Lula Wins in Brazil, Jordan Church Attack & Rubio’s CIA Call to Cuba | PBD Podcast #879

0:00Did you ever think you would make it? I feel I'm so excited to take sweetly victory. I know this life meant for me. Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever signed. It's right here. You are a one-on-one? I'm sun-dried. I don't think I've ever said this before.

0:24No, no, we lost Tom already. We lost Tom already. Tom, Tom. with the elections that took place in Brazil, Lula against Bolsonaro. He's a little upset. Tom is upset. Oh, no. He left. By the way, I don't know if you guys are watching the numbers, what happened. Crazy how all of a sudden, you know, round one, Bolsonaro's up 56.1 million votes to 53.9 ahead of Lula, but almost 3 million votes. Round two, 64.1 million votes to Bolsonaro, 59.8. And that's including the three other candidates that were in round one that had 9.33 million. A lot of people are saying this is impossible. There's a clip of Lula begging, please open it up, begging, please open up these different areas for us to go vote.

1:08And some people are saying, well, Bolsonaro has the same exact thing as well. They did. We'll get into that. Catastrophic of what happened over there, and a lot of people are celebrating, but the one main person that's celebrating that should tell you a lot is Alex Soros, super excited, Bernie Sanders, ecstatic. AOC lit up about Lula winning there. And I think Lula just turned 81 years old today, if not tomorrow. It's his birthday. So that's one story we have to hit. The Jordan shooting, nine killed at a church, Christian church in Jordan. A fellow named Feras Ziodat on Manect messaged me saying, Pat, please cover this story.

1:49Feras, we're covering on the story. You asked us to do it. We would have covered it because it's a tragic event. Palmer Luckey. You know the Palmer Luckey guy from Oculus? Love him. This is Vinny's favorite story. Palmer Luckey decided to develop genetically engineer war dogs. I mean, why not? VR helmets. Can you imagine? Because of the helmets going in, so what if we produce that for the military? Why not? There's a line to cross. I think he's flirting with it. I don't know if this is going to be. Can you imagine one of them gets out? Yeah. You ever seen a movie Planet of the Apes when they're like, let me just live there.

2:22It's okay. Yeah. San Francisco. Of course. I don't know. There's too many opportunities for this thing to backfire on us. And then Elon restricts Starlink access to Ukraine, allegedly. And these stories are coming. I will address that. Rubio urges, folks, if you're listening from Cuba, to all our listeners from Cuba, to every one of you from Cuba, because, you know, you're not listening because they can't let you watch this stuff. But if you can somehow with a VPN listen to this from Cuba, Rubio is urging you to contact the CIA. If you have any information, okay? A little weird, but they're openly doing it.

2:58It's no longer like, let's make an ad. Let's do this. Let's reach out. Let's send people in. No, no. Hey, we are asking you to send us information to the CIA. We'll address that. What happens if the Dems win midterms? What happens if they win? Well, Hillary Clinton says, instead of trying to impeach Trump because we keep failing, let's go after Hexed. Hexed's going to be a target. News aggregator story comes out saying that the aggregators, the country, gets 60 % of their news from four news aggregators. And of the four news aggregators that they get 60 % of the news, only 2 % of the stories they give are conservative right-leaning.

3:38So 98 % of those four news aggregators only give left-leaning stories, not right-leaning stories. That 2 % sounds high. That 2 % sounds dying. It might be half a percent. Yeah, it may be. So, by the way, imagine what it would be by 2028 if AOC wins. Just visualize that for a second. Byron Donalds had his best moment of his campaign trail, in my opinion. Best moment, which I have to show you. He was trying to be respectful to this gentleman by calling him sir, and it backfired. I've never heard anybody get upset this angry, Vinny, when you call somebody sir. The last time somebody got this upset when I called somebody, sir, I was in the military and we just got into boot camp and we called our Sergeant First Class, sir.

4:24And he said, I work for a living. But in this situation, this man, allegedly man, was furious. Best moment Byron Donald's had so far. Europe is in shambles. I'm going to come to you on this one here. More than 400 ,000 protests across France. French police arrest more than 1 ,300 people amid the protesting. It's insanity over there. Gen Z's life, social life, is changing. One, they don't drink. And two, they don't want to get a driver's license. Can you imagine? I think the whole idea of why would I need to get a driver's license, someone is going to drop me off. Gen Z's. Tom, you look like you already have a joke in your mind that's a bad joke.

5:02No, no. Your face is already. It's coming. And by the way, when Tom tells jokes moving forward, can we create a tradition? Any joke Tom says, everybody just put a score 0 to 10. Say 2, 6, 8, 9. Let's just score it moving forward when Tom tells his jokes. Those will be low scores, unfortunately. Now, this next one, I'm definitely going to come to Ilan and Tom on this. Some life-changing advice for all the ladies out there from a very qualified person. Call her daddy. It's telling you, leave your husband. And if you leave your husband, you're going to find somebody better. Can you imagine the advice she's given?

5:32We'll cover it, and I'll let you make a decision for yourself. New York City Mom Donnie is saying, moving forward, whether you want to sell your property or buy property, offer it to their nonprofits first. They're making it some of the realtors, people's life, a living kill, especially the investors, hell, in being there. This story we didn't cover last week. I'd like to cover it. I think it is life-changing type of a story. Mummy removed from exhibition over its lack of consent because it's offensive to move the mummies. I'm definitely going to cover this one. Obama went to campaign for Abdul El-Sayed, and he had a lot of stuff to say.

6:07He called out Trump nonstop, and he even said Iran has now got the leverage because of what's going on with the war. Iran is stronger than ever before, et cetera, et cetera. So we all know that because you said that earlier. When you give a country$150,$200 billion, you're going to make them cash. $400 billion of cash. It's life-changing when you try to do stuff like that. Pentagon, you ready for this? This is freaking some people out. Not Tom, but it is freaking some people out. Pentagon prepares bases for 90 days without any outside support. And some people are saying 90 days, let's do some math.

6:43Trump allegedly has said a day after midterms, not he said, people are speculating, a day after midterms, he's going to attack Iran, okay? And if he attacks Iran, this could be a global massive potential, even if it's a 2 % possibility of a war. So people are saying, why is the Pentagon preparing bases for 90 days without outside support? Should we be worried? We'll talk about it. And last but not least, we have to address two things. Two women who just, you know, one of them, Nicki Minaj, whom when she walks by, you cannot miss her. You know, gee, what did they say? Trump said you can't miss her ass.

7:29Can you imagine the president literally says you can't miss? I mean, don't have to. But it's almost as if once she walks up there, if you don't say it, that means you're. But you know what it is? You know how, like, you get to a certain age. Like, my dad, when we have friends over, we have to, like, sit around my dad. The other day, my dad was saying some stuff in front of my oldest son. And my son's going like this. He comes to me and says, did you just hear what Papa said? I said, bro, you're 84 years old. You can say whatever the fuck we're going to say. You get a pass. He says, but dad. I said, I get it.

7:56I get it. We can talk to him about it. He's reached that level. But imagine if Nicki Minaj becomes a press secretary for one week. Just because they're saying it may actually happen. And then last but not least, you know, if you can pull up the picture of the legendary future president who today is her birthday in 2016, October 26th, right before election, she tweeted, happy birthday to this future president. And a week later, with New York Times saying there's a 95 % chance that she was going to win, she lost to Donald J. Trump. And ever since then, that smile has disappeared. Ever since then, that loss.

