Spencer Pratt SURGES + Iran CLOSES Hormuz | PBD #810

taste sweet.

Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright.

My handshake is better than anything I ever sign. It's right here.

You are a 101.

My son's right. I don't think I've ever said this before. So, it's it's rough when you come in Monday morning and you're talking to everybody about what stories to do and the only thing Tom wants to talk about for 30 minutes is Drake, 50 Cent, Diddy to talk about the video analysis on the video. Like, Tom, I don't think people care about the video. Let it go. Like, no, you have to understand it's a very important video.

30 minutes economy is tied to it. Oil prices went up a few percent because of that video. He's making the correlation. I'm like, Tom, this is not what the audience wants to hear.

He's like, he's like, top five dead or alive. He freestyle. We're not going to do that. We're not. We were worried about the birth rate in America.

No, because then then the next thing is like the the manhole.

Manhole in New York. I'm like, what does what does the Diddy and 50 Cent story have to do with the manhole?

But apparently there's a manhole that's circle, not not triangle, not a square, because you know triangle and square they fall through.

Yes.

Right. And and circle is the only thing. And so the manholes in New York, you know, apparently it's a big deal. People are going all the way down coming up. It's almost like the the movie that just came out that the 20-year-old director did it and apparently did 120 million back rooms where 630 million square miles of space in the back rooms that you guys, you and Tico went to watch it yesterday. Crazy.

But anyways, those are not the top stories, folks. It's just what Tom was interested in this morning. But we are going to talk about Spencer Pratt because tomorrow Rob, is it tomorrow or is it today?

Yeah, tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Tuesday.

Tuesday is Spencer Pratt. Looks like he's going to be a top two advancing LA. Very important for him to advance.

Then the concert, 250 year anniversary concert that Milli Vanilli was going to be performing at. Blame it on the Rain. I mean, can you imagine all of those songs?

It rain. What's the other one?

What's the other one that Blame It on the Rain is one of them.

Millie Vanilli.

Blame it on the Rain was the best song. What was the second one?

Girl, you know it's true.

Yeah, that's that's the one. Girl, I love you. I love you. One of the two.

Yeah. The fact that I know is embarrassing, but let me tell you, I love this song in Germany. It plays. Anyways, concert's getting cancelled. They're going to do something else for 250. Lots of uh things to talk about there.

Then a New York Times story comes out which Vinnie is very interested in this story where Bill Gates for years hired people to dress like Mr. Roger. Is this really a real? This is New York's a true story.

Yes.

He paid money to consultants to teach him how to dress like Mr. Roger.

They had mannequins to dress up to be like, "Yeah, I don't look like an evil crazy person through that outfit." That's a crazy story.

Well, that's a crazy story. Yeah. And then we got beautiful day in the machine hood.

Google wants to release a bunch of mosquitoes and it's kind of weird because it's going with the story of explosion of ticks and these ticks apparently have viruses that are making people allergic to red meat.

Yep.

Very weird stories that's going on there with the mosquitoes. So, not that the Google mosquitoes have to do with that, but people are making a correlation. Maybe we'll talk about that story as well. 780 people arrested in France after celebrating PSG winning. And then Dominic Tarjinski, you're showing the video about how they celebrate when they won in Poland. They're all going crazy celebrating. No rapes, no arrests, no nothing. Everybody went home and clean and they clean up after.

And if you see what France was looking like, it was absolutely insane.

Then for some of you guys that love heights, there was a group of people that were stuck on this roller coaster. I mean, this is going to give you a lot of weird feelings when you watch this. Literally, they're stuck at the top of the roller coaster at the top 105 ft up and these firefighters have to come and take them off and walk all the way down for the visual. Just the thought if you got vertigo, if you love heights, can you just imagine walking all the way down from this roller coaster ride? Somebody comes up and says, "We're going to help you get off." Yeah, right. You're going to help me get off.

But anyways, we'll show you the clips on this. Pretty wild. And then there's a couple other stories. One of them is New York uh wants to come out, this is Hokll that uh to put tracking devices in there. Rob, is that the one to put tracking device?

Yes, sir.

In there. If you have over 16 speeding tickets, they want to track you to see to make sure you don't do this more often. And then AI data centers, a co comes out.

Cerebra co comes out saying AI as an industry has done a terrible job of selling data centers. We ought to pay our own way. So, he's saying we ought to do a better job selling that. And then we got a couple other stories. Of course, we have to talk about what's going on with Iran as well with the reason, you know, there there's a rumor that Pzeskan, the president, resigned that was going viral. Now, they're saying we don't know if it's true or not. You know, it's opposition news that released that, but he needs the supreme leader to sign off. and they don't want to do that because Peshkan who is fairly and you know, a a fairminded guy that wants to negotiate IRGC has taken over Iran and there's nothing that we can do. Who knows? We may get some time to get into that story as well.

With that being said, before we get started, um, it was yesterday I was we had people over at the house and I'm walking around and Tom is asking me about the different shoes. So I wore the white, the brown and the black this weekend. Okay. All weekend I wore the white, the brown, and the black. The white was for Seno's birthday. The brown I would wore at the office on Friday and the black I wore yesterday. Right. Every single day except for now I think it's 12 days since September 9th of 2025. I have worn these future looks bright shoes. They're the most comfortable shoes I have with the on cloud uh uh the what do you call it? The supero technology on the bottom and then made in Tuskany, made in Italy. Rob, if you want to play this clip, folks, with Father's Day being around the corner, if you haven't yet picked up yourself a Future Looks Bright shoe for yourself, maybe pick it up for your father or somebody that you love. Go ahead and play the clip, Rob.

When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast. We had the choice to make it cheap. We chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscanto. We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands. We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail. And we chose the finest quality at every step. Introducing the future looks bright collection. Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary, rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.

There you go. Go to vtmerch.com, place your order. Again, go to vtmerch.com, place your order with the latest FLB shoes. Some sizes are not available. 14 is still not in, but go check to make sure the size is in because they sell out fairly quickly once they come in.

All right, with that being said, let's get right into it. Top story tomorrow, LA mayoral race. Is there any chance that Spencer Pratt will go on into the November election? Now, here's the thing. Everybody wanted top two. The liberals in California, the progressive wanted top two to be on the left. This is what's going on with the race right now. If you look at the numbers, Bass is still in the lead. This is I don't know which poll this is, Rob, because there's some later polls that's as of the 24th. There's some polls that have come out the last couple days cuz today's the June 1st, tomorrow's June 2nd. But if you go based on this, the latest poll, it's Bass, Ramen, the progressive socialist that wants to blame cars for people stealing parts from a car, which is very weird. But Pratt's making some momentum. Rob, if you want to play this clip.

Shows the race is now a tossup between incumbent Democrat Karen Bass, progressive upstart Nitia Ramen and Spencer Pratt. Fox News contributor Mary Katherine Ham is here. So Pratt was in the building yesterday and then he did Fox and Friends and he did the show.

Stop this one here because we'll do our commentary. But I So the numbers you see the numbers where it's at. Spencer Pratt rejects Trump's backing in LA mayoral race. And while Jimmy Kimmel criticizes Spencer Pratt's LA mayoral race, Rob, if you want to play this clip, this is the one about Trump. Go for it.

Do you want his endorsement?

I don't need anyone's endorsement but mothers. That's who's getting me elected. People keep forgetting it's Democratic moms that do not feel safe that are putting me in office in 5 days.

Can you explain to me something? Cuz you don't You're not afraid of anything. You're not afraid of giving your opinion on anything, but you won't give me an opinion on President Trump. And I get it that his endorsement, his blessing may may not be good for you. It likely isn't good for you in LA. But if you're fearless, but if you're fearless, what what do you think of President Trump? You're Republican, right?

Again, this is this right here, what you're doing is I'm just tell you, this conversation is what's destroyed local elections. People don't care in LA. They want to feel safe. They don't want to step in humid poop. I don't need to have personal opinions about anybody that doesn't affect them stepping in human poop. It's not being scared. I'm just not falling in for this tribal politics back and forth. It's local election. I'm not running for president. So, it doesn't matter my opinion on any president.

What do you think about his answer, Vinn?

I absolutely love it because because look at what the freaking fake horrible media is trying to do. They're trying to get you in that got you moment because apparently people in California want Karen Bass. They they they're Stockholm syndrome in full effect. I don't understand like what you think Spencer Pratt is doing this because he needs the money. No, he's personally been affected, Pat. And like I don't understand. I had this conversation with my cousin yesterday who lives in California. What Karen Bass is leading? Like what what has she done that makes somebody go, you know what, I'm going to go with her. If it's just identity politics, it's if it's just because she's a strong black woman, give me a freaking break. Okay. She was in Ghana during the freaking fires and knowingly apparently allegedly with that leaked audio that came out, okay, failed at homelessness, fa failed at taxes. She is a failed mayor and the fact that she is still leading. The only thing is identity politics or people just love abuse. You have fallen love with your abusers, California, and you don't want to change it. Period. That's why you vote for people like that and you keep voting for people like Gavin Newsome. You guys need change. Not Barack Obama change. Real actual change. And I honestly to Pat, I don't know him personally. I think this guy, what do you guys have to lose? You could only go up from here. I think Spencer Pratt is is their decision. Period. Go for it.

Tom,

I think there's a couple things that are showing up. First of all, I agree with that. Um, it's not just Stockholm syndrome. It's habitual. It's the old elections in America. And this was before you were born, um, Vinnie, before I was born. You would walk into a voting booth and pull a little curtain around and there was a you could just pull the lever and that was set up that you could pull the party lever just vote Democrat. And so that was put in there by the party machines. Chicago loved it because didn't matter. The voter was just voting on the party. Hey, trust me. All of our guys are good. Yeah. Um and and that's it's just terrible. And what you're saying is is correct. What's going on in the numbers, Pat? Um it doesn't look like Ramen Ramen has been fading. She's been fading on Khi. There's a Kelshi on this. This got her 13 points. And there's also the the Public Sentiment Institute which is just did their uh the public sentiment institute. I give it to you Rob in the in the text and they uh were out on X. They are the most recent poll. They were Friday afternoon and they've got Bass at 40, Pratt at 21, Ramen at 12 and you see Kelsey at 622613. But there's a lot I think there's a lot of Democrat money in on the Kowi side which I think Kowi's ultimately as we come to November it's going to come to the point of accuracy because these prediction markets usually do but right now there's been a lot of push but I think it's it's going to be Bass and and Pratt Bass is not going to get the 50.1 she needs. Remember if Karen Bass gets 50.1 tomorrow Pat this is over. We're done. There's no November election.

So meaning if Ramen gets out of it, it isn't over. It's it's done.

Yeah. Well, Ramen can't get out now because tomorrow's the election. June 2nd.

Yeah. So tomorrow if Bass got

Even today if she wanted to get out, she couldn't get out.

Well, if she she would have to go everywhere today screaming, "Don't vote for me. Vote for Karen Bass." And somehow she would have to get that message all the way around.

Too late for that. Okay. So

Then that means that means the campaign manager for Pratt is Ramen

Indirectly. Ramen campaigns for Spencer Pratt.

Yep.

And now the question is right here. Public sentiment institute is pointing out where did Miller and Huang go.

There's 15 points that are out there and there's 12 points that are undecided. This summer is going to come down to Bass and Pratt and Los Angeles deciding who they want. Well, let me tell you what Spencer Pratt's endorsements are and then Adam, I'll come to you.

You got Rogan Corolla, Dennis Quaid, Paris Hilton allegedly backed him on April 24th promoted Spencer for mayor. James Woods, Billy Bush, Megan McCain, you got uh Christine Cav Cavalari, you got Brody Jenner, you got Amber Rose. Uh but then there's a part of it that's Jamie Kennedy and then he said in an interview that Lonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Fox he claimed in an interview with US Weekly that actor DiCaprio and Jamie Fox privately expressed support for his campaign during that interview with US Weekly. So whether he's telling the truth or not and then Jimmy Kimmel came out and criticized and Rob I don't know if you have this clip with Keml. There's a clip of Keml criticizing Spencer Pratt. Go forward.

The city is a mess. That is something that became especially obvious during the fires. But the people running the city when you say this place is a mess, they go, "No, actually it isn't. We're doing a lot." And then we look around and go, "I'm not seeing it." And then they go, "Oh, it's there. Things are looking up." And this makes the people who live here upset. Especially people whose homes and neighborhoods burn down, who are trying to run businesses with people who need help sleeping in front of the door of their restaurants because they have nowhere else to go. They're frustrated because nothing seems to change. So then you get a guy who was on a reality show, who's on a lot of reality shows, his profession is to be the screaming jerk on reality shows, and his house burns down. And even though he had no private insurance on his house and doesn't believe in climate change, he is understandably upset about his house burning down. And since he's a moderately famous person, he gets attention. He's on the news. He's on social media. And for the first time in his life, people are agreeing with what he has to say with what he has to say. He's angry about the same problems a lot of people here are angry about. Does he have solutions to those problems? No. And yet he's polling in second place. And if he's one of the top two candidates after the primary next Tuesday, a week from tonight, he will be one of our two choices for mayor of Los Angeles.

You know what's funny about him?

Uh Corolla just got his uh uh what do you call a star, right?

And he gets up there and he gives a speech. He says even though we disagree politically, I am so happy for Adam Corolla because if you notice Corolla endorsed for uh Spencer Pratt. He did not. So it's an interesting speech he's given here. Just first 10 seconds will tell you. Rob, go ahead.

Adam and I, as you probably know, don't agree much when it comes to politics, but I love him dearly. I've never worked with anyone funnier. I I am proud of him.

You can possibly

You know what's crazy? like that. His headwriter on that show, it's supposed to become a comedy like is his wife. Whatever you're hearing, his headwriter is his wife. That's he's the type of guy that when the wife's talking, his head is just down.

Wait, what he just did?

