Lindsey Graham's Death, New Iran Strikes & Mamdani's Map Controversy | PBD Podcast #831

did you ever think you would make it i feel i'm supposed to take sweet victory i know this life meant for me adam what's your point the future looks bright the handshake is better than anything i ever signed right here you are a one-on-one my son's right there i don't think i've ever said this before okay i think it's fair to say it was a busy weekend a lot of stuff happened and on top of a lot of stuff happening also this coach there's a massive coach feud going on with bellingham in england which is a very very interesting story world cup of course we'll cover that as well lindsey graham may he rest in peace died at 71 years old right after coming back on his 10th trip from kiev ukraine if i'm not mistaken and he made the phone call to the president you're welcome and then boom we heard a story there's a lot of uh people that are saying good bad things conspiracy theories we'll get into that and there's one message one speech he gave defending kavanaugh that vinnie showed me yesterday i couldn't believe it while i'm sitting there it's one of the best uh things i've heard a senate say in a long time defending his own camp and doing it in such an eloquent way uh but again he's a conflict a complicated individual mitch mcconnell same thing they hadn't heard him speak for a minute and eventually post something with a newspaper hold it up and there's a lot of memes going on a lot of people are having a lot of fun with which mcconnell one of the meme was him dancing one of the memes was him with elvis presley and tupac and all these guys and then a lot of people asked and said you know beatles break up yeah a lot of people asked and said why don't you just post a video instead of a newspaper holding but i mean how much there is to it who knows i can tell you he's already stated last year that he's retiring january 1st of 2027 and he's not seeking re-election so his job's going to be going to somebody anyway so for conspiracy theory it's it's a fun story to go through we will we're glad he's doing better and he's with his wife rubio i think last week we showed a story vinnie of uh the the fellow lauschen man who allegedly not allegedly he did rape his wife's sister who was 10 years old and she didn't file any charges and tim waltz is like well it's just their culture leave the man alone you know if she she doesn't want to file anything it's okay uh mark rubio doesn't play around he came out and said listen you're getting deported you child rapist you yes no hesitation i don't care if you put the fear of death into the 10 year old girl at the time that you ended up marrying his or her sister and whether they're okay with you or not we're not okay with that in america get the hell out of here and that's my interpretation of how he said it marco marco said it more eloquently but but i'm just kind of interpreting a little bit out of here exactly and then aside from that iran and and u.s a nasty situation uh obviously this memorandum of understanding is going very smoothly everything's working out they're they're attacking left and right and it's not looking good it's not looking good what's going on there and you should hear what the state tv of iran was saying when lindsey graham was dead celebrating and a bunch of other people celebrating with that but uh he was one of the guys that was helping out reza palavi a lot and so you know with potentially doing things to liberate iranians and so they do not like lindsey graham but there's a lot of nasty things going on the iran attacked i believe bahrain jordan kuwait oh man a few different places oman a few other places and so we're we're in the middle of the 30 day the 60 day that they said they're going to negotiate it's not going well in the first 30 days so we'll see what happened there mamdani was allegedly supposed to meet with the ambassador of iran not a big deal i didn't check my schedule i don't know i don't i don't know and we're supposed to believe yeah i didn't know yeah my my team's doing it you know i don't know like let's just say if i got a big meeting you don't think i know my big meetings what do you think oh well hey mr president i don't know hey ambassador or whatever i don't know right and then state department's like what the hell you're doing get out the way you're not gonna go meet with those guys do you understand what you're doing here and then he makes a few comments about you know different parts of new york this this is this is for palestinians this is this is for this and he leaves out jews and italians and in all in all the way wait wait wait wait wait wait what are you doing what are you doing new york new york new york new york you know it wasn't like intentional yeah it was accidental but it is what it is we'll address that story a couple cool stories i really like one chipotle ceo uses team dinners to spot potential leaders i really want to talk about that i love that story i love that strategy period we've done that for 25 years and i'll i think it's a good idea for any executive that's watching this to be doing that as well i'm in such reading mode right now i cannot even tell you how much i'm doing i've done more reading i haven't done this kind of chunking of reading the way i'm doing right now the last few weeks in probably 10 years i'm always reading stuff but not reading books and i got some of the stuff here a story says the end of reading is here and and i think that's such a big edge to people who don't allow the end of reading to be there for you there's so much opportunity for those that don't allow that to apply to them the brain's getting rotted for a lot of people test scores came out check this out university of uh uh which one is this brown university allowed people to go do take-home midterms i wish take-home midterms were there when i was around we don't have no take-home midterms no no you'll go take home midterms and so kids go and take home the midterms and then they do the midterms in school it's a 20 difference in score no shit sherlock what do you think is going to happen if i go home and i can use so then the first university in america right now that is no longer allowing devices in the in the classroom as university of chicago law school good for them we don't want devices in here i think that's a great idea you guys got to learn instead of just relying on that you know technology to do all that stuff for you netflix is exploring going live tv it looks like they want to compete with hulu in that area but you know it could or could not be a good strategy i think i like it but we'll see what happened a couple good soccer stories rich paul says if lebron james joined steph curry they would terrify warriors opponents i fully disagree you know lebron james is glued to the tv and it's envious of one thing you know lebron james is glued to the tv and it's envious of one thing watching world cup that these people in world cup are better floppers than him the only people in the world that are better floppers than uh than uh lebron james are soccer players honestly can you imagine lebron as a soccer player you touch him he falls holds his hands is looking through his eyes to see if the referee's looking or not yeah so i got some thoughts on that obviously he get yellow cards yeah yeah we won't go to adam on thoughts on the nba stuff but we will give you some insight on what's going on and then gavin newsom says elon musk owes him an apology he owes californians an apology you know and and he was asking a question about his taxes he's like well you know i always i always do my taxes and all this stuff but elon wasn't too friendly with elon and uh we'll address that part there's an article that came out from cnbc saying the 10 worst states to live in and you should see who's in the top 10 worst states to live in it's like the most ridiculous thing you'll ever see in your life like the states that are getting the most people that are going to them are supposed to be the worst states and the states that are losing the most people are supposed to be the best states yeah that makes a lot of sense but i don't know what's going on with them who wrote the story cnbc cnbc conor mcgregor story with his leg we'll get into that and then there is if you're 80 years old watching this we have some audience that over 80 that watch this if you're over 80 watching this there's a massive life-changing life-saving disclaimer that has to do with bisons like if you see a bison and you're above 80 probably a good idea is to turn around and walk as fast as you can away from the bison don't try to beat the bison walking around a tree we'll show that to you it's very important because that's more like a national health uh announcement to make to people above 80 artificial hips are in your future my mom and my dad are in that community so i first thing i do when i saw that video i text them the video i said mom dad if you guys see a bison run away don't don't go try to take a picture of it i don't care about the picture so i think it's important for us to share that with you we will but with that being said you

lose he's he was great he was unique in every way actually he was mr president and i know that we are all just absorbing this news we are all in shock can you tell us mr president how you received this news and your immediate gut reaction when you heard it so what makes it even more interesting and even stranger is that i got a call last night sometime at you know the early evening maybe in the sevens and he called and he said we're all set for the save america act he was pushing the save america act like crazy he got back said he just landed from ukraine i said that's a long trip to make he said he sounded a little tired but perfect but a little bit tired i had a right to be and he was a worker he was really a worker but uh but he sounded great actually but he was he was uh he actually said he was tired but he he wanted to pass the save america act and i said well we're gonna get it done lindsey we're gonna get it done so tom your thoughts on uh the the passing of lindsey graham well first of all um it doesn't matter which side of the aisle you were on um you know you recognized you know our statesmen you recognize these people with respect you may not agree with them but you recommend recognize their life of service with respect and what is the disgusted me is the people that were just you know dancing on the grave and being you know so happy about it good riddance and all that i just there's no place for that there is zero place for that um everybody has an opportunity to flip and change everybody has an opportunity to to you know find religion find faith whatever it is they find and come to the other side and there's just one moment one day away from that and so first i was disgusted but then i sat back and i decided i wasn't gonna be angry and i was just gonna consider the man and i considered the things he did i wasn't gonna be angry and i decided i was just gonna consider the things he did and i considered the amazing full-throated um you know defense that he gave at the cavanaugh hearing um j6 you know it's very interesting i was speaking to some people um at trump international golf course and what they told me said during j6 uh that whole area that lindsey graham was coming down um coming down to mar-a-lago and he was coming down almost weekly and he wasn't there you know playing golf partying or anything like that he was coming down almost weekly and he wasn't there you know playing golf he was down there supporting you know his colleague supporting trump who was under siege after what happened with j6 and that showed you that he had a sense of loyalty to him and it was interesting to me is these were just the regular people you know that are uh these weren't in other words these aren't politicians here like that these were people that are saying wow it was amazing when this was going on you could see the loyalty that he had you could see the dedication he had um you know for trump and how many people i don't care if you're critical can you look around in your life and find people that are that loyal to you i don't care if you like love or didn't love lindsey graham if you don't look around yourself and see people that are that loyal to you then guess what you don't have you don't have true friends and this guy i'm just i feel a sense of loss respectfully a lot of people would say this guy was very critical of trump in the past is this this guy so so the part of the audience there's there's there's a few things to isolate in my opinion number one hey guess what you know the man died he's no longer here with us come say come see give me give me a kiss baby you're so funny just came in to say hi and then we can go back who loves you okay hello bro so so um but you know a lot of people are saying this guy on one end um was you know critical of the president for a long time and then all of a sudden later on now you're coming saying this so let's isolate one yes made a man and then we're going to go back and we're going to do the same thing again and then we're going to do the same thing again and then we're going to do the same thing again and then we're going to but on the other side you know he was also not somebody that uh was necessarily loved by 100 percent of republicans now the one thing that i will tell you that is very interesting is this clip that you shared with me yesterday you want to talk about what's going on over here so guys um and i want to say this because tom made a great point like criticize left right whatever his defense of brett kavanaugh when he's trying to get the seat the supreme court justice is one of the most defining moments in his political career and i think it's one of the most defining moments and at the time it was one of those like uh um moments where you're like oh my god this dude and by the way look at the people around him he's quiet so he's trying to become he's trying to get a seat and they they had the you know uh dr blasey ford came up and had this whole rape allegation from high school and little did they know that this guy had literally every single day on a calendar for years every single thing that he did so it didn't add up they tried to destroy him just like clarence thomas because this is how washington does and if guys i'm telling you right now and tom made a great point if you are you know letter of recommendation or whatever you want you want somebody like lindsey graham love him or hate him or his mind changed about trump or whatever this is the guy that you want in your corner talking for you this is a freaking um a letter of recommendation beyond a letter of recommendation so he's sticking up for him after what the can we watch it go forward if you wanted an fbi investigation you could have come to us what you want to do is destroy this guy's life hold this seat open and hope you win in 2020 you've said that not me you've got nothing to apologize for when you see sotomayor and kagan tell them that lindsey said all because i voted for them i would never do to them what you've done to this guy this is the most unethical sham since i've been in politics and if you really wanted to know the truth You sure as hell wouldn't have done what you've done to this guy. Are you a gang rager? rapist. No. I cannot imagine what you and your family have gone through. Boy, y'all want power. God, I hope you never get it. I hope the American people can see through this sham. That you knew about it and you held it. The allegations of rape. You had no intention of protecting Dr. Ford. None. She's as much of a victim as you are. God, I hate to say it because these have been my friends. But let me tell you, when it comes to this, you're looking for a fair process. You came to the wrong town at the wrong time, my friend. Do you consider this a job interview? The advice and consent role is like a job. You consider that you've been through a job interview. I've been through a process of advice and consent under the Constitution. Would you say you've been through hell? I have. I've been through hell and then some. This is not a job interview. This is hell. This is going to destroy the ability of good people to come forward because of this crap. Your high school yearbook. You have interacted with professional women all your life. Not one accusation. You're supposed to be Bill Cosby when you're a junior and senior in high school. And all of a sudden, you got over it. It's been my understanding that if you drug women and rape them for two years in high school, you probably don't stop. Here's my understanding. If you lived a good life, people would recognize it like the American Bar Association