8:35But happy birthday to Hillary Clinton. What a special day today. But with that being said, for some of you that have faith over fear and some of you that nowadays, listen, Florida, it's cold right now. It's 71 degrees, folks. When you get up in the morning to go biking, it's kind of cold. But some of you guys that are on the East Coast and wanting to sport a jacket and be bold about it, Vinny, tell us about this faith over fear jacket. It's limited, correct? It is. There's only 47 left. So we have the Faith Over Fear guys on the back with the Hebrew 11 one on the back. You got the value attainment crest on the front.

9:12And then, guys, when I tell you it's like I had to take it off right now because it's warm as hell and I can't get nothing but compliments about the jacket. And, Pat, I got a manek from a guy, and I'm not going to read the whole message, but he said, you know, good morning, Vinny. Nine months sober now. Hearing you talk about your sobriety on the podcast helped me inspire you to make that change. He goes on. He goes, I was wearing the Faith Over Fear jacket. A guy stopped me to talk about it. We started talking about faith. He said he didn't believe in God. Long story short, ended up talking for a while, started coming to church, and now he goes to my church regularly.

9:42And he said, crazy to think that conversation started because of a jacket. Keep doing what you're doing. Tell everybody on the PBD podcast I said what's up. I love that. So this is – by the way, it's just – like I'm not going to lie. It's a sick jacket. I see people walking around in the office. So go to flb.com right now. Like I said, limited amount left, but yeah. And by the way, just go to the search and type in jacket, and then you will see the FLB jacket. It's ridiculous. It's crazy. It's beautiful. And I suggest for some of you guys who are in Michigan, buy it, walk around. Oh, yeah. Maybe you're in downtown Miami, wear it in New York.

10:13Some of the pockets of areas, maybe in Dearborn, you know, it's a good jacket to wear. And any order you place today, we're sending you this value attainment. What do you call this? What are those called Tom? What are these things called Tom? Not a, it's a, I can't say a brand name, but it's a, it's a aluminum cooler. It's a, it keeps it cold or keeps it hot. Put the VT logo right on it for anybody that places the order. So with that being said, let's get into the first story. I think the first story we have to hit up is Brazil. Lula officially has won the election. And today, if not tomorrow, is his birthday.

10:45He's turning 81 years old. He was crying yesterday, pleading, please open this up. And before I show this, he's begging the Supreme Court to open it up. And his previous lawyer, who was one of the Supreme Court justices, did that exactly for him because he needed it. But let me give you round one, 30 days ago-ish. Round one, Bolsonaro, Flavio gets 56.1 million votes. Lula gets 53.9 million votes. Flavio destroys him. And that's with three other candidates, four other candidates that were still in the race, okay? Fast forward, round two. 64.1 million votes. And Bolsonaro, 59.8 million votes. Lula went up 10.2 million votes.

11:29Bolsonaro went up 3.7 million votes. To give you how unlikely this is, all the eliminated candidates from round one got 9.33 million votes. And when this happened, the market lost their minds. However, yesterday, when everything was kind of going and it looked like Bolsonaro was going to win, Lula came out begging, begging to open up certain areas. and here's how he was pleading with his Supreme Court. Watch this. Go for it.

12:06He's begging to please open it up. Please leave it open. I'm translating to you because I speak Portuguese and I don't. I'm just telling you, this is what he's saying, right? You can pause it. Next time, guys, let's pick something with subtitles instead of putting a video as if you want me to translate for the folks here. I can't. But what he's saying here is please open it up. Now, a lot of people said, hey, didn't he, Bolsonaro, also ask to open it up? It's a fair question that a lot of people ask. But here's the problem. The areas that they opened up, the Supreme Court, were the areas that favored Lula.

12:41The areas they kept closed were the areas that helped Bolsonaro. So that is the part where a lot of people are furious with. And I'll open it up first. I'll come to you this night. I'll come to you first. What are your thoughts on what happened here? Do you think there was corruption? Do you think this is fair? What are your thoughts? The number is just too big. But what I mean by that is maybe not what everybody else does. I mean, first of all, it looks suspicious as hell. Let's be perfectly honest. But how do you get there? So for somebody to challenge the election, you have to say, where did these votes actually come from?

13:11We need a paper trail for, what is it, 10 million votes difference? That's an enormous number. So people on the right are going to say, or people on Bolsonaro's side are going to say, There's no way that's possible, but they showed up from somewhere. So we need more than just the number doesn't make sense. We need to actually have some kind of paper trail from one to the next to another. And I know Bolsonaro has already said that he's going to challenge the election. He says he's requesting an annulment. So this is going to get messy. And I think this is something we're going to see more and more.

13:42We've already been through this a little bit here. So that's just, I think it's the nature of where we are as, where the world is actually going, these extremes that are taking place. And it's gotten to be where the stakes are so big that this kind of thing is becoming more and more regular. Well, the stake is even bigger than you think, because the reason why this election was that important wasn't just because Flavia, and of course, they said it is impossible to recognize election results. We will use our legal team. We will request the annulment of these elections. Nothing's going to happen because Lula's in power and he was in power.

14:16So they brought everybody in. And for people that don't even know, there was an operation car wash with Lula. This guy literally stole collectively. He was given a house. He was in jail. He was in jail for like almost 580 days. Yeah, he was in jail for, you know, and he was given apartment. He was given all this other stuff, even in interviews. Then Alessandro de Moraes goes to pull him out and says, this is the only guy that Boliv can beat, you know, Jair Bolsonaro. And he brings him out. Just a very, very strange operation of what happens. But the reason why this is a big election is the following thing.

14:47They know what's on the line. The conservatives in Brazil had a shot because there is four Supreme Court justice seats that are available to flip. And whoever would have won, we know what that four means. Trump flipped three. Believe it or not, if Trump doesn't flip those three, everybody can complain about whatever they want to say. The fact that those three were flipped, you're at least protected from the Supreme Court for 20 years. there are four seats on the line right now that when he flips them, Lula, guess what's going to happen with the Supreme Court? It's going to be 9-2. Do you know what that means when it becomes 9-2?

15:22Good luck to the conservatives. Ever again. In Brazil, possibly for 20, 30 years. So where are you at with this? Where are you at with Brazil? Yeah, I very much agree. I think there's just a total breakdown of institutional trust happening worldwide, which is troubling. If you start seeing elections becoming disputed all over the world, It's just a bad sign in general. I do think the defense is always, well, look at the margin. Look how big it was. How could you ever cheat to that extent? That's always like the defense in these situations. It doesn't matter if there's fraud and corruption. There was fraud and corruption, period.

15:53It has to be hashed out. Again, the defense I know also is that both sides did ask for the extension. But as you said, if it benefited one party more than the other and there's no resolution to this, these kind of situations do end up escalating over time into things that could be much worse. because when you lose trust in your elections, the alternatives become much uglier to how you solve world problems. So, yeah, I just don't like the trend we're going down in general with. Now, this is what's crazy, Tom. In the morning of, you know where Calci had? In the morning of, can you go to the Calci of Brazil, Flavio Bolsonaro against Lula?

16:28Do you know what the Calci had in the morning? 80 % Bolsonaro was going to win. Calci. They had 80 % that Calci was going to win in this race. Lula. And then all of a sudden, it comes down to Lula winning? So it's a little bit of a... Lula winning by a lot. By a lot. By a massive margin. By such a margin, it can't be disputed. So could that be like a kind of a wake-up call for everybody here that's on Calci? That's saying, like, look, this person's kicking this person's butt by a lot. And then all of a sudden, it switches. But Calci is a representation of what people think is going to happen. The problem is that, again, you can't use it as a metric to determine.

