There's an article talking about Patrick Bay David got spit in the face. I don't know if you saw the video or not with me walking with a federal agent, leaving a doge party in D.C. guy. I walk up to him with my son to talk to him. Ask him a question. I'll show you the clip on what happened to it if you haven't seen it yet. A lot of other things going on. Joy Reid is very emotional. It's a very tough situation there, Joy Reid. There's a clip of her crying, so a lot of people would be sentimental.
But just a few years ago, she was saying stop crying to the people on the opposing side. So it's kind of hard to feel bad for. But her friend Rachel Maddow came out defending her. And trying to give her some encouragement. And President Trump maybe leaked some information about Apple investing $500 billion. And he says, maybe I wasn't supposed to say this or do this.
We got Amy in the house to tell us a little bit about Ashley St. Clair, maybe a different perspective. Also a little bit about, who are those guys, the two movie stars? Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. And it's still going, right? This Justin Baldoni guy.

Pam Bondi, I believe, has the Epstein files on her desk. Trump told drug makers to move production to U.S. or face tariffs. New Small Business Administration shift goes viral as she tours empty cubes, announces return to office. Another story here is Musk says federal workers must detail what they got done or risk losing their job, and I think he gave them a second chance yesterday, another chance for them to address it or not. California, you ready for this? Newsome.
is coming begging for you to give him $40 billion. Yes, it's your money. He wants $40 billion from you on the way they handle the fires in L.A. The L.A. Fire Department chief, guess what just happened to her? She got fired. What? And more than 25% of L.A. Palisades borrowers are at risk of delinquency. That's one out of four, a quarter. Zelensky. Offers to step down in exchange for peace and Ukraine's NATO membership. Far-left protesters, we already told this story, Stephen A. Smith.
And James Carville, they got something going on. James Carville wasn't happy about Stephen A. Smith saying what he said. And he says, you sound like a, you know, he told him to stop talking about politics and stick to basketball. Sound like shut up and dribble type of a situation. Don't come at me like that. And Stephen A gets back at him and says, you sound like one of those old... Curmudgeon. Yeah, curmudgeon.
What the hell is this? Like an old, just scorned, old, wrinkled up old man. He ain't lying. They don't have the word curmudgeon. You need the new technology to go like this. Curmudgeon. What is this? Dem, Wisconsin. Governor introduces Bill replacing the word mother with inseminated person. Thank God. That is an actual story. Wow. Okay. Representative Ilhan Omar, the dumbing of the American people has arrived.
How else do you get Trump again? By the way, she literally called you, half of Americans, stupid. Straight up. No, like no filters. And Mehdi's sitting there, you know, hearing her say that. Another story here, Iran tests Trump as regime general says it'll wipe Israel off the map. Houthis fired surface-to-air missiles at U.S. fighter jets in a first attack of its kind.
There was an AI robot that attacked the participant at a Chinese festival, which I think, is this the one that Rogan shared? Yeah, that looks scary. You've got to see this one here, what the robot does. Back up, bitch. Yeah. American Bar Association. to stop enforcing DEI standards for law schools. Graduates face an uphill battle to employment. That's a financial time story. MSNBC, I told you that one. Aaron Judge, I actually want to talk about this one.
You know, Adam, I know you got thoughts on this one. Aaron Judge explains why he's staying clean even after Yankees stunning. Facial hair reversal. He is still staying clean. Staying clean. You mean facial hair clean or steroids clean? No, no, no. Facial hair clean. You never know. And then we got more Americans identify as LGBT than ever. Before, we've got a couple of the Lester Holt steps down.
Diddy faces fresh crisis as his lawyer steps down. There's a bunch of other stories that we may get into. Jason Scoop steps up to Alec Baldwin. It's pretty funny. He's hilarious. We have to show that. It's just so funny. This guy is just a funny guy.
Crenshaw's got a fight going on. But let me start off with a couple things. Tom is not feeling well. He's watching this right now. He is not feeling well at all. This is not a guy that calls in sick or anything like that. Talked to his wife Kim yesterday. So for those of you who absolutely love Tom, you know what I want you to do? I want you to force him to talk by manecting him.
and giving him the best, wishing him the best. You know he checks all the Manets out there as well. Rob, if you can put up a Tom's Manet QR code, go to Tom's Manet right there. I want to say, where is he ranked right now for the month? Is he fifth place or sixth place? He is fourth place right behind Adam. He's at 513. Vinny's at 481. Adam's at 535. And he's 619. Why don't you bump Tom up above Adam by wishing him...
Give him some love. And maybe send a couple of Menecks giving some hey to Adam. He'll take you. Trust me. He doesn't mind me at all. I'm actually going to Meneck Tom because I don't have his number. There you go. You should. All right. Having said that, I do want to share something with you guys as an opening monologue before we get into the podcast here today.
This morning I'm reading an article from 2017. Kellogg. Kellogg School. Kellogg is known as one of the best marketing schools out there. Rob, if you can go to the story here. If you can just go to the story, click on the link below. That's Northwestern, is it not? It's a very, very, very respectful school. Sitting near a high performer can make you better at your job.
It's called a spillover from certain coworkers can boost our productivity or jeopardize our employment. What are they saying? Go a little bit lower to read this a little closer. The people we sit near at work inevitably impact our day. They may brighten our mood or drive us crazy. So for me, like, I have a problem here, right, 25? What's more, our neighbors can actually change how we do.
at our jobs. Researchers looked at the 25-foot radius around high performers at a large technology firm and found that these workers boosted performers in coworkers by 15%. That spillover. This positive spillover translated into an estimated $1 million in additional annual profits, according to new research from Dylan Miner, an assistant professor at Managerial Economics and Decision Sciences at Kellogg. Now watch this here, how this continues.
25 feet radius, 15% positive, okay? Watch the opposite. The flip side is that bad eggs impact their neighbors too. Negative spillovers from so-called toxic coworkers. is even more pronounced, sometimes having twice the magnitude of impact on profits as positive spillover. Yet while this toxic spillover happens very quickly, it also dissipates.
Almost immediately once that worker is either fired or relegated to the far physical reaches of the company. You can stop with the story here. What is this story about? If you think about a lady this morning, Crystal, who her and I menact a lot, she menacted me today to speak to her son, 13-year-old son. I've met him before. So I sent him a message this morning on the drive here talking to him about what it is to be 13 years old.
I've been talking to my boys right now about a book I'm reading called Aggressive Girls and Clueless Boys. Every father with boys has to read this book because nowadays girls are approaching guys about sex and flirting versus it used to be the other one. We had to.
Today, girls are the ones that are more aggressive. If you have a son, do whatever you can. Don't look at the ratings. Just go read this book. It's 80 pages. You must read this book. Every parent, it's very necessary for you to read this book. It's 136 pages. So I'm talking to this kid about...
One of the most basic things you can do in life at early ages to win is choose your friends wisely. Later on in your career, one of the best things you can do in your life is choose your bosses, the company you work with, and your coworkers wisely. You do, you'll grow. You'll do better. You don't, you'll hate the company. You'll hate your boss. You'll be angry at everybody. You'll be walking on extras like, oh my God, I can't believe this. And you're thinking it's you.
It's somebody else. Now, don't get me wrong. Some people in life are crap magnets. There are people that purely are crap magnets. They cannot help themselves but constantly attract negativity and problems in your life. You got to do whatever you can to avoid those folks. But if you can, simply. decide to attract better people in your life, your life can improve in every possible way. Many years ago,
I wanted to learn how to be a better networker. There was a guy I would work a room with and I would watch this guy. I'm like, oh my God, this guy's a great networker. I'd never seen a networker like this before. This guy was a former hairstylist for Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.
He would go into a room and it was like, boom, he went from this guy to that guy to this guy to this guy to that guy. And then all of a sudden we're in the office of the CEO's room. I'm like, how the hell did this guy do it? Couldn't believe how the guy would network. What's the moral of the story?
Networking has changed. There's been an evolution to networking. But for us, I took many of those things I learned many years ago and I applied it in business, in raising money, in getting in rooms, in getting guests on the podcast. and recruiting folks who became presidents of the company, CTOs, technology, investors, raising money. But the ability to network is so critical today because there's an element of networking that's also networking and finding your peer group, your friends.
There's eight mistakes people make when it comes down to networking. Next Tuesday at 3 p.m., Tuesday, March 4th at 3 p.m., I'm going to give you a PDF of the eight mistakes. people make on networking, on this webinar that I'm hosting, you can go to vtwebinar.com to register. Again, vtwebinar.com to register. You're going to get those eight mistakes. Trust me, you want to know what these eight mistakes are because it's do's and don'ts.
That we'll cover on that podcast and on that Zoom. It's a one-hour Zoom, free for everybody. And I'll share the evolution of networking tools. And also on that webinar, I'm going to give you three updates. Massive, massive new features on. that I'm so excited about and an opportunity for some of you guys to come and join us at Kentucky Derby. So go to VT webinar, register for it, and I look forward to seeing you there next Tuesday, the 4th at 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Registered. We'll see you there. All right. Having said that, let's get right into it. Stories with what's going on. So California, Newsom sends Congress $40 billion request for L.A. Fire aid. Okay, so hey, Congress, we need $40 billion. Congress then comes and gets the money from who? Taxpayers. So that means you're really fixing the problem of his lack of leadership.
They're coming to collect money. So Newsom requests a $40 billion in federal aid, describing it as the most expensive disaster in U.S. history after hurricane-force winds destroyed over 16,000 structures in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. addressing congressional leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson, Democratic leader Kim Jeffries. Make no mistakes. L.A. will use this money wisely. Do you believe that? Who believes that? Let me read that one more time. How he opens it up.
Make no mistake, Los Angeles will use this money wisely. Who is the head of Los Angeles? Who is the head of the state? We have to trust that he's going to use the money wisely. Of course, he used the $24 billion to fix homelessness in California very wisely. We know where that went. And he eliminated all of it, right? I mean, homelessness didn't just double or triple. So to assist individuals, businesses, and property owners, he stressed.
California's economic importance, calling it the tentpole of the American economy and stating California's success is America's success. The request faces Republican opposition with Donald Trump and allies pushing for conditions on the aid as part of a broader Washington debate. Newsom, who previously...
Traveled to Washington to appeal directly to Trump, acknowledged the administration's past support, writing, Trump and his administration have demonstrated a strong commitment to L.A.'s recovery, et cetera, et cetera. And meanwhile, two other stories I'll add to this. I'm not going to read it. L.A. Chief Fire Department fired. And on top of that, more than a quarter of L.A. Palisades borrowers are at risk of delinquency. Brandon, what are your thoughts on this story?
Yeah, so I do not think for one second that we should give them any money, especially not giving it to them to handle themselves. Between the homelessness and then the high-speed railway, it was supposed to cost $33 billion at the beginning. It's in phase one still, and it's already...
up to $120-something billion, and they barely even cleared. You're saying don't even give any money, even if there's somebody that holds them accountable? If they're handling it, don't give it to them. I think the federal government should be managing the way that they spend it and have maybe a project manager that's working for the federal government. Who would you trust on Trump's team to manage it beginning to end that Newsom has to report to?
Anybody that did any of his projects, because he's a professional at making sure things get done on time in a cheap way. But California is like the equivalent of Ukraine. It's like a black hole for money. Any money that we've ever sent to California just disappeared.
that was supposed to fix has gotten worse after we gave them the money. And in addition to that, it's a place that's being held captive right now by a supermajority. So Trump originally said that he was going to give it to them if they did some simple things like requiring voting IDs. So I would like to see him do that, too, because he has some leverage here.
So this is a good chance for Trump to use that to get things changed in the state of California. Yeah, absolutely. How far you think he can go? You think he can go as far as trying to...
get the state to flip? And if yes, how would he cause the state to flip? What could Trump do to cause the state to flip? I think if you just required voting ID, something simple like that, the state might be a red state. We have no idea what the actual voting demographics of California are because of the way they do things like that. That is such a good point. It's the most chaotic voting place I've ever seen, plus the supermajority. So let's negotiate that.
So you're Trump amnusome. I come to you, hey, we need $40 billion. What are you telling me? Okay, you need voting ID requirements. I'm not going to do it. You can't make me do that. These people need help. We can't do anything. So you're going to let these people go without getting any help? These people are suffering. No, you're letting them do it.
But I don't have $40 billion. I need your $40 billion. You have the ability to require voting IDs. These are two different issues. We can talk about that on a different setting, but these people need the help right now. The position of the federal government is that if you do not... Require voting IDs. We will not give you $40 billion. What do you think is the likelihood that that happens? What do you think is the likelihood that happens, Amy?
I don't think it's very likely that that would occur. I think it should. I think that this is an incredible opportunity to create incentive for California to really right a lot of the wrongs that they've had. If Trump can leverage it to that end, that would be amazing. However, I think the Democrats... are going to hold on to anything they can to be able to maintain the advantage that has probably won them the previous election and is the only reason in any sense of the world it was.
remotely close or at least portrayed close in media is because of the mass over-representation of illegals that they were probably bringing in to keep Democrats in power. Yeah, Vinny. Listen. It's at the point where we have to just, and I'm with Brandon, we have to say...
Absolutely not. And he could cry and he could do whatever he wants because this is exact. Him doing the no voter ID is basically saying, we don't give a damn who's here. We just want to keep our power. And you know who's now making her rounds? I showed up yesterday in Palisades.
She's doing her word salad speech. Kamala Harris, guys, because if he's going to leave Tony Robbins, if you got it, because if you think about it, guys, he's he's probably going to be out really, really soon because people are fed up with him. And guess who's going to come in? Kamala Harris. So that's going to.
land on the voters the people of california it's up to them because if they don't do it i told brandon yesterday i'm done with you pat i'm done with you guys if you keep voting for this and then afterwards disaster strikes and you guys keep crying You guys are zero money until there's accountability. Absolutely. Because by you saying this, Governor Newsom.
New scum. I'll role play. Okay, we've got role play. You on your own, you're saying no voter ID, meaning two people that went to go vote that I know. Mr. President, you're combining two separate issues. No, but what I'm saying is the bigger problem, what you're doing...
is literally telling people illegals to come, which in turn makes people all on drugs. These people are suffering. These people don't have a place. These people need help. These people need money to fix these things. And what about the people that are suffering with fentanyl, 250,000 people dead a year?
Two separate issues. We're trying to address this issue now. You are taking your time. They're suffering. The people of California need your help, Mr. President. Guess what? The people of California will be on my side knowing that you need voter ID. You think so? You think so? 1,000%. Okay, so let me tell you. This is a very important point you're making.
the backbone of California voters. Because, folks, just so you know, the moves they're making is for him to get out and for her to get in. Rob, play the clip here. Watch this clip here. Tell me if you want this person as your governor. Go back and see if this is a person. This is Fires. She's over there now. See if you want this person as your governor. Go ahead, Rob. When you see this, you're here. You're now seeing it up close. It's not only seeing it, Alex, you can smell it.
