Cornell Case Reopened, Tel Aviv Plane Attack & Jobs Report Update | PBD Podcast #866
126m 59s
The transcript covers a range of current events and societal issues, from economic data to high-profile incidents. The jobs report shows fewer jobs created and a slight unemployment rise, leading to doubts about the Federal Reserve raising interest rates again, with analysts pointing to diesel price spikes as a potential driver of inflation rather than broad inflation. A dramatic Dubai flight incident where a co-pilot attempted to crash the plane after stabbing the captain is detailed, though passengers subdued him, resulting in a safe landing. The story underscores themes of heroism and cultural conflict, with passengers—many of whom are military-trained—playing a crucial role in preventing tragedy. Another major story involves allegations of a Cornell student being drugged and raped, raising questions about consent, personal responsibility, and institutional failures. Critics argue that fraternities at elite universities foster dangerous hazing and lack adequate oversight, calling for systemic reform. The discussion also touches on growing concerns about foreign nationals, especially from China, working in sensitive AI sectors, with experts warning of espionage risks. Throughout, the narrative emphasizes transparency, personal accountability, and the need for stronger safety and ethical standards in both aviation and higher education.
[MUSIC] I don't. What's your damage? The future looks bright. >> That's it. >> And Jacob is better than anything I ever saw. It's right here. >> You are one of one? >> My son's right here. >> I think I'm going to set this up. [MUSIC] >> Hi. >> Yeah, this is it. >> Inmate survives execution. What a story by the way we got. >> Right. >> We're last minute preparing all the stories. Tom's here talking about Diddy because I don't even want to get into one. >> Don't even get into one. >> Tom, we've barely had a Diddy party many, many years ago. >> I think it's cool where he's staying. >> He's staying. >> Yeah. >> But obviously some interesting stories to cover here. MLB, the sky, pine tar, sunny gray. And then you've got the other story. Peyton, Toley, phenomenal story. You're so pretty. We have to play that for you to know how phenomenal the story that is. But Major League Baseball apparently during the playoffs. There's this thing called playoffs. And they're all fighting for this thing called the World Series. And there's this one company in a Major League Baseball that spends billions of dollars that is causing a potential strike to come around the corner name. Dodgers, I think is what they call them. And they're going to be playing the Braves, right? The Yankees will be playing all our faults. The Yankees are playing. Who do Yankees play that? >> The Tampa Bay. Yankees. >> Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay. That this will be the series of the playoffs right now. It's a big series. >> Chicago White Sox against Cleveland, I believe. >> Correct. >> And then the other one is San Diego is going against Milwaukee. >> Milwaukee. >> A hot San Diego going up to Milwaukee with all that down. >> So who do you not want to face? Milwaukee or who do you, San Diego? Who do you not want to face? >> You know what? A hot San Diego team is very hard to face. >> Scary. >> But they're thin in their pitch. >> Physically? >> No, they're thin in pitching. >> Yeah. >> And so I would take them over Milwaukee. Milwaukee's got more talent. >> All right. >> So then we have jobs. >> Never won a World Series. >> Oh, wow. That's pretty, even with Robin Yount and all those guys. >> Never won a World Series and one other thing. >> I'll mark them in the NLCS. >> So let's. >> They got a chip. >> I got it. So jobs report will get into Vinnie when you have the numbers ready. Just give it to us on what's going on with the job report generating right now. >> What is the story about this pilot? >> 14,000 feet drops, nose dive in 30 seconds. Where the guy based on a TV show he watched, he got in there and saved the folks. >> Right. >> And this is almost like, and then all of a sudden he gets off. He goes, BBCNM people are saying this was a setup to get sympathy and sympathy. And this is not a real thing. >> Oh, yeah. >> TV show. >> It wasn't show. That has really happened. And CNN did assimilate. You know, like, hey, this is kind of what it would look like. I don't know if we have the video or not. >> Yes, they have them without the pilot. >> And then there's this other, the Cornell rape case that came up, which is very weird. First or so, so at first this girl allegedly, well, not allegedly. She allegedly snorted cocaine off the guy's dangling. >> Yes. >> Right? >> Sure, but she was a mom. >> It was a mom. >> So she gets this. >> Nothing to see here. >> And then she texts one of the guys that she had hooked up with two other guys. And then she texts the guy and says, hey, I really enjoyed it. Then few months later, she realizes she can no longer be invited back to the parties because she was a, you know what? >> Labeled. >> Yeah. And then she then decides to go out there and say she was raped. And this story is a massive story. All these guys are getting caught up. It reminds me of the allegations, Tom, in the past, when it was at Pence. I don't know which one it was. It was the players that were stuck in this rape allegation athletes that ruled out. >> Oh, wait a minute. You're talking about the Duke lacrosse. >> The Duke lacrosse. >> Yes, it reminds me that they're trying to just throw these guys under the bus. So we'll go into that case. Definitely. >> Many people wrote checks to the Duke lacrosse player. >> Well, listen. And then we have the other story, which is kind of weird. There's a Christophe pike, PIKE pike. In Tennessee, she's being executed because she's on death penalty. First time they feel, second time they feel. Now people are saying, wait a minute. What's going to happen with this girl? Are they going to be able to do it again? And then this has happened. And second time they've had a failed execution in the same year, in the same state. Tennessee. They're horrible at killing people. And now people are sympathizing and saying, my God, why? You know, this poor girl. If you're going to kill her, don't kill her like this, like kill her. But then they forget. Then he's telling me the story of how her and her boyfriend, she had a problem with this other girl. They go take her out with a rock, apparently, they hit the head. And then she keeps a piece of the girl's skull and brags about it to her friends. These are the types of friends you don't want in life, Adam. >> True advice. >> And it's like these bad things. >> Yeah, so that's now a story we'll get into it. Some are saying, hey, we got to bring back, you know, the what do you call it? The electric chair. >> Electric chair. >> And this is all happening during the year where the governors are debating to become the governor. Because it's like open season right now. So it's become a topic of discussion. We'll talk about that. And then heating oil. If you're in East Coast. If you're in East Coast, you know, Tom was talking about this. Tom's been whispering to people saying, hey, even here. Every time we turn on the heat, there's this turn it off. We got to save it for, you know, winter's coming. But all jokes aside, you know, apparently it is so cold in the East Coast that even the starting picture for the Boston Red Sox had to use pine tar. >> Yeah. >> Because the ball was so cold that he had to use pine tar to try to beat the Yankees to kind of be able to have a little bit more velocity, which, you know, some people that playing. >> Slider spin. >> Slider spin, right? >> And he had it that night. >> But the reality of it is, if this thing goes in the direction that it does, that whole statement of winter is coming, it could be coming to certain states. >> Oh yeah. >> And when it does, it could be problematic. We'll cover that as well. I know we talked about a diesel. We talked about gasoline. But this is a complete different conversation. We'll have that as well. And then there's this actress that we just have to play this video for you. We don't want to do it. You know, there's this actress that says, I wish my son was, she's saying that his son was, her son was gay. And she was disappointed that her son didn't want to, and you just have to watch this video. >> What a disappointing one. >> You would think if this is an act or not, you know, this girl right here, I don't, what's her name by the way, Cameron? >> No one knows. >> Yeah. So anyways, we'll watch this as well. Maybe you agree. Maybe you don't agree. And then we got a couple other stories we'll get into outside of that. There's a story about childless adults are spending more money on toys than parents. Let me say that one more time. Childless adults. These are people that don't have kids are spending more money for toys for themselves. Not adult toys like you go to, you know, triple X toy stores and you get certain toys. Not, not Hank of stuff like that. We're talking about toys or us type of toys. So childless people that don't want to have kids, they want to buy toys. So you know who's making a comeback? Toys or us is making a comeback just for these guys, because then we buy toys. >> Really? >> But you didn't know that? >> I mean it is. >> They're making a comeback and MLB rises for attendance. Four years straight to 71.75 million according to ABC News. Exciting stuff that's going on there in the Astros. I will cover these four stories at the end for some of you guys I want to hear this. The Astros had 7,000 empty seats in a playoff game. Playoff? Playoff? Nine games at home. They've lost and the fans are furious booing them. They barely made the playoffs with 81 and 81. Best record and they were 500 after 162 games and fans are pissed off. We'll cover that. >> Should be. >> They should be. Yeah, would that be in said, we got a special announcement for you. If you notice why I'm wearing the jacket here, this beautiful jacket that on the back it says faith over fear. I want my friend to my left. You're right. Vincent Oshana to tell you about this jacket. >> Thank you guys. So guys, we had this jacket for insiders only at the vault and they were sold. I think they sold in two days. I called you. I'm like, Vinnie, let's go out of lunch. You're like, Pat, I can't. Everybody wants this jacket. >> Everybody was behind this jacket. So I want to let you guys know. The front of it has our crest. We have the lion crest here as well and on the back guys. Our hats say faith over fear. This is kind of small. This is letting people know right off the jump. Faith over fears on the back. >> That's sick. >> There's our ridiculous with Hebrews 111 on the back. The inside of the jacket. It has all of our, all of our feats. I'm telling you right now. How warm is it? We're talking about winter. Be real. It's freaking warm. >> I love this thing. >> I love it. >> So guys, and everybody was asking. I'm telling you guys right now, limited supply. We only have 100. And they're going to go like that. >> What if a guy came up to you? What did he, an atheist? >> I'm outside. Adam's inside the store talking to people and taking photos. A guy goes out and he runs the jacket. He's like, "Vity, oh my god, he goes, listen. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not a big believer. I believe in some spiritual something. I'm basically an atheist. But I have to rock the jacket because I love how it looks. An atheist bought this jacket. And Adam was there. Adam's my witness. So anyway, guys, go right now to flb.com and get yours. I'm almost positive. This is going to be gone by the time the show's on. >> And by the way, if you do it right, get the hat. And the shirt with it to have the entire combination. The white shirt that goes with it. And kind of like Vinny right now. The white shirt, the jacket, and the hat. Go to flb.com. Less than 100 of these jackets left, especially by sizes. All right, would that be in said? Let's get right into it. Tom, the first thing I want to talk about is Jobs Report. So last month, you were a little bit pissed off because Kevin Warsch comes out and he raises the rates. And you were furious. We had to kind of calm you down. We got your cups of coffee. We got your all this stuff to come. We brought you different bottles of wine. But Tom's like, Warsch made a mistake. You shouldn't have raised the rates because you just don't do that. Anyways, then the report comes out today. And inflation.
