shutdown. Mamdani wants more money less than 24 hours after getting elected. Vinny's got some thoughts on that one. Charlemagne tells Van Jones to shut up over Mamdani's speech criticism and he said it like that apparently. Families are fleeing New York City's private schools following Mamdani's victory competing for coveted Miami

spots. We're having dinner last night with this couple, not with the couple, the couple sitting next to us and after they're done having dinner I wished them a happy 37th anniversary. She says, well, listen, we were listening to you guys' conversation. Are you guys from Greenwich? We're like, no, our friend here is from Greenwich.

Greg was with us, we're having dinner. They start telling us how things are in New York. He's been a cop for New York for God knows how many years. And the stuff they were talking about with New Yorkersers friends, family, their daughters was very interesting. Mamdani taps big tech antagonist Lena Canast to co-chair mayoral transition team. Bev Portnoy destroys Mamdani after election win and threatens to move Barstool out of

calls a Tucker Carlson dishonest for normalizing Nazism by hosting white nationalists Nick Nick Fuentes, and Stephen Colbert, you guys ready what he said? Insists he's more conservative than people might think and not a lefty figure.

You know, let's cover both of those medias at the same time because we think we know why they're suddenly playing nice.

That's a good point. You had a theory that I think it's worth the audience hearing about. And we got a bunch of other things that's going on here. This transgender person who used woman's locker room at Gold's Gym stole ex-wife's name. By the way, Vinny, you have to see the first lady that's telling the story. She's like, I'm in a freaking shower.

I see a guy with his dangling hanging out. And he's exposing himself to her. And she's like, what are you doing? And she goes, tells the gym.

And guess what happens?

They kick her out.

Stop it. Stop it.

Do you have all those clips, Rob? Like I think three of them.

Yeah, it's amazing.

The clip I'm thinking of, it literally just looks like a dude. It's not even a truck.

He took the identity of his ex-wife. But first I'm gonna turn you into a lesbian by me being a girl. We'll talk about that And then my license there's just one video of any show me if we get time to get into it of a Patriot in UK Who's a hundred years old and they ask him? So how's the field now serving? He says all my friends that you just have to see this I don't want to take it away You have to watch it to see what the reaction is gonna be be. With that being said, gang, a couple of things that I do want to share with you guys. This whole auto-pin situation is getting a little bit out of control. Rob, if you want to pull up that clip, honestly, everybody's talking about auto-pin, auto-pin,

auto-pin, and it's disgusting. So what do we do? You know, here's for some of you that have big plans for 2026, watch this video. No auto-pin here. Watch this video. So if you want a signed copy of Choose Your Enemies Wisely, it's never a better time to read a book on business planning.

Right now is the time. Go to VTMerch.com. Rob, we'll put the link below if you don't mind. We'll choose your enemies wisely right there. Signed, as well as the other copies of the books that we have.

But we're looking forward to 2026 last night We were at this America business forum was on stage with bread bear and we're watching all the people that are there The types of business owners Jeff Bezos Jamie Dimon goes before me and then Steve Whitcoff is there then you have Serena Williams literally goes right after me and Steve Whitkoff is there. Then you have Serena Williams literally goes right after me and then Nadal, Trump, Messi, unbelievable. By the way, everybody in that place was talking about what's going to be happening in 2026.

Having said that, let's get right into it. Trump calls out Mamdani's very angry acceptance speech warns communism never worked anywhere. Here's the president.

I'm so torn because I would like to see the new mayor do well because I love New York. I really love New York. When I left New York for Washington, New York was doing really well, but there were some bad signs. The bad sign was a guy named de Blasio. So the signs of de Blasio, that was the beginning and it was bad. Uh, this one we're going to

look for a thousand years. Communism has not worked to just communism or the concept of communism has not worked. Uh, I tend to doubt it's going to work this time. Did you see his victory speech? It's literally never worked. Yeah, I thought it was a very angry speech. Certainly angry toward me and I think he should be very nice to me. You know, I'm the one that sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him.

So he's off to a bad start. Tom, thoughts? So I I think he's speaking for a ton of people. You know what was crazy? On the Democrat side, you didn't see like this unified cheering section. No, you did not. You did not at all. And Trump is leading what a lot of people are saying. I mean, in the, in the story rundown that you just did, you know, five minutes ago, Pat, four minutes ago, there's all of these things where people talking about, I'm upset, I'm leaving, I'm moving out people in Miami. And so I think he was measured and I think he made a point to people,

communism doesn't work gang, you may be upset but how you voted has consequences, it doesn't work and he's reminding them what they voted for and I think if anything the president was measured and showing some leadership here, not going off the way we know Trump can go off.

Yeah I thought so as well, by the way, you know what I like? It's a very weird combination of the next video I'm going to be showing you guys. Next video is a video of Scaramucci, who is not a fan of the president.

No, not at all.

But watch what he said about Mamdani, and it teaches a little bit of history here about what happened to New York with a mayor in the 60s and how long it took for New York City to recover from it.

Go ahead.

It is by 2% on people earning over a million. That's what he says he's going to do. He does. In exchange for free buses and free health care and free child care.

And I understand that. But the last time they did that, the city and the state lost 600,000 top people. Top people. They moved into places like Texas and Florida, and they're spending 185 days in those areas and less time in New York. And so that hurts the whole economic ecosystem. So he could do that, but he's got to get Governor Hochul's approval.

He's got to get the assembly and the state senate to do that in Albany. But there's another big problem. If you examine his campaign, it's very similar to John Lindsay's campaign in the late 1960s. People don't remember John Lindsay, but what he did was he borrowed a tremendous amount of money to put through a lot of free services. The tax revenues went down, the base went down, and by 1975, his successor mayor, Abraham Beam, was stuck in a financial crisis, and they had to effectively declare bankruptcy

for the city

and then restructure the city. It took 15 years. It wasn't until 1990 that the city actually started healing itself. So we'll see. People from Wall Street that have met with the new mayor, the mayor-elect, are saying that he's arrogant. So we'll see.

He wants to raise taxes but-

Tom, what do you think about what Scaramucci said there?

I think Scaramucci's right and I'll give you personal reflection on it. In 1976, I was in middle school, and we had a field trip. We were going from Connecticut, took a bus into New York to go to two museums, Museum of Natural History, it's been there, and just museum stuff.

And my mom was worried about it because New York was, on one side of New York were these things like museums, but the other side of New York was like a cesspool. There was this thing called 42nd Street. And if you look up 42nd Street in the 70s, it was a cesspool.

It was worse than Main Street Amsterdam with prostitution and peep shows and pornography,

you know, advertised right on the street. peep shows and pornography

advertised right on the street. Peep shows? It was really bad.

Wow.

Really, really bad. And this is 75, 80. And that's exactly when Mayor Bean came in. And I remember as a freshman in high school, sitting in Connecticut, and we had like a economics and sociology course,

and they were talking about the plight of New York City, that this incredible city, and it's all this thing that was in such trouble and they were in trouble. They were looking for federal support, they were looking for help and I'll tell you he's right. Scaramucci there can sometimes be very blustery but he is correctly talking about what happened in the 60s and all of a sudden in 1975 Mayor Beam inherited this mess.

He was followed by Mayor Koch and finally he's right. It took until the 90s to get the city on its feet. And then remember Rudy Giuliani took it up a level and went after the mob, went after the waterfront and went after things and took it up a level. So look how long it took. It wasn't just 1990.

Yeah, I don't know if everybody is thinking how long it's going to take to recover, but some people are just excited about it. Adam, your thoughts on this year?

So as someone that is the biggest advocate for Miami, I kind of feel grateful because, you know, they say finders keepers, losers weepers, or, you know, one man's losses, another man's gain. I truly believe we're about to see the decline of New York City. And it pains me to say that because even though that I'm born and raised in Miami and I love Miami, this is where I want to be, New York City is my favorite city in the world. I've been to London, I've been to Paris, I've been to Rome, I've been everywhere.

New York City has something so unique about it. And to see a self-proclaimed democratic socialist slash communist slash Islamist slash pro-Palestine terrorist sympathizer be the mayor of the home of capitalism, the home of Wall Street, the home of the New York Yankees, and we know an owner or two.

It's just, it's sad, but it also tells you that New York has to look in the mirror and say, how did we get here? And I said this before, I think that when they did the, what was it, the organizations they did in the Wall Street thing, what do they call it exactly? Occupy Wall Street at the moment, that that movement did not dissipate.

It only grew. And you have these 35 and under crowd who genuinely hate what America stands for. They hate what capitalism stands for. All they know is socialism. And if you look at Gen Z, they empathize way more with socialism. So you were starting to see the, uh, the cracks in the, uh, in the Voss that is New York city. And it doesn't make me happy to see it. But as someone that lives in Miami, I know that is New York City. It doesn't make me happy to see it,

but as someone that lives in Miami, I know that realtors are salivating, I know that business people are salivating, and the future looks bright in Miami.

Here's what President Trump had to say when he said the, you know, turn up the volume, when Mamdani said, President Trump, I know you're watching this, turn up the volume.

Go ahead, Rob. up the volume go ahead rob one point he says turn the volume up

president trump when i say this to get to any of us

you will have to get through all of us

how do you respond to that does that it does not affect anything you're gonna do is a very dangerous statement for him to make actually and you know you talk about danger i think it's a very dangerous statement from the lake he has to be a little bit respectful of Washington, because if he's not, he doesn't have a chance of succeeding. And I want to make him succeed. I want to make the city

succeed. I don't want to make him succeed. I want to make the city succeed. And we'll see what happens. You see reaching out to him. I would say he should reach out to us really. I think he should

reach out. I'm here. PPD, how do you process that? Because to me, that's a very mature diplomatic statement when he could eviscerate him. How do you interpret that? That's what

I said last night. What I said last night when I said he's at level 100, having gone

through the fire mentally tough. Vinny, what are you thinking? Well, I mean, well, first and foremost, on the Mamdani situation, how he spoke, I want people to understand the sudden switch. Did you see Van Jones when he was on whatever show he was on, and he's like, I can't, this is literally the moment he wins,

he gets behind the mic, and you hear the anger, do you hear the anger, you hear the bitterness, it's almost like a I got you and it's people like Van Jones I got buyers remorse because they were talking so proud about him five minutes before Pat and they were duped. He said um he goes he used to be calm, warmed and embracing yeah that's what you get. He

exposed his true Marxist attitude, he was angry, is this it Rob? Can we play that Rob?

I think he missed an opportunity. I think the Mamadani that we saw on the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech. And I think that Mamadani is the one you need to hear from tonight. There are a lot of people trying to figure out, can I get on this train with him or not? Is he going to include me? Is he going to be more of a class warrior, even in office? I think he missed a chance tonight to open up and bring more people into the tent.

I think he had his tone.

That's good.

So his tone and it's like weird, weird. And what happened, pal?

What is it always about? I'm sorry. Whose tent is Van Jones talking about? Which one? He says bring more people under the tent. Which tent?

He's talking about the Democrat party tent.

Of course. And Domi is not building that tent.

No. And who voted? Who were the majority of the people that were voting for him were who? The working class? No, it was angry, white, liberal women and the younger people that are getting promised free stuff. And you made a great point, Pat.

And this is the third time that I'm talking about it. Everybody's talking about the mass exodus. All the millionaires and billionaires that Bernie Sanders talks about. And you said it last night, again, who's going to be moving to New York? Okay? Illegals, because he's going to be soft on crime and he wants to empty up the jails,

number one. Number two, all the criminals, all the illegals, everybody wants to come because, you know, why be in jail? He loves illegals because it was a sanctuary city and then honestly the Muslim community and I want everybody to understand one thing I Criticize Christians I criticize Jewish people Israel and don't think for two seconds that I'm not going to criticize Muslims as well. This is October Pat

This is a father walking through the Bronx and if you don't think this is gonna start happening, you're an idiot This is a guy in the Bronx and I'm all for everybody having your religions they're in the

middle of the street doing this type of prayer God Rob play this October

but you cannot take us who said me what gives you special pleasure you cannot

take ready you said that you cannot do that tolerant boom this is in the Bronx New York a father's trying to walk now in the Bronx this is the Bronx and if you don't think this is gonna start happening more and more and more, you are insane. And I look, can I make one? You can stop it.

And then did you see his intern? Mamdani's intern, how her attitude is about. Oh, you guys already played it? OK, so we don't have to play it. you Pat, I feel like this guy is going to be the beginning and it's going to start happening more and more and more and I give it two years and people are going to see what New York

has become. Van Jones had it backwards. He's correct, but he has it backwards. He said this mandami was, the mandami that we saw, the warm and you know, toned down a little bit during the campaign is not the mandami we saw here. You need to understand, Van, the mandami you saw here is mandami. That's the mandami you didn't see during the campaign.

Exactly, and Rob, can we just-

This is the real guy. The box is open, and the real, you just paid for it. Now you gotta open the box and see what you really bought.

And for everybody that's in New York, and I'm gonna pray for you, and I'm sorry. You were like, he's all the free stuff, free buses, we don't need, we're gonna tax the rich. What did he do the very next day? He's asking for your money. Play this Rob.

Good morning, New York City. Thank you. Yeah. Last night we made history and today we begin the work of making a new administration. Welcome to the transition. Great. This is the period over the next few months where we build a city hall that delivers on the promises of our campaign. To make New York City affordable and to make government accountable to the people it serves. As we prepare to govern, we'll start announcing the leaders who will help implement our agenda. People like deputy mayors who oversee entire areas of government,

and the commissioners who carry out the critical work of city agencies. These appointments will be driven by excellence, integrity, and a hunger to solve old problems with new solutions. Talking to organizers on the front lines of the fight to improve our city, government veterans with proven track records, policy experts from around the country and the world, and working people who know better than anyone what our neighborhoods deserve.

