Trump Wants The Panama Canal & Greenland, NYC Subway Fire, Newsom Confronted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 525

Did you ever think you were making it? I feel I'm so excited to take sweet victory. I know this life meant for me. Why would you bet on Goliath when we got that David? Value payment, giving values contagious is world of entrepreneurs. We can't no value the haters. I ain't runnin' homie. Look what I become.

All right, let's see if this is gonna work out or not podcast. Can you guys hear me? Vinny? All right, what episode is this Rob? I'm curious. What number are we on?

525 fantastic. Okay, great. Gang, hope you had a merry, merry Christmas to everybody out there that's tuning in to the crazy people that are watching this day after Christmas to the committed to those of you that are saying, well, everybody else is sleeping. I want to find out what's going on in the world and I want to hang out with these guys.

We appreciate you. We hope you had a great Christmas. We hope Santa came through. We hope you, a representative of Santa came through for your family and friends as well. We had a great time with the family here. There are a lot of things that's going on right now that we're going to talk about on the podcast today. Many different stories. The one story that I'm really excited to go a little bit deeper on is how a president-elect Trump is using Panama Canal

as a form of a negotiation. And I just love that he's going there. We're going to talk about that. There's a lot of history with Panama Canal. And there is an angle, which I believe is the Carnegie Rockefeller angle, which I'll tell you once we get into that topic. There was a tragic event in New York subway where Governor Hookle comes out. She's like, look, it's safe. Use the subway. You have nothing to worry about. It's great. Boom, right afterwards. What happens?

a man who was asked to leave under truck who was led back in under Biden lights a lady on fire and she dies and he I mean it's just a tragedy.

We're not going to play the clip. Some of you guys have probably seen it, but we have to definitely talk about what happened there, which we will. Newsome was confronted under $24 billion missing. You got to see the reaction here. And those of you in California, they did do something good, which is great. There was this two girls that were shoplifting and they're like, wait a minute, we just, what's the big deal?

This is not a felony, and they're in the cop car talking to each other. Did they change the law? Is this not a felony? California changed the law and people who were robbing others are not getting a felony, which is actually a good thing for the state of California. Stephen A. Smith, Stephen A. Smith said he regrets his vote for Kamala.

Okay, and he's saying this while he's negotiating for his contract with Disney and ABC and Bob Iger and I have a point of view. I think I know what's going on. We'll talk about that in a play to clip. Anyways, I may be wrong, but I have an idea on what's going on there. We'll see. Don Lemon is going out there interviewing others about the media and all this stuff. He runs into somebody.

who confronts him and he doesn't like it, but he still posts it and you got to respect it. But the reaction to it, it's such great commentary and such a beautiful moment con on TV. You got to see it. This husband and husband, this gay couple.

who adopt boys. Story comes out. It's such a disturbing story to even talk about that we will go to it later on when we do. You got kids, you can tell them to do ear muffs while we're going through the stories, or maybe even have them listen to it. I would have my older son, 12 and 11 year old, actually listen to it, to see what's going on out there and kind of get their thoughts on it. There was a clip on the 60 minutes with a massage agent talking about what they did with pagers.

And it's an interesting one to definitely watch. Nick Fuentes, we haven't even reacted to it. Apparently somebody knocked on his door after having killed three people and was there to take out Nick, but Nick was doing a stream. We got to talk about this because there's a lot of people that are screaming nowadays around the world. And it's a different season we're living in, but we'll definitely talk about that. Orlando, in Orlando, a drone. Guys, I don't even know if you saw that a drone fell on a kit.

Kid had to go to the hospital and do a heart surgery. You know these drone shows that people do? Drone started raining on people. Rob, if you got the clip, let's get that ready. Later on, we'll get into it. I'm actually curious to know what the thoughts are with these drone shows. We were about to do a drone show at our vault conference event at the Breakers. And last minute, we decided against it. But we'll talk about that Trump's 25% tariff on Canada. Could hurt the auto industry. We'll talk about that.

Teamster Boss sits down with Tucker and tells the time where he's talking to Kamala about whether they're going to get her support, their support or not. And Kamala's answer you have to see what she told the boss, which is interesting, it's revealing. And then there's a massive strike going on right now with Starbucks. 60 stores have already closed down. I think another 300 are going on a strike right now as we speak.

It is a real thing, and an Azerbaijan had a plane that crashed, that had 62 passengers and five crew members on, and it brought up 150 emergency workers, 45 vehicles were involved for the rescue, 38 people at the number as of a few hours ago dead, 29 survived, there's an investigation going on to see what happened there. Those are all the stories. Having said that before we get into the stories,

Okay, so let's get right into it, dang. APD. Yes. Before we get started, you know, I'm gonna say one thing, just I'm in New York, so I don't want people to hear me. Hey, Merry Christmas, guys. Merry Christmas, okay? I don't want, I was wearing this shirt

And people got upset. I said, what do you mean? Merry Christmas. I'm Jewish. What are you talking about? You know, it's happy holidays, sir. Sir, it's happy holidays. Well, it just says who you hang out with a lot. They rolled the rest of us. I don't know why you, but it is what it is. I said 75 kids. We don't judge. We do not judge. We respect your choice on very happy Christmas anyway.

I want to start off with Stephen A. Smith. I want to start off with Stephen A. Smith. I want to start off with Stephen A. Smith. So let's get right into it. Right. Here's Stephen A. Smith talking about his regret for the vote on Kamala Harris. Okay. So we know he says he voted for her. We know we had him on the podcast. We talked about a lot of different things. I asked him if your mother is mother, that's his hero.

who I always, when I'm having dinner with Stephen A, the way his mannerisms are, it's unbelievable how he is at the table, how he is carrying himself around other people so respectful, somebody raised them right, his mother, that he always praises, he even said if his mother was around today, she may have voted conservative if she was around today. But watch what Stephen A is going through right now, Rob, if you got the clip,

of Stephen A. Talking about Kamala, please go ahead and play the clip and let's react to it. Go ahead, Rob. Anybody could dismiss Donald Trump at this particular moment in time, not just because of him, but because of what we've seen the Democrats do. We're not falling for it any longer. The American people aren't falling for it any longer. I voted Democrat and I got to tell you something right now.

I don't like the fact that I did. I don't like what I'm saying. I don't want to hear about, oh, we're about law. We're about a law. Nobody's above the law. Nobody's above the law. But then you go out in your part in your son. He's trying to blame everybody else for it. I don't want to hear about defund the police. I don't want to hear about, you know, what this should be open borders. I don't want to hear this stuff.

And I don't think most of the American people want to hear that. And I'm no longer interested in nor do I believe any of us should be interested in listening to a bunch of fear mongering to tell us who we shouldn't vote for. Why don't you come up with a plan that tells us why we should vote for you?

I mean, listen, I respect Stephen A a lot. I love what he does. I think he's one of the most like he's the he's the guy that you want to listen to when it comes to sports and he's actually very intelligent. I think this shift, I think this shift is every single one of these people that voted because they were all they didn't. They weren't just BS. They knew that they're going to be voting for.

Even though she was, they knew she was full of crap. I think this shift is what we're seeing with change. I think it's what we're seeing with Chris Cuomo. Everybody now is changing their tune. Everybody, you know why? Because the market is telling them to, okay? He's still a Democrat, true and true.

Here's my question. You don't think he knew everything that she was saying was BS? A thousand percent. That's that him hating Trump attitude that made him vote. Remember, it wasn't a vote for Kamala. It was a vote for it ain't Trump. And now every single one of them, just like Stephen A, are changing their tune because they have to. That train, the Democrat Kamala, I love change. That train, they got to jump off of the path or else their careers are going to be affected. And I think

Who's who's he under? He really was ESPN under ABC and Disney ABC and Disney ABC and Disney and who's in charge? Bob Iger Those people those people are going here. Listen, you know what the world the market is saying. It's cool to be like Trump It's cool the dance and that let's get on the Trump train and they're all doing it. I just think of one of them Adam. What do you think?

Look, Stephen A. Smith, who we spent a lot of time with, I'll never forget the dinner that we had a couple months ago, yourself, me, Tom, Chris Cuomo, and Stephen A. Smith, and the conversation was amazing, sports, politics, relationships, dating, election, everything. Stephen A. Smith is one of the most consequential, monumental, eloquent, articulate wordsmiths of our generation, and he's simply more than sports.

He's everything. He's politics and he's dipping his toe into the water, but he's not swimming all the way into the deep end right now. Listen, if you're part of Disney and you're part of that ecosystem of ESPN, we saw what happened with stage steel. If you're the face

of the NBA, especially when it comes to broadcasting, you have to walk a fine line. But much like me who went through this metamorphosis and this sort of evolution of politics, he's going through this. We know how his mother raised him. She would be a true conservative these days. So one thing he said about a week ago, he says, I'm done.

with the Democrats saying that they have the moral high ground. No, no, no, no, no, no. Nobody has the moral high ground. You're gonna tell me that you have the moral high ground and you've been wrong on this, this, this, this, this. I don't think so. Last point.

You said this in the chat, Barack Obama, come on, brah. Has anybody had a worse year than Barack Obama? So we're gonna see what happens with that. By the way, Stephen A. Smith, you know how many people he can get on the phone like this? Hey, Michael Jordan, what's going on? Hey, LeBron James, what's going on? He called out LeBron James the other day. Kendrick Birkin tried to call LeBron James the goat. He said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Michael Jordan's the goat. So I appreciate what Stephen A. Smith does. I appreciate his voice. And given Tom, Tom thoughts.

I think Stephen A, you know, is seeing facts and he's speaking to facts. He sees the facts and he's going down the list of facts. They did this. They did this. So things have been exposed at the election immediately thereafter. Stephen A is seeing that and he's speaking to it. I respect that. Now, how much did he know? Did he have a hunch beforehand? Any reasonable person would have had do I have a more than a hunch about a lot of things going on? But I respect that Stephen A is going on. And what you're seeing is I think he's upset because there's a degree of embarrassment.

They were all asked to use their megaphone. Every one of them. And some of them, like Oprah, were paid to use their megaphone. They cast checks. And now they come out and they're embarrassed. So it wasn't just like I had paid you to endorse me. Now you're being embarrassed later. And I know there's a story we're going to cover later about a labor union where it's just shocking. And now they're like, again, and I could see Stephen, eh, going down his list, he's just like, again, another one, another one, another one. And finally, he says, I've had enough. I regret this.

So, you know, I don't know if he had a hunch, but I think he was, he's definitely embarrassed. And at least he's going down the list with facts. The way Stephen A. does. He goes back. This guy said this. This guy said this. Benny, what are you thinking?

Okay. You don't believe that Stephen A. this entire time. He's not done. He's educated. He's articulate. He knew this whole time. He's not stupid. This shift isn't because he's finally had an epiphany. These people were all either paid time, just like you said, or they actually believed it. And again, Tom, this is just the hate for Trump, and they were willing to vote for somebody that has radical ideas, has done nothing in the political world. You know what I mean, Pat? I think it's all these.

