Fort Hood Death Penalty, Porsche’s 20% Price Hike & Vance Bans Microsoft's Visas | PBD Podcast #870

Elon Musk is aggressively expanding Starlink’s reach by targeting dead zones in major U.S. markets, prompting a sharp decline in stock prices for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. This move signals a direct challenge to traditional telecoms through a hybrid satellite-terrestrial network, leveraging acquired spectrum and existing infrastructure. Meanwhile, Porsche is undergoing a strategic overhaul under a former Ferrari and McLaren executive, reducing production volume, raising prices on premium models, and focusing on high-performance flagships like the Mission S to preserve brand purity. The company is also cutting thousands of jobs and streamlining operations amid past electric vehicle failures. On a broader business front, Starbucks is reportedly considering acquiring Chipotle, which could drastically increase its valuation, while JD Vance has criticized Microsoft for laying off U.S. workers while replacing them with foreign labor, prompting a temporary suspension of its H-1B visas. These shifts reflect a larger trend of corporate repositioning driven by innovation, cost control, and national policy debates. Additionally, cultural shifts are observed in youth identity, with a drop in lesbian identification among 9th graders, and concerns about social and political influences on demographic trends. The narrative underscores a powerful theme of business transformation through integrated flywheel models—where one initiative fuels another—highlighting how technological, cultural, and economic forces are reshaping industries. From space-based internet to luxury car strategy and labor policy, the discussion reveals a future where agility, innovation, and national identity are central to corporate success.

[MUSIC PLAYING] [CHATTERING] Did you ever think you would make it with? [CHATTERING] I still don't suppose I could take sweetly-thick doughries. You know this life meant for me. I don't. What's your damage? The future looks bright. That tape-- And, Jacob, it's better than anything I ever saw. It's right here. Can you borrow one of one? I send you right there. I'll think of what it said this morning. [LAUGHTER] You don't, you don't watch. Anyways, Adam Sear trying to tell us that a player-- it's a very good player, MVP type of candidate. And I keep trying to tell Adam, Adam, you don't know about sports. Especially about sports. He wants to be a sports commentator, nonstop, and Stephen A. Smith puts them in his place every time we're together. But anyways, let me tell you some good news. Elon Musk chose out of all the companies he's competing against. Like, let me go pick on an industry. So guess what industry is picking on? He's picking on Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile saying, I can provide better service for your customers than you can. And not only that, all those dead spots that you guys keep losing your phone. When I go up to Palm Beach, I lose service at around Boynton Beach or Boca every single time if you're on AT&T. Or after 210 freeway in Glendale. When you're going from Grenada Hills, and you go off that 210, you know which one I'm talking about, like Roxford and Silmar, right over that seven minute, you have no service. Well, Elon's trying to say, I'll give you service there. Or when your internet goes out, and what does the local infinity, is that what it is? Infinity's out, infinity's out, infinity's out, infinity's out, oh, infinity's out. But we forgot to tell you guys the word out. This guy wants to compete in that market. So the day he announces this, Verizon, everyone's numbers are down 7% just based off an announcement. Everybody's, he gets in that way. He's going to get into the phone business, or now we'll talk about that as well. Porsche, hires a new CEO, you know, they're new CEOs. He used to be with Porsche back in the days. Then he leaves Porsche to go become the CTO of Ferrari. Then he leaves Ferrari to go become the CEO of McLaren. Then he comes back to Porsche. And guess what he wants to do to Porsche? He wants to forerify Porsche is what he wants to do. That's a new version. So right now Porsche produces around 330,000 cars a year. And he wants to say, no, we're going to go to 200,000 cars a year. And the top line car price is I'm going to raise them by 20%. So if you pay in 250 for a Porsche 911 Turbo S, guess what? It's going to be 300,000 dollars. And they're about to announce a new October 15th. I think they're announcing a new supercar. It's called Mission S. Oh, see this mission as to predict. So he wants to go like this going high. And so a lot of people are saying, are you going to get rid of the lower level cars? Are you going to get rid of the boxer? The cayenne, all this stuff. What are you going to be doing? Because are you going to try to serve the average day person that can go by $70,000 car? That can't afford to buy a 300,000 dollar car. People are concerned. We'll talk about that. I think it's a great story. In the meantime, Starbucks. Today I'm driving in the car. I'm getting ready. My girls decide to come with me. I've got a real cute picture. I'll show you guys here in a minute. Each of them has a real-- Alisa, can you take a picture with them with both of their shirts on and send it to me? Maybe they can come visit here in a minute. Not right now, like in 20 minutes. But Brooklyn looks at me. And she says, Daddy, you can't go to Starbucks anymore while she's eating greg yogurt. I said, why can't I go to Starbucks anymore? Because they put slime. She's five years old. They put slime and Mickey told me, you can't drink it. You can't go to Starbucks anymore. It's a really. The story comes out that all the sugar situation. I don't know if you got the sugar. All the no sugar, it's sugar. Yeah, the sugar story. And guess what Brian Nickel decides to do? He whispers to the market, hey everybody. What if Starbucks bought Chipotle? Wait, what? Yes, now keep in mind, the guy was the former CEO of Chipotle. Comes to Starbucks. He fixed. He took Chipotle from $7 billion to a $71 billion company. 10X's valuation comes to Starbucks. The day announced that he's going to be the CEO of Starbucks. Starbucks's valuation goes up $20 billion. Just on the announcement, his comp was like $199 million. And people bitched about it, $150, $199 million, real money. And today he announces, what if we bought Chipotle? So can you imagine like Chipotle and Starbucks like, can I get a chicken combo bowl? What a frappuccino. Yeah, that's kind of a weird, I mean, kind of a weird flavor. I don't know what it is, but we'll definitely get into that story in the meantime. Maybe a nice guy. There's this guy. There's a lot of famous Joe's. There's a lot of famous Joe's out there. You got, you know, Joe Lanzdale, billionaire with a paleteer. You got Joe Biden, right? You got Joe Burrow. You got Joe Burrow, who is two and two, the very, Joe name it. But there's a guy named Joe Rogan, they just got a quarter of a billion dollar renewal contract in the podcast space from Spotify that that deal is apparently done as well. The announcement is out there. And a Microsoft, JD Vance, a little pissed at Microsoft, comes out and says, let me get to straight. So you decide to lay up 6,000 people, US workers, you know, like, oh, we got to cut back. While you're laying off these 6,000 American workers, you filed for 6,000 H1B visas that I know you're applying for and obtaining roughly 3000 green cards, 80% of the 6,000 H1B visas were extensions or status changes for existing employees. JD Vance comes on and says, hey, we're not doing that. He gets involved. And there's a bunch of commentary that we'll talk about that as well. Another stat that is very interesting, Vinnie's following this very closely, Adam is, like, follows the data like a stock. So the number of 9th grade girls that identify as lesbians has dropped from 30% to 17%. How weird. How? I wonder why? I wonder why that number blew up on their Biden. Were more 9th grade girls identifying as lesbians where we have military leaders who are transgender leaders that we have to watch every single day. Oh, he is so intimidating. He is so intimidating going into these meetings. Vinnie would get rid of freaking insanity and logic is back and, you know, what's always sitting next to me, this right here, the ABCs, this book right here, why do kids need to read stuff like this? For what? If they can do it, let them do it after 18 years old. Why put this in their head early on and you know what people are saying? UCLA expert. She's like, well, we can't be too hurry to tie it to anything because you may be taking that away from people, you know, and they're going through a little, leave the flipping kids alone. It's the one thing that Democrats are hurting their chances with every election they're going into because they are afraid of this, of getting canceled. But logic says, from CDC, kids don't want to be lesbians right now, they don't identify themselves as that. I wonder why. And then aside from that forward hood shooting, a lot of people have different positions on this one. Hexet comes out and says, oh, you want to kill 13 of our soldiers and you want to put 32 of them in the hospital and then you want us to feel sorry for you and just kind of give you a death penalty and you do it privately and nobody sees it. No, no, no, no, no, bring back public execution. Same day, same time, same place in front of people and we're going to live stream it. What? Yes. Will YouTube even allow that to be seen? If you think about that, it's a real thing that, you know, will YouTube allow people to see it? Probably. Or will it be something that X will and you put it on X or do you need to go on some of these crazy, you know, what did he call those black dark website, whatever dark web, to see this stuff. It is alive, you know, execution like he's going, we're going back to World War II the way you did stuff. Like you got to hear this video and we'll have a debate and I want to know what you think about it. Good, bad, ugly. Maybe your position is different. The Cornell girl, I mean, every time I was, I don't know, this Cornell, Vinnie found her Instagram. We can't give her name apparently, but we looked up who she is on Instagram. I don't what's trying to do. But that's a different conversation. But so this girl apparently more new text came out and with these new text that came out, you know what's crazy? I don't even want to tell you what they did to one of the guys. Tom was telling me, I thought it was Tom, Tom's telling me, they did. I hate to say it. This is what the news says. Hey. Good, bad. There we go. You just went to Australia, is that what you did? Is that what you did? I can't even tell. I already knew what you're thinking. Tom was like back in college, I'm like, Tom can't tell me stuff like this. I'm sitting having a serious preparation for the podcast. Tom's telling me about his college stories and then I find that it's not him. It's the guy. But I don't want to get a bolted up saying, let's just stay serious. Don't get silly. I'm reenacted. Don't. Then another stat comes out. This Jane Doe defended the gang bang and text, bang, bang, like, you know. And then we have this Cornell girl, not the Cornell girl, Kentucky. Did you see the stats on abortions and can this is one of the craziest stats you'll see? How the state of Kentucky, how many abortions they had the year before? And what happens to follow on your? The stock looks like what happened to Etoys 15 years ago. It looks like boom, a drop like this. You go from a dollar stock to a penny stock, you're out of business. And then one of the clips, if we get time to get into it, this one clip I want you to see is the six year old kid shoots the teacher. I mean, at first I'm going in the comment section because it's like, this is AI. No, no, it's not AI. No, there's no way this is real. And then after he shoots the teacher, the teacher's holding him, he's like, hey, shut up. I'll leave you. Wait. What cops show up? Shot, shot the teacher. And Vinnie's like, this is real. I don't believe this is real. I'm going to show to him when we do, we're going to do earmuffs for some of you guys that got kids. Just be prepared for it. It's a little crazy when you look at this. And in last but not least, there's a clip I got to show you guys for some of you that are grandpa's of this kid who drops her toy over the bridge and the grandpa's trying to jump over to get the the the the doll for the granddaughter and the grand. Don't make it. Right. You're making this like and the grand daughter at the end of my daughter's or watching a podcast. Where's the Brooklyn? Center. Tell Brooklyn to get in there. There she is. I baby, baby. You know, podcast, I was an emotional wreck for at least a moment. I got messages. People are saying, why are you making Tom? I'm like, what did I do? All I did is I just asked a question. Yeah. I brought some stories. Anyways, for those of you guys that joined, we have our crew in the back that. So today, one of the disclaimers I want to put for all of you is if some of the stories come out in Chile and or Spanish, just forgive us because, you know, there may be some technical difficulties with that. Remember that guy. And last but not least, I want to give a shout out to somebody. We're having dinner, weird story with Kevin Spacey, okay? And a guy in a restaurant that Alper told me, Alper, you know, you told me this place is quiet. Oh, you got the Jordan table. This is the loudest restaurant in the world. That's called PinkStake or something like that. PinkStake. Amazing. It was great. DJ Khaled was our waiter Khaled. No, no, it was Khaled. Yeah. He's from Morocco. We the best. He was phenomenal. And we're having a conversation with Evan Lohanstein, who, him and his brother, Evan and Jeren used to do a song back in the days. I don't know. Crazy for this girl. I can't believe it. And he tells the story about his dad that watches the podcast 85 year old man, Mr. Chuck Lohanstein. I want to give a shout out to you. And I know what country you are from. I'm not going to say it. And where you are right now, where you watch it from? He says, tell Patrick. Tell P.B.D. P.B.D. That I have his backpack. He bought it back. And I love the backpack. And give him a shout out that we like it. The word. 50% off. And he got 50% off. And he got 50% off. You, we appreciate the kind words. I don't know what you did, but you have two very good-looking boys that, you know, little bit two good jeans. Yeah. Little two good jeans. Little two hands. I'm like, I'm the brakes. Yeah. And we actually have Kevin Space. Banana. We had a very easy conversation. Obviously, you know, dessert. And it was good. Anyways. Okay. So folks, for some of you guys that love the numbered stuff that we do, limited editions won. This one, when I tell you it's going to go, it's going to go because it comes with a certificate of authenticity and the sticker hologram that tells you this is limited edition. And there's only a hundred of them. Couple different types of coins that we launch for the 250 year anniversary that we have. This, I have a Bitcoin coin collection in my house, a Bitcoin collection. And I've bought coins for many, many years. And I just set them aside. And I sit on them. And somehow, some way years later, I find that I 100x the valuation of whatever it is. But I want you to watch this clip. And if you're somebody that's a collects unique things, this may be something you may want to buy, set it aside, put it in your safe and don't think about it for a decade or to go forward. Some moments in history happen once. And some are worth holding on to forever. To commemorate 250 years of America, future looks bright, presents a collection built to become part of history. One Troy ounce of.999 fine silver, individually numbered, only 100 made. A limited keepsake for those who value history, collectability, and the meaning behind the moment. Own a piece of America's 250th, because the future looks bright. Yes. And so to go get these, let me put the link below if you can because there's different kinds of coins from virtue. If you can go to flb.com, do me if ever go to flb.com. If you can do that on the website, there's a website called flb.com. And if you go on flb.com, I want you to go and type coin on the top right, oh my God, this is going to be a long one. This is the simplest ask I had of you is just to go to flb.com and go on the top right and search and type in coin. Go top right. Top right. Word search. Search. It's going to be a long one. Follow that. I told you. Type in