Bill Maher Checks Hunter Biden, Dems are Ready to Impeach, & Mark Cuban Backs Talarico | PBD #848
131m 10s
The podcast covers a range of political and social topics. It begins with praise for Fat Joe, who raised his Down syndrome son from age 19, before his music career took off, exemplifying quiet responsibility and love. The panel contrasts this with Hunter Biden's interview on Bill Maher, where they criticize his privilege, lack of accountability, and alleged role in pushing his father to run for reelection despite health issues. They question his sobriety and note the Biden family's financial troubles, suggesting recent book deals are for money. The discussion then shifts to potential Democratic investigations into Trump and his family, which the panel predicts will backfire, possibly elevating Eric Trump as a future candidate. They also criticize the "ghost jobs" trend, where companies post fake openings to appear growing, harming job seekers and misleading investors. Mark Cuban's endorsement of Colin Allred is mocked as contradictory, with Allred accused of pandering to different demographics. Finally, the panel highlights the Democratic Party's financial debt, overreliance on ineffective celebrity endorsements, and internal struggles, predicting further decline. Overall, the conversation mixes admiration for personal integrity with sharp criticism of political figures and systemic issues.
[MUSIC] [MUSIC] >> Yeah, you're good. >> This is why I don't do it. Anyways, hey, you hope you had a good weekend. We've got a lot of stuff to cover here today. We have our friend Lindy Lee here with us, a new book coming out, which we cannot wait to share with all the audience. You've got a couple of stories you've never talked about. We saw an interview. I think the best interview so far with Hunter Biden was done by Bill Mar. Bill Mar pushed him on everything. >> Good. >> And you know Bill, you know Hunter Biden. You've done stuff with him. So it's good to kind of get your insight on from him that we'll talk about. And then we had a Trump posted a tweet about Marjorie Taylor Greene Tucker. >> Taylor Brown. >> And Joe Kent and Taylor Brown, which I know you got a few things to say about that. >> It was a dissertation. >> Yes. >> I think he's got a few things to say about Marjorie Taylor Greene. And he's got a few things to say about Marjorie Taylor Greene. >> He's got a few things to say about Marjorie Taylor Greene. >> Marjorie Taylor Greene. people out there with a man or a female. You know, it's usually the other way around. You know, baby come out of Down syndrome, the man run away. You know, shame on you. You know, father's got to be a father. I don't know how to be a fake father. So I got to take care of my kids regardless and do everything I can for the, you know, I don't know how to give. How do you how do you process that? Because think think about it this way. Have you ever known the story about Fat Joe? Is that not amazing? That stuff like this happens and unless if he goes on club Shay Shay talks to Shannon Sharp, shares that story, no one will ever know that that family. You know what you learn? You learn the character of who? Not only him, but who raised him. You learn who his mother is. You learned the values and principles. What a powerful story for a guy like Fat Joe. Let alone imagine how many times you know, you hear stories about fathers, even for any kid. Then think about the kid as Down syndrome and you know the responsibilities that comes with that. You say, no, our family is going to take care of his child. Tilted and go to the top of the picture where it's him and his son right next to each other. Look how cool that is. You know, look how cool that is that it's sitting right next to each other and he's still given him love. How do you process the story? Well, shout out to frickin' Fat Joe. I mean, I've always loved Fat Joe, followed his music. I had no, I didn't even know he had a son that has Down syndrome, but God bless him, Pat. God bless the mom. Parasem like this. And I know, you know, a lot of people today just think, yeah, it's just a life. I don't like it as if like they're buying something that they could just return and cancel it. But I'm telling you right now from experience, one of my best friends, his name is Arthur. He has Down syndrome. And I'm telling you right now, Pat, the most positive. Yes, it's a challenge. I understand because there's different, like there's some people that have Down syndrome that have to have 24, you know, seven, you know, their parents have to be at, they have to have somebody watching them. But then I've seen, there's people with Down syndrome that can actually work. Get on a bus, go and, you know, there's Down syndrome people have get married and there's different, you know, kinds of Down syndrome. But the fact that people don't understand unless you've been around people with Down syndrome, a lot of people are like scared and they're kind of standoff. The most loving. I've never seen somebody with Down syndrome complaining, worried, you know, conspiracy theorists. Hey, it's all about love, it's all about positivity. It's I'm so freaking happy that you showed me this because I had zero idea, but good for him and good for the mom because she raised a freaking good son. That's a big fat Joe's mom. Fat Joe's mom. By the way, you ready? You know, you know how old he was when baby was born. He was 19. No, yes, because his son is 35 years old. So he got to him. Yes, this is a great story. So it's not like he was 32 years old with money and finances. He was only 19 when this happened. And they didn't even make shows. Wow. This is some major props to Fetcho. How do you process this story? The Christian cross that he was wearing was you know, coincidence. I was the first thing I jumped out at me. I've been wearing this for like 25 years, every unless I'm showering. But it's just, it's just a example of Christ love. It's just incredible. And this is think about it. This is before his song What's Love? This is with the Shawntee. It's before his like lean back. Remember that? Yeah. And so before the money came in, he still chose to raise his son. This is, I mean, I just feel like it's such a great positive story. You know, Adam, I think you can probably have a story with with your father because your father was he would only hire why to share how you hear this story. Yeah. Well, I have a new found respect for Fetcho. So shout out to him. Yeah. My father was born with cerebral palsy, which like the best way to explain it. If you ever saw a forest gump, the scene where he's walking with the with the neighbors and their throwing stuff at him. That was like my dad with his gate was all weird, but his brain worked. So my dad was a businessman. He was a he started an advertising agency. This was one door to door flyers or a thing. And he was locally famous because he would only hire people with mental disabilities and mental challenges. So just picture my house growing up. My dad would have what I would call the, you can't say the R word these days, the R word farm at my house for dinner. It would be me, my sister, my mom, my dad, and four or five handicapped individuals, just and chaos ensued. I love these guys are eating ketchup packets. They don't know shoes on the wrong feet. They're using this as a telephone. And like how do you think you're getting to stand up comedy? Because it comes from pain. And I saw what was going on here. And I said, wow, shout out to my mom. She was like the most, oh, how are you doing? Everybody should treat it. Everybody equally, you know, my mom, but when you're around these people, you have a new zest for life. I talk about because of my dad, I volunteer at the special Olympics every year. And you know, they say it's better to give them receiving the love you give is so much greater than anything you could possibly ask for some shout out to faculty. You have so many these stories that you listen to. That's like this matter. Bam, we're going to talk about some of these stories that are just like fear, negative, all this stuff. You hear a story like this, but that you're like, dude, just let the world hear that there's so many wonderful human beings behind closed doors that do so much great that nobody ever hears about. No one. That a 19 year old young, but what was this guy worth that 19 years old? No, no, no, it was a player yet. This was back in the day. You know, Fattro's always in Miami. I'll just add this. This was when he started terror squad and he was with big pun. When you think of hip-hop, New York, y'all was so terror squad, but little do you know that he's raising a Down syndrome kid, and it's incredible. And no one else, you know, nobody knows, you know, also talks about this a lot. Shane Gillis. Shane Gillis has uncle Down syndrome in his family and he normalizes it. The end of the day at my point is this it's part of life. You can either embrace it and get better for it or at 19 years old. He has no hit no hit record. No established recording career. First time he he signed with Apollo at 2021 and he got his first million dollar check with flow Joe hit number one on the billboards hot wrap singles at 23 years old 1993. He got his first million at that time. 19 years old, they made a decision to take this kid with nothing and no other left. And I'm left. And now you're ready for this new throne. And 19 that means no name is no help. No nothing. It's you and your mom right story while you're building your new final thoughts before we go to the next story. You know what? In a world where celebrities sometimes take things like this and they put them out there and they wear it like jewelry. Yeah. I admire a man regardless of what he was worth. It just quietly did. That's the right thing. And I want to underline something that you touched on and we haven't talked about it yet, which is praise God for his mom who put the foundational elements in his heart to say the value of life is this. This is my son and we're walking from here. And I'm happy that we didn't know about this because it means that he was just quietly living and doing the right thing. Yeah. And I admire that man. Megaprops and some 35 years old. So meaning he lived lived longer than typical life expectancy or whatever. That is not that. That's 35 years old. 35 years old Joey Cartagena. Great. So we crack. Yeah. So okay. All right. Let's go to the next story. Next story is a different story. Okay. It's Hunter Biden on Bill Maher. Okay. And believe it or not, I was actually very impressed with Bill Maher because Bill Maher asked the questions that everybody else was thinking about that maybe others like Tucker didn't ask Hunter for whatever reason. And you know, everybody that does certain interviews. There is a motive that people have in an agenda that's still show they can talk about whatever they want. No judgment. But I like that Bill pushes no matter what if you're left, right, or center. He doesn't care who you are. He'll call you out, right? And he's gotten to this phase a lot more lately. So here's a couple clips. I want to show a couple of the clips that we have. Here's one of them. Go forward. I think a reasonable person who's not filled with hate would say you both took advantage of some of your privileges by being the son of a president and vice president. And you also were a target in a way that a normal person would not have been. Is that fair? There's a part of that that is fair. One of the things that people I think don't understand is that when my dad was president, I didn't do any business. I sold paintings and I sold paintings to people that then had to testify before Congress under oath. I made an average of $225,000 a year. Would you have been working for an energy company out of Ukraine? Was that really the thing you studied in school? No, that job, I went to Yale Law School. I got that job because you were just, no, I just did. Yeah, a hundred percent. I said good. A million interviews. Good for Bill Mark. You know, I'm incredibly privileged. I mean, beyond, beyond anyone's wildest imagination, not only because of who my dad was, but because of the father that he was. And so a lot of it, a lot of privilege comes from that. And I don't deny that. And also a target on your back. Yeah, and by the way, and also a target on your back. Okay. So how do you feel about that? How do you feel about that exchange? I'll come to you for a cylinder. You know Hunter. Yeah, I do. And it makes me very frustrated. I just, um, he's not being held accountable sufficiently. I mean, Bill, Bill Mark is doing a great job right here. But this is a guy who lived on the Biden name for decades and used his kids college tuition money to pay for prostitutes and hookers basically. His kids college tuition to pay for his own drug money and to pay for his hookers. This is a guy whose privates were broadcasts around the world. And there's no shame. And I used to host events at which he would go and glad hand billionaires and business titans, not for the sake of the United States. Before himself, he went to all these donor events in order to ingratiate himself looking for exit opportunities. And that is why he enforced his senile
incognitive declining father who had no business running for president. He forced him to run for the presidency, run for reelection. This guy is so much responsibility and culpability on his hands and I wish more people were like Bill Mar. Okay, so let's just say if he's sustained with you, what three questions do you ask him? You sitting with Hunter, what do you ask him? When are you going to apologize for the fact that you hoisted a man who very likely 99% had terminal prostate cancer, you forced this man to run for reelection. How dare you? This is not only a dereliction of duty to our country, but to your own family. You claim to love your father. Is this something that you would do to a man that you love? We just talked about fat Joe raising a child with Down syndrome. Now we're talking about a 82 year old man who was dying of cancer. Had he, God forbid, had he won the presidency, he would have been dying in the oval office right now. The cancer is now spreading across his body. Can you imagine they lie to the, you know, they lie to the world, telling us that he was sharp as attack, running circles around everybody. In fact, I was on a phone call with General Malley Dylan, the chairman of the Biden campaign with a small select group of donors. She had a gumption to look us in the eye and say, Biden is healthier than all of you. I'm a marathon runner. Okay, I run five miles a day. You want to tell me that Biden Joe Biden is healthier than us. And so Hunter Biden has a lot of explaining to do because he is one of the primary reasons that Biden chose to run for a re-election. Again, there's another reason that we haven't addressed. It's his own fate. He didn't want to land in prison. He needed his father to pardon him. What else? What else would you ask? Because that's very good. What else? You're an insider. Um, by the way, what was he like when he hung out with him? What was his energy like? I have questions about his sobriety, frankly. He's been sober for seven years. That's what he claims. But I was invited to the White House on February 24th, 2024. This was months after the cocaine situation in the cub. You do you remember that? Of course. And no one was ever held accountable. There were no investigations. It was recently. You're saying one and a half years ago. Yes. I, um, I, my guest and I went to the Oval Office a few months before the 2024 election. And I remember being in the cubby area and wondering, wow, there is no security in this room. You would think after incident like that, they would put proper precautions in place. No security. There's nobody there other than me and my guest. The cubbies weren't locked. And so people could take things out at will. There were no cameras to speak of. I remember looking around thinking, this is really strange. And I don't know if the American people realize this, but not a single interview was conducted in the aftermath of the cocaine, cocaine gate. And so I have serious questions about this. To this day, we don't have answers about that. And Hunter Biden is very sugar happy when it comes to lawsuits. And we can talk about that later. There's a member of the Biden family who threatened to sue me. Actually, um, my lawyer to one of my lawyers, Tim Pallitori is like, you want them to see because the scarry is going to be beautiful. Everybody knows you're telling the truth. Did they ever do that or no? It's been they never fall. They know that I'm telling the truth. They know I was in a position to know. I have the receipts. It's been two