I want to make the brief ask you. I was talking about Oprah being paid. I was not talking about Stephen A. I did not say Stephen A was paid. I said, I have, I'm sure Stephen A. And that's inappropriate stuff to say. Please don't do that either. Adam, you were saying something. I'm going to ask you a question here because I remember, I think,

Correct me if I'm wrong. Cuomo, I'm sorry. Stephen A. Smith says, listen, I go on Hannity. That's my guy. Cuomo's my guy. By the way, he went on Fox News. Mark Levin to make this comment. And he didn't say I voted calmly. He said I voted Democrat.

Right? And I regret my vote. You know, he's in the middle of contract negotiations right now. He would be, what are your thoughts? Where is, where is heaven right now? Here's, here's what I'm thinking about. It's, it's one of two things. Okay. And, and I'm going to give you which one I think it is. It's one.

The contract negotiation isn't going as planned. And he has said, Effort, I'm out. This is how you guys want to treat me. I'm out. I can go make my own money and get my own attention and get my own eyeballs. I think his channel either crossed a million or is about to. This guy's going to get eyeballs. People are going to listen to what Stephen A has to say.

That's one, okay, where the negotiation is not going right and he's not happy. Let me tell you what number two is. Number two is capitalism will force you to go back to common sense. I think capitalism has kicked Bob Eiger's ass in ways no one else physically has in his entire life. Let me explain to you why. You write a book that everybody reads right of a lifetime. You replace yourself with Bob Shapack.

You leave, first co-seal, then he's gonna take over, then you leave, then it screws up. You wouldn't run for president, then you have to come back to save Disney, to save ABC. Valuation goes from 400 billion dollars to 200 billion dollars. Under your reign, nobody likes what you're doing. You keep producing shitty movies, after shitty movies, after shitty movies. Yes, and I went to the theater to watch Sonic 3.

And while we're going out there, the commercial for that one movie without one girl talking about, I don't know what that Disney movie was where the girl was being woke. What was that one movie with?

Snow White is over here and I just like that like you destroyed You destroyed a movie that I will not take my kids to go watch then link it going to me and anyways These are separate topics here, but I think I think if Bob Iger is the man that I think he is you cannot take a business and go from being a low-level employee and

to being a CEO of a 400 billion auto company by Pure Rock. And Bob did go on the right of a lifetime. Bob didn't negotiate with greats with Steve Jobs. Bob did go out by biggest franchises like Star Wars. Bob did go out there and do a bunch of stuff that others couldn't do. When Steve Jobs didn't want to have anything to do with Disney, Bob is the one that brought Steve Jobs to the table. When there were so many people that didn't want to do anything, this guy's probably one of the best.

You know, sit down guys we've had in the last 30 years. So there's so many good that he's done. But I hope capitalism every once in a while, you're going to get your ass handed to no matter how good you're all of us in business. You're going to have some public losses. I think I hope capitalism gets them to realize.

I like that Stephen A is talking the way that he is. I like that Stephen A is challenging people. I like that he's getting eyeballs. The other day Stephen A posted a clip that got 10 million plus views and it was shared all over the place on X. What about if we leverage this?

What about if I pay attention to this? Maybe this is what the American people want. Maybe this is what people are interested in. You know what? What if we bring him in and then we use him to go on the view, to go on everything else, to be irregular? What if we have him to have a multi-talented guy that's doing both ESPN and other shows on ABC? And what if this contract becomes bigger than ABC, bigger than ESPN? It becomes an ABC type of a contract.

That whitens his reach. That whitens the amount of money that he can make. I am hoping it's the second. I'm hoping the rumors about the kind of money Steven is about to get is factual. He gets it and I'm hoping. I'm being hopeful. We went to Disney World three days ago and I'm walking around just to look. Someone froze PVD. The PVD freeze.

Can you hear me? Tom, can you hear me? It looks like Pat. Pat just jumped off. Pat just jumped off. While Pat comes back, I see the screen is loading. I think Pat's up already touched on Bob Chepek. I remember when we had to read the book right of a lifetime about Bob Iger, how the mighty have fallen. But Stephen A. Smith, there's a part of what Pat is saying about Bob Iger that is correct. But back to Stephen A. Smith.

We know this, and this is my opinion. YouTube money ain't ESPN Disney money as far as a contract goes. Tom, you would know the numbers. You know, I think Pat McAfee signed a contract with ESPN. What was that, Tom? I said, yeah, you're right. Yeah, Matt McAfee's signed a contract. I think $120 million bucks. Stephen A. Smith is sort of in that range. Pat, you're back. PBT, you're back.

We can see me or no. So that will be back. Yes. Okay, so you guys still done, but I got caught up. Yeah, we were continuing the conversation. Okay, you're back. Yeah, I was basically saying that.

YouTube's great and all, free market's great and all, but YouTube money, ain't Disney money, ain't ESPN money. Pat McAfee signed a contract, $120 million over five years, whatever it was, I don't know the exact details. Stephen A. Smith, in my opinion, necessary voice. Back to Stephen A. Smith, you know, the market will pay you what you're worth. In your opinion, PVD, what's more important to Stephen A? The money,

or the voice and the freedom, because you know on ESPN, you can't say everything you want to say, right? Yeah, but there comes a time in your life when you are not the number one with a network, not number one within a region, not number one within, you are number one.

There's only one Stephen A, no one's ahead of Stephen A. There's only one Stephen A, okay, who has the depth that he has. If I was representing him, I get to make the asks. That doesn't mean that I have to say yes, but I get to make the asks. And by the way, Stephen A is not old. He's probably in the best shape he's been in 20 years. He lives incredible. Prepared to form the next 10 year run. So leverages on him. Anyways, let's go to the next story here.

There you go with Stephen A. Next one. Rob, do you have the clip of Newsom in California, whichever one you have? If we can go with the $27 billion, $24 billion being confronted to say, hey, what happened to that $24 billion when he's being asked if you have that clip? So this is the governor of California, the great state of California, which he's destroyed.

The last four years under his reign, he's being asked, what happened for this 24 billion dollars that you asked us taxpayers to fix homelessness? What happened to that money? Here's the exchange. Go ahead, Rob. Christian doing enough to determine whether the money that's being plowed into homelessness is being well spent. One of the vaccine issues that was highlighted in the audit was local and each city and county has different strategies and approaches. We try to level set that.

I'm sorry, Governor, I didn't hear responses to either of those questions. Do you acknowledge whether the money that the state isn't doing enough to ensure that the money is being well spent? The audit did not surprise me. The state has advanced unprecedented investments. You're correct. And unprecedented interventions demanding more accountability with state money at the local level.

Yeah. What does that mean, buddy? Tom, what are your thoughts on Newsom and how he's being held accountable with the money and still doesn't give any answers?

Well, guess what? The questions that are being asked publicly of Gavin Newsom are the ones that are being asked privately by people that are leaking out all over the place about Kamala Harris. What you saw in the Kamala Harris campaign, you take a big stack of money, you give it to bureaucrats and politicians, and they spend it on micro programs and stuff, and there's consultants and their skin all over that. We saw it in the Harris campaign.

the billion in the Harris campaign that disappeared, multiply it by 20 over a couple years. That's what's happening in California. There are consultants in that that was lost. There are individual cities that each did things their own way, which was wasteful. The whole point of a state government is to say, we're going to do it this way in every city and you get some efficiencies like that. If you run a business like that, you ran an incredibly successful great nationwide insurances.

You know, with one playbook for sales, you had everybody marching together doing it. That's not how it works. You could have a Republican city in Orange County. They get money. You could have a Democrat city in Santa Barbara. They get money and then they do it themselves. And then they pay their own consultants. And it's waste and it's crap and it's a lack of leadership. And that's what he doesn't want to own up to. Oh, the audit didn't surprise me.

You're in charge, dude. You're the governor. You're the one that could put down these guardrails when there are wildfires in California, Pat, the way it works. The governor declares national disaster area and you have full coordinated efforts. Why? Because there's nothing to hide behind. The flames don't wait. You have to coordinate. You have to show leadership and you have to get the fire out. But when you're doing this thing on homeless, well, we'll do this. We'll do this. We'll do this.

Newsome has presided over something that is 20 times more lost than the Kamala Harris campaign. And what's the difference? Not much.

Well, pal, as you know, I was in California recently for work, for a connecting. And just see, first of all, it doesn't surprise me at all. And I don't know if it was just my computer, but what, and I'm, this is coming from somebody that's always red and tan. If he looks overly red and like, I thought he was like in a satanic costume Halloween, something, I don't know. His face was, you know, and he was playing the part very well, but I was just in LA, Pat, and I mean, the homeless,

situation, just driving around. I was like, oh my God, I'm Andrew. I've been here in Florida for three years. It's gotten insane. And it's like, at what point are the people going to stay enough is enough and stop putting these type of people in power? Because at the end of the day, I'm going to say, I don't feel bad for you. If you keep voting for these people because they

I'm a Democrat, and I just, you know, I have to go Democrat. It's on you guys as well, because people we keep hearing the thing, Tom, just taxpayer money, taxpayer money. No, same what it is. It's your money, California. It's your money. And where's it going? Nothing is getting done. The streets are horrible. Homelessness is out of control. Crime is up. But they keep pretending. It's like, as long as you're not, you know, just keep voting for us. They keep giving all these promises, and nothing happens. And it doesn't surprise me when it comes to Gavin Newsom, the snake and the grass that he is.

Oh, it's not their money, Vinny. It's our money. It's the people of the United States and the future debt of the United States because California received federal money on top of that for the homeless problem because on one hand they opened the door. They talked sanctuary city sanctuary state, but then they asked the federal government to help pay for it. It's the same thing that was happening in New York and Eric Adams finally called it out and said, look, I don't want anymore. We have to put it to a stop that was after he was given out ATM cards paid for by the American people, not the New York people.

You know, while you're talking, Vinny, I went on, Rob, I'm going to send this to you if you can pull this up. I went on California homeless auditor. It's auditor.California.gov. If you can pull up that link and go to, because what I want to know is this money that you ask from us that we paid for,

Have you been able to slow down homelessness in the state of California? Because you were able to do it for G when he came to San Francisco and cleared up the speed. So if you could do that, could you have cleaned it up? Rob, if you can't just pull up this chart while I'm speaking to show it to the audience. And if you go to that page and go to the middle of it, you'll see Figure 1 that says California's population

of people experiencing homelessness has increased since 2013. Now, when did Newsom become the governor of the state of California? What year? So, governor Newsom, when did you become, oh, keep going lower, keep going lower, keep going lower, where it says figure one, keep going lower, you'll see it right now, it's coming up. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep right there. Moment a little bit of good.