has the gold standard. His integrity is absolutely unquestioned. It's solid. I mean, you can pause it right here. It's just a powerful messaging of Lindsey Graham. Again, in this business, the guy served in the military over 30 years, right? I think he was three plus decades that he was in there. And he did his work and hard. One of the hardest working guys out there. But the market reacted to it in a very different way. There's a lot of negative things that were said about him as well. I don't know if you want to get into that. Mark, yeah. And I'm happy you brought that up, Pat. 30 years in Congress and in a city where politicians like Nancy Pelosi amassed tens of thousands, if not hundreds of millions of dollars. Guess what he left? He died with a. He died with a net worth of $1.5 million. That's nothing for 30 years. But then you have ghouls. And Pat, these are disgusting human beings. Margaret Cho on Lindsey Graham's death. Umberto, can you bring that up? And I'll say it while he's looking for it. She said, bye, Lindsey, from the closet to the coffin. Think about. And again, guys, going off of what Pat said, I don't care how you felt about somebody, if they love somebody, if they hated somebody, his policies or whatever. This is a human being, made in the image of God, and he is dead. For you to say stuff like from the closet to the coffin, where you have it for. Put Margaret Cho. Margaret Cho, I sent it in the Slack, is a disgusting thing to do. And it says so much about your soul. And this is coming from the. It's not the majority. It's everybody from the left that is speaking on him. A little bit higher, higher, higher. Right there, that's Margaret Cho. And then you can show the other one. Guys, this is Margaret Cho, the comedian, talking about somebody that just died. Go ahead. Bye, Lindsey. Bye, Lindsey Graham. From the closet to the coffin. Real seamless. Real seamless. Her dog and the dog didn't like it. Also, yeah, Mitch McConnell. So it's Mitch McConnell. Lindsey Graham. It does happen in threes. Does happen in threes. You know what she's wanting? She wants Trump. Innuendo's wanting Trump to die. And by the way, her dog sounds like he's asking for help in the background. And then Humberto, go down. Guys, listen to me. I know we always talk about evil and demons and all that stuff. Look at this person's eyes when they're talking about death of another human being. And tell me there's not something disgusting and dark in this person's life. Go ahead. I woke up this morning and found out Lindsey Graham is dead. Jeez. Mitch McConnell is dead. No, he's not. There's two more that needs to go if you know what I'm saying. But what a wonderful morning today. Praise be Allah. Yeah. Praise be Allah. Praise be Allah. So just to give everybody a context, Pat. And then, Pat, if you don't mind, this whole thing with Lindsey, because you know all the conspiracy theorists were out there. He had what they basically said in layman's terms when he tore his aorta. It's like aortic dissection due to something cardiovascular disease. Okay. That's going. Heart disease. Heart disease, Tom. It happened to who's the threes company guy? I forgot. John Ritter. John Ritter. They get a tear in the aorta. His aorta. And guys, this is from people that are just working and they're doing so much and you're not checking on your health. And I'm telling everybody right now from experience, if you're over 40, stop putting it off. Get yourself checked out. There's too many people that ignore the warning signs. Okay. Then they find out when it's too late. And a lot of these diseases can be treated if you catch them early. And this is a message for everybody, wherever you are listening to this. If you're overweight, start taking care of yourself. Okay. If you're struggling with addiction, today is the day to get better. Stop saying, and I love that. What are the odds that you did it for the full ad? Stop saying I'll do it tomorrow because tomorrow turns into next week. Next week turns into a month. Next month turns into a year. And I know because I've been there. Okay. And if you're struggling with addiction today, do it. Okay. Get sober because it's the best decision. You feel me? That's very good. Very good message. Adam, your thoughts. Well, Vinny, number one, I'm glad that you're doing so well. And I appreciate the message. Rest in peace, Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham was a political gangster. The kids say that he stood on business. He was still 10 toes down. That's what Lindsey Graham did. Some people didn't like it. Obviously, you have some disgusting people cheering for his death. Anna Kasparian, you could show that, our old friend. But there's a lot of red-blooded, loving Americans who understand what he did for our country. So he was the number one Republican voice, you could argue, on national security and foreign policy. Some people, say he was a hawk. But that was his job. His job was to ring the alarm bells and say, Iran's trying to kill us. China's trying to slit our throat. Russia wants to basically take over Europe and basically we're next. Stability through strength, peace through strength. That was his job. And then his coup de grace, you saw it earlier, was what he did with Brett Kavanaugh. Sometimes when, you know, like we might have to read our notes a little bit, we might have to check notes. This dude just looked straight in the camera and was, like, this is what's going on. Here's what you need to know. This is the deal. That's how you know somebody's serious. At the end of the day, what I'm going to remember Lindsey Graham for was there's a lot of people that talk trash, but they're not in the game. This dude was in the arena. He might not agree with everything that Trump did or the Republican establishment did, but this guy was there every single day and he's gone way too soon. 71 years old. We have people in their 80s, almost 90s in Congress gone way too soon and he'll be missed. And by the way, while this is happening, Mitch McConnell posts a note out there and a picture of he and his wife to make sure everybody is not thinking that he's, a lot of people are like, maybe he's dead. He's dead. I think he's dead. He's not dead. He posted a picture with he and his wife and put a note out there. I don't know whether he wrote this or not. If you want to zoom in on the picture, if you want to get zoom in on the picture a little bit, if you'll see, they have the newspaper to the left to kind of show what the timing is. And he's explaining how he had a fall. He wasn't doing well. He's gone there. He's recovering. He says, I still have some work to do. I'm not stepping down. And at the same time, he's already expressed last year that he's not, no longer seeking reelection after January, 2027. So his seat will be taken over by somebody else. And the mark, this is the one thing about AI, man, AI knows how to have a lot of fun. You want to play some of these clips on what AI did just, just so you know how to market works. Look at this one here. I mean, just love. I mean, if you have a sense of humor, this is what people wanted to make sure he's doing well. You know, watch out for the music. Some people are saying that's AI. Some are saying it's real. I'm saying it's AI, you know, but at the same time, you know, we're glad he's doing okay. And his position will probably go to somebody else here soon in regard to the South Carolina one. What happens next is the governor of South Carolina has to replace him with somebody, but they still have to do a primary, which means there has to be an element of somebody on the Republican side to be able to fight for Lindsey Graham's position. I think right now, I think there's a lot of people out there that are 53 to 47, you know, and it kind of brings it down to 52, 47. So on the Senate, they definitely need every one of them. So there's some very moving, you know, moving parts on the, on the power plays that people have to pay close attention to both of these guys. They're watching it very, very closely. Let me get to the next story. Next story is Iran targeted a U S uh, and these stories with Iran that you read about. I mean, it's, it's not, it's not pretty what happened here. What's the real thing that took place at one point? Everybody's thinking, well, you know, it's good. It's peace. It's going to be great. Well, on July 7th, Tuesday escalations began after Iran fires drones at maritime shipping containers and transitioning the Strait of Hormuz claiming sovereign oversight, uh, over unapproved shipping routes. And then Saturday, July 11th and Iranian strike hits a commercial container ship in the critical waterway, setting it ablaze and leaving a civilian crew. I remember missing Iran's revolutionary guard officially declares the Strait of Hormuz closed to all international traffic. yesterday july 12th at 5 p.m centcom forces initiate massive retaliatory waves airstrike strike 140 different targets across southern iran including reshm island bandar abbas sirik and jask targets including drone launch you got it you want to put it here that'll mess it up drone launch networks missile sites ammunition dumps thank you and revolutionary guard naval vessels trump announced on national television we bombed the hell out of them last night signaling that the interim diplomatic deal is effectively dead and then today early this morning very early this morning iranian state media acknowledges widespread domestic explosions response to the bombing iran launched retaliatory strike targeting infrastructures inside bahrain kuwait qatar jordan oman sent commissars that the straight remains open stating iran does not control the traffic is flowing while this is going on a couple things to keep in mind is these different locations that were uh tom apparently these countries kuwait they were able to intercept a lot of these attacks that took place tom when you look at this one how is the market reacting to it two i saw the numbers on odds on what they're saying they're saying there's a 30 chances that this could escalate into something nasty even worse than what it was and oil prices can go back to 120 there's a 50 chance that this could drag out for quite some time till the end of the year and there's a 20 chance that this is going to be a quick seasonal thing boom we're going back to negotiation and things will be done where are you at with this time star wars the mandalorian and grogu is now streaming on disney plus what are you waiting for hop on the must-see galactic adventure comes home on disney plus this is the way our only chance is to work together i like this kid always wear your seat belt star wars the mandalorian and grogu now streaming on disney plus wait pg-13 when you need to build up your team to handle the growing chaos at work use indeed sponsor jobs it gives your job post the boost it needs to be seen and helps reach people with the right skills certifications and more spend less time searching and more time actually interviewing candidates who check all your boxes listeners of this show will get a 75 sponsor job credit at indeed.com slash podcast that's indeed.com slash podcast terms and conditions apply need a hiring hero this is a job for indeed sponsored jobs when you shop kroger delivery you can expect the savings you love and fresh groceries delivered right to your door our refrigerated trucks keep your items fresh while our associates are committed to getting every detail right carefully selecting and packing your order with care because bringing you fresh quality groceries is what we do best and right now enjoy twenty dollars off your first online order of seventy five dollars or more restrictions apply see site for details kroger fresh for everyone have you heard that mcdonald's spicy chicken mcnuggets made with spicy tempura and a blend of aged cayenne are back remember to grab a few extra napkins for a limited time at participating mcdonald's gray roots entering the chat uninvited garnier's got you garnier color sensation retouch covers up to one hundred percent of grays in just ten minutes no ammonia no mess and the color lasts up to four weeks it's as easy to apply as shampoo plus it's vegan and cruelty free ten minutes sensational color sensational price with those savings your next girls night is basically free find your perfect match at walmart.com or at a store near you well i look at to see how the price of oil reacts because the market has been reacting and i look at those numbers to see if how all of the invisible hands of the economy, Pat, that are out there helping us and working against us work. And as you can see here, oil is staying just a tick under 74. It was 73.50. The market's open now. It's 73.75. OK, great. So the market is maintaining calmness. Pre-market today for our major indexes, S&P and NASDAQ, half a percent up. So in other words, a normal kind of a Monday up after some positive economic news over the weekend. Not dramatic news, but good news, fair news. So the market is not freaking out. Now, you go down here and look. Take a look, Pat. There's actually 34 ships in motion. Remember how long we would look on there and there was like two, three, and they were being escorted by the military. Just one at a time, please. Well, guess what? There's some going through. Now, the other side of it is that there is the side that says, OK, it doesn't look like anybody's reacting. Here's the side I worry about. So Iran is launching things back across at all of those targets, and they're hitting two and three. I think they hit three separate countries on the other side. And it's like, wait a minute, this can get out of hand. And yes, the Iron Dome type technology, which is what we helped Israel with, that's out there. And by the way, just so you look at Jordan's air defense intercept regional threats, shooting down four incoming Iranian ballistic missiles over its sovereign airspace. Kuwait did the same. Same thing with their intercept interceptors. And then you got a couple other locations, not all of them, but some of them did get through. Right. And I think Kuwait and Jordan, I believe, are U.S. equipment, not U.S. ships, but it's U.S. technology on the ground there that we've shared with with with those countries. And so they're able to get it down. But this this is nuts. But the number one nuts part that I absolutely hated was that it was a it was a civilian, no words, private company tanker. That. And that just when when they're sitting there, you're looking at what happens if they really hit that. You have all this oil spilled in the Gulf and you'd have 25 innocent sailors that were working for our cargo company on Monday. And on Tuesday, they got killed by an Iranian missile. That, I think, is what's escalating this thing bad. Pat, is they're aiming at the innocent, you know, sailors that are on transport vessels. Yeah. I mean, look again, every time they do this, it unites the world with each other, specifically that region. They're like, OK, we're on U.S.'s side, not on Iran's side. But at the same time, while you're watching this, you have to remember that how quickly did this change when they had the funeral, their own state sponsored banner, state sponsored. That's kind of like imagine the U.S. State Department says kill Putin or kill something. It said kill Trump. Yeah. How do you really feel? Exactly. And then regime vows execution of leaders, high ranking Iranian figures published a state directive on July 11, declaring that American decision makers will take to their graves the unfulfilled will. Wish of dying peacefully in their beds. This is not language of somebody that wants to negotiate. So it's it's. And by the way, again, for somebody that was hoping for Iranians to be free, the 81 percent that want Iran to be free, the main guy that was spearheading this was Lindsey Graham, who died yesterday. That's why a lot of people are saying, well, maybe this could have a tie because of how Iran state media reacted to Lindsey Graham dying yesterday. Maybe there was something going on there. Adam, your thoughts with the story on Iran. So here we go again. I mean, if this were reality TV, Pat, let's be honest here. This would be like the most toxic breakup. Get back together relationship in soap opera history. I know you were a big fan of Beverly Hills, 90210. Shout out to Dylan McKay, Melrose Place. But just we're back again. We're friends again. They're crazy again. They're insane again. We're bombing them again. The Ayatollah is a great guy. He's a piece of crap. At what point are we like, oh, my God, I feel like, you know, who's getting fatigue? You know, this thing. Oh, it's a black fatigue. It's Israel. Fatigue. At this point, I feel like the average American just has Iran fatigue. Don't