sources, News Nation, that investigators uh, uh, rummage through Omar's trash, hoping to collect DNA. The congressman, Congresswoman and her family describing the potential evidence as critical detectives can sometimes obtain genetic material from discharged garbage with, without a search warrant. If they are obviously trying to obtain DNA, then yes, this is a very easy get. Former FBI Special Agent Tracy Walters said Homeland Security investigators searched the Minnesota Democrats'

• 1:54:17Speaker 01

  home Monday, seizing her cell phone, notebooks, personal computers and passport. A federal judge approved the raid after investigators presented messages from Omar's sister, Sarah Noor, whose phone was seized earlier this year. Do you know, New York Times reported sources said the home was searched as more than a dozen other raids unfolded simultaneously and that evidence is expected to go to grand jury. Omar, 44, called the search the latest escalation in Trump's campaign of political intimidation and has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. Vinny, what's going on over here?

• 1:54:47Speaker 02

  Well, she, listen, I saw Thomas Holman's face when he was asked about this. He had a grin. Connor, if you could find Thomas.

• 1:54:54Speaker 01

  I have it. I sent it to you guys.

• 1:54:55Speaker 02

  Okay, Pat, it is so, like, it's so revealing because it looks like a kid that has a slit. This is it?

• 1:55:02Speaker 01

  Go for it.

• 1:55:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:55:06Speaker 01

  The allegations were made clear and it wouldn't be investigated and they are investigating it. I'm not going to get ahead of, you know, the Bureau or, or HSI, but you know, I've been told to have a strong case and we'll let the evidence lead where it leads, but she'll be held to the same standard you and I are held. If she violated law, then she'd be held accountable. But I, I don't have the specifics of the evidence they have line by line, but we'll see where it leads. I think, I think they're doing a great investigation. I think they're going to turn over every rock they got. Would this involve denaturalizing and then deporting her if it, if it turns out that there is some kind of immigration fraud? Of course. If, if you lie during a naturalization process, there is a process to denaturalize

• 1:55:50Speaker 01

  somebody. We've done it before. It's a, it's a, it's a long tedious process, but it's been done before. I've been involved with those investigations before. And certainly if the evidence points that way, that could happen.

• 1:56:02Speaker 02

  And just an FYI, guys, I, I, people that are saying it's a witch hunt and, and we'll get into the Obama thing. All the judges that were involved are all Democrat judges. They all worked for Obama. They all worked for, uh, for, for Biden. So don't give me that nonsense. Okay. And the New York Post said, Pat, that after she was elected, Ilhan Omar in Congress 2018, her staff contacted Minnesota officials in May 2019 to change her publicly listed birth year from 1981 to 1982. Why would you do that? What is that? And you know why that matters? Because she claims she became a citizen to her father when he was naturalized in 2000 while she was still under 18. So she was born in 1981,

• 1:56:47Speaker 02

  she would have already been 18, potentially raising the questions about her citizen, uh, citizenship claim. But when it comes to her, Pat, these allegations seem legitimate from surrounding, from, from her citizenship to her birth records. Look at, look at all the piling up. Allegations that she married her brother, which they said that she did, her current status and her finances with her husband, $30 million on taxes. Oh, I made a mistake. It didn't work. And then there's estimated nine, look at all the connections I'm going to do. $9 billion in Minnesota fraud scandal. The daycare centers with Nick Shirley exposed all the allegations with them, all the money going back to fricking terrorist organizations. And last week it dawned on me, if you're from Somalia and

• 1:57:28Speaker 02

  all these people are all from Somalia, which you're coming from a, a typically a hot location, why of all places in the United States, you're going to Minnesota? Like, does anybody?

• 1:57:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, because the churches of Minnesota brought them in. Talk to your people in Minnesota, your church fellow.

• 1:57:45Speaker 02

  My, like, the, the church people?

• 1:57:47Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:57:47Speaker 02

  It's a scam, Adam. It's not, I think it's more than a, I think it's a deeper situation.

• 1:57:51Speaker 03

  Look into it. I wish I was wrong.

