Pat

did you ever think you would make it

Vinnie

adam what's your point the future looks bright my handshake is better than anything i ever saw it's right here you are one of one my son's right i think i've never said this before okay i think it's fair to say was a busy weekend a lot of stuff happened and on top of a lot of stuff happening also this coach there's a massive coach feud going on with bellingham in england which is a very very interesting story world cup of course we'll cover that as well lindsey graham may he rest in peace died at seventy one years old right after coming back on his ten trip from kiev ukraine if i'm not mistaken and he made the phone call to the president and then boom we heard a story there's a lot of people that are saying good bad things conspiracy theories we'll get into that and there's one message one speech he gave defending kavanaugh that vinnie showed me yesterday i couldn't believe it while i'm sitting there it's one of the best things i've heard a senate say in a long time defending his own camp and doing it in such an eloquent way but again he's a conflict complicated individual mitch mcconnell same thing they hadn't heard him speak for a minute and eventually post something with a newspaper holding up and there's a lot of memes going on a lot of people are having a lot of fun with which mcconnell one of the meme was him dancing one of the memes was him with elvis presley and tupac and all these guys and then a lot of people asked and said you know beatles break up yeah a lot of people asked and said why don't you just post a video instead of a newspaper holding but i mean how much there is to it who knows i can tell you he's already stated last year that he's retiring january first of twenty twenty seven and he's not seeking reelection so his job's going to be going to somebody anyway so for conspiracy theorists it's a fun story to go through we will we're glad he's doing better and he's with his wife rubio i think last week we showed a story vinnie of the the fellow laotian man who allegedly not allegedly he did rape his wife's sister who was ten years old and she didn't file any charges and tim waltz is like well it's just their culture leave the man alone you know if she she doesn't want to file anything it's okay marco rubio doesn't play around good he came out and said listen you're getting deported you child rapist you yes no hesitation i don't care if you put the fear of death into the ten year old girl at the time that you ended up marrying his or her sister and whether they're okay with you or not we're not okay with that in america get the hell out of here and that that's my interpretation of how he said it marco marco said it more eloquently but but i'm just kind of interpreting you're out of here yeah exactly and then aside from that iran and and us a nasty situation obviously this memorandum of understanding is going very smoothly everything's working out they're they're attacking left and right and it's not looking good it's not looking good what's going on there and you should hear what the state tv of iran was saying when lindsey graham was dead celebrating and a bunch of other people celebrating with that but he was one of the guys that was helping out reza pahlavi a lot and so you know with potentially doing things to liberate iranians and so they do not like lindsey graham but there's a lot of nasty things going on they iran attacked i believe bahrain jordan kuwait omen a few different places oman a few other places and so we're in the middle of the thirty day the sixty day that they said they're gonna negotiate it's not going well in the first thirty days so we'll see what happened there mamdani was allegedly supposed to meet with the ambassador of iran not a big deal i didn't check my schedule i don't know i don't know and we're supposed to believe yeah i didn't know my team's doing it you know i don't know like let's just say if i got a big meeting you don't think i know my big meetings what do you think oh well hey mister president i don't know hey ambassador whatever i don't know right and then state department's like what the hell you doing get out the way you're not gonna go meet with those guys do you understand what you're doing here and then he makes a few comments about you know different parts of new york this this is this is for palestinians this is this is for this and he leaves out jews and italians and in all and all the wait wait wait wait wait wait what are you doing what are you doing new york new york is like are you out of your mind well no it wasn't like intentional yeah it was accidental but it is what it is we'll address that story couple cool stories i really like one chipotle ceo uses team dinners to spot potential leaders i really want to talk about that i love that story i love that strategy period we've done that for twenty five years and i'll show i think it's a good idea for any executive that's watching this to be doing that as well i'm in such reading mode right now i cannot even tell you how much i'm doing i've done more reading i haven't done this kind of chunking of reading the way i'm doing right now the last few weeks in probably ten years i'm always reading stuff but not reading books and i got some of the stuff here a story says the end of reading is here and and i think that's such a big edge to people who don't allow the end of reading to be there for you there's so much opportunity for those that don't allow that to apply to them the brain's getting rotted for a lot of people test scores came out check this out university of which one is this brown university allowed people to go do take home midterms i i wish take home midterms were there when i was around we didn't have no take home midterms so funny no no you go take home midterms and so kids go and take home the midterms and then they do the midterms in school it's a twenty percent difference in score no shit sherlock what do you think is going to happen if i go home and i can use so then the first university in america right now that is no longer allowing devices in the in the classroom is university of chicago law school good for them we don't want devices in here i think that's a great idea you guys got to learn instead of just relying on that you know technology to do all that stuff for you netflix is exploring going live tv it looks like they want to compete with hulu in that area but you know it could or could not be a good strategy i think i like it but we'll see what happened a couple good soccer stories rich paul says if lebron james joined steph curry that would terrify warriors opponents i you know lebron james is glued to the tv and is envious of one thing watching world cup that these people in world cup are better floppers than him the only people in the world that are better floppers than than lebron james are soccer players honestly can you imagine lebron as a soccer player you touch him he falls holds his hands is looking through his eyes to see if the referee's looking or not yeah so i got some thoughts on

Pat

that obviously he get yellow cards yeah

Vinnie

yeah we won't go to adam on thoughts on the nba stuff but we will give you some insight on what's going on and then gavin newsom says elon musk him an apology he owes californians an apology you know and and he was asking a question about his taxes he's like well you know i always i always do my taxes and all this stuff but elon wasn't too friendly with elon and we'll address that part there's an article that came out from cnbc saying the ten worst states to live in and you should see who's in the top ten worst states to live in it's like the most ridiculous thing you'll ever see in your life like the states that are getting the most people that are going to them are supposed to be the worst states and the states that are losing the most people are supposed to be the best states yeah that makes a

Pat

lot of sense who wrote the story

Vinnie

cnbc cnbc conor mcgregor story with his leg we'll get into that and then there is if you're eighty years old watching this we have some audience that are over eighty that watch this if you're over eighty watching this there's a massive life changing life saving disclaimer that has to do with bisons like if you see a bison and you're above eighty probably a good idea is to turn around and walk as fast as you can away from the bison don't try to beat the bison walking around a tree we'll show that to you it's very important because that's more like a national health announcement to make to people above eighty artificial hips are in your future my mom and my dad are in that community so first thing i did when i saw that video i text him the video i said mom dad if you guys see a bison run away don't don't go try to take a picture of it i don't care about the picture so i think it's important for us to share that with you we will but with that being said you know what is happening in less than eight weeks the vault conference and this is the new manual by the way this is the manual that came in and it's sick and there's going to be a couple best of its kind best of its kind

Tom

in every way actually he was mister president and i know that we are all just absorbing this news we are all in shock can you tell us mister president how you received this news

Vinnie

and your immediate gut reaction when you

Tom

heard it so what makes it even

Pat

stranger is that i got a call

Tom

last night sometime you know the early

Vinnie

evening maybe in the sevens and he called and he said we're all set

Pat

for the save america act he was pushing the save america act like crazy he got back said he just landed

Tom

from ukraine i said that's a long

Vinnie

trip to make he said he sounded a little tired but perfect but a little bit tired had a right to

Tom

Vinnie

was really a worker but but he sounded great actually but he was he was he actually said he was tired but he wanted to pass the save america act and i said well we're

Tom

going to get it done lindsey we're

Vinnie

going to get it done so tom your thoughts on the passing of lindsey

Pat

graham well first of all it doesn't matter which side of the aisle you

Tom

were on

Pat

you know you recognized you know our statesmen you recognize these people with respect you may not agree with them but you recommend recognize their life of service with respect and what has disgusted me is the people that were just you know dancing on the grave and being know so happy about it good riddance and all that i just there's no place for that there is zero place for that everybody has an opportunity to flip and change everybody has an opportunity to to you know find religion find faith whatever it is they find and come to the other side and they're just one moment one day away from that and so first i was disgusted but then i sat back and i decided i wasn't going to be angry and i was just going to consider the man and i considered the things he did i considered vinnie you found it the amazing full throated defense that he gave at the kavanaugh hearing j six it's very interesting i was speaking to some people at trump international golf course and what they told me said during j six that whole area that lindsey graham was coming down to mar a lago and he was coming down almost weekly and he wasn't there playing golf partying or anything like that he was down there supporting his colleague supporting trump who was under siege after what happened with j six and that shows you that he had a sense of loyalty to him and what was interesting to me is these were just the regular people that are in other words these aren't politicians like that these were people are saying wow it was amazing when this was going on you could see the loyalty that he had you could see the dedication he had for trump and how many people i don't care if you're critical can you look around in your life and find people that are that loyal to you i don't care if you love or didn't love lindsey graham if you don't look around yourself and see people that are that loyal to you then guess what you don't have you don't have true friends and this guy i'm just tom respectfully i feel a sense

Vinnie

of loss respectfully a lot of people would say this guy was very critical of trump in the past this guy so the part of the audience there's a few things to isolate in my opinion number one hey guess what the man died he's no longer here with us come give me a kiss baby you're so funny just came in to say hi and then we can go back who loves you okay hello bro a lot of people are saying this guy on one end was you know critical of the president for a long time and then all of a sudden later on now you're coming saying this so let's isolate one yes made a man rest in peace but on the other side you know he was also not somebody that was necessarily loved by one hundred percent of republicans now the one thing that i will tell you that is very interesting is this clip that you shared with me yesterday you want to talk about what's going on

Tom

over here so guys and i want to say this because tom made a great point like criticized left right whatever his defense of brett kavanaugh when he's trying to get the seat the supreme court justice is one of the most defining moments in his political career and i think and tom it was one of those like moments where you're like oh my god this dude and by the way look at the people around him he's quiet so he's trying to become he's trying to get a seat and they they had the you know doctor blasey ford came up and and had this whole rape allegation from high school and little did they know that this guy had literally every single day on a calendar for years every single thing that he did so it didn't add up they tried to destroy him just like clarence thomas because this is how washington does and if guys i'm telling you right now and tom made a great point if you are you know letter of recommendation or whatever you want you want somebody like lindsey graham love him or hate him or his mind change about trump or whatever this is the guy that you want in your corner talking for you this is a freaking letter of recommendation beyond a letter of recommendation so he's sticking up for him after what the can we

Vinnie

watch it go for it if you

Tom

wanted an fbi investigation you could have come to us what you want to do is destroy this guy's life hold this seat open and hope you win in twenty twenty you've said that not me you've got nothing to apologize for when you see sotomayor and kagan tell them that lindsey said hello cause i voted for them i would never do to them what you've done to this guy this is the most unethical sham since i've been in politics and if you really wanted to know the truth you sure as hell wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy are you a gang rapist no i cannot imagine what you and your family have gone through boy y' all want power god i hope you never get it i hope the american people can see through this sham that you knew about it and you held it the allegations are great you have no intention of protecting doctor ford none she's as much of a victim as you are god i hate to say it cause these have been my friends but let me tell you when it comes to this you're looking for a fair process you came to the wrong town at the wrong time my friend do you consider this a job interview