You can feel it, right? So it's seeing it with our eyes and many people have seen it. You all are covering it. Literally be on the ground here. You can smell. The smoke that was here, you can feel the toxicity frankly of the environment. you can feel the energy of all of
Guys, think about this. She's been on vacation, probably drinking, and they're like, hey, Kamala, it's time. And she's like, I'm just going to do this, and that's the future. And if you guys vote for her, that's where it comes back. I have zero remorse. You were in California yesterday. I was in California. You should see. Yes, I was in California. Torlock.
with a bunch of Assyrians. Assyrians, which was amazing. Any beautiful girls, future wives, possibly? Hold on. Two things I have to say. Tell me the quality of the girls, the ladies of Syria, because guys, I'm looking for somebody for Vinny. Hold on. The show, amazing. eights and nines. Really? Oh, but you want to laugh? My mom is literally a pimp. She's like, the receptionist is a Syrian. She's like, my, please.
I want a kid before I die. So I'm like, Mom, this is like you're being a pimp live. The show was amazing. Shout out to everybody for Sweeney and Shereel. But the quality of California. The homeless. What were they saying politically about California? Where are they at? Some of the guys that maybe support a new city. Great point. I'm in the lobby and I'm with my whole family. There's like 10 of us. And all of a sudden a whole table is like, oh.
PBD, a Latino group with kids. They were there for their kids' baseball tournament. And he goes, man, what you guys are saying about this effing Newsome, he's like, we live by that railway. Hispanic family. Hispanic family shitting on him and saying we need.
They don't give us any other options to vote. And that's why I respect them. But for anybody else that keeps voting for them because you have to be true to your party, I have zero remorse because you're voting for it. You want it? That's what you get. She's coming. going to get whatever they deserve. In essence, what you have to do is ask if you're going to send them this money, what percentage was it a natural disaster versus what percentage was it just complete government incompetence?
I'm never going to be the zero or a hundred guys, zero money ever again, a hundred percent. Or yes, just keep throwing money at Ukraine. Keep throwing money at California. I'm never going to be in that camp. Isolation is extremist. It doesn't work for me, but there does need to be accountability. And we get to figure out. What percentage was just complete government incompetence? I don't know how you can figure out that number. I'm sure you can get Doge on the scene.
What I do know is this. You're talking about people in California, whether they're going to vote Republican or not. We remember what happened in the recall with Gavin Newsom. It would have been in 2021, 2022, whatever year that was. They thought Larry Elder was going to beat him. Blow out.
Okay, this is going to shock you a little bit, but I actually have a couple liberal friends in California. And I'm on a group text message with all these guys. And one of them, he's a known guy. He's in the Hollywood world. and i'm like listen guys uh what the hell Keep going. Pat, are you going to interrupt me? I'm just saying where your friends are from, but keep going. Pat, what's your point? I'm waiting for it to steal. The point is I'm basically saying, dude, how...
What's going on there? What percentage was just incompetence? DEI just completely unqualified for your job. He's like, how dare you even ask that right now? How dare you even assume that? I go, I mean, it's... City's on fire. You literally lost your home. You don't have any additional questions? Just want to ride with the government? I said, we're going back and forth. They're going back and forth. I go, let me ask you just one question. When's the last time that you voted for any...
Non-Democrat, Republican, Independent. He's like, why do you want to know that? Just a simple question. It's like, why? What does it matter? I go, I just answer the question. And then ready? I would never vote for a Republican in my life. I swear to God, they're the worst. Can't believe. I go, exactly. Don't feel bad for you. So whatever you got. You got Rob. Who is this? Is it the chief getting fired? This is Karen Bass. Yes. The governor. I'm sorry. The mayor of Los Angeles talking about.
how the buck stops with her at the firing of Kristen Crowley, the L.A. fire chief. But just a week earlier, she then also blames Kristen Crowley. It's good. Yes, as the mayor, as the mayor of the city. the buck stops with me i am in charge however the person in charge of the fire department as i mentioned before whenever there was a fire emergency
a weather emergency or a hint of a problem. I am contacted directly and not just by Chief Crowley, but by any of the heads of the departments. As you know, we have over 40. When I talked about it with the fire chief, what she said is, is that we have warnings of Santa Ana winds a lot. But predicting this, and you saw.
From the city, from the county, that level of preparation really didn't happen. So it didn't reach that level to me to say something terrible could happen and maybe you shouldn't have gone on the trip. What does this mean, Rob? So one minute, the buck stops with me. Second minute, she's blaming her. Yeah, and you can't accept responsibility. And then as you're accepting responsibility, say the buck stops with me.
However, you're immediately directing blame back to the other person. She fired her. She did. Remember, though, this happened like weeks ago. Remember, it was a couple of days after the fire happened and the chief spoke out against the mayor saying like, hey, what are we supposed to do if the water is not in the hydrants? Then like minutes after that, articles came out that she got fired and then they kind of pulled back on a little bit.
So this decision seems like it was made weeks ago. Well, I want to show you this here, Rob, if you don't mind. If you can do me a favor. And these two kind of go hand in hand. You'll see why. So we're at an event in D.C. We're at CPAC. Afterwards, we go to a doge party at this beautiful penthouse. What was it? Five-story penthouse of Dwight Howard that the new guy, a Bitcoin guy, I don't want to say his name, he bought. So beautiful property. You're going there.
We're at the top. And by the way, Tico got in at 13 years old. He got in, so he's kind of like hanging out. He has a mustache. Mustache let him in. He's tall and he's got big hands, big feet, so they're kind of like this guy must be at least 18 years old. So they let him in. We go into this place. We're walking up. Him and Tom are at the top on a rooftop. Shout out to Tom. Tom, they're chanting. Fascists out of D.C. Fascists out of D.C.
And then you got Tom and Tico from the top. They're chanting. What are they chanting? Give fascism a chance. Give fascism a chance. So anyways, I'm coming up. I'm like, Tom's either being a bad influence on Tico. Something's going on. So we're like. okay, guys, we got to go get the plane because we got back at 1.30 in the morning, so we get down. While we walk down, I want to walk up to these guys.
To see what they're all about. Rob, is this the tweet or is this my video? Which one is this? This is your video? Yes, my video. The other video, Rob. Okay, so play this and then go to the other one. I see what you're doing. Go for it. So this is I just walk up to this guy to say, what are you upset about? That's me. That's Brandon. There's our service agent. So cops come in and he can't answer me anything while I'm asking him questions.
Okay? And then, boom, he spits on a federal agent's back. Boom. See right there on the back? Okay. Go to the other clip. Obviously, he gets arrested. If you go to the Twitter one, there's a different clip. He gets arrested. And...
He gets arrested afterwards. Guys are manecting me and texting me and saying, hey, Pat, you should file this. You should go sue this guy. You should do that. You should do this. And by the way, this is a different angle. Go a little bit lower. Mario in the fall put the clip. Go a little bit lower, a little bit lower, a little bit lower, a little bit lower.
Right there. Okay, so. Oh, that's Freedom, whatever. Oh, just the tweet. Zoom in on Mario's clip, Rob, if you could. Yeah, go. So zoom out a little. What'd you say? Freedom news. Okay, got it. Got it. Okay, sounds good. So anyways. So the question becomes, what are they complaining about? Are they complaining about those doing what? Firing people that are government employees who are maybe not working? One guy came up to me with a mask, screaming, like angry, just going like this.
And then you realize these are paid agitators. Thank you. These are not people that are protesting. By the way, Rob, do me a favor. Play the clip that's in the notes section that I have of Bill Clinton. You tell me. Who this person sounds like. This is Bill Clinton, okay? I want to say this is 93, okay? Look what he's talking about. This is maybe the OG doge, and the Democrats applauded him for doing this. Go ahead, Rob, play this clip.
We cut the federal government by more than 100,000 positions. Oh, really? What? Okay. We're on the way to reducing it with laws already passed by 272,000 positions. Oh, really? Making it the smallest it's been in more than 30 years. Oh, wow. Wow, so you're firing people. We cut taxes for 15 million working families with 40 million Americans in it. About an average of $1,000 apiece for families of four with incomes under $26,000 this year. There you go. That's good. Good.
We made nine of ten of our small businesses eligible for tax reductions. Respect. We invested in the tools our people need in education and training and technology. Yep. We did more to open markets in the last two years than in any previous period. in a generation okay the results are clear those those those the deficit that two years ago was projected to be over 400 billion dollars a year by the end of the decade is now under 200 billion
It's going down for three years in a row for the first time since Truman was president. The economic plan we have already passed will cut the deficit in half as a percentage of our economy. We have almost 6 million new jobs. The biggest year in economic growth in 1994 in a decade with 93 percent of those jobs in the private sector. That's the largest percentage of private sector. Who does he sound like to you? Who does he sound like to you?
When you're listening to it. Like Trump? Like a JFK? Like someone who has common sense? He should sue them for copyright. They stole this whole... But by the way, they loved him then, right? And his speaker of the house was who?
Newt Gingrich, which was a man of the year on the cover of Time Exit. But I want you to watch this other clip. I want to play this to see where the controversy is. Here's Barack Obama in 2008. Play this clip. Tell me who this sounds like. Go ahead. The Bush administration. has done nothing to control the problem that we have. We've had five million undocumented workers come over the borders since George Bush took over. It has become an extraordinary problem.
The reason the American people are concerned is because they are seeing their own economic position slip away. And oftentimes employers are exploiting these undocumented workers. They're not paying the minimum wage. They're not. observing worker safety laws. And so what we have to do is create a comprehensive solution to the problem. Now, I have already stated that as president... It's interesting. You hear him, you hear Clinton...
You hear them saying that, and that's what Doge, Trump, Musk, Homan are doing. What are you upset about? Brandon. Yeah, no, it's interesting, too. I mean, you see clips of Hillary. She literally sounds more conservative than Trump. So when she's debating Obama with this and all that. So this is an example of how far left the left has moved for people who say they used to be in the middle. They end up on the right now because, you know, things shift.
to that degree. And I think they're importing these people like this because they see that playing out. And, you know, interesting thing about Clinton during his presidency is the only year in the last 70 years where we had a surplus. I sent Rob a chart where there's this little blip on it. Every single year we're in a deficit. That one time when Clinton was president, it's the only time we had a surplus ever since, I think, like 1960, 1950.
I mean, I don't see a single negative thing you criticize about Doge. That's the chart, Brandon. Yeah, yeah. So look at that. That's what Clint was talking about. Look at that chart. Look at that beautiful chart. By the way, Rob, can you circle around what era he's talking about? It was the mid-90s. Look at that.
Yeah. Only time. Bill Clinton was the only president to balance the budget. We have no deficit under Clinton. Yeah, because he was hooking up with somebody other than Hillary in the White House. If you want to save trillions of dollars, I don't care who he hooks up with. So it's an easy joke. That's the whole thing with Clinton. Everyone thinks of Clinton as he's sort of like a laugh line. Oh, Clinton, he likes things under the desk.
Of the Oval Office. Listen, buddy. James Carvey, who we're talking about one time, he says, you know, what didn't you like about the 90s under Clinton? Did you not like the peace or the prosperity? Which one? Every country wants the same thing. Peace and prosperity.
We were doing great under Clinton. We've come a long way since Clinton. Now, as far as this whole situation with CPAC and Doge and everything like that, it was actually an awesome time. Thank you for the opportunity, Pat. I was sick. Here I'm holding the schedule of events. So Javier Millet speaks. Some guy named Patrick Beddavid gets up and speaks, you know, crushes it. Secretary, Doug, Doug, Doug, want to give my best friend a hug? Doug Burgum. Then...
Tom Homan comes out there, freaking rock star. That one was awesome. Could have been drunk. Don't care. Let's get stuff done. Georgia Maloney, she comes in from Italia. She zooms in. Elise Stefanik gets out there. She's crushing it.
She's kind of good looking, by the way. Anyway, then Donald Trump came out there and did a 90-minute, I don't know, I would call it a stand-up comedy act. You're stupid. You're gay. You're great. Everyone's awesome. Boom. We had an awesome time. And then we end up going to this doge party. And it's so funny.
Like, you know, I'm all about juxtaposition, like one thing's one thing. We walk in, and young Tico, God bless Tico, he's turned into such a stud. I didn't know about him when he was younger. He's getting there. We walk in, he goes, I just want to go to someplace quiet.
I don't want to be in for the party. You know if Dylan was there, he's like, where are the party at? You know that. So Tika walks in. I just want to go someplace quiet. We're looking for a little place to go. I'm like, I take him to like a little room. He's by himself. I'm like, he's like, I don't want to hear by myself. I'm like. You're at a party, dude. So we get in there. Five minutes later, there's protesters. He's up there. He's doing the Trump dance. But these guys, they don't have.
They have no semblance. So it's like the guy who got arrested is like, what are you in for, buddy? Spitting. Yeah, I spit a little bit on this podcast guy. They don't know what they're yelling about. They have no clue what they're talking about. And it's just, they're just raw emotion, piss and vinegar. They have zero facts. Everyone.
Should want to save money. Everyone would try to limit liabilities. Everyone should want to limit our expenditures. But they just hate Elon and they hate Trump. So whatever he does, Trump derangement syndrome. Did you see what Elon said about when he's sitting at a dinner party? And Trump comes up because people just, it's like, it's almost like they get a tranquilizer dart in your neck, bro. And they start convulsing and get rabies.
These people hate Trump so much, they'd rather the government suffer rather than have him succeed. But here's the thing, too, guys. I tried to put myself in, put yourself in their shoes, meaning the federal employees and then the leadership, okay? The employees. Can you imagine you're getting paid $100,000 a year and you don't do shit? You don't do nothing. Then all of a sudden.
A real boss comes in. He appoints Elon Musk, who is numbers guy, hires guys named big balls that are just in there looking for that shit. And you're about to lose your job. Of course, you're going to get furious. Of course, you're going to get mad. And then the leadership, the.
You know, Bernie Sanders' upper lip doesn't move. And all those guys, bro, they get all the kickbacks, all the money. So when you start taking the money, it's like in the movie Casino. When you start messing with the mafia's...
money and their take what he goes you mean they're skimming off the top what do you mean go there and they kill everybody they're furious that the money's losing joe pesci yeah exactly but we're winning and guys and i said this before it's gonna hurt this winning is going to But who gives a shit? We have to have it. The paid agitators take is really interesting. And, you know, I wouldn't have considered it, but it actually does make a lot of sense because we've come.
So far, since the work mind virus was cranked up to the most absurd extent possible, we're course correcting on a lot of things. The fact that people are still upset about some things that should just be so blatantly obvious, it could only... make sense if there were funding behind the scenes or paid agitators to keep everybody inflamed because at this point it just doesn't make sense why people would be so pissed off about this stuff especially the thing about report
on what you're doing for your job. That's something that every single industry... should incorporate into their business structure to some extent i know that's something that i need to do every single week i need to report on what i do if government workers who are making as vinnie said potentially six-figure incomes or have other interests that are paying them can't even
like five things that they could do. Yeah, no, kick him out, kick him all out. Well, watch this here. So while we're going through this, these guys are saying, send us an email of what you did last week. We want to know, right? Send us an email. So Elon Musk says,
Bar is very low after ordering federal employees to fill out productivity reports or resign. Basic question he's asking, right? Musk says federal workers must detail what they've done or risk losing their jobs. This is a Wall Street Journal story.