And this will be a period, like the campaign we ran and the city hall to come, defined by transparency. Because New Yorkers deserve a government they can trust. On January 1st, I will be your mayor. New Year's Day, and a new era for this city.

Oh, and uh, one more thing. You have to wait.

Remember how I told you a few months ago to stop sending us money? Guess what?

You can be sustainable. We need money. Stop, you're thugger off. All that, think about all the build up. We're going to do this, but I need your money now.

Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not surprised. I will tell you, you know, when this is happening, the biggest question is what level of action families will take. You know, we were at a dinner last night. Everybody was speaking about this. They're walking by our table. They're talking to us about what's going on in New York City.

Lady's got a 65-unit apartment that her father gave to her in her inheritance that she took over. She sold in January. She says, you know what some of the laws were in New York? People didn't have to pay rent. And they're like, no, I don't have to pay rent and they're like no I don't have to pay rent but you make money Based on the new laws that they have I don't have to pay rent. I saw a clip Rob

I don't know if I send it I don't think I send it to you I'm gonna I'm gonna forward it to you and if you can go to like the 40 second mark when I forward this to you It's a video of him saying he's highlighting this apartment where the owner is not taking care of the tenants which makes sense you know there are you know owners that that don't take care of the the tenants and the tenants have the choice to leave to go to a different place you don't have to stay there but watch what he says which is the most powerful part

folks and and if you can fast-forward Rob and go to right about there play it from right there. Watch this.

Go ahead. The mayor's office to protect tenants, bringing code enforcement under one roof and making sure that agencies are working together to hold bad landlords accountable. Starting on day one, we will expand the city's special enforcement programs, doubling fines for hazardous violations and tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous. And when a really bad landlord like this guy

refuses to fix it, the city's gonna step in, make the repairs and send them to the building. If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building. We're putting the worst landlords out of business and we're going to transform 311.

Go back five seconds. Go back five seconds. Go back right there.

Say it again. Listen folks. Go ahead. Like this guy refuses to fix it, the city's gonna step in, make the repairs, and send them the bill. If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building. We're putting the worst landlords out of business and we're going to transform

311 by bringing the latest in cutting-edge technology.

Yeah, Ben Phillips, shout out to him, He sent this clip to me, and he says we're gonna take over the building

So you mean like seize the means of production like So he's saying

Yes, and people voted for that's right But but the point is you know what that means yes You know what that means. Yes. You know what that means. The challenge is, he's going to need Albany to get some of this stuff done. That's what this family was saying last night.

He's going to need HOKL. What's the likelihood of HOKL agreeing to the 2% increase on the rich?

Very low.

She's up for re-election. She's up for reelection. What is does he need her help also to be able to increase the corporate taxes same thing? He's got to go through Albany Tom yes, yes some of it I'm diving into it with Brandon so that we can really know step by step what you can and can't do some of the Things he can do with the stroke of a pen similar to our president's executive order some of the other things

He can't we're gonna put the list so people can see well, we're gonna see remember that one Mayor that scare Moochie was talking about Lindsay pre 1971 you know this this guy apparently used to be a Republican man a Republican guy then he became a Democrat and he stayed with the party Can you zoom in a little bit Rob go down a little bit on this political affiliation?

Okay, right there right to go up 1971 during his term as a mayor Lindsay switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party same year He launched a brief unsuccessful bid for Democratic presidential nomination in 1980 He made an unsuccessful bid for Democratic nomination for US Senate so this has been tested out the only difference with this guy's he wasn't a you know a Muslim himself he was what happened before he went to school. You're right keep going, but look where he went to school

What's that? What school are you seeing Tom the Buckley school highly liberal St. Paul's and Yale? Yeah, but but but here's I want to get to this next one And then we can kind of move on from mom Donnie because he's officially yours, New York, congratulations. We're very happy for you guys.

Congratulations New York Mazel Tov.

Yeah, so Zoran Mamdani taps Big Tech antagonist Lena Kanaz co-chair mayoral transition team. You should see his transition team. He doesn't believe in hiring men, okay? It was, did you see this Rob?

Was it Lena Kahn? What's her name? Lisa Kahn. She doesn't believe in hiring men, okay? It was, did you see this Rob? Was everybody- Was it Lena Khan?

What's her name? Lisa Khan. Lisa Khan. Go to play the- Lena. I'm sorry, Lena Khan.

Yeah.

Play this clip Rob. Good morning everybody.

It's great to see you all.

I want to start off by just congratulating our mayor elect, Mamdani, on a incredible victory and a just remarkable campaign this last year. I think what we saw last night was New Yorkers not just electing a new mayor, but clearly rejecting a politics where outsized corporate power and money too often end up dictating our politics. And a clear mandate for change where New Yorkers can get ahead and where all workers and small businesses can thrive, not just get by. I think what we saw through the campaign was an operation that showed extraordinary discipline, rigor, talent, and I know that Zoran has the vision and courage to make-

Can you pause it right there? Okay, just so you know who she is. She's the former Federal Trade Commission chair, and she's going to be serving as a co-chair on the transition team and the 36-year-old Democrat who brought major cases against Meta on Amazon while running the FTC from 2021 to 2025 surprised some onlookers on Wednesday as she appeared alongside Mamdani at his first post-election press conference.

Tom, why is it so important to businesses in New York City?

Because he has picked somebody who is picking on businesses. And by the way, this was a pick that, in my opinion, of everything I've read, that was an Obama-influenced pick that was made by Biden, because she was named to the Federal Trade Commission. And my opinion, based on what I've read, is that Biden didn't really understand everything

about her and she was kind of pushed through by other people that were working with Biden to get it done. And all she did for her time there was question every merger. All mergers aren't bad. Sometimes mergers save jobs by creating a single stronger organization out of two. And she picked on people, and I'm not against

that some of the things that Mehta was asked to answer for, like the stuff they were intentionally trying to hook young girls to get them to stay on, and they were suffering, you know, psychological effects, that's where government steps in to do good things like OSHA, right? OSHA stepping in.

But what she was doing, FTC, this was her mandate. She was anti-capitalist. So it wasn't just the FTC, Pat, trying to make good business decisions, good decisions about businesses to protect citizens and investors and things. She was actively anti-capitalist and I believe that she was put there by other people and that Biden didn't really know what he put there. And now she, no surprise, the lady picking on business is now picked by Mandami to lead his transition.

One other thing to think about, I mean, listen, there's two ends of the spectrum. She's a progressive and she's very aggressive when it comes to monopolies and antitrust laws, which we understand we don't want monopolies in this, in this country, but she's also what it would appear to be very anti-capitalist. So, uh, I think she made her name really advocating against Amazon. And if you remember what happened in New York right before COVID, you have a representative

in New York named AOC, our friends in New York know her, who was vocally and politically opposed to Jeff Bezos moving a headquarters. HQ2 or something. Exactly. To New York. Do you know how much money this would have brought to New York? Do you know how much money this would have brought to New York?

Do you know how many jobs this would have brought to New York? Do you know how much more opportunity?

25,000 jobs at $150,000 average salary.

You don't think New Yorkers want that job? You don't think New Yorkers who are struggling with affordability and the wage gap and the wealth gap wanted those jobs? It's okay to be anti-trust and anti-monopoly, I get it, but when you're anti-capitalist and anti-business, that's where people have a problem with people like this.

And Pat, just FYI, today, Stefani, since you guys are talking about governors, she just launched her gubernatorial race for 2026, and she said, when New Yorkers were looking for strong, this is about Hokel, strong leadership from a governor Hochul bent the knee. So it just started today. Yeah, but the question again is,

is Mamdani going to be able to do the things with taxes

with the support of Hochul?

Hochul was asked about Mamdani, taxed or rich, taxed or rich, did you guys see this clip or no? Taxed or rich, and she said, settle down, settle down, settle down. And then afterwards when they asked her do you you know? What do you think cuz she started getting upset at the audience that we're chanting is this the one Rob? That's the one go ahead Rob play the clip watch this

Tax the rich tax the rich, Tax the rich! Tax the rich! Tax the rich!

I was talking about saying repeat the word, she said it worse.

But to young people with no drugs.

I can hear you.

Okay, afterwards when they asked her, are you going to tax the rich? She says, you know, I don't really know what they were saying. I thought they were saying something like let's go, you know, I don't really know what they were saying. I thought they were saying something like, let's go. You know, actually she said that.

Are you serious?

No, no, not Brandon. She says, I thought they were saying, let's go to New York. Let's go something like that. So look, who knows, but let's look at business owners and what type of action they're taking. Here's Dave Portnoy.

Okay. Here's Dave Portnoy, okay, New York attitude energy media Vocal here's what she he said about what he's planning on doing with What he called a bar stool sports and His reaction to it because bar stool, you know, I believe they're in New York City Definitely New York City destroys. He's in Florida after election. He He lives in Florida but I think Barstool is in New York.

Destroys Mamdani after election and threatens to move Barstool out of New York City. This is his tweet that he's saying perfectly well there's no perfect man in New York City. Thank God I don't live there anymore. A relieved Dave Portnoy says's thankfully no longer lives there mom Donnie just 34 got elected after mom Donnie You know on Scott Jennings Brandon a great actor on X concluded Scott Jennings sums up I'm Donnie perfectly, but if this is what the people of New York City want then so be a thank God I don't live there anymore port no has previously expressed his disdain for mom Donnie and his left-wing ideology and

Rob is this him talking about the bar stool or he's talking about the fact that he's an actor?

This is the Scott Jennings clip.

Scott Jennings talking about that mom and dad, he's an actor? Go ahead and play the clip.

He's the greatest actor you have. You know, he turned himself into a hood ornament for the poor and the downtrodden. He's a rich kid who is a great actor.

He play acts. Yeah, I'll tell you what I can understand why you'd be

Leary of an actor in politics. I'm just saying there's no other obvious Democrat I'm trying to say all the energy behind him you talk about slicing and dicing the electorate He's gonna slice it and dice it in one way Oppressors and oppressed no, I want to find out if he has it in him to give it up I don't think he does because that's the energy in the Democratic Party. It's oppressors and oppressed. That's why the Jews in this city feel scared because they know he has labeled them as the oppressors. That's why people who create jobs in New York City are leery because he labels them the oppressors. That is the the worldview of the

energy of this campaign. And it's also the world of the energy of Democratic primaries across this country. I love it

I stopped talking bro. Oh by the way. He's gonna be in the 2020 at elections. Michael Jennings is gonna be running as well He may be a president VP. He's gonna do something. Well there. Hey is anyone leave in New York City? Is anyone even leave in New York City watch this families are fleeing New York City private schools following Mamdani's victory competing for coveted Miami spots. Adam, I'm coming to you with this one and then Tom right afterwards to you. So you know, they're not going to leave New York City, Vinny.

I remember hearing that somewhere. No one's going to leave New York City. It's not going to happen. Zora Mamdani's victory has New Yorkers running for the hills or at least private schools outside of the city. Since the result of Tuesday's election and school placement, consultant Christopher Rim told The Post that he has had no less than 23 clients reach out to him.

They're looking to relocate, and they want to help getting their kids into private elite high schools and middle schools in other states. Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani's victory, I got three messages from families looking to move, said Rim, the founder and CEO of

Command Education. Over the summer I started hearing families say, I don't know what we're going to do if this guy wins. He said, feeling that a Mamdani victory was inevitable, six of his clients moved to Connecticut, Greenwich, Darien, and Riverside ahead of the school year. They were like, he's going to win and there's no reason to wait.

The parents who have reached out to him have kids enrolled at top-notch New York City schools, including Trinity, Riverdale, Horace Mann, Ramaz and Avenues. Their children range from third grade through high school. Many he reports are Jewish and are concerned about his rising anti-Semitism in the city and Mamdani's views on Israel.

Adam. So it's going to happen. You know, we're like, we're asking that we're posing this question, like, are people leaving? I don't know where they do this. Listen, I've seen New Yorkers flirt with moving to Florida my entire life and pre-internet, pre-social media, pre-COVID, pre-Zoom, I would always ask these

questions, especially when I was like in the nightlife world, they'd come down every winter, New Year's, have the best time of their life. And they're like, man, I love it here, man. I was like, well, why don't you guys just move here? If you love it so much, well, that, the other. And then what we saw happen during COVID, they were just like, yo, we out. And if you don't think it's going to happen, there's precedent for this. Just look at California. You left California. You left California. You left California. How many companies left California during COVID? We know Tesla, Oracle, I think Hewlett-Packard, Palantir, they all moved to Texas.

Charles Schwab, Chevron, Rogen famously went to Austin. So California, when the wealthy have had enough, they move to Texas, and in some cases Vegas or Tennessee. It's no secret, when New Yorkers have had enough, and they say, all right, we can move to Connecticut, we can move to New Jersey, whatever, whatever. All right.

We're out. We're moving to Miami. We're moving to Fort Lauderdale. We're moving to Boca. We've seen it a million times. It's not even a question. So New Yorkers are going to come here. They're going to come in droves and the cost to live in Miami now is going to Everything's supply and demand. So, uh, I continue to say this Zoran Mamdani is a case example of what not to do, but what to do if you want to get elected. Think about this. If you want to run a, if I wanted to run as a Democrat, anybody wants to run as a Democrat,

it's the easiest thing to do. It's the, do you want, like when I ran for student body government in fifth grade, I was like, do you want free pizza? Do you want, like when I ran for student body government in fifth grade, I was like, do you want free pizza? Do you want to have PE six times a day? Do you want to not do homework? Vote for me. Everyone's like, hell yeah.

The hardest thing to do is run as a Republican, especially, do you want to have to work your ass off? Do you want to have to actually put in the work and build the business? Do you actually want to have to wake up early, get stuff done, raise your family, raise your kids? I know it's not easy, but someone has to do it. Are you up for the challenge? That's the difference. Like the Democratic Party to me is free, free, free, free pizza, which I ran for in fifth grade.