Vinnie

the advice and consent role is like a job interview

Tom

you consider that you've been through a job interview i've been through a process of advice and consent under the constitution which would you say you've been through hell i've been through hell and then some this is not a job interview this is hell this is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap your high school yearbook you have interacted with professional women all your life not one accusation well here it comes you're supposed to be bill cosby when you're a junior and senior in high school and all of a sudden you got over it my understanding look if you drug women and raped them for two years in high school you probably don't stop here's my understanding if you lived a good life people would recognize it like the american bar association has the gold standard his integrity is absolutely unquestionable it's

Vinnie

solid i mean you can pause your idea it's just a powerful messaging of lindsey graham again in this business the guy served in the military over thirty years right i think he was three plus decades that he was in there and he did his work and hard one of the hardest working guys out there but the market reacted to it in a very different way there's a lot of negative things that was said about him as well oh i don't know if you want to get into

Tom

that mark yeah so and just i'm happy you brought that up pat thirty years in congress and in a city where politicians like nancy pelosi amassed tens of thousands if not hundreds of millions of dollars guess what he left he died with a net worth of one point five million dollars that's nothing for thirty years but then you have ghouls and pat these are disgusting human beings margaret cho on lindsey graham's death umberto can you bring that up and i'll say it while he's looking for it she said bye lindsay from the closet to the coffin think about and again guys going off of what pat said i don't care how you felt about somebody if they love somebody if they hated somebody his policies or whatever this is a human being made in the image of god and he is dead for you to say stuff like from the closet to the coffin where you have it for put margaret cho margaret cho i sent it in the in the slack is a disgusting thing to do and it says so much about your soul and this is coming from the it's not the majority it's everybody from the left that is speaking on him a little bit higher higher higher right there that's margaret cho then you can show the other one guys this is margaret show the comedian talking about somebody that just died go ahead bye lindsay bye lindsay graham from the closet to the coffin real seamless real seamless dog also yeah mitch mcconnell so it's mitch mcconnell yeah the dog does happen in threes does happen in threes you know what she's wanting she wants that's big innuendos wanting trump to die and by the way her dog sounds like he's asking for help in the background and then and then umberto go down guys listen to me i know we always talk about evil and demons and all that stuff look at this person's eyes when they're talking about death of another human being and tell me there's not something disgusting and dark in this person's life go ahead i woke up

Adam

this morning and found out lindsey graham

Tom

is dead jeez mitch mcconnell is dead no he's not there's two more that

Adam

needs to go if you know what

Vinnie

i'm saying but what a wonderful morning

Tom

praise be allah yeah praise be allah praise be allah so that so just to give everybody a context pat and then pat if you don't mind this this this whole thing with lindsay because you know all the conspiracy theorists were out there he had what they basically said in layman's terms when he tore his aorta it's like aortic dissection due to something cardiovascular disease okay that's going disease heart disease tom it happened to who's the three's company guy i forgot john ritter john ritter they got a tear and eye his aorta and guys this is from people that are just working and they're doing so much and you're not checking on your health and i'm telling everybody right now from experience if you're over forty stop putting it off get yourself checked out there's too many people that ignore the warning signs okay then they find out when it's too late and a lot of these diseases can be treated if you're if you catch them early and now this is a message for everybody wherever you are listening to this if you're overweight start taking care of yourself okay if you're sitting around get moving and if you're struggling with addiction today is the day to get better stop saying and i love that what are the odds that you did it for the vol ad stop saying i'll do it tomorrow because tomorrow turns into next week next week turns into a month next month turns into a year and i know because i've been there okay and if you're struggling with addiction today do it okay get sober because it's the best decision you feel me that's very good

Vinnie

very good message adam your thoughts well

Adam

vinnie number one i'm glad that you're doing so well and i appreciate the message rest in peace lindsey graham lindsey graham was a political gangster the kids say that he stood on business he was still ten toes down that's what lindsey graham did some people didn't like it obviously you have some disgusting people cheering for his death anna kasparian you could show that our old friend but there's a lot of red blooded loving americans who understand what he did for our country so he was the number one republican voice you could argue on national security and foreign policy some people say he was a hawk but that was his job his job was to ring the alarm bells and say iran's trying to kill us china's trying to slit our throat russia wants to basically take over europe and basically we're next stability through strength peace through strength that was his job and then his coup de grace you saw it earlier was what he did with brett kavanaugh sometimes when you know like we might have to read our notes a little bit we might have to check notes this dude just looked straight in the camera and was like this is what's going on here's what you need to know this is the deal that's how you know somebody's serious at the end of the day what i'm gonna lindsey graham for was there's a lot of people that talk trash but they're not in the game this dude was in the arena he might not agree with everything that trump did or the republican establishment did but this guy was there every single day and he's gone way too soon seventy one years old we have people in their eighties almost nineties in congress gone way too soon and he'll

Vinnie

be missed and by the way while this is happening mitch mcconnell posts a note out there and a picture of he and his wife to make sure everybody is not thinking that he's a lot of people are like maybe he's dead he's dead i think he's dead he's not dead he posted a picture with he and his wife and put a note out there i don't know whether he wrote this or not if you want to zoom in on the picture if you want to get zoom in on the picture a little bit if you'll see they have the newspaper to the left to kind of show what the timing is and he's explaining how he had a fall he wasn't doing well he's gone there he's recovering he says i still have some work to do i'm not stepping down and but at the same time he's already expressed last year that he's not no longer seeking reelection after january twenty twenty seven so his seed will be taken over by somebody else and the mark this is the one thing about ai man ai knows how to have a lot of fun you want to play some of these clips on what ai did just so you know how the market works look at this one here i mean just love i mean if you have a sense of humor this is what people wanted to make sure he's doing well you know watch out for the music there you go some people are saying some people are saying that's ai some are saying it's real i'm saying it's ai you know but at the same time you know we're glad he's doing okay and his position will probably go to somebody else here soon in regard to the south carolina one what happens next is the governor of south carolina has to replace him with somebody but they still have to do a primary which means there has to be an element of somebody on the republican side to be able to fight for the lindsey graham's position i think right now it's fifty three to forty seven you know and it kind of brings it down to fifty two forty seven so on the senate they definitely need every one of them so there's some very moving you know moving parts on the on the power plays that people have to pay close attention to both of these guys they're watching it very very closely let me get to the next story next story is iran targeted us and these stories with iran that you read about i mean it's not pretty what happened here what's a real thing that took place at one point everybody's thinking well you know it's good it's peace it's gonna be great well on july seventh tuesday escalations began after iran fires drones at maritime shipping containers and transitioning the strait of hormuz claiming sovereign oversight over unapproved shipping routes and on saturday july eleventh an iranian strike hits a commercial container ship in the critical waterway setting it ablaze and leaving a civilian crew member missing iran's revolutionary guard officially declares the strait of hormuz closed to all international traffic then yesterday july twelfth at five pm centcom forces initiate massive retaliatory waves airstrike strike one hundred forty different targets across southern iran including rashm island bandar abbas syriac and jask targets including drone launch you got it you want to put it here that'll mess it up drone launch networks missile sites ammunition dumps thank you and revolutionary guard naval vessels trump announced on national television we bombed the hell out of them last night signaling that the interim diplomatic deal is effectively dead and then today early this morning very early this morning iranian state media acknowledges widespread domestic explosions response to the bombing iran launched retaliatory strike targeting infrastructures instead bahrain kuwait qatar jordan oman sent commissars that the strait remains open stating iran does not control the strait traffic is blowing while this is going on a couple of things to keep in mind is these different locations that were tom apparently these countries kuwait they were able to intercept a lot of these attacks that took place tom when you look at this one how is the market reacting to it two i saw the numbers on odds on what they're saying they're saying there's a thirty percent chances that this could escalate into something nasty even worse than what it was and oil prices can go back to one hundred twenty there's a fifty percent chance that this could drag out for quite some time till the end of the year and there's a twenty percent chance that this is going to be a quick seasonal thing boom we're going back to negotiation and things will be done where are you at with this

Pat

tom well i look at to see how the price of oil reacts because the market has been reacting and i look at those numbers to see how all of the invisible hands of the economy pat that are out there helping us and working against us work as you can see here oil is staying just a tick under seventy four was seven thousand three hundred fifty the market's open now at seven thousand three hundred seventy five okay great so the market is maintaining calmness pre market today for our major indexes s and p and nasdaq half a percent up so in other words a normal kind of a monday up after some positive economic news over the weekend not dramatic news but good news fair news so the market is not freaking out now you go down here and look take a look pat there's actually thirty four ships in motion remember how long we would look on there and there's two three and they were being escorted by the military just one at a time please well guess what there's some going through now the other side of it is that there is the side that says okay it doesn't look like anybody's reacting here's the side i worry about iran is launching things back across at all of those targets and they're hitting two and three i think they hit three separate countries on the other side and it's like wait a minute this can get out of hand and yes the the iron dome type technology which is what we helped israel with that's out there

Vinnie

and by the way just so you look at jordan's air defense intercept regional threats shooting down four incoming iranian ballistic missiles over its sovereign airspace kuwait did the same with their intercept interceptors and then you got a couple other locations not all of them but some of them did get through right and i

Pat

think kuwait and jordan i believe are us equipment not us ships but it's us technology on the ground there that we've shared with with with those countries and so they're able to get it down but this this is nuts but the number one nuts part that i absolutely hated was that it was a it was a civilian in other words private company tanker that was there and that just when they're sitting there you're looking at what happens if they really hit that you have all this oil spilled in the gulf and you'd have twenty five innocent sailors that were working for a cargo company on monday and on tuesday they got killed by an iranian missile that i think is what's escalating this thing bad pat is they're aiming at the innocent you know sailors that are on transport vessels yeah i

Vinnie

mean look again every time they do this it unites the world with each other specifically that region they're like okay we're on us's side not on iran's side but at the same time while you're watching this you have to remember that how quickly did this change when they had the funeral their own state sponsored banner state sponsored that's kind of like imagine the us state department says kill putin or kill something that said kill trump yeah how do you really feel exactly and then regime vows execution of leaders high ranking iranian figures published a state directive on july eleventh declaring that american decision makers will take to their graves the unfulfilled wish of dying peacefully in their beds this is not language of somebody that wants to negotiate so it's it's and by the way again for somebody that was hoping for iranians to be free the eighty one percent that want iran to be free the main guy that was spearheading this was lindsey graham who died yesterday that's why a lot of people are saying well maybe this could have a tie because of how iran state media reacted to lindsey graham dying yesterday maybe there was something going on there adam your thoughts with the story on iran so

Adam

here we go again i mean if this were reality tv pat let's be honest here this would be like the most toxic breakup get back together relationship in soap opera history i know you were a big fan of beverly hills nine zero two one zero shout out to dylan mccabe melrose place but just we're back again we're friends again they're crazy again they're insane again we're bombing them again the ayatollah is a great guy he's a piece of crap at what point are we like my god and i feel like you know who's getting fatigue you know hear this thing it's a black fatigue it's israel fatigue at this point i feel like the average american just has iran fatigue don't even get me started on the strait of hormuz the strait of hormuz is affecting everybody's lifestyle and gas prices more than anything in america at this point so if i'm the average american and i'm thinking straight of hormuz iran get this stuff out of my face i think we all understand this iran they want to basically take over the middle east they want to have their sort of sharia law vision of the world the end of times in america we're focused on midterms versus the end of times at the end of the day they're going to do what they got to do with this little soap opera but who out there doesn't think that as soon as midterms are over left right or center trump isn't going to just bomb the crap out of these people like he has nothing left to lose that's what i think is going to happen at the end of the