His wife is 100% writing his stuff. That she's the headwriter of this show. And notice the audience is just like there's no emotion. There's no nothing. Who? It feels like he's just under a spell. Pat, I'd rather be stuck on that freaking roller coaster upside down than listen to that.

No, you No, I'll give you that. And you know me, I have vertigo.

I'll give you that. But that looked kind of authentic.

No, no, not talking about his friend Snow. I'm talking about his model.

I get it. I said I'll give you that. I'll give you that on his show and all the the what I the trash that comes out of his mouth on his show.

Oh, that's what that's authentic cuz that's his French. She's not writing that. She's not the headwriter of his life.

Well, if if Jimmy Kimmel wanted to get ratings, you know what he should do?

What? Have Spencer Pratt on the show, buddy. Spencer Pratt's making his rounds. He was just on Bill M. on Gutfeld. I know you guys have been discussing things. Uh Trump kind kind of weighed in on the election and what did Spencer Pratt say? I'm good. I don't need an endorsement.

Good.

Now, why would you say something like that? Because if this were a more of a national election, of course, you want Trump's endorsement, but this is a local election. But this election has taken shape of a is a a different monster because we're talking about this guy as the lead story on the show. So, I think in essence, anyone that's solving for common sense and wants some change in LA would want Pratt. Here's my opinion. I think there's going to be a runoff between Bass and Pratt. And I think Pratt is going to win. That's my opinion.

What would What's it going to look like if Karen Bass gets into a runoff with the ramen noodle lady? So, you're just going to have a socialist progressive basically debating a Marxist communist. Let me know how that's going to work out for you guys. LA, that's something we're looking for because Karen Bass basically is basically doing the whole nothing to see here, everything's fine. Let's just keep it going. Keep the good times rolling. Ramen is basically like, I'm a communist. Let's burn it all down and start over. Whereas Pratt is basically anti-establishment, which would be common sense in LA at this point, and just says we just need some new level-headed common sense experience. And then here's the final point. Do you know who's voting for Pratt if he wins? If Pratt wins, you know who's going to vote for him? All the Democrats, women Democrats, mother Democrats. He says he doesn't even know a Republican in LA. He said that his words. He said his sister is the most progressive Democrat he knows and she's voting for him obviously. So all his friends, all Hollywood, all the Hollywood elite reality stars, Democrats who are basically saying, "Let's vote for Pratt." And I hope they do.

Here's the part, guys. If you're from LA and you want things to change, you want to contribute towards the change, get out there and vote. And not only that, get your friends to go out there and vote as well. Get your family, get everybody to go out there and vote. This is where you can actually make an impact locally. Locally, if you want to see change, go support and contribute to what Spencer Pratt is doing in LA. It would be an incredible, incredible story going into 2028. You know what would happen after 2026 if Pratt wins LA mayoral race? You know what would happen? The cover of Time magazine will have Mayor of LA Pratt, going against Mayor of New York City, Bondani.

Oh yeah.

It'll be it'll be an incredible spectacle of what can who can clean up the streets better? Who can make which street better? Trust me, as a case study, we all want to we we all want to see this thing here. Mhm. Two hardcore liberal cities that one side goes the Mandani side, the other side goes the Spencer Pratt side. It'd be a great case study for everybody to watch nationwide.

With that being said, let me get into the next story. The next story is kind of weird. It's a story about Pzeskian who is the president of Iran comes out and says, "I'm resigning." And so, we saw this all over the place that he is resigning. Iran's president offers resignation citing total takeover by IRGC commanders, which is kind of weird. So then when you're reading this story, Rob, I think you may have a clip on this. When you're reading this story, you see some people coming out saying, "No, no, no, it's not true. He never send it." And I think even he sends out a tweet, Rob, if I'm not mistaken, is this him?

This a video clip that uh the Iranian state media is saying is the denial that he's resigning.

Go ahead. We are ready for any hardship. We are ready to sacrifice our lives, our existence for this revolution and the people of our country.

This is him.

But in any case, this is something we must all help each other with and walk this path together. We must prepare ourselves for this and our dear people must also be aware of this matter and help out and this is what I expect from the national broadcaster as well.

So this came out last night and this is what the Iranian state media is claiming is his denial. I listened to the clip. He doesn't say it anywhere in here.

I didn't see the denial.

But this is what they're stating. They're saying that this is his denial. No, I'm not going to put this as a denial. I'll read this to you. You know, this this article here from the Iran International says that he submitted his letter of resignation. In the letter sent on Sunday, Peskan stressed the fact that the president and the government have effectively been excluded from major and vital decision-making process in the country and that the vacuum created by the situation has enabled hardline factions within the IRGC to take control of affairs. Pzeskian added that under such circumstance he is unable to run the government and carry out his legal responsibilities and he requested to be out immediately. It is not yet clear whether Kame will accept the resignation but the contents of the letter point to the a deep and unprecedented rift at the highest levels of power. So if this is true if the I have I have some thoughts on this myself on how this can end up. Tom, if this is true, what does this really mean? if it is true.

Well, when we all saw the headline, I immediately I had no reaction. I was like, well, of course, the hardliners and IRGC are really calling the shots. And you know, Trump and the world had been saying it's hard to negotiate because the government was split. We had heard all that, right, Pat? I mean, that's what we heard everything. So, when I first heard this, it seemed like, wow. So as a legitimate government off to the side finally just thrown in the towel and said I resign. So it seemed normal, not normal, but it seemed like oh okay, very believable. However, if this is true and this is what's going on and the IRGC and the hardliners are really in charge, then I think this is kind of worse than where it started because for the people that have been protesting, um, this is bad because it means if IRGC is in the point of ultimate power Pat, I think this is really bad for them. The markets aren't liking what came in this morning. Uh, oil popped But I think this is a reaction to Lebanon, Israel. I don't think that's the reaction to Pzeshian. I think that's the which we'll get into that here momentarily as well. I think the main reaction to this what the market is saying is due to the attacks that are taking place between Lebanon and Israel.

No. Well, I think it's I think it's both the because I think Lebanon Israel is the second front that Israel is fighting, right? Israel and is is with us and we are fighting here, but it's a second front. I I see it as the same conflict.

Yeah. So So then the question, Adam, your thoughts on this?

Yeah. Uh I'm gonna reverse course here. I don't want to deal a deal with Iran. They're never going to honor any deal. What did you hear what the gay Ayatollah, whatever you want to call this guy that haven't seen it, did you hear what he had to say over the weekend?

No. What did he say?

Doubling down on everything they've always done. Death to America, death to Israel. This is quote unquote. This will be the common slogan of the Islamic nation and the revolution. They're still doing the revolution and the oppressed people of all over the world, especially youth. The future belongs to the Islamic nation, the IRGC, and the new Islamic civilization. And each of us can play a role in realizing this future together. Does this sound like somebody who wants to cut a deal? And if possession, the president, we all know the president doesn't really have any power. The Ayatollah, the supreme leader has power. As much as much as I think it's going to get ugly, we're we've already done what we needed to do with epic fury, economic fury, Trump has been very clear that he doesn't necessarily care about midterms, so to speak. I think they may even get into another hot war over this. And we've already done the hard part. Whether it's economically, whether it's militarily, we need to finish the job with these people.

I mean, but what's finishing the job?

Let me let me put it to you this way. So here here here here's here's what I want to think about.

Let's go be in the room the situation room of IRGC. Let's be in that room.

Okay.

Okay. If you're in the situation room of IRGC, what are you saying? K's in there. Peshana is not in there. It's only people that are pro IRGC people that are in that room. Okay. What are you telling each other? What are you telling each other? Number one, it starts with Allah.

Allah wants this. This is what Allah commands. We will do what Allah says. When Allah is the answer,

I understand you. What do you do? This is if I'm if I'm them right now, you know what I'm saying? First of all, we're winning technically because they can't they're not going to come in and bomb us and kill all the civilians because they're going to look really really bad. We just have to hold the line.

Which means what?

Meaning what? What? They It seems to me like they're holding the cards cuz how what can the United States do Pat to harm them right now?

You're in the room. What do you think is being sent out? Well, based on what I see from the outside, um I would assume and just kind of doing game theory on here, they're sitting there with each other saying we just need to wait it out and get a deal and get the deal that's a ceasefire and get the deal on Hormuz and then, you know, get them to agree to negotiate the uranium and everything going forward. They're saying no. Every day that we make them wait, we're closer to just getting the war over and we'll negotiate all of that later. That's what we want. Every day we wait. I fully agree with Tom on this. Tom is right. Um if what does winning look like? They just have to survive. If they cut any deal, the deal is almost irrelevant because you think they're going to honor the deal. The whole tea thing and just lying for the sake of winning.

It's not. So there is no So there's no deal. any deal with strong points is

So the nuclear the the enriched uranium the the missiles the proxies um to me you would probably know this better than anybody chaos is their strategy delaying is their strategy when you don't care about your own people how do you end up cutting a deal that benefits your own people

what do you think I'm I'm curious Pat what what do you think I a I want to know what their attitude is and number two what are they what do you think that they're saying in that room right now

okay so first you you have to like when you're running a company and you're you're going through a bad season financially, the first thing you have to sit there and talk about is finances. How much longer can we afford to go with XYZ? Okay.

Okay. And finance person will say, "We only have $6.8 million in the bank." Really? Yeah. How long can that last? Three months. Real. Okay. [ __ ] So, we got three months. Yes. So the finance person is going to say

our revenue is depleted, our oil revenue is depleted, we are down to nothing. How long can we last? Everybody in that room knows a number on how long that can last. So number one is what is the lifespan of their money. If America has intel or MSAN has intel to find out that number, we we control the whole thing. So so so assume if we know exactly what that number is, we control the whole thing. Number two is say they do and the people that are going to take a hit is going to be who? Their people. They don't care about that. They're fine with that. Their people taking a hit. They don't have a problem with that. If if in this instance Russia helps out, maybe China doesn't help out, but Russia helps out, but Russia's also depleted. They're not they're also not killing it. It's not like they're having a great time right now with what's going on. Ukraine's making their life a living kill in that situation. You know, Ukraine is Iran. Okay. So Ukraine relates more to Iran and Russia relates more to absolutely you know US right. So

but in a way Russia could be the little guy because NATO US everybody is helping out who Ukraine. So I think if you bring in the Israel thing if you really want to go the you know Israel has control and they want this thing to continue and they want to create chaos you know what they could do to create a lot of chaos. You know what could be the craziest thing Israel could do to create some chaos? How many people did they kill of the leaders? What were the number of people that killed on day one or day two? Whatever it was

50 leaders, right? But every day was like somebody new.

Yeah.

If they take out Pzeshan, give you can give credibility to the people to say Israel wants this thing to not end. He want they wanted to continue. Why?

Because the moderate is willing to negotiate.

Yes.

And IRGC is not willing to negotiate. So if all of a sudden the next week you hear a story Pestan's been killed, you there's credence to say I get what they're doing. Yes.

I don't know if you understand what I just said right there Tom. Are you kind of tracking it?

I would not be surprised if the moderates get killed to force the president to have to say are we really going to negotiate with terrorist IRGC or no? That that is one place of totally being cornered because while this is going on Rob, do you have the story with Israel and you know what happened over the weekend with US says it struck Iranian drone and a radar site as Iran claims attack on air base. I don't know if you have that one or not. It says you have a clip on that. Sir, there's a few things that happened. There's a few things that happened over the weekend with that being one of them and the other one being the whole Lebanon. Uh where's a Lebanon story, Rob, that we have? Uh let me see this.

I don't believe that's in the press.

Okay, this is this is this is the drone shooting down. Go ahead, Rob.

New tensions in the Middle East. US Central Command announcing it conducted self-defense strikes inside Iran over the weekend, targeting radar and drone sites. Sentcom says the US strikes were in response to what it called aggressive Iranian actions, which included the shooting down of a US drone over international waters. Iran claims it responded by targeting the air base where the US attack originated. Missile activity was being monitored in Kuwait. All this coming after President Trump suggested a peace deal with Iran was in reach.

We're close to a very good deal. Says we will not develop or in any way purchase a military weapon. That's a big difference. The president insist you can pause it right there. So over the weekend, Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon. Israel responded with expanded military operations. BB ordered and renewed strikes on Hezbollah targets which they they captured the castle. Rob, do you have the video of the castle with the Israeli flag at the top? Just go on YouTube, type in the the castle uh is Israel flag castle. Did you guys see this? So they say they captured the castle and they put up the Israel flag at the top of the castle in Lebanon. And this is an 889 year old castle. What's the name of it? Bow something. I want to say the castle's name correctly if you want to pull it up.

No, it's called something else. Buford. Yeah, Buford Castle. 889 years old. So Israel puts the flag up. That's a statement. Okay. On what you just did, Rob, if you want to go to the Buford Castle, it's got rich history to it. It's on top of a rock, on top of a mountain. Uh uh yeah, go to it. Yeah, Buford Castle. So they took it over. Obviously, it's not the kind of castle where you're going to go have for grant steak and you know, it's it's a different kind of a castle, meaning it's just got rich history to it, right?

So they had their back and forth. Israel captured a major

Israel captured a major strategic position, which is the Buford Castle. Ceasefire talks appear to be faltering between the two. So think of everyone's motives. IRGC's motives versus Peshkan's mo motives versus Israel's motive versus US's motives versus the world's motives. If you want to go one by one by one, let's do it. Number one, IRGC's motives. They could give a [ __ ].

Their loyalty is to their Allah and their loyalty is to what they believe in and the supreme leader. They could care less about your pain. They could care less about the world economy. They could care less about straight of horm. could care less about any of that stuff. Pzeskam, what's his motive? He wants diplomacy. He wants to see a deal being done. He is a moderate. He would like something to happen. Which, by the way, believe it or not, that guy's got a target on his back by two different people. You know who?

His own side.

IRGC and Israel.

Yeah.

Cuz if Israel notices Trump's going to extend this, they have to get rid of Peshkan. So Pzkian has to be gone one way or another. If Israel's motive, if BB's legacy goes that Iran got stronger with IRGC, that's not a good look for his legacy at all.