• 1:57:52Speaker 02

  No, I'll, I'll look. No, I, I'm not saying that you're wrong, but there's something deeper where the scam.

• 1:57:56Speaker 03

  There's a lot of churches that are very, very far left and believe the open border

• 1:58:00Speaker 01

  By the way, Michigan, it's tied to Ford, who brought the first Imam to Ford to work at Ford and they build a mosque. That's factual.

• 1:58:11Speaker 03

  Yeah, absolutely.

• 1:58:12Speaker 01

  Because Ford was a hardcore, hardcore, you know, a lot of rumors say that he was an anti-Semite. He openly would talk about it.

• 1:58:19Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:58:19Speaker 01

  And guess what he did? He helped build Michigan into what it is today.

• 1:58:23Speaker 03

  Thanks, Henry Ford.

• 1:58:23Speaker 01

  So that's what Henry Ford did.

• 1:58:25Speaker 03

  Yeah. And you can, you could look up what happened in Somalia. I'll, I'll say this.

• 1:58:28Speaker 02

  Yeah, go ahead. Cause I want to get into Obama.

• 1:58:29Speaker 03

  You called it a witch hunt. There's the emotional side of it and the, the logical side of it.

• 1:58:33Speaker 02

  Who called it a witch hunt?

• 1:58:34Speaker 03

  You did.

• 1:58:35Speaker 02

  I, I never said witch hunt. When did I say witch hunt? I never said the witch. I haven't used those words.

• 1:58:40Speaker 01

  Witch hunt for what? For war?

• 1:58:42Speaker 03

  You used the word witch hunt.

• 1:58:43Speaker 02

  I, I did not use the word witch hunt at all. What did I say witch hunt?

• 1:58:47Speaker 03

  I wrote it down when you said it.

• 1:58:48Speaker 02

  I promise you I didn't say witch hunt.

• 1:58:49Speaker 01

  Are you guys on different page here with this one? With Obama and Ilhan Omar or what's your position with Ilhan?

• 1:58:54Speaker 02

  Cause I'm about to go ahead, Adam, because I'm about to go into Obama.

• 1:58:56Speaker 03

  You said, you said something about it as a witch hunt. You're like, no, it was the Biden administration.

• 1:58:59Speaker 01

  Okay, let me, let me just do this. Do me a favor before I go to Adam. Play the clip of what she said. Like if I get deported, what's the big deal? Why should I even be scared? Watch the audacity here. Watch this.

• 1:59:09Speaker 06

  I have no worry. I don't, I don't know how they take away my citizenship and like deport me, but it's, but I don't even know like why that's like a such a scary threat. Like I'm not the eight year old who escaped war anymore. I'm grown. My kids are grown. Like I can go live wherever I want. I, I mean, I have.

• 1:59:27Speaker 03

  Yeah. I talk about ungrateful. The, the thing that I was going to say about witch hunt is you hunt witches because they're witches. And here's this ungrateful Somali witch who basically is like, yeah, I don't even care if I'm here anymore. Whatever, bro. So she is the poster child of ungrateful people that are brought into this country and are basically just giving us the double bird and saying whatever. And she's the poster child of basically what Somalis have brought unfortunately to America. And I'm not saying all Somalis, but the vast majority in Minnesota has been a disaster. The logical side of me is saying, okay, I get it. There's allegations. There's investigations. When there's smoke, there's fire. But until

• 2:00:10Speaker 03

  there's charges or even convictions, then there's no accountability. So let's see what happens. Hopefully it's not just a rhetorical witch hunt. Hopefully they find this Somali broom and actually classify her as an ungrateful.

