Amy Coney Barrett Threatened, NYC Data Center Ban, OpenAI vs Apple| PBD Podcast #833
109m 47s
The transcript explores the intense personal and professional risks faced by Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett due to violent threats and intimidation, including incidents where she had to wear a bulletproof vest and deal with a swatting attempt. Her voting record, which shifted significantly after the Dobbs decision, raises serious questions about whether fear influenced her judicial decisions, undermining the principle of judicial independence. The discussion highlights that such threats are not just rare but represent a growing danger in the current political climate, with only three documented assassination attempts in Supreme Court history. The narrative emphasizes that the role is not for everyone—especially those who feel the pressure of public scrutiny and personal safety. It also contrasts Barrett’s experience with the broader political environment, including Trump’s upcoming speech on election integrity and Iran, and the allegations of industrial espionage between Apple and OpenAI. The overarching theme is that when political pressure threatens judicial impartiality, the rule of law is at risk. The conversation concludes by advocating for a more transparent and resilient judicial system, where justices are empowered to act without fear, and where the public demands accountability, especially in high-stakes decisions. The discussion also touches on broader issues like voter ID, election fraud, and the role of technology and espionage in shaping public policy, underscoring how fear and misinformation can distort democratic processes. Ultimately, the core message is that protecting judicial independence is not optional—it is foundational to the rule of law.
Did you ever think you would make it?
I said I'm supposed to take sweet victory
I know this life meant for me
Adam, what's your point?
The future looks bright
My handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here
You are a one of one?
My son's right there
I don't think I've ever said this before
So let me get this straight
If you choose to become the Supreme Court Justice
How much risk do you have with that job?
Huge
So imagine you go in choosing to have one of the most difficult jobs
You hate it, it's controversial, it's difficult
Then when you get death threats
You start siding with the other side
And your voting record changes
If that's a job you got
Then don't be a Supreme Court Justice
If you become a president
Or if you become a vice president
And you say I'm getting too many threats
If you become a military guy and you go to war
And you're saying hey man
These enemies are trying to kill me
That's the job, don't do the job
Go take a different job
Anyways, it's one of the top stories
I got a lot of thoughts on that
When Amy Coney Barrett numbers came out
The fact that after she got the threats
She talked about how incredibly devastating it is
The types of threats she's getting
That she has to go home with a
What do you call it?
With a bulletproof vest
And explain to her sons that she's taken off
And I get that
But guess what?
That's the job
That's the job
And we'll get into that story
I got a lot of thoughts on that specific story
Anyways, good to be with you guys
IBM stock drops today
25% in a single day
Apparently the worst state they've had
In how many years, Tom?
50, 60 years
They've never had a single day like this
IBM
And there's a tie with that story
In H-1B visas
That they're mainly starting to hire
Their numbers, when I share it with you
You're going to be like, wait a minute
The numbers drop like that
Yes, they had a certain expectation
I'm hitting, I think, $16.1 billion
They fell short by like $2 billion
And the market's like, what happened here?
This is a little weird
We'll address that
Amy Coney Baird, for sure
Spain beat France
Not going to lie to you
I was hurt
I didn't like it
I was rooting for Mbappe
I'll just say it
I think Spain's the most boring team
In the World Cup so far
And every time I say that
They're the Spurs of the 90s
They're the Cleveland Cavaliers of the 18
Craig Elo
Mark Price
Brad Doherty
Tim Duncan
Derek, what was the guy's name?
Parker
Just a very boring, boring, boring team
Spain is
But they're freaking good
They're very good
Wow
And Argentina beat England
Had to call my friend, man
Paul
He was all ready for $20,000 tickets
All this stuff
Talking to
I'm suggesting him
A couple different sponsors
To reach out to
To go through this challenging time
With England
But there's a lot of story
With Bellingham at the end
Slapping one of the players
Argentina holding the sign
That they're not supposed to have
A political message
The scene where Bellingham
Said something to Messi
And then Messi's like
Oh, really?
Okay, no problem
Look what I'm going to do
We can't even play that clip
Because the clip on X
Was taken down
Because anything with them
Are taking it down
But it's leading to Spain
Argentina
It's what it is
And there's a picture of
Messi
Vinny just showed us this morning
Of Lamin Lamal
When he was a baby
And he's like
Almost giving him a bath
You know
So I don't know
What's going to end up happening
He's his daddy
Yeah, at that time
But we'll see
And the interviews
Messi's been doing
The stuff he's been saying
It's phenomenal
Trump's got a speech
He's giving tonight
A lot of people
Are speculating
On what happened
They're saying the speech
Was leaked
To Wall Street Journal
Of course
All those leaks
Always happen accidentally
Nobody would ever leak
The story
To get headline
And marketing
And stuff that comes to it
Some of the things
That they're going to be
Talking about
Is foreign
You know
Countries colluding
In our elections
No
And some real
You know
Real decisions
And maybe even
An executive order tonight
And we were hoping
We can talk about it
As well as the movie Odyssey
But it's not out yet
And so as much as
We want to trash Odyssey
Some people are saying
It's a good movie
I don't know
I'm going to go watch it
I'm going to go watch it
Vinny told me
It's like a 17 hour movie
Here we go again
One of these long
Three hour movies
That you go
And you have to prepare
Pea breaks
By the way
When they do three hour movies
Are commercials like
Two hours as well
Like do they do
One hour of commercials
For three hour movies
Yeah
It's like a four hour
It's a full day
You're committing to
The drive
The food
The parking
You know
Too much
Anyways
We'll see
We'll see with that
But Trump has given
A speech tonight
Corporate espionage
Is taking place
Between OpenAI and Apple
And guess who
Is defending Apple
A guy who's a trillionaire
Is defending Apple
Not surprised
Because of Sam Altman
But apparently
This is some really
Ugly
Ugly
Nasty stuff
That OpenAI is doing
We have to address this
Then a
Same sex couple
This is a Vinny story
Vinny's bothered by this
A same sex couple
That paid for a surrogate
To have a kid
That paid for a surrogate
And apparently
The kid comes out
In a way
They're not happy about it
With some health issues
And they're trying to sue
The girl
If I'm not mistaken
Am I saying that correctly
Am I roughly there
Yeah
They're suing her
Because there's a
Birth defect
That they didn't
With the kid
Sign up for
They wanted her
To abort the defective kid
So they could go
Have another surrogate
With a perfect kid
And she said
That's just not
What I'm going to do
Yeah
By the way
I'm not stretching that
That's exactly
Wow
We'll talk about that
Taco Bell
By the way
If you guys have been
Eating a Taco Bell
Your kid or Taco Bell
The whole
Situation with this
One new virus
That
We spent 45 minutes
This morning
Honestly
They were trying to
Teach me how to
Pronounce this word
Because this is going to
Be another one of those
Moments where you guys
Question my English
As my fifth language
And I welcome you to do it
That's going to be okay
But I'd love to see
How you pronounce it
To all the perfect
People out there
That think they speak
Perfect English
You go on and say this word
What is it
Cyclosporosis
Cyclosporiasis
Did I say it correctly
Or no
Poreasis
Go ahead Adam
I'm going to give you
I'm going to give you
I'm going to give you
The thumbs up
You got that one
Whatever man
It is what it is
I'm taking
Hooked on phonics
And I'm taking
Other classes
But we're getting there
It worked for you
We'll figure this thing out
Then AI data centers
Something happened
With AI data centers
In New York
Where they're the first
State that's saying
The screw
You know
The hell with
AI data centers
So what does that
Really mean
We'll address that
And last but not least
If you're in the military
You're 30 years old
And you have low T
There's a guy
Named Pete Hex
That wants to
Increase your T
He wants to
Increase your testosterone level
Especially if you're
In the military
He wants a bunch of
Jacked
Benching two plates
20 times
Type of guy
Squatting three plates
Big legs
You know
Pig arms
He wants those types of guys
So he's kind of like
The old school Russian style
Of you know
In Russia
Most of the military guys
You would look at those Russians
You knew
That was like a picture
Perfect commercial for
You know
Testosterone
Or sipping it
Or TRT
Or any of that stuff
Yeah and that was
Just a woman Tom

that being said let's get right into it first story i want to get into is amy coney barrett
amy coney barrett tells the world that she's been getting threats and the world sympathizes
a lot of conservatives do it's not an easy job to be supreme court justice especially when you have
to vote a certain way but this report comes out this tweet if you want to first show the numbers
then we'll go to the clip and then i want you to see what other supreme court justice
said when they were trying to scare the crap out of him and saying even if it kills me i'm not
letting you guys do this on the face of a previous president joe biden in the video i want you to
watch this let me read it to you amy coney barrett's record tells a troubling story okay if
you can zoom in a little bit to to the right before dobbs she voted with conservative position
in 81 percent of unanimous cases since then that number was dropped sharply into the 50 to 60
percent range a lot of people say why including on major cases involved involving birthright
citizenship you know what birthright said it's stuff that liberals would even agree with so
birthright citizenship and uh election procedures you know the whole voter id stuff that was going
through as well and administrative power where she has sided with chief justice roberts and the
liberals the dobbs leak triggered violent threats and protests aimed directly at supreme court
justices
if the threat of violence or intimidation can move a justice vote on fundamental issues we have a
constitutional crisis on our hands and i agree with this tweet judicial independence is not
optional it is the foundation of the rule of law when justice appears to bend under pressure public
trust collapses and the entire system is at risk can i give a respect to this tweet of this person
can you go to the name of the person so i can give him a shout out i just want to make sure the right
roscoe
uh roscoe smith uh is that the sixth i think it's roscoe smith the fourth can you go back to
the tweet please so so as you go and you go through this this cannot be allowed to stand
etc etc look at the left you look at the left is how the votes were 81 percent then it drops
to 59 57 and 50 and then this video comes out where she's talking about the threats she got
that one time she had to go home with a vest on not this one it's the other one where she does the
fox interview if you don't have it i think if you go below that you should find it when you see this
clip of her when she's out there uh if you just do you have it or you want to go uh no not this
one there's one of her being interviewed on fox amy coney barrett where she's being interviewed
on fox and she's explaining the threats that she got and uh by the way all you have to do is
here let me just send it to you from here if you don't have it i just send it to if you want to
pull it up okay she explains how it's scary for her she explains how she had to go there you go
she explains how she had to go to her family and her son watch this this is tough folks i i'm i'm
totally sympathizing with her and that she's gone through this watch this so i thought i would just
share a little bit about how the threats have affected me and my family personally um they have
required me to my children to think about and see things that children should not have to see or
think about one example
is when threats to my life were particularly intense a few years ago around the time of the
dobbs leak my security detail sent me home with a bulletproof vest and i carried it into my house
put it into my bedroom dropped it down on a table turned around and my 12 year old son was standing
in the doorway of my bedroom and he wanted to know what it was and why i had it and i didn't know how
to respond because maybe i lack imagination but i didn't expect that performing this service was
going to put me in the position of explaining to my children that i was going to die and that i
had to wear one it's also been reported in the news that roughly six weeks ago i was the victim
of a swatting incident at at that point my teenage son one of my teenage sons opened the door to go
out with friends and saw in our street it was full of police cars who had responded to a false report
of gunshots and raised voices in my home i was very very grateful that i had supreme court
order to stop the police outside my home because they were able to stop and meet with and explain to
the county police that it had been a false alarm and so the police did not actually attempt to enter
you can pause it right there so by the way devastating this should not be happening nobody
should have to go through this especially amy who is only in her early 50s you can tell she's very
young and she's got seven kids her and her husband have seven kids together starting from 25 to 20 to
18 15 13 and 12 i believe they have seven kids if i'm not mistaken it's six or
seven kids big family this shouldn't happen however don't take the job don't take the job
because watch what happened when they try to push another guy for the same job and look how he reacted
look at the difference go for it i'd rather die than withdraw look at joe biden how he looks at
him if they're gonna kill me they're gonna kill me just watch this wait for it fan duel is now

run from bullies i never cry uncle and i'm not gonna cry uncle today whether i want to be on the
supreme court or not
so i thought i love him so you see the difference there so here's the thing so one could sit there
and say well why don't you sympathize with her we do but this is a very very important job if you
want to go to my twitter account what i said about it i mean i'll just pull it up here on what i have
is if this job comes with threats this job is risky this job has a lot of pressure this job
isn't for everybody but if you're scared for your life
then quit my suggestion amy coney barrett should resign and step out of the way you should and and
by the way we shouldn't judge her for it it shouldn't be like she's a quitter she's no no
if if you realize you're in this i had a guy one time he told me this and i'll come to you guys
because i want to hear your thoughts and to me this is the most important story you know why
this is the most important story what have we learned the last six years who has all the power
in america supreme court absolutely there is no story
bigger than this in my opinion if all of a sudden they scare the crap out of you go from 81
conservative to 50 step the hell out of the way yep one time a guy who was on my board he said to
me says pat i can't do these board meetings anymore i said why not it's because i'm getting anxiety
i said really he says i'm not even comfortable presenting in front of the board it makes me
really nervous i said no problem let's have a meeting i said which which part of it and we
had a cordial conversation one of the best employees i've ever had in my life and i said
you know this is the best employee i've ever had in my life by the way phenomenal one of the best
employees i've ever had in my life but we sat down we had a conversation we removed the responsibility
somebody else and he crushed the responsibilities that were left with him. That's okay. It's okay
if Amy Coney Barrett says this is too much pressure. Resign. But if you're going to vote
in a different way because they're scaring you, you're impacting the people who this is going to
affect for the next few decades. Few decades. Few decades. Yesterday, Rogan and Vance were speaking
and one of the things that came up was that Rogan said it's almost as if Democrats want to
be able to cheat because who has a hard time giving IDs out? Joe is saying this very common
sense conversation with Vance and he says, you know, even during what he called it COVID, they
wanted me to have a vaccine card, ID card. I think he's saying something like that. What's the big
deal? These are the types of things that Amy Coney Barrett impacts. I'm sorry. I have a very hard
time. Call me black and white.