time won't you tell the audience what happened with inflation going up and i know you have your opinions on it and will hash out here together but go for it just when the last hours what we're talking about you may see headlines america in the last hour the jobs report was expected to be about eighty five eighty nine thousand and they also expected inflation to be about four point one percent this report comes out every month in here we are september second so here comes the reports but uh. october second excuse me it's october second here comes a report for september it comes out and it was twenty nine thousand jobs not eighty five eighty nine so that sixty thousand less means jobs cooling and they said unemployment went from four point one where it had been for a couple months i think three months in a row it's been four point one it went to four point two that's a very minor uptick unemployment unemployment right inflation went what what direction did inflation i think you're talking about inflation no no the unemployment ramp four one to four two so those two things when the jobs report and so everyone was cheering this morning because what this means is that the fed had said they were going to raise rates in october and by the way you know the fed meeting was actually three weeks ago that i was so upset and now the next fed meeting is like right in front of us pat it's october twenty eight twenty nine so it's coming up quick in exactly four weeks and so this morning the bonds went down and the market went up in response to this and people are saying this now puts pressure on the fed to not raise rates again because they said they're going to raise them in october and i don't think you should have raised them last time but this data says don't do it again and that and there's a lot of people including me they're happy about this yeah and i think this now gives you the moral authority to push on wars and say look if unemployment is going in this direction now now you got a lower the rates because his argument was inflation right because i think inflation went up correct it rose point two percent for the month uh. in three percent year over year and that's his biggest trigger time if i'm mistaken and but people like me are fighting on that i know i say it's because of diesel the diesel that's six fifty by the way over the over the weekend it was eight oh five by double-checked in california they have those extra taxes it was eight oh five diesel so to deliver amazon to take strawberries from the field to the market anything that diesel does it inflates the price in our economy but it's not sector inflation it's a shock of the sub of oil in the supply so that's i call that not real inflation because soon as you can get diesel back down everything else comes back down and wars looked at it and said it was full inflation there's might debate on inflation okay adam your thoughts on this well look i just want to compare the united states unemployment rate to the rest of the world because sometimes it'll give you just context as to how are we doing because i actually believe that the economy is pretty stable and especially regarding compared to other countries all the world around the world so let me give you this so united states unemployment rate is around four percent give or take right we're not getting to four point one four four point two they okay so here's compared to other countries around the world just the little context right here you ready australia four point six percent united kingdom five percent india five percent brazil five point three china if you even believe their numbers five point four percent canada who's you know gonna eff around and find out with america with their little uh trade tip six and a half percent turkey the great autumn and empire out there almost eight percent france eight percent woken weird out there south africa when we're talking g-20 countries thirty three percent so there's very few countries mexico three percent and germany four percent that are even on america's level so let's give some context here america is doing pretty damn good compared to all the major g-20 g-20 countries around the world but you know and the average person's gonna sit there and say but we're america it's not just about we're doing better than them we're the greatest country in the world we have to be crushing it better than everybody that doesn't mean we're not immune from situation short what i'm telling you is a lot of folks are gonna sit there and say hey that's not us we got to do better and some people are still feeling what's going on today in a marketplace how long that lasts who knows but i'm convinced i don't think they'll be raising rates in a next time or when it comes back time i think it's gonna be a flat i don't think they'll time are you listening time i'm looking at you so they're they're not gonna be raising rates they well i know you're watching the content as well i don't think they'll raise the rates next time i think they'll stay flat with us next time i think it'll be a decision that you see numbers like this gives favor to guys like you to say now pump the brakes now here's a question what's the likelihood you think you'll lower the rates next time um not great because the jobs report has happened now and the meeting is on the 28th 29th of october and we don't have any major reports coming out so unless someone like an auto industry has three big companies make layoff reports in the month of october he doesn't have the data that would push him to lower it he only has you know you know people like me pushing you know um hard and dr j strategy pushing hard you know on this side of it there's not a hard time no no but there's no data the next jobs report doesn't come out for october till like november 4th give you a little uh so pat that's the answer i don't think i think he could keeps flat he'll be forced to but i don't think he can go down something called the cme fed watch that agrees with basically what you're saying they're basically saying the next time that there's a fed meeting the the odds are if you look at kalshi as well they're gonna skip an increase in october so keep things stable and then in december there's a 60% probability of a potential rate hike so brace for impact winter is coming just shout out to vinny rates may go up by the end of the year again again they may go up that's what they're saying 60% chance in december 60% in december okay we'll see we'll see what's gonna happen next story here adam really wanted to cover this story it's a big story it's a top story everybody's talking about this and so and that is what happened with the flight the Dubai flight okay so flight Dubai flight passenger details treating wounded pilot after tying up suspect you have a video on this do you have anything to show people with this because here's what we're learning about the flight Dubai co-pilot who allegedly stabbed the captain and tried to crash the plane let me read this to you one day after flight Dubai co-pilot I met a violent attempt to crash the passenger aircraft and was subdued by passengers and other crew members questions about his identity and mode of continuous world Thursday by the way this is 14,000 feet vinny said knows dive 30 seconds not sure yeah it's this is this the clip okay can you show what happens so the people realize it is this showing pretty much what the flight was dropping it's going down down that 14,000 and then takes a a right turn and then it comes back up is this the CNN well there's a there's a pilot that's saying it's insane you know how when I say this is the pilot this is the pilot saying that this is almost impossible go for it just coming into the 500 knots here so some of the numbers that we're seeing from the reporting initially are okay here the close can you guys they don't have you okay because if you're just sitting that rabbit with your craft would have disintegrated completely so the numbers will change and get further and that's interesting because that the the those I mean as you point out those are only the numbers that we have right now but interesting that you said that that could have caused it to break apart and that maybe some of those are a little higher than actually happened we do know there was damage on the rudder right from whatever the speeds actually will turn out to be and portions of it apparently tore away during flight now obviously with serious damage to the rudder a plane is going to crash so when you just look at what we know here how fortunate do you think it is that this plane was actually even able to safely land well when I saw the images of the aircraft on the ground with the rudder section torn out I immediately had a cold chill because the amount of damage that that would cause hydraulic systems electrical systems especially hydraulics once you start ripping apart electronic or sorry hydraulics you start to bleed electronic fuel hydraulic fuel the flight to Tel Aviv was approaching Israel when the co-pilot allegedly stabbed the flight captain and attempted to crash the aircraft Israeli prime minister bbs said the captain fought off the co-pilot long enough to unlock the cockpit door passengers then overpowered the co-pilot and two off duty pilots gained control and made an emergency landing in tabooxade Arabia there are 174 people aboard no passenger was seriously injured the pilot sustained stab wound and omani official confirmed to cbs news that the attacker was born in oman and holds omani citizenship the bb speculated incident look like a suicide attempt and the personnel information gathered during the questioning had led Israel to conclude that the co-pilot underwent Islamic radical indoctrination president Trump suggested the co-pilot may have been linked to Iran based on what I'm hearing Saudi Arabia said Thursday the co-pilot had been transferred to the UAE Adam thoughts on the story the story is crazy I mean are you kidding me and it and it hits very close to home because I was just in Tel Aviv and when I was in Tel Aviv they're like do you want to go to Dubai I was like I don't know if I don't have enough time but this story is straight out of a much I just happened yeah the pilots can be this story in Israel and Dubai is straight out of a movie straight out of Dubai and to me there's a couple different stories here number one it's a story of culture here you have a radicalism versus heroism you have some guide that somehow not a 25 years after 9/11 are you telling me the terrorists are not hijacking the plane they're in the cockpit now that's what's going on that's the world we're living in right now and then the second part of the story is heroism we can focus all day on the Islamist I'm I guarantee you shout out the famous two words Allah Akbar before he tried to take this plane down I'll get
to you that. But I want to focus on the heroism. First and foremost, this Indian captain, Smith, are you kidding me? Flying the plane, all of a sudden gets stabbed. Next thing you know, he's trying to fight for his life, opens the cockpit door. You picked the wrong plane, Allah Akbar, buddy. You picked a plane full of badass Israelis. Next thing you know, a plumber shows up, not a military guy, not a captain, a plumber straight out of don't mess with the Zohan shows up like scrappy cocoa, making things silky smooth, subdues the hijacker, whips him up, puts the cord around him from his headphones, ties him up, plane is plummeting, he saves the day. Next thing you know, they avoid another 9/11 style attack one week before October 7th. And then he shows up to BB Netanyahu's office, BB goes, how did you do this? He goes, yeah, watch TV show, it's called the plane crash investigations. This is how I learn from. Are you kidding me? Some plumber shows up, saves the day. Next thing you know, a dentist, don't call me not a doctor, a dentist bandages up the captain, saves his life, he's fighting for his life, this Indian captain, this story could have ended so much uglier, so much worse. We don't know the mode of yet. Well, I mean, we kind of know the mode. I'm being serious. Do we know the mode of? Well, I'll tell you this. I'll let you figure this out. One story is basically saying a radical, jihadist pilot took over the plane and wanted to Allah Akbar things. And then you have the media, basically saying, and alteration, you is, are there any passengers that said they hurt or saw anything? What I'm interested in is what did the 174 passengers say they saw? They say they heard anything. They didn't hear anything. Never passengers said they heard screaming and shouting from the cockpit while their craft was diving. One passenger's wife who was near the front, with their daughter reportedly heard her struggle just before the wounded captain came through the cockpit doorway. When passengers rushed through, they said they saw the captain badly injured and bleeding, lying near the cockpit entrance. A dentist on board said the captain was in real bad shape with heavy bleeding, especially from the head. The co-pilot near the controls, apparently trying to interfere with or damage the flight controls passenger Yanev Huyan. That's the plumber. Okay, said there was no pilot sitting normally in either seat when he entered. Passengers physically dragging the co-pilot out of the cockpit and restraining him in the cabin. Some accounts say they eventually tied him with corded headphones. Yeah. One passenger, Huyan, then jumped back into the cockpit, pulling the controls in an effort, a regular person jumps in and pulls it. Can I just explain something to you? These are all regular people. And I want to give a shout out to the Israelis out there. Every single Israeli has to go to the IDF, has to go to the military for two years, and then they go live their normal life. When you're walking around Israel, the plumber, he was in the military. The architect was in the military. The dentist was in the military. They are born and bred to deal with radical Islamists on an everyday basis. So the plumber, stay ready. You know, they say, uh, stay ready so you don't have to get ready. This guy picked the wrong frickin plane. Any other plane. This guy would have put the guy that stabbed him. We know that he's the citizen of Oman. And all we know, they have not released his name when they tied him up. His name, age photograph has not been released. I don't know what's going on. They're the people of Saudi and the people you're asking a question. You're asking you. He was just, he was just yelling one thing after they tied him up. You know what he was yelling? Kill me. Please kill me. Please. I want to die. Who did he say that? Who heard that? That's you. That's what the passengers were basically saying. Museyyef, who was the, um, the dentist, said he and another pastor then tied the suspects hands with the headphones. The suspects said fewer words other than he was from Oman and he told them, kill me. Kill me. Please. That's what they're dealing with. Yeah. One reports as a fellow pilot described him as having joined fly Dubai only about eight months earlier and being unusually religious, including frequent prayer and avoiding handshakes with women. Okay. That's, this is the kind of stuff I want to know. Uh, and that's from the Indian Express. Those details come from secondary reporting and have not been publicly come from by fly Dubai. Some reports a pro Palestinian from free Palestine material was find among his belongings, but that claim is not yet confirmed by UAE authorities. And so far investigators have not established an Iranian connection, which is what the president said or evidence that he was acting on behalf of a foreign government. Israeli security has reported lean toward him acting alone on stage. And after the plane landed, he received metal treatment. When he was detained, he was freak, subsequently transferred to Abu Dhabi UAE. So they got to find out the question is how, how quickly they're going to report on this? Vinnie, what are you? Can you guys hear me? No, I can hear you. Oh, nothing. I mean, it's, it's, it's a miracle. And Adam made a great point. It's like, if you're ready and you're always ready, you don't have to get ready. And the fact that what, like, think about this. First of all, what about security? How in God's name that this guy bring a knife? Everybody has to go through metal detectors. I don't care who you are. I don't know how they do it over there. Everybody has to get checked. Everybody has to go through screening to get on there. Not only did he bring a knife on there, but you understand how much you have to be fighting to get that guy off. And then to open the door, you have to open the doors. It's going down. And that's CNN simulator guy pays. And the majority of the time when this happens, they're all going to die. You're all going to die. Everybody's going down. So he fought. He got him out there. And he, like, you can't ask for, like, the scenario is almost 99% of time. They're going to all die. You know, it's crazy. Let me tell you, I interviewed Jacob Cox and yesterday. You guys know who he is? Yeah, of course. Jacob Cox and is the guy. This is the first. This is the first long form podcast he did. I can't wait for the audience. The AI guy that left anthropic and it was at Open AI for three years came in yesterday. We did a two and a half hour, two hour podcasts, which I can't wait for the audience to see. One of the questions I asked them because, you know, they're like, well, he's tied to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton and that new speak, which was an organization of commies and socialist. And he gives us answer about what that is. But the one part I said, you know, are you a climate change person? You know, you're young. So typically it's the end of the world, you know, all these things. He says, I'm not. He answers it himself. You'll see it. But the one thing he said, I said, some say, you know, if we don't build it, China will. Okay. He says, that's the wrong mentality. Look what he said. Look what he said. He says, Patrick, we know China has spies working at anthropic and open AI that if they wanted to, they can take that technology and ship it off to China. The way they do it is they send Chinese nationals to work at anthropic and open AI. And then they're reporting back to China. So in the middle of the interview, we go and we start searching to see how many Chinese nationals are at the higher level executives. And I ask him names, you know, who he thought you have to hear what he says his answers. Again, it comes out on Tuesday. But let me tell you what his answer was. This is the one part I'll reveal to the audience. He specifically said, I have a lot of friends that work at anthropic and they're going to be upset with me. He says, just like a foreign national cannot work for SpaceX, a Chinese national cannot work for SpaceX. But they can work for anthropic and they can work for what he called an open AI. So he says, I think as much as some of my friends are going to be not happy with me, I don't think Chinese nationals should work for anthropic and open AI. But here's what I'm going to. So the part where I'm going to with this pilot stuff is, I don't know what fly Dubai's, I don't know what some of these guys are doing. I mean, listen, man, if you're flying a plane, some people may be sitting there saying, I need to know who the pilot is. Of course. As a passenger, do you think we have the right to know who the pilots are? Yes. Do you think it needs to do you? Do you and I'm being honest with you? Like remember one time we got on a flight and October 7th happened. It was the next day. Do you remember that flight? I don't know if you remember this or not. We're going to on a flight. I think I think the moment I tell you, Vinny, you'll remember this. You're on the flight as well. We're going on a flight. The pilot has flown me quite a few times. I like this guy, late 20s early 30 year old Jewish guy, former IDF. He comes in and he is shook up. Like when I tell you, shook up, you can tell he hasn't slept at all. It's the next day. I know exactly. Do you remember this? It's the next day and I'm like, how you doing? He says, not good. I said, how you feeling right now? He says, the only thing on my mind is I want to go back to his room and fight for my country. So then I got on the flight and I'm like, oh shit, then I had to go find out who the copilot was. By the way, I love this guy. He's a great guy. I had to go and say, let me see who the copilot is because this guy is a little bit off. He's not in the right place. So then I want to met the copilot. I'm like, okay, at least this guy is going to be good. That's helping him out. The entire flight I was concerned because he was in a place naturally. You can't blame the guy where he's at. When I hear stories like this, part of it to me as a, as a passenger is going to be like, look, I need to know a report of who the pilot is before I get on the flight. Okay, here's who the pilots are. Boom, boom, boom. You know, like if you're going to, who's the Uber driver, this Uber driver? Yeah, here's the breakdown. Okay, great. Here's what I want to know. I think there needs to be a scoring something that passengers get for pilots. Maybe don't give me this full name. Maybe put John D, Larry J, you know, Mary X, whatever. So you don't give the whole last name, but I get something. As we're going through this direction, we need to kind of find out who are these people that are getting these types of jobs. And as they per