Look at that. California's population of homelessness from 2013, from 2013 to 2015, it went down. So he's been a governor since when I don't even know. So 18, right? So prior to that, it went down.

from 2013 to 2015, so whoever was the governor was able to decrease it 3,000 people during that two-year period, then it goes up in 17 and in 18 he comes in and it goes up from 131,000 to 181,000 even after getting the money. By the way, when did they get that money for, when did they get the money from homeless California?

homelessness, $24 billion. When was it given? When did they get that money right? Tom, do you remember what year it was? California has spent about $24 billion on homelessness since 2019.

Audit finds California spent $24 billion on homelessness in five years and didn't consistently track outcomes. This is a CBS story that I pulled up from April 9th, Rob, if you can pull this up. So they got the money from taxpayers. So imagine, like, it's kind of like this.

You're starting a business. We raise money. You give us $24 billion. And every month, if you, the taxpayers, gave us $24 billion, what report do you want from us on a monthly basis? If you gave the $24 billion for homelessness, what question will you, the investors in us, say, what report do you want on a monthly basis? What's the most basic number you want to hear from us?

Homelessness going on or homelessness going on all you care about and you mean to tell me in this article CBS says at the top that the article says was it says

Even though they got the money, nobody was tracking the outcome, $24 billion. And what does it say, California's about 24, but didn't consistently track whether the huge outlay of public money actually improved the situation according to the state. Audit released Thursday with law, making shift tens of orders on the streets down in Detroit, California. Homeless has become one of the most frustrating, the interestable issues in the country's most popular state. And estimated 171,000 people are homeless in California, which amounts to roughly 30% of all homeless people in the US.

30% of all homeless people in the U.S. are in the state of California under his watch, despite his roughly billions of dollars spent on more than 30 homeless and housing programs during his tenure. 2018, which he came into 2023, California.

California doesn't have reliable data needed to fully understand why the PROM didn't improve. In many cities, according to the state auditor's report, this report includes that the state must do more to assess the cost effectiveness of its homelessness problem. The audit analyzed five programs that received the combined $13.7 billion on funding. It determined that only two of them are likely cost effective, including one that converts hotels and motel rooms into housing and another that provides this is ridiculous. By the way,

30% of all homeless in the state of California. California population is what? 30 what million? What's California? Yeah, I just actually went right there with this. California population is about 40. Sorry, 30. 9 million. 30 million is 40 million is 11% yet 30% almost 10%. So 3x.

Yeah, that's an F. What you give Newsom is a big F. By the way, the reason why this matters is because 2028, 2027, he is running for president. 100% he has two years to clean up this resume before that happens. Now, while we're doing this,

Let's also give California some credit for making an adjustment on a crime. Rob, here's the state of California. And Adam, I'm going to come to you right after this. Here's the state of California. In the state of California, what happens? They have a story of two girls that are shoplifting thinking it's not a big deal. Rob, I don't know what page it's on, but I think you have the video.

They're shoplifting. While they're shoplifting, they find out, wait a minute, why are we getting a felony? Why are we getting a felony? Oh, you're getting a felony because California changed laws. What do you mean they changed laws? Rob, can you put this clip on what happens in California that now it's a felony if you steal something over a thousand dollars? If you got the clip, please go in and play it. So I'm gonna walk all over you. It's a felony?

This is their comedy skit. And this is Orange Comedy. That's why I should tell me this is. That's where I went to jail last year and got on probation for a year for still out of tour.

Music, we gotta be aware of that. So Rob, can you tell us what happened there with the California story? Maybe give us a quick synopsis of what's going on there so the audience knows.

Those two women were filmed walking through several different Target stores, Wal-Mart's. I believe it was three or four different stores in which they stole close to $1,000 worth of merchandise. That is after they got arrested for stealing from the last store, they're in the cop car and the cops tell them, hey, this is now a felony due to the passage of a law. I'll have to find the law and look right now.

Okay, so there's another clip I saw that a guy who gets caught shoplifting while he's getting caught shoplifting, he comes back to court, he kept going through it because he's doing it. Then when he comes back to court, he realized the laws have changed and it's now a felon who's like, wait a minute, the previous six times I didn't get a felony, now I'm getting a felony? What happened over here? Adam, your thoughts on this?

Yeah, there's so much showing back here right here. I remember Dave Chappelle did his kit one time and it was a guy basically walking to the street and a guy pops out. He's like, oh, don't do that now. That'll get you five to ten.

Essentially, it's like, oh, so you're a lawyer now? These two women in the back of the cop car, this is how change happens. When two women are in the back of a cop car being like, I told you Orange County don't play. I told you that we shouldn't steal. I told you that this is not a good idea. What are the chances that they knew the law that anything below $1,000 you cannot be arrested? What are the chances? I would say very high. No PVD, you say this all the time. If California and Texas

had a baby, it'd be Florida. The one thing that comes to mind as out of touch, shout out to Hall of Notes, Gavin Newsom, Tanned Bronze, just probably on vacation talking about, oh my God, we lost how much we lose our home as this? One?

to $1 billion, $5 billion, $24 billion, and the number hasn't gone down. The one thing that comes to mind is the debate between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis. When Ron DeSantis busted out a freaking poop map,

to basically highlight the shit show that is California. Sorry for my curse and whether it's the homelessness, the cost of living, the regulation, the crime. I remember PPD, you did a case example. Disney, Disneyland in California versus Disney World in Florida. Wow, wow, we, wow, wow. What an absolute stark example of the ridiculous this that is going on in California and the effectiveness that is going on in Florida.

Let me show you this. Check this out. I just send this to Rob Rob. Could you zoom in a little bit, please, so I can read this to them? All right. So California store prices, items go a little bit about California store items at 951. So shoplifters will be arrested or doing so can be charged with grand theft. So look what it says. If you look at it closely, warning all items in the store

All items in the store are marked at 951 non-criminal discount applied at checkout for all paying customers only. The state of California will prosecute all shoplifters under the California Penal Code of 487 PC. Did you understand what just happened here? They priced everything at 951 dollars.

except when you come to the counter, getting ready to pay, they give a discount to non-criminal discount. That is so, think about what the hell is going on in California that this is how creative you have to get. So everybody goes to feel, Rob, if you can now play the other clip that was posted by Mario in the fall, not the one that we played with the music in it, this one here will tell you a little bit more about the story of those two young girls who are making a mistake. Go ahead and play the clip, Rob.

But did you get the clip? I think I texted it too.

Rob, while you're getting it, Vinny, those dinosaurs that escaped out of those eggshells behind you. I'm pretty like, I didn't want to say anything because I'm pretty sure because I'm not reading chat at all. I never read the chat, but I'm actually, they don't hear me right now, but they have hatched. All these are, you know, baby dinosaur eggs that have hatched and they're actually right. They're in, they're in this room watching. But as he's searching for it, I think this is it. There we go. Let him play the clip.

Oh, I got a rod. This all says the music. Yeah. They playing this one of these days, these boots. So, you know, let's fix 48. Brace in in casual. They just walk right out.

And then this is what they're coming back to the same girls stealing more 237. Oh, and they're getting this whole thing on camera and they're just walking out. And they went from ultra makeup to target and they have the orange bags that they took from ultra makeup. Oh, so it's, it's tracking their entire journey. Rob, let it keep playing Rob, unless if it's style. Okay, there you go. So then more cameras catching what they're doing.

Rob, is there sound or no? Does that music still play? Wow, so now they're realizing it's a felony.

Not it. If you want, I have the background on the law. Prop 36 went before the voters. And the voters California, 68.4% passed Prop 36. And here's what happened. The 950 is an important number. Because now they also said 950 could be aggregate. It used to be that if an item was under 1,000. Now it's 950 is an aggregate. So when those girls stole that stuff from Target,

And from ultra, the cumulative total was over 950. And now you're arrested for a felony and the larger girl that was on the right hand side in the back of the police car, she knew it was speaking to the somewhat shorter, smaller girl saying, hey, man, it's a felony.

voters check this out 10.3 million Californians voted yes on Prop 36 make it a felony make it aggregate 4.7 million highly concentrated and hang on San Francisco.

Oakland Alameda and Los Angeles counties. Those are people that vote, no, no, no, we don't want this law. I don't want this law. But the people have spoken path. This went before the people. They voted Prop 36 and it got passed. And now the teeth of the bill, there it is. Yep. There you go. So it's not just drug. It was cumulative shoplifting.

I freaking love that. I love that. By the way, leave it to business owners to come up with a creative way to protect their business from losses. Of course, they're going to put every item in the stores worth $951. I'm supposed to put a bunch of people's salaries. I can't stay in business if people keep stealing from me and the government doesn't protect me. And you take the sides of the people that are stealing from me. That doesn't make any sense for business. Why would anybody want to start a business in the state of California if you're going to protect

Thieves over the business owner that creates jobs.

How does that make any sense? Vinny, the final thoughts on the book of the next school. Yeah, and I can have a short clip, P.B.D., that I won't rob the queue up of how entitled these fees are. It's a couple of girls at CVS leaving. The guy locks the door, and she threatens to call the police on him for not letting her steal. Rob, whenever you have a playbook, I'm dead. Play this clip. Play this clip with them getting caught, but there's no music. Play this with the volume on.

What's this? Open the door. Look at how funny she is. Watch. Put that down. This is security. What did I put over there? No. He says to me, you don't have the right to test me here. Don't got O'laki? Don't look easily. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there. Look, O'laki's there

Look, okay, and that's, okay, so, and that, here's what it is. Like, am I the only one that's losing my mind that we have to make crime, like something illegal, actually illegal again? I don't get it. You're stealing, which is a crime, you should go to jail. There has to be a monetary limit to what you're still, it's like the border. When we have illegal immigration and these illegals that we're gonna get to them are coming in.

You know what I mean, while you're saying this, here's my question. To anybody that's watching that, the behavior you just witnessed right now with those young girls, to anybody that's a parent, if your younger daughter did that to you, what happens to your blood?

If your younger daughter takes your makeup out of your bag, you know the relationship between a mom and a daughter, when a daughter always takes the makeup out and what happens to mom, don't touch my makeup. How do you feel when your daughter touches your makeup and she takes your makeup out of your bag? I'm curious.

Now listen, if your son takes your makeup out of your back, it's a different feeling, but the daughter takes your makeup out of your back. It's a different feeling, but how do you feel about it? How do you feel about it? They entitled mom, leave me alone, mom. You can't do anything. I'm just putting a little bit of makeup on. What's wrong with you? How do you think these guys feel when somebody's robbing and a guy can't even call the cops on them. They're going to call the cops on them. This is why, this is why Stephen A. Smith sounded the way she did.

This is why Elon Musk was a former Democrat left the party. This is why Joe Rogan was a former Democrat left the party. This is why Tulsi Gabbard left the party. This is why Bobby Kennedy endorsed Trump. This is why Joe Manchin, a story just came out of Rob. I don't know what page it's on. A story comes out with Joe Manchin saying the fact that I have it somewhere in here. Joe Manchin, right, says Warren's Democratic Party is so is toxic

as he steps down from the U.S. Senate. Wait, what? Joe Manchin says what? Joe Manchin says the Democratic Party is so toxic that he is stepping down. Why? Because bad policies have consequences. This is a story from the Guardian.