years. If you're, if you're a betting person and you were able to go to polymarket and a VPN to bet that Hunter Biden. That's a different that Hunter Biden was not used crack the last seven years. How? Oh, I would. Yeah, I would totally and I'm not a betting woman. I'm, you know, I'm an index fund girl. But if told, yeah, exactly. Respect. So you would say yes. Oh, for sure. For sure. And he's not the only member of the family with serious substance issues. But then he is so charming. He is so charismatic. I got to tell you like the way he knows how to do this. You watch him like, yeah, I just, I just admit it. But Bill, I just did. But Nick, why would you say that? Nick, why would you say that? And you know, he has this thing that he does. You can tell, you know, I got four kids. So I watch which one of my kids can get things from me better than others. You see the child like side of him. And you can tell why this guy's good with girls. You can tell like you can tell why he was able to, I had one of his baby mama's on the podcast. We had a great conversation. That was a phenomenon. A phenomenal conversation with her. The one whose daughter he wouldn't, that's right. They didn't want to claim, they didn't want to claim. Yeah, but it was a very good conversation. And she told the story of one day, they're in the hotel room. And there are Isaacite. And she says, the father, Joe comes and knocks on the door and sees both of us. And he says, I looked at the father. The father looks at Hunter. And he says, I've never seen this much pain in a father's eyes when he made eye contact with his son and known what his son is going through. He says, I felt for the dad. And this is the kid that dad together. So, and by the way, I want to go to another club. But before I do, Lindy just came out with a book. It's coming out. It's, and I want you to pull up the link if you can. She's got a ton of these stories in a book that if you guys want to hear it from an insider, go place the order unburden a former Democrat insider shocking accounts of political power, betrayal, and party collapse. If you want to see more of these stories come on, again, this comes out September 22nd. But pre-order, go get the copy, whatever. Yeah, let's put the link below as well for folks to be able to pre-order this. Let's go to the next clip. The next clip I want to go to is one where, again, Bill is going back with them and they're talking about different things. And he says, well, we never talked about addiction and Bill shoots back pretty quickly. Watch the score for it. But everybody, everybody has a brother who's suffering from addiction. Everybody, including themselves, has gone through periods in their life in which they've struggled. Everybody. And not just with addiction, but with grief and loss, I was speaking about my dad's health. And, you know, the thing that is the most astonishing to me is all of the things that we all experience, these painful things, are things that everybody's gone through, but we never speak about it. And nobody ever comes on a show like this and openly talks about it. Well, I don't know about that. This is America. We talk about it a lot. Well, I don't know. Come on, let's be real. We talk about addiction to talk about grief. Yeah, I don't, but, you know what, but I think that we talk about addiction and grief, but not in terms of our own personal experience in which the vivid, um, technicaler pictures have been released to the entire. No, you know, I think, and there's that piece of it. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, well, I think a fair. Okay, this is one of them. Now, can you go to the next one with him asking about running for president? And then we'll get a couple thoughts and move to the next story. So here's asking about whether you're on for president or not. Watch it is. Don't be nervous. We only have like, we only have like 10 or 12 minutes. Yeah, yeah. I'm so sick of all the things that we get into the weeds with, and I see you with another. You're, you're, you're laptop, you're a bitch. You're already the third word will be laptop. Yeah, I don't, you know, I know everything about the laptop, more things than I want to know. I've seen you with your dick out. I've seen, I've seen you with a crack pipe in your mouth. My question, are you running for president? See the smile? Look at the charm. Looking like a stab, young dad. I'm going to announce. Yeah, exactly. Have you thought about that? No, I haven't. No, you're just like, here's my thing. If, if I announce for president, then somebody should check and see if I relapsed. That's what that meant. Okay, pause. What do you say? Oh my gosh, I have to say this. I have to say this because it's jumping out of chair. This guy got hairplugs for sure. I know Hunter. I've seen him and also new teeth. He's got new everything. I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but Joe Biden got major surgery. And I don't mean like health-wise, but cosmatically. There's not a doubt in my mind. Oh, absolutely. Fate everything. Oh, really? Absolutely. I mean, just look at Joe's face, the evolution over the years for sure. It's not a surprise Hunter Biden got hairplugs. Some sort of hair procedure. What's wrong with that though? No, it's great. I'm just saying, that is a more, that's a better indication of his political aspirations than a lot of other things. Well, this is a perfect toss up to you for your latest business. You started in Turkey with hair transplant. Do you want to share, you know, and Hunter and I started multiple businesses. We started a laptop company. We started a lap dance company. What do you think? We did anything with laps. Well, you think he runs for president. No, I think he's doing this for anything. I'll give you three little takeaways. I watched the whole interview. Number one, the biggest takeaway I had was at the end of the interview. Bill Margos will send your best, our best to your dad. He goes, he, he's watching right now. He's alive. He's, he's watching right now. They're like, yeah, okay. I don't think, I don't think Joe Biden thing. Um, but one thing he said that struck out to me goes, listen, I think you did some bad things, but I don't think you're a bad man. That's right. In the day of reinvention in America and, and reinventing yourself and, and starting over, there's, I'm, I'm sure there's a lot of people that look at Hunter and they're like, what a mess. I hope you clean it up. And it looks like he is whether he's physically, whether it's emotionally, whether it's religiously, he did some dumb things, you know, on his tombstone, it's going to say three words. It's going to say laptop. It's going to say crack and it's going to say corruption. So right now he's basically out there sort of putting lipstick on a pig. And, you know, to your point, if you just take the numbers they're saying on the surface, he's saying 50 million Americans are still sick and suffering every day from addiction. I don't know if that number's accurate or not. But that means one out of every five or one out of every six Americans is dealing with addiction. So when they say a lot of people understand what Hunter's going through, we joke, ah, you're a crack head. But there's a lot of people that do understand what he actually went through. The difference with him is he was in the limelight for 20 something years doing crack on the low. Well, I feel, I genuinely feel sorry for him because I mean, if you go back to the story,
Okay, but besides the political aspirations, whatever the Democrats will take anything at this point look over there With the essay they have no real leaders the AOC's are their frontrunner and Gavin Newsom's number two But if you guys go back to his past his mother Niela Nielia a hunter by the her last her made a name was hunter That's where he gets his name from she she died in a car accident and the third team also died also died as well The brother Joe Biden's four. Yeah, that's his mom. Yeah, Jill Dr. Jill But I can only imagine you know what type of pain that becomes and you know you become you know Your father's not there. You lose your mother the addiction starts But then that addiction turns into crazy stuff where we had John Paul Isaac over here talking about what he really saw in this laptop And the most disturbing thing was him allegedly naked Smoking crack in front of his niece was well and by the the getting the stripper or whatever her name is pregnant Not seeing like his character put all that aside I genuinely feel bad for him and I pray for for him to get over what it is I don't believe he's been sober for seven months, but that's me But that this this is the type of attitude where you could go out and have fun and be nonchalant when you know You've got a pardon and nothing's gonna happen to you and getting 225,000 dollars for a crack head to make a painting You mean where do you think who was giving them that money path? Did they ever trace he goes people testified and and what does that mean people lie in court all the time? Exactly, there's a lawyer who paid upwards. I think seven million dollars. He paid all of Hunter Biden's legal bills weird There's forget his last name, but there's one lawyer who paid for everything and wasn't connected to any China or all the people that he was hooking up and hooking up with the big guy It's a lawyer who has business with politically involved clients So no one is doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. Everybody wanted something out of Joe Biden I mean, it's not Picasso Rembrandt Hunter Biden. Let me tell you why Joe Biden is currently on his charm tour. Yeah, Hunter Biden What did I say Joe Biden? Yeah, it's all good. Well, I mean he is to you know Joe Biden's out with a book that he didn't write He claims actually his first to come out with a video saying guys I wrote a book. No, that's lie number one. You did not write a book. Yeah, you did not write a sentence You hadn't written anything in a number of years at least you know for a while They are doing this Jill Biden just came out with a book Joe Biden came out a book purportally for 10 million dollars They're doing this because the family is flat broke Flat broke, they are having financial problems guys. That is the truth They couldn't raise any money for their so-called presidential library usually when successful presidents Raised money for libraries people are throwing money at you, especially with that you go you saw with the Exactly that that's ugliest building I've ever seen my life putting that aside. Yeah, they can't raise any money for the presidential library In fact candidates in the Democratic Party, you're saying please don't show up at my events We really don't want you here. Do us a favor and just go away when Jill Biden was going out on her book tour Rehabilitation tour everyone was telling her to shut up There are people in Biden world saying please just go away, but they need the money that badly think about it Their patriarchy is not making any money in fact James Biden Joe Biden's brother Just had a hospital network that fell apart actually based here in Florida. Um, they were in Wait for it. They were in business with the same doctor who went out before the American people Kevin O'Connor doctor Kevin O'Connor who said Joe Biden is fit to run for another four years This doctor who said that was in business with the Biden family So where do you think is incentive of course and that and it's a famous quote never look better Yeah, and if you're yet 250,000 hours as if really real artists don't get paid that so it's all it to me It's a pay for play and that attitude back like I know people that I used to party I used to do drugs. I used to drink that attitude to the summer that's part that those are fun people to be around They have stories they have that charisma, but in his soul like in his soul I think what his father put them through that even Ashley Biden She was in rehab in 2019. She's the one that left the diary that somebody finally gave it to project Veritas where she even says my father would shower It's this all goes back to Joe my father would shower me probably an inappropriate ages I think these kids are all in pain Pat. I feel sorry for all of them But this whole parading around doing the rounds trying to make everybody feel like he's a cool guy This just shows you what the Democratic party has and it's nothing. That's what the Democratic party has It's zero. It was my crack rate. I'm just gonna push back a little bit I'm not gonna defend Hunter or Joe Biden, but I'll just ask this question Is it such a bad thing that they're broke in the day of age of that everybody's enriching themselves something stock getting rich getting rich up the government you come in your broke next thing you leave you leave and you're worth a hundred million dollars You're telling me this guy's been in politics over 50 years and he's broke So there's a lot of things we can say about that but let me say is I like what Humberto said today Now I want to give a quick shout out to him. I like what he said today He said, you know, there's a part where he says Don junior made a billion dollars I don't know if you guys have that clip or not if you want to put this the clip of Don junior making a billion dollars if it is just play the clip Watch this Five hundred days of this administration Don junior's company has made has has taken in over $3.4 billion in Department of Defense contracts. He got a $640 million loan pushed through by the White House the largest single loan to any private company Ever give it out by the Department of Defense and that's just a fraction of it forget about what they've done with crypto currency Now which is a bank in which they are able to go and launder the money it is a Bomination and that doesn't even include what Jared is doing and Ivanka are doing he gets paid over a hundred million dollars in fees by the Saudis the Saudis alone For a six and a half billion dollar fund that he controls which is all golf state money and he is our Unelected unappointed Emissary to the Middle East for a war that nobody asked for it is absurd not nobody Absurd but not nobody like that's true. Maybe not yeah, who asked for it. Oh, he was I mean you're your father Excuse me, yeah, every Democrat said Iran can have nuclear weapons and every single Democrat and every president said Jimmy Carter Refused what what he was really he refused with the Israelis wanted was to bomb I ran well every single one of them The only person who fell for it was Donald Trump. Yeah true. Yeah Yeah, so the so you hear this exchange yeah, and then Humberto says the difference is that Trump's camp their business owners, so they're growing their business They had business before and their business dealings is doing better now of course as a president now don't give me wrong I will tell you openly. I'm not a fan of these meme coins. I'm not a fan of this crypto stuff that you I'm not a fan of any of that stuff You know why there's a story in here that says what's gonna happen? The the moment Democrats own the majority what their plans are next. I don't know if you saw that story You know all the investigation plan put Trump's Corruption front and center as they planned possible 2027 Proves political. Let me read. Let me get the student and I'm gonna kind of tell you what I think is gonna be happening here and how big of a mistake It could be so Democrats haven't won though house majority yet, but top party leaders are already preparing an overnight Campaign oversight campaign targeting president Trump and his family and his administration should they flip the chamber in November at the center California Represent where I regard see a poise to lead the oversight committee and Maryland representative J. B. Raskin in line for judiciary both are planning to Use their potential families mass Gavils on controversies like Trump's acceptable of a guitar read jet for use as Air Force one and his families massively profitable cryptocurrency investments And both say they have a long list of administration officials to probe the theme is deliberate put Trump's corruption front and center rather than Relitigating the old impeachment grievances committee leaders say they're staying focused on the president and the family Tom I have a lot of thoughts on this. Do you think this is a good strategy and do you think they're actually gonna do that? if they gain power so if they gain power the first thing they're gonna do in What's it February 4th we have the date when they all get sworn in right when they all get sworn in and they officially have the gavils as they say So they get sworn in the gavils. Do I think they're gonna do this? For a year and a half going into the election because they want to win the election Yeah, I don't think they can help themselves I think this is where they're gonna go. I don't think they give a damn about the average American voter Honestly American citizen if they did they wouldn't have the set up the immigration that they did and I think it's terrible Because it's going to start a perpetual pendulum every one of our Presidents is going to get investigated left right and center for anything they've done You know you burped without saying excuse me when you're in college. We're gonna investigate that You know and then at the end of it, you know, it's gonna happen They're all gonna pardon their entire families and all these preemptive pardons You know Peru how many of the last six presidents of Peru have been Indicted for corruption and gone to jail Peru. Yes all of them six Yeah, so it's like everybody and I think and I'm not being funny Pat We can look this up. I think we're heading toward that kind of a thing We're suddenly the debate in the barber shop has been replaced by absolute, you know, you know anger at each other and Absolute iron and now we're gonna have politics where it's a game of okay my turn. Ah, I got the house. I've got the committee