US is about what where is Trump at right now? We need the economy back down. We need gas prices back down to be in the high 60s, high 70s to be, you know, high7s to be fine where we are. Economy needs to be opened up on the world is like we got to get this [ __ ] to be done because we don't we want it to be done. But the Gulf States don't want IRGC. It's such it's such a complicated mess right now.

But if you can find out how much money they have and what their run rate is and what their pain is, if MSAD or the CIA can get into their situation room, which is probably going to be in some kind of a bunker and hear what their biggest pain is, now you have a situation there. So for me, you know, I I think there could be a lot of moving parts, a lot of different things happening, but that's what I think is going on right now uh with Iran, you know, Israel and US. That's where my thoughts are.

Okay, let's go to the next story. Next story I want to get into is uh um let's go into the story with Let me see which one I want to do here. Let's go into the story with the concert. Did you guys hear about this concert situation? So, we have the 250 year cap. I don't want to stay on this story for too long. I literally want to do less than four minutes, but I want to give you an update on it. So, the concert's lineup originally when they announced it, Rob, do you have the lineup originally of who was supposed to perform? Vanilla Ice. It was supposed to be Milli Vanilli. No joke. Like, blame it on the rain, you know? Uh uh it was supposed to be him right there. Yeah. Right there. Zoom in a little bit. So, Milli Vanilli and then that's um Brett Michaels, which I believe Brett Michaels pulled out because of what he was talking about, the concerns, the risk that he has,

the fear, family.

The lead singer of Poison back in the day.

Yeah. Click on that one, Rob, that says who canled. Yeah, Miller Vanelli, Vanilla Ice, Martino McBride, Young MC, CC Music Factory, uh, The Commodores, Go a little bit higher. There's a few other names above it, Rob, that uh, yeah, that's the one right there. Anyways, so all of a sudden, while this is supposed to be taking place, Flow Rider, Brett Michaels, you have all these names. They come out and they say, "Well, the president's going to give a 90-minute speech." And then allegedly yesterday, they cancelled the whole thing and they said, "No, we're not going to do a concert. It's just going to be a Trump rally event and they canled all this stuff. Is this it, Rob, that he's talking about?

This is Doug Bergam yesterday. Yes.

Okay, go for it.

The American the Great American State Fair running 15 days here on the mall uh starting uh in late June and going through July 10th uh is a celebration of all 50 states and all territories. There was a a plan there is a planned event for the opening of that. And of course uh I I with a smile on my face I can't say I can't wade into the politics of musicians because uh you know some musicians want to play music for everybody and and then and some musicians uh seem to have segmented their audiences uh the same way uh you know politicians have but this freedom 250 and the celebration of the 250 is a nonpartisan event. Uh, and I would encourage uh, you know, everybody in America to get out, celebrate in your own way, celebrate in your own community. If you're here, you know, over those 15 days, he saying it got cancelled or no,

he was just saying uh, it's a representation of all 50 states. So, no matter where you're at politically, you should be able to celebrate.

Yeah. But it got cancelled. Okay. I if I'm not mistaken, it got cancelled. The storyline talks about it getting cancelled. What page is it on? Page 12 and 13. Yeah. Brett Michaels pulled out. What Adam? What did Brett Michaels say is the reason why he's stepping out of it?

What did Brett Michaels say?

Yeah, you you said earlier why they're stepping out of it. One of

Well, Trump said

Brett Michaels was having apparently he talked about I'm having threats outside of this. I'm not worried about the security there. He was saying, "I'm worried about my safety out here and my family and I got all these people that are around me calling me, putting pressure on this. Look, this is getting a little too hot." And I'm paraphrasing what he said. I I got to back out. So, he was not negative on Trump. He was just like, "This is getting really hot and and this, you know, I got threats against my family here. What am I supposed to do?"

Well, Trump said that people are getting the yips. You know what the yips are? You ever heard of the yips?

Tell us.

You know, like in baseball when you can't throw the ball to to first base when you get the ball like the second Chuck Knoblock, I think you had that problem.

Yep.

Like a golfer can't make a putt. They're basically saying that these singers are getting the yips and it's basically like you're it's a sudden loss of the ability to do performance you've done a thousand times. But Tom, I need your help on this one. Your greatest rapper, your number one rapper of all time is cancelling. You know who I'm talking about, right?

Young MC.

Young MC. This is your number one rapper of all time. This is the one rap you always do. Tom, if you would just give us a little second, maybe a little prayer, maybe even a little rap.

No, no, no, no. That's

just Tom, this is your thing.

Okay, so he got cancelled. What else? But seriously, like what else happened here?

It just Well, first of all, Pat, like just our lineup wise, I'm not that impressed. like Kid Rock. It's like how many I'm not saying Kid Rock is on this one, but just the the the like Millie Vanil they're the they're the

You know who they should have had? You know who they should have had? They should have gone spent some of the money. Bring Morgan Wallen.

Yes.

Bring some of the guys that would perform. Bring Ludacris. Bring Mix it out. Bring everybody. We were going to do something here. And the only reason we didn't end up doing something here is because of my uh uh you know uh uh torn ACL that we have. We're going to do something here. We talked to the city about doing a future looks bright concert here. We were talking to um uh who is uh Anyways, we were talking about a couple major country singers. We were talking about potentially having like a ludicrous year because you want to mix it. Bring the hip-hop audience. If it's about America, bring everybody. Mix. So, so I thought this was a miss. And now the president's going to be speaking. I don't know who managed this event. I don't know who was behind it. I don't know who was the project manager. They have so many different things that's going on. So, I don't know who was doing this. This is actually not a good look. I I think it was a bit of a cluster cluster.

Don't think it was organized well, and the last thing you need going into 250 is for stuff like this to happen. Like this needed to be organized. You know what this means? Let me tell you what this means. This is a byproduct. So imagine you're going through your day and you're talking to Iran, you're talking to Russia, you're talking to this, you're talking to BB, you're talking to Israel, you're talk, hey, uh, Mr. President, 250. Yeah. Yeah. You guys, you're talking >> Yes. I that that's a >> that's not even like a top 10 issue for him, top 20 issue for him and you're doing the UFC and you're doing the 250 and you have the World Cup security and so I just think they were bogged down with so many different projects that was going down that this project took a hit. That that's what I think happened here.

>> And it doesn't help and it doesn't help that when when that poll came out I think two weeks ago that you know political violence is justified way more percentage-wise in the left uh than conservatives. And you know what it is when they're when you're calling a guy Hitler all the freaking time. When you're saying like people are threatening. The guy's worried about his family. It's not about the singing. It's about the backlash he's going to get from people from fans.

>> Those are two different things though.

>> Those are two different things, Vinnie. Because I think if you are, you know, if you are doing a 250, you know what's the next one that's going to matter the most after 250?

>> 500.

>> Yeah.

>> Not Not 300, not 350, not 400, not 4. It's 500.

>> Yeah. We're all going to be dead.

>> Yeah. We're not going to be here, right? If you're here, tell me about what you're taking cuz I want to know about it. Right.

>> Yeah.

>> So, so the point is this, this was a this was a hit that they took. And >> the left, let's let's give the left credit for one thing. The one thing they do better than the right >> is arts and entertainment.

>> They have the singers, they have the musicians. That's what they do. They have Hollywood. They have that.

>> So, it would have been great if some people in Hollywood say, "Listen, for the 250th birthday for my country, this isn't Trump's country. It's not Obama's country. It's my country and I want to be a part of it." That would be taking the high road. But everyone here in our political polarized world right now, Beyonce's not showing up. Megan Stallion's notion is not going to show up.

>> You know what I'm saying is these people would would never do this under a Trump administration.

>> If the president was a leftist president, this would have been the most ridiculous of all time.

>> Exactly.

>> Because they're freer. Yeah. Not not freer because they're liberals. They would have supported them and everybody else is afraid. You're saying they won't get cancelled by going and performing?

>> I don't even know if I put that there because I do think if you cut a check, these people show up. They don't give a [ __ ] They're like, you pay him money. Beyonce went and performed in I don't know what it was, Qatar or Saudi for 15 million bucks. If there's a check, they'll show up. I think they could have put a budget behind it and people would have shown up to perform the concert.

>> She's more likely to to go get check from Saudi Trump.

>> Next story I want to get to is what happened with France. Okay, so France PSG wins the whole thing and everybody in, you know, France is like, "This is this is going to get bad. We got to be careful with this whole thing that's going on." Well, guess what? It was even worse than what they expected. 780 arrests in France after PSG Champions League uh win, which was massive. And people were worried for their lives. They were concerned about what was going to happen. And some of the messaging, if you watch this, Rob, just play a few of the clips. Go ahead, Rob. By the way, what's that clip with the fire you just had right there, Rob? Okay,

>> dude. Look at

>> that is not the Middle East, Rob. Where is this?

>> That's That's Paris.

>> That's Paris for you.

>> Yeah,

>> that's not Iran. That's not Gaza.

>> Look at what the hell is going on.

>> Okay, after the win,

>> they won, by the way.

>> Look what they're doing to cars. Imagine if they would have lost. So, this is celebrating victories.

>> This is France for you folks. And who do you think is doing this? You think the OG French people that were, you know, from France, they're French men and women. You think they're doing this?

>> Pierre and Jean,

>> that's not who's doing it. By the way, go to some of the videos to say we were able to do more in three hours than they could do.

>> Yeah. Where's that

>> could take over uh uh you know uh Germany could do over in 1940s. I don't know if you have a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Keep going. Right there. Right there.

>> This is African migrants. African migrants saying like look at what he's saying. Look, look. Algerian, go back a little bit. Ra, look at this. We have Algerians, Tunisians, Moroccans, Seneagalles. Look, Marine, Marine, we have managed to take over Paris even faster than Germany army in 1940. It took us three hours. Three hours.

>> They're letting you know what's up.

>> Yeah. And so if you go to the clip, Rob with the Eiffel Tower behind being behind it. I don't know if you have that one or not. Watch this.

>> Okay. What is burning? What? Why? Yeah, Jean Pierre looks like he's >> looks like the French Revolution.

>> What did Macron say about this? Rob Macron was not happy at all. Rob, if you find that clip, he was almost like he's like, "Never again. We are done." He was And by the way, the whole PSG team is behind him, Rob, and he's schooling the the the fans and he's saying how disgusting and how horrible of an act it was that what he was doing. Keep going down, Robbie. He's doing the speech. I think that's it right there. They don't have the subtitles on this one. Uh, keep going down. Where is it? Is that it?

>> No, that's not it.

>> That's English.

>> He's bashing the fans, though. He's b He was bashing the fans.

>> Matt Chrome was bashing the fans.

>> He went He said, "Never again. This is not going to happen again." He was pissed. But he did it with a French accent, so it was kind of cool. I'll find it. I'll send it to Rob. And then Rob, if you can go pull up uh uh Dominic Tarjinski talk. Oh, by the way, these are two girls in the car. Look at these guys. How much are panicking? Can you imagine like what are you doing to my daughter called me and says dad this is like put your foot on the gas pedal and drive through everybody they're doing that to you

>> if they're risking your lives. And then this is Tom Dominic Tar Juni saying this is how the Polish celebrate when they win. Watch this. Uh God Rob

>> Rob if you want to play this. That's pretty sick to see that. Okay, Vinnie, what do you what do you think?

>> And I'll just tell you, Pat Mcronone said, "It's not football. It's not sport. This is not what we like. We don't want to see this anymore. We are fed up. We are done." And that's and because I don't think this one has the subtitles, but I just like what do you expect Pat when you let a bunch of people from countries that don't give a damn about the country that they're in. This is what's going to happen. And I'm by the way I hope I hope America has their stuff together security-wise for the World Cup because this is by the way PSG is a club team. Imagine what happens when it's national teams, national pride, political tensions, alcohol and millions of peoples in our streets. I hope that they're that they're prepping for this. I really, really hope so. And by the way, New York as well with the Knicks. New York, this is just a pre precursor of what's gonna happen. Okay? And by the way, I'm not I'm not being farfetched. We let how many million people in here for the past four years? 20 million, 5 million freaking uh gotaways that nobody knows. Not not ID, not vetted, not nothing. They're going to be here. I'm just saying it's a warning for what could happen here. But what you guys won, I don't understand. And mind you, didn't they Pat? They had it somewhere else in Brussels. I think Alberto said he didn't want to have it in France because of this. Because of this is why he had it somewhere else. They had the finals there and look what they still do. But you know, you import the third world, this is what you get. Plain and simple.

>> Tom, >> well, words talk, number scream. And who's and but words are talking and there's some numbers behind it from the United States State Department. Rob, I just sent you a link. If you could bring that up, I just texted it to you right there. Interesting. You would think that UK and France, allies of us for a long time, would be the safest and the State Department would be giving you information. But no, France, the UK, and Germany, and Spain are all level two, exercise increased caution. Pat, do you know what Poland is?

>> Level one, exercise normal precautions when travel. Take a look at Eastern and Western Europe. Now, this ignores Ukraine. the blue areas where the State Department says Americans can travel there and uh we're not seeing issues. But take a look at Western Europe where you've imported all these people and you've brought all this stuff in. They're saying there's extra caution required. And by the way, take a look at level two with a asterisk. That's Turkey, you know. So, you've got all of this stuff going on. And yet Poland, Dominic Tarzinski, Greece, and the Eastern Europe would have been tougher. Then you look at Western Europe and Paris, what you just saw there. When would we have thought in our lifetimes that we would see the UK and France and who we fought with in World War II be represented by our own government as saying, you know, guys, that's a higher security risk going there than going to Poland and maybe seeing and paying your respects at, you know, um, you know, Holocaust sites, going there and laying flowers and remembering the the things that happened there. You're safer going to Poland and what you saw there maybe having a beer toasting them and jumping up and down in the city square. Oh my gosh, they're so happy for their team than you are in Western Europe.

