Pat

30 seconds. Did you ever think you were making.

PBD

Adam?

Pat

What's your point?

PBD

The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever saw.

Vinnie

It's right here.

Pat

You are 1 of 1 My son's right about.

PBD

I don't think I've ever said this before. Okay, I think we're officially live. We have one of our guys, Adam, who happens to be out of Jerusalem. Hopefully these guys can figure out the audio in Jerusalem.

Vinnie

Yeah.

PBD

With all the high IQ money, all the stuff they got going on, they can't figure out it is what it is. We'll figure it out.

Adam

Nobody's gonna be more anti semitic than me. If my tech guys don't figure out,

PBD

they go figure it out. Telling you right now, ladies and gentlemen, we'll see.

Pat

Anyway, we're not New York. Rhode island has got great. We got this here. I don't understand.

PBD

We got a lot of great stories to go through. Tom had to plug in the Rhode island thing real quick, but we got a lot of stories to go through for all of you Die Hard Ronaldo fans who are celebrating this weekend to have watched Messi lose. I think Ronaldo fans were the biggest Spain fans yesterday. Die Hard they were like, yes. You know how I know that? Guess who I took to the game with me yesterday? My son. Guess what jersey the guy decided to wear. Right? Ronaldo's jersey. Can you imagine? We're in a place where the guys that are with us in the suite, some friend of ours, Will Ferrell's on this side. Tom Cruz is out there taking pictures, talking to you and what do you call it to Dylan. Somehow Tom Cruz comes and gives a speech to open up the World cup, which was kind of interesting. But guys, before we get started, Humberto, run a poll real quick, folks. Which one do you prefer? These black glasses. Okay, until I get my eyes done. These. Do you prefer the clear? I don't know if we should say white or black because that could be a racist poll to run.

Pat

Don't get canceled on your own podcast.

PBD

So why don't you do black and clear? And Adam, on today's podcast, I'm requesting you to not to do a lot of jump ins because your audio isn't that. Well, only when I come to you jump in because the audio needs a little bit of work. This will be a good call.

Pat

And if you're with Warby Parker, dm, Tom, with any recommendations.

PBD

So let me. Let me go through. Let me go through the stories on what we got a few things. Trump gave a speech last week that we haven't gotten into yet. But Trump gave a speech last week that CNN refused to play. And they said, well, you know, because he's made a lot of claims. And they refused to play. And Trump made some claims about China being involved in elections and different things that we're going to get into. But the part I want you to think about that no one's thinking about. Remember when they said you can get your Facebook account back, your Instagram back, your YouTube account back, everything you can get back. And you know, now they're no longer going to be doing any censorship. No, no, no. They just revealed that card's going to be used. And they can't say equal time because they don't give equal time. And they can't say it was close to midterms. And we did the same things with Biden. No, because CNN played Biden's entire speech. So we're going to get into some of that stuff to talk about. Bill Maher said he's done with Democrats. He says there's no way I can support something like this. Bill Maher is actually saying he's open to the idea of potentially voting for J.D. vance. A Bill Maher voting for J.D. vance. Olive Garden. I don't know if you guys have been to Olive Garden lately or not. Olive Garden is officially for voter id. Olive Garden came out and said they believe in voter ID in the craziest way possible. Thirty years ago, when I was 17 years old, we'd go to Olive Garden. I would tell my friends, we went to a rich man's restaurant. You know, we would order those, you know, those breadsticks that it's unlimited breadsticks. I don't know if you know which one I'm talking about. It was great.

Vinnie

And salad.

PBD

Yeah, and salad was phenomenal. But Olive Garden got it right. We'll talk about what we're talking about. Of course, we got to address World Cup. Spain got paid $50 million for winning the whole thing. But they got to get. They got to pay. They got to pay my opinion that score. I'm going to give you the craziest stat on the World cup that no one's talking about that. This man here introduced me to the stat. And then we went a little bit deeper this morning to find out the numbers. It's crazy. When we share this number with you on the World cup, it's a topic that literally no one is talking about. We'll cover it here with you in a minute. We had a chance to watch Odyssey. This weekend, Tom took a nap. But it was a good movie. When we watched the Odyssey, Tom caught up on some of his. He's like, listen, I've read the book 50 times. I can teach the class on the Odyssey. I don't need to watch a movie to know what the odyssey was about.375 million dollar budget, which includes marketing, opening weekend, 264 million dollars. Breaking Christopher Nolan's previous record of 249

Pat

for Dark Knight Rises.

PBD

Exactly. So I don't know if you've seen it or not. We did. I'm gonna give you my thoughts. Vinnie's gonna give his thoughts. Tate, they're having a fight. They're promoting, I think two days ago, while they're going out there to promote the fight, which, by the way, you know, Tate's close choice that day. Andrew, I would tell you, could choose a little bit different color, but he's got. He's got a very good taste on clothes. But obviously they're going through it. UK comes from out there. Florida. We know DeSantis are not supportive of Tate's puth. Meyer was involved in this. It's very interesting to see what's going to happen. They're probably going to be in for about two weeks to 60 days. It could turn into a six month situation. Anyways, we'll get into that story. It's 30.

Pat

Has nothing to do with us.

PBD

No, it has nothing to do with us. But Tom, partly it does. Partly it does because it's with the help of us that they've been able to do what they're trying to do. So we'll get into that.

Pat

Right. But this particular arrest was coming from somebody.

PBD

You're right. It's coming from Ukraine. Transgender main Senate candidate, folks. New rock star Katie Porter step out of the way. A new rock star is here stealing the flipping show.

Vinnie

Yeah.

PBD

Talking some common sense.

Vinnie

Yes.

PBD

I write my own books. He said, look at this guy says I write songs. And all I'm trying to do as a transgender is use the restroom and not be bothered. I'm not going to hurt anybody. That's this guy's campaign speech.

Vinnie

Shout out Ashley.

PBD

And some people are saying this guy is apparently what do you call grand platinum replacement Democratic video that Platner evolves into Ashley Webb. I'm going to look into it and send it to him. And then we got. Japan enacts law to punish national flag vandals. Opponents say it's a threat to freedom of speech. Actually love that thing. John Fetterman comes Out warning Democrat Party, stay loyal to Israel or he'll leave. And there was one story I liked, which is MLS's newest billionaire owner thinks investors can do better than buying a sports team. When he breaks down the numbers, it's actually shocking that you may do better in the s and P500 than owning a sports team. And that's me. I read the story. I said, I think that's a pretty good story for us to get into it. So with that being said, Yang, while you're watching this, couple things I want you to be thinking about is for some of you guys that realize success in life, you're one contact away from changing your life. We do this intentionally. Every year people ask us and say, hey, we'd love to come to the campus, get a tour in the entire new headquarters. 11 acres on the airport. Allegedly, this was a former CIA DOD property that Oliver north did the Iran Contra at this airport that you guys now own. Yes. Wait a minute. Is that. Is that real? Yes. We're doing the annual networking event at our office. June 29, 6 to 8pm Those who have CEO tickets, I'm going to give you a tour the entire place. Founder tickets. Tom will give you a tour the entire place. A lot of new upgrades have happened since the last time you guys were here. Executives will get a tour from our staff, and then platinums and generals, you'll get a chance to do networking. And then I think a few people who buy the CEOs and founders will go to the cigar lounge afterwards for networking. You went at our lounge. Whether you're a member or not, it's going to be a great experience. And some of you guys can choose to become members afterwards. But you got to go buy your tickets. This is what it looked like last year. There's going to be a lot of surprises this year. Go ahead and play the clip. There you have it. Vault 2026. If you haven't yet bought your tickets, go to Vault 2026. Get your tickets, and those you guys that have, you can register with the link that we have out there.

But if you haven't yet purchased your Tickets, go to vault2026.com and get registered. Logan Paul will be there. Stephen Bartlett from Diary of CEO Dan Martel, Jerry Rice, Joe Montana. And we're gonna have a good time together at the Vault Conference this year with that being said, let's get right into it. First story. First story. Do we want to just get into the World cup and get that knocked

Vinnie

out of the way?

PBD

Let's get into the World cup and get that knocked out of the way. Spain won 1 0. Honestly, they should have won 5 0. 15 shots, 2 0. Spain's going to get paid $50 million. I think you mean. Lamal shook hands with Trump at the end when they won. There was a moment where they're like, oh, he's blowing him off. No, they shook hands. It was just couldn't see it. Trump put a medal over Messi's head. When they lost, Messi was in tears. The head coach was in tears, couldn't believe that this took place. The greatest red card in this entire World cup goes to Enzo. We're up there watching the match and we're seeing this guy going after the player. And all you see is Enzo doing the flip. You know what it reminded me of, Vinnie? It reminded me of that 80 year old man that flipped over to Bison because I know that picture was going viral. I'm like, this is horrible. I think he beat the 80 year old with the flip that he got.

Adam

He did.

PBD

And he gave a yellow card and he had already had a yellow card, so ended up being a red card.

Pat

Remember, the Bison was a yellow stone card.

PBD

That's right. That's a different card that you're talking about. Good one for that. But as you're going through this one number that came about, which was crazy, by the way, Spain is a true champion. And let me tell you why. They're the most boring team you can watch in the entire World Cup. I keep saying they're the Cavs, they're the San Antonio spurs, they win, but they're boring. Boring to watch them play. Okay, France plays exciting. Argentina plays exciting. England played exciting. By the way, the England, France game was sick. Like, like that's the game you want to go to see. Six, four goals. Mbappe scores the two goals, he becomes the all time scorer in the history of World Cup. I think he's got two goals or one goal goal more than if you want to pull up the leaders bulletin all time world World cup scores. So Mbappe is now first place ahead of Messi. And you know, Ronaldo fans celebrating because Messi didn't end up winning the second World Cup. There's Mbappe. Even though Messi didn't really need it, everybody at this point knows Messi's the goat. So Mbappe has 22 goals Messi's 21. And if you go lower, Ronaldo, Brazil, Portugal, 15. You know what's one of the stats that was going viral, which was kind of interesting to me? One of the stats that was going viral was the following. You know, Mbappe scored 10 goals in one World Cup. Messi scored eight goals in one World Cup. Haaland, Bellingham, Dembele. How do you sell the other guys? Dembele, seven goals in one World Cup. Harry Kane, six goals in one World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo, 11 goals in six World Cups.

Adam

Wow.

PBD

11 and six. And by the way, do you know how bad I wanted him to go to the championship? I know because I wanted to see him against Messi and let the debates begin.

Vinnie

Yep.

PBD

That's what I wanted. I wanted to see that. We went to the game specifically for that reason. But you know what's the most important stat? And then I'll open it up for you guys to go through and give credit to tomorrow. Here's the most important stat out of all the things that we talked about. There's not a stat more important than this. So they did a number to show which of the two teams had more. Six touch passes. Okay. I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. Like, you know where I pass it to Tom, Tom passes it to Vinnie, and there's five other teammates that we touch, pass six sequence of six passes or more. Do you know how many Argentina had in the entire game against Spain? 1. Do you know how many times Spain then that against Argentina in the game? 32. Adam, we can hear you. 32. 32 times Spain did this. Let me say it again. Argentina passed to each other six times, once without losing a ball. Spain did it 32 times. It just wasn't fair. We went to the bathroom after the first half, and I'm in the bathroom with Will Ferrell. All of a sudden, kids start screaming outside. I'm like, what's going on outside? Who's. And the UN didn't come inside. Spain just scored. I said, what? Spain just scored?

Adam

Yeah.

PBD

It's not going to penalties.

Pat

No.

PBD

We run outside Will Ferrell's like, what are you talking about? Anyways, it was an. It was an intense game, and credit goes to, you know, in all the people that made predictions, Tom wins the prediction markets. Messi didn't make the comeback. Spain was the most dominant team. They beat Mbappe's France, they beat Argentina's, Messi's Argentina, and they deserve to be champions. And credit goes to them. I Applaud them for going through it. And look, whether you like it or not, 90 of the audience was Argentina. 10% was Spain. But the 10% of our Spaniards that went there. Yeah, that's the picture right there. Look at me.

Vinnie

Show that. Look at that.

PBD

Tom Cruise, Dylan, and.

Vinnie

And Vinnie, he was so freaking awesome, too. He was so. By the way, he's not taller than me. I was lean. I was forward in the photo, and he was wearing boots.

PBD

Are you taller than him?

Vinnie

I'm taller than Tom. Yeah. I. I hugged him and I like,

PBD

but it was just a chill guy talking to you.

Vinnie

Oh, he was. He, bro. I, I. The way that I approached him and the way that I spoke to him, like, he went from smiling to listening, because I told him, I go, listen. I go, I know people on autographs. I go, I'm not gonna want that. We're gonna take a photo. But I go, thank you for all the entertainment. Like, me and my family, my dad was wild. We got to sit there as a family and watch him. And he was like, oh, my God, thank you so much. He was sitting there talking. He didn't deny one photo with anybody. Everybody got a. Gotta love it.

PBD

I. I love hearing story. I mean, we just watch cocktails, and we just watch a few good men within a week apart, right? And he's in both of them. But top your assessment, your thoughts on watching the game. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the World cup stuff. I want to move on. But your assessment on when I.

Pat

When I watched Spain, Remember, Spain was the pre tournament number one. I watched the first knockout round. Every minute I said, well, I wonder who's really gonna be up? And it was on July 2nd in Austria. I remember it was two days before 4th of July. We're getting ready to travel to Rhode island, and here we are, Austria, three to nothing. And that game could have been 13 to nothing against Austria. And I remember I came to Pat, and I said, pat, Spain is a machine. Because I was just so shocked. And I was seeing the passing and everything. And at that point, unai Simone, they had the draw against Capa Verde, but he didn't allow any goals yet. And I said, no one has scored on Spain either. And this goal, Unai Simon was amazing. And unai Simon would finish with seven. We call it shutout in American speak. It's called a clean sheet in soccer speak. And so he finished with seven clean sheets. The goalie that beats unai Simone's record for this year's world cup has to go the entire World cup and never give up a goal. He gave up one to Belgium.

PBD

Yeah.

Pat

Then that, to me was just so insane. And you talked about the passes. I got nothing more to say about it.

PBD

To be fair, Emmy Martinez was a great goal. He was the MVP to World Cup. Argentina, because they could have scored five, six goals.

Vinnie

Absolutely.

PBD

But go ahead, Tom, finish.

