Press briefing.

Press briefing together with him and Putin. If it doesn't, it's just going to be Trump by himself.

Summertime, go represent future looks, bright gear. They just came out this week. Sounds good. All right, let's get right into it.

Story.

The first story I want to get into is when we're looking at everything, Rob, which one was the story that people said to go with? Can you tell me on the chart?

Yes.

Out of all the voting in the poll, number one story, Trump meets Putin in Alaska.

Okay, so let's go to Trump meets Putin in Alaska. Okay, so let's go to Trump meets Putin in Alaska. So Putin hails Trump energetic and sincere efforts to end Ukraine war. Rob, if you have that video there, and by the way, something very weird just came out from Hillary Clinton about Trump and Ukraine. But before I show you this clip, that clip, watch this right here. This is Putin.

Go for it. Tonight on the eve of their high stakes summit in Alaska, Russian President Vladimir Putin trying to lay the groundwork, heaping praise on President Trump. Putin saying the current American administration is making quite energetic and sincere efforts to stop the hostilities, stop the crisis, and reach agreements that are of interest to all parties involved

in this conflict. Putin saying Trump wants to create long-term conditions for peace, both between our countries and in Europe and in the world. But the Russian leader saying he has other goals from this meeting that go beyond the war in Ukraine, that he wants to discuss nuclear arms control, the Kremlin saying trade and economic cooperation will also be on the agenda.

Trump today not ruling out those conversations, but saying his focus is on ending the war.

I think that President Putin would like to see a deal. I think if I weren't president, he would take over all of Ukraine.

But I am president, and he's not going to mess around with me.

But Ukrainian President Zelensky, who won't be in the room, says Putin is bluffing. And today, Trump admitting he thinks there's a 25% chance this summit will fail. But if it doesn't, Trump says he wants to quickly bring Putin and Zelensky together for another meeting, even saying Zelensky could join the.

Oh, that's where it ended. Okay, sounds good. So so when you're seeing this 25% chance Zelensky saying he's bluffing, you know Putin's coming in, you know, he's saying hey, you know Trump seems very energetic about wanting to make a deal and then Trump makes a promise And he told Zelensky and allies that he won't discuss territory divisions with Putin this week and that he agreed that only Ukraine can negotiate territorial Concessions this week so Tom your thoughts on the story here. Well first of all This is the right body language from Putin because if you take a look at the Trump wins on tariffs and other things around the world

Clearly Trump's gaining momentum and put nos this. Putin pays attention to this. Says, Vinny, when you take a look at something like that, you can clearly see that Putin is not agreeing to anything, but he's saying, I think it's very sincere, very energetic what he's doing. And then they go on to talk about territory, where Trump talked to European leaders and said, hey, you know, only Ukraine can be at the, you know, be at the table for the final word on negotiating its territory. And Trump is telling Zelensky, hey, we're not going to discuss territory division with Putin this week. However,

then we find out that comes out the other way. That says Russia, United States had discussed a model independently, like the West Bank. Now you have to remember what happened with the West Bank and what happened with Sinai Peninsula. When Egypt came across the canal, the Suez Canal, and attacked Israel from the southwest,

after Israel pushed them back, they actually pushed them all the way back into the canal and back over, and then they took it, and they told the UN, we're not leaving, we don't trust these guys, and so we want this permanent buffer,

and we're taking their damn land, and we're making a permanent buffer between us and Egypt, deal with it. And that's kind of, and so now, the US and Russia are talking about, well, what if there's kind of like this zone, and by the way, there's no weapons and supposedly there's no militarized people in the zone. There are the Egyptian side of the zone and the Israeli side of the zone.

And if you really want to know about this, you can go read the book, Getting DS, and that's a great book. And it's got the case study on how they negotiated this, which is very interesting that this exactly what the US and Russia are talking about. Maybe we make a permanent buffer here, like the DMZ in Korea. Now, some people are going to be jumping all over me right here,

and now Russia took their land and now they're just trying to get it back. Well, look, we got to solve this thing somewhere. And, you know, they made this huge... Ukraine did a huge drone attack last night

on the eve of them all trying to get together. So one of the things I do, by the way, of the drone attack, there was a couple of them while you're Tom, you're saying that, Rob, if you can pull it up.

So I recap point one, it appears that good body language from Putin, you know, whether you agree with him or not agree with him about the attacks and everything. Second, I think Trump's really behind the scenes trying to negotiate something and the fact that the West Bank or the Sinai or even Korea DMZ comes up says maybe we create a buffer that ends up working for everybody, may not like it. And then lastly, you know, we haven't seen Zelensky. It doesn't look like Zelensky is going to show up.

It looks like this is truly going to be Trump and Putin.

So the question here, is that it, Rob? That's one of the ones that was reported on and so now this is the automated airplane Is that crazy? Yeah, so the drones they've built but by the way, we were talking about this the other day with Ukraine Ukraine produces Ukraine produces I believe the number was was it a I don't know what the number was It could have been a thousand you drones a day Rob. Can you check how many drones Ukraine was producing a day? And there were like 500 bucks a drone, something like that. For $500, they were blowing up $5 million equipment.

That's an ROI right there.

Just so you know that, what they were doing. But who in here is, yeah, that's right, right there. You see it? So they do, wow, that's unbelievable. Wow, 200,000. Four million drones this year, 200,000 drones a month, and 6,700 drones a day is what they're producing. A day is what they're producing. So you simply put a bomb on it,

send it to a bunch of different locations. So a smaller country, lesser, you know, not inferior weapons, they're being a bigger pest to the enemy that's a bigger behemoth with a ton of nuclear weapons that they have there. The question I got for you guys is this. Putin's saying the following.

It seems like Trump is energetic and sincere about wanting to do Ukraine deal. Okay. So Zelensky says, I think he's bluffing. Okay. Trump says, 75% chance, boom, 25% chance it's a bad meeting. I'm going to do the whole thing myself.

Who here needs who the most and who is just fake actor, nothing's going to get done? That's the question.

Adam.

You're asking who needs who the most? Who wants this thing to be done the most? US, Putin, or Zelensky?

I think Trump wants this thing to be done. He's the one who said that he'll get this done before he's even taken office. Day one. So look, who doesn't want it to get done? Zelensky. Everyone thinks it's Zelensky. I think it's Putin because Putin has the opportunity to stop this today. He clearly does not want to stop this. It's shocking to me that people are so anti-Zelensky. So let's compartmentalize. Is Zelensky someone that we enjoy, that we like, that we want to hang out with, that we even want to back up? No, no, no, no, no. But who's actually the enemy? It's

Putin. So, you know, you had the great interview with Andrew Bussamante yesterday. He was basically saying it's really a great return on investment to keep our enemies preoccupied. The reason that we're not over there having boots on the ground, whether it's in Ukraine, whether it's in Gaza, whether it's potentially in China is let them do the dirty work. And it's basically saying, oh, like, I don't want to go to the restaurant. I don't want to have to go pick up the food door. Dash that thing.

Uber eats that thing. Ukraine is our Uber eats. We want to deal with Russia. We want to deal with their propaganda. We want to deal with their warfare. Let Ukraine deal with it.

Everyone's everyone used to be how Bernie Sanders is like, the millionaires, the millionaires, and then it turned into the billionaires, the millionaires. News for you, if it doesn't start with a T, with a trillion, and it starts with an M, million, it's really not that big of a deal when you're giving people money. In my opinion, Putin wants to keep this war going.

Zelensky's trying to just stay in power. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing. And Trump wants to make a deal. Final point. He said in a press conference, press briefing with journalists, he said, I'll know within two minutes if we have a deal. Did you hear him say that?

And a reporter goes, well, well, how do you know that? He goes, excuse me. This is what I do. I make deals. This is what I do. I think there's a 1% chance of anything good happening.

Trump laid the groundwork of 25% chance it will fail. I think it's a 99% chance nothing happens from this. We'll see.

Question though.

Go ahead, play the clip.

Yeah. I'm in a meeting with Vladimir Putin and at the end of that meeting probably in the first two minutes I'll know exactly whether or not a deal can be made. How do you know?

It's so true if you want to know what Trump is this is what I do so night

Okay, so you're saying 99% chance that that's gonna happen. My opinion is different Vinny. Where you at? Well, my thing well, Adam you said that there are enemy what what's we're not at opinion is different. Vinny, where you at? Well, my thing, well, Adam, when you say that they're our enemy, what, what's, we're not at war with Russia. They're not our enemy. They're our adversary. I think China's a way bigger enemy. Are we at war with China? Well, no, not a, not a shooting a gun war, but when it comes to COVID and COVID and buying

land and doing all the- I agree with you, there's different types of wars. Oh yeah, 100%, but with Russia- You think we're just peaceful and friends with Russia? No, no, not peaceful, but we've been poking the bear with them since the 90s. We told them- But it works both ways. No, I understand that, but when it comes to this situation, especially with this meeting, I think Trump is an alpha, huge alpha, so is Putin. They're going to be in a room, hopefully, with Zelensky. He's not even a beta, bro.

He's not. He can't compare to these two. And then when you have all the Warhawks, I'm hoping the Lindsey Grahams and all the defense contracting people, Pat, probably weren't in his year, which I'm pretty sure they're talking to him. And like Zelensky, there's no money if you just piece it up and we just stop right now. If you bow down, we're all gonna lose money, you're gonna lose your position, and you look weak. Okay? My hopes are that it happens, but the way

that Zelensky is, Pat, with the attitude and coming in the White House, that type of attitude comes from people in your ears saying, hey, go in there and be a freaking tough guy. He's not a tough guy. He's an actor. Who, can I ask you a question? To Pat's question, who do you think needs it more? Trump Adam nailed it Trump just for he said he was gonna do it He's a little bit delayed, but I think I think Zelensky Zelensky neat Listen cuz you know what it is hundreds of thousands of people are dying and guess what with the drones aside

Who he thinks it was lost more soldiers Ukraine Ukraine has a running up to them and putting them in so to me this is how I see it and we can get to the next story, is a guy at the level of Putin or Trump, they don't waste seven hours of their day going somewhere that they don't want to do anything. And that's a one-way flight.

On the way back, it's another seven hours for Trump. How long is the flight time for Putin, Rob? Where Putin was going through? What do you mean? Russia is right next to Alaska Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house I it's not that far what I'm saying to you is neither one of Moscow is nine time zones wide Yeah, so what I'm saying to you is this this is not gonna be a meeting where guys are trying to you know Waste their time going to a meeting like this. That's one. They're not gonna do it So there's a reason why they're doing this. There's not a

Waste of time so they go eight hours and 20 minutes to Alaska. So you got Putin's got 17 hours of flight time Trump's got 14 hours of flight time Neither one of them are doing this for the hell of it because they need more publicity and they want to get cameras They're sure the world knows them. They don't need another Million followers or a hundred thousand followers or 50 million views. They don't need that But to me in this in this case, I think the way Zelensky and NATO did it

So NATO is telling Zelensky we have your back. He goes and meets with star mer. He goes and meets with Macron is speaking on his behalf Macron comes out and says Trump agreed only Ukraine can negotiate territorial concessions Macron says so Macron is now speaking on behalf of Zelensky speak there so which means NATO is not for a deal at all NATO is trying to tell Zelensky, you don't have to give nothing. We have your back.

That's what NATO is saying. And Trump in this section, where he can throw a complete wrench inside the whole thing and is capable of doing that, is, really? You guys all teamed up against me, NATO? Really, that's what you want to do?

No problem. I, the country that gives the most money, I'm agreeing to have Putin, Russia be a part of NATO. Go ahead and play that game. So I think they're, they're, they're, Trump and his, Trump is showing this hand, which is three cards. Trump's got two cards that he's like, nobody knows what those two cards are, including Hexet. No one knows it. And all of a sudden he's gonna drop it.

It's like that moment when Trump is standing next to Netanyahu. And he says, yeah, we're excited about Gaza, we're gonna take over Gaza, we're gonna make and then Netanyahu looks at him like, what? We didn't speak about this. You didn't agree to this here. So I think that's the surprise element of Trump that's coming here soon.