Stepping on after 15 years as the U.S. Senate criticized the Democratic Party as toxic and accused progressiveness of dictating how Americans should live, he argued the party had shifted from focusing on issues like good job, good pay to sensitive social issues, including LGBTQ rights on Kamala Harris's right and laws to Donald Trump. He said, if you try to be somebody, you're not, it's hard and at it.

Every red-blooded American should want your president to succeed. Manchin called for a centrist third party, saying the centrist moderate both decides who's going to be the president of the United States. And when they get here, they don't govern that way. If the senator had a voice and had a party, that would be something. He criticized both Democrats and Republicans as two extreme stating Democrats want to ban guns, while Republicans say let anybody have anything they want. That's Joe Manchin for you.

So that's another person you lost. This guy was a guy that was a reasonable guy. This guy was a guy that had good ideas. Now you lost him as well. Bad policies, they're experiencing a massive exodus. Tom. Bye bye.

Consequences, you said there were consequences. What we don't see is regular citizens are suffering consequences too. In San Francisco, on in January of 2022, there were 21 CBSes. We just saw the video. That was a CBS pharmacy just getting blatantly ripped off.

January 2024, they were down to 12 CVS's in San Francisco, and I believe right now they are down to nine. There are nine CVS's in the city of San Francisco, and most of those are in the more wealthy areas, such as the Marina district.

Um, and so the consequences also on the people. So when the government thinks that they're winning votes from these people, they're really screwing other people like older people and folks that are living in areas that need a CVS there so they can get services. And Joe Manchin is right. The, the rebel policies, the rebel policies that he's talking about.

He says, isn't the Democrat party you recognize? You're not helping the people when there it is. CVS makes another SF store. When you run a MUC, the consequences are everybody loses. It's not just mentioned, it's what we just saw. Regular people now can't have less convenience getting those CVS to go get the basic things that they need. Pat, I know we want to get up the topic, Pat, but guys, you guys have a question. What made

California make that decision. What was it? Post George Floyd riots, everything deep from the police. Was this a tactic to get the black photo? I don't know. What was the shift to be like, hey, if anybody's stealing, if anybody's doing this, if you're riding in the street, if you're burning down business, it's okay. These are peaceful protests. What was that shift, Tom? When did that happen? Because I have a feeling that it was during that.

You're asking a great question. It's the word decriminalization. They talk about decriminalize marijuana, decriminalize possession of a certain amount of marijuana. Keep the penalties for distribution. There's a slippery slope when you start decriminalizing, then they say, well, we're all clogged up with all these $500 shoplifting things and businesses have insurance. Remember, these are liberal far left Democrats talking.

So maybe we should be criminalized shoplifting. We'll make it under $1,000. That's what they did. That's what happened. The number of break-ins, you can go Google it and say break-ins for auto theft break-ins, people stealing backpacks. That backpack had a basic laptop that was worth less than $1,000. They were selling it at pawn shops for $200, making $200 on that. But it was a non-criminalized offense because what they stole was worth less than $1,000. So guess what? Crime went up.

actually. And the number of shoplifting cases went down. So what happened to society? Society lost. So were the courts less crowded with $500 shoplifting? Yes. But guess what happened? You enabled more crime. There it is. Vehicle theft reports. And it's also vehicle break-ins. Robert was vehicle break-ins in San Francisco that people would leave their cars on lock with a note on the door that said,

Nothing in the truck, nothing in the seats. You would actually leave your car as clean as a rental car, if you know what I mean? And not lock it so that they wouldn't break the window and you wouldn't have to have your window replaced, but you left nothing in there that they could take, not even quarters sitting in the ashtray, nothing.

So that's what happened. It's the word decriminalization, which in the mind of the liberal far-left Democrats is these people are stealing to survive and they accept it. They accept it as a redistribution of wealth. That's how the Democrats think about the criminalism. One question, no one touched on beauty. I have one quick one, Adam, you got three seconds.

Well, look, Joe Manchin, you know I've been talking and singing his praises for over five years now, centrist, moderate, someone with common sense, you know, the common phrase. I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left me. But let me say the most important thing that we've probably said in this entire conversation, and I'm going to say it,

What's the common theme that's going on in California? It's not just Californians. It's not just women. It is specifically black women. And I love my black brothers and sisters out there. But let me say this, PBD, how many times have we discussed the biggest problem in America, which is the lack of a father in a home? Who's leading the league with single mothers? What is African Americans? Okay. In America, 25% of all homes

are born to unwed mothers. I think we're leading the league in single parents. The stats are showing that the world, 7% the world with single parents, 25% in America. So then you have a situation where the

The stats show whites, 30% I believe, are born out of wedlock. The national average is 40%. Latinos, my Hispanic friends, 53%. My black and African American friends, 72%. If we want to improve what's going on here in America, we need to bring the father back into the home.

Okay? It is 10 times more likely to be incarcerated, 20 times more likely to have violence, whether it's dropping out of school, whether it's teen pregnancy, whether it's lack of basic common sense, black people, Latinos, even the white people, bring the father back to the home.

I thought for a second, you were going to make a point about BBWs. I'm like, what? I fully, I fully, big girls need love too brother. Because I thought that was like your, but anyways, okay, let's go to the next part. You touched on this before.

Many times and I fully agree and you know, we got work to do is the hero making machine who we turn into heroes the issue But let's let's go to this here Panama Canal, okay out of nowhere you hear the president Talk about we got to take Panama Canal back what?

did this lazy negotiation that was done in 1977, I believe, with Jimmy Carter, lazy negotiation. And most people don't even know the history of Panama Canal. Rob, if you have the clip of the president talking about Panama Canal, I'd love to get into it. And by the way, for some of you that are not following this thing closely, let me start off by reading a part of it and it will get right into it. Trump is teasing you at the expansion into Panama, Greenland in Canada,

His ideas, calling ownership of Greenland an absolute necessity for purposes of national security and freedom throughout the world. Greenland Prime Minister, Newt Egett, firmly responded, Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and we will never be for sale. While Danish Prime Minister, Meti Fredrickson reaffirmed earlier comments at the proposal was absurd. Trump also teasing annex in Canada.

on social media, and then last but not least, he suggested retaking control the Panama Canal, calling it a vital national asset and urging Panama to lower fees on American ships. He warned that the officials of Panama, please be guided accordingly. Panama's President Jose Raúl Molino rejected the idea stating every square meter

of the Panama Canal and its adjacent area belongs to Panama and will continue to and described Trump's comments as a manifestation of gross ignorance of history. Rob, play the clip.

This would be ripped off at the Panama Canal like we're being ripped off everywhere else. The fees being charged by Panama are ridiculous, highly unfair, especially knowing the extraordinary generosity that has been bestowed to Panama. If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving, are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America.

In full, quickly and without question. I'm not going to stand for it.

Okay, while you're going through this, guys, while he's saying this, I did a video on Panama Canal, Rob, if you go YouTube type in Panama Canal, but David breaking down the whole thing. But here's five things you need to know about Panama Canal. The threats, Trump's threats to retake Panama Canal, this is from the Hill. Number one, the Torrijos Carter Treaty. Trump criticized the 77 treaty, signed by President Carter, that transferred the canal to Panama, calling it

A ideal, a deal where Carter foolishly gave it away for one dollar. And Panamanian President Jose Raoul Molino countered the sovereignty and independence of our country are not negotiable, adding that the canal rates are fair and based on market conditions. That's one too.

Flare up with an ally. Trump's threats to retake Panama Canal, strain ties with Panama. A U.S. ally, Molino declared every square meter we read that three. Panama's management of the canal, Trump called the canals, turn over a magnanimous gesture, implied undue Chinese influence. The canal has no control, direct or indirect from China, Molino says. For an eye for unwinding deals and treaties,

And then last but not least five, part of a broader territorial fixation of him talking about this. By the way, I have a whole thing I want to get into with this, but Tom, I'll go to you first. So any Carter.

was trying to make the United States look less like an imperial power. What does imperial mean? It's like the US and Puerto Rico. It's like the French in Algiers and Morocco, where the large established countries had established beachheads and influence over foreign countries.

And Carter was on this human rights campaign, which largely failed, good heart and the right position, but he didn't get it done. He didn't want us to look so imperial when he thought, wow, one of the ways we can do this, you've given Panama the canal back. But we have to remember what happened. In the name of Western trade, the United States built that canal.

The US built it and 75 was Vietnam a terrible war and I believe the number is 55 to 57,000 men died in Vietnam. 75% of that number died building the Panama Canal.

malaria, disease, things we didn't have really our arms around preparing these workers for down there in these tropical regions and disease went around and it was terrible. So it was I think it was south of 40,000 but more than 35,000 people died there. So we're looking at it. We built this to facilitate trade. One of the things that Carter did was Panama asked him history and no one wants to talk about this in mainstream media. They said,

Who's going to help defend it? Because we were all worried about communism and militarized communism in Central America at the time. We were worried about it. Reagan would come in and get after it in Central America on the communist. We were worried about communists closing the canal to international trade. So we said, hey, part of giving it back to you for a dollar, we did the Neutrality Act. The canal will be neutral, but who will be the cops? And who will pay for the cops?

We paid for the cops. We said we're Spanish. Love your Spanish. We will pay for the cops. We will be the cops. We will do military, we'll do security. We will not allow incursions, insurgencies. We will defend the canal. So we took on the full expense of it. When Panama in the 90s couldn't afford certain maintenance on these things. They're called locks. For the ships go in, they raise the water and they close these things called locks. Guess who paid for that?

Head, we appropriated. So we have been maintaining. We built it. We've been doing maintenance. We've been protecting it with our military guys against this. And so now what Trump is saying, the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about because it's bad orange man all over again. He's saying, we're going to take it back.

when we're going to protect it from China or anybody else that wants to influence and potentially close it or influence it. And by the way, it's 40 years behind in certain repairs, 40 fricking years. So it also needs needs work so it keeps and stays open.

So, you know, everybody wants to say, oh, Trump's doing this and that. No, he's actually trying to protect the business interests of many people, all the Caribbean nations that are doing business of import, export, they get it through there, food, all kinds of stuff go there. So everybody wants to jump on Trump for this, but the truth is much deeper.

Let me tell you this. This has actually become my top five things he's working on. Stop it. Long term. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you why. And I'm going to break it down for you. Show you understand what is going on here. And I think it's brilliant.

So if you think about in the 1600s, they said it'd be great. Rob, if you can show the map, just show the world map of US and South Central America. If you can show that, and we can look at Panama for people to realize the magnitude of this and why this has to do with China, it is so important.