• 2:00:23Speaker 01

  Can I just say this and then give it to you? So October, October 12th, they do the raid. 26 year old citizenship records, which is what they're examining. Citizenship obtained in 2000. Her age is being questioned, which is what you talk about. Potential criminal violations. Phone seized more than 12 subpoenas, potential loss of citizenship. Previous review in 2019, what people don't realize is this, this was under Obama. I'm sorry, not Obama, Biden. I'm going to show you what a clip I got here that Jake Tamper and CNN is like, dude, this is, this is not even somebody we want to deal with. Let me just send this to you guys that if you can show this, because they're starting to realize the investigation didn't start under Trump. It started, started under Obama. If you can pull this up. So they're

• 2:01:06Speaker 01

  questioning her citizenship, which is one thing. Second investigation is her family's $30 million in assets. How the hell did that happen? Which they're looking into. The other one is the longstanding allegation that Omar married her brother, Vinnie. 2002 Omar entered a religious marriage with Ahmed Hirsi. 2008, that's 02, 08 Omar and Hirsi obtained a religious divorce. 2009 Omar legally married Ahmed Noor Said Elmi. 2011 she, Omar and Elmi obtained a religious divorce, but remained legally married. 2012 Omar reconciled with Hirsi. 2017 she legally divorced Elmi. 2018 she legally married Hirsi. I mean, this, this is a lot of, a lot of things. And she's got a 2019 tax issue. So we'll see what's gonna

• 2:01:51Speaker 01

  happen. It doesn't look like this is gonna go away anytime soon.

• 2:01:53Speaker 02

  And this is where I'm going to, I, listen, we've been waiting for how long? And again, this isn't, I want them political, like, like how Slotkin said, or whatever her, Alyssa said, this is accountability. And then it's funny how America's first Muslim president, Hussein Obama, had to come out and, by the way, he doesn't tweet often, but he put a freaking diatribe sticking up for his protege and fellow Muslim Ilhan Omar on, about how, you know what he said? Federal using, where Trump's using the federal government to target her simply because she's a political opponent and warning that this sets a dangerous president. Presidents. Think about this. This is Barack Obama, the Trump Russia collusion started

• 2:02:38Speaker 02

  under Obama. Okay. And Hillary Clinton's campaign paid for the Steele dossier. He had, he sicked his CIA and Clapper and all these guys on Trump and he weaponized the government against his political opponents. And now he's saying that Trump is doing it? Are you, are you like, he's so delusional and he thinks that people, I mean, the, the polls got like seven some million, uh, views because you know, obviously he's an ex-president, but it's so rich that this is the guy that's talking about what they did to Trump. The impeachments, the, the criminal cases, New York Fulton County, Mar-a-Lago raid. You realize because of Obama, they raided freaking Melania's underwear drawer and he's gonna come out there and say that? And this is what pisses me off. Okay. This is the second

• 2:03:22Speaker 02

  term accountability and we've been screaming for it for how long, Tom? And I understand that these processes take time, but Democrats are playing a completely different game and we're seeing what they're saying that's going to be coming down the pipe. And like, like, I don't think Pat, the, the Republicans have the stomach to, to say it, to do it, to go through with it. Democrats play hard. They go hard in the paint. Trump last week was like, you know what? I'm not gonna go after Obama or Biden or, or Hillary or any of these people because I respect the office of presidency. To hell with that noise. Accountability isn't disrespecting the presidency. Go after them. If they broke the law, go after them. And she's like Ilhan Omar? She's one of God knows how many. Okay. Because at some point in

• 2:04:04Speaker 02

  two years, Adam, Trump is gonna leave office. And you know what's gonna happen? He's the president, he's protected and anybody with him is gonna get a pardon. We're the ones that are gonna be left out there like, yo, dog, we're the ones that have been fighting for you. We've been ride or die. You haven't put any of them in freaking jail or investigated them. It's James Comey, what, because of seashells, nothing's gonna happen to him? And what happened to the other guy, Tom? Big mustache, Bolton, with, with the document cases. And it's like, bro, the Democrats, I respect the hell out of them because they, they will go after you. They try, what do they try to do to, to Trump? Besides all the others, they try to shoot him in the freaking head. They tried, they shot him in the ear. They tried to kill him in the freaking, um, golf course too. How many times? How many

• 2:04:46Speaker 02

  times? They play to freaking win. Meanwhile, we're tippy toeing as Republicans. I, I hate it. I hate it. Cause I think they, they play to win and we're soft when it comes to this type of stuff.