Overseeing the Department of Doge under Trump announced that all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week and warned that failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. The Office of Personal Management, OPM. Confirmed employees must submit five bullets of what you accomplished last week by Monday night. Though some agencies, including the FBI under Director Cash Patel, have instructed employees to pause.
Any responses while reviewing the directive? The order has triggered confusion and legal scrutiny across federal agencies with officials at the Department of Justice and Health and Human Services. Employees not to respond. Sean Kevney. Acting General House at HHS called the demand personally insulting after working over 70 hours advancing administration priorities. Everett Kelly, president of American federal government employees, warned that the union will challenge any lawful terminations.
of our members and federal employees across The country. Rob, do you have a clip on this? Because it shows yellow as if there's a clip on it. I do. I have a clip from Elon Musk. This is back in January where he talks about the actual shrinking, the size of the government, and how that's going to benefit the economy. So then what I'm going to go to is I'm going to go to the other story.
And then I want you to play the clip. The new Small Business Administration goes viral after she tours empty cubes. If you have this. So this is. the SBA chief Kelly Loeffler posted a video from her second day on the job, touring empty offices and stating about 90% of our employees are working from home. Well, that ends Monday with President Trump's order. to return to work watch this clip here go for it
Hi everyone, Kelly Loeffler. It's my second day here at the SBA. I could not be more excited to be here, so I thought I'd take a walk. And what I found is that exactly what's been said is true. About 90% of our employees are working from home. Well, that ends Monday with President Trump's order to return to work. It's a tremendous waste of taxpayer dollars to be paying for people and offices that are not showing up for work. So what we're going to do Monday morning, be back in the office.
Just like our small businesses that we serve every single day that work for us seven days a week, we're going to be here working for them. And question, why are they not working from the office? Because we're still from COVID time. There's another coronavirus coming. Monkeypox, what's going on here? This is absurd.
It's absolutely absurd. Taking advantage of the system. That's exactly what the hell they're doing. That time is over, bro. By the way, Sheena made a great point. The building, the lease, the rent, the air conditioning, the light. Come to work, you lazy... And by the way, those people that are mad that... Wait, I gotta make a list of what I do a week? Yeah, that was a test. Now we know exactly it's you. You're the ones that aren't doing shit. The ones that are doing their job? Quick!
Pat, right now, you said, Vinny, give me a list of what you're doing today. Okay, short, writing, sketch, podcast. If I went like this, Pat, what do you mean? You don't trust me? That's the guy that you have to worry about because you know he ain't doing shit. That's the guy.
That's what he's doing. One of the guys ran up to me. Remember the guy with the mask on and the glasses? You guys recorded him. I don't know who recorded him. Somebody got his clip. He says, you know I just lost my government job?
I'm trying to talk to these guys. You cannot talk to these guys. No, hell no. They're belligerent. But the reality of it is you got 2 million employees of which only 6% work at the office. What company is going to be okay with that? By the way, there's another report that came in.
that they're going to Pentagon, right? I saw a number here, Rob. I don't know what page it's on. It's one of the stories here. Yeah, it's right below that. The Pentagon expects to fire up to 8% of its civilian workforce. 8%. By the way, of course. What are you going to do? So go back to that story, Rob, that you had.
So Pentagon expects to fire up to 8% of its civilian workforce. 5,400 probation employees face dismissal starting next week. Hexad champions Trump's campaign to slash federal workers ranks. Of course. What do you mean you're not coming to work?
Since when has this been okay? And now you expect for people to sit around and say this is fine? Go ahead, Brandon. Well, yeah. So there's two – the two laziest workers in the country I think are union workers and government workers. And then now you have union workers and government workers combined. So of all the states in the country, the two biggest populations of federal workers per capita, Maryland, Virginia.
What do they have in common? The biggest wealth gap in the entire country is in Washington, D.C. So you have the most crime, the highest poverty rate, but also the highest income per capita amongst the top people. So this is an example of the market not deciding. the value of people. This is the federal government deciding the value of people.
Pouring money into these jobs, it's not the market choosing these things. It's the government choosing them. So that's a byproduct of that. It's like a totally unnatural thing. D.C. is run differently than any other place in the country. It's a disaster. Amy.
Yeah, I think it's absolutely insane for any industry to practice this as a normalized standard. I mean, don't get me wrong, there are online opportunities out there where you can make money without a salary, without somebody paying you week by week.
and you can make money based off your own efforts. If people want to complain about having to show up to do work in their workspace, then maybe find one of those online opportunities where you can get paid based on the value that you're bringing to the marketplace. Then maybe you'll have a flyer lit on.
to your ass to actually go to work but being someone who this is actually you may not know this part this is my first job that i've ever had where i actually need to show up and be somewhere um i've been involved in various different sales opportunities various different investing things And one thing that I can say is I've always been a high achiever. But when I looked at my peers, it was insane. The amount of burnout rate and turnover rate.
People just wouldn't make it because they couldn't show up and put in the work. The fact of the matter is, for most people, they need somebody. They need some accountability in order to show up and in order to get their job done. And especially when it comes to. one of the biggest, the biggest...
industries, agencies, and the entire company, the federal government. Like, yes, we want some oversight. We want to know that these people are showing up, serving the people, and getting their job done. Good for you. And by the way, watch this here, folks. This credit to this chart goes by Tom, okay, if he's watching this, which I'm sure he's watching this. What's up, Tom? Hi, Tommy. So this is a search in D.C. on what terms just in D.C. that have increased since January 29.
Look at that. Defense lawyer skyrocketed. Why? Why? So watch some of the data that Tom's shown. This is one. The other one is the number of homes that are for sale in D.C. That's a complete different chart. Ever since they realized these guys are coming and people are getting fired, the number of homes for sale in D.C. has skyrocketed. Decision makers are here. Folks in D.C. are making decisions, realizing they may be losing their jobs. They may have to go to a different place.
And the numbers are reflecting that. Adam. Yeah, I mean, we're acting like this is some sort of monumental, colossal request to report what you've done. You know who does this? I do this every single week with my assistant. So you know the company that I run, Welcome Funds? Alex, every week, Mondays and Fridays, I say, what are you doing this week? She knows every Monday.
I report what's on your agenda this week. And then on Friday, we go over the list and see what got done. And she does it every week because that's part of her job. Imagine if she's like, well, why do you want to know what I'm doing? Because I'm paying you. Well, what does that matter?
Because that's your job. Never once would she request like this. So anyone who pushes back and it's like, what? Why would you want to even know what I'm doing? It's common sense. They're guilty of something. We don't have to show it, but I send it to Rob. 2,446 homes went for sale in Washington, D.C. on Zillow on just when Trump and DogeKat. That's the that's the charge. Everybody. And they're like 800,000, 400,000 million dollar houses. Everybody's like, bye bye. Now we got to go.
might be a good opportunity for you to buy a house, finally. It's going to crash their economy, by the way. It's going to crash Virginia's economy, by the way, because those are the Beltway bandits. All that NGO DC money that gets pumped into that. Let's see if they can make it a free enterprise. Let's see if they can make it a free market.
if you can make it in a free market. It's not an easy thing to do. If you could pull it off, respect you. If you don't, we found out maybe you're not really a net positive to society. That's right. The market will pay you.
Whatever value you bring. If you don't have it, it is so brutally honest. It sucks. That's how bad the market is. It has no sympathy for you. Let's find out who you guys are. Maybe you're better than what DC was paying you. And we'll filter those guys out. By the way, while this is taking place. The old Dems are afraid of some of the new faces of Dems. Here's Stephen A. Smith and James Carville. James Carville is tired of what Stephen A. Smith has been saying.
And he flat out calls him out. Play that clip, Rob, if you could, with James Carville, and then watch this one here. So Stephen A's been very vocal. Calling out Kamala. Calling out everybody. Calling out everyone on the left. And James here, he's having a sip of milk or something called beer. And go ahead, Rob. Play the clip. Get your warm glasses. Shut the hell up. He don't know his ass. No, go back a little bit. That was Adam.
Go ahead. When it comes to politics, he don't know his ass from a hole in the ground. He's running his goddamn mouth about how he may have to run as a Democrat. Because there's nothing left of the Democratic Party. There's no talent. Stephen, are you shitting me? I mean, you say you're friends with Wes Moore and you say you're friends with Josh Shapiro. I'm friends with both of them. I think they're.
really extraordinary, talented people. I got news for you, dude. That's six or seven other people in the Democratic Party that are just that talented. So before you...
Start running your fucking mouth off about politics, a topic of what you really don't know anything about. You ought to sit back and think about it and call some people and run it by it. But don't let your... political stupidity standing the way of your outspoken and I think often insightful views when it comes to American sports, of which I think you are an expert at.
Pause it right there. Now go to Stephen A. and his response. How condescending. Yeah. Let Stephen A. go for it. Rob, how long is it? I cut out all the fat. This gets right to the portion. Okay, go for it. You know, dropping F-bombs and going all, you know, going off like that. I mean, I know that's your nature. I understand that. But let's just say two can do that, you know.
I mean, if you really wanted to get raw, ain't nobody hiding from that. I could be that way. It's just that my mama taught me to respect my elders. And you are 80 years of age if I remember correctly. And I'm trying to be respectful, so I'm not going to come at you the way that you came at me. I thought that was completely unnecessary. That's number one. Number two, I religiously say I'm no political aficionado.
I religiously say I don't know politics like that. I read. I watch the news. I'm a conscientious observer. But I do have to ask you a question, Mr. James Carville, albeit rhetorically. You do know that you're talking to a voter, right? Could that be one of the reasons why y'all lost? Just a thought. Because you sound like one of those old curmudgeons that want things to stay or be the way that they used to be. And you're resentful.
harboring an abundance of animosity because you're not being heard. That's not Stephen A. Smith's fault, sir. That's that damn Democratic Party that I was talking about. So now, Stephen A., how far are you going to go with this? You see...
They shouldn't listen to me. Do you realize, James Carville, that that means they shouldn't have listened to you either? Which makes no sense because we were both right. Because guess what? What I was saying is what you were saying. I saw you on Fox News. I saw you on CNN. I saw you on your... podcast before the election where the hell you think i got some of the stuff from when you were talking about the democratic party i'm making that up you can pause i'm making all right so
Stephen A., they don't like you. It's that simple, bro. They don't like you. The same way they don't like RFK, who's down Trump's administration. The same way they didn't like Tulsi. The same way they don't like Rogan. The same way they don't like Musk. The same way they don't like any of us. Because either you get in line. Or shut the hell up is what he's saying. I wouldn't say that to you. That's what he's saying. And that's not in your nature. But if you're going to shine in that party.
You have to lock it up and listen to what they got to tell you. And it's not in your DNA. It's just not. That's not in your DNA. So what are you going to do? Create a new community that's been tried. Don't like your type. So you have a couple choices. One, try to fight it and see what they do. You ain't going to get their money.
You're not. You need the money. You're not gonna get their money. You don't have that kind of money. You need billions. You need a billion and a half. They're not gonna give you the money. None of those guys are gonna support you financially. They're not. Because the candidates on the left are usually bought by someone with favors. Yesterday I had Nicolas Ferreira here from Brazil. And he's talking about how this guy named Casab, Gilberto Casab, who is the leader of the worker party in...
uh brazil who used to be the mayor of sao paulo who is the most powerful man in brazil right now because he is the leader of the political party that's on the center and the center means that you give them money and favors they'll do anything you want them to do but
They have a lot of control. Right now, they have a lot of control. He says, my worry is the closer he gets to Bolsonaro, he's going to ask for a favor. I wonder how big that favor is and how dirty that favor is that it contradicts our values and principles. Are you going to do that? I don't know if you will.
So you know what's going to happen to you? You're eventually, when you're in your room, in your house, by yourself, nobody else around you, you're eventually going to be talking to your mom because I know how much she means to you. And I'm in a conversation saying, what do I do, mom?
Do I sit this one out? Do I trust my gut and go? What do I do? If you came as a center-right candidate, which I think where you are, you know you are. You're not going to say it publicly, but you know what I'm saying? You're like a center-right guy, dude. You know what I'm saying? If you came out as a center-right guy, I think it would be interesting to see you run in 2028 and see what happens. So I think if you run on the left, they will destroy you because they do not like your type.
They like Biden type. They like the yes man. You ain't that guy. So what are you going to do? You're going to keep playing this? You're working your way into being a conservative here very soon because you're shown a lot of conservative tendencies. You are. But I know the fear of what could happen if you do something like that. Anyways, that's my thoughts on this. James Carville going after...
So it's kind of like when a young guy, because Stephen A is young in politics and Jim's 80 years old. It's when a young guy comes up in business and I was coming up and I would start getting vocal and all this stuff. And I never forget when I wrote a. You ever hear me talk about when I wrote my Jerry Maguire 16 page, you know, 16 points, whatever. One of my old friends, I've been trying to look for this proposal that I wrote.
For 15 years. Remember me, you, and Jen were walking, and I think you found it. I told you the story. It was amazing. That's right. I told you. You found it. Dude, last week, an old friend, whom name I will keep to myself, but you all know who he is. Send me this letter that I wrote to him. That's it? Look, this is the letter I sent him March 15th, right? But he added the proposal. This is the entire proposal I wrote. Okay, as a young buck coming up.
Do you know what happened when I wrote this and all the points and ideas? Everybody, who do you think you are? Some lady named Susan. All these people losing their minds. I said, okay.
This is what you want. I never, I never wanted to leave. I never wanted to leave. Never. I love the company. I love the people. That's the same exact thing Stephen A is going. He eventually is going to be forced to leave that party. They don't know how to control him. They can't stand him. They can't stand people like him. Cannot stand people like Stephen A. People like Stephen A in the Democratic Party are hated. They're not welcome. Period. Full stop.
What are you going to do? And here's my question. Why would he, for instance, let's say down the road, Stephen A., who I admire the guy. I think he's one of the most important and dopest sports analysts. And now that he's shifting politics, it's fantastic. But like what? What would make you even at this point, like go to the Democratic Party to save it for what? Meaning, Adam, their core, their base is what? What do you as a Democratic Party, what are you offering? Race baiting, divisive.
open border, giving money to everybody. There was no way that he would. If he would, and to try to come in and change the party, you nailed it. There's no way that they would do it. And Carville, can you imagine? This is the beauty about being Democrat on Democrat. Hate. A white guy sitting there with a beer, drunk, shit, stupid, cussing all that.
And nobody called him a racist. If that was a Republican sitting there talking to a black man like that, it would have been headlines. Over here, it's cool because it's James Carlton. He votes Democrat. But I think Stephen A, if he ran, how about this?
He would be a breath of fresh air in any political. That's the guy that you would want because you know his heart is in a good place. You know his mother raised him right who said that she would actually vote for Trump if she was here. But that party, bro.