even get me started on the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is affecting everybody's lifestyle and gas prices more than anything in America at this point. So if I'm the average American and I'm thinking Strait of Hormuz, Iran, get this stuff out of my face. I think we all understand this. Iran, they want to basically take over the Middle East. They want to have their sort of Sharia law vision of the world. The end of times in America, we're focused on midterms. We're focused on midterms versus the end of times. At the end of the day, they're going to do what they got to do with this little soap opera. But who out there doesn't think that as soon as midterms are over, left, right or center, Trump isn't going to just bomb the crap out of these people like he has nothing left to lose? That's what I think is going to happen at the end of the day. Well, here's my thing. How much is on this podcast about what happened? But they could keep on doing this. And how much how much are we going to let them do it? Because all I keep hearing is, oh, we're going to do this. This is the brag. OK, the Air Force decimated Navy, all the ships at the bottom of the ocean. Pat, at what point at what point are we going to say, OK, enough is enough? Because to me, it seems like this isn't going to stop in two years. This is going to stop in 10 years because Iran first. I don't know how the hell they're doing it. Besides the mines, Tom, they have control of this this specific area. And as you said, that all the nations are trying to slowly come together. Like, wait a minute. These people are in control and it's whatever they dictate. The oil. It's going to go up and it's hurting everybody's wallet, especially regular Americans. So I'm because you taught how many times it's the solution. What is going to be the solution for this whole thing, Pat? And I don't see any solution other than literally going in there. I'm not saying I want us to do this, but I'm trying to figure out another way than going in there, invading and getting rid of the IRGC and freeing the people. There's no other way. What is other? Because then give me a solution on how this is going to stop. How are we going to stop Iran, Tom? From doing this every single week? We've heard the talking points about, oh, the Navy is at the bottom of the ocean. Oh, we got this. Oh, we got the only thing. that we know that we that we've hit is all the ships we can count the ships where they were on satellite and now they're not there they're they're sunk so number one but number two they've got missile installations everywhere and these really aren't missiles there's more like rockets yes right they've got rockets everywhere they're they're hidden five here four here five here that's what they got they're up in the hills we're up in the mountains and they keep launching them and they keep launching them with some reasonable level of um telemetry and guidance systems and they're getting targeting information that hasn't stopped we wait for a week and all of a sudden oh 40 missiles overnight going here here here here and here you know so that hasn't been decimated and that part is still there and operational and appears that they got enough of it that they got this waiting game that they could go out so we could talk about the navy talk about all these talking points but they still have enough almost like guerrilla warfare with with five missiles here there let me ask you a question tom let me ask you a question if marco rubio was president right now or jd vance was president right how would they have handled the situation with iran say they're the president right now how different would they have handled the situation if they're right on me i don't i don't think jd would have started it me personally marco rubio right now pat i think he'd be a little bit more aggressive you think he would have started it marco rubio absolutely okay so what would he what tell me what you think rubio would be doing differently than trump right now so let's go to that let's isolate specifically rubio what would rubio be doing differently you think you think he sees iran as a bigger threat than the president does rubio i think it's pretty pretty equal i think it's pretty yeah i don't agree he makes a good point i think it's pretty you think it's equal pretty even pat you think what you think more do you think rubio and trump i think rubio is five percent more than the president i think rubio is five percent more than the president i think rubio i agree with that and i think jd vance is far from the i i think rubio is slightly ahead of the president on how big the threat is and i think the president is more of a businessman where he's like look let's just freaking this is this is annoying let's just come back and do business like focus on green let's focus on this let's focus on that i think rubio would have uh would have gone a little harder than the president would have my opinion i agree i think there's one key difference i think the one key difference is everything rubio would have made sure that he had succession how does who's going to flow into this gap we saw what happened when we killed saddam hussein in iraq and all the crazies just swept in and went boom it's the same thing if you ever read the book or seen the movie charlie wilson's war the movie over dramatize it you know what hollywood does but it was a story of we helped the afghans get the russians out of afghanistan way way back and guess what when we left a vacuum the crazies swept in when we killed when hussein was found and the and then executed the crazies came in i think rubio by the way uh venezuela we knew there was a backup plan call it cia call it mikado call it what you want to call it but there was a plan for some sort of stabilizing leadership in venezuela i think rubio pat i think he would have made sure that those people either gonna the kurds are gonna support this these people are gonna do this and we're gonna have succession i think he would have this is how i see it this is how i see it i think all of us we have a different top five let's face it like if you were president right now your issues would be very different than if tom was president then if adam was pregnant if i everybody has a different uh priority list i just think iran will be slightly higher on the list for rubio than trump's and i think he would be uh he would be a he would be approaching the irgc in a very different way than the president is the president he's negotiated with everybody and he thinks he can get a deal with everybody i just and a part of it is like this like you know sometimes you're i'm trying to tell you you got a kid and i'm trying to tell you hey vinnie avoid that crowd and you're got it man i'm freaking 30 years old leave me alone dad let you see you having a conversation vinnie i'm just telling you avoid that dude are you freaking i got it yeah and then i'm like okay you know what guess what go every time you ask me for advice i give you zero advice yeah because i want you to go through it six months later you go and you hang out with that crowd you come back and say man you know you got to avoid that crowd i'm like no shit sherlock you know i don't say it to you right so i think sometimes you have to wrestle with the irgc to realize there are not even the nastiest ugliest person the president ever negotiated with is not at the level of nasty of irgs yeah i think that's right i think you got to kind of pick that up and kind of go go for that for yourself and he's going but pat trump is going for legacy at this point and like you said he just wants like get it over with and get it done with but these guys aren't going anywhere they're not going anywhere and marco rubio's think pat it would be a whole different uh like a approach to it but at what my point still is this doesn't seem like it's going to stop anytime soon but the only solution is going to be the one that nobody wants and it's going to have to be pat literally yeah go in there and get rid of all of them by the way root and stem the poll that we ran right now with the audience and i'm going to come to you the poll says who would go harder at iran trump or rubio they put trump 44 rubio 56 so even the audience thinks that yeah rubio would go slightly harder on it slightly not not a big again we don't know that we're purely speculative adam your thoughts yeah i'm with you on this pbd uh i think what what rubio would do different than trump he would not have signed that memorandum of understanding on june 14th let's be real here that memorandum of understanding was for one thing and one thing only it was sort of a trump birthday present to the world basically saying i got a deal done look at me listen we all knew that that deal wasn't getting done we all knew at some point that iran was going to break everything that they basically shook their hand on and basically we got to watch out like when ron shakes a deal shakes our hand they're probably doing this in the background so rubio probably would have been more of a pragmatic person trump is more of a deal deal maker and deal breaker at the end of the day i think rubio would have gone super hard on these guys jd vance would have been a little bit different we'll see what happened we'll see what happened here as we're going through it uh the reality of it is these are not the typical people you negotiate with they're just not and they're not going to keep any of their promises they're simply not they're wired in a mom donnie allegedly had a meeting to meet with the ambassador of iran it was on his calendar you know what mom donnie said oh i'm i'm sorry i didn't even know i didn't even know i had this meeting on my schedule oh wait i'm meeting with the ambassador yeah oh my god you know i have such a busy schedule i would have never had the meeting but you know what yeah we're not going to have the meeting why are you not going to have the meeting well because the state department shut down the meeting so if you want to pull up the story mom donnie's official plan is to shut down the meeting with iran envoy shut down by the state department go a little bit lower if you can and zoom in a senior official in new york city mayor mom donnie administration plan to have a meeting with iran's ambassador to the united nations before the state department reportedly intervened and the meeting was canceled commissioner anna maria uh leader of the mom donnie administration's office of international affairs was scheduled to meet with iran's permanent representative united nations amir saeed irvani uh tuesday city general first reported u.s uh official familiar with the matter confirmed to fox news that the meeting had been scheduled the reported intervention marks the second known instance in recent weeks in which the trump administration has stepped in over mom donnie's administration contact with foreign leaders highlighting growing federal scrutiny of new york city's international outreach under its new socialist mayor tom how big of a story is this this is big and let me tell you why what's going on when this happens or when gavin newsom did the whole thing which is now four years ago you know and by the way and by the way and swept all the homeless out of town stuck them on buses and sent them far enough away that they couldn't hitchhike or walk back until the chinese were gone and then put chinese flags up on there when a mayor does this and it's not just hey um mr president you know i reach out to you mr president we're going to do an international trade conference it's going to be here in san francisco we have a lot of trade on here a lot of semiconductors but we're going to be doing all this we're we're cool right we're going to be doing all this we're all right to do this we're going to have ambassadors and trade representatives and i come to you pat president and you would say to me okay you can do this this and this this and this thanks for letting us know that's probably planned out a year year and a half in advance instead we have proxy wars going on and let me explain what i mean so this is mondani a freaking proxy war against our own um you know administration the same way gavin did it this is them trying to do things that they want to have what's the outcome political what's the outcome he wants political allegiance and he wants funding he wants a lot of things he wants funding to come through the dark accounts back into packs to help him that's what he's asking for he's asking for a lot of things in my opinion this is tom's observant opinion asking cool he's asking iran and other dark sources of funding to come support him i'm that's my opinion i'm going there that's what i think i don't think it's going to work i don't think it's going to work i don't think it's going to work it's just before oh this is just you know this is just the the camaraderie of muslims in here no no the aspirations they have are bigger listen to talib listen to what she was screaming into the microphone this weekend their aspirations are bigger they are doing this and it's mayors basically running like a proxy war diplomatically against our own administration yeah and and you know this guy if there's one thing americans should be praying but grateful for is the fact that this guy wasn't born in America. America, because if he was born here, you know what the sky would be? He'd be the number one candidate for president ahead of everybody. He's just too good on what he's doing. And while this is taking place in New York, another story comes out. Mamdani's immigrant map omits Irish, Italian, Jewish contributors to New York City. New Yorkers are criticizing socialist Mayor Mamdani's administration for touting a map celebrating the city's immigrant enclaves that omits the Italian, Irish, and the Jewish communities that have been such integral parts of the Big Apple history. Mamdani's deputies promoted a new campaign in May to celebrate the city's ethnic neighborhoods with a map entitled New York City's Immigrant Enclaves that features 30 communities, including a number of Muslim communities such as Yemeni, Pakistani, Egyptian, African, Palestinian neighborhoods. Also represented are Chinese, Korean, Albanian, Colombian, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Indian, Haitian, Polish, and other neighborhoods. But critics are ripping the map for ignoring, if you want to pull that up a little bit so they can see it, ignoring European neighborhoods that were the original little, such as Little Italy, or the longstanding Irish and Jewish neighborhoods that helped build New York City throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. Queen's Republican councilwoman Joanne Areola ripped the city hall for exclusionary graphics and told New York Post that it appears Mamdani doesn't think Jews are italians and irish is irish count the post reported they were able to get a little boat tibet in there but uh what about the original little neighborhoods literally councilman areola said and what about the areas like the woodlawn in the bronx which are home to plenty of irish immigrants do the irish italians not count for mayor's office state assemblyman uh calman yeager bash mamdani for erasing jews and he added mr mamdani erasing jews is an essential part of the brand part of his brand no surprise joseph scalesa founder of the italian american museum on mulberry street said the mayor's map is terrible mistake italian americans are still a major population new york city to not recognize where italian americans came from and settled is a terrible mistake i don't understand why little italy isn't included adam your thoughts on this story i mean what a freaking disgrace if i'm the average new yorker if i'm an italian right now and i just woke up and i was like are you trying to tell me that mamdani erased little italy i'd be going crazy right now i think a lot of italians voted for cuomo but the ones that voted for mamdani disgracia what are you talking about right here if there was any group of people who helped build new york to what it's become you got to put italians at the top of the list then you got the jews then you got the irish and he conveniently left all three of them off the list but somehow the great mamdani the great wizard of communism he remembered little yemen and of course little palestine who can't forget the lovely time of year in little palestine click click boom the fact that this is what's going on in the modern day new york if you're a new yorker who's been born in new york and you're sitting around and being like yeah yeah i like what's going on here you obviously don't care about your city and you obviously don't care about your country and the you know vinny what's the one