Zoran Mondani is doing it today. By the way, got elected, homie. Get that. Never. Nobody ever got free pizza. But then the next day he asked for the money for the pizza. Hey, by the way, can I get some money for the pizza? So we've seen this show before and I love New York, but best of luck. Buena suerte, New Yorkers.

Many thoughts.

No, I just it's it's to say that people aren't leaving and we've heard it on people's podcasts, like what, a week before it happened, they're going to leave. Let me ask you a question. If you're a, let's say you're worth $50 million and you're in New York, what's that 2% Tom that's going to hit you? That 2%?

It's huge.

Oh, it's huge. So you're making Tom do math?

So my question is, how does that feel Tom? So my question is... It's actually not the 50 million. What is it? The 2% is million dollars he's going to pay for that. But he wants to take corporate tax from 7.3 to 11.4. That's 4% on corporation revenue. That means what he's trying to say is it's literally moving jobs away from, what do you

call it, from companies creating the jobs to the government creating jobs. That's all he's doing. He's moving the 4%. Anytime they raise taxes, the way to interpret that is the following. They're telling you the government can do better with your money than free markets.

That's all they're saying. The government can do better than the free market. It's like a new CEO getting hired at the company and here's how they campaign you ready. Hey Amazon vote for me to be the new CEO of Amazon because what we're gonna do is Lower the salaries of the big executives and we're gonna raise the salaries of the minimum wage I'm gonna make sure these executives that are making

four, five, six million dollars a year, we're gonna bring them down to a million. No executive should make more than a million dollars a year at Amazon. But if you're only making $60,000, we're gonna raise your living wages

from 60 to $200,000 a year. Who's gonna be voting for that? 80% of people at companies don't make that much money. Look, holy shit. I love this CEO They're gonna vote for him. Then a new CEO comes in then guess what those executives do. Uh, hey corn fairy Yeah, I'm looking so I'm gonna call Google meta everybody else. Let them know I'm looking because they just slashed my salary in half

It's basic mathematics Tom. Go ahead. No, you know what to Matt's point here I'm gonna add to it and the actual and here come the haters. You're gonna just descend on me We go if you look at the report card of people that are running Businesses and take away the bad actors the people that that don't treat people. Well, you only have about 33 40 percent of executives in this country that are truly great executives. You listen to the things about me,

Pat and I saw a clip from Jeff Bezos as he was coming in and he's connected to the American Business Forum where Pat was interviewed by Brett Baer. And you see real genius and you see people and you say, well, that's why that company's there.

And you listen to them and it's like It's it's amazing There's only so many of them and if you want to chase them out of the of your company you do it at your own risk bad CEOs Lose great teams. We saw it happen. We talked about We talked about Chipotle. We talk about Brian Nickell, you

know, he attracts great teams and gets great results. There's not a whole lot of those guys. So if you want to chase great businesses out, there's not a whole lot of great businesses that are going to grow over 20 years and are going to bring jobs and bring things in. There's not a lot of those opportunities. And it's arrogant to say, well, the government that is not in the business of running businesses is going to run businesses. And by the way, do you know how he takes away that apartment building?

He already knows he's going to get it because he's putting restrictions on you as a landlord. He's putting controls on you as a landlord. You don't have the money to do the things that he wants you to do. Vinny, did you do this, this, and this? I don't have the money to do it. Oh, that's a no.

We'll be back next week. Did you do this, this, and this?

I don't have the money.

Guess what? We're going to do it. We're going to come in and do all that stuff. And here's a plan. It's a plan So on one side, it's a plan and on the other side and it's an unintended consequence You have some people that it's a complete unintended consequence because they say we're gonna be men of the people We're gonna do this and you chase out the good people just the way bad CEOs chase out great great teams

Then on the other hand, it's intentional, intentional, the workers will control the means of production.

We're gonna take it.

Yep, there it is.

You're seeing it. He's already speaking a language. This guy here just literally tweeted right now, DankerD49erNative, you guys could buy a New York school and relocate them to Miami, pay the teachers to move down and draw the demand.

Eventually, we're gonna be doing that, just not right now. By the way, for those of you guys that are watching, if you haven't posted a question yet on Manek Circle, at the end of it, we'll try to get to one or two of the questions. I know this topic of New York City is very, very important

and sensitive to a lot of you. Go to Manek Circle, download the app, and then at the end of it, we'll address some of the questions. Go ahead. Real quick, you interviewed a guy probably five years ago,

I think, I believe his name was Dan Price?

Yes.

Gravity Payment, something like that?

Yes, it was a merchant account company.

Okay, so this guy practiced what I believe was called ethical capitalism. There he is right there, respectfully. He was making a million dollars a year, I believe as the CEO and you know, salaries range all over. He said, you know what guys moving forward, bing, bing, bing, we're all equal. Everyone's going to make, I think $70,000 was the number. Does that

strike the- That's it. 1.1 million to 70K.

All right. Everyone's going to make 70K and oh, that's so sweet. That's so nice. Oh my god. We're all equally. I'll do the exact same thing Oh, we're all living in a fairy tale. That's not how life works. I think the company might have gone under I'm not sure if he is even still relevant I'm not sure where the the story ends, but the company did not succeed. You can't just pay everyone the exact same amount I'll give you another example. So there's two players, one, arguably the best player in the league and one arguably the worst player in the league. They're on the

same team. And one is called LeBron James and one is called Ronnie James. Respectfully nice young guy. Still has time. Are they related by any chance? They are sir. One I think makes $50 million a year and one makes, I would assume the rookie minimum in this world, you pay them the exact same amount. It doesn't matter what you've done. Doesn't matter. Your track record doesn't matter. You put butts in seats. Doesn't matter that you're the arguably the greatest living player, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah. We're all equal guys. The problem is that's not how things work. I think Shohei Otani, our greatest player right now other than Aaron Judge maybe. I think he makes, what's his contract? $700 million. They're showing us $700 million, Tom. Yeah. 700. Okay. Worth every penny. Yeah.

Yeah. And by the way, I'd like to go to the next story. Anything else or no, I'm just

saying, you can't, the great, but the point is this, people don't understand CEOs, you pay for great CEOs, do you not?

Yeah.

Who's the guy that they said, was it?

Brian Nicol.

No, that's not Brian Nicol.

Who's the guy, was it Starbucks? Who was the guy, I don't take phone calls after, I don't take phone calls after five o'clock? But they paid some guy, I think you saw in Chipotle you pay for greatness. The predecessor said that. They don't understand that in the corporate world or socialists don't understand that I got but they have no

problem with you know paying LeBron. Let's go to next story let's go to next story okay so that's that now while all of this stuff is going on you know you have Ben Shapiro blasts dishonest Tucker Carlson for normalizing Nazism by hosting white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Why would he ever have Nick Fuentes on his podcast? I mean I can't imagine anybody ever doing such a thing but is this what is this right here?

This is Ben Shapiro. Okay go for it. Hey folks I want to do something different on today's show. We're gonna cover one topic in depth. That topic is, I think, the most important thing happening in the country. It was a hot topic last week, but I wanted to take some time to really gather my thoughts

and speak on it in coherent fashion, holistic fashion. That topic is the fragmentation of the political right. That fragmentation is being caused purposefully by a splinter faction of people led by a young man named Nick Fuentes. They call themselves the Groypers.

They are white supremacists, they hate women, Jews, Hindus, many types of Christians, brown people of a wide variety of backgrounds, blacks, America's foreign policy, and America's constitution. They admire Hitler and Stalin.

And that splinter faction is now being facilitated and normalized within the mainstream Republican party. The main agent in that normalization is Tucker Carlson, who is an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor, and a terrible friend. And Tucker Carlson last week was aided, abetted,

celebrated for normalizing Nazism within the Republican party by the mainstay organization of the traditional right, the Heritage Foundation. Now, before we explain what's been happening, let's make one thing clear. This is not about free speech or cancellation.

It was never about free speech or cancellation. Free speech has a definition, the right to speak free of governmental coercion. I believe in it, of course, I've always defended it. Criticism of bad speech is in fact, just a form of free speech. Cancellation also has a definition, the banning of particular people,

including people like Nick Fuentes, from platforms like X or Facebook. I believe that Nick Fuentes is odious and despicable, but I've never called for his cancellation. And in fact, I've called for his restoration to those services,

despite the fact that I think he's odious and despicable. It is not cancellation to draw moral lines between viewpoints. In fact, we used to call that one of the key aspects of conservatism. It is not cancellation to refuse to signal boost Hitler supporters like Nick Fuentes. It is not cancellation to criticize Tucker Carlson.

You can pause right there.

Okay, Adam, go ahead. I'm pulling something up.

Go ahead.

No, no, it's your story.

It's your thing. Go ahead. Just grab us on one thing. So when Ben called, by the way, Rob, I sent you a clip. That's what I was waiting on. And I'll get back to that in a second. When Ben called Tucker Carlson a intellectual coward, dishonest interlocutor, and terrible

friend, you know what stuck out to me? The terrible friend part. Because I'm totally an advocate of free speech. We've had Nick Fuentes here. I mean, I've received so much criticism for shaking Nick's hand, playing basketball with Nick. What's weird is I get along with Nick.

You've seen this. Do I disagree on his judgment of Jews and Israel and blacks and immigrants? Of course. Any reasonable person would draw those conclusions. But is there a sliver of truth in what he's saying?

Of course because otherwise why would people resonate with this? The terrible friend to me thing is what is what pains me. You mean to tell me you're gonna have Tucker Carlson, you're gonna have Nick Fuentes on who in many ways made his name shitting on Charlie Kirk and not even a little bit.

Who's talking?

The entire thing.

Nick Quintez.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Made a living on shitting on Charlie and for Tucker to not even mention it once. Not even like, Hey, listen, as you know, Charlie was a friend. Tucker spoke at Charlie's funeral. How many people spoke at Charlie's funeral? 20, maybe, in the world? To not even mention, hey, I really don't like that. I really don't, I don't like what you did there.

I hear you. But to not even mention it, it's so weak and cowardly to me. Okay, moving on. If someone tells me, hey, I'm a huge fan of Hitler. I'll be like, okay, cool. No followup questions, but not one. Oh, by the way, I remember December 19th is a great day for me. What's December 19th? Stalin's

birthday, December 18th. So my bad. Okay. We'll circle back to that. Hey Tucker, you never circled back buddy. And you were never planning on circling back. So to me, I said this three months ago. If I had to pick who actually I trust more to believe in what they believe in, Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson, give me Nick Fuentes all day. I think Tucker's an actor. I think he's a faker. I think he's a gas lighter. That's my opinion. Come at me. What's all good. This clip is from the Nestor Sousa. He's been on the show. This is his opinion on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens.

Go ahead.

Tucker doesn't even purport to be knowledgeable about anything. So, as a result, what Tucker says is, I will develop a ventriloquist style. I have strong opinions, but I don't want to defend any of them. So, I will set up a structure in which I bring in sources, often rather dubious sources,

people you've never heard of, you know, the nun with the mustache, some disgraced academic, and what I'll do is I will ask sort of leading questions that in which is embedded an answer, my answer, but framed as a question. You then will blurt out the obvious implications of the question, giving me the answer I expected, but I will pretend to be thunderstruck by it. It's an epiphany. It's a new revelation. People have been suppressing this kind of thinking for decades. So this

is a shtick. It's a different shtick than Candace. Candace's shtick is the Candace Intelligence Agency. I'm like the world's greatest detective. You know, I'm the Pink Panther of my time. I'm deputizing all my viewers also to be detectives. Feed me information. We're going to crack the case. So to me, this is like an intellectual embarrassment

because all my life I've been an iconoclast.

You can pause that.

I actually think he's absolutely right. That's my opinion. But Dinesh Yusuf is a credible guy in the conservative movement. Why is Ben, what do you think Ben's so upset about the fact that he's just speaking with him? Because you made the point, a bad friend to who? Is he talking about Charlie? That's exactly what he's talking about.

That's what he's talking about. And here's my question. I think so. Well, yeah, we're assuming. I don't know because he's not. Say what you want to say because here's my thing, Pat. The beauty about conversations that you've had, you've talked to Bibi, you've talked to him, the spectrum of people from Nick Fuentes, everybody. Why doesn't Ben, because Ben's turned down other times where we wanted to have debates with, meaning with Candice or him, he refuses to sit down.

Sit down with this person, have a conversation, and guess what? If your argument is better and it's gonna win, hold on, let me ask you a question. Do you think Ben Shapiro would sit down one-on-one against Tucker Carlson? Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson. And just talk it out. I wanna say that they've tried to arrange something

and one of them,

cause my thing is this, Pat.

Who do you think won't? Can you run a poll, I mean if the audience watches it, who do you think won't agree to a two-hour debate? Tucker Carlson, don't say any opinion so we get them to think. Who do you think won't do it? Ben Shapiro or Tucker Carlson?

Put that poll.

You guys vote for it. I'm curious to know what you guys would think about this.

Who would not show up to the debate? Who would not agree to it?

No, no, no. Show up. Yeah, we're not agreed to it. Let's just say let's just say a Megan Kelly says I want to host a debate with Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson, right and Who would say no to that debate? I'm curious to know how people are gonna vote So continue

It's it's Conversation because he's gonna sit there and we heard that two-minute, you know rant of his-speech, pro-this, pro-that, then what are you worried about? That he's giving them a platform, that he's asking them questions? Because I think the best thing is to do like what you did, sit there, find out who this person is, how do they get to where they're saying, why are they saying the stuff that they're doing, is it for the stuff, it's like, come on. I have some opinions on this, but Tom, go ahead.

So, Pat, I've been with you a long time and looking at the things, there's only so many hours in the day, and the things we decided to talk about, one of the things that Pat pushed this year, correctly so, was the difference of signal versus noise.