coin. And there they are. Okay. The limited edition will be on the left and the 250 challenge coin will be on the right. You can order both of them. So when you go on flb.com, make sure to go to coin and then you'll find the coins. Order them. You will see these for some of you that are watching this that didn't get a chance to get it. You will need to go to eBay to get them because they're going to sell out fairly quickly because these are limited edition and they come in a case like this numbered with the hologram. And again, this is something you buy. You set aside and you save for yourself again, go to flb.com search toward coin. You'll find a coin if you want to add other stuff to it as well. You can't. All right. Let me get into it. The first story time I want to get into is the story of SpaceX. So Elon isn't just trying to eliminate dead zones. He is trying to literally become your phone company. And when this announcement was made, let me tell you how scary it was for Verizon. Verizon stock dropped 7.3%. AT&T dropped 7.8%. T-Mobile dropped 7%. You agreed to buy roughly $8 billion worth of nationwide, 800 MHz low-band spectrum from grain management. Then the deal gives SpaceX up to 14 MHz of paired spectrum and comes on top of prior spectrum acquisitions, including roughly 19.6 billion dollars tied to Echo Star, Spectrum purchases. SpaceX also has FCC approval for 15,000 Stelian Gentoo Starling mobile constellations. So all of this stuff means what? This isn't a phone company. So they haven't yet announced that they're going to have their own Tesla competing with iPhone or competing with Android or all the other phones that are out there. This is service. So he's going to service first. So you ever have a pocket where you drive and I don't know if you guys got this or not. Every time I drive and I go up to Palm Beach, and I pass by Boca, like right between Boca and Boiton, there's about five minutes that AT&T service isn't good. Or if I fly out to go to LA and I'm on the 210 freeway, certain pockets of it, certain areas in Dallas, you don't have good service. Well, with this thing with Starlink, we're on a jet. I'm on a jet. We're going from here to Vegas. We're having phone calls. We're doing zoom calls. The internet is ridiculous and we're like, Tom, what the hell is going on with this jet? Starlink. Now when you go on flights, like, well, we're so sorry. The internet is bad. When they say their Starlink quality is great. By the way, cable, cable TV internet, infinity sucks right now. Starlink's going to come and say, don't worry about these guys. They are about to take out a lot of different markets out there, specifically these companies like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile are shivering of what Starlink and SpaceX could turn into. So Tom, how worried should they be? Well, they should be very worried. And I'm going to tell you the words that did it. So Elon Musk is going to take Starlink and bring it all the way down and provide internet service. That's not really news because, remember, a certain country, Zelensky, was begging for Starlink to get internet to the people and to its military. So that's been coming. Here's what freaked everybody out. What you just read about is the spectrum deal, exactly as you said. And then this, these words, this will be coupled to an advanced terrestrial deployment. Advanced terrestrial, you know what terrestrial means, Vinnie, Earth. So this will be connected to an advanced Earth deployment, which means that it's not just Starlink, it's also a terrestrial network with all of the billions of dollars he's got to work with and with the old T-Mobile spectrum. And those words came across. The T-Mobile spectrum and connected to a terrestrial, an advanced terrestrial deployment. What happened then is, you know, grain's own legal advisor flipped out and said, wait a minute, that service reaching customers from both space and Earth. So in other words, if there's dead zones, like maybe you're too deep inside of a building for Starlink outside, don't worry about it. Because they're also going to supplement it. So when you put those two things together, Pat, that's what freaked out all those stocks. Everybody goes, wait a minute. He's not just going to put a blanket from space. He's going to fill in gaps in major cities and concrete buildings from the Earth side and he's doing with the spectrum. When both of those things came out, boom, all the futures, what you saw, the stocks went down. They only went down seven percent. Why did they go down more than that, Vinnie? Because in every stock you have today's value based on your business and how valuable you are today and a speculation of the future. That's when you'll see Jensen Wang says he's going to sell another 9,000 chips to Google. Ninvidia jumps a point. That money hasn't hit the bank. They're talking about selling in the future. But guess what? Ninvidia stock goes up on future speculation and future business. Guess what? Verizon in these guys, the seven percent that just went down, that's part of their future business. The question's going to be, you know, how quickly can Elon do this? But you know what? Elon Musk just became, he's sort of a combination of Thomas Edison and EF Hutton. Do you remember EF Hutton? When EF Hutton talks, people listen. Remember that old thing? Of course, yeah. So he's sort of Thomas Edison and EF Hutton. Well, I would tell you this. Here's a question. Can we run a poll on the back? This is the question I got for you folks. If you knew those dead zones that you deal with with AT&T, with Verizon, with T-Mobile, and if you have any, post in the comments section. If you have your, do you know the dead zones, what areas you have at service? Name the areas that you get at service and who you're with. Well, here, it's not that bad, but like, for instance, my sister's driving on the 405 to LAX because she works at the Space Force. And there's a-- there's-- a stretch of road for a bridge. She's not going through a bridge or a tunnel. It's on the 405 from the one I want completely done. And then when they go into the hill, who's her phone with? I don't I don't know what she's not up. She's up. She's up. She's up. She's up. She's up. Do you have any dead zones yourself that you drive through here in South Florida? Yeah. Always around Hollywood, near the airport, near the airport. Yeah. Do you experience any time and your AT&T? I'm also AT&T. Absolutely. When I go into my backyard to talk to you, you'll say, Tom, I can't hear you. Tom, what's going on? Wow. Right there. And that's when I always say, I'm sorry, Pat, I walk back. For the front of my house, the back of my house, everything there. Do you? If you knew that 100% of those dead zones are going to be gone, would you switch to Starlink? I would paint my roof with Elon, start here. Are you being sarcastic or serious? I am being serious. Start here. That's that big of a problem for you. When you're a businessman and you're a salesperson, you're on the phone with a client, you're trying to confirm there's nothing more annoying than call drops than your down the street from the house. A business person's on the phone all the time. Not if you're a social media person, but a business person that's calling, talking all the time. That's a problem for me. Can we run a poll? Here's the poll. If Starlink eliminated 100% of the dead zones, would you leave AT&T Verizon and whoever you're with for Starlink? Yes, no. I'm just curious to know what people might say. My sister's AT&T. She's also AT&T. She's also AT&T. I've been with AT&T. I switched from AT&T to Verizon for two weeks. You know why I switched back to AT&T? One feature. Verizon would only let you do three-way with two people. Okay. And AT&T allows me to do three-way calls with five, six, seven people. And by the way, AT&T is screwed up. There are three-way calls lately. It's been pretty bad lately. But something tells me AT&T's three-ways work at Cornell Store right now. Yeah. And let me ask you a question, Matt. So, there's --And here's my goal. --Because we're always learning. Tom still loves that one. So, okay. So he's obviously, this is one of the reasons. Remember, I think it was like a month ago or two months ago I was asking, man, it's like every week Elon's launching something and like you don't even pay attention every day they're launching and launching and launching and launching. This is probably one of the reasons, obviously. But my question is, as the competitors, what is AT&T, because think about it, how are their satellites up there? Pat, that goes through our government. Who's launching the AT&T Verizon, you know, Sprint. Who puts all this stuff into the orbit, Tom? Is it a deal with NASA? How are they launching? How are they getting their stuff up there? How are they going to-- SpaceX is putting it up there. No, what I'm saying is, how is all the other carriers doing it? They have to go through NASA and somebody else-- No, no, no, no, no. The other carriers right now are terrestrial networks. Okay, so it's not even out there. It's all those triangular-- Okay, so it's not even out there. So he's-- Yeah, there had been things. Intel SAT had some stuff up there. There was some services that were up there. But they were like emergency services or marine services. Okay. If you've ever-- Take a look at them, SAT phone. Hey, guys, go look up a thing. Just go look up on the satellite phone 2025. And you're going to see it's a square phone with a big antenna on it. It works very well for emergencies. It's very expensive. The SAT phones. And, yeah, see there? Yeah. They're very expensive to use, but they're great if you're out there on the water. Yeah. And you have an emergency. Well, now he's like, yeah, don't worry about that. Let's just make it easy. Bro, you're going to be on a plane. You can make phone calls. That's what-- I mean, this is the-- For business people, this is incredible. Let me ask you a question, though, as the-- As the other guys, what do you do to try to compete with them? How? Oh, it's too late. Okay, that's all I'm going to say. So the only thing the only thing is is people don't like change. And there's about an age you get to where you don't like to change product because it's just habitual. It takes you a while to change away from certain things. There's people still that get physical newspapers that come in. Their age doesn't start for two. No, it doesn't. But their age may start with six. Okay, so there's certain people that have been with AT&T over rising for a long time, that they'll switch. I'm not talking about Tom. This is not a Tom thing because Tom is a technology guy. He'll switch with anybody that's making-- So then this is-- This becomes the next question. The next question is the following. Sequencing. Elon is all about sequencing. First, put all the chargers everywhere and then know that all your competitors need to use your chargers. And then you know, hey, come on, pay up. You know you're going to need me. They cut deals with all of them and they even modified their plugs to work on this. That's right. So here's the question. What is the likelihood Tom that it's sequencing? First, beat AT&T, beat Verizon, beat those guys too. Come out with a Tesla phone. What's the likelihood he comes out with a Tesla phone? Extremely. They're talking. I think that it's 70% and rising every minute because if you look, there has been a Tesla prototype or like an X prototype. And I think you guys find it, guys. Tom, keep talking. He'll look for it. But they've done their prototypes on it and people have seen. There's been the Tesla phone and there's been-- So you think 70% they'll come out with something? I don't think this is a teaser. I think this is on the bench. So you know what this means? You know who this is embarrassing for? Yeah, I think this is not just-- No, you know who this is embarrassing for? One company. No, keep going. You're close. One company this is embarrassing for. Apple. So what Apple is doing man is Apple could have done this. They didn't do this. Apple stayed on the phone side. And Apple's flywheel, if you think on the flywheel side, Elon is expanding his flywheel. What is he doing with the flywheel? Buy the Tesla, buy Starlink, buy a phone, the phone talks to the car. He's going to add his flywheel and expand it where somebody who owns a Tesla, like yesterday, I'm talking to client Matthew. And the entire time he's talking to our engagement with this client that I met through Manaktees, I think he's about to sell his business for multi-billion dollars. Very successful client of ours that we've been doing engagements for for a while. And he's talking to me sitting like this. And for about the first minute, I'm like, what is this guy doing? I see trees moving everything moment. I said, are you in a Uber? He says no. I said, are you in a Tesla? The car is driving. He says, yeah, I said, you're in the driver's seat. He says, yes. For two hours, he's in a driver's seat like this. He's just talking to me. Cars taking a place. Oh, he's on full self drive. He's on full self drive. So what what Elon is doing is he's building a full on flywheel that's going to get people to not be able to leave Tesla or have to go to get the phone if they switch and they do what we think is about to be done. Adam, your car. Yeah, I was actually just going to go to this flywheel thing because I want to give a shout out to BDC. You've been talking about the concept of flywheel for a few years now. In one of the articles, it talks about Elon's flywheel. And I'm burdo I sent you that if you're with us, it says this move with SpaceX could potentially fuel his flywheel between launch Starlink and AI. And this is what I had AI basically build out. This is Elon's flywheel. It would seem where SpaceX launches the rockets. Starlink has the satellite internet. They this mobile company you're talking about the likelihood of it basically being built is pretty certain at this point connects the phones AI or they call SI these days with the intelligence and that leads to revenue and scale. And then it goes back again. This concept of a flywheel that you've been talking about this for years. It looks like Elon is implementing. Power powered by the way the poll says if Starlink eliminated 100% the dead zones would you switch 86% said yes. And the 14% that said no are the same people that want social security to continue. It's a it's a it's a very the people that were are gonna want to switch. He's not just going to give you better service. This guy is creative enough to think about what other things to do. By the way for some of you guys that are watching this if you think you're a business person you want to get if you're moving forward nowadays and you don't have a moat with your company you're making a massive mistake because the market is very very competitive and it's moving very very fast. If you run a business you want to find out how to identify a moat for your business and create your own flywheel. We do this for 11 with different business owners from around the world go to beddavid.com fill out the information below scheduled time with one of our consultants have a call and we'll we'll sit down have a strategy session with you we do this regularly. But but the point is what's next. That's what's next with this guy. Okay what's next this guy. Oh my is is almost building such a massive thing that every world I'm talking to a chief of staff of a world leader who's in the middle of a war right now and one of their main concerns is the relationship with Ilan not not Trump because the way to guide the scribe that he says we know Trump won't be here for two more years we know Ilan's going to be a problem for the next 20 30 years. So we better get on so he is almost becoming I hate to say this and you got to be this could go very ugly very nasty as well you know depending on where his core is because the core is he is he is slowly becoming the world leader of all presidents you don't have a choice they got to come to him he doesn't need to go to them that so forget about like hey I'm the 42nd president of the United States like okay you all report to me yeah and and you all need what I have to offer because I'm doing a better job than the government is doing if he builds this into that listen this is a very very different direction this could go to if the guys got any evil tendencies in the inside who yeah just you know what I'm saying but but thank but for what for the phase value right now I love that he's at least leaning on the conservative mindset of all this walk nonsense especially the stuff that happened with his son daughter now and but