I've got the gavils. Okay, my turn. And we're going to go back and forth and back and forth. I think it's terrible Lenny, please there's something that has never been said in this coverage and explains why they're doing this As James Carwell in the spirit of James Carwell. It's the money stupid. These people are massively in debt When I came out and said in 2024 that there they were tens of millions in debt They actually issued a press release saying that I was a liar turns out months later when they had to file the FEC report Guess what they said they were 20 million dollars in debt. I was telling the truth obviously and they are so in debt I kid you not they put their own headquarters up its collateral for a loan They are hundreds of millions of dollars behind the Republican National Committee. These people desperately need money in advance of 2028 and that's what they're going to do this because otherwise their base will not get They are addicted to to Trump I don't know what they're going to do when Trump leaves a scene because frankly Mark Rubio JD Vance They don't incite this seems type of anger and orange man bad is their entire fun raising machine You think that Kamala Harris is such a talent that she somehow managed to raise 2.5 billion dollars in seven weeks Let me tell you. No, I know the woman. She's not talented. She's she's a mid. All right. She's a mid She raised 2.5. What's a mid mean? She's she's a she's like Oh, I think she's lower than mid, but yeah, please go. I was being generous. Yeah, you're being very Very nice. I'm just fine. I'm feeling generous. Keep going. I'm with you on this especially what Tim brought from US Subsidy money exactly and now they're hurting because USAID has been Gunn. Oh, they shut it down. Oh, wow whoops. Well, you know Trump Trump you know did the entire country your service by slicing that funding but these people are desperate for money and Ken Martin right now is a clown the chair of the chair of the Democratic National Committee is a clown and after I expose the celebrity payments to people like Beyonce and Cardi B The big donors are not giving there are donors behind the scenes who are still calling me saying We still have no answers for why they spent I $350,000 a night slapping Kamala Harris's mug on Las Vegas fear thinking that was a good idea. How many votes do you think that got her and frankly? I think negative votes because people obviously saw through that, but they these people have nothing without Trump. They are addicted to them. They pretend to hate them, but they're actually hooked on. Let me ask you questions. So for me when I go to a restaurant, let's just say it's a restaurant. I love like I went to a restaurant the other day. I won't say the order of what I ordered, but I didn't like it. I won't say what I ordered because if I do people will know what restaurant it is, but it wasn't good and I would score a three out of a 10 and it's usually at least an eight, but I'll forgive him and I'll go back because it's one time. But what happens to donors, major donors on the Democratic Party, when they give a half a million or they give a million or they give two million or they give real money or Robert, you know, Downey Jr. hosting the meeting again and all of a sudden it's like, what the hell happened and he writes the op that you know what I'm talking about? How often is their buyers remorse in raising money and going to these rich, billionaire, millionaire celebrity Democrats? How often is their buyers remorse and saying, I'm not doing it next time. They all have that right now. They're like you super wealthy. They view things as a business proposition. They're not donating because you're generous or they care about our country. They don't give a blank order. They don't care. It's about their company and it's about who can serve their interests the best. Let me tell you, the going rate for an ambassador ship nowadays is you either raise 10 million or give one to two million. There's a difference between giving and raising. You know what I mean? Like you can personally write a check for two million and that's about the equivalent of raising 10 million. Because it's your own money. It's your own money. And there's actually a abbreviation for that. It's OPM. Other people's money do not ever use your own money. Always raise OPM, you take that note. I mean, that's just good business sense in every sphere of life. But these people, a lot of them, you know, I'm in, you know, I'm in touch with Hollywood actors and actresses. George Clooney was the one who went public and said, I said, Robert Downey Jr. I meant to say George Clooney. My apologies. He said that getting involved in politics was one of the biggest miscalculations of his life. He said that. Jennifer Lawrence said, I finally realize that Americans don't care about celebrity endorsements. So I'm not going to say that. He said that recently, really phenomenal. Okay, good for her. These celebrities are finally realizing that they have no power. And they become laughing stock. Taylor Swift was one of the main, you would think, I was, remember, we were kind of, I was going to make a shift. It's going to be a shift. And then it's like, if Taylor, 149,000, Megan, if Taylor Swift can't even move them needle that much in a positive direction. You're absolutely right. It doesn't matter at all. Like nobody cares about you. Just give us make the movies. Make me laugh. Have you heard her mega-coded music recently? I want to have kids. I want to. Oh, weird. Oh, exactly. She's definitely changed a lot. Your thoughts on this. And we'll move on. This has been going on for a while. And God rest their souls. But I used to love to listen to Hunter S. Thomson and P.G. O'Rourke debate. Remember P.G. O'Rourke conservative libertarian than Hunter S. Thomson. Hunter S. Thomson said, if you're trying to get kids to vote with celebrities and musicians, you're making a mistake. We put so much effort and to rock the vote because we wanted to go after Bush. But the little bastards didn't know they were supposed to go home and do something about it. And he said they held all these concerts with Bruce Springsteen and everything. And it was so funny. I'll say it again. He goes, those little bastards didn't know they were supposed to go home and do something about it. And it's because celebrity largely doesn't work because celebrity is not purpose. It's not vision. It's not visceral. Because if you had a celebrity that had been through something horrible, now you have visceral. You have vision. You have connection. You have, oh my gosh, I could see this. We need to fix this celebrity, cancer, things like that. There's believe ability. Well, the good news there is. Who typically gets celebrities? The left or the left? That's what I'm saying. It's actually good. Remember, remember the Taylor Swift actually had a negative effect in certain swings. I remember just 149. It's a number. I remember Beyonce showed up. They got everybody. Wait, you mean Tom? You mean to tell me you have all people megging the stallion torquing for Kamala's rally. Didn't do nothing. You didn't vote Kamala. Well, I had a Jones for Megan, but I'm telling you it just didn't get to the voting booth. The thing about it, torquing in front of everybody, they're like, people are going to go out and vote because of that. They're so out of touch. There's so out of touch. It's insane. It drives me crazy. By the way, Beyonce to be clear. She showed up, but did not perform not once, but twice. Yeah, I got paid up twice. And they paid her and they paid her in the number. And remember, Cardi B struggling to read English. Oh, my God. What's you talking about? Lindsay Lee? You don't even know what you're talking about. I have to say I enjoy. I mean, I'm going to stop right there. But like Jennifer Lopez breaking out in tears. Yeah, none of these people were clowns. They undermine their own celebrity, their own brand by going out there. I remember the Megan the stallion thing. And I remember her coming out on stage and thinking, oh, what's Megan stallion going to do? Torque work. You know, it had been a better idea, giving an actual speech, saying, hey, here are my positions. This is why I'm voting for Kamala. And then people would have been like, wow, what a delightful lady. She actually had something to say. She's not an idiot. But what they use them as just political pawns and it backfired. There's a reason why they I have to say this. There's a reason why they use them guys. Well, let me ask. Let me ask you. You think a Nicki Minaj works for the right. Yes, because it's counterintuitive. Exactly. The novelty factor. But guys, this is something that they haven't reported. The reason why they needed the celebrities there is Kamala couldn't draw a crowd. In the primary in the camera. She can't she can't. And during the primary I remember speaking with party leadership and everyone is freaking out. I even have a photo. Joe Biden couldn't get like five people there. So we had to move the back wall of buildings to push everyone together to make it seem like the room was full. And the cameras are trained to the front row, not to the back to make sure that it seemed like that people were actually there. So they overlearn the lesson. That's why they got people like Christina Aguilera and Usher to fill up the room to get them out first. And they made the mistake of they made the mistake of having Beyonce come out at our Texas Valley first because as soon as she did everyone started pouring by love. By the way, isn't this ultimately a good thing? Meaning you could throw all the crap at the wall and it still doesn't. But remember remember that this conversation was prompted by the corruption. Are they going to go after? Here's what I think is going to happen. I hope they do. There's two things that's going to happen. Remember what happened when they did. I hope they go after Trump's family again. Trump's I hope they do. I hope they do. This is different. Yes, I said I'm having a conversation with Van Jones and I told him I said listen. The more the DNC gets socialist to be the face. The more Republicans are winning. Americans are not socialist. Most Democrats are not socialist. They're pro choice. They're. No war. They're they're they're very different. They're confused lately. Like even some of them are like Jews are like wait a minute. What's happening? A lot of most Jews are Democrats. Not like the Republicans. I don't know what the percentage is. It was like sixty four percent. Yeah, sixty four percent of Jews. It's but it's so now Democrats have to sit and realize who are you losing? So if they go after Trump's family, which I think they.
will. Number one, I think it's gonna give him even more rigor, more face and an Eric Trump that one time he was on Cuomo and Cuomo called him out and Eric just went, I was 111 times and no one's ever been in America. Let me tell you what this does. Crazy prediction. If they go after Trump's family, I think Eric Trump will suddenly move up on the list of presidential candidates. I'm sorry. I think if they go, again, I haven't said this. If they go after Trump's family, Eric Trump's the number one candidate in the Trump family to run for office more than down junior and I like down junior, Eric goes stable wife, solid wife, Laura's a monster, Laura's an incredible, she could be a, she is like a first lady type. I think Eric, if they do that, they're handing Eric Trump to presidency. I'm just telling you, I think Eric Trump, let me just finish my thoughts. So that's one. Number two, I will say the other part, the counter argument to this is the following. They're also giving the Trump family is giving enough argument for the left to say, hey, you're using favors to do this. So they also have to be careful. You know, this whole thing about being untouchable, sometimes when you win, win, win, win, win, you think you're untouchable and you train less and you're like, I don't need to train for Buster Douglas. Who is he on my Tyson? Boom. His mother passed away 40 days ago. He knocks you out. You're no longer my Tyson. No one fears you anymore because they know after 678 round, you can't hang. You were exposed. So I hope that level of cockiness doesn't go to a point of being untouchable because that can backfire on you no matter who you are. Yesterday, I watched a movie, The Brink of War, Angel Studios got like 67 movies that's coming out. These guys are stacked with a massive pipeline of movies with phenomenal actors. I was so impressed with the lineup they had. This was a story between Ronald Reagan and Gorbachev, that met an Iceland, I want to say, and they're going back and forth in the negotiation of the word. They're trying to prevent the war. You know, you could tell that moment of, you're not untouchable. So I hope the Trump family is not going with this untouchable thing because that's not going to end well. And then last but not least, I'll add this to it. If they do, Biden's handed Trump the biggest thing that I wish they wouldn't have done, which is what they're going to self pardon the entire family. They're going to be given away preemptive pardons to the family left and right. And guess what they can say? Anything they want and Democrats can't say anything. You know what? Clips going to go viral. All the DNC Democrat pundits that were like, what's the big deal? What's the big deal? All of those clips of the Biden family, given these pardons to their own families, going to replants going to be the most viral clip the day, Trump's matter fact, if Trump's campaign, you know, they're ready on the marketing side. They've already cut up, their editors have already cut up all the clips and they're waiting for the day when they're going to self pardon everybody. That clip's going to drop so quickly. People are going to be like, how quickly did you cut this? Trust me, we've been waiting for this for 18 months because we know this was going to happen. So to me, if they do go after Trump, that Eric Trump name, where's you on the list, by the way, is he anywhere on the list? By the way, that 0.3% will be 4, 5, 10% in no time. You'll see if they go after Trump's family. So to the DNC and the leftist, if you want Eric Trump as your next president in the next few years, maybe 20, 28, maybe 20, 32, maybe 20, 36, please go after Trump's family. Go ahead and do so. See what happens to you. You just officially produced a George W. Bush and his name is Eric Trump. He'll be your president in the next four to eight years. Cut this clip and keep it for the future. When we talk about this, it'll be the dumbest mistake Democrats make. And they're still going to make it. And they're still going to do it. It's here. Hey, silver platter. Mr. Eric Trump, congratulations. You're our 49th president. Watch when this takes place. By the way, both him and Dan Jr. are formidable. So things can change. Of course. Because you know, people have to see a stable wife that's a little bit of long term. And he's kind of working through it. Eric's wife is super. We know who she is. And you're right. And by you don't remember that photo that Eric is sitting there with a Trump 20, 28 hat. It's like, come on bro. Just little, little bread crumbs. People are not watching Eric. Let me tell you why he wasn't there at the 250 race. He's smooth. He's good. He's battle tested. He's a stud. I saw his high school pictures the other day. I'm like, this guy was a little bit of a, you know, you could tell