Pat

No, it's. It's like it was just. To me. Yeah. Credit to the Argentina goalie for hanging in. And it wasn't four to nothing. It was only one to nothing. And I think we've seen something, and I'll let you comment on it. I think we've seen with Spain or the combination of the academy, the national support. I think we're seeing the west coast offense getting born under Bill Walsh or Tex Winter and Phil Jackson building the triangle.

PBD

I think we're seeing that the students beat the teacher. These are guys that admire and they love Messi. They were protective. The way they played against Messi was very respectful. But they beat the teacher. And the teacher's 39 years old, and I hope he doesn't make a comeback. I hope he doesn't come back to 2030. A lot of people are saying he should come back, Ronaldo should come back. I think they should go. Thank you, Ronaldo. Thank you, Messi. I'll never forget, I went to the El Clasico in Madrid and I watched him play. I think Messi had a hat trick at that game. I never forget, I went to a game espanol against Mesa, against Argentina in 2008. Full on fight broke out. On the way out, people who were with me, you'll know what happened. There was fist fight and I was involved. And it took us three hours to get back to the hotel. It was all over espn. It was the craziest thing ever that we had. These guys entertained the world. And we want to thank you. It was phenomenal, was great. But I hope neither one of them comes Back to the 2030 World Cup. Vinny.

Vinnie

Well, Pat, first of all, thank you for bringing me there. The experience was just like. It was unbelievable. The fans, the cheering, the game was, you know, we had hopes. I wanted for, you know, destiny, you know, Messi winning. But you, you know, being the technical team that Spain was, they were. You used the best word when it came to their defense. Smothering guys. Every time the ball, it's. I didn't see one player tired, hands on their hips. They were sprinting on the ball every time. But, Pat, my favorite part I'm being dead serious about the whole World Cup. The whole. The MVP for me was Justin Bieber. While every. And it was. It was such a moment to be there to watch it because every artist, Madonna, Shakira, everybody, they had, you know, dancers, explosions, graphics, fire, production, lip syncing. He walked out by himself with a guitar, his earpiece and a mic and sang acapella while walking, playing the guitar. Pat, this is the biggest stage. And the song that he chose to pick to sing was everything. Hallelujah. It's about God. It's about gratitude and recognize, recognizing God's blessings and being thankful for every day. It was so intentional, Pat. In a world where everybody's about me and me, look at me. He chose that moment. And when he was done, Pat, you remember, he walked by himself from that one entrance all the way to the other by himself. And I absolutely love the message and taking that stage to do that song. So he. He was my mvp.

PBD

I agree. And by the way, we just saw him. We just saw him four days ago. Five days ago. Security. Y. Shout out to security. Great guy. Anyways, Adam, your thoughts? I know Israel is devastated that Argentina lost. What are your thoughts on this? Oh, oh, we can't hear him now. We can't hear anything you're saying.

Vinnie

We can't hear anything.

PBD

So there's zero audio this time around. Okay, we'll come back to you. Jake, you guys check Adam. We'll come back to. We can't hear anything you're saying. All that iq, guys. All that iq, all that genetics you guys got. Come on. All those resources, all those pagers, all of that stuff, and you can't get something to work over there? All right.

Pat

No, no, no.

PBD

Do not give up. By the way. So J.D. vance wasn't able to show to the. Show up to the game because they just had a son. And congratulations to JD and Usha. I think they just had a son. Alec. Neil Vance. If you guys can mute Adam, please, on the other side. Jake, thank you. And Marco Rubio was at the match. So was the president right there. We are excited to announce our baby. O Alex. Neil Vance was born in the morning. Usha and the baby are happy, healthy, and our kids are overjoyed to meet their little brother. The incredible military doctors and staff members of Walter Reed Medical center and the White House Medical Unit have been a blessing. We are deeply thankful for all they have done for our family and that stat with them. So congratulations to the Vance family as they welcome a new boy. But there you have it. By the way, when the game starts, they show stats and they said, here are the leaders of the World cup. The top three defenders of the World Cup. The top three defenders of the world cup, 3, 4, 3 was all from Spain. And I said, it's over. They couldn't even get it on the other side didn't score one goal. Again, respect to them and Messi, we, we have the privilege of saying we had, we, we witnessed the greatest soccer player of all time play during our era. If you had a chance to watch him, you know, you're part of the lucky few. We'll brag about him for many, many decades to come. All right, let me get to the next story. Next story I want to get into has to do with the Trump speech. Trump gives a speech on Thursday night. We didn't get a chance to talk about it, but he was given a speech and a few takeaways from the speech on what was discussed. Number one, US Elections. Trump said that the documents expose election systems to hacking, exploitation and foreign interference and accused officials of concealing these vulnerabilities from the public. Number two, Chinese exploitation of voter data claims. Trump alleged China acquired 220 million voter files and that intelligence officers suppressed evidence Beijing wanted to undermine his election reelection. However, a 2021 intelligence estimate. Okay, so China said we had nothing to do with it. That's what they came up and said. Just so you know that China called Trump's allegations completely fabricated out of thin air and urged Washington to stop its groundless smearing. Number three, voting machine and vote counting machines. Trump warned of a cyber threat aimed at at the very heart of our democracy. Citing intelligence about Venezuela allegedly attempting to manipulate its own elections. He suggested methods could threaten the US when it comes down to elections. Then this Michigan 2020 voter registration investigation. Trump accused former Justice Department officials of suppressing a Michigan investigation involving fraudulent voter registration applications and instructed FBI Director Cash Patel to pursue possible prosecutions and last but not least, non citizens on voter rolls. Trump cited the Department of Homeland Security report allegedly identifying approximately 278,000 registered non citizens but not claimed they voted. A preliminary review indicated the figure may have included the deceased voter. So they're looking into that now. When that took place, CNN's Gary King. King. What's his name?

Vinnie

John.

PBD

John King. Who is their. Brett Bear. Okay, allegedly. Obviously Brett Bear is in a league of his own, but he comes out and explains why they did not want to play the president's speech. Look at this. Watch this from the beginning, folks, and tell me what this reminds you of. Go ahead. A quick reminder to our viewers. We'll be watching tonight's presidential address and listening to what the president says tonight. But we're not going to take it live, as we've been discussing.

Adam

That's because this president sadly has a

Pat

history of misleading and in some cases.

PBD

Who are you to make a decision for 77 million people, election security and integrity.

Pat

Also, the White House earlier today said he would be showing newly classified documents.

PBD

So we want to make sure that

Pat

we have time to review those documents,

Adam

talk to experts about them, contextualize, whatever.

PBD

Can you imagine how embarrassing this is? Can you pause it right there? But if there is, CNN wants to say they know what's best for you. Who the hell are you? Who the hell are you? Remember in 2022, right before midterm elections and Biden was giving a speech on September 1st and. And what was that speech that was given, the independent hall speech, if you guys remember that, NBC, ABC and CBS said they're not going to play it because they said it's what it's promoting. And it's a midterm speech that he's given. You know what CNN did? They played it. Why did you play it? Cnn? Why did you play that speech? He was trying to win the midterms. So you don't remember what he did with the red background and how scary of a speech it was. So you didn't think that was okay for him to use it. You trusted him. So this all tells you what's coming to 2028. It's coming back. Don't think for a moment the censorship stuff is gone. Don't think for a moment them calling YouTube or Facebook or all these guys and threatening them to say, hey, you better block Trump. You better block. Don't think that's going away anytime soon. Don't think that for a second they showed their hands again. Tom, I'll come to you. Actually, no, Vinny, I'll come to you here with the Trump speech Thursday night. Your thoughts on what he talked about.

Vinnie

That's all I've been thinking about, Pat. Even at the freaking game, I was thinking about this and forget just for one second anything that he said about the speech. The fact that the biggest scandal is what you just said, that they're acting as gatekeepers of truth. They're deciding what we can hear and what we can hear. And to me, that's revealing their hands. So if you watch the speech, if you actually listen to what the president said, Pat, China used CCP assets in the U.S. media and social media to incite. This is just one of the examples, the 2020 BLM riots. Okay, number one, they also paid us journalists to write negative stories about the Trump administration. They collected millions of U.S. citizens private data from TikTok. And I know Tom's going to have a take on that. To create fake IDs and driver's licenses for tens of thousands of fraudulent mail in votes for Joe Biden and the 2020 election. And investigative journalist Katherine Herridge patting she was on News Nation. She reviews the documents released by the Trump administration and she said also the CIA email showed that they were working against Donald Trump to help China and the Democrats in the 2020 election. Take one second, let that sink in. I know we're supposed to have trust in all of our institutions. The FBI and the CIA actively working. I know everybody says, well you can't get rid of these institutions, Pat. But there's so many people inside. Like you have a company, Pat, you have valuetainment, you don't, you don't know how certain people are inside the company that think a certain way and that would act in some way to sabotage. And that's what happens. And then think about this, guys, they worked and busted their butts for years with China. They colluded. Then they released a freaking COVID 19 came from their freaking country. And remember anybody that tried to say Trump China, they're like, what are you doing? That's racist. Nancy Pelosi was in freaking Chinatown going, no, come, come here, come here and I'll pass. I tried. Then I'm trying to connect all the dots. Then for four years, Trump, Trump's out, Biden's in. All right, they flew spy balloons. Biden administration. By the way, do you know the Hunter Biden's relationship with China, Pat? He helped create BHR Partners. It's a private equity firm backed by Chinese state owned entities. After he traveled to China with his father 2013 while he was vice president. And remember in the emails, guys, he was referred to as the big guy. I need to cut for the big guy. And then Hunter Biden pursued business deals with the exec tied to cefc, the Chinese energy. All of Hunter's emails, Pat Lapties discussed the dealings with China. And then, and then we, we try to like who was calling the shots. Remember what you said last week with all the pardons? Who was basically, what article did you read or what book have you read that you read to a chapter that said Hunter Biden was in charge of basically the pardons I didn't hear.

Pat

Pat.

PBD

Regime Change by the two New York Times authors that just wrote the book Regime Change.

Vinnie

So think about the guys. This isn't like 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon there. He's a freaking China hawk. Biden working with his son Pat. And then you have losers like this Chinese takeover. Pat, you're seeing it. They're communists. The Democratic Party is not the Democratic Party anymore. You have losers like Hassan Piker dress up like Mao Zedong giving speeches in front of colleges. And that's the New Democrat. He was dressed. But, Pat, do you have that when I say. And I don't.

PBD

I don't like that Hassan Piker dress.

Vinnie

Hassan Piker dressed as Mal. Go to. Go to X. He went in front of the.

Pat

He's wearing the Neu Jacket.

Vinnie

Yeah. College Democrats of America convention. Like, what a freaking loser. Like, he's dressed up like he's at a. A communist expo. Like, dressing up. Like. Look at.

Pat

Look at this at the podium.

Vinnie

And I hope he hears this. What a complete loser you are. Dressing up like another man. Like it's a cosplay to talk about communism in this country. Bro, get the hell out of my face. So, Pat and I think it was Adam who mentioned this a long time ago. China is the enemy. Out of everybody that we're fighting, it's them. And they're not using guns, Pat. They use tiktoks. They use these influencers. They use these freaking politicians. And what. Who. What type of leader do you know comes to San Francisco and they kick the homeless out to make it look good for that guy? They're all in cahoots with that guy, Pat, and I think they're the number one enemy.

PBD

Adam, let's see how you sound. Go for it. If you have any thoughts on this.

Adam

How we doing out there?

PBD

Much better. Go for it. Much better. There you go.

Adam

Okay, great. Well, unfortunately, I didn't get to see the speech because I was too busy flying to Jerusalem. It's okay here right now, but get ready for more of these fun and games. We saw this in 2020. We saw it in 2024. We know that there's some nefarious actors out there that want to poison the wells, so to speak, of American democracy. And they can do it. China being at the top of the list. Russia playing games. North Korea, Iran. They all want to basically take down Trump. It's the left and the autocrat, autocratic right that are teaming together.

PBD

Adam, we're losing you. Tom, go for it.

Pat

So, Vinnie boy, I hope we clip what you just said, because you are right from A to Z. But I want to look at two things. First, let's go to CNN and the. How dare you, how dare you speak for the amount of people out there. But thank God nobody's watching CNN. 600,000, maybe 700,000 in viewers. Fox gets 5x 3.4 million. Little old Newsmax is almost at 300,000. So thank goodness nobody's watching CNN not cover it. But as.

PBD

What was the number for CNN?

Pat

CNN was between 680 and 700,000.

PBD

That's how low they are today.

Pat

Yeah, that's, that's right. I just, I just looked it up.

PBD

That is CNN foxes.

Pat

Fox is 5x 3.4 million when you get the total viewership. And little Newsmax is, you know, a smaller channel with a smaller budget closing in on half of cnn. Unbelievable. So. But the point is, how dare you do that. But I'll tell you, in 2022, when he did the. Where was it in Philadelphia or wherever it was.

Vinnie

He did in the backdrop, the black and red.

Pat

Exactly. This was Biden in 22. The networks knew Biden was a little off rails and they knew it was going to be bad. The reason they didn't cover it is they didn't want equal time. They would have had to give equal time. They had a premonition of the, of the debate in the summer of 24. And how did that go between Biden and Trump? It didn't. It was terrible. They knew that was going to happen, so that's why they weren't airing it. They're scared to death of having to air the other side and have it sound sensible and be something that the American people might be thinking about, might be processing even though they're upset about affordability and about the war is all have the American people go, wow, that sounds more reasonable over here. Now, TikTok, interesting. Remember we were willing to cut off our left arm to keep TikTok from getting our kids data. And if your kids were tied to a parent account on the phone, oh, TikTok could be invading the phone and pulling your data over there and taking your data to China. Well, guess what this is. And now we're, we're protesting the data centers and if we don't build them here, the data will be in China. People say that's always your thing. You're always saying that. You're just Bizdoc. I get these things on X all the time, Pat. Oh, Bizdoc. You're just saying that because you're in favor of the technology. No, I'm saying is we have to figure out how to make data centers not cost people money, have alternative methods of cooling and not be noisy. We have to put pressure on the people building data centers to do that. But if we don't put the data over here, it goes to China. And what, Vinnie, just outline. China is waiting. China is not a friend. This is what's going on here. That's what I feel about that part of the speech. I think it was a wake up call that people needed to hear.

PBD

Yeah, I mean, to me, it's all just showing you what's about to happen in 2028. The game Gamesmanship is back. They're going to use the same exact cards that you thought they weren't going to use. They're using it. They're going back to the same exact play out of their playbook. Page out of the playbook.

Vinnie

And I agree, 100. Pat, if you think about it, everything that he said about China, if it's true, you're seeing it play out. Who's leading the Democratic Party?