person that's flying and travels a lot, you know, a co-pilot does this? So now you're not even protected from a co-pilot and you mean to tell me you couldn't figure this part out as an institution and an organization? I mean, listen, we all make mistakes as business owners, but that's a pretty rough place to be. You're dealing with people's lives. This is literally, this story could very easily be 174 people were killed and a flight that crashed apparently and we know nothing. Nope. That's the way that's the story that should have happened. If the captain, thank God, wrestled out of the cockpit door, the hero, the people came, the guy learned to fly the plane from watching TV show. Yeah. Are you kidding me? These people should all be dead. They should all be doing Hell Marys and Baruch Hashem's right now. It's crazy. And I know Tom wants to say something. I'll say one last thing. This is the world we're living in right now, 25 years after 9/11. It's not terrorists, hijackers would take over the plane. It's the actual captain of the plane. Let me tell you though, you have to think like the enemy. I'm telling you, Jacob Cox and yesterday, give me a perspective about AI. Nobody else has given to me. Like I can't wait for the audience to see this because I went in. I'm like, this guy is possibly a socialist, NGO, you know, all this stuff. You're going to walk away saying you like this guy, sincere and by the way, you know what I asked him? Just to see, you know, where he's at. Remember the whole thing when the whistleblower, the parent whistleblower came and said, Sam Altman killed my son, the engineer, the engineer. You should see the answer he gave. This is not a guy that was a fan. So, so anyways, all I'm going to tie this to the, this is all I'm tying together with. I think, I think the part about where companies have to be watching carefully is foreign nationals, work for, working for a company that has actual direct impact to lives and direct impact to Intel, AI, certain technologies that could, that is a valid, valid threat that people are bringing up, especially if you're a foreign national from China, if you're foreign national from some of these countries that are coming to your working that we have to be careful with. You know, you know, like right now, one of the things that we have at our company that people have fun with is who worked here that was former CIA. You know, you know, that game that people play, okay? Who worked here that's with Mossad, right? And we know who that is, right? Okay. Who always comes here with Mossad agents and it's always got these people and you know, who is tied to this? People joke with it. Part of it, part of it is not a joke, by the way, just so you know, a part of it is not a joke. A part of it is you have to kind of find out what people are coming from. People are affiliated with the CIA have been here. Think so? I would say 95%. Wow. Say one more time. He says, do you think people who are dealing with CIA or Intel, do you think, let me tell you, if they started watching Reagan, 17 years before he ran for governor, Russia did it. You think these people are not, you don't think people have come and worked you to see what the true motive is. You can go report it back to certain course, your naive, but certain companies have to take it even beyond that. I don't know, as a pilot, as a, as a passenger, I would want to report on a pilot whatever flight I'm going to, I don't know if that report is even out there or not. When you fly private or when you fly public airplanes, either way, no matter what it is, it needs to be. Here you go. Private. Here's what the pilots are. How do you do that on a public plane? Are you going to leave the plane if you don't like what the, what the, what the, what the, no. Absolutely. Yeah. Hold on, give me an option. Yeah, give me an option. Absolutely. Give me the option. How about this 24, you know, they have those bands that you work on. I want to know for 24 hours. Did he sleep? Did you go to sleep? Yeah. Are you, you got into a huge fight with your wife? Yeah, I'm dealing with someone's life, dealing with someone's life. Uber, you can give ratings. 4.7, 5.0, whatever. How do you do that on pilots? I think the same thing needs to happen. Probably. All right, so let's go to the next story. Next story I'm going to get into is the story with very weird story folks. I don't even know how to read this to you, but this is the story of Cornell, rape story that came out with this young girl, and let me just kind of go through the timeline because it is a crazy story, right? It is a crazy story, but apparently this girl was snored and ketamine off a guy's dangling. And I know that kind of sounds weird. It's not like maybe everybody does that, and I haven't been exposed to others, but apparently she was snored and ketamine off, uh, anyway, let me kind of go through it. Timeline. And upstate New York prosecutor has reopened an investigation into claims of a former Cornell student was drugged and raped by seven men by the, uh, how do you pronounce that? Chi-fi fraternity? Chi-fi. Chi-fi. Your fraternity house in 2024, here's the timeline. August 2022, Jane Doe begins her freshman year at Cornell in Ethic on New York, October 18th, beautiful day, 2024, which I'm saying to date, I'm born on that day, I'm not saying it's a beautiful day because the incident that happened here, someone overdoses on ketamine at the Chi-fi house per a redacted Cornell report next day. Jane Doe alleged she was drugged and gang raped by seven men at this party investigation documents she, uh, says she arrived already intoxicated. She says she kept drinking there and accepted drugs before agreeing to a threesome and losing consciousness. Next day, a fraternity member alleges members messages that, uh, the, the Chi-fi Snapchat group claiming there was a, there was free sex upstairs. Okay, here we go, October 23rd. She texted a man who invited her, male number one, my reputation is destroyed and I'm utterly ashamed. She texted, this is documented. October 30th texting male number one after being uninvited to Chi-fi event, y'all aren't my friends, y'all are covering your asses. Okay, November 7th, 2024, male number one says he fears being labeled an assultor she replies, I haven't said anything and I know there are rumors I was gangbanged, November 8th, 2024. She texts, I think I'm done talking to you, I know you lied, then files a police report that Cornell suspends the chapter in several students six days later, November 14th. She gives a formal statement to the campus who refer it to direct district attorney prosecutor decline to charge 12 days later, November 26th, interim president Michael Kotlykov cites serious and deeply disturbing allegations of drug abuse and sexual violence at the Chi-fi fraternity house, January 14th, 2025. Now opens a title 9 or title 11 investigation to her formal complaint, February 6th, 2025. Kotlykov and provost Kavita Bell launch a presidential task force on campus sexual assault, May 2nd to May 29th, 2025. They hold at least 12 hearings, 50 interviews, 32 witnesses, Jane Doe, I felt like bait, I felt like lions around me. November 4th, 2025, a Cornell survey finds 35% of undergrad women and 8% of men report non-consensual sexual contact involving force or incapacitation. September 16th, 2026, this is a week ago, two weeks ago. She sues Cornell, Chi-fi, her sorority and seven accused men. One week later, September 21st, Cornell daily editorializes, Cornell has failed to protect its students, September 27th, DA Matthew Van Halton, reopens the case, but says her sworn statements described her participation in drug use and sexual contact as voluntary, conscious, inconsensual, then lawyers for Scott Krasimir and Scott Norris, deny involvement. Ethika police say the case was never reopened to them, Cornell says it occurred on Cornell jurisdiction. September 29th, your Huckle gets involved, demands an outside investigation in Cornell agrees. Van Halton defends the 2024 decision while calling the allegations morally disturbing. The full statement shows Jane Doe said it felt like coercion and attorney for Gillo Lopez also denies the allegation and then yesterday, Huckle appoints ready? Leticia James. Oh my god. He leticia James. He's still on the jail. He leticia James. Yeah. She should have seen the case as undercut my faith and the public's faith in the DA. James says she is ready to lead a process New Yorkers can trust Vinnie. Okay. So if you're violently gang raped over and over and over during the course of a night, you're going to wait three weeks before you're calling the campus police. I'm sorry guys. I don't believe it. And then the way the text, the conversations with the friends, everything that happened in those three weeks, especially when her own messages initially say that nothing illegal happened and she enjoyed part of it. Okay. And by the way, just I want to put this out there. I genuinely feel bad for the whole situation is horrible, but you put yourself in that dangerous situation. Okay. That doesn't give anybody the right to sexually assault you, but you can't also like remove personal responsibility from your actions because and then blame everybody afterwards. And I saw this video yesterday, but it made a great point. This girl said, I get I get drunk and get into a car accident. It's 100% my fault. But if I get drunk and I sleep with someone and I regret it in the morning, I can blame him. It doesn't make any sense. And what about the guys? You said there was a counselor. The guys, some of the guys were drunker than she was. So if your argument is that being drunk means somebody cannot consent and that standard has to go across the board. So either like standard matters for everybody or means nothing because the guys right now keep it like, well, I didn't consent. I was drunk. I don't know what the hell was going on. And the fact that this is the main thing I take away from this story is her upbringing. Who are this girl's parents? Okay. Were they together? Were they divorced? What kind of morals and values are you teaching this kid? Because by her own account, she was a virgin in high school. Okay. And she was a virgin.
in a vacuum, okay? Like, I would tell my daughter or son the same thing. Protect yourself, protect your reputation, don't get freaking wasted. By the way, you don't go from that to sniffing ketamine off of somebody's penis in one year. That doesn't, I don't care, okay? Your choices matter and pretending they don't is doing like young people no favor. So people can be harsh, I call it being an adult, okay? If these men rape their, prove it in court, prosecute them. If they didn't, then guess what? These guys should be able to do a counter-suit and go after her and go after the school if the school's gonna go after 'em, period. That's my take. - Yeah, and they found a few other text messages of what she said. She said she was super colluded in the same exchange she wrote that none of the sexual stuff was illegal in the text. She said after she was the incident. She also said she liked being with that man and another man and later suggested that they could smoke together again, but without the extra five billion men and ketamine. So only her ended two other men. And then she said, bro, everyone knows what happened was ruining my life temporarily and that all she could do was sleep and cry all day. And she said in a text again, the woman will always get the shorter end of the stick. Y'all aren't friends, y'all are covering your asses. Let's be clear that 90% of what happened that night was not consensual. Then she says that on November 3rd, okay? And another message cited in the investigation that she felt like a sex doll worker. Very weird. So Tom, where are you at with this? - So I think the court of public opinion is out on her and we'll leave it be. I hope she gets counseling. And I hope that if there was crimes committed that they're properly prosecuted. But let me say something about the boys. You are an idiot. It is poor judgment. If you're gonna get involved in a sexual act like that, you're putting yourself in the position to be in the headline with her, even if she is completely making things up, the same way things happen with Duke LaCrosse. If you were in their cheering with your $20 bills, when you thought it was a stripper coming into Duke LaCrosse, you put yourself in the opportunity to have your name in a headline and a campus report and a police report because she makes an accusation. If you're not there, your name can't be there. So I think the boys were poor judgment and idiots for being there in the first place. You're putting yourself in a horrible situation because look what happens. Things can happen maybe that were perfectly legal, perfectly consenting between people, even though people were drunk and everything. Okay, that may be legal consent, but your name's still in the headlines. Idiot, do you want your name in the headlines? You do want to finish college. And I'll say something about Cornell. Cornell, in my opinion, is a horrible place. I have talked in the last year and I knew about this because this case is going back a couple of years to spend headlines. People, I was talking to two separate sets of parents about veterinary school. And they said, "You know, I think you see Davis "up by Sacramento's number one and Cornell's number two." And I said, "You're right, it is, "but I wouldn't send my kid to Cornell." Why? Because once upon a time, one of my daughters went into study veterinarian and I studied Cornell, but then I read about Cornell. The Cornell campus, I do not believe, is properly controlled and properly administered. You're saying this. This is your opinion. My opinion, two years ago, talking to a family about-- Wow, what do you say that? They're saying that to you? No, I'm saying if-- Why, why are you saying that, be specific? I was specifically. I read about this case two years ago. This has been going on two years. And I read about it and I also read associated things that the fraternity culture that is at Cornell is quote unquote out of control and not administered-- Let me get to straight. Because of this story, you discourage your girls from going to Cornell. I discouraged two other parents that had girls talking about vet school because Brooke, at one point, went to go to vet school, these people saw that you see Davis was number one. Cornell was number two. And I said, just go to Florida. Florida's top five vet school and you can be bright futures. And one of them is a family from Florida. And so it won't cost you anything. So I have this is my opinion based on what I read. So with Cornell, don't go sending me a letter with 12 names at the top. This is my opinion on the things with your name on it and your logo that are out there. The allegations are your fraternity groups. OK, so let me out of control. Let me ask you this. You don't administer it and you're not protecting your students. Go a little bit deeper. So what should they do? So what role does Cornell play here? What should they do? Unprevent this? Not-- it's already been done. What could they have done to prevent this? Well, I'll tell you, the whole fraternity system is rife and haisings where we read every year would we read about haisings in a fraternity system where colleges largely turn a blind eye to it. So number one, I'll give you a great example. Rice got rid of fraternities in the '50s because they thought that they excluded people, that kids fell left out. And so they encourage kids to be part of the residential college system where every kid is assigned to a residential college at Rice, and they have their own traditions and things so they bring natural inclusion, not fake DEI inclusion, natural inclusion where no freshmen are left out. Every one of you is part of a residential college. The fraternity system creates the us and them and the hazing that goes on the fraternity system is bad. And I think colleges like Cornell need to absolutely think, is it time to shut down the fraternity system and create alternative housing for kids to bring non fake inclusion? And you know what I mean by fake inclusion, Pat? - Yeah, it's very interesting, the angle you're taking, Tom. It's very interesting because so you're going to, one thing you can do as universities is get rid of fraternities, okay? Sororities, any of that stuff that you have because of what happens there. - And police behavior better. Now some will say that's part of the college experience like folks who went to Florida State or Arizona State or give me some of those Santa Barbara, UC Santa Barbara. These are some party types of schools. Hey, you're boring, Tom. You don't know what you're talking about. We want to go there for that exact reason. - I'm sorry. I don't want my son, if I had a son to go to Cornell and have an STD in his name in the newspaper, be part of the college experience. - No, that's valid, but some people will say that is part of the college experience. So parents, you're rolling a dice. - I totally get that. I'm trying to say here, one who accepted me, where am I smart enough to get into? What are my options? Number two, parents learning more. So right now, Tom, as a parent, what role should parents play if their kid is about to go into college? What should we be doing? - If you're not visiting colleges and reading everything you can about the college and you're just thinking about the college as a merit badge, you're making a mistake. This is why places like Hillsdale are growing and growing for the right reasons because they're teaching kids to think not to be indoctrinated and look at the culture of behavior that also happens. - So true. I will tell you a story, and I don't know how much of this story about this entire time I'm thinking about how much of it I want to give away. But I'm in the army and the guys in the army, there was a girl, she had a nickname. I remember her nickname. You want me to tell you her nickname? - What was the nickname? - Jawbone. - Okay. - I don't know that one. - That was her nickname. - Jawbone. - Jawbone. - Jawbone. And in the male bathroom in the barracks, there were things written all over the place. And she would come in and write such and such a night in this room, everybody come. - What? - Okay, I'm telling you. So me and my two guys that we hung out with, he'd come to me and say, "Hey man, you saw that again." I said, "Yeah," said, "Dude, whatever we're doing, we're going to Nashville that night." We'd go to Nashville that night to be away from the barracks. - Smart. - To just be away. We'd come back on Monday and guess what they would say. Sergeant would come in on Saturday, such and such happen. 14 soldiers are being called on to be investigated on what happened at night. - Weird. - 'Cause she doesn't remember anything. And one of the benefits, I had a drill sergeant that told me from the beginning. Listen, remember a few rules in the army. 15 will give you 20. - Yep. - And you know what that is. - Yep. - 15 will give you 20. - What does that mean? - Okay, now what a 15 year old will give you 20 years. - A girl with a fake ID at a local place. - He said, "Don't even trust fake IDs." - So even fake IDs. In the middle of it, you ask a girl for a fake ID. Don't even trust the fake IDs. Then, never be in barracks alone with a girl. Okay, in the army. Because all they're gonna say is what. - Of course. - Here's what happened. - By the way, these are the types of conversations that I think fathers need to have with their sons and mothers need to have with their sons. Because sometimes it's kinda like, yeah, it's my boy. You know, that's cool. But you gotta, you're setting them up for failure by not having these types of conversations. And you know, you made a good point. Like, how was she raised? I don't know how she was raised. We don't know about her parents. We don't know what happened to you. We don't know what the experience was. By the way, it could have very likely been that it was good parents. And she just chose to be dumb because one day she chose to drink and be stupid. And now, this is on her timeline for the rest of her life. And so far, they've protected her name. But guess who knows who she is? Those seven guys and all the other people from the Chi Phi, whatever, a fraternity they're talking about. Adam, your thoughts. You had the full college experience yourself. So let's see what you're wearing. Look, I have a different take than everybody here. I appreciate what Tom had to say about these boys being idiots. I do have some thoughts on the fraternity system. But let me start with what the number one thing is on this situation. It all comes down to personal responsibility and personal choices. Because she's not just doing any old little drug here. How familiar are you with ketamine and what it does? Because that's not like, oh, she's just doing drugs. Ketamine is a whole different level of drug. And the reason I know this is one of my best friends is first crowd.