he was a trouble maker. He has that look. And can you pull up Eric Trump's high school picture? You can tell this guy was like, you know, you know, he has his own thing as well that he wants you. Can you pull it up? Let me see what it looks like. High school photo. There's a couple rebellious pictures. Yeah. Top left. Not that one. It was another one I saw both of them. Don Jr. You know, had a little bit of a glare, but we'll see. We'll see. Well, I think ultimately what you're saying is like what Justin Timberlake said, what goes around comes around. I love that. I think what they're going to, what they're going to do is, he works. That's what goes around, comes around. Well, I'll ask you is this. And I'm not with you on the Eric Trump thing. I think he's a formidable guy. I think Rubio's head and shoulders the best candidate we've seen in decades. But that's not for neither here nor there who is more for who Rubio. I think he's the best candidate. I don't I don't I don't disagree with you. And by the way, I don't think Trump's father believes 2028 is the right time for Eric. I will tell you as an advisor. I am not. But if I was an advisor, we've got a lot of weird calls this weekend, very weird calls this weekend. I'm trying to coordinate a meeting between a president and yes. But if I was an advisor, I would tell Eric, Eric, get in there. Let them see you. Oh, God. Get in there. Let them see you. Similar to how to have the president ran in all four. When did the president run for president? Did he run in 2000 or 2004? Can you pull up the first time president, Trump ran for office? No, no, but he ran. No, I think he, what's the, did he run, like did he say he's running 2000, right? Is that what it was? Yeah. First president of Rome was in 2000. I say do it, Eric and do it for a few months. I say you go and just scared of shit out of it. I'm telling you what, and I know they're going to go after the corruption. And so this is the type of stuff that sometimes you watch your enemies and you sit there and you say, you're really dumb. Yeah. You just, you just really, really dumb. Please make this dumb mistake against me. I'm begging you. You don't think Trump's family is sitting there saying, please make that mistake. Well, it's almost like we know where the movie's going to end. He's going to part of himself at the end. So it's like we know the ending here. You know how confident I am with this? Really? Do you know something we don't know? So I'm not going to tell you I know something. I don't know. All I'm saying to you is I can't confirm or deny. No, no, no, but in this part, I have no, I have had no conversation when this thought just came out, I don't have notes prepared for the Eric Trump thing. If they go and try to get corruption, you have what happened with Bush senior NGW. You're going to have Eric Trump for you have to hear the word Trump for. Oh, my God. He's going to be in the background. I only have one objection on what you're saying. You keep using the word if as if it's it's going to happen. It's going to happen. Well, you're hoping on a Carville, a somebody on the name, somebody. Let's move on with Trump and not give that name anymore. They're exactly what let me says exactly is hinged on Trump. It's not just politics. It's the MS now CNN entire apparatus, the New York Times Washington Post. They don't have subscriptions without this man. They don't have eyeballs without them. They need him and his family. Anything with this last name. And I have to tell you guys in 2024, one reason why they didn't work so hard during the primary with Biden is they were counting on Trump going to prison. They didn't work so high to find a successor for a Biden because they figured the law fair would work or the or the assassination attempt. Well, I'm just saying they wanted to kill him. They tried to law fair. They did everything. Yes. No, no, no, you're right. Yeah, they're going to kill them too. They didn't even bother finding a success. Exactly. What's the point? Because, you know, Trump's either going to be gone one way or another. One way or another. Great, but you can't. I think all of this is correct, but there's something I want to point out. I've been watching the money on the national level, the national committee levels. R&C has got so much more money and DNC is actually in debt except for an $18 million slide that they pushed across in Q2. The Republicans have more in the war chest on the national committee for the R&CCC, which is the Congressional Committee. They have more than the Dems. They have more than the Dems for them. But you know what happened in Q2 of 2026 that just ended a month ago. Act Blue raised $586 million, which is the largest quarter Act Blue ever had with an average gift of $39. Okay. So the average people that are out there giving, and you know what the two triggers them were there? Trump. War? No, no, at war economy. They raised that money on war economy. You're worse off and we're spending money on the war. You're worse off spending money on the war. Sure, there was some orange man bad in there, but I think yet you can't discount what's going on at the grassroots level with the American voter. Pat, I defer to your point about the it's going to be a bad thing. If they want to energize the other way, they have it on war. They have it on economy. If they turn it into investigations, you know what they do? It's almost like giving up that advantage you got right now in my humble opinion. Yeah. Okay. We'll go to the next story and we'll see what happened here. We could be totally wrong, but I'm just saying that their reputation. is for going after them, and I think they will. And let's see what happens there. For the people that love political stories, and they really are watching closely on what's going on with Reagan and Gorbachev. Go watch that movie, The Brink of a War. I took my son, my oldest. My youngest went and watched Spider-Man for the second time. I actually suggest watching this. I actually really like, what's the guy's name, Jeff Daniels, Jeff Bridges, is it Jeff Daniels? He's the guy from that dumb and dumb show, whatever it was. He's the show newsroom. Newsroom. That's what it was. That one viral. He crushed it. It was great. And I learned about George Schultz, who was the Secretary of State for Reagan. Also one of the biggest funders of Elizabeth Holmes. Was he? The Blood Attached Company. Yep. Very, very. Yeah. The Secretary of State on a biotech board. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Well, you know, he died five years ago at 100 years old. This guy was a former Princeton grad. He says he got a tattoo of praise, such a proud Princeton guy. They got a tattoo on a place that nobody ever saw. And he went to MIT, got his PhD there. Then he became a professor. Then he went and he was on a marines. Then he went and became a CEO. Then he became eventually the Secretary of State. So pretty heavy weight. You know who the was on that tattoo? Then nobody ever saw it. Yeah. Kind of like a. Yeah, you can see Roger Stone's tattoo. We can see this guy's tattoo. Next story I want to get to has to do with jobs. And by the way, I still want to go to a songpiker, Charlie Kirk. The Trump tweet with Tucker. We got a bunch of things to get into. But let me get into this one. Ghost jobs. Why is this important? People who are looking for jobs. I didn't know what this concept was until, you know, we started seeing more, just being talked about. Ghost job ads are getting so bad that lawmakers want to ban them. So this is companies that want to show to the world that we're hiring so many people. But because we're hiring so many people, you know, look at us. We have so many job openings, but they're fake job openings. So let me read this to you, Tom. And then I'm going to come to you. This is a Wall Street Journal story that's out there. OK, the cycle of heartbreak is familiar to job seekers. A great ad, a customized cover letter, nothing, but nothing. But in many of these, as many as one in five cases, the company never intended to fill the opening. Months later, the ad is still up. The job remains a phantom. Ghost jobs are on a long time frustration. And that anger is now spilling into state legislators. Lawmakers in New York and Pennsylvania propose bills. This year requiring employers to list hiring timelines and removing ads once roles are filled in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxden, a Senate candidate, open investigations to LinkedIn last month, saying it advertised and profited from fake jobs when people are putting the time and effort into applying. There's a reasonable expectation that there's a job out there. Said Pennsylvania State Representative Jim Prokopiac. Tom, why is this such an important story? So this is PR spin, and this is why it's important. I'll make this really, really quick. When you advertise jobs, first of all, Vinnie, what makes a stock go out, growth and profits, right? Yes. Man, we're growing. You hear the word guidance every four times a year. You hear all the stories, MSNBC, CNBC, Wall Street Journal Barons, Bloomberg everywhere, guidance, company guides, growth in the future, company guidance is positive, company guidance on this. One of the ways you guide on growth, you never want to say things with your lips. Sometimes you let other things say it. Well, guess what? The number of jobs that are open is one of the ways that analysts used to gauge growth for companies. So you're putting external PR out there, showing a bunch of open jobs. Adam and Tom, the analyst goes, well, we have what the CEO said, Adam, but if you've seen the number of jobs, my gosh, or look at the number of sales jobs, look at the number of engineering jobs, my goodness, they must be growing. We add that to our calculus when we say, we're going to give the Vinnie co a buy rating. Actually, now we'll just go accumulated. Adam says, no, no, no, no, no, no. Strong buy rating. So number one, it's manipulative PR that analysts are using. Number two, they use it in a nefarious way to create employee morale. They lay off a bunch of people, which the stock market loves, because it reduces op-ex. And then they say, but it's different jobs we need, and we're posting them. So the jobs get posted. So now the employee, it uses a retention tool, because you feel like you're working your butt off, but then you say, well, no, no, they're going to be hiring more people, we're going to split the department and then we're going to have to go to do all of this. Second, and then lastly, LinkedIn comes to them and says, hey, you want these job posts to look legitimate? Yeah, okay, 400 per post per month. We'll take care of it. And that's the money that goes into LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the unwitting or winding partner to legitimize all the postings that are out there and show the growth and things that are going on. And so now you've actually got the focus of this article is going the wrong way, Pat. The focus to the article was saying, oh, and the job seeker pays for all of it with what? Disappointment, they put in for a job. There's no job there, nobody responds to them. How is a job seeker paying for it? No, no, no, no, no. The shareholders are paying for it of people. The retail buyers of stock that are buying it and one of the perceptions they have is that there's growth based on these. And I agree that it should be regulated. Well, a couple of things here. We just got on a call with LinkedIn. We've been doing business with LinkedIn for a long time. They're one of the best players in the game. There's some other competitors out there. There's a lot of money on the back end of how LinkedIn's making money right now. I think Microsoft bought LinkedIn for like $17 to $30 million. It's a $200 billion enterprise right now. It's not even a question. But their business models completely changed. It's not a social media site. It's these companies that have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars if not a multimillion dollar contract because that's where you have the opportunity to hire people. So the cost is there. Number two, if you guys, one of our guys, Connor right now, send me a text. He says he applied for 97 jobs and received a response from three. And he got the job. He's been with us for three years. We love him. But so that's a real thing. Because for every one of these guys here on Jubilee, if you want to play this clip, I'm sure you guys remember this one guy on Jubilee. Can you play this, please? How about I just show you and I give you a job. Would you move to Forlota though? Ooh, he has Florida. Sure, why not? Would you move to Forlota? Sure, why not? How about you and I document this? After this, you come I do an interview with you and I give you a job. And let's see what you do 90 days later. OK, let me and I'll look up your company and all that kind of stuff and I'll see it. But you see what just happened right there? Regardless, my approach you just did. Sure. You just said you applied to 477 companies who's not gone back to you. A business owner who's hiring aggressively just made an offer to you. You said you were willing to move. Then you said I'll look at it, you became selected. I didn't say I looked at it. If you'd let me finish my sentence, I want to hear it. I would like to look into your company to see exactly what you guys do. You would like to-- Because I don't know what you guys do. OK, so as far as I'm concerned, I may be wasting my time going. If you guys are a finance company, if you guys are a bank or something like that, I can't believe it. I have the certifications of America. So even interviewing me would be a little cool. I gave you a job period to work 80 hours a week. Would you take it? And I paid you a reasonable wage. Are we talking a livable wage or a reasonable wage? And a new version of reasonable, are we talking about it? Your version of reasonable or my version of reasonable? But you see, so now for me, what I'm missing from you guys-- Is I need specifics? No, no, not necessarily. Most of the people I hired need specifics. The difference is, I'm trying to hire them. In this instance, you're trying to get a job, and you'll be a selective. It's going to work again. I'm not trying to get a job. Originally, I was trying to ask you where the moral felt. [LAUGHTER] You're fired. You're going to cause a right. And he was on a ploy. But you know what's bad. Here's what's bad. He makes those people who are truly unemployed, trying to look for a job. He makes them look bad. And this is not America, just so you know. The same way this ghost, what do you call it? Ghost ads are not all companies. This is 5% of companies that are doing it. This is not 100% of companies. 5% of America's like him. 5%, 10% of America's like him. 5% to 10% of companies are like the ghost job. Because they have to pay a lot of them. If you-- I'm paying these LinkedIn companies, hundreds of thousands of-- of course, you're not going to put fake ads. Like, why would you do that? It's a cost every single time you do it. Take those people out. The ones that are making the rest look bad. The people in the middle, they're looking for jobs. There's a story that follows up saying, nearly 25% of US workers are functionally unemployed, economic analysis says, this is CBS news. What does functionally unemployed mean? I'll have Tom explain it to you in a minute. But let me just read this to you. The US job market is less robust than it looks. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1% in July. Well, within the healthy range. But the metric only counts for people over 16 without a job who are actively looking an imprecise picture. So again, remember, they're trying to bash Trump's economy as well, so they're going to write some like this. But a part of it is real. Check this out. The true rate of unemployment captures the functionally unemployed, those out of work and looking plus people in voluntary work in part time, and those earning poverty level wages, which is what? Under 26,000 a year before taxes. By that measure, functionally unemployment has climbed four straight months and stood at 24.9% in July down from 25.2%. We shouldn't read too much into a single month, but four months begin to tell a story. Tom, is this a concern when you see numbers like this? So yes, it means that the labor market is not as hot or as we think it is. We already know that right now that layoffs have led to more corporate efficiencies. So when you look at the case-shaped economy, you've got the stock market with much more efficient companies in terms of profits per employee in certain sectors. And you've got, you know, instead of the magnificent 7, Now we've got, you know.