What he's gonna say, who knows but in this case, I think Putin Needs this deal the most I do think Trump wants it for different reasons like a see but I think I think Putin Honestly, if you think about it Putin's been publicly humiliated Zelensky's not been humiliated Zelensky's been turned into a hero Putin has been publicly humiliated because everybody thought Within 30 days the war is gonna be done and Putin's gonna get what he wants and that's not been the case. Yes So it's a bit of a it's a bit of a black eye in front of on that black guy It's a little bit of a black eye nothing wrong in front of his audience audience of what happened

And and it's to the point right now where Hillary Clinton chimes in and this is what she said she admits She would nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize. Oh, she would and helps end the war in Ukraine Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton admits She is this it Rob doesn't she say that let's see it

It's a deep fake president Trump were the architect of that I'd nominate him

Okay, so of that I'd nominate him. Wow. That's respect. Okay so there you go. That's what Jessica Dourlove from Fox News. And the reason why Hillary Clinton's saying it the way she did, you know why she's saying it as confident as she did? Because she knows something that there's no way it's gonna happen. Or else she would never say that. Right. You think she's involved in the conversations with NATO and Zelensky? you think she's involved with all the Democrat establishment talking to each other on what they're gonna be telling Zelensky You think the insider establishments told her exactly how to conversations went of course

I don't think I think Hillary Clinton just gave away her cards in that statement and the cards are over my dead body this war is gonna end and Because I know the war is not gonna end because I'm involved in it on the inside with some relationships guess what I'm willing to say publicly that I would nominate him to a Nobel Peace Prize because she knows she never will if she does it'll be the first time in her life that she shows a sign of nobility which is great but I think that was her having too much information that

she indirectly told the world that I kind of know a little bit more than you small-time people out there that you are doing podcasts and shows and mainstream and all this other you guys are not on the inside you guys are just you know what's the word you guys are just peasants you guys are just a masses I know what's

going on cuz I'm on the inside of the conversation. Do you think that she's such a psychopath self-dealing person that she would rather see the war go on in Russia and Ukraine then see Donald Trump her bittle rival Hillary Clinton receive the Nobel

Peace Prize do you think she's that diabolical? Diabolical! Are you really asking a question like what kind of a question is that I mean you're talking about a person that you talk about a person that 2016, do you know what happened to her? She said, happy birthday future president to herself. Well that's just an egomaniac right there. She thought she was going to win.

But that's different from being diabolical.

Oh I know, this woman is on a whole different level. Never underestimate the power of a, not, you know, there she is. This is, this is Hillary Clinton.

I know we want to move on.

You know how highly she thinks of herself. This is a week before the election. She wished herself a happy birthday and then she lost. You think she's ever going to forget the state? No, she's not going to forget.

I mean, listen, every politician is a narcissist in some capacity. She's not like that. Hi guys, I'm with you. By the way, just side note, what percentage of the stories we hear about Hillary, she did this, she did this, do you think are actually true?

10, 20, 50, 100.

Let me put it to you this way. If 25% is true, it's bad. 5% is true, it's bad. It's like when we had Gianni Russo here, it's like, what? You slept with Madonna? You did this? It's like, if half the stories you say are true, you're the man. So, she's that big of a psychopath.

I don't know, but we'll see. Let's go to the next story. By the way, Hunter Biden made a few comments about Melania Trump. Melania Trump threatens to sue Hunter Biden for billion dollars false defamatory allegations linking her to Jeffrey Epstein. And Rob, do you have the comments that he made about her? Is this the one that he made?

So this is the original comment that Hunter Biden made and then I also have Hunter Biden's

reaction to the lawsuit.

Okay, go for it.

Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are like so wide and deep. Anyway, why do we think they don't want the files released? I don't know. I think John, you know, that that that thing that John Holland says is like a long time ago, I think there are accurate kind of assessment of them, which is everything is projection or confession, everything. So when he puts out that tweet, he says Epstein now is the

Russia hoax or the Hunter Biden laptop, laptop from hell which the Democrats or had sword came from Russia No, it came from hunter Biden's bathroom. Like I wonder if it works. Do you know what I mean?

What do you so so that's that he makes that comment, right? And then Melania and her lawyers sue Hunter for a billion dollars.

Or do they threaten him, Pat?

Let me know. They threatened to sue him for a billion dollars. And then after they threaten him. Channel 5 Callahan goes because I think they're living together, him and Hunter. I don't know if they are. It looks like they are.

That's allegedly.

So then here's the question that's asked and this is what Hunter had to say. Go ahead. Yes, this Andrew Callahan, just for reference,

Andrew Callahan asks Hunter if he wants to apologize to Melania. So now we're here maybe

to give you the platform to apologize to the first lady for your statements that you made about her possible connection to Jeffrey Epstein? Uh, fuck that.

That's not going to happen.

Fuck quack, fuck quack, fuck Eddie, fuck that.

Fuck the language, fuck the language. What are we doing?

Okay, so, all right, so there you have it. Hunter, Melania, Adam, your thoughts on this story?

So this is, welcome to Gossip Girl girl crackhead edition because if you know anything about how Donald Trump met Melania it's actually a pretty straightforward story. I don't know if you know this but Melania is a pretty attractive woman That's not her that's Hillary Clinton, and she was a gorgeous model, and they were attending an event at New York Fashion Week I believe in 1998 and I'm not sure if you know about Trump, but there's one thing he likes other than deals It's a hot chicks. So he shows up. He sees her He's actually with another date and he's like, excuse me. Who's this lady over here? Asked for her number. She says no and then she says here give me your number

I'll call you if I'm interested. So that's how they met what Hunter Biden is doing. Didn't wasn't he pardoned for anything he did. Wasn't there some auto pen situation? And he was pardoned from 2014. It's almost like, remember in middle school and you get like a hall pass and it's like, you can go and go around, go wherever you want and you're like, I'm the coolest kid in the world.

I got a hall pass. I feel like that's what Hunter Biden has right now. He has this hall pass of this immunity of some capacity. We can just say whatever the hell he wants to say. Cursing like a sailor. And we know how we feel about that around here, guys. No bueno. And he's just saying the most outlandish things like a shock jock. It's almost like he's trying to become a shock jock podcaster. The last thing I'll say about Hunter Biden is who's gonna carry the Biden legacy moving forward? It's not Joe Biden.

I mean, this guy's 8000 years old. Joe Biden is going to fade away after he passes away. Beau Biden, who was like the quote unquote, good son, he died. Ashley Biden, she's nowhere to be seen. So you're left with Hunter, the crack crackhead artist and he's carrying the He's he's Bali and there's another clip at like he's that it doesn't seem to me like he's backing down He's saying that he's gonna be the tip of the spear for everybody. And the pardons, Adam, have nothing to do with this.

These are new allegations. This is post. Whatever he does from this point on, he's not protected at all. He sits there smug and he's happy, but this is a huge, huge hole that he's digging himself into, and this is his attitude about if the people want it, he's gonna keep going for it.

You're right, what I'm saying is the confidence that nothing I've done in the past I can get in trouble for, so let me focus on now.

He's not gonna get in trouble for saying ridiculous things.

Oh no no. That's what people do on the internet. Well that's what crack cocaine does to your brain because I'm pretty sure. Is that his fentanyl? sure the people are telling him like his team because mind you does he's I don't think he has Secret Service protection but I'm pretty sure he has security and lawyers and everybody. Bro these are huge claims and a billion dollar lawsuit obviously he doesn't have a billion dollars but that'll clean him dry.

Rob can you please play this clip bro?

I want to go through the process they know that it's gonna cost an enormous amount of money to do it. And so you know that's the only thing that I got to figure out, you know, we got to get, we got to figure out how we're going to pay for it. Here's what I'm saying to the American people is if you want to know the origin and the nature of the relationship between Donald Trump, Melania Trump, and which I, which I have no personal knowledge of, I can only go by what has been reported Okay, but if you want to know that nature then we let's let's all go figure it out together the connection I'll be the point of the tip of the spear for you

We got to figure out how that we're gonna pay for it

Wow, it's amazing to him you realize where he got his genetics from and and and who talks like him his pops Yeah, so I don't know I think if I'm If I'm Joe Biden, and I'm watching these clips. What am I thinking dude keep your mouth shut? Be quiet Go away Hang out with your girls do what you're doing You're not helping with anything that I have going on with the last few years of legacy

Nothing you think Joe wakes up in the morning and every time he sees stuff like this or even Jill more than Joe Yes, took. Oh my god. Can you tell you know hunter to just be quiet and go away and not talk about this kind of stuff What is he doing? He's he's hurting us with the last couple years that we got left. He got left So, I don't know. I don't know what he's doing here. I don't know the allegations, the stuff. Maybe he's trying to get some attention that he's got going on there. But you know, I'm looking at more from the perspective of Joe Biden. I think it's too much.

But do you? And I'm not being funny. I'm not trying to be funny. I don't think Joe Biden is even there. Jill is though. Jill, you know that.

Yeah. You don't think Joe Biden is just completely confident? I think Jill is in. Jill is in. You're out of control, Vinny.

You say some outlandish things. No, I agree with that. Joe Biden, the vegetable? I think Jill is trying to protect the legacy the same way we saw her protecting him on stage, the same way we heard that she was trying to do things in the White House. I think Jill Biden looks at this and is like, your father's legacy is at stake, I think she's the projector. I think you're right. Yeah. And you think they don't want her to him to talk? No,

hell no. I actually disagree with you guys. No, because other than okay, hear me out. Hear me out. Hear me out. Other than Hunter Biden. Yeah. Can you name one person that is defending the

Biden legacy at this point? Kareem jump here.

This is not the

don't defend me like different. You're talking about political allies versus.

You want to be defended like that? I don't want to be defended like that.

The point is nobody else is defending him. Karine Jean-Pierre, who was the biggest progressive Democrat I've ever seen, is now an independent.

People jumped off the Biden ship because it was a titanic. Let me tell you, I'm at a meeting. And this is the crackhead who's defending him. I'm at a meeting. They're actually appreciating. There is a person that edifies you. Let's just say somebody edifies you. There's different ways of edification. You're in front of a crowd of thousands of people and one person comes up and they say something like this.

Let me tell you guys about Patrick and I. This is why I like a hold of him. He's responsive so fast. He's busier than anybody I do business with, but he always calls me back. And he kept his word. There were moments we went through challenging times. He'll push you, he's this, he's that.

But I have so much respect for the way I've done business with him. This is why we continue to do business, and it was bring up Patrick Bedevin. That's edification. Let me give you the other one. Oh my God, Patrick has changed my life in a way that if it wasn't for him, I have to tell you I would have been this and he is the closest thing to God and Jesus. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, That's the what you know sometimes sometimes edification is I'll look at Vinny and I'll say listen Let me put it to this way. I can listen to Vinny for hours. I'm never bored He sincerely is this funny 24 7 my kids love him

I haven't met anybody doesn't doesn't like this guy if you're somebody that doesn't like Vinny Manek me Okay, and tell me about it. I've yet to meet one person. Period.

Pat, you just got manect from me.

No, I'm just kidding. But my point here is there is a levels to edifying somebody. Some people edify in a way that is so fake, like when you did it yesterday, sincere, we're talking, we're there, but sometimes you're like, ah, dude, that's not the way to do it. So I don't want to be at a fight like this. I don't want to be lifted up like this. The way I want to be lifted,

like if a person complimented Joe Biden, like this would be one way to say, say what you want to say about Joe. We can all agree about the fact that maybe the debate wasn't this, maybe this wasn't this, but maybe that wasn't this. Look, here's what I can tell you behind closed doors, always dressed nice, Was always respectful to me was always good to me, you know was always fair with me And I don't know what the legacy they're gonna write about it But I definitely hope that the history books show the fact that he was fair that I read about it. That's what I

That's proper edification. You don't want somebody had to find you like this Well, I let's go to the next but this is all they got let's well, that's pretty bad. So I don't tell him to go retire. All right, so let's talk about ICE. More than 100,000 Americans apply to join ICE. Apply to join ICE. Think about it. To help deport illegal aliens. Do you know what happened after 9-11?

So many people joined what?

Police department.

The police department and military. You joined the police. I was in during it and then they did stop laws where we couldn't even leave and people were joining left and right. But there's a lot of people that would join because they're like, I'm going to go fight for my country.

Right now, Americans are saying, I want to go clean up the border. 100,000 Americans applied to join the ICE, 12 local arrests and deport illegal aliens. As Department of Homeland Security officials reported following a recruitment effort by Trump's administration the campaign includes and At campaign and a $50,000 signing bonus for new recruits damn DHS secretary Chrissy Noem stated our country is calling you to serve at ice in the wake and of the Biden administration failing good immigration policies our country needs dedicated men and women of

Ice to get the worst of worst of the criminals out of the country. No ICE recruits are offered student loan repayment, forgiveness options, a 25% law enforcement availability pay for Homeland Security investigations, special agents, premium overtime payments for enforcement and removal operations, deportation officers and enhanced retirement benefits. Okay? So that's what they said. The bill also

includes more than $46 billion for new border wall construction, $45 billion for ICE detention space, $10 billion reimbursed for states who covered border security costs under Joe Biden, and $3.5 billion for Department of Justice

to issue grants to local governments who help locate and arrest illegal aliens, among other funding measures, okay? There was a clip of Mayor Bass losing it over ice, but Rogan, Joe Rogan rips ice raids. He says, great, you're going to get rid of landscapers.