17:09There's no depth. I mean, you see these kinds of things all the time. There's no depth to Calvary. But can you hear, Pat, when I saw this, the first thing that hit me, Tom, can you imagine if Trump, during an election, called the Supreme Court buddy and said, hey, listen, can you please just, for the areas that I'm at, that's more pro-Trump, have it extended for a couple hours? People would have lost their minds. And you made a great point, Pat. the first thing I saw was the celebrations of like Alex Soros was the first one to me that popped up all the globalists and then by the Hollywood did a video where they were doing a bunch of L's all these actors and stuff Mark Ruffalo and all these people like that's a warning guys that's a warning and then I was talking to somebody that's here that's Brazilian and I'm like hey why aren't the people like I would be same thing happened over here why aren't the people frustrated are the people going to do anything he goes Vinny we had the moment we had one of those moments that was like a january 6 go there protest those people are still in prison yeah and they're not coming out for a long time so they pump fear but you know what this is communist dictator 101 they have all these questions people are saying that they're cheating and they're stealing and then what's the first thing that he did the first speech that he gave he says he wants to regulate social media platforms like elon musk's x raging that freedom of speech and information was interference and we're going to have to regulate them.

18:28That should let you know exactly what is going on in Brazil. And it's sad. So what bothers me... By the way, let me show the Calci and I'm going to come to you. Can you pull up the Calci? I just send it to you guys. Okay, here's the Calci one. Watch this. So if you go... Of course, right now it says Lula. The blue is Flavio. After the debate that they had, he destroyed him in the debate. Flavio destroyed him in the debate. Look what happened to Flavio as the blue and Lula as the green. So just go a day before if you can zoom in. Do you see that? 86 % chance Flavio is supposed to win. And Lula was at 12.7.

19:03That's like Vivek losing, and then Alton comes back and beats Amy Acton. And then what happens? Go to the last day, today, boom. That's the part where people are confused. $33 million was on the line with Calci. And you mean it flips that easily? I don't know. There's a lot of fishy things that people are saying happen here. Tom, your thoughts on this. Well, the last time I saw a graph like this Wisconsin is incredible. Too many dirty jokes. No, there's not a dirty joke. The last time I saw this, Seattle was on the half yard line and they were just going to hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch and then this happened.

19:48Just let everybody know. I look at it and what bothers me about it is this is so brazen, but this is totalitarianism. This is what's going on. Saul Alinsky said this particular and justifies this particular means. And we know that he was talking about that there is a liberal elite that honestly believe that they are right and they want to rule us. The liberals do not want socialism for all. They want a dictatorship of their own making. And this is where the globalists are coming from. And so all of this is happening because they honestly believe they're right, they should be doing it, and that the entire West and capitalism should be shut down.

20:30Remember, BRIC is the other economy. Brazil, Russia, India, China. And Brazil is a key linchpin because in many ways it's a labor base. And so what you have going on down here just bothers me to death, Pat, because of the brazenness of it. You look at it. We don't need to go down the list. We know what happened. This district, not that district. Supreme Court's your guy. My gosh, they just did it. And so if you don't think that's what's happening here and you don't think that that's why that we've had election irregularities in the United States. And if you don't think that this is exactly what AOC talks about when they all talk about Brendan Carr will be gone from the FCC, Their guy will be or their girl will be at the FCC.

21:15And then they will be putting pressure back, pushing people in social media land and the big tech players to play ball. And they'll play ball. Facebook played ball before. And then we flipped leadership and dragged them into Congress. Yeah. Yes. And find them a couple billion dollars. And it went. The brazenness of this. Can I ask a quick question? Just because we're all brazen. We're all touching on the same point, but fundamentally, what do you do? Let's say you're a Brazilian citizen and you're in this situation. Let's say you're in the United States. You feel like you're losing trust in the institutions that are supposed to protect you.

21:49What options do you actually have at hand to make a difference? You're stuck in Cuba with old Chevrolets for 55 years. Yeah. There's a case study. Some of the people were killed. The smart people were killed. Some of them escaped to Miami, and those Cubans built freaking Miami, built real estate down in Miami, and everybody else was stuck under Castro in Cuba in 55 years. There's the case study. But eventually there are no more places to run away to, which is. But you know what it is? I think, Elon, it's the, because remember, at the end of the day, the people have the power. There's more of us, there's more of them than those leaders at the top.

22:28But you see it. Like when a January 6th when the president's like, guys, he knows something was fishy. Okay, there's no way when you see that chart, can you show Conor that Wisconsin chart? It's at the point where people are like, oh, you guys are just making, no, no, no. You cannot tell me that that isn't a fact. And now we're finding everything with Georgia and all this stuff. They cheated. I don't care what anybody says. Because even if big news outlets were covering stories for Hunter Biden, bro, they were covering windows at polling stations so you couldn't see what they were doing. So I think it's the people have to be like, no, to hell with it.

23:02And it's like, bro, a bunch of us are going to get arrested. You're going to get in trouble. But what other options are you going to do? The difference between the J6 here and the J6 there is the J6, when it happened in Brazil, it was nasty. I don't know if you've seen the videos. I was at Brasilia when we went there. It was the building where their J6 happened. They were, you look at the video, it's insanity. Those people are still in prison in Brazil. They're going to be there for a while. They're not out. So the families are like, don't do that again because they're going to, that same exact building?

23:32I was at that building right there, right in front of it. So this is where a lot of the protesting happened. And here's a couple things. Out of the 17 polling stations in Brazil, this is the reason why a lot of people are saying there was fraud. of the 17 polling stations that they had, you know how many of them predicted that Flavio was winning? 15 out of 17. Come on. They're counting the polls. 15 out of 17 said, guys, Flavio's winning. And then all of a sudden it flips. Right before the election, just a few days ago, he started talking about this a few weeks, but I think right a few days ago, he passed one of the biggest entitlement programs they've come up with of, I think, 300 billion Brazilian dollars, or 60 billion U.S.

24:16dollars, hey, we're going to do this, and we're going to do that, and we're going to do this. It was exactly right before the election. So there was way too many things, but this was the conservatives' opportunity, and I think a part of it were a lot of these Nicholas, a lot of these other Paolo, a lot of these guys that are very loud, vocal, Eduardo, who've done a phenomenal job trying to bring this back, they know the biggest part about this is, those Supreme Court seats, because they were about to flip it to five to four conservatives. One of them already retired of the four Supreme Court justices.

24:49One retired. The other three, they're about to announce retirement. Two of them are corrupt. Two of them are moderates. They're going to flip all of them to whoever Lula's guys are going to be. Guess what's going to happen for another 30 years? They got full. This is a massive, massive event, even bigger than what happened previously. And a part of what you were talking about, what happened in all these different, you know, Georgia, all this stuff. The part of the 2024 campaign that a lot of people didn't talk about enough is when Laura Trump was working with those 2 ,000 lawyers to go to every single one of the polling booths and say, hey, you're not going to do this.

25:23We're watching you. We know what you're doing. We know what you're going to be doing. I don't know if that took place here or not. I don't know. I don't know if they have that kind of money and resources to be doing that or not. But if you know one person that's celebrating right now, it's that guy's face who just pulled up. Alexandre de Moraes, that guy right there, that is the guy who is the brain behind this entire plan because he's the guy that went and got Lula out of prison, getting him to run, and then this is exactly what just took place. There's another angle here, too. One of the reasons why it makes it a little bit more credible is that when you look at the geopolitical shift in South America, South America has been turning rightward to the point where Brazil was only like the last leftist holdout.