with the AI crowd driving it. But what this talks about, functionally employed talks about those people that are out of work, plus people that are voluntarily working part-time away from their full-time capabilities. So it would be like Vinnie, like you're an accountant, and you work part-time for a tax prep company, 'cause you can't find a full-time accountant role. We would call you functionally unemployed. You would take a full-time accounting role if you could find one in your town, and you're like crap, I can't. So you take like a part-time seasonal tax prep role for now. Additionally, they include the poverty level wages. Well, I have a hard time with that one, because what they do is sometimes, DEMs are very, very eager to count teenagers. And it's like, wait a minute, wait a minute. They don't do that on their Biden, but they'll do it on a Republican. But the reality of it is, people are having a hard time with affordability right now. We can't hide around that town. That has really happened, and they got to find a way to address that, Lindy, go for it. - I want to say, I have to give a plug here from Anecd. There have been a number of people who've reached out to me on Anecd for this very reason. They tell me they're applying for jobs on LinkedIn, or through the company websites, and they can't hear back. They don't hear back from once. I have one guy, one dear friend on Anecd, his name is Matt, and he's applied to hundreds of jobs, and has never heard back. But he said, you know, I reached out to you. I've written him recommendation letters, I got him jobs, I would've been doors. This is all through Mnecd, because you know you're actually gonna hear back. - Yeah, and by the way, one of the things about Lindy, shout out to Lindy, Lindy is phenomenal on Mnecd. 8629 conversations she's had on Mnecd, so anybody watching this that wants to Mnecd will Lindy, send her a message, she is so active, she's got hundreds of conversations with me. - I love you guys so much, like a deeply care about you, like my family. You guys are the best, I have to say. - And a quick shout out to Vinnie, he just crossed 10,000 Mnecs. He's in the 10,000. - But the clock, the clock. - The word's gonna go to her. (laughing) All right, okay, let's go. - I was just gonna add one thing. - Go ahead. - I think there's one component that we should add. Looking for a job is a deeply emotional thing, especially you don't have one. Like it reminds me of the scene of Friday, when he says, you know, you mess with my money, it's like messing with my emotions. He's like, I don't like me messing with my money. All of my emotions. So when you can't find a job and you're searching out there and you're getting upset, what, speaking of a Nect, I got back to Mnecx yesterday. One was the most optimistic, future looks bright message. I'm figuring it out. I got this. This is what I'm doing. And the next message was like, life sucks, life's tough. I can't figure it out. The economy, the economy, and I told them, but your message just came at the wrong time. 'Cause I just told this guy, amazing your optimism. And now you're just like, wallowing in self-pity. Nobody's gonna feel bad for you, especially as a dude. So what I realized is, when it comes to getting a job, it's not where you start, it's where you finish. Whatever you're looking for, find a job, get a part-time job, get experience, get an internship. That's only temporarily. At the end of the day, if you actually have what it takes and you have the skills to pay the bills, you'll keep moving up, you'll keep finding the right thing. I was a jack of all trades until I was 27. Broke as hell, but I made connections and relationships that still serve me. So focus on what you can do, not what you can't do. I agree, I think that's a good message for people to consider as they're going through it. Now, let's talk about something. Earlier, we talked about the Polymarket story, the job ghosting in, you heard Ken Paxton talk about the fact that, hey, if you do that in the state of Texas, they're gonna come after you. You can't post things like this. Mark Cuban is on Kira Swisher, and she's being interviewed, and then they talk about two different things. One, they talk about the wall tax in the state of California, then they bring up Tala Rico. And then the audience is like, make up your mind, Mark, where are you at with this? And Mark actually wanted about Mark. He responded to a lot of the criticism on X, which maybe we'll read some of them. But here's how Mark switched within seconds from California's bad to Tala Rico's great. Go ahead. - My daughter just graduated from college, and she was asking about living in LA. I'm like, you can't afford it, right? The taxes are insane, but going back just to the billionaire's stuff, I think it's ridiculous. I think it's gonna cost them more. And look, people say, well, you're a billionaire, right? Well, look, you're already getting people moving. You're getting companies moving. You could be cutting off your nose to slights or fake. So everybody wants my money. And fortunately, usually they say they'll eat me last. James Tala Rico, let's go. - Oh, okay, tell me. - Yeah, I'm a big fan. I mean, he's-- - Yeah, I know you are. - Oh, God. I think Son is, that's what he's trustworthy. He cares. - What do you say then to those red voters? - Do it's best for the state of Texas. Do it's best for your wallet. Do it's best for you, right? There's nobody in the same thing my buddy who voted for Trump in 2016. I say the same thing to all these voters. You've been voting for Republicans all these years. What have they done for you? Tom. - Same thing could be said for both parties. - So yeah, I don't understand the Tala Rico part. Tala Rico, there is polling that came out that showed that he was struggling with black voters. And the DNC, for a Texas DNC was saying, we think that this election has got to hinge to the over-index of the black voters. Because Hispanics are becoming increasingly conservative-- not a majority conservative, but increasingly conservative. We've seen it in Texas. And so Tala Rico comes out a week ago, and what does Tala Rico say? Well, I think the problem with the whole Carmelo Anthony case was that there wasn't enough black jurors. Wait a minute. At the same time, we find out that text messages came out that showed that it was actually a premeditated murder. Absolute unequivocal text messages. And they were worried about civil unrest. And so they didn't go after the death penalty. And they just denied the guys request a liberal judge, denied the guys' request for a new trial. So Tala Rico is out here talking about this, trying to pander to the black vote using a horrible premise. Mark Cuban is smart. How can he not see that and see the pandering that's going on? And why does he believe that what Tala Rico wants to bring is actually economically good for the state of Texas? That confused me about Mark. The things that he's doing on drugs and his own company, the startup company on drug prices, which I applaud. And I think are great. And I love the fact that he wouldn't let himself be manipulated all those years as an MBA owner. There's so many things I like about Mark. But this take, this angle on the back side of Tala Rico confused me, and I think it's wrong-headed. Can you pull up the clip? Can you pull up the tweet with him responding back? Not this one. This is when he says there's racism and all this stuff. Not Tala Rico. The one I just texted you about the tweet and him responding. I just literally send you the tweet, guys. Oh, sexism in America. Guys, I just send it to you right now. Can you pull up this tweet? Yeah, there you go. Go a little bit lower. So if you go lower, just look at the comments him responding. Go to the comment section, please. Okay. So he responds, Mike Hey, Mark, hope you're doing well. Question for you, which state laws do senators vote on? Okay. So Geiger Capital, who does a good job with the content out there, he says, so you know the policies are bad and admit you won't want them in Texas just at the national level. Go to the show replies, because I think he responds back to it. Yeah. So Mark responds back, he says, if it was a state representative that wanted a well tax in Texas and I lived in their district, I would vote against them. That's how our system works. Different jobs have different responsibilities and impact. I vote accordingly. So then another guy responds back saying, the problem is Tala Rico still wants to raise tax on billionaires through federal rules, closing loopholes and loopholes and making the wealth pay more, which would hit people like you in Texas just as hard or harder since you can't just move states to escape national taxes. I don't want to pay more in taxes. Bigger concern is debt we have and how much interest we are paying now. No one in the office is doing anything about it. You good, what all the spending? Then he responds, so a part of while you're watching this, he's saying, no, I'm voting selfishly because him becoming a senator does nothing to me on a national level in the state of Texas. I don't care if he wins. It's a very weird way of voting. Like where is your conviction at? What's your position when you see Mark Cuban doing that? I can't believe he's flipping so quickly. Just a couple of months ago, he was condemning the Democratic party. He seems to go with the poll numbers are. This guy is just like a weather being. He's like, Tala, remember that French diplomat? He's famous for just falling the political wins. And suddenly he's backing Tala Rico who says there are six genders. This is the same guy who in Texas says that God is non-binary. Oh, yeah, I don't think so, man. And he's vegan apparently in the great state of Texas known for beef. This is such a, I can't ask a Christian, I am offended. Yeah, but Mark Cuban may say, well, that's not my position. I'm just voting with my pocket and I don't care what position he's got. I don't care where he's at spiritually. Can a, there's two conversations. By the way, I think he's ahead right now. 52 to 48. I don't know what the numbers are. If you want to pull it up, uh, uh, gray Gavin said there's no way in the world. If there's a choice between Tala Rico and Paxton, it's easy. Paxton's the one to go with. But again, Tala Rico went on Rogan, Rogan likes Tala Rico. There's an audience for that in Texas who are somewhat independent. They're like, well, we wouldn't mind testing out somebody like this. Adam, where are you at with this? Look, I've actually been following this race and to me, it's pretty simple. It's in Texas. Do you want to vote for a cowboy or do you want to vote for a boy? That's really what this comes down to. Ken Paxton is not the best candidate because actually as a candidate, uh, who you are, actually matters. And this guy's got some corruption issues. He's got some baggage. So we, we get that Tala Rico, Tala Freco. Get your freak on. This is like the most soft feminine man, woman, child I've ever seen. He makes Dylan Mulvaney look like a tough guy in Texas. Like I'm actually genuinely asking this question. Is Texas getting so rich that they're just becoming soft? Texas.
getting so rich because all the fortune 500 companies are moving there. They now have more 500, 500 companies that I think New York. So I'm wondering, speculating is what's going on in Texas? Dei ESG. Is this kind of taken over everything is immigration coming in there in Texas? I'm wondering there because the Texas that I know likes barbecue likes cowboys and doesn't put up with this alerico soft. Muslim feet washing just had a long run it up. Muslim feet washing. I'm sorry. Cuban has had a long running feud with Ted Cruz, Senator. He also did not have a feud, but Cornyn, John Cornyn, who got beat by Paxson in a primary refused to get behind Cuban. And so Cuban has had had an absolute war with personal beef going on. Yeah, I believe so. Texas grade A with the Republican senators. He has had. And you know, he's been at war with one of them, frustrated with the other. Tom and I'm a fan of the alerico. That's not saying he's okay. I like him. I'm a fan. But she also saying that Mark Cuban, though, Mark Cuban is so weird, wish he was. She flopped in back and get us back home like where he was just with Trump telling his dog is drug prices on force, but then he's calling out the Democratic Party, and unfortunately, unfortunately, that strategy does not work. You have to take a position. It's unattractive. It's like make a damn position. Middle of the road gets run over. Middle of the road is kind of where he goes. Dude, where are you at? No, but he knows. Yeah, nobody knows. Cuban knows. He's like a John Kerry billionaire is who he is. Always like goes one way or the other because he wants to make fun. A lot of us respected Mark Cuban. I still have respect for the guy, but I don't respect his opinion. Respect for what? Because he was a basketball guy and he made money. It's like, by the way, I think that there needs to be a study. And I'm being dead. I'm not even being funny right now with liberals, with the vaccine, and how many boosters because it makes you stupid. It lit all the Scott Gallow ways, whatever cares. All these people as smart as they are. You know what we say? Like these are the smartest dumb people. No, it's just dumb. And I think something chemically with your fifth booster message your head. And the Bible warned us in Matthew chapter seven verse 15 about people like That's the smile, the false prophets, okay? Beware of false prophets, they come to you and she keeps clothing, but in reality, they're raving wolves. Okay, this guy, like you said, he talks about, if you don't let a kid transition, a child at him, he said, that's child abuse. He said, trans children are making God's image. God, oh really? God's creation is male and female. You want that to happen? He's against folder ID. He's in there pandering to the freaking black vote. And it's like, at this point in society, can you not see it? Like, I really hope that Texas is going through. No, I just know. Well, Texas, you were talking about the mosque in California. Did you ever think Texas would be the biggest mosque building place where they have cities with mosque and the Muslim population in Texas? You didn't believe that. That's tough enough. Howo Rico is looking for votes, guys. It's simple. He wants power and he will be a pawn of the left. To get there, he is not showing any authentic viewpoint. He says God is non-binary. He wants to trans vote. He said there weren't blacks on the jury. He wants the black vote. He is trying to gobble up. This is Democrat politics at its worst. Simply trying to get groups of victims all under the tent to have enough to win. And then he will be a pawn of power. It's very predictable to me. And that's why I recognize it. And it doesn't surprise me. Does it infuriate me? And I get emotional like, you right now? My passion. That would be crazy. Not emotional, but passionate. I do. I do, but guess what? He's being the hyena that a dem hyena is. And guys, this is also a money play. Because there aren't that many Democrats, big money Democrats, in the state of Texas. He has to cater to the national donor base and that he is currently saying what they want him to say. Basically, that mutilation is actually a good thing. Guess what? And that Muslim feet washing stations in Texas are God's gift to earth. That, yeah, the men can be women and hijack women's sports and hijack our futures. This is exactly what the coastal progressivism dictates. And that is why the DNC is dying. I don't know if you guys realize this, but the Democratic Party is dying. This is, I declare that 2026 or 2028 is going to be the last time that they have a modicum of control over their own presidential election. After this year, it's going to be the DSA all the way, especially