Ketamine and I think he does it a little too much and it's a little too over the top. Let me explain. Antidepressant. It's supposed to be treated as an antidepressant, okay? But what it does, Ketamine, if you ever heard of the concept of a K-hole, let me explain this to you. If you do enough of it, not only will it treat your depression, it'll make you blast off to a different planet and it affects the brain so hardcore that it changes your perception of reality and you enter a dream light hallucinogenic state. And you know what? Is even more absurd about this drug? It looks exactly like cocaine. Take a look at what Ketamine looks like. Here's a picture on your screen. Do you see it? Does that not look exactly like cocaine? And it even looks like rails or lines. So let me explain something to you. I've been at a party in South Beach. When there's cocaine going around, I mean, welcome to South Beach. It's one guy thought that he was doing a bump of cocaine, boom, blast off. He could not move for six hours. He was in a K-hole. He did not know what he was doing. He did not know where he was. We're like, "Hey, it was our friend coming with us." They're like, "He's going to be a while. Thank God he's okay." But my whole concept of personal responsibility and personal choices, if this girl chose to inhale what she thought was a drug, whether she thought it was cocaine or knew that it was K-Ketamine, she willingly entered the third realm. Now she made that decision. So it's on her at the same time. If you're a dude and you're at a fraternity and you see one, two, three, four guys doing this to a girl, at what point as you as a man say, "Bro, what are you doing?" This girl's clearly messed up. Oh, no, no, she wanted to do it, maybe with him, now with all seven of you. So to me, there's personal responsibility on both ends. On her, not to do drugs, and on these idiots, not to end up in a rape case, but at the end of the day, this situation, let's just call it what it is. She's one of those girls that went in there and did what she did. You can't at the end of it get embarrassed because everybody's talking about you and say, because then you're going to ruin and destroy other people's lives. Tom's right, those guys were more at him. You don't, five guys in a room, apparently they were texting on some social media apps and, "Yo, come through. This is happening." All stupid decisions, but that word "rape" is a whole different ball game. Because now she's like, "Oh, wait a minute. I'm embarrassed." You know what? Somebody's like, "Let me be very specific." If she did a good amount of Ketamine, I don't even think she knows what planet she was on during that rape. But she might have known that she was there to see a guy. I'm just being straight up. Yeah. I understand. If she did a good amount of Ketamine, buddy, she wasn't on this planet during that time. I understand that. But do you think I need you to understand that? I understand that. But are other guys coming in going, "Hey, there's not a Ketamine checker. Hey, where's she at on the Ketamine thing? They don't know. They're just hearing, "Hey, come on in and have something." Let me tell you something. What are you saying? What I'm saying is that I think she was there. She wanted to hook up. She was down. I don't know what happened because at the end of the night, because her story is changing. But what I'm saying is, if you're there, Adam, if I show up to a strip club and I see strippers, I can't be like, "Oh, my God. I need you to understand something, buddy." She wanted to hook up a guy. I need you to understand that. Multiple guys. She said it. But I need you to understand one specific thing. If she was in a K-hole, how would you know the guy you know? If you're high, I don't know if she's in a K-hole. Back up a second. If a girl is really, really, really, really, really drunk and you're with her, and do you know that she's really, really, absolutely bingo. Go for girls in a K-hole, that's like 10x drunk. So hear me out. Okay. If this girl is literally like, "Oh, that's all," if she's passed out, Adam, that's my point. 100% different story. Is that if she was fully in a K-hole, she wasn't like, "Whoa, let's go, guys." It's not cocaine. Cocaine. She's going crazy. Let's have fun. If it was Academy, and it was a K-hole, there's a very good chance that she was like this. Well, that's what I'm saying is that she's safe at, and the story that she says she was there. Buddy, she don't remember, dog. What don't you get? The only person of what happened to me was illegal. But she said that a few weeks after that. I think, again, I haven't followed this case to just say this one thing. I could see a scenario where the first guy that she was with and came to be was actually, he'll get off, meaning he's innocent. But if these other guys who showed up in the room, while she's caged out, they're going to pay the price. They might be in some big, big trouble. I don't know the details beyond that. If the first guy let them in, someone that is on K and in a K-hole, they are not in a awareness state. This is the whole situation here, is like what she showed up. She wanted to be there, but then she did this drug and then she didn't know where she was. Tom. It's a very complicated situation. We're talking about. We're very careful. We're talking about judgment of men. We're talking about K-holes, appropriately thing where people may be. But I'll tell you here, three different sources I just found pointed out and this was the stuff I read it. I recognized one, the Cornell Sun is one of the things I read. It says, Cornell arguably has the most troubled Greek system in the Ivy League. The negative side is a long hazing and safety record, sophomore died in 2011. Another one died in 2019, 2014. Seven fraternities were suspended over hazing allegations. In February, Deltify was permanently suspended, then reduced to five years according to these stories. The public hazing log is now made public, so parents and prospective students can see it, but it has become longer and worse when you look at the years 24, 25, 25, 26. It's basically, there you have it. There you have it. What can parents do? Read stuff like this and say to yourself, am I sending my daughter to Cornell? This conversation, I love this conversation on what happened. Because you had a different lens, you had a very different lens and we have to be ready for it. We have to be ready for it. And for me, with my boys, my kids, you have to be also careful what not to brag about with your boys for them to be like, that's what I'm going to do to be a hero. And we're kind of having a conversation this morning when Anthony asked you a question and we're going back and forth. And I'm like, I don't know, if we got to balance some of these conversations, that's why I'm not part of this camp. There's a reason why Bible wanted you, the Bible wanted us to save ourselves before. There's a reason. There's a reason. Not that we did it. I failed miserably, but there's a reason for it. You know how they say, you know, in my early, the whole thing that father some go through three stages. You idolize them, then you demonize them, then you humanize them, and then you say, my dad knew everything. And my dad is a lot smarter. He's getting smarter lately. My dad's getting smarter lately. No, no, it's been the same guy. You know, my mom was right all along, you know, my mom was right all along, takes you a while to go through it. Man, if you can really be coachable for some of these seasons, Ben Affleck said something the other day in a video I saw. He says, you know, I'm sitting with my son and I'm giving him advice, my kids, I'm giving him advice about life. And then it's as a listen, I've been through some things in life. Here's what you should do. That you want us to take advice from you? You? Yeah, trust me. I have the experience. Hello, I have this joking about it, but it's like your parents are kind of like, is this the one? Yeah. When I was a boy at 14 years old, my father was so ignorant. I could hardly stand to have the man around. But when I got to 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned it's right here. March 20th. Is that actually a March 20th? It's a March 20th quote. Man, I got it. One next story. Let's get to the next one. Good find guys in the back. Okay. Next story I want to get to is another weird one, but let's skip this weird one. I'm going to go to another one. So this actress, okay, is given a speech. We're not going to stay on this story a lot of it a lot because we're not going to talk about it. It's not about rap, but we're talking about rap hurts. And so this lady. We are against us. Yeah, we are against these types of mentality. She says she wishes her son was gay. It's one of her friends had a son that was gay and he says what's better than having a gay son, right? I just want you to watch this speech and tell me if it motivates any one of you. Go for it. Always wanted a gay son. I did. Listen to the uplaying one. I love that relationship between gay sons and their mothers. I want to be the picket sign holding mom who would beat this shit out of somebody for her kid. She's reading. I mean, let's just admit it. The sons are the best, right? I have photographs of my son in high heels, in full drag. He knows every word to every musical ever written. His fairy godfather, Aaron Walton, is here with us tonight. I mean, truly, I thought I had this fucking thing locked up. But no. No. He's the only straight guy in his entire musical theater company. What a loser. So when Marsha called me about 10 years ago from her closet, I kid you not. She was in her closet, to tell me that her son had come out to her as gay. All I said was, oh my god, you are so fucking lucky. Oh my god. No. Look at his face. And about a week later, I was at Marsha's house for dinner when an Amazon packet page was delivered for her son. And inside, I'm not kidding you, was a pair of thigh-high red patent leather boots, like kinky boots.