26:02So look at this from the perspective of the left in South America. They had to win Brazil. They could not let Brazil go because otherwise South America would have been lost. Yeah, it's the last stronghold. Pretty much. Pretty much, yeah. So, I mean, that just adds another layer to the intrigue here because it adds motivation. Well, there's a ton of motivation, incentives, statistical anomaly, but all those things combined. Yeah, unlikely things happen. I mean, but when it's one after another after another, just simple mathematics. When you multiply rare events, they get even rarer, not more common.

26:34But when you look at that motivation, the geopolitical motivation to the left, given where South America is trending, should we really be surprised there? Yeah. Okay, and this is what you were talking about. 2022, it was all red, which that means left. And then all of a sudden it's becoming more blue. And if they would have gotten Brazil, that would have been a massive, massive victory. Even Colombia has shifted. I sympathize. Venezuela has been turned. They're going to be, and you saw about Venezuela. Maria Karina Machado eventually came to Venezuela. So they're going to be, you know, we'll see what happened there.

27:06But let me get to the next story. Next story I want to get to is the shooting in Jordan. Okay. And if you can pull up the title that ABC used for the shooting in Jordan, so Vinny can go to it. Yeah. So nine people killed at a shooting at a church in Jordan. Again, a fellow on Menech said, please cover this story. We're definitely going to be doing that. Vinny, what happened there? So nine Christians dead, 40 other wounded. After gunmen, they opened fire in a Greek Orthodox church in Jordan during a funeral of all things. Okay, people are there mourning and, you know, somebody that they love, Pat, praying, bearing their dead, and witnesses said the attackers yelled, Allahu Akbar, God the Greatest, as they opened fire.

27:56And I keep asking the same question. Why does it feel, and I know, Elon, you have strong opinions on this too, that the world has such a different level of outrage when it's Christians getting slaughtered? And be honest, all the people out there listening or watching this, the majority of you had no idea this was even a story. Be honest. But when it's other religions, wars are started. When this type of stuff happens, wars are freaking started. We hear about hatred and persecution. People are marching. The story dominates. Okay, and look at ABC News. Doesn't say terrorists. Doesn't say Christians.

28:28Just people are dead by a gunman. Okay, and it's crazy. And what they actually said, Pat, people said, Allah Akbar, I'm translating it, and glory belongs to Allah. We have brutally punished the Christians of Karak in revenge for Islam and the Islamic State. Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar. Okay, they explicitly invoked Islam and the Islamic State to justify attacking Christians. And I want all the people out there, because mind you, still getting death threats on Instagram, reported it multiple times. They haven't taken it down, even though, even though, and you were in the same boat as me. I said something about the - By the way, this is the video.

29:01We're not showing this to the public. Yeah, yeah. Go for it. This is the video. People are there. They're there for a funeral, guys. And then boom. Okay? And by the way, the guy on the floor, I don't want you guys to keep - I would stop it. Right, Pat? I don't know. We're not showing it to the public. It's just us. Okay, just us. Guys, the guy's down on the floor, and they're still shooting the dead guy. Okay? And so besides the guy, still account, still available on Instagram. I said one thing about COVID once. They banned me for a month. The fact that I'm getting death threats and they don't do nothing.

29:31And this is the religion of peace. I just want you guys to know that. And just FYI, because Pat told his son to read the Quran, so I read it just so I have something to debate people about. In the Quran, go to chapter 9, guys. It commands people to fight certain people, including Jews and Christians. And whenever I bring that up, I'm going to get a thousand messages. That was during wartime. And you have to understand the context. Okay, that's fine. But when there's 2 billion people out there, and let's just say I'm going to give a very conservative number. All right, guys, 20%. 20%. Let's just even say 25%.

30:06That's 500 million people that think like that, that you're less than them, and they're ordered to kill you. That's how they interpret this book. Okay? Show me we're in the New Testament right now where Jesus was around and he was saying, go kill people and slip the throats of the non-believers. Okay? That's ridiculous. That is absolutely ridiculous. And it's a huge problem. And that's why we have to talk about this Islamic extremist without pretending that it's not every Muslim. I hate when people are like, oh, we have good Muslims. I understand that. But when the number is 2 billion and you give me a percentage of 25%, which believe in that type of stuff, believe in Sharia law, believe that, you know, death to the infidels because you're going to get virgins in heaven.

30:48I have a huge problem with that. And stop saying we have the same God. We don't. My God, Jesus Christ is the way and the truth of life. I hate when they're like, they don't believe in the resurrection. They don't believe in Hujib. They just believe he was a regular prophet. We don't have the same God. So stop spewing that stuff and stop messaging me that it's the same God because it's not. And there's a lack of outrage drives me bananas, Pat. Bananas. If this was anybody else, it would have been all over the news on X. Did you even see the story? You saw a little blurb. Yeah, a little blurb. So, yeah, I'm involved in this space.

31:20This is one of the most tragic blind spots in the world. There are roughly 388 million Christians under extreme persecution worldwide, and trying to get attention on that is the hardest thing in the world. You can go on opendoors.org. They're an amazing organization, and they track the countries which persecute Christians the most. Nine of the ten countries where Christians are most persecuted, it's happening from Islamists. The tenth is North Korea. You have to look. This is not an isolated event. There was a suicide bombing in a church in Syria which killed 25 people. It happened in Congo at a church.

31:53In Nigeria, there were multiple attacks on church. In Egypt, on Palm Sunday, there were bombings at churches in Tantan, Alexandria. Somalia, it happens. In Yemen, it happens. And it happens in the most brutal way possible. There's a consistent theme here. and again it's there's just an extreme resistance or lack of outrage we see right now in europe people attacking christian businesses attacking jewish businesses leaving muslim businesses untouched under the guise of riots for equality while they rave free palestine flags and cover the most famous sites for europeans with draping them in the flag of palestinians and again this is just an odd odd phenomenon you look at the population of christians in the middle east and how it has declined tremendously.

32:36The Coptics in Egypt have been persecuted. The Assyrians, obviously, as you know, have experienced a genocide. You look at Lebanon, which used to be a Paris of the Middle East, and the PLO came in and destroyed Lebanon. It's now less than 30 % Christian. By the way, Bethlehem, under Jewish or British rule, was 90 % or 86 % Christian. The Islamists took it. You have the PA and Hamas, who now control the region. It dropped to 7 % on the lowest census reading. and when polled, they literally admit it's because of persecution. This is a consistent theme. It's not an isolated incident. And by the way, people have to educate themselves.

33:12You're saying it's not all Muslims, and you're absolutely right. It's specific sects of Islam, like Wahhabism, Salafi Sunni Islam, which has spread. You have the extremists on the Shia side. And by the way, on an additional note, because if you somehow want to ignore Christian suffering and you want to put all your attention on Palestinian suffering or Muslim suffering, millions of Muslims die from this extremism too. It's not just isolated to the Christians, but the attacks on Christians have to be acknowledged by the world. It has to stop being a situation where they suffer in silence. That is the end of it.

33:44We have to start bringing attention to this cause all around the world. The persecution is horrifying, and the way that the liberal mainstream media ignores it is even more horrifying. It's like the right people are dying. You might as well just run those headlines. ABC, the right people are dying. Gunman opens fire in church. That's really what I see. And I'll tell you, but to everyone that's out there that calls Christ is your faith, the Holy Spirit is moving. God is still good, and God is still powerful. You know where Christianity is growing fastest on this earth? Africa and Asia. Africa and Asia, and it's not even close.

34:29What is happening is that the Holy Spirit is coming to those who are willing to listen and is bringing grace and understanding to those who are willing to be there. And he's turning his face away from those who turn their face away from him, and he's leaving it to their blindness. Scripture says they are blinded, and so he leaves them. That doesn't mean he leaves us. He doesn't leave the Christians. We are the remnant. We are here to encourage. We're here to work. We're here to do it because there is a bright future. I believe the future looks brightest because Christ is going to come back. That's what gives me that the future looks bright.