with AOC takes over. Can I hone in on one thing you just said? You said that there's no democratic donor base in Texas. So they got to go to a national East Coast West Coast. California is doing as a wallet of the Democratic Party, the Hollywood base, and also New York and Martha's Vineyard and Upper West Side. I mean, I've hosted, I've hosted Governor Shapiro at my own home twice. I've had Tammy Duckworth at my home twice. People come to Philadelphia. They saw me as our Philadelphia wallet. And yeah, so they go to the, the two coasts, they skip over flyover, they consider flyover. To Lindy's point, Pat, here's a quick chart. Look at this chart. On the left hand side, that's the national money. Look at the Republican lead over the Dems. Then in the middle is the Senate money, and then on the left is the House money. The money comes to the conservatives. So he can't find the Senate money in Texas. Where will a liberal Democrat find big donor money in Texas? George Soros doesn't live there. He's got to go outside and get it. And how does he do it? He picks the position to reflect, to get the money to him. You've got my vote, once we get to Senate, you've got my vote on these things. But I got to get to the Senate to do it. You got to help me. But even if they have money, how is this flying in Texas? How is it even close? How bad of a candidate is this? - Tallariko. - Not Tallariko. - Pat, how bad of a, this is just begging the question. How bad of a candidate is Pat, and if he isn't running away with this Tallariko guy? - In Texas? - Well, Pat is not the, he's not a guy that's going to get on a podcast or an interview and light it up. Tallariko is more charismatic than Paxson. His Paxson is a fighter. He's a lawyer, he's a dog, he's a fighter, but he's got some controversy in the past that he's maneuvering through, but it is Texas. It is Texas, and Ken Paxson is one of those guys that you want on your side as a lawyer. He's a tough guy. - You've had him on the show? - Yeah, he's a tough guy. - Okay. - He's a tough guy. - And what was your biggest takeaway with him? - He's a tough guy. And to me, the way he spoke off camera was better than the way he spoke on camera. - Like you think. - Talk like this. Come on, do your answer with the camera being on. Talk the way you did off camera. And it was like more trying to be proper on camera. I think he needs to kind of be a cowboy. - He has it in him to be it, but he's got a, he's got a, now again, his advisors are going to say different things, but we'll see what'll happen here. Let me get to the next story. By the way, before we go to the next story, we have to get into the Sampyker, the Charlie Kirkster. I'm going to get into the radar, your gold Bitcoin, but I want to do a reminder again with some chocolate because I'm seeing how many people are ordering the nice left and right. And some sizes go very quick. If you're 9, 10, 11, 12, any of those sizes, you know those go quick. Watch the clip again with the chocolate FLB shoes. Go for it. Handcrafted across five Italian factories with build or technology underfoot. It may be the most comfortable shoe you will ever own. Introducing the all new FLB shoe, finished, a new chocolate curates a leather made to move, built to endure, designed to impress. - Go to vtmers.com to place your order with the latest chocolate colored FLB shoe. - All I can think about is sexual chocolate right now. - By the way, when I tell you, when I tell you, you wear that with a nice blue suit or you wear that white pants, it is ridiculous. - Can I keep it 100 with you? - Yeah. - Keep it a buck as a kid say. I think this brown is so much better than the lighter brown. - Yeah, I mean, that's lighter. - Well, the lighter on the different, that's a different suit. - Listen, no shout out to lighter shade of brown. You pick and choose whether you're like lighter shade of brown or you're like, hey, black in the bear with the sweet of the juice. - Yeah, well, listen, this is, all I will tell you is, this is all I, you gotta come out with a female line. I'd love to get it. - Listen, we, we maybe, maybe one day, there's gonna be some announcements being made. But okay, female line, let's continue. We wanna do Bitcoin that we wanna do a song, which one do we wanna go to next? - Well me and Lindsay. - Yeah. - Let's go on. - Let's go on. - Let's go on. - Let's go on. - Let's go on to that. So here is Hassan Pikewood, there's having an event, and they're singing this song, which apparently this song was a song that went viral. I think it was an AI video they made, and it went viral on the Facebook boomer's side as what Connor was telling us earlier. And at their event, they're singing this song, mocking the great Charlie Kirk, go for it. ♪ Freed to die ♪ - Okay. (audience cheering) ♪ Charlie Kirk ♪ ♪ We can't hurt you ♪ ♪ Letting him ♪ ♪ Don't fight for the gospel ♪ ♪ For what is made ♪ ♪ Without your childy girl ♪ ♪ It's not her and you're gone ♪ ♪ Yeah, we're unbroken ♪ ♪ Old man, heaven no ♪ (audience cheering) - Vinny. - Oh, and I love that, 'cause you know he's gonna go on whatever kick, what is he on? - Twit. - Whatever the hell he's on, he's gonna sit there in his room while he's probably zapping his freaking dog in the neck and the back. But this is what really drives me crazy. Well, number one, it's not about Hassan Pikewood. We're talking about him because he's doing stupid stuff. It's not about him. It's about all the-
people behind it that he's campaigning for and all these, all the, you know, hugging AOC and all these, whatever, he says, if you can't say my name, say it, I don't care about your owner's portion. Whatever the hell his name is, but it's like, bro, like Hassan knew Charlie, you know what I mean? Like you shared the state with him. You debated with him. You disagreed about everything, but you still Charlie treated you with respect, okay? And now he's gone. He was a kid, he was a streamer. He, on that same stage, he was saying, yeah, guys, I kind of, like he was being so fake. About, yeah, I, you know, I don't mean the 9/11 and they're all a booed, the audience booed that he was kind of walking back his comments, which are absolutely nonsense, okay? He doesn't care, all right? He doesn't care. He talked about that. He talked about the capitalist, but he tried to say, you know, I'll kill, if I want to kill Charlie, I don't, and I'm tired. You play that clip. Yeah, play that clip. Yeah. Well, I'm, well, I'm talking about this. No, this is, this is the one him saying 9/11. Yeah. He was joking about 9/11. Go back a little bit. Go back. Go look at his smart. Yeah. Can you go back? Yeah. Oh, no, go forward. He's laughing in all of your fricking faces. Well, no, he's saying that, but the reaction to the audience is they're booing because they're like America did these. Yeah, but his smirk is, he's just saying that because he has to say it. He doesn't want to say, guy, enough of this, like his family and people apologizing for him. Apologize. He's not young. He's not stupid. He's a grown-ass person that hates this country and when I joined the United States Air Force, when you joined the army, any veteran that's out there, when you raise your right hand and you sort of protect this country against enemies, foreign and domestic, I really never knew what the domestic was. I in my head, I'm like, foreign, okay, this is the enemy that they were talking about. These are the domestic, these people that want to destroy this fricking country. They want to bring in all this nonsense social, if you're, listen, if you're trying to come to this country and bring in socialism and destroy this and brag about terrorism and put out your mask and take over, you're the enemy. I don't care. All this funny streaming you want to be cool, you are the enemy, okay? And I know like these people hate the fricking country. They hate America and they hate you and mind you. This is always coming from a Hassan Pekbali. There's a photo of him. There's a photo of him on a pony. He comes from a rich family. Could you look up him on a little pony that his family owned. He's a chubby fat kid that comes from money. He's a champagne socialist and makes three to four million dollars a year. But guess what? The country, look at him. Look at this little guy. Look at the little guy with his pony and a family. But he's the communist. He wants none of you to have money. He wants the government to control your life. And he comes from money. He's a phony. He's a phony. And I hope he plays this on his dumb ass show with all those fricking losers watching him. This is the greatest country in the history of the world. But he wants to take it away from everybody and destroy it. To hell with him. So play this clip and then live on coming to you. Go for it. What about democratic mayors? It's like, what the fuck are you talking about, dude? We're talking about socialized medicine. And you can turn around and you can ask a question about murderous cities and their democratic mayors. I will fuck. I want to kill him, dude. I want to kill him. Hello. I'm in a video. I'm in a video. Yeah. In a video. Yeah. See that? Yeah. Setting. I want to own him in a video game setting. That's it. That's your initial rage. Your initial thing. Especially when he didn't listen to you. I know you want to talk. When he did the, the, the streets, and they're kill them, kill them all, talking all that shit, then do it. It drives me crazy when people like a songpiker, all you do is bark, bro. Are you going to bite? It's always them saying do this or do that. I'm going to kill it. Then go do it. I know your side did it. You know, the left side. I know he's bragging. Oh, they're taking the, the, the, the, the, the spotlight away from the left. No, it's people like you. And if you're going to talk to talk, walk the walk and he's not, let's want other people to do, to, to, to do his fight. Any, Vinnie, I want to point out, jank lie to us when we were on. 100%. But it just, he completely lied to our faces. He said that Hassan Piker immediately apologized for his remarks saying that America deserved 9/11. No, I actually looked at the timeline. It took him three days. Okay. It doesn't take you three days to realize it's not something you should ever say. Let alone contemplate. Yeah. Like my goodness. By the way, I, I want to thank you for your service to our country. America is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I give thanks to God that I am able to wake up in this country every single day. It brings tears to my eyes that somebody would denigrate and lambast our country like that and elevate someone like Maldzadon. Give me a break. This guy who killed tens of millions of people, you hold him up and dare to blame our country for 9/11. What is wrong with you? And he is, now he's telling the Democrats, please defend me. Why aren't you defending me? Yeah. Like, don't apologize for me. You should be embracing me. And frankly, a lot of Democrats are. Yep. And by the way, this is, this is a great problem for Republicans because Democrats don't know how to handle Hassan Piker. Every time the conversation comes up, they fumble. They think this is a good idea. You have to realize there is the young social media kids that follow someone like him that are not happy. They don't have a job. They're not creating jobs. They're miserable. They're part of that. It's not my fault. It's America's fault. There is those guys and then there is the middle age or older who see something like this and they say, wait a minute, Democrats, you're for this. This is turning me off. So, you know, there was a couple of times that, you know, you have to realize people have to voter turnout is a very big thing. Just as much as people may not, some of the Democrats may not vote for Trump or may not vote for Republican, but some of them sat out, well, you know, you know what causes people sitting out? People like this. Take the position. Hey, you know, we like him. We just want to hear him out. No problem. See what happens when it's time to vote for it. Tom, either one of you guys are going to go for it. I actually disagree with Vinnie. I'm actually a huge fan of Hassan Piker these days. Nobody is doing more to motivate the Republican mega base to get out and vote than this character right here. And when I think of Hassan Piker, I'm not worried about him and dressing up as Mao or basically praising communism. And I want to know who's showing up at these events, cheering for him. Who are the politicians that says, I need more votes. Get me a Hassan Piker over here to come motivate my base. That's what I got a problem with. This random, comi, comity tour that he's doing, which is like their version of Kiltoni. Instead, it's Kilt Charley, or they're singing and dancing on Charley's grave. They're doing more to motivate common sense people to say, look, I might not approve of certain things that maybe is going on with Trump right now or with Iran or with gas prices. But this is America, dammit. This is Texas, dammit. I'm not supporting this nonsense. So Hassan Piker, respectfully to Vinnie, huge fan, buddy, keep it up. Love what you're doing to help America stay the greatest country in the world. I agree with how to them. I have nothing more to add to this. Wow. I just mic drop Tom. No. I mean, I have nothing more to add to this. But keep it up, Hassan. Keep it up, because when they start seeing real polling and they start seeing what real people think the Republicans do have an affordability problem, but they do not have a common sense problem on the core Americans and the core Americans do not like that. And it's crazy though that we talked about this before the show, the left. You know, that big tent that we keep hearing about by Chuck Schroen and all these people, they will say what you want about them. They will freaking stay behind their people no matter what, from Eric Swawa with all the freaking allegations, all the girls, all the stuff to, you know, platinum, bro, platinum literally allegedly, girl beating whatever, not see tattoo. They're still like, yeah, but come on, we still, we have a big tent. And this guy falls in that big tent and I understand the angle that you guys are taking. But at the end, I'm going to call out the enemy and I'm telling you, don't sleep on these people because people like that with their big fat ass mouths, they talk. It's a dog whistle, not a dog shocker like he has. It's a dog whistle where people are like, yeah, listen, all it takes is one motivated idiot to hear his mouth and go, you know what? I'm going to hold on, Adam, I'm going to go see Vinnie or Pat or whatever and try to kill them. Oh, you mean like they did with Charlie Kirk literally? You mean that? That's what I'm saying is dog. I agree with that. I'm mostly about to pass question about what do I think about a songpiker. I think I think they're going to have to pay a pay a price. I agree, but, but, and I'm with you playing that whole 9/11 non joking clowning Charlie. I'm, Adam, one idiot. You know how stupid people are? One idiot to be like, you know what, Hassan is right or whatever his name is right. I'm going to go and kill one of these people and then guess what, they zero, zero responsibility that they're going to take. Zero. I still believe in free speech in this country. That's all right. I radically believe that this guy should say whatever he wants. Let's not forget who he is. He's radical leftist, his uncle is junkweager, and a radical leftist, you know, killed Charlie Kirk and they're singing and dancing on his grave. How much you want to bet this, Charlie's going to get the last laugh. That's my opinion. What do you mean? Charlie's going to get the last laugh. I think the radical left is being exposed. And do you have that clip of what Charlie just said, not just said, there was a clip in our chat. Do we have that pull that up?