That party, I believe, my opinion, is done for a very long time, especially with what's happening right now. They're cooked. Yeah, I think he could really re-energize the base. That could be incredible. But to Vinny's point, I definitely don't think that's going to happen. It's reminiscent of like...
they're saying oh we need a joe rogan of the left it's like you had a joe rogan of the left his name was joe rogan and you ruined that you alienated him just like they're doing to all of these other people like the saying the left eats themselves is so, so apparent right now.
It's bizarre that you hear constant reports of them saying like internally, like we're in full-blown panic mode. The Democratic Party is a disaster right now. We don't know what to do. We don't know what the next move is. And then they're spitting in the face of somebody who's super charismatic, one of the best spoken people in the world that wants to be on their side.
everything possible be on their side but then they go out and criticize them like this like you said like i think that looked racist too but they don't they never mentioned that of course but um yeah so like what extent are they willing to go to like they're like how do they expect to fix it if they only are willing to tolerate people who will just do whatever they say
They ruined Bernie Sanders, and he was going against Hillary Clinton. And I always say, if Tulsi or RFK ran against Trump, they definitely would have won. Do you guys disagree with that? If Tulsi ran as a Democrat or if RFK ran as a Democrat on the ticket against Trump, I think either of them would have beaten Trump. I don't know if anybody would have won in the party at this point. I think if it started earlier, before the Biden and all that nonsense.
If she ran, if Tulsi ran, she would give him a run for the money because... Trump wouldn't have been able to talk all the crap that he talked about all of them to her. Look at what Kamala is. They put enough money behind her that she could have won. But if they put that money, a billion dollars, behind Tulsi, soldier, American.
Let me ask you this. So who's more loyal to their party values? Are Democrats more loyal to Democrats or Republicans more loyal to Democrats? Democrats are Democrats. Okay, so why do you say that? Because no matter what, they are going down with the ship. Because their ideology... It's called vote blue no matter who. No matter who. Yeah, a great one. I mean, when we...
Take a look at what Obama was saying. It seems like the messaging has changed very much. So do you mean like historically or do you mean like right now? No, I'm saying today. Okay, today. Oh, Democrat for sure. Because watch this. Okay, so Republicans were known as the party of the war.
Right. Yeah. It was generally was a party. Guess what Trump's like? Nah. Right. We're not doing that. So who do you think you are? Rhinos and McCain's and everybody in the Bush's and the Romney's and they hate this guy. Right. No, I don't. I think we can be Republican and not be a party of war. You know, we're going to be at a party of this. No, I think this is how it's going to be.
Listen, if we are going to get some money out, I think we need to give a refund back to people because we effed up spending their money. So what has happened is Republicans are like, it's actually a better idea. Can you prove it? I'm open to it. Democrats are like, no, Stephen A., that may be a better idea, but you have to listen to us because we know. And you can't break through in that party. You cannot break through.
in that party. They're not letting that happen. The Republicans had a massive breakthrough because they had a guy with a big backbone that stood up against them. And what he had, he had money. He had fame. He had money. He had StreetSmart. He came up in a city filled with gangsters, tough guys, some criminals, guys in real estate that you have to do business with that they're going to try to bully you, put you in your place, and he made it. That develops thick skin.
So he has additional resources that Stephen A. has the platform. He's got it. He talks, people will talk about it. He doesn't have the resources, the levels that you need to tell the other side, F off, I can do it on my own. He doesn't have that kind of money.
Someone has to back him up. Who knows? But I think the other side will gladly welcome him. And if he came in, you know what would happen? He would still be able to disagree. Meaning he would still say, I don't know if I agree with the president on this. I don't know if I, fool, no problem.
But he would still be welcomed. Rogan doesn't agree with everything. Musk doesn't agree. These guys don't. Bobby Kennedy definitely doesn't agree with everything with Trump. Tulsi doesn't agree with everything with Trump. But guess what? Come on down. As long as we're here together, we can make this work. We don't have to agree on 100%. The left is. You have to agree with us on 100%. You can't have people like that. No. You cannot have people like Stephen A shine.
On that side, Adam, and then we'll go to the next story. I don't see Stephen A. becoming a Republican. I do see him being an independent. I do think he's shared with us his mother was more conservative. I know you're saying you can see him being center right. I see him being center. And I think the Democrats.
need more people like Stephen A to bring them back to the center. Like if you're a Democrat, you're the Democratic Party right now, you guys need to take a long look in the mirror and be like, who in the hell are we? We are the party of birthing people, not mothers anymore. What the hell? So you talked about it's so hard to break through. It's so hard to break through. Well, Bernie almost did it. And they're like, nah, Bernie. Get in line, buddy. Trump almost didn't do it, but he broke through.
Now, I remember in 2016, I remember with the whole conversation of the establishment versus the anti-establishment and MAGA versus the RINOs. They were basically saying, if you recall, this is the end of the Republican Party. They're done. If you elect Trump, even if he wins or doesn't win, they are finished. It's so funny. Ten years later, Republican Party, as strong as they've ever been, and the Democratic Party is in shambles. So I hope.
Stephen A. Smith gets his seat at the table. I hope he has such a powerful voice. But you want to lose someone like that? You want to lose a Rogan? You want to lose an Adam Sothik? That's crazy. Sorry, guys. Just saying. Relax. So let me go through a couple of these stories here. Check this one out. Representative Ilhan Omar. The dumbing of the American people has arrived. How else do you get Trump again? Watch this clip and tell me how you feel. Meaning, literally.
How do you feel listening to her? Go ahead, Rob. These people are just idiots. I really, you know, I'm at the point. where it's become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day is frankly embarrassing, not just in Congress, but as...
Americans and the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived because how else do we get Trump presidency again? Okay. This is failure to launch, failure to connect. This is her basket of deplorables moment. What she doesn't get...
Well, she thinks that she's representative of what the Americans should be. She's representative of progressive values. She's representative of how we should all be inclusive and DEI and Somalian pirates should be running around everywhere in America. No. The American people gave a mandate to Trump. How many swing states did Trump lose? Zero. And Trump, did he win or lose the popular vote? One. He won the popular vote. That never happens. So what, again.
They need to take a long look in the mirror and be like, this is the lady we want representing us? First of all, she literally, and it takes a lot, she gets me sick. To my stomach. Okay, she hates America. She's called, she has done this, for the complete and total dismantling of police forces in the United States. She's ungrateful. She's an entitled Marxist. Okay, and she sympathized with the 9-11 hijackers. Do you guys remember when 9-11...
happened she said the quote some people did something she didn't call them extremists she didn't call them terrorists 3 000 americans were murdered and that's how she chose to describe it okay just some people chose to do something and she was kind of bragging that in college she took a
A terrorist class? And she goes, and the professor, when he'd say Al-Qaeda and Hamas, and she was proud about it, okay? And she's sitting in Congress because the system she... constantly trashes okay she came here as a refugee she was given the opportunities that most people on earth could only dream of and instead of gratitude she spits on americans every single chance she gets okay she called us idiots and all that
Crap, which drives me crazy. She's ungrateful, un-American. And lastly, let's not forget, she allegedly, and Tucker, everybody's reported on it, she married Ahmed Nursaid Elmi, her full brother. Married him in 2009. What do you mean, brother? Wait, what? Listen, guys, look it up. Snope it. She married him, and I said allegedly, but everybody's reported on it. Married him in 2009.
No, no. Like a brother? No, no. Let's see this one here. Unfounded. Yeah, unfounded. Meaning they don't want you to find it. Oh, little Lord. 2016, when it looked like Longmore's got a chance of becoming the first Somalian. Minnesota State represented rumors swirl that she had married her brother in an illegal effort to facilitate his obtaining U.S. citizenship. Omar did win a seat.
And after two years later was elected, da-da-da-da-da. Okay, go for it. So this, again, allegedly this is... But who did she marry? I mean, this is not... His name is Ahmed Northside Elmi. Sounds like a great name. So ready for this? Married him in 2009. Divorced him in 2017.
married him to break U.S. immigration law and defraud the U.S. Okay, if this is true, Tom Holman, if you're listening to this podcast, investigate and I hope they both lose their citizenship and you deport both of them because if that's a fact. And then look who she's sitting with. Mehdi Hassan, another anti-American loser who tweeted, you showed it last time, make American planes crash again.
Okay? There's no way he said that. Did he really? Show the tweet if you can, Rob. That's it. And then you know what he said? That's what this guy says. That's what he said? This was a week ago, by the way. This is a week ago. And you know what he said? This guy. You know what he tries to do, Adam? He's like, you guys. Rooting for America's planes to crash. You know what he says? And who employs this guy at this point? What do you mean? Because he was on MSNBC. He got fired. But who is he on now?
I think it's independent. It's independent. And you know what that means? Two people that hate America that are sitting in there. And then he tried to blame. Guess what? You guys are racist and you're Islamophobic because of that shit that they're saying. These are the people. This is the problem.
the Democratic Party. These are who you guys have and that's your voice. This is not even representative of Democrats. No, these are Democrats and these are the people that... No, this guy is a... Manny is now with the Guardian since the last 12 months. Brandon, any thoughts on this?
Yeah, no, it's just I have no patience for people who clearly hate America. I mean, there's two types of immigrants who come here. The ones that are deeply thankful for it and love it here and the ones that have some weird resentment for it and want to see it burned and destroyed. What percentage of Americans? to what she says and say I agree with her Rob can you go to the clip is there a clip of her tweeting it because I would like to see if she retweeted that to see
What her audience that agrees with her says. Just go to her Twitter account. Not to Libs of TikTok because they're going to agree with Libs of TikTok. Go to her Twitter account and go a little lower. See if she retweeted that. Go lower. No, majority Americans are smart. Now you're changing your script. Go a little lower. Did she retweet her clip? I don't think she would ever retweet something like that. Go to Mehdi Hassan. See if Mehdi Hassan retweeted that clip. I just want to know.
What argument people make who agree with the sentiment that both he and her have. Go a little lower. He didn't retweet that video. I don't know why he wouldn't retweet. Absolutely not. Oh, there's no way. No, he didn't read. Okay, so then maybe go under the clip of anybody that posted that clip, and let's see what the audience is saying. I actually want to know anybody that agrees.
Okay, go to that one. There's a few other comments. Go lower, zoom in a little bit so we can see the comments. Okay, Elan wants you to remember as she thinks all Americans are idiots. Okay, whatever, go next.
This ungrateful, go next. Did she forget, go next. A sitting member of Congress, unfortunate that, go next, she banks her brother. Okay, she worried about Congress. She banks her brother for papers. Since eradicating Islamophobia, his criticism like Islam has never ever experienced it. Okay.
She's worried about, no, let me go. She's worried about common sense eradicating Islamophobia. And yes, criticism like Islam has never experienced. Okay, so that's not positive. Go lower. Trying to see who would agree with what she's saying. The would-be jihadists, deportists.
So two terrorist sympathizers, this criminally incestuous, obnoxious, dimwit. Okay, these two would not have fared well on the Oregon Trail. Deport, go lower, Rob. Did the beepers go? Wow. So, I mean, the point here is I'm trying. trying to see who agrees with what she has to say. Well, this is where the irony comes in, right? Because she's saying that...
everyone on the right is essentially dumb, but the only people who agree with her argument are people who aren't based in logic at all. They're only people who they've been able to inflame emotionally. Like it's insane that they're calling outside dumb when that's the side that literally.
you to not even believe your eyes for like the last four years you know that that men it's fair for men to compete in women's sports that immigrants aren't causing any harm meanwhile all these stories are continuously popping up about women who are having their lives in these situations, you know, that we can actually refer to people as Zimzer and have it be totally normal that they can have a mandate on language. Like, how are we the side that is dumbed down?
It's the iron law of work projection. Anything that they accuse you of is actually a confession. That's what we're seeing. Well, they're trying to demoralize society. I just sent Rob a chart that shows pride in America by generation. And it's I think we could turn this around, but it's unfortunate to see that, like, by generation, there's less and less people that are proud to be American, which I mean, I think that's a lot of that comes from.
entertainment and education, which, I mean, a lot of this money that we're seeing being uncovered now gets pumped into that stuff. So there is this active agenda to try to make people ashamed to be American or make people think that we did something wrong here. So this is what, 18 to 34 is blue. 35 to 54 is black. 55 older is gray. Extremely proud to be American are the 55 and older. Lowest is the generation. Very proud goes to 35, 54. Moderately, boom.
Not proud at all is all the youngins, 18 to 35. Only a little bit proud, the youngins. Moderately proud, the youngins. I mean... The pride of not being proud of your country and seeing how it reflects with the youth, this is all you get to blame. You get to blame academia. I want to go to the next story here. You get to blame academia. By the way, next story here. Joy Reid gets fired.
And she has a very emotional story about her getting fired. And this one is an interesting one, Rob. But let me just first read this story here. MSNBC cancels Joy Reid. Lefty. uh show as network makes major shake-up this is a new york post story readout as a part of a major shake-up by new network uh president rebecca cutler according to new york times by the way can you pull up who rebecca cutler is i'm curious to know what her background is
Reid, a longtime Trump critic, has hosted the slot since 2020 after previously anchoring AM Joy on weekends. MSNBC declined to comment on the cancellation, but a source confirmed the final episode will air this week. The time slot will be taking over. by a new panel show featuring Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, and Simone Sanders Townsend, a former spokesperson, vice president, Kamala Harris. Reid's ratings have plummeted by nearly 50%.
Since former President Donald Trump's election victory and Nielsen's media research... reporting that MSMZ's primetime audience dropped 53% since November 5th. Reid had recently gone viral for controversial remarks, including telling Trump voters to make your own dinner at Thanksgiving, and that should... suffer the consequences of your votes can you play the clip of her reacting and we'll come back and see who she is no fair my body my choice well here's an alternative thought
Make your own dinner, MAGA. Make your own sandwiches. Wipe your own tears. Troll amongst yourselves with Elon and leave us alone. You got your heart's desire, the president you dreamed of and worship instead of Jesus. And this time, you didn't even have to storm the Capitol, smash the windows, or try to kill police officers or issue death threats to poll workers. See? You did it just by voting this time. Congrats. You got your way. And he even got away with breaking the law. Yay!
My show had value and that... I'm sorry. That what I was doing... And value. And value. And in the end, I'm sorry, I try not to cry on TV. And this is kind of like being on TV, so I apologize. And that it kind of, and that it mattered. I see Karen is there and she's been texting me as well. And so what I will just say is that in the end, thank you.
Rob, can you go back? Because Rachel Maddow responded and saying MSNBC made a massive mistake, etc. Go to the new president. I want to know who that is. Go to the new president. There's an article. I just saw something right there. Ruthless something. What's that Daily Mail article? Yeah, click on that. The ruthless new MSNBC boss who gutted Joey Regis 10 days after taking the job. Okay.
So she called the shot. Rebecca Cutler has officially named, Rob, go a little or I can't read it. So Amazon announced Cutler, 45 years old, was officially promoted on Wednesday, February 20th. Mark Lazarus, who's the head of Comcast spinoff company, told. Staff in a memo earlier go lower. In a short time, Rebecca was the interim president. It would be clear to me that she has big picture strategic view on the right leadership skills to ensure.