• 2:04:56Speaker 03

  There's a lot of, of your rant that I agree with. I just have to ask you one question. Do you actually think that Obama is literally a Muslim?

• 2:05:02Speaker 02

  Absolutely. 100% I do. Barack, Adam, just do me one favor. You go out there in the world, show me one Barack Hussein Obama. And I want, hold on, that he's a Christian cross wearing, he loves Jesus Christ and he reads the Bible and he's a Christian. Don't let it, Adam, don't let him fool you. He's not a Christian.

• 2:05:21Speaker 03

  I'm asking you a question.

• 2:05:22Speaker 02

  No, and he's not a Christian. Obama's not a Christian.

• 2:05:24Speaker 03

  I remember the, the reason I bring that up is because obviously this is, I don't have a horse in this race. I don't care. I don't, I'm not a fan of Obama at all right that right now. Um, I remember when he was coming into the election, there was a whole pastor Jeremiah Wright. I'm asking you a simple question. Why would you go to church for 20 years if you're Muslim? Like I'm trying to grapple with like, is it just hearsay? Is it just making conjecture?

• 2:05:47Speaker 02

  I don't trust him.

• 2:05:48Speaker 03

  So you just think he just faked going to church?

• 2:05:49Speaker 02

  Absolutely. Look where his grandmother and them are from. Adam, and that's, that's one thing too. And you're the one earlier that were talking about, they made the White House gay. Go look at the history.

• 2:05:58Speaker 03

  He definitely made the White House gay. That's actually literal.

• 2:06:00Speaker 02

  I understand that, but don't let them fool. I'm telling you right now, Adam, Hussein Obama.

• 2:06:04Speaker 03

  Even if he says, I'm Protestant, I'm Christian, you don't believe him?

• 2:06:07Speaker 02

  I don't believe Obama. Period. Adam.

• 2:06:09Speaker 03

  Is there anything that could be given that you would believe he's Christian?

• 2:06:12Speaker 02

  No, I think he's.

• 2:06:13Speaker 03

  Okay. So you're not even willing to acknowledge that he says he's Christian. You just.

• 2:06:17Speaker 02

  What's the, what, what Christian do you feel Obama, like, give me something that exudes Christianity?

• 2:06:22Speaker 03

  You're the Christianity expert. I'm just simply asking.

• 2:06:24Speaker 02

  I'm far from an expert. I'm, I'm flawed as hell, but I don't believe him at all. Period. End of story. I don't believe Obama in anything, Adam. I think he's one of the worst presidents we've had.

• 2:06:34Speaker 03

  I'm being super clear with my brother, Vinnie. You think he's been lying to the whole world?

• 2:06:36Speaker 02

  Absolutely.

• 2:06:37Speaker 03

  That he's an actual Muslim. All right.

• 2:06:39Speaker 02

  I actually, I actually do. Cause ask his brother. Ask his family. Ask him. Oh yeah.

• 2:06:44Speaker 03

  I'm just clarifying how you think.

• 2:06:45Speaker 02

  Yeah. I don't, I don't believe anything about this guy.

• 2:06:48Speaker 01

  Um, yeah. And by the way, I, I, you know what I just did right now is I, I went and I said, can, how many, how many Americans named Hussein are Christian? That's what I just asked. The data wouldn't pull up. How many Americans with a middle name Hussein are Christians? I don't know. I haven't met any.

• 2:07:05Speaker 03

  Oh, either of I. That's a valid question. I get it.

• 2:07:08Speaker 01

  I've never met a.

• 2:07:09Speaker 02

  Barack Hussein Obama.

• 2:07:10Speaker 01

  I've never met a Hussein who is a, a Christian. I don't know.

• 2:07:16Speaker 03

  Do you think he was lying about being Christian? Going to church for 20 years? I mean, I'm just asking.

• 2:07:20Speaker 02

  Do you think he went to church every Sunday?

• 2:07:21Speaker 03

  Guys, I'm just asking questions.