And I thought, oh, come on, now she is just showing off, right? >> Are you kidding me? >> I'm speech like this. >> Besides what she's saying, do you hear the applause, like Holly, when they say Holly weird, do you understand, your child is not a trophy for your political activism, social circle? I mean, Pat, that's the cool thing, I know we're going to play the Bill Martin in a minute, but whatever happened to your parents just wanting you to grow up healthy and happy, successful, strong, like gay, and she's upset that she have any kids, that she actually have kids. >> I don't even mean her son, her son's not gonna be straight. >> He's straight, so buddy, and you're her's Adam, you're her son, and you're listening to this. How does that make you feel that your mom is not happy that you're not some flame or that's jumping around, but no Adam, in the streets of West Hollywood, bro, I live there. They would shut that, you couldn't drive in the Hollywood because there was butt naked men outside. I'm talking about Sodom and Gomorrah stuff, butt naked going on set up crucifixes, you want to talk about evil, you want to talk about demonic type behavior, Pat? In the streets of LA, and it was totally fine. Little kids, parents, straight parents, bringing their kids, and I would see, I felt so bad, little kids looking at butt naked men, flashing them in front of their faces, okay, and this is Hollywood, bro, Hollywood preaches acceptance, but acceptance has to work both ways, okay? What are we talking about? If that's not the weirdest thing you've seen all month, I don't know what is. It's disgusting. How about your son? >> I'm a normal son. >> I don't know where to start, I'm just kind of stunned, but in a way I'm not stunned because she is fully indoctrinated, she's fully in the liberal crowd, and she's fully out there, you know, she's gone to the point of faking it, to the point, it looks like she really believes what she's saying. >> Oh yeah. >> And that is the end point of full indoctrination is advocacy. You suddenly become an advocate for what you're indoctrinated in. So in other words, you follow that Pat, that you go down the indoctrination, and so in other words, you're indoctrinated to the point that you're not just going to be a suicide bomber, you're actually recruiting people, not because you're trying to get a check mark. You're actually recruiting people because you now believe it at the core of your being. You've been so diluted. The Bible says that they were given over to their desires, and the Lord says that this is not the natural inclination of our heart. This is not our natural orientation as people. It's not. And people can say it is, whether it isn't, but when you go all the way over to indoctrination, you've given your heart over to this level of evil. People that are advocates for abortion, they don't just think it's the right thing, let the woman have a choice. No, they're all the way over the waterfall and advocation for the killing. You can't be there. But I don't think a lot of people, Pat, really believe like she does. I think there's fakery in the liberal area. Can we play and Vinnie has it up here? What Bill Mar said, this is just one sentence, two sentences, what he said. When he did his, remember when he pointed out, six percent of this generation, 12 percent of this generation, 10 percent of this generation? It's two minutes. I mean, we remember watching this. No, I had him cue it to one point. But it involves children. The answer can't always be that anyone from a marginalized community is automatically right. Trump card might drop end of discussion. Because we're literally experimenting on children. Maybe that's why Sweden and Finland have stopped giving puberty blockers to kids. Because we just don't know much about the long-term effects. So the common sense should tell you that when you reverse the course of raging hormones, there's going to be a lot of time point here. We do know. Okay, we can pause it. We remember this. We've seen this. But go ahead, Tom. He made a comment where he says, and recently I'm at cocktail parties with Angelinos saying it's somehow fashionable that your child is trained like that was a point that he made. Yeah. They missed the time. Yeah. So Adam thoughts. I mean, this is the perfect case for virtual signaling that I've ever heard in my life. You signaling as it's basically saying, I'm with you. Let me prove it. Let me tell you what a loser the son is, Pat. She tried her best to make him gay. I mean, what a disappointment this kid. She put him in high heels. She dressed him up in drag. He's doing Broadway shows. He's wearing skirts and still despite all that, he still likes women. Being believable, his name is Milo, and I heard that one day he wants to get married and have kids. What a loser. Your mother is virtue signaling to the rest of Hollywood that what a disappointment you are because you're not gay Milo Milo. Do your best to make your mother proud and be gay. Maybe even be trans and cut it off because that's what Hollywood is at this point. And if you don't show up with like a, you know how they have those, you know how they have those dogs in your purse, you don't show up with a gay son, and you're not in the end crowd. And here's my thing. She's reading it, Pat. What a failure. She's reading a telepomter. That buddy, if you have something to say and it's heartfelt, say it. She's reading as if she was instructed like, hey, that's the least of our words whether she read it or felt it. No, the words that you came out of the mouth of the most, no, no, no, to me, you know what that means, Adam. I, she's going to just said, I wish I had a gay son and just go up. She's reading it as a script, as an actress. Do you think, do you think, do you think she fully believes that or do you think she's trying to be funny a little? No, no, no, no. She absolutely believes it. And if you want. By the way, her son is apparently on a Disney show, got millions of followers. He's somebody. He's doing good for himself. Disney evolved. He loves his mom. And, you know, he, so to me, look, to each his own, do your thing truly to each his own. It's not in my business what you choose to do as an adult and, and you live your life. But when it comes down to kids, I had the, Bob a, a, a, a, a, a, the former CEO of Disney. He was on the podcast last week. Can you pull up that chart that I showed to him? The chart about the amount of LGBTQ, Q characters, you know, once the first time in Disney that a character said I'm gay, 2019, up until 2019, no character in Disney movies has ever said their gay. Never. But I want you to watch us here. Who was the first? The blue is LGBTQ, inclusive Disney films. Look at the spike. And by the way, orange is valuation and blue is characters. What is the highest valuation of Disney? Highs valuation was 2020. Okay. What? What happens in 2021? It's dropped. No, no, no. We look at 2021. What spikes? LGBTQ characters. What happens to the stock? It goes by. It's a direct correlation. So I said, what happened here? What's the story here? And to summarize, it's worth watching the interview, especially for the parents that you're, I asked them about this thing. And he says, he wasn't with it at first. He said, look, we got kids and it says eventually it was kind of course and forced me to take in a position because typically whatever movies you do, they've already been budgeted and built four years previous today. You know how we always hear about Kathleen Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy, Kathleen Kennedy? I don't know that name we hear about. You know who didn't hire Kathleen Kennedy? Disney never hired Kathleen Kennedy. You know who hired Kathleen Kennedy? You actually know this? She's not part of Bob Iger's camp. So a lot of time we would be able to blame it on Bob Iger. Do you know where she comes from? Yeah, we talked about it. We talked about it. So when they bought Star Wars in 2012-ish, she was hired by George Lucas. So Kathleen Kennedy came from the Star Wars franchise and she came with the deal and I think her contract just is not going to get renewed or whatever this year or last year, something like that. But you just have to know like, dude, you wonder why Disney franchise went from what it was to now. Parents are like, knock this shit off. Look what happened two years later to the characters. Look what they're at now in 2024, 2025. They dropped off. But to see a business person watching this and Bob Iger put four board members in, those were Michael Eisner's people that he had and they replaced them, put his own people. And it's kind of like you want Supreme Court that you have any. So he put his own four in. You could do that as a new seal. That's his job to put it in there. And then a couple of other guys that would come pro-wad, I don't know, what was that guy's name? Something. Pro-man? Ica. These were a couple billionaires that were sitting on the board and they got out, they didn't get ousted. They lost the influence, Bob Iger kept controlling, they're still doing what they're doing and the new guy that came in, Josh Diomaro, if you go to pushing this to kids, parents will get sick of it. And one of the reasons, if there's anything that causes me to think that Republicans are going to win in 2028 is because Democrats haven't learned that even Democrat parents don't want boys competing in women's sports, they haven't learned that even Democratic parents who are pro-choice, who are pro-choice, who want some of these entitlement programs for people. Even they don't support these LGBT indoctrination and puberty, blah, they don't support that. So until Democrats go back to common sense on this topic, they're going to keep losing their five to 10% of Democrats that they've had in a while, that they've had for a while. I think it's a double done move, they don't get it. Can I give a disclaimer? Nobody, it sounds like we're going really hard on the LGBT community. None of us have a problem with gay people. I have gay friends. I used to tell stories about when you were in the army to go to gay clubs. None of us have problem with gay is zero.
in that regard, where it gets to become an issue is when you start to trans the kids, and you start messing with the kids. And here's an example where Disney tried to basically indoctrinate the youth through movie characters and movies and doing all this and they went woke and they went broke just like Bud Light and just like Nike. And that's where you draw the line of the sand when families, 'cause you said this is an ultimate of my point, who is Disney's customer? It's the parents, not just the kids, right? Yeah, can I do a question? No, Pat, really, really fast. Do you guys think in 2020, if a Democrat comes in the power, this type of stuff is gonna keep happening? It won't come back, by the way. I hope so, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I hope they campaign on it. Yeah. I truly do. Like even when I had governor Wes Moore here, and I asked him the question, is my son would never be gay, but he wouldn't go all to say that this is too much. He wouldn't do it, because he knows. So, they're all worried about where the money and the influence is gonna come, but I hope they continue the same play. So, keep doing it, because common sense is gonna go a very different direction. Okay, heating oil, let's tell the story, because this is truly concerning a lot of different people, especially in the northeast of what could happen. A lot of people talk about these, the gas prices, but heating oil bill as expected to jump. Ready? 31.3% this winter, with Northeast households averaging nearly $2,300. Averaging, $2,300. So, let's kind of go through this. Eating all households will pay an average of $2,300 between mid-November and mid-March, a 31.3% increase from last winter, the National Energy Assistant Director Association projected nearly 4.8 million US homes. Ready? 4.8 million US homes. Homes. How many people live per home? Two, four, five. 4.8 million US homes using heating oil, about 82% in the Northeast. The US war with Iran that began at the end of February, disrupt the shipping through the strait, Brent crude, the source of nearly all US heating oil, sat at 106 a barrel in mid-September, up more than 30% from previous to when the war began. While the war may be thousands of miles away, families will feel it when the heating oil truck pulls into their driveways at any ADA executive director, Mark Wolf, President Trump, rejected Iran's plan to reopen the strait and senators from both parties have asked them to release emergency heating oil, the American gas association projected. Gas households will pay about 14% less than last winter averaging 4.97 versus 7.94 for electric space heating would record dry gas production, expect them 2026. Any ADA forecast overall, winter heating costs rise more than 8.7% into a national average of 1030 top thoughts on this. So let's go take a look at the chart. I just sent the guys to chart right here. Click on one year, perfect, one year. Take a look at this, Pat. If you go down to February at the end of last winter, Vinnie, $2.47, $2.38. You see that? Multiply that times two, 480. Go look at where we are right now. We're at 436, you know what this means? It's going to be 2x. There it is, Pat. It's about to be 2x. At $4.80, it's exactly 2x last winter. So those people are going to have double the price of heating oil, one winter to the next. That's not sustainable. And earlier today, right after the jobs report, President Trump called on Europe to release their surplus stocks of diesel because he's trying to bring more diesel into the market to help. That's what's going on. So we need a reversal. But Pat, I don't think we can get it. It takes about, say, 75 days to turn the price based on something. What do you think you won't get it? I don't think we're going to get a decrease unless it's hard official. It takes 75 days. 75 days today is what? November and October November is 60 days. And then, you know, that's December 10th. Here comes winter. You know, you're going to see how cold it is in just watching playoff games. Baseball, it's going to be down into the 50s. That's got to remind me of the time. Time for that. So I saw this coming. And I'm really, I'm really heavy about it because this is real. Oh, this is real because this is going to really impact the consumer. 2x. 2x, that's real cost that we're talking about. And so, Tom, when this happens, you know, to some, what percentage of these 4.8 million households do you think it will impact directly? Not, of course, it's 100% of them. But which one did I'm going to be like, turn off the heater? You know, let's do this. We're more close. What percentage do you think can even financially afford this increase? Probably only about 60% because a lot of people are on natural gas and newer home communities. And the heating oil is in some of the older communities and older homes. So, you know, I'm going to say, there's probably a full third, that's going to be my guess. A full third of the customers in the Northeast have limited budgets and can't take that hit. So, many thoughts on this. I'm going back to it. So, Tom, this is all coming from what? Why the drastic increase? Refining cost and the cost of barrel of oil. Cost of barrel oil is about 60% of the increasing gasoline. The other is the increase in refining cost, also known as three, two, one, crack spread. Those two things are there. We've closed refineries in California. We close refinery on the Gulf Coast. We have not built new refineries or refinery capacity. So, the refining is up. The cost to refine is up because of shortage of factories to refine it. But, then, $99, I think today-- It's a barrel. I think it's $99, I can do it. So, Tom, what are you just saying? It's supply and demand? So, I think-- No, no, it's a-- Yes, it's supply of oil, but it's also supply of refining. And it's going to take a while to turn this. Because even if you brought the price of oil down, you're only going to get about 60% of the increase in cost for gasoline diesel down. So, is it safe to say the short term pain for the long term game? It's not going to be a short term pain time. This is going to take a long time. This is going to be a long term pain because they have to build it-- No, they have to-- I have hope that there's some artificial means to do it. It doesn't appear that the natural market forces are going to be able to turn the corner on this until maybe the second half of the winter. And it's not going to go down to where it was last January. Adam. Well, being that I'm from Miami, I've never had to worry about a heating bill. So, this is not something I'm familiar with. I will say that winter is coming for all you people out there. And you might want to get a nice jacket like the one Vinny's wearing to stay warm. But can we touch on the story that is right above that one? Where it talks about the everyday cost increase and the high gas prices that are spurring spates, states to waive taxes and regulations amid terms, which kind of I think correlates with this story, which in my interpretation, this is a great move that certain states are doing. You know how they say that all politics are local? Yes, we acknowledge that prices are up. Tom taught me a lot about Brent oil and West Texas oil and-- Dubai oil. Dubai oil. Tom was teaching me all this stuff. Don't you get-- It's like wine. By the way, your clip that you put on VT is like a half a million views. It was great. It was a-- Oh, I'm gasoline. On gasoline, it was great. But what I found interesting is that certain states can do certain measurements to actually lower the cost. It says about one-third of U.S. states have implemented some form of fuel tax relief. But here's the catch. And this is where politics get into it. Most of those states, if not all, are Republican states. They're red states. Governors in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas have all provided fuel tax relief for their agriculture and have helped lower tax costs. Trucks and tractors on farmers. Because they actually want to help their people. Now, in my opinion, why are the blue states not helping their people? We all know that California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, who all trend incredibly blue, why don't they lower the cost for their people? Because in my opinion, they want their people to feel the increase of costs. Feel the pain. And say, Trump did this to you. That orange man. We're not going to do anything, nothing to lower the cost. We're going to actually hold up this price and make you suffer more. So this is where this gets a real tricky situation. Yeah. So each of these states are helping their people in red states. So let me give you this here. The NEADA says low-income Northeast households alone are expected to pay almost $1.1 billion more in heating this winter. You divided a part that's around 878 increase average that points to an order of magnitude of around 1.2 to 1.3 million low income. Oil heated households. So then if I'm asking a question and saying, who are these people? Who gets it hard? Seniors and people living in fixed incomes, which makes sense. Households under roughly 60K a year. And I ask, what percentage is under 60K a year? The EIA 2020 for data shows an irregular rise. So approximately 64% of households under 10,058% of households, 10 to 51% at 30 to 60,000 reported some form of energy insecurity. Above 100,000 it drops dramatically. Okay, so make sense. Above 100,000 you're still going to be fine. At the 60,000 number that's going to be impact. Households already behind on utility bills. Any ID estimates at about 21.5 million U.S. households, roughly 1 in 6 are already behind on energy bills.