Let's get to signal of the things that are gonna move forward, the company, the lives of the people that are giving this chapter of their career to the company, and all the things we do. All the stuff you could talk about. I'm trying to figure out why does Ben wake up one morning and just decide that he's gonna put a well-constructed show

together on Tucker Carlson for putting Nick Fuentes on the show of all the things that can be talked about. I know why. Of the of the plight of the I'm gonna name two. The plight of the Jews and what's about to happen in New York under Mondami. The the peace that's coming together hostages and bodies that are coming home and and that the future where does where do we go from here in

the Middle East how do we get a sustaining peace? He's well versed on so many of these things. Why does he wake up and take one day, you know, and more to go after this rather than all the stuff he could be talking about? And Ben is an incredibly smart intellect that can put together amazingly crafted arguments. I'm just as upset as he might be with it.

It kind of confused me as why, why waste your airtime on this?

Do you know why? Did you, did you actually watch the, um, his, I think it was 40 minutes. Did you watch the whole thing? No. Okay. I read, I've read several summaries, but I have not like put it on two X and gone through the whole thing. I watched it. Um, I think if By the way, if there were a debate if there's one thing I will give Ben Shapiro credit for is that guy debates I'm not saying I agree, but like at all the talker talker Answered the point. Sure. Here's the point. He gave the whole he outlined the whole thing actually in my opinion has nothing to do with Judaism or Christianity or this?

Ben Shapiro at the very end. I don't know if we can play it gives this sort of like impassioned speech He said damn it. I've worked my whole life for this the conservative movement and I'm not gonna sit here While these people try to ruin it and that to me is what he's talking about He's basically saying our enemy should be the far left and the woke left and what's going on there and you're gonna try to fracture the Republican Party and the conservative movement over this nonsense over this Nazism this racism this chauvinism whatever he kind of outlines if you go to the last two minutes you'll hear it we're not that to me Rob I'm

saying that to me is what he stands for is basically saying the midterms are coming up in one year exactly the left is salivating at this internal civil war. Because don't forget, they call it the woke right for a reason, because it's a mirror image of what's going on in the far woke left.

You know, whatever's going on in the far left, the mirror image to the right is what's going on there. You think Ben is a unifier? That's not the word I would use to describe in Shapiro you think Tucker's a unifier no okay you think Charter was a unifier 1 million percent 1 million percent it well if you're a reasonable person it was a unifier I agree I think a lot of you're left here's a divider here's my here's my opinion on this on a

couple different things that I go through number one so Ben Shapiro the more they talk about Nick Fuentes the more they raise his profile yeah Nick Fuentes if I'm his agent I would say Nick phenomenal your number one PR rep this week was Ben Shapiro send him a $10 dollar go fund me and congratulate him and say thank you for supporting the cause and raising awareness to who I am. Okay? That's what that is. Number two, you know, I would go and sit down like those trigonometry guys, you know, who they're trigger nometry guys would sit down with me and we did an interview one time and he came

very strong at me. I'm like, that's right after I called it the daily you know yeah and my Constantine did yeah and I'm like oh I got you and I corrected him I said no no no no qualified awards I'm sorry I did yes it so I don't like so then I'm like okay I got what's going on because again I'm not in this community yeah I'm like there is a Tucker camp there is a Shapiro camp, and both sides bow down to both. Okay?

Fair. No problem. Then there is the younger Nick camp. And then Charlie is trying to get everybody under the camp to be working together. Okay? I don't know if, you know, when you hear the market talking and there's interest in somebody giving a message

The more you dismiss them the bigger that person's gonna get and that's what you've done number two You know when we when we were having Benjamin Netanyahu on the podcast I knew what was gonna happen. I knew what was gonna happen I'm not even gonna say what some of the stuff happened to us the last six weeks because I don't even want to advertise what Happened last six weeks. I don't want anybody to talk about What happened last six weeks is no one's business. We're going through it. Okay

so When we had BB, I would say death threats at an all-time high. No question when BB came up then They agree. All right, Ben wants to come on the podcast. Then when I said, you know, I want to have Nick on, I looked at the booking team. After Ben was confirmed, I said, if they cancel, it's because of me agreeing to have Nikon. Great.

We have Nikon. I show the clips. We have the conversations. Everything takes place. Fair interview. You sound like a racist here.

You sound like this here. Why are you dropping this word? So he's kind of like, you know, even Manning up two weeks later, Ben Shapiro cancels. Why? Why do you cancel? So what is the brand?

Why not have conversations? We're not a fire brand.

We're not.

Well, let's see maybe next year. No, I'm not interested. Don't big shot yourself. It's unattractive. And by the way, here's what's crazy. I've invited Tucker 50 times.

Never has he agreed to come on. And I flew to Maine. So it's not like I'm sitting here and, what's the word, trying to see that, you know, both of these camps have some similarities. Both of them. I think Ben is a very good communicator and debater.

Are you kidding me? When the time when that man put his hands on his shoulders?

The trans guy.

You don't think that's a little bit inappropriate? Ben has got some brass and he's had some of the best fiery moments ever.

Of course.

Ben when he was young, he was on Pierce Morgan. Pierce was about to be here. We're doing a show with him today. I don't know when we're doing it, but we're doing a show with him today And remember the first time when he was on there and I don't know if it was Years ago years ago constitution right when pierce went over there. So And tucker tucker's tucker carlson Tucker had his moment with john stewart many years ago when john stewart tried to make fun, not that one Rob, all the way at the top, all the way at the top. Yeah, yeah. Look at Ben. When he brought in the Constitution.

When he's Constitution, yeah. Ben has had some incredible moments, right? With what he's done, both of them. So to me, here's a very interesting thing that's going on. Nick Fuentes, FYI, whether you like him or not, he ain't going away. Nope.

Okay? or not he ain't going away. Nope. Okay he ain't going away and he's gonna have a voice. Here's the other part Ben Shapiro whether you like him or not he ain't going away. Whether you like Tucker or not he ain't going away. So now what? By the way Republicans you got destroyed last week. Yep. Ready? You got manhandled, not last week, this week.

A couple days ago.

Two days ago, three days ago. Destroyed last week, okay? Marjorie Taitel Green goes out there and she's talking about how she wants to run in 2028 on a firebrand and you know, Tom's talking about it could be a Ross Perot type of a moment. You know what all this leads to? Unless if you guys find a way to get it together, President Trump is not gonna go out there campaigning for everybody in 2028. If you can't go win your small little mayoral races and contests that you got on YouTube,

you're just waiting for President Trump to come in, retweet and endorse you every single time, and you can't come and take on the mantle and go fight? There is some stuff going on in the Republican Party. So what's the plan? Is it going to be Tucker's camp, Nick's camp, Candace's camp, Ben's camp, all these other camps that are all over the place, MTG's camp, Thomas Massey's camp, and yeah, some of these

overlap probably Thomas Massey and Candace and Tucker and some of those guys will probably MTG is probably going to be together, I think maybe an MTG is going to be a little bit of a challenging moment there. Ben's camp is going to be winning. Quite frankly, when it comes down to Ben, Ben was wrong with Trump in 2016.

Ben was wrong with DeSantis in 2020. I would sit down and talk, I'm like, what are you talking about DeSantis in 2024. So they've been, you know, it's not like they've been also right on a lot of these things. Guys, none of us have been. Everybody's walking around like, you know, uh, anyways, I just think, you know, right now, if you guys don't buckle down and get locked in, 2025 ain't gonna be a red wave. 2025 is gonna be a blue wave that comes through, because they're watching all these, let me tell you, Nick Fuentes is right.

Let me tell you, Ben Shapiro is right. Let me tell you, Tucker Carlson is right. Let me tell you. Oh, let me tell you, Democrats won. How did this happen? You did it.

So Mr. Ben Shapiro, respectfully. Mr. Tucker Carliro, respectfully. Mr. Tucker Carlson, respectfully. You know what would be a great panel on stage? Is Ben, Tucker, Megan, Nick, Candice. I think Megan can pull this off. I think Megan could pull this off to bring this together.

I think Megan's a boss. She's tough, She's strong and The reason why I think she's the one that could pull it off is because she was the face She was like she killed it on Fox Crushed and she's doing great with her podcast. So she has the mainstream and the podcast victory I think Megan could pull off something like this To bring everyone together because at this point of the game, you know, Ben's loyalty, Ben's, you know, of course

he's going to be loyal to Israel. It's what he is. He's very proud of his heritage. FYI, you ought to be proud of your heritage. I don't sit there, I'm like, well, he's, yeah, I, when I say daily Jewish wire or daily whatever I call the Israeli wire, I do think that's

his priority. I don't say that as in a- Like an insult. No, I say, listen, I'm a Syrian Armenian, okay? I'm a Syrian and Armenian. I'm a proud Assyrian.

I'm a proud Armenian. But you know, born in Iran, made in America, without America, I don't have the life that I have today. Are you kidding me? But I understand some of the affinity. I understand if Nick goes after, you know, Tucker's dad, you know, Tucker's going to

invite him to say, hey man, listen, this is one thing I don't like when you go after my dad. His dad's his hero. I understand Tucker, but I also understand Nick, who's on the outside, is like, you guys not going to give me attention? I want to effing come after you guys like a freaking gangstrand.

I want to pull up a Tupac, hit him up. I want to destroy all of you guys. That's Nick.

Nick is Tupac.

So what do you want to do?

What do you want to do?

You want to do East Coast, West Coast type of situation? Is that what you want? Really? Is that what you want? Because I think right now what Ben talked about is he's spending millions of dollars a year on security. Why? Who's creating it? Who's causing it? This isn't healthy.

I don't, I don't, you know, this isn't healthy. So for me, I love the debate. Keep the debate. I love all of that stuff.

But uh... I love all of that stuff. But. Did you see what Megan said about this?

No, what did she say?

She addressed this. She actually had Matt Walsh on her podcast. They spoke for a full on hour.

And what was the consensus?

What did they say? So it was very interesting, because she says, I'm friends with Ben Shapiro. I'm friends with Tucker Carlson. She's the right person. And then she's speaking with Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire. It was very interesting, his perspective. You know what he said?

Yeah.

About ban Israel, whatever. He goes, yeah, I don't care. I care about America. That's my opinion. That's been my position for 10 years. He goes, I don't care.

So then for me. But Megan is, I think, someone that can pull this off because Megan has Tucker's respect. That's why. Because Tucker respects the fact that Megan made it on cable, TV, and made it at podcasting and she's a formidable face. She was a moderator.

Trump, hey, you've said a lot of different things about women. No, only Rosie O'Donnell. That's not true. That's not true. So, yeah, I don't know. I just think, you know, if you go like this and the infighting continues, congratulations,

you handed them 2026. And if it continues and you think, oh, you know, a person, you know how mentally, emotionally tough and a gangster you have to be to come back and win 22 2024 election There's only one guy that could have pulled that off and it's the guy that won and he's the president today You think that guarantees 2028? No. Hell no No

so Welcome. Yep. And by the way to Ben Shapiro's camp that this is probably going to be sent to 8,000 people voted, 68% said he's the one that doesn't want to sit down with Tucker And our audience is fairly fair Is what they are, so there you go, I don't know, maybe

Fairly fair

No, no, I think they're pretty fair, but and Pat, great, great points And you just, like, it just hit me that what you're talking about about this, the Mamdani effect and all that stuff, Republicans are all over the freaking map and there's like the way that you just said it, if they don't come to in any situation, this there, the midterms are not blue. It's going to go to freaking Democrats.

And then how fast is 2028 going to come? And Gavin Newsom just sitting at the top waiting for this shit Well, I like the white is waiting Gavin Newsom doing it intentionally I'm not saying that you scare me, but you just made me go Oh my god They're all fighting because who who are all those people gonna tell you to vote for let's say the presidency comes up One's gonna tell you to go this way, somebody's gonna tell you to go this way, the one guy that's pro-Israel, they're gonna say

go this way, it's gonna be so splintered, and sitting and waiting in the wings, is Gavin Newsom going hey, I love, this is, they're all Hitler, they're all Nazis,

open the border, come on guys, let's go back.

I agree with the point movement, I mean never mind Republican Party, conservatism in America and the conservative movement does need unity. A week and a half ago before the election, who did we see doing photo ops together? AOC, Bernie and Chuck, right? Walking down the street, wasn't there three of them walking down the street in Chuck's shirt sleeves? People with people, you know, like this?

Why, do you think Chuck agrees with Bernie?

No!

They're immortal enemies. Chuck undermined Bernie so much in 16 and 20. Absolutely did. And so do you think AOC and Chuck are friends? No! There's been people saying that she's going to primary him and she's going after the next level seed if she doesn't run. And didn't you say that AOC and Bernie are perfectly aligned? No, she's too much of a lightning rod on the outside. He's actually stayed where he is. But why are they all walking together, talking nice together? Because they know what unity was needed and

their enemy was the loss they took last November. And so the conservatives need unity. We don't need MTG running for president over here like Ross Perot. We don't need this divisiveness that's here. I agree with that point, that we need unity and someone needs to do it. And you know, Pat talking about that maybe Megan could step it up. I think there's other people that could do it too, but we got to get people together

on the core things.

Yeah, we're outsiders. Let me tell you what I've learned. people together on the core things. Yeah, we're outsiders, Tom. Make the core things the core things. Let me tell you what I've learned. Let me tell you what I've learned at this point. We're outsiders, and I love it. You have no idea how much I love it.

That none of them are like, who are these guys? The same way Ben feels about us is the same way Tucker feels about us. But the difference is, by the way, both of them have had me on, I've had Ben on the show 11 years ago, never had Tucker on. But both sides are like, who are these guys? And I love it. I'm comfortable doing this role. We're not trying to sit here and, you know, when I was coming up in insurance, it's the same exact story every single time.