• 2:07:22Speaker 02

  I know, but Adam, Adam, this is a guy that was talking bad about your boy BB the other day too. He was talking shit about your boy BB.

• 2:07:27Speaker 01

  Let me, let me wrap up with this last story before we go on. Something that's very personal to Tom and I here. There's a very weird statistic that was shown between the Dodgers and the Milwaukee Brewers that if you, have you seen the statistic?

• 2:07:42Speaker 03

  No.

• 2:07:43Speaker 01

  Can you do me a favor and pull up the statistics? So story comes out, two of the smallest spenders will meet in the World Series for the first time since 1991. I'm gonna read this to you and then Vinnie or Tom, if you have that stat, if you can send it to the boys in the back.

• 2:07:57Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:07:57Speaker 01

  So you can pull it up. This is the craziest thing. Watch this here. Okay. Watch. Go ahead. So this is Milwaukee against the Dodgers. Payroll comparison. Milwaukee 142. Look at Dodgers. Goes close to 403, 404. I don't know what the number is. 412 in Major League Baseball. When the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the mighty money in Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday, it set up a first world series between two of the smallest spenders in 35 years. Milwaukee will face Cleveland or Tampa Bay in a seven series. October 23rd, the Dodgers, Mets and Yankees will watch from home with payrolls that each cost more than the Brewers' Guardians and Rays. By the way, the, the Guardians, Vinnie, do you know the Guardians' payroll?

• 2:08:41Speaker 02

  How much?

• 2:08:42Speaker 01

  Is the same as what the Dodgers paid one player, Otani.

• 2:08:45Speaker 02

  No way. I love it.

• 2:08:47Speaker 03

  They're a whole.

• 2:08:48Speaker 01

  You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Tom knows this. Look at his smile on his face. The Guardians payroll, which is 74 million Cleveland Indians back in the day.

• 2:08:55Speaker 02

  Cleveland Indians. I just call them what they are.

• 2:08:56Speaker 01

  The Guardians have the same exact payroll as Otani, one person, but this is the crazy statistic.

• 2:09:02Speaker 02

  That doesn't make sense.

• 2:09:03Speaker 01

  Watch this.

• 2:09:03Speaker 02

  Adam, look at this.

• 2:09:04Speaker 01

  So the Brewers against the Dodgers. Adam, in 2025, when they faced each others, Dodgers swept them 4-0. 149, uh, Tom, PA, how many 149 pitches? Uh, what does PA stand for?

• 2:09:20Speaker 03

  Plate appearances.

• 2:09:21Speaker 01

  Plate appearances. 128 at bats, 32 hits. Average was 250. On base percentage was 347. Next year, the Brewers beat the Dodgers with the same exact stats. Can you imagine that?

• 2:09:34Speaker 03

  But going the other way, they swept.

• 2:09:36Speaker 01

  Yeah, they swept.

• 2:09:37Speaker 02

  It doesn't make sense.

• 2:09:38Speaker 01

  Now, here's the thing. One of the things I love about sports, because sports is about grudge and revenge and all of that, right? One of the Brewers was being interviewed and he says, look, I just don't like the way the Dodgers behaved when they beat us. Did you see this clip?

• 2:09:53Speaker 02

  No, no, no.

• 2:09:54Speaker 01

  Where he's like, when they beat us, they were just kind of sitting out there as if it's not a big deal. I'll send it to you guys. If you have the clip, go for it. Watch this here, Vinnie. They carried themselves on the field after sweeping us last year was, uh, as if it's not a big deal. Um, we won the DS against the Cubs and, and I think we kind of celebrated like that was something.

• 2:10:15Speaker 03

  Those guys swept us, they sent us home and you would have thought it was a handshake line at a spring training game.

• 2:10:22Speaker 01

  You understand what he said?

• 2:10:24Speaker 03

  That's something that I carried with me and something that I remembered.

• 2:10:28Speaker 01

  This is my kind of a guy.

• 2:10:29Speaker 02

  I like.

• 2:10:30Speaker 03

  And yeah, I mean, it was just, it was a little bit of motivation to just say, we gotta keep going until there's not another game left to play.

