Trump & Xi Meeting + Fauci’s COVID Coverup | PBD #799

I gotta tell you if this continues to happen with Jake defending Vinny every single freaking time he falls off the wagon I'm gonna have a problem here every single time I come in so Jake's like it's okay Vinny's having a bad day just give him a break every time I have to deal with this Vinny, wake your ass up, Vinny.Let's go.My goodness, every time, Vinny.I'm so sorry we're late, guys.It's getting...Oh, you and Jake.

Jake's like your agent, defending you every single time, Jake.This is it.

I'm sick of it.

You know, one, I have to deal with him, then I have to deal with having to repeat myself three times to Tom.And then Adam can't stop doing podcasts with Dave Smith.It's like every single time, I'm... getting out there with uh these guys are becoming buddies doing stuff and talking about expertise in the comedy industry but we're figuring this thing out folks as a bunch of amateurs we're trying to see on what's going on here with stories i'm sorry pat did you say something yeah that's right i have to say three times but uh we will figure this thing out okay collectively we're getting better the survey's making everybody god willing get better and if it doesn't We'll go back to selling gym memberships at Ballet Tour de Finland, some local gym membership here.But anyways, let's go into some stories.Some crazy things happened.A bunch of important, powerful people went to China.

I don't know if you heard or not.This guy who is the leader of the free world, they call him President Donald J. Trump, took a bunch of billionaires and successful folks to China to negotiate.There was a lot of back and forth that happened.Trump said this is the first time ever where a relationship has been this long, and then Rubiocomments about Taiwan Taiwan was like the main topic You know what China kept saying Vinny just to kind of give you an idea.It's like well You know their time I will send you 200 Boeing for the first time in 10 years.

I think they did a contract to sell Potentially China purchase.Did you just have a hiccup?Yeah China purchase to potentially purchasing 200 Boeing Aircrafts, but then at the same time they're thinking about selling 75 ,000 chips to Alibaba Tencent by dance JD comm Foxconn Lenovo to China through NVIDIA, and a lot of people are like, wait a minute, what are we talking about?Even though there was a little bit of a bump on the stock market, I know you were watching it closely.Then on top of that, with Xi's warning multiple times about Taiwan topics, that Taiwan issue is the most significant concern in the China -U .S.

relations, if addressed properly.Stability, conversely, and mishandling, it could lead to clashes and conflict.By the way, again, China's red line, the Taiwan issue lies at the heart of China's fundamental interests.And then Rubio turns around and says, well, Too bad, because the U .S.policy towards Taiwan is unchanged.

Period.Can you imagine this guy?It would be a terrible mistake for China to try to take Taiwan by force.And then Taiwan comes out and says, hey, with gratitude, we just want to say we're expressing gratitude for Washington's long -term support and views, actions attributing to regional stability positively.So Taiwan's like, yeah, you guys backed us up.So anyways, there's a lot of stuff going there.

Then out of all the stories, listen, all these things that's going on, you know what was Tom's top story?Tom's top story that we lost Tom for about 17 minutes this morning is the playlist.And one of the songs on the playlist when the president arrived, they have this one song.Don't show it yet, Rob, because I know this is a big hit for Tom.You guys got to see what the song was.And maybe Tom will have to perform it because of how celebratory it was for him.

It was impressive.so we'll let you know what that song is couple other stories if Drake is making this song that's coming out taking shots at LeBron if you haven't read the lyrics it's crazy he calls out a bunch of different people he gives compliments to KD and and even a couple other shots he takes that folks but one of them was specifically to LeBron and it's kind of weird Because many years ago when LeBron came out, I think Drake's first song or one of his first songs was about LeBron.I think a lot of the lyrics, right?And we'll talk about that.Tom's got a, you know, he specializes in hip -hop, so we'll go to him for his analysis.Thomas Massey, some interesting things going on with Thomas Massey.

Humberto said, let's please talk about it.We will.Cuban Raul Castro indicted.And, you know, can you imagine Castro's brother, who for what he did in 96 Rob, is being claimed of the plane.That was attacked, I think it was bringing humanitarian aid, and now we're going back.So it's very interesting what's going on with the way they're sequencing on how to take over Cuba.

And we'll watch that.Karen Bass, you know, some of you guys know people who lose, you know, who have used meth and use meth regularly.You know, once you get there, it's very tough to get off.She comes out and says, these people who use meth don't have teeth.They can't eat.We have to get them teeth to be able to eat.

That was one of her campaigns.And you know Spencer Pratt's going to jump on top of that one when you say something dumb like that.So we'll address that.And then aside from that, there's a kidnapping story, devastating, four -year -old.Vinny's got thoughts on that story.And then I got a couple other things here.

British, this is a very weird story on what's going on in UK.This 18 -year -old kid, I think he's a finance major, is going to college.A 23 -year -old guy, who apparently is a Sikh, comes in with a knife, a ceremonial knife, and stabs the kid.Then he says, that guy disrespected me.and he offended me cops come They put the 18 year old kid in handcuffs white guy sitting on the side.He bleeds to death Yep in UK.

Yeah, and you're telling me that's normal like you defend it Oh that guy offended me by saying some words.We'll address that I mean why you know, by the way, no one's talking about that The mainstream is not gonna talk about that because it goes against the narrative and in this new movie coming out Odyssey Can you imagine, it's about the history of what happened in Greece and Greeks and all this other stuff.Not a single person that was casted for this movie is Greek.Not one.And not only that, Sonny Hostin is now trying to tell us that Helen of Troy was somehow the African of the you have to see it.I can't even say the word.

Tom's got a good point.Tom says maybe she's talking about a Helen from Troy, Michigan.Oh, African -American.Oh, Helen Williams is part of the League of Women Voter from Troy, Michigan.And Musk loses it saying what a dumb thing for these guys to do.A grades are suddenly not a big deal.

Everyone apparently in school is getting A's.I was counting how many A's I got in school, but apparently everyone's getting A's today.in school because of ChadGBT.And Tom's wife, who's been a teacher for quite some time, she has a way of tracking who is using ChadGBT and who's not.And on top of that, even though A's are climbing, there is one test score that isn't.Matter of fact, it's declining.

And it's important for parents to know this.Tom will give us insight on this.And then Kamala Harris came out and revealed Their hands of what they want to do and by the way for some of you guys that think kamala will never run again after a devastating 107 days that we all had to listen to that voice.It was a very difficult I can listen to obama for hours his voice bill clinton soothing voice when he speaks Joe biden's voice you can listen to the guy's voice by the way I can listen to hillary clinton's voice.I know 10 times more than you can hear kamala harris whenever we playclip by Kamala Harris, 60 % of viewers quit.

And studies have shown about 1 % of them have anxiety attacks and panic attacks.0 .1 % accidents happen when they watch Kamala Harris speak.But we're going to play this clip because it's going to reveal what her agenda is.And last but not least, maybe one of the best clips we'll play today.Vinny just showed it to me.It could be the best clip, honestly, is a clip of James Comey.

Ladies asking James Comey.So hey, if the president offered you a pardon, would you have taken it?He says, no.He says, why would you have not taken it?Because the act of taking a pardon or receiving a pardon is saying you're guilty.Then she says, so are you saying the same thing as Fauci and all these other guys that took the pardon?

They're guilty?I'll let him answer for you on what he said, because it's an indirect shot at Fauci, and it's important for us to address that.Now, having said that, for us that are going into the weekend, And we're having conversations about the 250 -year anniversary that's coming around the corner.We can't wait for that.As well as the World Cup.And everyone's saying, Pat, what happened to the next hat?

I thought we were doing more limited edition hats.By the way, Rob, can you do me a favor?Go on eBay if you could and type in Future Looks Bright.Everything for some of you guys that missed the last hats and you're like, Pat, I can't get it.Just go on eBay.The previous ones, the number, you're going to pay premium because people buy it and put it on here.

So if you go a little bit lower, a lot of these hats are here that you can go order from previous limited edition ones.But today, Rob, if you can play the clip, we have a limited edition one out of 250, USA 250 year anniversary edition, and it's sick.Go ahead, Rob.

Bold decisions shape the future.For 250 years, that mindset has defined a nation.Not someday, but now.Unapologetic, always moving forward.And the ones who carry on, they don't wait for permission.They build.

They risk.They lead.This is for them.Precision in every detail.In every stitch.A symbol of where you stand.

All right, here's all I'll tell you, folks.I'm telling you, in 30 minutes, this hat's going to be gone.For those of you guys that want to gift it to somebody, Go to vtmerch .com, place your order, get the shirt, get the sweater.If not for you, get it for somebody else.And for some of the youngins that they buy, they get upset when it goes through, they buy it and they put it on eBay, you know, you can do your thing as well.

But go to vtmerch .com, place your order.This will not last long.And sport it.Go to work, go to the gym, put it on, go to church.Others will recognize the brand.

Future looks bright as it's getting bigger.With that being said, let's get right into the first story.The president and his team visits China, and now the clips are out.The conversations, what was discussed, what was the main issue?China's number one issue, they made it very clear and kept repeating it over and over and over and over again, and that was Taiwan.So as the conversations are happening with the visit, first things first, if you can go to what the president said, the meaning.

the significance of this, the fact that this is the longest standing relationship a president has had with the leader of China.Go ahead, Rob.

I would call you, and you would call me, and whenever we had a problem, people don't know.Whenever we had a problem, we worked that out very quickly.

You and I have no need.Yeah, you can pause it right there.So, you know, and then he says, people give me a hard time that I'm being complimentary, all this other stuff.And then Xi gets up and he says, look, the president is actually making America great again.Can you imagine?The leader of China officially joined MAGA, okay?

1 .3 billion people that can no longer vote.cannot vote, but officially the leader of that 1 .3 billion people is Manga.Go ahead, Rob.

250th anniversary of American independence.The over 300 million American people are reinvigorating the spirit of patriotism, innovation, and enterprise, and ushering in a new journey for the development of the United States.The people of China and the United States are both great peoples.Achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand.We can help each other succeed and advance the well -being of the whole world.

So anyways, a lot of things was discussed.Tom, I mean, I know you're following this closely.What were the most important issues for you?Most important issues that you saw them talk about?

So first of all, I think it was strong to walk off the plane with basically, you know, 20 % of the GDP of the United States.I mean, I thought that was a boss move to walk in with that.But what came out of it so far seems to be a little thin.I was kind of waiting on Taiwan.I was waiting for Trump to be Trump.You know how he trolls?

You know, she, uh, Qatar gave me a seven 47, beautiful, big, beautiful plane, really wonderful.I think gifts like that should go around.So you know what I'm, you know what I'm doing?Celebrate Taiwan, you know, the double 10 festival, October 10th, I'm giving him an aircraft carrier.I thought that would just be nice of me. I was waiting for Trump to like say something like that in sort of his Trumpian way.You know what I mean?

Just go there.But they really didn't, they kind of avoided it.But what came out of it on the economic side seems kind of, I was expecting a little more, but I'm glad to see what's what's there, but I was a little concerned about we've been talking about not giving advanced chips to China and now Yesterday they said Nvidia can sell the h200 which is a powerful chip to China 10 Chinese companies can buy the h200 and yesterday in videos to 75 ,000 of them.Yeah, and yesterday Nvidia was up 10 bucks yesterday went up 10 immediately, like from 225 to 235.And then Citi, Jane Fraser was there, CEO of Citi, and she was given permission to get through the regulation in China.And now they're going to operate a big securities business.

Boeing got 200 planes.The rumor was they were going to buy 500.And then Besant came out, along with Jameson Greer, the US trade representative,and said, hey, you know, the Board of Trade looks like a go. II think that's a positive thing, to have a discussion ongoing discussion back and forth about trade and tariffs.I think that's progress.

Do I think China is still going to cheat?Absolutely.Do I think that's progress?Yes, I do.But overall, I give the trip, from what I can see on the outside, probably a solid B, but I want to see the rest of the stuff come out of it.I want to see real announcements come out about real agriculture, about real trade trade deals with specifics.

That's what I want to see.And I really wanted to see a little bit more on Taiwan, where we draw the line on Taiwan and say, listen.

I think we kind of did.I think we did a little bit with what Rubio said.I think the part that gets a little bit of the criticism, Tom, that people were worried, there was a clip where the president is talking to Hannity, right?And he says, we're both spying on each other.

And like a jokingly manner, which I get it.But at the same token, it's like, this is something serious.

Yeah, so there's a clip where they're saying, look, they spy on us, we spy on them, which by the way, he's not lying, he's right, that they're both spying on each other.

For 50 years, he like jokingly says that.

For 50 years, there's a clip of a...

I might have sent it to you, Rob, if I didn't.

Yeah, so, but the point is, like when he's saying spying on each other, we spy on you, you spy on us, one of the talks was that On the criticism side of the president was saying, hey, allowing China to buy more agriculture in America, which, by the way, there's a there's a lot of people like that.We don't want these guys to buy any land here with us.Of course.

Yeah.And they've been we caught some of their spies trying to come over and poison our freaking fields.Right.Like agricultural freaking terrorism.

Right.Right.And that happened in different places.Some are seeing that's also what happened in Florida for the you know, the orange farms that took a big shot here last 20 years, you know, down 85, 90%.So, and then the other part, was this it, Rob, on the spying?Yes, sir.