>> Adam, >> this looks to me like the French equivalent of the BLM riots in 2020. And you know who's to blame? Mcronone. Mcronone has the audacity to be like, I can't believe this is what's going on. Uh sir, how did these guys end up here? How did these people end up in your country? And you know, you know, I've been studying for some reason the French Revolution recently because the great Victor David Hansen has been calling the modern left in America the Jacabin party. Have you heard any of this? The Jacabins when the when the uh French Revolution happened shortly after the American Revolution. The Jacabin party started off as normal like normal Democrats. Hey guys, we need to do good things. But then the extremists took over. Then the radicals took over and what did they call it in France during the French Revolution? They called it the reign of terror. You ever hear the guillotine?

>> Yes.

>> Where they're chopping people's heads off. Maximian Rob chopping people's heads off and all a sudden people are like, "Yeah, you were about life and liberty. Now you're chopping people's heads off that don't agree with you. Open borders which basically led to an extremist revolution. The jackabids taking over which end up leading to Napoleon and then everything happened with Waterlue. But the point is this. When you let the extremists and the radicals take over your country like Mcronone has done, this Islamic Marxist uh group that they're putting together, this is what's going to happen. So on a day that you win a championship, by the way, you beat Arsenal. Arsenal hasn't won in decades now. It seems it's sort of those things that the best that that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. All these good people that want to do good things but don't want to do the tough job of actually cleaning up their city or their country. This is what you get. Riots.

>> By the way, when you when you look at numbers, actual numbers of what happened outside of the 780 arrests that took place yesterday, one died, one is confirmed fatality. Cities affected, 15. Do you know how many cops were deployed nationwide for this whole spectacle? 22,000 cops were deployed nationwide. 22,000 cops

>> with no guns, huh?

>> 27 cops uh injured. Uh, serious injuries, eight injured civilians, 219 people formally taken into custody, 457 arrest alone in Paris out of the 780 is 480. So, the main city was Paris. A 24 year old man died in a motorcycle scooter crash during the chaos. 17-year-old was reportedly left in critical condition after a stabbing.

>> Now, who would be stabbing? And Macron condemned the violence and said these responsibilities said those responsible would face consequences. really, you know, a part of it is making sure your people feel safe

>> and obviously the people didn't feel safe and there was a lot of madness going on.

>> The stabbing guy survived.

>> Well, the stabbing guy survived, but he

>> Good thing the British police weren't there.

>> And yeah,

>> by the way,

>> imagine if they lost. This is what happens when they win.

>> Forget it.

>> Could you imagine that? And here's the saddest thing.

>> They weren't caught off guard on this p. This didn't happen out of the blue. They were they were preparing for this. They were boarding up windows. They were basically preparing just like BLM riots. That's why it said it's the French equivalent.

>> So, Bill Gates plotted to look like Mr. Rogers using customized mannequin to test boring potential outfits. And this is a New York Post story.

>> A New York. It was a New York Times magazine.

>> New York Times magazine. Is it a New York Times magazine that New York Post reported on? Let me get to this here. So, billionaire Bill Gates devoted a great deal of time and money to try to make himself look kind of a approachable as TV Mr. Rogers with his team even using a customsized mannequin to test out boring potential outfits. Gates team told away on crafting the nerdy image he's known for today to make the 7-year-old tech mogul appear as bene benevolent man focused on helping the world current and former employees told the Wall Street Journal. To that end, his stylist tested outfits for different days of the week on the custom mannequin with the team having access to troves of neutral tone crew and V-neck sweaters uh uh button-down shirts, slacks, and extra pairs of the silver lining uh optitians, carbon glasses at an offsite building. The Journal said the outfit was specifically picked for Gates to wear during public events with his employees reportedly sending the billionaire staff three options to choose from. carefully selected wardrobe, calm and approachable like Fred Rogers. So what Vinnie, what is the big deal of the story? Tell me the big deal of the story.

>> I'm thinking about imagine you have a team, okay, approving outfits and even they did a Netflix documentary. They asked producers to edit out moments because he didn't look good in them, Pat. And then you have internal emails that are selling how successful the campaign is. Because remember, I used to make fun besides his voice because I'm I'm a comedian. I make fun of his voice. that whole light sweater vest with, you know, the collar underneath. It's it's like diffusing. You seem like you're a really nice guy. And they have a mannequin that's dressing up. But and then now you're thinking about it. All the stuff that we find out about Epste. All the stuff about the stuff with his wife. All the stuff that his wife was like, "Oh my god, his relationship with Epste is why I I you know, one of the main reasons why I left him." Like, it's insane to me. You're lecturing the world about vaccines, about COVID, about climate change, about food systems and AI and how humanity should live, and then also complaining that there's too many of us, meaning there's too many human beings. A lot of us should die. And then you're promoting the stuff that actually kills people. It I it it's insane. But then they dress you up like Mr. Rogers to emotionally calm, like make you look like you're calm. At least when it comes to like Dr. Evil, at least Dr. Evil, we knew what we were dealing with. Okay. Okay. And that's why he, look at that, Pat. That's how he should be dressing. That's exactly how, in my opinion, Bill Gates needs to dress so we know where you're coming from. The fact that they had to dress him up to diffuse what he was actually doing is not only it's it's funny, but it's scary at the same time. Pat, that's your image. Your image is what? Make me look cool. Make me look like a nice cool guy when I'm trying to destroy humanity.

>> I'm trying to find out. Again, this is what I'm trying to find out because I want to know what's wrong with that. Like Tom has changed his image. Can you Can you focus on Tom real quick?

>> Can you put the camera on Tom? Like how great does Tom look? Be honest.

>> To be honest with you, that tie to that tie says a lot.

>> The the the suit drinks coffee,

>> right? So, but look look how Tom looks. He if you go back look at some of the stuff from three years ago versus today or 10 years ago versus today.

>> Tom looking money. Stefano Richie got a hold of him and changed his image up. If you go to Bezos, what does Bezos look like? If you go today's Bezos, do Bezos before and after.

>> Oh yeah.

>> Okay. If you go to Bezos top left, look at that.

>> Yeah.

>> Okay.

>> That's I mean that's So look >> look at Elon before and after.

>> It's not much of a difference. But

>> before he got his little hair transplant.

>> So this is Bezos before. Look what he looks like. Everything he's wearing on the left looks like Brooks Brothers.

>> Yes.

>> Okay. And now look at the Do you Do you think he got help from somebody? Let's go to another one. Rob, if you look at those biceps, those biceps look pretty good. No, just stay on this. Just go to a different image. That one right there. Second one if you can. Boom.

>> Yeah. Look at this one. All right. That one. He's got a jacket on. The guy on the right looks like a stud. Okay. Go to the third one, Rob, that you have. Look at the jacked biceps and triceps. He looks like a football coach. Okay. And then the one on the left. He's just getting started. Then go to to the one holding the book down with Amazon. Look at this. He's holding the book Your Next Five Moves. Smart guy on what book he's reading. But look look at the guy on the right. Okay. You got the veins popping out. The guy looks like a professional sports owners, you know, team owner. So, a a part of me for for this is nerds as they grow up like a Gates or a Bezos, they want to find a way to be cool.

>> I I agree.

>> Cool. People when they grow up in high school, they want to find a way to get rich because typically the kids in school that were popular, they end up becoming broke.

>> 100%.

>> Okay. Most of them. Not all of them. Some of them, right?

>> And so, this is the thing to go through. But I think the one on the left is probably fake cuz those cheeks are a little bit too cheeky.

>> Yeah.

>> But the one on the right is probably not fake. That's probably exactly what it looks like today. So there's nothing wrong with recreating yourself and uh you know recreating yourself and putting that. But Mr. Rogers, why Mr. Rogers?

>> Because Mr. Rogers Pat made people feel safe. Is that what it is?

>> Yeah. Because think about it. This friendly genius look that he's trying to push. And it was you know why they said Pat? so that we the the public would trust him. Tom is a a businessman. He's a president. He's doing good Tom because he wants to look professional. You're trying to look good so people trust you. But you're a pinion because you're what I'm going to I'm going to wear a Mr. Rogers outfit next time >> and let's see how what happened. You know what? Okay. So, take a look.

>> Take your take your future.

>> Look at that right there. What he's wearing that old Rob. Can you send that to me, Rob?

>> Can you send that to me for me to get that exact outfit?

>> But you know what it is? Maybe it's because I never watched Mr. Rogers cuz I came here at 12, 1990.

>> You missed that whole day.

>> But I watched Mr. Abbos in Iran.

>> Did you really?

>> I I had a Mr. Abbus and Mr. Abbas was hairy, facial hair, sweaty, no deodorant. You can smell them through the TV with two channels that we had in Iran.

>> No, it's it's he's not going to be around right now. Adam, your thoughts on this? Yeah. The look, I think there's a lesson here for for most men actually because I see guys move here from Silicon Valley to LA from to from California, LA, San Francisco to Miami, and they're basically evading taxes. We all know what's going on there. And they're to complete total nerds. But you know what these nerds got?

>> Money. They have millions of dollars, sometimes billions of dollars. But you know what happens? They come here and they try to be cool. For the first time in their life, they had a big exit. They made 10 million, 100 million, whatever it is. And the women of Miami or women in general smell it on them. They're like, "This guy has no clue what he's doing. Can you buy me a bag?" Sure, honey. Can you take me out for dinner? Sure, honey. And what happens is these guys basically don't have swag. End up basically lose their money. What's the whole what's the whole phrase from back in the day? The man with experience meets the man with money. Or the man with the money meets a man with experience. The man uh with money leaves with experience. The man with experience leaves with the money. That's what's going to happen here. So, everyone should go through this recreation. All these nerds, these these people who are building companies who have never been cool, have never had looks or personality, all of a sudden they're lacking that.

>> Yeah.

>> So, they need to improve that. Like PBD said, the people who used to be cool, maybe never had money. So, in anything in life, you have to be a triple threat in anything.

>> You have to have money, especially if you're a man. You have to have a good personality or game, as they say. And you need to actually look good and carry yourself good. Triple threat of a man of status. So where you're lacking in that, you will be exposed.

>> I think having Christ, number one, is the first attribute you have to have. That's number one. But number two, Adam, the point I'm making with this is he knows who he is. He knows what about the Epstein stuff. He knows that allegedly what he did against his wife and was asking Epstein for STD medication because he secretly allegedly gave it to his wife. Hold on. He's pushing warning everybody of pandemics. And then you're pushing a vaccine that's not freaking safe. And then you're telling your team, "Make me look like Mr. Rogers so I look safe to them." That to me is a whole different story.

>> Who else do you think he was gonna look like if he's like making me look like Axel Rose or Justin Bieber? They're like, they're like, who could he possibly look like?

>> But the only thing you're going to pull off right here is Dr. Well, you have a thing for Bill Gates and you think that he is evil. And I get it.

>> There's a lot of people who who agree with you. I'm just saying if you're his image consultant,

>> facts if you're his image consultant and you're worth billions of dollars,

>> you're going to be like, "Listen, your new look is Mr. Rogers. Good luck. He's a horny, creepy old man. That's what he is.

>> Yeah. Okay. But he's worth billions of dollars.

>> Let's go to the next one here. AI data centers. Check this out. So CEO of Cerebras comes out and says as an as AI as an industry has done a terrible job of selling data centers and we ought to pay our own way. Here he is. Go ahead Rob.

>> I'm sorry. This is Kevin O.

>> Oh no no no. Cereio. Do you have that one or no?

>> Kevin looking let me let me play this and then let me read this and Rob and then maybe we'll play that clip. So Andrew Feldman says, "The AI industry has done a poor job of selling data centers to the public. He has a different message in mind. Modeled after Microsoft President Brad Smith, "These can be clean. They can make jobs. They can be good for communities." He said at a 20VC podcast, "We can do it thoughtfully." Feldman, fresh off the chipmakers. Blockbuster IPO said AI companies need to be better neighbors when approaching communities where they plan to build massive facilities to house the thousands of advanced chips needed to power AI models. There's no reason why we can't add these add to communities and have the community benefit from it. And we have to do some thinking. We all have heavy equipment out there. Build a football field for the local school, build a school, build a church or a synagogue to the community. We can be good neighbors at very, very low cost. Data centers need to be better stewards of local resources. Feldman said in some cases they tried to pawn off costs on local community or use outdated financial arrangements that left the community holding the bag. Which Tom is raising his hand because he wants to jump into the story. And in others, they were wasteful of resources. This is not cool and none of this needs to be the case. Tom, it sounds like you agree with him.

>> I absolutely agree with him and I thank you for standing up. So, you know, you have this incredible IPO that goes out there. Serass goes out there, big IPO, everything going on, and then you have all the things going on. These folks have built data centers. They have one in Santa Clara, Stockton, Dallas, and Oklahoma City. Pat, Oklahoma City in terms of speed is one of the fastest data centers in the world. Not the fastest, but it's one of the fastest in the world. And he's got another one planned for Atlanta. So, he knows what he's talking about. And he's also, I think, speaking to the rest of the industry. Now, was he speaking like this a year ago? I can't find quotes and things on this, but he's saying the right thing today, and I hope that this is what he believed. I could go back and read the S1 from the IPO and go see if this is what they were talking about. But when he talks about outdated um financial agreements, that's like the bad sports stadiums. We were talking last week about sports stadiums, Pat, right? where the cities get all excited and they put a bond out there which the people got to pay the interest on the taxpayers and then they give them tax-free status and then they promise to build, you know, roads and and and get more access around it like Miami and yet they got no new roads and no access in Miami, as you know, Adam, to the Marlin Stadium. And so people are trying to get down to Little Havana. It's always just a grind to get down there. Well, this guy's saying the right things and I agree with him. And by the way, when he says, "Let's pay our own way on energy," let me code that for you. We want to put small nuke, modern technology, modern generation nuke reactors right next to our data centers and power them. And if I was the president, I've been saying this over and over again. I would say, "Give me the pen. I have the pen. Excuse me. Give me the permits and let's get these things signed so that we can Department of Energy, EPA, everybody work together on this. Let's get this signed. Let's put them in there with one caveat. If tornadoes take out a lot of things locally and we need power backup, you turn down the power in your data center, flip the switch, and take your reactor and pump the power out to the public electric network. That's all I want you to do. I just want you your permit comes with in the event of civil emergency, usually weather in the Midwest in this case, I want you to it could be earthquakes. Santa Clara is in California. Uh so Stockton, you do it. But I I like this. I think this is this is where capitalism meets corporate stewardship means responsibly community member of community

>> and he's a pretty direct interviewer. He doesn't hold back. He's tough. He's strong. He's built a company Vinnie that's 60 to$100 billion a thousand employees. Their revenue last year was around $550 million in 2025. They're saying they could be a potential competitor of Nvidia. They're probably in the same category as uh uh as um not OpenAI. Open AI has got a revenue of 20 billion, 22 billion, give or take. They're making real revenue. These guys are at 500 million, but they're coming up. They're coming up. And he's a three and a half, three, three and a half billion auto guy. So, he's a legit guy saying something.