MSNBC. Since taking charge, Cutler has successfully stabilized the network's ratings following a major post-election decline. The recovery has been largely attributed to the network star anchor Rachel Maddow making regular primetime appearances during Trump's first 100 days. Most recently, as President Cutler canceled Joey Reed. Also this week, network axed another three of its stars showing. After Nixon reads program, who are the other three stars? Go a little lower to see who they have.
Katie Fang, Jonathan Capehart, and Ayman Mohledin. I don't know if these guys have also been booted. Can you see who that is so we know who Jonathan Capehart is? Because apparently he knows. He's a nice young black man who's not young at all. He was the one that cries all the time. Okay, got it. Go back to the story. Let me see the story.
So over the last two years, I've had the privilege, go a little lower, go a little lower, go a little lower. Okay, so go to our LinkedIn if you could. Let's go to our LinkedIn to see what our past is, to see if there's actual changes taking place. And right there, LinkedIn. So let's see what her past is with MSNBC, CNN. Oh, there you go. It's the same shit. There you go. Okay, go a little lower. Executive producer, CNN. CNN, what school? Columbia. Forget about it. It's the same thing.
There's nothing that's changing here. And apparently Rachel Maddow was responding. Rob, if you got the Rachel Maddow clip, trying to defend because she is not happy about what they did. And she called out MSNBC. Go ahead. all the other nights except for Mondays. So that's a big change. An even bigger programming change is at 7 p.m. Eastern, where Joy Reid's show, The Readout, ended tonight.
And Joy is not taking a different job in the network. She is leaving the network altogether. And that is very, very, very hard to take. What's this guy's name? I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. And I have had so many different kinds of jobs, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.
but in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid. I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC. And it's coming because after this panel, I'll just tell you, she says it was a bad mistake. Mind you.
You got a new boss that's making these decisions. You just got a $5 million pay cut. This year. And then she goes on. She says that, you know, and she did the race card. She goes that two non-white hosts are losing their jobs and is making it seem like she basically saying that NBC is freaking racist is what she's insinuating. And then she craps on the net.
network, and I wouldn't be surprised, mark my words, she's next. She's going to be next on the chopping block. And you would think, I think I tweeted this, Pat, a couple days ago when I was like... And they want to make this change, this shake-up. They want to do something new, something bold. Guess who they're replacing her with? Simone Sanders Townsend. Another race-baiting, anti-
You want to make a change? And you go from Joy Reid to her. I'm not making fun of her appearance, but she's exactly Joy Reid. And this is, again, when it comes to the left and the Democrats, guys, they can't. Change the tune. They won't.
Do it. Like, no matter what you're saying, I'm so happy you just did like a, you dissected where she's from. You think that girl's going to go all bold and bring somebody that actually has another opinion on the other side? No, bro. This is the ship. The ship is sinking and these people have no idea. what the hell they're doing and it's going down and they're not going to change. Period.
Well, it's nice to see that. So in contrast to the last election, I remember that like the CNN and MSNBC, their views skyrocketed after Trump won last time because people were watching them doing all the hate and the race baiting and all that. But it seems like a stark contrast this time. I mean, they lost.
a lot of legitimacy. Then there's alternative media outlets. So I'm glad to see that for one thing, that it's not a positive boost for the liberal side of the mainstream media. And then two, I'm surprised this happened to Jerry Reed before Maddox because Maddox makes like 25 million a year for one show.
3 million a year. So if this is about money, I don't know why they don't. Well, it's not about money. Tom, by the way, I love Tom. Even though he's sick, he's sending freaking charts and stats, Tom. I love you. Look at this. The readout television program on MSNBC since Monday, July 20, 2020. It's currently the seventh most popular show on MSNBC and 126 overall TV watched by a total number of 778,000 people, 0.25%, 25% ratings down, minus 16 from yesterday as a daily audience measurement.
from February 20th, 2025. Look at that. Look at that number. 7th most popular on MSNBC. Which means she's the 98th most popular person on TV. Look at those spikes. Those spikes, look at where those spikes come. The assassination attempt and then November. So the only time people are watching are when things dramatically happen. And you know what? That's why they're pushing this freaking rhetoric all the time because they're hoping.
They're banking for people to try to kill the president. They're hoping for collapse. They want the country to fail because it's freaking numbers for them. Shame on them. Well, I mean, there's a reason they didn't fire Rachel Maddow because she's actually the number one show on their channel. I mean, number one, she's probably be number 50 compared to the shows that are going on with Fox, even some of the stuff. Maybe CNN, I don't know.
The point is, you know, Pat does his big event he does in Vegas every year for his other company, PHP. And there's a phrase that they do. It's called butts in seats. And then you have a whole competition. How many people are you bringing? How many butts in seats? How many are you bringing? Who's bringing? I'm going to bring 100. I'm going to bring 200. All right. I'm going to bring 300. Bro, you brought four. You said you were going to bring 300. You brought four.
Meanwhile, you got Matt Sopal over here bringing 500,000 people. You brought four, buddy. You're fired. So here's this lady. She's ranting. She's raving. She's doing this. She's doing that. Nobody's watching you, lady. Sorry. That's why she's gone. This guy right here, Rick Maddow, what's his name? Rachel Maddow? She has at least a little bit of pull. She has at least a little bit of leverage because she actually puts butts in seats. And that's how that works.
I can't think of anyone, you help me out here, I can't think of anybody that got fired that didn't draw an audience other than maybe Tucker Carlson. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. How much dirt do you think Rachel Maddow has on MSNBC? I think a lot because she wouldn't say that. She wouldn't ever talk like that. The reason why you can talk like that is because she probably holds them hostage. So maybe she's got something that they fear.
that if they fire her, and maybe to give her one day a week for how much money? 25 mil. Can you pull this up to just verify how much Rachel Maddow makes per year? I think it's down to 15. No, I thought it started at 30 and went to 25. I think it's 25 to 15. Pull up what she gets paid.
There it is, $30 million a year. Rachel Maddow is MSNBC's host, $30 million a year, and she got a $5 million reduction to $25 million a year just once a week. There is no way anybody deserves that kind of pay on MSNBC. without something behind closed doors that we don't know about. For the new president to get promoted 12 days ago, and they make a big call out firing Joy Reid, and you don't defend the new president.
and you defend the talent, which means you're not defending a company that's paying your payday, that means you're holding them hostage on something that, you know, maybe she knows where the bodies are buried, and she pretty much got everything she wanted. And in that contract, in return for $25 a year, for once a week she wrote a probably an agreement to say i will never disclose anything whatever whatever whatever this is the vibe it gives me because
Capitalism doesn't work if a person's down. You're paying this person $25 million in New York, okay? Rob, can you pull up and see the biggest sponsors on Rachel Maddow's shows? Who are the top five biggest sponsors? on Rachel Maddow's show. I'm actually curious to do business research now. Can we just see top sponsors on Rachel Maddow's show? Folks, it's not hard to think about how business works. If you paid me $25 million a year.
But in sponsorship, the show only gets $20 million a year. Would you pay me $25 million? Why would you do that? And not only that, for once a week. So imagine how much. Okay, Rob, do me a favor. Go type in. Rate card for Rachel Maddow's sheets to do commercials on. Rate card for Rachel Maddow's...
you know, rate card for doing ads. Or CPM. She gets 2 million views per show, by the way. It's okay, totally fine, but it's once a week. So let's go to what the advertising rate card is. Can you pull up how much it is for me to do? goes specifically to Rachel Maddow
Go lower. Okay, now I got to find out here. What is it cost? Can you guys, each of you guys, see if you can find something? Everybody do their own kind of research. See what you can find. You're going to chat, GBT? I want to know, what does it cost to do a 30-second commercial on Rachel Maddow's show?
How much does that spot cost? Is it 10 grand? Is it 50 grand? Is it 100 grand? Let's do the math backwards. How much does it cost? According to, okay, 30 seconds of approximately $4,500. Okay, so in 2017. It was $4,500. And how many viewers was she getting back then? What was her viewership back then? Okay, let's say it's $10,000 today for 30 seconds. Let's just do that.
How long is Rachel Maddow's show once a week? How long is the show once a week? One hour. One hour? Okay. So in a one hour show, it's normally how many minutes of at? In a one hour, in a one hour show. Is this chick really getting paid $25 million for one week? How many minutes is ads in a one-hour show? Is it 24 minutes, 14 to 18 minutes? Let's go to 18 minutes is ads, okay? Let's do the math. So let's say...
Let's say 15 minutes. 15 minutes times 20, which is because it's 10,000 per 30-second commercial, so it's 20,000 for a minute. That's 300,000. 300,000. Per show. She does four shows a month. That's $1.2 million. $1.2 million times 12 months in a year. That's $14.5 million. Say it's $15 million. You mean to tell me I'm collecting $15 million in sponsorship and paying you $25 million?
And that doesn't include the producer, the executive producer, the cameras, the network, the ads, all the networking. So you really think that's going on? I think something's going on in there. The math doesn't make any sense. What are we talking about here? 10 grand a commercial for a 30-second slot. times 15 minutes, times 52 episodes per year. That doesn't make any sense. MSNBC, in my opinion, is held hostage by Rachel Maddow because they fear she has something.
on them and they they got a they gave a godfather contract for somebody that needs to be replaced And MSM East is about to be dying. By the way, I'm giving you this based on my opinion. I don't have any insider information, purely an opinion. But it sounds like... Rob, can you check if she genuinely just does a show once a week? It's once a week. Yeah, test it right here.
Here's the math. 60 minutes, yeah, once a week. And this is the math. If she gets $25 million a year for one hour a week, that means she makes $480,000 every hour for one hour. That's 2008, Rob. Down here it says the episode dates, but it's looking like she's doing every night. So maybe it's a one-hour show. She was doing a one-hour show every night for many, many years, and then she took a...
Hiatus, I think. So I don't know this whole one week. Go to the contract. Is it once a week? Does Rachel Maddow only... Well, regardless, it's five hours a week. Can we establish that? In fact, they want to listen to her. Oh, my God. No, no wonder why. It was once a week. Now it's.
For no longer stretches, it's typically not once a week, but rather for longer stretches, like a few days a week. So she's coming in when she does take a break. Okay, because if it's five days a week and it's two million views per, Then economically, it makes sense. If it's not five days a week, it's once a week. The math doesn't make any sense. The sponsorship money doesn't add up. She does it every day. Two million. You're saying, Rob, that's how many.
Eyeball she gets? Yes. I could say it makes sense. How old is she, by the way? Can you type up how old Rachel Maddow is? Probably 50. 51. Who's the highest paid person on TV? Who's the highest paid person on TV? Anchor on TV. Type an anchor on TV. Who's the highest paid? Sean Hannity at $40 million a year. Wow. What a guy, Sean Hannity.
And do they have the top five to see where everybody is? So Rachel's second, 30. And who's next after Rachel? Cooper, 20 to 25. Stepanopoulos, 10 to 18. Robin, 10 to 18. Gayle King, 10 to 18. Savannah, Guthrie, 10 to 18. Interesting. Pretty wide range right here. Yeah. It's all based on the amount of money they can make running Gats. If it makes sense, you do it. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Obviously with Joey Reed.
The money wasn't making sense. They had to replace her. She's their number one person, and it's not even close. Beyond that, they've got, I think, Lawrence O'Donnell. They've got Chris Hayes, the beta guy. They've got Ari Melber, the rapping lawyer. But she's the face of MSNBC. What else are they going to do? The next person below her is half her views.
Viewership. Lawrence O'Donnell. All right, let me go to the next story here. Who's 80 years old. Let me go to the next story here. Next story here. Something's going on between Tucker and Dan Crenshaw. Rob, played a clip with Dan Crenshaw. A little bit awkward. He's doing an interview with a guy, and then all of a sudden. you know, with GBN. They're talking, and he whispers something about Tucker if he was to run into him. Go ahead, Rob. Have you ever met Tucker?
I think kill him. What did he say? If I ever meet him, he goes, I think kill him. No joke. So let me ask you, who leaked this clip? This looks like a direct angle of the camera. So then this is GBN leaked. this clip or someone while they're talking or at gbn by the way the whoever that's at gpn that was behind it if the guy didn't get fired then it's gbn because if somebody leaked the clip here without my permission
And if they have a job and you leak this, you don't have a job. So that means GBN approved a clip like this being leaked or was okay with it being leaked because it was publicity. Getting it out there. So if you ever do an interview with GBN, make sure you don't talk while the camera isn't on. Nothing. Just say all the best, whatever. Because now Tucker responds back to this, Rob.
If you can pull up, what is that right there you got? Well, this is possibly why Dan Crenshaw said that he wanted to kill Tucker Carlson. So, I mean, Dan Crenshaw obviously. is not emotionally prepared to lead anything. He's out of control, and I think that he's a really volatile person. I hope he gets help. I mean that. But he's also a pretty sinister person, I would say, whose priorities are not aligned with us.
Party's voters, but also have kind of nothing to do with the United States. So I, you know, I object. I mean, I feel I'm being want to be honest. I feel sorry for Dan Crenshaw. I felt like he was emotionally out of control. And. So I feel sorry for him. But I also think it's not just him. It's a lot of the leadership of that party just doesn't put the United States first at all. And, you know, they all want to suck up to Trump and America first. Really?
Where's the money going? It's not going here. It's going... So this is what he's reacting to. And Tucker responds on a tweet, right, Rob? If you can go to that as well. So is Tucker calling out Trump right here? No, no, no. Tucker's calling out people from the rhino side and the establishment Republicans that are trying to kiss.
up to trump and saying but where does the money go to that's what he's saying go little lorks i thought there was a tweet by him saying uh go little lord go little lord go little lord apparently it's not up there um Okay, so if you find it, there was something where he said, I would love to have you on. I would love to have you on. I thought I saw a response. I thought I saw a response by Tucker. Tucker said if you want to debate.
Yeah, if you want to talk about it. Let's do it right here. I'll send you my address. Something like that is what he said. So, Benny, what are your thoughts on this? Well, first of all, and me and Brandon were talking about this before the show started, like Dan Cunshaw. Is that the one? Let me see it. Yep. Why don't you come and sit for an interview and we'll see how you do. I'll send you my address. Okay. This is a response. And then Ilan said, why is Crenshaw?
Homicidal regarding... Homicidal regarding Tucker. Okay. Go ahead, Vinny. Yeah, so... Okay, and I know some people are going to get pissed off, and as a veteran, as a veteran... This has nothing to do with his service. He served as, I think, SEAL Team 3. An IED blew up. I want to say Bahrain. Don't quote me on it, but his eye, you know, he's blinded. He has to wear a patch. The other one was in bad shape, but they...
They fix it and you can see. All that aside, you have to understand, there's a difference between Republicans from... Dan and Tucker, okay? Tucker is America first. You guys know that guy. He loves this country. His backbone is in this country. People like Dan Christchal, though, Pat, they support.