Who the F is this Middle Eastern guy with no college degree coming up taking market share away from us. Who are you? Every year we go to the insurance conference, it was like this. Who are you? Oh my God, you know, get out of here, get out of here. And then all of a sudden, boom, oh shoot. Now we actually love the industry and we actually respect you guys.

We respect the hell out of you guys that you guys built a business. We admire what you've done. We admire a lot of these guys, what they've done over the years, but we have our own set of opinions. And we're fair, we're respectful, but at the same time, to me, it's very simple. If I don't have a relationship with them ever for the rest of my life, I'm okay as long as America is winning. If that's the role we're going to play, we're going do this. Nope. We've had plenty of great experiences and we have very good relationship with a lot of people

I also understand the fact that For some people they're more uncomfortable. Why one minute they're here one minute. They're there They'll call this person up, but they'll call that person. I don't have net. No, but they'll have Nick Fuentes. Yeah, we will talk to everybody Period and I know you're not gonna like. And I'm okay with it. I made a video the other day with the idea that I'm talking about. I think they need to do XYZ with, you know, I think Israel has a bad brand right now because of how horrible of a job they're doing marketing as the only child. And I said, trust me, no one's going to like my idea on both sides.

And guess who hated the idea? Both sides hated the idea, right? And guess what I like that that both of you don't like the idea We will gladly play in this role of just going up here gladly and continue to do our part But God willing Megyn Kelly is gonna make that phone call on hosting event and have everybody there I think she can play the role of a glue and There's a handful of other guys that would nominate that can pull that off

But I think she I think she's the head that can pull that off, but I think she's the head that can pull that off. I really think she's the head that can pull that off and get everybody in the room. And by the way, bring Steven Crowder. He's coming back, and I like the new Crowder. Bring him back. He's back to realizing who he is and what he was doing. Let's not forget at one point Crowder was the guy, and a lot of people remember when he was the guy and he went through a bad season But I'm kind of glad that he's got his mojo back and he's playing ball. He's a very very formidable voice

He's a beast. Yeah, I would include him in that as well for sure. And but anyways, he's criticized all those guys, too By the way, listen, just think about us as a consultant. That's who we are. We're just a consultant is what we do. You can go to betdavid.com literally to learn more about what we do for clients from 60-plus countries, 10,000 businesses, a business nobody knows that we have except for the people that we do engagements for and strategy sessions for. Let's move on to the next story.

Next story I want to go to is Jeffrey Epstein. Pretty rough day when this guy, what's his name, Andrew? Is that the one that we're talking about? Jeffrey Epstein, oh no, this is a different story. Jeffrey Epstein, folks, watch this here. Kind of weird, Vinny, I'm gonna come to you with this one.

Yes, sir. Claimed Maureen Comey, the daughter of 8647 James Comey, okay, who thought it was just nice seashells. Didn't know what it means.

Nothing.

Director of FBI, you know, he didn't know what 8647 meant. It's just nice seashells on the beach, right? Jeffrey Epstein claimed Maureen Comey would let him free if he implicated Trump, ex-cellmate, said.

What? Huh. Now, ex-cellmate, said.

What?

Huh.

Now, let me read this to you. What is this guy talking about? Jeffrey Epstein claimed New York federal prosecutors told him he could walk free if he agreed to implicate Trump, according to his ex-cellmate, after his arrest on child sex trafficking July of 19, Epstein was transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan where he shared a cell with a ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglino who was awaiting trial before being convicted on quadruple murder

charge. Tartaglione, 57 now claims Epstein, who died a month after being arrested, told the prosecutors that offered to cut a deal if he'd snitch on President Trump, who was then in his first term. Prosecutors told Epstein that if he had said President Trump was involved with Epstein's crimes, he would walk free in a petition to be pardoned. Tartaglione claims in a pardon application filed in July and obtained by the Post, Epstein told me that Maureen Comey said that he didn't

have to prove anything as long as President Trump's people could not disapprove it. According to Maureen Comey, the FBI were her people, not his, meaning the President's. The papers don't specify what crimes Trump would be implicated in. At the time of his death, Epstein was charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy, but was also suspected in a laundry list of other crimes. Vinny, thoughts?

Think, think of, okay, could we, could we just give a shout out to this family? Maureen Comey, her father, James Comey, and I have to write this down, but she was, remember, she was just fired recently, Tom, right? For the Southern District of New York, since 2015. Guess which cases she profiled cases? Epstein, she was behind that. She was behind Galee Maxwell.

And also she just the Diddy case. She's all yeah. And I get it. That's where that's her district. That's where she's in. But like, I hope you guys understand what we're talking about here.

Epstein was going to get a deal. I know this is according to Nicholas. He was going to walk free. Think up, guys, really think about that. Tom, they were going to let him go if he just implicated Trump because this is how deep

and how far from 2000.

But this is how prosecutions work during, you know, to be fair, this is not unique. Do you not think if there's something up with LeBron in the gambling, if, do you not think that they would say to LeBron, LeBron says, if you just let us know who your teammates in Miami, because one of your teammates in Miami, we got a book on him. We're done. And so if you want to just tell us what happened, you know, then you'll have immunity. Chris Bosh, if you want to tell us what happened, you'll have immunity. They're talking, the only reason I'm mentioning those names is not because they've been implicated,

but because this is the way the federal government works when they're cultivating and they're trying to figure out their cases. Is they ask one to tell on the other and in exchange for saving the government time and being honest about that, by the way, if you snitch and you do things and you get a deal from the government that turned out to be false, there's this little clause where they can pull the deal if you basically are found to have been so full of crap and tried to redirect the government or trick them and things like that, they'll come back and pull the deal right back off the table.

So this is the way it works.

Of course, yeah, for sure. This is the way it works. But Tom, look at the hate and the disdain for Trump from back to 2016. Absolutely.

Point made. Absolutely correct.

Yeah, yeah.

That Tommy that you're gonna let him...

And it's his freaking daughter. That's what I'm saying. And the guy that was behind the whole Russia collusion thing, that was behind the Hillary Benghazi and all that stuff, and all the files and all that stuff. When you talk about deep state, Tommy, that's the Comey, it's the Brennan, it's the Don Bolton. These are the guys, they're starting to get exposed but what drives me crazy is they were willing because I believe it Tom, I totally believe it.

Yeah the guy's a convicted murderer but what does he have to, in that situation it's like he's finished for the rest of his life. They're willing to let go the most prolific sex trafficking pedophile just to go after Trump. And by the way you you know she said we um all he had to do was accuse Trump and if Trump's team couldn't disprove it he'd be pardoned okay Epstein and you know what is the F that's the F. You gotta give us

enough evidence that we get something that goes like her. If not yeah and Epstein refused think about this Tommy Epstein refused and told her flat-out Trump had nothing to do with the crimes okay I don't care what anybody else is talking about. Not the answer they want. That's it. And going back to her father, Tom, notice this, right? He's under indictment for lying to Congress, all right?

He was reportedly tipped off. He was reportedly, allegedly tipped off that that massive stash of hidden documents was gonna come out.

Yeah, there's a lot of allegations and with some specifics in him about Comey that he... Tom, let him finish.

No, no, he's right. I love it. Thank you, Betsy. He goes, and once he found that out, not long after that, he stumbles on a formation of rocks that said 86-47, which I don't care how gullible or how much you try to play both sides, that is a freaking dog whistle. 86-47 means take out the president of the United States and he played that stupid game

okay like I didn't know and the left freaking believes it okay this is what's happening Tom and Pat I think it's disgusting if it is true I know it's all allegedly but that they were willing to let Epstein Adam Epstein walk walk if he just say Trump was there and we're

good to go and you get to walk. That's how they get the mob, right? That's exactly how they got the mob. You go the little guy to get the big guy. So who's bigger, Trump or Epstein?

Trump is, for them it's Trump.

Okay, well then that makes Epstein the smaller criminal and you're willing to let the small guy go to get this. If New Yorkers knew in terms of the mob the people that were let go So they could get John Gotti. Oh my god murderous Tom! Right, so if the headline was this these gentlemen and their crimes got Immunity because we actually were able to convict someone. Everybody goes wait what?

Yeah, flip out. Yeah, so we could come and instead of someone, the headline says Gotti. And then they say, well, they had to get Gotti, and I guess they had to get snitches to go after him because otherwise Gotti's still out there. It's the bigger, they put the little guys to get the big guys, and in that context,

regardless of all the heinous, terrible things been so passionate about, correctly so, absolutely appropriately so, they were willing to give up that guy to get the big guy.

Wow.

A big guy that didn't do anything, Tommy. To them, Trump was the big prize.

Yeah, he didn't do anything.

I'm following this. I just have a couple of questions. So obviously we understand Comey. What's your opinion or supposition on Maureen Comey specifically? You think she's compromised?

I want, Adam, my belief, Vincent LaChanze's belief, you think that Apple falls that far from the tree when your father was the director of the FBI? And of course, Adam, do you even know who her husband is? These people all hate Trump and they were willing to do anything.

Adam, it's still happening to this day and we fail to, yes, Adam, I believe.

Who's her husband? I forgot his name, but you can look it up, Rob. Who's her father? Lucas Zakharov. He's, you think this guy likes Trump? This guy is a Trump hater to the,

think about it, you think her husband. I just see his name, Lucas, I don't know why. Why Jesus they all their mission and this will bother me Adam. I think she's compromised. You know why on top of what happened with the with the Diddy thing the goal since 2016 was get rid of this guy and the fact that they were willing allegedly willing to let go of Epstein just to get Trump and Adam get him for what lie lie and say that he was implicated with touching underage girls or doing whatever underage girls

because that was the goal, Adam. That's what Russia collusion was. That was the two fake impeachment was. That's all that nonsense adds up to this so it's not a surprise to me. It really isn't. And then one more. We obviously know James Comey.

We're starting to learn about Marine Comey. I've never heard of this guy. Uh, what is his name? Nicholas... Yeah, that guy that he was in the jail Targlione? You trust him? Here's my question to you.

You're not going to get out of jail free. You're not losing any time. He's just saying that this is what they offered him. When he was in prison with them, this is what he found out. And by the way, there was a document that I saw. A government document, Adam. Where they're taking all these notes. Yeah, I believe... Adam, just because...

You trust a prisoner? Adam, hold on, ready for this? If I killed somebody and I had to kill somebody or I murdered somebody, what, you're just not supposed to believe me anymore? Because I made one crime, so that means I'm lying about stuff.

No, he admitted that he's a murderer.

Yeah, he murdered four people. He's in jail for life. So he can never tell the truth. He can't tell the truth about something he saw in his jail cell and a conversation he had with a pedophile. It's notoriously known, they call it a jailhouse informant, that this is some of the least reliable evidence in court. The least. Why?

You might be saying, well why? He's in jail for life. willing to say anything and do anything to get the hell out. Would you not? You can never get out. He that there's, there's, hold on. Ready for the zero.

Hear me out.

Go ahead.

I mean, Rob, I'm sure you could chat to you, but I'm just going to go reduce sentences, money, uh, maybe drop charges, lessening charges, a million different reasons that a jail's house informant is cellmate would be like, here's my moment. In fact, and you can fact check this. I'm assuming that a jailhouse informant, a cellmate is some of the least. Credible evidence in a court of law. I'd love you to fact check that. So to me, once I hear cellmate, I'm like, I don't believe this guy,

the dude who murdered four people, all of a sudden he's your star witness. Do you know how many cases, because I watched the first 48 and all these murder mysteries, do you know how many times the person opened their mouth to their cellmate and they're the ones that ratted them out and they confessed to them? Or the phone calls that they make in the jail. Adam, the situation is Epstein's cellmate said that New York prosecutors, Maureen Comey,

offered him a deal. He's sharing a jail cell with the pedophile, he knows what conversations are happening. Adam, you're in there with the guy 24-7. He's not making stuff up. It's not like Epstein needs to tell this guy anything. I mean look, what do you mean Epstein? Adam, you ever shell a jail cell? You know how they say trust but verify? Bro, I don't trust this guy at all and I'd verify everything he's doing. Look, Rob, what does it say? I can't see this thing.

Jailhouse informant testimony can be used in court but it is widely

considered one of the least reliable forms of evidence. Bingo, bro. Okay. You can't

trust this. Quadruple murder, you're like, I believe that guy. He has my vote. Let me ask you a question though. You're sharing a jail cell, you Adam, and you're a murderer with Jeffrey Epstein. No, no, no. You're with Jeffrey Epstein. You're not hearing what you, hold on, meaning Jeffrey Epstein goes and talks to his lawyers and the federal prosecutors and then comes in his jail cell, Adam, and is doing this. No, you talk to your, that's your new best friend, Adam.

Okay, sure. Jeffrey Epstein kept in contact with the outside world you think it was this one guy there in jail How low you're my how long you know Adam? How long you think they're in jail together in the cell sharing the cell all day?

So my question is guy murdered four people were like why our witness?

Think we're missing a couple of points here. I mean first of all Let's not debate. You know the jailhouse snitch We can read about that all the time. The story is coming out that, and there's a lot of people that alleged that Comey was more than a little nepotistic

getting his daughter into the family business, which was federal prosecuting. Okay, and Comey was also right there with a lot of people that were trying to take down Trump. Forever. So the notion, Adam, that they're looking for any and everything that can help them

take down Trump is not a stretch.

That's right.

It's not an assumption. It's out there. Was this particular guy in jail going to be the most credible way to do it? No, to your point, because, oh, hey, it says right here, they have to tell the jury he may get leniency. He may get a better. So he may get four guys on a, on a dirty cop drug deal that went bad over $250,000 and killed the four people buried them.