>> They do have a product. It's called the WSC3, the wafer scale engine 3 chip. And so, they're out there competing with him.

>> So, let's see what happens here.

>> Can I Can I jump in on this? It kind of reminds me of your book where you talk about you need to have logic and emotion. I think you talked about it and choose your enemies wisely, did you not? And here's what it is. In in any business, you have two main core components. You have the product and you have the marketing. One can argue that the product here is necessary for America to succeed and our prosperity. AI, data, innovation, of course, but you need to sell that to the public. The public has kids and families and they want a nice community and you need to do a better job of selling that, selling the dream as you call it. You talk about, you know, what is what is Mario Cuomo's famous quote? You have to campaign in poetry but then govern in pros. sell this to the people with empathy.

>> That's what he's saying. That's his point. What's your point?

>> That's that's that's what I'm saying. They need to do a better job of that. My point is this. AI is not going anywhere.

>> The product is is necessary. It's innovative. You think AI is going to help America. We need to compete with China. Just like Kevin Olirri basically said as there there's been a sort of a hit campaign from China and other foes of ours who don't want to see it done here. But both things need to be done just like you said when you're putting a business plan together. Use logic, use emotion, use authority, and use empathy. And that's how you sell the dream.

>> There you go, folks. That was Adam had to put the final thoughts because you know Adam was just my thoughts.

>> But I understand that. But I was going to the next story, but I'm sorry.

>> You wanted to give the next story I won't speak.

>> Yes. No, you can speak on the next story, but if it's a story I'm coming to you, speak on it. You just repeated what the guy said, but it's fine. Let me get to the next one. Next story. Vinnie, next story. And I've given you the feedback. So So anyways, let me get to the next story. So apparently Google is planning on releasing mosquitoes.

>> Great.

>> Okay. What do you mean mosquitoes? They want to release millions of mosquitoes into California to help stop diseases. What's the disease? What do you What do you want to do? No, they want to release mosqu guys. This is not a like this is not Rob. This is not a spoof of a story. This is a real story that we're talking about.

>> Correct. And they want to do it here in the state of Florida as well.

>> Yeah. Well, that's where that's where you know it's going to be a problem when you're doing something like that. But Google planning to release mosquitoes, a tech giant is seeking federal approval to release, you ready for this folks? 32 million specially treated mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next two years as part of an effort to reduce the spread of mosquitoborn disease including Westnile virus, St. Louis and syphilitis and then a bunch of other uh viruses that I'm not going to read. The uh the proposal is currently under review by the US Environmental Protection Agency, which is accepting public comments through June 5th before deciding whether to issue an experimental uh permit. Rob, can we see what these mosquitoes look like that they're talking about? On Friday, a positive sample of Westnile virus was confirmed in Riverside County. The project is part of Google's little known debug initiative launched more than a decade ago to develop new techn technologies aimed at reducing populations of disease carrying mosquitoes. Rather than releasing biting insects, the company plans to release male mosquitoes infected with wbakia, a naturally occurring bacteria. Is that what the mosquitoes look like? She

>> has eyebrows. Rob, is that it?

>> Yes, that's what they're said. This from the CDC.

>> How long does it take to make each of these mosquitoes? Do we know? How long does it take to make these mosquitoes? What is the cost of each mosquito? So, one of them is a self-limiting gene that prevents female mosquitoes offspring from surviving to adulthood. Another one is a fluorescent marker gene that f that glows under a special red light that allows researchers to identify GM mosquitoes in the wild. GM mosquitoes produce in a lab lay eggs which carry the self-limiting and fluorescent marker used for mosquito control. When the egg hatch, they develop into adult mosquitoes. These mosquitoes mate with wild females. Makes sense. The genes are passed on to offspring. The expected result of using GM mosquitoes is that number of AE uh mosquitoes in that area decreases. It's pretty wild. Did you know that only female mosquitoes bite? They need a blood meal to produce eggs. Male mosquitoes do not bite.

>> Typical.

>> They need they feed on nectar from flowers. Tom, your thoughts on this? Does this concern you at all? Yes, because you know what? I find this to be ridiculous. You know why I find this to be? I don't trust it because California and Florida do have something in common and that is massive agriculture crops. You know, there are grapefruit and oranges and it's called Orange County around uh Orlando for a reason. And it was called Orange County in Southern California for a reason. So, check this out, Pat. Fruit flies can be a problem. They can infest um orange groves, grapefruits, lemons. you saw all the lemons. We used to drive in um um up through um Ventura County toward um Santa Barbara and you could see lemongr all this stuff. Well, check this out. Fruit flies became a problem and scientists came up and says, "Hey, you know what we could do? We could breed a bunch of sterile males. We can breed a bunch of fruit flies. We'll sterilize the male with chemical or radiation or something. We'll have some various techniques and then we'll release them out into the wild and then they'll mate with the females and the females won't get pregnant and there'll be no more fruit flies and we'll cause it. They spent millions and millions, I think even billions of dollars on it. And guess what happened?

>> The neutered male fruit flies were less strong and they didn't fly as well. And sometimes they would mate with the female and then she would turn around and then mate with a wild male fruitfly and get pregnant. Anyway, that's what was happening. I don't trust these programs. And by the way, there's a hysterical University of Nebraska study that goes back like 2010, 2012, but it basically said, "Guys, sterilizing the fruit flies and sending them out may not even work. As a matter of fact, you may have the same sized problem that you did because the sterile males, you know, flew weekly. And by the way, guess what? The females in the wild tended to prefer the males that were in the wild, not the sterilized weak flying sterile fruit flies. And I thought this was hysterical. So, by the way, they tested

>> this is like, here we go again.

>> They did this in 2017. Google did this actually. Google's uh life sciences unit is releasing 20 million bacterias in Fresno infected mosquitoes in Fresno. Verily the life science armor Google parent company Alphabet has hatched a plan to release 20 million labmade bacteria infected mosquitoes in Fresno and that's a good thing. You see the Zika carrying edis Egypt mosquitoes pre prevalent in the area. Earlier this year woman contract contracted with the first case of Zika in Fresno through sexual contact with a partner who has been traveling. Now there's a fear of inevitable mosquito meets patient if we don't do something about it. Very plants called the debug project hopes to now wipe out. I mean you know there's certain industries you go in that first of all even by the way let's just say a noble person was running that company.

>> Okay. Alphabet.

>> No no let's say a noble person is trying to release these mosquitoes. Take somebody you trust and they're running a company.

>> Okay.

>> Is there any winning in this business? People ask you what do you do for a living? We released mosquitoes.

>> Wait, wait. How many?

>> Yeah. In 2017, we released 20 million in Fresno and we're thinking about doing 32 million, but we're good people. We're churchgoing.

>> Okay.

>> How hard of a job it is to do.

>> Dude, you ruined my summer. My backyard was terrible.

>> By by the way, in full like to be in give you some context, you know how much 32 million mosquitoes are? Not a lot. Rob, how many total mosquitoes are there in America? I'm sure somebody counted them one by one by one.

>> Two million.

>> Yeah. Yeah. No. No. No. separate them by citizens and illegals.

>> It has tens of trillions.

>> That's the number.

>> Tens of trillions.

>> Tens of trillions of mosquitoes. 32 million mosquitoes is like the poor 22,000 cops in France trying to prevent all the immigrants in France of destroying the city with 7880 arrests. 32 million mosquitoes is nothing.

>> Tens of trillions.

>> Tens of trillions of mosquitoes just in North America alone. By the way, added tens of trillion, nine of them are in Fort Lauderdale. I don't know if you know that or not. During summer, they show up when it rains. Adam, your thoughts on this because they want to release this in California and Florida?

>> Yeah. Like 62%.

>> I just want to know one question. Do local communities get to vote on this or do they just get to release mosquitoes

>> uh when they feel like it? It's kind It kind of reminds me one of those things that's like you only stop a bad guy with a gun, with a good guy with a gun. It's like you only stop a incilitus mosquito with a non-male binary mosquito that basically takes down the queen mosquito. Everyone should be skeptical, but at the same time, we should understand. I assume they know what they're doing.

>> You're going to assume. I don't listen. I don't know about you, but the past few years, people don't blame.

>> Adam asked a good question, though. Did the people of the city have to vote vote for?

>> I asked, did people in Fresno have to vote for it? Says no.

>> The residents of Fresno did not vote for the mosquito project. The program was handled through a combination of regulatory approvals, local mosquito control district, public comment period, and environmental and health reviews. It was not placed on a statewide ballot for Fresno voters. Verily worked with local mosquito control authorities and state federal regulators to conduct a release. Public meetings and common opportunities were held, but there was no referendum requiring majority voter approval. That's interesting. Yeah, you would want the people that are living there at least to have a say like at schoolboard meetings and be like, "Hey, I'm not cool with what you guys are doing. You guys are putting these books in the library. They get to go and voice their opinion and push back."

>> Yeah. So, the critics were saying exactly what you said. Critics said the residents should have a direct vote. Releasing millions of mosquitoes affected by broader community. We should have something to say. Large-scale biological interventions should require stronger public consent. Man, I don't know. This is the direction we're going.

>> By the way, have we not learned in the past couple years just blindly trusting these giant corporations and billionaires? They're playing scientists. We just talked about Bill Gates recently. This is Google. Google and al this alphabet, right? This is a parent company.

>> Let me tell you what's coming. Oh man.

>> Let me tell you what's coming.

>> What?

>> Can we play imagination game real quick? You ready?

>> Go ahead.

>> Okay. So, check this out.

>> What is the likelihood that if it already exists, it could already exist. What is the likelihood in the next five, ten years there's going to be mosquito drones this small that they'll fly into the negotiation room. Oh,

>> and just sit, you know, say, I'd love to be a fly on the wall. Well, that's exactly what they're going to do.

>> Military mosquito-sized drones to go

>> and track anything and everything that's being said and leak the information. I wouldn't put I if they're not already in the late stages or they don't have one, they'd be very very dumb. Like I'm pretty sure that they're almost there. Do you remember in

>> Well, you could never tell anybody about it. Is that it, Rob?

>> Look at that guy.

>> Look at that guy. What does this drone do? Tiny. Quiet enough to be called mosquito drone.

>> Black hornet. What does it do, Rob?

>> I horn it.

>> Oh, okay. C Can you play it? Actually, play. Let's listen to the audio. Yeah, for sure. This is coming.

>> Maybe the music we can't play. Yeah, it has the camera in there. Look at the camera. The way it comes out.

>> Boom. It's like the mosquitoes dangling, but it's the camera that comes out

>> and then it records.

>> I wouldn't put it past. It's

>> flight computer. You can make it so flipping small that is not even detectable. Data extractor, Vinnie. It goes in the computer and extracts. Like, ever seen the Transformers one?

>> Yeah.

>> Well, the first the thing is in a purse and it's trying to find Wiki's glasses.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Wiki.

>> Yeah. Wiki's glasses.

>> Do you remember in uh uh the Fifth Element they had the guy had a remote control? Cockroach had like things on its head.

>> Oh, Pat freaking sharks have laser beams.

>> What's the term they use when they when you have uh something in a room recording devices? It's called bugged.

>> Aa. There you go. Right there. By the way, you remember when you caught my uh massage mosquito?

>> Yeah.

>> Yeah. I'm replacing that as we speak.

>> There was quite a few. I'm replacing that as we say.

>> But but by the way, do you not think for a second intel agencies are right now working on mosquito sized cameras?

>> It's already done.

>> I think it's already it's already done

>> for sure. I mean,

>> instead of biting you, the mosquitoes just like cuz pagers are big. Mosquitoes are now.

>> Yeah, exactly.

>> Pagers are Imagine 5,000 mosquitoes going boom boom boom and it just pops and it bites you. And by the way, even worse,

>> like there's some really nasty areas you can go. Imagine mosquitoes that can release a viruses. Oh,

>> the way you can get rid of 50% of a nation.

That's what they just fly. No, literally, I know. You drop them, they go. They're it's like on a mission. Release a hundred mosquitoes into an area. Next thing you know, half the population is gone.

It used to be frogs they used to focus on, and they would frogs would become, you know, it's a different situation. But, yeah, anyways, I I don't know these mosquitoes. I don't trust.

But, uh, neither. So let's go to the next story. Next one I want to get into is, you know, folks, if if you don't like, you know, if if you like speeding, all right, and you get a lot of speeding tickets and you're part of that community, you know what it is. It's like it's very, and it's a it's it's a very close-knit group of people that relate to each other who have a very strong right foot. It's problematic for some of us. Some of you who have had your license suspended two or three times. My license was just suspended three months ago. I don't even know. So Jennifer's like, "You know, your license was just suspended." For what, babe? Speeding tickets are not a good thing to get, but some people get a lot of them. Okay. Hok wants to put cameras, tracking device apparently in your car if you get a lot of speeding tickets. Go ahead, Rob.