line from big pun back in the middle of italy that we riddle some middlemen who didn't do italy so there you go i listen to some big pun before you end up in punish punishment land mamdani okay get some big yeah and by the by the way you know you know uh andrew schultz had mamdani on and they did an interview with them i was homie they were glazing all over well they were interviewed no they loved what they had them on they had them on and it was a very positive supportive i'm willing to pay a little bit more taxes yeah but even andrew schultz this last weekend who was supportive of mamdani came out and said the following about mamdani saying 78 degrees this is what schultz had to say go for it we say ac it's 72 and below 72 degrees and below you're even a little high with that but i'll i'll let you ride i know zoron was saying keep it at 78 with it easy this is this is america he was feeling a little too good nixon five he was like off the high he's like oh we don't need it but he was wild getting a little hot on the collar 64 just despite him even suggesting our ac blew out me so you can pause it right there i mean listen this is how it works you can you can i i i like certain people's personalities i don't have to like your ideas one could like and say you know i like mamdani's personality let's just say maybe andrew likes mamdani's personality but not policies no matter how much i like you it doesn't mean i have to support your policies and now it's hitting the city and now you're seeing things that they would do how that's going to impact so what i'm what i'm looking forward to seeing is how a lot of the people that were supporting this guy are not going to come out and say holy shit what the hell is going on are we going to sit here and just take it and i don't know if you guys are watching what happened while they're talking about you know millionaires and billionaires and all this stuff guess who's giving themselves the biggest raise oh mamdani comes out and says they're giving themselves he's giving himself an 18.2 percent raise that's my that's kind of fair right isn't that great you get to pick and choose how much taxpayers should give you money i'm going to give myself an 18.2 percent raise go a little bit lower bill ackman's a zoom in a little bit if you can billionaire bill ackman questions new york city's mamdani on tuesday after a mayor appointed commission recommended an 18.2 percent salary increase for the mayor but that's a mayor appointed commission so hey uh vinnie yeah can you please i'm gonna have my wife appoint her as the commission to this dictate how much of a raise i deserve yeah is what i'm gonna do so what did my wife say i deserve i think she said you've done such a good job taxing everybody and ruin new york city that i think we should raise your salary by 18.2 percent oh my god well i didn't i didn't choose the raise it's a mayor appointed commission that chose this raise you know mamdani's appointed advisor commission is recommending an 18.2 percent for himself and other elected officials uh because of inflation yet his self-appointed rent guidelines board which is supposed to consider inflation inflation in setting rents froze rents for two years ackman wrote on x a question for mayor how is this fair or appropriate this is the part with contradictions coming up vinnie where are you at with this you're a new york guy yeah but these are like okay with all these people with everybody that's disappointed now like andrew and everybody i know it's just it's something small but it's the air condition i know he's being it's funny and i and i get he's a comedian but do you really think these people were that dumb not to know what a freaking self describe socialist communist supporter of freaking terrorists are you guys surprised like that you can't be that dumb you're educated you guys are smart and member was like i'll pay the one percent i'll pay the two percent it keeps going up they're paying themselves money and then when when people in his office are trying to meet with the ambassador of iran like what and it was made an error what are you talking about this is one of one of if not america's biggest enemies what are you trying to meet and if it wasn't for the state department tom finding out if this was a democrat run country department of justice ran by democrats they wouldn't care and what are you meeting about what are you talking about and connor said something earlier today that that kind of hit me pat when he said you're watching like a soft secession happening in new york right now because mamdani is acting like new york has its own country with its own foreign policy its own immigration policy own economic policy unless the federal government they need money then they go to the feds okay the goal isn't to work with the rest of america they're trying to take this one of the biggest cities the freaking city that never sleeps they're ruining this plate pat and they're fighting against this and when i tell people like this is the enemy from within and i'm telling you guys right now it's not an existential it's not happening right now but slowly start watching what these people are doing they hate america i watch an old clip of rashida talib and f you mother they hate this country and if you're too blind to see it and you keep supporting and saying no they're they're caring for the little person they don't give a damn because their morals their beliefs don't align with ours they don't i'm sorry they hate this country all of them talk crap about this country and they're putting policies and people in charge to destroy us from within people keep saying the enemy's at the gate they're not the gate they're inside on the couch they're in the front yard they're on the porch sitting on your couch for sure they are for sure they are and by the way don't let it fool you and by the way and by the way here's what i want you to think about question for you guys and while i'm doing this i want you to search this okay okay can you go back to the chart of okay don't even go to it they're trying to raise the mayor's salary to what 18.2 all right do you know what the salary of the mayor is right now two hundred three hundred thousand dollars two hundred fifty eight thousand dollars the 18.2 put him around three hundred thousand dollars can you pull that chart up okay so so if you look at that right there 258 with the new race he would be at 305 the public advocate would go from 184 to 218 the comptroller goes from 209 to 247 and then the borough president goes from 179 to 2212 okay now here's a question for you whose job is a bigger job mayors or jd vans jd vans whose job is a bigger job mayor mamdani's or uh pete hexsets pete hexsets how about marco rubio or mamdani marco it's not even guess what he makes more money than all three of them weird let me say the number here for you do you know the vice president's salary is 235 100 mamdani makes more money than him do you know the secretary of state marco rubio makes 250 000 mamdani mayor of new york city makes more money than him do you know the secretary of defense pete hex said his salary is 250 000 mamdani makes 8 000 more per year than the secretary of state and the secretary of defense and he makes 25 000 more per year than the vice president of the united states that's that's did you just hear what i just said right i can't believe a job of a mayor makes more money than all these other guys and what they're doing so now who's got more heavyweight right there if you look at it to verify jd vice president 235 goal is secretary of state 250 secretary of defense 221 but now it's at 250 600 mamdani makes more money than all of these guys with the job that he has and they still want to take him to 320 and your thoughts before we go to the next story pbd you just mentioned that mamdani his salary is going to be 305 305 000 i think is that what you said so there's a there's a story behind the story there thank you mamdani for everything you're doing i always give you credit your 305 000 salary is basically taking new york to record high rent we can roll the numbers and everybody's moving to the 305 mia because of you so i just want to thank you mamdani for everything you're doing did you see the news that rent is at an all-time high yeah if you want to pull that up instead it's 5300 dollars it's almost like they don't understand supply and demand yeah when there's not enough housing and there's high demand because people want to live in the city and then you implement this rent freeze and then the land uh the uh uh owners of these properties are basically saying yeah we're not going to fix this up because they can't charge any more rent so all of a sudden you have this stalemate and then rent becomes so freaking expensive meanwhile you go you're going to any other random city in america the average u.s rent you don't want to know what it is it's going to be a lot of money and it's going to be a lot of money sixteen hundred dollars you were asking people what the average rent was during the florida debate i think it was jay collins they got that right but at the end of the day mamdani keep doing what you're doing keep basically marginalizing the italians and the jews and sending anybody out of new york manhattan average rent right now median market 52.95 brooklyn 43.50 okay 43.50 new york city

building a building there that's their second headquarters 800 000 square feet why are all these major companies moving to texas tell us why tell us why cnbc all inclusivity and inclusiveness is bad and that's why it's one of the main reasons really or is it yours can you actually go and see who the hell wrote this article go and see who wrote this article for cnbc i want to know who this person is and i can't wait i just want to know who this person is who is this person scott cohen uh-oh he's got a hashtag guy scott cohen zoom in a little bit journalist methodology go to his website i actually want to know where this guy went to school i can't wait is there any way we can find out where this guy went to school to say those are the top 10 states because you know they'll take the

move to tennessee do you know how many people are moving to tennessee and are hoping this article goes viral because they don't want the wrong type of people to move to texas a lot of people a lot of people so what did he do he was at npr university and what do you i just want to know what school he went to uh wisconsin university of wisconsin he went to wisconsin good people come out of there but so i don't know maybe he's one of the 40 years experience journalism since 1981 university of wisconsin main east high school board of visitors school journalism at general school internal information yeah tom how do you process these types of nonsense top 10 lists when they rank the two best states that a lot of people are moving into well i it's almost like i don't need to process it you just did but i'll tell you i'll give you the why this is my observation tom's observation as to why these get written these are intentional political voice hit pieces they wake up in the morning and it's like hey look we need how do we how do we somehow throw shade for the american people they're trying to shade the people that are in the middle of the world and they're trying to shade the people that are in the middle of the world that aren't paying attention pap that watched cnbc they're trying to shade these red states and make them seem uninclusive and everything but you know what the reality is when people go to these states you have the same reaction that the visitors from europe and the world cup did oh my god texas brisket is good what buckies what an amazing thing what nice people look at the hospitality we get look at all this and so all that they find it this is nothing more than a hit piece politically to throw shade on the success of the red states but you said it find and find an algorithm remember everybody used to pick on google algorithms hey google algorithms they won't give you a fair remember the accusations vinnie they won't give you a fair search on covid research on ivermectin research somebody's playing with the algorithm well the algorithm is this guy this guy who is now with npr monterey bay oh there's there's a neutral news source npr monterey bay and he wakes up and he says hey look we gotta throw some shade at the other side of the world and he says hey look we gotta throw some shade at the other side of the world and he says hey look we gotta throw some shade at the other side of the world and he says hey look we gotta throw some shade at the other side of the world so i'm gonna write an article it's exactly as you say but what i'm adding to it my opinion my observation these things are intentional and they come from the political direction of the news directors up inside that is my observation that is my conclusion based on my own independent analysis i'm not accusing anybody of a crime what i'm accusing them of is is injecting personal editorial bias and calling for these adam your thoughts and lining them up star war star war

Look, this is one of those things that if you're solving for something, you'll find some stat that agrees with basically whatever claim you're trying to make. But what's the number one thing that everybody says is the number one issue any time that it comes to an election? What's the number one thing? The economy, stupid. It's the economy, stupid. It's affordability. So if you're talking about the least unaffordable states, not all these other things, air quality, worker protections, inclusiveness, trans rights, ESG, all these things. If you're talking about the least affordable states, there's the top five. That's California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. Now, what do all these big, beautiful states have in common? They're all the big, blue, beautiful states. So if you're solving for affordability as the number one thing, those are the states to avoid. And PBD, you hit the nail on the head. Net migration. People are moving to Texas. People are certainly moving to Florida. And people are moving to Tennessee. So don't be fooled by these ridiculous stats because they clearly have an agenda on them. Yeah. Vinny, any thoughts for you? No, I'm good. Okay. So there you have it. All right. So that's that story. Next story to get into is this article that came out talking about University of Chicago Law School bans devices to reduce AI reliance. And then it kind of coincides. The other story that shows a wake-up call about AI cheating. Brown University professor says, let me read both of them. And then, Tom, I'll come to you mainly. And then we'll go from there. So the first story I want to get to is University of Chicago decides they will ban first-year law students from using iPhones, tablets, and laptops in class beginning this fall, seeking to ensure students learn to think critically, strategically, and independently without relying on artificial intelligence with AI disruption. So that's the first story. And then the second story is that the University of Chicago Law School bans devices to reduce AI reliance. And then the third story is that the University of Chicago Law School bans devices to use iPhones, tablets, and laptops in class beginning this fall, seeking to ensure students learn to think critically, strategically, and independently without relying on artificial intelligence with AI disruption. And then the fourth story is that the University of Chicago Law School bans devices to reduce AI reliance. And then the fifth story is that the University of Chicago Law School bans devices to reduce AI reliance. Our commitment to rigorous legal education also must mean openness to even rapid adaptation. Adaptation administrators say a willingness to rethink our practices is consistent with our law school's long history of innovation. After a year of consultation with students, faculty, and law firm leaders, legal technology executives and the broader university community administrators concluded that students must develop independent reasoning while preparing to use AI in legal practice. So that's out. Now look at this one. Brown is going through the same thing. Brown University professor Roberto Serrano saw scores collapse between a take-home midterm and an in-person final, which I'm glad they did that, leading him to suspect widespread AI. Some students fell from perfect midterm scores to below 20% on the final. Serrano teaches welfare economics and social choice theory. The midterm was administrated at home after a school shooter killed two students in December. Whoa. The problem with this technology is that the cost of cheating has basically gone down to zero. It's very easy for students to