Yeah, go for it.Go for it.it.

He goes for the Department of Justice.It's the bureaucrats inside.

Here we go.He said, we spy on them too, I guess, you know.So, some people thought that was cute.Other people said, you don't have to say that.They said, I sort of do.No, we have, we do things and they do things and that's the way it is.

Now, with that being said, I spoke to, him very strongly about that, and I'd like to see it taken care of.But they've been doing that for 50 years.

In other words, will there be an improvement with trade?

Fentanyl is way down coming into the country, for two reasons.The border is strong, but it's also down because they're sending less.You know, we taxed them.I gave them a 20 percent tariff because of fentanyl.It's like a penalty.Nobody ever did that.

You didn't know that, probably.I gave them a 20 % tariff because they're sending Fenta.It's a huge amount of money.Vinny, your thoughts.

Your thoughts on this.You know the saying, you know, keep your friends close but your enemies closer.I could see with that type of tactic.Tom made a really good point at the beginning, Pat, about how much money did you say, Tom?Or what was the amount?It was $12 ,000.

trillion dollars worth of companies and people there.Elon Musk of Tesla, Tim Cook of Apple, Jensen Heng from NVIDIA, Larry Fink, BlackRock, Jane Frazier, Citigroup, Larry Culp from GE Aerospace, and then Kelly Ottenberg from Boeing, and then Pat, they have executives from Meta, MasterCard, Visa, Illumina, Goldman Sachs, and Coherent.So dude, they had serious, serious thing there.I think a huge, I think a deal, Tom, a big deal, is on the horizon.But at the same time, the last time that the president visited Beijing was November 2017, nine years ago.And right after that, what happened?

Trade deal, and then a couple of years later, COVID.the biggest freaking pandemic we've had in God knows how long.So again, Pat, people call it an adversary.I think they're still our enemy because of what they did.But think about it.He's over there.

I don't think anything with COVID came up when we talk about the spying.We just found out another mayor.Another mayor has been a spy.For how long?I know he's saying that we're spying there.

Arcadia.

Arcadia, California.Suburb of L .A.If our spies are getting caught over there, they're getting killed.OK, because we don't hear nothing about them.But think about the history, Tom.

Spy balloons during Biden's administration and nobody said anything.They're buying farmland next to our military bases by mounts from Air Force Base, where I was stationed.Remember, I forgot what year.Many of them, many of them.And then we had they had a secret Chinese police department in Chinatown in Manhattan, and it's just, you know, Pat, I'm just very weary because, you know, this is, again, our adversary.They are our enemy, I understand, doing business, and I want to, you know, build a relationship, but then they're gonna, Trump approved what, Trump's saying that they can bring 500 foreign students here.

500 ,000.500 ,000, I apologize, to buy land, Pat, and take away from America, and I understand, I get I'm not going to try to act like I'm a geopolitical professional.I don't trust China at all, period.And the one thing I wish he could have asked Xi in front of his face is, hey, COVID, we know, we don't think, we know, we've proved it came out of a freaking lab in your country, in Wuhan, where Dr. Fauci is implicated.What's up with that?Any investigations?

Nothing.So I wish I wish he would have got a little bit harder with that part.Your thoughts?

Well, China was supposed to replace us as the number one country in the world in 2025, I believe.

Made in China 2025.

Exactly.And they failed miserably.So let me just be super clear.China's not in America's league.We were sold because a lot of our manufacturing went there and basically our politicians basically bowed to China.Because of Trump, America is by far the number one country in the world, and it's not even close.

We were told that China was supposed to surpass us.Let me just give you some quick stats.What is our GDP versus theirs?Do you know it off the top of your head?Do you know it?$30 trillion to $19 trillion.

So China would need Germany, Japan, and Saudi Arabia's economy to somewhat equal United States.We have the number one economy in the world, GDP per capita.Do you know what it is in America versus China?$90 ,000 in America, GDP per capita.You know what it is in China?$14 ,000 per person.

That means you make $14 ,000 per person in China, 90K United States.Like Drake says, like Kendrick Lamar, they ain't like us.Okay, we have the number one world's economy, number one military, number one in innovation, number one in energy now.Who needs who more?I would argue China is not in our league.They need this meeting way more than us.

Yeah.So again, they do for sure.And Trump went in in a way where just visualize if Kamala would have gone, who would she have taken?Probably six transgenders.She would have probably taken Dylan Mulvaney and they would have sat there trying to negotiate and they would have sold everything we have to them instead of the ceremony that happened here.

She would have had the CEO of Smirnoff get off of her.

Yeah.So you see the ceremonial events that they put together for him coming there.They know what this is.They know who's the boss.Yeah.

And they know Biden.

She knows that he loved look how happy Trump is because there's people that are like and they're trying to make him happy to the point where They wanted to make a song like they knew what his playlist was paying attention to details Tom Do you want to talk about what it was on that one menu of songs that they were gonna play?

Yeah at the they had the equivalent of a stringdinner and we can see the Here and during the state dinner.They said they're a play plays.I mean look at this is very elegant brochure They got the White House there.They've got Beijing right there Beijing Palace right there Very very elegant that the official seals up in the corner and they have the music program and it's like China in the glow of lights Edelweiss the butterfly lovers We are the world A wish fulfilled.Ode to the Pear Blossom.

And the last one, YMCA.It's a state dinner lineup.Very elegant.John Philip Sousa.They have a Sousa march.Very elegant.

You know, a orchestral band playing there.Look at the detail and look at the silverware and the chopstick holder.I mean, this was elegant.This was very elegant and put together.And right there at the bottom of the playlist, Pat.What?

I didn't see it.Hang on a second.I'm getting a text.I have a text.Hang on.

Melania, please stop singing that.You paid attention to the poll on entertainment?

Melania called it a gay national anthem.

Melania said what?

Melania calls that song the Gay National Anthem.

Is that what he says?She called it the Gay National Anthem.She didn't say that.He said that she calls it the Gay National Anthem.And he said that she said that it's the Gay National Anthem.Okay, but let me continue with this on...

Go ahead.

She hates when I dance to what's sometimes referred to as the Gay National Anthem.You know that.She hates it.You know, that song was number 5 32 years ago, and it went to number 1 32 years later.There's never been anything like it.Never hit number one.

It was number 5 32 years ago, and it went to number one for months.during the last months of the game.We love that song.But she goes, darling, please.You know, she's a very elegant woman.She goes, darling, please don't dance.

It's not presidential.I said it may not be presidential, but I'm leading by 20 points in the polls.Yeah.

So you have that part now going back to the fun, everything here.We're glad we're having a president.So, Xi did to Trump what Newsom did to Xi when Xi went to California.Just to put in perspective, Xi did to Trump above and beyond what Newsom did to Xi when Xi went to San Francisco and they kind of opened it up.So, they're kind of showing the best and hey, we want to make sure you feel good about it.Now, the part about Taiwan, Tom.

That a lot of people are saying, like even you said, I don't know if it's going to happen.It's not going to happen.So this is the part messaging from everybody.Yes.We saw the chips with NVIDIA, $75 ,000, 75 ,000 chips to each of those company, Alibaba test, Tencent, ByteDance, JD .com, Foxconn, all that.

Yes.The 200 jets confirmed Boeing being sold at a price of 21 to $24 billion estimated value.Yes.You know, they were supposed to do 500, but when it came down to Taiwan, Xi was not changing.And even there was a moment where they asked about the topic of Taiwan to Trump and Xi, and it was an awkward moment.Rob, do you have that clip?

Watch this moment here on when they ask about Taiwan.Neither one of them want to comment on it.

Go ahead, Rob.

China's beautiful, right?China's beautiful.Now, Tom, I'm going to come to you with this one here first.Xi warned.Okay, this is a G to Trump private sessions Chinese FM readout May 13th the Taiwan issues the most significant concern in the China -us relation if addressed properly state -widestability.

Conversely, mishandling could lead to clashes and conflicts.This is Xi, privately, okay?Taiwan's red line, China's red line.The Taiwan issue lies at the heart of China's fundamental interest.Foreign Minister Lin Jian, okay?Xi pressed Trump to publicly oppose Taiwan independence.

Xi pressed Trump to say, hey, leave these guys alone.Then, Rubio's counter, Rob, if you have the clip with Rubio, Rubio was like, no, this is not what we're doing because, you know, the whole part of why this is creating a conflict is because Trump was about to sell $11 billion of arms package to them, and they authorized the largest ever Taiwan arms deal, but has not begun fulfilling China demanded Washington honor It's commitments.And this is in December 2025.So here's what Ruby had to say.Go ahead, Rob.

U .S.policy on the issue of Taiwan is unchanged as of today and as of the meeting that we had here today.It was raised.They always raise it on their side.We always make clear our position and we move on to the other topics.

We know where they stand and I think they know where we stand.

U .S.policy.Straight up, okay, for him to have that conversation.And by the way, Taiwan said thank you, expressed gratitude for Washington's long -term support and views, actions contributing to regional stability positively.Xi is saying, hey, halt the $11 billion weapons sale to Taiwan.

So you have to realize, this is an interesting place because China can like, wait a minute, you want me to be okay with you selling to Taiwan, but you don't want me to sell and help out Iran, why not?This is a double standard.So they're probably going to use that in the negotiation tactics to see who has what leverage.Tom, where do you stand with this?

Where I stand is this, don't sell that stuff to them.To Taiwan?Yeah.So when they say that, stop, don't do this, what they're really saying is, we're going to take it.We're going to take it.And if you're selling this, you're going to make it more bloody.

we don't jump in, or Japan offers support, or even Australia offers support, you know, naval support, Japan, Australia, they could get there very quickly.They could be part of a blockade.If no one jumps in, they're just going to take it.That's what they're telling you.And when they say, don't sell that stuff, And they make that the lead argument, Pat?They're telling you.

They're telling you that they're going to do it.And they're planning to do it sooner than later.And they don't want a heavier -armed Taiwan.They want to do to Taiwan exactly what we did in Venezuela.We didn't take over Venezuela.We came in, and we had the US Special Forces give special Uber services for Maduro, right?

We're going to give you a ride.Ride to New York.I don't want to go to New York.Too bad.Get in.Here's your track suit.

So it's like, and we took them.So that's what's going on.China is very, very clear.They're going to do this.And I think it's you can do it with an overwhelming military threatening force without bloodshed.And I think that's exactly what what China has in mind.

And they do not want Taiwan to have significant new weapons to fight back because now it becomes bloody and now it becomes big.

Yeah, and by the way, while this is going on with the Taiwan, I think that's a massive issue because I think the Taiwan issue, China is going to say the same with Iran, which it's interesting how they'll handle that.Okay.Then Xi is also bringing up and talking about the fact that this whole thing with Iran is lowering the amount of transactions and business that's being done.So, hey, we got to kind of figure this out as well, because, you know, we got to figure out Strait of Hormuz fairly fast because it's impacting business.Okay.It's impacting business.

Then Besson comes out and says, hey, this is why China has a significantly greater interest in reopening the Strait of Hormuz compared to the U .S., and he's right.He'sHe's right.So Trump's like, yeah, whatever.

But they're like, yeah, maybe whatever to you.But we're being impacted by it.Rob, I don't know if you have that clip by Besant on Besant making comments in regards to this.Is that it, Rob?Or is it a different clip?

I believe this is a different clip.This is him talking about the bilateral board of trade.

Well, it kind of goes with it.Put this one kind of goes with it.

Vice Premier and I, who have a very good working relationship, I think we've seen each other.This was either our eighth or ninth meeting, worked on the agenda for today's meeting in terms of the economics, the deliverables.And so we talked about purchases.We talked about some issues that the Chinese side had.And we're going to talk about forming a board of trade for the bilateral trade between the the US and China and we're going to talk about a board of investment that will be responsible for investment in nonsensitive areas.

Yeah, so okay, so there's Besson talking about that, you know, he's kind of a, you know, bringing up on the economy side because he's dealing with a different issue and in the meantime, you know who people are talking about that's missing?The guy named JD Vance that wasn't on the trip.Now, You know, Tom made it very clear yesterday why JD and the President didn't travel together.Tom, if you want to make that clear for the audience, why the President and the VP don't travel together?

The President and VP don't travel on the same plane together at all.That's just for safety.I mean, they could be going to Nebraska.You just don't want to have something happen and have them both lost.

Yeah, so that's something that's been historic.It's not like it's a big deal.

However, they don't send JD on a plane over to China either.They don't want both men on foreign—both people.President could be a female in the future.Vice President could be a female.They do not want both individuals.on the same foreign soil away.

And same thing, you already said that.

So it's the same thing that they don't want the same person to go in the same place on the same plane.So here's JD, making fun about it, joking about the fact that why he wasn't there.Go ahead, Rob.

The president just landed in China a few hours ago.You may know that because of Secret Service protocols that I don't travel outside of the country with the President of the United States.So on days today, I sometimes feel like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone.I walk into the White House and it's very quiet and no one's there and it takes me a second to realize exactly what's going on.But we've got a very big announcement today, actually a number of big announcements.

So J .D.wasn't there, and so, you know, why isn't J .D.there?Why is he taking Rubio?

Why is Rubio, you know, negotiating?J .D.'s not going.That was the reason.In this specific moment, it's not like one side or the other.Is there anything else, Rob, with China that we got to address before we get into the next story?