Tom

day well here's my thing how much on this podcast about what happened but they could keep on doing this and how much how much are we going to let them do it because all i keep hearing is the bragging okay the air force decimated navy all the ships at the bottom of the ocean pat at what point at what point are we going to say okay enough is enough because to me it seems like this isn't going to stop in two years this isn't going to stop in ten years because iran first i don't know how the hell they're doing it besides the mines tom they have control of this this specific area and as you said that all the nations are trying to slowly come together and be like wait a minute these people are in control and it's whatever they dictate the oil is going to go up and it's hurting everybody's wallet especially regular americans so i'm i'm because you taught how many times it's the solution what is going to be the solution for this whole thing pat and i don't see any solution other than literally going in there i'm not saying i want us to do this but i'm trying to figure out another way than going in there invading and getting rid of the irgc and freeing the people there's no other way what is other because then give me a solution on how this is going to stop how are we going to stop iran tom from doing this every single week we've

Pat

heard the talking points about oh the navy's at the bottom of the ocean oh we got this oh we got the the only things that we know that we that we have hit is all the ships we can count the ships where they were on satellite and now they're not there they're they're sunk so number one but number two they've got missile installations everywhere and these really aren't missiles these are more like rockets yes right they've got rockets everywhere they're they're hidden five here four here five here that's what they got they're up in the hills or up in the mountains and they keep launching them and they keep launching them with some reasonable level of telemetry and guidance systems and and they're getting targeting information that hasn't stopped we wait for a week and all of a sudden oh forty missiles overnight going here here here here and here you know so that hasn't been decimated and that part is still there and operational and appears that they got enough of it that they got this waiting game that they could go out so we could talk about the navy talk about all these talking points but they still have enough almost like guerrilla warfare with with five missiles here there's

Vinnie

a question tom let me ask you a question if marco rubio was president right now or jd vance was president right how would they have handled the situation with iran say they're the president right now how different would they have handled this situation if they're right on

Tom

me i don't think jd would have started it me personally marco rubio right now pat i think he'd be a little bit more aggressive you think he

Vinnie

would have started it marco rubio absolutely okay so tell me what you think rubio would be doing differently than trump right now so let's go to that let's isolate specifically rubio what would rubio be doing differently you think you think rubio sees iran as a bigger threat than the president does ruby i think

Adam

it's pretty pretty equal i think it's

Tom

pretty yeah i don't think he makes a good point i think it's pretty

Vinnie

you think it's equal pretty even pat you think you think you think rubio is more do you think rubio and trump i think rubio is five percent more than the president i think rubio is five percent more than the president i think rubio i agree with that

Pat

and i think jd vance is far

Vinnie

from the president i think rubio is slightly ahead of the president on how big the threat is and i think the president is more of a businessman where he's like look let's just freaking this is this is annoying let's just come back and do business like focus on green let's focus on this let's focus on that i think rubio would have gone a little harder than the president would have my opinion i agree with you i think rubio would have

Adam

gone a little harder i think there's

Pat

one key difference i think the one key difference is i think rubio would have made sure that he had succession how does who's gonna flow into this gap we saw what happened when we killed saddam hussein in iraq and all the crazies just swept in and went boom it's the same thing if you ever read the book or seen the movie charlie wilson's war the movie over dramaticized it you know what hollywood does but it was a story of we helped the afghans get the russians out of afghanistan way way back and guess what when we left a vacuum the crazies swept in when we killed when hussein was found and the and then executed the crazies came in i think rubio by the way venezuela we knew there was a backup plan call it cia call it mikado call it what you want to call it but there was a plan for some sort of stabilizing leadership in venezuela i think rubio pat i think he would have made sure that those people either gonna the kurds are gonna support this these people are gonna do this and we're gonna have succession i think he would have

Vinnie

that this is how i see it this is how i see it i think all of us we have a different top five let's face it like if you were president right now your issues would be very different than if tom was president than if adam was president if i everybody has a different priority list i just think iran will be slightly higher on the list for rubio than trump's and i think he would be he would be he would be approaching the irgc in a very different way than the president is the president he's negotiated with everybody and he thinks he can get a deal with everybody i just and a part of it is like this like you know how sometimes i'm trying to tell you you got a kid and i'm trying to tell you hey vinny avoid that crowd and you're like i got it man i'm freaking thirty years old leave me alone dad let's just say you're having a conversation vinny i'm just telling you avoid that dude are you freaking i got it yeah and then i'm like okay you know what guess what go every time you ask me for advice i give you zero advice because i want you to go through it six months later you go and you hang out with that crowd you come back and say man you know you got to avoid that crowd i'm like no shit sherlock i don't say right so i think sometimes you have to wrestle with the irgc to realize they're not even the nastiest ugliest person the president ever negotiated with is not at the level of nasty of irgs yeah i think that's the thing i think you got to kind of pick that up and kind of go go for that for yourself and he's going but

Tom

pat trump is going for legacy at this point and like you said he just wants like get it over with and get it done with but these guys aren't going anywhere they're not going anywhere and marco rubio's think pat it would be a whole different like approach to it but at what my point still is this doesn't seem like it's going to stop anytime soon but the only solution is going to be the one that nobody wants and it's going to have to be literally go in there and get rid of all of

Vinnie

them by the way root and stem the poll that we ran right now with the audience and i'm going to come to you the poll says who would go harder at iran trump or rubio they put trump forty four rubio fifty six so even the audience thinks that rubio would go slightly harder on slightly not not a big again we don't know that we're purely speculating adam

Adam

your thoughts yeah i'm with you on this pbd i think what rubio would do different than trump he would not have signed that memorandum of understanding on june fourteenth let's be real here that memorandum of understanding was for one thing and one thing only it was sort of a trump birthday present to the world basically saying i got a deal done look at me listen we all knew that that deal wasn't getting done we all knew at some point that iran was gonna break everything that they basically shook their hand on and basically we gotta watch out like when iran shakes a deal shakes their hand they're probably doing this in the background so rubio probably would have been more of a pragmatic person trump is more of a deal break deal maker and deal breaker at the end of the day i think rubio would have gone super hard on these guys jd vance would

Vinnie

have been a little bit different we'll see what happened we'll see what happened here as we're going through it the reality of it is these are not the typical people you negotiate with they're just not and they're not going to keep any of their promises they're simply not they're wired in a very different way let me get to the next story here next door i want to get into is mamdani allegedly had a meeting to meet with the ambassador of iran it was on his calendar you know what mamdani said oh i'm sorry i didn't even know i didn't even know i had this meeting on my schedule oh wait i'm meeting with the ambassador yeah oh my god you know i have such a busy schedule i would have never had the meeting but you know what yeah we're not going to have the meeting why are you not going to have the meeting well because the state department shut down the meeting so if you want to pull up the story mamdani's official planned meeting with iran envoy shut down by the state department go a little bit lower if you can and zoom in a senior official in new york city mayor mamdani administration planned to have a meeting with iran's ambassador to the united nations before the state department reportedly intervened and a meeting was canceled commissioner ana maria leader of the mamdani administration's office of international affairs was scheduled to meet with iran's permanent representative united nations amir saeed irwani tuesday city general first report a us official familiar with the matter confirmed to fox news that the meeting had been scheduled the reported intervention marks the second known instance in recent weeks in which the trump administration has stepped in over madani's administration contact with foreign leaders highlighting growing federal scrutiny of new york city's international outreach under its new socialist mayor tom how big of a story

Pat

is this this is big and let me tell you why what's going on when this happens or when gavin newsom did the whole thing which is now four years ago with china you know and by the way by the way and swept all the homeless out of town stuck them on buses and sent them far enough away that they couldn't hitchhike or walk back until the chinese were gone and then put chinese flags up on there when a mayor does this and it's not just hey mister president you know i reach out to you mister president we're going to do an international trade conference it's going to be here in san francisco we have a lot of trade on here a lot of semiconductors but we're going to be doing all this we're cool right we're all right to do this we're going to have ambassadors and trade representatives and i come to you pat president and you would say to me okay you can do this this and this this this and this thanks for letting us know that's probably planned out a year year and a half in advance instead of we have proxy wars going on and let me explain what i mean so this is mandani a frickin proxy war against our own you know administration the same way gavin did it this is them trying to do things their way encourage favor with people that they want to have that's the outcome political he wants political allegiance and he wants funding he wants a lot of things he wants funding to come through the dark accounts back into pacs to help him that's what he's asking for he's asking for a lot of things in my opinion this is tom's observant opinion asking who he's asking iran and other dark sources of funding to come support him i'm that's my opinion i'm going there that's what i think i don't think it's just before oh this is just you know this is just the the camaraderie of muslims in here no no the aspirations they have are bigger listen to talib listen to what she was screaming into the microphone this their aspirations are bigger they are doing this and it's mayors basically running like a proxy war diplomatically against our own

Vinnie

administration yeah and you know this guy if there's one thing americans should be praying grateful for is the fact that this guy wasn't born in america because if he was born here you know what this guy would be he'd be the number one candidate for president ahead of everybody he's just too good on what he's doing and while this is taking place in new york another story comes out mandani's immigrant map omits irish italian jewish contributors to new york city new yorkers are criticizing socialist mayor mamdani's administration for touting a map celebrating the city's immigrant enclaves that omits the italian irish and the jewish communities that have been such integral parts of the big apple history mamdani's deputies promoted a new campaign in may to celebrate the city's ethnic neighborhoods with a map entitled new york city's immigrant enclaves that features thirty communities including a number of muslim communities such as yemeni pakistani egyptian african palestinian neighborhoods also represented are chinese korean albanian colombian dominican ecuadorian indian haitian polish and other neighborhoods but critics are ripping the map for ignoring if you want to pull that up a little bit so they can see it ignoring european neighborhoods that were the original little such as little italy or the long standing irish and jewish neighborhoods that helped build new york city throughout the late eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds queen republicans queen's republican councilmen councilwoman joanne arreola ripped the city hall for exclusionary graphics and told new york post that it appears mamdani doesn't think jews italians and irish count the post reported they were able to get a little bo tibet in there but what about the original little neighborhoods literally councilman arreola said and what about the areas like the woodlawn in the bronx which are home to plenty of irish immigrants do the irish italians not count for mayor's office state assemblyman kalman yeager bashed mamdani for erasing jews and he added mister mamdani erasing jews is an essential part of the brand part of his brand no surprise joseph sclesa founder of the italian american museum on mulberry street said the mayor's map is terrible mistake italian americans are still a major population in new york city to not recognize where italian americans came from and settled is a terrible mistake i don't understand why little italy isn't included adam your thoughts on this story i