35:04And along the way to make as much hope and as much economic improvement and as much peace that can be brought to people as possible. But we need patriots to do it. We need people that are willing to stand in the gap to do it in these areas where we're being persecuted. So God bless the Coptic Christians that are still in Egypt that are holding their little churches. God bless the remnant of Christians that are the agrarian Christians that sit there in southern Lebanon, where rockets go north in the morning and go south, and they sit under that like watching a rainbow of rockets. That's it. So he is moving, and I'm inspired by Africa and Asia.

35:43Thank you, Tom. Go for it, Jeff. Two things here. One is that, first of all, from the leftist perspective, like you said, Tom, they're getting the right people. Remember, leftists believe that you're either an oppressor or you're oppressed. And they believe that the Judeo-Christian society has oppressed people forever. So therefore, what do we care about? Oppressors. They're the oppressors. They're getting what they deserve. That's why you don't get much of attention. And that's why, if you understand that, all the mainstream news stories are framed in that exact way. So it was just a gunman killing people.

36:14No big deal because they were the oppressors. They got what they deserve. The second thing is not to downplay what's going on in the Middle East because it's definitely worse. But how many churches have we seen burned in the U.S. and Canada? It's a global issue. It is everywhere. And nobody talks about that either. Why? Well, I mean, obvious reasons. Again, the oppressors. So this is not something that's just happening in the Middle East. It's got a little bit more violence to it in the Middle East. But there is an anti-Christian movement that is happening here just as much as anywhere else. And it is much bigger than you actually think it is.

36:48SWAT goes after pastors. SWAT has gone into pastors' homes. There was the FBI leaked document there. Did you guys see that, where they had targeted actual religious institutions, Christian religious institutions? But can I ask you a question, though? Why is it the left-leaning media like ABC and even leftist Democrat presidents like Hussein Obama, when ISIS was beheading Christians and burning down churches and taking all of our Syrian artifacts and breaking it, he wouldn't call it radical Islam. He wouldn't do it. The words wouldn't come out of their mouth. Well, because the biggest threat to all this whole globalist agenda is strong faith.

37:24That's why I always talk about how important it is to just lean on your faith. Oh, hardcore, bro. And I'm just, it boggles my mind that these people can't see that. And I remember people were like, why can't you call it Obama? Call it radical. It's radical. Because they don't see them as terrorism. They see them as terrorists. They see them as resistance fighters. But also they don't, you know, the idea is you're not allowed to criticize the protected classes. So we can't call them Islamists because then, therefore, you might generalize that to an entire group of people. And we can't do that. And you know what?

37:54When we're talking about this stuff, of course, this is a tragic thing. But the part you've got to realize, when you see a story that tells you 60 % of Americans get the news from four aggregators, 60 % from four aggregators, and these four aggregators, less than 2%, are stories from right-leaning organizations. I mean, what does that tell you? So Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and Microsoft, MSN, that's where people are getting their news from. No matter when people are along about Twitter, you know, we have this, we have that, we have all these different things. It doesn't matter. Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and Microsoft News, only 2 % of the stories that they get is from conservatives.

38:35So according to research by the MRC, out of 487 top stories last February on Google News, only 11 or 2.2 % were right-leaning, 314 or 64.5 % were left-leaning, and 162 were in the center. As for the Apple news last January, out of 620 stories, there were zero right-leaning ones, Vinny, and 440 left-leaning articles on popular websites such as Fox News and New York Post were never promoted on Apple once. Weird. Not one time. A broader Big Four analysis in April showed the apps promoted 92 % left-leaning, outlets and only 17 % left-leaning ones. And when the right-leaning outlets were promoted, Bazel says they were typically non-political features that don't really lean left or right, meaning it's just an evergreen story that's a neutral story.

39:26It's not a big thing. NPR was linked by Apple 155 times in six months. Bazel told Full Measure was linked by Google 121 times in six months. NPR is the 20th most popular news website in America today, whereas the New York Post is a top 10 and Breitbart is in top 35, and they still don't show it. So as much as people thought this is behind us and we've moved past it, it is still happening. And it's just going to get nastier in 2028 if an AOC or someone else wins. Tom, your thoughts on this. You have to understand, first of all, this article is so correct. And what's even shocking to me is that it's actually made it above waterline.

40:09People can see it. What they're doing, big tech is part of this mainstream media. I've always said it. Take a look at what happens on your phone. First on your computer, Microsoft News pops up down in the bottom because Windows is the prevalent operating system of, yes, there is Apple in creative areas and other people use it. But Microsoft Windows, overwhelming majority of OS that's on desktop computers. And it floats right down in the corner. The stories float. So they have this entree to you. Also on Apple, you open up your Apple phone. It'll pop up if you don't configure it otherwise. It pops right up on the home screen of your phone.

40:52And these articles come up here, and then it says, oh, you're not subscribed to Apple News. You're not subscribed to Apple News. It pesters you to actually pay Apple to deliver you liberal bias. It says you look back at at the time, I'll tell you, in 2000, there was tremendous angst, Pat, in the Democrat Party over a man named Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report because they claimed that in 2000 he was swaying things. He was manipulating things. And the Drudge Report was the first news aggregator that drew the ire of the left because it drew all these articles in together that would curate. And they say, well, he's curating more on the conservative side.

41:36This is before, you know, Fox News was used as a profane statement by the mainstream media. Oh, it's Fox News. So the aggregation path and control to populace that is happening with Apple on the Apple News, to my feeling, is the most troubling because they've got access to the to the largest base out there that if you don't configure your phone, they pop it right up to you on. Let me ask this question. So here's a question for you. Trump has a relationship with Tim Cook. They've spent some time together. Why isn't Trump making a phone call? And maybe all he has we don't know about is saying, hey, Tim, what is going on here with Apple?

42:13And I know Tim Cook's contract is coming up by the end of the year and somebody else is going to take it. They've already replaced him, right? They brought the new CEO guy that he was. Was he a product guy that replaced him? We talked about him. Yeah. So why is he not making that phone call and saying, is there any reason why this is? high. Why isn't a Brandon Carr reaching out from the FCC saying, don't you guys have the ability to do 50-50? If it's 98 % and you're giving these guys so much authority, why are you not why do they not have to go by a certain baseline to say, if you're going to use this app here's how we're going to do it.

42:49You think that conversation is being had? This isn't public airways. They can't enforce that. It's a private platform. I understand that, but the part where But a part where Trump came in and when he said to CNN, hey, you guys can't be participating, you saw how that happened. They're like, oh, my God, I cannot. Obama said, imagine if somebody like me would have done something like that. And then people are like, you did do something like that. You absolutely did something like that. But do you not think there's an opportunity for that conversation to be had? Yeah, but then they would push back and say, again, taking their position here, playing devil's advocate.

43:19I want you to. Yeah. They would say, look, it's not us. We hire some third party news aggregator site. This is how the left works. They build these. They always say they just offset accountability. So what is Trump going to do? To say not one story? Yeah, come on. By the way, let me tell you what's going to happen. But that's the thing. They can say this is our platform. We can do what we want. Let me ask you a question. Who is the one guy in the free market that can bully these guys? Because these guys are bullies. Of course. This is a form of a bully. That's exactly what it is. The whole point here is never get right.

43:45You're bullying the people's minds is what you're doing. Yeah, it's a form of indoctrination. It's a form of bullying where you cannot get access to the information automatically. They're like, yeah, here's why. It's worse than that. It's brainwashing. The idea here is the thoughts that you have in your head, you think, I'm the only one who thinks this way. Well, they get isolation. They isolate you and then they get you to distrust everything. That's the whole point. It's the idea is you have – we all agree. But if you think you're isolated, you won't do anything. Of course you're not going to speak out publicly.