China or Taiwan?It was one funny clip, Pat, that we didn't play.He goes, how'd you feel meeting him on Hannity?And he goes, he's very tall for a Chinese man.He was like, I'm dead serious.Rob, can you play it?

But he goes, he's very tall, central casting.He had to, he had to say, because he is tall, Pat.

Yeah, he's a giant.You look for a leader of China to play a role in a movie?Central casting.He's central casting.You couldn't find a guy like him.Even his physical features, you know, he's tall, very tall.

And especially for this country, they tend to be a little bit shorter.You look at the military, I mean, the military today was incredible.

That military marching was incredible.If you went to Hollywood, He's saying he's tall.He's a big guy.That's not common.Who was the tallest Chinese basketball player that they had?

Yao Ming.Yeah, Yao Ming was 7 '4".The story of Yao Ming.is two of the tallest parents, I think Yao Ming was 7 '4".Can you type in Yao Ming, watch him be 7 '6"? You might be right. I think Yao Ming was 7 '4", but let's just check.Yao, Yao, 7 '6". You know basketball more than me, Pat. What do I know? This one you got. Okay, now do Muro -san and Manute Bull. George Muro, that's 7 '7".

You don't like when I tell stories.I've got a great...

Murison, some reports a 7 '8". Go ahead, George Murison. George Murison. How tall was George Murison? George Murison was not in Yale. Murison. Okay, go ahead. Go ahead with high. George Murison was 7 '7".Oh my God, that was...Murison.7 '7".Guaranteed.Do me a favor.

Ask the question on chat, GBT.Can you do me a favor?Ask the question on chat, GBT.

I don't want to have to.

Manute Boal was what?How tall was Manute Boal?

7 '7 as well sir.

Manute Boal was 7 '7.

Maybe 7 '6.

I thought he was 7 '6.I got drunk with Manute Boal.Why not Boal?7 '7.7 '7, yeah.Tom, so going back.

I'm sorry Pat.You're so funny.Yao Meng being the fact that he's 7 '4, the internet got it wrong.Yao Ming, you know the story with who his parents were?

No.

Two of the best athletes in China, they said, you guys got to make a baby together.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.Like an arranged marriage?

Go type in Yao Ming's parents.Yao Ming's parents.are 6 '3 and 6 '7.They're like, you, you, make a baby.And they made Yao Ming.

By the way, they had a one -child policy.They knocked it out of the park.

Wow, that's crazy.And they did three children because of the height.Like, they counted Yao Ming as three kids.You know in population, he counts as three people in the population because of the height.But anyways, let's continue.So going back to this, so look.

So there was like four or five inappropriate jokes made that I think four of them they missed which is good.We'll skip to the next part.Let's go to the next story that we have.So this is the part about the 500 ,000 Chinese students in US universities.Rob, if you want to play this clip.Tom, I'm going to come to you on this one first because I know you're a big fan of this.

Go ahead, Rob.

It's 500 ,000 students.They come, good students.I could tell themI don't want any students is a very insulting thing to say to a country.They would then immediately go out and start building universities all over China.But if you don't have those students, good students, by the way, if you don't, and we do another thing, you know, if they're good, they want to stay in America, we won't give them a green card and things like that.

You know, and that's not only them, but other other countries.But If you want to see a university system die, take a half a million people out of it.It's five.

So, but, but Pat, the same token, like, okay, like again, I don't, I'm not going to, I know everything I was in any of these meetings, obviously, but you can't on one hand say they spy on us and we spy on them.If you don't think the CCP is talking to every single one of those students and maybe let's just say conservatively, Tom, ready for, Hey, numbers talk.Are you ready, Tom?Out of 500 ,000, let's say.5 % are spies or 5 % are, what is that?

Uh, a 500 ,000 command.How many are spies?Probably 501 ,000.

So five.No, I'm asking you the number.It's a 2 ,500.2 ,500.Yeah.

2 ,500 that we don't trust and then on the same and then the 25 ,000 25 ,000 25 ,000 students that could potentially could be spies and then you're gonna say well they're probably good students no you I'm sorry Pat you can't trust them are we sending our students because this goes to the story of Arcadia Rob if you want to go to it a mayor in Arcadia who did all her campaigns in Chinese and then eventually she comes out and she says what um I'm a spy check this is this the one Rob the Emil Eileen Wang go ahead Rob of the

a plea deal after the FBI says she admitted to secretly serving the interests of the Chinese government.

Carlos Sancedo live in Arcadia for us tonight, Carlos.It looks like a real -life incident.

Michael Scherer, the city of Arcadia is without a mayor tonight after Aileen Wang stepped down following these federal charges.Now she's accused of acting as a foreign agent for the Chinese government and tonight the Trump administration is weighing in.I'm And this is allegedly, Eric Swalwell wanted to spy on her.

Really?Because that's his type, and you couldn't do it.But the point is, so this is the part, it's a real issue that a lot of Americans are worried saying, hey, wait a minute, I thought it's America first.I thought it's about us first, and it's like, no, it's really the education, and Humberto made a very good point about, you know, you come here, you learn the system, and then you take the stuff back, and you're doing what you're doing over there.No.And so, and then also at the same time, it's like, if the U .

S.educational system is not performing, and it's losing, and it's going in a direction where we're seeing what results it is, well, maybe some of them got to go out of business.This is 500 ,000 customers you're bringing to some of the guys.So that's the criticism of the educational system.Rob, you're so funny.You pull up this clip right now to go to it.

But yeah, I'm already laughing playing this.This is, by the way, this is our current educational system on how well our students read in some of the markets.Where is this, Rob?Philadelphia.This is Philadelphia.

Go ahead, Rob.

She wore a suit.Clothes that were...

Are you serious?

Who's this for?Extraordinary but somewhat...Gertrude?

No, explain what that means.I don't know.She wore a... of clothes that were...Extraordinary, whatever, bro.But somewhat...

What does that mean?

She wore a lot...Wait, she wore...I don't know, bro.Can you take the card back, please?She wore a...Oh, baby.

You wear a silhouette of clothes that were...

Is this a joke?No, no.This is a hard time saying silhouette.

She wore a silhouette of clothes that were...Go to the...

Is there a last one, Rob?Is there something at the end?Oh, this is the one that he gets.Keep going, Rob.Keep going, Rob.

All right.Now, what does that mean?

I have no idea.

Yeah.This is the one.

I don't know what this shit's saying.I don't know what this shit's saying.

By the way, we're laughing at these kids, but what's funny is that it's not even funny, it's our educational system is letting down these kids.Standards, you don't know how to say the word silhouette.Now listen, when I first came to the States, I didn't know how to say Wedding's Day.Because we would watch a show called Gilligan's Island.

Yes.

I don't know if you guys remember Gilligan's Island, right?You would eat lasagna.Yeah, lasagna, right?We didn't know how to, I didn't know how to, but I was fresh off the boat.You know, we just got off, I swam across and it was like, we came and we went to school.It was a different scenario.

If you were born and raised here, And you have a hard time with some of these words?Our educational, you know, system's got a bit of a fixing to do.So Tom, let me ask you, is Jensen Wang celebrating right now after coming back from China?Who's the biggest winner?Who are the biggest losers coming back from China?

So I think, I think the biggest winneris still in China.And it's those companies that now are going to be able to buy more powerful chips.And Jensen may be a winner.Let's go take a look today.See what the market thinks on the, on the, on the flat back.

Oh, down 10 bucks.So they gave back the gain that they had yesterday.Wow.That's interesting.Okay.Right?

So they march up the mountain, they march down the mountain.That's interesting.Look at that.You know up a day ago 10 bucks and now down so winners and losers Are there any clear winners and losers with this?I think nvidia is a clear winner I think all those companies in china that got the more powerful chips are clear winners Um, I think citibank is a clear winner.They've wanted to be To have a you know kind of the equivalent of ria for wealthy chinese over there now they get that opportunity So I think that was a clear winner and i'm going to wait and see if there's any other trade deals that get announced But those, I think, are the clear winners right now.

And what's also very interesting, how many times does Scott Besant say he's been engaged and over there and talking to people?Nine times, right?Did you know that that was one cabinet member we've had talk nine times?I went back and looked it up.And apparently under Biden, it wasn't till 23 or 24, right before the election, where Lloyd Austin went over there, John Kerry went over there.But they only had like six visits among four Cabinet members.

So this is Trump.Also, I think there is a winner You're gonna think this is odd But I think it's a winner for the dialogue that there is a dialogue that is happening with China and it's active We may not like everything that's coming out of it I know I don't but I think the winner is that we're talking because when people talk usually Temperature of certain things goes down and other things tend to get done.So for that respect, I think it's a winner that we're talkingnot yelling at each other across media from half a world away.

Yeah.

Adam, your thoughts?

I think United States is the big winner because we are the big winner.I agree with Tom's point.They use some term when they when they left the meeting, they said the whole point of this is to have a constructive strategic stability.You know, I said, I think the United States should replace peace through strength, through stability, through strength, because we're not going to have peace with all our enemies.We're not going to have peace with Iran necessarily, or necessarily not be competitors or rivals with China, but we can speak.The last time the United States had a country that was coming for the number one spot for the hegemony was the USSR.

Now, if you compare what's going on with China, versus the USSR in the 80s, 70s and 80s.It's not even close.Why?We weren't even speaking with Russia at the time, right?The Cold War.We saw the movie with Reagan and Dennis Quaid.

We had no business relationship with the USSR.It was complete capitalism on one side of the world and communism on the other side of the world.The state of the world these days is we actually have a relationship with them.They describe it as potential strategic stability type relationship.The reality is this.We use them for certain things.

They use us for certain things, but they're never going to beat us.And this is why they have to lie, cheat and steal and have fake mayors spying on all of us because China's never going to beat America if all things are considered equal.

Yeah.Now, while we're talking about this, you know, and we're kind of going through what's going on here in the conversations that people are having, um, JD and Rubio's like, Hey, who's going to be the VP?And, There is a moment here where Trump jokes with J .D.Vance about assassination attempt as he touts, support for his 2028 successor, and then Vance jokes again.You got to see this This is purely made for TV.

Go ahead Rob I want to thank also a friend of mine Secret Service director Sean Curran.I see you back there Sean Thank you very much.And I thought you did a great job two weeks ago.You know, why because I'm here, okay We consider being here a success and I tell you what your people are all over the place, you know, I got a little They no matter how no matter how well you do, they're going to find fault.But I I will be the one to find fault if I think there was fault.They had great professional people and they came out.

And within seconds, I saw them take J .D.by the shoulders and lift him up like he was a little boy.They said, how come they didn't lift me up so fast?They lifted J .D.

, got ripped out of the chair.That was a that was a view of the week.But they did the job.Right.

I think so.Well, J .D.comes out and he says the following about who's going to be the president in 2028.This is what he had to say.

Go ahead, Rob.Us, who are bringing this up, a couple of days ago, Trump made this statement to people in the Rose Garden.Why do you think he does that?Do you think it's a little bit of toying with you both over your succession?

Why do you think he brings that up, just number one?

a year out, a year out, then it's going to be they're going to have to be going after each other.It's inevitable.And I think the split is going to be, depending on the Iran war, Rubio is gonna be the you know, the the Republicans choice, you know strength war and all that stuff and JD and remember remember building up time He was in those meetings and the president said he was I quote less Enthusiastic about the war and all that stuff and then all this joking and stuff that is gonna be a one day You're gonna see boom shots fired.No pun intended It's gonna be going after his throat going after his throat and then the whole movement is gonna split and And it's going to be the people's choice.And I don't see a real outsider.Whoever the outsider is going to be, it's whoever the money is going to be put in, Pat.

Because you know, we did the stat of however, whoever has the most money, what was the percentage, Robby?Do you remember?Wins the election or wins the nomination.So I think it's a little too early, but depending on the Iran war goes, I think it's going to be neck and neck.

Yeah.Let's go to next story.Tom, next story I'm going to go into is This story about what happened in Cuba, where Cuba's got some interesting thing going on there.A story comes out about U .S.take steps to indict former Cuban leader Raul Castro because of what happened with, you know, him over the 1996 plane shoot down.

If you want to go a little bit lower.There was a humanitarian plane that allegedly was going down there, possible charges related to a 30 -year -old case that involved Cuban government shooting down two planes operated by a humanitarian group in 1996.Sources said any indictment would have to be issued by a grand jury after being presented with evidence.in the case, news that the United States was looking to indict Castro came hours after CIA Director Ratcliffe led a delegation to Havana on May 14 to deliver a message from the president to Cuban officials and Raul Guillermo Rodriguez Castro, who's the elder Castro's grandson, if you want to go a little bit lower, the potential indictment for the Cuban leader Raul Castro, now 94, and the charges were reported by CBS News.I mean, this administration likes to go after people above 85 years old.These guys are like targeting the elderly.

Well, they don't run fast.They don't run fast.The 1996, that was funny, the 1996 shoot down of two civilian planes operated by the Exile Group brothers.to the rescue remains one of the most politically charged episodes in modern U .S.-Cuba relations and one in which the U .

S.officials are pressing.You know what it almost feels like, Tom?It almost feels like they're sitting there and you know how we sit in a room and we'll say, okay, how do we take over Cuba?Step number one, this is one way.Number two, number one is by force.