look at the flywheel I just did ready for this rockets SpaceX boring company drilling into everything uh neurolink tesla cell phones in the In the future, robots ex-Twittered. to X, he's literally taking over. And I'm telling you right now, if he turns sour time, if he gets pissed off, it could go ugly. Very, very, very fast, very quickly. You know, you brought a papal. There's something very interesting. The vision pro is their mixed reality headset, you know, like kids and gaming and you and me could go into Facebook with and all that crap, right? Do you know what the last major product category was before that? Because that's a new category. They've never done those before was AirPods. Do you know what, what year AirPods was? I mean, that's at least five years ago, at least 2000s, you're right, 2016. It's 10 years. And then before that, it was the Apple Watch 2015. Apple is not looking good right now. So to, but this is the point you made, Pat, 2015 watch 2016 AirPods to 2024 vision pro. And now 2026 next year, they're going to come out with home hub. Okay, fine, but that's hardly, it's hardly like a major category. You know, you know, you know, I'm talking to a couple publishers right now about writing a book specifically on flywheel. We've talked about that because I talked about to set the vault. I don't know, two or three years ago. Yeah. We indirectly build a flywheel. And PHP, we build a flywheel that eventually are like, Hey, you can choose to leave. But good luck having the format that we have put together. It's not easy to create. But you, you know, you want to be able to do that. I think right now, if you were to score the most powerful flywheel in the world, I would still put Apple number one. I would put Amazon number two, okay, because they have some, but I'm telling you, very quickly, Elon's flywheel could pass everybody up, very quickly. And some people may even put him right now ahead of Amazon bezels as a flywheel. It could change. What is Jeff Bezos' flywheel? He's got a massive flywheel of what Amazon does. And then he's got the servers on the other end with the AWS, you know, he's got, he's got so many different things going on. But Disney was a great flywheel. But they were top 10 flywheel. They've been screwing up the last few years. Hopefully the new sea, when did you learn about the concept of a flywheel? Well, because I didn't hear you talk about this 25 years ago when I'm selling insurance. One of my leaders told me, you know, you want to be able to create a centers of influence relationships. And I'm like, centers of influence. He says, yes. So then I said centers of influence. What does that really mean? So you're trying to sell insurance. I'm 23 years old. I build a relationship with the SkyName Jamie Hep. I went in an interview with him at 21 years old. He's probably going to watch this. And for now, I was so impressed with them. I don't want to work for his company. I was leaving Morgan's. I was leaving valleys. And he was one of the guys I interviewed him. I liked him. And so, you know, so I sat there and I said, I need to build relationships that are feeding me leads. So I went and built 25 relationships, but performers that I knew I could never get to become insurance agents, but they were great relationship. One guy versus one guy's and was Eli Daphish. Another guy's and was Jamie Hep. It was all these like 25 guys. And every time we'll take him out of recorder, I would go have lunch with him. I would take him and I would take to build myself because I'm honored that you're given me your time. And I would always hand him a book. And I wouldn't ask him for anything. I'm like, how can I help you? How can I help? What do you need from me? Eventually, not all of them did anything for me. But eventually, some of them are like, you would benefit from talking to this guy. You would benefit from talking to that guy. Eli Daphish gave me 600 names. One of the names he gave me led to another guy that led to another guy led to me making 50 million dollars. For one of the contacts that introduced me to Jamie Hep and introduced me to a guy that ended up being my branch guy, compliance guy for six, seven years. And he was phenomenal at what he did. So that became a flywheel that I knew every month someone's going to give me a good lead or good referral that's going to turn into something. Dudley, he needed something from me. Dudley introduced me to Tom Ellsworth. And I don't meet Tom Ellsworth. Life would be a lot more peaceful, but he introduced me to Tom Ellsworth. And you wouldn't be as rich. Yeah. No, it wouldn't be lasting. Let's have a respect for the money. Introduce me to Matt Sopala. Tom is one of my three best friends in the world I have right now, right? Because of Dudley. So, but those are those are the relationship that you built. That was a small flywheel for an insurance guy. I'm a nobody. I'm just trying to build it. Did you call it a flywheel then when you do learn the word flywheel probably in the last 15 years, 10 years. It's not like that. I didn't hear you use the word flywheel until Adam. You haven't heard me use a lot of different words. You know, but I've seen, I've seen Gouchouk our shoe. Yeah. But the scene. I've seen a lot of words from you. That's never going to go away. But so that was one of them that we did. And so, yeah. Anyways, let's go to the next story. Next one I want to get into my iPad is there. And if we got a charger in the back, somebody can get it. I just need it. I thought one of these. I thought one of these actually don't work. I need a charger. And my two is not here. So let me go to the next story. The next story I want to get into is Porsche. And this is very, very interesting. While I'm doing this, if you can do me a favor and pull up mission, mission M, I think it's called mission. Let me see if that's what it's called or not. Let me pull this up here. Oh, there it is. Okay. Do me a favor. Type in mission. S force mission. S Porsche. Just type that up. So Porsche decides to hire a new CEO. This CEO back in the days used to work at Porsche for about 10 years or so. He leaves Porsche and he goes to Ferrari. He becomes the CTO of Ferrari for like four years after he becomes a CTO Ferrari. He goes and becomes a CEO of McLaren. Does a great job. Now for a Porsche ends up hiring him back as the CEO of Porsche. Okay. So remember, this guy's used to be with Porsche, goes to Ferrari CTO. So he's a technical guy. Then goes to McLaren. Two super car companies. Then he comes to Porsche. Then he announces instead of selling and producing 330,000 cars per year because Porsche had a horrible year 2025. Horrible. Their numbers were horrible on how much money they lost. He says, we don't need to produce 330,000 cars. Let's go to 200,000 cars, give or take. Then he says, when it comes down to our Porsche 911 tour boys that we sell for a quarter of a billion dollar give or take, we're going to raise the price on that by 20%. So he raised the price on that by 20% on what they're going to be doing. Then he says, the high end premium cars that they do, Vinnie, they want a six X, the amount of revenue they get, six X, the amount of revenue they get from their high end premium cars. And when I say high end premium cars, you can go customize. They have this one program time. I don't know what it's called shine. But there's something they have that, oh yeah, what is it called that you develop your own Porsche's Vinnie like night, gorgeous. Oh, really? But you're spending six to 800,000 dollars to design everything interior color. Everything you go to Porsche headquarters, you design it, you wait six to 12 months, 18 months, and it's only one car like that. And it's yours that they design. So it's, it's a beautiful thing that they're doing. So they want to change some of that average selling price of top models will go, it's called sound or wound, sound. Can you go to sound or wound, Porsche and just go to images to show what they look like? They're gorgeous, Vinnie. They're gorgeous. It's something I would do. And I'm in the process of entertaining doing some like that. So then outside of that, he announces that they're coming out with a new super call car called the mission S, which I believe they're announcing it and revealing it on October 15th, mission S, mission S, if you can go to mission S, Porsche and show some of the pictures, it looks like the second one. Go to the second one. Yeah, right there. I mean, that's what it looks like. Look, or these days, look at that. Click on it to see what other images they have on there. You click on a link. Vinnie, look at that. And so they're about to announce that I think October 15th, give her the top right, right? So I can see the back of it. Yeah, so I mean, do that look like nobody knows if this is it or not, by the way, some of these guys are teasing when they're releasing cars. And so at the same time, guess what else they're announcing, they're roughly letting go of 9,000 of their employees, 40% fewer management position, 20% lower development and sales cost in part of the organization. So their long term target is 15% of operation margin compared to just 1.1% in 2025 after the EV strategy problems. China's weakness and restructuring costs, so they had a big EV launch that they did. What was it called? The car was called Tycan. I don't know what the car was called. That was it. It was the Tycan. And that was the massive flop, Vinnie. Yeah, massive flip. So all electric, very beautiful, but electric and disaster. Some people are worried. And I want to talk to Tom because folks, one thing about Tom that he knows, if you spend an hour with Tom and you talk cars like this car that I bought, the Ferrari, the McLaren, what is it? The center car that we bought from a museum in Italy, Arten Senna's cars. Those are the actual tires he raised with, just so you know, I have the steering wheel of my house. I was introduced to race cars by Tom. Of course, I know race cars, but I don't know Formula One. Tom introduced me to Senna and then we ended up naming our oldest daughter Senna after Arten Senna, right? His last name is my daughter's first name. So Tom, some of the people that follow cars very religiously, they don't know if they like this idea. Some are excited about it, but some people who are Porsche, true Porsche people, are saying, I don't know if you, I want you to turn my Porsche into Ferrari. What do you think about the strategy De Nuzio's launching? I think they, I like the strategy. And the reason I like the strategy is he's coming right out of the Porsche pedigree. He started at Porsche. He has seen the rest of the supercar markets. And in nowadays, the performance needs to have a flagship. You need to have that one thing that's out there. That's why Ferrari has the La Ferrari. It had the Enzo. It had, you know, the F50. You have to have this one car up there at the top. For the very, very few, it is the flag. That is the flagship of your fleet. And what he's talking about here is you're going to have the flagship. And he's going to take some of the high volume stuff out. And you know what he's really saying? Hey, the high volume stuff. stuff, we'll let the AMG, the Mercedes AMG-C class, and we're going to let BMW-3 class-2 class. We're going to let them all do that, but we're going to go after this, and the word that is purist, the purist. If Dr. Ferry Porsche was still alive, he would be smiling, because you're trying to keep pure what your product is and not go too broad. What he's saying is, let's not go so broad, let's focus, and we'll have these cars and we'll have the super car here. Porsche will live to fight another day, because right now, what they've been trying to do, they had two problems. They tried to fight with high volume, so you had to go down to Cayenne. You had to go down, you know, market to go attract people into it. Number one, with volume. Number two, they bought in to all of the BS about going green in Europe. They bought into that with all the electric, and it was a disaster. So what he's doing, Pat, he's correcting two problems at once. We're stepping back from electric, we may still have hybrids, but we're stepping back, and we are also thinning out the product line, and you know what also we're doing? We're thinning out management. We're going to be closer to the customer. We're going to be closer to the product. So he's using this opportunity to with the EV. Do you like it? I like it a lot, because I think it brings down the purity of Porsche. Look, I'll say this out loud. I'm either the best dad ever, or the dumbest dad ever. When my daughter turned 16, and she demonstrated she was a safe driver in everything, I bought her a Porsche Macon, a three-year-old Macon, beautiful Miami Blue. She loves it. We still have it. She goes to school to place where you can't have a car on campus, and so I'm looking forward to it not being in the garage. No community college. That's what you do, but go ahead. But you know what? I love it, and you know what I'm looking at right now. I mean, we know what I drive on Fridays, and we know where my time just say it. Just do it, Tom. I'm drives a Ferrari. By the way, we create it. No joke. I'm not even kidding with you. Can somebody contact HR and tell us about the launch that we did with the speed bumps, and putting Tom's picture on it, saying Tom slowed down. The bus bump. We intentionally build speed bumps, the annoying kind on our campus. Horrible. They're mountains. They're mountains. Because Tom would drive 60 miles from one side of the hangar to the other side of the hangar. I mean, it's a runway. Guilty is charged. License and registration, please. But when I'm looking at right now, I'm telling you, I go back and I love Porsche. I love the car. And I'm looking at right now as a daily driver picking up as an extra vehicle, like a 2012, the 997.2. 997.2 was the updated different engine. You didn't have the shaft bearing problem. There's all these things, but the point I mentioned it like that because people that know Porsche are nodding right now is listening to the podcast saying, you're right. The purity of the 911 and the evolution of the 911 and everything, I think this is great. No EV, focus on the great cars, build the flagship up there for everything else. And you know what? Porsche lives to fight another day with the same purity that they had in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I have a question for you. Yes, go for it. Not the car, guys. So not even trying to insert my opinion here. We were at Casa de Angelo the other day. And remember, we got dropped off. And I was like, look at this car. Beautiful. It's incredible green Porsche. It was actually the first time I was like, wow, I really like this car. Here's my question for you, Pat. Where does Porsche rank in the top 10 of luxury car brands? What is who? Where does Porsche rank in the top 10 of luxury, you know, you have Rolls Royce, you have Aston Martin, you have it's by the way, it's all in the eye of the tour. Right. But I would tell you as a log like you put Ferrari McLaren all that. Where does Porsche at least some people would say top three, but some would say top five. I want to know what you think. You've you've you've had a Ferrari, you've had a Corvette, you've had a Lamborghini, you've had to shift that stuff. I drive a Porsche turbo and 911 turbo is. It's my favorite car of all time. And I buy back to back every time a new one comes. I buy a new one. I will always have a turbo as long as Porsche doesn't go woke. I will always have a turbo as a micro. No Jaguar these days. No, no Jaguar is Vini. It's not that's not a Jaguar Vini likes Jaguar. He worked with me above a Mercedes. I had, by the way, I what kind of Bugatti you got, like type of thing, like what you're saying, Porsche is in your top. I mean, this is to this is the way to look at cars. Yeah. Okay. And I'm and I'm being. My guys would ask me and I would say, what kind of a car do you see me in? And I said, Matt belongs in a Rolls Royce. He does. Matt's a Rolls Royce guy. Vargas was a Ferrari guy. He just looks perfect for Ferrari, right? It's it's the personality of what I see the individual driving. Okay. And I think cars, you know, when you ever see somebody date someone, you're like, you guys don't look like they don't look like they match. That just doesn't add up. Yeah. He's just got a lot of money. You ever see something like imagine if Shaq came out of a mini Cooper. So you have to do the character of the individual, the character of the individual, the character of the individual matches the car. And the car says something about you. What does it say? Really? Are you being