Okay, Rob, I don't know if you have the Rogan clip. We'll come back to the Bass one. Joe Rogan criticized the Trump administration with great raids on Joe Rogan explained publicly protest stemmed from a visceral reaction to officers pulling people out of schools and pulling people out of the Home Depot and pulling people out, pulling people that were just hardworking people.

He argued that voters expected the removal of violent criminals, not ordinary workers saying when people thought about ice, they thought, great, we're going to get rid of the gang members. They that they think, great, you're going to get rid of the gang members that they think, great, you're going to get rid of landscapers. Rogan Prest, if this is the clip that you have, Rob. Yep.

Okay, go for it. All of a sudden these like pop-up riots, I actually call them the Timu riots. Like this is a Chinese funded group.

And what they're doing is they're using that front in an effort to then divide on that topic as well. I absolutely believe this is true, that I'm sure other countries fund similar things, but also it was in reaction to some of the ICE raids and pulling people out of schools and pulling people out of Home Depot. When people thought about ICE, they thought, great, we're going to get rid of the gang members. They didn't think, great, you're going to get rid of a landscaper.

Go, gang, go! This is what Ron?

This is just B-roll footage of the, but that's the competition.

This is LA?

Yes.

Crazy.

We were just there a couple of days ago. This is, this is not the same LA. You can pause it right there. Okay. So ice, ice raids, 100,000 people signing up. You're getting rid of landscapers.

Vinny, your thoughts on this story?

I think like, well, well, first and foremost, let's, let's say what, what the actual problem is. Okay. This is the Biden administration let in. How many?

What's the number? I hear Tom Homan said 10 million. So let's set the floor. There could be more. Let's say 10 to 20. Let's go in the middle of that. OK. And now Trump, just like everything else, just like with Russia,

just like with the border, just like with crime, Trump has to come in and clean everything up. All right. It's like this is the analogy. All right. The Biden administration through this wild party, okay? They opened the doors, Tom. Everybody came in the house. Criminals, they're spray painting, they're killing. Girls were raped at the party. People are dead, okay?

Now the cops show up. Everybody's showing up at them. The maids, everybody's cleaning up, and you're getting mad at the cops and the maids. I'm sorry. And there's a misconception, about how there could be a way that if you've been here for 10 years or 5 years and you've been paying taxes and all that stuff

Even though Trump made it seem like he's gonna get rid of everybody say what you want Trump Trump is saying exactly what he said Okay, but there's a misconception that they're just walking in the schools and grabbing people the majority of these raids Adam would say that they're looking for 30 people 19 of them have arrest warrants. They were DUI, they have felony charges, and they're just getting rid of them. I apologize, I am so sorry.

If you're here illegally, the first thing you did to come here was break the law, so when he's doing this wide grab and they're trying to get everybody, I'm sorry. Some of these people who are still illegal are going to get rounded up. And it sucks, it sucks sucks but he ran on it. If you don't like it then you shouldn't have voted for him because that's what I voted for. I voted for getting these people out of here that are illegal because how much times we keep hearing sanctuary city

this sanctuary city that all the money has gone to these people. Yes there needs to be an adjustment but Trump said he was going to do it and he's doing it and that's it.

I love the recruitment. You know the US Armed Forces, police locally, they've been running programs like this to recruit forever. There have been programs that ran right after 9-11. There's programs that run where you know the army feels that they're below their target, so they put some programs out there. So they're putting a program out here, and what are they doing? They're not recruiting a militia. They're recruiting the permanent staff that is going to stand watch and control our closed border. We've closed the border, now we're getting more staff

that's going to be there, and yes we're going to continue the removal of people that have a criminal record. The people that they went after, you know, had criminal records, but there was also visual footage that looked bad and the mainstream media was more than happy to say That's an innocent man in the middle of a field being taken out, you know, did that happen? I don't know

But there was a lot of evidence that they were going after people that had criminal records who were already here illegally and then Did China fund it have Soros? Organizations funded some of these protests? Yes! Yes! The allegation, I believe the allegations. So when I say yes, I'm saying I believe the allegations that other people that don't agree with Trump are helping to fund, make the protest even worse

about immigration. I think the average American, if you look on policy by policy, they like what's going on with a Lot of the policies that Trump has made but they didn't like what was going on visually With all the footage. It's like hey, I like the border being closed. I like the fact that we're Vinny cleaning people back, but then they would see some of the footage and go that kind of looks kind of bad

Yeah, and it look and again again Tom, sometimes it does look bad, but just to make my point, a lot of these people were talking about the ICE raid that they did on August 6th. The border patrol grabbed 16 illegals in Westlake Home Depot in LA. Records showed six of them, okay, 16, six of them had criminal histories including a Nicaraguan charged with felony theft in April, a Guatemalan with a prior LAPD arrest for DUI with great bodily injury, he almost

killed somebody in an accident, a Guatemalan ICE fugitive with a 2014 deportation order and 3 previously deported Guatemalans who illegally came back in during Biden. I get it, it looks bad guys, it looks bad. But if you ask for it, now you got it. The word illegal. People keep missing the point. Guys, we all came here legally.

Your family came here legally. My mom and dad, my grand, they all came here legally. Okay. Besides the fact that, you know what, let's say out of a hundred of them, five of them rape and murder and everything, who Adam, you want to talk about pardons?

Nothing's ever going to happen to that guy. He's sitting at home smiling his butt off because he opened the door and let this problem is because of that Biden administration. So this all lies on them, period. End of story. Remember the clip that was like, hide your wife, hide your kids, because they're out here raping everybody. I feel like that, this guy right here, thank you Rob.

I feel like that is sort of the narrative.

You want to play this?

No, no, keep going.

I feel like that's sort of the narrative with the illegal immigrants. But sometimes when you want to make an anomaly, And a couple crackheads, but the reality is this why are people joining ice? How many people are applying ten hundred thousand Americans have applied to join ice good. That's amazing good, okay? I want to be how many people don't want to be police officers anymore How many people stopped wanted to be fired on down in California over there? So I think it's a very good thing that you want to serve your country

What are the main three reasons that an American want to serve ICE? Number one, it's a job. It's a career. AI ain't going to replace you. You're going to have a job for sure. You're going to have money benefits. What are they giving?

$50,000 signing bonuses.

Maybe I'll join. Who knows?

Number two, um, you want to serve your country straight up. And we talked about why someone would join the CIA. It's like, bro, you gotta be insane. Peter Thiel's under there. It's like, they're doing this because they genuinely wanna serve their country for national security purposes and to help the country out.

Number three, and I think this goes for both sides, they genuinely feel like they're doing the right thing. This is what I, the people that are protesting against ICE feel very passionately that they're doing the right thing. The people that are joining ICE are feeling passionately that they're doing the right

thing. You know, this is a two-part thing, right? One is Joe saying that they're coming after the landscaper. So the one thing why Joe is loved is because Joe has a soft, you know, he has a heart. Empathy. Empathy. You know He has a heart empathy empathy That is the reason why he's so he has the empathy and he can kill you, right?

So he's got that combination of how he's the gentle guy that also has a heart when he sees things like this Story comes out here. Secretary. Noam announces 1.6 million illegal aliens. This is yesterday or today This is few hours ago 1.6 million illegal aliens have left. This is yesterday or today. This is a few hours ago. 1.6 million illegal aliens have left. This is self deported in the first hundred days as secretary in the U S has seen a decline of 1.6 million illegal aliens across the country.

So watch this Q 20 Q one 2021 Biden, 10.2 next year, your lady,.4. Next year, 12.6. Next year, 40 million. Next year, 16 million, right? And that from 15.8 million to 14.2 million, 1.6 million out. Now, they're saying ICE has only been able to get how many?

We've heard the number. How many people have ICE gotten themselves? It's 100,000. It's not a big number. It's less than two hundred Yeah, it's less than two hundred thousand But guess what the the advertisement the messaging all of that a lot of people like screw this I'm going back to Mexico

Don't even worry about coming and getting me. I'm gonna go back to my family So the 1.6 million that have self-deported is a part of That's the number. Yeah ice has removed in the first 100 days was 65, 66,000. Not a big number when you think about that. So let's say it's 100,000 that they actually got. But say 1.6 million self-deported.

That means they did that. That's a part of what they did. So to those that are sitting here saying, well, you know what, what about this and what about that guys?

You this was his top three issue was the border he ran on this in 16 build the damn wall

He's been saying this for nine years that this is what he's gonna be doing

Okay, and guess what happened a moment. He came in people coming through the border went to zero

Nobody is even wanted to come here anymore. It's like illegally, no. Legally, God willing, I'm gonna wait to see how I can end up coming here. But to me, I believe the number one most important thing anybody and everybody thinks about when it comes down to family, kids, is safety.

It's the S word. Keep me safe, keep me secure. If you can't do that, I'm it's safety. It's the S word. Keep me safe, keep me secure. If you can't do that, I'm not with it. It's the same exact thing he's doing in DC. Like when you see this Mayor Bass of LA saying something like this, this is her by the way, watch her reaction.

Look how she reacts. Watch her rage.

I cannot believe that this just happened to be a coincidence.

There is no way this was a coincidence. This was widely publicized that the governor and many of our other elected officials were having a press conference here to talk about redistricting, and they decided they were gonna come and thumb their nose in front of the governor's face.

Why would you do that? That is unbelievably disrespectful. It's a provocative act. They're talking about disorder in Los Angeles, and they are the source of the disorder in Los Angeles

Who believes this is a people like people in California in LA So the guy behind her definitely believes it with that haircut of it So when you when you think about when you think about what Newsom said yesterday with the redistricting? Let me let me go to that one because she commented on that. So they had a meeting, they've been wanting to redistrict in a while and his words were it's over for California.

Okay, I think there was a quote, I got to find it to see which one it is. Rob, what clip do you have about the new statement he made about redistricting California?

Right here, this is what he says Donald Trump's plans are and why he wants redistricting so much. Go for it.

Wake up, America. Wake up. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will have a president running for a third term. Mark my word. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that I received in the mail a Trump 2028 hat from one of his

biggest supporters. These guys are not screwing around. The rules do not apply to him. The most corrupt president in history. Doesn't believe in free enterprise, crony capitalism. He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. Lies. He's a lawless president.

Lies. Wake up, America. Wake up to what's going on. How many lies, hold on, Adam, dead serious. How many lies did he just say factually in that statement? Lawless, the economy sucks. By the way, Rob, the one that I sent you the image, he's, I'm telling you right now, remember I made the bet with Sam Seder, the most handsome guy in the world, that he said that he was going to be the front runner? He's going gonna be the front runner, he's gonna be the front runner.

And just that, Rob, that foot right there. Pat, when you look at this, this is the, and this is it, this is the presidential look that he's going for and he's completely full of crap. And when you ask who's buying it, who's buying the Carambaz?

By the way, I'm shocked she's even in the country not on vacation when shit's going haywire. I'm shocked. I am shocked that they're doing it. But you said it, Adam. I'm sorry, Pat, you did. The scariest thing is, he's not losing any support. Those people standing out there in California are like, yeah, yeah, and they're still going

to vote for them even though their city, their state is going down. I can't even say it.

Let me tell you one thing I know for sure, California is not America. We just came back from LA and Pat did the debate, the Jubilee thing.

Wow.

I couldn't believe it. These people are so far gone. Oh my God. That there's no, they can't be redeemed. Now let me qualify this. They're actually smart.

They're not idiots. They're well-read, they're educated, They have strong opinions. They got the vernacular. They know what's going on, but they're fighting the wrong fight. And they're defending the wrong people. And there's no switching these people. So if you're Gavin Newsom now, that's your audience. Gavin Newsom still is the governor of California. That's his first priority. Yes, he wants to be president of the United States one day, obviously like that. he's... that's his audience, that's his megaphone, so he's saying the things that

the people in California want to hear. These people are so far gone, they're not redeemable. Thank God that there's common-sense people in the Midwest, in

the Bible Belt, in Florida, that are like, dude, save your crap for a person. There's a lot of common-sense people in California, that's the reason they've been planning the redistricting before anybody else was talking about redistricting because they freaked out about the compositional change to California after the election. And so he's out there rage baiting.

He's out there the dog whistle to his followers. He's out there headline chasing and he's trying to posture himself and he's got no he really has no record to run on. You look at the fires, look at the economy, you look at the job loss, you look at California's tax, you look at what's going on, you look at the controversies that are having over what appears to be a land grab in the Palisades that's being done legislatively with laws and you see a man without a country. Also, the minute he steps

east of Las Vegas, the Democrat polls are different. J.B. Pritzker has got tremendous support. And so this primary is not in a FedEx being sent to Sacramento that says, hey man, see you in February 28. You know, here it is and it's your size. It's tailored for you. Come on, baby. The water's warm.