44:13I think it's much bigger than Trump just being able to go. I think it's just the entire establishment has been going down this direction for a very, very long time. And again, like you said, there was always going to be the defensive position of it's a private platform. You shouldn't be commenting on it. The other concern here, which is you kind of touched on it a little bit, is it's not just that people are being indoctrinated and exposed to information that reinforces these insane worldviews. But it's the percentage of people who understand that this isn't truth and then feel completely isolated, but also have no trust.

44:47Again, it seems like there's this ongoing theme to push the people who think independently into being in a situation where they are isolated and don't trust the institution. That in itself has a lot of damage beyond the indoctrination that this causes. So I think there's a two-sided coin here. I'm going to tell you this here. The guy that is – how much of a true believer do you think Elon is in knowing that this is happening? How much do you think he is? How much do you think Elon remembers when Apple was making it complicated for his app when he took over? And then Larry Ellison told him, pump the brakes with Tim Cook.

45:20He's got a lot of power. Be friendly with him. And then Elon does what? He goes and buys that phone service, telecommunication company for$8 billion-ish, whatever the number is. That day, Verizon, AT &T, everyone's stock drops, what, 10 %? Let me tell you what just happened. Here's what just happened, which is very weird. And I think we do need to talk about this as well. So story comes out about Elon Musk and Ukraine, where they're accusing Elon Musk of restricting Starlink for Ukraine. Let me read this to you and kind of break it down on how this works. So Elon Musk admits SpaceX purposely restricted Ukraine Starlink access in war with Russia.

46:00That loophole was closed. He said this on X, if you want to go to it, intentionally restricted it. Zelensky was using it to kill people. Correct. Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be. Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the U.S. government. What they decide to do with it is up to them. Ukraine's military violated Starlink's terms of service and used it to offensive strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week. Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine as it is only the system that cannot be jammed or blown up, or at least for now, where Starlink to be turned off by the Ukrainian front would collapse immediately.

46:41This is not a threat. It is simply a statement of fact. Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war. As all other means of communication were destroyed, SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth by far. That said, I have nothing but utter contempt for the virtue signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell. End of story. Now, let me tell you, this message right here, do you know what the difference was? Here's what was going on.

47:13So imagine the drone controllers of Ukraine. They're sending the drones. While they're sending the drones, they were able to still have control of the drone when it's going 250 miles an hour. That's what they had. So it's going, the drone is flying. That's pretty fast. And then all of a sudden they realize, wait a minute, Now they're losing control. If they went to 260 miles, they're losing control. At 250, Starlink is allowing them to still have control of the equipment. Elon brings it from 250. They notice they're losing control at 200. At 150, now it's only 100 miles an hour. So you go above 100 miles an hour, you fully lose control of the drone, so you can't go hit a target they wanted to hit.

47:53So you can create an autonomous like a, hey, this is the target, go hit it, but I'm losing control. but the failure rate has gone up heavily because Elon's like, no, I'm not giving you 250 miles an hour. You're not just going to go out there and hit targets. So Russia had a harder time being able to control these things coming in at 250 instead of 100 of them. So imagine you're sending swarms of drones going on. Imagine how fast it's flying. You ever seen a car go 250 miles an hour? Most people have not. So imagine what 250 is. Boom, just went. Go in and stop 1 ,000 of them. Go in and stop 500 of them.

48:25So Elon's making a very, very strong stance here. And the reason why I went to this story right after the Apple story, Elon just invested a billion dollars into, what is that company's name? David Ellis and Skydance, right? To control, not control, to be able to have CNN. You see a lot of other people are like, oh my God, I'll never work with CNN if Elon's going to be running it. This is where it's going to me. When you see a story, do you know how many people just go like this and they get the story from what? Apple tells you the news. You mean to tell me out of all those stories not one of them was from right-leaning?

49:03Oh, really? Do you think Elon's just trying to do this because he wants to live in a massive house and put parties together and be famous? Or do you think he's a true believer? True believer. You think he's just a capitalist for money? Nope. I'm telling you, I was at Hannity's wedding. We're having conversations with very interesting people at this place. Beautiful wedding, by the way. I'll give some of the information on that afterwards. It was phenomenal. And the main conversation I was having was what is the level of protection of him? They took out Charlie. The next guy for them to have to take out is going to be this guy.

49:38You know what I told one of the guys? Here's what I said to one of the guys. Do you remember the movie Gladiator? Do you remember the movie Gladiator? You remember that scene where Maximus is right there and he's about to have the soup and the other guy, the bodybuilder, takes it. He eats it. He says, let me have this. And he starts acting like he's choking and then they start laughing about it because they were worried that everybody was trying to kill Russell Crowe. If I'm a guy that I'm in Elon's space, I have a team of people there. Your job is, hang on, you're not eating this? Can you take a bite?

50:09Now you can eat it. It would be that. You cannot have. this guy is going to... I'm telling you, they're not going to let this guy live. I know. Honestly, when you were reading it, when you were reading what he wrote there, that was my impression of the House of the Alives. This guy's brought to the entire globalist movement. They've already said they're going to put him in jail. That's not enough with these guys. At the very least, they're open and overt about their threats. Because watch what he's saying. He's saying to you, Starlink, look, he... Hey, give us... And by the way, it's not like Zelensky's the best at...

50:40What's the word? Democracy? Not democracy. As if he's good at diplomacy. Oh, no, at all. Yeah, the diplomacy. Very demanding. He's not a diplomatic guy, so you're pissing off Elon that – so I don't know. My biggest concern when you see stories like this, you just saw what happened with Lula. You just saw what they did with Brazil. You're seeing what they're doing with the aggregators, the four news sites that Apple, one of them, has not even given any of the stories. Elon's going to sit there and say, oh, really? No problem. On the back end, he'll use the resources to do something about it. When it comes down to Starlink, I'll open it up to you guys.

51:15Anybody have strong opinions on what's going on with Starlink? Tom, I'll come to you first. No, but this was, you know what this was? This is him attempting to use the frequencies of Starlink. Because remember, the faster you go, the harder it is to maintain link with mobility. And so he's using technology to help protect people when this, in his mind, things get out of control. So I applaud what he's trying to do, and he's trying to bring the war closer to close. Well, you know what some people are saying? Some people are saying, well, he's being protective to Russia. How? Yeah. But that's what, guys, I'm telling you what they're saying.

51:52They're saying, oh, he's a pro-Putin guy. He's a pro-Russia guy. Of course they're going to say that. Because Zelensky. How do you side with Putin? Weren't you supposed to side with Zelensky? Because Putin's the enemy in this situation. What do you say to that? I think that to some extent you have to provide an off-ramp path for the Ukraine-Russia war. And as long as you're providing unlimited access to all technology, weaponry, and whatever Ukrainians request, you're going to keep incentivizing them to fight. I think this is the first time in human history where a single individual holds this much power over a possible conflict or even global infrastructure, all the things he's developing.

52:26And so that's an immediate threat, like you said, to globalists. and there's a great clip of Elon Musk where he's asked a question of like, when you put out this tweet, what do you think? It's going to damage your company. They're saying this. You have the clip and he takes a pause. And it's one of my favorite movies. It's crazy that you're thinking. Yes. I love that you said that. And he looks at it. Dude, I got goosebumps back. It's one of my favorite movies. And he goes, offer me money. Offer me power. I don't care. And he goes, I'll say what I want to say and that the consequences of that is losing money.