serious? I want to know your opinion. He's in an Uber though. He wanted to say about Adam. He's in an Uber. You're driving an Uber. Says something about you. Yeah. I'm not driving. No, no, but but taking Uber's is a form of saying something. I want to be nimble. I don't want to be committed and tie 20 things. Outdoor cat. But that. No, but that's, but that's what it says of someone. But to me, anybody that drives a car, it says something about that. What does it say about you? Like driving Porsche. Yeah. I, I, I want the full experience of driving 200 miles an hour if I want to, but I want the day-to-day luxury smooth experience. That's turbo less. That's turbo less. I can afford to go get any of the crazy cars out there. I, I drove an SF 90. I didn't like it. I had a 450 eight. It's Italian. I loved it. At a Lamborghini of Enidore, Jen would never go on to date in that car because the car was uncomfortable. Had the Iates, had the dons, had all these other things. Porsche, turbo nine, like Tom and I were talking about him getting a California. Every time I see Tom in the California, it's perfect. That's Tom to get out of a California. It's a beautiful car. What's your favorite car ever? If you can only have one car to drive right now, that's your favorite car. It's not even close. It's the poor. You have to understand Porsche, turbo, a Porsche 911, Turbo S. That's you. It's the perfect car. It's the perfect. Porsche, there is no substitute. It's really a very, very special car to have. Let's go to the next story. Next one I'm going to get to is Microsoft and other companies suspended from after the green car programs. If you can pull up the clip with JD Vance, I'm going to get into a couple of these things. So, Vance gets furious with Microsoft because Microsoft just laid off 6,000 US workers while filing 6,000 H1B visa petitions and obtaining roughly 3,000 green cards, 80% of it 6,000 H1B visa filings were extensions or status changes for existing employees. Microsoft says it pays the H1B visa workers. The same is comparable US employees and says it's H1B visa wages are amongst the highest in tech and JD Vance is not buying it and here's what he has to say. Go for it. There has been no company in the United States, unfortunately, that has abused this system more than Microsoft. And let me just give you a couple of statistics on this. So, in the last year, Microsoft, and I want to be clear about the data here. So, let me check this. But Microsoft laid off last year 6,000, 6,000 American workers. At the same time, the company benefited from 6,300 H1B visas and almost 3,000 green cards. In other words, if you do the math, for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants. Now, that is a scandalous system that we've allowed in this country for far too long. But thanks to the work of this task force and thanks to the empowerment of the President of the United States, we're going to stop it. Because thanks to an ongoing investigation, we have decided to suspend the program for Microsoft, which means they will no longer be able to apply, no longer be able to take those H1Bs and apply for permanent resident status within the United States of America. Now, our message to Microsoft and to any other foreign or domestic corporation is quite simple. We obviously want you to thrive in the United States of America. We want people to invest in the United States of America, particularly the American technology sector. We're the biggest boosters of your industry. We want you to continue to grow and to employ a lot of people, but we want you to employ American workers. And so our message to Microsoft is you're a great American company, but you've got to hire great American workers. You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign indentured servants. Tom, do you agree with them? Yes, I do. And now I would say this. Let me tell you, you know, you know how you level a garage. I heard this once and he says, you put plastic tape all the way around it and then you just fill the floor with a little bit of water because the water will find its level. What do I mean? I tell you, businesses will go in the direction of incentive. Wouldn't you say Pat? Entrepreneurs will go in the direction of path of lease resistance, generally speaking. And entrepreneurs will take the challenge to cover a gap. Excuse me. This is the problem. We showed this the other day. This is the visa flywheel. You put this flywheel out there and business like Microsoft is going to use it. That's what happened. happen. And this blue fly will, where guess what? H1B turns the spouse to an H4. They open an LLC. And that's exactly what was happening at Microsoft. You could see companies that were supplying 20 to Microsoft here, 20 to Microsoft there. And so they're looking at it. Stop it. But you know where Washington needs to stop it? Right here. It's not about stopping Microsoft. It's about stopping a program that's being exploited. And if you don't like the way, it's like when, when Hillary said, you're using, you're using taxed loopholes for everything. And what did Donald Trump say? You changed it. Yes, I am. Just like her donors do. Great point. So we need to change this. Why aren't they, why aren't they Tom? Why aren't they doing this? I think there's, there's, there's money in it. And there's also liberals like the back door for foreign workers. They don't like the, they don't, the globalists love this, globalists love this back door for foreign workers love this. People. That's who loves this. So, so let me, let me ask this question. Say Jay, so by the way, what I like about what JD is doing. Here's what I like about what JD is doing. Each president becomes a policy president. Like if you go to Obama, Obama became what? The health care president, right? Obama care. Okay. If you go to Bush, Bush became the what? The son, not the father, Bush became wartime president 9/11, you know, the biggest legislation he had was the Patriot Act. Patriot Act. That's right. Security and home and security. By the way, some people would say that wasn't necessarily anything good long time. And it also brought us, you know, that's right. Airport security. So what do you call Trump? What kind of president will see? He was what? He was a, what president would say? So far he's been, he's been, he's been the America first president who's, who had issues with tariffs, but closed the border as promised almost immediately. I'm going to tell you this. If JD events drives this as one of his top three, there are a lot of people that agree with him on this. There, there, there are a lot of people that agree with him on this. And he should make this his blue ocean strategy. He should make this his blue ocean strategy. He should, if, if he doubles down on this and wham, wham, wham every time, if, if he goes to the president and say, Hey, let me have a victory here. Okay. And his victory is he's able to make some changes to the H1B visa. And he goes on a campaign trail. And he says, here's what I did. I'm the one that came up with XYZ legislation. And because of that, we were able to get Microsoft instead of hiring 28,000 people from this to bring 28,000 American jobs. And we created this many jobs and then with this company and that company and this company, that is a very good top three issue of America first message that he can give. That's different than Trump's position. So I think, I think there's a very good opportunity here for JD to do this because I think there's a lot of guys that would love to see this happen with them. An executive order. Let's, let's take away the H4. Let's take away the ability to make an LLC and then process H1Bs. Let's lower the number of H1Bs. Let's do it at the federal because remember, remember in Billy Bean walks in the, into the office and he says, listen, tonight says I went had he had he at first. And he said, and he says, the lineup cards mine. This is over. I got panion first. I don't think so. Why is that panion place for Detroit? You traded panion. That's exactly right. Now you want, you want JD vans to say to Microsoft, no more the H1Bs. Hey, we're going to use the laws as a written. I don't think so. Why? The H1B law has been moved to Detroit. Adam, what do you have? That's the Jeanine. Yeah, smart. I think this is right up JD vans' alley. I'll give, I'll give a plot and then I'll give some criticism. I, I think in many ways JD vans when it comes to foreign policy is in over his head. I don't, I generally don't know if he is best skilled with that compared to someone like Marco Rubio. Rubio's running circles around him. I will give JD vans credit. When it comes back to this H1B situation, even though his wife is Indian, keep that in mind and the vast majority of H1Bs are Indian, he's pretty, he's pretty hard line on this, bringing back American jobs, protecting the American workers, understand the word that he kept using indentured servants. That's, that's a word he used multiple times. That's one step up above a slave indentured servant to. Do you know the definition of an indentured servant? It's usually someone who commits to a specific time period. It's usually seven years for you, you're legally bound by a contract in exchange for work, in exchange for basically paying your bills, your housing, your transportation, and basically eliminating debt. That concept of basically importing these foreign workers, I don't know the, what they have to do holding their passport, holding their visa, seven years, whatever that is, that servitude comes with a price. It's like that to give you the fact. It is like that. They can't work for any other company, because that company holds the H1B, which is how they work here. Yeah, they're stuck. And at the end of the day, we're saying that they're importing, I think you said the number of 6,000 imported workers at the expense of 6,000 American workers. So if JD Vance wants to own that America first lane, I think he can do a damn good job doing that domestic. Oh, I, if I'm his guy in his corner, I'm like, dude, keep hitting this, keep hitting this, keep hitting this. I think it's a very, by the way, what we like is here. My frustration with Byron Donalds was, I want to see us debate issues, because I think that makes everybody tighter. And we all have blind spots, right? I like that JD's going to have, hopefully, this is one of his top three issues, because it'll be interesting to see what Rubio, the Rubio had a phenomenal moment yesterday when they're talking about Kimberly Guilful. He's like, what are you talking about? I'm not going to play this game with you. By the way, if you have that clip in the back, I don't even want to get into this clip. I just want to show you to, to the audience that there's two good qualified guys going into 2028. And I really liked the way Mark Rubio handled himself there saying, I don't play this game with you. You don't get to do this with us and ask us questions like this to pin us against each other. I'm not going to do this. He's establishing and managing the expectation with media. This is how you deal with me. I'm not one of these guys you come and try to scare off and put me in a corner known what article you're going to write on me. I've been around the block for a couple of decades. You're not going to do this to me. Just watch how we single handedly handle this one journal. Let's go forward. Press the button. I'm not playing this game with you. Okay. You guys write a story and then your editors tell you, make sure you get a comment from him on something we haven't seen. Okay. You guys are not going to be our only source of information in the world. I'm sorry to tell you that. And so I want you to understand. No, that's not the way the process is going to work. Well, the first of all, the process doesn't work like this. We don't conduct these things on a press conference on a tarmac in a foreign country because you wrote a story or somebody else wrote a story because some source gave it to you. So get that out of your head because that's never the way it's going to work with me. It's a game that's been played for a long time, but it's not a game we're going to play. We're conducting serious business here. You know what I'm supposed to write there. I don't want commentary on this. I just want to show the fact that JD Vance is doing what he's doing and he's doing what he's doing. And guess what? I want both of these guys to be in the race in 2028. The Republican party needs both of them in the race for 2028. You have to understand what happens. These guys, like yesterday, there was a debate between Mike Rogers and Abdul Al-Sahid, if I'm saying his name correctly, because I want to give them back to both of them. And in one of these exchanges, Mike Rogers goes on and he's challenging and he always calls himself a physician. You're not a physician. You're a doctor. You only did this for a year. You keep talking about 10 years. He didn't do 10 years and he's calling them out, right? He keeps playing this game of what he's got going on. You need these like as of yesterday, what percentage of you had ever watched a video or clip of Mike Rogers? If you're watching this, do me a favor. Who that's watching a podcast right now? Can you run this poll real quick? Who has ever seen a clip of Mike Rogers? Never me. Let me say it again. How he presents himself on the big stage? Run the poll? Please say, never half, maybe once, many. Those are the three options if we can run the poll on the back. I want you to watch this clip and tell me if you were impressed by this guy. Just watch him. See if you like the way he handled himself in this specific clip. There's a lot of different clips of going against Abdul Al-Sahid, which is the Michigan debate that's taking place. Go for it. What it wants to do is he's kind of like a glitchy AI chatbot is say the same thing over and over and over again. But let me tell you this, he has taken money from groups associated and support the Muslim Brotherhood. He has taken money from individuals on his campaign who openly support Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda. He's taken money from the George Sorrow's family. What we found out is that this thing goes way back. Apparently they paid for his education and Columbia. Now they're paying for his campaign. By the way, that's a billionaire last idea. What degree did I get a claim? I'm going to give you a 30-second review. What did you agree to get a claim? And get interviewed by him, not by you. As a doctor, I understand exactly what's happening. None of this is just say the same thing. He says I like to say the same thing. He's done the same thing over and over and over again. You know what that is? Vote to keep your prescription drug prices high. Nineteen times a million dollars alone from big farming. Another million dollars from the health insurance corporations. Of course he is touting their talking points. This is a guy who has not been serious about providing people health care his entire career. What he has been serious about is making sure that he can monetize his time in public office, $14 million. Two yachts. I'm McMatchain in Florida. So at the end of the day, I'm a doctor. I want people to have health care. All right. How many seconds do we have to leave in the meantime after this? 30 seconds. Let me talk. How does a guy who's had less than four years of work experience-- by the way, on the campaign trail said he had 10-- on a luxury property in the United Arab Emirates. He's worth a million bucks. Somebody has to tell me how this math works. A, his facts are wrong, those are lies. But he is consistently not telling the truth. Well, let me just say what he's lying. So he lied about being a physician. He lied now about being an Egyptian citizen or not being an Egyptian citizen. I can't figure out what he is today. But this, this, this, this, he's talking about. He's trying to tell you where he wants you to be. That's a con, man. What, my friend? Pause it right there. Now, I'm, of course, showing this clip because this is the clip that showed up on my algorithm. I was impressed by the way he handled himself. But Abdulla's side is also very good on camera. So he knows how to handle himself great as well. We need more Republicans that have the brass to go debate, especially those that are running for office. Specifically, you're running, you want my vote? You want my vote? We need more of them to go out there and debate others to present their arguments. And I like that JD is going out there saying H1B visa. And I like that Marco Rubio is saying, "Hey, this relationship with media, you're not going to play the game with me. We need more of this