This job is not for everybody. Get a Josh Hawley in there. Get a Cruz in there. Who's the guy I
like the most? Trey Gowdy. Get a Trey Gowdy in there. Get some of these guys in there. By the
way, if Trey says I don't want to do it because I talked to Trey once, too much pressure. Don't do
it. But get somebody in there that wants the job and knows the threats that comes with it. I'll
pause. I've been going on a rant for a while. Tom, your thoughts on this?
Well, first, I got some facts for people. Threats against senators, congressmen,
and Supreme Court.
Apparently, the FBI investigates 20-some threats that are maybe credible threats a week. In other
words, lunatics sends an email or they intercept something, but nothing comes of it. The person was
just blown off steam, makes some comments. That seems pretty regular. Do you know how many actual
assassination attempts against Supreme Court justices there have been? Three. The first
happened in 1889, and it was Supreme Court Justice.
even field. He was tracked and being stalked, and so he hired a security guard, and at a train
station in California, he was attacked by the stalker, and the security guard, 1889, with a
Colt.45, shot him dead. It was a bona fide assassination attempt. The next one would happen
a hundred years later. Harry Blackmun. Who's Harry Blackmun? The author of Roe v. Wade.
In 1985, a bullet was fired through a window of his house from an assailant outside that fled,
but it was a bona fide assassination attempt. Apparently, the guy was trying to follow the
shadow of him. You know, even if you have the curtains pulled, Pat, they can see your shadow
walking. He was trying to make the hit, so it wasn't just a drive-by. It was a bona fide attempt,
and he was the Roe v. Wade author. You know when the next one happened? 2022. It was Brent Kavanaugh.
He traveled from California, had a Glock, pepper spray, map of Kavanaugh's house,
overview of police detail, zip ties, so he was ready to do it. Apparently, he had a mental
breakdown, and he called 911 on himself, Pat. So, thank goodness whatever happened there.
Now, Dobbs' leak happened in early 2022, before the Kavanaugh. This guy was triggered by Dobbs
and went to Kavanaugh's house.
Amy Comey Barrett, when was she confirmed? October of 2020. Remember what went down with
that? Is that Trump 45 got her done just two weeks before the election, and there was all
the controversy for the Senate, but the Senate got her done 2020 for the election. Why do I
bring this up? She knew she was coming into a really hot time, and a really intense time, and
she knew she was coming into a really hot time, and a really intense time, and a really intense
time, not only for America, but to be on the Supreme Court. And then to see what's happened
with Kavanaugh, that was a bona fide threat. That could have gone very, very badly. And I agree with
you. Look, if the situation is just so intense right now, and there is no shame in saying-
Zero. I can't put my-
Zero. And by the way, imagine her with all those children. How do I get security for every school,
every date, every- Yeah.
athletic event they go to, to protect all of my children and my family? And it may just be
something that she says, I can't do it. But what's interesting, we're entering into a time now,
thanks to Dobbs and other things, we've only had three of those full attempts on record,
and one, the bodyguard, 1889, shot the guy. But we live in a different world now.
Vinny.
And by the way, she's the only female SCOTUS, correct? All the ones,
Ketanji Brown and all the other ones, they're all left. They're all Democrats, correct?
Oh, yeah. She's the only conservative female.
So she's the only one, and it's sad, but I mean-
There was Sandra Day O'Connor.
And Tom, how many times, how- I've been on this podcast, Pat, for what, four years now?
Is it just me? I'm not saying the other side, the Republican conservative side, isn't violent.
There's crazy people everywhere. But when it comes to this type of stuff,
it's as if it's only coming from one side. The Supreme Court exists for what?
It's not as if. Keep on your thought, but I got to interrupt you and say, it's not as if. It is.
Okay. Thank you, Tom.
What's its job, Tom, Supreme Court? Uphold the Constitution, not to bend to intimidation, okay?
If a violent threat could change the way that you're deciding rules, Pat,
then the mob has the power of the law, and that cannot freaking happen.
That's why I love that you said, with all due respect, you can't take the heat,
you have to get out of the kitchen, and I feel so bad for her.
You think we're happy that her 12-year-old has to sit there and go, hey, what's that?
And she's like, oh, it's a bulletproof vest because they want to kill mommy, okay?
But if fear's influencing your judgment, you have no choice.
You have no business to be in the highest court in the country.
You made a great point.
I think it was like two weeks ago, Pat, where you're like, at the end of the day,
with all the noise and all the fluff, when it comes down to these people,
they're making the decisions, and when it comes to the serious ones,
they're kind of leaning towards the right decision with the decision, Tom,
or 6-3 or whatever the number is.
But we cannot let these people win.
And how many times, Tom, every time we're trying to do something to help the country,
interfering with the ICE agents, murdering of Charlie Kirk, God rest his soul,
even on their own side.
Remember Melissa Hortman?
She tried to vote against giving illegals health care.
They shot and killed her at her house.
And who's doing it?
You think a Republican did it?
No, it's people of the same freaking party, Pat.
So if that kind of behavior succeeds in changing Supreme Court decisions,
then the rule of law is under attack.
And we can't do it.
And I'm sorry.
And the Senate election is more important than ever.
Put DeSantis.
Get a DeSantis in there.
This job is a risky job.
Yeah.
This is not for everybody.
I fully understand Amy.
I get it.
If she was my wife, I would say, babe, hey, if you're going and kids are not safe
and this is what's happening, hey, let's figure something out.
So, Adam, your thoughts.
Well, PBD, I think it's actually a very important discussion.
We don't really talk about the Supreme Court all that often.
Trump gets all the media attention, Iran, everything that's going on.
But I think you bring up a very interesting conversation.
So we may be respectfully being a little unfair to her because if you look at her
voting record, she's actually pretty damn conservative.
I mean, the way that it goes, Tom kind of broke it down.
There's nine justices at the Supreme Court.
You have the conservative wing and the liberal wing.
The conservatives by far are Clarence Thomas.
He's like 10 out of 10 conservative.
And then you got Alito, who's like right behind him.
Interestingly enough, the next conservative, if you look at their voting record, goes Gorsuch,
then Amy Comey Barrett, then Kavanaugh, having a beer with him would be fun.
Then.
What they call like center right judge Justice Roberts and then center right.
Then you have this huge wide gap between the three female liberal judges, Elena Kagan,
Katonji Brown Jackson, sorry, Ms. Jackson, and Sotomayor, who's like the most liberal Obama inductee ever.
But here's what I see.
I see six conservatives, legit, some are center right, and three liberals.
I understand this is a tough job.
And, you know, PBD, you always say, what's the number one job of a mom, a mama bear?
Safety and security of her kids.
If she feels threatened for her kids, maybe she could consider stepping down.
But as far as what she's done for the country, as far as her voting rights, abortion, affirmative action, Second Amendment, religious liberties, parents not transing their kids.
She's been pretty damn conservative.
So I'll tip my cap to her on that.
But the Dobbs decision, though, was Roe v. Wade.
I think I think Adam missed the first three minutes of this.
The clip that we had where the main analysis is how it changed.
So maybe you went on chat, GBTN said, who's the most conservative?
After Dobbs, it changed.
Guy, after Dobbs, it changed.
Dobbs was what year?
Did you see the dates?
So she may have been very conservative pre.
No.
After Dobbs, June 2022.
She got an October of 20.
After that, she dropped.
So, you know, if if that when you see numbers like that happen because of an event that takes place, I'm going to sit there and have serious conversations with you and see.
And by the way, how often has a Supreme Court justice stepped down, stepped down and resigned?
How many times has that happened in the past?
Would they just not not because of anything controversial or family reasons for non-controversial reasons?
How many times have Supreme Court justice resigned for non-controversial reasons?
Yeah, normally it's just age.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's happened or not, but guess what?
This may be a good time for us to consider this.