Number two is by getting the people to revolt.Number three is prevent oil from going there.Number four is regime change regime change number five is let's go arrest Raul Castro Okay, I almost feel like they sit in a room and have these things that they write with their phones being out What is that the what's the room that they're making all the big decisions situation room situation room and lawyers say well We can go and use a grand jury to go after this and then we go and do this What is the likelihood that you think things like this are taking place in the situation room?

I think that's like 85 % likely in my book.I think they're looking at it and they're saying exactly what you say.And one of the things is, hey, you know what?We need the public sentiment.We can't be looking like a bully and everything.Hey, wait a minute.

What about the humanitarian airplane that came down?What about that?We'll put that out there.We'll get that there.And you know what?We could be strangling them for energy.

And then we'll make sure the media, who do we have in the media?CBS.Call CBS.We know her.She'll help us.Great.

And so I think there's a lot of PR that goes into it, Pat.And I think there's a lot of story that they push for coverage on.I mean, it is true right now that the situation in Cuba, factually, getting away from any jokes or humor, it's bad.There's a humanitarian situation that's getting worse in Cuba.It's deteriorating.They're running out of fuel reserves.

They have generators that run the water pumping plants, Pat.They're low on not only electricity, because if there's a blackout, then the power doesn't come to the water pumping plant.But if they also are a shortage of fuel, they can't run the backup generators at the water pumping plant, which means no water.So there's water shortages, there's power blackouts, and they, in the middle, in the middle of the trip to China, you know who they sent to Cuba?John Ratcliffe.The CIA, you know, and what is he going to do, Vinny?

Well, guys, have you had enough?What is the CIA?CIA is not on humanitarian mission.Hey, I got all this food for you.No, no, that's UNICEF.That's a Red Cross.

I'd like to know if you've had enough.And I think that that's what's going on down there.And I think the Situation Room, you characterize it well.There's multiple levels to going after this, and you need to have public opinion.You need to have public awareness that Cuba is down on you know, not treating its own people well.I think it all comes together as a package that gives you the excuse to say, okay, we did the Uber from Maduro, load them up and let's go change it.

That's a good point.And Rob, if you want to pull up the Radcliffe picture that he's sitting there in Cuba, by the way, this just happened either yesterday oror the day before.Everybody's focused on China.

Correct.

But they're in Cuba doing these meetings.They're in Cuba having these negotiations.So again, this is so impressive for them.They are hitting multiple different projects simultaneously at the same time.I'll send it to you, Rob.Adam, your thoughts on this with Cuba?

I would love to see Cuba be freed.I mean, they've been irrelevant.What's that?

No, I'm just showing a picture.That's that's the meeting that they're having.

Yeah, you would like to see Cuba be free Yeah, I mean look Cuba has been an irrelevant country since the USSR fell.They've been a communist outpost That's basically, you know, we know about the Bay of Pigs invasion.We know about JFK.We know about the Cold War But since the USSR fell they've aligned with the communists that are basically in the Western Hemisphere the Venezuelans of the world But since Trump took out Maduro and implemented his Don Roe doctrine, as you like to call it.Cuba's been relegated to an island that makes cigars, that's 90 miles off the coast of Florida, and just basically subjugates their people, and they have an economy that's crumbling, because now they don't get oil from Venezuela.You ask the average American what they think about Cuba, they're like, it's so irrelevant to me.

But it means the world to us.people in Miami and certain people in Florida.I'll give you one shining light.It's always interesting when I see, you know, enemy countries that love America.You know, they said that when USSR fell, it wasn't because of any shots were fired.It was because of our culture took over the USSR.

They wanted to drive American cars.They wanted to buy blue jeans.And I'll tell you this, you know, some of the most common names that come out of Cuba, They all start with US.You ever heard this Pat?Tell me.So because of our ships that out there that say US Navy.

Navy, there's so many Cubans that are called USNAVI, U -S -N -A -V -I, USNAVI.

This is a true story, brother.

This is true.There's another thousands of people named USNAVI, U .S.male.There's tons of people that are called, women that are called USLADY because you're a U .S.

lady.

They look at - He's being dead serious, by the way.I actually looked it up because I didn't believe him.

They look at America off their coast.They have nothing going on.They're sailing rafts.

No, no, no.He's dead serious.Pull up US NAVI.No, no.Just put it together, Rob.Put it all together.

Come on, Rob.I mean, you're looking at images.Is this because comedian told a sketch on this and you guys know?There's ships that sail across the ocean while they're trying to build rafts.We have these massive Navy ships and Cubans look at America like, oh my God, look at the power.They're in awe.

Look at the prestige.Look at the awe.And they name their kids after our boats.U .S.Navy, U .

S.Mail, U .S.Lady, because they have nothing going on.There it is right there.So talk about our perceived enemies who want nothing more to be American.

Respect to mi gente in Cuba.Guys, I'm shell shocked right now.Yeah, there we go.Just so you know.Because I thought I gave a creative name to our daughter Sena.No.

Named after Arte Sena's last name.

That's a great name.But to say Yosnavi.Yosnavi.It's a Yosnavi.It's not a bad name Vinny.I actually like it.

Yosnavi.Yeah, Yosnavi.Can we get Yosnavi?The part about Cuba, for whatever reason, it'd be a beautiful story.Because Cuba and Iran, it was the same time, you know, with Jimmy Carter.with the whole Muriel Bolt lift that happened and Iran.

We are demanding the right to have electricity.We have gone more than 40 hours without electricity.I live in a community where there are many elderly people, many of them bedridden, but there are many children.The food is going bad inside the refrigerators, the little food that can be obtained.The country's situation is well known, and well, it gave us the motivation to come out to see if even by banging a pot, they will give us at least 30 hours of electricity.

Good for them good for them if we're able to build these guys out and get them to be free It'll be a place.

It's a beautiful place to get a lot of Tourism tourism could be a big business for them if they're able to free this well They get a lot of tourism around the world just not the United States because of our blockade on our embargo But you know in Miami I can't tell you how many times I've heard pots and pans in the streets like when Fidel died it when Fidel Castro died was arguably the greatest day I've ever seen in Miami history.I don't know if you can find any of these clips.The pots, the pans, the spatulas, everything out there, they were going insane when their communist leader died.How many more examples do we need to see of communism and Marxism failing?

I say we try one more time.

Let's do it in New York.It's not like the Islamism that they're doing right there isn't working perfectly.50 ,000 times is the charm.

And by the way, if they could get this turned around, well, most people don't realize that the ground in Cubaincredibly fertile.They could be a major, major, major, major Western Hemisphere supplier of sugar, coffee and tobacco, number one.They also have massive mineral.There's this one part of Cuba that, whatever it is, it comes out of the bottom of the ocean, fills into these mountains, and it's full of cobalt and nickel, more than almost 92 % of the rest of the world.So they could have that.

They could be self -sufficient.It would take 10 years, but they could have a working, partly industrial, partly agricultural economy, Bolstered by tourism Cuba could work.It's but it just needs the leadership more importantly needs to be free But right now it's a humanitarian crisis and I hope that can we help them?Make up their mind about shifting Pat and just get enough energy to run the water pumps because without the water pumps running They can't flush the toilets and they can't have drinking water that one move getting those pumps running so they could have running water that just breaks my heart because you've got infants and you've got The people that are there that are just in this room.

Well, this is it.This is it.Crowd celebrating with Del Castro died.Rob, play it.

At least four to five hours a crowd believed to be at least a thousand people or more Stood here in celebration.This is the part.

This is the part This is the part where you you realize some people go back and remember where they were born And they want to see that place be free again, and I relate to this I understand the Cuban people that are going through this.Let me get to the next story next I want to get to is Let's go a complete different direction next.I want to get into the story about, I'll go to this one here, UK rap.What a weird story, folks.What a weird, disturbing story.So if you're driving, if you're a truck driver driving and you're watching this, it's a disturbing story.

If you're a mother right now driving to the shop or maybe you're watching this on a podcast,at work, and you're sitting down and doing your thing, listen to this weird story.Sikh man stabbed 18 -year -old university student to death with an 8 -inch ceremonial knife after claiming he'd been racially abused.Court here.So now if you look at this main tagline, you're like, okay, maybe he was saying something.But watch what happens here.

University student died after being repeatedly stabbed by a man.Armed with a Sikh ceremonial sword, finance student Henry Nowak, 18 years old, was on his way home from a night out when he was allegedly attacked by stranger Vikram Digwa, 23 years old, with an 8 -inch Shastar blade.Digwa was caught on camera saying, I am a bad man.Before the fatal attack, jurors were told, Rob, can you go a little bit lower?And he continues, he is now on trial, accused of murder alongside with his mother.Fifty -three was accused of assisting an offender.

Prosecutor said she went on the scene before running home with a knife to stash it among an arsenal of weapons there.They both denied the charges.Southampton Crown Court heard Mr. Nowak was in the first term of study in accountancy and finance at Southampton University when he went for a night out in the city on December 3rd, 2023 with friends.The teenager went home at around 11 p .m.and having drunk less than the legal to drive.

Juror were told he was speaking to friends on Snapchat when he was dug across Digwa, when he came across Digwa after he was stabbed.Mr. Nowak tried to climb a fence to escape, but Digwa was aggressively pursuing him, leaving a trail of blood.The cordoned police were called to the scene, but arrested Mr. Nowak.After Digua claimed he had been racially abused, Mr. Nowak was in handcuffs before passing out and dying in the street a short time later.Prosecutor Nicholas Lundenberg, KC, said, put simply, Henry drowned in his own blood with his lung having been cut by the knife going eight centimeters into him.Digua raises the defense of self -defense.

He persisted that Henry perpetrateda drunken racist attack.He says that he doesn't recall exactly how the fatal wound came to be inflicted.If you want to go a little bit lower, that's the student.Okay, that died.Go a little bit lower, Rob.

Is there any more in the opening capture?I don't know if it was captured.It was a moment he met Digwad was carrying an extremely large knife at a half past midnight.Nowak was dead.Vinny when you hear a story like this, what do you think about and where was this taken where this happened?This is this is in Yeah, it's in UK, but the city is it's I mean he's going to Southampton So choose what city that's gonna be in but Pat and I saw somebody yesterday on some panel I don't it was an older clip of Bill Maher and this lady's talking to a panelist.

He's like everything you guys are talking about about England and it's all fake It's all fake news and Bill Maher was like really?Really?Look at this case.Look at this is exactly it.And the fact that you're handcuffing the person bleeding out.That should tell you everything you need to know about what's the priority to these people.

And I can't tell you how many clips I see online all the time of these soft cops when they show up at, they're always going after the white person.Like when it's this type of situation, this ma 'am, they're like, you shouldn't be saying this and you shouldn't be saying that.And mind you, it's a massive group over there that's coming after the one person.OK, it's unbelievable.It's and it's because of people like that.It's because of people like Keir Starmer and the fact that they let so many people in, just like the rape gangs, the Pakistani rape gangs, they let them all, they're like, we can't, we have to let them go because we don't want to look like we're racist.

This is unbelievable and this is why this, I'm telling you, the UK has fallen, Pat, and there's no way coming back for them.It's over.They've opened the gates and the people have come in and it's over.It's over.And as a police officer, Pat, you should know, as a police officer, you show up to the scene.You were a police officer.

I was a military police.Somebody's bleeding out.The hell with it.Call the paramedics.Get the paramedics there ASAP.And why are you, time out.

I'm bleeding out.You're gonna handcuff me.Meanwhile, the guy that did the stabbing is standing there and nothing happens to him.That's unbelievable.And I hope that they sue them.I hope that they sue the freaking government, but good luck with that.

Good luck with suing them because they don't wanna look racist or get the other guy in trouble.Unbelievable.

You know, when you, are out there with ceremonial blades and you are, in the words of people there, incapacitated in some way.He says he doesn't remember who was drunk, both were drunk.It's terrible.My opinion of this is that when you basically are poorly patrolled and do not have adequate deterrence.Instead, you have people that are defending by default, hang on, don't say anything bad about him just because he's not from around here in terms of historical England, don't say anything.When you first are doubting your own citizens, and protecting those other people.

I get that we don't want to have, you know, racial, have immigrants come to any country and be the subject of racial persecution.But when you're defending them by default and assuming that your own people are at fault, you've lost it.And England has lost it.And people are going to get on the chat and say, oh, you're not over here.You haven't been over here.No, I haven't.

But I can read and I can see and I can see Keir Starmer today saying, oh, don't protest.We want peace.Don't go out and protest.And it's just it's sick.It's sick.

You've lost you've lost the plot.Look, I don't want to overinflate this, but I know a lot of Sikh people.Do you know a lot of Sikhs?They're different from us.They're certainly different from Islamists.They actually practice something that it's almost like libertarianism.

They believe in peace first and force only if necessary.So I don't know this individual situation here.I'm not going to comment on what the kid said, and I'm not just going to defend the white kid.But I know that many Sikhs are very peaceful.I'm not going to say pacifists, but don't push them.I mean, I don't know what happened here.