PBD

I got goosebumps.

Vinnie

It's the freaking communists. So it worked. And then I was always questioning who, what president would let China buy land next to our military bases. What. How many spies, Pat? The Fang Fang, the Eric Swalwell. But I want to ask you a question. Farms or the farms or the agriculture terrorists that we keep catching for from China? So, Pat, here's my question.

Pat

Who snuck into Minnesota?

Vinnie

Minnesota, exactly. That open door. How do we deal, Pat? Because we always want to talk about solutions. How do you deal with the FBI and the CIA and people in Congress? We have rogue actors that are working. This is the deep state. Everybody tries to act like we're all delusional or conspiracy theorists. The deep state, Pat, how do you deal with a company like the CIA, these organizations that have people inside? Because one of them that Catherine mentioned, Pat, she said in the FBI, quote,

PBD

she goes, can you pull up one of the tweets? One of the documents?

Vinnie

Yeah, one of the documents from birth. I sent you a couple in one of them. And Pat, I'll find it as well after I say this, because I want to ask you, I want to see if you could answer this question. She said something like she feels like this FBI agent is running a rogue. She said something like she was running a rogue government against our government. That's what she felt like. I'm going to find it for sure. But this is, this right here is them collecting for herself. Speaking for herself. She goes, I feel like I'm running like a shadow government for the, for, for, you know, against the president. God bless you. It's not like it's, it's a joke. It's not like it's hiding. It's so bad. And I'll find it. I'll send it to him. How do we stop those? What, what parameters, what guardrails you have to put in to let people like, you know, the James Comey or the Christopher Reyes or the General Milley. You guys remember what General Milley said about China, how much in this pocket of China he was. He said it's, he said if Donald Trump gave us an order to nuke or bomb China, I would call China and give them a heads up. That is, if that's not treason. Treasonous talk, then what is?

Pat

Tom, you're right. And I just want. 12 seconds. Can you go back to that? You just had that long one that you had on Twitter that talked about what that they took the. Where did they get the data for the driver's license? Right there. CCP collected millions of US citizen private data from TikTok accounts to create fake IDs for tens of thousands of fraudulent mail in votes. Thank you.

PBD

Yeah, and by the way, if you go to the group text, I'll put a thumbs up if you want to go to it in regard to blm. If you go to the tweet. You just saw me thumbs up. You see it or no, I just literally thumbs up it. Yeah, I'll do a love on it to make it easier for you.

Vinnie

Love it.

PBD

You see it. Okay then if that's not working, I'm just going to text it to you separately. This has to do about Chinese involvement with blm.

Adam

Okay.

PBD

If you go to your text, you'll see it right there.

Vinnie

Unbelievable.

PBD

Okay, at the top. There you go. Watch. Make this bigger. And Vinny, if you want to read this to them.

Vinnie

Okay, so China plan to incite racial unrest and blame white people hating black people to sabotage Trump. They had extensive plans China to influence and cyber operations to turn public opinion against the Trump administration. They specifically targeted racial tensions, planning to allege that white people hate black people, incite demonstrations and marches to highlight racial divides, increase conflict between police and anti racism activists, and create an impression that the US Law enforcement resents the government and people of color. Other themes included political party fights, Congress versus Trump conflicts, women's rights, and alleged US War plans. China had the ability to spread these messages across social media. TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and mainstream media using influencers. One option included gathering dirt on senior U.S. officials. This document shows that China was actively planning to weaponize racial division to damage Donald Trump ahead the 2020 election. Another act of war. And it's think about all the stuff that now that we're finding out besides Covid, China, racial divide in the United States, China, all these freaking people.

PBD

Typed it work. Of course.

Vinnie

Of course it worked.

PBD

NBA, NBA. The year that LeBron won the Mickey Mouse championship.

Vinnie

Yeah.

PBD

Did it say BLM was everywhere? Black Lives Matter everywhere. They use this to divide America and win elections.

Vinnie

And let me ask you a question, Tom, be honest. Can a president ever survive racial riots, billions of dollars of damage in the United States, number one, and number two, a pandemic. Can anybody survive? If Jesus Christ was the president, would Americans vote for him if he lived through that?

Pat

And we can talk about the 2020 election. Look how many votes it took to beat him.

PBD

Is that Millie?

Vinnie

Yeah. This is Millie's clip.

PBD

Watch this. Chinese thought wrongly that the United States is going to attack them. I am certain, guaranteed certain, that President Trump had no intent to attack. And it was my task to make sure I communicated that. And the purpose was to de.

Pat

Escalate.

PBD

You shared all that earlier, I understand.

Pat

As part of that, just say, did

PBD

you or did you not ask, tell him that if we were going to attack, you would let him know. As part of that conversation, I said, General Lee, there's not going to be a war. There's not going to be attack between great powers. And if there was, the tensions would build up. There'd be calls going back and forth from all kinds of senior officials. I said, hell, generally I'll probably give

Pat

you a call, but we're not going to attack you.

Vinnie

You're going to attack you. A foreign nation that we're at war with Powers. What a. What a good friend. Good riddance to this guy. That's the problem. The enemy from within path, foreign and domestic, we have. I'm more concerned about the domestic because they're willing to sell their souls for money pat on top of these influencers and sell our nation. Okay? That's the problem that I have. It's these guys when I see people like Hasan Piker who dressed up like a freaking moron communist Mao that killed millions and millions of his own people, like, you're an idiot and you're in our country doing it. And it pisses me off.

Pat

China from one side, Soros and. And the globalist, liberalist, globalist from the other side, and the Shining City on the hill is under siege. People need to understand that you have your freedoms, you have the liberties and the things we have here. But we are understanding both sides.

PBD

This is coming. Brace for impact. Everybody's been confusing saying no, that's the enemy. No, that's the enemy. No, that's the enemy. Behind closed doors, China's over here controlling it all. And it's like what a great. By the way, kudos to them learning the propaganda game better than anybody else. A story came out here saying how Israel is trying to use $90 million propaganda. Whether it's working or not or it's failing. Guess what? Israel miserably failed the propaganda game. China winners respect to their propaganda game on what they did.

Vinnie

Yeah.

PBD

Israel's 50 million auto experiment to change US public opinion. Let me get to the next story here. Check this out. Iran. This is getting serious. And just now the numbers this morning for crude oil was at what, 88, 89. I'm sorry, no. Brent crude was at 87, 89. 88.

Pat

89 was British Brent.

PBD

Yes.

Pat

US was 82 and a half.

PBD

82 and a half. But here's what's going on with Iran. US cumulative death toll officially hit 17. Okay, 17. A US service member was killed on Saturday, July 18th in northern Iraq during a controlled detonation operation targeting unexpected ordinance from a downed Iranian drone officially announced by CENTCOMP on Sunday. Jordan's base attack fatalities two U.S. service personnel who were confirmed killed on Friday, July 17th. Just three days ago during a massive Iranian ballistic missile and drone strike targeting a US hosted base in Jordan. Remains recovered from Jordan said a third U.S. service member originally listed as missing in action from Jordan attack is presumed death. CENTCOM confirmed Sunday that unidentified remains disturbing to even read that were recovered at the impact site and undergoing formal DNA verification and mainland Iranian casualties. US precision strike overnight into northwestern Iran killed at least one individual and left multiple wounded civilian left without water. While casualty figures remain heavily censored. Iran inside Iran, US strikes on utility targets have completely cut off drinking water of 10,000 civilians across 20 villages in Hormuzgan Province following the destruction of the bungee desalination pump. And you're seeing them attacking desalination locations. Nine consecutive nights of the US bomb and CENTCOM included its ninth consecutive night of heavy air and sea operations against mainland Iran on July 19. Deploying fighter jets and main time Tomahawk cruise missiles. I mean this is, this has not slowed down. We asked this question this morning, what do you do now? Right? What do you do now with all the stuff that's happening. Well, look, here's the reality of it. My opinion and time out, Vinny, I'll come to you guys. A day before, it could have been a week before the war started, I was on Mario in the fall and he asked me a question about whether I would, if I was the leader, whether we would kill Khamenei. And I said I wouldn't do it. He's 86 years old. If you do, you better be ready for a war that's going to be decades because you're killing their supreme leader, what we did, and another 49 on top of that. So you got 50 total leaders that you kill. Then you want to come and negotiate with the surviving guy that's left, whose father, mom and wife I believe you have killed. And you think these guys are going to be negotiating reasonably? They're not. So what do you do now? In a situation like this, you either have to put that entire regime to be eliminated or you have to know for decades these guys are going to be seeking vengeance when you're no longer president. And this is Trump, when you are no longer president. So maybe they won't do anything under your watch, but they will on another president's watch. And then what happens? So, so, so the dominoes, the first dominoes of this goes back to what happened when we killed their 50 leaders. But we are now in a position where, you know, this morning, I think just 45 minutes ago, Iran is proposing a new ceasefire, whatever their deal is. Right. That they're proposing this morning. Markets went into the greens immediately when that was announced. But it's a bad situation right now with what's going on with Iran. A lot of it happens after you kill the 50 leaders. So, Tom, what are your thoughts on what we're hearing right now? What Iran?

Pat

Well, what I want to know is there are little reports that are out there from some second tier news agencies and independent reporters. None of this has been. But what I'm about to say has not been validated by centcom, but CENTCOM should be speaking to it. They are alleging that there is limited response from the Patriot battery that was at that Jordan base and that people have been saying, you know, you've been hearing that Vinny is a guy in the military. What is your number one thing? Your, your ammunition supply line is literally number one. And then your food and water supply line is literally number two.

Vinnie

You have to defend yourself and feed the fricking soldiers that are manufactured.

Pat

That's exactly first you gotta protect yourself. So there's somebody to feed.

Vinnie

Yeah.

Pat

So there's, there's these things out there that right now there are unconfirmed reports or rumors that potentially the Patriot battery may have been out of ammunition and the Patriot missiles are the ones that intercept. So that's why these things landed. If that's true, then it kind of connects the dots, Pat. And what people have been saying that hes has been denying that, you know, know there's supply lines and some limited, that the longer this goes on, the more that we get strained on the ammunition to respond, number one. But number two, what's even more bothersome to me is seeing all the markets reacting now. We went almost three weeks, remember, the markets were hardly moving. Vinnie. They like a little bit, hey, you know, oil is 67, 68. And even though, even as some, maybe some tense words were going back and forth with US and Iranian negotiators. We never said that we said this, but the markets were calm. The markets have stopped being calm. The markets are now upset and oil is back up into the 80s, not 80.1, back up into the high 80s. Pat quoted him and that makes me worried because now the markets are getting worried. So I agree with Pat that this thing has been protracted. It's exactly what he said on Mario Nefal. We're now living it out. But now the markets are getting nervous. And look at it. A rumor of a ceasefire and then the markets reverse a little bit this morning. It's very tense. We've gone in now to a very, very mushy, volatile situation.

PBD

Yeah, once. Listen, we're in too deep, you know, we're in too deep. Anyways, let me kind of share with you what some of the world leaders said. Donald Trump said. We hit him hard again tonight and we did it in the honor of the American service members killed in Jordan. Here's what Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had to say. In a fierce, fiercely defined written statement broadcast across Iranian state tv. He stated, US Actions prove President Trump's signatures utterly worthless and devoid of credibility. Pledging that the US Will face even heavier costs and further humiliation. Rubio came out and said the following. On Sunday, it's clear that Iran, at least some people in Iran, want to control the strait and hold that as a leverage against the world. This is what he said. And then Iran's Foreign Minister, Ismail Baghai said, condemned the U.S. targeting of the Darkhovin facility as a terrorist and aggressive American attack on a US crime, demanding that the IAEA board of Governors and Director general abandon political bias and issue a formal condemnation of Washington. So it's not, it's not getting any prettier. It's not getting any prettier. Vinnie, thoughts?

Vinnie

I mean, like, and, and before I even say this, this isn't what I want to happen, okay. I don't, I, I am anti, I don't want any wars happening unless we're giving the facts in the beginning and it's actually save people that are under duress. Ok? The only way to win this war, Pat, the only way to win objective to get rid of this freaking IRGC is a freaking full ground invasion. And you have to bomb the hell out of them, plain and simple, full stop. That's the only way. Okay? Because if not, this is going to be a forever war. One week it's going to be, hey, they said they're going to be cool. Trump said they're cool. Then we bomb the hell out of them. Trump says he's going to bomb everybody and kill everybody. It's, it's, it's. And billions of dollars are going to be spent. Tom made a great point about our weapons are freaking depleted. And the main part about this entire situation, I, by the way, my heart goes out to the Iranian people, which I thought the majority of this war was going to be for them. You know, we got rid of their enriched uranium, which I thought we bombed the hell out of them the first time. It's the now 17 United States military service personnel who have all perished for a war that a lot of people are saying that we shouldn't have even started in the first place, Pat. And it's not going to stop because guess what Iran's not doing. They're not bombing us here. No, they're going to our freaking assets that we have in the Middle east and they're showing us, hey, we can't come to you with our missiles or whatever the hell we have, but we can kill Americans in different nations with Trump, which as a veteran, that drives me crazy because that 17 families that lives are ruined, ruined because of something that we shouldn't even have done.

Pat

And now just the calculus in the strait itself is now changed. You have Lara island, which is on the north side, which is where Iran wants to put the toll booth, right? Lara island, which is the long island up on the north side of it. Then you've got the South Passage. It goes right by Oman on the map. And, and that's where the ships have been. That's where the British and the American ships supposedly Got, got rid of the mines and Iran says, no, we don't want you to go there. And every now and then they're hitting these little, little surface missiles onto the ships that are there. And then we said, hey, we'll just take Kharg island and we'll step on the air hose and suffocate them. And that didn't happen. And now we find out that one of our key amphibious landing ships is, is now out of commission and they've been working on it for, for almost a month and didn't announce it. One of our key amphibious landing ships that we tracked coming all the way from San Diego. So the whole calculus of the military involvement, hey, we will protect it, we will open the straight. All of this has changed and the negotiators have gone haywire. So this, Pat, I feel like we're back on May 15th and it's completely mushy.

PBD

Yeah, I think it's a massive missed opportunity. And I'll tell you where it's a massive missed opportunity because the World cup was the biggest positive distraction you had and you missed out on that opportunity. Now here's the thing. A part of it to me is not surprised. Why you killed 50 of their top leaders. Whether you want to blame that on Israel, you want to put it on us where they killed too many people that they were negotiating with. Is this it? Can you play this clip? This is a week before the war began. Go forward and better for the country.

Vinnie

Hopefully we'll see.