Adam

mean what a fricking disgrace if i'm the average new yorker if i'm an italian right now and i just woke up and i was like are you trying to tell me that mamdani erased little italy i'd be going crazy right now i think a lot of italians voted for cuomo but the ones that voted for madani des grazia what are you talking about right here if there was any group of people who helped build new york to what it's become you gotta put italians at the top of the list then you got the jews then you got the irish and he conveniently left all three of them off the list but somehow the great mamdani the great wizard of communism he remembered conveniently little bangladesh little yemen and of course little palestine who can't forget the lovely time of year in little palestine click click boom the fact that this is what's going on in the modern day new york if you're a new yorker who's been born in new york and you're sitting around and being like yeah yeah yeah i like what's going on here you obviously don't care about your city and you obviously don't care about your country and the you know vinnie what's the one line from big pun back in the middle of

Tom

middle there were riddle some middle men who didn't do italy there you go

Adam

listen to some big pun before you end up in punish punishment land mom donnie okay get some big pun yeah

Vinnie

and by by the way you know you know andrew schultz had mamdani on and they did an interview with him

Tom

that was his homie they were glazing

Vinnie

all over him well they were interviewing no they loved what they had them on they had them on and it was a very positive supportive i'm willing to pay a little bit more taxes yeah but even andrew schultz this last weekend who was supportive of mamdani came out and said the following about mamdani saying seventy eight degrees this is what schultz had to say go forward when we say ac it's seventy two and

Tom

below

Vinnie

seventy two degrees and below you're even a little high with that one but i'll i'll let you rock i

Adam

know zoro was saying keep it at

Vinnie

seventy eight but this is this is america he was feeling a little too

Tom

good knicks at five he was like

Vinnie

off the high but he was wild just despite to him even suggestion our

Tom

ac blew out

Vinnie

it was cold for

Tom

a little bit out so you can

Vinnie

pause it right there i mean listen this is how it works you can you can i i i like certain people's personalities i don't have to like your ideas one could like and say you know i like mamdani's personality let's just say maybe andrew likes mamdani's personality but not policies no matter how much i like you it doesn't mean i have to support your policies and now it's hitting the city and now you're seeing things that they would do how that's going to impact so what i'm looking forward to seeing is how a lot of the people that were supporting this guy are now going to come out and say holy shit what the hell is going on are we going to sit here and just take it and i don't know if you guys are watching what happened while they're talking about you know millionaires and billionaires and all this stuff guess who's given themselves the biggest raise oh mandani comes out and says they're giving themselves he's giving himself an eighteen point two percent raise that's smart that's kind of fair right isn't that great you get to pick and choose how much taxpayers should give you money i'm going to give myself an eighteen point two percent raise go a little bit lower bill ackman's a zoom in a little bit if you can billionaire bill ackman questions new york city's mamdani on tuesday after a mayor appointed commission recommended an eighteen point two percent salary increase for the mayor but that's a mayor appointed commission so hey vinny can you please i'm gonna have my wife appoint her as the commission to dictate how much of a raise i deserve is what i'm gonna do what did my wife say i deserve i think she said you've done such a good job taxing everybody and ruin new york city i think we should raise your salary by eighteen point two percent oh my god well i didn't choose the raise it's a mayor appointed commission that chose this raise you know mamdani's appointed advisory commission is recommending an eighteen point two for himself and other elected officials because of inflation yet his self appointed rent guidelines board which is supposed to consider inflation in setting rents froze rents for two years ackman wrote on x a question for mayor how is this fair or appropriate this is the part with contradictions coming out vinnie where are you at with this you're

Tom

in new hampshire yeah but these are like okay with all these people with everybody that's disappointed now like andrew and everybody i know it's just it's something small but it's the air conditioner i know he's being it's funny and i get it he's a comedian but do you really think these people were that dumb not to know what a freaking self described socialist communist supporter of freaking terrorists are you guys surprised like that you can't be that dumb you're educated you guys are smart and remember it was like i'll pay the one percent i'll pay the two percent it keeps going up they're paying themselves money and then when people in his office are trying to meet with the ambassador of iran like what and it was made in error what are you talking about this is one of if not america's biggest enemies what are you trying to meet ben if it wasn't for the state department tom finding out if this was a democrat run country department of justice ran by democrats they wouldn't care and what are you meeting about what are you talking about and conor said something earlier today that kind of hit me pat when he said you're watching like a soft secession happening in new york right now because mamdani is acting like new york has its own country with its own foreign policy its own immigration policy own economic policy unless the federal government they need money then they go to the feds ok the goal isn't to work with the rest of america they're trying to take this one of the biggest cities the freaking city that never sleeps they're ruining this plate pat and they're fighting against this and when i tell people like this is the enemy from within and i'm telling you guys right now it's not an existential it's not happening right now but slowly start watching what these people are doing they hate america i watch an old clip of rashida talib and f you mother effers and they hate this country and if you're too blind to see it and you keep supporting and saying no they're they're caring for the little person they don't give a damn because their morals their beliefs don't align with ours they don't i'm sorry they hate this country all of them talk crap about this country and they're putting policies and people in charge to destroy us from within people keep saying the enemy's at the gate they're not at the gate they're inside in the couch

Pat

they're in the front yard they're on

Tom

the porch they're sitting on your couch

Vinnie

for sure they are for sure they are don't let it fool you and by the way and by the way here's what i want you to think about question for you guys and while i'm doing this i want you to search this okay okay can you go back to the chart of okay don't even go to it they're trying to raise the mayor's salary to what eighteen

Tom

point two percent eighteen point two percent

Vinnie

all right do you know what the salary of the mayor is right now

Tom

two hundred three hundred thousand dollars two

Vinnie

hundred fifty eight thousand dollars the eighteen point two percent put him around three hundred thousand dollars can you pull that chart up okay so so look if you look at that right there two hundred fifty eight with the new raise he would be at three oh five the public advocate would go from one hundred and eighty four to two hundred and eighteen the comp controller goes from two hundred and nine to two hundred and forty seven and then the borough president goes from one hundred and seventy nine to two hundred twelve okay now here's a question for you whose job is a bigger job mayors or jd vance jd vance whose job is a bigger job mayor mamdani's or pete hexet's pete hexet how about marco rubio or mandan marco it's not even guess what he makes more money than all three of them weird let me say the number here for you do you know the vice president's salary is two hundred thirty five thousand one hundred dollars mamdani makes more money than him do you know the secretary of state marco rubio makes two hundred fifty thousand dollars mamdani mayor of new york city makes more money than him do you know the secretary of defense pete hex said his salary is two hundred fifty thousand dollars mamdani makes eight thousand dollars more per year than the secretary of state and the secretary of defense and he makes twenty five thousand dollars more per year than the vice president of the united states that's that's did you just hear what i can't believe that right i can't believe it a job of a mayor makes more money than all these other guys and what they're doing so now who's got more heavyweight right there if you look at it to verify jd vice president two hundred thirty five golden secretary of state two hundred fifty secretary of defense two hundred twenty one but now it's at two hundred fifty six hundred mom donnie makes more money than all of these guys with the job that he has and they still want to take him to three hundred twenty and your thoughts before we go to the next story pbd you just

Adam

mentioned that mamdani his salary is going to be three hundred five three hundred five thousand i think is that what you said so there's a story behind the story there thank you mom donnie for everything you're doing i always give you credit your three hundred five thousand dollars salary is basically taking new york to record high rent we can roll the numbers and everybody's moving to the three hundred and five mia because of you so i just want to thank you mom donnie for everything you're doing did you see the news that rent is at an all time high yeah

Vinnie

if you want to pull that up

Adam

it said it's five thousand three hundred dollars that up it's almost like they don't understand supply and demand when there's not enough housing and there's high demand because people want to live in the city and then you implement this rent freeze and then the land the owners of these properties are basically saying yeah we're not going to fix this up because they can't charge any more rent so all of a sudden you have this stalemate and then rent becomes so freaking expensive meanwhile you go to any other random city in america the average us rent you know what i know what it is it's one thousand six hundred dollars you were asking people what the average rent was during the florida debate i think it was jay collins that got that right but at the end of the day mom donnie keep doing what you're doing keep basically marginalizing

Vinnie

the jews look at this chart and the jews got it out and sending let me show you manhattan average rent right now median market five thousand two hundred and ninety five brooklyn four thousand three hundred and fifty okay four thousand three hundred and fifty new york city housing affordability crisis is in defcon one we need to push harder on every front to address our housing shortage update zoning invest more city money in affordable units lower the time and cost city bureaucracy imposes on construction get thousands of vacant regulated units back on the market we need bold action you know who's that tweeting that can you go see who that is he is the comptroller of new york city weird so this is not like a regular guy who's nobody just tweeting something no no the comptroller is saying they're in issues by the way can you go to the story of a cnbc that came out saying the top ten worst states to live in go to this by the way you guys if you haven't seen this this is just funny to me so cnbc woke up and said let me go write a bullshit article titled top ten worst states to live in in america you ready look at this these are the ten worst states to live in twenty twenty six and the things they went off of was crime rates air quality health care access worker protection civil rights they they took out they took out one thing which i don't know they're not telling the truth there because i've seen the chart what it was another thing that they had in there was they were looking at what is the word they were like what is one of those dei words that they like to use inclusion inclusion no they were looking at they were looking at inclusivity inclusivity inclusion you're right inclusion so if you go a little bit lower look at the top one top ten worst states okay arkansas was number ten okay go to nine look notice a pattern with all these states are they red or blue keep going oklahoma's next red then they have alabama

Tom

okay that guy's depressed okay then they

Vinnie

got missouri keep going then they got utah very red then they got georgia keep going purple keep going louisiana keep going go a little faster indiana keep going then you got texas oh it's one of the worst states oh yeah for sure and i look at number one go to number one number one is tennessee tennessee is the lowest taxes all in out of all the states now can you do me a favor while they're doing this can you do me a favor and go type in twenty twenty five top ten best and worst states and net migration these are states that are gaining the most and losing the most type in top twenty twenty five no just do it on chat gbt twenty twenty five top ten twenty twenty five top ten states in best and worst net migration i want you to see this how the hell do you say these states are the worst states to move into in net migration net any t migration net migration so when you look at this chart no you already did twenty twenty five just just press enter there you go so top top ten states and net migration look what you'll notice here look what you'll notice here if you look at the best and the worst who do you think's the worst who do you think is the worst go a little bit lower go a little california best states is north carolina positive eighty four zero zero zero texas number two if texas is so bad and it's the second worst state why the hell are people moving are they dumb is that what you're saying cnbc south carolina's three tennessee's four so two out of the four states that they said is the worst their top two are in the top four then arizona georgia was on their list as the worst alabama was on their list as their worst florida idaho nevada now look at the worst look who's at the top four worst keep going lower you did the best and worst didn't you or just gave you the best okay so look at the worst if you look at the worst with a t you will notice number one is california minus two hundred and twenty nine new york minus one hundred and thirty eight illinois minus forty jersey minus thirty seven massachusetts minus thirty three louisiana fourteen maryland colorado hawaii connecticut are losing but no cnbc no no not at all you want to talk about texas and tennessee are the worst states why is there a stock exchange going to texas why is goldman sachs building a building there that's their second headquarters eight hundred thousand square feet why are all these major companies moving to texas tell us why tell us why cnbc oh inclusivity is bad and talk about that's why it's one of the main reasons really or is it yours can you actually go and see who the hell wrote this article go and see who wrote this article for cnbc i want to know who this person is and i can't wait to i just want to know who this person is who is this person scott cohen oh he's got a hashtag guys scott cohen zoom in a little bit journalist methodology go to his website i actually want to know where this guy went to school i can't wait is there any way we can find out where this guy went to school to say those are the top ten states because you know how they do it they'll take the they'll take the they'll take the chart and they'll say let's add these categories oh take that one out because it made california look bad oh take this one out no no add this thing in no let's add inclusivity well what chart do you want to use for inclusivity let's use this here let's use that here and then also okay so that's what it is yeah you know what make texas and tennessee look horrible you know how many people are moving to tennessee and they don't want anybody else to know that they're moving to tennessee you know how many people are living in tennessee and they don't want you to move to tennessee do you know how many people that are texans are hoping this article goes viral because they don't want the wrong type of people to move to texas a lot of people a lot of people so what did he do he was at npr university and what you i just want to know what