52:58so be it and how awesome is bro we are so lucky that he is on our side and what i mean our side it's the side of just being normal okay call it conservative i don't care what the hell you want to call it he's not a he's not a religious guy he's mentioned i know he's you know he's prayed and he's also historically he's historically donated to both yeah they went way too low how lucky we guys i'm telling you right now pat you made a great point he has to be very very careful because that's what he's going to be up against because they're not hiding it and they're saying it and just an fyi i i absolutely love think about that he said i have nothing but utter contempt for the virtue signaling evil warmongers guys a lot of these neocons and all these people that are in charge love war okay who push their endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict may you burn in hell bro he hates them so much and i don't know Guys, and you want to talk about algorithm?

53:56Just going really quick to the other story, just to sprinkle it into here. I clicked on one, Jeff, one Ukrainian trench fighting Russia thing. One of them. My entire feed became a Russia-Ukraine war. If you have a stomach, guys, we're not going to show it. Go put soldiers, special forces. They are killed. I'm not joking. Ten people dead like that as if it's nothing. They have people. Ukraine is doing conscription. Guys, they're just going up to fathers and sons in the street while the mother and the wives are screaming and crying, putting them in a van. They disappear and they put them on the front line.

54:33And I saw 60-year-old men. They're doing training. They're, like, pushing a guy to go show and to get murdered. And I also saw a guy with Down syndrome. I saw a 25-year-old with Down syndrome sitting in there in a trench. Okay? So I'm happy that Elon is doing this. I have never, with Zelensky, guys, from the beginning, I know the deal. I know what it is. I know it's all about freaking the money laundering and everything, and people were in the pins. And remember that time that it was all Ukraine? It's ridiculous, bro. It's ridiculous. I know that they're lasting in this war, and they're putting up a fight, but millions are dying because of this one guy's attitude.

55:09And I love that Elon has taken this stance, bro. He's highlighting the hypocrisy here. And the hypocrisy is basically you can't criticize the war unless you're a Russian supporter. And what he's basically saying is, look, no. The answer is, okay, you want me to support Ukraine, which I'm doing, by the way, more than any human. You want me to support Ukraine, but to what end? What is the end here? The end is, this is like the psalm. This is like the First World War where people just die for nothing. So, okay, if I'm going to find an off-ramp, how would that not be better? Yes, and you have to incentivize the side you're sometimes aiding.

55:42Well, who has a plan for Ukraine to win this thing? Nobody. Nobody. So the answer is, okay, this thing is going to go on and on and on forever. Literally. That's not a plan. That is, as he's correctly calling out, that is freaking evil. That is utterly evil. Even just in general, I think the demonstration of control and power that he has is so threatening to the world. When they see a situation like this, they see that one man can affect the outcome of a war, it's too threatening. They can't let him have the power that he has. We should be concerned about that, too. Let me tell you what I would do.

56:15He's above them. Let me tell you what I would do if I'm sitting there thinking. I would make a list of top 50 people who they're going to target. Whoever the top 50 people are that they're going to target, I'm going to have a meeting with those guys. So one of the conversations. Is Trump still number one? No, he's not. Elon's number one. He's down the list. But I call this after Trump won officially his number two. I called it the day after, November 50. If you guys remember on the podcast, Elon's officially number one of the most targeted person that they're going to attack. But let me tell you what happened.

56:47You know the girl I had from Facebook, Frances Haugen, the girl that was the whistleblower? You know what's the most interesting thing she said to me, Tom? She said Facebook had a program called CrossCheck. I don't know if you've heard of CrossCheck or not. Here's what CrossCheck was. It was a program that they would look at all the major influencers on Facebook, the people that would get the most reaction. And they had all this. You were on that. She says, you're on that list. She's telling me this. I said, great. But he says, let me tell you what project they put me on for me to look at. I said, what is it?

57:19She said, they put me on a project to go look at all the influencers on Instagram and Facebook of whom would get the highest percentage of likes from people that didn't like him or her. Meaning, so let's just say you're a conservative. Why are so many liberals liking what he or she is saying? Or you're a liberal. Why are so many, like Bill Maher is a high score because Bill Maher is a liberal who a lot of conservatives say, oh, wow, I agree with what he has to say here, right? So they looked at those to say these people became the highest tier people on Facebook we were looking at, okay? Because they're reasonable.

57:55They're reasonable. He says once we identify these people, we gave them a bigger audience. because others were willing to listen to this person because this person was fair, right? She's telling me this. This is an insider at Facebook at Meta, right? Okay. If I'm a conservative or if I'm somebody that's independent and is worried about what the enemy is going to do to America, I'm making a top 50 list of who those people are. I'm having a meeting with them, and I'm telling them, hey, guys, here's a 12-point checkpoint that you need to go through. You need this. You need this. You need this. You need this.

58:31You need this. Here's what you need moving forward. If you don't, you're going to be targeted because they're going to be. Right now, you're hearing what's going to happen if they win elections. Number one, lawfare Trump officials, they're going to go after Hexley. You saw what Hillary Clinton said. We're going to go after him. We're going to go after Trump. They're going to pack the Supreme Court. How much do you think they're salivating that Lula's about to flip the other four seats and they're going to be 9-2? The Democrats are sitting there salivating. She's talking about Hillary Clinton saying impeaching.

58:57Then they're going to go after Elon. They're going to go after SpaceX. They're going to go after X. They're going to go after all of that stuff. They're going to go after Trump's family. The whole thing with voter ID, they'll go even deeper with that. You know they're going to open up the borders. Every one of these things is going to take place. So what happens with the election? Gas prices being high and the Iran war could end up being the reason why many of these guys win because you saw in 2008 when it says 64 % of people vote purely based on the gas prices. Think about it. That's crazy. Sixty-some percent of people vote mainly based off of gas prices.

59:35They look at the gas prices. You know what? You look at their 401K. You know what? They look at – you know what? That's how simple they're making their decision. Childcare. Childcare is becoming a major. And so to me, this is a little bit concerning. I think the fight's about to get real right after midterms. Intensity is going to go high. Manipulation's going to go high. Gamification's going to go high. And you better be ready because their tools are getting better tools. And now they're openly saying if Charlie was a target, you don't think behind closed doors. You don't think behind closed doors with cameras off.

1:00:05Do you really think behind closed doors the conversation hasn't been had about how to take out Elon? What do you think? And how do you think those conversations sound? I don't think it's a conversation. I think there's a plan. I think there's an active plan. And you know what the plan is? And I think there's an active plan from a couple angles. So how do you, so, so. Well, politically, they want to go after. Speculate the plan. Speculate them. When I had Ibrahim, Raymond Ibrahim on, and I was watching one, the speech given by Jack Higgs. Who's the pastor, Tom? Jack. Hayford? No, not Jack Hayford.

1:00:37He's a different pastor. Connor, can you pull up the pastor I talked to about that I sent it to you? Is it Hibbs? Higgs? Something like that. And he talked about a concept called the RPM. This is the one. Concept of RPM. You know what RPM is? He says Muslims, when they go take over countries, they do it with RPM. First, they come in, they say, we're just a peaceful religion. R, peaceful religion. P, they get political power, then they use the military against you. It's a brilliant strategy. And they're doing it right now in America, by the way. First, you come in, we're just a peaceful religion.

1:01:10Then, let's run for office. You've seen what Abdul El-Said, he was at the mosque doing what he's doing. And then at the end, they're going to be able to control the military again. So say something. Do something. What are you going to do now? Yep. With Elon, you don't think they're sitting there saying, hey, these kids were heroes, what they did to Charlie. Look what they did to Charlie. And then all of a sudden, someone's going to imagine if you take out the most powerful. You don't think there's brainwash mechanisms for getting young kids to be convinced on how to do that? Oh, of course. You've already seen people that were doxing his jet traveling all over the place.