It is so important. I've been to Panama and I've watched the canal because when you go there, I stayed at the hard rock, which is an hour away from the canal. If you zoom in, zoom in, go actually go to Panama map, type in Panama map at the top, just Panama country map. Yeah, zoom in, zoom in right there if you can go there. You can have, okay, so check this out. Panama canal.

right there, zoom in, that's the canal that they built, okay? If you don't, if you can zoom out on the map, if you can't go through there, okay, now if you can go to the Central America map, go to Central America map, watch this year. Go on the second one, yeah, that's, you know what, if you can go back a little bit, Rob?

Go back a little bit. Actually, just go to the world map. Just go to the world map if you can have that. Because it's so important to understand the power of this. The one on the left. Yeah. And click on it again. The map gets zoomed in even more. Yeah. So if you look at that, if you don't write the rob, you had it. Just go to that one to pink one. Yeah. If you can't go.

through the Panama Canal, you have to go, like imagine if you're coming from New York, go to New York on the map, top right pink, if you're coming from New York and there is no Panama Canal, you have to go all the way around the green to get to LA. Look at that.

all the way around the ground. And by the way, just to kind of give you guys some numbers on what that means. With the canal, it's only 4,970 miles from New York to LA. Without the canal, it's almost 13,000 miles, okay? With the canal, it's 12 to 14 days. Without the canal, it's 30 to 35 days.

And then when you look at dollar amount with it, it's only $262,000 of fuel. Without it, it's $705,000 of fuel. You can take the map out at this point. So then if you go from China to New York, China,

to come over here because they're going the other way. So think China has to go the other way from California come all the way down to go to New York, exactly. China to New York with the canal 12,000 miles without the canal 19,000 miles. So without the canal takes 45 days sometimes with the canal, it takes roughly 20, 25 to 30 days.

So you mean to tell me this idea of Panama Canal was started in the 1600s? A French company started building this in the 1880s. They ran out of money and they kind of paused it. Then in 1904, do you know who was president in 1904? One of the greatest presidents we've ever had. His name is Teddy Roosevelt, who is president, comes to you.

The Panama Canal. Do you know how many people died building a Panama Canal? 27,000 people. Because to build a Panama Canal, you little to build bumps. They build, they blew things up and people were dying. They were dying from starvation. They were dying from sickness. They were dying from malaria. They were dying from yellow fever.

They're dying, 27, 609 people died, building a Panama Canal, U.S. builds it in how long? 10 years. And who becomes president in 1915? The face of the progressive party, which is who? Woodrow Wilson becomes the president.

It gets done because of Teddy Roosevelt in 10 years, who benefits from it, the world. Then who goes, who is known as a very noble, nice kind man, good husband, good father, father, but a shitty negotiator and a president, a guy named Jimmy Carter, goes and gives it up for what? We didn't have to give that up. And by the way, do you know why I doubled down on Trump picking up the Panama Canal? You know why I doubled down on it? It is the only way

we can prevent China from having a chokehold on U.S. long term. It is the only way, by the way, too, right now they need funding to finish up the construction because there's a lot of challenges right now with the Panama Canal that people are not even talking about, where ships are getting stuck, the speed, all these things that are going through. They need, I think, $5.2 billion of funding. Guess who can help you with that? The U.S. camp. I hope and pray and encourage

for them to double down on this. I think this is an old school move of when Andrew Carnegie did not respect John D. Rockefeller, and John D. Rockefeller said, I'm sorry, what does Carnegie do? Carnegie steal? You know what we're gonna do? Don't you need to move that steal? Yeah, don't worry. I have the railroads. Go ahead and move your steal. Go ahead.

Move your steel. You're going to need my railroads. I hope and pray that the U.S. left, right, and center politically get behind this idea because this benefits Americans long-term, no matter if you're a Republican Democrat or an independent. Everybody should get behind the idea of Panama Canal that Trump is negotiating on. Vinnie, I'll go to your next thoughts.

I mean, Pat, can we ask you? I didn't know that I wasn't like first in the canal, but just from what you're saying, any rational person left, right, center, it doesn't matter. That just makes sense, okay? We have to get back to doing business, and Trump is obviously the fricking guy to do it. And speaking to Trump, Pat, if you don't mind, I don't know if people read Donald Trump's Christmas tweet, but I'll read it Pat. He talks about the canal in the beginning, and then Canada, and then goes a little bit to the left. He goes,

Merry Christmas to all, including the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly but illegally operating the Panama Canal, where we lost almost 30,000 people in this building 110 years ago, always making certain that the United States puts in billions of dollars to repair money, but have absolutely nothing to say about anything. Also, Governor Justin Trudeau of Canada, whose citizens' taxes are far too high, but if Canada wants to become our 51st state, their taxes have become by more than 60%

their business would be immediately double in size, and there would be a military protracted, like no other country anywhere in the world. Likewise, the people of Greenland, which is needed by the United States for national security purposes, will want the U.S. to be there, and we will. And then he goes on to staying married, persists to the radical left, and all that stuff. But I think he's making a pitch, and I think the Canada thing is hilarious, but I'm all for the Panama-Nal situation. I think it's a great answer. You want to jump in and say something, Tom?

Yeah, you know what, during COVID, remember we heard that the Somalis and the Houthis were operating right there in a little area, and Adam's nodding, you know, it's exactly where I'm going here with a pronounce it wrong. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djibouti. Djib

We make jokes about how it's pronounced, but that is the pinch point where container ships go up there to go through the other canal that enabled low-cost transport, the Suez Canal. The Panama and the Suez Canal are the two most critical, see the pinch point right there? That's where the

hoothey rebels and the and enabled and the Somali enabled rebels were there and if you expand that go right up there go up north of that a little bit you are going to find the sues canal see it widens up there but you see that pinch point they patrol down there and great problems down there and by the way

That led to huge inflation because if you zoom out, it's these are called the Cape routes. What Pat was talking about is the Cape route around Cape Horn, which is Tera del Fuego south of Chile. And there's also the other Cape route known as Cape of Good Hope, which is in South Africa.

So the shipping containers have to go there. These two canals are critical. We didn't even know. We were really talking about the same political dynamic for the Panama Canal. We were talking about the Suez Canal when at the end of COVID, we had all the rebels there and the container ships couldn't get through. And people were saying that it was inflationary to the people of Europe, just trying to get basic goods because they had that extra shipping cost line on them.

So the canals in modern world, these two canals are critical also to inflation because it keeps shipping costs down for people. So everybody wants to talk about Trump being imperialist. Guess what? He's also trying to keep shipping costs and keep that part of inflation for the consumer. Yeah.

Yeah, the moment he said, Djibouti, I got offended, I logged off, but I'm back. I really like what you just said right there, Tom, when you start talking about it. Yeah, I like it. Who did they turn to to help them knock down the Somali pirates? I am not interested.

in a Djibouti tournament. I'm not turning into anybody, Tom. I'm married. I'm not interested in Djibouti. But Adam, please, I'm trying to stay civil here. So what is up to be the top? And we were helping the world and the Sioux as they open. Tom, we're trying to get to Adam and Djibouti. You and Djibouti's, Tom.

Well, you know, I know you say don't repeat things have already said, but I'm gonna have to double down on that. Straight up, because what we learned during COVID is the supply chain is a massive, massive deal. And I'm glad that you kind of gave some context.

So why what Trump is talking about is so important? Because to me, this sounded like almost like, what is this? Is this a ramblings of a crazy person? Or is he crazy like a fox? Because you said this is one of your top five issues that I'm processing what you said, PBD. Because if you go according to polling in the United States, citizens are thinking border, immigration, cost of living, inflation.

crime, abortion, health care, wars. I didn't have the Panama Canal on my bingo card. This was not something that Trump campaigned about, but ah, ah, ah, ah. If it comes down to the supply trade and fair trade and free trade and China and Djibouti, it's starting to make a lot more sense now. So PPD, let me ask you a question.

These three things that he's talking about, we're gonna make Canada the 51st state. Oh my God, it's gonna make Canada great again. All right, Greenland, where the hell did this come from? We talked about it, I believe in 2019. You tried to buy Greenland, they said they're not for sale. And this Panama Canal thing, which you've touched on before, if you can lay out likely, somewhat likely, least likely of those three things, where would you put it?

Panama Canal by in Greenland and having Canada be the 51st state. What would you say, PBD? Exactly in the order you put it. Yeah, I thought so. Panama, Greenland, Canada. And by the way, I think the rest of the world outside of bricks should support US-only Panama Canal.

Tell us in the rest of the world. It's going to benefit. Look, if right now, whose ideas and method of running the world do you trust? China or U.S.? You are obvious. Both of them are being criticized. But at least we, when we argue, we argue publicly.

Everybody knows our drama. Nobody knows China's drama. We're not in China. YouTube's not in China. Facebook's not in China. There's no free press in China. We don't know what the hell they're doing in China. Everybody knows our drama. Imagine a member of Truman's show with the one Canadian, whatever. What? The Truman's show? Guess what? That show is about showing someone's personal life. US is the Truman's show. Everybody sees our drama.

So who would you rather have control Panama Canal? Us right now. Imagine if Panama Canal, do you not think Trump behind closed doors is thinking that China is planning on funding Panama Canal to take control? By the way, you ask, if China ends up taking control of Panama, you're screwed.

Let me say this again to you. If China takes control of Panama, canal, you are screwed. Are you watching? Everybody in the U.S. is screwed if China takes control of Panama Canal. This is not even a joke because imagine, so now play the court of terrorists. Hey, John, if you do this,

We're going to put tariffs on you. Oh, go ahead. If you do that, I'm shutting down any exports from Panama to U.S. for the next 30 days. Go ahead and put the tariffs on the U.S. You lose your tariff card. The only way your tariff card has power is if U.S. owns Panama. I think we need to find a way to get this thing done. I talked about this a little over a year and a half ago. I absolutely love this idea, but let's get to the next story here.

Let's get to the next story here. So, New York subway women burned to death by a Sebastian Zapata. Rob, if we have that, I don't know if I even want to play the clip. I don't want to play clip.

But what we could do, Rob, is I'm going to go to the story. I'm going to read it. If he can show a picture of it, Rob, that'd be great. If we even have just a picture to show what happened there. So Sebastian Zabata, 33-year-old migrant from Guatemala, was charged with first and second-degree murder and first-degree arson for allegedly setting a woman on fire abroad, a stationary F train at the Coney Island, Stilwell Avenue, Subway, Station in Brooklyn.

Surveillance footage showed Zapata calmly approaching the woman who may have been sleeping, setting her on fire with New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch describing the act as one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being. Zapetta previously deported by US immigration and customs enforcement ICE on June 7, 2018 under Trump.

after illegally crossing into Arizona, re-entered the U.S. on an unknown day, according to ICE spokesperson,

According to ICE spokesperson, Marie Ferguson, after is arrested by the NYP, the ICE plans to issue an immigration detainer at the location where he is being held. This happens, Rob, after Governor Hochl, if you have that clip, Rob, where she's walking around the, what do you call it, the subway, you're saying you have nothing about, Vinnie, I'm about to come to you, Rob, if you can play that clip with Governor Hochl, and if Vinnie, I'm coming to you, Rob, if you got the clip, go ahead and play the clip.