because on the back end, let me give you a stat." And this is kind of leading me into this one conversation I want to have with you guys as a parent of four. My two girls are running around here. Umberto, if you can show one of the pictures of my daughters that came into the office, they've been here with me today. And in a morning, I'm doing my five mile bike ride that I do every single morning. And my baby Brooklyn comes in and she says, "Can I come to the office?" Then I want to come to the office. Can you zoom in with the pictures of shirts? One of them has a shirt on that says, "Daddy's number one row dog." That's her. She always wants to go places with me. And Brooklyn's got a shirt that says, "Daddy's fireball." Okay? And they're in the office right now running around with Alicia doing their things. Let me tell you what happened. A stat comes out. And what is the stat from CDC? In 2021 during COVID, 30% of a ninth grade girls identified as lesbian. That number is dropped from 30% in 2025 to 17%. A 13% drop off. Why? Why? It's so, the left is so worried that some of the folks are like, well, let's not jump to conclusion on why this is and the reasonings for it. It's probably because of this and we don't even know if these numbers are right or wrong and all this other stuff. Why did you go from 30% to 17%? The biggest decline appears to be in the bisexual identification. The rate among boys has been comparatively stable and the sharpest movement is among younger teenage girls, not older teens. Why? They're more impressionable. So you want to get them there to confuse the hell out of them. Why do you want to do that? Jean Twinge from San Diego State Psychology, professor who analyzes CDC data called it a free fall, but she also explicitly said that causes unclear. Oh, really? You want us to bite unclear? Give me a flip and break. It's because of the pandemic isolation that all of a sudden I become gay or lesbian. Oh, changing of social norms, social media influence, political climate, changes in how teenagers use labels or maybe because you were trying to indoctrinate. I don't have a problem if you're lesbian, gay, bisexual, whatever you are. At a phenomenal dinner with Kevin Spacey two days ago. Last night or two days ago? Was it like, maybe it was last night? Two days ago. Phenomenal dinner. I don't care who you like. I, we sat there. We laughed. We told stories learned about his father, learned about the fact that the guy did a. Went to school with Val Kilmer. They've been best friends since 13 years old. They went to the same life with Chad Ford High School. And they did this one play and then Val told them, you got to get into acting, come, get your ass over to New York. They went to the same acting school. Val Kilmer graduated two years earlier. You know, Kevin Spacey drops out. Then he starts doing all these Broadway shows. Then one guy notices how great talented he is. Then he goes and does usual suspects. One of the greatest movies of all time. Cause you're so sick. I admire the guy's gifts. So this isn't like, well, you're, you know, what is this something phobic that you take home? No, no, here's my problem. Let adults make that decision. Not kids. If Adam's 18, he wants to be gay, it's not my business. If he does. It's not my, if he chooses at 47 years old to come in and say, Pat, I've met my lover. His name is Larry. That's his business. I won't be upset. Likely it of that happening is slim. But it's not my business. But if you start talking to third graders, ninth graders, stay the F out of our kids' ways. FYI, Pat, why are you talking? How did you go from JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Abdullah aside, microaggers to this story. Let me tell you why. Conservatives. If you, all you start thinking about is your strategic reasons for run or not to run, we're on a crusade right now. One of these guys gets elected. All this bullshit's coming back. And they're going to get hold of your kids. And most, most people, you can be concerned. Most people cannot afford to put their kids in private school. It's expensive, very expensive. So there's a level of urgency of knowing this is not the time to play games of dodging debates or dodging this or dodging that. Play offense. Talk about the stuff we stand for. Talk about the stuff we're excited about. Talk about the stuff that makes good families. Raises healthy kids. Encourage people to have a lot of kids. If you hang out with me, I'm a bad influence. You're probably going to have four kids or more. If you're somebody that's with me working with me, I'm going to tell you to have a lot of kids. So for me, when I saw this data, Vinnie, your reaction when you saw how LGBT nine great girls went from 30% identifying us, lesbian to all of a sudden, 17%, 16%. This is it, by the way, that chart. Go ahead. How many times are you going to hear on this podcast? Words talk, number scream, okay? And what we're seeing is when the cultural pressure comes off, this is what happens. Just think, guys, really think about it. During the Biden administration, LGBTQ was fricking. The White House had massive price celebrations. There was a transgender dude with breasts, flashing on the White House lawn. A pride flag, everything. Transgender this. The administration was pushing it, pushing it. The Vice-Comola Harris, bringing all these guys into the White House, and then in the schools, in the libraries, fighting, by the way, fighting to keep these books. I forgot which book it was. It was an insane book that they were fighting to keep in there. I forgot, I don't remember the name of it, but it was bad. And then also sprinkling, you know, China with TikTok, dumping all that stuff, which they, we realized, oh my god, they're freaking brainwashing the youth. And I'll look at the difference of what a strong president does, okay? Look at the difference who's willing to stand up and completely change the direction of the country, the culture shifted. It's still unbelievable to me that Dylan Mulvaney, guys, remember how this dude was praised? He was fricking everywhere. Bud Light disaster, loses billions of dollars. Okay, now where is he? I think he's like doing some play, God knows, and you gone, I don't know where the hell he is. He's like, I am still a girl. Nobody gives a damn, 'cause they were pushing it down. They were trying to force it on us too much, Pat. And all the videos of the military, guys, when it comes to the military, and I'm sorry if you're out there and you're gonna be sensitive, I want killers. And as much as you don't wanna, like, admit it, a few good men when Colonel Jessup, Jack Nicholson was like, you need me on that wall. You want, I want killers out there protecting us. You don't want, how many videos were these transgender guys in military uniform dressing up as fricking dogs and getting beaten with like, what are we talking about, okay? And don't ever, don't ever forget that. And I love that you made that point, Pat. We're not a fear porn podcast. But I'm telling you, all your other nonsense aside, they're trying to make it like the left is this attractive. Ooh, DSA free stuff. The day a democratic president comes into office if God forbid it happens in 2028, all this is coming back. And if you open 'em out, they're gonna shun you and they're gonna punish you. And the second thing is the border that we're talking about, this El Sayyad and all this stuff, 'cause all this Muslim brother and all that stuff, don't let that good looking smile and whatever fool you. There's a mission behind what these guys are trying to do and they're trying to bring it into this fricking country. Border open, disaster coming again. If we let these people come into power. Period. Tom, what are you at with this as a father of two girls? I am on one simple page. Education causes everything and indoctrination is a form of education. And when you indoctrinate and then you accept, you're telling kids who maybe just going through phases, maybe speculating to do it and you're encouraging it and you're encouraging kids that feel left out by social media, feel ostracized, don't have good socializations to sit quietly and say, "Wow, maybe this is my problem." And we came out of COVID where we took all those kids out of school and we did it. And so now what's coming back, you know what's coming back? Not just common sense, but if kids were left to themselves, their natural order is coming back. They're natural things. This is really important and what Pat said about where only one more guy coming in is all coming back. Look, this is an important election and I'm going to go hard right here. This is about turnout. Republicans, you've got to turn out. Conservatives, you've got to turn out. Independents that lean conservative, you've got to turn out. The early vote will always favor the Dems. They vote early more often. They have a grant-- - Legals, they collect out. Yeah, yeah, there's some of that going on. The Republicans and the conservatives and independent who are conservative tend to vote in person and later. So don't-- be deceived by early counts. You need to be there. We need to be turning out for this election because your local representative could be a difference. Do I think we're going to keep the house? Nope. Do I think we can keep the Senate? It's going to be damn close, but I think we could, but it's going to be very, very close. But this is what's hanging in the balance. You want to have this conversation about, oh, I don't like what they're doing. I don't like what they've done. I love doing that. Well, then don't let them get back in power. Turn out. It's all about turnout because that's the weapon against this path. I can explain what I think is happening, but to stop it, we all have to get active. It's two things for me. One is voter turnout, Tom. You know what the other thing is? Choose better candidates. That's on the party. I totally get that with you. To me, it's put better candidates for us to get excited about. I'm telling you, Tom, you know how we would do things, Tom. You and I. This is not, and we're not applying for a job. Trust me, we don't, this we're not interested. But if we, Tom, ran the RNC, we would have a list of 500 names, and on the 500 names with a deep bench, you know what we will look at? Their capabilities, their ability to communicate, their ability to get out there and do social media and be creative and funny and then arguments debating all of that stuff. You would measure them and you would say, here's the seven people to get behind. And then some of the people you want them to run, you got to sell them on running. You got to also go to certain people and say, you got to run. I don't want to run. I'm telling you, you got to run the same way some people get phone calls and say, I want you on a White House administration for this shopping. I don't want this shop. Three other people calling you to tell you, you got to take this job. You're doing it for your country. I think it's also an era of us imposing a little bit and saying, hey, you may want to consider running. Adam, your thoughts on this? Well, I think there's two parts of the story. There's the evidence that women are becoming less gay. These ninth grade girls, it was up to 30% last year or last administration now down to 17, almost cut in half. The most shocking statistic though is about the boys. The boys rates have stayed exactly the same for about a decade. So this indoctrination of our youth through it be a TikTok and the feminist movement and the woke movement, the LGBT and everything like that has permeated through women, but it has not basically broken through through boys. So here's the challenge you always see with boys is like men are struggling, young men are struggling. What's going on with young boys? Yeah, they're struggling to make sense of what the hell is going on in this world with women because you hear things with toxic masculinity or or young men are afraid to even go up and talk to a girl. God forbid you have sex with a girl. She can accuse you of rape. Who knows what's going on? So, young men are like, what the hell's going on here? Because I remember growing up, a boy would like a girl and he asked her on a date and they go on a date. These days, young men are basically so intimidated by these feminist boss babes that they're trying to make sense of all this. Here's what I think is happening. These young women, especially via social media, are so impressionable and basically it's cool to be trans. It's cool to be LGBT. It's cool to identify with the cool crowd, right? At one point it was cool to be gay. Then it was cool to be trans. Trans was the new trend, I believe you said, Vinny. The whole concept of feminism and boss babes and I don't need no man, I don't even want a man because I'm going to be pretend to be gay is a fallacy. I think that the reality is with the Trump administration and basically defunding USAID and basically saying we're done with this woke nonsense. There's two camps at this point. There's the camp that's saying we're done with this and we need to have a normal traditional conservative value driven life or woke 2.0 which AOC talks about and the average American, if they're given a choice between woke 2.0 and common sense hopefully chooses common sense. You see the key word in that sentence is what? Hopefully. Hopefully, which I bank on that. By the way, can you pull up the poll from Kentucky on abortions? Here's a poll from Kentucky on abortions that came out. If you can pull up the poll, you know which one I'm talking about on Twitter? Look at this here. Very interesting. Kentucky abortions have dropped from 4,400 in a year to three. Not 3,000 to three. Can you zoom in on the charts so people can see this? So check this out. In 2005, they were average in 3,776 abortions. Next year, 39, 100 and 4,000. It's ranging around 4,000 drops to 3,200, 3,188. Then it goes back up record breaking year to 4,441. Then drops to 2550 and I look what happens next. Drops to 3. 3. And then drug induced abortions drops to also the same number. 10, 9 and 5. Total abortions. How did this happen? What happens here? Is it policies? Is it the fact that we're no longer doing it at hospitals? And then what are you doing? Some states that they say you can't come and do that 24 weeks. You can't come and do that. They all because it's ran by states. Massachusetts is just implemented a law where you can have an abortion up until the date of birth. So these are the types of things that for some people, you know, and by the way, pro-life pro-choice, this was a massive, massive topic that took place with Roe v Wade when Supreme Court went the other direction. A lot of people lost their minds when this took place. But again, what values are you wanting to support? We have to keep driving because there is results. Trust me, sometimes when somebody becomes a president, we expect a hundred percent of that person's promises to become a reality. You know how many times that's this happened in the history of America? Zero. No one's going to keep a hundred percent of promises. You know why? One, they were campaigning on a couple of them to see what you liked. Two, some of them wasn't there. Some of them was their people that said it. One hundred percent Epstein files that Cash Patel Trump never said that. But Trump did say John F. Kennedy assassination. Trump did say 9/11. So you can hold them accountable to that. Then you can go to, "Hey, borders are going to be closed." He did it. Hey, LGBTQ. Hey, Roe v Wade, and then Supreme Court, tariffs, Supreme Court, no. Voter ID was top three on my list, Supreme Court, no. There's a whole system behind this. But the idea of, does my vote even matter? It does. It does. Except I wish the base was, it's like what the Yankees are doing right now. I don't even want to go on the Yankees rant. We'll do that at the end. I got a lot of thoughts on the Yankees and I, I don't know, as a minority, how much stuff I can't say. I'm going to give you some of my thoughts. But your voter base is not happy with you Yankees. Now, how many messages I get? You guys have no clue what you're doing. What the fuck? I'm like, dude, I get it. And the voter base of the Republican Party wants to see you put out better products and let them compete. Don't choose your favorite kids too early. Who's going to run the family one day? I don't know. I'm not going to just pick one of my sons or my mother. No, I don't know who's going to be the leader. But it's whoever's going to set the best example as an individual. And then that person becomes a leader of the family. Last time I'm having dinner at Casa de Angelo with three of our clients