OK, there's.
been 116 different people that have served the supreme court 107 are no longer serving 109 which
might nine so if you mean true resignations not retirement zoom in a little bit john jay well
that's a long time ago 1795 yeah oliver ellsworth ellsworth tom's great great uncle surprise chief
tom your great grandfather evan hughes 1916 to run for president abe fortis 1969 amid ethics
controversy i'm not looking for that so the short answer is most left through retirement
genuine resignations are uncommon well let this be the first one let this be the first one or
get hardcore security and go back to the way you truly vote not letting the other people
scare the crap out of you where you
know
when it comes on to birthright citizenship it's that complicated of an issue for you to vote
against for that that's that's not you know or you know voter id or other things anyway so to me
the biggest concern with the story is her way of voting changed after dobbs because the threats
that she got and that that cannot happen you can't have something like that happen adam
i hear you loud and clear yes i did hear the first three minutes sir
i'm just asking a simple question you know they say like correlation doesn't
necessarily mean causation did it actually change after that or did the cases change
i just showed you them because what's that i just showed you the numbers right there
no meaning did the cases change the point which is like because look here's what i know
and i'm this is not the hill i'm going to die and i promise you this her mentor is who
anton scalia very conservative guy what they basically say about this lady this conservative
justice is that she's reliably reliably conservative but she's unpredictable they actually want
that in a
in a justice where they're not just voting across i don't have a problem with unpredictability
is it fair to say that the dobbs decision was the most controversial decision we had the last 20
years the last 50 years is it fair to say so so how many people were furious over the dobbs decision
a lot of people well guess what scared the crap maybe it scared the crap out of her
you know and then you're laying in bed at night with your husband saying babe i don't know if
this is that worth it you know maybe let's pump the brakes a
little bit maybe let's it's not worth to have the risk for the kids you don't think those types of
conversations happen at that when you're laying next to your wife and your husband like hey let's
change it you don't think they're doing it of course that conversation took place 100 of course
it did do you think and they're at home talking about kavanaugh how was work today yeah brett
kavanaugh a guy was at his house he was armed he had everything he had don't take the job honey
it sucks oh my god you know the president got there was assassination temp on him he's the
freaking president or all the time he's the president he's the president he's the president
oh my god you know such and such they try to foul him hey did you see the detroit pistons try to hurt
michael jordan yes don't come through the middle oh my god that's that's just not yeah
it kind of what happens when you get that kind of a so yeah to me i'm just i'm i i think i think
it's something that she ought to consider and and uh move on and have her life where i'm at with
this okay let's go to next story senate is vital in november next story tonight trump speech a lot
of people are saying what's the guy going to be talking about you know what's he going to be saying
all of a sudden he's giving a speech on thursday yesterday he puts a tweet out about iran released
a girl that was a hostage is over here now and he says hey this was a good move this was under
biden but now is this and then they bombed him there's attacks all this stuff that's going on
so what is the speech going to be about well apparently the speech is yeah right there iran
has allowed an american citizen who was wrongfully detained in december of 2024 for the president of
sleepy joe biden to leave the country she is now safely outside of iran and is in good condition
the united states of america appreciates this gesture of good will and she's going to be
from iran okay so where's that going with let me let me read this to you so we kind of have an idea
so trump is to address iran why do you guys see my glasses and here here we go trump to address
iran election integrity in prime time speech tonight this is an axios story president trump
prime time speech thursday night from the white house is slated to include election integrity and
up to two weeks of election integrity and up to two weeks of election integrity and up to two weeks
on iran whether whatever else he seems important to my senior advisor tell axios it will be a pot
purry the dough ever available to reporters trump hasn't given many prime time direct to camera
speeches from the white house he wants to do more of them the advisor said trump announced on truth
social on monday that he plans to give a speech to the nation on thursday at 9 p.m eastern standard
time the specifics beyond that we're in the white house and the expect topics are less certain but
two issues are on top of mind iran election integrity
tom what do you know about the speech tonight so this wasn't leaked the white house wants to make
sure that people know that those are going to be the two core things and they're trying to get out
in front of all the the armchair quarterbacking which i think is smart i think it's smart for the
president to let a reliable news outlet you know know that the general outline of what he's going
because you want you know um americans to tune in what's he going to talk i'm talking about iran
i'm talking about election integrity and i think what's what's going to happen is that we're going
to hear from the president and what's really coming up here is also is to talk if he's going to talk
about election integrity he's got to talk about what everybody has been talking about the last
week even people that are moderate and not necessarily a full conservative have been on
cnbc talking about now we know this was an absolute fraud what do you network say about it
chamath was on saying that on cnbc calling the networks up so i think this is this is good news
to hear from the president and i think this is a good news to hear from the president and i think
this is a good news to hear from the president and i think this is a good news to hear it makes me want
to tune in and hear what my president has to say about election integrity about november how are
we going to keep november um lined up and then also we hear about georgia that maybe ossoff and
warnock maybe they were maybe they weren't and maybe there's some oddities i'm going to call
them oddities so we don't get a letter um that we're in the electoral system there and maybe
they would have won maybe they wouldn't who knows but georgia a little iffy i love the fact he's
talking about somewhere in this is not only talk about iran and not only talk about the election
but also talk about affordability and by the way i want to see that interesting you're saying it
because ossoff says trump has georgia election obsession he said trump fears losing the midterms
and will retreat reheat debunked election conspiracy theories to deny his 2020 defeat
and attack voting rights he argued that renewed fraud claims would force collins to embrace
theories that have performed poorly in general election trump's obsession with georgia election
revealed his fury
that black voters were instrumental to his defeat ossoff said while seeking support for voter
protection and an fbi investigation in fulton county is ongoing a judge recently rejected a
justice department subpoena seeking extensive personal information about thousands of fulton
county election workers and volunteers calling it a staggering overreach a judge said the statute
of limitations has expired and a request covered an unjustifiably brought period adam your thoughts
on this so the speech is going to be tonight correct 9 p.m okay so we don't know exactly
what he's gonna say but you know the one thing that i find interesting we talk about iran we talk
about united states you know who we don't often talk about the most are iran's neighbors so we
often hear about you know israel u.s versus iran here's what i think trump is doing i think he's
basically saying hey guys oman uae bahrain kuwait saudi lebanon syria all these countries it says
you got to pick a side at this point guys because you know they say clean up your name
neighborhood clean up your house before you start telling other people what to do this neighborhood
has basically been abducted by iran's radical philosophy and what trump has done is made all
these middle eastern arab countries pick a side so what have we seen conclusively we've seen
countries like the uae aligned fully with america and almost israel they signed the abraham accords
bahrain jordan kuwait saudi even my opinion is some of these countries are going to recognize israel is
actually not the bad guy iran is the bad guy we should really really consider signing the abraham
accords and let's do everything in our power to basically snuff out iran the easy way or the hard
way but the end of the day iran's got to go the irgc's got to go and the middle eastern country's
got to step up in order to do it bennie listen i i if my opinion pat there's there's no reason
that he because they've reported the cia is going to be there radcliffe is going to be there fbi odni dhs
this isn't going to be some rinky-dink you know speech about me and tom talked about this yesterday
pat i think it's going to be serious and you know it's serious when people like aoc and the left
don't want it to come out this they have an ethical obligation the networks not to air his speech so
they know what's coming okay and if i had to guess and this is my opinion pat the allegations are
going to be about china and their involvement tom you mentioned warnock and also pan i've been
saying this for years i know i've been saying it on this podcast i believe my opinion that china is
our enemy and we're going to have to do something about it and we're going to have to do something
about it and we're going to have to do something about it and we're going to have to do something
they're not our adversary they're our enemy and i think the deep state with them you want to talk
about collusion i think covid wasn't by accident it was released on purpose pat because of the
attitude that trump had towards china with the trade with the tariffs and all of a sudden in
an election year tommy a freaking virus comes out of a lab that fauci who got a freaking blanket
10-year pardon comes out and nobody gets in trouble for it i think that's what's going to
happen pat and i think it's going to be tied to somewhat with the save act because let's just be
honest the law is going to be tied to the save act and i think it's going to be tied to the save
and if they're not going to win that's why the save act is not getting passed they don't want
to have any ids for any voters pat and guess what if they don't like you they will threaten you they
will try to assassinate you
Look at Trump and look at even our Supreme Court justices.
We just had that conversation.
They will threaten you and try to scare you into voting and helping them out.
Yeah, I agree.
I agree.
Can I ask you a question, Pat?
Yeah, go for it.
I'm sorry, were you about to say something?
I was just going to show what AOC said here.
If you want to play this clip, AOC on Trump and then Adam, I'll come to you.
Go for it.
Watch this, folks.
Speech, speech.
You know, he's basically doing a made-for-TV broadcast about the election.

with chronic migraine before they start.
It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month.
It prevents on average 8 to 9 headache days a month versus 6 to 7 for placebo.
Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor.
Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms.
Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition.
Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk.
Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache.
Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness.
Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection.

I don't think that we should be contributing to. any platforming of, of, of lies about our election and so I think that, you know, I mean many of, of. She's so smart.
Many news outlets oftentimes may receive transcripts and I think that we have an ethical obligation to not air things that undermine our election that are not rooted in evidence.
In fact, did you hear how, by the way, did you guys notice that I'm not talking?
You have really fast.
The bias in the question.
But that's Midas Touch, though.
Yes, Midas Touch.
But it's, it's like they're leading her like all the conspiracy and everything.
She's obviously, they're giving her a softball that she couldn't even hit.
She's bumbling as, as, as, even as an answer.
Adam.
Yeah, I agree with Vinny on that.
I want AOC to talk publicly way more often.
I don't hear enough from her because the more that she talks, she just exposes herself.
I want the DSA out there advocating, trying to rip up the Constitution.
She'll be your candidate.
So people with common sense will say. She will be the candidate.
Oh, these people, these are. Let's see.
I hope she is.
I swear that.
But, PBD, I could be wrong on this.
Why is Trump continuing to go back to the Georgia election fraud situation?
There may be something there.
I'm not saying there's not.
But do you think that's a winning message while they're going into midterms?
Do you think that's what the average voter cares about at this point?
Well, you know, they say he's playing 3D chess.
What do you think Trump is doing on this?
Well, I mean, you have to realize he got one of the big things that they wanted to pass
that didn't pass, and it was voter ID.
And yesterday, J.D. Vance is on Rogan, and one of the main topics is what?
Voter ID.
Yes.
And so why are they talking about voter ID?
Why is that coming?
Here's a clip if you want to play it.
Watch this.
And I think they cheat.
And I think they've been doing it forever.
And I don't think there's any other reason why you would have no voter ID.
And they try to say, oh, it's racist to have voter ID.
Like, what are you talking about?
Do you think other races are incapable of going to the DMV?
That's insane.
Yeah, it's. That's racist.
That's actually super racist.
That's really racist.
The implication of their argument is literally like blacks and Hispanics cannot go to the
DMV to get an ID.
By the way, if you look at the polling, black Americans are as pro-voter ID.
Even though most black Americans vote Democrat, they're still pro-voter ID as much as white
Americans.
They have integrity.
Most Americans.
So you're asking the question, why is he going back to Georgia?
So go to the seven states that are going to matter, right?
Go to what happened with Ossoff being somebody that potentially. could be a candidate on the left.
You keep hearing about this guy named Ossoff who's a rising star.
That name is coming up all the flipping time.
This guy's a sequencing guy.
He's not doing this for the hell of it.
Voter ID didn't go through.
Midterms are around the corner.
And if they have something, well, then show it.
Show it if they have something.
If they have something, show it.
But if they keep going to it without being able to show anything, it's going to be. It's going to backfire on them.
So maybe they have something today because one of the things they're talking about is
an executive decision that he may be making tonight that he's announcing.
And no one really fully knows what that's going to be about.
And Pat, and Adam, why it's so important.
Republican Georgia, you know why it's so significant?
In 2020, the margin was 12,000 votes.
Like, that's not something small.
And if you look back, they were covering up the voting thing.
They didn't want people to look at the voters, all the late night drops.
And by the way, going back to COVID, COVID was just a mail-in ballot freaking scam.
It's like, dude, it's very, very important.
And again, I saw the parts of the podcast with Joe.
He's right.
They're cheating, bro.
If you don't want people to see you voting, I mean, counting the votes, you're hiding something.
You're cheating.
If you don't want to check people's ID and you had an open border for four years,
give me another excuse.
Give me something that's not cheating.
Like, bring in 8 million people and then how. It's illegal to ask for their IDs.
It's simple.
For me, voter ID is a top three issue.
I agree with you on that.
Voter ID is a top three issue.
So for him, he has to keep that in there lingering for that to eventually click.
If I asked you eight years ago, do you think Dobbs is ever going to pass and change?
I'm willing to bet 80% would say, hell no.
Guess what?
He pulled that off.
Not easy.
Amy Coney Barrett was a part of that.
And now he has to create a little bit more pressure for people to say, you know, I think something could happen with that.
By the way, based on Cal.