Oh, you don't have the clip because she's actually walking around. I think I stepped up to you to Robbie. There's a clip of her. Hold on. Yeah, Robbie, you can just go to actually you could find it right there.

just put your job over and my job. Why? Okay. Why he's looking for it? You're going to see in the video that she's walking with security on guard. It's all a show because that 340

She says it. Think about the timing. At 3.40, she goes, some ways are getting much safer. And at 5.36, this woman is burned alive by this freaking illegal, freaking demon. And the sad reality, Pat, I'm going to get into it, is that people were there. And someone might have stopped this girl from getting lit on firewatch, who was sleeping probably from working her ass off all day. But nobody wants to help Pat.

Nobody wants to help because they're going to be scared that they're going to be arrested. And and just to get what if they kill this guy back and if they shot him or whatever, they're going to be labeled a racist and they're going to be dragged over all over media and be seen as as like racist and horrible. But besides this fact, I think this guy deserves the death penalty because if not, this illegal who doesn't belong in the country is going to get tax dollars or tax dollars to keep him alive for the rest of his life. And again,

And I know I'm gonna sound like a broken record pack, but at this point, I don't care because you know who I am and you know who my enemy is. Alejandro Mayorkas, okay? This dude, Trump kicked this guy out. He's back in the country because of Alejandro Mayorkas. He's up in a freaking hotel with our money, okay, our tax dollars.

All right, he should be prosecuted, Alejandro Mayorkas, because the damage he's caused, we haven't seen the full extent, by the way. Besides the illegals, all those terrorists, all the thousands of terrorists that are here, PVD, they're just waiting for the green light. They're waiting for the okay to do it. And on Sunday, this little rat, Mayorkas, admitted that his deputies could have blocked more migrants at the southern border, but he didn't, okay? This is ridiculous.

Okay, enough is enough, especially when it comes to New York. Is it just me, Pat? On the day of that week that this happened, there were five separate stabbing incidents on the train in New York City. But everybody acts like it. And we're going down there as a spit in the face. And I think the Tom home and the borders are even mentioned something about her being unbelievably ridiculous, what she did. Just change, shame on her. Rob, if you got the clip, if you can play it, because I think

The timing of it, the audience to see this with the clip, the connet, Persian music played.

Okay so you know what's funny while this is happening?

So Tom, go ahead. You said, I'll give him a final. I got the things to say. If you've got the National Guard helping you do anything, that means you have failed as a governor because that means your state and local law enforcement are insufficient or improperly trained or constrained because you won't let them do certain things. So you get the National Guard when the problem is bigger than you can handle.

That's what she's got on the subway. So the mere fact she's got National Guard. I'm going to go to somewhere else. So Kathy Holkel.

beat Lee Zeldin in the closest gubernatorial election in 20 years, going back to 94. She won 53-47 over Lee Zeldin. If you take a look at the way the precincts lined up, if the governorship had been up right now in November, when Trump was elected, when you see the compression that happened, there it is, 53-47.

When you see the compression that happened in the Trump election of how close it was for Trump, you lost New York, but it was far closer. Zeldin would have beat Holkel four weeks ago, would have beat her. So now what I'm looking at is New Yorkers, 2026 is coming. You need conservative leadership and the governor's mansion. Number one, and number two, this situation, this is her Willie Horton moment.

Michael Dukakis had a furlough program and Willie Horton got out in Massachusetts in 87-88 and killed again. And he was absolutely pilloried as you should have been at the polls. Kathy Hocho, this is your Willie Horton moment. You have released people out that were deported. You have castrated your own police force and not let them do things that need to be done. And you've got the National Guard at U.S. taxpayer expense.

Bailing out New York, New York, citizens, 26 is coming. The midterms are coming. If they had elected a governor right now, Pat, Zilden would have beat Holkel right now. It's coming. Change is coming, New York. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. For some of us that were watching that video, we've seen the video. People are standing around. Was anybody doing anything?

No, anybody jump in. So let's ask the question that nobody asked. Why didn't anybody jump in? If I jump in, I'm going to be criticized. My life's going to be over. I'm going to be Daniel Pennied. Do I want to go through that? But the reality of it is,

based on how and who you recognize as a hero and a demon, the media sold Daniel Penny as a bad evil person. So guess what? People are afraid to be Daniel Penny's. By the way, if there was a Daniel Penny there that we turned him into a hero for protecting someone's lives and other people's lives, somebody would have jumped in there right now because they want to be the next Daniel Penny. But no, because you don't want to turn the hero and make your machine, mainstream media

gets a part of the blame for that woman no longer being here with us. Mainstream media gets a part of the blame for that woman. Whoever she is, I don't know her background, but she's someone's daughter, she's someone's sister, possibly, and she's someone's spouse, possibly. She's someone's friend, she's someone's cousin, but because you crucify

You know, in media terms, Daniel Penny, everybody's like, oh, I'm not going to do that. What are you going to do to the guy? I'm not going to do nothing to the guy. I'm not going to jump in there. You are preventing the next heroes from rising up and you're giving birth to more jokers from the movie Joker Joaquin Phoenix because that's your hero, New York. That's your hero. Your hero is that, not Daniel Penny.

And so somebody is looking at that. You know what parents are saying? Honey, honey, don't do anything. Son, don't do anything. Don't do anything. No, no, no, don't jump in the bay. No, no, no, don't do anything to the guy. Don't do anything. You know what they're going to do? Don't do it. Come here. Instead of, hey, what are you going to do?

It's a shame. It's an absolute shame to see how you handle yourself, where we forget who the true heroes are. Adam, final thoughts before we go to the next story. Yeah, you know, I'm in here in New York as we speak. I was on the subway two days ago.

coming in and out of the city. And this is something that people are talking about specifically on the subway. And in the subway in New York City, it has a famous phrase that we've all heard before, but a lot of people are scared to do. If you see something, say something. But beyond that, beyond saying something, do something. Here's this absolute lunatic who was already deported

Right, Guatemalan immigrant thrown out allegedly, allegedly, he was living in a shelter on drugs, drinking, and he would actually lose his mind. People are saying, goes up to a woman, apparently, allegedly she was homeless, sleeping on the subway card, and nobody did anything and they're calling it, like you said PBD, the Daniel Penny effect. The Marine veteran who stepped up as a hero, you talked about the hero making machine,

who saved how many people's lives? Who knew? How many people's lives did he do? So they're trying to track down family members for this woman that lost her life. But you're talking about the hero-making machine. Here he is right here. We planned this video? No, you're not. No, this is just him before. I think this is after the fact that he already told her. So you talk about the hero-making machine, PPD. Daniel Penny, by the way,

completely innocent after his day in court, but a lot of people saw what he went through, dragged into court, criticized, taken months, if not years of his life away, to basically be set free. Meanwhile, juxtapose that with the same thing going on in New York City, with this guy who's the darling of the left. What's his name? Luigi Mangione. Point blank. I'm not even saying allegedly. I think it's pretty clear.

killed the United CEO, Brian Thompson. But this comes back to me to one thing, everything that happened with a girl called Lake and Riley, okay? Here's a red blood in American. She was a nursing student at UGA. Her head was fricking bashed in with a rock by a Venezuelan illegal migrant who quote unquote went hunting for women. We saw, we read the letter

On the PbD podcast, the letter to her future husband, are you kidding me? So there's a rally in many Americans with common sense that are saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. The wide open border, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

So we're going to see what happens here in New York. I know that we're calling out Kathy Hochl, but Eric Adams, what's going on? I don't know what's happening with him. Apparently, he's working on a deal with Trump from what I'm hearing, that there might be some pardon in store if Trump can help get some of these illegal migrants out of the sanctuary city. But New York is not the same city that it used to be. I'm here right now, and you can feel it in the air, and it's depressing.

I don't want to move out.

I want a count of, listen, I know we keep talking about this, accountability. This guy is illegally here, should not be here, and this isn't a one-off. How many times does this have to happen to where we have to go? Because mind you, the border, as we speak, is still open. They haven't changed anything. Some visited for another month, so the borders are, comes in, but it's just, it's still happening, and they're still coming in, and there has to be consequences, and Pat, you called us about a month ago,

That guy deserves the death penalty. And the story, if he's convicted, because I mean, we all know he did it. He's on camera. He did it. He has to lose his life, okay? Because or not, they're going to keep doing it. They're going to keep doing it because you know what? They're going to be put in jail and we're going to pay for it for the rest of his freaking life. We're paying to keep that guy breathing while this poor girl burns to death. And one of the worst ways that you could freaking die.

burning alive and he's making videos of himself and posting it. That's unbelievable, bro. Unbelievable. January 20th, can't come any faster. It can't. There's no, there's no question there. And Tom, were you going to say something? So I want to go to the next story.

I was just saying, getting back to your original point, this is Marxism. AOC point blank said, she blamed weeks ago, Daniel Penny was to blame for the subways being unsafe. Marxists want revolution. So someone that goes out and kills and does this is a tool in their wards, the war they see from their side. You can't fail.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

AOC gets cornered two days ago, and her security detail whisked her away. She did not answer the question. You said Daniel Penny makes the subways more unsafe. What about this woman that just burned? No one jumped in. She didn't answer the question. She was whisked away by her security. So she's been confronted twice that I have seen by independent journalists that are trying to get a comment from her on the burning. She won't talk about it. After weeks ago, she point blank said Daniel Penny,

is making things more unsafe. Is this right or does. As your court has your. Yeah. So your district is suffering under the pressure of the order crisis. So I'm sorry. Trying to get to the tournament. Don't touch me. What your your district is very much suffering for the border crime. I will you not. No.

I'm not a care in the world, Pat. Not a freaking care in the freaking world. Let's go to next topic. Next topic I want to go to is

Don Lemon is interviewing somebody on the streets, okay? And they're going back and forth about how much mainstream media this guy consumes. And he says nothing. This African-American astute, great communicator, having a very respectful exchange with Don Lemon, and here what ends up happening. I think this is phenomenal. More and more Americans are starting to sound like this. Rob, if you can play this clip, that'd be great.

Who is the real president of the like to think? Donald Trump won, by the leave. Democratic lawmakers in Washington are calling Elon Musk President Musk now and they're saying Donald Trump is the vice president or the head of communication. What's what's what's what's wait a second? No, no one said that. Really? Have you not watched him paid attention? I'm literally not. I'm paying attention to what I'm doing during my day so I can try and get a better life and get ahead. Okay, do you have your phone with you? I do. Why don't you Google right now? Yes, tell me. President Musk and see what comes up. No. But that's already a loaded question you realize. Tell me, give me the sources.