That's not what Gavin Newsom's about to find. JB Pritzker and the DNC are really not with Gavin Newsom. That part's going to be fun to watch, but you can see what they're after right now. Trump's going to lose a midterm presidency ends in 17 minutes and Speaker Jeffrey's back. Their focus is on the midterms and they were going to redistrict California anyway. It's happening in plain sight. And no, they're not dumb.

They're very shrewd, but they're, look, they think we're evil. Liberals think conservatives are evil. We just think they're wrong and we want to process it.

Honestly.

Tom, everything you said, I agree.

I agree. You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right.

The only thing I'll give you a caveat on, you said Gavin Newsom has no record to run on. That doesn't matter. The only thing that they have to run on is he's not Trump. Trump is evil. Bad, bad, bad.

That won't work today. Yeah, so by the way, if they redistrict the way they want to redistrict, okay right now they got a 43-9 lead Okay, and remember what house, you know midterms around the corner So this redistricting is purely for midterms to see who's gonna get bumped out. It looks like Crockett is gone So now Rob, can you pull up who are the nine Republican House of Representatives in the state of California? Who are the nine House of Republican? representatives

Yeah in California? See which one of these guys are a threat. Like who is actually a formidable name that gets in the way out of all the names? Daryl Issa, okay. He's a stud. He's a stud.

Ken Calvert, Young Kim, Jay, David, Vince Fong. Is that a rapper? Young Kim. Tom, you know who Vince Fong is?

Yeah, we met him.

We met him.

Yep.

He's like, yeah, the Asian.

He's like Kevin McCarthy.

Yeah, Vince Fong is in Central Valley around Bakersfield.

Took Kevin McCarthy's seat. That's right. So Tom McClintock, Kevin McCarthy. So all of these guys are targeted. That's what they're gonna redistrict

Four or five of these guys are gonna lose their jobs

So four or five lose their jobs. It has nothing to do with California because California is already 43 to 9 It's about what the majority the house go Rob go to see the split right now How many Dems and how many Republicans have like the percentage of controlling the house? What is the number? Do you know what the numbers are? I know Republicans are up by how many then maybe give or take. It's not a big number. It's not like they're up 40. The score is a very close score. What is the number? Let's see here. So if you look at this, you got what? Two 19 to two 17. So check this out.

So if he's able to, Oh yeah. So if he's able to flip four in California, you know what that does? Add four to Democrats, which is 216, take four away from Democrats, which is 215, Democrats now control the house. If Abbott does redistricting, which they just got approved by the Senate, even though the other nine people didn't vote, they go and they do flip five.

So that's the five, four plus minus one goes to Republicans. But who else will be doing that? DeSantis is talking about being able to do it in Florida, but in Florida, they can't do it dramatically like some of these other places can do it with these weird salamander type of stuff that they're doing. Because of sensible law somebody did a hundred years ago in Florida.

That's right years ago in Florida. That's right. So the reality of it is the Democrat and Newsom is trying to say I'm gonna do and you know in a way He's saying destroy the Republican Party for many years to come if he does this he's putting the onus now on Trump But again Newsom is a professional politician and he knows what he's doing here So a part of this story is the ICE, a part of this is redistricting. Rob, make sure Humberto makes this into two clips, not just one clip.

Of what happened with the... because I'm looking at 21 minutes, but... Let's make a note of that so Humberto knows this. Alright, let's go to the next one. Just a couple days ago... The president of Mexico, Scheinbaum... When the president, White House says hey We're gonna be going and to clean house in Mexico because they're looking for certain cartel members

She said there's no way you can do this There's no way you can come over here and thought I'd add all this stuff, right? And I don't know if you have that or not Rob is this it? Yeah, she wasn't for us doing any of it go to play this clip. a couple of days ago. We cooperate, we collaborate, but there will be no invasion.

She called it an invasion.

That is discarded, absolutely discarded. In addition, they have expressed it in all calls that it is not allowed or part of any agreement much less. When they have come to raise it, we have always said no, that we can collaborate in another

way.

Okay. So she says that. A couple of days days later guess what Mexico sends 26 cartel members to us in deal with Trump administration okay, and She made his job actually easier. This is a lot easier if you send it to us Then us having to go and get it

So this story is the 26 high-ranking cartel figures to the US on Tuesday including Abigail Gonzales Valencia leader of the Los Cunos, allied with Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the CJNG, and Roberto Salazar, wanted for the 2008 killing of LA County Sheriff Deputy as part of a deal with Trump administration to combat drug smuggling. Mexican Security Minister Omar Garcia Harfook stated at a Wednesday news conference, these transfers are not only a strategic measure to ensure public safety,

but also reflect a firm determination to prevent these criminals from continuing to operate from within prisons to break up their networks of influence. Rob, can you play this clip? ...Jalisco and Noreste cartels to the U.S.

That also includes one suspect who is accused of participating in the 2008 killing of a Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy. Attorney General Pam Bondi writing, quote, these 26 men have all played a role in bringing violence and drugs to American shores.

Under this Department of Justice, they will face severe consequences

for their crimes against this country. From what I'm reading, these 26 individuals,

cartel members or leaders, I believe that the U S promised to seek the death penalty

in order as part of the deal to get them here. What's Mexico's, what is their incentive to

send those folks here? Well, if you remember when the Trump administration designated the cartels as a foreign terrorist organization, obviously the Mexican government got incredibly nervous about that because that gives incredible power to the US government to pursue the cartels. So the Mexican government is now cooperating with the US government because it does not want US forces going into Mexico to take care of the cartels, which have been a direct threat and have been terrorizing Americans

and which this administration is clearly not going to tolerate it. So what I find encouraging about this is the collaboration now between the U.S. government and the Mexican government, so that, you know, the Mexican government doesn't get any more

of the direct kind of attention from from the Trump administration

yeah a major win for the Trump administration because

The last place these 26 cartel leaders who would want to be is in US custody and our relationship with Mexico is unique

So when you hear that story white Tom, why wouldn't they want us to go grab the cartels out of Mexico? That are causing havoc in their country. Is it because they are owned and controlled by the cartels out of Mexico that are causing havoc in their country? Is it because they are owned and controlled by the cartels? Is it because they're afraid of the cartels? Why is that?

I think you just hit on it. Everything that's, there's been alarm bells going off in my head when I read this. I said, okay, this must mean, because we see what happens in the election, you know, they, they kill candidates, they kill judges. It's still happening. And the cartels have tremendous influence and control

over parts of the Mexican government. And I think, remember, some of these guys were already in jail. Some of these guys had already been, you know, captured and captured with US assistance. So remember, these 26, this follows the 29 that were sent to us in February.

This is now 55. And so I think that some of the cartels that are controlling the Mexican government are giving up guys that are in prison because they don't want the US military coming across the border and disrupting on a wide scale. Because watch, which is operating, Vinny check this out, which is operating and which is not operating. The guys in prison have influence, maybe they call shots, but they're not really operating.

The guys on the ground are operating. They're operating everything they've got. Human trafficking, the drug manufacturing, they're operating everything they've got, human trafficking, the drug manufacturing, they're operating all that. The minute we come across the border and we put raids, we disrupt operations.

Meanwhile, they just take 26 guys out of prison who may be calling the shots, but they're not operating. Do you see where I'm going? So I think the cartels are like, man, we do not want the US military coming across here and busting up the stuff that we got going right now.

We can't have this. And I think there's this very delicate detente and a negotiation where I believe the cartels have influence and said, you know what? These guys are in jail. Kind of screwed.

We're not going to get them out of jail. If they get released, the US is going to freak out anyway. Why don't we just send these 26 over the same way we sent 25 over in February? I think it's that way. I don't think this is the Mexican government standing up and being all noble and purely law and order stance and looking forward and protecting its citizens. I don't think that's the story here. Vinny. Well, I think, by the way, she came out of nowhere. Do you guys remember running up to that election from 2018 to 2024? I believe 87 mayors were killed, beheaded and everything from the cartels or whoever in Mexico. And then she gets put in. So there's, I feel my opinion

that there's, you know, there she's the one that they want to be in there. I don't know all the details. I'm not really that deep into Mexican politics in Mexico, but Tom, 26 individuals here that are going to be in our prisons. I did the math.

That's cost per year for let's say 30 years, they're going to be in here, not the ones that they execute, $65,000. So we're talking about the American taxpayer is going to be paying roughly $31 million to $51 million to have these people here to take care of them for the rest of their lives, not including medical costs or this or that. Why are we taking them? Why can't they just deal with these problems, keep them themselves, and hold their foot

to the fire in terms of justice, according to them, it's 55 lowered homicide by 25% of Mexico. Can you verify this, Rob? If Dave, if a shine bomb has lowered homicide in Mexico by 25%, apparently they have now again, that's their data. I don't know.

They're saying they have, but why do we need to, why should we like, can't they put them in jail and do what, why, why, why do we need to take them in and take care of these people? Not the ones that are gonna get the chair because we're going for the death penalty Especially ones that are trying to kill or have killed cops. What why can't they just keep them in their prison? Well, I'm still confused on why do we have to take these white? Why are they cutting all 26 of these people? They cut a deal. And to do what with the, what can't they, if the guy killed a cop or killed whatever,

can't they give him the death penalty there? I'm coming across and I'm gonna do this myself. And they're like, we don't want Trump to do that. Just take the bodies yourself. Here, I'll give you 29 guys in February, I'll give you 26 here, that's 55.

Take them, fill them full of sodium pentothal, Pentethol make them sit naked on a hibachi get their attention and get all the information you want from them You don't think there's probably some of that going on. Okay. Okay. We're good at that. I got you Okay

So this is this is like a drug like we're not gonna come and invade in her first year approximately 11 months shine bomb has achieved a 25.3% reduction in daily homicides which fell from eighty six point nine percent to eighty six point nine a day to Sixty four point nine This marks the lowest levels since 2015 So she's doing some to give her credit. She's doing something about it as well With numbers and Rob, is it true? We don't have a military base in Mexico

I don't think we can you check that we don't have a moment in this one Yeah, I mean look I if if if you think about one of the issues top 20 issues Trump 247 you know what was well, yeah, we don't have a military base in Mexico kid. I make sense. So if you look at the If you look at one of the issues that Trump ran on was what border on squared away. He's doing it ice $50,000 hundred thousand people already signed up. What's another thing that he signed up that he said he was gonna do? Top 20. Fentanyl. Oh yeah. Okay this is the Fentanyl. Promise. This is what they're doing to say we promised you we're gonna

go after Fentanyl. We're doing it. We're gonna find out who's behind it and we're

gonna put him out. Adam your thoughts on the story. Yeah I country in the world I'm trying to go visit. Oh my God. Why would you say that about Mexico? It's our neighbor. Uh, not safe. Just straight up. You talk about why, why, what the most, uh, high priority of a family has taking care of their kids is safety, safety, safety. You call it the S word, right? Yeah. Uh, here are the most dangerous countries in the Western hemisphere. We know what happened in El Salvador. we know what's going on in Venezuela, Jamaica, Honduras, Ecuador, Guatemala, shout out to Mexico, shout out to Mario the Mexican,

but those are the list of countries. The most dangerous cities? Just cities.

At least goes up there?

Oh my, it's all Mexico. The top 10, 9 of the top 10. Colima, Mexico, Ciudad Obregon, Mexico, Zamora, Mexico, Manzillo, Mexico, Manzanillo, Mexico, Tijuana, Mexico, Ciudad Juarez, throwing a little Port-au-Prince Haiti in there. The most dangerous cities you could possibly go visit. Now I know everybody in Miami is like, I'm going to Tulum. Stay in Tulum, bro. Don't leave Tulum, all those cities, you will get decapitated. By the way, little fun fact, there's a couple cities in the United States that are close to the top 10.

Jackson, Mississippi, Memphis, Tennessee, clean it up boys, Baltimore, Chicago, but they all pale in comparison

to what the hell is going on in Mexico. Yeah, there's a lot of weird stories. Rob, did you see the story of the Mexican influencer, 23 year old girl who was on a live stream? And she said if anybody's gonna do anything to me, it's gonna be my ex and she's getting don't play the video But yeah, but if I'm gonna if any anyone's gonna do anything to me, it's gonna be my ex and she's getting a gift

apparently a she's getting a gift while she's getting the gift and She gets killed top member the brutal how disco Nueva The whole CJ NG and is also suspected murdering of Venezuela model in 2000 her body was found dumped in a sewage canal this happened the story of this 23 year old

Marquess was shot on May 13th Yeah, she was shot on May 13 this model right here in Mexico because she got a Gucci purse or a Louis Vuitton purse from somebody else and it was one of the fans that sent it to her. And he wasn't too happy about it.