bills damn. Did you know that? I did not know that. I did not know that. Did you hear the number? One in six households in America right now are behind on energy bills. Not credit cards. There's only just there's only money to carry. So one in six, 21 and a half million households are behind on energy bills. Low income households currently spend about 8.6% in their income on household energy versus 3% for other households and people in New England. This is extremely concentrated geographically in an AIA 2020 data, roughly 53% of main and Vermont households, 43% of New Hampshire, 40% of Connecticut, 32% of Rhode Island, 26% of Massachusetts received fuel oil deliveries. Main was still around 50% dependent on heating going 20, 24 and last but not least is old folks homes, old homeowners, old home homes, heating goes much more common in the older north eastern. This is, we're praying for you. This, you know, hopefully they figure this part out and some states find ways to get creative with this. But I kind of, I kind of agree that they're not going to let this happen because they need the crisis to blame it on trial. They need it. There's no way you can choose not to drive, you can't choose not to free us. No, this, this is it. Let's go to the next story. Next story I want to get to is, I really want to get into that baseball story, but I'll get into that at the end. This story I want to get into next is, Adam, are you feeling this? Are you feeling Uber delays right now? There's a story that says Uber way times rise 20% as prices climb 53%. So let me read this and you tell me and others as well. Can you run a poll real quick asking folks, is anybody increase in prices in Uber and delays? Yes, no, I don't take Uber and lift, okay, or put, I take a lift, just kind of put that question in there. Watch this, the time between Uber matching the driver and the car arriving, grew by 19% from Q1 and Q3, 2023. Same time period. While price per mile, price per mile is up 53%. A new analysis by Len Sherman from Executive and Residence at Columbia Business School, you're charging more for less Sherman. The analysis relies on a number of inaccuracies and Uber spokesperson countered. Sherman examined 37,500 trips and six cities, way time rose in five, including Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Tampa. The data doesn't include waiting for Uber to pair a driver by definition. It's an underestimate Sherman said, once cash burning to acquire users, Uber has used up from pricing to become profitable by charging riders more and paying drivers less Sherman contends by raising way times and prices, Uber risks customer relationship as an AIG and lets riders compare prices with rivals, the 2026 Axios Harris poll 100 ranked Uber 72nd on reputation down from 58. Are you experiencing that or not at all? I haven't felt anything and I'll tell you why. When they say that the Uber wait time is up 19%, that means if it typically takes you four minutes to get an Uber, now it's going to take you five minutes. Have you felt that? No, because if you order an Uber, you know that the Uber is not going to magically show up in 10 seconds. I understand that. So it's going to take five minutes or ten minutes. No. Okay. I haven't seen the prices going. No, and I'll give you exactly today. I took an Uber here this morning. Yeah. I scheduled ahead and very important, but a lot of people don't realize, you get the night before you go to sleep, set it up to pick you up exactly so you don't have the worry about it. And does the driver get to pick it earlier? Yeah. Absolutely. This guy showed up at my house. He's still picking me up. No, it's 730 on the dot earlier. Like it'll back up so many minutes. That's interesting. Yeah. So that it gets to you at the time you want. So you guys would never drive over to answer for me. He comes on time. He comes on time. He waits for me. It calls me 40 bucks to get from Miami. I'm like, you know, I go. Same exact price. I have not felt it. And I take Uber's and lifts more than anybody. So I'm sure because what they're doing is they're probably, they're not going to raise the cost and the consumer because the consumer's already getting pinched. To me, I've saved so much money on lift and Uber. You just did a whole breakdown. How much is the average person spend on a car vehicle total for the year? $12,000. Yes. A thousand thousand two a month. Okay. So $13,000. Correct. I would have to take Uber's left and right up my wazoo to spend $10,000 to $12,000 right there. And I'll do it for you today. I'll break down the price of what it costs me to get you. I don't know about it. I don't know about that because if you if you take how many Uber's how much money you spend on Uber per month? About five hundred bucks. Wait, are you sure? Forty there. Forty back. That's 80 just coming cure ones. If you come here twice, I get a ride back. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So you get creative. I drive with Jayden on the way back because he's here and we drive back together. Got it. So it's and and I'm here three days a week. So you spend five hundred you spend 500 bucks on Uber. Yeah. But that's also so like let's look at it this way. If I wanted to go if I had my car like this weekend, I went out and this past week and you go out to an event in South Beach. I'm going to have to spend 20 bucks on valet anyway. The Uber to get me there costed twelve bucks. I'm saving eight dollars. Okay. The gas is going to cost me how much these days. So people really need to take a look at how much they're spending on their vehicles. If you can get by and with now having a car and how much again, does the average person spending a month on twelve fifty one thousand and twenty two dollars thirteen thousand dollars a year. You'd have to be very hard press to spend thirteen thousand dollars a year on an Uber or Lyft. That's what I would say. Here's a breakdown of the pricing if you just want to know what happened to me today. The receipt. Here we go. The trip fare was thirty dollars. The booking fee was nine dollars. So Uber's taking nine bucks off the top. They're getting their money. I give the guy a five dollar tip and the guy waited for me a little bit longer. They charged me one extra one extra dollar. So it turned out to be forty five dollars all in tip, tax, this, that, the other. So yeah, point is I Uber more than anybody. I haven't felt at all. That's that's that's a very serious thing to look at because if the economics doesn't work for Uber and the driver's long term, they have to raise the prices. Oh, I think I don't have a choice. I have a whole opinion on what's going to happen to drivers. And this is my opinion. Driver less. Oh, if you're in America and you speak English and you're a normal person, if your sole job is an Uber driver, but you got to go back to the drawing board, because in America, in Miami, 98% of the drivers I have and I Uber and Lyft every single day, no, I would English at all zero. So they're coming to take your jobs. These are immigrants who have been your 10, 15, 20 minutes and they're coming to take your jobs. So if you're an American who has brains and has a will to improve, you can't just be in a river. Well, let me tell you what, let me tell you what our audience said. Okay. Forty percent said yes, prices have increased and weight has increased. Forty two percent said no increase. Seventeen percent said they take a lift. Okay, so they take a lift. So lifting over the same thing and actually I would encourage people with what I do is, you know, when any Uber rule here, I've learned a lot from PBD, if you're going to get a price, how many options? Three options. There's really only Lyft and Uber. I check Lyft and Uber every single time I don't order a car and it's usually dramatic price difference. So this morning Lyft was going to charge me 60 to get here. Uber charged me 40. What do I go with? I go with the Uber. On the way back, it actually changes. So I don't know what kind of mechanism they're using. Whenever Lyft is a certain price, Uber will undercut them or do the, if you're just ordering Uber blindly and not checking Lyft, you're actually probably spending this amount of money. I guess the reason that I'm not noticing this path is because I'm shopping the market and saying it caused me 40 to take Lyft and 60 to take Lyft. But also the business owner has to find a way to make it profitable for them. If they don't pass down the prices, they have to find a way to make money. I mean, the driver's owner, the Uber. Well, I think Uber is like losing money. Exactly my point. They are still what they're doing. And it's only going to get worse at these, at these waymoves. Let me get to the next story. I get to the next story. Next story I want to get to is Christopher Pike. So this story is a, you know, very weird story with Christopher Pike. So this girl, who many years ago, I don't know what the timeline was, 25, 30 years ago, her and her boyfriend, he, she gets upset at another girl. And she decides to go and get the girl. I think I don't know what it was. They kill her, hits the head, grabs a piece from the skull. She ends up bragging about the piece that she has and she shows her to her friends. She gets arrested. She gets the, what do you call it, death penalty. And in the state of Tennessee, they tried to take her out twice. It fails both times. And this is the second time that it's happened in Tennessee. And other stories are what's going to be happening. The lawyers coming back saying it's the state's fault. I cannot believe you did this. People are coming out and saying, poor girl, poor her. Can't believe she went through this. That is not fair. And that's, I'm summarizing the story for you. Vivanie, I'll come to you first with this story. Yeah. And just to add to it and, uh, uh, uh, Connor, you have that graphic that I sent you about Colleen, yeah, Colleen slumber. Pat, check this out. Pentagram carved into her chest while she was still alive. Okay, 300 cuts on the face, neck, chest, abdomen, back and arms, six inches gap and woman across the middle of her neck penetrating fat muscle.
but this is a violent, violent attack from a female, okay? Multiple extensive skull fractures from at least four blows to the head, two on the left side, one to the right eye, one above her nose area. Head injuries rendered her face unrecognizable. They couldn't even tell if they had to, obviously, check. Boy or girl, identification made part by dental records. You understand how bad that is? Bruises and cuts, all over the majority of her body, dirt and debris, 'cause they means like, oh, sorry. She was dragged, clothing removed and defensive wounds on her arms, meaning she was fighting. She was fighting the whole time, okay? They tortured her, they beat her. And then prison, Pat, you think that she would be a change woman? In 2001, she tried to strangle another inmate with a shoelace. Years later, she was recorded, Tommy, saying that she would do it again and then the next time she would succeed, okay? So this is, here's my thing, Pat. Evil person, even all that aside, I do feel, because as a Christian, I feel bad. This is, when you're supposed to go, you're gonna go, meaning the execution should just go. Why are we still doing the lethal injection, Tom? Even, even, remember the movie Green Mile? Well, you know, sometimes it messes up if it's not this or if it's not that, just firing squad. Do a firing squad? I have never heard of a firing squad where the person lived later on to tell stories or they were bruising and everything like that. And there was other reports that she refused eating. She didn't want her final meal. And for some reason, she was not drinking. She was dehydrated. When makes the vein search very, very hard. Apparently they were having trouble doing it. This is, by the way, she's been in jail for a long time. This is a evil person that I hope and I pray. Turned to God, 'cause a lot of people in there have a lot of time on their hands. Okay, she seems like an evil person, Pat. I can hope and pray that she came to Christ, but this is not a good person. Okay, and I feel bad that it wasn't clean. They need to change the freaking way that they're killing people. You know, it was a few people that were involved. So she, apparently, she was thinking that this girl, Colleen was trying to take her boyfriend away from her. So she teams up with her, her and her boyfriend, Tedero ship, and another lady named Shadola Peterson, Lord Colleen to a secluded area near the University of Tennessee agricultural campus in Knoxville, and then that's where they beat her and torture her, et cetera, et cetera, horrible. tragic event that takes place. And the case became, especially notorious because of the extreme brutality and because Pike later kept a piece of the skull as a trophy. Yeah, that's exactly what she did. Now, let me continue with this. Shadola, Shadola Peterson, her friend got away, got off. Nothing happened to her. She got, she did not receive a long prison sentence. She cooperated with prosecutors against, testified against Christophe and Tedero ship. She ultimately did guilty to be in an accessory after the fact and received probation, rather than a murder conviction, carrying a lengthy prison term contemporary, summaries commonly describe her original sentence as six years suspended to probation only. So even though she was involved in a murder, she got off because she said everything about what her friend did, right? And then when you go a little bit deeper of what they did, Christophe Pike was treated as a principal killer. Evidence shows she had talked beforehand about wanting to kill Colleen, Slammer participated throughout the prolonged assault and Slammer's throat multiple times, cut the throat, beat her ultimately smash her. - And I'm not saying we're glossing over it. Do you guys understand? If, with all the things that I said about what they did, the pentagram while she was alive, if you crack somebody's head open with asphalt and you actually go and you take a piece of the skull and you're showing it off to people at school, you are evil. There is no, I was fun, I was having a good time. I was young and dumb, absolute, no Adam, seriously, that's evil. I know we're talking about college girls making mistakes and whatever on the drugs. This is a different story. When you're taking off a piece of the head and showing it in school, Tom, it doesn't get more evil than that. You're bragging about murdering this innocent girl. - And this is where I have fought with our criminal justice system. First of all, how much evidence do you need to get a murder conviction? And yet you're willing to give a person that was involved in it, probation for testifying against the killer. Are you kidding me? You usually do that when you need the witness, when you need something. I don't know what more you need if she's in possession of a piece of the skull. GMAM, where did you get that? And I understand our appellate process, but this is where the courts became so clogged, Pat, that they developed what's called the rocket, docket. The docket of cases coming up, they said some of these cases just need to go fast so that the people can be served, 'cause we the people need the court to be handling cases for the service of the people by finding criminals guilty and doing all the things they're supposed to do, or by finding the wrongly accused innocent. That's