So I'm not at any way, shape or form going after any certain community, certainly not the Sikh community.What I will say, there's something going on in the UK.And it seems to be systemic.When you import the third world, and a lot of them are Islamists that have come from Afghanistan or Syria or Pakistan, and you want to turn a blind eye to whatever's happening there.And then what's the whole thing with a Leslie Nielsen and the naked gun when the house is burning down Vinny.And he's like nothing to see here guys, you know, the Pakistani rape game, nothing to see here.

Hey, Tommy Robinson wants to do a rally, a rally and our friend, uh, uh, what's our Polish friend's name.Dominic, Dominic Targinski is not allowed in because of his views.When, when people are censored over or arrested, for social media posts, there's something, a slippery slope going on in the UK.And if you say something about it, you're deemed racist.To me, we're seeing what's going on in the UK and in London and in Southampton and Binghamton and all these cities right there.And it's basically saying, guys, we're probably 10 years away if we don't do something about this.

And I'll just give one last point.Thank God we have Trump, because if we had another, you know, administration that was like Biden and like Kamala, I can't even imagine what this country would look like.So thank you, President Trump, for standing up for American Western values.

You know what my main challenge is here, Adam?My main challenge with this isn't if it's a Sikh or Muslim or whatever you want to call it.My main challengeis, while the other guy is bleeding, what are you doing not going to him to attend to him just because the other guy said I'm offended?If that story is what happened and that's what's in the reports, your first job, it doesn't matter if somebody's getting, say the other guy's the killer or the other guy's the victim.If that guy just got shot and he's getting killed, you're supposed to attend to him as well to make sure he makes it.

It's not like, well, you know, he's a secondhand citizen.Let's just go to the other person.In this case, They're treating the kid that was going to school in the middle of the night, second -hand citizen, yeah, let him die out because he offended you, oh my God, we can't say anything like that.That's the part that becomes slippery slope where you have to make sure your citizens feel safe.If your citizens don't feel safe, then what happens?So now, how many parents are now saying, well, honey, like imagine if your kids, you get this report comes out and your kid's going to Southampton University.

What are you doing?What's the first thing you tell on your kid?Hey, Don't go out.Stay home.Stay on the campus.Let's take the kids out of school.

These are thoughts people shouldn't be having as you're going through this.

White kid walking home.Other kid stabs him, says whatever he said, Rob, like, I got one or whatever he says.The mother shows up, gets rid of the weapon, and they have an arsenal of weapons.That is a huge problem.Gee.Yeah, and the government can't say anything, Adam, because they know that this is the result.

These are the consequences of their policies letting all these people in, OK, for whatever reason they want, votes or whatever, or to destroy the nation because that's what they want to do.This is the George Floyd moment, like Humberto said, of their time.That's it.He's walking home.Adam, there's no words that could come out of your mouth.I know we have the builder story after too.

There's no words that could come out of your mouth right now.A stabbing, and then when the cops show up, they handcuff you and you're bleeding out.and the other kid goes hey I know I have blood on my hands because he definitely had blood on his hands that guy called me a terrorist or a muslim or islamist whatever no no there's no excuse there's no excuse and the saddest thing as pat made the point is if the government the police and everybody are like hey what happened oh you're dying he called me racist oh to hell with that guy handcuff him what this is the same this is the same nation Adam, that if you are on social media, there was a gang raping in Germany.They went into this park and they raped it.Eleven people showed up.They were texting each other, show up and let's rape this girl.

They went to court, guess who did the most jail time?A woman who found his WhatsApp and messaged him and said, hey, you're a rapist, you're a pervert.She did more time.That is the freaking government.The government is protecting these people and it's disgusting.

I think it's disgusting.I mean, look, there was a story similar to this.I want to say in an anti -Islam protest where a kid is saying some things, this guy comes to attack him.I don't know if you have this one, Rob, or not.And this happened in the States.Let me see this one here.

Where was this at?Tragic in Mannheim attack, or Mannheim attack, an Afghan attacks an anti -Islam rally.An on -site police officer rushes in.and pins to the ground an anti -islam activist the police officer is then stabbed to death in the throat by the terrorist whom he has turned his back on watch the picture go a little bit lower that's that's how he died okay of course you're blurring the whole thing out so this is this is stuff that you just got to be aware of that this doesn't show up here safety is super super critical we can't lose our common sense let me get to the next story next story i want to talk about is uh another one of these interesting stories so james comey is being asked by the interviewer, I actually thought it was a great sequencing of question, saying why did you not...a pardon?If President Trump was to give you a pardon back in 2018, would you have accepted it?

He said no.She says why?He goes on to teach her the history of pardons and what it means if you accept a pardon.Watch this here.Go ahead, Rob.

President Biden for a preemptive pardon as Trump was coming back into office?

Never.

Do you think he would have given you one if he'd asked?Did you ever think about asking President Biden for a preemptive pardon as Trump was coming back into office?

Never.

Do you think he would have given you one if he'd asked?

I don't know, I wouldn't have accepted it.The Supreme Court said in 1914 that the acceptance of a pardon is an admission of guilt.It's what consoled Gerald Ford when he pardoned Richard Nixon.He carried a quote from the case in his wallet until the day he died, because it meant Nixon had admitted guilt.And so I'm not guilty.I am innocent, so I wouldn't be accepting any pardons.

Do you think the people that Biden did preemptively pardon are guilty of pardons?

I'm just telling you what the Supreme Court said.By accepting a pardon, it's an admission of guilt.I hope they thought about it carefully.

Public health policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an emergency use authorization mRNA products being mandated by the former administration.Dr. Fauci's role in the cover -up was intentional.Dr. Fauci influenced the analytical process and findings by leveraging his position to ensure the IC consulted with a conflicted list of curated subject matter experts, public health officials, and scientists.This included some of the authors of the paper, The Proximal Origin of SARS -CoV -2.and other public health experts who have been in his orbit for the last 20 plus years.Vinny, thoughts?

I mean, so this is why Americans, and I know the majority of the people out there, Pat, that are listening, that are dealing with this, are furious, okay?And it's almost as if it was 20 years ago some people were acting like it.This was a couple years ago.Businesses shut down.People lost jobs.Careers destroyed.

Families divided.Loss of friends.Loss of family members.People dealing with all these sicknesses and all this turbo cancer and everything.Now, Pat, people are asking, why?The main question.

Why did Fauci push so hard to steer everybody away from the lab leak theory?That's the main thing, Pat.Why?Was it because the NIH funding connected the gain -of -function research ended up in Wuhan with EcoHealth Alliance that we owned?We owned that thing.It was open during Obama.

You know what I mean?Or was it because admitting the lab leak would expose the years of all the funding, the relationships, the careers, the connections.And then some people are going darker, Pat.A lot of people out there believe that this leak might have been deliberate.OK, look at the funding.Look at the pharmaceutical profits.

They made a trillion dollars on all this stuff.The speed of the vaccine rollout and then the billions made during the pandemic.And people believe that powerful people protected each other while the publicsuffered okay and then you find out that he was begging for clemency he gets a pre -emptive pardon okay and like you showed the James Comey thing it's just like what do we do Pat as the American public what do we do with someone like Fauci I'm not saying doing anything physical anything stupid like that but think about this people for the people out there that lost a mother that couldn't go even see her because of his made -up draconian laws that they made during the pandemic.Or if you're out there and you have a child that, God forbid, was playing a sport and they collapsed and their heart stopped.Or right now you have children that are suffering from myocarditis, which I did the research, they don't live that long, okay?

They don't live that long.So what do people do about this, Tom?Because it's clearly, it's blatantly obvious.These people at the top are protected at the highest level.Pre -emptive pardon.And listen, I am not a fan of Comey by the least, okay?

I know he's one of these deep state actors, all the Russia collusion and everything.He is not good for the country, but at least in this moment, he's being honest.If you're innocent, you don't need a pardon.But to beg the president for clemency and then you get the preemptive...You're a Dr. Fauci, okay?This is Chris Cuomo's buddy, his pal, okay?

The amount of destruction and death that he did pass...Something has to happen to this guy.I don't know if in the courts or find a way, because he's walking around scot -free for the rest of his life, okay?He needs to pay for all the suffering and all the pain that's happened to these people, because if the public stops paying attention to this type of stuff and we let it go, nothing's ever going to change.Ever.What's to stop them again?

What's to stop them from this hantavirus blowing up and they do the same exact thing?I'm sorry, it just drives me crazy.Tom, thoughts?

I have a couple of thoughts.Before I come to you, here's a DOJ by the way.I want to come to you because I want to go with what Vinny said on what the DOJ is thinking about doing right now.They're weighing, they're weighing new criminal case against Fauci despite Biden's auto pen pardon and statute of limitations running out.So this just, do you have a Fox News clip on this, Rob?It's quick, but here it is.

Go for it, please.

Fauci might be swimming in the same pool.One of his top guys was indicted for a COVID coverup.Now the DOJ is eyeing a new criminal case against Anthony, even though auto pen gave him a pardon.I hope you got your floaties, Doc.And this just in, a COVID -19 whistleblower, an active CIA employee, will be testifying tomorrow.

So they're already thinking about different ways of getting him.If they do or not, that James Comey clip is so beautiful and so annoying for so many people.And you know, you think when he was saying that he was thinking about Fauci?And by the way, that girl that asked the question, who do you think he's talking about?She has to know.No, who do you think Comey was talking about in that interview?

When he says, yeah, I didn't accept it because I'm not guilty.So who was the first person he was trying to make a claim that's not guilty himself?Of course.But who else is he talking about?

He's talking about Hunter because remember him, he injected himself quite a bit.I think he's thinking about a lot of people, but I think one of them he's thinking about has got to be Hunter.That was because you listened to all the leaks and everything to come out.They, even the people around Biden were like, my gosh, you know, this is such a, you know, here we go again, because Hunter wasn't political there.They couldn't do anything with him.He wasn't.

He wasn't FDA, he wasn't anything.He was this pain in the neck thing that kept generating headlines and disgust.And so I think he was thinking about people like that saying, you went all this time selling, oh, I was just a consultant for energy company.Then you took the pardon.I think there's some coding come in there because I don't think Comey was 100 % Biden.He was 100 % Comey.

Who do you think, Pat?Who do you think he was talking about?Because, I mean, the whole family was pardoned fortheir dealings.

I think it's subtle reminders to say, watch who Trump's going to pardon.Because remember, Trump said on 250 year anniversary, he's going to pardon 250 people.Do you remember when he said this?Rob, can you pull this up?I think the president, didn't he say that?I thought he said that.

Maybe he didn't say that.The president allegedly said, yeah, Trump says explores 250 pardons on America's 250 year birthday.So why is Comey saying it now?So to me, I think Comey was saying that to get ahead of the fact that the president's going to pardon 250 people and the reporter asked the question Comey was not expecting.And that's when Comey immediately, it's like, I don't know about that.All I can tell you is the fact that in 1914, this is why they did the pardon that, you know, Gerald Ford would go around in his wallet because he knew that Nixon was guilty.

So he's he's comparing Nixon to who?to Trump.And then the reporter asked the right question, even though she didn't want to ask the question.You know she didn't want to ask the question.She asked the right question.Well, how about the other people?

And then it's like, oh, I don't know about that, but I know about Trump.So I think that's kind of where he's going.So if they end up, if the presidents, if they end up finding a way to go and investigate what happened with Fauci, I cannot tell you how much the trust in the DOJ and the FBI is going to go up for finally doing their job.If you want to increase credibility and people trusting the DOJ and the FBI again, go tell us what happened during COVID, Tom.

So I think what's remarkable about all this, first of all, people that were so terribly persecuted.The doctor we had on, I just blanked on him real quick, Robert Malone.And people like Mary Talley, Mary Talley Bowden, who's in Houston, and she just wrote a book, Dangerous Misinformation.She was down there in Texas in a red state getting absolutely pilloried, you know, for herposition.So these people are able to come back in the light of day and say, I was right, first of all.

Second of all, we now, everyone knows it started in the Wuhan lab, it leaked out from there, whether it was intentional or not is chapter two.We know that all the data was manipulated now, now we know that, and we know that Fauci actually funded and at least knew, memorandums with his name on them, about gain -of -function research.So now we know all that, and then guess what?The thing that really bugs me right now is with all of that, the mainstream media is seeing this as an us versus them, and they don't want to give anybody the W. And so the mainstream media is playing the game of, well, if we knew then what we know now.It's like, no, you don't get to do that.You don't get to do that.

Because at the time, there was ample information that was out there that could have raised the seeds of doubt.Did you have perfect information?No, but you didn't have perfect information and you were slaughtering people and impugning their careers and people were getting, you know, discharged from the military, serving honorably and getting no pensions.All of this stuff happened.You had enough information to stop that from happening while saying, hey, we don't know everything, but we don't think service people should be dishonorably discharged and lose their pension over this for crying out loud.There was more than enough to know that.

And so right now, I see this, I hope for the sake of history that they find a way to persecute the guilty here.I hope they find a way to do that, Pat.That's my opinion.Because the news media just sitting there, oh, if we knew then what we knew now, I think is really disingenuous.And now we've seen all the things I just mentioned that turned out to be correct.

And it drives me crazy, Tom, when you have people like Josh Hawley and all them, they come out of these hearings.His two crimes, fraudulent concealment, he lied.He knew he was lying from the beginning and he hindered the discovery of where this came from.