Adam, step back. I believe that guy, Adam, what is it? The story is it's pretty, you know, there's a lot of allegations here. I want to sell you this beautiful piece of property in the Everglades right here. Trust me, bro. You know, you know what point he's making? You want to go bro? You want to end up in a quadruple Adam? You change the end point. How much, how, how wow that's what I'm kidding. Do you I'm just trying to take it back to the story Is it conceivable that I'm company we're trying to use any and everything to go after Trump. Yes I believe that

I'm saying I don't believe the have a lot of murder people said that he I'm gonna go out I know we want to move on to another story if you think it's not conceivable We only been 45 minutes on this one. Let's use the whole podcast Oh that's a guy the guy Russia collusion everything you need a star but call me FBI Oh that guy trying to take down Trump that guy his daughter Wouldn't go to a pedophile and say hey listen Just say this and we want to get Trump and you will help I believe you

I just don't believe the quadruple murderer guy. Okay. Well, that's you I want to wait on this

Yeah, let's let's look here's where I'm at When something happens I get Intel from everybody if an issue happens at the company that we got addressed like let you say crisis takes place Some people have higher credibility scores than other like I literally put everybody's position and next to this guy's got a two score four score eight score nine score ten Seven six eight nine and we learned everybody's motives and then we make a decision for ourselves Does this guy have a high credibility score of what he's saying? Probably not but is it somebody that you want to use the content and see what's gonna be said? Yes. Do I believe Maureen Comey's capable

of trying to find everything to destroy Trump on the 2024 election when that's the guy that they didn't want to go in there because they knew exactly what he was gonna do that he's doing today? Yes. Do you think Obama wanted Trump to win in 2024? No. Do you think Comey wanted Trump to win 2024? No, do you know do you think Comey knew that if Trump would win that they're gonna go after him to Reveal the fact that all the shit he lied about. Yes. Yeah. No, this is Both of you could be right and it's just like let's see what happens

Let's see where they're gonna go from here with these types of stories this this Epstein thing You know more and more stuff that's being dropped verify investigate See if there's anybody else that would sit there and match it and say there's some truth behind it and then we move on That's where we are with this story here. We can move on to the next story next one I want to get to is the following Folks if you're traveling

FAA is slashing 10% of US flights in 40 major cities as historic government shutdown drags on Rob if you have the clip on this one here, if you want to play it. Yeah, right there. This is what's going on. And by the way, can you actually see in the comment section, is anybody traveling? Did anybody actually ask a question?

Has anyone's flight plans being cancelled or affected today if you say I'm curious even if it's less than 1% if it's 82 people I want to know if there's you know just say no It's not being cancelled and say yes if it has been Tom your thoughts on the story with what's going on How big of a deal is this this is a very big deal?

apparently on October 28th ATC employees air traffic, received their last paycheck and now they're in a non-pay position with the shutdown. So apparently some of them are not going to be coming to work and they have to maintain the safety for Americans. You don't want an overworked ATC person working a 12-hour shift, especially if you have thunderstorms

in Chicago or in Dallas, and they're trying to direct the safety of all those flights going to land. So now they're like, and I'm pretty sure, I'm 99% certain that what I read in my research this morning was that October 28th is when the first paycheck that they won't get, not their last paycheck, that's gonna be the one they don't get.

So they're not asking them, Pat, to work for free. And they're saying, those of you that are gonna work, great, but some of you aren't gonna be here because you're not working for free. That means, guess what? We gotta have fewer flights.

Airlines, how you do it is up to you with how many tickets have been bought and you're sure if they're flying a flight from Dallas to Fort Lauderdale and it's always full three times a day that one's still there but the flights that were at 20% full 10% full those are the ones that the airlines are gonna say okay I got to take so many flights out of Dallas where are my lightest loads or lightest flights and so they're they're gonna do. And it's kind of a warning to America that says, hey, not a warning to America,

a warning to all of us and our Congress, hey, this is about to get real. Because the FAA also said, Pat, you ready for this? You know what the next percentage they mentioned? 50% that seven days later after this first 10%, they could be talking about 50%

because of the air traffic control people that are not going to be working for free without a check. And so now then, who controls this?

The Democrats.

Chuck Schumer and the Democrats.

Okay, not the shutdown. ATC, my understanding, falls under the purview that rolls up to the president through one of the cabinets. And so the president could allow the pinch to happen to get the Dems to negotiate with him or could just step back and let the pain there. But I think Trump's going to use this to negotiate.

That's what I think. Because 50 percent come in. I think that's the number they want everybody to hear. Ten percent of the flights this week because some of these guys got their last check.

Can you play this clip?

Watch this clip here. Go for it.

There is going to be a 10% reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations. The administrator is going to tell you that this is database. This is not based on what airline travels, has more flights out of what location. This is about where is the pressure and how do we alleviate the pressure. And so I want to thank him for again him. In regard to air traffic control, we've had a conversation over the course of the last

month about some of the challenges that we're having in the airspace. Many of you know that we are 2,000 controllers short, air traffic controllers short, and we have surged our academy to bring more controllers into our system. We are 20% up in controllers through the academy thus far this year. I've also offered air traffic controllers who are of the age of retirement, a 20% upfront cash bonus to actually stay on. Some of the best controllers we have don't retire, keep working for us.

All of that has been reducing the pressure on the staffing side of air traffic control. It's working, but it takes years to bring more well-trained, certified controllers into the airspace. The shutdown is having an impact on our ability to maintain those numbers and dent that 2,000

shortage that we have.

That doesn't make me want to fly. Make me feel safe for flying at all right now.

Like Boeing flights are falling out of the sky.

No, but I'm not like, why would you want to fly right now with dumb and dumber with people that are imagine that, like yeah,

no, I'm going to put in an extra couple hours and I'm not going to get paid.

And what he didn't talk about is October 28th, a bunch of them aren't going to get a paycheck. So he's saying, remember all summer long, you've been hearing about Newark. People say don't fly into Newark. If there's any, if there's a mere cloud in the sky that looks like a thunderstorm in New York, Newark gets a problem. Remember we saw these talking about Newark?

That's because of what he's talking about. But the punchline is, hey look, we got people retiring, we're trying to get people trained, there's been stress in the system, and now some of them are going to stay home because they can't get paid? We need a 10% reduction.

Let me ask you, I mean it's already hanging by a thread. Tom let me ask you, you're the expert on this one, has the government shutdown affected your life even one iota? My sister's not working. Oh sorry. You? No I've heard about things like this. Me personally no, but me personally yes. I'm saying you personally. No my person my family know but I know of people like Vinny's sister who worked for

the government and are now in a waiting game on their paycheck.

So it's affected you how? It's affected me with my sister who's literally she can't go anywhere she can't leave because they could. Because she does what?

She's Space Force?

She works at Space Force.

Space Force ladies and gentlemen it's a real thing. And then Adam, I mean, this is affecting flights and if I do stand up and I can't leave.

Has the government shutdown affected your life at all?

But I'm not everybody.

I'm not everybody.

No, no, I'm just saying for you.

It may if people that need to travel can't travel. Like this weekend, PHP event, I got stuff that I'm doing, they're traveling in here today. They should be able to travel. So it's not gonna affect us, 10% won't. If they go to 100%, 50%, 60%, I mean, you're gonna feel it.

So a lot of times, certain things happen and you may just sit there and say, it's not doing anything for me, so who gives a shit? But that's not how life works. You don't have kids. So imagine if all kids are shut down in America.

How are you impacted by that? You're not. So you have to be paying attention to how it's.

That's ultimately my point. Is that up until now, the government shutdown hasn't effected average people, normal people, what have you. But when you start to say, whoa, what's going on? Now it's starting to hit. 10% of flights, all of a sudden 50% of flights. Tom said seven days. All of a sudden, when average people start waking up,

they have zero care in the world for the government shutdown.

We got like almost 3,000 votes in our poll now.

How's your flight been?

Oh, wow.

25%? No, no, not 20%. That's 500 people. Yep. shutdown. There you go, it started. This is the pinch. This is where you're gonna start to get the pressure to like, you're affecting average people. Pat, what do you think, Tom, honestly, all three of you, what is gonna be the moment, because they're not, it doesn't seem like they're budging anytime soon. Trump is not gonna give in ever, he's not gonna give an inch, especially when all this billions and billions is gonna go to illegals and all this program How long is this thing going to go because I don't see any any like daylight go back and look at the history of shutdowns

These are the pinch points that you need to get get our are our elected imbeciles I mean officials, huh to to Congress to cut a deal together

So all the airlines Boeing all these places are these like normally the CEOs, are they woke type people? Because they're going to be making phone calls to their donors, right? They're freaking lobbyists.

Like, yo, dude. Let me tell you, the president of every airline is a capitalist who looks at the stock ticker

every morning. No, no, no. They're capitalists. They want to make money. Exactly. You can be in favor of your stock and your job and still be a liberal. But what I'm saying is, are they making phone calls to their representative like, yo, listen,

you guys are starting to affect our wallets.

I would say airlines now are like, hey man, this is about to affect us. You're not going to like this.

How much? Right now it's just who can tolerate most pain. That's it. It's already the longest record breaking shutdown we've had. Who can tolerate most pain?

Did it break the record?

Yeah, of course.

It broke the record two days ago.

Say what you want, congratulations guys.

It broke the record two days ago. Alright, let's go to the next story. Eat your prayer best. Stephen Colbert insists he's more conservative than people might think and not a lefty figure we have to believe him, right? You know, this guy doesn't have four four murder We have to believe him because according to Adams theory he ain't lying But he's wearing the glasses percent tell the truth. Here's Stephen Colbert. Go ahead folks

You know the demographics of these shows are interesting too. Huh? It's about a third third third It's about a third, third, third. It's about a third Republican, third Democrat,

third independent. So you think, you know, old, you know, people perceive me as this sort of lefty figure. I think I'm more conservative than people think. I just happen to be talking about a government in extremes. And so what I'm giving you is my reaction video to the day.

Adam, do you believe him? Well, you have to believe him. This guy's not a murderer.

He said it, but he hates Trump. Well, of course, he's just an average moderate guy who only has 99% of his guests being on the left that only dismantles Trump left and right. That does. Vaccines, of course, he's a conservative guy. Listen, Stephen Colbert, you can say what you want.

I actually think Stephen Colbert is immensely talented, but he has been completely absorbed by the left. And he's a perception is reality. I think when he did the Colbert report and he portrayed this conservative guy. He was so good.

Folks, forgive Adam's naivete and support for Mr. Colbert because Tom is about to give you a very different theory. To be honest with you, I thought it was Rachel Maddow that I was looking at. By the way, he did say something. Here's what he did say. He says, I don't generally say or do things that I don't mean on the shows unless I'm in character like a sketch

Tom do you believe him?

No, I believe that what's going on right now and also in a related story CNN anchor has been pushing back on liberal critics. My job is not to take down Trump says Caitlin Collins. She was on a Podcast on Wednesday or speaking to somebody on Wednesday. Osama Najj. Yeah, exactly. Nicki Minaj. What the moment showed was there was a lot of support for Trump and I think it was jarring for some people to remember that maybe to

see that reality of our job is not to sanitize things when I say, well this is what you want the narrative to be? No, this is what you want to happen? No. Oh my gosh, give me a break. Is this the Barry Weiss effect? No, she is, Caitlin Collins, yes. It's the Barry Weiss effect and it's also, you're not effing profitable effect and it's also you're not getting a lot of audience effect and it's a lot of, you know, there may be liberals in the CEO chairs but they also have to look at profitability and look and running a profitable network and

ESPN has been cutting higher price sports anchors for two and a half years saying that they have to get to a more economic outcome because they have to pay billions for get access to sports so they can't afford to have all these anchors with this. This has been going on I think everybody is running for cover trying to appear a little bit more neutral, a little bit more objective, a little bit more to the center. They're all trying to do it. Remember Colbert, everybody's been been threatening about

his show being canceled. Do you think it's gonna get canceled? And then they're trying to spin it. Never mind, it's been losing money, and we've seen all the stats on that.

It was canceled.

Colbert was canceled. Right. But in saying, never mind all that, never mind all that. Oh, I'm not such a bad guy. You know, I want to be back on. I want to be over here. That's what's going on. They're all sanitizing history and putting a spin on history because

they see what's coming. And by the way, the funny thing about Kaitlyn Collins, she's kind of on a rookie contract. She's not on an Anderson Cooper contract. So, and basically when they offered it for sale, there were leaks and supposedly's that Zazz was at the Allen conference in Idaho telling people, and by the way, we'll take care of some of the expensive contracts, but remember, Kaitlin's on a more economic contract. So he was actually telling people, hey, if you like her, she's young, she's in the demographic and she's on a better deal.

You don't think they were saying that? You don't think that they all know deal. You don't think they were saying that? You know who Caitlyn Collins should call by the way. You don't think that they all know this? You don't think they're all sitting

back saying... What's this drop? Is this the one that she says my job isn't to... Go ahead, go ahead and play this.

What that moment showed was there was still a lot of support for Donald Trump and I think it was reality and like our job is not to sanitize things and say well this is what you want the narrative to be or this is what you want to happen. Our job is just to cover it as it happens and to show you what that was and I think that town hall showed people that. Like my job is like not to take down Trump.

I'm a reporter and an anchor. Yeah yeah with an earpiece and a producer. She's lying sitting there next to another liar, Hasan Minhaj. You remember the anthrax story that he said that he claimed white powder was sent to his house and he opened it and it spilled on his daughter and then went to the ER? Turns out he was full of poo poo. Like I don't believe, like it's just nonsense. Watch your mouth Vinny. Yeah like Stephen Colbert saying that he's conservative is like Mike Tyson going yeah I'm a pacifist. No you're not a pacifist. You're a fighter, bro. Like, stop lying. And you nailed it.

What? Tom's laughing.

They're all trying to stand.

You nailed it, Tom, because they're trying to come back, because they know you're going broke. Did he really fabricate the anthrax? Anthrax story. Hassan Majd. That's the, yeah, involving the jungle. Yeah! didn't get assaulted by four Trump guys in Chicago. Was it a skit like a joke that he made up?