They're the guys that will wear the Ukraine patch. They're about sending the money. What did he call him? He called him Eyepatch McCain. He called him Eyepatch McCain. Tucker called Dan Crenshaw Eyepatch McCain. Tucker called him Eyepatch McCain, and he questions his credibility.
while he called Tucker a click chaser and a cowardly, know-nothing elitist. But I think this is the Republican Party that's fighting each other because one is a populist, media-driven America first, and the other one is just... establishment that we always talk about and it's like that's the changing of the guard the people want more
of tucker and this is where that beef comes and there's been a lot i mean he was going through it for a while um and um i forgot who reported on the unusuals where there's a lot of questions about the investing and you know insider trading and all that type of
stuff because the investments that he said that he was making i think i want to say he's worth 4.4 million dollars now and he was getting furious online because people were apparently calling him out for his stuff but um i think if they sit down with tucker tucker will eat him alive brandon
So, yeah, just when you listen to somebody speak, I look at their energy and their vibe a lot. And just really the way he speaks, the smugness, the condescending way that he says things, just that alone I don't like from the beginning. That was already a red flag.
The things that he supports, like he said, he's the first one to come out and support funding the military, first one to come out and endorse Ukraine. So I don't think that he says what he actually thinks. I think that he's one of those guys that's being told what's said. I think he's bitter. about things i think he's trying to chase money because of things and um yeah i don't think he actually says what he thinks so i can't respect somebody like that
Yeah, I don't know too much about this guy, but to say that Tucker Carlson is the worst person ever. I mean, that just blatantly proves that he doesn't know what he's doing. I mean, it's really difficult to hate. Tucker Carlson, even from the other side, he's just like a very cheerful, happy-go-lucky person, right? Worst person ever? I mean, no. I don't know. I think there's a lot of people out there that would like to punch Tucker Carlson in the face.
Not me. I'm just saying a lot of people would. Yeah. Yeah. Well, listen, we'll see what happened here. What I like is the fact that the debate's taking place. Now it's on Dan Crenshaw to go out there and sit down with Tucker. There's also things going on between Tucker and Ben.
where, you know, there is the Ben camp. There is the Tucker camp. There is the establishment camp. There's the DeSantis camp that's still not happy about what happened with Trump. There's the MAGA camp. Then there's the fractions of the MAGA camp. that are all fighting each other. But guess what? They're all still on the same side. That's the part, okay, that they're trying to fight and argue, and the policies at the top that are winning are the policies that Trump has.
The Republicans are saying, look, man, you guys are great. And whatever you're doing and whoever you're speaking on behalf of the ideas we support are the ideas that Trump's put up there for us. We're supporting what he has to say. And so that's. What I noticed going on within here. Next, JFK assassination task force to reveal finding on UFOs, Area 51, and pledges Americans will get the truth. Rob, if you got this clip to play.
Yeah, if you got this clip to play, go for it right here. Go ahead. Well, we're trying to do what I think just about every American wants, and that's to force the government. to be more transparent with the american people there are lots of questions we have about You know, everything ranging from the JFK assassination to whether or not the government has any knowledge of UFOs that that has been concealed.
And one of the things that Tucker Carlson said that I don't know that I agree with, he may be right, but I don't know when he says the CIA directors knew. I don't know. I don't know if these deep state bureaucrats even. Even tell their superiors because they have the attitude that superiors come and go. There'll be a Republican administration. There'll be a Democrat administration. And they may know. But I believe that.
in these deep state agencies. So the question becomes, what was supposed to be released just this Saturday that wasn't? We were, I mean, we've been promised since Trump's first... This is James Comer, by the way. Yeah, this is James Comer. And this is what we've been promised, Pat. JFK, because who was the Luna? the really attractive Anna Paulina Luna said, I've seen them and she thinks there's two shooters.
Pam Bondi's like, the stuff is sitting on my desk. Cash but sell said on day one, I'm going to X, Y and Z. OK, then you have him standing here and he's saying we're going to have to force the government. You are the government. Okay? You guys have the House. You have the Senate. We are promised all these things. We've been on you guys for this entire time. We've been supporting you the entire time. Enough of this waiting bullshit. And to be honest with you, it's not as if we don't know.
that JFK, at this point, there was multiple shooters. At this point, it's not even a secret anymore that multiple people were involved. Grassy Knoll, that what's-his-name was working with Russia. All this stuff is adding up. Everybody's dead.
What are we waiting for? Just tell us what the CIA was involved. So what's going to happen? We're going to debauch the CIA. Nobody's going to be held accountable. OK, and the Epstein list. It is kind of weird, though, that we're promised it. And now that everybody's in now, we just have to sit.
And wait. And when Pam Bondi said, it's sitting on my desk, I have to do it for review. Hold on a second. Unless it's people that you're cool with, that you don't want to get in trouble, we deserve to see it. Sorry, I'm just knocking over yourselves. Vinny.
I'm so sorry. Vinny, are you okay, bro? Yeah, no, I'm okay. You're fired up. You know what you seem like? You know what you sound like? She finished it. You sound like an angry patriot right now, buddy. It's almost as if I was drinking. I'm sorry.
You're right. It feels like we're slow walking this thing. I mean, what does it take? Why do you think, though? I don't know. Maybe, like Elon said the other day when they were interviewing him and Trump, he said that a lot of the time Trump will do an executive order and then it won't actually happen because the people who are responsible for executing...
it slow walk it or there's people that are behind the scenes or lower down the totem pole that end up not doing the things for whatever reason so i don't know like what's so difficult about just posting the files of the JFK thing, making it public, posting the PDF. This was three weeks ago. It's been 70 years. What's another couple days here, guys? I need it now! What was the eight pages of... I need it now. What was the eight pages or something that the 9-11 that would blow? Like.
Enough of this waiting BS. We are in charge now. Let me see it. Hold on. Let him finish. Let him go. Let him go. Let's see the next time someone interrupts me. Go ahead, Vinny. Keep ranting. Go. No, you just did it seven times. Go ahead. Yeah, literally, and I just kept my mouth shut. It's like the 9-11. I need a fight afterwards, by the way. Yeah, we got it. We'll do it in the middle. I'm ready. There's three of the main things that all these people that they call us kooks want to finally know.
which was one of the worst moments in the history of this country that they killed. They assassinated, and the biggest form of treason, they murdered a sitting president because he didn't want to go to war. He wanted to withdraw. He wanted to splinter the CIA.
to a million pieces or whatever the hell he said. Then the second one, 9-11, there's nine documents that you guys are holding that we can't see. What are you hiding it for? Is it Saudi's involvement? Is it our involvement? Did Bush and all them know? And then the third one is... 9-11 JFK and then the Epstein. Are you kidding me? Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's brother.
claims that he's not dead, whatever. But Ghislaine Maxwell is right now sitting, rotting in a prison, doing 25 years for selling human beings, for little girls. Where are her customers at? Where are all the people that abused, potentially raped, and maybe even killed because nobody knew what the hell was going on on this island? And nobody wants to know. And we have the list. Release everything. And if Trump was on it, I get messages. People are like, well, maybe it's...
Because Trump, I go, if Trump was on that list and he was at that island, you would have heard about this shit before Russia collusion. But why is this not being released? And they keep saying, why is it not being released? I think some of their friends are on that list. And some of their friends behind closed doors are like, hey, listen, just... Please, just as long as you can, just say that it's, there's no, give me another explanation. I get that with Epstein. I don't get that with Kennedy.
I don't get that with the other ones. I think it's a matter of like, there's this saying that time either promotes you or exposes you. And throughout the period of the last couple of years, so many conspiracy theorists have been vindicated. The conspiracy theorists have been right all along. about so many things so I think when it comes down to these
Very, very important classified documents. Like this is the last kind of grips on the narrative that they have. They're fearful that once that paradigm is broken for people and they realize that maybe the CIA was involved or the narrative was not what they were told. What's going to happen? Will it be the collapse of society or at least the collapse of their grips on society? Because they're going to realize once again, the conspiracy theorists are vindicated. Look.
I think it was Glenn Beck. Anyway, Pat, I just want to say something. I think that aliens... So that means I'll just start ranting and raving and turning red and say nothing. Say nothing! Here's the deal. I think it was Glenn Beck that said two weeks ago, I guarantee you within the next 10 days. They're going to release the Epstein files. I think he said a guarantee. He said 10 days. I want to say guarantee. It's been how many days?
Glenn Beck, our friend. It's been 14. Today is 14 days. Okay. But since he said. No, since cash gets in. When cash gets in. Which was last Friday. Last Friday. No, last Thursday he was confirmed. So how many days is it? Business days. Tick tock, guys. Clock's ticking. So we're going to see what happens there. You guys sound like stubborn children. It's been 62 years. I need it right now. Relax, guys. No, I don't want to relax. He just got in.
Would you have any Celsius? I haven't had any. But when somebody says on day one, he said on day one, Adam, I am about promises being kept and accountability. He also said that he'd end the Ukraine Russia war. On day one. Cash Patel. He hasn't even gotten his office yet. I don't give a shit. You said you're going to do it. No, it's on Pam Bondi's desk. She has it. What are we waiting for? Well, then keep that same energy when you meet Pam Bondi.
If I meet them and they haven't released it, trust me, they're going to hear it because the real supporters that have been with that whole group for nine years, we want what we were promised.
Plain and simple. It's important to keep the pressure on, too, because how fast the news cycle is moving, if we don't keep the pressure on every day, then people forget about it, and then the pressure gets lighter and lighter, so we can't let up on it. All right, let's go to this next one here, Rob. Listen, so... While in New York, something very interesting happens. This guy, who is funny as hell, walks up on Alec Baldwin. I don't know if you've seen this or not. This guy is just so talented.
And I'm sure if you're Alec Baldwin, obnoxious would qualify him. But Jason Scoop stands up to Alec Baldwin and is calling him out and is getting on his last nerve. But he gives him a compliment at the end, comparing him to... Bobby Robert De Niro. You have to see this. Go ahead and play this clip. So at least he gave him a compliment. You've got to respect that. Go ahead. Alec, it's your favorite. Alec, I will offer you a total pardon because I want to be friends. I want to be friends.
I will give you a total party for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring. Kiss the ring, Alec. Kiss the big, beautiful ring. Come on, Alec. Come on. Look at Alec Baldwin, right? He did that impersonation to me. It was... Not too hot. Not too hot. But look, we're back in office. You're lost. Kamala lost. She's somewhere getting intoxicated. Look at that suitcase. Unbelievable. Well, Alec, if you don't want that pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood. Unbelievable.
You can call it first degree, you can call it whatever you want, but it was not good. She's looking down on me right now, smiling, happy. Thank you for... Confronting the man who took me out, who killed me. Look at the Uber driver. He's like, look, just get away. Listen to what he says, though. No, you realize, but by the way. No, no, look at me. I want you to look at me. Yeah, sure, sure. You got a camera on me? The ring. No, it's the ring.
My kids live in this building. We love the children. We're doing great deals for the children. Okay. I'd snap your fucking neck and have him break your fucking neck right as your brother, don't you? Okay. All right, Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin, ladies and gentlemen. Class act. Believe me. Believe me. Okay.
Oh, he's yelling at me. I'm a citizen of this. I was born and raised in New York City. I love you, Alec. Alec, look, Alec, you don't want to attack your favorite president, Alec. Look, I love you. I love you, Alec. He's got more balls than De Niro, that I can tell you. De Niro ran away. Alec confronted. That's good. He's strong, but also weak because he murdered a woman. So that's okay, right?
Oh, my God. That's okay. Yo, Jason. Unbelievable. He is. Isn't that a guy who came to... He was here. He debated... He debated me. I remember he said, Patrick Met David. What a guy. No, my favorite is when he says African-Americans, he... push his sword. He goes, and I love the African-Americans. He's really talented. He doesn't do the old stuff, doesn't do the spray. He just puts on the hat. He is the best.
Donald Trump supporter. Him or Shane Gillis? Shane Gillis does the whole thing, but he's been doing it. So what are your thoughts on this? I want to know your thoughts. I think there's two things that are going on here. Anyway, so listen, I really think that... Check out Vinny at the... comedy club in Turlock, California. Yeah, 700-seaters sold out. Anyway. With your mom, your parents, your Assyrian family. Vinny, I swear to God, Vinny, you come near me one more time.
The guy's clearly talented. He's clearly funny. You got to have brass balls to show up at Alec Baldwin's house like that. But at the same time, if this dude showed up in front of my house, if he showed up in front of Bay College, I'd break this. Guy's neck in two seconds. If he was around my family doing stuff like this, I'm actually shocked that Alec Baldwin didn't murder you.
Because there's a big difference between being funny on the street in front of a red carpet appearance. I get it. You're going to show up in front of my house where my kids are and be a tough guy? I actually give Alec Baldwin... literal credit for not snapping this guy's neck. He's funny. He's talented. You show up in front of someone's house, you're going to have a problem.
Brandon. He was mocking him on TV every day during his presidency. So he brought that upon himself. That's not in front of his house. That's on TV. It's even worse. It's in front of the entire world. And he was mocking him during sensitive times, too. And it wasn't even a funny mocking. It was like a hateful mocking. I don't know if you understand this. That wasn't actually Donald Trump. Yeah? There was a character. Come on, make the argument. He was making fun of Donald Trump. Not that guy!
So what does that have to do with this? What, that he was in front of his house? Yeah, so what? He's in the middle of the street. If someone showed up at your parents' house, your parents were through that nice 30th birthday, and they start...
condemning and going in on your parents. I would laugh at them if they were doing a perfect imitation of Trump. In front of your parents' house? You're going to chuckle? You're going to be on his team? Yeah. Then you're a pussy. Or I'm not sensitive. Maybe you're overly sensitive. In front of your house? It's the middle of a city, by the way. This is a Manhattan high-rise in the street, bro. I'm sorry, New York is touchable. You're touchable in New York. It's not like he went to his...
a Montana house out on a ranch. He didn't show up in front of his house. He's standing in the street. If he saw him at Robert De Niro in a red carpet, that's one thing. Adam, there's an illegal sleeping outside in hotels. Vinny lives at one, two, seven.
Come to my apartment. Don't make me dox you. Hey, come to my apartment, but you better be armed and ready to get your ass shot. Because I'm fucking armed to the teeth. Come to my house. Bingo. Bingo. So Alec Baldwin, armed to the teeth. Exactly. You think a Democrat, liberal. Have you seen the movie?
Forget what I said. What do you think, PBD? Someone shows up in front of your house? You guys know, the part is saying you murdered that woman, I'll pardon you, whatever. He did not. Like, meaning the story... of the setup when you go through it even guys who can't stand him yeah said this wasn't on him this was the job of the other person to kind of check it now don't get me wrong
Guys like me and Vinny, military background, we naturally know what you have to do and go through it. But the lawyers, when they fought the case and they went through it,
This wasn't something that Alec, we had lunch with his lawyer just a couple months ago. Not a couple months ago. Five weeks ago we had lunch with him, right? That we sat down and we went through it. And this is a lawyer that's also a lawyer of Musk. And is a lawyer of a lot of different people. So it's not like he's just a liberal. Lawyer. No, having said that, that's one. The other part is, you know, when you, the way this works is in life is if you, your business model is mocking others.
publicly and humiliating them you can't get upset when they do it to you you just can't you're in the ring that's how it works okay when you're in it you're in it so you did it and it's going to come back that's kind of how this thing works you can't
You know how some people are very good at talking shit, but they can't receive it and take it? Listen, man, you've been talking a lot of shit. And he's giving it to you. And for Jason to go there and do it, great. The other part on the family side, I side with... Adam on this, but it is New York and New York is not Florida. New York is a very different model and animal. You either choose to live there or you choose not to live there.