Tom

school i think he went to wisconsin university of wisconsin he went to wisconsin

Vinnie

good people come out of there but so i don't know maybe he's one

Tom

of the ones forty years experience journalism

Vinnie

since nineteen eighty one university of wisconsin maine east high school board of visitors school journalism yeah tom how do you process these types of nonsense top ten lists when they rank the two best states that a lot of people are moving into well i it's almost like

Pat

i don't need to process it you just did but i'll tell you i'll give you the why this is my observation tom's observation as to why these get written these are intentional political voice hit pieces they wake up in the morning and it's like hey look we need how do we how do we somehow throw shade for the american people they're trying to shade the people that aren't paying attention pat that watched cnbc they're trying to shade these red states and make them seem uninclusive and everything but you know what the reality is when people go to these states they have the same reaction that the visitors from europe and the world cup did oh my god texas brisket is good what buc ee's what an amazing thing what nice people look at the hospitality we get look at all this and so all they find it this is nothing more than a hit piece politically to throw shade on the success of the red states but you said it find and find an algorithm remember everybody used to pick on google algorithms hey google algorithms they won't give you a fair remember the accusations vinnie they won't give you a fair search on covid research on ivermectin research somebody's playing with the algorithm well the algorithm is this guy this guy who is now with npr monterey bay oh there's there's a neutral news source npr monterey bay and he wakes up and he says hey look we got to throw some shade at the other side pat so i'm going to write an article it's exactly as you say but what i'm adding to it my opinion my observation these things are intentional and they come from the political direction of the news directors up inside that is my observation that is my conclusion based on my own independent analysis i'm not accusing anybody of a crime what i'm accusing them of is is injecting personal editorial bias and calling for these adam your thoughts and

Adam

lining them up look this is one of those things that if you're solving for something you'll find some stat that agrees with basically whatever claim you're trying to make but what's the number one thing that everybody says is the number one issue anytime that it comes to an election what's the number one thing

Pat

the economy stupid it's the economy stupid

Adam

it's affordability so if you're talking about the least unaffordable states not all these other things air quality worker protections inclusiveness trans rights esg all these things if you're talking about the least affordable states there's the top five that's california hawaii massachusetts new york and new jersey now what do all these big beautiful states have in common they're all the big blue beautiful states so if you're if you're solving for affordability as the number one thing those are the states to avoid and pbd you hit the nail on the head net migration people are moving to texas people are certainly moving to florida and people are moving to tennessee so don't be fooled by these ridiculous stats because they clearly have an

Vinnie

agenda on them yeah vinnie any thoughts for you i'm good okay so there you have it all right so that's that story next story to get into is this this article that came out talking about university of chicago law school bans devices to reduce ai reliance and then it kind of coincides with the other story that shows a wake up call about ai cheating brown university professor says let me read both of them and then i'll tom i'll come to you mainly and then we'll go from there so the first story i want to get to is university of chicago decides they will they will ban first year law students from using iphones tablets and laptops in class beginning this fall seeking to ensure students learn to think critically strategically and independently without relying on artificial intelligence with ai disrupting higher education our commitment to rigorous legal education also must mean openness to even rapid adaption adaptation administrators say a willingness to rethink our practices is consistent with our law school's long history of innovation after a year of consultation with students faculty and law firm leaders legal technology executives and the broader university community administrators concluded that students must develop independent reasoning while preparing to use ai in legal practice so that's out now look at this one brown is going through the same thing brown university professor roberto serrano saw scores collapse between a take home midterm and an in person final which i'm glad they did that leading him to suspect widespread ai assisted cheating some students fell from perfect midterm scores to below twenty percent on the final serrano teaches welfare economics and social choice theory the midterm was administrated at home after a school shooter kill two students in december whoa the problem with this technology is that the cost of cheating has basically gone down to zero it's very easy for students to succumb to the temptation after serrano announced that the final would be held in person many previously high score students dropped the course did you hear devony so these guys scored a high number take home all of a sudden they're like no no we're doing it in school it's like oh drop the course why because they haven't been studying at all others who earned grades in high nineties on the midterm scored in the first fifties you scored nineties in a take home midterm you're scoring fifties in school are you surprised surrounding share the details with brown standing committee on the academic code on july eighth university spokesperson bryony clark said the committee would proceed according to the procedure and that brown treats every academic integrity allegation with the utmost seriousness tom your thoughts on

Pat

this well first of all i love both these stories for two very key reasons number one university of chicago law school and people may not think of it like this but law schools and mba schools business schools they want to protect the reputation and what they don't want is a bunch of people coming out zombies that don't know how to perform i mean pat how long would it take if you were doing a staff meeting and you're talking about strategy we got some challenges hey it's february we have some challenges we need to make a plan on this and everything people are sitting in your conference room how many of them are sitting there on on laptop or an email they're not we're talking about the numbers in front of us and try and make a decision if these people were were just ai zombies coming out mba school how long would it take you to figure that out pat not long fifteen minutes and be like you graduated from from harvard with a harvard mba and you can't come in here to this room and just speak intelligently form sentences and have your thoughts across and do that this you have to go back to your desk let ai do for it so brown is excuse me university of chicago they're concerned about number one the reputation of the school number two the ability of school to attract students i love what they're doing they're saying timeout put all those devices away let's talk about legal theory let's hear you reason let's hear you debate a fellow student the way you would in a courtroom the second is i love what happened at brown and there are people that have stepped out on this and have jumped on it to discuss it i love the fact that there was a student that got a ninety five point five on the midterm and a ninety five in person in class on the final and you know what he said the teacher stepped back and said the professor stepped back and said you know what i regarded that individual through observation throughout the semester as an excellent student and attentive in class and i felt that he would probably do well i was not guess what so he's observing him in class and then he gives him the in person final the guy goes okay let me take care of this boom ninety five and ninety five which means he didn't cheat on the midterm it's very very even then there was another student he said i liked equally well but the guy was somewhat less initiated and he had a fifty five in the midterm and a fifty five in the final guess what consistency maybe he's working two jobs maybe it was it was maybe he's struggling with the class but the two scores proved he was there i love these two stories because it's shining a light on it that ai may be able to do assimilated research for you ai may able to take some time we use it for prepping for podcasts here but when ai does the job for you it's not you and you're not getting smarter and you've got brown and you versus chicago both blue schools who are waking up to it and i

Vinnie

love it pat adam your thoughts on

Adam

this well the funniest thing that stuck out to me with this whole ai thing is did you see the line where they said professors will designate classroom scribes to take notes for first year classes you see that scribes they haven't used scribes since medieval times like what's i know people there's a lot of people out there that want to bring back the crusades i'm not advocating for that just yet but when we're using scribes in classrooms right now it's like maybe we've jumped the shark on this ai thing and pvd i know you're a big basketball fan for i'll tell you this i remember you know there's unfair advantages right so i remember when i was in ninth grade they put me with the middle school team to play i was scoring thirty points a game thirty points a game they're like dude you're crushing it they go okay now you're going to play with the high school kids i started averaging ten okay maybe i had an unfair advantage with the kids that are in middle school when you actually start competing and not using technology and unfair advantages basically cheating you're basically going to reversion of the mean so i think this is going to become inevitable whether it's medieval times crusades or taking away unfair advantages kids are going to have to put down the phone and actually learn in order to do their job moving forward

Vinnie

yeah there you go look i like that they're doing this and i don't set aside politics if if i'm taking a test home and i'm getting ninety five and i'm doing in school i'm doing that fifty what the hell you're teaching the kids to go to school if i'm a parent i'm like why am i sending my kids to college screw college i'm not even paying for this thing anymore parents get upset if they hear something like this all right let me get to the next story next story i want to get to is i got so many good stories to go to i'm trying to see which one to go to next let's go to the gavin newsom saying elon musk owes him things so i want you to see this video he's doing an interview and they're talking about his experience with elon musk and he says well you know he owes us a lot of success and you know where he's doing this he's doing it here and you know what he's doing it here you know what he's doing he's doing it here as if he hasn't already made enough enemies that he doesn't need help with there's two clips you have the clip because we send it to you one of them was you know is that the one so i want you to watch this clip and

Tom

can i warn people guys do me a favor if you're watching this don't let his hand gestures mesmerize you because you're going to lose the stuff that's coming out of his mouth try not to pay attention to his hands go

Vinnie

ahead elon musk look one of the great disappointments one of our one of the great innovators of our time i brought up edison before he's the edison of our time it breaks my heart i was the first you know one of the first teslas off the line i've been one of their biggest proponents supporters was regulation in california that created the conditions that allowed him to take the risk to become the multi billionaire maybe trillionaire that he's become including solarcity and some of the regulatory frameworks that launched elon musk and he launched this space now he's going to space and he's now turning his back not only in the state that promote him though he has no problem getting the r and d tax credits and moving his world headquarters on r and d here and having grok here and most of his talent here which is also interesting but right now he's allowing and i think this is trump not just elon musk he's going to allow the greatest ongoal in i think one of the most significant ongoles in the next decade is ceding the ev space to china they have seventy percent of the global ev market it's about statecraft with them it's about supply chains they're flooding the zone all around the globe including now right on the border into canada where they're gonna have forty nine thousand cars getting that tariff down there and it's a stack play it's a national security play and i really fear what's going to happen to american legacy automobile manufacturers elon was the one accelerating that now he's put the brakes on his own innovation in that space and now shifted to robotics human right there including thoughts

Pat

if you were in fact check on this we would have to do a twenty four hour podcast the number of things on there is just shocking so i'll sum it up as this this is gavin newsom clearly throwing shade on elon musk and trying it just really seems he's trying to take credit for the regulatory environment that somehow gave elon musk a blank canvas elon musk didn't have a dream to go to mars because of a blank canvas california gave him let me tell you ebay bought paypal at the end of twenty twenty two within seven months two thousand two within seven months two thousand three elon had launched tesla and then he took it public in twenty ten look at the amount of time it took do you think in seven months the state of california could have done anything no and by the way gavin newsom wasn't in sacramento in two thousand three when he built tesla gavin newsom when did he become governor was he governor in twenty ten when elon musk went public no good grief oh yeah but you know he's intimating that his regulation intimates there so i think this is disingenuous pat i'm not going to go on and on i'm going to say it's disingenuous it takes so many words to say it which tells you how much he's trying to stretch and morph the argument and i think this is an insult to entrepreneurs everywhere for you to sit back because guess what he's taking a page out of the old playbook and i'm going to quote somebody i'm going to quote somebody first of all you got a pack of salems okay and second of all you didn't build