She here's what Cal she has on what he's going to be talking about tonight.
It's seven hundred and twenty three thousand dollars.
If you haven't placed a position, you may want to go on Cal.
She and take a look at this and create an account.
But what is at the top at the top?
It's what?
What's the blue elections?
Ninety seven percent chance he's going to talk about election.
Save America.
Makes sense to me.
Democrats, Chinese, China, Biden deal, settle nuclear oil, communist communism, Venezuela hottest.
Oh, these are words that he's going to be.
Using the hat is so funny with the hottest or you just not on their alien block.
I'm surprised huge didn't make it.
I'm surprised you didn't make it.
Adam, did you have a follow up or.
No, I just.
Number one, you answered my question because I think I said what you're saying is it's a means to an end.
It's really not about the Georgia thing.
No, it's not.
It's the Georgia opens the window to talking about the same.
I think so.
I think so.
Yeah, it's a good question you're asking.
And I think I would do that if I'm in a position like that.
I'm going to be like, guys, no, no, this story can't go away.
No, no.
Keep it in there.
Keep it in there.
Keep keep the mouthpieces debating this and arguing this.
Let's keep that story going.
That's what I think.
Let's go to the next one.
Next one I'm going to get into is open AI allegedly stole from Apple and they're calling this industrial espionage.
That was the word that Tom was using.
It's like, Pat, this is this is industrials espionage.
And so it's a very big story.
Let me let me.
I'll go through the addendum first and I'll go to the other one.
I think page 24.
Is that the one time?
What page do you have it on?
On this?
This is a massive, massive story.
Main 10 is where it starts for you.
It's main 10.
See, I don't have it on my main 10.
Can I get your notes?
Mine doesn't say main 10.
So I went to main 10 and I don't have it.
Which one do you have as main 10?
OK, let me read this to you.
Apple sues open AI, alleging trade secret theft, says scheme was at every level.
CNBC story, Apple on Friday sued OpenAI in federal court in Norton, California.
alleging trade secret theft saying that the artificial intelligence lab took the iphone's
marker intellectual property in order to develop its own consumer hardware this much is clear
however at every level from members of its technical staff to its chief trade secrets
and confidential information the company said in a legal filing it's a shocking reversal for the
two companies which entered into a high profile partnership in 2024 when chad gbt was integrated
into the iphone's operating system open aico sam altman visited apple's headquarters for the
announcement but relations between the two companies have chilled since open ai announced
plans to enter the hardware industry last year when it bought former apple designer john ive
startup called io product for 6.4 billion dollars apple's updated version of its syria system which
is coming out this fall is based on google's gemini models instead of chad gbt most of apple's
allegations involve former employees who have interviewed who with or joined open a apple
alleges that open ai's chief hardware officer tank tan who is a former apple vice president
has directed apple employees interviewing at open ai to share apple secrets as part of the
interviewing process what he has directed job candidates still working at apple to bring
actual parts from apple to their interviews for show and tell sessions in which he and his team
at open ai can elicit still more apple confidential information apple said in the filing that is
insane tom your thoughts on the story so this is this is going to get really really big and the
question is going to be who's got the biggest lobbyist or the biggest um proxy um balls
with the department of justice and the department of and the federal trade commission i'll tell you
why so on one hand they're saying oh no no no in an interview like i'm interviewing you pat
hey pat
um you know you worked at apple tell me about some of the projects you worked on uh did you
really work on it were you involved are you some right those are fine questions on yes right on
your resume here it says you directed the project did you direct it or were you just involved i was
i directed the project these are standard interviews right you're sorting it out because
you know vinnie some people say they did more than they did of course well the line gets crossed is
uh do you have any schematics or anything and the allegations are people were encouraged to come to
the meeting with printouts or other schematics or things to talk about what they did and then all
of a sudden open ai allegedly had suddenly you're in an interview with 10 people
supposedly so if that's what happened that's bad what's even worse is there are allegations of
documentation that they said hey uh vinnie pat you know when you leave apple the following three
things are going to happen on your laptop with the security team if you do this this and this
you can evade the security detection if you want to you know bring any of that with you here's what's
dangerous about this what kind of salaries have we been hearing about top hires in silicon valley
we've been talking about ridiculous ridiculous white in an interview the other day said he's he
sits on a board of meta he says mark zuckerberg's the biggest badass i met in my life dana said in
an interview yeah he paid four engineers a 65 million dollar a year salary what did you hear
what i just said four okay can you find this clip meta says four engineers a 65 million dollar a year
four employees that that's the one right there play that clip can you make watches folks
no no sound i just got back from the meta board meeting zuckerberg who was a brilliant
gangster this guy is a gangster these people who who try to talk about him and everything else
i'm so blown away and impressed by this guy he's an animal and uh putting all the chips in on ai we
just hired like 10 kids that are 80 and they're like oh my god i'm so impressed by this guy he's
22 to 28 the average salary is like 65 million dollars
and they don't have to hear a lot of negativity about ai there's way more positives about ai
22 to 28 years old average salary 65 million dollars so when when they're trying to hire you
right now in silicon valley so this is what tom's talking about so basically the allegation that's
even worse it's bad enough to say
you're not a good guy you're not a good guy you're not a good guy
you know tell me what you did at apple interview question hey bring a couple things with you and
show them to him and all of a sudden you have a panel interview that's bad that's illegal you're
putting the applicant in bad situation and if that's the way it happened that sort of thing
would be illegal i'm not the judge and jury on this but then there have been documents and emails
found where they told them exactly how to evade apple security when you leave your job and come
over here and you're talking about we don't know what the salaries are but what dana white was just
talking about is just how
big the war is for talent it's a real war and so this thing this industrial espionage this is going
to be huge um the last time we've seen things this huge you know we had a giant one that happened in
formula one where ferrari guys mclaren guys stole secrets from ferrari guys they told the ferrari
guys to go have them printed out at kinko's when there was a kinko's and then the mclaren guys went
in there and faked the id and picked them up so it was just it's crazy but industrial has been going
on for a while but this is huge what's also big is a number of people that are lining up against sam
altman including elon musk you have the clip of what he said about elon musk elon is not a fan of
sam at all he calls him scam altman yeah he is not always matching there yeah he's not adam your
thoughts on this yeah you guys uh you're absolutely right with the elon thing you know
when did uh chat gbt open eye came out i think november of 2022 does that make sense since then
i feel like everything with sam altman has been drama and beef you bring up the elon mustang he
calls him what scam altman it's interesting do you remember i think tommy remember this he was
ceo he was fired then rehired there was also like there was almost like a revolt within the company
yeah he meaning sam that's right carlson tucker carlson interviewed him and basically kind of was
like did you murder one of your employees he's like what are you what are you insinuating right
here this bellagio guy if you remember that yeah of course it was a suicide it was a delivery
weird situation i'm making zero accusations i'm saying that's what tucker did but now it's not
even apple that's suing him apparently there's all these copyright infringements publishers
artists musicians authors everything they're in there's privacy uh concerns sam altman he's got
some explaining to do as they say by the way can you give me just the latest thing and it's around
mainly one guy can you pull up tang tang a great name tang tang it's almost related to fang fang
no no the first one yeah you go so who is tank tank so let me kind of give you an idea can you go
to images on who this guy is go to images tank tank spent 24 years at apple no you the second
one is not tank not the second one is tank the second one is missing a g there you go take the
g out there you go so that guy right there go go to all and go to his wikipedia spent 24 years at
apple this is the main guy the lawsuit just everybody knows he joined apple in the early
2000s became one of the company's top hardware executives was widely regarded as part of
generational leaders who helped shape the iphone
after steve job this is a heavyweight damn this guy's a heavyweight he helped oversee iphone and
apple watch hardware responsibilities included engineering and product design he was one of
apple's highest ranking hardware leaders they have a score like you know how the military
there's sergeant major general yeah little general brigadier generals are one star major
generals are two star lieutenant lieutenant gen three star and then general is a four star right
so this guy's one of the heavyweights there then he left apple in 24 and he joins johnny ives
new hardware company which open ai you heard just bought for 6.4 billion dollars open ai requires
it and so why is he important open ai wants to build ai device that could someday compete with
the iphone and so apple is suing because they're saying you're taking this away so
this guy is the main figurehead of um in this discussion uh so it's interesting it's kind of
like what happened with when jake paul i believe recruited dana white's former cfo
that went to him i don't know if you remember that or not jake paul recruited him armenian guy
oh yeah he recruited the armenian guy good looking guy he got that red jacket on and he's got a it's
kind of like a power player these types of things happen right there nakisha uh bidarian who left
there he was a former ufc cfo from 11 to 2016 and helped orchestrate the historic four billion
dollar sell to endeavor so he then goes and goes jones jake paul when this kind of stuff happens
it happens it happened to us it happens to everybody it's just it's gonna stuff like this
it's a real real war that is taking place the problem is the following tom here's the question
i got for you what major investor influencer that people respect is siding with sam altman
who who is the person that's defending kim i'm not seeing it i mean cnbc microsoft because they
own it but outside of that i'm saying what other i mean microsoft is involved with open ai if i'm
not mistaken i'm talking about what major mainstream critic is sitting out there saying
altman's a good guy they're doing the right thing who's who's on his side i'm i'm i haven't seen one
i'm not seeing it can't go like that for too long you you you you you know it's kind of like you
know what open eyes reminding me of open as kind of like what israel is going through oh wow open
eyes losing the propaganda war and guess what people don't like you they're not liking what
you're doing and you can sit there and do whatever you want and act like you're all high and mighty
and keep talking trash to ilana people
like ilan yeah and people don't like you so then the question becomes what no major tech
ceo or companies has loudly backed altman open ai in his
specific disputes that's not good nope that's not good you have to be good at building relationships
behind closed doors for people to defend you that's horrible so that means it's kind of like
i i work at a place and let's just say something happens i leave no one at the previous company is
willing to vouch for me they don't like me that's not a good thing for you to do no how come and on
the only people do are the people that are no longer at the company you have to have people
that vouch for you for people to say when i left the previous company and i started php there were
a lot of people that were still friends with me i mean i i thought hey you don't have to worry
about me taking clients me doing this me i never took a single person i left i'm like hey i'm just
taking what i got here you guys keep the 7 000 clients we want to build our business still you
met jeff the other day came to the house he was part of the company over there he was an enemy of
mine a lot of so to me i think altman has to altman has what what some of these guys have which is
they're not good with
people they're so brilliant that they indirectly don't even know it they look down at people
altman needs to go read how to win friends and influence people 50 times altman needs to go
learn how to be better with people not robots you can't befriend robots they're your slaves yeah you
have to befriend people and he's not good at that so sam if you're watching this maybe go watch this
one and there's another book that you may want to read as well can you go to power of ethical
management i think the power of ethical management is a good book recommendation
for sam altman as well it's an oldie but a goodie it's 96 pages i think maybe it's like 100 pages
uh yeah i'm wondering can you go all the way to the bottom of how many pages it is so you can
finish it fairly in like a 30 minute sit down what's the number of pages 144 pages i was off