It is disturbing. It is uncomfortable. And I'm actually very surprised that he didn't do anything. Literally. If that was done to Vinny Yu... I don't know what you would have done to the guy if he came up to you. If it was done to you. I think you would have also gotten upset at the guy. Probably, yeah. Because it was. But guess what? Jason won. For sure. Meaning that's exactly what this is. Oh, yeah. Jason won. So he got exactly.
what he wanted to get that he didn't get from De Niro. And contrast that with, if he didn't react like that, then he wouldn't have won. It wouldn't have been as big of a deal. No, no, that's right. And so Jason wanted this, and Jason's funny as hell, and he keeps doing this. But one day...
The wrong person could do something. You say that to the wrong person, some guy's going to literally stab your neck. Let me go to the next story here. So, guys, I mean, if I have to hear one more story about these two next stories, we can go through, because there's a couple stories I want to go through to give some thoughts on this. insulted Blake Lively, blast sexist, the Hollywood Reporter cover lampooning her Justin Baldoni lawsuit, should be ashamed of yourself, right? Now.
You know, Blake Lively played in a movie that I've watched from the 42nd minute on 50 times. And it's called... What is the name of that movie? What is the name of that movie? I've watched it so many times. What is the name of that movie? The Town?
Age of Adeline. I've watched that thing so many times. Thank you, Kelly. Age of Adeline, right? It's my favorite movie. It's such a great movie with her and Harrison Ford. It's a phenomenal movie, right? What's it about, Pat? However, let me just read this to you and then, Amy, I'm coming to you here.
Blake Lively blasted the Hollywood Reporter for its February 21st cover. Rob, can you pull up whatever the cover is? Which featured a cartoon mocking car lawsuit against it. Ends with... Is this it? Yes. Ends with... Co-star Justin Baldoni calling it outrageously insulting and playing into every sexist trope. The illustration depicts Lively using a slingshot to fire a cell phone at Baldoni.
referencing her legal team's attempt to subpoena his text messages. A spokesperson for Lively condemned the magazine saying the Hollywood Reporter should be ashamed of itself and criticizing its article. for downplaying documented examples of sexual harassment and retaliation as cultural misunderstanding. Lively sued Baldoni in December of 2020 for accusing him of sexual harassment on a set and launching a smear campaign against her while Baldoni...
The counter sued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for defamation and extortion on Wednesday. Lively filed an amend law complaint stating she was not alone in raising allegation of onset misconduct. Amy, what's really going on with the story? So I think why people are so interested in this is because it speaks to a much larger cultural issue. We are seeing the Me Too movement literally die. It's taking its last gasping breaths, but it is about to be dead. So essentially what happened...
is Justin Baldoni purchased the rights to the book, It Ends With Us. He is the producer, director, and one of the lead actors in it. And when he brought on Blake Lively to pay... play his partner, the co-lead, in a movie that is a very heavy topic about domestic violence. She took over every single aspect of the movie. The movie was really aimed at providing education and insight. and relating to the stories of what women go through when they experience DV.
She made it a lighthearted thing. She wanted to talk about, oh, wear your florals. And she used it as an opportunity to promote her alcohol brand, which is insane because most people, many people know that alcoholism really fuels DV. as well so it was completely tone deaf and as a response to this she was getting a lot of hate in fact people were posting old interviews of her that weren't even really relevant at all to the movie but they're just highlighting this is a mean girl this isn't a good
person. And in response to this, what she did was she created a smear campaign against Bell Darnie stating that actually he was making a smear campaign against her. And that's the reason why she had all of this negative backlash. What have you seen from the text messages? Like what has been revealed?
So essentially in her complaint, she said things like he walked in on her breastfeeding. She said things like he chastised her for her weight. All of this has been debunked by the text messages provided by Baldoni. She, in fact, messaged.
him saying hey i'm breastfeeding right now but come into my trailer let's go ahead and run some lines one of the other conditions she said you know we need to have an intimacy coordinator on set because i'm not comfortable with being close with you because you're doing all the
these inappropriate things he provided a text message showing hey i have an intimacy coordinator i'll get you on a call with her no i'm fine thank you i don't need to meet with the intimacy coordinator uh so essentially every single thing that she's claimed against him has
being disproved. So he was a class act throughout the entire process. Yes. That's what it seemed. Wow. And he put her on as an executive producer, which, and mind you, Pat, this guy's like a female, he's a male feminist, which is probably one of his biggest problems. He loves women.
He's a male feminist. He loves women. He cares. He's doing all this. And so, Amy, and real quick, because I'm pretty sure we're kind of all in the same boat. What was that moment? What was her deciding thing to say to hell with you? Because I know that it was the, was it?
For the screening, she made him and his whole family go down to the basement. Go down to the basement during the premiere of his movie. He literally was not even allowed to be at the premiere of his own movie. Why is that? Because Blake Lively had...
alienated the entire cast against him she had convinced everyone that he was this monster this terrible person so she could wield all creative control of the movie and end up getting her final cut of the movie not just in Baldoni's and in the end that's exactly what happened
He didn't even get to see the final cut of the movie because Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds came in with their own team, their own editors. They completely hijacked this thing. And then when there was negative backlash as a result, they painted all these false.
allegations against Justin in order to try to get back the power in the narrative. But everyone's seeing through it. They're seeing through the BS. And, you know, at the end of the day, they're the ones who are seeking gag orders against Baldoni from releasing information, whereas...
his team are saying, nope, let's put out everything. Every single text message. They're showing they have nothing to hide. And I just, I really love this story because again, it speaks to this larger cultural thing of the Me Too movement.
is over. Don't believe all women automatically. If there's a larger context to this, I get it. But this, I literally could care less about this movie, about these people, about anything. We're in America today. Inflation, cost of living, people are trying to pay rent.
Sit this one out. Hang tight. There's a lot of people that don't care about this. Yeah, but sit this one out and just sit on the sidelines and hang tight until the next story comes up and tell us how much you care about it. But with this one here, to me, when I think about...
what happened with Amber Hurt, and what was the other guy? Johnny Depp. This is such an important story. I know you don't give a shit about it, but this is such an important story. Because if they would have won against him... A guy whose dream was to be a Hollywood actor, producer, director, they could have crushed his career if they would have won. And they tried to do that. There was actually text messages where they show that Blake is saying things. I haven't seen Game of Thrones.
but she compares herself to Khaleesi. I believe she has dragons. She's like, I have dragons just like Khaleesi. I have Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift. They were doing everything they could to intimidate this guy who is a much smaller actor than Blake Lively. And, you know, just not.
Justin Bodoni. Ryan Reynolds is like the A-plus of all Hollywood actors. So, yeah, they tried to completely intimidate him, and it's amazing to see that it hasn't worked. America almost hated Johnny Depp. Yeah. Of course. And by the way, you know what we haven't seen? When's the last time we saw a movie? What was the movie that he was doing? Pirates of the Caribbean. When's the last Pirates of the Caribbean?
When's the last Pirates of the Caribbean? 10 years. Can you tell, when is the last Pirates of the Caribbean? 2017. Eight years ago, right? They'll probably remake it with a black lesbian. Yeah, but we haven't seen it since 2017. Why? And if you look at it closely, look at the closely how many years it is apart. Rob, go back. Zoom in a little bit. So three years, one year. Then you got four years, six years.
Yeah, so I don't know what movie Johnny's done the last five, six years. What is the last movie Johnny Depp did? What is the last movie Johnny Depp did? I don't think he's done anything. No, he's been playing the guitar and touring. He hasn't done a movie in God knows how long. He got back into music, right? So he did a bunch of voice work, and then he did Louis the... I don't know what number that is. Jean de Beru. Did you don't know that that's Louis XV?
Anything else with this? I don't know what number this is. It's going to end in court. I'm very excited to see this potentially be live streamed and broadcasted the same way the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial was. So I just really can't wait to see this entire thing play out. You made a good point because he's finished. He's done. Like in Hollywood.
Nobody's going to touch him. So that person that you're talking about, it's him. His dreams, everything that he's done. And then Amy, can you go back to the editing process? There was text messages where the editor was like, to him. Yeah, they're trying to console him.
they're like i'm so sorry like i know this is your project i'm sorry we can't show you anything i mean for him as well he instantly had his uh he had an award for advocating for women something in the realm of feminism they rescinded that award his podcast host quit immediately
That was immediate repercussions. This is the best thing for this guy's career. I never heard of Justin Baldoni before today. Now it is. Look at him now. And Blake Lively will probably, it'll be very difficult for anyone to ever work with Blake Lively ever again.
How big of a black eye did they get? Not how big of a black guy did they get. How big of a black eye did they get? Let me tell you about that story, Pat. What do you mean by that? Meaning, how bad is this on their reputation? Oh, on their reputations?
terrible terrible i mean now other footage is coming out of blake lively admitting hey when i get involved with projects they hire me as the actress and sometimes i don't really tell them but i actually want to come in and i want to rewrite it and i want to be a producer and i want to do all of these things she's
literally admitted all of this blatantly. This is just the first time that it's ended up. How old is Blake Lively, by the way? 30s, I believe. How much longer do you think Ryan Reynolds takes a ride? 35. Did you guys see... 37, she's done at 40. Did any of you guys see Deadpool Wolverine at all? Yeah, so do you remember the scene where he's nice, Paul, and he's saying like, oh, she bounced back right after her pregnancy. It's okay, I can say that I'm a feminist.
They're literally mocking Justin Baldoni in that scene as well. Yeah, because she made a comment that Baldoni said she was too heavy for him to lift. That's not true. He simply said, I have a back injury. How much should I train? to be able to lift you, something along those lines. She made it a complaint about weight, and then they actually put it in the Deadpool movies. I have a back injury. How much do I need to train to lift you? Weird. I butchered.
Can I just give a quick shout out? Speaking of feminists, it's someone's birthday today. It's Chelsea Handler's 50th birthday today. Adam's girlfriend. Adam. Did you message her? She's drunk. She's already up. Well, let's go to the next story, which is kind of appropriate. So Ashley St. Clair hits Elon Musk with paternity suit.
Seeks sole custody of five-month-old son. Court dox. Here, let me see what we got with this one here. So, conservative actually finds a paternity suit in Manhattan Supreme Court seeking to... legally declared Elon Musk, 53, as a father of a five-month-old son, requesting sole custody. St. Clair, Krem, she and Musk received a child during the January 2024 term of St. Bart's and asked the courts to...
ordered Musk to take a DNA test. Musk, who has not publicly acknowledged the child, allegedly met him only three times, twice in New York and once in Texas, and has never asked to see the baby nor asked for the photos. including the legal files or text messages and photos of Musk holding the infant with messages that appear to reference the child. So, Amy, what do you know about this story?
Yeah, so I love that I'm getting all the girly stories. That's what we want. I got you guys. I got you with all the goss. So this one, it gets particularly interesting where we see some screenshots released by a woman called Isabel Moody. I'm not sure if you can track those down. rub. But this is a woman who's actually friends with Ashley St. Clair. And she released text messages going back to 2023, where she actually reached out to Isabel and said, Oh, my God, Elon just followed me.
Is this post funny? I need to be funny for Elon. I want to get attention from him because I want to have his rocket babies. Something to that effect. Elon followed me. I need his rocket babies. No way. That's awesome. Looks like I'll take one for the team. Seduce Elon.
in a rocket and see what's up oh you must for the good of society so i mean this is a billionaire baby trap this entire thing was premeditated and what makes it really bad and just i mean it's bad in general really bad but what makes it so much worse and really just makes her a hypocrite is that she is this quote on unquote conservative influencer so she's apparently being this big proponent of you know non-degeneracy and monogamous relationships
not having children out of wedlock. And now this isn't just the first, but... now the second child that she's had out of wedlock so she's not consistent with any of her values number one and number two it seems like this was a baby trap this was all planned from the very beginning she made her bed and now she has to lay in it i have
absolutely no empathy or sympathy for her. Elon Musk has made it very clear that he wants to have as many children as possible. He wants to repopulate the earth. So she should not be acting in any way, shape or form as if she is surprised by his... response how much would child support be how how does child support work i know i have i have friends that have money that pay a ridiculous amount of money they're not married to child support if you are with a guy that's worth 500
billion dollars does it go off of what you make to give the kid how does that work that's a good question he's in the state like think about like how much how much it goes by the state so she's in new york he's actually based out of texas i believe what's funny is It would go by New York law.
so she also stated she made a tweet a couple years ago saying it's so wrong that women alienate children from their fathers and elon replied and he said yeah and she replied and said it must stop whoa now she's literally doing that right now 700 per month for Grimes? From Elon? That's it? I don't know about that, bro. So based on what you're saying, he is the father. That would be crazy. Of Ashley St. Clair's baby? Yeah.
Yeah, it does appear to be. She also leaked signal. That's not a DNA test. This is just he visited. So based on your opinion, he's the father. Based on my opinion and what I've seen of the screenshots, they could have been doctored screenshots, but they also posted signal messages. You know those signal messages that delete within 24 hours? What she did was she actually took a picture of...
the phone, of the messages themselves. And you can see them interacting and talking about the pregnancy and talking about the baby. So unless those were doctored screenshots... What's this, Amy? What's this tweet? If women... If women get the right to abortion, men should have the option to not pay child support. And again, she also tweeted saying it's so wrong to alienate a child from its father.
And yet that's exactly what she's doing right now. You're wrong. You're wrong only because he has not admitted he's the father. On the technicality, yeah. In order for him to pay child support, in order for him to be able to see the child, in order for him to be in the child's life, there needs to be one thing. He needs to be the father.
If not, he's just a random creepy dude showing up. So they need to establish whether he's the father or not. Period. Secondly, this is on one person and one person only. The richest man in the world. So she entrapped him? Yeah. Get in line for how many other women would like to have a baby with Elon Musk. And by the way, for someone who admittedly would like to have 100 children, he might show up at 10 women's house tonight.
to act like this is on her oh my god her little cute text message got him into bed elon musk this is on you i said this last time this is on the the person with the power the person with the status the person with the money
He who pays says. So whether it's Drake and the girl, remember the whole hot sauce condom thing? That's on him putting hot sauce in the condom so a woman wouldn't do this. Whether you're an NBA player and you're the... cleat chasers or jersey jumpers, what they call them in the NBA, that's on...