You're gonna get the last laugh. - Charlie's gonna get the last laugh. - Are you publicly announcing that you're becoming a Christian because you're gonna see him in heaven with Jesus and use that. - I walk in the footsteps of Jesus, he was Jewish. - Ironically, I think Hassan Piker made it more difficult for Republicans to win Wisconsin. Because it's a part of the reason why Francesca Hong lost the primary was her association with Hassan Piker. Democrats wouldn't, there were some moderate Democrats who saw the light and wouldn't have it. So they elevated the moderate to win that race. - So the Republican is now going up against the moderate, which would have been, you know, now it's gonna be tougher to beat. I just, I'm just saying. - Well, let's do that. You said Tucker, right? So did you say Tucker, right? - Tucker to be. - Tucker, I'm sorry, I thought I heard Tucker. - There's that clip of it. - Well, let me, let me show this transition because I do wanna, remember I told you guys, I'm gonna show a clip at the end as well that I'm gonna share with you. But let's go into how out of the blue, the president tweeted something about Marjorie Taylor Green, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Kent and a few others. If you wanna pull this up. - Thompson. - So Tucker Carlson just met with the lightweight former Congressman Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Green, Trader Green, losers all, Tucker's views have fallen through the floor and will only get worse. Nobody cares about him any longer in that he has become totally relevant and happens to be surprisingly very low IQ individual. He could barely get out of college and maybe he didn't, but only real dumb people can make it through that wonderful four-year time in life. Tucker wants to run for a political office, but he should be required to take a cognitive test. He's got no chance, but could probably take a couple of points away from whatever the Republican tickets happens to be. Tucker's a loser and always has been Marjorie Taylor Brown, like a highly neurotic young woman went from ultra conservative to a liberal fool all in a matter of weeks because I refused to return her phone calls, not because I didn't like her, just because I had no time. She was way down on the polls in Georgia because I took away my endorsement and would have to have no chance of winning. So she, just like everyone else, quit Thomas Messia's turn out to be a failed politician and a real jerk he thought it was wonderful to vote, no, on everything, no matter how good, strong and proper the legislation would be, what a team this would be, three losers and a pocket full of change, the only chance they have is to join the radical left Democrats and try breaking into the primary system. To all of them, I say, praise to Allah. - May be, I can even read that. Praise me to Allah, Donald J. Trump. - Lindy, where do you stand with this? - That's amazing. And I, Marjorie Taylor Greene, man, she is really embracing the CNN, the view, the Kool-Aid. This is, I frankly, unbelievable and a little bit disappointing. You know, I, I thought she was in Maverick but she is completely selling out to the liberal media complex. - Do you agree with what the president is saying? Do you agree that they're gonna take a couple percent away from somebody because some of the Republicans on the walk right may join Tucker if he decides to run? - In the United States, a third party, just flat-out doesn't work. It just doesn't work. They just play a spoiler. And I don't know. This sounds like a vanity project and frankly it's deeply selfish because he's basically handing, you know, you know, it's a, it's open question as to which side is gonna hurt most because some people could say they're taking away from the liberal base, right? Or are they taking away from the Republican base? It's really up and there. What do you guys think? - I think, I think run is a Republican. If you wanna freaking do it, do it Trump, Trump then a run isn't independent. Trump said I'm going to do change. I'm going to make change. And I don't care what anybody says. There's a bunch of disappointment, especially on the second term with the war and all that stuff. But Trump was exactly what the country needed in 2000. I don't care what anybody says. We needed him. He came in and he exposed the hell out of everybody. With all the law fair, the shooting, the trying to take his money to try to put him in jail. Him saying, you're fake news to Jim Acosta. We needed him at that specific moment. Okay, we needed him. So if you wanna come in by any rent as a Republican, Tucker and all of them Margie Taylor Greene, come in and run. Like get in, you nailed it. There's no third party that's gonna do anything but be a destructor, that's it. That's it. You're gonna hurt the Republican party, Peter. - Look, there's a famous phrase. And you go for the king, you best not miss. And Tucker missed. And Tucker has his gun and he's just pulling out his foot and just boom, shooting himself in the foot constantly, constantly, constantly, as his credibility is authenticity and any basket of credibility he ever had is completely out the window. Speaking of baskets, this collection of basket of losers with Margie Taylor Brown, Thomas Massey, Joe Kent, when I say losers, I'm not giving like an actual like, they're loot, they literally lost. Nobody voted for Joe Kent. He basically stabbed Trump in the back after getting run out of town in every election. You're gone. Margie Taylor Greene, she owes everything in her life to Trump. I'm so grateful, are you 'cause you disagree with the policy or two? You walk out the door, Thomas Massey, Loserville. And then Tucker, he's the king of the losers, literally. So here he is, he could do what he wants to do. So I don't know what is gonna happen with Tucker. I'm speculating he ain't running for nothing. He doesn't have the work ethic, the stamina, nothing to get out and do what Trump has done. Trump does it, Tucker talks about it. - Tom. - Well, I've been trying to find the Trump and Doris candidates that lost in 2026. And I think there's like two. It shows who still has the weight and the gravitas with the voters on the Republican side, with the GOP voters and with the candidates that are acceptable to Trump. And they say that of all the hundred and. Okay, Trump has made 312 primary endorsements in 2026 with a 96% win rate, which is remarkable. It's not like he just picked the 10 he liked past. - Oh, I'm 10 and 0. - Really, because you pick Ted Cruz in Texas. Wow, you're way out on a limb on that one. No, he's out there giving weight and giving support to them. And this is amazing. And so this is a epic rant. I called it that. What an epic rant. - A epic rant, I like that. - But he's making a point. I mean, he carries the weight and you know what? In politics, they call it about, you know, there's the red meat speech. Why would that person give such a speech? Well, it didn't make sense to you sitting in Florida, you know, watching that speech on CNN, but it made a hell of a sense to the ranchers at Randallas when he was there. And they call it in politics a red meat speech, a red meat to the base. And so he just threw red meat to those people that wanted to see him be tough, be resilient, and not back down. And that's, that's what this did. You know the name that actually should be worried about this tweet? There's one name, JD Vance. Because JD's cool with Tucker. JD, this is JD's people. So Trump just sent out a warning shot saying, "Oh, you want to disrespect me?" JD, like indirectly, this was like a stray bullet, coming his way. What do you think about the JD component? I don't know. I mean, listen, when I had Ben Shapiro on, he said he doesn't think Rubio's gonna run, and I hope he does. I hope Rubio definitely considers running. Cause the way he said it is, "You run, you lose to JD, you're done. You run, you lose in the general, you're done. You don't run, wait till JD runs, then you run afterwards, you win, you become president. I don't agree with that, but that was Ben's position. But going more to this year, would where Tucker's at, I love that people want to run. I hope, you know, Mark Cuban runs. I hope the rock runs. I hope a lot of people run and go present your ideas to the market and see how they react to it. But the challenge here is one thing you have to be very careful with is the following. And this one, the hardest things to do in life, one the hardest things to do in life. It is so flipping difficult to do. When you win and you start getting some people around you that are saying, man, let me tell you dude, I think you could do it, you're fucking sick. I think you can beat 'em. I think you're better than this. I think you're better than that. And you hear it so much from people and you don't have the self-awareness to be like, yeah, I think there's levels to this game and I'm not there yet. No, bro, you got it, bro. No, oh really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, you know what? I can do it. And then you're like, yeah, boom. You're not sure what was that all about, right? Drinking your old cooling. I think, you know, there is levels to this game. And if Tucker wants to go do it great, test it out. But to think that Trump's base is gonna leave him for you, you're not that guy. You're not, you're not that guy. You're talented, you're capable. You run a very popular podcast. You've done a great job with a lot of interviews with, you know, what do you call it Putin and others and credit to you as an entertainer, charming, charismatic that you have that and you have a certain following. But are you a kingmaker? I don't know. You know what a kingmaker is? Like a kingmaker is when the guy says, this could happen and there's moments where whatever that guy says things happen. How many times has he made predictions? How many times? Or is he a, you know, secondary one? Like his position with Israel, he followed Nick Fuentes. Like in that topic, Nick's the leader of Tucker, not the other way around. So if it's like, well, let me tell you, it's really Israel. Well, a 22 year old is the guy that led you at that time and now you're what, 28, I don't know how old Nick is. So Nick Fuentes is Charlie Kirk's is a, is Tucker Carlson's leader in my eyes is that? No, no, I don't want to say you're being funny about it. But what I'm saying is, He's. leading him. What has he taken a first position on that's a risk? You know, say what you want with Candice. She took a position and she's the first. Now, whether she ends up being right or wrong, that's a different story with, but that's a risk. No, under some what I'm what you're saying. But what has he taken that is the first? Trump took first. They're sending rapists. They're sending their wars. What? He's crazy. He's racist. Let me go make my argument. Why? So Tucker is believe it or not, Tucker is like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So I, you know, I don't know if I'm making sense on what I was saying. Tucker doesn't have fans. He has followers. People listen to Tucker, but nobody's marching to the pipe. Piper of Tucker. Let me ask you a very specific question. Go for it. If Tucker Carlson was a stock right now, where's his stock? In 2020, he was the number one guy he was, and then he got fired. Dominion. Where's his stock right now? Because I have speculation. Where would you say his stock is? Is it at all time? Hi. Is it all time? Go wait to say it is. No, and the stock. No, no, I think put it in basic. That's a good question. Put it in three categories. Buy, sell or hold. Like Ray Dalio said, buy gold, hold Bitcoin. Am I holding Tucker right now with the games and relationships he's building? I don't know. I don't know. And I think a part of it is really predicated on what JD does with Trump. Because if JD gets in his head, that he does what a pen stands, like let's just say that Tucker, remember, whoever Tucker gets a hold of, if people spend a lot of time with Tucker, he baptizes you into his way of thinking. That's Tucker. If you get close to look at what Megan Kelly, look at all these guys, they go, oh, yes, but Tucker's right, but Tucker's this. So he knows how to do that well. It's a very important skill set. Like, you know, I ran insurance company. And I'm, you know, as of September 30, it's my last day that I'm there. And there are some people that are going behind closed doors. Oh, look, but let me tell you what PBD did and what he didn't do and what he didn't know. And then I watched, we had a conversation. Ricky Aguilar sends me a question. He says, Pat, who do you think are the most grateful people that you ran with in the company? And I say grateful, took me a week to respond. And by the way, I never told them the list of names, but I actually made a list of names myself. And then I said, who do you think he gave me the list of names? I said, to me, gratitude is different than the best builder, the best performer, the best, the most competitive. Because sometimes the moment people, gratitude is when you no longer have anything that that person can give you. Are you still grateful to that person changing your life, right? And you're like, Oh, I don't need him anymore. Screw him. Let me see what's over here. And they forget all the things you did for them. That's kind of a gratitude is in my eyes. And people get to pick and choose, this is not judgment. Everybody decides and be around long enough. You'll be, you know, you'll experience that. To me, in this sense is, you know, when you look at a situation like this, those people that are good at going and converting people into the negative or dividing, it's a very powerful skill set. And Tucker's got that. He's very good at that. Because it's questions like, well, what do you think about his relationship with his wife? It's kind of weird. Don't you think what do you think about it? Well, what do you think? It's a little weird. Don't you think that? I saw a clip of him saying as long as you tell her she's always right, you're going to have a wonderful marriage. Did you see that? Yeah. And by the way, I've heard that from Christian pastors, you know, and stuff like that. So I'm a Middle Eastern. We have a different way. And I married a white girl. And then we've made a work. But to me, you know, that's the part. That's the part of what's going to happen. I want to see what the reason why Mark Cuban can go run and be formidable is because he's one in business. He's one in sports. He's very famous. And he's actually smart. And he's a good salesperson. So he's one and one and one and one. The reason why Trump went and did what he did is because he won in media. He won in real estate. He comes from a family. He's one and he's been an a-lister for how long? 40 or 30 years? He's one. He's one. He's one. I don't know where you're going to put Tucker in that list. Where would you put them on the buy cell hold? I'm going to hold to see what JD is doing. I'm not buying. Well, can I give my end? I know you're selling. Well, I sold a year ago. But you know what stocky is to me? I don't know if you guys can pull this up. Have you seen Nike stock lately? Yes. Unbelievable. What is that? Colin Kaepernick. Colin Kaepernick. Weird. Because the won. Nike stock, guys, I sent it to in a text. Nike stock has plummeted over the last handful of years. Why? Very common to what Tucker's doing. They completely forgot who their customer is and they forgot who their base is. Tucker's base is the MAGA audience. Go five years. Tucker's audience is who MAGA is. So you think you're going to come in and try to usurp Trump's credibility and audience. And then and then steal it away. If you do, you're going to end up looking like a fool. If you do great underdog story and I like competition, but you better be right. You think Tucker's built like that. You think Tucker's built like Trump. I know you don't. What are you talking about? Of course he's not. Of course he's not. But to me, you know, if he believes that, show it to the market. Let's add a market to react. I'm sure the market will