This is another area where I'm surprised at the controversy around it when it makes so much sense. You think about someone. I'm going to ask these gentlemen here. If someone gets 16 speeding tickets in a year, would you consider that an excess speeder? And yeah, that's that's not normal. They're just looking for an accident. They're looking to end up in this repair on the back. So, what we said, we have to protect people. There's pedestrians. There's moms pushing strollers. There's people on bikes. There's kids going to school. We have to protect people. And if someone is so flagrantly violating the laws that there's a callous disregard of human life, is the only way I can describe it. There had to be consequences. Have to be. So now we have technology that says there's a device that can be installed in a vehicle that would limit how fast you can go. And I think that's what happens. There's plenty of notification. You can appeal if you want to question one of the tickets in the pro. There's due process. We'll make sure. But installing this, and if you don't install it after 45 days, you lose your registration. You should not be on the roads if you don't care about whether or not you're going to kill somebody.

And when you hug a mom, are the people behind you? Do they not have a job? Go to work. What are you doing? Look at the guy in the middle. Look at the guy in the middle. How he's looking down in shame. You know why? He's got 17. He's worried. Look at him closely. He's like, "Ah [ __ ] What's going to happen if they find out?"

Yeah. What's going to happen if they find out? But but here's the thing. You know how they start off with it's just a 1% tax. Yes. It's just the 3%. It's just 5%. It's just 10% Vinnie. It's just 33%. Hello. It's 57%. You're living in the state of California. So they can start off with it's only it's speed 16 speeding tickets. Okay. In a year Vinnie. That's a lot. I mean, that if you got 16 speeding tickets in a year, you don't deserve a license. I agree. They should take that license away from you. But if they started with 16, guess what? Eventually can get down to three speeding tickets a year. I was going to say three. So if you get three speeding tickets in a year, so they'll control the knob and they'll keep making it tighter, tighter, tighter. Tom, for someone like you who never speeds, what do you think about the story?

Well, uh, we have speed bumps made on the property on 11 property. They name this may, you know, shock some people, but uh, I'm coming up on 10 years. No speeding tickets. No, no speeding tickets. Okay. To all the cops in Fort Lauderdale. I can tell you he's got a red Ferrari stand outside of our building. And what does this What does it say around his license plate? You know what it says? What's it say, Tom? F the police. Uh very No, that's on the front. That's on the front. I'm not speeding. I'm qualifying. I'm qualifying. You know what that's telling the cop? Hey, it's all good. I speed. That's letting the cop know that I drive fast because.

No, I mean, I think there's so so number one, um, some time ago, um, uh, for people who were alcoholics, there was, uh, mechanisms that could be put in a vehicle so that you had to do a breathalyzer when you got in the vehicle, and if it detected anything, um, it would not let you start the car. And those were people that were trying to recover but had multiple relapses. And so those sorts of things were good, but those are supposed to be court-ordered devices that said, "Hey, we're going to do this." Uh, this the police are here for the speeding tickets and then you suspend the license. So I this is you give the government a knob and they're going to turn it, and that's not good. And this is from a guy that minding my own business late for work in April of 19, you know, uh, 86. um, you know, leaving school, had six moving violations in a one and a half mile, uh, uh, distance, and I was pulled over by two cops and a helicopter. And oh, they added attempted, they also added attempted to evade pursuit. That last one really pisses them off.

You got choppered. Yeah, I got choppered. So it was six violations. So I but I almost lost my license because I had a clean record, and you're like, you have a clean record and you had a very busy morning, kid. But, um, I saw a lot of people in that experience.

Weren't you like 59 when that was like? Yeah. No, no. Is this this is this is Tom? This is 1986. So basically, I sat in traffic court because I'm not just in little traffic court. I'm in, hey, you know, we want to we want to charge you here vehicular misdemeanor. We want to take your license and all that. What was interesting in there, I saw a lot of people in there that shouldn't be driving, and a lot of people in there that were struggling with life and had a lot of things that you say, man, if there's a mechanism to keep them out of the car or or to have some sort of checkpoint for the safety of mankind, you know, maybe we should do it. But I am against this. You can voluntarily do this with your insurance company. You know that, Pat? You're about to have a teenage driver. You can voluntarily put the sensor in your car, and it will, and it takes all the data, and then with a cell phone, you send that data once a month or whatever to your, um, insurance company. I think now if the car has, uh, Wi-Fi in it or is a connected car, it'll send it in automatically, and they will give you a discount on your teenage driver if the teenage driver is showing to be a good safe driver.

Really? Yep. It tests it tests how quickly you accelerate. It tests like speed. It knows where you are on I95. It knows the difference between 72 and 85.

You're selling me on Hokll now, Tom. You're not telling me that I'm greatest governor. I'm against big brother. I never thought Tom was going to be like. I'm against big brother, but I'm in favor of capitalism coming up with solutions that citizens voluntarily use. Here it is. State Farm, drive safe and save. Telmatics for parents that gives you a discount if your kid is not driving like an idiot.

Rob, what do you think about this? I'm a I'm a hypocrite cuz I have the State Farm Drive Safe and Save. Oh, you do? I do. But I'm against Kathy Hok being able to regulate cuz I I agree with you. I think it's a slippery slope the second what how long until it becomes, Oh, in addition to this, let's take anybody who's shoplifted. Not condoning the act by any means, but they're just going to keep moving the goalpost to make it easier and easier and easier to regulate your driver. Or all these people who are registered Republicans. Yeah, exactly. Or you had me. All of a sudden it becomes that CDBC, uh, the central bank digital currency fee, whereas if you're not playing by their rules, you don't get to play at all.

Adam, that's a heavy driver. How do you feel about? Listen, this is my story, pal. You know, I'm a super speeder. Because I know you're going to say something. Of course. Well, listen, real here. If someone has 16 tickets in a year, what kind of driver is that? Well, I don't want PBD on the road. I've been encouraging this guy not to drive since the day I've met him. Have I not? I only drive twice a week now. And that's what I like. Shout out to Mike. Shout out to Dan. But I think there's a bigger conversation here about that we should be having about government control and regulation over liberty. A lot of people objected to having seat belts in your car. Seat belts have saved lives. A lot of people objected to gun rights, but there's certain guns that shouldn't be out on the streets, but we should honor the Second Amendment. Freedom of speech, taxes. There's an ongoing control liberty conversation in America. But, you know, 16 speeding tickets in a year, you probably should have some regulation, just like a DUI. You should probably should not have more than one DUI in a year. I know people that have three to five DUIs. These guys should not be on the road. There are some people that should not be driving. That I I'm I'm fully with. One time a cop pulls over my dad. My dad looks at the cop. He says, "What are you doing?" He says, "What do you mean, what am I doing? I'm pulling you over." He says, "There's no law I've ever broken. Go look at my record since 1984, which is when he got his license. He's I've never had a speeding." He gets upset at the cop. The cop lets him go. My dad's never had a ticket since 1984. Once he follows the law better than the law.

Good. So if it says 65, my dad's doing 62. I love him. If he says stop for 3 seconds, he'll take 20 seconds. Yeah. My dad's the kind of guy if we got a flighting citizen. If we got to fly today at 2:00 in the afternoon, my dad's 7 a.m. He's not. Guys, there's 700 a.m. yesterday. You're texting like movie starts at 3:00. I'll pick him up at 2:30. I'm like, dude, you can leave at 3:15. Yeah, the movie starts at. Pat's like, "No, Pat here. We're good." I go, "Pat, it's 2:58." And you have 20 minutes of promos.

So, let me let me actually go into the story because So, a meme becomes a movie. You mean to tell me a meme and a guy makes a video gets 7.9 million views with doors and what is it called? It's called back what? Back rooms. Back rooms. And this thing becomes a movie. A 20-year-old directs the movie. Yeah. Small little budget. And how much did it do opening weekend, Vinnie?

So Pat, so Obsession. Okay. I'm sorry. Back rooms was made for 10 million. It made, um, I don't have the number. Oh, I'm sorry. Uh, 117 million opening weekend. 117 million opening weekend. That's crazy. Good for him. So this weekend, a a moody horror movie based on internet meme looks like it could bring in astonishing $60 million at the box office, which means it could be Disney's Mandalorian Star Wars director Kain Parsons has made stuff on YouTube for years, but this was a film for theaters, which made sense. He is 20 years old. The follows of success of Obsession, which has grossed $74 million last two weeks. It was made by 26-year-old Curry Barker, another YouTube veteran, making his theatrical debut. These those films come after Mark Fishbach, better known for his 38 million YouTube fans as Markiplier, brought out his Iron Lung movie, which he made for a reported 3 million. Okay, so I haven't seen it yet. I was supposed to go watch it with you, but I went and watched a different movie yesterday.

What'd you guys watch? Okay, so let me tell you what movie we watched. Cuz Brooklyn tried Brooklyn came out of the movie. She jumped in my arms and then she was trying to tell me. You heard her character breakdown or the movie breakdown was hilarious. Badly tell you originally I wasn't going to say this, but we watched a movie called Sheep Detectives. I'm actually not kidding with you. We watched sheep detectives and yes, I'm proud that I watch this movie. Let me tell you, a phenomenal starring Elton phenomenal movie. Believe it or not, it's a phenomenal movie. But what what was this? The back back what is it called? Back rooms. Back rooms. It's it's so I'm not giving anything away. No spoiler alert. I'm not that guy. But it was basically thriller horror, right? The horror horror film. Were you ever scared, like shiver? Oh, absolutely. Oh, I by the way, I screamed. By the way, Tico's holding his ears by the the music, the soundtrack. All amazing. All amazing. This guy who owns a furniture store, finds this part of a wall that goes into another dimension. I'm not going to give it away, but guys, it was weird. It felt like a mix of like, uh, what's the movie with Inception with a mix of like, I don't even know, like Matrix. It was it was great but bad. This is it. This is the biggest opening ever for an original film. Like you said, 20-year-old Kane Parsons. He started on YouTube. But here's what's happening. Disney spent $165 million and seven years trying to revive Star Wars. Okay. Obsession came out, Pat, which I already text this morning. Uh, it was made for 750,000. Okay. Both directed, by the way, by by 20-year-old, uh, YouTubers. Disney sitting at number three. Think about that, guys. Okay. Not only did Star Wars lose, uh, the weekday numbers to Obsession last week, but, uh, in the weekend, too, it collapsed 69.4%. The worst second week drop in Star Wars history. Worse than Solo, uh, which everybody considered it a disaster. Then it gets even more embarrassing. Obsession in his third week went up 19% past Star Wars again. Then backroom showed up and steamrolls everybody. Okay. And my thing is this is what happens when Holly Hollywood. We've seen it for the past got what eight years, Pat, maybe a little bit more. They forgot about storytelling and they making content that feels corporate, sanitized, woke, DEI nonsense, preachy, and just manufactured, uh, committees. But these, in other words, Hollywood. Yeah. Exactly. But these younger creators, they grew up understanding like the internet culture, what people like, this suspense, the pacing. Guys, I told Tico, the way that it's shot, you feel like you're there. And when you're getting those jump scares, you actually feel like it's scary. Not not not like the nonsense that these freaking big studios are making. And then like this actually, you're entertaining people and not lecturing them every freaking five minutes.

This is the guy, this video right here. You won't believe how many views it got. So, he produced this. This was a meme. He produced this four years ago. 5 years ago, this video. Yeah. Guess how many views this video has with 9 minutes and 13 seconds. How much? How many views you think this thing's got? Can you fast forward a little bit? Okay. So, it starts like that and then it's just. This is it. By the way, this is the. You know how many views this thing's got from four years ago? Rob, can you pull it out so they can see? That sounded bad. Can you just pull the. 81 81 million views is what it's got. Good for him. Four years ago. Good for him. And it's the same guy that ends up doing the movie. Yeah. And then Pat, check that out though. See that that see that 3.19 million. Those people he grew the fans by himself. They know exactly who he is. They know he knows how to shoot. They're the ones going and supporting and they're going and to watch it. I had, by the way, I had no idea who he was till Tico showed me this guy. This guy before the movie. Tico was showing me this.

The game is changing, man. With kids. The game is changing with movies. 20-year-old directors making a movie that does $118 million worldwide opening weekend. Truly scar. And and hold on. And truly scaring people like, cuz that's the thing. That's the thing. You're going to go watch it cuz you want to get scared. Pat, Obsession and The Mandalorian and Guru, they're both tracking to make $300 million. Let's Let's just be okay. Even though the indie horror cost 750, the the reboot for Star Wars costs 165 million with another 200 million on marketing. Guess what Kane's marketing is? My YouTube channel. Check out my YouTube channel and doing what we're doing. So, kudos to him, Pat, and all these young indie people that are beyond making a dent. They're they're knocking down the damn building.

You know what's really You know what's really crazy about this that you bring this up? You know what was the most successful independent one of the one of the two most successful independent movies? Hey guys, uh Blair Witch Project 1999 and it cost 60,000 to make, which is 150,000 today, and it did a 248 box office. What about then then there was the room also 2003, and then you have um El Mariachi 1992, and then Iron Lung that was built this year, and Obsession this year. So you have two of the top seven independent movies of all time, small budget, self-funded, happened just this year. And what Patcha said, the game is changing. The the um do you remember um Big Fat Greek Wedding? Of course, that was that was a small, uh, studio fund. They said, "Look, we'll we'll we'll we'll do a $5 million budget." This is 2002, 2003. That's your ceiling. You got to you got to make it work for that. And so that would be 9.7 million today, and they went out and did $368 million, which is 650 today. So, you know what's really funny? It's what you're talking about. It's it's storytelling, and the projects that get through the filter. Um, there was, do you remember Project Greenlight? Of course. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, right? It's them telling the story of how hard it is to take good storytelling, and you got to get people to believe in it. Ben freaking Affleck took, I believe it was 11 years to get studio distrib. He had the money, but he needed to get studio distribution support for Argo. Argo. Yeah. Which was a freaking hit. Phenomenal movie. But he had the money, but he it took 11 years to get a studio behind it to give him a release date so he could get it.