by 50 pages small book good book but the power of ethical and management the final thing here is like
ai is getting a lot of pressure from the government and these guys are not dumb and
they move faster than the government dean ball um started july 6th of this month with with
um open ai you know who he was from where he was a white house ai advisor and had a career in public
policy so now they have a washington guy on there as the head of strategic future at open ai and meta
hired dina powell mccormick which was trump and george w bush advisor on economic policy and
brought him in january as president and vice chairman of meta super intelligence so they are
also going out and getting soldiers from washington to help them in the war when the department of
federal trade commission open ai and meta those are two key hires just this july let me tell you
though tom there's a big difference who did you just hear right now going out there and talking
about how amazing of a person he is what clip did i just play of a guy that's loved and respected
that just edified mark zuckerberg in a minute in a white sam altman has to go find three
dana whites and put him on his board asap he has to do that a sap a sap and pay
big money for those people to be sitting on your board and people with high q scores
he has to get some people like that and desperately give them stocks options shares
whatever it is to have a big upside he's got to go find three people like that can you go a little
bit lower of dana go a little bit lower of dana and you see the pictures that it shows on the
bottom right keep going keep going lower keep going lower keep going lower keep going over
okay click on joe rogan real quick click on rogan real quick just click on rogan real quick
uh i'm sorry go back and click on see more right there see more see more
right there click on that uh get somebody keep going left keep going left keep going left keep
going left yeah you got to get somebody that's you got to get like a get mr beast and give him
a billion dollars yeah get mr beast and give him a billion dollars in shares to sit on the board
i'm being serious by the way i'm actually not you know go get a cool fact look what sports
you know who's one of the people that's brought a lot of eyeballs to the entire world cup you know
who i show speed yeah have you seen how he's crying with
renaldo hey please let me know i need you to beat messy and i boom he posted a clip yesterday
i show speed posted a clip yesterday at the argentina game do you know how many views this
clip got let me tell you vinny you're not going to believe how many clips this thing got on youtube
on on instagram okay i show speed posts a video i show speed posts a video begging
lemme lemal to be messy and this is 17 hours ago okay do you know how many views it got i just want
you to see it i just want you to see it i just want you to see it
tell the people how many views it got 5.9 oh 118 million views in how many in how many minutes
in how many hours can you tell me in how many hours 17 hours so tell me who can get that kind
of views first one right there watch this that that thing got 117 18 million views in 17 hours
okay so pause it right there i think i think open ai needs to offer mr beast a five-year
one billion dollar comp to just sit on the board and just sit there and just sit there and just
sit there and get two other guys like that because mr beast has got a good following he's got to get
some people like that he's got to get some people like a dana white some major major power players
that have credibility and now the question becomes should mr be mr beast accept it because that's a
whole different conversation anyways let's go to the next story yes fan duel is now available

move on i just had a quick point that look i saw zuckerberg at the ufc fight the guy we're giving
him a little too much credit this guy is just finding out that he's a human like where mark
zuckerberg was a was a was an alien
slash robot for 20 years and all of a sudden he's becoming cool what's my point with sam
altman this guy's been famous for what three years four years that i show speed is a marketing
genius sam altman is an actual genius he's just an introverted nerd like all these silicon
valley guys so eventually yes i do think i really want to know what your point is and
get someone in there but what's your point they were being a little hard on this guy
for being an actual genius nerd when they're all like that that was
your point you you paused and to make that point adam this guy said let me ask you a question let
me ask you a question is jeff bezos a nerd yeah and it took him 30 years to actually try to become
cool oh no you don't understand this guy is hated by all the nerds right now all of them including
tim cook he's hated by bezos by cook maybe he's not beating them though he's not he's lost market
shirt to anthropic more than you would know if you go look at what's going on with anthropic right now
he is taking his lunch they used to be at 80 90 of the llm business they're not anymore people don't
like this guy you can't move up without being liked and having some people skills no he he is
you know whose vibe he's given me uh he's given me vibes of sbf when he was coming up and he thought
his shit didn't stink that's the vibes he's given me not not the not the criminal stuff i'm not i'm
from that. Just a vibe of, let me
tell you who I am. I don't know. I think he's got
to make some adjustments. That's my thought. Can I make a final point for you that's on this?
Yep. So, I Show Speed,
110 million views in 24
hours. Yep. You know what
the record is for Taylor Swift downloads
in the first 24 hours of any song?
Tell me, Tom. 30
million for Ophelia.
Let's put that in perspective. To your point,
this guy should be big money somewhere.
Yeah, yeah. No, and to me,
to me, it's just,
and the only reason I showed I Show Speed
is not complimenting Kim. It's
complimenting SportsCenter, ESPN,
FIFA, that they're using this guy to bring
eyeballs to it. It's a smart
move. Open AI needs to
go get some guys like Dana White. That was a
point I was making. So, okay, let's get to the next one.
Next business story. Very weird one, guys.
IBM. We've heard about IBM for how many decades?
Many, many years. Back in the days, IBM was Facebook.
Back in the days, IBM was Google.
IBM was Microsoft. IBM
was what all these companies we
talk about today, the first guy
was IBM, right? Yes,
yesterday. IBM's numbers. You ready?
Drops
25%
in a
single day. Ouch.
Okay, 25% in a single day.
Let me read these numbers to you, and then, Tom, I'm going to come to you, and
Vinny, please get your reports ready.
I'm so ready. You have no idea.
So, IBM ended
trading Tuesday down more than
25%. It's worst
single day drop
since, you ready?
1968. Me and Vinny
weren't even born yet.
Okay? After the company
pre-announced earnings that fell below
Wall Street expectations,
Blue, Big Blue attributed
the results to customers shifting spending away from
software and mainframe
product and toward AI
servers, memory, analytics.
Analysts had expected IBM to
report adjusted earnings per share
EPS of $3.02
on revenue of $17.86 billion,
but the company came up short
posting adjusted EPS of $2.2.93 on
revenue of $17.2 billion.
In a statement, IBM CEO
Arvind Krishna said the company
was prepared for a low single-digit
decline in its Z17
mainframe business for the quarter,
but the results were far from worse
than projected and are at least
partially related to the global memory shortage.
In the last few weeks of June, we saw clients
shift their quarterly capital
expenditure towards server
storage and memory purchase to secure supply
constrained infrastructure ahead of a
set of expected price increases, he said.
This dynamic impact, client buying
patterns, while we anticipate some supply
chain-related
impact in our expectations, we did not
anticipate the magnitude of
the CAPEX reprioritization,
he added. IDC's
Ashia Nadkari, who leads the firm's
enterprise infrastructure global research group,
wrote in a note that Wall Street's reaction
to Krishna's warning was likely
stronger than warranted. Well, first of all, you know
what? Arvind Krishna
just didn't do a good earnings report.
He didn't do a good job of
putting it together. Now, they'll tell you,
oh, no, no, no, no. We wrote the release.
We're careful with the comments, and he'd go out there.
But all these comments is what
makes stock go up and down on
confidence and future
guidance. It's confidence and
future guidance. So, Vinny,
I'll be head of General Motors. You
be an investor. Okay. And you
tell me if you're going to tell everybody
to sell my shares or
buy my shares. And I'm going to put it in
and take all of this technical
knowledge. I'm going to put it in terms you understand.
Yeah, we here at
General Motors, we find that people aren't buying
Corvettes anymore, and we're having a little trouble
at the factory. We can't get engines.
And we don't make
EVs, and they seem popular.
But everything's okay.
I don't trust you. I don't trust you. Exactly.
So, I'm going to take off the techno babble,
and that's what IBM said.
We have a product that's going away,
mainframes. It's starting to shift.
Memory chips are in shortage. We can't get them.
And there's things we don't make.
We've got to get to servers in the sky,
AI servers. So, that's what
happened. But there's something else on the backdrop
that's been frustrating. What
are the core that makes a company
great? It's people. It's
people. We're discovering
that just. We've been sitting here in
Rhode Island for a week and a half, and we're. Pat and I have had these conversations
about people. We need
great people doing great things, and
we see things that are going on. And we see
the danger of, you know, Sam,
Altman not having a guy that
everybody's rallying around your leader from the outside.
IBM has been going
through a change. Its own people
are referring to it as
Indian business machines
rather than international business machines.
Do you know what the wild shift
is? So, IBM USA,
IBM India. Here's
a quiz for you. One of them
has 40,000 employees. One of them has
135,000 employees. Which is
which? I think the Indian one has 140.
I think it's the other way around.
The other way around. India has
135,000 employees. IBM
USA only has 40,000
employees. It's been shifting.
It's been shifting on H-1Bs.
India, how many job
openings? U.S. and India. Which number
is which? For IBM. For IBM.
376 job openings
and 2,840
job openings this
morning, I checked. In India.
Which one's India? Which one's USA?
9X. 9X more is India.
Correct. India, 2,840
job openings for IBM in India.
376 available in the USA.
People are furious. And
there's been a steady flow of people that
have been writing on Reddit, not screaming
at their employer. You scream at your
previous employer on Facebook or X or
something. You can expect to get a letter
or get sued. Because especially if you
disparage them, you did something really bad. That's
dumb. Well, guess what? There are ex-IBM
employees that are on Reddit saying very
gently saying, listen guys,
I just trained two
people in India and then I was laid off a
year later and they gave me six months
salary. But I basically
trained people
that were going to replace me. And
we're hearing about it all across IBM.
So it's not just IBM
here. IBM also right
now has a loyalty and an
overall morale problem. And they'll probably
see this podcast, Pat, and publish
a bunch of stuff out there. But the
number of articles and a number of things on Reddit
is overwhelming. There's more
to it than just this earnings report.
IBM has got some issues.
Inside. And a lot of
people are saying, maybe I don't want to be
here. And there's only 40,000. Let me ask this
question. My dad worked for IBM in 1968.
Here's a question for you. They lost $72 billion
a market cap in two days. That's
a lot. $72 billion a market cap
IBM lost. And can you pull up their stock?
That's a lot of money. Here's my question
for you. When you
read, I've been just
in reading mode while we're out
here. What is there?
Is that what one day go to five days?
Go to five days. That's one day. Go to five
days. Look at that. I should start
buying. Look at that.
Can you spot when the CEO spoke?
Can you do me a favor? Go to one year.
Can you go to one year?
Damn. Okay. So go to five years.
So it's still higher than what it was
five years ago. Yeah. Yeah. They rode the AI
wave. Yeah. But now. Yeah.
So then Tom, here's my question for
you with IBM. What is their
flagship product? What is
the product they have that beats
everybody else in the marketplace? It used
to be the mainframe computer and high
end consulting to go with the use of the
mainframe computer because they're not used
to. I want to know today.
What is their flagship product that
they're the market leader ahead of everybody?
I don't even know. Do they even have one?
No, they for sure do. It's not. You're
not going to be a $200 billion company
without having that. So what is that product
Tom? Where do they win?
I thought it doesn't have
a single consumer style
hero product.
Um, IBM current story. Um,
IBM Z mainframes,
Red Hat, OpenShift and
Watson X. I want to know their number
one flagship product that brings a big chunk
of the revenue. Uh,
okay. So I just typed in right now. What are IBM's
biggest customers? Their biggest customer is
JP Morgan Chase. One of IBM's
biggest financial customers
uses IBM mainframes, cloud
AI security and consulting their annual
money that they spend just
JP Morgan Chase with IBM is
somewhere around a billion dollars.
Okay? Bank of America is number
two. Uh, they use the IBM mainframe
software consulting customers. Few hundred
million dollars annually. Citigroup, few hundred
million dollars. Verizon, few hundred million
dollars. AT&T, few hundred million
dollars. And then you got U.S.
federal government uses defense civilian agencies,
cloud consulting, cybersecurity, billion
over multiple contracts. Deutsche Bank, HSBC,
Volkswagen, all of these guys have multi
million dollar contract. Which product
brings the biggest percentage of
revenue every year to IBM? Which product
is that? I want to know because
there's a story. It's the mainframe
business. There's a story of IBM
software. Approximately $8.6 billion in
2026. This is the transaction processing
single largest software category they
have. Number two is the red hats. Hybrid
cloud brings in roughly $7.3 billion in
2025. And then IBM brought red hat for
about $34 billion.