But apparently the murders are actually up by over 700 deaths. So again, you nailed it.

You don't know.

That's numbers that we're getting.

We don't know the stats. We don't know the data. We don't know the data. Be careful if you go to Mexico. Yeah. Especially if you look like this. Or like this. If you look like that, there's other places I would send you.

Oye gringo, yo quiero tu dinero.

I should think you would fare well in Thailand.

Oh.

No, my friends there are doing some dirty work out there. I think you would fare well over there so out to our buddy. That's out there. Yeah, so let's talk about another story something That's very sentimental to Vinnie net now who offers Iran water Iran water crisis help if regime removed amid Shortage so apparently in is resisted Rob. Yes, sir. Go ahead. I mean, he's just go ahead Rob

and Action for the water. Oh, he's And action. Pour the water.

Oh, he's trolling.

Today I'm going to make an unprecedented offer to Iran. It relates to water. The Iranian people are victims of a cruel and tyrannical regime that denies them vital water. Israel stands with the people of Iran, and that is why I want to help save countless Iranian lives. Here's how. Iran's meteorological organization says that nearly 96% of Iran suffers from some levels of drought.

Issa Kalantari, a former Iranian agriculture minister, said that 50 million Iranians could be forced out of their homes due to environmental damage. 50 million. Millions of Iranian children are suffering due to mismanagement, to incompetence, and the theft of vital resources by the Iranian regime. Now Israel also has water challenges.

We've developed cutting-edge technologies to address them. Israel recycles nearly 90% of its wastewater. That's far more than any other country on earth We invented drip irrigation our technology targets Individual plants with exactly the nutrients they need for each plant

Israel has the know-how to prevent environmental catastrophe in Iran. So I want to share this right there so by the way, he's going he's going about it to kind of a You know get the people of Iran against the government which totally makes sense But this has also happened and a part of this story is true Because as you read this story Iranian president Massoud Pezeshkian

warned of severe water shortages with Reuters reporting that Iran could face critical shortages as Soon as next month worsened by five years of drought and poor resource management as seen at the Amir Kabir Dam near Tehran. Okay? So there is credibility on what's going on with Iran and the water story. However, the president responds back and he mocks Netanyahu over pledge of help in water

crisis. He says, he mocked Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, offered to help to have Iran water crisis, stating on X, a regime that deprives Gaza of water and food, now says it will bring water to Iran. A mirage, nothing more.

Okay, so he is retweeted at to say he's not trying to help us, he's just kind of given a little bit of a troll work here. First look at the difficult situation of Gaza and defenseless people, especially children who are struggling because of hunger lack of access of Potable water and medicine because of a siege by the brutal regime. He ream his remarks Responding at now's Tuesday video after promising Israeli water Expects experts would assist Iran once its current regime is replaced per the Jerusalem Post

Pesachion Responds saying we do not have a what we do not have water We do not have water under our feet and we do not have water behind our dams So you tell me what we do he described the situation as we are in a serious and unimaginable crisis Noting his administration is consulting experts to find solutions. So the water crisis is real.

Netanyahu is trolling. Masoud responds, bring it in Gaza. Tom, your thoughts on the story?

Well they were actually offering a high-tech solution. I don't know if you know this, Vinny. Basically, they told them, we're going to let you know when the water's going to be there, and you'll get a signal on this pager. Everyone take one.

Show off when the pager goes off.

Everybody takes one. So, no, I think, so let's face it, there's grandstanding going on both sides of this, because Netanyahu sounds like he was doing a UN climate speech. If you listen to that, close your eyes and just picture him in front of the UN and all that green marble or whatever it is down there. He sounds like a UN speech. So is he trying to help? Yeah, maybe, but probably not. I think what he's really trying to do is just get the Iranian,

drive a spike on the Iranian people and to get some of the moderate Iranian people who are upset about the fact that they're in this war-torn country and that they want regime change, they want new leadership, they want somewhere to go in the future while looking at the rich past they've had. I think Netanyahu's pointing right at those people, trying to get those people. Here's another reason, man, they can't even get you water and I'm willing to help.

Vinny. I mean, listen, I'm going to go straight up to besides Bibi's plan of, you know, the greater Israel. He wants to, you know, he wants to he wants to expand. He wants to dominate. He doesn't want, you know, his enemies being being surrounded by him. So he's trying to take over. And I get it from that angle. But Iranians had such a huge window of opportunity a couple of months back when everything was going on when Israel and America were starting to bomb and everything and we

talked about it this was their moment Tom this was the moment rise up get in the streets do your thing what happened good it's like a firecracker that goes and nothing happens at the end okay so now this is what's starting to happen okay you have leaders trying to say hey Hey listen guys, if you rise up, one of you guys step up, somebody do something, we'll give you water,

because if not, what it's going to come to is Israel is going to keep putting the pressure on and they're going to get involved even more than they are. He even said that he was, and then America's going to obviously get involved too because they're our allies. So this all goes back to what you said months ago, the people had a chance, I don't care if it was Reza or Pahlavi, somebody get in the

streets, get in the streets because if not this is the type of stuff that's going to be coming. When you get in the streets you die though. No no no not Adam, if everybody said enough is enough you're not going to kill everybody bro, there's no way, there's no no way not at that moment. I don't think the Iranian regime will kill all their people Adam I think the people the voice of the people are way too strong if everybody said what evidence do you have of that because I? Have 46 years of evidence. They don't give a shit what the people think Adam They will kill you and everybody got in the street literally. I'm talking about nobody go to work

Land he's playing in reality. No. No they will kill every single. I don't believe that. Well guess what Adam, is it worth it? They're clinging to power. No I'm not talking about the people. The people don't like what's happening Adam. By the way, as much as this is the conversation, both of you are right. It is the conversation. You know, yesterday I'm asking Bustamante, for 39 years, 37 years, the Shah was president the the king of Iran Kissinger doesn't help him he falls

Four countries unite against the fall of Iran Now for 46 years, they've been the leaders and nothing's happened. Now what? It's oh, it's gonna be a peaceful like when the Reza Pahlavi says it's gonna be a peaceful me. No, it's not Yeah, Rob. Did you did you see the the thing? I sent you with the water shortage in Iran I don't know if you saw that on I check this out how bad it is. Yes when you look at this chart Vinny Oh my god This is water shortages spark. Remember Michael Burry said at the end that big short in the water

He said the next biggest thing to look at is water. When I went to Harvard, there was a guy there that learned how to build a plant to make water. He says this is the future goal. This is what you're going to want. Look at this here. Water shortage is sparking protests in Iran.

Extreme drought. Look at the left side there. Abadan, you see, Ghazistan,vere drought is the orange all over the place Moderate drought abnormal dryness so Tehran is okay when you look at Tehran, but all the other places man Yeah, it is not looking good in Iran Adam. Yeah, well

BB Netanyahu is just completely Trolling his enemies at this point specifically in Iran he did a video when he assassinated one of Hamas's things, he takes out the glasses and he's like Netanyahu, Bibi Netanyahu. He's the James Bond of the Middle East. Even if you hate Israel, make these concessions. He's eliminated Hamas, he's eliminated Hezbollah in Lebanon, he's basically done a deal with the Houthis, you don't

hear much from them. Iran is a sitting duck. They've taken out their nuclear capabilities. Syria's been dismantled. Again, even if you hate Israel, this is truth, truth, truth, truth, truth. Israel has completely embarrassed their enemies. But what the Iranians are doing, it's the samebook. You ready for the playbook? Give it. But Gaza! Yeah, President of Iran, Ayatollah, you've killed X amount of people.

But Gaza! Hey, Syria, what's going on? But Gaza! It's the but Gaza defense. And here's what Bibi Netanyahu thinks about Gaza. He doesn't give a shit.

Clearly, he's going to do what he wants to do. He'll take it over and you ain't gonna do a thing about it because it's a dog-eat-dog world in the Middle East. It ain't the Midwest and these people only understand strength. I don't operate that way. You don't operate that way. Why? Why don't we operate that way? Because we live in America and we don't have to, oh my god, we're gonna get killed today. And let's live in Chiraq. We have oceans We don't have to worry about all this people in Israel on edge every single this Andrew Bussamante made it made it some great points He's like they don't operate the way we do the the way we every day. They're paranoid

They think they're gonna get blown up and that's the way they operate by the way compare Iran to Israel. It's not even close. Israel is a leading country in the world when it comes to desalination and technology of water. By the way, they're in the Middle East. What is the Middle East known for? Desert. There's no water there. Iran is basically zero water to drink whatsoever. But the last point is this. Talk about misery and happiness. The happiest country in the Middle East is which country? Israel. One of the least happiest country in the Middle East is which country? Israel. One of the least happiest countries in the Middle East is Iran. They're not happy in that side of

the world. The angriest people you said were the Lebanese, the Turks, and another country over there. They're not happy there. They don't have freedom there. Some people have safety, but they don't have freedom. Last thing, GDP per capita in Israel, one of the highest in the Middle East, one of the highest in the world, 53,000 per person. What does that mean? The average person, do you know what the misery index and the GDP per capita is in Iran? $4,000. Wow. Okay, that's what

people make in a month, that's what they make in a year, and it gets worse in Yemen, in Syria, in Afghanistan. They're very poor and very miserable.

Yeah, I mean, somebody could say, well, it's because the sanctions we put on them, so nobody does business with them. But there's a reason, because you don't have diplomacy. But if you go to this, I just asked a question, I said, how bad is the water shortage in Iran?

Look what it says. It says, as of 2025, Tehran's main reservoirs We're holding only 13% of the capacity. With Lard Dam, Rob, can you take a picture of Lard Dam? Just type in picture just to see what Lard Dam looks like. Lard Dam is only at 1% of capacity of water, Vinny. 1% of capacity of water. It's 1% full.

And then inflows were down 28% year over year. Karaj Dam dropped 58%. Lard down 34%, Tehran is down 33%, while Latiyat and Mambo together decreased 47%. Nearly half of Iran's provinces

are officially water stressed, outpacing available supply. The nation is experiencing not just a drought, but what many call water bankruptcy with looming day zero scenarios. Day zero scenarios? Siding running dry within weeks. Weeks. This is not like a issue that's a 10 years away, 20 years away. This is here,

right? And over the past five decades, roughly 70% of Iran's groundwater reserves has been depleted. Tehran, for instance, experiencing land subsidies for up to 25 centimeters per year, indicating collapsing aquifers. Study revealed over three and a half percent of Iran's land area, impacting nearly 90 million people, is sinking, with some regions affected by sinkholes and irreversible ground collapse. This is a real issue they're dealing with over there.

And at the end of the day, you can look at the government as an enemy You can look at the hominy or hominy or all the president everything they're doing But the people are the people are the people nearly 85 million people give or take are suffering with water It's water is that water is a very it's it's a you don't think about water because you have all these bottles of water here Many times we'll just leave the water will we'll drink a little bit and boom, it's out. Iranians right now would literally die to have water to give to their kids and their

families. So it's tragic what's going on over there.

As an Iranian, who do you blame for Iran not having water?

It's 100% the government.

Okay, thank you.

Yeah, it's. And the government will blame Iran. The government will blame US. The government will blame Saudi. The government will blame Israel. Government will blame anybody and everybody except themselves.

And what's the whole thing? Maslow's hierarchy of needs, food, shelter, water. Think about how many billions Iran has spent on proxy wars, on their nuclear ambitions, on funding terrorism, outsourcing all the drama that we see in the world, and their people don't have water?

Yeah.

This is Iran.

Well, let's get to the next story. It's tragic, what's going on in Iran, but it's a real thing. It's happening. Next story I want to get into is a different kind of a story, but I'm going to read this and I'm going to give you my thoughts Trump touts tax relief for vast majority of seniors on Social Security's 90th anniversary, okay So when he says this

President Trump's proclamation issued Thursday to mark the 90th anniversary of Social Security Act signed by FDR Described it as a monumental legislative achievement stating to this day Social Security's rooted in a simple promise Those who gave their careers to building our nation will always have to support stability and the relief they deserve the proclamation highlights his administration's improvement including technological advances and a reduction in average telephone response Time from 30 minutes last year to six minutes and 80% decrease

Trump claims these efforts ensure Social Security now stands stronger and more resilient than ever before Counting Democratic criticism of workforce and one big big beautiful bill the administration complete over 3.1 million Signed last month allow the vast majority of seniors who receive Social Security to pay absolute nothing in taxes on their benefits which Trump calls the largest tax break for seniors in a history of our country Rob so is

this him signing it this is and then he praises the Social Security Commissioner

go for it some of the most talented people in business and they were making, again, they were making a lot of money, but they made a lot of money. They had money they didn't have to make anymore and they just want to do this. They want to have our country become strong and good. And that's what's happening.