show to the market. Let's see how you react to you. I also just want to point out the media. The leftist media loves playing up the Republican divide. They love playing up the fact that Megan Kelly and Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Green are going off to the side and doing the only thing. They need that. But if you look at the actual numbers, I think it's like what five to ten percent of the Republican base actually agree with them. If that, I think that's a generous assessment. So they make it seem like this. There's this huge schism. But it's actually not that big at all. I think Megan will adjust. I think Megan will adjust and come back. But I think a lot of people are in too deep and they won't be able to flip. You think Megan will adjust? I think Megan. All she does is adjust. She's, she's, she's the mark Cuban of female politics. Where does she stand for at this point? And I'm not even crapping on her. I think it's attractive. I think she's smart. Is she a fan? I thought believe it or not. You're a Republican. She a Democrat. What is she? I don't know. But here's what I'll tell you. I, I thought, but I thought when I made a list of names of a handful of people after Charlie Kirk, who I thought could play a role to unify, I had her as one. I had her as one of her stock has plummet. I had her as one of them. But again, you know, people can't, people can't adjust and say, listen, I made a mistake. And here's where I'm going. Who knows? Let me do a, a, a, this last story here and then we'll wrap up. Maybe we'll do two more stories. We got 40 minutes left. Can you, can you do me favor and go to the story with a cramer on mad money, two weeks ago, folks, yeah, but we, here's a, here's a thing with investments and money and finances and how much money is lost. I got to call the yesterday for, there was an auction going on with the hand of God of Maradona, who was at $2.5 million. You know the hand of God that Maradona is going. That ball sold yesterday for $3.3 million, $3.2 million, the ball itself. But here's, is this the clip of Kramer? Do you have which one it is of Kramer? Go to the Kramer clip one of two weeks ago. He says, I sold all my Bitcoin. This is it. Watch this here, folks. There, there's a lot of people that say anything Kramer and Drake say do the opposite. Yes, whatever Drake bets on, bet against him. Okay. So here's Kramer on what he said about Bitcoin. Go forward. >> Arvin, Arvin Christian knows quantum. He knows, he knows Bitcoin and quantum and I'm going to sell mine. You are. Yes. Absolutely. Just on what he said. >> What? He's the man. He's the man. Three, four years, David Yellen, two four years. >> By the way, did he give you any reassurances in terms of what happened last quarter? >> I felt yes. I don't know if we have a little sad about how things are going since then. But yeah. Okay. Okay. So this is two weeks ago. Can you go to how Bitcoin's done since? Is this the clip that says surges to $78,000, three weeks after Kramer say you're going to play this clip. Okay. Surges to $78,000, three weeks after Kramer said he has sold over quantum fears. So I'm going to come to you, Tom. Then I want to read what Ray Dalio said about golden Bitcoin. Go for it. Tom. >> I'm not going to watch these guys. No, go ahead. No, I think it's it's shocking. Once again, I mean, if you go to autopilot, autopilot is great. You can get yourself an autopilot account, link it up to a swab, link it up to Robinhood, whatever, and take that amount of money and pick a proxy like I, you know, we've given like last year, we gave money to wounded warriors on the profit I made on the Pelosi. Well, you can also get inverse Kramer. It's so funny. And the logo is his head upside down where you actually are buying all the bags. This is just yet again. There he is. There he is. Inverse Kramer is up 285. >> Wow. >> That's exactly right. And then here he is. Two weeks ago, he's like, yeah, I'm out of here. And all of a sudden, Bitcoin went from I believe 625 to 77 in my right path over the last two weeks, thinking that range. And it's just, it's shocking. But there you have it. And look at this. It's been flat for so long. Wait, this is, go back like one month. This is one day. Go to one month. Go to one month. >> It's been flat for about a year because I lost money on I.B.I.T. in Dex Fund. And suddenly Jim Kramer comes to the rest. >> There it is. >> I need him to talk about money. >> Exactly. >> It's like it's fun. Look at it. The red lines where it was for while Vinnie and all of a sudden, he's like, yeah, I'm tired of this. >> He's out of the eyes though. Here's the part. The argument is, how is gold doing? Can you go look at what gold's done the last three weeks? I'm actually curious what gold is done the last three weeks. Not gold, man. Just gold price. Can you just get out of it and go to gold and type in gold price? >> Gold's been up. >> Yeah. So if you go to gold three weeks, this is the part. Go to one month. Yeah, go to one month.
Okay, so look at gold and maybe go to six months, 'cause gold went up to 5,100 and it came back up, right? Do you notice a pattern in the last three weeks with gold and Bitcoin? They're all up, why? Why are they up? Typically when gold is up, it's not always a good thing that gold is up, so let me read what Dalio was saying about this, because Dalio comes out and says, "Look, the whole thing that's going on right now, he is on, I believe, hold on Bitcoin and buy gold because he believes things are about to hit the fan." So Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson debt buyback announcement this week, fit a broader pattern that can signal a forthcoming crisis said, "Radalio, billionaire Radalio." Recommending gold and Bitcoin, the Bridgewater Associate Founder said, "Bessons plan to increase government that purchases coupled with Japan's reducing its U.S. bond exposure and surging long dated American deals suggests investors should prepare portfolios for increased risk. I'm confident that the government's financial condition is at an inflation point, Dalio wrote on LinkedIn Friday. If this is not dealt with now, the debt will build up to levels where they can't be managed without great trauma. He noted Treasury has only limited capacity to buy back bonds against the scale of issuance and that the pattern authorities intervening to surpass long-term rates while deficits grow historically precedes debt crisis, rather than resolving his prescription, own the things government can't print. Tom, do you agree with him? - I agree with him on, in times of great monetary crisis on a sovereign level, and that would be US dollar sovereign, owning alternative assets that are of limited supply, that's what he says can't print, usually turns out to be right. So when gold is going up to your point pat, and Bitcoin is going up, why is that? Because people are worried about the regular fiat currency and all the stuff that fiat buys, and they run to the alternative with supposedly stores of value because of their limited quantity. And so that's where it's going. And Bessent is something's going on between Bessent and Warsh. You mean, Bessent's going this way, Kim Warsh's going this way, and Bessent is out there trying to help bonds, and buying up back, you think we'd have the price to go up, but it's slipped. So which gives credence to Radalio saying, "Hey, is the market amount to make a correction?" That's really what Radalio is saying, is the market going to make a correction because of debt. And I don't think it's just because of government debt. And I'll tell you why. What's been happening with the owner of the Lakers who sold, and with these guys, you are finding out that it's not just them. There are other insurance carriers that are carrying alternative assets that have a little bit more debt, and uncertain debt targets. In other words, what they're putting their money in, where they're building the debt. And so, you know, Daly has been wrong before, and he's been a bit of a nervous guy for the last two years. You call on a depression. He wrote a book about depression. So, yeah, he's-- For the last two years, I'm saying he's been really-- Yeah, not principal, it's not-- He's been really a nervous guy for the last two years. Yeah. And so, but we managed to kind of grow, you know, our way out of it. I'm never one that's going to say, oh, don't worry about the debt. This is no problem. I worry about government manipulating it and inflating the way out, which crushes everybody's savings. That's what I worry about. Adam, 30 seconds if you have anything to add. Yeah, of course. The number one thing you could do is own assets. Listen, everyone gets fooled by Kramer. Everyone gets fooled by Daly. All these people aren't here to serve you. They're not here to serve the common man. Jim Kramer is an active investor, basically gambling, and trying to just figure it out. Don't do that. Ray Daly was a hedge fund guy worth $100 billion, whatever he's owned, $50 billion, whatever the numbers. These people aren't here for you. It's actually pretty simple, and Lindy pointed it out. She's a buy and hold investor. Always. You think I'm smart? You think I know what I'm doing? No, I do four things. I work, I earn, I save, I invest. And I've done that year after year after year after year. And luckily, I have a lot of money in the bank. It's not because I know what I'm doing. It's because I believe in two things. I believe in America, and I believe in capitalism. And if I keep pouring money into my 401(k) to my Roth IRA, to my index funds, and just save an investing, and buying Bitcoin, buying assets, voila, a multi-millionaire now. Nothing unique, but I just put in the work. These guys are just throwing you all face, do what you gotta do what you can. - Okay, so the last thing before we wrap up, moms, I made a promise to you, I was gonna play this clip. So there's an actor named William Fitchner. If you guys don't know who he is, this is him. He's been a lot of movies, he's been the Dark Knight, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Perfect Storm, Longest Yard, Heat, Black Hawk Down, he's been around. Okay, he's the guy that you say, that guy. Well, in a podcast, he said this, Vinnie, I think you're gonna love this. I think Adam, you're gonna love this. Look what he has to say here, recently, go for it. It's gonna be good with audio. - I would call my mother about everything. I had a good day of work, I would call my mother. I had a good day of work, it's raining out, hey mom. - It's my brother with them. - We talk about anything. And I pretty much did that my whole life. Now, some people believe that when you leave this world that you see all those people or they're waiting there for you. We've heard the expression, you know, somebody passes away and everybody says, well, you know, they're reunited with, you know, they're loved ones. So, if that's true, which is a pretty cool dream in and of itself, that would be great. I miss, I miss my closest friend when I was a kid. I miss one of my closest friends when I was in college. There's so many people that are no longer here that I miss. Some, some you just had a moment where there, some you were really close with. But can you imagine if you leave here someday and you get to see all of them at once, that's quite a dream, that's pretty amazing. So, I dream that someday I'll get a chance to see them and see my mother. And I've got a chance to talk to her again. - You can pause it right here. - Hey, mama. (laughing) - You used to go to the car wash right by my, to look alike. - Yeah. - He'd be in there all the time and then one time I went up to him, I was like, hey, just, I go, no autograph, no, no. 'Cause he's in there, just chilling, like pajama clothes. I go, you are freaking amazing. And the dark night, he's the one that was with a shotgun in the, in the thing. But that's freaking awesome, Pat. I've never even seen this clip, but like you could tell, you could tell, just in serity and the love for his mother and how amazing she must have been as a one could listen, as a Christian, as, you know, heaven and everything that Jesus did for us, that's absolutely what's gonna happen. That's absolutely what's got to buy. And look who posted it. - Snoop Dogg. - Snoop Dogg. - That's right, that's what made it special. - Do you know what is that? - Snoop Dogg is posted in that. - Yeah, it's a phenomenal message. - That is, yeah. - Such a phenomenal message. - I have to tell you about my mom. She's incredible, she's a traditional East Asian mom. She watches almost every one of your episodes because you've been so good to me. She's not a podcast girl. She's not, she's, again, an East Asian mom who has, she's involved with the church. She tutors and everything. And, you know, my parents speak broken English because they're immigrants, but she watches you religiously because all you done for me. And, I don't know, if that's not a mark of love, I don't know what is. And the fact that she's somebody that I've called three AM in the middle of the night, I'm sure everyone here has done that as well. That is just incredible love. There's nothing like a mother's love. I think it's the love that most resembles Christ's love, to be honest. - Why will take that as a compliment? Because I'm the only podcast that speaks with a broken English. So maybe her and I understand each other. (laughing) - I think, not to be sentimental, I think. - Mom, we love you, you're the best. I love you, mom. - This is Lee. I think, honestly, that's why I think we have such a great audience is because when you come here, you think you're coming here for business or news or politics or entrepreneurship or whatever it is, but a lot of times what you're learning here is family. It's kids, it's friends. And I think that's what makes this podcast so unique. - She loves you too, Adam. - Thank you, Mrs. Lee. But I just, we book ending this. We started the podcast talking about Fat Joe. And what he did with his son that is Down syndrome and ending it on Snoop Dogg of all people showing this clip of what's the actor's name? - William Fitch and I. - He's like one of those famous guys. I know you, but I don't really know you. I think that just sort of encompasses this episode. That's great. - Tom. - Well, I think the assurance that you have in Jesus Christ of salvation and being reunited with the saints who are there is precious. And it's what can lead you to this really emotional thing. As much as I wanna see my dad, I know that I'm gonna be so enthralled at seeing the Lord and I'm gonna be in this permanent sense of praise. That's what makes me really emotional. And that also gives me hope here on earth because that compass is what guides me trying to do things for other people. And what he was having a moment there that was just so touching and so real and so human.
And I hope he's a believer. I don't know him, but I hope that this is coming from the Holy Spirit and the joy of Jesus Christ. That gives us, as they say, the hope of, restore unto me the hope of my salvation. - Listen, that song makes sense, right? Reunited and it feels so good, right? I'm gonna finish on that. So folks, if you're watching this, Lindy, great having you on. Your book, Unburton, coming out here September 22nd. - You're in it. - Yes. - You guys are all in it. - I read it. It's phenomenal. The stuff that you're in, a lot of stories that are, a former Democrat insider shocking account of political power, betrayal and party collapse. Go click on a link below, order the book, Unburtoned, of Lindy Lee, support her message, and we're gonna put it all over the place. But with that being said, Lindy, great to see you again, as usual. We love seeing you. - I love you guys more than I can say. - And mom, you're amazing. Hopefully one of these days will get a chance to see you to everybody else. God bless. We will do this again. Are we doing a podcast on Friday? I think we are. And then next week we won't be because we're at the vault. We may, who knows, I'll tell you more on Friday. Take care everybody. Bye-bye.