succumb to the temptation. After Serrano announced that the final would be held in person, many previously high-score students dropped the course. Did you hear, Devaney? These guys scored a high number, take-home. All of a sudden, they're like, no, no, we're doing it in school. It's like, oh, shit, drop the course. Why? Because they haven't been studying at all. Others who earned grades in high 90s on the midterm scored in the 50s. You scored 90s in a take-home midterm. You're scoring 50s in school. Are you surprised Serrano shared the details with Brown's standing committee on the academic code on July 8th? University spokesperson Bryony Clark said the committee would proceed according to the procedure and that Brown treats every academic integrity allegation. With the utmost seriousness. Tom, your thoughts on this. Well, first of all, I love both these stories for two very key reasons. Number one, University of Chicago Law School, and people may not think of it like this, but law schools and MBA schools, business schools, they want to protect their reputation. And what they don't want is a bunch of people coming out zombies that don't know how to perform. I mean, Pat, how long would it take if you were doing a staff meeting and you're talking about strategy? We got some. We got some challenges. Hey, wait, it's February. We have some challenges. We need to make a plan on this and everything. People are sitting in your conference room. How many of them are sitting on laptop or an email? They're not. We're talking about the numbers in front of us and try and make a decision. If these people were just AI zombies coming at MBA school, how long would it take you to figure that out, Pat? Not long. 15 minutes. It'd be like you graduated from Harvard with a Harvard MBA and you can't come in here to this room and just speak intelligently, form sentences. You have your thoughts across and do this. You have to go back to your desk and let AI do for it. So Brown is, excuse me, University of Chicago. They're concerned about, number one, the reputation of the school. And number two, the ability of the school to attract students. I love what they're doing. They're saying, time out. Put all those devices away. Let's talk about legal theory. Let's hear you reason. Let's hear you debate a fellow student the way you would in a courtroom. The second is, I love what happened at Brown. And there are people that have. I've stepped out on this and have jumped on it to discuss it. I love the fact that there is a student that got a 95.5 on the midterm and a 95 in person in class on the final. And you know what he said? The teacher stepped back and said, the professor stepped back and said, you know what? I regarded that individual through observation throughout the semester as an excellent student and attentive in class. And I felt that he would probably do well. I was not. Guess what? So he's observing him in class. And then he gives him the. The in-person final, the guy goes, okay, let me take care of this. Boom. 95 and 95, which means he didn't cheat on the midterm. It's very, very even. Then there was another student. He said, I liked equally well, but the guy was somewhat less initiated. And he had a 55 in the midterm and a 55 in the final. Guess what? Consistency. Maybe he's working two jobs. Maybe it was, it was maybe he's struggling with the class, but the two scores proved he was there. I love these two stories because it's a shining a light on it that AI may be able to do assimilated research for you. Amy, I'm able to take some time. We use it for prepping for podcasts here, but when AI does the job for you, it's not you and you're not getting smarter and you've got Brown and university of Chicago, both blue schools who are waking up to it. And I love it, Pat, Adam, your thoughts on this. Well, the funniest thing that stuck out to me with this whole AI thing is, did you see the line where they said professors will designate classroom scribes to take notes for first year classes? You see that? And scribes, they haven't used scribes since medieval times. Like what's got, I know people, there's a lot of people out there that want to bring back the crusades. I'm not advocating for that just yet, but when we're using scribes in classrooms right now, it's like, maybe we've jumped the shark on this AI thing. And PVD, I know you're a big basketball fan for, I'll tell you this. I remember, you know, there's unfair advantages, right? So I remember when I was in ninth grade, they put me with the middle school team to play. I was scoring 30 points a game, 30 points a game. They're like, dude, you're crushing it. They go, okay, now you're going to play with the high school kids. I started averaging 10. Okay. Maybe I had an unfair advantage with the kids that are in middle school. When you actually start competing and not using technology and unfair advantages, basically cheating, you're basically going to be reversion of the mean. So I think this is going to become inevitable, whether it's medieval times, crusades, or taking away unfair advantages, kids are going to have to put down the phone and actually learn in order to do their job moving forward. Yeah, there you go. Look, I like that they're doing this. And I don't, set aside politics. If I'm taking a test home and I'm getting 95 and I'm doing it in school, I'm doing it at 50, what the hell are you teaching the kids to go to school? If I'm a parent, I'm like, why am I sending my kids to college? Screw college. I'm not even paying for this thing anymore. Parents get upset if they hear something like this. All right, let me get to the next story. extra i want to get to is i got so many good stories to go to i'm trying to see which one to go to next uh let's go to the gavin newsom saying elon musk owes him things so i want you to see this video he's doing an interview and they're talking about his experience with elon musk and he says well you know he owes us a lot of success and you know where he's doing this he's doing it here and you know what he's doing he's doing it here you know what he's doing he's doing it here as if he hasn't already made enough enemies that he doesn't need help with there's two clips you have the clip because we send it to you one of them was that you know is that the one so i want you to watch this clip and can i warn people guys do me a favor if you're watching this don't let his hand gestures mesmerize you because you're going to lose the stuff that's coming out of his mouth try not to pay attention to his hands go ahead go ahead elon musk look uh one of the great disappointments one of our one of the great innovators of our time i brought up edison before he's edison our time it breaks my heart i was the first and you know it's got one of the first teslas off the line i've been one of their biggest proponent supporters was regulation in california that created the conditions that allowed him to take the risk to become the multi-billionaire maybe trillionaire that he's become including solar city and some of the regulatory frameworks that launched elon musk and he launched this space now he's going to space and he's now turning his back not only in the state that promote him though he has no problem getting the r&d tax credits and moving his world headquarters on rd here and having grock here and most of his talent here which is also interesting but right now he's allowing and i think this is trump not just elon musk he's going to allow the greatest on goal in i think one of the most significant on goals in the next decade is seeding the ev space to china they have 70 of the global eme market it's about statecraft with them it's about supply chains they're flooding the zone all around the world and they're they're flooding the zone all around the globe including now right on the border into china into canada where they're going to 49 000 cars getting that tariff down there and it's a stack play it's a national security play and i really fear what's going to happen to american legacy automobile manufacturers elon was the one accelerating that now he's put the brakes on his own innovation in that space and now shifted to robotics human right there including your thoughts uh if you were in fact check on this we would have to do a 24-hour podcast the number of things on there is just shocking so i'll sum it up as this this is gavin newsom clearly throwing shade on elon musk and trying it just really seems he's trying to take credit for the regulatory environment that somehow gave elon musk a blank canvas elon musk didn't have a dream to go to mars because of a blank canvas california gave him let me tell you ebay bought paypal at the end of 2022 within seven months 20 excuse me 20 2002 within seven months 2003 elon had launched tesla and then he took it public in 2010 look at the amount of time it took do you think in seven months the state of california could have done anything no and by the way gavin newsom wasn't in sacramento in 2003 when he built tesla gavin newsom when did he become governor was he in governor in 2010 when elon musk went public no good grief oh yeah but you know he's intimating that his regulation intimacy there so i think this is disingenuous pat i'm not going to go on and on i'm going to say it's disingenuous it takes so many words to say it which tells you how much he's trying to stretch and morph the argument and i think this is an insult to entrepreneurs everywhere for you to sit back because guess what he's taking a uh a um a page out of the old playbook and i'm going to quote somebody i'm going to quote somebody uh first of all you got a pack of salems okay and second of all you didn't build that yeah um that like your mic drop moment no yeah that is i'm i'm not trying to be funny i'm saying he's saying the same thing that obama said when you didn't build that i got it tom you know you know what's annoying about this kind of stuff is how entitled politicians speak sound like when they talk that way how entitled they sound when they talk that way it is so flipping annoying when you hear them talking the way that they do as if like you owe him something you know this guy goes and creates all these jobs like yeah let me tell you oh stop it already stop it already good for elon for what he's doing knew somewhere he had another clip i don't know if you have the other clip with taxes do you have that one check this out he's getting a lot of people are saying he's direct and put it on trump watch this you've had 20 years of my taxes yes since i know you love taxes donald trump's releasing here well i am because that's why i've released all my taxes for decades and you will have all those new taxes yeah because i have no reason why you haven't gotten them already so i have no problem he's just brushing people off yeah i mean look arrogant when you uh has he actually released his taxes for 20 years because if he has why is he getting so nervous yeah you know what i'm saying it it i'm sure he has as a governor but he just kind of looked a little bit uncomfortable you know the allegation with the fact that his wife allegedly took a lot of money from that charity i don't know what the number was 2.8 million 2.8 or something like that no by the way the report says gavin newsom has not released 20 years of his taxes newsom released multiple years of tax returns during his political career including filing covering five years through 2020 when he ran for re-election california in those disclosed newsom and his wife jennifer siebel newsom reported one and a half million dollar income in 2020 and paid about 480 in taxes newsom has pledged to release his taxes every year in office but he has not made additional return public since 2020 so he's lying he hasn't released his taxes since 2020 and what was the one report was it the 2.8 million dollars is it the 2.8 million dollars that we saw uh i think so with the diaper situation the most advanced diapers of all time by according to their price i think i saw that way she got paid so so then that's why he's getting nervous because if you did release your taxes why would you be so nervous you don't have to be nervous so now we know he hasn't released his taxes during gavin newsom yes there has been claims involving amounts in the millions but the details matter the 2.8 million dollar figure appears to refer to money connected to her non-profit work and related entities over time not a single simple salary paid to her personally irs filing shows she received compensation from non-profit uh one analysis reported that her total compensation from the organization at about 1.8 million dollars from 2011 to 2024 and then there's some numbers that are 2.8 to 3.7 million but just look you know what the tax situation is if he's good he's good i mean the what do you call it elections coming around the corner next couple years he's got to be ready for it i will tell you this though for the state of texas you know we made four hats for different states can you go and show those hats i sent to you for the people that are proud floridians they're going to be ready for it they're going to be ready for it they're going to be ready for it these hats were on fire at the gubernatorial debate it's your hat future looks bright on the front and your state if you can go next so they can see the florida on the side this is one of the no on that yeah just go to the next slide go go to the next slide go to the next one to show florida on the side right i don't know if you see it boom there you have florida there and then we have three other states we have california we have texas if you can go to texas reason why i want texas to get some love look at that one of the hottest items we got is this here because people proudly say future looks bright living in texas to the people in california new york you know i got a yankees gold chain that my wife got me for my birthday i've had this for a few years and i'm wearing a yankees jacket i want to see new york succeed are you flipping and i lived in california for 24 years every one of these states i have a direct relationship with so if you are proud floridian proud texan proud californian or proud new york go up there and represent these hats can we put the link below and by the way if you go to vtmerch.com just put the texas in the search the hats will come up like this anyways let's get to the next story next time i'm going to get into is a story about let me see which one we should go to i got i got quite a few good stories to get into do we want to go into what marco rubio did let's go into marco rubio video i'm going to come to you with this one last week we reported on a story that vinnie brought to us a man had raped a 10 year old and i'm like there's no way this story is true and the guy comes out and says this is our culture and as we got deeper you know what we learned about the story the man who raped a 10 year old married the 10 year old sister and later on in life the sister said i don't want to judge him we've moved on our family's doing great we want to do nothing about that wait what and then the governor tim waltz allegedly pardons him he pardons him so he doesn't have to get deported back to his country yes and this guy's from where laos laos yeah so marco rubio suddenly people forget about the story like wait this is it marco rubio's like no no no no no that 10 year old girl that was raped who says now he doesn't need to be held accountable you live in america we have laws here and we protect people here and this is what marco rubio had to say go for it just weeks ago a convicted sex offender and a foreign national was shielded from deportation by the governor of minnesota laotian national tuli vang was convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a 10 year old girl in the state of minnesota and she was arrested for rape and in the state of Minnesota. He even tried to pay his victim for her silence and he called his heinous his crimes a minor thing. Just days before this foreign sex offender was scheduled to be deported, Tim Walz, the governor, issued him a pardon, setting him free to once again endanger the children of America. Well, this week I revoked his legal status in the United States, and as a result, federal agents took him into custody, and as of today, he has been removed from the United States. Because of our action, this foreign criminal will never pose a threat to any American ever again. Americans must never be forced by their elected leaders to live alongside foreign sex criminals who have no right to begin with to reside in our country. This administration will always stand with the American people and defend them from violent criminals. Star Wars The Mandalorian and Grogu is now streaming on Disney+. Hop on.