PBD

I'm giving you a weird answer. He's 86 years old. He's about to die anyways. Leave it alone. You don't need to kill an 80. If you're going to kill somebody, kill a 45 year old. I'm just being honest. If you're going to go out there and take out a leader, go after a leader that's got a 40 year run rate. Who cares about a three year run rate? His time has come if you're going to do it. I'm not imposing anything for people to be done, but all I'm saying is take out a young leader. Okay. When you hear stories about USSR, the Soviet Union was following Ronald Reagan 17 years before he ran because the way he would communicate would get people to get behind him. That's the guy that was their enemy. Guess who they took out. How old was Charlie Kirk when they took him out? 31. Why did they take him out? He's got 60 more years. 60 more years they got. I mean that's, that's you take out an 86 year old. Can you imagine, like, you know, you're, you're playing, you know, basketball against a team and all you're, you're double teaming a 43 year old center. What are you doing double teaming a 43 year old center? The guy can't even run. His knees are buckling. You know, he's having all he's got like 17 knee braces on. No, you got to go after the youth anyways. It's already in too deep. My concern right now is if you look at the Trump's victories, the things that were very important to me as he was going, tariffs was one of them. Supreme Court ruled against it. They're now sending back $71 billion of terror free funds. Okay. And a lot of these companies are using it to offset inflation caused by the Iran war. Number two was a voter id. We saw what happened with that with Supreme Court ruling. Amy Coney Barrett all of a sudden is worried for her life. So she goes from voting 81% of the time with conservatives to 50% because she's worried. I suggest she resigns and step away. But the likelihood of that happening is less than 5% of her stepping assigned. But who knows, maybe, maybe there could be a surprise. And then while you're going through this, you had a couple other things that you're going through that you're trying to put together. But, you know, the reality of it is your tariffs was big, voter ID was big, Iran was big. And let's see what they do here with Iran. I, I'm, I'm always optimistic. I'm always from the mindset of it's all going to end up working itself out always. And there's a percentage that you got to stay worried. But we'll see what will take place next. While all this stuff is going on, Tate brothers are back at it again. They're in Miami promoting a fight. And suddenly while they're in Miami promoting a fight, what page is this on, by the way? While they're in Miami promoting a fight, It's a bear. Social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate are arrested in Miami. And you see the video, I don't know if you have the video. When they're going out there and arresting them. If you want to pull up the video of Tate's, if you just type it on X, go on X, type in Tate arrest. You'll see the video while they pull up to him. And so Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested Saturday in Miami after the UK sought their extradition on dozens of charges including rape and sex trafficking. The Tates, who are brothers, millions of followers, you know, they're, they're kind of promoting them on who they are and what they were. The U S. Marshal Service.

To the U.S. marshal, by the way, they said the arrests were made in accordance with the treaties and law enforcement agreement governing Justice Department extraditions. The brothers are expected to make an appearance at a federal court early next week. I think the court today, nine o' clock they were at court. Their lawyer, Joe McBride for the brothers said they are innocent. Andrew and Tristan Tate will walk free. America does not do Britain's political dirty work. Not here. Never. The UK's Crown Prosecution Service said it authorized 42 charges against Andrew Tate, who is 39 years old. Tristan Tate, 38, faced 17 charges. The service said there's a ton. There's a total of seven alleged victims and you know that goes into all these other stories. But the judge that they're facing, the judge that they're facing, I believe today I want to say the judge's name is Judge Lewis. I think hardcore, hardcore level 10 type of a liberal judge that we're talking about. So who knows what's going to happen here. We know Desantis's camp have never been far fans of Tate's. They've even Called him out. Last time Tate was on a podcast, he called out the Santis and James Hootmeyer, who's a star in Florida. This guy's going to end up doing something long term, politically. Very talented, very capable. He even said a few things on X about him. So some of this stuff has to do with the child pornography is what they're talking about, which, you know, to put that on them. Can you imagine uk? You have Rupert Lowe who comes out with a report with 250,000 Pakistanis, you know, 87% of them being Pakistanis. This rape gang, and you hear nothing, but the first Muslim they go after is Andrew Tate. That, that, that's what it's come down to. Not, not, not all the other rape cases you have in your state, that you release people. Not, not all the other stuff that goes on where judges comes out and says, no, no, no, this is their way of living. Leave them. Not that, don't, don't look at that. No, not at all. UK is a safe place. This rape stuff is not happening. It's just the propaganda. But let's go get this guy. Andrew and Tristan Tate, it becomes a little bit weird. Yeah, right there. Hootmar, can you go to the, to that tweet how the turn, how the turntables breaking? Andrew and Tristan Tane have been arrested in Miami. Obviously they can't stand those guys on what they're doing. So, you know, you have, you have, you have a thing going there. I'll pause right here. Vinnie, your thoughts on this case here.

Vinnie

Well, well, first, Pat, I. And again, people out there. Oh, they're these guys with the women. Listen, put all that aside. If you can't tell that this is all politically driven and motivated, like you're being delusional. Okay? I know these, I know Andrew, I know his brother. I can't speak for every single thing, every little minuscule thing. But you know what? When you talk, and I'm not blaming them, Pat, but when you talk about the system, when you constantly are talking about the powers that be in the matrix, it's not surprising that they're always going to come after you and, and they're never going to stop. I remember when Andrew, he was speaking to somebody and he said, the way that they work is first they take your money, then they try to destroy your reputation through the media, and then they try to kill you. Okay? And as it seems, they're still working on the second one because this is going to be non stop. This will never, ever, ever stop at. And when it comes to this world of. Of. Of women and whatever, as we've learned through all. All the stuff that America's going through, with all these false allegations, with people just coming forward, all you need is an allegation. That is it. And there's somebody in the system that hates you. They even look for these type of females. They look for these type of girls that say, oh, were you with him during this time? And this time, okay, just say this. We'll give you some money. That's how it's working. That's how it is. And you know what? I'm sorry, Pat, if you've live. If you're living a life. And we had this conversation with who in the car the other day with the kids, and I was telling them guys, they're like, well, what happened? Uncle Vinnie?

Adam

Did he.

Vinnie

Do I go, listen, just know this. This will never happen to you. If you treat women with respect and dignity, you find the girl that you love, you get married, blah, blah. When you have a pool of a thousand women guys, the odds of some of them coming forward, even if it's a lie, are very, very high. Especially when there's money involved and especially when there's people of high power that want to destroy you and you're seeing it in real time.

Pat

Yeah.

PBD

Adam, let's try you one more time.

Adam

Pvd. You got me now, sir?

PBD

For it. Let's test it out.

Vinnie

Great.

Adam

Well, listen, I'll tell you, much like the 50 Cent album, Iran didn't want this podcast to come out. They must have done some Internet blackout. But I'm here in a bunker ready to give you some answers. So we're talking about Andrew Tate, is that right?

Pat

Yes.

Adam

So let me just lay it on you with the Tates. I like the Tates. I'm rooting for the Tates. I think the Tates are the definition of poking the bear too hard. And now they're getting done dirty, and people don't want to hear what they have to say. Question for you guys. What were they charged with and convicted of? Of all the things in Romania, I don't think I'll give you the quick answer. It was nothing.

Vinnie

Zero. They.

Adam

They were convicted of nothing. So now the UK is going back in time like they're Michael J. Fox to try to find something and pin it on Tates. They continue to win. You might not like them, and it's totally okay to disagree with them. What you should be appalled by is the justice system in the UK at this point. Their credibility is at an all time low. So I'm rooting for the Tates. I don't know what the latest iteration of their situation is, but you know how they say some people are built for this? Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate are built for this. And I hope they get out.

PBD

I'd add a much better audio, Tom. Go forward.

Pat

So, obviously, this is Crown Prosecution Service, CPS, which is sort of FBI of the UK, and you saw the US Marshals. Did the US Marshals come in there with dogs, some 10 guys? No. They walked up to him, they said, hey, we have a warrant here. You got to come with us. It was calm. There was no drama. Their security guy, guy with the beard, was just kind of standing there. It was orderly. His associate was allowed to come up and talk to him. So the US is just sitting there saying, well, we have a treaty with the UK and this is an extradition request, guys, so you got to come with us. You may not like it. I don't know what it's about, but we. You know what I'm glad is we didn't throw them on the ground and do all the things you could do. We simply kind of executed on it. However, that's the part that people need to understand. This was us obeying a treaty with the uk and it's the UK diving into this. And it just goes to show you, if the FBI or the CPS or MI6, if somebody wants your hide, they are going to move heaven and earth to get it.

PBD

Yeah, they will. And. But by the way, but if you're part of a rape gang in UK, 150,087% being Pakistanis, and they don't want your hype, but you. No, no, no. Don't touch those guys. No, no, not them. Not them. Let's. Let's go. Let's go to a different place. So here's kind of where I'm at with this. Look, I always said the following. If they find something and you did it, it is what it is. I mean, you know, you know, it's, it's, it's. That's the court's job. Go find it. The lawyers got to do their part. Prosecutors, everybody's got to do their fight. And then we find that, and the world says, okay, they did or they didn't, but that's on you to pull off nothing. So far, you've been able to pull off everything is allegation, allegation, allegation. Another four girls came. Another three girls game. Another two girls came. And is that a byproduct of the life they lived? Yes. Is that a byproduct of how crazy stuff they said? Yes. Does that piss off a place like uk? Sure. But UK loses credibility in this place where they don't do their part to protect the British people, the nationalists, the people that actually love their own country. Britain's losing credibility for having seven prime ministers in 10 years. And I think they just announced a recent one. If they haven't, they're about to. I think the guy's name is Andy Dunham. He's another.

Pat

No, he's in just now.

PBD

Oh, he's in just now. Seven prime ministers in 10 years. You think you have any credibility? You UK? I don't think so. Seven prime ministers in 10 years. They have lost so much credibility for them to come out and then you want to do something like this. But my speculation is that Florida was involved in this. My speculation is that Florida decided to participate and work with them and maybe even the DOJ indirectly because it's coming from the top. So we'll see as this gets closer, where they're at. I don't know. We'll learn more as they're going through. I think today's the first court hearing. They're having a couple other things that's going to happen this week. We may even have his lawyer on the podcast on Thursday to give us some thoughts on what's going on.

Vinnie

Vinny, just really fast because, you know, because I know a lot of people were pissed off because they're American citizens and like, who. Who the hell is the uk? But they have dual citizenship. They have dual citizenship. So that's the problem, guys.

PBD

So now I don't know if they're going to give it up or not. I mean, their father, their family, their life, a lot of it is also part there. But let me get to the next story. Next story is Odyssey. Odyssey comes out Movie Christopher Nolan. 375 million dollar budget total. That includes 125 million dollar marketing. So 250 plus 125. 375 opening weekend. 264 million dollars. Breaking Christopher Nolan's previous record of Batman. Which Batman was the time that did 200. Dark Knight rises the $249 million. I even think, if I'm not mistaken, it beat Oppenheimer. Some people are predicting this thing's going to do around $750 million. Let me kind of give you at first when we were watching this, everybody was talking about this whole Elliot Page guy, transgender that they put the part in There. And he's doing that because without having a character like that, you cannot win, what do you call it, an Oscar, and you can't participate in it. And I looked at the numbers on how much they paid actors. Do you know the exact amount, how much they paid everybody? Okay, let me kind of go through. What do you think Elliot Page made? Just guess, three million, one and a half million dollars. Then if you go to some of the big names, John Leguizamo, what do you think he got paid? 2 million, 2 and a half million. John Bernthal, he got paid $3 million. Lupita Nyong, you know which one that is. Helena stars on the freights. Helena Troy, $4 million. Charlize Theron, $5 million. Robert Pattinson, who played at tennis, Athenaeus, he got paid $6 million. Anne Hathaway, only $7 million. I thought it would be a little bit higher. Zendaya. Athena, who was not a bigger character than Anne Hathaway, $8 million.

Vinnie

Holy moly.

PBD

And then you have Tom Holland, $10 million. Matt Damon, $15 million is what he got paid for the movie.

Vinnie

That's not a lot for, like.

PBD

That's not a lot for Matt Damon. I thought Matt was going to be in the 25 to 30s, but he got paid 15. I thought he did very good. Now, you know, for me, when you look at the story. When you look at the story, the acting, everything that was going on, we came home and we had a lot of discussions with it. I had a very good conversation with Tom's daughter Brooke, who knew everything about the story of Homer. And, you know, by the way, do you know when this was written? Do you know the exact time on when this was written? We talked about it. 800 BC. This book was written. 800 BC by Homer, which some say Homer is not even a real character, but they said he was blind. Homer was blind. He wrote this and he wrote the Iliad, and it turns into this movie and couple the parts. You know, when you go into the characters where you question it. The one girl who was the witch, where Matt Damon shows up and they turn his soldiers into pigs while they're eating the food. What's her name?

Pat

Cersei.

PBD

And that's also the name in the other show, right?

Vinnie

Game of Thrones as well.

PBD

She's the queen. So this witch was supposed to be very attractive witch, but she wasn't in the movie. And one of the characters with the crow, that's not really in the book, the crow is supposed to be her sister that she has animosity on. And Matt Damon, who kind of figures out as he's going to. This is when he shoots the deer. It ends up becoming a human being. He knows something's going on there. That was an interesting, you know, scene that they went through. Poseidon's son, the guy with the one eyed. You know who I'm talking about?

Vinnie

Cyclops.

PBD

Cyclops. That he was eating, you know, some of the soldiers and how they got away from it with all these as. Follow the sheep. No, sheep are by themselves. They're always with it. And so you kind of climb up and then he sees Poseidon's son and they have to escape him. And they get on the ship. Eventually they make it out of there. The ending of the story, one of the scenes that was left, left that. Which I love that Brooke shared this with me. There's a scene about when he comes back and Anne Hathaway, who was playing Penelope, doesn't know whether this is Odysseus or not because he's been gone for about a decade. And he hung out with Charlize Theron, who. Charlize Theron is playing Calypso, who's a person who always falls in love with people that come there, but they never love her back. And she keeps feeding them this. What do you call it? This flower.

Vinnie

Oh, what was it called?

PBD

What was that flower?

Vinnie

Yeah, orchid.

PBD

That you forget. You forget about your past. And this is her way of getting people to love. Love her. But it never happened. Anyways, he comes back and the one scene that she said should have been in the book that wasn't is the scene where Penelope is trying to find out if Odysseus is really Odysseus. She goes and tells the workers loud enough. So Odysseus is listening and says, hey, I need you to remove this bed from my bedroom. I want this thing to be out of here. And he responds back and says, you can't. That bed is specially made because it's got the roots to an olive tree. And then she says, there's only two people that know this, me and Odysseus. Because that was the first time it was under a tree that they. And so he took the tree and turned that tree into her bed.