Vinnie

that yeah that like your mic drop

Pat

moment no yeah that is i'm not trying to be funny i'm saying he's saying the same thing that obama said when you didn't build that i got

Vinnie

it tom you know you know what's annoying about this kind of stuff is how entitled politicians speak sound like when they talk that way how entitled they sound when they talk that way it is so flipping annoying when you hear them talking the way that they do as if like you owe them something you know this guy goes and creates all these jobs like yeah let me tell you oh stop it already stop it already good for elon for what he's doing newsom where he had another clip i don't know if you have the other clip with taxes do you have that one check this out he's getting a lot of people are saying he's getting nervous with this because how quickly try to redirect and put it on trump watch this you've had twenty years of my taxes yes i know you love taxes donald trump

Pat

well i am because that's why i've released all

Vinnie

my taxes for debt decades and you will have all those new taxes yeah because i have no reason why you

Adam

haven't gotten them already so i have

Tom

no problem he's just brushing people off

Vinnie

yeah i mean look when you has he actually released his taxes for twenty years because if he has why is he getting so nervous yeah you know what i'm saying i'm sure he has as a governor but he just kind of looked a little bit uncomfortable you know the allegation with the fact that his wife allegedly took a lot of money from the charity i don't know what the number was two point eight million two point eight or something like that no by the way the report says gavin newsom has not released twenty years of his taxes newsom released multiple years of tax returns during his political career including filing covering five years through twenty twenty when he ran for reelection california in those disclosed newsom and his wife jennifer siebel newsom reported one and a half million dollar income in twenty twenty and paid about four hundred eighty in taxes newsom has pledged to release his taxes every year in office but he has not made additional return public since twenty twenty so he's lying he hasn't released his taxes since twenty twenty and what was the one report was it the two point eight million dollars is it the two point eight million dollars that we saw i think so

Tom

with the wife with the diaper the

Pat

diaper situation the most advanced diapers of all time by according to their price

Vinnie

i think i saw that she got paid so so then that's why he's getting nervous because if you did release your taxes why would you be so nervous you don't have to be nervous so now we know he hasn't released his taxes during yavinoism yes there has been claims involving amounts in the millions but the details matter the two point eight million dollars figure appears to refer to money connected to her nonprofit work and related entities over time not a single simple salary paid to her personally irs filings show she received compensation from nonprofit one analysis reported that her total compensation from the organization at about one point eight million dollars from twenty eleven to twenty twenty four and then there's some numbers that are two point eight to three point seven million but just look you know what the tax situation is if he's good he's good i mean the what do you call it elections coming around the corner next couple years he's got to be ready for it i will tell you this though for the state of texas you know we made four hats for different states can you go and show those hats i sent to you for the people that are proud floridians these hats were on fire at the gubernatorial debate it's your hat future looks brighter on the front and your state if you can go next so they can see the florida on the side this is one of the no on that yeah just go to the next slide go go to the next slide go to the next one to show florida on the side right i don't know if you see it boom yeah florida there and then we have three other states we have california we have texas if you can go to texas reason why i want texas to get some love look at that one of the hottest items we got is this here because people proudly say future looks bright living in texas to the people in california and new york you know i got a yankees gold chain that my wife got me for my birthday gangster and i've had this for a few years and i'm wearing a yankees jacket i want to see new york succeed are you flipping and i lived in california for twenty four years every one of these states i have a direct relationship with so if you are proud floridian proud texan proud californian or proud new york go up there and represent these hats can we put the link below and by the way if you go to vtmerch dot com just put the texas in the search the hats will come up like this anyways this let's get to the next story next story i want to get into is a story about let me see which one we should go to i got i got quite a few good stories to get into do we want to go into what marco rubio did let's go into marco rubio vinny i'm going to come to you with this one last week we reported on a story that vinnie brought to us a man had raped a ten year old and i'm like there's no way this story is true and a guy comes out and says this is our culture and as we got deeper you know what we learned about the story the man who raped the ten year old married the ten year old sister and later on in life the sister said i don't want to judge him we've moved on our family is doing great we want to do nothing about that wait what and then the governor tim waltz allegedly pardons

Tom

him he pardons him so he doesn't have to get deported back once they

Vinnie

keep him here yes and this guy's from where laos laos so marco rubio suddenly people forget about the story like wait this is it marco rubio's like no no no no no that ten year old girl that was raped who says now he doesn't need to be held accountable you live in america we have laws here and we protect people here and this is what marco rubio had to say go for it just

Adam

Pat

a foreign national was shielded from deportation

Adam

by the governor of minnesota laotian national tu li vang was convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a ten year old girl in the state of minnesota he even

Pat

tried to pay his victim for her

Adam

silence and he called his heinous crimes

Pat

a minor thing just days before this

Adam

their elected leaders to live alongside foreign

Pat

sex criminals who have no right to

begin with to reside in our country

Pat

this administration will always stand with the american people people and defend them from

Tom

violent criminals and can you do me a favor pat umberto can you show what tim wall said about it tim walls is sitting there guys and saying that he feels sorry he feels sorry that he goes i find no reason how it's safer like you i i it's crazy that we're in this ai world i have to keep checking if this is fake or if it's real and this is a real clip of him mind you guys this is a guy that repeatedly he did so much bad stuff to this child that when i go to chat gbt and i'm trying to help them word my stuff and structure my thing it says this content can't be shown for safety reasons chad gbt won't even let me research this topic because it's so bad and this is what tim walls's attitude is towards this child rapist go ahead this

Vinnie

is about the guy we just this is about the guy and this is two weeks ago yes go for it thanks case i i would state this that i can find no reason how minnesota will be safer or better if mister vang is deported to a country he has not been to since he

Tom

was a child look can you stop that right there do you is everybody listening to what the hell he said i don't see how america is going to be safer without a child rapist patent i've talked about this before guys alcoholism all this stuff you still have that disease like i'm going to be i'm going to be a drinker i'm not drinking but it's still in me you know what i'm saying you have temptation but for me it's almost all gone if your thing is child rape and molestation and pedophilia that doesn't just go for you don't go to an aa meeting you're like yeah i'm recovering no no that stays with you forever and his attitude is i want to keep this person here and not send the laos because it's going to be unsafe for him is that crazy and what really really scares the hell out of me is this guy tim walls was a couple of swing states away pat from becoming the vice president of the united states and we keep talking about enemies from foreign and domestic this is the people where does this guy

Vinnie

live by the way he was somewhere in minnesota i'm telling you like if this guy like i already know i

Tom

i already know where you're going this

Vinnie

this this this is look at him pat this is you know you know there's got to be a game i can't even give this too crazy of a game there's got to be a game board for people like this to you know you know you know how you watch that show is it squid games squid games and then what's the other one the squid games and there's another game like that that's on tv that's like people like to watch where you know survivor or whatever you make it or you don't make it hunger games hunger games take these types of people and move them to a country that is laws are different than here and do a real life squid game yeah i mean what's the point of this forget about them at least turn it into entertainment and watch them go through it instead of having him sit here yep maybe squid games whoever came up with that idea is a good idea to take some of these people like this for others to say dude i don't ever want to be in that game yeah exactly i don't ever want to be in that game go go for taking doing what you're doing to that ten year old kid and then later on and he was an adult when he did that of course

Tom

he was but so my question is to you pat you're a father living in minnesota and you hear your governor saying wait wait wait this child rapist i'm not gonna send him back home he's safer here yeah is that boggle

Vinnie

anybody else let me get to the next story alien versus predator next story the next story i want to get to is very different story that we have as we've been going through so should we go into the world cup or not yet nah i'm not going to go into the world cup let me get to let me get to the coo story so check this out it's a great story chipotle ceo uses team dinners to spot potential leaders and there are four qualities he looks for i actually like this there's four qualities he looks for okay so chipotle ceo jason kidd no relation to the other jason kidd basketball player visits about a dozen stores each week ending his days with roughly ninety minute dinners attended by three hundred four his regional employees the meal helps strengthen operations reveals employees careers ambitions and identifies candidates for internal promotion we're constantly identifying internal team talent during these visits seeing how people show up and seeing how they react chipotle promoted twenty three thousand workers last year including all of its new regional vice presidents as of march the chain employed more than one hundred thirty five thousand people across four thousand one hundred locations and plan to open as many as three hundred seventy new restaurants this year kids who joined chipotle last year after serving as taco bell coo looks for four qualities and potential leaders first they care for colleagues and collaborate effectively at the end of the day we run a people business so you need to make sure you take care of your own people collaborations and a relationship building become increasingly important as employees move into senior role number two strong strong candidates who own the outcome they take they take responsibility for results whether positive or negative and assess their performance honestly if somebody can own the outcome of what they're doing they're likely going to be a good leader number three they anticipate problems this is like our language i'm loving what he's saying here they anticipate problems instead of merely reacting we don't need firefighters we need people who could be ahead of the issues and anticipate what's going on and last but not least they solve problems rather than simply identifying them restaurant operations inevitably produce difficulties and effective leaders arrive with solutions instead of raising concerns by the way this when you think about so if you really one of them is what colleague collaborate effectively they own the outcome they anticipate problems instead of just reporting it and last but not least they solve problems instead of just identifying it so for the last twenty some years one of the things i used to do when we first started our insurance company is and i told you this story i think maybe i told you this last week every tuesday night i would cook for my guys so we would finish our sales meeting at the office and tuesday night when it's over with people would come to my house and i would ask people to bring their wives or bring their family so we had this place and i'm making my famous chicken barbecue that i do which is legendary you age backwards a lot of people say when you eat it you age backwards i love you actually get younger when i used to make this barbecue in my apartment twenty five years ago everybody in the community would show up because they could smell it can i get a piece and i'd say here take a piece here it was just phenomenal but anyways i'm cooking and you know what it is when i'm cooking i'm talking to people so hey tell me how long you guys been together oh wow okay so what do you do right now what do you think about this insurance thing he's trying to do i don't really think it's going to work do you think really works what's your concern about working and not working what are your dreams i said well we'd like to one day how long you guys been married twelve years did you think twelve years ago when you guys got married you would be in the situation you are right now financially no never thought that okay so what did you think life would look like after being married for twelve years i thought twelve years later we would be in da da da da da okay so if you don't do anything differently now what's life going to look like twelve years from now oh probably the same so what alternatives do you have what choices not a lot so okay so maybe this is something you ought to entertain and support your husband yeah that does kind of make sense and then we would have that conversation then i would be like oh that guy's wife i like because she's positive she's supportive oh she is super negative you can pray for him nothing's gonna happen with him because she is such a negative so this model of getting to know your guys just last week was it last week when i was making the omelets for people i don't know what it was yeah yeah yeah maybe a week ago week and a half ago i'm making omelets i made i made a hundred omelets that day for two hours i'm not gonna