And we're doing that in a lot of locations, a lot of areas. You deal with some of the people that are commissioners, that are secretaries of state, secretaries of treasury and commerce, people that were really, really successful people. And they gave all that up to make a very small amount of money. They don't even consider it a fraction. You say

1% less than 1% it's pretty good. That's a big, that's a big pay cut. Okay.

So you see this here and obviously it's nice. It's great. Everything that they're talking about, but then when you get your social security statement, the statement that comes in and many of these letters, it tells you the account's going to be insolvent by 2033, that it's going to run out of money and a one part that we don't think about every president is afraid of having the Social Security conversation they're all

afraid of it you know why it's a big voter base and if you don't get it you're not gonna win midterms you're not gonna win two elections you're not gonna win any of that stuff but I'm not running for office okay if you're younger watching this you're gonna pay a price for. I'm talking to the guys that are in their 20s and their 30s. Watch this here. Rob, can you go back and type in,

when FDR came out with Social Security, what was the life expectancy in America? So I'll tell you while he's pulling this up. FDR comes out with Social Security in 1935. Life expectancy at the time was 61 years old. Okay. 61 years old was life expectancy at that time. Okay. 61 years old right there. Do you know when benefits were paid out? 65 years

old. So at the time benefits were paying out four years after the average American died. So do you know the first time when they came out with Social Security became law, the first time they paid out Social Security was in 1937. 1937, they used to pay Social Security in lump sum. Do you know in 1937 how many people in America got Social Security?

You know what the number is? Can you type in how many people got Social Security the first year they paid it out? It's roughly 54,000 people that got Social Security, the first year they paid it out. It's roughly 54,000 people that got Social Security the first year, give or take. Not 1940, 1937 is the first year they paid it out. How many people in 1937 got Social Security?

It's 54,000 people, give or take. Do you know in 1937, when 54,000 people got Social Security, you know how what the US population was at the time 53,000 people got Social Security? Do you know what the US population was at the time the US population at the time was 128 million people? So let's do some math Vinny. I know you like man. I love it Can you type in US population 1937 top you know where I'm going with this watch this let's do math I'm right with this. Watch this. Let's do math. I'm right with you. So, if you do 54,000 people got benefits

out of 128 million people. Let's do the math. You know what the number is? It should be 0.004%.

Wow.

So, today, what's our population?

340 million people.

What's 400 million?

So, if we apply this into today's math, so let's take this times 340 million people. To use FDR's formula today, only 143,000 people should be getting Social Security today. Do you know how many people got Social Security payments? Can you pull up the number please what it is? Probably 50 million people. 74 million people are getting social security checks today. The number is right there.

74 million people are getting social security checks today. So let me get this straight. We started off in 37, average age was, life expectancy was 61, benefits started at 65. Only 54,000 people got the benefit out of 128,000,000.004%. You apply to today on 340,000,000.00, it should be only 143,000,000.00, yet 74,000,000.00

plus got it. And if we applied FDR's calculation on when Social Security benefits should start, you know when it should be? Rob, can you do me a favor? What is the life expectancy today of Americans? You guys want to guess?

Let's, let's, what is, what is...

72? What is it today? High 70s, low 80s. What is it today? 78. Do you know what that means? If we use the same exact principle of social security starts four years later, 61, 65,

and that was when we were living 61, now you go to 78. You know when benefits should start? At 84 years old. If we use FDR's formula, social security today should start at 84 years old. People are normally dying around 70. But by the way, nobody is going to agree to this.

No way. Because no one's going to get elected, except for the youth. If you're in your 20s and you're in your 30s, you ought to be campaigning for not wanting any Social Security. But also the debt load is not going to be passed on you. Because in reality it is.

And you're going to be suffering the consequences. So let me get this straight. Median income's not comparable to what it was 20 years ago, 40 years ago, 80 years ago. Where a lot of these boomers, they were able to buy a house and pay it off within 8, 10, 12 years. By 22, 23, 25 years old, they had a house. It's not the case today.

Your income was able to give you decent life, not today, on the backs of what? So now they'll say it's the billionaire's fault. It's the rich man's fault. No, it's called, out of all the money that America gets in taxes, which is roughly $4.9 trillion of revenue that comes in. Tax revenue that comes in. Do you know what percentage is used for entitlement programs?

68% of that income is used for entitlement programs. Let me explain to you what this means. You make $490,000 a year. You're rich. You're doing very good for yourself. Your parents guilt trip you on paying 70% of your $490,000 every year to your cousins, to your siblings, to your grandparents, to your aunts, to your uncles.

They guilt trip you. But mom, I worked hard for this $490,000. Doesn't matter. Give it to your cousins. Give it to your uncles. Give it to your aunts.

Are you kidding me? Yes. I worked so hard to make $490,000. Let's take $490,000 of income, time .68. $333,000 of it should be given to your friends and family. Do you think that's a good idea? If you don't think that's a good idea, why should it be a good idea for 20-year-olds

and 30-year-olds that are sitting there saying, what's going to happen with this if the account's going to deplete in 2033, 2035? Are we going to keep adding this? 40 trillion debt, 50 trillion debt. Do you know what our total unpaid commitments we have in debt, not national debt, our national debt is what, Rob? 38 trillion dollars. Our national debt is 38 trillion dollars.

What is our total, yeah national debt clock will say what? Let's look at this here. 37.2 trillion dollars. But what is our complete debt that we have to all the programs combined? Right there, it's on the side. It's on the side right there. It's 105 trillion dollars. And that's our commitment to social security Security commitment to everything else that we have. That's your death. That's your debt To all the young folks that are watching this that's your unfunded debt and interest Forget the 37 trillion dollars. That's it. There you have to pay for how do you think that money's gonna come?

You think we have that much oil you think we have that much Bitcoin You think we have that much reserve in gold you think we have that how much you think we have in gold You know how much we have in gold You know is our gold reserve how much is our gold reserve Rob? Can you go to our gold reserve how much do we have in our US gold reserve look at the number? Should be four five hundred billion votes gone up now, but it should be a, what's the number? What's the dollar amount that we have?

Book value. Okay, there it is. Overall, the US reserve gold is now $757. Fort Knox alone is $388. We have $757 billion. Oh my God, that's so much money.

Go back to the debt clock. You know how much that is? Nothing. That's the change. So if you go to the amount of debt that we have, we're in a bad situation right now. Bad situation right now.

So yeah, you know what, Social Security, let's keep doing it, guys. Let's keep doing it. I think the least somebody should have the brass to do, raise the age to 75. And by the way, you know how it should be? This is how I would do it. Tom, push back on this and please give the devil's advocate argument to what I'm saying,

and tear apart my argument. If you're above 60 years old, guess what? Let's pay you off at the age that we have right now. If you're below 60 years old, benefit starts at 75 years old. We don't have a choice but to do this. Benefits start at 75 years old, not 65.

I would go to 80. I'd go to 85. We're living longer. But benefits goes back to 75 years old for anybody under the age of 60. Anyone above the age of 60 you're there your benefits start at 75. No 65 years old above 60.

Above 60 you get it at 65. Below 60 75 years old. Tom thoughts. Are you against it?

I'm not against it because there there needs to be a financial restructuring but I'll be the devil's advocate on the voter side.

Okay. needs to be a financial restructuring. But I'll be the devil's advocate on the voter's side.

So I recognize that we have a spreadsheet that doesn't work. So we got to do something. But here's going to be the argument. Wait a minute. I didn't work for a company with pensions. I've got some savings.

My wife and I have our individual IRAs. We rolled a couple small 401ks over when we were with companies that could get us a 401k, and we got our savings and social security. That's what I intended to live on. What do you mean you're just going to pay me a lump sum? You're supposed to pay me by the month. I've been getting statements from the government that said that I'm going to get $ 1,200 that $4,000 plus my savings of her selling the house we're moving to Florida we're gonna get a condo down

size that was my plan you can't change the plan on me you can't pull the rug out from under me right now that is the devil's advocate position that's the voter and then my other brain says well well, you got to do it. Greece was going bankrupt, Vinny going bankrupt. Go look up Greece, austerity riots going back 15 years ago. I believe it was. They said in Greece, we're fricking broke. And we are one of the, that's right.

15 years ago, uh, May, 2010 2010 almost exactly 15 years ago the government said we're going broke guess what some of you folks are gonna have to work longer and then you're gonna have a little less it's called austerity when you get to retirement and they're like wait a minute me sitting on the porch with the missus having little tiny juice glass full of wine the way we live our lives here you're maybe you're telling me got to work longer and I'm gonna get less?

Yes. And then they revised it, I believe, twice and people went bonkers. You know why the people went bonkers? Because also in socialism, you know what you had? You had people like me sitting in a job and you had people like my niece waiting for that. I want to work at the post office for the rest of my life on a good government job, just get paid, hang out, but I can't get my job until my dad retires and you're telling me now I got to wait for him to retire? So this it was it was called a barbell

reaction where you have two ends of the spectrum are reacting and then you have the bar in the middle. The youth went bonkers. They're not going to get basically socialist income and 30-hour-a-week jobs and gets paid their living wage for that. And then the older people said, I get less and I can't retire for another five years.

And you can see what they did. They reacted a little bit, and they kind of tore up the place.

Adam, your thoughts.

So I'm going to tell a story, so bear with me. So I've had a rough week. My stepdad died. And we know that. I went to his funeral. And he's been sick for quite some time.

But I had to have a very crucial conversation with my mom about life and finances and work. And here's what I said to my mom, who's 74, and I love you, mom, and thank you, Vinny, for reminding me to call my mom every day. I said, mom, you're not retiring anytime soon.

You need to stay working. You need to make more money, and you need to save that money. I love you, I'm here for you. Whatever your shortfall is, I got you. But you need to stay working because I want you here to age 100. And if you're going to be living for the next 25 years, you don't have enough money to last another five years. You need to keep working. There's no retiring for you. And that is exactly

the type of conversation that unfortunately, many of you need to have with your parents and your grandparents because they did not save that money. And it's sad and it's true. People always ask me, Pat, how did you meet Pat? What's it? You know, the number one reason I'm here, number one reason is because that debt clock that Rob, if you can show that I saw that in 2015 and I said, what the hell is this? I said, what's going on here? I was at a conference in Vegas, much like we were just at last week. And of course, this is when I was drinking.

I'm sitting in the back of the room and I'm hungover and I'm sitting in the back of the room. And it's, you know how the insurance guys are. It's all older white guys and they're all doing their thing and I'm just, I'm sitting in the back of the room and I hear blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's why millennials are going to be broke. I'm like, what? Millennials are going to be broke?

What do you mean? They're like, did you not hear anything we just said for the last hour? I was like, no, I'm hungover. It's Vegas. They go, nothing buddy, we're about to retire. That's on you. I was like, what?

And I felt inspired to basically start my show and I talked to Pat. I was like, Pat, I wanna do this thing. It's a 2016 at this point. I said, all right, I'm gonna help millennials save that money.

And I realized that this is a major problem. Here's a little fun facts for you. You talked about social security. I'm fully on the same page with you, Pat, as far as Social Security. Workers per retiree. That's what Social Security is founded on. Workers work, they make the money, the retirees who pay into it get to receive the money. In 1940, after FDR did the New Deal, do you know how many workers per retiree there were? 42 workers per the retiree.

Pat, you ready for this? You know how many workers per retiree now? Two. In 1940, there was 42 workers per each retiree. Now, there's two. And do you think that's going the right way or the wrong way? Life expectancy then, you said, was 61. You received benefits at 65. Now you're living to 85, 90. My grandma is 98 years old. She's going to

be 100. People are living longer. And then also, as far as living longer, birth rates are going lower. The math is not in our favor. Social Security was built for a world that we live to 65. We're all living to 85-95-100. No wonder this country is going broke. People criticize me. Adam focused on Epstein. Gaza. Auto pen. We're broke. People criticize me, Adam focus on Epstein, Gaza, Auto Pen, we're

broke and we need to focus on saving that money. It was supposed to be a small

supplement for approximately two years. It's become a pension program for 40

years. Yes and it's very sad but true. Tilt, this is why I care so much about

this. They have to raise the age. I agree with you. They have to raise the age To the boomers that were listening who got off the podcast when I told you earmuffs Remember what I said, they have to raise the age your kids and grandkids are gonna be destroyed For this one day. All right, let's go to next door. It should step next door. I want to go to is the following It's Vegas dying. That's the question. Is Vegas dying?