He testified to Congress about it, that he did not participate in, he did not know, and he did not fund gain -of -function research.And now we know that the only thing that we're not 100 % sure of is did he know.But he funded it and his name is on memorandum.So let's say two out of three, you were involved in gain -of -function research.

Tom, for sure, and lied the entire time.one is mass negligent homicide How many people died because you lied?You're a liar.And then you promoted, knowingly pushed unsafe vaccines on people.And was in the president's ear like, hey, listen, we could do this.We could do it in less than a year.

Come on, you'll look good.And of course the president's going to listen to him.Of course you want to.

The subsequent fallout was criminally prosecutable.Yes.

And it hasn't been.And Tom, we all, oh my God, the died suddenly, the people falling and what they're discovering in Americans, about people around the world, it's disgusting.And I, Pat, can you imagine walking around and you know that your family, you've lost family members because of the lies and the decisions that this one man made.

Again, I do think this is all progress on what's happening.And Comey is the president, the assistant to the president needs to show that to the president and say, Mr. President, did you see this video?And the president will come and comment about it.and say, hey, he said this.If he's saying this, well, what are you saying with this?Because it is a form of taking a shot at the president.

President, his team's going to bring this information to him.Adam, do you have any thoughts on that?

Yeah, I'll just be real quick.I'm with Vinny on this.especially on why you're passionate about it, and I'll explain why.Because the one word that we go back to is accountability.And when there's no accountability, and you're not held responsible for your actions, if you did something wrong, then there's a collapse of trust.We know how important trust is.

Trust is a currency.And if you did something wrong, and there's no consequences to your actions, and there's no justice, and there's perceived or actual abuse of power, and you get away with doing something wrong, what's going to happen is this.people are going to get really freaking frustrated.Like you are.I am.And I understand your frustration.

And again, I'm not saying that he did or didn't do anything wrong.Either one of them.He did.He's a felony to lie in Congress and he lied.I'm with you.I'm just saying in general, why some, why people, why you, why us?

or upset is for that lack of accountability.When you think someone did something wrong and it's so blatant out in the open and you're like, are you kidding me?It drives you crazy.And I understand that.I empathize with you on that.

All right, let me get to the next story.Next story I want to get to has to do with a movie that's coming out called Odyssey.I don't know if you guys have been seeing this or not.So this movie Odyssey that's coming out, And if you go to the cast, the criticism that he got, it even got the attention of Elon Musk, that's like, what the hell are these guys doing?Go a little bit lower, Rob, to the cast, to see who's in it.How stacked this is.

Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong 'o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, Jon Bernthal, the great Jon Bernthal, and then you have Elliot Page, right?And Rob, the critics, and by the way, John Leguizamo, I mean, it's kind of like, it's loaded with the people that are in this flick, loaded.And biggest criticism came, what is this story really all about?Tom, what's the Odyssey about?The movie?What they made it about?

No, no, what is the original story of the Odyssey?What area of the world?It's about the emergence in Greece.Okay, can you imagine you make a movie about the emergence of Greece and not a single person you cast is Greek?Well, wait a minute, what are we talking about here?So what's more important on who to cast?

Then, on top of that, Rob, who is allegedly going to be playing...Can you go to it?Who is playing, is that the Elliot Page one?

There's rumors that she's going to play, well he, she, whatever is happening in her, his life is going to play Achilles.Elliot Page is going to play Achilles?Elliot Page, there's rumors that she, he is going to play Achilles.Achilles.

Who played Achilles in Troy?Brad Pitt.How did Achilles look?How did Brad Pitt look in Troy?

Like a freaking warrior.Can you put that up?Some men question their sexuality, Patrick.That's right.

I converted to that guy.One year after that movie.Look at this.That's Brad Pitt.Does he look like somebody you would depict as being Troy?Be an Achilles.

Yes.Of course.Okay.Now can you go to the other fellow or girl or you know?Whatever's happening.Liquid, whatever you call it, all this stuff.

Oh my God.So this is who's supposed to play.That's who's supposed to play.

She's got great abs.

Yeah.And then Elon Musk commented on this.Rob, what did Elon Musk say about this in this movie?What was Elon's comments on the bottom?Look at this.Why is Christopher Nolan, like many other directors, so keen to race swap white characters?

Quotas and rewards, right?And if you look at the right there, 2024, yes, starting with the 96 Academy Awards, there's a mandatory diversity requirement for films to be eligible for best picture category.Films must meet two of four new representation and inclusion standards covering on -screen representation, creative leadership, industry, actress or audience development.Elon Musk on the bottom, he wants awards.He wants the awards and that's it.So when you see this, where do you go with this?

Adam?

Look, you know, I'm the least movie guy.It's funny that you're coming to me now, but this whole revisionist history of the little mermaids, now black and snow white, white, black to say is now what next thing you know, they're going to cast MLK and Matt Damon's going to be playing MLK.This revisionist history of actual, uh, White people, listen, you want to move the needle a little bit.You want to be controversial.You want to shake things up.That's cool.

But when you're as, as what did Elon Musk say?Uh, you're, you're, uh, what did he say about white people was the term he used exactly race swapping, race swapping.It just becomes like at some point.And look, I'm not the guy that's going to go crazy by movies at some point.We're like, okay.

So all the Greek people, Brad Pitt.Can you ask the question, will anybody go watch this movie?Just ask, will you go watch the movie?Let's see what the audience is going to say.I think, I think 10 to 20 % will go watch the movie.

Well, I think the cast is ridiculous and much like anything you want to do something like, By the way, find out what other movies Chris Nolan has done.Nolan is a legend.Nolan is loaded.You're coming after me because I want to find out the movies.He's done some incredible movies, but he's shifting with the times.He's basically saying, oh, I need a trans person in order to win an award.

Let's get a trans person.I think what people are upset about is that you're replacing freaking Brad Pitt.

88 % said they'll go watch the movie.12 % said no and in the comment section a bunch of people said hell nah.88 % said they will not go watch the movie.

By the way is this some AI of Ellen Page being Brad Pitt here?Did you see this?Is this AI?This is AI.Is there a video?

How bad is it inappropriate?

She's gonna get slaughtered right now.

Can we even play this?

If it's AI, I think we're okay.

Well, this guy's not AI.

I remember this scene.I remember this scene.He comes running at him.Come on, Elliot.You got this.He goes right past his head.

Oh, man.There it is.Directed by Michael Bay.But you remember that scene in the movie with Brad Pitt?

He broke his, you know, do you know a fun fact?In that scene where Brad Pitt jumps and stabs that guy in the neck, he breaks his ankle and they have to stop shooting for months.Brad Pitt broke his ankle?Google about that scene.You're telling me that Brad Pitt broke, actual, he tore his Achilles, are you kidding me?Actually broke, breaks his ankle in that scene.

Uh, and Rob, yeah, Rob.I think that's why people are upset is because you're going to replace Brad Pitt with this little boy girl.

Yeah, while filming Brad Pitt injured his Achilles tendon.

I'm sorry.Not his ankle, his Achilles tendon.That's when life imitates art.Are you going to go see this movie?You're going to see this movie, Ben?

I'll watch it when it comes out on Netflix.But you're going to walk out when Ellen Page comes out.Yeah.But here's my thing.He's getting hammered because he casted Lupita Nyong 'o as Helen of Troy.OK?

And what they're saying is he wants to, like, Christopher Nolan is one of my favorites.He's in the top five of all time.But they're bringing up, and I'm happy you brought up that tweet, Pat.the academy's diversity requirements.For best picture, you have to have, you know, standards of, you know, certain races, gender, sexuality, disability, underrepresented groups.It's like, leave it historically alone.

Okay.And let's just be clear.I think Lupita Pat, she's a beautiful human being.Okay.She's talented.She's a great actress.

Okay.The issue is accuracy.If Hollywood casted Ryan Gosling as Shaka Zulu, They would burn down the studio before the trailer even aired, but when it happens toGreek and European figures, suddenly the accuracy becomes problematic.And can we show, Pat, Sonny Hostin, which from The View, who by the way, just a little backstory, you guys remember, she found out last year that she is a descendant of slave owners.Just let me just remind everybody that.

Look at how she's defending by casting Lupita and she brings up Black Athena a book and says that Helena Troy could have been black.

Go ahead Rob This idea was also explored in a book called Black Athena I think people should read it which argues that classical Greek culture is heavily indebted to Afro -Asiatic and near eastern roots I actually taught Greek mythology to eighth graders and so I covered this so people that are saying that Helen of Troy could not possibly be played by a black woman don't know history.

By the way, those eighth graders that she taught are probably adults now and they're walking around thinking Medusa was a Puerto Rican and worked at a nail salon in the Bronx.They're gone.

And she's here on The View still spewing mythology.And here's the thing.So I want to say something about Christopher Nolan.Pat and I, one of the most favorite movies that we've seen.We love Historic World of Doc, but 10 years ago we saw Dunkirk.And Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan cast, People that look like British people people that look like Germans people that look like the French Dunkirk was brilliantly done up the storylines that were threaded through it.

It was magnificent 2017 now here we are 2026 almost 2027 and look what he had to do.He willingly did it and Christopher if you're listening, come on, man You know you you just went with the program that to be in line to get Academy Awards.You had to check these boxes And so that's what you did to make your movie.And by the way, that man.been what the studio or the distributor said, hey, make sure you do these things because we want to get the Academy Award and we want to get this too, so Chris, the movie's got to be like this.So unless he's a private billionaire funding it all on his own, this is what it is.

But what kills me is the fact that, look at those two things, Dunkirk, a historical book, and this is about Odyssey about the guy goes on the 10 -year journey the emergence of Greek after the Trojan War and his wife and the kid have to fight that out of all the stories.

This is the one that was gonna piss Tom off.

Piss Tom off.I would have never guessed that.

Because you know, they were erasing white people, erasing white men.

That's not it.If you're gonna make it, if you're gonna make historical thematic.This is serious stuff, Tom.

I mean, if Ellen Page plays Tom Ellsworth in the movie, we're gonna have a major problem.

And if you think about it, Helen of Troy was a Greek figure from Where Tom?Sparta.Troy.The Sparta, described by Greek writers as the idea of Greek beauty.And by the way, for Sunny Haasen, ancient, she's a freaking Greek mythology major, ancient Greek art and literature consistently portrayed noble Greek women with fair skin, Mediterranean, European features, and often lighter hair.Okay, I taught 8th graders.

Stop.

You said all these things.Let's move on to a fun fact story which ended up bad.This is one of the most interesting things in the history of movies for me.You know the movie Gladiator?One of my favorites.Okay, you know the guy Oliver Reed who played Proximo?

I love him.You know who he is?One of the best.

Do you know what happened to him?

His mentor.

Do you know what happened to him?

No.

Do you know the story?Seriously, you guys don't know what happened to him?No.It's such an interesting...So Oliver Reed, one of the greatest actors of all time, plays Proximo in Gladiator.Go to the picture, Rob, of him playing Proximo.

Great actor.While they were shooting the movie, the movie is not done yet, he goes to a local pub, he competesthese Brits to see who can drink more, he ends up beating them, but dies trying to beat them.

No way, he died?

Like alcohol poisoning?

No!Alcohol poisoning?

The guy drank so much, ends up having a heart attack, and he dies, and the movie that was being made, this was pre -all the scenes being shot, the producer had to go back, Ridley Scott, the director, had to go back and use CGI to have the movie be done, the story of Oliver Reed.By the way, how phenomenal of a job did he do in this movie?

I want everybody out there to go on YouTube and find the scene when he's talking to Russell Crowe and he's like, when you get to the car and there's screams, it's like a storm.He is such a phenomenal actor.Win the crowd, win your freedom.

Marcus Aurelius, touch me.

Oh, you knew Marcus Aurelius.I didn't say that.Yeah, I said he touched me on the shoulder once.Look at what he drank, guys.He challenged a group of sailors, downed eight pints of beer, 12 shots of rum, half a bottle of whiskey, and shots of cognac.That's like Tom's Friday night.

But listen, shortly after, he collapsed.I don't drink cognac.Everything else is active.

Pretty interesting.Listen, he allegedly had drinking issues his entire life, but this happened in Malta.

Wow.

And if there was one guy that you, and by the way, what's interesting, No one talked about it publicly.It's like, you didn't know this story.How many times have you seen Gladiator?A hundred times.Opening scene.

Well, number one, this is tragic.And I mean, it's been such a long time.I think we can make an inappropriate joke.He tried to, he tried to win the crowd.He lost his freedom.I mean, you're not doing that unless you're trying to look cool.

And that's why you're not a comedian also.And we're all amateur comedians.All of us on this thing, there's only one person here that's a comedian that gets paid for work.Tom Ellsworth.And that's Vincent Oceano, okay?The rest of us are all - Rob gets paid too!

Rob's a comedian.Rob is a comedian.Listen, in the house, when you become a father and you have kids and you tell jokes, there's not a worse crowd than your kids.If you can make your kids laugh, you're winning.Tom knows how to make my kids laugh.When Tom tells jokes, his daughters are like, dad, I've heard that 1 ,700 times.

Let's go to the next story.Let's go to the next story.Then there's such thing as, I'm trying to say, do I go into this or not?Let's go into the snake.Let's talk about, man, it's like everybody's taking shots at Daily Wire.It's like every other day, it's a new story.