No, no.

If it's a joke, I mean I get it.

No, absolutely not a joke.

The core incident was a storage envelope with powder at his apartment and this stand-up Minaj claimed the powder was accidentally spilled onto his daughter leading to a frantic ritual in New York. However, in September, Tony McPherson, Minaj confessed that his daughter was never exposed to the powder and was not hospitalized He had received an envelope with the white powder But the dramatic details about his daughter and the hospital visit were invented for dramatic of it I highlight the emotional truth of the fear he understood. Okay, like he's trying to be like, you know, it's a story

he's a pusher of Trump and and and and the worst. Wasn't he the comedian that you do the dinner or something? You know, what did the White House correspond to eight years ago or six years ago? He's been in and when he goes, yeah, I do not see Steve Bannon.

Yeah. Nazi. Yeah. Steve Bannon. And in fact, he had a prom story. So in homecoming King, he said a white classmate rejected him at prom because of his race showing up with a white boy instead but the woman involved later disputed saying she turned him down well before the night of the dance. So it's like, I don't believe any of these people and for Stephen Colbert, give me a freaking break.

I'll respect you more if you just stick to your guns and say we hate Trump, we get paid to hate Trump, even if we're losing money, it's Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.

That's it. Yeah, all I got to say is three things. Trump got paid settlements, number one. Number two, these networks are in media is unprofitable. Number three, there have been people losing their contracts and getting, Jim Acosta, and people getting sent out to the backyard for going on two and a half years now, especially DSPN. Point three, Barry Weiss and the Ellisons, you know, in Skydance. Point four, now they're seen saying, well my job is not to take down Trump is to do this

Well, I'm more more in the center. There's one third one third return is my audience. You're so full of crap

There's no chance of a third. Yeah, let me go to the audiences

Let me go to this next story while I'm going to this next story, you know some news Rob gargou you just passed a thousand minx, right?

Now, with that, the perfect transition for the next story is transgender person who used women's locker room at Gold's gym, stole ex-wife's name. Rob, can you first start off with the lady who is in the gym, screaming and hollering? I want you to start off with that because yeah, at first you're like, what is she doing? Yeah, why should I watch this one? Go ahead, Rob.

She is!

Can you show her reaction afterwards? Who's this guy? No, no, Rob, show her interview, the African American lady. If you don't have it, she's talking about what happened and why she got kicked out. And she's like, listen, this doesn't make any sense, like what the hell is going on,

okay?

She's given her argument of what happened afterwards. There's a video of her explaining it. I don't know if you can find a clip or not. I'll try to find it Rob if you want to go to the next clip whichever one you got do you actually

He needs to have his gym membership revoked for that shit. And the one I told you.

That's the transgender woman?

That guy?

We already filed reports.

No, no.

You can't give it to me for this.

I'm a woman and I have every right rid of her. They're kicking her out.

And look, he's going back in the woman's bathroom.

Wow.

I learned that when I was young.

Okay, go above it, go above it, right there. The one above it, right there, that's the transgender. Look, go zoom out.

That looks like me in a crop top.

That's supposed to be a woman, the one on the right.

The guy, that dude, that dude, that dude, that dude. Shows up on the sauce cap.

Apparently he has fully functioning junk according to her.

I just got a message. I just got a message.

He did an interview?

Yeah, he was on TMZ. He, him, did the interview?

I just got a message. Did you find his interview on her?

TMZ. I just got a message right now from somebody that works here. I don't want to give his name. They are notorious for letting guys use the women's bathroom. There was a guy I witnessed use the women's bathroom simply by wearing a crop top bra. And let me pass, so this guy, this guy, his real name is Grant Freeman, F-R-E-E-M-A-N. He's now going by Alexis Black. He did all this, right?

He has quite a record, Rob, you want to look it up. He was charged with multiple drug offenses, including trafficking, possession, failure to comply. He was charged with third-degree felony domestic violence and convicted in Ohio in November 2022 for, guess what, brutally beating his ex-wife, breaking her jaw so badly she needed surgery.

Stop it. Now, yes, Rob, look up Grant Freeman.

And by the way, he beat her up.

Now let's be sure that we're connected here. So this in Ohio, we have allegedly found a connection here and multiple sources are seeing the point these. So we're reacting to these sources that this is the same guy's background.

Exactly, so allegedly this is, he has the record, Rob, if you go on X and look it up his name lives of tick-tock They don't get the guy in the picture the guy so the guy's name right now His female name is Alexis black, but his old name was Grant Freeman all F R E E M A N And the sources we've seen is this is the source of Ohio coming out of Ohio that they're saying Rob that this guy Grant Freeman was charged with

break beating his wife and and giving him a record did I send you the link of on I Think I slacked it to you Wow Yeah, so beating his wife

This is a guy and now he's miss black and he was mr. Freeman. Hold on. Well, if this is that guy that's it. That's

Yeah, that's a bless. You sir. Do you have the TMZ interview if you don't I can't it. Oh, yeah Could you send that to me? Yeah, it's on Yeah, I have it Alexis black Right that just send it to Rob if you want to go and I slack you to Rob So you should see he put makeup on and on to be ready for TMZ here's Alexis Black folks or what's his real name you said Tyrone what was his

real name? Tyrone. T-Rone. The real name allegedly is Grant Freeman who now goes

by the name Alexis Black is his trans name and that's his ex-girlfriend. Let's go

here's a the company where they were celebrating Charlie Kirk's inner back that they didn't want to reveal the videos and they never apologized for it. Go ahead Rob.

Now is one of the people that that Tish says she confronted in the locker room. Her name is Alexis Black and she's joining us now. Alexis, welcome to Team VLive.

Hi Alexis. So we spoke with Tish Her name is Alexis Black, and she's joining us now. Alexis, welcome to TV Live. Hi.

Hey, Alexis. So we spoke with Tish, and she said when she came face to face with you, it was obvious to her you were a man. So I don't want to get terribly graphic here, but can you kind of explain how you appeared? Do you believe that she was reading something in

that you didn't appear to be male?

She perceived you to be such.

Well, first, I told the people that raised me that this is the way that I was when I was eight years old, and really I stuffed it down pretty deep, and I began using it down pretty deep in February. And I actually relinquished that information to her about name change, and it says female on my ID,

and hormones, and I mean, I'm registered as a female with the gym. So.

And were you at that moment, cause she told us about a couple of different encounters.

Were you fully clothed at that moment? Well, she has become aggressive with me on four different occasions, actually at different locations in Los Angeles at Gold's gym. But, um.

Look at that vein on the neck. You know he benches two plates.

I believe I was enrobed in a towel or whatever. And this last time I was clothed the entire time.

Squat at least three plates.

You know, again, I apologize if this is too graphic, but I just think it's important. Have you let's speak truth, baby Okay, have you fully transitioned? Is it look at the excuse be clearer when you say that your genitalia? That is a process that requires a quite lengthy Work like for instance, I sat in a chair and had hair follicles removed from my face for two hours yesterday in a process called electrolysis. In order to have that surgery done...

Okay, Rob, stop. Please stop. I'm good. I've had enough.

So, Rob, do you have that picture? So, Rob, I sent you what I sent you.

So, Pat, this is...

Those are suspicious answers. He didn't say that right there, Vinny him.

So this is him. She scrolled. This is what lives of Tick-Tock put out that this is the guy that has the domestic abuse.

Looks pretty much like him without all the hair on his face. He did the so multiple sources are connecting. Exactly. This guy back in his Ohio time as Grant Freeman. Apparently, according to this, there's a mugshot and there's an arrest. The black girl right there, she posted something saying, Grant Freeman, 32 years old, date of birth 2-28-1993, from Sentencing County, Hamilton, Lebanon, Correctional, Ohio, failed

to comply, drug trafficking, and he has an assault charge. And so this is sentencing information in Department of Corrections. So we're not supposing here. The formal Grant Thornton comes out to LA

and is now in these altercations with this very upset woman. And you can imagine why she's upset if she's encountering individual hasn't transitioned and says hey that's male genitalia that's junk there and you're in here showering with us and if you still got your junk you still have your capability of rape and so why wouldn't she be upset? Yeah and Gold Shims'

stance is that people can use whatever locker room matches their gender identity. They don't care about safety, they don't care about ding-a-lings hanging out, just more of the same nonsense. Like, right when you think we're done, we're done, California has to prove that they're not stopping. Well, this is the Chappelle joke're good with the L's. We're good with the G's. We're good with the B's or the cues. The teas, the teas are making everything a little bit more challenging. What do you mean? A little bit of a black lesbian basically going ham on the team community. Like what is going on here? And you have some dude, literal dude who shaves his face, puts

on some lipstick and he's like, what do you mean yeah I'm a you guys transition forget that I have a no bulge and everything it's just beyond bulge California not good never mind that he's got a criminal record for assault against other humans that's assault that's Grant Freeman yeah yeah never I mean that that's what it

says three man today he saw me walk into the woman's room followed me and called me a

Wow, okay. All right, let's keep the bottom say Rob

Let's scream in. No, I don't want to see the right at this point. We got it out of our system guys We're gonna be okay next story. I want to get to before we wrap up as two stories next one is McDonald's US Sales rise but profits fall short as it warns Americans are dining out Less okay, so if we go Rob do me a favor Put a put a put a post a poll say are you dining out less than you were five years ago? Okay?

Just maybe not even five years ago. Are you dining out less than you were in 2019? Okay? Let's see what they're going to say. McDonald's saw a key sales metric jump in third quarter as a double down on discount meals but it fell short on earnings as a a warn anxious Americans have cut back on dining out

US same stores increased 2.4 percent for second straight quarter that beat estimates of a 1.9 percent rise Don't McDonald's attributed this to a larger average Check implying diners are paying more for their meals despite the fast-food industry value Wars overall the same store sales rose 3.6 percent, revisiting a decline of 1.5 percent previous year. McDonald's CEO Chris Kamjinsky said that the results are a testament to our ability to

deliver sustainable growth, even in a challenging environment. Shares in the world's largest fast food chain jumped 2 percent Wednesday morning, but the Golden Arches continue to warn that Americans are dining out less often, especially on low-income diners. We continue to see a bifurcated consumer base with traffic from lower-income customers declining

nearly double digits in the third quarter, a trend that's persisted for nearly two years. Wow, that's pretty interesting, Rob, when you see that. So, Tom, thoughts on this story with McDonald's? Rob, I wanna see the poll in a minute as well, if you don't mind. But go ahead, Tom.

Okay. So the first thing is McDonald's has seen the sales rise. That's the top, that's the revenue number. So they're seeing the revenue go up. And if you've been into McDonald's or you've seen them, you can see that the prices of number one to eight, the meal deals that are up there is up and so inflation has reached McDonald's and then not just yesterday

But over the last three years and it's very very real. So fewer Low income are coming in for basics and that's been going on They said for two years dating back to the Biden administration's and the Biden inflation that came out of the Biden economy Which was the fault of Joe Biden. So you see that's been going on for two years and they're warning and saying, hey, look, low income people are coming in less and less and our sales are being driven because our

top line sales number is up because following inflation, we had to raise our prices a bit and those diners are still here. But when they say bifurcated, they're saying there's two sides of society. There's people that can afford what's the inflation that's happened, and they're still here,

and our revenue number's up a little bit, and therefore their stock's up a little bit. But America, the lower income people are coming in less and less. And this has been going on for two years which shows the stress that the low-end people are under. We need paying jobs, we need the things that Trump is putting in place, 1.5 trillion dollars of investment

by companies you know coming to in America on factories and we need those jobs to happen and this is the we're coming and they saying this is two years so this has been going on for two years and Trump's not going to get it turned around in nine months but what it shows is that there's two sides to America going on right now and it's real and it's affordability and it's the exit result of the you know the Biden inflation but we got to recover and

there's a new sheriff in town and he needs time for a lot of policies to help Rob. What's the poll looking like? Let's look at the poll What are people saying about if they're dining out less? Oh, they are Huh? Interesting and that's our audience saying this It's a very interesting the fact that people are dining out less than they were in 2019. Pre-COVID, right? Yeah, that's why I asked the question, pre-COVID, why aren't they dining out less than 2019? Can you go to McDonald's just to see what the prices are nowadays?

Let's just go to McDonald's menu and prices. Is there a, does it show us prices or not at all?

Can you get an image, yeah, get an image of the 1-8 Rob? I don't know but I'm getting real hungry right now.

Last time I had a Big Mac was September of 97. You haven't had a Big Mac since 97? September of 97.

Oh you're missing out pal, you gotta live a little bit. Trump can hook you up.

Look at that right there, what is it Big Mac? Are you joking? How much? Does it say $8.39? $8.39! Does it say 839? 839 for the meal? No, the sandwich. For the burger? 8, I can make you a gourmet. A quarter pounder is 8 bucks.

How much is the McDouble though? How much is the heart attack for free? Chicken McNuggets is 839? No way. No way. That has to come with a combo. Rob, can you go back and let's just see what these prices were 20 years ago. Is there a way to do that? Or just say, what about 2019? Yeah, maybe go to 2019. How much have prices of,

how much has prices of a Big Mac at McDonald's increased the last six years?

And just FYI, if I get another message, Deli said Uber Eats and delivery apps have better deals than if you go in person.

It's better if you stay home and order it. So 21% is by year though. Because if it goes from, it's not $5.29 today, on their website it says $8. So $4.39 was the price in 2021 20 to 2019 go on the website Rob are you sure that's just the price for the Big Mac or is that a

meal let's see that's got no that's the classic beef nutrition price 672 okay so

672 from what number was it before? Four something in 2019. And what was it in 2015? Because that's 10 years. I want to say 275. What was it in 2015?

What?

Okay, so that's relatively the same. Go to 1999. A lot of people... Prince, go to 1999. A lot of people. Prince, go to 1999.