Axios, business insider. We don't trust any of these. The common man doesn't trust any of this. ABC News, Washington Post, New York Times, the Atlantic. I don't trust any of these. I don't trust any of these. We're the common man. We don't trust any of these. No one trusts is the government. No one trusts the common news. We don't trust any of that anymore.

Independent news. We are the ones that own the news now. People trust me. They don't trust MSNBC because I care and I'm actually one of them. Can't disagree with you. Okay. I get a lot of people coming to me saying, I don't watch corporate media news. Right.

Vinny. I think, dude, for a second, I thought Don Lemon just got pissed off because he's trying to holler at the guy. But it's like, can you fall from grace more than Don Lemon? The guy is freezing his balls off in the cold asking questions in the street. I think it's like,

It doesn't get worse than that. From one of the main faces of CNN, now you're groveling in the street and you're still getting your ass handed to you. It's like at what point is somebody like that? Like Don Lemon needs to hear this. Dude, just give it up. Just stop what you're doing. You're rich.

You're married, grab your husband, go skip it to the fricking sunset, put this over. And the fact that he's in the street, I do respect that. You said that he's actually posting it to showing his ignorance, but it's over. Mainstream media is over, but these little people are just hanging on and grasping on because Don Lemon still wants to be on television. He still wants to be relevant, but Don, it's over. And I'm sorry, if you're trying to holler at the guy, he didn't want you. I think it's pretty obvious.

I don't think the star of that clip wasn't Don Lemon. The star of that clip is a citizen that says, I'm just trying to live my life and get a little bit better. I don't trust any of this. And that is a message they don't want to hear. The star is that guy just speaking up and pushing back and getting a little loud saying, no, no, no, no, no. You understand? We don't trust any of that. I'm just out here trying to do my step, trying to make my life better. That's the star. That's the American citizen that they don't want to hear from. Adam.

Well, credit goes to the guy that started this whole conversation, PVD, when you basically called it a few months ago, where the media would come out there and basically say it's President Elon Musk, Trump is not the one running the country, Elon's the puppet master, and here's a living, breathing example of down the lawn getting out there on the streets

Frieza has took us off going out there and parroting the same things that we've been talking about, that the media has been talking about. What was so interesting to me is that every time

Don Lemon read the media outlet, Axios, oh, Washington Post, oh, CNN, oh, as if that was like the zinger for the light job. And then the guy is like, yeah, I don't trust any of those mother suckers.

We trust Indibale Indibale. We trust citizen journalism. We trust podcasters. And oh, oh, here's some data for you. The trust in media is at an all-time, oh, low, 31%, but if broken down by significant party, Democrats trust the media 54% high level of trust. Independence, 27%. Republicans, only 12%

This is coming from the 1970s when trust in media was 70% oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Yeah, you know what it is. I love the fact that Don posted this, that the rest of the world gets to see and react to, which means he doesn't have a thin skin to at least have people laugh at him and disagree with him. Good for him, at least at this point. I don't know what he's gonna be doing next. But the concept of citizen journalism is increasing in ways we've not seen before. This started 10 years ago, 14 years ago,

when it was like vice and, you know, what was the, when people were going into the streets of New York to go against Wall Street, you were so rude. Peter's here. Peter's here. It goes out to, hey, I'm a millionaire and I'm this and what's your problem with it, right? And that one time that he got millions of views. I like what's going on. I like the direction it's going right now. And I actually think one of the biggest victories Trump's camp can have

is to increase trust in an administration. I'd love to see that happen. And I'd love to see some of these assets that people are calling toxic, CNN, toxic, MSNBC, toxic, will have somebody else purchase them that are not toxic and help revamp that brand, right? Have somebody else do. I mean, when you look at it right now, the list, the story comes out. Toyota donating a million dollars to Trump's inauguration. What?

Bezos, Sam Altman, Zuckerberg, Ford is giving a million dollars fleet of vehicles to Trump's inauguration, contributing to that inauguration. Are you kidding me, like what direction we're going? My hopes are that we trust more, but in order for us to trust more,

The establishment people that have been brainwashed to think they're above everybody else because of a piece of paper they got from Columbia have to indirectly be exposed, not eliminate it, just be exposed and that's going to keep happening by average day-to-day people. Adam, final thoughts? We're going to the next door. We know who the big winner is here.

the average everyday person. And specifically, what Pat always talks about, free market capitalism. What's the common theme that we're seeing here? Oh, people don't trust the media. Boom, they trust podcasts now. Oh, there's so much crime going on in California. Boom, everything is now worth 951 bucks.

All right, all right, cool. Now you're in the back of cop car. Two women are discussing, hey, you didn't understand that stealing is a failing now? Okay, we got to do this. Stephen A. Smith basically saying, oh, I don't know about this Democratic Party. Small businesses making effects. Gavin Newsom, where did $26 billion go, buddy? Free market capitalism and the market will tell you if you're doing right or wrong and all the losers are getting washed out.

I got two stories to get through before we wrap up with the time that we have is this story is disturbing parents. I'm telling you in advance. It's about two husbands that adopt sons that abuse the sun. So if you don't want your kids to hear this, dismiss them for a second. And let's go through this story together. I do think we need to talk about the story.

Husbands who abused adopted sons and house of terrors slapped with massive prison sentence. William and Zachary Zoolock, a Georgia couple were sentenced to 100 years in prison without parole after pleading guilty

to multiple charges of sexual abuse after their two adopted sons, including aggravated sodomy, incest, and sexual exploitation of children. The crimes came to light when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tipped authorities about homemade child sexual abuse material, CSAM, linked to the Zulox IP address, investigators found surveillance footage and electronic evidence, including graphic images and messages,

documenting the abuse. District Attorney Randy McKinley described the Zulak's home as a house of terrorists stating the depth of defendants depravity, which is as deep as it gets, is not greater than the resolve of those who fought for justice and the strength of the victims in this case. By the way, Rob, this is not even the full story of it. If you go to New York Post with the story to read what else is in this story, these guys were selling these boys to others.

These two guys were selling the boys for other men to abuse their adopted sons.

Think about this story. So the question becomes, is yeah, this the one, if you can go a little bit lower up to keep going, keep going a little bit lower, keep going a little bit lower, lower, lower, give us a 34, 3600 years, keep going. Those are the two of them defendants, keep going lower. The two brothers were 12 and 10 years old. The couple raised them under this guy's, but they've reached out to him as a government employee, had a dark secret. Okay, Zachary worked in banking and William was a government employee, had a, the couple were regularly forcing the boys

to have sex with them, and it was sure the abuse, the feeling of pornography, pornography. Yeah, love, love. Look at the shirts, Rob. Evidence showed that even they even begged abuse, about the abuse to twisted friends with one telling police Zachary, once send a Snapchat message reading, I'm going to F my son tonight, stand by, along with images of the boys being abused, and they allegedly use social media to pimp the boys, at least to two men,

and depraved local pedophile sex rings. The couple were arrested in 2022, both the completed guilty child molestation, and I mean, so you can, you can stop this one here. So here's my question for you, Rob, if you can run a poll, okay, what should happen to these guys? A hundred years or death penalty? Because just yesterday, I watched a mother with two daughters

talking about one of those 37 people that had a death penalty that Biden changed to life sentences, okay? And some of them raped children who were on death row and he flipped it, and the parents and the daughter are like, we never got a call from the president on how we felt about this.

You just flipped it on us and we were feeling like we're going to get our, you know, obviously nothing comes close because that person's not in your life right now. They're no longer with you. Imagine these two boys being adopted 10 and 12 years old. What should happen to these two guys? There's a lot of questions here, by the way. There's some will even speculate to say,

Can a gay couple be able to adopt kids? Some people go as far as that. If you just go 80 years ago, 40 years ago, 60 years ago when they did a survey by Gallup on what percentage were comfortable with this, it is a very, very small percentage compared to what it is today. But to me, what should happen to these guys? Worst case scenario, what kind of example should happen to these two men? Do you know what happens if you put them in jail and others find out what they did to these two boys?

Do you know what they're going to do to these two men? Do you know what they're going to do to them? But the reality of it is, is that 100-year life sentence enough for the next gay couple to not want to be tempted to do something like this to a voice that they adopt, what is the right decision to be made here, Tom? What do you think? I think there are cases where you look at it and you wonder if the reform is even possible. I mean, remember,

We call them prisons now, but once upon a time, they were deemed to be correctional facilities where you would go to debtor's prison and to work your way out of debt, you know, basically doing all this work and everything to get out. We're past that.

Federal prisons now, I look this up so you can check me on this, Rob. Federal prisons right now run about $120 a day or $44,000 a year. So you say to yourself, okay, hang on, if someone is not redeemable and you don't think that they can come back,

And they're what 40 years old and they lived the 80 years in a prison. You got 40 years times 44,000. So the US taxpayers are going to have a there it is 120. Yeah, 116 120 right on it.

So basically, if these guys live the 80, it's going to toss the taxpayer $1.8 million each by my quick. So $3.6 million. So the first question is, are they even redeemable? The second question is, society is now going to pay almost $4 million to keep them in prison. And then the next question is, do you run into something where you say, you know what?

You know, this is, you've crossed the line here. It's time to use capital punishment in other ways than an eye for an eye. And I think you look at it and say, you know what, you know, if you were to ask some of these prisoners that are lifers, do you want to stay in the prison system or would you like to opt out? What do you mean? Would you like to tap out?

You get cancer in certain countries, you can get an assisted suicide. Would you like to tap out? Otherwise, you're going to be here for 40 years and you're going to get incredible abuse because prisoners are not kind to child molesters. They are not. You look in the US prison system, that seems to be the one area that all the prisoners are united on. And you know what?

The child molesters have horrible things happen to them. I'm talking about beatings, punishments, a lot of things. So these guys may not make it past 60. Someone may shiver them in prison, shiver is a prison term for creating a knife out of something and killing someone. And so I think, you know, you look at it, you say, guys, you know what?

You can opt out. It's gonna cost us $4 million to take care of you or you're gonna be, we're gonna close one eye and let these prisoners take justice on you. Come on, dude. I mean, but do you go all the way to capital punishment? I'd love to put it to a vote of the people the same way the Californian people voted on that. Put it to a vote of the people. What do you think? What do you think? I'm asking you, what do you think? I don't think they're redeemable and I see a path to lethal injection here.

Personally, I do. Okay, Vinny, you're fine. Well, first I want to just state the obvious that the LGBTQ AI plus whatever community they've been having a freaking pretty bad run for this past four years, especially under the administration that hangs that freaking disgusting flag by the white by the American flag in front of the White House. I mean, the majority of the last mass shooters, especially schools,

have been in the LGBT community. The sexualization of the youth, drag queen story hour, kids stripping and gay clubs, which we've seen it, that's in the LGBTQ community. I think it's, I think it's disgusting that children are the most neglected group in this country. We have hundreds of thousands of them coming into the country.