Pat

The marriage bed.

PBD

Yeah, marriage bed tied to an olive tree. Look, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed. I don't know what to tell you and Joe.

Adam

Watch.

PBD

I give it a seven and a half. I didn't give it like a nine and a half gladiator, you know, but it's definitely better than gladiator 2. And I think you should go watch it. There's a lot of people that say you shouldn't waste your time. And that whole Elliot Page thing, you know, it wasn't that much of a deal for me to be like, what is this person doing here? I get what he's doing, but I actually like watching a movie. Vinnie, your thoughts?

Vinnie

It was good and I'm telling everybody, I recommend everybody do not watch it unless you're watching it in an IMAX theater. The movie was shot and in all IMAX cameras. He even, I guess he invented Christopher Nolan, Tommy something to cover the actual cameras because they make a lot of noise during the shooting. So he created that. I think it was good, Pat. It was a little, A little long. All the reviews. Rotten tomatoes is 95 and 97. It was visually good. I mean, how long, Tom? How long is the Odyssey? The book? How many pages, Pat?

Pat

Oh, it's like depending on what language you're reading it in, but it's like 500 pages. The Iliad is 500 pages. You know, Brooke went through a full semester and they didn't get through the book. They went through these key passages and then they read a narrative summary of everything and, and then went deep into these passages, into the characters and everything. It's 500 freaking pages.

Vinnie

So if you're guys, if you're that well versed and like Tom's daughter Brooke, she's. She. We had a 20 minute briefing before that. We even watched the movie and she said, Vinnie, if you've read, if you read the book and you understand it, there are so many missing pieces and I get it, it's freaking 500 pages. You can't. It should have been. She said something really good that. She said it should have been a series. It should have been two, one or three movies like, like in Dune. But you know, with the casting, I understand, like you said, what he's doing. Nolan's playing the game. He wants to win an Oscar. And to win the Oscar, the Academy's represent representation and inclusion standards. You have to have, you know, a. You have to have, you know, I mean they have to have all this crazy stuff. The one thing, Pat, I'm going to say it fast, that pissed me off. John Lugazamo and, and, and Humberto is going to play this clip. This is the, one of the biggest, besides the Trump derangement syndrome and America Sucks and all this stuff. The biggest complaining winum victimhood mentalities I've ever seen. He says here Pat, Hollywood's not the most accepting place when it comes to Latinos and the most aggressively unrepresented group in America. Can you please play this club? What's been your odyssey in terms of

Pat

fighting for your identity or your Hollywood career?

PBD

Well, you know, it's always been a battle. I mean, you know, Hollywood is not

Pat

the most accepting place. Even though we Latin people are 30 to 40% of the box office and a third of streamers, we're still not represented with the most underrepresented, aggressively underrepresented group in America. So that's been my odyssey to try to bring some parity.

Vinnie

And this is what bothers me. This is coming from a guy that I've known. Pat has been acting since the 80s. Over a hundred movies, TV projects, made millions. How much did you say he made, Pat?

PBD

Two and a half million.

Vinnie

Two and a half billion dollars. It's not that he wants more problems, opportunities for Latinos. He. He's constantly selling other Latinos on the idea that the system stacked against them, even though his life proves the opposite. Okay. He reminds me of the Obamas. Everything's racist.

Adam

Everything is this.

Vinnie

You were the president. Hey, Michelle, your husband was president twice. Okay? And then look around. Marcelo Hernandez, Selena Gomez, Danny Trejo, Sophia Vergaro, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, Rosen Sanchez, Jennifer Lopez, Benicio del Toro. I could keep going. AD Garcia, Eva Longorio. How up? Underrepresented. I don't get it, Pat. It's. It's. America is full of successful Latinos. Comedians, musicians, everything. Stop teaching this victimhood mentality, John. Okay? You're doing it. Everybody else can do it. I just think it's ridiculous, Tom. It pisses me off.

Pat

And if you're going to be a victim and you're going to start quoting history, for the love of God, get it right. He goes off and says. I believe the quote was, oh, and they took 500 tons of gold that funded the Renaissance. Hey, words, talk number, scream. Here's a number for you. 14, 10. That was the start of the Renaissance. 100 tons of gold. 100 million tons of gold. That was the estimate. The 100,000 tons of gold is the estimate that was taken from the Incas and the Mayans in 1697. So it's just like 300 years later. So it's like, oh, they took this and they funded it. Queen Isabella didn't send them in there till 1600. So, like 1550. 1530. I think it was 1532. The Queen's proclamation. Pat, here's your Ships. Here's your guys. We think there's some gold or some stuff out there. Go get it. And then you come back all in 15, 16, 97. So it's like, if you're going to tell the story and relate it to history, get your facts straight, dude, before you go into this victim stuff, he's all victim.

Vinnie

But you know what stands out even more that something like not. Not that many people were talking about. We talked about it. This is one of the most famous Greek stories ever told. And there's not one major Greek actor in any major role in the entire. Like, if you guys think about Pat, that's the most bizarre. If you're going to talk about a Greek epic, how do you not include at least one prominent Greek? Anybody? Pat, anything. Put one Greek person in there. You had every other race in there.

Pat

I take two fast sides of it. Side number one, it was an amazing movie. Amazing effects and everything that goes with it. And that's the same way that. Guess what? Dark Knight. When we saw Christopher Nolan in the first Batman movie he did, we said, wait, this is dark. He's got character things on Batman. Batman is very dark. Holding the villain over. Remember this moral. This moral decision. Does he drop the guy or not? That's not Batman. Batman's good. Well, that was. That was Christopher Nolan making an outstanding film of Batman based on Batman. If you wanted a biopic of the.

Adam

Of.

Pat

Of basically exactly what Homer was talking about. Wait for HBO to do, like 20 episodes and do a historical.

PBD

What score you give the movie?

Pat

I give it an eight.

PBD

You give it an eight.

Vinnie

I remember when we walked out, I. I'm. I'm going 7.75.

PBD

All right. I said 77 and a half is what I gave it. So. Only one Greek actor appears to be in Christopher Nolan's Odyssey, Giannis. He has a brief role as the prophetic villager who warns Odysseus about the disasters ahead. And he's reportedly the film's only actor speaks Greek.

Vinnie

I stand corrected. One guy that doesn't pull up pictures of.

PBD

At least we can give credit to this Giannis guy. Please go to. Let's find out who he is. Shout out to you. Great job for representing Greeks.

Vinnie

Is that him?

Pat

Oh, was he the guy with one eye that had the. The one eye that, what, looked blind? His character in movie. You know the guy I'm talking about?

Vinnie

It might have been. Yeah, yeah, I think. I think that's him.

PBD

I don't. I don't know. I think it's the top Left guy. We don't even remember. All right, let's get to the next one. Next story I want to get.

Adam

I got something for you. PBD have.

PBD

If you haven't seen it, I'm not coming to you.

Adam

I actually have seen it.

PBD

Okay, go ahead.

Adam

Okay. I actually love the fact that the Odyssey is the number one movie in the world right now. By the way, we have another Greek in Miami, Giannis Oenta Kumpo. And I agree with you, Vinnie, on Marcelo hosting the ESPYs. Crushed it. But the reason I like the the Odyssey, the number one movie in the world is because it's teaching people history. Our favorite movies that we always talk about, Gladiator, Ancient Rome, Braveheart, the Patriot, Saving Private Ryan, all historical movies. You know, a lot of young people think that Homer is Homer Simpson. Learn from history, you're destined to repeat it. Number two, biggest takeaway. The number one move in the movie was the Trojan horse. I think Europe should watch the movie at this point. Understanding the third World. And then pbd. The last point. What I loved. This guy goes on this 20 year adventure to do what? Return home to get his queen and get his girl back. So you go through the struggle. The struggle is real. But I thought it was great and historical. Epic movie.

PBD

Yeah. Fantastic. So what'd you give it? 0 to 10?

Adam

I give it a 9.0.

PBD

Okay, good, good. Okay. All right, so let's get. Let's go to the next story. Next story I want to get to is I kind of like the story. A lot of times people think, you know, if I buy a sports team, a lot of money to be made in it. And all this stuff is there, is there not? Well, this MLS newest billionaire owner thinks investors can do better than buying a sports team. Really?

Adam

Yeah.

PBD

I mean, and he, by the way, he does math to give you actual rate of return on what it looks like, depending on how you make your investment. So. Peter Malik recently acquired control, majority control of Major Leagues Soccer Sporting Kansas City at a valuation of approximately $700 million, but says investors can often earn better returns with far less trouble elsewhere. The LA Lakers rose from 67 and a half million dollars, purchased in 1979 is what Jerry Buss bought it for 67 and a half million dollars. He bought the Lakers and they just sold it for $10 billion in 2025. An annual rate of return. You ready? Of 11 and a half percent. The S&P 500 in the same exact period has done 12.4% with dividends over the Same period, which would have turned to 67 and a half million dollars into 16 billion dollars. So it's interesting. Put the money into Lakers, you get to 10 billion. Put the money into S&P 500, you get $16 billion, $6 billion more. If you would have put it in S and P instead of a sports team, you could have outperformed better with a lot more anonymity, a lot less hassle, a lot less drama, just placing a trade. He said he views sporting KC as a passion project rather than a strictly economic investment. He built creative planning from approximately $30 million in assets in 2004. A financial planning firm overseas or advising on $700 billion. He remains the majority owner and has an estimated 16.1 billion dollar net worth. The sports franchises can still diversify portfolios because their values are less sensitive to recession. Since 2000, the average NFL and NBA valuations have multiplied roughly 17 and 26 times respectively, outperforming the S&P 500 during that period. However, team owners do not always prioritize profit, and sports funds commonly charge substantial management and performance fees. Malik recommends conventional private equity first, followed by sports only for wealth investors seeking an asset less correlated with public markets. Media rights growth and billionaire demand have pushed major North America teams to an average valuation of 10.1 times revenue, up to 2.9 times in 2000. 2000. Tom, do you agree with them?

Pat

Yeah, I do agree with him. And by the way, the 60s.

PBD

Thanks, Tom.

Pat

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

PBD

No, go. I'm teasing you. Go ahead.

Pat

Okay. Actually, I disagree with this. There you go. Just give me a nudge, I'll go. So for the Lakers, by the way, if you convert that to today's dollars, Vinnie, the 67 million, it's equal to 311 million today. So that's still for 10 billion. What is that, Pat, 33X or something like that? So that's still powerful. But here's what happened over that amount of time. Let's just look at the Lakers. What you had is television happened, then cable television happened, then local broadcast home games happened. When Pat and I, you were in LA and growing up, and you. When you were back there earlier in your comedy career, do you know that sometimes you can only have Laker games on radio and then other games would actually be on tv? Every single game wasn't on, every time they played, and then you had local tv. All of that created these bidding wars. And then the growth of cable and the growth of big advertising dollars led by pharmaceuticals, which is Another story we'll cover later. And all of the money that got in there to drive that. And so now if you look at it, where do you think streaming is going to maybe go up 30% of the latest TV contract? Pat, do you expect that in five years? No.

PBD

30%.

Pat

30%, 50%.

PBD

I don't know. I don't know.

Pat

But it takes that kind of jumps to make the franchise worth something because they live on it. So I think he's making a point that Psych's saying, hey, today you have a different purpose for buying a sports team. And it's not the appreciation that Jerry Buss got over the last 30 years.

PBD

Yeah. And by the way, it's funny, while we're talking about this, to me, if you look at basic numbers, the way he broke it down, one would have to run that in different runs, in different 20 year runs, 30 year runs, because you never know. You know, what is that famous line? Past performance is not indicative of future results. Future performance. A lot of husbands use that line as well.

Pat

But you, speaking of pharmaceuticals,

Vinnie

Tom is on fire.

PBD

Five minutes. I'm impressed.

Vinnie

What's in this?

Pat

So.

PBD

So, Adam, what do you think? What do you think when you hear something like this? Because it's, it's an interesting story. I like what the guy's saying. What do you think about his story? Well, you know, people, I got to

Adam

tell you, Vinnie and I were actually trying to pull our money together. We see all the success about the Savannah Bananas who were trying to buy the Miami Platanos and bring a team to Miami. But the, the, the number one thing that teams have in common that have the highest return on their investment is they do one thing, and that's win the biggest. Best teams that have the highest value, they win. Whether it's the Yankees, the Lakers, the Dodgers. I don't know what happened to the Cowboys. Shout out to Stephen A. Smith. But they win. Much like in Gladiator, you got to win the crowd. But for the average investor out there, you're not going to buy a sports team. Put your money in the S P 500, roll the dice, see who wins. But for those that are looking to buy a sports team, this is some math for you right there.

PBD

What is this show? So there's a new show in town. The Savannah Bananas are on their way to being as worth much as much as a team. $500 million. Yankees 8.2 billion. Dodgers 6.8 billion. Boston Red Sox 4.8. Good for them. For going to a number. It's a Phenomenal story with the founder.

Adam

It's the greatest show on the field and that's what it comes down to. You got to win the crowd.

PBD

He has put on a show and they're doing a great job with, you know what they're doing, by the way. Let me get, let me get to the next story. Tell me what you think about this. So White House, you know, Trump is selling millisecond access to his Truth Social blast and traders are already lining up and this story alone is creating a lot of controversy. Some people are saying, what are you, what are you doing? What is this all about? So let me read it to you and Tom, I'll come to you. This is a Fortune story. Trump Media plans to sell financial institutions millisecond access to posts from prominent Truth Social accounts, potentially including President Trump's market moving announcement. The service True PSI would give trading firms an advantage before post about traffic wars or other policies move stocks, bonds, oil prices and interest rates. Trump has the platform's largest audience with 12.9 million followers and remains Trump's media's biggest shareholder. He's selling expedited privilege access to information about what he is doing as a president, government ethics expert Kathleen Clark said, calling the arrangement an improper exploitation of government power of enriching himself. Trump Media did not say whether presidential posts would be included or what customers would pay. The company said that service would cover the highest ranking Truth Social accounts and launch next month with customers already committed. Federal conflict of interest laws generally restrict officials from profiting through their public duties. But presidents and vice presidents are exempt. Previous presidents nevertheless divested individual holdings and use blind trust. Trump has retained his business interest. Tom, thoughts?