Tim Walls is sitting there, guys, and saying that he feels sorry. He feels sorry that he goes, I find no reason how it's safer. It's crazy that we're in this AI world. I have to keep checking if this is fake or if it's real. And this is a real clip of him. Mind you guys, this is a guy that repeatedly. He did so much bad stuff to this child that when I go to Chad GBT and I'm trying to help them word my stuff and structure my thing, it says, this content can't be shown for safety reasons. Chad GBT won't even let me research this topic because it's so bad. And this is what Tim Walls' attitude is towards this child rapist. Go ahead. This is about the guy we just watched? This is about the guy. And this is two weeks ago. Yes. Go for it. In this case, I would state this, that I can find no reason how Minnesota will be safer or better if Mr. Vang is deported to a country he has not been to since he was a child. Look, stop that right there. Is everybody listening to what the hell he said? I don't see how America is going to be safer without a child rapist, Pat. I've talked about this before, guys. Alcoholism, all this stuff. You still have that disease. I'm going to be a drinker. I'm not drinking, but it's still in me. You know what I'm saying? You have temptation, but for me, it's almost all gone. If your thing is child rape and molestation and pedophilia, that doesn't just go for. You don't go to an AA meeting. You're like, yeah, I'm recovering. No, no. That stays with you forever. And his attitude is, I want to keep this person here and not send them to Laos because it's going to be unsafe for him. Is that crazy? And what really, really scares the hell out of me is this guy, Tim Walz, was a couple of swing states away, Pat, from becoming the vice president of the United States. And we keep talking about enemies from foreign and domestic. This is the people, guys. This guy lived, by the way. He was somewhere in Minnesota. I'm telling you, if this guy. I already know where you're going. Look at him, Pat. You know there's got to be a game. I can't even get this. It's too crazy of a game. There's got to be a game for people like this to. You know how you watch that show? Is it Squid Games? Squid Games. And then what's the other one? The Squid Games, and there's another game like that that's on TV that people like to watch where you're a survivor or whatever. You make it or you don't make it. Hunger Games. Hunger Games. Take these types of people and move them to a country that is laws are different than here and do a real life Squid Game. I mean, what's the point of this? Forget about them. At least turn it into entertainment and watch them go through it instead of having them sit here. Maybe Squid Games, whoever came up with that idea, is a good idea to take some of these people like this for others to say, dude, I don't ever want to be in that game. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't ever want to be in that game. I don't ever want to be in that game. Go take him doing what you're doing to that 10-year-old kid and then later on. And he was an adult when he did that to the 10-year-old. Of course he was. But so my question is to you, Pat. You're a father living in Minnesota and you hear your governor saying, wait, wait, wait, this child rapist, I'm not going to send him back home. He's safer here. Is that boggling anybody else's mind? It's crazy. Alien versus Predator. The next story I want to get to is. It's a very different story that we have that we can go on through. So should we go into the World Cup or not yet? No, I'm not going to go into the World Cup. Let me get to the CEO story. So check this out. It's a great story. Chipotle CEO uses team dinners to spot potential leaders and there are four qualities he looks for. I actually like this. There's four qualities he looks for. Okay. So Chipotle CEO, Jason Kidd, no relation to the other Jason Kidd, visits about a dozen stores each week, ending his days with roughly 90 minute dinners, attended by 304 regional employees. The meal helps strengthen operations, reveals employees' careers, ambitions, and identifies candidates for internal promotion. We're constantly identifying internal team of talent during these visits, seeing how people show up and seeing how they react. Chipotle promoted 23,000 workers last year, including all of its new regional vice president. In March, the chain employed more than 135,000 people across 4,100 locations and planned to open as many as 370 new restaurants this year. Kidd, who joined Chipotle last year after serving as Taco Bell's COO, looks for four qualities and potential leaders. First, they care for colleagues and collaborate effectively. At the end of the day, we run a people business, so you need to make sure you take care of your own people. Collaborations and a relationship building become increasingly important as employees move into senior role. Number two, strong candidates who own the outcome. They take responsibility for results, whether positive or negative, and assess their performance honestly. If somebody can own the outcome of what they're doing, they're likely going to be a good leader. Number three, they anticipate problems. This is like our language. I'm loving what he's saying here. They anticipate problems instead of merely reacting. We don't need firefighters. We need people who could be ahead of the issues and what's going on. And last but not least, they solve problems rather than simply identifying them. Restaurant operations inevitably produce difficulties, and effective leaders arrive with solutions instead of raising concerns. By the way, this one you think about, so if you really, one of them is what? Collaborate effectively. They own the outcome. They anticipate problems instead of just reporting it. And last but not least, they solve problems instead of just identifying it. So for the last 20-some years, one of the things I used to do when we first started our insurance company is, and I told you this story, I think maybe I told you this last week, every Tuesday night, I would cook for my guys. So we would finish our sales meeting at the office, and Tuesday night when it's over with, people would come to my house, and I would ask people to bring their wives or bring their family. So we have this place, and I'm making my famous chicken barbecue that I do, which is legendary. You age backwards. A lot of people say when you eat it, you age backwards. I lost my hair. When I used to make this barbecue in my apartment 25 years ago, everybody in the community would show up because they could smile. Can I get a piece? I would say, here, take a piece. It was just phenomenal. But anyways, I'm cooking. And you know what it is when I'm cooking? I'm talking to people. So hey, tell me how long you guys have been together. Oh, wow, okay. So what do you do right now? What do you think about this insurance thing he's trying to do? Well, I don't really think it's going to work. Do you think it really works? What's your concern about working and not working? What are your dreams? I said, well, we'd like to one day, how long you guys been married? 12 years. Did you think 12 years ago when you guys got married, you would be in the situation you are right now financially? No, never thought that. Okay, so what did you think life would look like after being married for 12 years? I thought 12 years later, we would be. and da da da da da okay so if you don't do anything differently now what's life going to look like 12 years from now oh probably the same so what alternatives do you have what choice not a lot so okay so maybe this is something you ought to entertain and support your husband yeah that does kind of make sense and then we would have that conversation then i would be like oh that guy's wife i like because she's positive she's supportive oh she is super negative you can pray for him nothing's gonna happen with him because she is such a negative so this model of getting to know your guys just last week was it last week when i was making the omelets for people i don't know what it was yeah yeah yeah maybe a week ago week and a half ago i'm making omelets i made i made a hundred omelets that day for two hours i'm not gonna front they were pretty and you know what was the one thing about making the omelets every omelet takes about two minutes to make that's about a minute and a half to make you know what time i had i had a minute and a half to two minutes to get to know you so where are you from what's your background how long you been with us what do you do here i'm an engineer of yours or what else do you do da da da i think more leaders need to know you and i think more leaders need to know you and i think more leaders need to know you get hands-on to get to know their people effectively and by the way i'm going to give a book recommendation to you guys right now this is a book that anybody that reports directly to bezos has to read you ready the book is called the goal it's sold over 10 million copies it's i recommend you buy this book and buy the audiobook and listen to the audiobook while you're reading the book it's a ridiculous book to read that's a ridiculous book to read uh on operating and the guy the story of the guy in the book he's going through marital issues his wife leaves him while he's operating so it depicts the exact challenges that a person goes through who is trying to be a good executive good person running a company that there's a lot of additional moving parts and stuff that happens that you're not aware of so i highly recommend reading this book i got another one here i'll recommend to you here in a minute as well but as a coo or ceo if you don't get to learn stories about your guys long term you don't find out who they are you don't get to know who the stars are sometimes stars will be hidden underneath a shielding manager that doesn't want you to know that the real star is under that person like whoa we would have never found out about that person and you have to overlap them you have to overlap them or else there's going to be so much politics taking place and you'll continue losing good people year after year and that's not a good thing for you to do i want to get to the next story next story is uh and by the way tom i'll give you something here because you as a ceo for the last 20 years you've been very good at i mean you've been instrumental in the way you've helped with morale becoming a better executive whether it's tk whether it's mario whether it's a lot of different people what are some things you do when you're locked i mean some of the people that tom had ended up becoming a cmo of snapchat i mean the people that tom's worked with the last 30 40 years became players what would you say you look for when you're developing people on your team i look at adaptability and ability to learn uh secondary the first thing i look for is just people that are really passionate and sharp about their skills uh if they're passionate and sharp about it they're constantly honing it they're constantly trying to be better that's the individual part but then i want to look at adaptability and learn because i give people frameworks hey if you're going to be a leader over here here's the framework that you have to do this is what you have to do as a leader you have to lead people and one of the phrases i give to people i says look it can't get done by you it's got to get done through you to a larger team not by you but through you that's the leadership development and if they'll adapt and they'll learn and they'll apply then i can take somebody that's got good technical skills like maral was phenomenal with commission she was great with finance great with focus and i said look i i think you could influence so much more because where you're going get it done not by you but through you and then influence the people while maintaining the culture that you're under the other part that i really focus on people as i say look you've chosen to be here wherever here is whether that is jammed that back in 2004 or whether that's php or that's value attainment or but david consult thing and there are cultures there are you bought into what this organization wants to do because that's not about tom developing you that's are you bought into this and then i can run with that because i'm working with and for you and as soon as they commit to that and i says okay then i think you're going to be successful here but then it's a million little things as you walk the road yeah and i've seen you go through it and it's the time's ability to project manage is phenomenal and we you know we're off site so we're doing stuff for your preparation podcast one of the things i'll always do with jake i'll say jake give me the entire list checklist of everything we need to do and he'll come in boom boom boom boom boom boom and if we don't have checklist created to get certain things knocked out at all we're always we're missing a wire we're missing a this we're missing a that we're missing a this no checklist put the stuff together so you don't have to go through it as you're building it but a major shout out and a prayer to morale and her family they had a very unfortunate situation this past weekend that was going through but our prayer and love is with that entire family we love them and just so you know we're thinking about you all the time and uh we love you guys we love that entire kishish and beckham family one of the most special families i've met in my life such a special group of people anyways okay uh let's go to the next story next story i want to get into is um something that has to do with leadership and i want to address and i kind of like this story it has to do with world cup but it's different and it's complicated and say you know what i'm saying very very complex situation so the world cup matches we watched we saw what happened so let's kind of go through a couple of them right so who got kicked out so you know england beats uh norway england beats norway and holland which by the way if you watch that game there's a clip that you have where this one teammate of holland could have passed him twice he didn't there's all this commentary afterwards the clip we're playing is from a fan so we can show it it's not a clip from uh espn so i want you to see this clip here this right here is a clip of a guy who is going in and and look who is wide open who do you see it's wide open he's the look at him oh my god get the freaking pass no he wants so guess what he