God bless you. I could have done. Damn it. To you independent creators out there. Follow it, man. The audience is. I love this for kids. I love this for kids because you're talking to Tico. You're like, "How about we do a horror movie?" I love this for kids. You know, he's writing stuff right now. I of course he is. Did he tell you or No, he's writing. Did he tell me what? But I Oh, no. He's not telling anybody till he's done, but he's writing characters. I got him the book about how to write the book proper way by a guy named Jim Scott Bell that Tom introduced me to 15 years ago, and Jim Scott Bell, of Rob, if you pull him up, James Scott Bell, he wrote the best book on how to get the right plot for a book that the first one right there, plot and structure, right there. Yeah. I saw him reading this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the book. So this this book gives you, you know how to properly write a fiction book. So he's kind of going through it right now. He's deep into it, by the way. I love. He's deep into it. So, who knows? Maybe we're going to be, you know. I want to act. I told I'm an act. I better not die in the first 8 seconds of the movie. He will intentionally do something.

%. Let me get into the next story here. Next story I want to get into is roller coasters. Okay. And heights, folks. If you like heights, if you don't like heights, this is what just happened. Okay? And this is the video that he's describing. These these kids, these people are stuck on a roller coaster ride 105 ft up, and the ladder only goes up 100 ft, and they're trying to save these kids. These people. Play this clip. Go ahead. Wow.

So, uh, we're working with with feet and inches here. Just just the unique situation does make it a challenge, especially with all the the guests and the visitors, and of course, they had to be on the the day school was let out. So, uh, it was a challenge today to get personnel off the pier. Uh, but the the crews and the personnel here at Pleasure Pier, they did an amazing job with helping us, and, uh, it actually went smoother than expected.

Can you? I was going to be next. Like, okay, it's eight people for that coaster, right? So, I was next. And then obviously the little like roller coasters always makes noise, right? So, boom, they got on, they the roller coaster goes like this, it stops, right? So, once it stops, it pushes you all the way up. But this time, it made like a very like big bang, like it went boom. So, it just got stuck there. It just got stuck. And then there's where the like the operator was trying to click buttons and stuff like that, right? Just trying to like bring it down. So, then boom, he keeps doing he's like, "Oh, it's not working." So, he told the other guy cuz it's too rap. So boom. And then he was like, "Oh, I'm going to need you to get out." And then we were like, "Why?" He's like, "Oh, something's malfunctioning." We're like, "Oh, shoot. Good thing we didn't go first." Cuz nah, that would have been crazy. We'll be up there right now. You know.

I like the way he talks. What park was this? So rap. They said Pleasure Pier in, uh, Houston, Texas. It's for adults only. Pleasure Pier. What a terrible name for a park. Can you imagine? Pleasure. And the guys just like. N park with roller coaster rides. Yeah. Rob, do you have it of the people walking down and folks reacting to it? Folks, there is there is certain things in life that you you know, let me let me let me tell you, you watching this people coming down, the way they're hanging on to the rails just to make sure nothing happens to them. The the level of risk and concern some of these folks have while they're coming down, it's absolutely crazy. It took him, I don't know how long it took him. It took me a few hours for them to eventually get down. But there's so many clips on this. Is that the one where they're getting down? Oh my god. And look at the. Look at the guys turning around trying to get. Look at the guy on the top right. Oh god. Oh my god. Oh god. I hate that. But do you have them walking down, Rob? Cuz they're the best clips are. Okay, look at it. Look, they got one of them off. They're walking down safely. But you're It is That's nerve-wracking, Tom. I'm not. I hate it. For 4 hours, they were up there. Let me explain something to you. I like. Four hours, Vinnie. Four hours. Have you Have you Like I know this is a peer thing, but when's the last time you were at a carnival? Like, and we trust these people. Those guys are on meth. They have no teeth. That guy has no teeth. He can't take care of his teeth. You're going to trust him on a freaking roller coaster that Fred the methhead from freaking, you know. And they just put it together yesterday with a socket wrench. No, dude. Like the the trust that you have in those guys. I don't. I'm I don't. No. No. I. And Pat, thank God. Imagine, guys. Imagine if it was forward and they were forward and just dangling like that. No, dude. Nope. You'll never catch me on one of those.

So, a similar thing like this happened at Six Flags. And the Six Flags one was 245 ft up. And they had to walk down. Rob, I just texted it to you. They had to walk down, Vinnie. 245 ft up. And you have to hold. No. Look at Look at the way that girl's hanging up. It's windy. The guy behind him is just like, "Hey, wave in." Heights doing nothing for those guys. Five months. So he's. Look, look at the Look at the fourth guy. No, no, no. Go, Vinnie. This is like for some people this. Oh my god. That you. 245? No. 245 ft up. You're walking all the way down. No, thank you. I'm good.

So roller coasters. Yeah. Does it do anything for I before I got my ear injury, I was I would love it. I would go to, uh, Six Flags with my boy, uh, Buck, and we'd go on every single one. The ones where you lay forward and it goes backwards. I was cool with it. The moment that ear injury happened and my vertigo kicked in, I can't. Oh, I love it. I absolutely love it. Run a poll, Rob. Run a poll. How many people are afraid of roller co big? What do you call them? Like big roller coaster ride. The flipping ones, the ones that go up and down. Run a poll. I want to know what people say. Watch. Watch our audience be like, "You all love it." Going to say, can I can I guess a number? 75. 75% love it. 25% will never go on roller coaster.

Tom, does it bother you? Will you go on the big roller coaster rides? Well, I go on big roller coaster rides and I don't mind it. But I'm not going to go on like five a day and go over and over and over again. No. Um, I'll go there with other people, enjoy it and everything. I'm not afraid of it. I'm just not I'm just not into it. And I I don't go these little carnivals and little things like that. It better be like a tier one. He tried getting amusement. We were the recent one that where were we this past, uh, we did something where you're walking. We rented out the place where after the vault, after the vault, and Pat, listen to me. Pat's in front of me. He's like, "No, no, no, trust me. Come on." Something in me was like, I love him, but I do not trust him. That's the best ride. People got motorcycle, the motorcycle flipping upside down. What is it called? Velociraptor. I. Not velocirap. Veloca Coaster is one. Velociraptor's one. This guy was try like I would have been I still would have been three times in a row. Vinnie, that is the greatest ride in Universal Studios. I'm okay with that. There is nothing. I've never been on a better ride than this one. Uh, it's phenomenal. It's an incredible ride. Anyways, Adam, your thoughts on this?

I'm good on this. What you're talking about is Universal Studios. You took us there after, uh, the vault, and I caught myself in a little group with Natalia Senna. Oh, and I believe Liz, and the four of us went on a a Harry Potter ride. Who was the most excited to go on the ride? By far, Santa. Senna, obviously. And I learned something very unique about Universal Studios roller coasters. As soon as you get off, there's a throw up room on the left. You remember? AND WHY DO I KNOW THIS? Because Natalia. Throwing up. Love you, Nat. Telling you that. She's like, the lady just, they know the face. Yes, of course. They they're just like, "Come right this way." Boom. Harry Potter throw up world over there. Yeah. I said, "Where do you go?" She goes, "There's a throw up room over there." What do you do for a living? There's some guy mop mopping all day long singing a song. But that's what's going on. I'm good on these roller coasters. I don't have a need for speed. I don't even drive a car. I like to chill. But, uh, good to know if you go on a roller coaster, a throw up room on the left screen. Feed a bunch of six-year-olds blue and red jello and then pretend it's Fourth of July.

Let's go to to this next. By the way, did did you guys see the stuff with, uh, Diddy and and 50 Cent? I didn't heard about video and all this stuff and you know what happened there with 50 Cent's X, the Daddy's, uh, baby daddy type of stuff. You didn't say so you didn't follow the videos closely? You weren't like zooming in? Okay, so then let's go. If that's the case, let's just wrap up with this last story, which is the man held in triple homicide that killed three generations of California family. Vinnie, you wanted to talk about this. What happened here?

Okay. Is that the clip, Rob? Yes, sir. Go ahead, Rob. Family members of those three victims waited together outside of this crime scene as they learned what happened to their loved ones. They hurt the whole family. You know, it's three people, three loved ones. Modesto police say two women, a 23-year-old and a 54-year-old, were found stabbed to death at a home near Thrasher and Monterey Avenues. A baby was also stabbed and taken to the hospital where they died. The baby was about three, two weeks, three weeks. Stop. This is a tragedy, and and there's words cannot express, um, how terrible this incident is. Modesto police lieutenant Eric Scheler says a 4-year-old was also found inside of the home. They were taken to the hospital to be checked out and have since been cleared and released.

What Vinnie? What happened? Well, I'm tell you what happened, Pat. California sanctuary city, and I'm gonna say this. The blood of all of these people is on Gavin Newsome and his freaking failed, horrible state of California. Okay? This guy had prior DUI, Pat. Arrested. Ready for this? Federal immigration records show he was an illegal immigrant from Mexico, deported three separate times, returned, kept coming back. Okay? And this is the sanctuary state under California law. Local authorities, they're restricted from cooperating with ICE and all these immigration enforcement situations. Okay? And California sanctuary policies, they prevent ICE from taking custody of es this freaking. Can I call this guy a demon? That's a demon, Pat. That's a qualified demon. Okay. And I I have one question, Pat. Where are the protests? I'm just I'm so curious. Where are the crowds of people outside Gavin Newsome's mansion screaming for accountability after a mother and guys, 2 weeks old? Have you guys understand that? Butchered by this freaking illegal that's not supposed to be here. I want to know where the celebrities, where's everybody? Where are the nurses? Where are the nurses beating everybody up? And where are the lesbians blocking trying to drive over people? Where you at? Not one peep. This story barely made a freaking blip on the radar, but I had to bring it up, Pat. Three generations wiped out from a guy that's not only been deported, kept coming back in because California is like, "No, no, come, come, come in." I think it's disgusting, Pat. And this just goes back to our initial thing with people like Spencer, Pat, and all these governors that are trying. You guys need a change, and you need it ASAP. I pray for these family, Pat. God, God rest their souls. You know, especially the the two-week-old has a one-way ticket to heaven. God bless him. But this is Cal. What else do you expect from California? This is it.

Tom, thoughts? Well, it's tragic. Oh my goodness. Two weeks. So, the grandmother was Maria Sylvia Nunes Voboos, 54 years old. The daughter, Fabiola Gonzalez Nunes, 23 years old. Mateo Gonzalez, infant son, 2 weeks old. Two weeks old. Police responded to a disturbance call at 9:20 a.m. with multiple stabs. As they searched the residence, they found Maria, uh, with the infant also suffering from stab wounds. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene. The baby was transported and later on died, and a three-year-old was hiding. The three. Imagine that back. Police arrested Waqin Escotto, 28 years old.

Where and where h where are every why aren't why aren't they all losing their minds? Where are the Californians? Where are the protests? Where's the anger? Where's the the governors reaching out and saying something? Zero crickets. Okay. Hypocrisy at the greatest level. Like this should be the number one story. Is an illegal killed the entire three generations of people and a and a and a two-week-old. Anything? Anything CNN? Anything? Not one. Not one story. Period. Silence.

You're you're seeing things close in. You're seeing things close in and not fast enough for this family. Unfortunately, this this this disgusting tragedy. Um, my gosh. And now this this young child's got to grow up, uh, under the stewardship of foster care or some other distant relative, and then understand that he lost his his younger sibling. He he lost his grandma. He lost his mom, and and all all on a single day. And the bitterness and rage that can come out of that is horrible. Um, and and you you pray for that one. But I'll I'll tell you, I'll tell you, there are changes. You look in the last elections, and you look how people are voting. Forget that it's Trump. Look at the conservatism that is starting to roll in California. They're out there saying, "Get all these people into El Paso. Get the illegals into El Paso. Get the illegals into San Antonio. And get as many Californians and liberals into Austin as possible. Let's turn Texas purple, then turn it blue." That's their strategy. We'll get right right before their eyes. California is getting more and more red. Why is it that Karen Bass doesn't have 50%? Why is she sitting there at 40%? And even the best polls, um, there's a couple polls out there say she's 60%, but then you look at the composition of that they took a thousand voters, and like 70% of them were registered Democrats. So that's a flawed poll. And thank you for at least being honest about it. You have two independents that are carrying 15% of the vote, and you've got, um, Spencer Pratt. It is turning. Look, let's look tomorrow and see what that vote is in Los Angeles, and look at the last election cycles and see at the conservatism and look at the red counties in the central state, and things closing up. I believe the core citizens are saying they have it. They've had enough. But I don't see why I don't see any protest coming from the other side because they're not going to protest. This is this is not on message. This is not on narrative. So this is to be ignored. Let it go away. And that's what's disgusting. So it just goes to show you they don't care about people. They care about power, and the path to power. And the path to power isn't pointing this out as a problem. The path to power is ignoring this and making the other side the problem.

Adam, this is a disgusting story, Pat. You know, you know, they say, um, life is short, right? And I always push back and I say, well, life could also be long. You know, we're in the longevity world. I said, a lot of people are living to 100. You know, my grandma's 94 now, and another grandmother that died right after 100. But you know what life is? Life is precious. And at any point, it could be taken away. Three generations taken away in an instant. It's horrible. And I tell you what, the American people overall are just sick of. Look, we have some sick people in this country who are citizens of our country, and that needs to be dealt with. Whether that's self-inflicted, whether that's trans stuff, whether that's drug stuff, whether that's on your cell phone. We have a lot of people with a lot of issues. But what the average American just will not permit are illegal people, immigrants, coming here and doing even worse things. We have sick people who are doing things who are citizens, and again, need to be dealt with. But this is a line that of the average American says you don't even belong in this country, and this is what you're doing to citizens of this country. This is why people voted for Trump. This is why people are considering voting for Pratt. We need to have a return to normalcy and common sense and empathy and understanding of who we are as America. But but it it drives me crazy, Pat, that these California Gavin Newsome, the anti-ICE rhetoric, like you the not one peep about this. They just are they want you to hate on the people. There's still but New York, New Jersey has a bunch of riots happening outside the detention center because we're trying to get rid of these freaking people. Gavin Newsome's calling them freaking like basically the cast. Same thing with the freaking, uh, um, who's the guy from, uh, Chicago? Who's the governor? Pritzker. That's the the whole rhetoric is going after the people that are trying to get guys like this, this murderer of his own freaking like it just boggles my mind, but it's so frustrating that you don't hear nothing from them. Not one condolence. Not one thing like, hey guys, okay, this is this is a problem.