Tom

front they were pretty and you know

Vinnie

what was the one thing about making the omelets every omelette takes about two minutes to make takes about a minute and a half to make you know what time i had i had a minute and a half to two minutes to get to know you so where are you from what's your background how long you been with us what do you do here i'm an engineer of yours what else do you do i think more leaders need to get hands on to get to know their people effectively and by the way i'm going to give a book recommendation to you guys right now this is a book that anybody that reports directly to bezos has to read you ready the book is called the gold it sold over ten million copies it's i recommend you buy this book and buy the audiobook and listen to the audiobook while you're reading the book it's a ridiculous book to read it's a ridiculous book to read on operating and the guy the story of the guy in the book he's going through marital issues his wife leaves him while he's operating so it depicts the exact challenges that a person goes through who is trying to be a good executive good person running a company that there's a lot of additional moving parts and stuff that happens that you're not aware of so i highly recommend reading this book i got another one here i'll recommend to you here in a minute as well but as a coo or ceo if you don't get to learn stories about your guys long term and you don't find out who the stars are sometimes stars will be hidden underneath a shielding manager that doesn't want you to know that the real star is under that person like whoa we would have never found out about that person and you have to overlap them them you have to overlap them or else there's going to be so much politics taking place and you'll continue losing good people year after year end that's not a good thing for you to do i want to get to the next story next story is and by the way tom i'll give you something here because you as a coo for the last twenty years you've been very good at i've watched you personally develop some incredible leaders yourself you've been instrumental in the way you've helped with morale becoming a better executive whether it's tikram whether it's mario whether it's a lot of different people what are some things you do when you log i mean some of the people that tom had ended up becoming a cmo of snapchat i mean the people that tom's worked with the last thirty forty years became players what would you say you look for when you're developing people on your team i look at it

Pat

adaptability and ability to learn secondary the first thing i look for is just people that are really passionate and sharp about their skills if they're passionate and sharp about it they're constantly honing it they're constantly trying to be better that's the individual part but then i want to look at it adaptability and learn because i give people frameworks hey if you're going to be a leader over here here's the framework that you have to do this is what you have to do as a leader you have to lead people and one of the phrases i give to people i says look it can't get done by you it's got to get done through you through a larger team not by you but through you that's the leadership development and if they'll adapt and they'll learn and they'll apply then i can take somebody that's got good technical skills like meral was phenomenal with commission she was great with finance great with focus and i said look i think you could influence so much more because where you're going get it done not by you but through you and then influence the people while maintaining the culture that you're under the other part that i really focus on people as i say look you've chosen to be here wherever here is whether that is jamdat back in two thousand four or whether that's php or that's valuetainment or bethdavit consulting and there are cultures there are you bought into what this organization wants to do because that's not about tom developing you that's are you bought into this and then i can run with that because i'm working with and for you and as soon as they commit to that and i says okay then i think you're going to be successful here but then it's a million little things as

Vinnie

you walk the road yeah and i've seen you go through it and it's the tom's ability to project manage is phenomenal we you know we're off site so we're doing stuff here preparation podcast one of the things i'll always do with jake i'll say jake give me the entire list checklist of everything we need to do and he'll come in and boom boom boom boom boom boom and if we don't have checklists created to get certain things knocked out of the way we're always we're missing a wire we're missing this we're missing a that we're missing this no checklist put the stuff together so you don't have to go through it as you're building it but major shout out and prayer to moral and her family they had a very unfortunate situation this past weekend that was tough for all of us to go through but our prayer and love is with that entire family we love them and just so you know we're thinking about you all the time and we love you guys we love that entire kishish and beckham family one of the most special families i met in my life such a special group of people anyways okay let's go to the next story next story i want to get into is something that has to do with leadership and i want to address and i kind of like this story it has to do with world cup but it's different and it's complicated and say very very complex situation so the world cup matches we watch we saw what happened so let's kind of go through a couple of them right so who got kicked out so you know england beats norway england beats norway and holland which by the way if you watch that game there's a clip that you have where this one teammate of holland could have passed to him twice he didn't there's all this commentary afterwards the clip we're playing is from a fan so we can show it it's not a clip from espn so i want you to see this clip here this right here is alexander solrath who is going in and and look who is wide open who do you see is wide open pass he's

Tom

the look at him oh my god

Vinnie

keep the freaking pass no he wants so guess what he wants to be the scorer and then holland's like what are you doing and by the way in the post game interview he even said we could have made some better decisions you can tell he's defeated give me the flip there's a reason why he's the number three scorer in his first world cup for norway all he had to do was pass this goes overtime who knows what happens so who ends up winning england and by the way there's a few people that won millions if not tens of millions of new fans holland is probably at the top of that list messi's always had him ronaldo's always had it vizinio is the one that probably won the most the goalie's like holy who is this guy now it's going and remind me but let me tell you what's going on here that's very interesting so no one's talking about everyone's saying spain's gonna win it france is going to win it argentina's going to win it you know who no one's talking about no one's talking about england they're not talking about england you know who's england about to face argentina and guess what you know when's the last time they faced it's the hand of god hand of god you know which goal i'm if we if they had var back in the days argentina ain't winning the world cup just so you know that it would have been a hand of god so check this out the coach of england is the third non british coach they've ever had third non british coach i've ever had and uk england they have two of the top five biggest scores in this world cup in england kane and bellingham if i'm saying it correctly correct me there jake if i'm not saying it correctly okay while this is going on england in twenty twenty five decides to go get this coach his name is thomas tuchel to kill to kill however you want to pronounce it and this guy just to kind of give you his resume he was a soccer player as a kid he was a defender his father coached him he tried to go pro he played some minor league type of soccer stuff twenty twenty five at twenty five years old he gets an injury he decides to go into business and then he goes and becomes a bartender while he's trying to be a coach and then eventually he gets the opportunity he's fifty two years old later on after retiring he ends up coaching and he ends up winning his first major trophy with borussia dortmund lifting germany cup in twenty seventeen then at psg he won league one then took psg to their first ever championship league final in twenty twenty they lost to bayern munich a team that he beat when he was with dortmund then he becomes a champions league winner with chelsea in twenty twenty one beating manchester city in the final this is a legit coach here okay then he wants the uf efa super cup and fifa world cup with chelsea in twenty twenty one then he's named the fifa coach of the year in twenty twenty one now he says reputation this is the part that gets tricky and it's all about leadership and business he's got a reputation of being a tactician being a perfectionist and super demanding with his players super demanding with his players which you know what ends up happening because of this personality that he has they win the game when they win the game he doesn't sound like a coach that is happy about them winning the game and he kind of calls out the team and bellingham didn't like it this is what the coach had to say and then i'll show you what bellingham had to say go forward

Tom

there's no mentality problem this is pure

Vinnie

mentality this is a dangerous coach for

Tom

argentina mentality you can bottle it up and sell it this is yeah so why is the prime for mentality we

Vinnie

made life very very difficult for day

Tom

one yes the result is fantastic we're

Vinnie

in the last four it's amazing but not happy with the performance can you

Tom

imagine ever since

Adam

again the commitment is

Vinnie

there but we made life very very difficult for us in the in the way we played how we played sloppy

Tom

lot of technical mistakes not fast enough

Vinnie

not repetitive enough we were lucky today

Adam

was that the occasion getting to the

Pat

players i don't know it's just mentality

Vinnie

i want you to pause right here pause right here okay so he's the kind of coach that is a super annoying coach for players but a great coach if you're the country or the team that's hiring that coach by the way do you know each team each job that he had i think he had a falling out disagreement or got fired after they won the chelsea championship two months later he got fired he left because of disagreements with management so this is a very difficult guy so then watch what bellingham says bellingham knows so imagine you just won and you scored two and you just scored two goals back to back i think i don't know how many people have scored back to back two goals in that much of a elimination run i think he's one of only two players that's ever done this so it's not like he did something small and look what happens to him look what he says look what the guy asks and look what he says go forward thomas has

Pat

just been quite critical of the performance

Vinnie

after the game does that show the

Pat

standards that he expects the standards you

Tom

guys expect of each other and maybe that there's more to come from the

Vinnie

team maybe but maybe he doesn't know what it what it's like to play in those of kinds of conditions against erling harland odegaard noosa sorloth you know that's that's not an easy team he doesn't know you know i think we've tried to create a positive environment we should continue that going into the the final four i can't speak highly enough for the lads you're not going to win every game popping the ball and

Pat

making a thousand passes sometimes you have

Vinnie

to win dirty and we've done that again tonight so now you hear something like that okay and then the coach is asked again and again in a different interview i'm not going to play that he's still saying we're not there yet you know who should be worried argentina should be worried i was just going to say all i'm saying that's what i'm saying all i'm saying to you is you don't ever want the opposing team to have a coach like that you don't ever want and by the way typically coaches like that that create that much pressure bellingham and him may not be able to play together twice this may only happen one time england may end up winning the world cup this year because they got a psycho coach like that i think so to get a person like that demanding where the freaking guy scores two goals and after the game he's like you look at his face he looks disgusted look at bellingham's face he looks go a little bit that's not bellingham go a little bit he looks disgusted yeah he's like i know you're gonna ask me this shitty question i don't want to answer it so my wild card to everybody out there here we go look i i want france or argentina i want a rematch but i tell you this coach this coach and this team is this coach is a real coach this team is a real team if you think for a second england's gonna walk through england and you know argentina is going to walk through england i i think you have a you have another thing coming i i hope argentina is aware and paranoid enough of what these guys are capable of doing

Pat

the coach's mentality reminds me i have only one thing to say pat the coach's mentality reminds me of one thing that both you and i hold close to our heart when i hear him talk you know what i hear in my head job's not finished that's right

Vinnie

that's right but but that's that's a tough type of person to work with or play so yeah to work with to play with any of that stuff if you can have the tolerance you will win a lot of championships but you have to be willing to have the same size of and by the way if they win you realize what happens if england wins oh if england beats argentina then england beats france or spain holy yeah again full disclosure i have one of mbappe's best cards i bought five years ago for a quarter of a million dollars financially yeah of course i want to see argentina france but i like the coach of england

Tom

and can we be honest because we've watched how many games at this point i don't and i know we have a bunch of people around us that love messi and they don't have it this year they don't have it this year england no no i don't think

Vinnie

argentina has it yeah yeah don't get

Tom

guys messi to me is the best he doesn't have the attitude of cristiano ronaldo posting old school twenty sixteen stuff or whatever i'm just telling you guys because we watch every game france is having fun and bape is electrifying they're like enjoying the game at the end of the day guys it's a game if you're not having fun if you're just like oh you're not going to

Vinnie

win mbappe looks and france is the only team that looks like it's superior

Tom

to everybody else a thousand percent but pat personally i love this type of attitude from a head coach think about it they're sending singing wonder wall and having a great time you haven't won anything i want a coach to be like yo yo we made this many mistakes and it's not like he's lying check the tapes they were playing a little bit you know loose and you know not fouling at the wrong time or playing lazy like i want that you don't want anybody kissing your butt and you're down the four i think it's good pen i like that tension because now you know what's going to happen bellingham has a little frickin grudge now he's going to go out there like okay you want to play games i'm going to score three goals if