wants to be the score and then holland's like what are you doing and by the way in the postgame interview he even said we could have made some better decisions you can tell he's defeated give me the flip there's a reason why he's the number three scorer in his first world cup for norway all he had to do was pass this goes over time who knows what happens so who ends up winning england and by the way he's the number three scorer in his first world cup for norway all he had to do was pass this goes there's a few people that won millions if not tens of millions of new fans holland is probably at the top of that list messi's always had him ronaldo's always had it vizinho is the one that probably won the most the goalie was like holy shit who is this guy now it's going to remind me but let me tell you what's going on here that's very interesting so no one's talking about everyone saying spain's gonna win it france is gonna win it argentina's gonna win it you know no one's talking about no one's talking about england they're not talking about england you know who's england about to face argentina and guess what you know when's the last time they faced is the hand of god and of god you know which goal i'm if we if they had var back in the days argentina ain't winning the world cup just so you know that it would have been a hand of god so check this out the coach of england is the third non-british coach they've ever had third non-british coach they've ever had and uk england they have two of the top five biggest scores in this world cup in england cane and bellingham if i'm saying it correctly correct me there jake if i'm not saying it correctly okay while this is going on england in 2025 decides to go get this coach his name is thomas to shell to kill to kill however we want to pronounce it and this guy just to kind of give you his resume he was a soccer player as a kid he was a defender his father coached him he tried to go pro he played some minor league type of soccer stuff 2025 at 25 years old he gets an injury he goes and becomes a bartender while he's trying to be a coach damn and then eventually he gets the opportunity he's 52 years old later on after retiring he ends up coaching and he ends up winning his first major trophy with borussia borussia dortmund yeah lifting germany cup in 2017 then at psg he won league one then took psg to their first ever championship league final in 2020 they lost to bayern munich a team that he beat when he was with dortmund then he becomes a champions league winner with chelsea in 2021 beating manchester city in the final this is a legit coach here okay then he wins the uefa super cup and fifa world cup with chelsea in 2021 then he's named the fifa coach of the year in 2021 now he's his reputation this is the part that gets tricky and it's all about leadership and business he's got a reputation of being a tactician being a perfectionist and super demanding with his players super demanding with his players which you know what ends up happening because of this personality that he has they win the game when they win the game he doesn't sound like a coach that is happy about them winning the game and he kind of calls out the team and bellingham didn't like it this is what the coach had to say and then i'll show you what bellingham had to say go for it there's no mentality problem this is pure mentality this is a dangerous coach for argentina mentality you can bottle it up and sell it this is yeah so why is the problem for mentality we made life very very difficult for day one yes the result is fantastic we're in the last four minutes it's amazing but not happy with the performance can you imagine every sense it was uh again the commitment is there but we made life very very difficult for us in the in the way we played how we played sloppy a lot of technical mistakes not fast enough uh not repetitive enough we were lucky today was that the occasion getting to the players i want you to pause right here pause right here okay so he is the kind of coach that is a Super annoying coach for players, but a great coach if you're the coach. country or the team that's hiring that coach by the way do you know each team each job that he had i think he had a fallen out disagreement or got fired after they won the chelsea championship two months later he got fired he left because of disagreements with management so this is a very difficult guy so then watch what bellingham says bellingham no so imagine you just won and you scored and you just scored two goals back to back i think i don't know how many people have scored back to back two goals in that much of a elimination run i think he's one of only two players that's ever done this so it's not like he did something small and look what happens to him look what he says look what the guy asks and look what he says go for it thomas has just been quite critical of the performance after the game does that show the standards that he expects the standards you guys expect of each other and maybe that there's more to come from the team maybe well maybe he doesn't know what it what it's like to play in those kind of conditions against erlin harland other guard new sash saw off you know that's not an easy team he doesn't know um you know i think we've tried to create a positive environment for him and he's not going to be able to do that he's not going to we should continue that going into the the final four i can't speak highly enough for the lads you're not going to win every game popping the ball and making a thousand passes sometimes you have to win dirty and we've done that again tonight okay so now you hear something like that okay and then the coach is asked again and again in a different envy i'm not going to play that he's still saying we're not there yet you know who should be worried argentina should be i was just gonna say all i'm just gonna say all i'm saying is that you're not the opposing team to have a coach like that i don't ever want and by the way typically coaches like that that create that much pressure bellingham and him may not be able to play together twice this may only happen one time england may end up winning the world cup this year because they got a psycho coach like that i think so to to get a person like that demanding where the freaking guy scores two goals and after the game he's like you look at his face a little he looks disgusted look at bellingham's face he looks go a little bit that's not bellingham go a little bit he looks disgusted yeah he's like i know you're gonna ask me this shitty question i don't want to answer it so my wild card to everybody out there here we go look i i want france or argentina i want a rematch but i tell you this coach this coach and this team is this coach is a real coach this team is a real team if you think for a second england's gonna walk through england and you know argentina is gonna walk through england i i think you have a you have another thing coming i i hope argentina is aware and the coach's mentality reminds me i have only one thing to say pat the coach's mentality reminds me of one thing that both of you and i hold close to our heart when i hear him talk you know what i hear in my head job's not finished that's right that's right but but that's that's a tough type of person to work with or play and so yeah to work with to play with any of that stuff if you can have the tolerance you will win a lot of championships but you have to be willing to have the same size of uh and by the way if they win you realize what happens if england wins oh if england wins if england wins if england wins beats argentina then england beats france or spain holy shit yeah again full disclosure i have one of mbappe's best cards i bought five years ago for a quarter of a million dollars financially yeah of course i want to see argentina france but i like the coach of england and can we can we be open can we be honest because we've watched how many games at this point i don't and i know we have a bunch of people around us that love messy and they don't have it this year they don't have it this year england france no no uh i don't think argentina has it yeah yeah don't get guys messy to me is the best he doesn't have the attitude of cristiano ronaldo posting old school 2016 stuff or whatever i'm just telling you guys because we watch every game france is having fun mbappe's is electrifying they're like enjoying the game at the end of the day guys it's a game if you're not having fun if you're just like oh you're not gonna win mbappe looks mbappe the only team that looks like it's superior to everybody else a thousand percent but pat me personally i love this type of attitude from a head coach think about it they're singing singing wonderwall and having a great time you haven't won anything i want a coach to be like yo yo we made this many mistakes and it's not like he's lying check the tapes they were playing a little bit uh you know loose and you know not fouling at the wrong time or playing lazy like i want that you don't want anybody kissing your butt and you're down the four yeah i think it's good pen i like that tension because now you know what's going to happen bellingham has a little freaking grudge now he's going to go out there like okay you want to play games i'm going to score three goals if bellingham gets two goals again oh my god back to back to back in the eliminations one of the greatest single performances in the elimination round ever by players so i think so adam any any insight from you well i'll tell you from experience you want to know the most annoying person to work for or be coached by is someone with high standards it is so so annoying and demanding and someone with high standards will make you question everything. But here's what I've learned. The coach with high standards, the leader of the high standards will get more out of you, get more out of the people that he, that work for him or that play for him than any other coach. And believe me, I know from experience and I'm not even talking about you, PPD, all my sports. I'm just saying every time that I've had a coach in school, anytime you know, there's like, Oh, he's, he's a player's coach. He's a player's coach, but you can be likable and the people like playing for you, but you don't necessarily win the coaches that have gotten the most out of me. And I played college football. I played basketball, high school basketball, everything above the guy. You're like, Oh my God, with this guy, just leave me alone. That guy is going to get the most out of you. Run a poll to see who the audience thinks is going to win the world cup, Argentina, England, France, or what's the last one? I'm Spain. Can I get, can I get the most, most boring team to watch play? I just can't do Spain. It's so flipping boring. It's like, it's like watching the 2000, 1990 San Antonio Spurs or, or the early nineties calves with Mark Price and Craig Elo and Brad Doherty and bullshit, bullshit, just a boring team to watch. But before we watch Spain, I'm about to get all these minutes from Spaniards upset at me because Lomila mall is going to be passing up everybody. But stop it. Who do you, okay. If you had to guess right now from our audience, what percentage is going to be, who's going to be number one and two? I think number one will be Argentina. I think a number two will be France. I think it'd be, uh, because of what I just said, influence England a little bit, and then I think it'll be Spain, but let's see. I'm going to, I'm going to say France, our audience, France, Argentina, England, Spain. Well, but you know, if we put Portugal, some people would have voted for Portugal, even though they're out there, Portugal fans are delusional fans. And you love them. They're good people, but my gosh, who's first. Oh, they put France first, Argentina, second, England, third, Spain last. There's something about Spain. That's just boring as hell. They're right. They're right. Look at that. I was right. A Francis one, Argentina two. There you go. All right. Okay. I just want to see a rematch. I just want to see a rematch, but coaches like that, man. I can't wait. Let's do, let's do a, let's do two other stories and a wrap up again. Folks, you're above 80. I told you stick around. It's a health matter. It's the last thing we're going to look at. It's, it's very important. But the first thing I want to get into is the following. So Conor McGregor, everybody was waiting for this five year of him not fighting. Oh my God. Conor's going to fight Holloway. And you know what? Everybody was looking forward. This, this side. Cause I was like, bam, bam, bam, bam. Going back and forth. And then next thing, you know, we're sitting there and you know, everybody's up, you know, it's Argentina games going on while this is going on. Oh shit. Which one should we watch? So we're watching the fight on the phone and we're watching the game. On TV. Cause the game is more important than the fight. And then all of a sudden, boom, five seconds. It's over. What? What happened there? And then the speculation started four days ago. He went and saw a doctor with his leg and you can, we can't show that clip by the way. Uh, we cannot show that clip. No, that's the one right there. No, no. You have it right there where he's walking into. Is that, is that, this is Hollywood fix. Conor McGregor was seen walking into Newport four days before. Can you check what AI to see? Pain management clinic. Do me a favor and check to see. Can you go on the bottom of it and see if this is true? Uh, uh, yeah, typically people will do it, but if you want to do it your way, it looks pretty real. Okay. So please clarify, verify claims. Okay. So some people said, uh, is there already community note in this video? Kind of, you know, appears normal with no visible limb reports. Confirm his leg injury occurred during the opening minute of the fight. So he looks fine. By the way, anybody go would go there right before a fight as well. It's not like he is limping to me. He looks normal. A lot of people said. I said, he looked bad here now, pre fight. He was standing there. He was kind of, you know, having a hard time standing on one of the legs, but then while he was practicing, he was kicking, it's not like he wasn't kicking and throwing kicks in the back, you know, just preparing for the fight. And then I'll write the goal a little bit lower. And I don't know if we can show that or not. That's the part where, you know, he won't put any weight on that. Yeah. He won't put any