And Tom, you circled that you wanted to talk about this.And Vinny, I know you got a lot of thoughts on this.And Adam, you too.Why Ben Shapiro's media empire is collapsing, okay?So now, to be fair, this is from who, Rob?This is from New York?

New York Magazine.It's fair to say that they are not fans of Ben Weir, Ben Shapiro, and the Daily Wire.So let's read what's in this here and what they're talking about.There was a time not long ago that Ben Shapiro could reasonably call himself the king of all conservative media.Shapiro himself was ubiquitous, a right -wing star who had risen to fame before Donald Trump and seamlessly adopted the MAGA takeover of Republicans.He was a digital battering ram against the Democrats and the progressive left.

That's all over the Daily Wire's instituting significant layoffs.It's website, okay, we read that already.There are Daily Wire YouTube videos now that are fewer views.few days online and have less than 10 ,000 views, a catastrophically small number for a channel with more than 3 million subscribers, if a variety of poor business decisions can be blamed in part for Daily Wire's downfall, ill -fated investment in feature films, an epic fantasy series, a peculiar merchandise, the greater stories of the collapse of Shapiro'sconstituency.Constituency.

Silhouette.Silhouette.Among the young American consumers who once fueled the daily wire.Listen, my English is getting better daily.Shapiro, who was an Orthodox Jew, is fiercely pro -Israel.

Ben Shapiro's Jewish?Yes.

Stop it.I have no idea.Okay.So here's what they're saying about Daily Wire.And by the way, you know, sometimes when you are the best at what you do, and then you fall, they love attacking you.And it's just something that comes with the territory.

We all remember all the videos.Every video would go out.This is how the titles of Ben Shapiro's videos were.You ready?Ben Shapiro destroys.If you type in Ben Shapiro destroys on YouTube, how many videos will you see?

God knows how many videos are going to say Ben Shapiro destroys, Ben Shapiro destroys.So, Tom, is there a complete, I have one thought that I want to share with this, but what are your thoughts on what's happening with these guys and can they recover?

Well, first of all, New York Magazine needs to write about something.And to go after a conservative, that's at the top of the list at their editorial meeting when they hand out their assignments and what people are going to do.So you don't get surprised by this, that there's conservative media.If those two words are connected to you in some way, New York Magazine and the liberal fish wrap that it is are going to come after you.OK, great.Well, what's going on here is they're attempting to make what I, which got a little triggered in the, in the story was in the midst of this, you know, recycle of, yeah.

Okay.You know, daily wires had allegedly some subscriber issues and are laying off some people that's been well covered.And then in the middle of it, they say, Ooh, this could be bad news for conservative media.They are trying to get themselves all up in a cheering mode, Pat to say, could this be a sign that that we've jumped the shark.You know, the old statement about ratings on TV and media referring to when the ancient comedy series, Happy Days, where Fonzie jumps the shark, you know, and that the ratings moved and shifted after that.So they are, you know, actively hoping that this is a jump -the -shark moment for conservative media, and that the other crowd of, quote, anti -Semitic groipers led by Fuentes are seemingly in ascendance.

And Candace Owen, who worked once with Shapiro, now boasts a YouTube channel larger than his.They're actively hoping that we're all self -destructing.But what they're missing What they're missing is that liberals don't have a product worth buying, and that conservatives that are out here processing things, people are watching.And whether you're on one side or the other, and I don't deny, and it's out there to see, that there are two sides in conservative media.There is the pro -Israel ones, and there's the ones that are hard anti -Israel.And then there's people in the middle, like us, that are trying to process and trying to get people to think about things in these norms.

So that's what got me on this story, Pat, about New York Magazine, is I think what the cheering that you see in it is, is this a tipping point for all conservatives?And the answer is no, it's not.And you know what?You want to go look at the number of shows that are conservative, where they're ranked, and where you're ranked?You know, come on.This isn't what's happening.

Listen, uh, I used to be a huge fan of Ben Shapiro.If you guys recall when he was sitting in front of Piers Morgan and it was the, I forgot which school shooting and he brings out, you know, he goes, I think you're standing on the dead graves of the children.And he put the freaking constitution.Like those were moments and Piers thought looked like he was going to have a heart attack, but that was the old Ben Pat debating.going in front of like he was doing what Charlie was doing You know facts don't care about your feelings everybody that uses that quote today.It's because of Ben Ben Shapiro was a guy He was there he was fire.

He was doing it and then You know, October 7th happened, and let's just be honest with each other.This shit, it was just, if you don't agree with Israel and my thoughts, then guess what?You're an idiot.And you're dumb.And people don't like to be lectured to.And mind you, this is his audience.

This is his audience.The subscribers are dropping like crazy.Social media, everything.And then, you fire one of your biggest stars, because she disagrees with your point, and mind you, facts don't care about your feelings, and debate, and then you fire her.It's like publicly and it's ugly.And then Brett Cooper, you're number two.

She leaves and she does her own thing.And then you have people inside, you know, producers trying to create stuff.And I get that.And, you know, you have Matt Walsh and you have Michael Knowles do all their thing.And, you know, success with the documentaries and stuff.But, you know, people don't like that.

People don't like like Americans don't like to be lectured to.And then when you have your opinion or you don't agree, they're stupid.You're dumb, you don't know what you're talking about.It's unattractive, okay?And can I just say one last thing, Matt?You can always...

We talk about this how many times?Recreating yourself.We did the...The survey, there's certain points that I already know and I'm already working on it to be more clear or to do this or to do that.You have to recreate yourself.Go back to being the old Ben.

That's what people want.People like that.Maybe even, Pat, I trim my eyebrows because I'm Middle Eastern.Trim them up.Do like a sexy.I think it's because the eyebrows.

I'm telling you right now, if he does like a sexy.

The whole thing is his eyebrows.

If his eyebrows get trimmed and I know a guy that could edge him up.I'm just saying.

It's not a.That's not.You're not lying.I mean, they're very bushy.Go ahead.

Yeah.

It was some ridiculous eyebrow people in Glendale.

Oh my God.I know.I saw one guy.

No, I can refer them to.There's like a gay guy named Bijan who was great with eyebrows.Like we, there are referrals.Go ahead, Adam, your thoughts.

Well, Ben's had those eyebrows.Ben Shapiro.Uh, look, uh, as, uh, as since October 7th and since, uh, Ben defended Israel and, uh, his, uh, ratings and his favorability have plummeted.There's a direct correlation between people that defend Israel and their views, straight up.There's also a direct correlation with people that are anti -Israel, and the more they talk about Israel, their views go up, i .e.

Tucker, i .e.Candace.Now, if you ever watch Ben's show, Ben has not changed at all.You talk about reinventing yourself, Ben hasn't shifted one belief One ideology, everything he's saying today is everything that he stood for before.But I do have an idea for Ben.

I believe the Tucker ship has sailed.I don't think Tucker in a million years would sit down with Ben.I think Ben would run circles around Tucker.I think he looks at Candace as almost like a joke at this point.But here's my idea for Ben.Debate Nick Fuentes.

Because Nick's been trying to knock down your door.Nick's career has basically Ascended because of you and you you sort of alluded to this recently.I think he owes it to himself I think he owes it to the audience to give this kid that as obnoxious as you think the kid is He's talented guy Steven Crowder who have immense respect for a sat down with Nick Ventus Nick Fuentes twice I've sat down with Nick Fuentes You've sat down with Nick Fuentes now if Ben doesn't want to do it Nick debate a guy named Chavez Castlebaum Okay, because they say that he's the new Ben Shapiro and he's super talented.It seems to me Ben Shapirowhatever reason is avoiding Nick.Honestly it's probably because he thinks it's beneath him and he thinks that he's been punching down and I understand that.

But Nick...Rob is trying to find how to spell Shabbos Kesselbaum.By the way, super talented guy.But I also think Nick is avoiding Shabbos Kesselbaum.So there's a lot of people avoiding people.I think, you know, they say that disinfected is the greatest sunlight, basically get the debates out in the open.

Right now, shifting gears from, I'll just address Daily Wire.I think none of them have changed at all.Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, God, I don't know what's going on with Jordan Peterson.That whole crew, they stand for exactly what they stood for, and they have not followed the clicks and the views by going anti -Israel.By the way, Matt Walsh, I think he's Catholic.No, sorry, Michael Knowles is Catholic.

They have fierce debates amongst each other.So to act like they're some sort of unilateral, one -size -fits -all type organization would be far from the truth.But I do think You know, you say Ben needs to reinvent himself.I don't think someone like Ben reinvents himself He is who he is, you know, you said that he's not that funny.Stop trying to be funny.I get it I think he's the smartest guy in the room and that's who he is own it Like if you try to tell me Tom whose numbers and stats try to be the coolest guy in the room and the most entertaining That probably won't be the case.

Although we have an audience that thinks that now last point The reality is Ben is who he is.The market, the media landscape has changed.It is what it is.But do you think Ben's going to stop being a constitutional conservative?No.Do you think he's going to stop defending Israel's right to exist?

No.Do you think he's going to basically whore out for the clicks and the views like Candace and Tucker and Megyn Kelly?He's just not going to do that.And he said that day one when he did a speech at the White House.point, uh, Ben is who he is, but I also encourage him if he's going to change and evolve, go ahead and debate the person.That's basically the head of the snake.

Now this Grover thing.Um, I think, look, I've hung out with Nick.I shot basketball with Nick.I disagree with his entire premise, but the kid is talented.I'll give him that.He's fine.

I watch Nick.I text Nick, uh, here and there, but, uh, I think that's something needs to be addressed.Now, I will say the Gruyper movement is going absolutely nowhere because Nick's fighting with Candace and Candace is fighting with Nick.Nick's fighting with Dan Bilzerian.Dan Bilzerian is apparently 12 % Jewish, so that excommunicates him for everything.He's trying to run against Andy Fine.

You can't build a coalition on hate.And that's just the reality of it.You can be talented, you can be opinionated, you can be an amazing personality, but that Groyper movement that Ben Shapiro does not want to basically ingest, all they do is destroy.

They can't build up.But I want to ask, from everything that you just said, I want to ask the businessman CEO, everything he's saying, he's not going to change, he's not going to change.As the CEO, you daily wire, what's going to happen if you don't What's going to happen to Daily Wire?With the attitude of, he is what he is, he's going to do what he's going to do.

The guys that gave the money to him, they're oil folks.I think they're 2 .8, 2 .9 billion dollar folks that invest in Daily Wire.Qatar?Rob, if you want to know, Daily Wire, they're oil, I want to say fracking?I don't know what business they're in.

Oil barons?

Yeah, that's the brothers that put money into it.What is their background?

Ferris and Dan Wilkes.

Yeah, Ferris and Dan Wilkes.These are the guys that funded Daily Wire.Okay, when you hear about the story at STEM and what, yeah, fracking business.I was right.So they're into fracking business.And so can you pull up their network, Rob?

What is Ferris and Dan Wilkes?

I think they also did Prager.I see it here.And I think they also bought Gibson.Guitar.Yeah, that's funny, Gibson Guitar, we're familiar with that.$2 .4 billion.

Okay, so $3 .5 billion.Yeah, so these are money people that have funded it.So here's how it works.When you have money that you deploy, Vinny, you put money in a couple different ways.You either deploy because of what you believe in, okay?I'm willing to put all the money to support any conservative causes and media companies because we need that message to grow.

Perfect.No problem.So, when your intention is only that, you're not necessarily looking at making money.You're looking at cause -driven.Let's protect the Jewish agenda.Let's protect the...

And I think these guys are Jews for Jesus, if I'm not mistaken.I don't think they're even Jewish.I think they're Jews for Jesus.Can you go pull up their Wikipedia again?Everything I'm saying in this part could be wrong.I haven't looked at this for a couple of years.

Testament, you know, Jesus Messiah.Do they believe in Christ?No, there it is right there.Yeah.They are not officially affiliated with the organization Jews for Jesus, but the pastor of the assembly of Yahuwah Seventh Day is a congregation that adheres to Judaizing form of Christianity.Okay.

So it's like Jews for Jesus.So that's kind of where they're at.So they're putting the money.Now let's flip.Regardless, if even if it's for values and principles, if you put money into a business and you invest and you're not getting a rate of return, nobody runs a charity.So then at the end of the day, you have to find a way.

to recreate the brand and the business.This isn't the first time.Best Buy was going through issues.They brought a new guy and he fixed it.Best Buy, people were no longer coming in.The Best Buy CEO was like, look, instead of trying to do it the old way, let's partner with Apple, Samsung, and give them a booth and a section.

So Apple's pushing people to come to our store.Best Buy grew at a certain period when the S &P 500 grew by 111%.I think they grew by 300 plus percent.And that's Best Buy.

Wow.

Okay.Cause Kmart didn't make it.Some of these guys didn't make it.So they need to go make a really good hire of a CEO to see what direction to go with this.And then a part of the onus has got to be on him on what he wants to do.And by the way, you could say the following, here's the thing.

There, there is, I'm not changing my values and principles.What do you think will take for somebody to change my values and principles of believing in capitalism?Okay.But guess what?Can somebody give me feedback on my approach?Can somebody give me feedback on strategy?