This is what they bought in 2019, betting
it would become the bridge between the
old enterprises and then consulting, which
brings $21 billion. So consulting is still a
big part of IBM's. Then a mainframe brings
$10.6 billion. So it's interesting.
It's the mainframe consulting that makes
them tons of money.
Yeah, I remember reading a book called
CEO Excellence. And in the book, if you
remember this, it tells the story of what
Andy Grove did. I don't know if you remember
that, Tom. The story with Andy Grove and where
he and a
the former CFO, CEO of, former CEO of, what's the company's called?
Is this it?
There it is.
Former CEO of Intel.
They're sitting there having a conversation together, and Andy Grove, one of their divisions,
I think, went from $198 million, Vinny, to $2 million.
Let me say that one more time.
They went from $198 million to $2 million, one of his divisions, of Intel.
In this book, this is how he writes it.
The president of the company at the time, Andy Grove, asked CEO Gordon Moore, if we
got kicked out and the board brought in a new CEO, what do you think they would do?
Moore, the CEO, Gordon Moore, he's the guy, he said, they would get us out of the memory
chips game.
Grove stared at him and said, why shouldn't you and I walk out the door, come back, and
do it ourselves?
The rest is history.
Intel exited the DRAM memory chips business.
And staked its future on a new product, a microprocessor.
In doing so, Intel helped usher in the computer age and had a run of success that lasted for
decades.
I think the scary thing with IBM right now is, IBM has to kind of ask themselves, what's
next?
What is next?
What business do they need to get out of?
What business do they need to get in that they're not?
They've got to make some decisions here.
Because for you to go through a $72 billion in 48 hours, and don't get me wrong, they're
going to be fine.
IBM is IBM.
It's not like tomorrow something's going to happen to them.
This is more like a two-decade type of a thing that we're talking about.
Tom, it looks like you want to say something.
Yeah, no, and the time you're talking about is when IBM made a major shift from old mainframes
to new mainframes.
And IBM also created the Wintel standard, Windows and Intel.
It's exactly the sequence you're talking about.
And it was a big milestone for IBM.
And by the way, Microsoft, there were two guys at IBM, one of them did not want to give
Microsoft the operating system.
Did not.
And the other was Don Estridge did not.
And there was one guy that did.
Don Estridge would die in the Delta Airlines Windshear flight that crashed in Dallas in
1985.
I know this whole story.
There's a whole high school named for him in Boca Raton.
And when he died, the other guy was left, and he gave the business to Microsoft.
If it's not for that Windshear flight in 1985, IBM would have made its own operating system
because that kicked off Microsoft.
And so IBM shifted at that time to the personal computer.
Good or bad move.
It ended up being a good move for IBM to shift, but they later got out of the business as
it became a commodity.
They were never competing with Apple.
Apple was always the artsy and other side of it and education.
But it showed that IBM, and Lewis Gerstner wrote a book, Teaching an Elephant to Dance.
It was a great book about IBM.
So I think they'll be back.
But right now, they're in the middle of a shift.
They're another shift, and they've got to pick a side, and they've got to move.
They've got to move forward.
Adam.
I'll add something.
I've got to be honest with you.
When we first started talking about this, I was like, yeah, I don't really, IBM, whatever.
But I realized something, because I think this is what you were getting at.
And it's the whole concept of reinventing yourself.
Because to me, IBM is like the guy, like Al Bundy, who scored four touchdowns in high school
and was like the best player in his town and went on to play college.
But now all these other guys are playing in the NFL, and they lapped him.
IBM got lapped.
I mean, look at all the tech companies, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft.
Amazon, Tesla, all these big tech companies were started decades after IBM.
So to the average person out there, you might have had success 10 years ago, 20 years ago,
and you're still kind of like, that's me.
I'm that guy.
I'm Al Bundy.
I scored four touchdowns.
I think, Pat, what you're kind of getting is you've got to reinvent yourself,
and you've got to be known for one thing.
The fact that we all collectively, using our brainpower,
didn't know what IBM's flagship product was is a telltale sign.
IBM, you've got a problem.
We're not in this space.
I guarantee if I asked the people that are in this space,
they would be able to say it within a heartbeat of who it is.
But again, I think they're going to be fine.
Typically, when people that are involved in a situation like this,
they'll make adjustments.
Hopefully, they will.
Let me get to the next story.
Next story I want to get into is what just happened with New York and data centers.
And New York became the first state to come out, impose AI data center ban,
and a lot of people are confused.
People are saying, wait a minute, am I about to support Hochul for the decision that they're making
and where they're going with this?
Kathy Hochul imposed a one-year moratorium on new data centers requiring at least 50 megawatts of power,
making New York the first state with a statewide ban.
Hochul said hyperscale AI facilities threaten to exceed grid capacity
and pass higher electricity costs to residents.
New York's average residential power price has,
has increased nearly 68% since 2019, whether that's tied to data centers or not.
That's a different story.
Data centers have faced growing opposition over their electricity and freshwater consumption
with proposed projects, drawn protests in communities including Lansing and East Fishkill.
Environmental groups and Democratic lawmakers praised the pause,
arguing the New York need guarantees that data centers will not raise bills,
pollute air or water, weaken grid reliability.
A June Siena poll found 46%
of New Yorkers considered a one-year moratorium beneficial compared to 21% who opposed it,
support cross-party lines with Democratic backing it by 37%,
points in Republicans by 13%.
14 state legislators have introduced restrictions on state data centers construction,
but none has enacted a statewide moratorium.
Democratic governors in Maine and Virginia have cautioned against similar bans.
Tom, is this a good thing or a bad thing and why?
This is a bad thing.
And I don't understand what Kathy Hochul is talking about.
I'm sure she's done some good things.
I'll list them here.
Okay, that's a list.
Now I'll go to this part of it.
I'm not trying to be funny, but I'm honestly saying,
what has Kathy Hochul done for the people of New York in this?
I'm going to make one simple comparison.
Did the United States of America during the 2020 election,
was TikTok taking all of, you know what?
Oh my gosh, they're taking data from our kids' phones and from us
and on family cloud accounts and TikTok is taking data back to China.
Was that a big deal, Pat?
TikTok?
Yeah, TikTok's taking our data back to China.
Okay, well, then let's not build data centers here.
We'll just use the ones in China.
Really?
Are you insane?
And so she's missing an opportunity here.
And the opportunities when we talk about to come forward and to build the infrastructure for
the state of New York and to simply do it this way.
I brought it up before data centers, you have to build your own electrical infrastructure or
contribute to the overbuild and retrofit of ours.
Step one, you can put small nukes there.
We'll go to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of Energy and we'll help you get
next generation permits so you can put a small nuke there.
And by the way, one condition, if there's a blizzard or something like that, you have to be
available to switch your power from your nuke on to the ground.
So you could help citizens in time of a civil emergency.
Step one.
Step two, we got to figure out how do we get different kinds of cooling?
How does the state of New York maybe give some credits to companies that right now, Pat,
there are companies right now that are being hatched and venture funded, trying to figure out
advanced cooling solutions for data centers.
You don't know why, because if we can make this work and we could sell it to one, we could
sell billions and billions and billions of dollars of next generation cooling and use less water.
It's all out there.
She's missing an opportunity to put the state of New York in a leadership position.
But while she's trying to knee jerk and saying, well, if your power is going up, there's an
election coming up.
No data centers, data centers, bad weather rather than coming back and saying, hey, we're
going to put this on the ballot.
We want you to vote for it.
Data centers in the state of New York will be required to build their own power and find
alternative cooling within 36 months of launching.
By the way, the decibel rating on the outside of the data center can exceed this.
Entrepreneurs, when given constraints, you know what they do?
They invent solutions.
That's what I think.
I think this is a populist move, Pat.
And if you're trying to chase more people out of the state and you're trying, then you make errors on tax.
But if you're trying to do things for people staying in the state, this is not the way to do it,
especially when we were all freaked out about TikTok taking our data.
And now we're going to say no data center.
Here, here, and here.
The data is going to go somewhere, folks.
It's going to end up in China.

very sympathetic aoc environmental groups some local community groups because the noise land
use stuff like that people who are obviously against it it's trump data center developers
data center coalition and many of the business groups and guys that are in the business space
uh uh but but if let's just say you so now this becomes one of the decisions where you
make as a state and some states are going to be like no to data centers all right guess what
opportunity that creates for some states to say what we are we'll do with the following three
guidelines that you follow okay guess what let's take our talents to miami you know let's take our
talents to tennessee let's take our talents to idaho and and what what could those restrictions
be maybe put it a certain amount of miles away from a nearest city that's got 20 000 population
but you got to be 20 miles away from it you got to be 40 miles away from there's plenty of states
that you can go to and do stuff that has plenty of land that's away from individuals adam where
are you at with this adam pat i gotta tell you tom nailed it uh being anti-ai being anti-data
center is like being anti-internet in the early 2000s yeah i don't i don't like this internet
thing i don't know what this email thing is can't have that taking all the energy it's like yeah
we're gonna change the world with the internet and we're gonna change the world with the internet
email get on board so you can't put the genie back in the bottle it's inevitable so what they're
trying to do in new york here is a one-year moratorium okay in one year we'll consider
doing this it's inevitable john federman said listen if you continue to do this who's gonna win
china's gonna win but new york has a history of doing this aoc five years ago was like yeah we
don't need high-paying jobs from amazon we don't want that here and in the bronx get that out of
our minds and we don't want that here and in the bronx get that out of our minds and we don't want that here and in the bronx
This is inevitable.
Data centers are coming.
We need this for our country.
If we're going to compete with the rest of the world, and specifically China.
So we need this.
All right.
So we'll see.
That's Adam's analysis for us on data centers.
And we'll see what that's going to do for us.
But we'll be hanging tight.
Next story is this same-sex refuse to take the baby from a surrogate because she did
not want to abort the baby.
I mean, this is, when I'm reading this story to you, there's a part of me that's like,
wait a minute, is this real story that I'm reading?
It's a real story.
So let me give you the facts, and then we'll get into it, because there's a lot of angles
this can go.
So same-sex couples sue surrogate who refuse to abort their two-year-old son over a minor
birth defect.
And this is a New York Post story.
Vinny, I'm going to come to you first on this one.
So a Canadian couple is suing the surrogate who carried their two-year-old, now two-year-old
son after she refused.
They refused their request to terminate the pregnancy over a cleft lip and possible minor
heart defect.
The lawsuit filed in Ontario Superior Court in May alleges the surrogate failed to keep
the parents adequately informed, endangered the child, violated confidentiality, and caused
emotional distress.
The filing does not specify damage, but the surrogate said the couple indicated they were
seeking approximately $600,000.
They didn't get the perfect child they wanted, and they threw me out.
The surrogate convinced through IVF using a donated egg and embryos created with both
men's sperm.
Oh, my goodness.
Their relationship deteriorated in June of 2024 after an ultrasound at 22 weeks indicated
a cleft lip and possible cleft palate and minor heart defect.
Citing their surrogacy agreement, the couple requested an abortion.
The surrogate said she would have terminated a pregnancy if the child were unlikely to
survive but would not do it for a largely cosmetic and treatable condition.
The couple agreed to continue the pregnancy after Mount Sinai.
Hospital doctors determined the baby was generally healthy.
Tensions resurfaced when the surrogate insisted on a midwife-assisted home birth.
Despite the parents' request for hospital delivery, the baby experienced breathing difficulties
but recovered after receiving oxygen and was taken to a hospital by ambulance.