Pat

So, first of all, I think Fortune is playing games at the headline here because they can. What you just read there is the truth. The president can't sell access to his proclamations, only to a certain group of traders who are then going to go trade on the open market. That's usually been done in the past and it's called Nancy Pelosi and we all looked at what happened there. And by the way, I'm just speaking of the objective. Look at her increase in wealth and what she controlled and what others in government like Ro Khanna, what their wealth increased. And so we all know, Pat, that that is something that's a sore point. You mean Americans are upset that there's two levels, that they think there's two systems of justice and they also think there's two systems of economic access. So. And there's laws here that prevent this so the President can't do it to his. But what they're saying, Trump Media and The Trump Media CEO, which is McGurn, Kevin McGurn didn't say where the presidential post would be. They're not, they're going to be the high ranking accounts, but they're going to give traders millisecond asset. And if you don't think traders already have millisecond asset access, they do. They have millisecond access to pr. You know, you'll have,

Adam

you're good.

Pat

Yeah. Have access to like pr. Like a press release comes out, something comes out on a. I'll give you an example. If you've ever seen a press release of an earnings report, Vinnie, you have text and then at the bottom you have the charts, they'll drop that. And then like right when the market closes or after the market closes and, and these guys get millisecond asset access that are making off hours trades or pre market trades for tomorrow. But they're already in. They already have that because the AI grabs that and grabs that chart immediately and jumps on it. So this is what they're saying, hey, Pat, would you like a subscription to the data feed? And you will have milliseconds.

PBD

Are you okay with it?

Pat

I am not okay if this is any of the Trump stuff because I think that on the federal guidelines that will come out and be not legal. I don't think you can do that with his post. But when you're doing this for everybody else, man, I understand they're going to make money for True Social. I understand that it's legal. But if it's Trump's company, it's kind of a bad look in a world where we have been calling Nancy Pelosi crooked. And yet here's another way that like the rich will get richer with proprietary access to data. Nobody else has any thoughts.

Vinnie

Well, the attitude is going to be, Tom, like you said, if they keep doing it and their side keeps doing it, why can't the other side do it? And if it's legal, Pat, so be it. You know, I mean it's the same as when Trump was talking with Hillary Clinton, which is like him and his taxes and blah, blah. He's like, I'm taking advantage of the. You guys make the laws, you guys make the rules. If you guys want to change it, you don't want me to do it, then change it. So and again, Tom, with me, it's like we obviously know, you know, it

Pat

can be legal, but not a good look.

Adam

Exactly.

Vinnie

So, but, but at this point, he has two years left. He's on his way out. I think Trump is a whole different attitude and whole mindset now. He doesn't care anymore. And he's trying to make.

PBD

Trump's gonna pardon himself, his family. You think he's gonna do self pardon and pardoning?

Vinnie

Can he do it? Can he pardon himself?

PBD

I didn't just set the tone.

Vinnie

Oh, Pat, how about this? 1000%. I want him to pardon everybody. I don't care. Gardner, his chef. Pardon every single, every babysitters. Pardon everybody. Because if they're doing it, why not? Okay. Because it's not gonna stop. Once the Democrats come in power, they're going to do it again. So, yeah, pardon everybody. Who knows I might need it at

Adam

one point, shout out to Vinnie, Oprah Winfrey, just, you get a pardon, you get a pardon. So I'm with you on that, but I agree with Tom, man.

PBD

I'm going to be a little bit

Adam

critical of Trump right now. This is not a good look for the administration. At the same time, you don't really know what the truth is. Whoever wrote this article can't handle the truth. Bingo. But as much as I don't think it's a good look, here's something that maybe some people can learn. You can disagree with some policies of Trump, but not take your ball and go home and be a baby and not try to quit the team. I'm still on Team America. I'm still on Team Trump, and I can criticize. Maybe this move isn't ideal. I don't know. Tom said it's not a good look. I agree. But one thing you got to give Trump credit for, the shady Democrats people and even Republicans, they're doing stuff behind closed doors, back room deals. Trump's putting it out in the open. All right, cool. Pay, pay for play, you know, quit pro quo. And essentially, what Trump is honestly enabling people to do at the end of the day says, look, if Wall street could get rich on this, you can too. Ideally, Main street getting rich off of Wall street should be the goal for everyday people growing their wealth. But Wall Street's going to do what Wall Street's going to do to make that money, essentially. So not the best look, but I, I get it.

PBD

I, I, I, I don't know, man. I don't know. I, I, I think to me, to me, if you do a lot of this stuff, you're just gonna allow the next guy to do, well, they did it. Well, he does it well, he does kind of like when the kids say, well, he did this and he had candy and how he did, he doesn't say, well, then I'm gonna do this. No, that doesn't make it right. If we're just gonna use that script of them doing it. So if there's nothing illegal about it and the lawyers can argue that there's nothing illegal about it. Okay, you want to do it, fine. If there is, I. I'm not comfortable with it. I don't think it should be something, you know, Stephen A. Smith did a video about a couple weeks ago saying, how did Clintons and Obamas all of a sudden become worth $100 million? How to become so wealthy so quickly? How did you make your money? And he was calling them out and it was kudos to him. And by the way, transitioning to Stephen A. Stephen A's daughter was on his podcast. Stephen was just with us two days ago. I don't know what it was three days ago. We're together. He came, he was at the Yankees game with us. But him and his daughter are on the podcast. I think his daughter's going to be a superstar. I think she's going to be a superstar. Talented. But what they're there. They ask a question of what his daughter would do if Stephen A got older. Would he have. Would she have him living with her and hiring a nurse or putting him in an old folks home? Listen to this answer. And I'm curious, Tom, what you think about this? Go for it.

Vinnie

You need to find me my own house. My. You really are on drugs.

PBD

You need to find me

Vinnie

an AMEX card. You need to find me more clothes. You know what I mean? Like, there's so much to build. Like how you said you're still going up. We can go up together. This doesn't have to be a you thing. It can be a we thing.

PBD

And then when I'm older and I have nothing.

Vinnie

Nursing home. And I need you to take care of me.

PBD

Nursing home.

Vinnie

You can't do that. Nursing home. You're not gonna do that. Two words, dad.

Adam

Nursing home.

PBD

So you put your dad in a nursing home.

Adam

Nursing home.

Vinnie

Well, what else would I do? Take care of you myself.

PBD

How about that? Or put me in your home and have 24 hour nursing assistant in my

Vinnie

house with my kids and my car and my husband in my pool, in my guest room. I'm just your dad. Exactly. The one that made it all possible. I would love you from a distance, dad. You know I love you from a distance. We better that way. You. My heart's up. Can we leave now? Can you just say goodbye to the audience? Because I'm done.

PBD

I'm done with this.

Vinnie

I had a great time here with.

PBD

You guys are right there.

Vinnie

I would watch this reality show all day.

PBD

What do you think, Tom? What do you think about what she said? Nursing home. He's making the money. This, this the highest paid guy in the marketplace. Okay. He's the goat in a space. He's made a lot of money. That money's probably going to go to her. What do you think about the answer

Pat

she gave Stephen A. If you're listening, and I know you are, I have two lovely daughters that have a slightly different perspective, and I think they need to get together because I think it's just perspective of kids sometimes and that they need to see it. My mom lived with us and grandma was playing cards. Grandma was playing Uno. And they loved it, Absolutely loved it. My sister's up in Boynton beach could come to visit. We would go each other dinner, and it was a really precious time. And I think as your daughter gets older and closer to that and she can see the joy of her kids with grandpa, you know, doing things, playing uno, going out in the pool, doing all that. Clearly, Stephen A, you're going to have your own house. It'd be more like she and her husband, her kids, maybe they get the privilege to move into your house this side of inheritance, and then you all live together as a family. But if you ever want to get together, one of my daughters in town, you and Samantha, let's get together. It won't be a fight. It's going to be a perspectives on the table.

Vinnie

I. Stephen, if I was you, I would right now. You know, when you're doing the trust and everything, put it in there, make it, sign it to where nobody gets anything unless you get to live in the house with them. They have to take care of you. Can you do that? Nobody gets $1. You don't get a dollar. I'm in my underwear walking around your house with a coffee, doing whatever I want to do.

PBD

He's down the street from some of the best estate planners.

Vinnie

Oh, he's Gucci.

PBD

He can get it done. Adam, how do you process it? You have a different angle than what, Adam, than what Tom and Vinny just said.

Adam

Yeah, I do, man. Look, I love Stephen A. But when I watch that little thing, you know, that emoji with the face that goes like this, that was me for Stephen A. But at the very least, we know, you know, they say you get it from your mama. She gets her talent, her personality, from her dad. She is captivating, I'll give her that. But she failed the test. You think Stephen A. Is not thinking in 3D? He says, Let me put my beautiful, talented daughter on camera. And I'm a tester. Let me see if she's going to take care of dad when he gets old. Sweetheart, unless you make $100 million, you're not going to have what dad has. He's going to what's have called an estate plan and long term care and he's going to have it all set up. He was seeing if his daughter loved him enough to not throw him under the bus on tv. And she did. With grace, I may add, but not the best. Look, but Stephen ain't stupid. He knows what he's doing. I agree with Vinnie on the will, but I see what PBD does with his dad. Move them across the country, part of the life. It's. It's incredible. I see the relationship that Tom has with Babs. I see the relationship that Vinnie has with his mom. It makes me want to get closer with my mom. We all know that my dad isn't here, but at the end of the day, I hope that Stephen and his daughter worked this out. It wasn't the best look for her.

PBD

Yeah. So Luz, look, listen. I mean, a part of this, I'm sure they're having fun and they're trolling the audience, of course, and they're rage baiting the audience. But let me tell you, I saw something just yesterday, maybe even early this Morning, by Dr. Oz.

Adam

Okay.

PBD

I don't know if you have that clip I just sent you. I just texted it to you. There's a clip I just saw from Dr. Oz. The benefits of having your kids around your grand. Around your parents, meaning grandparents. Watch this. Go ahead and break it down if you can. Refresh it. Watch this, folks. Secret weapon for success may not be a tutor or coach or an expensive app. It might be a grandparent. And as one, I love this research. See what I'm talking about? First off, grandparents are anxiety busters. Kids with involved grandparents tend to have better emotional well being.

Pat

Why is that?

PBD

Because grandparents provide unconditional love with a lot fewer rules. We can hand out cookies and life advice in the same afternoon. Second, we're brain builders. Studies show grandparents can have a huge impact on a child's vocabulary and their language development. It turns out that hearing the same story for the 15th time is actually educational.

Adam

Who knew?

PBD

And third this is a big one. A strong bond with a grandparent can

Pat

help protect kids from risky behaviors like

PBD

jumping into the pool. Right? They can help them feel connected to someone who loves them, believes in them, and occasionally sneaks them extra dessert. They tend to make better choices that way. So the next time you're deciding whether to call Grandma or granddad, remind everybody that it's not just family time. It's emotional support. It's brain training.

Pat

Extra protection for the road.

PBD

You can pause it, right?

Pat

I don't know. Does Gabriel ever sneak an extra dessert?

PBD

Are you kidding me? Like, if you look at the. Brooklyn. What? Yesterday, we come home and she goes to Vinnie. Uncle Vinnie, they hid all the cookies. And I'm like, uncle.

Adam

And.

PBD

And Vinnie goes like this. Oh, they can't do that. You deserve everything. I'm like, vinnie. No, she goes.

Vinnie

She.

PBD

Let me tell you guys what happened. I'm going to give you the funniest scene. I wish I were recording this. We're at the Yankees Stadium. We're giving a tour to all our clients at Bediva Consulting. If you're one of our clients that you know, we had an event at the house here, which. Anyways, so we go to the Yankee Stadium. We're done with the tour. I come out. Jen brought the kids. Okay, try to visualize. I come out. Brooklyn is 20 yards away from me. I'm walking up to her. Vinny's over here. Brooklyn goes like this. Oh, my God. She's running like this. And I put my hands out, and she runs right past me to Vinny.

Adam

And she goes to Vinny.

PBD

You know why? She brought a ring. What do you call it?

Vinnie

Ring pop? She asked.

PBD

Don't get me wrong, she loves Vinnie. So it's not just the candy. They have a very good relationship together. I love her, but she runs up and then she gets the ring. Pop, everybody wants to do everything for Brooklyn. The part I want to go back to with Stephen A. And his daughter is there's a massive benefit to being around grandparents who are positive and who give good advice and counsel to the kids. By the way, when my kids are around. Tom, you're getting smarter. Forget about kids. I'm getting smart. Every time I'm around town, they're telling stories. When I came back yesterday, we're talking about Homer. It was a competition of who can give more stories about Homer, and it's him or Brooke. It's like, well, here's what happened. Here's what happened.

Vinnie

Here's what happen.

PBD

Brooke won. But the idea is you're always learning. So, you know, I think it's a special gift when you have your grandparents, your parents around your kids. It's an added layer of reassurance, knowledge, wisdom, a bunch of benefits, and probably a little bit more cookie and candy because Papa knows Papa has a section and he tells me, but I only give sugar free candy to Brooklyn. It's only sugar free candy. I said, dad, it's still red. You know, these are not good things. No, no, it's okay. It's okay. Anyways, you know, I got to change some of the guidelines we have when it comes out to candy, but we're figuring that part out. Let me go into a couple other stories here before we wrap up. One of the stories I want to get into is, is Bill Maher. Here's Bill Maher. Bill Maher is being interviewed about who he's going to be voting for. And you don't hear him say stuff like this ever. But here's what Bill Maher recently said. He says, yes, my vote is in play. What does that mean? Here's Bill, you told J.D.

Pat

vance you're open, your vote is up for grabs.

PBD

Yes, my vote is in play because

Pat

it can't be Trump running. So I'm not living in communist America. I mean, I know the talking point is that, well, it's not communism, it's socialism.

Adam

Okay?

Pat

I've read the quotes from the DSA

PBD

platform from their own mouths.

Pat

Don't tell me I'm not seeing what

PBD

I am am seeing. And DSA again, they, they say things

Pat

like, you know, takeover of key industries, government. That's communism.

PBD

You know, there is a definition, by the way, Trump's doing that too, of course. Yes.

Vinnie

And to a degree that we haven't

PBD

seen any other president do without a Republican deal.

Pat

That's crazy too.

Vinnie

He's got a piece of intel, a piece of the AI companies.

PBD

He treats everything like it's a real estate deal.

Vinnie

You told J.D.

Pat

vance.

PBD

So what's happening here? What's happening here with Bill? You think anything's happening with Bill and how many other bills you think are out there?