The numbers came back June of 2024 to June of 2025. The amount of visitors going to Vegas dropped 11%. The amount of people visiting Vegas is down 11%. How is that even possible? The airline booking, down. Visitors, down. Vegas Vegas tourism down, casinos

losing billions. All of that happened. Is this the clip Rob? Go ahead and play this clip, go for it.

Hi Brian and Alan. Well experts say fewer people are coming to Las Vegas and that largely has to do with money, but international visitors are also down down specifically from Canada and Mexico, but experts say Las Vegas relies a lot on their tourism, so it is hitting this city hard. And Las Vegas welcomed nearly 400,000 fewer visitors this June. That's compared to the same time last year. That's an 11% drop, the first double-digit decline since 2021. And it's not just tourists, convention traffic.

A major moneymaker here is also down. Those big conferences and expos bring in high spending of visitors, and the cost of visiting adds up fast. Between resort fees and service charges, vacationing here can be more expensive.

Even the city's airport is feeling the impact, with passenger traffic falling more than 6% last month.

That's insane when you hear that, right? So now think about this. That's going on with Vegas taking a hit the way that they have. Then reports come with alcohol. I'm going to combine these two together a little bit. Go to the reports about alcohol, Rob. I don't know if you have that or not. It says, why are Americans, why Americans are rethinking, let me go to what page that is, what page is that on Rob?

Uh, page 8.

Page 8, okay.

Why Americans are rethinking drinking alcohol. And there's a poll that came up from Gallup, you have to see this number here, okay, if you show the chart Rob, Gallup poll conducted in July found that 53% of US adults now believe moderate drinking is bad for their health, a record high, up from 28% in 2015. 28% in 2015. It nearly 2x'd with two-thirds of 18 to 34-year-olds viewing it as unhealthy.

Two-thirds of 18 to 34-year-olds. What were you doing at 18 to 34? Drinking! All day, every day. So viewing it as unhealthy compared to four out of 10 in 2015. And while other adults are concerned,

rose half Americans 55 or older agreeing up to, up from two in 10, oh my God, that's nearly three X. And the shift is driven by grown up evidence that alcohol consumption, even in moderation, leads to negative health outcomes, including being a leading cause of cancer

as noted by health professionals, Lydia Gallup. Lydia Gallup, director of US research stated older adults have lived through an era where there was more of a mixed message about alcohol, so it may take them a little bit longer to absorb this information. Look at that chart right there.

Lowest. Okay, lowest number. So when you combine these two stories, why did I combine these two stories? So when you think about the youth today, is a fun weekend for them going to Vegas like it was for us? No.

No, it's not. Do they want to go watch the shows? No. Do they need to go to Vegas to gamble? No. There's an app for that. Do they need to go to Vegas to meet a girl?

No, there's Tinder for that. We're in LA with one of our guys, don't mention the name, don't mention the name, I'm not mentioning the name. One of the guys like, I want to see if the quality of Tinder is going to be good here in LA. It's 11 o'clock at night. He's like, yeah, it's not as good as I thought it's better in Miami or it's better in Florida, right? Remember that conversation he says exact words were I'm disappointed by the caliber of women. Yeah

So guess what and it was not me for the record What's the boy you came back at 2 30 in the morning, but that's a different conversation. So so so but but you were on grinder No, he was not grinder was bumble, but so while- I have what is called real life friends. But here's the point. The point I'm making to you is the following. The guy that said that is in his 20s, late 20s, okay?

May have just turned 30. And he's saying, look at the market where I'm at. Why would I need to go to Vegas? Why would I need to go to Vegas to gamble? Why would I need to go to Vegas to meet crows? Why would I need to get to Vegas to for what? For the Raiders? That's eight games a year. Eight games a year. Maybe I'll go to Vegas. Aside, do I want to go watch you know the Bellagio show, the O? Do I want to go

watch the Blue Man show? Do I want to go watch any of that stuff? I have access to all of that stuff on YouTube, okay? I have to save some money. Prices are going up for me. I have, my income's not going up as much as it should. I need more savings. And then with alcohol, I mean, more and more and more people today are obsessed with health. When I was interviewing Chip Wilson 10 years ago, the founder of Lululemon, funny guy, Funny guy. We're sitting there, we're somewhere by the water. I don't know if we're Newport Beach, Santa Monica.

I'm sitting there. He says, in the next 20 years, everyone's going to be in shape. I said, why do you say that? He says, because everyone's going to wear smart clothes. I said, what's smart clothes? He says, the clothes are going to tell you, stand up, walk around, temperature's this, go over there, do this, drink water, go eat this, time to eat something,

don't eat too much. He says the entire data is going to be given to you where everyone is going to be smarter when it comes down to health. I had a friend of mine, neighbor, that came and visited us yesterday and he's telling me about the difference between lifespan and healthspan. Lifespan is how long you live but maybe you don't enjoy the last 15 years of your life.

Healthspan is how long you live while you're healthy. Everybody today is concerned about how long they live a healthy life. So man, it's a bad time for Vegas. Think about it. Used to be hot, but it's a bad time for Vegas.

Tom, your thoughts on the story.

Well, I think it's absolutely correct. And what I look at is, in preparing for this, I sat back and I just had a quick synapse in the old brain, and I'm like, wow, you know what? I know it's just my feed, but when I also talked to Kim about it, in Instagram, I look at how many influencers

are out there talking about health. Gary Brecht is talking about health. I'll mention him, I won't mention a bunch of other names, but we all know who they are. And some of them are out there just, you know, selling the latest program, like they've always done. But there's an awareness on there about health. And there's also been an awareness about diet. And guess what? The younger generation right now

with the cost of food where it went, now eggs have come back down and we can stop the egg jokes about, oh, I've got eggs, so she'll date me, she thinks I'm rich. So you've got a big awareness about health

and you also have a cost issue. And I think that you have the vanity that is on Instagram about look good, feel good, and that vanity leads to bad sides of health, like, oh, just take Ozempic, take the fat shot. What's the worst that could happen to you?

It turns out, apparently, allegedly, an awful lot of side effects, apparently, that are physiological side effects that take in Ozempic and that aren't so good. And then there's the other side of it. Well, maybe I don't need to eat a Big Mac.

Maybe I don't need to eat a big grease bomb like that.

A McRib.

And people are thinking about it. And people have been thinking about sugar and Coke. And you finally have folks talking about soda machines in schools are still there, but there's a lot of folks out there that are pushing for it. And now you bring all that youth together that is having this awareness, and socially speaking they don't want to go to Vegas, go on a bender, and they can watch all these

programs elsewhere, and it's expensive. And so they sit there. I can barely afford housing, so where's my disposable income? They're not spending on cable, I guess they're not spending on alcohol,

I guess it's all coming back down. I think there's a budget part of it, and a health part of it.

And you make a great point, when we were in Vegas, me and Adam were sharing a room, and while we were cuddling, and I was the big spoon, We went to the mini, that's our secret. We went to the mini bar. If you, did you see, you guys were in a different room, but if you move anything or try to put personal items inside the mini bar and the sensor goes off, it's a $50 surcharge.

Okay, and look at.

Yeah, like if you brought a Coke. You had a bottle of water and you want to put it in a fridge.

Like you would do it at the Marriott Courtyard. It's over. It's $50. Don't do that in Vegas and bump something. Yeah, bucket of Coors Light, $290 if you want to go by the pool and all that stuff. It's unbelievably priced. They need to do a major shift. Maybe they could go to Bed David Consulting and have you guys talk to them. I'm Vegas. I at your girls. Did you find it weird in our hotel? When you walked around, there was a camera, and there was just a dealer, and they're gambling around the world.

Why do you need to even go to Vegas? Drake does it, all these guys are at home,

winning millions, losing millions.

You don't even need to-

Did you see the big glass-enclosed stage that was filmed everywhere with four games going on there? Yeah. everywhere with four games going on there with all the identically dressed dealers. Oh, man and girls. There was a typical guy. The guys were hot, too. Like, don't they were all there.

It's right.

And hot.

Hot. No, but I mean, why even putting that room that you had?

But and mind you, as somebody that stopped drinking over two years ago, it's I think it's fantastic. And especially with the drinking, because you know what? When you eat too much food, what do people say? Yeah, I was full, I need to lay down. When you drink too much alcohol, you know what they say? It's alcohol poisoning. It's poison. So good.

Good.

Adam. Well, shout out to Vinny, he hasn't drank in how many years? Two years, two months, 14 days. You're down to five martinis a day? That's incredible. Tom, you drink fake alcohol to look cool. I've seen it. I've seen Tom put it down, bro. You don't know Tom. Then he does his... On the way here, you should see Tom drinking in the way. Exactly. Tom's drunk now. We're recovering a story. You're, you're collecting retirement in two years. Relax. Wow. Um, this guy just called me on grinder. I say that I say his actual age. Whoa, let's

not do this guy. Well, once an observation, the others discrimination, discrimination

against old gay people. Let's focus. Let's stay on track here before Tom doesn't there. Yeah, there we go So, you know what they say what happens what happens at Vegas stays in Vegas? What happens if nobody goes to Vegas, you know where people are going instead of Vegas these days, Miami I'm not sure if you've noticed Miami's up up up up shit. Shout out to mayor Francis Suarez Why do you go to Vegas? Anyways, it's for things. To gamble, drink, or party in whatever order you want. Gamble, drink, party.

You can do all that in Miami, but Miami has one thing that Vegas does not have the beach. The sun, the fun. You don't have to go to Miami and drink and party. Go work out on the beach, go on a boat, go on a yacht ride. Have a great time. Miami is the new

Vegas. New York is done. LA is done. It's all about Miami. Look where we live in sunny South Florida. You go to Miami. You go to 11, you go to New York, Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami. There's traffic. There's there's fountains. Go to 11, go to Bodega. Don't come down here. Vegas has not been cool since the hangover. And the little Asian dude jumped out of the trunk like Tom did with the little ding.

And there is a tiger in the bathroom.

What's his name?

Carlos. Carlos.

That's true.

Baby Carlos.

Baby Carlos, yeah. No, I mean, look. is this is what's going on with Vegas. It's not the same. We were there, we were there last week. We brought, we try to help Vegas. We brought nearly 10,000 people there. And I actually like going to Vegas because I go to a couple of restaurants every time I'm there and you know,

I've watched almost every one of the shows. There's good memories of being in Vegas. But it ain't what it was before. We do our events in Vegas at the MGM Grand Arena, and we get our guys to be locked and focused to not go and gamble and stay locked in for three, four, five days. And we're able to do it. We've been doing that for many, many years, but unfortunately, it's not what it was.

But it's helping the city. They're buying lots of room nights, they're paying for restaurants.

That's our event. That's our event last week. top picture Rob. Top picture is a picture of a Hummer mechanic baby. Look at this guy. 63 Bravo. Look at that guy. I had a certification called Hotel 8 which is you try to pull trucks out of the mud with an LMTV or an FMTV. That's what I did before. In 97 you're solo in a truck 2025 this is your event given the keynote speech. This is last week. Pretty cool Pat. We had a very good event. It was such a special event. It was phenomenal. It was phenomenal. I showed a picture of Tom. Shout out to PHP.

I showed a picture of Tom, one of the all-time greatest pictures, very emotional picture of Tom. I could reenact it right now if you'd like. I was crying. I was crying. I'm not gonna do it. No, don't do it. Making a point. Just making a point. So let's go through here to the next story. Vinay, I'm coming to you with this one. And it's probably going to be our last story. New Jersey parents applaud new law that could send them to prison for their children's crimes.

You got to get the parents involved. All right, so let's see what the story is. We've talked about this on the podcast here for the last two or three years, this specific story. Rob, is that the clip?

Yes. Go for it. Parents if they don't prevent their kids from breaking the law they could essentially face fines up to $2,000 and jail time up to 90 days in jail. Some parents are outraged say this sets a dangerous precedent. You know thanks to cell phones and YouTube we're seeing more scenes like this play out across the country. It's what Gloucester, New Jersey found itself dealing with last summer

when more than 500 teens arrived at a city party, started a brawl, and needed over 100 police to calm the situation. The mayor of Gloucester, addressing this recently, says he may have a solution.

We have a juvenile crisis in this country. This is not unique to Gloucester Township, but rather is symptomatic of a larger societal juvenile crisis. And I'll tell you, I don't have all the answers, but one possible answer is to hold parents accountable for their children.

Oh, what do you think about that? I absolutely like finally Finally, this is what the hell's been missing. Okay, let's put aside Everything that Trump's doing with DC and Chicago. I had a whole thing I was gonna get into about DC and Chicago and the horrible leadership just from the mayor side and all that nonsense But Adam we talked about this too, about parents that have children that do terrorist crap in this country

or mass shootings or anything. You know what? Where were the parents?