Can somebody come in?Yes, 100%.So I'm not in the part where I'm at, and I'll wrap it up with this last story.If we got time to do the Drake, let me see what my next meeting is, if Mateo's already texting me or not.I'm more on the part about the market is going to clear itself out.You went back 10 years ago on entrepreneur content, there were people that were the faces of entrepreneurship.

They disappeared.Poof.They're gone.And they're no longer around.Whoever's the biggest noise today, in 10 years, they're gonna disappear.And it's only gonna be 10 to 20 % of them.

Who is the 10 to 20 %?You have no idea.It's very hard to stay in the arena.You know, an article came out saying that YouTube today, interesting thing about algorithms with YouTube, Mr. Beast's viewership, they said, has dropped 50%.Why has it dropped 50 %?He used to get these videos, 900 million views, 500 million views, 400 million views.

Now it's 60 to 120 million views.Now somebody said, well, listen, give me a 60 to 120 million views.It doesn't mean it's being impacted.What did YouTube do?YouTube on the back end controls what?Controls, go look at any of the top 50 podcasts that we follow and go to their YouTube channel.

You'll notice.Why is this guy down to 600 ,000 views, 200 ,000 views, 800 ,000?He used to get 4 .8 million views.Why is that guy down?used to do 600 ,000 views down to 300 ,000 views, 150 ,000 views?What you will notice is the following.

Rogan is number one podcast in 94 countries on Spotify.But on YouTube, it's who?Someone else.Midas Touch.But why is that?Why is YouTube putting this?

Because YouTube came out and said they used to favor Because they control recommendations.The algorithms of YouTube, they control recommendations.Like, do you remember during COVID?During COVID, they're like, if you use the word, there was certain word you use on the title, it would just drop off.Okay, whatever the words were.During COVID, there was like 50 words I didn't like.

If you used it, it would automatically drop off.So don't use the word.All right, so people didn't use the word.In insurance, I'll never forget this in insurance, because in the insurance industry, there used to be this company called Aviva.Rob, can you pull up Aviva?Aviva ended up being bought by somebody.

I don't know what the company's new name is, but it used to be called Aviva Insurance.Go to Images, Rob.Go to Images.Aviva, yeah.

Oh, I remember these.

Yeah, but this used to be a different logo.Can you tap on Aviva's old logo?Old logo.Old logo was a different color.Anyways, so Aviva, one year, they're selling index annuities.Let me put the word allegedly in there, because I wasn't on the inside.

They all of a sudden get $2 billion of annuities that comes in.And every time you sell annuities, you lose money, because you have to pay up 8 % to 12 % in commissions.So if I take $1 million of new annuity money, I'm paying $120 ,000 to agents.So how much money have I made getting the new money?Nothing.Zero.

So one year, they get $2 billion of index annuities.If you get $2 billion of index annuities, how much are you having to pay commissions up front?What's 12 % of $2 billion?$240 million of commissions you have to pay.So if your bank account is at, say, half a billion dollars of money you've raised, you sell $2 billion of annuities, you just depleted half your money, you're not going to make your money on annuities for 7 to 10 years.So then all of a sudden everybody's like, wait a minute, why is Aviva no longer accepting the amount of annuities that they did?

Why are they no longer accepting the amount of IULs as they did?Because every time they sold index annuities, or index universal life, they were losing money.It takes 7 to 10 years to make money.Who controls the NOP?Aviva controls the NOP.Guess who controls the NOP on YouTube viewership right now?

YouTube does.You know what YouTube did?YouTube controlled the NOP, and it was long form suggestion, and YouTube went like this, and said short form.We don't want any more long form recommendation.Guess what YouTube announced last year?Going back to long form.

YouTube last year announced, as of July 15th, If it's a faceless YouTube channel, we're no longer paying you AdSense.What do you mean?So whoever controls the knob controls the viewership.So there is an element of the media changing on what they're favoring now.It's purely YouTube algorithmic criticism.Watch this.

At mid -2026, they just made the announcement, YouTube's algorithm is increasingly favoring smaller, emerging channels by prioritizing high retention content over subscriber count.So what is YouTube doing?They want more new people.Because imagine YouTube sitting in a meeting and they're saying, man, we're not having as many new content creators.I don't know if this makes sense.Like, if you go look at last week, Instagram did a massive purge of followership.

Rob, can you go to Instagram purge last week?I want to say Kylie Jenner lost 14 million people on followership in a single day.Can you type in purge?Purge.What happened last week?Brands and stuff lost millions.

Oh, look at this, Vinny.Welcome to the greatest bot purge of 2026.Go a little bit lower.May 8th.Exactly a week ago.Can you go to the names of people that lost, the amount of people they lost?

Right there.Okay.So Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, losing 15 .2 million.Cristiano Ronaldo lost 15 million followers in one day.Kardashian lost 9 .19.Kylie Jenner lost 7 .12.

Taylor Swift lost 7 .2.Nike alone lost 5 .9 million followers in one day.So if you look at somebody whose followership gets to a point and it doesn't change anymore, It's because you found your audience that's interested in you.They're no longer like, now you have to either make a change or a shift or get a new audience to get the new audience.So YouTube hit a mark where they're like, we already have so many people that are content creators.We're everywhere in the world.

What do we do?Then they said, stop recommending the big popular podcast.Start recommending the smaller podcast.Why do you want to recommend a smaller podcast?Why do you want to recommend a smaller podcast?

Supply and demand.You want young people to believe in themselves.

Because you don't think the bigger podcasts are going to stop.except you're going to inspire the smaller podcast to climb up.Like, you know how you'll come in and say, I don't know what's going on, but I think YouTube's on my side right now.And I'll say, hey, don't mess with that.Because whenever the algorithms are annoyed.So this is the part that you have to pivot.

You have to adjust as a content creator and find that if they want to build a media company, you're seeing the big foxes and these companies that are now bringing talent and saying, hey, do a podcast.Hey, we'll support you doing this.Everyone has to pivot.But the reality of what the world is learning is whoever controls the knob, controls the future content creators.Okay, is Nick Fuentes on YouTube?No.

Why is he not?Because of who controls the knob?Of course.Okay, so where is he back on?X. Y. Because of who controls the knob?Elon.

Where is he at?He's at Rumble.

Why?

Because of who controls the knob.So you just got to keep in mind, whenever somebody, whenever these companies want to elevate somebody or destroy somebody, they can't because they control the knob.This is a nasty part of the story.Now, this doesn't mean that'smain reason and only reason that, you know, they're having a hard time with it.No.

Do bots play a little bit of a game?Probably, but not that much.Is it YouTube controlling the knob and that's why I'm being shadowbanned?I've never liked when people said, I'm being shadowbanned.No, just improve your content.Make it better.

This is a brutal, brutal business to be in.The moment you take a camera and you go, I believe such and such, you are going to get attacked.So if you don't like it, don't use the words.In my opinion, I believe.Just be quiet.But if you do say, I believe, in my opinion, expect people to come and hate on you as part of the territory, period.

And they're going to get it right now.But trust me, in six months, it's going to be somebody else.In a year, it's going to be them.They're going to say, whoa, let me tell you what's going on with Peabody Pile.You're in the arena, expect the heat that's going to come with it.But you can't also be like, well, I don't really give a shit what people say about me.

You're an idiot when you say stuff like that.You're a clown.You're an arrogant, entitled person when you say, I don't give a shit what people think about me.If that word has ever come out of your mouth on the idea that I don't need to improve, you're a has -been, and the market's going to destroy you.I don't care who you are.If my kids come up to me and let you say Dylan starts scoring a bunch of goals, he becomes the best player, and he's in the car and says, I don't care what the new coach says about me. I'm like, I'm sorry, what?

No.What did the coach say?He says, well, I'm not running as much as I used to.He's right.What do you mean?Yeah.

Take his feedback.What do you mean you're not running?Well, I don't care what he says.No, no, no.That's not how life flies.You got to make sure you go out there and take that feedback.

So we'll see what happened here.I'm optimistic long -term.I think he's still young.There's going to be a lot of highs, a lot of lows.And then at the end of the year, in 20 years, 2046, we'll look back and see where this thing takes us.Adam.

I'll have one more story I want to get to, but you're raising your hand.

I'm just saying wait till 2028, because that's where I think the views are going to come.

So we'll see.Okay, let's go to the next one.Alright, Drake and LeBron.Rob, do you have this?I'm going to make this very brief and Adam, I'm coming to you first.Vinny, I'm coming to you next and Tom, I'm not coming to you.

So, if you want to pull up the Drake.So, allegedly, is this the lyrics, Rob?Is this?Yes, this is the song.So, Drake, rumor has it, is taking shots at LeBron.And and it's it's pretty it's pretty it's pretty tough Rob if you want to play this can we even play it or no Rob Yes, we can play it.

Are you sure?Yes, we'll fight it in post.It's covered under fair use.Okay, go for it.

Okay, so what happened with 23andMe?

Who's he talking about?This guy named LeBron James, okay?And by the way, the lines continue on what he says about all this stuff.I shouldn't even be shocked to see you in the arena because you always made your career for switching teams up.Please stop asking what's going on with 23andMe.I'm a real you -know -what and he's not.

Okay?

Drake 39, James 41.They seem to be having tension.And it's interesting with this tension because at the beginning, They used to be like an item.I think one of the main songs was him.What was the song that he had?Greatness?

There was a song that he made that was in LeBron's, what do you call it, videos that he would make.It would mainly be this song.So Adam, how much are you following the story between the feud of these two guys?

0%, but that doesn't mean I don't know anything about LeBron.I don't know about Drake.I know they spent a lot of time when Drake was coming up.the early 2010s when LeBron was playing for the heat, they definitely had a relationship.But I don't know the, the, the literally, I didn't even know this story popped up, but what I will say is this, and I'm just connecting dots here.Hey guys, I'm just asking questions.

Toronto Raptors won a championship in what?2019.Okay.LeBron was still on Cleveland then, so there was some beef at that point.He had just left Cleveland.But also, what's the city that, and by the way, Drake is from Toronto, what's the city that's connecting dots?

I don't know.What's the city, the one NBA city that LeBron criticized recently?I don't know.Yeah, Memphis.He criticized Memphis.Where's Drake from?

Canada.That's where his mom's from.Where's his dad from?

Memphis.

Memphis.So there's some stuff going on behind the scenes here, but I know this.I don't think that's what it is. I know.I'm just connecting dots here, but I know this.I don't know what happened here.They both got some dirt on one another.

They both been in some secret rooms, parties.I'm not saying ditty parties, whatever.They know some stuff, but let me tell you something.Drake, run into LeBron by yourself without your crew and then talk shit.I don't think you're going to say one word to LeBron.So there's a difference between yapping and it's funny thing is that Drake made his his career on saying that Twitter fingers turned into trigger fingers turned into Twitter fingers basically saying that everybody's not tough.

You talk tough online, but not in real life.Let's see if Drake does anything to LeBron in real life because I guarantee you if you're going to call it come for the King, you know, you better not miss so LeBron.Better luck next time in the playoffs.I think Luka Doncic is coming back for the next series.

I want to say this.I think one of the reasons was because do you remember we were watching the Super Bowl and LeBron was dancing to Kendrick Lamar?

That's it.And so that's what I think it is, right?

Because I'm reading these lines right now.he said.I'm like, bro, what was a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Key lines pop out with them.Who's them Kendrick Lamar?You switched on the guys and supported a hater like what are you doing going from me to to him?

And you know Kendrick did the not like us which blew up massive huge and that I think I think I think Adam That's the connecting the dots is that because the Kendrick Lamar Drake beef was Kendrick in the lyrics saying something about pedophilia or something Do you remember that?Do you remember that beat where he was saying?

Oh yeah, you like him young.So then think about this.

You're friends with, I know Tom's following, guys.Look at Tom.Tom knows that LeBron and Drake were like this.Tom's gonna make you laugh now and cry later, buddy.They were like this.Tom's gonna freestyle after this.

They were friends.And then Kendrick Lamar, LeBron is chilling with Kendrick Lamar and bumping his music and hanging out with him.And Drake was like, nope.Especially after, bro, you hang out with somebody that's calling me pedophile in the lyrics I'm not gonna be cool with you so I think that's what Pat made a great great point.I don't know, I like it.

I like it that it's happening.Pat, why did you want to cover the story?This is so not up our alley typically.

And that's why it's the last story and so the audience if not interested go ahead and do your thing but this is this is look as a kid I was a hip -hop guy I was a hip -hop and an R &B guy till 2003 till 2003 after that I turned off the radio and I just like this morning I just texted something to Spencer Pratt Right now encouraging him.I sent him two pages from a book to read and this was an audiobook that I played in the car 24 -7 for two yearsThis was the only audio book that played in the car.And I stopped listening to hip -hop.But the thing with hip -hop and the wars internally, the games, interest, selling it now, oh my God, I've got to see what's in the album.This is how you do it.

This is how you sell an album.This is a marketer.You get the right eyeballs and see what happens to it.Anyways, gang, great spending time with you guys as usual on Friday.Rob, do we have anything going on this weekend or no?

No, we have an interview going out next Tuesday.

And that's what, with Paul Saladino?Yes, sir.Probably one of the funniest interviews I've done in a long time.You're going to laugh your ass off.But with that being said, have a great weekend, everybody.God bless.

We'll do it again next Monday.Take care.Bye -bye, bye -bye.