Nobody knows where the hell they are. You have them getting sexualized, left and right. Nobody gives a damn. And this couple, Pat, this couple, and you were asking, because a lot of people are like, man, did they need rehabilitation? There is zero rehabilitation for a freaky pedophile.

You know me, I'm almost sober a year and almost seven months, okay? I was an alcoholic, all right? But you know what? It's not castes. You're always an alcoholic, okay? You don't get short. You still know that that thing is there, that alcohol is there. You mean to tell me that disgusting

evil thing that's inside them as a pedophile, that's going to go away. It doesn't go away. There are always going to be those people and they're always going to freaking want it. So something needs to be done with that. And I said this before in the past that about a chapter of Tom, is it at Matthew chapter 16 verse 8. This is the Bible. This is God. When it comes to hurting the youth, it's better for you to tie a millstone around your neck and throw yourself into the depths of the ocean. You might as well

kill yourself, which is an unredeemable sin. The mess with these freaking kids, Patrick. I think there's no curing them. And like you said, they go to prison. They might be protected. They might get killed. But I think there's nothing helping these people. And I think we need to take care of them, plain and simple, and set an example. Adam? Yeah. Well,

We all saw the movie, The Sound of Freedom, right? And we met one of the producers and the director. And the biggest issue I had with the movie was there was no issue. It was completely understandable and it was completely something that needed to be addressed. However, the issue I do have is how the media portrayed this movie as some sort of

QAnon conspiracy as if, oh my God, these types of things don't happen. PBD, you said on the podcast a few weeks ago, I think this 2023 alone, there was I think 375,000 reports of me. Something insane, right? This is

You know, how many people fit into a football stadium? 60,000, 80,000, 100,000? These are five to 10 football stadiums worth of missing children. Are you freaking kidding me? And then we see this picture of this couple in their pride flag, family, home, agenda, whatever that was, as if, yeah, everything's totally normal. So yeah, you know, I think you asked the question, what should happen to these people without a doubt?

Castration done you're losing your Johnson. Sorry guys. You're never gonna be able to do this again And by the way Pat Tom touched on this in the prison system and the correct and correctional facilities There's an unwritten code in PBD you've interviewed mafia criminals drug dealers the whole lot of

At the top of the list at the criminal pyramid in terms of payback from fellow inmates, inmates, it's crimes against children and sex offenders, no doubt. Beyond that, snitches, informants, former law enforcement, below that, the weak and vulnerable below that, at the top of the list are these sex offenders. These guys are gonna get what's coming to them, no doubt. But Adam, this is a little bit different.

Well, as I said, Adam, you mentioned the sound of freedom, all that. That's a separate issue. This is a gay couple adopting boys. And I get where you're coming from. I think that's horrible what they did with the sound of freedom. But this is the issue at hand is should gay couples, gay men, true gay men, be able to adopt true boys. Because the net opens up window of possibility. I mean, they're the same sex as these guys. These people are not related to them.

They're getting incest charges, but incest, that isn't your blood. These kids, these boys aren't your blood. And then if they get older, are you gonna be sexually attracted to them? Because they're not your kids. These are strangers kids that you paid for. You bought these kids.

basically from the state, because you have to go to all the paperwork and all the licensing, but they're not your kids. So at one point, you're going to be showering these freaking kids with their jingles hanging out. That's a line where I don't know, man. That's a touchy, touchy, touchy subject for me. That's where I'm at.

I have very strong opinions about this, very, and I think there needs to be a hardcore pain towards someone that does something like this for you to not want to replicate it. It has to be extremely painful in this example, because the people that also proved for them to get the kids, what kind of background check did you do on them? Because let's just say if I'm a bank and you give somebody a two million dollar loan for a house,

How do we do the audit on them? How do we do the underwriting? What signs did you look for? Outside of the credit score, what else did we see? Income to debt ratio, what else did you look through? How much cash savings did they have? Did they get fired recently? Did we call reference checks? What do we do to give these guys $2 million for loan that after three months they can make a mortgage payment?

So what is the underwriting process for a gay couple to be able to adopt a sum? What did they do? I want to know the depth of that process so much before we move forward and say yes to it, and a certain level of accountability where boys are going to be interviewed every month to say, how's the experience? What's going on?

And for about a good three year period, until you get this, the boys need to come and be reported on how they're doing and checking them out to make sure they're good, they're healthy until afterwards, they're like, okay, cool, it's been three years. At this point, typically takes us six months to find out that you're good. At this point of the process, in the insurance space, they call it the Incantestability Clause for the first two years. I can't look at everything. I want to have Incantestability Clause. If I'm giving you two innocent boys for you to raise,

I want to check if you're doing your part. Like, you know, in the U.S., when somebody that's here illegally marries somebody that's a U.S. citizen, and they check to see if they really love each other to make sure they give the citizenship to the husband. You know that whole process? If we're doing that, what's more important to follow up on?

Boys being, it's like a no-brainer to me for us to follow up on this, because I'm sure some do a great job at it, but that would be it. Guys, I gotta go. I gotta go to the next story. We can't do this. You guys keep saying you wanna say stuff. Okay, so next story here to go on is,

We'll do one last one here before we wrap up. Rob, can you pull up the tweet and the story of Bobby Kennedy about what he wants to do with Big Pharma? This is another one that's a top 10 on my list, guys. So New York Times, story comes out. RF Kennedy Jr. wants to ban drug ads on TV. It wouldn't be easy. Let me get this straight. This guy wants to ban

big pharma from advertising on TV by the way. If this gets approved,

It's the kiss of death for MSNBC, for ABC, for ABC, for any of those guys. Rob, if you go to the top of it, Rob, on that tweet, it shows how much money these guys spent advertising. If you remove my, there you go. In 2023, Big Pharma spent $15.58 billion on advertising.

So think about how many people's salary is being funneled through big pharma to CNN to somebody, funneled through big pharma to MSNBC to somebody. Imagine how many people's salary is being purely funneled, funneled from big pharma to them, and a middleman is these media companies, what would happen if that $16 billion give or take is gone?

Who loses money on them? What happens to a lot of these guys' salary? Does that automatically make a company like CNN go from being worth a billion and a half to being worth a half a billion dollars? What happens all of a sudden, if you don't have big formal financing anymore, where do you get your money from? Where does it literally come from? If Bobby does something like this and this gets passed on, by the way, this is the kind of stuff that if you're pushing this, by the way, this was also my top five list.

I talked about this with Vivek when I sat down with him a year and a half ago. I talked about it with this guy for the last two years. This was so important. If this goes through, Bobby Kennedy needs full-time security around him. If this goes through, you guys ever seen a movie gladiator?

where Russell Crow is about to eat the soup and the other guy eats the soup, the big guy to make sure they're not going after him. Somebody needs to eat everything that Bobby eats before Bobby eats it.

because Bobby officially has some of the biggest gangsters, lobbyists, that are gonna be targeting him if he decides to go this direction. Tom, your thoughts, how likely is it that something like this can be passed under a Trump presidency and under a Bobby Kennedy running the HHS?

I think the probability is low right now, but it's rising every minute. And what you're saying about CNN, MSNBC, they're so marginal right now. And by the way, it's also happening to Fox. Fox is admitting that cable news is going down. They didn't renew Neil Cavuto.

Um, he was offered a much lower contract and yet he was kind of this more moderate voice. Guess what? The money's got to come from somewhere. So you're going to have marginal stations like MSNBC, which is for sale right now, but they can't find anybody to buy it. CNN has been for sale. They were walking around what cocktail napkins had had, you know, NDAs to buy CNN at the Allen and company conference. So I suddenly did that and it got together. And if you take this money out, there's also something else that happens. The valuation of sports franchises goes down.

because sports franchises are being lifted up by the value of TB contracts. TB contracts are being supported by 15, $16 billion per year, per year of sports advertising. So never mind the economic part of it, but I think there's a 20% chance of success on this, but I think it's rising every single day because the rest of the world, it doesn't work this way. It doesn't work this way the rest of the world. Europe, no advertising. Even Africa, no advertising.

No advertising in Japan, Korea, Australia, Western nations. Now, New Zealand, little island off the coast of Australia, they allow it and we allow it. But that's it. That is it. So this would not be an unprecedented move. This would bring the globe into alignment on this. And that's, I'll say it again, I think it's 20% and rising every day, but I agree. Bobby needs protection. Really?

You said, you know, poking the bear. I don't think it's poking the bear. I think he's walking into the cave with a torch yelling, who wants some? I remember yesterday, I mentioned the movie, Michael Twain, which I know you saw what you thought was, you know, we thought was phenomenal. Well, Michael Twain is a fixture lawyer and he's going up against this huge pharmaceutical company. And these people have, they do think about it, we're talking about multi-billion dollar almost

Oh my, I pushed hundreds of billion dollars, pushing on trillion dollar companies. You got to be careful, man. This guy, look at the history of RFK. He's lost his uncle. You know what I mean? He lost his father because they were all voicing to help the American people. This is something that I think is extremely dangerous. I give them so much

fricking credit, because there's people that talk to talk that this guy with the history of murder and assassination in his family, he's still stepping up because this guy is a true, genuine believer. This guy cares about the fricking country. He cares about the people. I pray to God that he's protected, but you said it. He has to be extremely careful. That's one of the reasons I believe Hinson O'Shada's opinion that the Biden administration didn't want to give him secret service protection.

for all that time, because they know who he is. They know he's a freaking threat. But now, under the Trump administration, and I'm hoping to God, we still got some less than a month left, but that he's protected that. And like you said, food, random heart attack, accident, and a car, we have to be very, very careful. But I think it's, when it's too big to rig, in that sense, but in this situation, it'd be extremely obvious if something happens to this guy. But I pray for him every single day.

So it makes complete sense now why the mainstream media absolutely villainize this guy. And credit goes to who? Donald Trump for bringing them in and said, listen, I know you're a liberal and you got come crazy thoughts, but come on in and completely embraced. It's very interesting. By the way, who is he the son of? Bobby Kennedy, who is the nephew of?

JFK. PVD, do you remember that speech we've talked about this? 1962, or JFK gave his speech about the physical fitness of young Americans, and he said there was nothing more unfortunate

then to have soft, chubby, fat-looking children who go watch their school play basketball every Saturday in regard to this week's exercise, watching instead of doing. And we all know the situation, there it is right there, the situation where you have Bobby Kennedy

banging out bench presses, talking about being healthy, eating healthy, getting some sun, working out, being active, being healthy. And then you juxtapose this with this fat, sloppy, overweight, disgusting creature. Dr. Peter Hotez who said, yeah, maybe I should stop eating Doritos. But I'm on my 20th booster allegedly.

The United States, 40% of the United States, ROBs, and 75% of American adults are overweight. It's time for disruption. In the HSS, let's get people healthy and off the sick