  And the skipper who's being interviewed from Milwaukee says, they got a bunch of Hall of Famers in that locker room? We got a bunch of gamers and we beat them, right? But you know, where's the, where's the Indians at right now against?

• 2:13:19Speaker 04

  Oh, they're losing 3-2.

• 2:13:21Speaker 01

  Are they down on Tampa? Milwaukee's up 3-2?

• 2:13:23Speaker 04

  It's gonna be.

• 2:13:24Speaker 01

  So it's gonna be Milwaukee-Tampa is what it's gonna look like.

• 2:13:26Speaker 04

  And I know you being a minority owner of the Yankees, obviously you have vested interest. Take away your personal and your business, you know, interest. Someone named, last name Bet David. The David's going against the Goliaths. You do have to respect these small market teams.

• 2:13:47Speaker 01

  Screw them.

• 2:13:48Speaker 04

  Stunning.

• 2:13:49Speaker 01

  Screw all of them.

• 2:13:50Speaker 04

  Bet David?

• 2:13:51Speaker 01

  Screw all of them.

• 2:13:52Speaker 04

  What's the song say about, why bet on Goliaths when you got Bet David?

• 2:13:55Speaker 01

  Screw all these guys.

• 2:13:56Speaker 04

  Bet David is the Milwaukee Brewers.

• 2:13:58Speaker 01

  I could care less.

• 2:14:00Speaker 04

  It is the small market.

• 2:14:01Speaker 01

  You gotta love it.

• 2:14:02Speaker 04

  It is the San Antonio. Green Bay beat Dallas, they kicked their butt.

• 2:14:07Speaker 01

  Milwaukee and Tampa, I totally get it, but listen, this is the kind of a, like a, you know, giving the middle finger to the Goliath of your business? That's exactly what's happening right now, if you think about it. It's exactly what's happening right now with these guys.

• 2:14:22Speaker 04

  Why would you bet on Goliath? When you got Bet David? What are you talking about?

• 2:14:26Speaker 02

  I'm still trying to figure out that tweet, that the, Tom, what are the statistical odds?

• 2:14:31Speaker 01

  Of that happening?

• 2:14:32Speaker 02

  What are the odds? And Connor, maybe you guys could do this too, that the same exact, everything happened at them, but it was reversed, meaning you got swept. Identical, my cousin Vinny. It has to be astronomical.

• 2:14:44Speaker 04

  These particular stats are, are really amazing. Last year, the Dodgers had seven home runs. Milwaukee had six this year. On base percentage was 800 versus 700. There's some things in there, but of these particular stats, it is quite a statistical.

• 2:14:59Speaker 02

  It's an anomaly. Like how, how does that happen? That since everything is exactly, like, it doesn't make any sense to me. When I saw that, when I showed Pat, Pat looked at me like I was crazy.

• 2:15:09Speaker 01

  Vinny, baseball is magical. I've said this many times, baseball is God's favorite sport, period. And last year, the World Series was the best one I've ever seen in my life. It's gonna be interesting to see what happens. Nobody, nobody wants to see a sweep.

• 2:15:23Speaker 02

  No.

• 2:15:24Speaker 01

  Nobody wants to see a sweep. You want, like, by the way, Yankees got swept.

• 2:15:26Speaker 02

  I know.

• 2:15:27Speaker 01

  Dodgers got swept.

• 2:15:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:15:29Speaker 01

  Red Sox got swept. Didn't the Red Sox get swept by us?

• 2:15:31Speaker 02

  Yeah, by us.

• 2:15:32Speaker 01

  You're like, hey, we're feeling good, all this other stuff. And the former MVP of AL, American League MVP, Aaron Judge, you got the other MVP of NL, how many MVPs does he have? Not four or five? I don't know how many he got. Otani got four. They were both hurt going into it. So it was, it was a very weird thing that's taking place. We'll see what happens.