After taking their son home, the parents ended contact with the surrogate.
She sought roughly $10,000 in unpaid expenses, lost wages, transportation costs, and missed
pensions contributions.
When she was released, the surrogate said she would not be able to survive.
The surrogate said she would not be able to survive.
When she pursued the dispute in small claims court, she learned the contract required
arbitration and was subsequently sued for $600,000.
Vinny.
God bless her and good for her, Pat.
This is exactly what happens when we start treating children like freaking property
instead of people.
You already know where I stand because me and you are on the same spot against the gay
couples that are buying these kids and doing all this money and trying to. I'm not a fan of it at all, okay?
You can sign a contract with a surrogate.
You can enter into legal agreements.
You can negotiate responsibilities and financial obligations.
But the moment that new life is created, it's no longer subject to a contract, okay?
That child that you're doing this and your sperm and his sperm and a woman, that belongs
to God now.
And you already know where I stand, Pat.
Every child is made, every one of us, every child is made in the image of God.
A cleft lip doesn't erase that, okay?
It doesn't reduce the child's value.
It doesn't justify.
It doesn't justify murdering this thing because, oh, the dynamics of the kid are not the way
that I want it.
Since when did a birth defect become something to where you have to live or die?
It starts with a cleft lip and then, you know, next is Down syndrome, next is something. Oh, his foot is different.
I don't like it.
They're not custom orders.
This isn't freaking Amazon.
This isn't Build-A-Bear, okay?
They're not products that can be rejected, Pat.
Thank God, thank God, and I'm assuming hopefully she's a Christian, she stood up and she had
the courage to stand on her conviction.
And say no, okay?
And because of her, that little boy is alive today, and I think murder shouldn't be an
option.
Murder should not be an option, okay?
God doesn't give any of us anything that we can't handle, okay?
And there's surgeries that you can do.
I've seen multiple, multiple websites with doctors that they can fix, they can try to
help that cleft lip, Pat, and that's why we have to fight.
And again, going back to the Roe versus Wade, you know, Dobbs and all that stuff, if it's
not us fighting, we're not fighting.
If it's not us fighting for these children, Pat, who's going to do it?
They can't speak for themselves.
They can't do it.
We have to defend them.
Tom, what do you have with this?
Well, let me give you some names here.
Jesse Jackson, rumored Winston Churchill, Lee Raymond, who is the chairman and CEO of
Exxon that built it in the largest, most profitable company in the world at the time.
They all were born with cleft lips.
You may not agree with Jesse Jackson or agree with Lee Raymond, the industrial
industrialist, and the Winston Churchill thing is a little bit disputed, but what if
we just started erasing people from history or never having them at all?
Because when a baby is born, it's snuffed out because it's deemed to be not perfect.
Look at the people over time that we wouldn't have had.
By the way, the scans of the sarcophagus seem to indicate that King Tut possibly not only
had a cleft lip, but a full cleft palate.
And so if you want to, if you want to just, you know, go for surrogacy and
then eliminate people with even the most minor of the defects, you are missing the
opportunity to see how that person grows up under the leadership of loving parents
and who want the child and maybe overcomes the deficiency or a thing like this to
just be an, just a, an absolute beacon.
to the rest of us on the absolute amazing human spirit of achievement, overcoming disability and
things. We miss that opportunity. We miss that episode. We all look like 1970s, the Stepford
wives that were all like robotic and all looked alike. I'm sorry. The diversity that is among us
racially, ethnically was all ordained by God and we're missing opportunities. And this just shows
when you turn having a child into buying a coach purse that, oh, this one's got a, can I get a
discount? This one's got a little defect on it. It's just, it disgusts me because you're playing
with God. You're not playing with us. You're playing, you're playing with a program above
your pay grade. Yep. Adam. I fully agree with Tom and Vinny. This story is getting me more upset
the more that we talk about it, because as we're kind of like peeling the onion and seeing what's
going on here, these two gay men designer baby, by the way, the child's right. The child's a human
now, two years old. He might end up hearing the story that his parents wanted him aborted.
And as you, as you peel back the onion at 22 weeks, they wanted her to abort the child
because he had a potential cleft lip. Is that what it was guys? Yep. And 22 weeks, listen,
you're over halfway there. That baby, if you see the image is a full on human. At that point,
this is no longer an embryo. You can't even make the debate. Do you, by the way,
do you know what percentage of abortions are done after 20 weeks? 1%. So the biggest thing here is
you have these two gay men who have no idea what it's like for this woman to be pregnant.
She obviously has an emotional attachment to it. She's like, yeah, I'm not going to abort the baby
because it may have a cleft lip. And you can just see these gays back. Yeah. We want that baby gone.
Are you kidding me? And now then they stiff her for 10 grand because they owed her money. And now
they're suing her for 600 grand because the child that they wanted is alive. This is the most
backward story. I'm so glad we're highlighting this. And I would love to shine a spotlight
on these two gay guys with their designer baby. Yeah. I mean, look, simplest way to do it.
Don't allow it. Simplest way to do it is don't allow it. Don't allow to make the decision to
when it comes out to getting babies. I'm not, I've never been comfortable with that. That position
for me is not going to change of where I'm at with it. It's going to stay the same way that it is. So
good for the lady, whoever it is, she's watching, or if you know who she is, share this with her.
She contacts us. I'd love to find a way to make something good for her.
So if you know who she is and she's comfortable being public, we will keep her
name private. I would love to find a way to help her out as she's going through this challenge in
with, even if it's something small that we can help her out with. So I don't know who she is, but
if you know her, please have her reach out to us. By the way, thanks to modern medicine,
a child born due to an injury to the mother, not an illness to the child at 22 weeks,
it's a 35% chance of survival. So there's a one in three chance that if that baby was born,
cause the mom had some sort of an injury, the baby wasn't sick, that modern medicine could
take it to full viability and survival. No, this is devastating. When you read this, it's,
it's a story, but we got to read the story for people to know what's going on out there for us to
keep these types of stories out there. All right, let me get to the next one here.
Next one I want to get into is a little bit more of a lighthearted story is maybe not for some
France lost yesterday to Spain and not yesterday. France lost to Spain, which I'm not a fan of
because Spain to me is the most boring team that's out there. I know Tom's a diehard fan of Spain.
He keeps defending them nonstop. And then Argentina yesterday is down one zero at the 80 something
minute mark. And then all of a sudden Messi gets two assists and they end up winning the whole thing
two to one. So now the finals are going to be Argentina against Spain, which it's, it's an
interesting matchup. They say all the Muslim countries are officially eliminated from the
world cup. England is out now. So that was like a massive story when you're talking about England
being gone, but you know, Lamille Lamal is a superstar and he's a, you know, he's a guy that's
very capable for the first time. I saw how,
how capable he was and how aggressive he was playing. And he went after Mbappe. He was not
afraid, but there's a picture of the significance of this that Vinny showed to us early this
morning. Look at this picture, folks. If you go and see this picture is messy. Having a picture
with Lamille Lamal when he was a baby, you almost can't even believe it when you're taking a look
at this. It's, it's messy. It's almost like he's given him a bath. Did you see this? It's like
Lamille Lamal go right there. So at first, when you show me this, I'm like, Vinny, there's no way
this is true. So this is really Lamille Lamal at five months old. Yes. 19 years ago. Has this been
fact-checked? Fact-checked. There was a UNICEF charity photo at Camp Nou where Lionel Messi was
playing for Barcelona. Pat, families entered a raffle. Barcelona players were assigned by random
lottery and somehow 20 year old Messi ended up pairing with this five month old baby. And that's
what happened. The odds, Pat, go to the odds. I sent you, I slagged to the odds. Guess what the
odds are of this happening? Some guy broke down everything, Pat. Take a wild guess. One in four
billion. One in 625 trillion. This guy did the math. Zoom in a little bit, Bert. The probability
of this happening says you are more than 2 million times more likely to win the Powerball jackpot
than to have the script play out. It is roughly equivalent to picking one specific second out of
three million years. One in 625 trillion. Insane. Wow. And they're facing each other Sunday. So
here's the question. The challenge is Bellingham was on a streak of getting two goals back to back.
Yes. They're two inches taller. They're faster. They're stronger. They're younger. In every way,
on paper, England, even Calshi had them at 54 to 46% of England winning. But then some stuff
happened. We can't show any of this stuff. At the end of the day, it's a game. It's a game. It's a
game. They're giving a high five, all this stuff. The legendary clip is where Bellingham is saying
stuff to Messi and Messi eventually goes like this. Okay. No problem. I'm supposed to beat you
now. And he goes and beats him. And so, I mean, you just have to realize, imagine the fans who are
like, can you go to the iShowSpeed when he's his last clip on his Instagram account? If you go on
iShowSpeed's Instagram account. So he's a big Ronaldo guy. Massive Ronaldo guy. Cannot stand
Messi to save his life. And he is
there cheering for England. Watch this. Just press the first one. You can show it. It's a public
video. This is England's first goal. Now watch what happens.
He's such a troll.

Don't throw stuff at him.
Guys, so now Messi, you know, Messi's going against Spain, you know, with all the spectacles and the stories and everything.
By the way, Messi did a bunch of different interviews.
And he says, I know Spain. I play against those guys.
I know what program they're a part of.
These are people that I know you can, you know, play against them and, you know, what they're going to be doing.
There was some personal stuff that happened politically with Argentina.
Because, you know, the whole war that happened with Argentina and England back in 1982,
where they killed 900 people and they took over the island.
Auckland's island.
That's right. They took over the island.
And then from there, in 86, the hand of God, you know, it says, hey, it went from the hand of God now to the left foot of God,
which is Messi being left-footed.
And so the guys at the end were holding the banners, calling out England.
This was, so that's a political statement.
So it was a great game now going into Spain.
I don't know. It's going to be a wild time.
I know you're picking Spain.
So what's your score?
What's your prediction with Spain against Argentina?
You keep saying.
I'm picking Spain.
I'm not.
I watched them at the end of group.
I heart Spain.
Look, three games at the end of group, they win by a combined score of eight to nothing.
And no one scored on them.
And I'm like, they're a machine.
But then they look like they were asleep and they barely got through the next two games very tight.
And then the machine shows up.
So it's like, I don't know what to say.
You know, yeah, I call what I see.
I'm not a big football guy.
But I'm, I look at this.
Remember, Spain's only given up one goal.
So if Argentina wins two to one, it means they score two.
They double the amount of goals that Spain has given up in the tournament.
Unfortunately, you know, my heart goes one way, but my mental, my mental side goes the other way.
I think it's two, one Spain.
Two, one Spain.
Vinny, where are you at?
Okay, first of all, Argentina had more heart.
They played freaking lights out.
They were, by the way, the shorter team.
What I say yesterday, the first five minutes, you're going to know who's going to set the pace and the tempo.
Run a poll.
Run a poll to see what the audience thinks.
Yeah, and guess what I saw, Pat?
I saw them being physical.
They weren't going to get pushed around.
It was, it was an amazing, amazing game.
Pat, fate is on, there's no way, there's no way Argentina's going to lose.
And I just sent Humberto a link from a guy that posted at 7.28 p.m., July 11th, 2021.
And he wrote, Argentina just beat Spain at the 2026 World Cup Final 2-3.
And Humberto.
Humberto, can you show that?
This is a guy that tweeted?
Well, he's running a poll.
He wrote, he posted this in 2021.
Argentina just beat Spain.
Look at the date.
Zoom in.
Look at that.
Argentina just beat Spain at 2026 World Cup Final 3-2, July 11th, 2021.
And this is not the producer of Simpsons.
No, no, no.