what the court's supposed to do. I think there should be a rocket docket on death row because what you have here is you have people on death row who has strangled somebody on death row of the shoelace and says, hey, check, next time I would've got it right and killed you. Because she's in there for a life without parole. And she's on the death penalty. So she's a danger to other inmates who may be there for a lesser crime. So I think you just got to get it over with and the incompetency of the state to administer this. There is a whole bunch of stuff that goes into the lethal Jackson folk that we'll talk about in that they understand the size, weight, composition, everything of the person that there's going to be injected and yet they get it wrong. You know, why don't you just outsource to a gang banger? They off each other with a single shot. Actually, I just popped a cap in his head and it was dead. But yeah, and you know what, in the state of Florida, they used to use the electric chair. The electric chair was undefeated. You know, you had a record of 296 and 0. So you don't beat the electric chair and they thought it was inhumane because you bring in witnesses for executions and apparently smoke poured and then flames from the head of Jesse Tafaro in 1990. And again, for Pedro Medina in 1997. So people were upset about that and the proponents were saying, well, it means that the electricity is working. And then in 1999, they stopped it. However, in the state of Florida, you can choose old Sparky because it is still held in a small room ready to go. And if you don't want the lethal injection in Florida, you can select those. I want to show you, but my point is just do it. I want to show you this. I want to show you this a couple of things. By the way, the boyfriend to Daryl got off and he just got life because he was 17 at the time. And he's the one that prevented her from running away twice, escaping twice. And records showed that he gagged slimmer and inflicted some of the cuts and wounds. So he got away because he was under 18 years old. And this is the lawyer talking about the failure. I think yesterday he talked this is her lawyer. Listen to what he had to say. Go for it. Well, he start by saying, Christa is alive right now. We do know that she is alive right now in receiving life saving medical care. The state of Tennessee has shown us again that they are not capable of carrying out an execution consistent with basic human dignity. Last night was not just inefficient. It was cruel and it was torturous. It was also predictable. Christa's legal team told the state of Tennessee and the courts that her medical conditions would cause her to suffer an agonizing death. The state and the court dismiss Christa's concerns. The governor's call for an independent review does not go far enough. After having endured solitary confinement for more than 20 years and a full attempt to kill her by lethal injection, Christa has endured punishment greater than any other person in the history of the American family. Stop the governor must commute Christa. OK, can you do me a favor and play the other clip on what they think is going to be happening? Because what some people are saying is they're going to use double jeopardy to get away and she's going to get off. And this is a very good break down. Go for it. It happens a lot in death penalty cases. These last men at Hail Mary's to try to prevent the death penalty for a car. And sometimes it goes all the way up to the Supreme Court or to the federal circuit court. Like it did in this instance as well. So there might be a lot of breezefall. But I don't think it's going to really override the punishment. I've heard a lot about double jeopardy. This is not double jeopardy. She was already convicted. She was already sentenced. There's no double jeopardy here. It's really an eighth amendment issue where there's a cruel and unusual to do this again to her, as an individual. And under Tennessee law, it would be at this time because they already tried twice. But I think in past cases, they've waited like a year and when mistakes or unsuccessfuls of killing a defendant have happened. So I think that's probably the most difficult thing to do. It's weird because they had this happen again earlier, just four months ago. 20 von Carruthers execution aborted before lethal drugs were administered because the team couldn't establish the backup line. Can you imagine that? And this has all happened while Tennessee is trying to find out what their next governor is. And this has become a topic of discussion in the governor race that they're having. I think you will-- I think Tennessee might need to take a lesson from Tehran and just do what Tehran does and just hang people from the news. You mean all know that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the best at that. They're leading the league and hanging innocent to centers. So just do what's proven to get done and do like Iran does and hang people up. She smiles. That's if she's proud she did this. She's like, it doesn't look like anything changed. Like, yeah, we'll do it again and she deserved it. And look at the smile on her face. And look at the face. You don't, you know, and look how rich I've been on the left right on the right who's
on the left. I think the writer of the article about that calls it yeah but how yeah but how bridge like how law and I get it it's her lawyer but how rich is it that he had the audacity to say that the way that they're trying to kill her was cruel and torturous give me a free by you know why lawyers get a independent I'm an defendant here's why he is a criminal defense attorney who is supposed to use all means possible yeah for them that's his job yeah so don't criticize him for his job you can say how could you be a criminal defense attorney that's valid and yeah I think I'll take a special kind of person to contrive what is also a lot of lensi clancy attorney or you ready for this however you killed the person that you killed that's how we're going to kill you well and that family gets to watch if they want to if that if you want to put a pair of robbies code then well if you want to put fear in people's hearts oh we got we caught you you killed you put a pentagram on her and then you beat her enough you're going to die that way or just give her so many wish you like yeah exactly hey she tried to kill you with this it's a stronger one yeah unbelievable this would make a very interesting interview sitting with her to see how somebody gets to this point all right what time do we have the lemon hotel okay we got a couple of the stories that I'm gonna go with as well next story here is MLB so the the red socks apparently played against the Yankees twice twice and time you told me that they won the Yankees one day advance Yankees one Yankees very interesting angles on the story the picture for the red socks sunny gray who used to play for the Yankees came up with the Oakland A's right play for the Yankees and all of a sudden the market's like what the hell is this pintar on his neck looking at I don't know if you guys have seen this or not and he keeps wiping look at this on the on the right side of his neck right there right there see what he wipe it's blocked to be able to you know to have a little bit more velocity and grip and grip because the weather's cold right so they're saying this is what was going on in the post game interview and by the way the other guy for them who is who is the guy that Fred Ross who hits the home run take some 28 29 seconds to go at the end he was walking they're like you're you're walking as if you are ahead or winning and sunny gray is doing the interview afterwards and look what he has to say go forward I think I'm the best pitcher in the American league going through the order of his third time uh who goes the funny commentating back it up say right you are the best pitcher in the American league guy he talked shit about the Yankees saying I never wanted to go there in the first place it feels good to me to go to a place where it's easy to hate the Yankees and even with all that confidence he claims he has he comes into Yankees saving with pintar loavers neck and don't look at it look at that I'm gonna go back a little bit right to go back a little bit look at that by the way now I just did a shower and we know what's my favorite part of the story let me tell you what's my favorite part of the story this is all leading to my favorite part of the story do you know the pitcher for the Yankees that Tom says is probably going to win the Saiyong and potentially the MVP damn slitler okay do you know what's the special story by camp do you know his background not really do you know when he was coming up you know what city he's from Boston he wanted his dream was to play for the red sock they turned him down oh what a great story goes and plays for the Yankees right and when he plays for the Yankees can I share some stats with you just so you know okay in the game that he had playing against the red socks he pitch for 6.1 innings okay 10 strikeouts zero earned run nothing he gave up nothing but that's not the big deal he finished with a hundred and 17 pitches in the game nass 117 the last time a Yankees pitcher pitched 117 pitches in a game was in 2012 it was a guy named CC so that yeah this is not a common thing Tom can tell you 117 pitches today is unheard of today this is not a no no no it's not but let me tell you what gets even more exciting about this across two postseason starts against the red socks he's pitched he's given zero runs 22 strikeouts and out of his six career starts against the red socks six career starts against the red socks guess what his ERA is against six games against the red sock 1.9 I mean 0.5 it's his I mean yeah everything lower than you 0.0 are you getting me like that's insane to me on what he does so this guy is sitting there and he's being interviewed I don't know if you guys saw the interview what he says he says listen if you want to be a legend in this game right I don't know if you guys saw this or not and for the kids that play sports and you got things that's going on this is the mentality that I love boys I'm sending it to you if you can play this clip I send it to Vinnie I don't send it to you guys I'm gonna send it to you for you to play this clip it's a different clip in this clip he's being interviewed after the pitching game that he apparently had I didn't watch but he so he so he says in this interview he's just talking very ice cold very regular okay very common and he says the following folks I want you to watch is play this clip for your kids let your kids see this okay watch us go ahead play this from the beginning if you can't refresh it refresh it one more time watch this get them mute button as well there you go your position perfect again the job is not done we got to get another win tomorrow but I mean yeah I mean again the job is not done we got to get another win tomorrow but I mean it's very well known that you know if you want to be a legend which is obviously the goal yeah I do in the postseason so I am right have dominant starts and put the team in position to win and that's kind of the most important thing I find while the guys today did a great job of that and we're definitely ahead in the right direction don't you love that mindset to have a mindset like that you're saying this is the guy who grew up being a Boston resident this guy's dream was to play for the Red Saga and it's place for spoiler it's it's like you're you're a you grew up a Muslim you become a Christian and you want it to be any mom and you become and do you like that's how divergent oh no no the red socks the red socks the two it is a religion for these guys it is a religion for these guys and then Ben Rice who to me looks just like Roger Maris you know hit you did he had a grand grand slam or some like people some people told me he had a Ben Rice at a grand slam or he had a big homeroom brother is that Pat thank you's this is by the way this is his upbringing Ben Rice at a laugh he's a designated and how awesome is the decision as a New York Yankees not to Aaron judge has been wanting to come back stand wants to come back they're in the they're in the dugout but they're not letting him come back and I tell you a good story though this is the good story Vinnie that we have to tell you have to one of the pictures from the red socks his name is Peyton tolly and maybe tolly Peyton tolly there's two clips that Vinnie brought up can you do me if ever and bring these two clips up okay two of them go to the first one that shows when he's being picked up and going to the major league this is the clip of him being told you're about to pitch your first big major league baseball game look at the reaction go for it so tomorrow there's a game here pirates first the red socks Paul skeens vs TBD we were thinking I'd turn that TBD into tolly. Bro. Don't you love this guy. He's such a good guy bro. He's not like that by the way we were watching that first game ever that he was gonna play and then watch watch this video Vinnie but why don't you tee up this next video what he says to you. Paul skeens national league side young or yeah exactly it's not like you're going up well come welcome to the show great stash on this guy so he's so he's explaining here how you know why he has you're so pretty inscribed on his glove and it's on his glove he has a statement that says you're so pretty yeah attribute to his mother Gina who passed away last year from cancer swatches why yeah go for it telephans you don't know what is on your glove and why so on it I have you're so pretty and every game throughout high school I'd always know mom was there to see you all you're so pretty it was meant to embarrass me for a long time and I found quickly it's like you close me tonight or if I'm I look down to see that it's my little reminder like hey crap happens on the field but you're still pretty like you're still good I mean this is a guy you love who doesn't love a player like this he loves his mom and he's a red socks guy and I you love him and I love Jesus y'all he does and I love like that again back again is that what it says he really says I love Jesus yeah yeah stop it play from but I guess a little bit so this video it's okay go out there and kick ass I get cancer's ass so you can go out there I love it I get this is a beautiful body this is the beautiful part about sports and baseball on what happens so Tom walk me through because one of the stats is that came out which is fascinating is that MLB attendance rises for the fourth straight year to 71.75 million look at the Tigers 71.75 million fans watching this I thought last year when you guys won the world series in my opinion the greatest world series I ever watched that was the Toronto one oh oh it's the greatest world series ever watch the one game seven didn't it did it did but attendance rose but Tom at the same time while attendance rose the Houston Astros are into playoffs and you just set to me 7,000 people weren't there in the audience and they're boon their own how is that even possible well I'll tell you why it's possible the Houston Astros finished with an incredible record of 81 and 81 so they did not have a winning season they fought to a tie with themselves and if you take a look at what was going on the American League West I'm sure you'll see you next time.