that we ended up partnering up with and we own around 15% of the company. I think this business is going to sell for anywhere between a quarter billion dollars to half a billion dollars. And we're having dinner with them. And there's three brothers. Okay. And they build a beautiful business that's got a five and a half million dollar EBITDA. When we met them, it was like a one and a half two million dollar EBITDA. It's going to be a five and a half million dollar EBITDA this year. I think next year they'll do 10 million in EBITDA. And hey, how are you guys close? Why do you guys get along? Well, it used to be this and then it was this and then it was that and then it was this and then it was this. Let people compete to see who becomes the alpha. Don't cherry pick and endorse just because they're your favorites too early. Never pick your rabbits too early. And I think the Republican party is picking their rabbits a little too early and it's a mistake. Let them fight for it. Let them get their faces bloody. That's how this thing works. You're supposed to go get your asses handed to you and then somebody watches and says that guy's got it. She's got it or they don't. Don't just say I like this guy because I have dinner with him. He's going to be my guy. I think it's a mistake that the Republican party's making and some people may say it's part of Trump because Trump is a guy that likes people that like him. But we got to let him fight a little bit more. We got to not like, you know, when you build an insurance agent, she kind of picks on people you like and I made them mistake. I picked two guys that I liked a little too much and they weren't the ones. They just weren't the two ones that wanted to build a company. They did not want that kind of pressure. So I backed off. I'm like, you're not the guys. I'm going elsewhere. And it was other people that were willing to take on the pressure. So I think the Republican party's got to let some of these guys fight for the position instead of just be handed over to them. There's nothing worse than you can do than give hand handouts to candidates. I don't like handouts in tired of my programs. I don't even like handouts to certain people that haven't earned the right to get the position. Get in the freaking arena, get your ass handed to get bloody. You earned it. That's your job. Go get it. Let me get to the next story. Next one I want to get to is Ford Hood. So you guys see what Hexat said. Oh yeah. I loved it. So Hexat comes out and says, wait, let me get the straight. You want to get out there and kill 13 of our soldiers, hospitalized 32 of them. And then we have to quietly do an execution. No, we're not doing that. That's not how this is going to be. I want you to watch this. You know what I'm talking about when this happened. I think it's Ford Hood. If I'm not mistaken, Vinnie, watch what Hexat has to say in the fact that they're doing a first public execution. I believe since the World War, I think it's World War two. We haven't done this. And they want to live stream it at the same time that this happened. The live public execution. Watch Hexat here. Go for it. Exitution by firing squad. Army Major betrays his country. Radical Islamist kills a bunch of Americans at Ford Hood. Of course, we're going to do it at Ford Hood. We're going to do it on a Thursday. We're going to do it at 1 o'clock, which is when he did it. That's going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad. Yeah, and mince. since World War II, since we've done that, well, I kind of like the mentality we had in World War II, which was win, which was, understand, when the enemy attacks, you need to stand your ground. So it was radical Islamist terror attack. Remember what Obama called it? Workplace violence? I mean, that's what we're up against. That's the world view we're up against. It's workplace violence, C-D-E. We know what it is. It was a radical Islamist attack in uniform inside the ranks. And so he's gonna get a firing squad of soldiers as it should be. And we'll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it's public, because people need to understand that this is a, there's serious consequences for these types of things. Do you, has Major Hassan made any final request, reach out to the President, anything like that, to your knowledge? - Don't care. - We'll see him on December 3rd. - December 3rd, Fort Hood, the Ladies and Gentlemen, Secretary of War, - I'll see you right there. - Thank you very much. - That's the card of the answer. - Don't care. I don't care if you want pizza as your last meal. Don't care. I don't care if you want Shwarma. I don't care if you want, you know, any kind of chicken, steak, don't care. So there's some people that are saying that's cruel, that's cold, public execution. Why would you want to do this? And by the way, if they live stream it on YouTube, I don't even think YouTube's gonna allow it to be live stream, right, on some like this taking place. To all of you guys, run a poll. Do you support public execution? Do you support public execution of the man who killed 13 soldiers and hospitalized 32 Vinny? What is that? - 100%. You have to start sending a message, okay? 'Cause guess what? Some of these same type of people, this major in the Dal Hasan, they're still here. They're in the United States, okay? Just to give everybody a heads up, 'cause I know this was in 2009, November 5th. He's an army psychiatrist, and he's a major. I don't know if you guys understand the ranking level of this. You have to have a degree. You have to go through all the, you know, all the schooling to become an officer. He was, his job is to help American soldiers, okay? That are dealing with mental issues from serving in their country in all types of situations. He opened fire on his troops at Fort Hood, Texas, and he was shouting, allow walk bar. Pat mentioned it, 13 Americans, 32 wounded. Many, the majority of them were unarmed. One of his victims that I want people to remember was 21-year-old, Army Private, Francesca Vales. She was pregnant, okay? Just came back from Iraq. Witnessers heard her crying on the floor about her baby, and this guy Hassan continued firing, and shooting all the wounded soldiers on the ground. So investigators discovered that he had communicated with radical Islam cleric, Anwar Al-Waki, before the attack, he admitted he had switched sides, which he considered the war against Islam. So, and here's my thing. I think, and I know people are gonna be like, oh, you're a Christian, listen, people say eye for night. In this type of situation with the enemy here, you have to show them what we're going to do. He's been alive, mind you guys. Seventeen years, sitting in a prison, your tax dollars are feeding him, are housing him, are giving him all this closing and everything. For 17 years, what about the 13 families? What about the 32 other people that have had injuries? They can't walk, they're paralyzed, or whatever that they live with, that trauma, that a psychiatrist, they're probably seeing psychiatrists now because of what this psychiatrist, who they trusted, did to them. Okay, and I love this message that this sends, Pat. Anybody thinking about committing a freaking terrorist act against Americans needs to understand something. The consequences are serious. You don't get to kill American citizens, betray the country, and then sit in a jail cell, like this, forever. Okay, and if you're gonna, Pat, that's my thing. Streamline this thing. You, if you're convicted, you have to definitely, what are we waiting for 17 years? A state of execution, this, it's absolutely poetic to me too, that they're doing it at forehead, the same exact minute, the same hour that he did it. Zero hesitation, you fully sip. What, 100%, and I'm gonna tell you something else, I wish there was a way, 'cause he's doing it for Islam, Pat, to follow him through the afterlife, because I wanna see his face when he realizes that 72 version, non-sense mumble jumbo, it ain't happening, Captain. There is no versions, there is nothing, you're freaking believing a false, freaking God, and teaching you to murder. What, tell me the religion that says murder innocence, and we got virgins waiting for you in heaven. If that, if the, the sale, by the way, the sale, Pat, you're, we're sale, you're, we sell stuff. That's your sale, it's boggles my mind that people go, yes, I'm all in, I'm all in to go do that. So God bless those 13 Americans who lost their lives, and I hope that their families on that day are gonna have some peace. Dude, do you have a different opinion? Yeah, well, I have a, I have, here's what I'll say. I'm with Vinnie for the most part on this. By the way, 86% of people watch and support the public execution, 14% said no. - 86. - Again, 86, 14. Listen, this guy was a major in the, what branch? - Army. - And the army. Okay, and if you, listen to the words he said, he described the attack as G-Hot. So I don't know how you wanna define G-Hot, it's an internal struggle, it's an external struggle. Whatever you think that the Quran basically says, anyone who basically, basically subverts the American institution, becomes part of our military, comes in, practices G-Hot, kills 13 military members, and wounded 32, public execution is not even enough. He can invite his family and friends for all I care. This is a G-Hotist who end up in America, taking out American lives. So when Secretary of War Pete Hegg says, says the US army has become weak and weak, and we won't basically end up like Europe, and the famous clip of them saying, no fatties, no trendies, no beardows, no weirdos, no whims, no radicals, just warriors. This is the reality of war at this point. We're at war with radical G-Hot, whether you like it or not. And I loved your interview with Raymond Ibrahim earlier this week. - Yep. - Incredible breakdown, just stoic, educational, and basically saying, guys, this is what's happening right now. Here's the biggest point here. We talk about suicidal empathy in the West. This is an exhibit of homicidal empathy, where we let someone like this have guns and kill our soldiers to me, public execution, and then some for the someone like this. - Tom. - I have a different take. On August 14th, 1936, what stopped the United States? August 14th, 1936 on this topic. - What stopped us? - What stopped? That's what we're talking about, public executions. Public executions, the last one United States, what happened in Kentucky, August 14th, 1936. Before that, people would come to the town square. The public executions were done outside jails, outside the town square, and in colonial times, they were done outside the courthouse. And the courthouse often was a church, which doubled as a schoolhouse in the center of town, because they didn't have a lot of buildings. So the schoolhouse and the church and the courthouse were all the same thing. So they took it. Now, they said that crowds became rowdy, and it became more of a spectacle, so they moved into private. But you know what? It was also universally accepted. People went there and often took young children there, and pointed out to them that a life that leads here, leads here. And so you had this social thing happen. Now, they say that they became rowdy, oftentimes there was drunkenness, and then one time there was a fully rotted gallows in Texas that when they pulled the rope to drop the prisoner, the whole thing collapsed. And so also injuring the executioner. That's bad. So in other words, there were some problems. So it wasn't perfect, but it was at a time-pat where there was a deterrent. You don't want to shame your family and be that person in the public square. There is a time. And I think moving it to private, moving it inside the jail, I think made sense, but they always had public witnesses. People like you and me, like for jury duty, that would have the opportunity to witness, and we gave comments to the newspaper, 'cause they still wanted the deterrent, Pat. They wanted people to read about it. It's the most horrible thing I saw. I was selected to be there. I witnessed on behalf of the governor. It's the most terrible thing. I don't wish this on any person, but he committed crimes and murder, and he was executed. That would be in the newspaper. So people would sit there and there was deterrent. So I looked up the first state that banned public execution, Connecticut, 1830, Rhode Island, 1833. Pennsylvania, 1834, New York, 1835, Massachusetts, 1835, Jersey, 1835. So public executions started being banned about 200 years ago, long time ago. - 200? - Yeah, Connecticut was for 1776. - Wow. - Okay, 1830, 60 years later, Connecticut says we're not gonna do public executions. The last 10 executions that we did, okay? Roscoe Jackson, Missouri, murdered traveling salesman in 1937, pro-Bozard during the robbery, boom, public execution. Next one, Dudley Bar, 1937, May 21st, Missouri, murder and robbery of Walter Milton, okay? Next one, Fred Adams, 1937, Missouri. Notice a pattern here. Murdered night marshal clearance green during the robbery. Hurt Hardy, Missouri, 1937. Murdered 19-year-old Ethel Fenestock. - Murder. - Murder, yes, next, Missouri. George McVear, 1936, Missouri. Murdered a Missouri highway patrolman and a sheriff, public execution. Rainy Bethia, Kentucky. Convicted of raping Lucia Edwards. He also confessed to murdering her. Okay, C.D. word, Missouri, 1935. Convicted of raping two sisters. Execution, Edward Gaiman, Missouri. Murder and robbery of Arthur I'll, I'll, I'll, then next one, okay? Well, William Rowland, Missouri, murdered Edwin Shayna. So this used to be a thing in Missouri and Kentucky. And the first one that bandit was Connecticut. And now he wants to bring you back and do it in Texas. And by the way, if he keeps his word, and this happens, and the video is live, and you're an insider. Remember when Jacob Cox and the anthropic insider said that we have Chinese nationals at anthropic and, and what do you call it, open AI? There is nothing more than an insider that's a major, not a, not a private E1 or, or private first class. No. Or a specialist or a sergeant. You're a freaking major. I don't, this is an insider. You know what this could call for? This could be, I don't know what next thing he's going to be doing. But there could be some levels of if Chinese nationals cannot be in companies like open AI and anthropic. Maybe it's time to decide what types of people can I join the US Army and go a little bit deeper on your background checks. I don't know. Maybe you got to raise the standards of who can't even go serve. Because we obviously. I should be entitled to have a weapon. No, not, no, not even weapon. Because you know what the biggest, well, I'm working at a nuclear missile base. Adam, you know what the biggest threat? It wasn't, it wasn't outside people. It's the insider threat. You have no idea how much training we had to do to make sure it wasn't people that were the inside out of. That's the most dangerous thing. And like he said, this wasn't like an enlisted E2, E3. You have to go from second lieutenant to lieutenant to captain to major. Bro, and then lieutenant colonel, he keeps going up. Yamaha, I'm not, I'm, listen, Pat. This to me. How much do you think Adam of the people that are here that are seeing this? I mean, I'm talking about enemies from within. Because when you sign up for the military, it's to protect the country from enemies foreign and domestic. The ones that are already here. How many of those people? Adam, Adam, Adam, I'm a realist. There's people walking around right now that are in the military. That have been kind of indoctrinated. They're kind of like on the fence. That they're probably in their head. I'm going, you know what? I could probably see myself doing something like this to say, hey, the hell with America and blah, blah, blah. Once they hear the secretary of war say, we're going to kill this dude. And I want everybody to see it. You think it has a little bit of an effect on somebody that's like even weighing an option of trying to do something to murder Americans? I think it does on certain tiers. If you are a radicalized person, you're going to do it anyway. Because whether you die there or die later, you think you're going to glory in this absolutely perverted logic. Yes. If you're radicalized, but other people, do you think it stops it? Absolutely. And I remember there's also what we're also talking about here is the structure and the social compact that lives in a civilized society. And look at one of the things that I read from that the summary public execution is that people told, you know, we're fearful. I would see this. There is a film that was called