This doesn't help them because this story shows that you need ICE. This story shows and validates the need for what ICE does. But there's no way in the world they're going to show a story like this. They need the divide. But I I will tell you, Vinnie, I I Okay, so for instance, we every year we make mistakes. Okay, every year we make mistakes. Um, and we'll make mistakes in the insurance company. We'll make mistakes in our personal lives. We'll make mistakes on the way we're raising kids. We'll make mistakes with our company. Like right now, the stuff that, uh, the mistake we made, uh, uh, on, uh, the conversation that came up with Goliath Ventures for the vault conference last year on what happened, and we'll go and we, you know, people, oh my god, you know, I can't believe you did this, and we'll go and find ways on what we can do to improve our businesses every possible way. We'll openly talk about it with our crew and say, what can we do to improve anything that we're doing? And then there's groups of people that no matter what you do, they will only make noise when you fall.

Just remember that. They will only make noise when they're they're just salivating for you to fall behind closed doors. Then there are those that you're supporters, and they want to see you win, and they believe in your authenticity and who you're what you're doing, and they want to support you all the way, you know, all the way to the end, right? And then there's the people in the middle. The people in the middle are like, "Well, what happened though?" Well, okay, that's fair. I respect the fact they did. Okay, so but what happened here? Okay. Can you give me some of the facts? Here's Okay. You know what? I side with this. No, I side with this. No, I think the, you know, 250-year Fourth of July anniversary thing is a little bit of a cluster, and I think that's a screw-up. You could have done a better job with it. Hired an external team to have ran that and not put it on the White House to do it. That could have been good. No, I think is this. I think independents watch stories like this and they see hypocrisy, and they'll say, "You know what? You're so full of [ __ ]. All you want to do is divide, and you will not give the man any credit for anything that he does. All you want to do is tear him down. That's a part of you being on the limelight. But I bank on independents who have the ability to reason to sit there and say, "I think they're fair. I think that was a fair assessment. I think this isn't what needs to happen." So when you hear a story like this, by the way, apparently they were dating. Him and Fabola were dating. Apparently the three-year-old is their kid. And allegedly the two, the infant is theirs as well. People close to the matter are like, they had an argument. They had a dispute. They said maybe alcohol was involved. He's dealing with mental issues, and all this other. It doesn't matter what it is. No matter how much how much mental issues do you need to deal with to kill the grandmother, the daughter, and the granddaughter? Like who who needs to do something like that? What what gets you to those levels? So we need to make sure we keep our city safe. And by the way, Modesto is a place where a lot of Assyrians, you know, Syrians live in Modesto. That's right. Your Turlock area. That's right. That's right around the Turlock area. So, when you hear stories like this, breaks your heart for that family. Our prayers goes out to their family. Uh, uh, you know, there's nothing you can do to in one day you lose all three. How the hell do you deal with that when you're going through it? So, my heart's broken for this family that they're going through it.

Last but not least, before we wrap up, breaking news just came in right now, Rob, with the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said they're shutting it down. They're not keeping it open. They're closing it. And it's mainly around the stories of Lebanon and Israel fire that is going on. That's what they're saying, the stories behind what they're shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has accused Trump administration of ceasefire violations and will move to close Strait of Hormuz and stop exchanging messages with the US through intermediaries. Iran state affiliated outlet just said this. The report translated from a post on the message and app Telegram pointed to Israel's military operations in Lebanon against the Iranian-backed militia Ezola as a violation of the, uh, ceasefire with the US. Go a little bit lower, Rob. The report said an Israeli ceasefire in Lebanon is a precondition for the ceasefire between Iran and US, and the ceasefire has now been violated on all fronts. Iran's again, Abbas alachi posted on social media X that Lebanon is included in the ceasefire with the US, and any violation on the front shall be considered violation of all fronts. The US and Israel bear responsibility for the consequences of any breach of the truce. If you want to go a little bit lower, Rob, to wrap it up, Israel announced Sunday it's captured Israel's, uh, Lebanon's, uh, uh, is that the name? Buford. Buford, the one we talked about earlier. Yeah, Buford. Uh, BB on Monday ordered attacks, etc. So, here's a part when I read this, by the way, when I read this, it makes me think about two things. When you see this, one is the fact that, um, they they want you to leave Hezbollah alone. Isn't that one of their proxy militaries that they have that is on a rampage? I remember growing up with Hezbollah myself in Iran. So they want you to leave any of their proxy military, the Hezbollah, the Houthis. Part of the term is to leave them alone. Oh, that that makes a lot of sense when you're negotiating with them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So, but the part that they're getting this bold now goes back to.

The conversation that we had. Um, there's something going on internally with these guys. The extremists do not want to give up the power.

Yeah. The extremists do not want to give up the power. So, as you're negotiating with them and they're closing the Strait of Hormuz, Adam, your thoughts on this?

Oh, they're playing games, Pat. And I'll tell you why. Why would Lebanon be included in a ceasefire with Iran and the United States?

Because Hezbollah is funded by them. It's one of their militaries that. Because basically, who I said, I said Lebanon is now Iran first. People get accused, uh, America's owned by Israel.

Do me a favor first. Can you show me what the gas prices are? What, what are gas prices shown right now? What's happened since this announcement? I'm curious how.

50 on WTI oil.

Zoom in. Okay. It just went up, uh.

712 now.

So 8, uh.

Look at that spike.

8 and 8 plus percent increase. 9448. So it's real.

It's a real thing. Adam, continue. Look, Iran's playing games here. If, put yourself in each of these people's positions. Let's say you're Israel for a second. You're like, "Hey, um, we're not even in the room, so just let us know what's what's what's in the agreement." They go, "Yeah, yeah, you can't. Uh, part of the agreement is you can't go after, uh, Hezbollah anymore in, uh, Lebanon." And Israel goes, "Yeah, but, um, they're shooting rockets into our cities. So, what do you want us to do?" So, Israel, because they actually have an existential threat, literally, they're like, "No, dude. We're we're going to go after the terrorist regime that's basically embedded themselves in Lebanon known as Hezbollah. We can't condone this." And Iran goes, "Look, you see, they're just blame Israel. They broke the ceasefire again." And then, do you remember what JD Vance says? Do you remember what Marco Rubio says? Do you remember what Trump said? He goes, "Yeah, Hezbollah was never part of the ceasefire." Do you remember that?

Of course. JD Vance was like standing in front of an Air Force 2 or something like that.

He goes, "No, no, they're trying to input that into the ceasefire."

I get that agreement, but I'm going to tell you something as well, Adam. There is no way Israel wants this war to stop.

Israel wants a regime regime change.

I know they do. So, so then if, which, by the way, to the people that believe Hezbollah is bad, coups are bad, you know, all these military proxies that they fund that whatever money comes to them, they put in and make those for those that would be part of the side of the argument you would be with. But to me, I if I'm if if you're watching Bibi's moves, Bibi does not want this thing, this deal to get done.

Well, they they don't want the deal to get done.

This, you would know better than me. There's one word why Iran, the IRGC does not want this to get done and that word is revolution. If the IRGC and the Ayatollah is no longer running the Islamic Republic of Iran, you know what that means? That means the revolution is done.

The whole concept that they want is this Islamic revolution.

Yeah. To take over not only the Middle East but the world. So if there's an actual regime change and the IRGC, the Islamic, what does it stand for? Revolutionary Guard Corps. That means the revolution is done. So like I said at the beginning of the podcast, I don't see a deal getting done. And until they actually finish the job, I don't think we're leaving this.

But here's my point. Either they do it now or they do different things to different people.

Finish the job, Adam, is literally nuke them. Like that's the only wipe them all out because they're not going to return to the conversation about car.

Well, my question to you is what is finishing the job? Please, I want to know what finishing job cuz he makes a great point. Doesn't for him, the finish finishing the job is.

Is a is a regime collapse or regime change.

That that's that's what finishing the job. But but to me, let me let me go through again. It goes back to those five communities, right? It goes to IRGC, which is it goes to the moderates like Peshan, who claimed he was resigning yesterday, and now, you know, Moabo, he needs to prove it whether he's then you have US, then you have the world, and and you have Israel. Israel wants one thing. Okay. Israel wants one thing. Bibi wants regime change, regime collapse, all. I don't think Trump is sitting here now saying he wants the same thing as Bibi does. I don't think they share the common uh agenda. Look what Mark Lean is doing. Mark Lean is calling out non-stop Trump negotiating with them. Same with Cruz. Same with others, which, by the way, again, that's their position on what they want. It doesn't seem to be Trump's position. The way they get him back in by creating chaos like this and making the deal to be difficult to be done. But, by the way, Vinnie, a part of it which I kind of side with them is the following. I'm okay like if this goes with moderates running Iran, but if they're going to go and IRGC is still running the whole thing, there is no deal. You can't believe a single word that comes out of their mouth. Not one word that comes out of IRGC's mouth. Nothing.

Yeah.

You can't believe a single thing that they're saying. So.

I agree.

Yeah.

I agree. And but here's my thing. From the beginning of this, did they not realize these people were going to act exactly as these are the people that say death to America?

You don't know how powerful sometimes you don't know what their capabilities are. They, by the way, they showed themselves that they can stand up.

Heck yeah.

No. Well.

What do you mean no?

Well, they showed themselves that they're willing to kill their people and kill all their neighbors.

No, but here's my question, though. We b we The Navy's gone. The Air Force is gone. What are they? What? What? Here's my question. The Navy's gone. They keep bragging that's the bottom of the sea. Air Force, we're they're decimated. How are they still controlling.

Missiles and the regime isn't.

They're willing to hit their neighboring countries? That's what I'm saying. If I'm UAE,

What were they using to Saudi? I'm way more worried than Israel.

Yeah, exactly.

Floaties.

Say, Tom.

You said you said their navy's at the bottom of it. Really? Then what were they using? They were using small fast boats. They still have them small but to plant mines as recently as a week and a half ago. That was a Thursday before Memorial Day, right?

So they still had some capability out there because we sat there and go to Hey, excuse me. Excuse me. You you you with the mine. Yeah.

Let me let me tell you. Right. It's it's it's right. We have You're You're about to enter the TSA express lane to see Allah. Dude, unless you want to just go go and back off here. And by I'm not I'm being ridiculous, but I'm not being I'm correct.

That's what's going on. And now and Israel is coming back and it's like Israel is now playing football in.

One simple question for Pat. Is there any deal any deal that the IRGC, the Ayatollah would honor ahead of the Allah revolution of Islamic uh caliphate? Is there any deal they would honor above that?

I don't trust IC for a second. I don't trust IRGC for a second. And I don't like the fact that Pzishkin is being pushed out and not being involved in decision-making because it tells you the extremists are still having a chokehold on everybody and they're going to use this as a victory against everybody. But I also understand what Bibi's doing. Bibi's Bibi Bibi is going to extend the lifespan of this war by not stopping attacking Hezbollah, Lebanon. Bibi is going to extend that because he doesn't want that deal. And whether that's going to hurt his relationship with Trump or not, who knows behind closed doors, all the stuff that's happening. And you know who knows IRGC better, Trump or Bibi?

Well, Bibi.

Who who's going to know the the DNA of those guys?

Gulf states or America? Gulf states. Gulf states are unified against the IRGC. So, I don't know. I I I I don't know. I would tell you if you really wanted to prolong it, take out Pzkin. If Pzkin is taken out next couple weeks, that's like a real way of saying nope, we're not kill all the moderates. Is I'm not telling you what they're going to say is like if they kill all the moderates and that's what they do. That's their way of saying you're left with them. Do you want to negotiate with them or do you want to get rid of them? I don't you understand what I'm saying or not.

I get it.

Forcing you to a hand to say, "All right, who do you want to do?" And and so now dirty strategy, effective strategy, call it whatever you want, but they're at least their strategy is get rid of all the moderates so you're forced to only deal with IRGC and then you'll learn IRGC is not people like you and I to negotiate with. Then guess guess what the job is, you know. So I don't know. We'll see. We'll see what's going to happen with this uh slippery slope going back and forth. Has Trump tweeted anything yet or no? Has he said anything about it? He typically will move very quickly with stuff like. Shout out to Google for having a Pride. Uh.

Is that really what they're doing?

Yes.

American Pride. That's good. American Pride.

Yeah. No, that's not American Pride.

That's Studio 54.

Studio 54 disco ball for Google.

Has he said anything, Rob, or no?

Uh, no. 10 hours.

10 hours.

Okay.

Well, he's going to say something soon. I guarantee it.

He will say, this was 1:00 this morning. Iran really wants to make a deal, and it'll be a good one for the US and those with us. But the don't the Democrats uh very seemingly unpatriotic Republicans understand that it is much tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate when political hacks keep negatively chirping at levels never seen before over and over again that I should move faster or move slower or go to war not go to war, whatever, just sit back and relax, it'll all work out at the end, it always does that. By the way, that's a very reassuring message by a leader. Anyways, gang, um.

Tomorrow, Rob, do we have some tomorrow or no?

No, sir. Back Wednesday.

But we we are doing an interview tomorrow that possibly could be released Thursday. Yes, sir.

Okay, fantastic. So, we'll be back on Wednesday for business. God bless everybody. Take care. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