But Pat, I don't think that, listen, Spain, very technical, very to the book kind of boring.
There's no way.
And Argentina's going to take it.
So the score, what's your score?
I don't know if I'm going to go with this guy, but let's just do it.
I'm going to do it.
3-2 Argentina.
Let's go.
All right, Adam.
Let's go, baby.
That's a lot of goals.
Let's go, yeah.
Where are you at?
So the question is what?
Who's going to win?
Who's going to win?
Give us the score.
Okay, well, we talked about I Show Speed.
I Show Speed, unfortunately, is just a hater.
So imagine, and by the way, he's a very likable guy.
But when you're, all your passion is built on hating on the other person.
Adam, can you just give me the score?
The other guy?
Just give me the score first.
Give me the score first.
Well, I was going to build up to why I'm going to give you the score,
but I'll just give you the score.
The point is, Messi's the GOAT.
And sometimes you just cannot deny greatness.
That's my point, is it's like you're rooting against Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan don't lose.
So I don't know how Argentina got here.
They beat multiple teams after being down in the last five minutes,
two minutes, but Messi continues to pull it off.
So stop hating.
Stop hating on Argentina.
Just appreciate greatness.
I think they win 2-1.
Okay.
So check this out.
Here's Kalshi.
Look at the amount of volume, Vinny.
$1.25 billion.
Oh my God.
And 58% is on Spain.
Yeah.
I don't know.
58% is on Spain.
Okay.
That's the quote of the title.
58% has Spain.
Because those are all Ronaldo fans.
That is insane.
And by the way, look at all the money coming left and right.
Look at all the money coming left and right.
Look at that.
$41, $11, $40, $225, $33.
Wow.
By the way, you asked me who I thought was going to win.
That's like my prediction market.
Where's my heart?
My heart is with. Morocco.
No.
Cabo Verde.
Cabo Verde.
Canada.
You're not supposed to interrupt when I'm about to say Morocco.
No.
My heart in this matchup is with Argentina.
Seeing Messi, he's the GOAT.
See him go back to back on the way out of his career.
That's just amazing to see.
This is like Tiger Woods winning the Masters.
As the last major he ever wins.
And he's over 40 years old.
Your heart goes with the GOATs and the guys that have given us so much to cheer about.
My heart, I hope Argentina wins.
Tom is just trying to not lose his Argentinian audience.
Tom, change your pick then, buddy.
Do it publicly.
Change your pick.
It's a massive Argentinian audience.
Oh, wow.
What is that?
So they have what percentage?
65 Argentina.
35 Spain.
Let's go, boys and girls.
It just means we have an audience that goes one way.
But the reality. The reality of it is, it was something very emotional about this guy winning yesterday.
Oh, my God.
Something very emotional about the guy winning yesterday.
I don't know what it was.
You see the way they protect them, the way their teammates look at him.
The guy scores the header.
Instead of people running with the guy who scored the header, they run after Messi.
And he gave that pass with a right foot as a lefty.
They put him in the complete right side.
It's like, why would you put him there?
It was unbelievable.
So Spain, Argentina, I think they're both great.
Passers, they're very technical.
It's going to be a good matchup.
But, you know, the Calci's got those guys.
We'll see what will happen.
All right, let me do one last story, and then we wrap up.
So the last story I'm going to get into.
Do you want to do the Pete Hexa story with testosterone or Taco Bell?
Let's do Taco Bell.
Let's go to Taco Bell.
So Taco Bell, you know, has got some things going on.
So Taco Bell, let me find the story.
Is it page 20?
What page do you guys have it on?
My notes or not.
Can you just give me the page?
That you have, because I don't have it on mine.
Do you have the page?
Page 20.
Is it page 20, addendum, or main?
It's right.
It's main.
Page 20.
Let me go to it.
Oh, wait.
Okay.
The Taco Bell had a rough situation here, folks.
Rough, rough situation.
Voluntarily removed some ingredients at select restaurants amid
cyclosporiasis outbreak.
Okay.
They limited the ingredients for selected restaurants at precaution
during a growing outbreak.

Vinny, what's going on here with Taco Bell?
Well, first.
First of all, if I'm going to be honest, Pat, I've never gone to
Taco Bell and not have explosive diarrhea afterwards.
I'm pretty sure.
So it's permanent for you, no matter what it is.
No matter.
And Humberto could vouch for this.
Like, and this is, this is a true story.
I was dealing with constipation.
Remember like the last trip that we had, I had to take those.
No, I'm being dead serious.
I had to take Metamucil.
Nothing worked.
My, you know, my doctor finally said, what's that?
Go to Taco Bell, get a beefy five layer burrito, get a Baja Blast.
I, no, Adam, I'm dead serious.
And I almost didn't make it home.
But you know what the funniest part about this whole thing?
The doctor really said, the doctor said, when's the last time you went to Taco Bell?
I said, sir, I haven't, you know, he's like, go there right now.
And it worked.
And I'm telling you guys right now, to be honest, this story, you're joking.
No, I'm dead serious.
My doctor, we're like this.
He said, yeah, he's very, very cool.
He goes, go to, he's like, when's the last time you had a Mexi-Mel?
And I was like, they don't even make them anymore.
He goes, they'll make whatever you want, but you're ready for this.
This story is not going to change anything.
Yesterday, we drove by a Taco Bell line wrapped around the damn building.
Americans don't give a damn.
Remember 15 years ago, Taco Bell.
People admitted that their beef wasn't, it was only 88% beef.
The rest of it was binders and seasoning.
You know what people said?
I don't give a damn.
Are you open till 2 o'clock in the morning?
Yes.
Give us some cinnamon twists.
I'm going to keep coming to this damn place.
I'm telling you right now, even though this is the story, I would still go to Taco Bell.
What up?
You think he's not going to go?
Do you remember the Chihuahua, Yoquero Taco Bell?
Yeah, they sued.
Yeah, of course.
They didn't, like, somebody sued because the voice was being offensive or they stopped
using the little Chihuahua.
But yeah.
Yoquero blowing mud.
So, you know, I used to go to Del Taco a lot.
There's Del Taco on their menu.
They had the Supreme something.
Is it the Del Taco menu that had the Supreme Burrito or Supreme something?
Oh, I love that.
Was it Taco Bell?
They even sold cheeseburgers there.
Go to Del Taco's menu, just right there.
Can you go to their menu?
There was something they had.
Oh, you're getting me so hungry, Pat.
Right there.
Keep going lower.
What is that guy right there?
The big one.
The big one.
The burrito.
Go on the burrito.
It's an epic burrito.
It says Colin Klein.
- What?
- What did it say?
Jacked up beans.
Epic beef and bean burrito.
That was just ridiculous.
I'm going to go to California.
So, Adam.
Do not eat within one hour of watching World Cup.
What Adam likes to do is Adam likes to drive with Uber drivers who go to Del Taco.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There you go.
Burrito Supreme.
Is that Taco Bell or Del Taco?
That's Taco Bell.
Pooping Pedro.
Apparently, I ate a lot of these back in Glendale days because we had a Taco Bell down the street.
Were you regular?
I've been regular my entire life.
I don't have a problem with that.
It's just I don't need a Taco Bell to help me out.
Adam, your thoughts.
Listen, that Uber driver situation was the second worst Taco Bell encounter that I've had in the last few months.
I don't get why people love Taco Bell.
Oh, you don't know.
Like, my girl loves Taco Bell.
I was on my way to her house.
She's like, can you stop at Taco Bell?
And if you know downtown Miami, right after you get off the highway, there's a Taco Bell right there.
Never been there in my life.
I go into the restaurant because, obviously, I pulled up in an Uber and I got a different one.
Like, a man.
And I said, what kind of zombie creature land is going on here?
I'm waiting in line here.
These two black girls get in a fight.
It's my turn.
It's my turn.
I was like, where do you got me in here?
I walked out.
Homeless people everywhere.
Can I get a dollar?
This, that, the other.
I said, never again.
There's two things I've said in my life before.
Never again.
The Holocaust.
Going to Taco Bell.
I don't get it.
I don't understand why they get it.
She loves it.
Being shocked that you have to go to the bathroom right after you go to.
Go to Taco Bell.
Should not be a shocker.
That's like saying, hey, I just had a New York street meat hot dog on the corner.
Oh, you hurt your stomach?
Hurt your tummy?
No kidding.
I don't get Taco Bell, but I love my girl.
So I'm going to get her the Taco Bell.
But for me, never again.
By the way, the guy that did that, the odds of the one in 625 trillion, just did a really
quick one of how a Holocaust story could come into a Taco Bell diarrhea story.
And it's one in 50 billion.
We pulled it off.
We did it.
We pulled it off.
But that's how strong.
That's how strongly I feel about Taco Bell.
Tom, this is something more serious, though.
Wow.
This needs some sort of case study here.
No, I mean, let me tell you.
Taco Bell, Del Taco.
God bless you.
And by the way, on the state seal of California, they used to joke because they show a Spanish
mission.
And we used to say Taco Bell, you know, part of the state seal in the history of California,
which was kind of half true, but crazy.
That's hilarious.
You had something about something was in the Mia, Tom.
So you said something was in the water, though, right, Tom, with the lettuce.
Yeah, this is something something serious, though.
Let's be serious.
The products are talking about are susceptible to, you know, you know, bad pathogens when
water that's contaminated is irrigates the area within like a week of picking.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
So so it's in lettuces.
What'd you say?
Ninety how many?
Ninety eight percent water.
Ninety percent water.
So it's.
Anyway, guys, lunch is on me today.
I sent you some Taco Bell.
I'm going to Uber deliver you guys.
I know you're in Rhode Island.
It'll be there.
And thanks, buddy.
About forty five minutes.
You'll be in the bathroom in forty six minutes.
All right.
So there you go.
We finish with a Taco Bell story.
If I was to tell you we're going to finish with a Taco Bell story, I would have said
you're crazy.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Amy Coney Barrett has faced severe threats as a Supreme Court Justice, including requiring her to wear a bulletproof vest and dealing with swatting incidents, which has deeply impacted her family and raised concerns about judicial independence.
Her voting record shifted from 81% conservative to 50-60% conservative after the Dobbs decision, prompting debates about whether fear and intimidation influenced her decisions, which undermines the integrity of the judiciary.
The Supreme Court has only seen three documented assassination attempts in history, and the current climate of threats suggests a dangerous escalation, especially given Barrett’s position as the only female conservative justice on the Court.
Summary:
The transcript explores the intense personal and professional risks faced by Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett due to violent threats and intimidation, including incidents where she had to wear a bulletproof vest and deal with a swatting attempt. Her voting record, which shifted significantly after the Dobbs decision, raises serious questions about whether fear influenced her judicial decisions, undermining the principle of judicial independence. The discussion highlights that such threats are not just rare but represent a growing danger in the current political climate, with only three documented assassination attempts in Supreme Court history.
The narrative emphasizes that the role is not for everyone—especially those who feel the pressure of public scrutiny and personal safety. It also contrasts Barrett’s experience with the broader political environment, including Trump’s upcoming speech on election integrity and Iran, and the allegations of industrial espionage between Apple and OpenAI. The overarching theme is that when political pressure threatens judicial impartiality, the rule of law is at risk.
The conversation concludes by advocating for a more transparent and resilient judicial system, where justices are empowered to act without fear, and where the public demands accountability, especially in high-stakes decisions. The discussion also touches on broader issues like voter ID, election fraud, and the role of technology and espionage in shaping public policy, underscoring how fear and misinformation can distort democratic processes. Ultimately, the core message is that protecting judicial independence is not optional—it is foundational to the rule of law.