You have a lot of people that are gonna buy Big Macs today because of this.

Let's see this one. 1999 was 245.

Wow.

Listen, if we can go back to 1999 prices, I'll buy a Big Mac. Let's go. But I can't do the $6 stuff. That's out of control.

You don't take your kids to McDonald's? To give them poison nuggets?

No.

What?

You want to give them poison, bro? Your kids don't get Happy Meals?

Are you actually being serious?

I'm being serious.

Your kids don't go to McDonald's? Listen.

Have you seen how in shape his kids are? Believe me, Tico kicks my ass. Dylan's calves are bigger than my biceps. You guys all, you think he's eating nuggets, dude? What are you, nuts? You're telling me that Senna's like, I want a Happy Meal, she doesn't get it?

In Dallas, maybe.

Let me actually ask.

You take him to In-N-Out Burger. I've been to In-N-Out Burger. That's a whole different situation, Adam.

In-N-Out Burger's a different situation.

How often, in the way. Let's see what's going on.

Guys, a fight's about to break out live. By the way, I don't know if you guys, shout out to McDonald's though. I saw somebody take a Big Mac and they put it in a glass case and put it in the attic for nine years.

Nothing changed, nothing happened, and then they poured hot, smoltering lava on the bun, it just flew right off. That's true. That's not good, Adam. Lava should go through a big man.

What is that, Rob? The index that I think Humberto sent? Is that showing like what the prices are?

Yeah, across different countries.

Let me see it. Zoom in a little bit from the highest to the lowest. Switzerland is the highest. Argentina, Uruguay,. Taiwan. So dumb. India is 262. India is 262. Interesting. 262 in India.

Probably not a lot of beef in that thing in India.

Look at Ukraine. Look at Ukraine. See, things are looking up in Ukraine. Big Mac, 286. Okay, there you go. So that's McDonald's for you. So did Jed answer the question? You know, in India. Is there beef in this? What? What do you think the answer is? I want to say three times maybe in the last 90 days. Okay. Four times in the last 90 days. That's fair. It has to be a special. First of all, do you know what time Dylan went to sleep last night? 1 a.m. What's that guy doing? Guys I the guy had four hours of homework to do after his soccer practice was

done at 945. We stayed up till 1 a.m. like he come he would buy the first way he did hour and a half tutoring right after school to finish up his homework and another three hours last night. What by the way the kid will not go until he wraps up his. You know

what he deserves for all that respect? I'll tell you Big Mac. A happy meal, bro. I'll hook that kid up.

I will take him to some other places, but we ain't going to the Big Mac daddy type of

stuff.

Dylan, keep doing your homework. Uncle Adam's going to take you for a happy meal. Oh wow, look what Jen said. I want you to see the text. What's the answer? What's the answer? Zero. Good.

What does she say next?

When are you coming home, daddy? I'm sorry.

So stupid.

Daddy's home.

Daddy's home.

Maybe once a year.

Maybe once a year.

Wow, Jen.

Good for you.

Yeah. Just to clear the air here, are you just anti-McDonald's?

Are you anti-bad fast food? a few years ago to try to make the diet for the kids better. We, we had, our kids haven't had cereal for almost three years. And like I said, they look one cereal in three years, one cereal for three years. Hey, I love my cocoa crispies. It's the Coco's of chocolatey fruity pebbles. Stop it. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

We're there at what time were we there three o'clock three?

Yeah, it took us ten minutes to get there. Yeah, of course. Yeah, my tail was totally right Jessica was the waitress and she was she was great when she goes if you don't like my service Call me Melissa. He's trying to do his job. Guys, I'm kidding. First of all, if there was a fight, I do think Matteo can hang.

Oh, Matteo's a gangster.

I got no issues with Matteo.

He just, he just, he loves balls to your balls. 10 minutes. Vinny goes, dude, the women here, by the way, it's Brickle Miami downtown. That's what you're going to see on camera. I'm just saying that's what the women here. Incredible. I go, Vinny, this is the three o'clock PM shift. And even the, the maitre d' the hospital goes, wait, you come tonight at 10 o'clock.

I'm like, I'm going to hang out. He's like, Vinny's like, I'll be fast asleep by then.

I go, yeah, trader in Congress ever. Her ability with the investment she made in her career, life changing, I don't think she gets enough credit. I think we do need to give her love. Rob, is this...

If she had been in charge of Social Security, it wouldn't be in this mess.

Yes. Rob, what is this right now?

This is her announcing her retirement, and then I also have a clip of her talking about

the president. Did you intentionally pause the picture with your lips like a like a go ahead

Rob just go ahead Rob. She has no teeth. I will not be seeking re-election to Congress. With a grateful heart I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative. Thank you San Francisco for trusting me to be your voice in Congress. May God bless you and may God bless the United States of America.

And then is this a one-on-one where she gives credit to Trump for her career and all the

accomplishments? Go ahead Rob. He's just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the Earth. You think he's the worst thing on the face of the Earth? I do. Yeah. Why is that? Because he's the president of the United States and he does not honor the constitution of the United States. In fact, he's turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He's abolished the House of Representatives. He's chill. Okay. So now, and then this is what

Federman had to say, which nowadays Federman is a sound of reason on, you know, when it comes up. It really is. That's so crazy. If you want some reason, go to this guy. Sweater.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

I would say that's part of the worst creatures on the face of the earth are Hamas or like the leadership of Iran or there's a lot of people on that. I would never use those kind of terms and I wouldn't describe our president. You can really disagree with him and I do disagree, but I don't think that's really entirely appropriate. But that's her words for that. So for me, that's just a different kinds of a Democrat for me. I don't going to call people they're fascists, they're Nazis or compare the people and those kinds of terms.

Okay, President Trump said for almost four decades. He almost started with four score years ago because you know, she was she's been around for a while. Nancy Pelosi has served American people and work to make their country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed and I will always be grateful for support on Affordable Care Act. She made us proud to be Democrats and will go down in history as one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had.

Nancy, thank you for your leadership and friendship. Michelle and I wish you and Paul the best in the next chapter. Tom, are you like, and I know this is sentimental to you, are you going to miss her?

No, I'm not going to miss her policies. I'm not going to miss her divisiveness. I'm not going to miss that side of it. I will say this. We need to turn to history and look at it. As the female Speaker of the House, that was a huge accomplishment.

As a young girl that wanted to rise up and serve in government, she made it there. She stayed there. We can say a lot of things about her portfolio, facts on the table. We can say a lot of things about her policies, facts on the table. And we can say we disagree with her. But the one element that I will give her credit for is a young girl wanted to go serve and wanted to make it, and she did. And what she did with that power when she got there, I don't think was entirely good for all of America.

And I'm not going to miss her. But I'll give that balanced assessment. And I think one of the big accomplishments was also from her husband, Paul. Who knew that if your house is trying to be broken into at 2am, you're supposed

to pour drinks, take off your pants and mingle. Most people go for the gun, you know.

That's where you're going to go.

So I will say this.

Oh no!

Oh no! Let me take my pants off! There are things that are odd, but I meant what I said about her. I mean she became female Speaker of the House and she, you know, and she had a lot of power there. I'm not going to miss her policies and the way and what she did

with that. Oh, her district is absolutely disgusting. If you look at her district, it's absolutely, there's people on the street, there's homeless people. Like, Pat, this is, Rob, you could just, you know, there's a lot of different report cards that are fact-based. Yeah, look at this, guys. This is a lady that's traveling to work daily in Tenderloin, San Francisco. This is her district, and it looks like a zombie-ville. People on the street, garbage in the streets. So this is Nancy Pelosi.

All she can—I give you credit, Tom, for saying that. Man, what a—she did it for the democratic cause and what they want and all the illegals and bowing down the BLM and all, she did a fantastic job and she's been on the taxpayer roll for 38 years earning a salary of $174,000 a year.

She is leaving.

What was lower when she started?

That's today. Yeah, that's today. Her net worth in 1987 was $165,000. Guess what it was last year? $280 million. So you want to talk about vile creatures

that cheat the system and do all the things to get ahead. And meanwhile, her district of San Francisco looks like that. Ladies and gentlemen, Nancy Pelosi.

Boy, that kind of money, they could afford an alarm system at the house.

You think so?

And he wouldn't have had to answer. There you go. Well, there you go. Drinks and all that.

Yeah.

Well, listen, I I'm not as hard on Nancy Pelosi as maybe you guys. I don't think I'm, I'm not a fan, but I will give her credit where credits do. I think she's the first female speaker of the house ever. I think she's been serving in Congress on what, 40 years? 38. Crazy. 38, what happened? You know, where I actually developed a little bit of respect for Nancy Pelosi was when she visited Taiwan. This was, I think, in 2022, and this was right at the height of China and this and that.

And I think she or China warned her, do not go to Taiwan. Do not show that there's alignment with the U S and Taiwan. And Nancy Pelosi said, screw you, China. I'm going to do what I got to do. That was a gangster move on her end. Uh, there's obviously we could critique her on what's going on with the stock trade and everything. Yeah, there she was right there. That was a gangster move. I mean, we can rip her to shreds and a lot of things, especially, you know, clap for Trump. But, you know, there's some, some things that we abide by here at Valuetainment that Pat

has taught us. PHP, you say outwork, out-improve, out-strategize, outlast. She's done all that. The one thing I would say that she probably has not necessarily done was out-improve, strategize and outlasted a lot of the people out there in politics and

Not for everybody politics is nasty. You gotta learn how to fight. It's dirty and she's a Wrestle with the best and she's been the nasty one as well. Yeah leading the way but You know, we will wish her nothing but the best. I do want to show this

Question from Manek that was sent in there Tom. I'm gonna come to you with this one and see what you're gonna be saying.

So this is from Greg Van Leuven.

Greg Van Leuven. Great name. He says, one of my best friends was born and raised in the Bronx. Tom, I want a two-minute answer. I don't want to be a long and I'm gonna show something before we wrap up. Okay, I'll give my version that, Adams. Yeah, that's perfect. One of the best friends was born and raised in the Bronx and has been running a small business under 10 employees doing tours in New York City over the last 10 years. For someone like him, where the politics governing the city makes a massive difference on their livelihood but where he doesn't necessarily have the means to pick up and leave, what

would your best advice be for him and his family over the next four years? So if you're running a tour guide business in New York, you know, everyone is not leaving. It's not going to become a ghost town. And you may need to adapt your product to the consumer. And perhaps you need to now move that tour guide to things that liberals would like to see. And remember, Michael Jordan said,

Republicans buy sneakers too. So if you can't pick up and move because of the course of your business, you can respond to the market. And you don't have to like everything about the market. But as Michael Jordan said, Republicans buy sneakers too. I would adapt myself for the people that want to be there in New York and that maybe are coming to visit and adapt your tours for them. And if you absolutely positively can't move and can't go anywhere else, that's where I would go. But I will say this, there's a tremendous amount of great stuff going on in Miami. If you made it down to Miami and the tours that you could go on Miami

and see what's happened down there to the Freedom Tower that's at Miami Dade Cows, which was a symbol for the people that came from Cuba, you can do it. But if you can't pick up and move, adapt yourself to the consumers that are there and do your best.

You could just learn a couple of words if you're going to continue the tours. Just learn As-salamu alaykum, alaykum salam.

And be like, here to the left there's a thousand people running in to get free groceries at the bodega. They're all beating the crap out of each other. Yeah, and then over here, they're all praying on the street. Sorry you can't walk there.

They get a comedy tour. By the way, part of it made me think about the other day, I don't know why, one of the girls wanted to watch the movie, was it Break Up? Is it Break Up with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston? The best movie, I love that movie. You know what they did in the movie? Vince Vaughn is a tour guide in Chicago.

He's a tour guide, he's all the best. clinic and ask for the Tully Savalas. Oh yeah that's right. And there's the Statue of Liberty, yeah she does have a burqa on now, and then you just look really close. Lose yourself!

I don't know, we got out of control. Vince Vaughn always does this man. He's the man, we love you Vince these asks with everything that was going on with what is the event that happened recently that Mafia was tied to, the gambling. They said, Pat, is the Mafia States of America out there? Can we find a way to get access to it? So here's what we're doing.

If you haven't seen this, this is the first time where Sammy DeBolt Gravano and Michael Francis after years of talking to both of them agreed to do a sit-down of two and a half days the footage we had 24 hours of footage that we put into ten different episodes they got in deep talking about politicians their role talking about what used to be illegal that's now legal being used by a lot of politicians it was actually very very insightful and it was a first documentary series that we did. It did very, very well.

But we're gonna be releasing it on Spotify, for free. But I want you to watch the trailer on when we did the sit down. Go ahead, Rob.

There's an old saying, it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. Well, of course, Nostra does neither. That's why Patrick Beck Davis knew the story of La Cosa Nostra had to be told.

What is Cosa Nostra to you and does it still have the same meaning today as it did back in the 80s?

He knew there were only three men alive who could do the story of justice.

Cosa Nostra is an evil life. We built cities, New York, Chicago, Vegas.

They infiltrated our politics, they infiltrated our businesses, they infiltrated the church.

Betrayal happens all the time.

Is that inevitable?

It happens all the time. Is that inevitable? It happens all the time.

For the first time anywhere, you will see a sit down between two made men. Not just soldiers in the mob.

You're not me, you can't sit down with me.

But real bosses.

You're not the underboss anymore, my friend.

And the man that brought it all crashing down. There are a few people that are genetically inherently bad.

There are bodies flying all over the place.

They found Joe blowing a trumpet.

45, 50 dead bodies all over the river.

Wow.

Point your finger at me or what are you gonna do?

What am I gonna do? I'll break your face.

I always say a lot of these mafia guys could have really accomplished a lot if they'd only gone straight. That's half true this is

the real

this was a great project man very exciting project Rob when are we