weight on the right one. So that's when people are like, well, we knew. And then fight starts and then MGK, which I don't know if you guys know the beef with MGK and, uh, that's the shadow. Shattering of the leg. You see that? No, no, no, no. That's not it. That's not it. Is that the one? Is there another one? No. Cause I saw a picture of what that was not the one. No, that's why are you teasing us with stuff? It looks like somebody put a shotgun. That's a joke. I see it. You went a little bit higher. I saw it for a split second. What it was. That was a big joke. Yeah. Hence. Uh, so anyways, so that happens and you know, a lot of people come out and they knew he had to get in the ring to get paid $30 million. Yeah. He doesn't step foot in there. He doesn't get his 30. He has to get in there. $30 million. So the world was looking forward to it. MGK who had issues in the past with M and M and which, by the way, he made a video responding to Eminem and then Eminem responded back and I think it was over from there but here's MGK at Conor go ahead I'm aware I did a post yesterday and I should probably apologize for um absolutely nothing homie fuck this dude that's how beef works we don't like each other everyone's saying oh you commented on his age he's only one year older than you about his knees hey guess what he don't age the same my knees are awesome oh you wouldn't say it to his face I already did that's why a picture exists of this little leprechaun punching up and missing me and me not flinching where the fuck is the rest of the footage where we toss this little guy like a piece of dirty drawers across the red carpet that's why all the footage starts with him far away buddy you look like a drunk ugly extra in a Sherlock Holmes movie what in the 1934 am I looking at fix your face holy shit oh that's me why are you kicking him while he's down dude fuck this dude this guy when he's down up sideways while I'm you know what okay can I please go pbd go ahead go ahead all right this is the problem with internet culture does anyone think that if two of these two guys were in a room together machine gun kelly who's probably never shot a gun in his life paints his fingernails pink yes he's banging a hot chick I'll give him that sorry for the kids out there does anybody think if you drop these two guys in an alley by themselves that MGK would be walking talking speaking or living nobody it's so easy you know Drake famously said the line when trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers this guy is a fake tough guy talking about one of the most decorated likable greatest champions of all time in the UFC and MMA the fact that he's taking away Connor's shine let me tell you and took it away from him yeah it's ridiculous this should be about Connor you know what's gonna happen greatest who's ever done it okay let's play a game way too aggressive game for you ruined his knee ruined the fight what are the chances shut his mouth what are the chances that Connor and MGK are gonna see each other as some kind of a party or an event for sure and what are the chances what are the chances Connor beats the living crap out of him I mean he's a father of three kids now what are the chance that he does that oh after you know what I would do if I'm Connor right now I would do the following I would say MGK please quote tweet this that the next time I see you in the streets or at an event that if I beat the living crap out of you you don't sue me can you please quote retweet this so the public knows yeah and it's almost like you're being held harmless it's on a lawsuit on site I would be tweeting that if I'm Connor right now because the moment it happens that leftist comment it's over it's over so you know what's heartbreaking about this is some of the greatest UFC moments ever was with Connor yep when he fought Mayweather non-UFC boxing the way he did what he did unbelievable when he fought Khabib the greatest I mean that was like a of course the match neither one of them ended the way when he fought Mayweather for the first time I think five out of the top five biggest pay-per-views when they used to do pay-per-views is all Connor I don't know if you know this yeah Jose Aldo this guy changed the game he made a few hundred million dollars in one of the interviews he's doing I don't know if you have it or not if you type in Connor Jesus they're asking and say does the game change you does the game change you and he says of course it does of course it does it this is this the interview yes this is it I just man play this clip if you can go from the beginning watch this go for

hope you find it go a little bit lower and there's a clip that the game changed you and his answer is such a beautiful answer of what he gives anyways Vinny any thoughts on that and I'll see you in the next one bye bye here uh well just I mean he did a post game too Pat where he goes the next day because the fight was Saturday he said he's going to church on Sunday I mean this is heartbreaking for me because I've I've followed Connor McGregor's career Pat when he was fighting in freaking Ireland and a girl that I used to know very very well in California I won't even say her name she when he started blowing up and started doing the UFC Unleashed and he got the fight with Jose Aldo and following up to the fight then he started blowing up she's like oh my god this is the guy yeah play this clip watch this clip fell into the trap and watched it do you feel like you fell into the trap that so many fighters do with fame and money obviously obviously you know 2017 double weight world champion Floyd Mayweather banked and then I launched an Irish whiskey I didn't drink heavily if at all and that's the time of my life I was an athlete at the top of my game hanging out as thousands upon thousands of bottles in my garage sell this Connor okay I'd leave my property and with two bottles under my arm and that was it I was caught God gave me these lessons that's it I was trapped and caught and it is what it is I trust in God I trust in my journey and I trust in the truth the world is against the truth then I am against the world that is where I stand let me tell you do you feel like telling you God will in the sky stays healthy he he's not done with his life whatever he does next it's going to be something big and it's not even going to be something he's ready for right now it could be political it could be back with his country but if we know the word that's a that's about to come and you're seeing it happen in UK in Europe and all these other places and it's going to come to U.S as well you're going to need some crazies like that to go to war you're going to need some crazies like that and he's going to play a very important role for this next phase we're about to go through which by the way I'm certain is coming the next couple decades I am certain that war is coming and people like him are going to Unite and realize who the enemy is and uh I think he's had some big fights but I don't think his biggest fight he's had yet I think he's going to have his biggest fight in his life God willing if he stays healthy and uh stays positive good you mean politically yeah politically I think politically they need I think he's gonna need it anyway let's get to the last story before we wrap up the last thing I want to show is the to anybody above 80 years old folks we're really concerned for you can you just pause it for for real quick before we get to it if you're above 80 look I mean chances are you're probably going to run into a uh a bison somewhere some are slim some would say would never happen but let's just say it does I want you to watch this a tourist was seriously injured because he was trying to take a video of this bison and then he ended up flying eight feet in air which by the way I want you to brace for impact from laughing this is not necessary to laugh but yeah it's mating season he's in testosterone mode they know what they're doing by the way that's a picnic table if there's Anybody that knows what not to do when you're in the mating season is an 80-year-old male. Yeah. Gentlemen, if you're watching this, you know when you're in the mood and somebody bothers you, what are we capable of doing? Some very bad things. So I want you to watch this. And again, brace for impact. Kids, you know, just parents at your own risk. Go ahead. Play the clip. 80-year-olds, man. You got to look out for them sometimes. Look, he's having fun. He's, like, he's chilling. This is where? This is in Yellowstone. Yellowstone National Park. There you go. And there's the victim in the back with his daughter or son. I can't tell, male or female? Nowadays, you can't tell. I can't tell. I can't. Is that a beard? Does he have a big beard? Yeah, big beard. Taking a photo. Santa Claus out there. But watch what's about to happen. Is that a buffalo? So, so far, everything looks pretty cool. Is that a dolphin's jersey? Yeah. Watch this. Just, like, let me take a video, honey. We're going to go back and show it to Mary. And look, Pat, he thinks, see, the bison sees the truck like he wants some beef. But then he's like, you know what? I'm going to go after grandpa. Watch. Imagine if your grandpa right now thinking, holy moly. Look at this. Dude. Dude. No, no, wait for it. So, he's so far. Oh, no. You can tell he played running back or something back in the days. Yeah, for sure. And by the way, what happened to the kid? Look, but the kid's gone. The kid's gone. Pat, the bison's fighting the tree. He's hiding behind a tree? Watch. Wait for it. Oh, my God. Wait for it. He's getting away so far. It's everything. It's about to happen. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The old man. Folks, don't do this if you're over 80. Why would you do this to yourself? I feel bad. Why are you walking around? Eight feet. It doesn't look like that. Eight feet. He flew in it, you know. Pat, can I make an observation? Yeah, yeah, for sure. How's he doing, by the way? No, it's always white people. You notice there's no minorities. You'll never see a black, a Middle Eastern, or a Puerto Rican anywhere around. They're like, why are you that close? No, no, Adam, there's a. Get the hell away. Tom, please defend white people now. I am going to, and I'm going to tell you something. Tom, this is always white people with a camera. Tom, step up. We need you, Tom. The white people need you. The white. Exactly. Always white. My father-in-law. Exactly. My father-in-law, Bob. Great guy, Bob. And my brother-in-law, Jason. Mountain man of Jason. Big guy. So, they live in Idaho. Yeah. And we go up there and visit a lot. You know, Christmas, holidays, certain birthdays. We're in there in the springtime, Pat. We say, hey, let's go up to Yellowstone and let the girls see all the stuff, all the geysers and everything up. But we also have some areas that were not like this with picnic benches, but you would not get out of your car. You would just drive slowly. Because there were ranch fences and certain obstacles. But we saw, personally saw, here we go, an Asian guy with a camera, like an old school big camera, get out of the car, hop the fence and walk like 10 paces into this kind of prairie, taking pictures of three or four bison that were very quiet and just grazing. And there is one of these big tan, you know, logos on the side of a truck, you know, National Park Service. This guy gets out and he says, get out. He's yelling into them, get out. The guy's just turning, looking at him, taking pictures. The guy starts blowing a whistle and he has a little orange air horn. He blows the air horn. And these guys come walking. And as they're walking toward us, all of a sudden, the bison decided to get up and start galloping. Now, we're in our car with the windows rolled up and I'm like, I'm watching this. And here it comes. But the guy gets over the fence and then you hear the park ranger and the bison's ran up to it. I don't know where the fence were, the fence where they turned around, went back to do whatever bisons do. But the ranger is like, are you crazy? And they were staring at him. I don't think they spoke English. Like, are you crazy? So this is the life of a park ranger where you go out in the other day, we went to yelling at people like we thought we were going to see a fatality at a zoo the other day. And I got the window down and I'm looking at these lines and giraffes and all this. I'm like, hey, pull your, pull your window up, pull your window. That's not something to joke around about. Anyways, we're at this. Palm Beach Zoo. I don't know if you've been to it. I haven't. It's pretty sick. You drive through. It's very, of course. Yeah, it's very, very cool. Lion Country Safari. You know who bought it? I think Larry Ellison just bought it. As crazy as it is. Can you type in, did Larry Ellison buy a Lion Country Safari in Palm Beach? Lion Country Safari. West Palm Beach. Did Larry Ellison buy Lion Country Safari? If I know this weird fact, I don't know for what reason. Buy a Lion Country Safari in Palm Beach. You got to be better than that, buddy. Safari. In Palm Beach. In Palm Beach. P-A-L-M Beach. Not B-I-T-C. West Palm Beach. Okay. All right. So let's see if this, yes. I was right. So he bought it. 254 acres. Larry Ellison did? Yeah, Larry Ellison did. All right. We got to stop these Jews from buying everything. Something's happening. If you're watching this, prices are going up today to the vault. If you haven't yet registered, go to vault2026. I'll spend four days together at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. And last but not least, today is a special woman's birthday. Oh, my God. That is Tom's wife's birthday today. Kim Ellsworth. Kim. Kim. We wanted to wish you a happy birthday. We took her out to a nice lunch place. The burger was incredibly overcooked. The steak was, if you ask for medium rare, you got burn is what you got. But we had great conversations. We had incredible foie gras pate and oysters and some good, you know, avocado. The dessert was the mousse. The chocolate mousse was too. You could die for. But the burger and the steak we went for was horrendous. I won't give a shout out because they have to recover. We're going to go back again. But, Kim, we just want to wish you a happy birthday. You're an amazing woman. You have such a great example. You set for everybody else. Every morning, we see you going for your 15, 20-mile bike and doing your exercise and reading your Bible in the morning. Great example as a mother, as a woman.