That was kind of the dark side of baseball. It was nobody wanted to win and the rest of American League just beat the crap out of them. And the Houston Astros are now O-9 at home in playoff games dating back. They got swept in a wildcard this year by the Chicago White Sox. Two years ago in 2024, they got swept in the wildcard at home. You're opening up the wildcard at home. You're supposed to win. You're the home field. They lost, so that's four. And then the previous year, 2023, do you remember that remarkable American League Championship series between the Rangers and the Astros? The Astros won all three games at Texas and Texas won all four games at Houston. The home team never won in that ACLS and somehow the Rangers went to World Series and won it. They lost those four. So that's 2023. And then they lost one game the prior year. So it's been 2022 since they've won a home playoff game and they've been in the playoffs four years. The fans are tired of it. Also, if you talk to the Astro fans down there, there are some that have read the stories about the people that left after 2017. We know what happened 2017. They cheated, they won the World Series, they beat the Dodgers. And they beat it with hidden cameras and banging on tubs to take something off. - Yeah, and Alton makes sense now. - Alton, he hits a home run and he's like, "Don't take off my dirt." - 'Cause he was wearing a buzzer. - Yeah, you gave him right. - He was wearing a buzzer. - It was allegedly. - Yeah, allegedly. - So that's what's going on. Then with the Astro's Pat, you have just, I think a lack of, there's a lack of effort on the field. They've kind of lost Mojo. But the state of baseball is good. We had a great World Series last year. Not because the Dodgers were in it, because it was simply great baseball. And this year, the stadium experience has been better. And I think Pat, something they did in what you're opinion on this as a baseball owner, is I think the shot clock that they brought to baseball for pitching, and you can only step out of the batter's box and scratch yourself and remember they used to step out. Literally, when I say scratch yourself, they would adjust their cup. And then they would sit there adjust their gloves and then get back in the batter's box. And it was like, well, people stopped digiting and just play. It's like, that's why they have a shot clock in basketball, so you don't sit there just bouncing the ball or wasting time. And that's why they have the clock in football. So baseball brought it. And I think it's resulted in a good thing. I also think that the rule that the relief pitcher's pat have to face a minimum of three batters. Remember when you used to have five pitchers at the end of a baseball game pat? - Yeah. - Like five, left hand or right hand, or left hand or right hand, and it was worse than all the timeouts in the NBA where it takes five minutes. - That rule now, you have to face three batters? - Correct. But I'm just gonna be getting smoked. - Guess what? - Then the man is who brought the wrong guy in? - Then what happens if you get injured or-- - Well, let me tell you what has happened, though. A couple of things to be thinking about. The other day, I'm sitting there and I'm asking myself one question because I noticed everybody that would come up. He had 243. He had 228. He had 265. Well, these are guys that are under freaking playoff that are hitting 242, 252, 60. I remember watching playoffs 30 years ago, 328. 317, 341, Paul Molotor. You know, you would see Larry Walker, 370. You know, one Gonzalez, 315, Aero, 328. What the hell happened to batting average? Do you know, in 1996, what the average batting average was in baseball? - The average. - Average of 250. - 250. - 270. - Wow. - In 1996, you know what it is today? 244. - What happened? - I'm gonna take exactly what happened. Tampa Bay Rays changed the game when they realized I'm no longer needing to pitch. We used to have a lot of complete games. We used to have a lot of shutouts. We had a lot of guys that was pride. 17 complete games, shutout. You know, six complete game shutouts. Nobody gets complete games anymore. - But it doesn't matter. - They went to mathematics. So you start off strong. So low ERA for second third inning. And then they started noticing that it drops around 56. And like, you know what, let me get rid of them after the six. You need to buy middle, really get the win. So then they bring two, three, four pitchers. So average game has five pitchers. The game got boring to a pitchers. But audience has now shown up. But let me tell you what happened. This is one thing I don't like. - I'm glad you broke that down. Vladimir Guerrero, who yesterday, last year, if you guys can find this clip, last year, the guy plays in the greatest world series ever. I've watched. You remember when they're going up against the Dodgers. - You almost beat the Dodgers. - The greatest world series. It was like a thank you Dodgers, thank you, Toronto, for putting on an amazing show. Every game was exciting. Congratulations for the Dodgers for winning. Well deserved. But the one person that we all started looking at as a person you feared was who? Vladimir Guerrero, because what he was doing on the playoffs. You know what happens after last year? He gets a 500 million out of contract. And he's being interviewed. In an interview, guess what Vladimir Guerrero says? He says, "They didn't pay me to hit 40 every year." He says, "They paid me for what I did last year." I want you to watch his comments. Go ahead. Can you turn on, okay, go forward. Watch this. - I want you to have a point. - Oh my God. - He said, "They didn't pay me 500 million on what they want me to do this year. They paid me 500 million because of what I did last year." - No. - That's not the way it works. - Now watch, let me tell you what happens next. Do you know this year? He played 147 games, okay? That's a lot. You played 90% of the games. Do you want to know how many home runs he hit this season? - Compared to old. - Tom, do you know how many home runs he hit this season? - No, no, I just want you to know. This is a guy that was hitting 400 in the playoffs last year, 350 in the playoffs last year. How many home runs you think he played in 147 games? No major integers, don't look up the stats. I just want you to guess. How many home runs you think a lot of them are going to hit this year? That's still a lot. - That's a lot of them. - If you hit less than 30, if you're this guy, you're after getting $500 million. - I remember the All-Star break. It was like he didn't even show up on lead leaders. I don't know how many. - Okay, but what would shock you, Tom? For Guerrero, his father was a phenom. - If he hit less than 20, what number would you be shocked with? - Less than 20 without an injury would shock me. Less than that. - He hit nine home runs this year. - No, no injury. - That's half of what it is. - Only 57 RBIs. - Wow. - 72 runs. That's it. - Wow. - What a loose slugging percentage. 356. - He has his money. - But he got his money. You know what a horrible example this is to the other teammates? - I agree. - You know what a horrible example this is for the young kids? - Yeah, why? Can you pull up Toronto Blue Jays record this year versus last year? Okay, what is the Toronto Blue Jays record this year versus last year? If you go look at how many wins they had, look at this Vinny. Last year record was what? 94 and 68. - And then you start paying. - They were number one AL East finish. Of course, they lost the World Series 4 to 3. They almost won the whole thing. Look at this year. 79 and 83 in the AL East, they finished 5th and Guerrero was not injured, but you got paid. You got paid. You learn what happens. Do you know the history of sports, the most disappointing team ever with the biggest budget as a team that ended up going last. You know who it was? New York meds. Juan Soto took the check, went to the meds, what happened to him the other day. He can make it to first base. The guy fumbles. He doesn't get hit because he's just kind of shrouding like, let me tell you how much money I got all this other stuff. Nothing is more annoying than you watch guys that were exciting guys like Poppy would play you're like, man, this guy's playing. He brings so much pride to the game of baseball. I'd love to see Viral Automar, Guerrero, this year offseason, go lose 25-30 pounds, recreate himself, come back next year and go back into the big, the World Series and play against somebody like the Dodgers. The concern is right now, the Yankee, what do you call it, MLB has a lot of good things going out. They're getting viewers. People are enjoying baseball. Absolutely. People are enjoying watching baseball. And by the way, they're enjoying watching baseball during a pitch here, pitcher's era. Yes. Steroids is out. You know how scary it is to do steroids today? You know what happens if you can, you know, do you know what the fine is right now for the whole season or what? 81 to first on 162 second time. Half a season involved. You're making 30 million here. You just lost 15 million. Oh, you don't get paid either. Zero. Team gets away. Your team gets away. Zero. You pay nothing. So guys are doing no steroids. They're not even doing any of this, you know, nor testing or whatever, muscle tech stuff that you know, some guys that were up on there, all these guys will talk about. So it is a very, very different league today to play. And so it's exciting. It's fun, but I hope they don't screw this thing up with this collective time. Is it the collective bargaining agreement that's coming out that they're going to go on a strike? Stacking up with cash because they know it's going to potentially next to be no season. Yeah, the collective bargaining agreement is the rules by which the owners and the players will work with each other. And if that expires and there's no rules to work together, then they're technically what's called on strike because the players will say, well, until we have a new CBA, they call it, we're not playing. So the players go on strike while they're trying to negotiate a new contract. What is Calche's number on a strike happening? When you guys go and see if there's a Calche on strike, like MLB strike, go ahead Tom. Yep. I think we are lock out, lock out, MLB lock out the current collective bargaining be expires December 1st has proposed the salary cap and salary floor with a proposed newbie seven cap at 245 million of floor of 171. Here it is. New CBA before December 2nd, 6% chance. Oh, it's not going to happen. What do you mean? You don't think strikes going to happen? This is the agreement's going to happen, they're not going to have an agreement before the numbers.
If this was 96% chance, there's no lockout, there won't be an agreement. This is no agreement. Strike is going to happen. Right. This flip it over. 94% chance there's going to be a strike. I hope they figure out quickly because baseball has won millions of fans back. And it's a dumb mistake if they do it now. It's a dumb mistake if they do it now. The sport is exciting again. Playoffs this year, last year, last four years straight. And they updated the product without changing the heart of the game. Tom, you made a great point, everything is faster. You're in there. And they're leaning on players like Shohei Ohtani and Judge Short Clips, they're putting them out there. And you know, I want because a lot of people talk crap, they're like, it's so boring. It's like, okay. I love the NFL. The last few years. Exactly. If you watch the NFL, people don't realize it's Adam. Three hours of a game. You're getting 11 minutes of hike, but in baseball, Pat, we're sitting there watching the game, Adam. We're eating. We're talking. That's your my bad sports trivia. You got to if you go to an actual game, guys, you're in the, that's why they call it America's past. You're in there. You go eat. You go shopping. Come back. Fourth inning. And it's still exciting and it's still. But you know what, Topini? Yeah. You know why I'm wearing this jacket right now? Why? The faith over fear jacket that you can get on FLB.com. Yeah. Because I have faith. They're going to figure it out. I like it. I like it. I like what you did. It's faith over fear. Baseball's going to figure it out. And they got it. They got it. They got to put that in place. Well, I say this to everybody. If there's a sport, I'm convinced. It's not like I have inside information. I don't want to leak my sources because you know, you get in trouble. God's favorite sport is baseball. This is documented. Well, if you build, by the way, you know, it's, it's in the Bible. Really? What would they say in the Bible? What would the first words in a Bible? In the big inning. Oh, what? It's in the Bible. It tells you. In the big inning. But that's a mistake. It's a sacrifice. Some people say it's in the beginning. No, no, no, no, no. It's actually in the big inning. In the big inning. And then he's talking about maybe the ninth. That's what the Bible starts with. In the first half. In the baseball guy. Don't let anybody fool you by the way. It's not football. Wow. It's not soccer. It's not hockey. It's baseball. Yeah. There's something about baseball. You get to see. You know, by the way, I am praying the Yankees go to the World Series. And I'm praying the Dodgers go. You know why? Because I want to go to New York and I want to go watch. The World Series together. That is such a great experience going to the game. Yankee fans show up. Last time we were there. A bunch of guys coming in talking. It's great conversations. But anyways, with that being said, I think games start time. Guys remind me with the schedule. I think. Saturday. So I'm not following this. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. I'll just play a four. I'll just play a Atlanta. Okay. Yankees play against the Tampa Bayway. Tampa Bayway. Which in Tampa. In Tampa. The last one is San Diego goes against Milwaukee. Which should be baseball. Baseball is back, baby. Baseball is back. All right. Before we wrap up. I appreciate you laying out what happened with the averages. By the way, just for the record, I've been to basketball games, football games, going to a baseball game. There ain't nothing like it. Something about that diamond on the field. It's incredible. But I don't follow baseball. Like you guys follow baseball. I'm more basketball. I skip two games. But I love the games. Great game. I'll check stats just to see who are the good players. Yeah. I do that. I was like, I'm looking at the average. Nothing. Five. Six players batted above 300. That's right. Growing up, if you didn't hit 300, you weren't at all-stop. Yep. Six players in this guy, Yordan Alvarez, led the league with 316. I remember you used to lead the league. You'd have to be at like 340, 320. Home runs, you're talking. Don't talk to me. It lets you be at 50. I remember when the 45 had like nobody behind him. So he did that on a bad team or they could have pitched. Well, I also, I also noticed something about Tom. Not only does he kind of low key, you know, rude against the Yankees. I get it. He hates the Yankees. You also, you also low key. I realize this why you hate the Houston Astros. Yeah, they beat the Dodgers. They beat us. They beat us. They beat us and set them down. Now I get what's going on in the league. You still have a problem. I don't forget about bitter Dodgers fans. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Forget about bitter Dodger fans. Everybody in the league and C.C. Sabatia say that they cheated. That should have been a Dodger Yankees world series. All right. C.C. Sabatia said that they got cheated. Tom, who pitched in that game in 2017 for the Dodgers when they lost? The person guy. The versions. Who did you? I'm like, you Darvish. You Darvish. He helped you. I did help. I did help you. I was at the game. Even awful said, hey, let's go to the game. Get out of here. And on the way to the game, these guys were so good at getting freaking sorry. It was like Japanese that we on the way to the game. They're like asking all these compensation stuff like these guys every time they do this with me. But I went there and we sat there to hope to see the Dodgers win because at that time, I'm like, I believe it or not one thing about me, you've got to realize if the Yankees are playing the Dodgers, I'm rooting for who? The Yankees. Anybody else playing against the Dodgers. I'm rooting for the Dodgers. I'm going to lie. I am telling you. See, I'm an, I'm an alaicai. I do it when the Dodgers won in the Texas doing COVID. I was wearing a Dodgers hat because this dog, I'm an alaicai still. I love the Dodgers. So I'm conflicted. But it's Yankees. To me, baseball is Yankees. To me, baseball is Yankees, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra, Jeter, Root. Murderous baseball is Yankees, the Yankees. That is something about a wearer Yankees. Everybody knows. You're trained. They're going to know who the Yankees are. Everybody knows that the number one team, like the icon for you is the favorite. I know. The Miami Marley. Yeah. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. Let me tell you, the day if we ever get a hold of a team, majority, it'll be some of the funnest games you'll ever go to. The day comes that we're majority. Right now, you don't want a minority on over Yankees. You know what you get to say? You just get to cheer. Yeah. That's what we do. But the day comes. God willing. If it happens, if the day comes that we own a majority, let me tell you, we have some ideas that you want some of the craziest ideas we have. I can't wait for it. I can't wait for it. We would definitely make Tom or his daughter the GM. Oh, oh. Daily for sure. You think I'm joking with you. I'm actually not joking with you. But anyways, Vinnie, any final question?