scared straight during, I believe it was the 80s. If you guys can look that up, it was and it was to remind young men of the horrors of prison and what happens to your life after the prison. The Greek show, right? Scared straight. Scared straight. It was not a documentary. It was not SNL. It was the documentary about the US prison system. And what will probably happen to your life after you go to prison, the ability to get jobs, being married, all of that. And it also reminded them that men in prison, other things happen, which are horrifying. But the bigger thing it was, this will destroy your life. Where are you going to get a job? Where are you going to go? What are you going to do? And also leaving your family on the outside and what they think. There used to be this fear and these things in America that went with strong family leadership and sensible social concern. And we've lost that, right? We've lost that. Prison has become crime college. You know, the recidivation rate is horrible. You know, and we need deterrence. Yeah, you need a little bit of fear to impose and to people to not make any dumb mistakes. We need to, we got some people that are watching the podcast. We had a kid over there. I love it when people come and watch the podcast. Baby Brooklyn. Baby, baby, baby. Can I just one thing? Yeah. To me, the reason that I'm so upset about this story, there's a lack of trust that you're using the word internal. Look at the stories we're talked about in the last week of the people on the inside that have basically done the most heinous things ever to the people that's supposed to trust him. Lindsey Clancy, kills your three kids. Is there someone that's supposed to be more protective of your three kids than the mother? The pilot of this air Dubai flight. You're supposed to be taking these passengers to safety. And next thing you know, you're the one trying to kill them. The major in the army, you're the one killing the soldiers. To me, there's a lack of trust. If you can't trust the people on the inside, how the hell you can trust anybody? This isn't a trust conversation. This is consequences. Have you noticed the pattern since Lindsey Clancy's story of killing her kids? Yeah, you start to see more. Have you seen how many documented stories of death, deaths involving biological mothers? Okay. Has happened since her story. How many of some people are sitting there saying, well, you know what? And by the way, maybe next time we'll have the data to show it to you. How many has happened since some people are like, well, it's not a big deal. Well, it's not a big deal. Some of the stories are disturbed. You're really like, is this real or is this real? No, it's real. Is this real? No, it's real. This is real. So the key word is consequences at them. You cross the line. There has to be consequences. And if the consequences are, oh, it's okay. This is what we're going to be doing. No, there needs to be real. Like Chaz, what's his first name? Chaz from Yankees. Chaz from Yankees. He interviewed in a certain way. I don't like to, for you to talk like that about the Yankees. I don't like the way you talked about the Yankees. After you lose, you're like, hey, they're talking shit and all this other stuff. Knowing us. I'm sorry, buddy. You don't talk like that. You can't talk like that about the fans. The fans are not happy with you. You were the Yankees. You're a we, you're not an I. We don't speak in the I language. We speak in the we language collectively. And yes, there are certain sports teams, certain people shouldn't play for. Because it comes with a lot of pressure. Guess what's one of them? Yankees. What's another one? Red socks. What's another one? Lakers. What's another one? Anything with Philly. Don't go to Philly if you don't want the pressure that comes with it. So to me, there needs to be consequences with certain in everything kids, relationship, friends, peers. And you want to go out and kill 13. No problem. And it needs to be public. And it needs to be painful. And I dare you to even think about doing something like this. Well, we're making an example of the concern becomes some people maybe like, hey, that's still recognition for me in my 15 minutes of fame. I'll do it because guess what my God has given me for me to do. Yeah, the verse. Guess what. So you have to realize that's why I say, I think there's another level above this. Vinnie, where are you going to say something? You were talking about the Lindsey Clancy and the people look at how many moms in the past week. And you click on us. So you make it bigger. Just click on a picture if you can. Yeah, look at that. Mama, literally, stabs husband, two young children during the early morning attack. But it's all October, September, Missouri mom claims to mistakenly place infant an oven killing her. Lindsey Clancy obsess mom, Cory wall saying Wizard of Oz tune after hanging her two year old son, look at all this boom happening. Happy. Happy. Yeah. Because she can walk after Lindsey Clancy, because you can text mom shoots daughter for and murder. What do you think? Suicide October second. This is last week. Do you think these are inspired? Do you think these are? Well, Adam, they don't think it's a little bit more pronounced. This is New York. This is New York Post. This is this is news that's going on. You know what this means? Because of one word. Yes. There is no consequences. There are no consequences. So I can get away with this. The consequences game is there's also the victim mentality. Here Lindsey Clancy is now the hero on the victim. I don't care. I'm killing her three kids. They're saying that. Yeah. She should be going to jail for the rest of her life. And now people are making her a hero. No, but you know, there is a victim. Well, you ready for this? No, but the point that is. Because of the standards that we have. You also talked about this Cornell case. This lady clearly, I don't know if we want to touch her right now. She was clearly a very promiscuous woman. Now there's the consequences are people finding out. Now she claims she's being raped. Yeah. So let's go to that story. Let's go to that story. So Cornell girl, Jane Doe, Vinnie found her on Instagram. So it's not like you can find who she is. We won't give the name. So this girl Jane Doe, let's call her. More stories comes out on a dendom. Do I want to read this stuff, folks? I mean, earmuffs. I just want to let you know. Some of the stuff is just. Pretty gross. A gross of what she was into. So let's go to page eight with some of the text messages. There is sexting and then there is this. Okay. So Jane Doe was a serious text mo two days after alleged loss. Almost consoling one of the men she'd later accused of rape. TMZ obtained a text chain between Jonathan Newell and Jane Doe. And even in October 21st, 2024, Newell apologized. You're an amazing person. And I genuinely hope you're not catching as much heat from this as we are. We've been shutting down any stories we've heard. But again, I'm so sorry. Jane responded. Oh, John. Jonathan, I really appreciate the tax. My memory is super clouded too. I really like being with you and Matt. So, anyone has to say about the gang bang is out of their jurisdiction. I don't think we should feel any shame for that part. Our body, our choice as ASF, ASF is what? As I don't know what ASF stands for. - Like ASF, you see. - Yeah, she added, at the end of the day, you, Matt and I were in your bed and they didn't need to get up in that. She appeared to say she hooked up with them both before. I really do love you, and Matt, and I promise I won't get quiet and weird WU-like I did last time. I don't know what the hell that means. So Vinnie, what else are you saying with you? - Well, get married with you like that. - Two days after, Pat, like she apologizes, acknowledged that everybody was intoxicated, you know, said that activity was legal, even wrote our body, our choice, okay? And she described everyone as consulting, a consenting adults, and they made a comment about women doing this in mid-eval time. She also told one of the men she loved him, and another man involved and offered to talk if he had any regrets. And according to other reports, she was texting her girlfriends during the sexual, like she'd have one round with a guy, text her friends, go back and do another one, talk to him, and then text him. And then she was planning to return to the fraternity house for a Halloween party. Well, this is where it gets the real information comes out. She was disinvited, and her messages reveal that she was upset from girls from another sorority, 'cause there were whispering behind her back and starting rumors, okay? And then one of the men patting his Matthew Ingalls, I think, is now allegedly like, she sexually assaulted him, and he was too drunk and too high, 'cause he didn't remember anything. - What does that mean? - This guy-- - His sex toys on him? - This might be the guy, and I'll let you get to the time, because apparently this guy patting, you know what? I was on drugs, I was drunk. I don't remember, and I'm gonna give it you in a second time. But this is what I'm taking from the story. It's amazing how everybody's, a lot of women and all of these feminists are supporting men rush to condemn these men, and you didn't have all the evidence. No trial, no verdict, nothing, okay? Nothing. And then you're calling a rapist, and I sent Humberto this clip of AOC, and this is a big problem that AOC can have if these guys want to turn their ugly head to her. This is what she's saying, and this is the defamation lawsuit that they want to pat. Look at what she said about these guys, but without knowing anything of the story, go ahead, Bert. - Seven men drugged and gang raped a 20-year-old woman. They lured her in to a fraternity house. They drugged her with ketamine. They then posted to a group chat that she was incapacitated, and seven men took turns. - Look, okay. - Gang raping her for seven hours. - How tall is that? - Seven. - That right there, I hope one of these kids, families hears it, and you go after her and you sue her, okay? 'Cause they're calling all of them gang rapists and all the texts that we're revealing that they want, and this is the big difference, Pat. Regret versus rape, okay? Two completely different things. One of them ruins your weekend, and you're ripping, it's gonna suck. It'll go away in the six months. The other one is gonna ruin your life forever, literally forever, and I think we become a society, and I'm pretty sure the people out there, Tommy, I know you'll agree. They, nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions. You make stupid, reckless decisions, you put yourself in dangerous situations and you act shocked when there's consequences, and here's that word again, and somehow we're not allowed to ask questions, and I'm gonna do this very fast. Take George Floyd. George Floyd, never even meets Derek Chauvin if he's not a degenerate drug-using scumbag who abused women, who held a gun to a woman's pregnant stomach while his friends robbed the hat. And if he wasn't trying to use a $20 counterfeit bill to pass, he never meets him, he never dies. Number one, Renee Good, okay? You never get killed until you try driving over a freaking federal agent with your $3,000 car, and all of a sudden you're the victim, okay? And the same thing goes for this girl. You don't wanna be out there in the public square, and everybody's talking about you. Stop being a freaking hoochie on a campus, doing drugs and everything, and then trying to blame everybody else, okay? It just drives me crazy, and I'm sick and tired of it. Take responsibility for your own actions, and don't get mad with the consequences, come on. What is the, 'cause the one story we're telling us about what happened to one of the guys, what happened to them? So, by the way, ear muffs, it's a little weird, if you're watching this with the kids, maybe take a quick break. So here, what I'm gonna do is I'm going to do this carefully. The headline that's here from the news is one of the Cornell 7s, a fat bro, means a male that was a member of the frat, claimed that the accuser sawtomized him, and the school didn't care that he was a sexual assault survivor. He indicated in an interview, apparently, and we have to infer that while he was unconscious, he was sawtomized. What that usually means when they state that, is that while he was unconscious, a sex toy or other implement was inserted in him for laughs. So I think you can figure out what that means. That's pretty terrible. So you wake up after it and your guys are like, dude, you were so out of it and used to see what this chick did to you with the sex toy. That's not a quote from somebody, but I'm saying apparently there was something along those lines, and he claims that he brought that to the police and said, what about me? I was completely out of it, and I didn't even have sex with her. I was getting, you know, or, you know, it's just adorable. So I have two takes on this. The first take I have on this is that this has exposed many other situations that were on Cornell. Cornell has been in the headlines for a lot of very wrong reasons. The university president is under fire from the student newspaper that is doing independent reporting, Pat, of other rapes, other fraternities, other things on campus, which have been previously ignored or very limited investigations by the school, allegedly, the Board of Regents, or the Board of Trustees, it just said Board, but the governing body apparently has brought in an external judicial representative, and what they're doing is they want that person to conduct a full investigation of the school's responses, because Cornell, apparently, by these many stories, appears to be a hotbed of unchecked fraternity haisings and assaults. That's just what the headlines were saying. I'm not saying that. I'm not defaming Cornell. And they're apparently their reputation is here with all these reports of the incidents that are going on. And I think parents need to know this stuff when you're making choices for your kids, and this is exactly why I dissuaded people from sending their kids there for veterinary school. I was like, my daughter was thinking about that. Hell no, go to University of Florida. You know, go somewhere else, but for the love of God, don't send your kid into a hotbed of this stuff. But right now, there is, I set the woman aside, Pat, you see what I mean? And I think that the outcomes that are coming here on awareness of what's going on campus, you're looking the other way by the administration, fraternities that weren't sufficiently checked, university police that were like, well, it was kind of a party, maybe there's nothing to see here. We're legitimate, innocent victims, Vinnie, not victims that are kind of made their own way into this. Out of where you at. I mean, you know, the famous phrase, if facts don't care about your feelings, well, the inverse of that is that feelings don't care about your facts. Here's what I think has actually happened. I think this girl was a massive slut. And sorry, ear muffs for everybody out there. She liked doing drugs. There was no gang rape. There was, again, ear muffs, there was a gang bang. And she wanted this. And again, last time we talked about this, doing the drug ketamine or K, you don't know what's going on. And she willingly did this. And she did this multiple times and came back for more. So to me, this is hook up culture on steroids. And then you use the AOC uses the narrative of a seven men from Cornell, gang raped this woman for political expediency. And basically using it to basically create a narrative that didn't exist. And what I find the most ironic here is the people that are basically advocating for open borders and illegal immigration, they have nothing to say about the Pakistani rape gangs that were going on in the UK for decades where women, innocent women were basically done dirty beyond their silent about the AOC. Why don't you talk about that? Hey, Abdul Al-Sahyed, why don't you talk about the Pakistani rape gangs? Nothing but all of a sudden, these seven white guys, not even white guys, seven white guys at Cornell, gang, whatever this woman, this is the number one thing they have to say. So the hypocrisy, we're going to find out exactly what happened with the story, the truth will come out because all the text messages there and phone calls are there, recorded lines are there. But to me, the hypocrisy from the far left is what I have a problem. Parents, get involved with your kids, talk to them about this kind of stuff. We were at dinner the other day. I brought this up to all the