Vinnie

There's Pat, there's multiple, like, I mean, Stephen A. And you know, and I love him to death, but like the Bill Mars and a lot of these people that have woken up chamath and all them Pat, they're in a different category, but they, they're finally realizing what you created. Okay, but it's too late. For 10 years, the bill Mahers and all these people cheered as all these radical Voices, Pat took over their own party, and while they didn't give a damn, their only message was Orange Man, Trump, Bat, he's bad Hitler. They obsessed over him. They mocked anybody like us that sounded the alarm, okay? They labeled anybody that was talking crap, Pat, as hate. And they applauded while these extremists hijacked the agenda. Now some of them, like him, are waking up, but guess what? This horror, the Frankenstein monster that you helped create, they're here, and they're not going anywhere. Pat. It's too late, okay? The fight for the identity of the party, it's not. It's coming. It's around the corner. It's here, Pat. It is here, okay? They didn't lose their identity. They surrounded it. They wanted it. And while they were looking this way, Pat, this kept growing and growing and growing. And now Trump is on his way out. Two years left, and they're turning back, and they're like, oh, my God. And for Bill Maher. For Bill Maher, one of the biggest leftists out there. Now he's finally saying, oh, wait a minute. This. Socialism, communism. Guess what? You guys spent freaking 10 years talking crap about one man, and now your party is finished. So now deal with it, and that's it.

Pat

The first thing that Bill Maher said is, well, Trump's not running. So that shows you that the first thing on their mind is, no Trump, not Trump, never Trump. All Trump. Bad. And not everything is in that category. They should take a look at what's happening in a lot of sectors and a lot of things in the economy. We got to get the war done. We got to deal with data centers. There's a lot of things that can and will and should be addressed, but it's all about not Trump. A lot of things that can and will and should be addressed, but it's all about not Trump, not Trump, not Trump, not Trump. So now that there's an open decision, he backs up and what does he say? I'm not sure I like what I see next to the D. Yeah, I'm not sure.

PBD

And here's him, by the way. Here's him saying that to J.D. vance. And by the way, the D is, guys, please, like, yeah, Tom is on a roll tonight.

Vinnie

Definitely.

PBD

Democrats, go ahead.

Pat

Yeah, Democrats. If this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this Democratic Socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, with.

PBD

They don't believe in capitalism, no prisons.

Pat

If this is where they're going, my vote is in play.

Adam

Okay? I'd like to hear that.

Pat

It Actually, always has been. I just, every year I don't make my decision by who has an R

PBD

or D. I actually always came to

Pat

the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better. Sure.

PBD

And voted for them.

Adam

Okay.

Pat

And Trump can't run again. And he'd be a little too exciting for me anyway.

PBD

So it's either gonna be you or Rubio.

Pat

Like, if this is where the Democrats.

PBD

If you would have said 10 years ago, there's going to come a time that Bill Maher is going to say Marco Rubio or J.D. vance, maybe even five years ago, that Bill is there. Imagine how much. And by the way, do you know, the more and more you watch. What? You know how I keep saying the Democratic candidate could be aoc? Could be aoc, could be aoc?

Vinnie

Absolutely.

PBD

I am hoping it is. I am hoping it is.

Vinnie

Why?

PBD

You know why? Because if she's the Democratic candidate, there is a lot we think. We think. Right. If you look at this right now, Gavin Newsom is 1, who's 2 Ossoff, who's 3 AOC, but by how much? By 1%.

Vinnie

Yep.

PBD

Assaf just came up because he's been calling out Trump lately and the full

Pat

nation has not seen him yet.

PBD

I hope it's aoc. I hope it's aoc. Because if it's aoc, you know, we keep thinking like, all Democrats are bad people, all Republicans are bad people, all Muslims are bad people, all nationalists are bad people, all Jews are bad people. That's simply not true. And we have to just understand that part. Okay. Are there some Jews that want control and they want to do this and do. Yes. Are there some Muslims that want to see Sharia law come into America? Yes. You know, are there some Democrats that want socialism and communism?

Adam

Yes.

PBD

Yes. Are there some, you know, Republicans that want all colored people gone and just a white nationalist and yes. Are there?

Adam

Yes.

PBD

We can't say no, but there's millions of sensible Democrats that they're Democrats because of pro choice, that they're Democrats because of what happened with Martin Luther King or some of the events back in the days, that they're Democrats because of other issues that took place and they became Democrats. Those Democrats are on the trading block right now, open to the idea of going conservative. So I hope socialism makes a massive move. But if there's one thing Republicans have to get it right, we get the masses. If the Republicans don't understand the solution. And it's not a hard fix, by the way, it's actually a very easy fix. If a republic, if JD Or Marco Rubio. One of these two guys comes out and talks about no taxes, no federal income tax paid. If you vote me, no federal income tax paid for anybody under the age of 30. What does that mean? We want to give you a head start. That'll be the hottest thing you'll announce. It's about 250 billion. I don't know the exact amount. I think it's a 250 billion of how much revenue comes in. Can you pull up how much taxes is collected of people under the age of 30? They have to figure out a way to come out and do something that folks under the age of 30 don't pay any federal income taxes. You know what happen if they do that? Why are we doing this? This is your head start. Hurry up and make money to get the down payment for your house. Hurry up and make money to get money to have kids. Hurry up and make money in your 20s. And don't lala gag because this is your only chance you have that you will not be paying federal income tax. Go make that money. Republicans have to figure out a way to make life better for the youth because they are really going through it. They are. So to me, I hope it's an aoc. I hope it's a socialist. I hope it's that person. And I think Democrats are going to be like, look, I'm a Democrat, but I'm not a socialist. Those are two different things. And I hope that changes right there. So total federal income, I said 250 billion. It's around $275 billion. If you just do federal income taxes. Okay, let's invest that into the kids. That money's going to go into the economy anyways. All that 275 to 350 billion is saying what? Cut some shit that you do at the government. Give that money to them. That money goes into the economy. They're going to spend it. They're going to buy a house, they're going to buy a car, they're going to have kids. They're going to do. They're going to invest into education. Some of them, they're going to invest into some dumb things. But that's the risk you got to take. But if somebody can get behind that message, that message, I think that'll be attractive. And I like to see one of those two guys saying it early. Don't wait till election time. Somebody needs to, on a podcast, drop it to be the first to say it. Rubio or JD1. They have to believe in that idea.

Adam

Of course.

PBD

And two is let's find a way to make life better for our youth.

Vinnie

But Pat, amazing point. That should be the campaign freaking slogan. Like no threat federal tax under 30. That would be on a T shirt and sell. But guys, let's not like Bill Maher is acting like he's so surprised. And who did he endorse in 2016? It wasn't Hillary Clinton. Who did he. Who did he back? Bernie Sanders, the freaking guy that goes to Russia. Bill Maher supported him. He said, FAA goes, I want to help your campaign. I want to see you get the nomination. So it's not as if you were willing to vote for a guy that's a socialist slash communist that wants to go to freaking Russia and be the. All the taxing. All, all of your freaking people, all the millionaires and billionaires. It's like, give me a freaking break. It's too late. It's too late. So now you guys have to deal with what you guys created.

Pat

So he's turning and there's people that are noticing it. I remember I was pretty shocked. I just went back and looked it up. On May 15, Bill Maher did an amazing post on X I thought was well written. I hope he wrote it and it wasn't one of his writers. I hope it came from his heart because it certainly sounded like it did and he sends it up there. And Sarah Eisen, who's very conservative and she's on cnbc, she retweets it with the. With simply this, Pat, every word, period. Because she agreed with where he was going. And so I believe that there is a change going with him. You know, you can't judge. You gotta be careful about. Who do you support back then? Vinnie. Cuz that's very true. And he said a lot of things that hurt and sting conservatives like us. But you're also allowed to morph and change. You're allowed to evolve forward.

Vinnie

I agree. That's fine.

Pat

You know, when I hear the things that my, my mom said when she first got married to my dad, that was the influence of her Democrat parents who were FDR Democrats. But you look at my mom now, forget about it. She's evolved and she's older and concerned about security and things like that. I think you're seeing that there's a lot more to your question that you asked, Pat. I think yes, there are a lot more. Bill Mahers, they're finding it safe to come out in public and because when Bill Maher does that, he's allowing other people that have different platforms to say it's safe to come out and say that.

PBD

I'm coming to you. Adam, thoughts?

Adam

Yes, sir. Well, I agree with what PD said about individual groups and their own self interest. Every group should be looking out for their own self interest for your family, for the people around you. The, the catch is, does that come with, do you want not only what's best for you, but what's best for America? The problem that Bill Maher is realizing, that a lot of us have realized for a few years now, that a lot of us have realized for decades, is the Democratic Party is not the Democratic Party that we're used to. They don't love America, Full stop. This new dsa. They don't want to save America. They don't want to pass the Save America Act. They want to change or tear down America. So thank God Bill Maher, 70 years old, voting Democrats for 50 years, almost, is going to potentially change his vote. I'm not so much worried about that. I'm worried about what that represents. I think 20, 28 more people that have voted Democrat their entire life are going to for a second say, you know, what is this really me? And my advice to them is make them earn your vote. Don't just give it to them because you're black or you're Jewish or you're a woman. Make each party earn your vote.

Vinnie

And Tom, I think at the end

Adam

of the day, it will be Rubio, but we'll see what happens.

Vinnie

Tom, I, I could forgive him. And guess what? If he wants to come and vote Republican and help us in 2028 so we could keep the future looking bright, I'm all for it, but the damage has been done for the 10 years that it was. Tom, think about everything that happened for those 10 years, from the border to everything. Crickets. It was just Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. And now we're, we're left with, I agree. And now that they let the enemy come in, Tom, and now we have to deal with it. And I'm, I'll forgive him. That's fine. I'm a Christian. Good. I'll forgive you.

PBD

Let me do this. Let me do this. I have another candidate for you, okay? And I think you, you would be into this candidate, so I think you, you would be into this candidate, so. The state of Maine produces incredible candidates.

Vinnie

I didn't know where you were going.

PBD

This, this candidate is so talented. Can you type in Maine Senator Ashley Ashley Webb. I want you to watch her break down her policies on why he is. I keep Saying she and he. Why he is so qualified to become the senator. If you have the clip. Is that it? Social media sensation is this.

Vinnie

That's him. There he is.

Pat

Okay.

PBD

Yeah, that's the one right there. Can you play that clip, folks? The only thing I tell you is my only suggestion as you're watching is you're going to be inspired to want to vote and support and, you know, support him financially. But I'm telling you, take a couple days to assess your vote and your support. Play this clip. This is Ashley Webb. What's his real name? Do we know his real name? I don't know what his real name is, but this is Ashley Webb. Go for it.

Pat

What qualifications do you have to serve in the US Senate?

PBD

Oh, I ran for office senior several times. Didn't win, but he did run. And then I'm a songwriter, and then I write my own books, and then I suppose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to the people, and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now.

Vinnie

Like, we get lied.

Adam

Your whole life is a lie, dude.

PBD

Like, this was going on with ice. Pretend like. Pretending like these victims did something wrong. That's unacceptable. And I suppose the biggest thing is, like, I'm just an angry citizen now, and if I got elected, I'd be an angry senator. And I think that would probably be their worst nightmare.

Vinnie

The Democratic Party in a nutshell, is right there. The same thing that we were just talking about about the Bill Maher. That's what you guys created. A man pretending to be a freaking woman, talking about people lying in the city.

PBD

But I think Bill Maher is against that.

Adam

That.

PBD

And by the way, I think most. But honestly, I think, Vinnie, this is the part that we have to understand. I think truly most sensible Democrats are against that. I think the average Democrat, if you. We have 10% of a. 10 or 15% of our audience is Democrat that watches podcasts, Right? If you're a sensible Democrat and you watch that, you're going to be like, what the hell are you guys doing? And by the way, how the hell did he make it on the stage in the first place?

Vinnie

Time.

PBD

How did. How did that happen? You know what he said? I don't even want to say. Do you want to read this? I don't even want to read this, by the way. Show it. I'll let the audience read this.

Vinnie

Oh, my. Yeah, I can't even say it out loud.

PBD

Oh, like, I mean, this is a question being asked, and the guy Says he gets his monthly period, but through his, you know what behind. You think the average. By the way, honestly, I'm going to ask you, I'm curious to know what you'll say. What percentage of Democrats hear this and they say, I'll support this.

Adam

Honestly.

PBD

Honestly, I want to know what you. No, I disagree.

Pat

I think it's fair.

Vinnie

But can I say one thing, though? Let me stick up for myself. Bill Maher didn't start talking negatively about the trans move until when? Till when?

PBD

Recently.

Vinnie

Recently. So where was he for all those years when we were saying.

PBD

But to be fair with. To be fair with him, one of the greatest monologues he did, breaking down, saying, at this pace, we're all going to be gay. Remember that one thing that he did, and that was like two and a half years ago. So I don't know. I think Bill, deep down inside is so furious with his Democratic Party that he's been so publicly supportive for decades, and he is sitting there saying, what the hell is going on? But the only reason. I don't even want to get into this. I don't want to ask you guys, what do you guys think about the story? I'm moving on. I only show this to give you another option for somebody they can be excited about for the future.

Vinnie

Okay, but did you. Did you see the conspiracy? Can you show it, Humberto, that Ashley Webb is actually Graham Platner? Because he's. She's running to take his spot. I slacked it to you. This. Guys, I'm telling you right now. Look at the eyes, look at the facial structure. And you guys tell me that this isn't the same person. Adam, could you see this? Watch this. Look at this, guys. Wait for it. Wait for it. Oh, my God. Einhorn is Finkel and Finkel is Einhorn. That is. I don't know, but at least. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Pat

You know what? Pat wants to move on. I'll say this. Vermont Democrats and Maine Democrats are not normal Democrats. Listen to them up there. They're not. No, they're not. I'm not picking on them. I'm being descriptive because this guy is like a meatloaf song. I mean, they want this candidate.

PBD

And I will do anything.

Pat

No, no, no.

Vinnie

It's the other song.

Pat

It's. It. This is Maine Democrats. I want you, I need you. But there is no way I'm ever.

Adam

Won't do that, Tom.

Pat

No, no, no, it's. I want you, I need you. But there ain't no way ever going to love you. But don't feel sad, because two out of three ain't bad. That's the main Democrats song, baby.

PBD

Okay. All right, let me go.

Adam

I kind of think that Vinnie's right. I don't know if that was Graham Platner or Ma' Am Fatner. I don't know who that was, but,

Pat

Patrick, Democrats are cringing.

Adam

Just when I thought, get any more absurd.