I forgot which state it was that the mom.

It was Michigan.

Michigan actually had the mom and dad. I know exactly where you're going, everybody. I love that you remembered it.

That the parents in jail time. You live your guns out, you're irresponsible, and your kid does something stupid. I'm sorry, what is this one, Tommy?

Read it right there.

James and Jennifer, just read it. The parents of the Oxford High School shooter, James and Jennifer Crumbly, were sentenced to 10 to 15 years each for the involuntary manslaughter in connection to the 2021 school shooting. Okay? When kids run the street, is it just me Rob? Or have you been seeing, all I'm seeing is videos like this of kids running in the streets,

they're doing drifting, they're beating the hell out of each other, they're shooting at each other, and zero respect for the law, it all starts at the home. You know what kept me out, yes I did a lot of stupid stuff, but you know what kept me from actually losing everything? that my dad, oh my god, my dad, Pat, if my dad found out, I'm pretty sure you're in the same boat, if my dad found out or my mom said those six words, wait until your dad comes home, that was the fear. Wait until your father gets home, bro.

That stopped me from doing everything, okay? If the parents don't teach the discipline and the order and all that stuff, it all goes to haywire. It's not the school's it's yours parents need to step up and I guarantee you if that goes into law the crime rate with especially with the youth is gonna

drop in Jersey like that. You know what's very interesting about this it's very very interesting insurance companies have something called subrogation so in other words your car gets hit in a parking lot by somebody and you walk out from the store oh my gosh my car's been hit people said hey it's this guy this old man backed into you. Your insurance company will quickly get your car fixed.

But then they are going to go to the other guy and his insurance company called Subrogation to get the money back because he's responsible for it. You don't have to do that. You know, Liberty Mutual, whoever you have, takes care of your car.

Well, guess what? If an underage child breaks a window on your house and under your homeowner's insurance you get it fixed. Do you know what they're gonna send you? They are going to send you a questionnaire and they will call if that child is under 18 they will call the other child's parents. They will attempt to find a parent or guardian and make them responsible for that window. This is the way it works behind the scenes in the insurance

industry. So why should it be so shocking that now people are trying to say, okay, well, if your kid goes out there, commits a misdemeanor and costs the company, the city, some money and things like this, an act of vandalism, then you should pay for it. And if you're going to be completely responsible and leave guns out there, then just like these people in Michigan, you're going to do time.

I love it because it's you are responsible for your kids.

Adam, thoughts?

So I upset a couple of people last week or when I said that you should hitch your kids more often.

Hitch, like hitch them?

No, hitch. No, no, don't hook them up.

Hitch, hit them.

Oh, gosh.

Hit them, not hitch, not Will Smith, no.

But sometimes. Did you hit that? Tom, you're being very inappropriate, Tom. Tom, what'd you mean by did you hit that? Keep going. No, Tom, explain. Adam, make it boring. I want to give one more story. No, go.

Hit it like the kid.

Go for it. I'll start over.

I made some... Rob, you're laughing? What's going on?

No, don't start over. Just pick up where you left off.

Tom, I'm going to pick you up and drop you off where I found you at the old age nursing home. You'd have to Uber them. That's right. Unbelievable. Anyway. Hope you're wearing Nikes. Speaking of hitting your kids, sometimes you've got to hit your parents and sometimes you've got to hit the people that are responsible for how horrible the kids are. As much as Tom is being annoying today, his kids are absolutely incredible. He's a good parent.

Some parents need to be held accountable for how horrible they are. We told a story last week, some gangster ass, uh, lady with tattoos. She's going to jail for some reason. Cause her kid did some murder and they're holding her accountable. I, I was like, Oh, if your kid shoots up a school without question, you go to jail. What do you mean? The parent didn't do this. How it's like, I don't care. Turns out, yeah, this is the lady right here.

Oh, turns out she didn't raise the best kid.

Model citizen.

Oh no, shocker. Sometimes the parents have to be held responsible for the actions of their kids. And sometimes the kids do such bad things the parents need to be doubly responsible. Throw them up, lock them away, put them in jail.

Your kids are shitty, you're a horrible person. Everyone's going to jail. Straight to jail!

Kids are not shitty. Let me tell you, kids are trouble. Parents teach bad habits to the kids. There's more caught than taught in parenting. Okay, kids have a shot in life. If you raise them well, I've met so many kids that are so impressive.

Then I want to meet the parents to tell the parents great job Okay, Vinny just said something powerful. I hope he tweets it out these six words make America safer Okay, wait until your dad comes home Those six words make America safer unfortunately when the number of single mothers right now and Children being born without a father, you

can't use that line. Wait until your father comes home. Wait until your father comes home. You can't use that line. It's a very powerful line to make America safer. Last story here, Tom and Adam, this is the one you guys wanted to talk about, so I'm

going to come to you here. Uh oh. Can you guess how many retire with $5 million? Here's a hint. Almost no one. 99.9% fall short. Okay.

So let me read the story to you. 5 million bucks is the number that we're talking about. Fewer than one-tenth of 1% of retirees have $5 million or more, meaning only about one in a thousand reached this mark, while only 3% achieve the $1 million milestone according to analysis by Employee Benefit Research Institute using Federal Survey data. Data from DQYDJ shows 4.8 million U.S. households or 3.7% have a net worth of $5 million or

more in 2023, including non-liquid assets like home equity and businesses, which may not directly support retirement income. A $5 million net egg allow nest egg allows a 4% annual withdrawal rate yielding $200,000 yearly before taxes providing resilience against inflation, market swings, and health expenses. The article highlights that reaching $5 million requiring high earning careers, discipline savings, wise investing, and smart business decisions or luck with tips,

including working with a financial advisor as a good one can help you map out a realistic plan, stress test against market swings, and adjust it as your life changes. Adam.

Tom, you can go first. I'm just pulling something up.

Well, this doesn't surprise me. Even in the areas where you have very, very dramatic appreciation in homes, the average American, you know, through, even an IRA that was pegged to Nvidia and Apple sequentially, you know, you're not gonna retire with this amount of money.

The average American retires with far less, which is the savings crisis that we have in America, which is also related to what we're talking about Social Security. Social Security has become a pension plan. So it's sort of interesting to me they come out with this the story. How many Americans retire at five million? Less than you think. What they should be saying is how many retire with a million? It's less than you think. To really put it in perspective, to see what's there.

Because $50,000, 20 years, that's a million. And so if you retire and that's $4,000 a month, a little over $4,000 a month, yeah, that goes quick. And so the headline, to me, is making a point and trying to get clicks. But the real issue is just how many Americans don't have the basic savings to even supplement

Social Security and now Social Security is got to change that we already talked about

Adam

Okay, you're not gonna be a millionaire you You're also definitely not gonna be a billionaire because the odds are not in your favor. How many billionaires are in America? Thousand or so. How many millionaires are in America? There's 23 million millionaires. The percent of people that retire with a million dollars in the bank, 3%.

The percent of people that retire with five million dollars in the bank, 0.01%. Now, if you ask the millennial, an average dude, he's 30 years old, are you going to be a millionaire? Of course.

50% of millennials think they're going to be millionaires. 72% of Gen Z think that they're going to be millionaires. You're not. However, what country gives you the best chance to be a millionaire? It's not even a question. It's the United States.

The problem with most people is they don't play the long game. You know, the average age when someone comes a millionaire, do you know it? 60 years old. Everyone wants to get rich quick, put this microwave hustle society. The reality is you'd rather look rich than actually be wealthy. The only way to be wealthy is work, earn, save, invest, and do that year in and year out, and don't stop.

It might take you a decade, it might take you a few decades, but if you do it the right way and save that money, you will become a millionaire, but not pipe dreaming that you're just gonna become a billionaire one day. It's not gonna happen.

In regards to what, you're saying billionaire? No, there's a 3% chance you become a millionaire. There's a 0.01% chance you become a billionaire.

I know, how many people do you mean?

0.01?

Yeah.

Less than that, sorry, 0.01. It's like 0.0001.

Correct, correct, correct.

The point, yeah, 0.01% chance

you're gonna be a 5 millionaire. It's like a thousand. I can do it. Tom, help me out here. When you said that, I went, wait a minute.

I'm not going to imagine, but are you serious? But you think that 0.01 is a good number in your favor?

No, but to be a billionaire, it's not.

I mean, 0.000 is 0.01 of having $5 million.

The chances of becoming a billionaire are non-existent.

It's 0.00026.

OK, I forgot to carry the

decimal. One and three and eight. But here's the point. Nobody becomes billionaire. This is the part to be thinking about when it comes down to this. There's nothing worse for you to do than you compare yourself to somebody else without you willing to do what that person has done or is willing to do. It's very simple. You know, we were having a conversation.

Three of our highest paid employees in a company are all in sales. All of them here. They work for Bedavid Consulting and if you're somebody that's in sales. All of them here. They work for Bed David Consulting and if you're somebody that's in sales and you have experience with SaaS software sales or you've done consulting sales, go to beddavid.com, apply for the company, okay? Bed David Consulting. These three guys are all above a half a million and they're all going to make a million dollars.

Net. They've only been with us for a couple of years. It's not like they've been with us for a long time. I just applied, by the way. But you know when, oh my God, why don't I get paid more money? Why don't I do this? Why don't I do that? Guess what? Some math requires.

It's not some math requires. They're taking client go above and beyond to make the kind of money they want to make. Great. Don't be upset. I can't believe that guy drives that car. No, don't be upset. That's that job they chose to take.

One of the guys at Jubilee asked me a question. He says, how do you feel about nurses? I said, to me, they're in. Hedge fund solves a bigger problem. And nurses is not a high paying job, period. If you want to go compare the two, the market pays better for somebody

that's able to make financial analysis. And it's not about feelings, not feelings. It's what the market pays better for. But if you love being a nurse, guess what? Be a nurse. Yesterday I asked a question from my oldest son. Dropping him off.

And I made a video and I said, Vinny, check this out. And we're driving, I'm like, Tico. I just asked him, I'm like, maybe this guy wants to be a teacher one day. I don't know. I said, Tico, would you want to be a teacher? Oh, absolutely not. He says, I'm so sick and tired of these kids. You're a kid, but he's like a 70 year old kid. He's 80 years old.

He's 80. But you know what it is? And Tom, you're laughing because you know that's his personality. Yeah, he's hilarious. He's not 13.

I've had these conversations with him.

I know.

But the point is what you choose to do. Now, let's go the other way around. Let's say you chose to be a nurse. Let's say you chose to be a whatever the job is, a supporting cast, HR, whatever you're doing. How can you now maximize your earnings potential to later on have a few million dollars 40 years later, 30 years later? Be better with your money.

Be frugal. Start investing early. Create better habits. Fight to get equity in the company, work your butt off to move up so maybe you're going to participate in bonuses, LTIP, all these other situations, and then you're putting yourself in a, don't make some dumb mistakes. Avoid the alcohol, avoid the drugs, avoid the bad stupid things that can potentially

cost you so much money. If you don't do those things, you put yourself in a position to be financially free, right? That's what you end up doing. Now having said that, for somebody else that is, you're going for all the marvels and you're working in ways that nobody else is, yeah you could have an expectation of, we were just in Arkansas visiting a business, we went to this place called Hot Springs,

Arkansas and we visited this two business owners Sean and in Morgan and we're there and we're driving around we're meeting these 250 employees in their city. They're rock stars 250 employees work for this company. Okay there there went from being regular guys to build on a business That's probably worth right now hundred hundred fifty million dollars and they're probably gonna be able to build this company Potentially to a half a billion to billion dollar business nice They're at that level now what they've gotten themselves that there's a possibility with that But that doesn't mean everybody is capable of doing that nor do they want to

Nor do they want if you don't want to also don't be envious of the person that becomes that okay. That's the key if you don't want to don't be envious of the guy that becomes that as well Because that person wants it's a very big difference anyways Vinny we're very Honored to know that we do a podcast with somebody that's about to be a billionaire yourself I appreciate and the way you dress today honestly today actually dress like he owns all of Fort Lauderdale. He's running for mayor. He's it works By the way, if you ran for mayor and for Lauderdale, it would be the funniest campaign What have you guys is gonna run for mayor you?

Tom definitely not Adam Adams gonna run mayor Miami, but a lot of the one of you guys gonna run It's gonna be in 20 years guys. Today's what Friday first week. We did three days. We did it, guys. Remember, remember, remember the hats. If you didn't get them, these two are going fast and it's not a lot of them. So if you wanted, one person just ordered a bunch of them for the entire office, go to VTMerch.com, place the order with the different ones that we have. One is a speckled one, snapback.