kids. And I talked to them about situations, case studies, what to do in situations like this. Jennifer was right there, we talked to our two boys. And it don't be the parent that's uncomfortable to talk about the stuff. One time I had, the first time I had RFK on the podcast, six years ago, seven years ago, I asked them a question about what was it like being a Kennedy? What did dinners look like? And so my dad would ask me questions during dinner I mean, what says, what's wrong with doing LST? We should make it legal and we would debate it. And we'll go out, bring these types of topics. You have an opportunity at dinner table every night. Turn off the TV, ask them. Ask them if your kids are a certain age, ask them. What do you think is the right thing to do here? What if you get an opportunity to go do this? What would you do? How would you handle it? What if the girl is gorgeous? What if your friends says nobody's gonna know? What if the girl says, come on, use the Academy. Do the drug. How would you handle that? What would you do? How would you prevent yourself from not being tempted to do some stupid like this? And how are you gonna say, these are the top? Because if you don't, kids are gonna do what you do. There's a kid, there's a video of a six year old kid that shot his teacher. And I wanna ask you a question when you watch the way this kid speaks. How did he learn how to speak like this? And again, this is some, you know, I want you to be ready 'cause the language is nasty. - I would tell everybody that. - And I send the video to you. Is this the video I sent you or is this a different video? - I sent, I sent you the video. I want you to play the video I sent you. Yours is bleeped. Yours is bleeped, this one's not bleeped. I don't know if this, - Yeah, I know, but the video I sent, it shows it from a reporting angle. - Okay. - And I just want you to play the clip that I sent you. Six year old boy shoots his teacher. Then they record him. And look at the way he speaks to the teacher. And the teacher hand, this is the teacher that-- - The teacher's getting wish to wait. There's another teacher pat holding him, that this is the aftermath. The teacher's already been shot. Now he's being held in the class. - Watch this, watch this. - Play it. - And then into the chest by one of her young students. Let's see how that student is doing. - One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one. Piece of paper, big stuff. - Six years old. - Six years old. - I believe I got in there. I told the AP that there was a threat earlier about it. - The AP is the assistant principal. - He is six years old, and I caught nine-one-one when I heard that I was under a year specialist. - Watch how we speak. - Eighties, eighties, eighties, eighties, eighties, eighties, eighties. - Who talks like that at six years old? How good are you wrong how to talk like that? - Where is the weapon? - It's on the floor. - It's over there. - What? - Listen to that. - Fuck you. That's not how we speak to each other. - Fuck you, bitch. - Unbelievable. - I stole that from my mom. - Okay. - That stole the gun from his mom. - What's your name? - Six years old. - It's a piece of me. - Come get it. - Here it is. - Are you getting it? - His mom is to supposedly-- - Don't get me called back up, I don't care about their jail, bitch. - Look since of that. - You know that language and you know that's not appropriate. Mrs. Covex, I'm not happy with that. - Oh, wow. - She is way too nice. - He slapped her. - Boy, I can't wait to see what that fine young man is going through. - Oh, yeah, my. - Benny. - Can you believe that? - So I'm burnt all I see. - Who is this? Is this the teacher? - That's the teacher that was shot. Can we continue this? - Yeah, God. - Keep playing it here. - Keep playing it audio. - He's in the hospital. - That boy's mother did a fine job, didn't she? - Don't worry, though. She came up with the worst excuse ever. - Look at this. - He has ADHD or some are able to have it at a very mild rate, but he's off the wall, doesn't sit still ever. - You feel that there are some racial component to it? - Absolutely. If the dynamics were different, if the teacher was-- - What? - Maybe looking like me, and the student was Caucasian or another-- - I just want you to know how to talk with where you get this. - How does a kid learn to talk? Let it keep going. - Your guilty and was in prison until May 2026. - Parker is the former assistant principal from Richneck Elementary School. - Ebony Parker faces eight counts of child abuse with reckless disregards as well. - This is what it says. - One for every bullet in the gun. - It began with Subwörner the morning of the shooting, going to see Parker, and allegedly telling Parker, the child was in a violent mood. - Violet mood. - A short time later, two students told another member of the school staff the child had a gun in his bag. Charning. - Backpack was searched, but nothing was found. The grand jury says Zerwerna is still worried. Told colleagues she thought she saw the boy put something in his pocket, which was also told to Parker. Still no expansive search or pat down. Then after recess, one of the boy's friends came up to another teacher and told her the child had a gun and showed him the bullets. - Boy, that assistant principal is screwed, huh? - No. - That's so fast. - What's this? - This assistant principal, Ebony Parker. - The judge said there were too many questions with the law and the legality of the indictments that were set. - That's the judge. That's the judge. - Sure. I'm supposed to take seriously anything said by a purple lipstick judge. Well, I can tell you right now who the next Supreme Court justice will be if a Democrat is president. - You can stop this. Like, okay. For everybody out there, that kid, and I feel so bad for him, there's no way you come out into society. You come out of your mother, but unless there's major, major prob by ADHD, give me a freaking break. The first thing I thought about, where's the father? And if you look it up, I'm going to bet those father's name is Malik Ramon Ellison, criminal history. And guess what? The criminal history is domestic violence, assault, illegal ammunition possession, violating protective orders, convicted of assaulting the boy's mother, another woman accused him of threatening her with a gun, okay? Look at the freaking chaos. This kid has zero, zero chance, no discipline, no parenting, no consequences, and all of a sudden, and who they, who they, they're going to blame. They're going to blame ADHD. I think it's absolutely ridiculous to be like, thank God the teacher wasn't shot and killed. But the blame race, and to blame ADHD, I don't know, it was the mother. And the mother spent, if I'm not mistaken, three years, nine months in prison for a child neglect and federal firearms charges. But the fact that the principal who was warned four times in one day, the assistant principal, four times gun, gun, he's hiding it, gun. You ignore it. A teacher gets shot. And that judge says you're good. All the offenses, all the felonies, all, all, all goes back to my same thing with consequence. Exactly. If you're not going to have consequences, this kind of behavior is going to be repeated. But no six-year-old kid learns to talk like that, wasn't born to talk like that. Nope. You'll learn how to talk like that. A six-year-old kid will learn, that's a learned skill set. That rage, that language, learned skill set from father, from mother, from a brother, and from the community that raised it, it's embarrassing to see a story like this, embarrassing to see a story like this. Adam, your thoughts. Yeah, I mean, this is the most ghetto story I've seen and maybe ever, a six-year-old kid talking trash to the police teachers, after he shot his teacher and saying, what's up, you want to go again? Oh my God. Good ghetto. And this, listen, who's going to come across this? This is why you talk about raising, how you're raising your kids and being a leader and setting standards. This is the reason why. And this is why a lot of people have a major reservation of sending their kids to public schools like this. This is why the school choice programs are so important. This is why I can't tell you how many people I speak to that homeschool their kids. Because is this the type of school system that you want to basically send your kids to? So let me get this straight. The choices are you send your kids and they get woke and weird and they become lesbians or they go to some ghetto school system and they can potentially get shot by a fellow classmate who's six years old. Just the education system in America needs a total revamp right now. Here's just one story of ghettoness that is going on in our school. And you think they're saving that kid, Pat? That's six-year-old kid. You think they're saving that mentality of how he is and how he has that freaking attitude at that freaking age. And I don't know who that was because apparently he's staying with the grandfather right now. But for that guy to be like, yeah, race has something to do with it. Shut up. I'm so sorry. Shut up with that stupid racist nonsense and ADHD. But the question is your mother is asking the question. You think this is a race related to you? Like you think it's written? No, no. How about you? How about looking at her right next to you and the father? God knows where the hell he is. He's probably in prison. What do you stop the nonsense? It's you. Exactly. You and the father. The father has a rap sheet. What, what, what, what do you think? You don't think it's listening to you know what this reminds me of and why this is not a race story. Remember the, the, the famous thing on Dr. Phil and catch me outside. Oh, gosh. Catch me outside. That's a white girl. Yeah. Nobody was like, is this a race factor here? No, it's a ghetto. Let me, let me, guys, let me wrap up with two stories and we'll, we'll be done here. One congrats to Rogan for getting a quarter billion out of renewal contract with Spotify. You love seeing that happening and I think I saw it in the AP. It says controversial podcast post gets a 200 and for controversy, they'll still calling it controversial. Controversial podcast. So as Joe Rogan signs a new deal with Spotify reported $250 million. But the story I wanted to get to is the Starbucks story, okay? Starbucks CEO, Brian Nicol, who used to be the previous CEO of Chipotle, who took Chipotle from $7 billion to $71 billion in valuation. So when he got the job with Starbucks as the new CEO, the stock increased $20 billion in one day. He got $130 or $190 million out of contract. They have now announced that Starbucks is thinking about buying Chipotle. Oh, man. So you leave Chipotle. You go to Starbucks with the plans of buying your previous employer. That's something. And when that announcement is made, Chipotle, so one top, good idea. Do you see this? This is a very, very weird. This is kind of like when Amazon bought whole foods from that guy, Mackie, Mackie, you know, and it's like, why is Amazon buying whole foods? And it actually ended up being a very good flywheel. Do you think this makes sense for Starbucks to purchase Chipotle? Yes. And I'll tell you why. Because he's going to be purchasing, let's never mind that he was CEO Vinnie. Let's say, okay, he really turns Chipotle around and got it. you know, out of the ditch from the food, the food contamination and all the things that went, you got it rolling. Chipotle says, ups, you know, level up food compared to pure fast food. Check, Starbucks, level up coffee compared to 7-11, right? You see furloughs here? Multiple locations out there, yes. I see alignment here on the two businesses, Pat. This would be one of the largest mergers in restaurant history, you know, Burger King, Tim Hortons, which is in Canada, that was pretty big. I think this would be bigger than that. I think this might be the biggest of all time. But I see alignment. Number one, he knows both organizations. Number two, how they buy real estate, where they put their locations, who they're catering to, the rewards program that they're putting together. Can you imagine if your Starbucks rewards card is now combined with your Chipotle rewards? So you get rewards at both and you get benefits. I just see a lot of synergies and things that could work from a guy that knows both sides of it. And as a shareholder, you know what? You know, that just would not upset me. And I know one thing, you know, 10 seconds into it, that's Starbucks coffee there at Chipotle in the morning. You're getting your burrito burista, your breakfast burrito, and Starbucks coffee right there. So I see a lot of things that go together, not just 'cause he was CEO of both I see product overlaps, strategic overlap. I kind of like this. And by the way, the market on the Starbucks side also liked it. So would you recommend buying a stock in Chipotle right now? When this is already announced, it's coming out. Is that-- No, no, it's a whisper. It's a whisper. So I'm just saying, it's a whisper in $31. Listen, I like Brian Nichol a lot. I don't know if it's going to be a collaboration where you're going to go to Chipotle and order Starbucks. Or like, you know how sometimes you see some gas stations that subways in there, and I don't know if he's got-- This guy's brilliant. There's certain things he sees that we don't see, and I don't yet know what it is. I do know Starbucks been struggling lately. It's not like the pre-him coming there. They had a hard time. And they've been dealing with a couple media stuff. One of them was the sugar story. Starbucks sued over alleged substantial amount of sugar and their sugar-free drink. What? Company the nice claims, this is an ABC story. It could be a BS story as well. And then there is a story that came out with them having slime and their drinks and be careful and all this other stuff. So the proposed class action lawsuit filed. The suit filed by plaintiff, represented by-- sales eight beverages. It says, "Elegist Starbucks sells eight beverages whose names have been begin with the word sugar-free, even though they contain between 13 to 21 grams of sugar per venti size, serving. The eight drinks are sugar-free vanilla, caramel protein lattes and matchados, hot and ice, the 21 grams of sugar-containing venti drinks, prongs of roughly equal to 5 teaspoons of sugar." So they're dealing with the stuff. But he's a big boy. Brian's a big boy. He knows what he's doing. I don't know if I fully yet see the collaboration. But let's see how the market reacts. Brian's got something up his sleeves that we're not thinking about, Tom. I see locations. I see strategic overlap. I see consumer overlap. But I'd love to hear more about it about it. And by the way, I didn't say it was sugar-free, like no sugar. I said the sugar was free. Am I charging it? I'm gonna get it. Not like that. Look, Tom kind of summed it all up. Here's all I'll say. You have a customer going from Starbucks having your morning coffee and then having lunch at Chipotle. That sounds like a volatile situation in the bathroom market where the customer to toilet ratio is going to have a liquidity crisis because there's going to be a market crash of toilets at that point. So be very careful with your increase of toilet usage after your Chipotle Starbucks. It's my choice. That's the first thing that came to mind to me. If he starts buying toilet paper, like if he starts owning toilet paper, then we have like-- That's a great flywheel. That's a flywheel, Pat. All right, gang. If the girls are there, you will be willing because we're about to wrap up just to say hi. We had a good podcast. Lots of good stories, different things that was covered. But with that being said, gang, the coins, I didn't expect this thing to go the way you did. The coins sold out within 15 minutes. I actually believe that. There were only 200 bucks. They sold out within 15 minutes. I thought there'd be a thousand bucks. No, no, they were gone. This is a great deal. All right, we have two people coming in. Hey, look at these people. The other ones, we still have a few-- Hey, Senna, I got this for you. Oh, that's great. Congratulations. Well, no, I don't get nothing. Oh, the regift. Look at this. Look at this painting here. Wow. Oh. Can you give it to mommy when you're here? Well, can you say hi to everybody before we say goodbye? Here, Senna. Hi, everybody. Go ahead. No, no, I'm talking over there. Over there. Brooklyn, the eye, the camera's over there. Folks, have a wonderful weekend. We will do this again on Monday. God bless everybody. Take care. Bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye, everybody. [END PLAYBACK]