Vinnie

bellingham gets two goals again oh my god back to back to back in elimination it's one of the greatest single performances in the elimination round ever by players so adam any any insight from

Adam

you well i'll tell you from experience you want to know the most annoying person to work for or be coached by is someone with high standards it is so annoying and demanding and someone with high standards will make you question everything but here's what i've learned the coach with high standards the leader with high standards will get more out of you will get more out of the people that he that work for him or that play for him than any other coach and believe me i know from experience and i'm not even talking about upbd all my sports i'm just saying every time that i've had a coach in school anytime there's like oh he's he's a player's coach he's a player's coach but you can be likable and the people like playing for you but you don't necessarily win the coaches that have gotten the most out of me and i played college football i played basketball high school basketball everything above the guy who you're like oh my god would this guy just leave me

Vinnie

alone run a poll that guy is

Adam

going to get the most out of

Vinnie

you run a poll to see who the audience thinks is going to win the world cup argentina england france or what's the last one i have spain spain can i get the most most boring team to watch play i just can't do spain it's so flipping boring it's like it's like watching the twenty nineteen ninety san antonio spurs or or the early nineties cavs with mark price and craig elon brad doherty and just a boring team to watch but before we watch spain end up winning the whole thing before i'm about to get all these minutes from spaniards upset at me because lamila mall is going to be passing up everybody but stop it

Tom

okay if you had to guess right now from our audience what percentage is going to be who's going to be

Vinnie

number one and two i think number one will be argentina i think number two will be france i think it'll be because of what i just said influence england a little bit and then i think it'll be spain but let's

Tom

see i'm gonna i'm gonna say france our audience france argentina england spain well

Vinnie

but you know if we put portugal some people would have voted for even though they're out portugal fans are delusional fans and you love them they're good people but my gosh who's first oh they put france first argentina second england third spain last there's something about spain that's just boring as hell they're right

Tom

they're right look at that francis one

Vinnie

argentina two there you go england let's go all right okay i i just want to see a rematch i just want to see a rematch but coaches like that man i can't wait all right let's do let's do let's do two other stories and a wrap up again folks your brother ad i told you stick around it's it's a health matter it's the last thing we're going to look at it's it's very important but the first thing i want to get into is the following so conor mcgregor everybody was waiting for this five year of him not fighting oh my god conor's gonna fight holloway and you know what everybody was looking forward this this side let's go bam bam bam bam going back and forth and then next thing you know we're sitting there and you know everybody's up you know it's argentina games going on while this is going to which one should we watch we're watching the fight on the phone and we're watching the game on tv because the game is more important than the fight and then all of a sudden boom five seconds it's over what what happened there and then the speculation started four days ago he went and saw a doctor with his leg and you can we can't show that clip by the way we cannot show that clip no that's the one right there no no you have it right there where he's walking into is that

Tom

this is hollywood fix conor mcgregor was

Vinnie

seen walking into newport four days before can you check with ai to see holly pain management clinic do me a favor and check to see can you go on the bottom of it and see if this is true the bottom of the tree yeah typically people will do it but if you want to do it your way it looks pretty real okay so please clarify verify claims okay so some people said is there already community note and this video kind of appears normal with no visible limp reports confirm his leg injury occurred during the opening minute of the fight so he looks fine by the way anybody would go there right before a fight as well it's not like he is limping to me he looks normal a lot of people said he looked bad here now pre fight he was standing there he was kind of you know having a hard time standing on one of the legs but then while he was practicing he was kicking so it's not like he wasn't kicking and throwing kicks in the back you know just preparing for the fight fight and then i'll write the go a little bit lower and i don't know if we can show that or not that's the part where you know yeah he won't

Tom

put any weight on that yeah he

Vinnie

won't put any weight on the right one so that's when people are like well we knew and then fight starts and then mgk which i don't know if you guys know the beef with mgk and that's the shattering of the leg you see that's what no no

Tom

that's not it that's not it is

Vinnie

that the one is there another one no because i saw a picture of what that was not the one no why are you teasing us with stuff

Tom

yeah it looks like somebody put a shotgun that's a joke i see you

Vinnie

went a little bit higher i saw it for a split second what it was that was a big joke yeah hence so anyways so that happens and you know a lot of people come out and they knew he had to get in the ring to get paid thirty million dollars yeah he doesn't step foot in there he doesn't get his thirty he has to get in there to get his thirty million dollars so the world was looking forward to it mgk who had issues in the past with eminem and which by the way he made a video responding to eminem and then eminem responded back and i think it was over from there but here's mgk at conor go ahead i'm

Tom

aware i did a post yesterday and i should probably apologize for absolutely nothing homie this dude that's how beef works we don't like each other everyone's saying oh you commented on his age he's only one year older than you about his knees hey guess what he don't

Pat

age the same saying my knees are

Tom

awesome oh you wouldn't say it to his face i already did that's why a picture exists of this little leprechaun punching up and missing me and me not flinching where the is the rest of the footage where we tossed this little guy like a piece of dirty draws across the red carpet that's why all the footage starts with him far away buddy you look like a drunk ugly extra in a sherlock holmes movie what in the nineteen thirty four am i looking at fix your face holy oh that's mean why are you kicking

Vinnie

him while he's down dude fuck this

Tom

guy when he's down up sideways while

Vinnie

i'm peeing you know what ok can

Adam

i please go pbd go ahead go ahead all right this is the problem with internet culture does anyone think that if two of these two guys were in a room together machine gun kelly who's probably never shot a gun in his life paints his fingernails pink yes he's banging a hot chick i'll give him that sorry for the kids out there does anybody think if you drop these two guys in an alley by themselves that mgk would be walking talking speaking or living nobody body it's so easy you know drake famously said the line when trigger fingers turned to twitter fingers this guy is a fake tough guy talking about one of the most decorated likable greatest champions of all time in the ufc and mma the fact that he's taking away connor's shine let me tell you and took it away from him is ridiculous this should be about conor you know what's going on the greatest who's ever done it okay

Vinnie

let's play a game way too aggressive here's a game for you ruined his knee ruined the fight what are the

Adam

chances shot his mouth what are the

Vinnie

chances that conor and mgk are going to see each other at some kind of a party or an event for sure and what are the chances what are the chances conor beats the living crap out of him he's a father of three kids now what are the chances he does that you know what i would do if i'm conor right now i would do the following i would say mgk please quote tweet this that the next time i see you in the streets or at an event that if i beat the living crap out of you you don't sue me can you please quote retweet this so the public knows and it's almost like you're being held harmless from a lawsuit

Tom

on site i would be tweeting that

Vinnie

if i'm connor right now because the moment it happens that left is coming it's over it's over you know what's heartbreaking about this is some of the greatest ufc moments ever was with conor yep when he fought mayweather non ufc boxing the way he did what he did unbelievable when he fought khabib the greatest i mean that was like a of course the match neither one of them ended the way when he fought diaz both of them the first one the second one do you know i think five out of the top five biggest pay per views when they used to do pay per views is all connor i don't know if you know this or not jose aldo this guy changed the game he made a few hundred million dollars in one of the interviews he's doing i don't know if you have it or not if you type in connor jesus they're asking and say does the game change you does the game change you and he says of course it does of course it does is this the interview yes this is it i just man play this clip if you can go from the beginning watch this go forward what does

Tom

your catholic faith mean to you and

Vinnie

how important was it to your comeback and preparation for this fight it is

Tom

everything in my life i have mountain moving faith and i am more than a conqueror in jesus i am an

Vinnie

heir of the royal family an heir

Tom

of the royal estate all of god's

Pat

promises are yes and amen in christ

Tom

and apply to me it is no

Vinnie

longer i who lives but christ who

Tom

lives in i love it all glory to god i love it i freaking love him

Vinnie

by the way can you go to the other thing when he says did the game change you type in counter interview no you just stay where you are no just stay where i go back to x where you were at go back to where you were at where were you you just lost yourself go back to where you were at and go to the top and just remove mcgregor and just type in conor interview just type in interview yeah and so if you see this here in one of the interviews he's going i hope you find it go a little bit lower and there's a clip did the game change you and his answer is such a beautiful answer of what he gives anyways vinny any

Tom

thoughts here well just i mean he did a post game too pat where he goes the next day because the fight was saturday he said he's going to church on sunday i mean this is heartbreaking for me because i've i followed conor mcgregor's career pat when he was fighting in freaking ireland and a girl that i used to know very very well in california i won't even say her name she when he started blowing up and started doing the ufc unleash and he got the fight with jose aldo and following up to the fight then he started blowing up she's like oh my god this is the guy yeah play this clip watch this

Pat

clip into the trap watch this do you feel like you fell into the

Vinnie

trap that so many fighters do with fame and money obviously obviously you know twenty seventeen double weight world champion floyd mayweather banked and then i launched an

Tom

irish whiskey i didn't drink heavily if at all and that time of my

Pat

life i was an athlete at the

Tom

top of my game next thing you notice thousands upon thousands of bottles in

Vinnie

my garage sell this connor okay i'd leave my property in with two bottles

Pat

under my arm and that was it

Tom

i was caught god gave me these

Vinnie

lessons that's it i was trapped and

Tom

caught and it is what it is

Vinnie

i trust in god i trust in my journey and i trust in the truth the world is against the truth then i am against the world that is where i stand let me tell you i'm telling you god willing this guy stays healthy he's not done with his life whatever he does next it's going to be something big and it's not even going to be something he's ready for right now it could be political it could be back with his country but if we know the war that's about to come and you're seeing it happen in uk in europe and all these other places and it's going to come to us as well you're going to need some crazies like that to go to war you're going to need some crazies like that and he's going to play a very important role for this next phase we're about to go through which by the way i'm certain is coming the next couple decades i am certain that war is coming and people like him are going to unite and realize who the enemy is and i think he's had some big fights but i don't think his biggest fight he's had yet i think he's gonna have his biggest fight in his life god willing if he stays healthy and stays positive good things you mean politically yeah politically politically that's gonna need they need it i think he's gonna they need it anyways let's get to the last story before we wrap up the last thing i want to show is the following so here's a public warning to anybody above eighty years old folks we're really concerned for you can you just pause it for for real quick before we get to it if you're above eighty look i mean chances are you're probably going to run into a bison somewhere some are slim some would say it would never happen but let's just say it does i want you to watch this a tourist was seriously injured because he was trying to take a video of this bison and then he ended up flying eight feet in air which by the way i want you to brace for impact from laughing this is not necessary but laugh

Tom

vinny we're already doing it hold on you know why though pat but yeah it's mating in he's in testosterone mode they know what they're doing by the way it's a picnic table if there's

Vinnie

anybody that knows what not to do when you're in the mating season is an eighty year old male yeah gentlemen if you're watching this you know when you're in the mood and somebody bothers you what are we capable of doing some very bad things so i want you to watch this and again brace for impact kids you know just parents at your own risk go ahead play the clip eighty year olds man you got to look out for them sometimes