NBA guys, not to impregnate jersey jumpers. That's on the richest man in the world. If he doesn't want to have a kid, wrap it up. Now, Vinny, a condom is something that you use if you don't want to... Column? Yeah, a column. So I know that you've never heard of these things. But if he wanted to not impregnate somebody, he would use condoms. Clearly, Elon Musk ain't using condoms. Of course. So when you show up at someone's house and they entrap you, whatever you want to call it.
He knows exactly what he's doing. So now he has his legal team dealing with whatever legal ramifications it is. But first and foremost, they need to establish whether he's the father or not. She says that he is the father. Because I know someone else that is definitely not the father.
What's interesting about these messages, so they order delete after 24 hours, and we can see here a conversation that they're having where she's trying to reach out, trying to get him in the kid's life, and he's saying, hey, I'm like the number two after Trump for assassinations. Like, I need to keep a low profile right now.
She's saying, I know, that's why the father spot on the birth certificate is blank right now, E. So she's posting all of these. But what's interesting is, again, she had to take a picture of the screen because when you screenshot, you get notified to the other person. So did she? have something planned all along like why is she taking a picture
Of text messages that Elon clearly intended to be. Any girl has something planned all along when they're with the richest man in the world. Why are you acting like that's a, oh my God, should I try to have his kid? Yes. If you found yourself in a room with Elon, don't just stand there and have a.
conversation. Go have a kid with a guy. Well, see, I don't think Amy, like, I know her, and I'm being dead serious. I don't think Amy's the type of girl that'd be like, Elon Musk, yeah. Thank you, Vinny. Just have a, go raw dog inside me. Then she's an idiot. No, no, no. She's not an idiot.
Hold on. Let me tell you something, Vinny. I would have a kid with the own must be paid $15 million. No, she's not an idiot. I'm actually not being funny. She's not a whore. I don't think money... She has values, and she's not... Adam, and I'm sorry to... I know this is going to rock your world. Not every girl out there is just like... Rich guy?
No condom. Have sex and come inside. No, that's not it. Money can buy just about everything except dignity. Those are girls in that circle that are just looking for, and I'm not hating on her. Listen, I hope that she, I wish she didn't have to be in this situation. But you're acting like it was a one and done thing. No, no.
They apparently dated for a year. No, that's fine. What I'm saying is, I'm just like, establish that. It wasn't like a whore. It was they dated. But what do you think they're going to get mad? Does she think that there's a future with Elon Musk again, man? I don't freaking know. The fact that it wasn't just a one and done thing. They dated.
I know somebody else that she dated. You know what dating means, right? Yeah, they hold hands. Are we okay, Pat? I know it's been a while since Vinny been able to date. Are you okay, Pat? Yeah. Pat, you're gushing out of your mouth. That's a me, SD. Oh, man. All right, last story before we wrap up. Pat, you just squirted all over me. You just spilled all over me, Pat.
This is the last story. I've lost my voice. I'm trying to recover from where to home. Aaron Judge, Yankees. We have to talk about this. Explains why he's staying Mr. Clean even after Yankees. Stunning facial hair reversal. So the Yankees historically have been known as an organization that you have to stay clean cut. By the way, if you can get Hal Steinbrenner's...
Tweet, breaking it down, saying after 29 years, if you got it there, we'll go through it as well. So Aaron Judge, captain of the New York Yankees, will remain clean-shaven despite Hal Steinbrenner lifting the team's 48-year arms. I said 29, 48-year-official hair ban.
saying this is what i know this is what i'm used to judge who has been shaved since being drafted in 2013 added i look around the building look at the old photos past legends they all follow that rule so i just try to follow On their path, while he acknowledged being definitely shocked by the policy change, he supported it if it...
gets us a couple more players that will help us win games. Judge dismissed the idea that the band deterred free agents, stating if that little rule is going to stop you from coming here, then you probably shouldn't be here. Good for you. Though Steinbrenner is suggesting some players have been hesitant to join the Yankees because of the policy, Judd said he had not heard too much about guys refusing to sign over.
Devin Williams and Carlos Roden have already announced plans to grow beards while Judge Anthony Volpe, Marcus Stroman are sticking with their clean-cut look. Okay, so Rob, if you can pull up the Hal Steinbrenner. Tweet. He puts it out there. Go a little bit lower. You'll see like maybe it's not that one. Vinny, what do you think about this? You're a Yankee. You're a New York guy. What are your thoughts on this story here? You already know. Huge Yankee fan. I think.
Aaron Judge is the epitome of a Yankee, okay? He respects the tradition. That's why they picked him. That's why he's there, you know, for the pinstripes, for the history of the game. You know, like you said, the Steinbrenners had the rule around. That's what sets us. apart from everybody else. We look clean. We don't look like we just came out of a freaking mountain cave. I've seen some beers that are just, it's just the hair. It's just everything is crazy. Judge gets it.
He's the face of the franchise. He's the captain of the team. He's supposed to lead by example. And I think that's a positive attitude to have. And I'm pro Aaron. You know how I feel. You know the best example of this was? Remember Johnny Damon before and after he went to Red Sox to the Yankees? That's the best.
contrast of what it's like with and without this he had the long hair the crazy beard and like it's night and day you know so i'm a yankees fan too and it's like there's always been like a cut above in terms of respectability in terms of the uniforms and everything so that's it that's what you're talking about exactly exactly like what would you rather have
It's more respectable. I want the clean-cut guy on the right. If the guy on the left wins. Adam. I think it's BS. I'll tell you why. You're thinking, this is what the Yankees stand for. No, what the Yankees stand for is the highest payroll in baseball every single year. I think Don Mattingly, who was literally Mr. Baseball.
Had a mustache. Can I see that mustache, Rob? Yeah, that's the rule, though. It can't go past your... Oh, so the rule is you have to grow an Adolf Hitler mustache? That's it? Don Matley didn't have a mustache. You can have a mustache as a Yankee.
Jackson had a mustache. You could have a mustache. That looks like a pretty handlebar-esque mustache. Yeah, but he's shaved. He doesn't have a Hitler. So how far can you go down? What's the rule? Same as military and fire department. So where can you go? Right about there. Right about here. Side mouth. So you can have a Barbarino side of your mouth. So no goatee. No goatee. But you can have a little Dirty Sanchez. Yeah.
Anyway, I think it's ridiculous. Why is it ridiculous? The owner of the team, that's his culture. That's the team. That's great. That's fine. So why do they have to change? Why is it ridiculous? Keep it the way that... By the way, the most winningest 26 championships... I think it worked, Adam. I don't know. It might be crazy. They won a lot of that when there was a...
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and also that other little thing. No black people in the league. No, what do you mean? I experienced four of them. I experienced four World Series. I lived through four World Series. Everybody was clean. Derek Jeter was clean. Yeah, Don Manley had the handlebar. Let me ask you a question.
What's on your face right now? What? Your stupid looking face. What's on your face? I'm not playing baseball. Exactly. I'm on the PBD podcast and I'm a Syrian and I'm Middle Eastern. But can you do your job? Yeah. You can do okay? That's not the point. The point is, no, it doesn't make a difference. That's not how this works. I want to hear Pats. Yeah. So only in baseball is where you can't have a beard? Yeah, let's do this and let's wrap it up because Adam needs a break today.
Relax. I got my Garshuk coming right away. You got a Garshuk. By the way, I don't know how many Garshuk you got, but you need a lot of them. So the Yankees, Steinbrenner, he buys the Yankees in 73. The new appearance rules for the Yankees takes place in 76, okay? And it's there almost 50 years, and then Hal changes it. Now, to be fair to Hal versus George, Hal is not...
George. That policy only works based on the man who's setting that standard and expectation that doesn't compromise, which is who? George. George put that standard. How many World Series did the Yankees win since 1976? That's what I want to know. How many World Series have the Yankees won? How many World Series? Sirius have the Yankees won since 1970. Put 73 because they won it in 73. Can I say nine? Nine.
So they've won five. Wow. Okay. One, two, three, four, five. Yeah. I thought it would have been more as well, but they've won five. Okay. Total, they've won 27. Okay. But since the 1973, they've won five. The last time they won. Yankees 27 titles. Well, let's see that. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Is it 7? So why is this saying, 19-0 Yankees have won the World Series five times. Here's how many years they won. So I'm looking at... 77. I'm saying 73. ChatGBT just told me. 77, 78. 96, 98.
It's missing 99 here, and it's missing 2,000. So ChadGBT is actually off. They won four or five? So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. So they've won seven since 70. So that's 47 years, 48 years they've won seven. All right. But they haven't won one in 16 years. I don't know. I think those types of standards works if the guy who has a strong personality with those standards is still around.
That's what I think works. And George was one of a kind. And guess what? He passed the business over to his son. Hal has been running it. Hal gets to call the shots right out of the way he wants. And sometimes when somebody's son comes in or daughter comes in and they're leading, they get to make certain adjustments. That's just kind of how it works. Jerry Buss wouldn't have given Kobe.
The two-year, $48 million contract that he got when he was averaging 35% field goal percentage. Jerry would have never given that contract. Jerry would have said to walk. But guess what? Jeannie gave the two-year, $48 million contract to Kobe Bryant. And Jeannie isn't Jerry.
And Jerry won how many championships while he was running it during the 33 years? Ten? Guys, Jerry Buss was possibly the greatest owner of all time in sports, won 10 championships in 33 years of owning a team. Think about it. When Shaq came up to him one time, and Shaq's like, hey.
Miami Heat wants to pay me this. He says, really? Yeah, he says, go get it. Yeah, go get it, buddy. He's like, I'm going to go with Kobe. Kobe's a future. You're not. And Shaq's like, really? Yeah, this is my team. No, you won the three championships. But go get your money. I don't think this is your season. I think it's Kobe's season. The Jerrys and the Georges that have to deal with a lot of criticism and a lot of hate, it's not everybody's job. It's not. And it's a very tough job.
And I love the organization. I love the history. I'm all about history, traditions, rituals, all of that stuff. That stuff is very attractive to a guy like me. But it may not be attractive to everybody. It is to me, though, quite frankly. You know, I got in trouble for saying this while it was going on, and what I said about Juan Soto, and I got a weird phone call, which I'll keep that private. But to me, the moment the Yankees lost, after the way Juan played defense,
And then afterwards, when they're asking him, where do you want to go? I'll take offers from anybody. Showed zero respect to the Yankees organization. I'm not interested. Very simple. You have to be proud to go to the Yankees. You have to have a sense of a historic. You have a sense of an understanding of who played for the Yankees, what they did to the game. When you watch Maris, Mantle, when you see stories of Ruth,
When you hear stories of what Jeter, all these other guys that came in, I'm getting the chills all over my body. When you see the stories of Yogi, when you hear those stories, these guys built that organization. where people are now proud to wear the jersey, okay? Where people scream and saying, this, this, this, may, may, may, be, be, be, the greatest day of my, my, my, my, life, life, life, life, life, life.
When you put that Yankees jersey on, there's something about it. And that's got to continue. That pride's got to continue. People want to belong to an organization that's a little bit tough to be a part of. It's not for everybody. You want to go play anywhere? Go play anywhere. Some places that's a little bit tougher to be a part of.
It's a little bit more challenging. It's a little bit more annoying. It's a little bit more edgy. It's a little bit more of that. Yes, that's the Yankees. And I respect it. I like it. It doesn't mean... Hal gets to make whatever decision he makes. He's the majority owner. He's the boss. He calls the shots. You got to follow. That's what the shots is being called. And he has more insight to information that's being made. And his team supported it. And it is what it is. But I also applaud.
Aaron Judge, this guy is a, you know, he was adopted. The way he was, you ever hear him talk about him being adopted and what his family did to him and how he looks and gives the credit? I don't know, man. I think Aaron is like freaking – I just want to see this guy win a championship. I want to see him win one. He's the kind of guy that you want him to see win one. I like him as a face of a league. He's –
A great number one for an organization. Great flag carrier. In an era where it's very hard to find a great number one that's willing to defend the values and principles and the cultures and the rituals. I agree. Good luck finding a guy like Aaron Judge today. Anyways, all right, so we are done with today's podcast. Rob, what is today? Today is Tuesday. Yes, sir. Tomorrow we're getting the podcast with Bolsonaro that's going live.
If you have the intro for the people that are still here with us, you get a chance to see it at the end. But it's going to go live tomorrow. And this will be translated both in Portuguese and in English. I believe the English one will go on this channel, PBD Podcast, Rob. The Portuguese one will go on Valuetainment Brazil. We have a new channel that's created called Valuetainment Brazil. Rob, if you can put the channel below for people that want to go.
Subscribe to the Portuguese version of it. We've already put up two clips on there, and I speak a hell of a Portuguese, man. What do you want to hear? I heard it. It's so good. I don't know. Four days. It's like Mormons. I went to Brazil for four days. I learned how to speak Portuguese. The technology they have is very advanced. But if you want to play this clip, Rob, for people to see it, this is the intro.
to the President Jair Bolsonaro interview that goes out tomorrow at 9 a.m. Go for it, Rob. To most Americans, When they think about you, they compare you to President Trump. Both of you are very loud. Both of you are very strong. We have one more thing in common. I was stabbed and he was shot. The deep state works to remove opponents from the left, and I am here in Brazil at the moment the only right-wing leader, just as Trump is in the United States.
In the U.S., the establishment, the left, could silence Trump to not be able to run in 2024. They would have done exactly the same thing they did to you. Our Supreme Court here is completely politicized. If Mother Teresa of Calcutta were to take an interest in most of them, she would be convicted by our Supreme Court.
Do you believe President Biden and maybe even the CIA was involved in making sure you lost and Lula got back in? I was trying everything. They couldn't convict me for anything. So now they've made up a story about a coup in Brazil. We condemn the destruction, the invasion. We never did that, but it was something planned and designed by the left. My non-candidacy is a denial of our democracy.
We have a video of him saying that and it couldn't be shown. In other words, we couldn't show anything from the other side. On this side, they accused me of everything. Sinophobic, homicidal, pedophilic, everything. If I say what I know. Hours after you put this on air, I will be arrested. Is it fair to say that China would rather have Lula as a president than you, not arresting charges? Yes, yes, completely submissive.
the corruption in Brazil. He said, if Jesus came to Brazil, even he would need to make an alliance with Judas. Yeah, that's normal in Brazil. We've always done that. The reason why whistleblowers are afraid of come out, because they're worried what Demoraz will do to them. Now get the hacker, look at me. What happened to me? The truth. will come at the right time. I'm the one who made the people start believing in their country again.
Oh, my gosh. I have goosebumps all over my body. The whole guys that put that. Shout out to whoever edited it. Jared. Jared. jared and everybody in the back the part when he was crying what was that regarding I can't tell you. You've got to watch it. Don't even say it. You've got to watch it. I'm about to start crying right now. When I ask, and he went on a rant, Rob's in tears, Ezra's in the background in tears, translating to me in tears.
It was an incredible moment. Anyways, gang, tomorrow, 9 a.m., this is coming out. And then Thursday, Rob, we got home team. Yes, sir. And then we got, well, we got a few other surprises that come in. Just stay tuned. Get better soon, Tom. Love you, Tom. Bye, Tom.