Pat

Wait.

Adam

And I feel like it's like the Austin Power scene when it's like, that's not your mother. That's a man, baby. And it's like, no, that was actually your mom.

PBD

But. Let me read this story.

Adam

What a ridiculous candidate.

PBD

Let me read this story. Let me read this story. Olive Garden, folks, becomes unlikely face of voter ID after restaurant policy goes viral. I don't know if you guys saw this tweet or not, so I retweeted it. If you want to go to Twitter and just go to my Twitter account, you should find it easily. Just go to it. So, Olive Garden, you guys know this is one of those restaurants that is on their last lifeline. Like, they're barely Honesty.

Vinnie

Yeah.

PBD

They're barely trying to make it.

Vinnie

Yeah.

PBD

But after this, I may have to take my family to just go to Olive Garden once just to support them. Can you go on their tweet first, please? Can you go on there? Because they're responding to somebody go up. Yeah. So there you go. So zoom in a little bit. What you need to know about the pasta pass sale starts tomorrow. So then Super Wamario asks a question. Are you able to order pasta for family using this pasta pass or that exclusively for the person with the card at the table? I don't know about you, but it'd be really weird with just one person having unlimited pasta while everyone awkwardly waits. And this is what Olive Garden said. No, the Never Ending Pasta passes only for use of the pass holder whose name is printed on the pass. Passes are personalized and non transferable. Pass holders must present a.

Adam

What?

PBD

A valid vote, a photo id along with the pass at the time of ordering.

Vinnie

Is it.

Pat

Yeah, that's from Olive Garden. And we had to Translate that from German 9. See, never ending Pasta is only for the passholder.

PBD

Now, keep in mind. Okay, I don't know what that meant, but, you know, you were doing so

Adam

good today on the jokes, Tom.

PBD

So when you read this, you kind of sitting there saying, wait a minute, I need an ID to get this unlimited pasta because it's so important, but I don't need an ID to be able to Vote for president.

Pat

No.

PBD

Can you imagine what's more important? Vinny Pasta or President Pats?

Vinnie

Have you ever tried the pasta?

PBD

It's really pasta, right? I mean, never ending pasta, by the way. Now here's the other thing. What percentage of Democrats you think support voter ID for Americans? What percentage of Democrats?

Vinnie

Democrats.

PBD

According to a CNN poll. What percentage of Democrats?

Vinnie

Can you pull it up?

PBD

Pull up that video. Do you know which one I'm talking about? No, no, I want you, both of you guys, I want you to.

Vinnie

72%.

PBD

Go ahead.

Vinnie

Or 60.

Adam

Yeah, I think 70% of Democrats think that ID should be how much needed to vote.

Vinnie

70%.

PBD

Okay.

Vinnie

What is.

PBD

So check this out right there, Right there. Play that clip, please. Just play that clip. Okay. 85% of white people favorite. 82% of Latino. 76% black Americans favorite Democrats.

Adam

So the bottom line is this.

PBD

Voter ID is not controversial in this. Thank you. Photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race. The vast. But here's the question. But Harry, respectfully, you should have. You can pause it right there. Respectfully, Harry, which party is trying to make it controversial? Cuz that's the other poll. Not the Republican Party. The Democratic Party like Newsom and others are trying to make that controversial. That even blacks are saying, why shouldn't I be able to get an id? I can get an id. Hispanics, I can get an id. But the Democratic Party says no, no you can't. Don't say that. It's very hard for you. So kudos to Olive Garden. They accidentally. If you were to bet and see Olive Garden politically, the person who tweeted it, which way you think they lean political Republican. No, the person that tweeted on Olive garden, that's a 19 year old social media coordinator that's probably tweeting that back and giving the details like a 22 year old.

Pat

Something like that could be 85%. My gosh.

Vinnie

Well, Pat, maybe Olive Garden should run the voting system in the country. Well, that you vote and they give you like a handful of pasta or like a meatball like in.

Pat

So like a national day off to vote.

Vinnie

Yes.

Pat

And free lunch.

Vinnie

Free lunch, dude. Olive. Pat, you should definitely. With an id, Olive Garden should take over and run the voting. It would happen in one day too and everybody would get fat.

PBD

So Adam, where you at with this by the way? When's the last time all of you guys had Olive Garden? Honestly, when's the last time you ate?

Vinnie

I ate there One. One time. And it was. I was so. It was ridiculous. I took it.

PBD

When was it? How long ago?

Vinnie

20 some years ago.

PBD

Oh, you haven't been there 20 years ago.

Vinnie

I haven't.

PBD

When's the last time you get out? Olive Garden?

Pat

I don't think I've been to Olive Garden the last three years. Three.

PBD

Three. Three years. You were three years ago.

Adam

I haven't been to Olive Garden like

PBD

Adam, when's the last time you got Olive Garden?

Adam

At least three weeks since I went.

PBD

When is the last time you went to Olive Garden?

Adam

Man, I tell you what. I haven't ate a carb in 22 years. I'm trying to stay lean and mean.

Vinnie

What?

PBD

Guys, it's a basic question. Adam, when was the last time you went to Olive Garden?

Adam

20 something years ago.

PBD

Okay. That's all you got to say? So, okay, now give me your thoughts on this Olive Garden story. Go ahead, tell us your Olive Garden story. What are your thoughts about this Olive garden story with IDs?

Adam

Well, this is the rules for thee, but not for we. Everybody knows that ID makes sense. Guys, can we get past the. The fact that you need an ID for everything? To rent a car, to buy cigarettes, to buy alcohol. I'm traveling across the world right now. What do you think? I just show up with an Olive Garden pass to get through customs? You have to show your ID. You have to show your passport. It's nonsensical. 75. 80% of Americans are like, yeah, you need an ID because they have a brain. So if Olive Garden can do it, we should probably take a note from Prima Pastaville and implement our voting systems. But some of our government officials and politicians are too weak and feckless to actually bring this up.

PBD

Let me tell you, we won't forget.

Adam

We're gonna ask for your id.

PBD

That's Amy Coney Barrett. That's why she should resign. Amy Coney Barrett should resign. She could have done something about it. The Supreme Court should have done something about it. This was a top three issue for me, and she voted against it. Okay. She voted against it. Can you pull up. Did Amy Coney Barrett vote to support Voter ID on ChatGPT? Did Amy Coney Barrett support Voter ID at the Supreme Court? Okay, so the point is, this was. This was.

Adam

How many people. Question for you, pbd.

PBD

How many people what?

Adam

How many justices voted for and against?

PBD

I think it was a five. Four against. And what's his name? Kavanaugh had a explanation on his.

Adam

If I'm not, who are the justices that voted against the state.

PBD

We talked about this just last week.

Pat

That shows three amigos, plus Roberts, plus Tony Barrett.

PBD

So one, five decisions, two conservatives, three liberals. Can you go a little bit lower? Go a little bit lower? A little bit lower. Wasn't that the chart that we had that we went through this? Hey, wasn't that the chart that we had? We had a chart about this last week. So to me, a big, a bigger part about this is that this was a common sense thing, that Supreme Court voted against it, that the president came back and said, I'm not doing the housing bill with the Congress unless if you add voter ID to it. And then eventually came back and said, let's go ahead and do it because it's the right thing to do. And they did. This was the chart. Yeah, this was a chart. If you want to make it bigger. This is AMY Coney Barrett, pre2022. She voted 81% of the time with the conservatives, and then afterwards, 59, 57, 50%. And she just became the person that's not helping pass a lot of the things that the American people voted for. And so you need Supreme Court to have a lot of these things happen. Let me get to the last story before we wrap up. Last story I want to get to is this is a weird story. Weird story. Pastors are using AI to help write sermons, grapple with where to draw the line. And you know who wrote this story? Wall Street Journal. I would have never guessed Wall Street Journal would write the story, but let me read it to you. Half of all pastors say they use AI for brainstorming or idea generation. And roughly a quarter used to help write sermons, up from 12 in 2024, according to Borna Barna Group. The trend has drawn theological pushback to the Vatican. Earlier this year, Pope Leo warned clergy that artificial intelligence can't give a true. Amelie Daryl Stelter Stetler, lead Pastoral Bible Methodist Church in Oklahoma city, is among ChatGPT's top 1% users and runs a Facebook group of 500 pastors experimenting with technology. He makes 600 a week plus a housing stipend and takes construction jobs on the side. A sermon used to take him 10 to 15 hours to prepare. A chat bot does it now. First batch research shaves off several hours. This AI does not enjoy what it finds, he said. It cannot love it. The time he saves goes towards people, the hospital visits. Tom, what do you think about pastors using ChatGPT for their sermons? Does it bother you?

Pat

It doesn't bother me. If they're using it just to pull research together. But you know what's the interesting thing about the pastorate is being able to bring it to the lives of people where they're living today. In other words, scripture doesn't change Christ's teaching, doesn't change. How we get saved, doesn't change. But the things that we're fighting as parents, like our kids know, making decisions and feeling insecure because social media, that's a new thing. And bringing messages to people where they live today in the new context of life as we see it as it gets complicated. It doesn't bother me if they're using ChatGPT to assemble it together. It's not like he's going to say, hey, I'd like to mix it up a little bit on the story of the Exodus from Egypt. Should the Jews make it or not? That's like. No, no. Exactly, exactly. But you see what I mean, Adam, it's not like you're going to take AI and say, nope, the waters of the Red Sea close in and all those poor Jewish people die. No, they cross on dry land. So it's not going to change the teachings.

Adam

But I hope.

Pat

And what the Pope said, it's not a true homily, meaning you're not bringing it together into the life of people. Because part of being a pastor in preaching and teaching is you preach warnings and you teach love, and then you preach applications. So what goes through here, it doesn't really bother me, but I. I hope it's not a shortcut to people maybe being an uninformed deliverer. If someone did a chatgpt on your sales system that you built, Pat, and then they had no experience in sale and they're trying to make videos about it, it's going to look clumsy because they're not authentic. They have nothing to draw on. Am I right?

Adam

Okay.

Pat

It's the same thing for a passer. If that's happening, then that the. That would really bother me. But if it's somebody like Dudley saying, hey, I'm going to organize. Bring me all the verses together on love from Corinthians through Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians. I'd like to talk about the Paul preaching on love from a New Testament perspective, and he can pull that together in 10 minutes and put his sermon together, then I think that's a really wonderful thing. Yeah.

PBD

Vinny, where are you at with this?

Vinnie

Well, I. I love. I'm. I'm gonna go with Tom. What he said AI should be used As a tool. Like, if he uses it, a pastor, to like, organize notes or, you know, where does it say this? And it brings that up. It's like. It's like using it as a Google or like, Bible. Like a Bible app. But the second it starts writing the sermon pattern, they're just memorizing it. I'm not a fan of it. Like, it should come from the. The sermon from, like, prayer and. And, you know, you're studying the Word and the Holy Spirit. What are you gonna say, Tom?

Pat

The Holy Spirit and Spirit inspiring you?

Vinnie

Yeah.

Pat

The way it says in the Old. In the New Testament.

Vinnie

Yeah. Not in algorithms and that. Who knows? Whoever's in charge of it starts twisting this or watering down the scripture and making it not go the way that it's really supposed to go. So, you know, people go to church not to hear AI. I want to hear the pastor. I want to hear his experience, his story, and what God has placed in his heart.

PBD

That's what I want to hear. Quick shout out to Dudley. Dudley one day shows me every spur, every. What do you call it? Sermon he's ever given. All the notes and all the notes and Vinnie, every word of every sermon he's every ever given is written on a yellow pad. Boxes and boxes of the last 40 years.

Pat

Jeez.

PBD

And it's. It's insane. Like, every.

Pat

It's like the Library of Congress.

PBD

Everything he reads from stage to pulpit, he hand wrote it.

Vinnie

I love that.

PBD

Everything, he's handwritten it. So no wonder he's one of the greatest pastors we have in America when you would look forward to go hearing him speak on Sunday. If you've never checked him out, go check him out. Some of his sermons. Dudley Rutherford, he's phenomenal. Adam, I'll give you the final words on this because I know you're heavily involved. You spent a lot of time with pastors, and let's see what the. What the crazy thing that you're going to say right now to us. Go ahead.

Adam

I also speak sarcasm, so I understand exactly what you're saying, pbd. But what I. What I think about chat GPT and AI is use it, but just don't become it. So the one thing that chat GPT cannot replace is whether you're a podcaster or a pastor. It's the ability to tell a story and connect with people on a human level. We're getting so robotic, so technical, so much AI out there that we don't know what's real. What I'm so happy about, and Encouraging about. And thank you, pbd, for kind of helping me is more people going to church, more people going to synagogue, more people getting God in their life. I'm in Israel right now. I didn't think I'd be doing a podcast from Israel, minus the audio issues. And here's a funny story for you, pbd. I'm going to tie this whole thing together. You know, I land in Israel and I go to this little bookstore and you know what book I see right there? Dudley Rutherford's book about his trips to Israel and what he worked, what he learned. Walking in the footsteps of Christ. So I bought the book. So I'll be reading that book from Pastor Dudley Rutherford.

PBD

Great of a story.

Adam

Full circle, coming together. Come home to Jesus, pvd, because he loves you.

Vinnie

And can I. I know we're done. Pat. I want to give Adam a shout out, which I freaking love you for it. Adam, where are you?

Adam

I'm in Jerusalem.

Vinnie

And you're still wearing the American flag. The pin. That's what I'm talking about.

Adam

You'll see. I interviewed the in the former Israeli ambassador to the us Michael Orin. He had a Israeli and American flag pin on. I said, sir, thank.

Vinnie

Yeah, it has to be. Yeah, that's it.

Adam

Thank you very much.

Pat

Hey, while you're there, go visit Ahavat Yeshua. And it's right in the middle of Jerusalem. Write it down. Go see Ahavat Yeshua. Go visit that group.

Adam

Tom, you must have read my mind because I'm going to be there tomorrow, baby.

Pat

Are you serious? That exact place?

Adam

I'm not joking.

Vinnie

Bingo.

Pat

That's fantastic.

Adam

Church of the Holy Spirit Sepulcher. Tomorrow, bring us back some gifts.

Vinnie

Adam, I want.

Adam

The last time I.

PBD

Fantastic.

Adam

The last time I was here, I went to the Armenian area.

PBD

Yes.

Adam

And I think I got you some gifts from there.

PBD

I, I, I. We're going to be going soon, but we're going to go to Armenia and then we're going to go to Israel. We're going to be coming soon, so stay tuned. And we got to go to Poland as well.