• 2:15:50Speaker 04

  And American League Cy Young was on the Yankees. So both MVPs, this year's MVPs, PCA out of Chicago and out of Houston, both of those MVPs went home early. And the Cy Young Award winner for the American League went home early. And but, so you only have, it's really weird. You only have one of those players left in the World Series, which is Miz, who is the National League Cy Young Award winner for Milwaukee.

• 2:16:19Speaker 01

  Very weird, very weird year.

• 2:16:21Speaker 04

  It is. So it's like the small market team, but guess what? If Tampa wins tonight, you will have a first time World Series champion. And Pat knows, I love the Dodgers and I talk about them a lot, but I also love baseball. And I'm pissed that we didn't.

• 2:16:38Speaker 01

  What do you love more, baseball or Dodgers?

• 2:16:40Speaker 04

  I, I think I love the sport a little more than that.

• 2:16:43Speaker 01

  I love baseball. Yeah, I love baseball.

• 2:16:45Speaker 04

  I'll tell you something. All those little kids with hats, all those little kids with jerseys that are in Tampa and that are in Milwaukee, somebody's gonna get a, if Tampa beats Cleveland, if it's those two, some kids are gonna get their first World Series taste ever.

• 2:17:04Speaker 01

  That's cool.

• 2:17:05Speaker 04

  Because they've never, those teams have never won.

• 2:17:07Speaker 01

  Forty-four years. I want to show this, if you can go back to this thing here, parents, I saw this, I wanted to share it with you. I think parents, sometimes we need help because in our eyes, you see something you want your kids to do, and they're just different than you and I. So you know, this is a very simple illustration that shows if you talk too much, start a podcast. If you argue too much, become a lawyer. You're not a parent that you argue too much. You notice everything. Become a designer. If you're too competitive, build a business. If you're too sensitive, create art. If you overthink too much, become a strategist. If you ask too many questions, become a researcher. If you care too much, help others.

• 2:17:51Speaker 01

  And if you daydream too much, tell stories. Go tell stories to people, right? If you're too curious, explore the world, right? You're too obsessed, master your craft. You know, you think differently, create something. Okay? The reality sometimes as parents that we, we forget about, we had a very good day yesterday. We were hanging out, having a good time. We went to this place called Kotay and Vinny literally looked like a different human being by the time we were eating. I told Vinny, I whispered to him, I said, guys, don't eat the spread, don't eat all this stuff that's coming in, just wait for it. Food is not, he's like, nah, nah, we got it. I'm a champ when it comes down to eating. I've never seen Vinny with this much food in his belly. Vinny was gone, Vinny's not gonna eat food for about a couple of weeks.

• 2:18:35Speaker 02

  I'm not eating all day.

• 2:18:36Speaker 01

  But when you're around kids, sometimes we tend to put them in a box and the reality of it is God has gifted everybody in a different way. Our goal is try to find a way on what we can do with their gifts to help them, guide them in life and do special things because they need that guidance. And if we try to put, one of my favorite quotes of anybody, Albert Einstein is, if you try to teach a fish to climb a tree, he would feel like an idiot. A fish cannot climb a tree. That's Einstein's quote. A fish is a, you know, a fish is a fish. Stop trying to ask a fish to climb a tree. He's gonna feel like an idiot, right? Let it be whoever it wants to be. Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

• 2:19:21Speaker 01

  Okay? Because look at that fish under the tree.

• 2:19:23Speaker 02

  Poor guy.

• 2:19:24Speaker 01

  And sometimes we do that as parents. I think it's a good idea for us to think about that and take a different angle with them. Anyways, I'm in a mode of writing this fatherhood book, so my brain is filled with a bunch of content like this. But having said that, for those of you guys that are still watching this, that you want to be with us election night, let me give you a whisper of who's gonna be with us that night. Okay, you're one of the first to know this, if you're staying till the very, very end, these are the people that'll be joining us that night on election night. So the panel is gonna, some, a lot of these guys are gonna be live with us there. A lot of people will be there, comedians, sports folks. I don't want to give you the names, I'll give you the names more on Friday as well because every day we're talking to people, they're gonna be joining us on election night. And those that'll be with us there live will be on C-SPAN as well. It'll be televised.