1:01:41You don't think there's a million and one ways to do it? There are so many creative ways. Right now, you could be at a jet. somebody can go drone goes up boom he's in there done done easy so you just it to me to me i don't know how much money he spends on security but the guy has to spend 100 million dollars on security on himself for sure for sure he's spending immense has to be at the highest level for him because he is officially the number one target that they're going to go after and i think there's 50 names i think he's at the top of the list i think with trump they're like yeah we'll move on And then so they're going to have to go after the kids.

1:02:18So they're going to have to target Eric Trump, Don Jr. All of that stuff will be the next thing they'll do. But let's go to this next story where Obama goes to Michigan to campaign for Abdul El-Sayed. So this is, I'll show you two of the clips. One of them is him at a mosque here, Abdul El-Sayed, who is campaigning and trying to win people's votes. Again, this is the race in Michigan that he's going up against Mike Rogers. I also want to show you a clip by Brett Baer, but let's watch this first. Go for it. You can go in and vote tomorrow. So make sure you, your wife, your husband, if you're a sister in the back, your mother, your father, your children, if they're voting age, your neighbors.

1:03:02Vinny, where is this? This is in a mosque. People are praying actively. I'm pretty sure this is in, I don't know if it's Dearborn or. People are actually praying. People are still praying. 11 days from now, the third day of November We cannot miss the opportunity Again We have a responsibility Look at this guy right here, he's actively praying And we have that opportunity So this is when? I think this was Friday or Saturday But under federal law, under the Johnson Amendment Religious organizations That are tax exempt They can't endorse political candidates And you can't use their resources to campaign for them So I hope the IRS is paying attention And mind you, that applies for everybody.

1:03:45Christian, Muslim, everybody. You can't do this. And you could tell actively praying. Look at the guys in the front. They have no idea what the hell is going on. They just brought him in there to say, make sure you, your mother, your kids, their kids, everybody's kids, everybody has kids. Make everybody go in there and vote. Is it fair to say that Bret Baier is a fair guy? Absolutely. Okay. And this is why they use him. So here's Bret Baier having a very peaceful conversation with Abdul El-Sayed two weeks before the end of the midterms. Look how calm, collected he is when he's asking a question, and look how Abdullah's side reacts.

1:04:17Go forward. Mike Rogers has been really hitting this Muslim Brotherhood thing. I know you don't want to talk about your family and the history there, but he goes back to his campaign sites. No, no, no, no. Let me just stop there. You are asking this question to raise a question about whether or not I have dual loyalty. This is specific. My loyalty will be to the Constitution of the United States. Thank you. And as every senator who's ever served, I will swear an oath to that constitution. I'm not interested. I'm not interested. In any of the back and forth, the 2012 statements. In a ridiculous 2012 statement, in a letter, you're going to pull that out of context.

1:04:51You're going to ask questions about my allegiance. Let me just be clear. This is Roger's campaign. I'm just asking you about that. Don't be Roger's campaign. I'm asking a question. Be a journalist. So as a journalist, if you're asking the question about my allegiance to the constitution, I have never been a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. I never will be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. I am interested in serving the United States. I'm interested in swearing an oath to the Constitution that every senator has worn oath to. Absolutely not. For anybody out there, put all that nonsense religious BS.

1:05:18Do you? Look at how angry he is. And it's not like Brett Baier. That's what Brett Baier. Brett Baier. I get if it's somebody else, but Brett Baier? I want everybody to understand this. It's not even up for debate tying everything to his family. Not even him. They openly say it is its own sister says it. Tweeting it, loving it. Yes. And other extremist comments. It's not just some isolated one tweet from 20 years ago. She's on video talking about it in depth. But you know what drives me crazy? People are so desperate to have another Democrat. They're literally willing to say, I don't care that your whole family is Muslim Brotherhood, that they support them, they've worked for them.

1:05:59Do you understand, guys? it's a terrorist organization how stupid do you have to be not to understand that and when people are like this is what drives me crazy bro when you call it out, oh you hate all Muslims no no, if I see something that smells like a duck looks like a duck and walks like a duck and I go hey, that looks like a freaking duck and you go oh that means you hate all ducks no no, I'm calling you a duck you look like a freaking duck Pat and this guy, I'm telling you right now are you going to show the Obama going on stage with him Pat? yeah if you want to pull that up by the way, read the tweets from his book court.

1:06:33Who is this one? Is this his sister? Okay, my family has long been Muslim Brotherhood, MB, but I've always felt that it has navigated the political sphere poorly and destructively. Okay, praying for all the families that support the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Lie low, stay safe. Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood. She actually took the time to spell it all out. during the early 70s while she was in college. And here's the thing. If they ask you, this is the right answer. Yes, unfortunately, my sister, my mother, her mother, everybody, they're involved.

1:07:12That's not me. And then condemn it, say it's disgusting. Yes. Because that's the big problem I have. There's like this weird standard, double standard for Democrats where it's like their family can have these crazy ties. They could have said terrible things in the past, and they're like, how dare you ask me about that? Like you're the bad guy for just bringing it up, which is such a weird standard in politics. Like he's acting like he's the victim here. Address these tweets. Address what's been said on video. Address your past. He's like, I'm a capitalist. You're like, well, there's no history whatsoever here.

1:07:43No, you're not. He literally goes out and says it. But you're like, is there a possibility you're lying? Like if I look at your life and I look at everything you stand for and everything you say and everything you've done. So I just don't get why it's like you could do anything, say anything now if you're a Democrat. And just because they want a Democrat to be in power, they will overlook anything, anything. Yeah, this goes back to Salinsky again and justify the means. And what is happening here is that there are three types of polls that are going out right now. There are fake right wing polls that are designed to dissuade voter turnout on one side.

1:08:17There's fake left wing polls that are out there designed to dissuade voter turnout. Now, there are polls on that's first side, the dissuade polls. The second side is the fundraising polls that deliberately misstate a race and show it it's close, trying to bring last dollars in from each side. So those are deceptive fundraising polls. And then there are the internal polls. And the internal polls are usually accurate and they don't get leaked out much. Why? Because they are making their strategy based on it. The internal polls on both Rogers and El-Sayed have been showing that this race is tightening up.

1:08:51There are certain people, especially up in the UP, Upper Peninsula, that are freaking out because they're seeing the truth about El Syed. Will that be enough to carry over from places like Dearborn, Michigan, with that demographic we just saw? Yeah, very hard. That's not going to move. But this race, forget about what you see here on Calci. Remember, Calci is people putting bets following the polls, and there's super PAC money that are in some of the predictions. Yeah, of course. It says the prediction markets generally come out to be correct in the end that historically I want to see how correct they are now because super PACs supposedly are moving them.

1:09:30Now then, here's the other angle to look at here. Very simply, if you're El Syed and your internal poll says this could be a point, a 1 % race, and a big turnout in the rural areas could be trouble for you, what do you do? You sound like Captain Michigan. He's doing exactly what you would expect him to do to deceive the independents in the middle that are sitting there wavering on the edge. Because what it tells you is that this is close. If it wasn't this way, you know what we'd hear, Pat? Wasn't this year? It would be El-Sayed saying, we're riding the white horse to victory. We are going forward.

1:10:13But he's not doing that. He looks stressed. His blink rate is up. He goes and talks to Brett Baer. He doesn't even want to let him have those questions. No. This race is closer than it look. El Syed is leading it, I believe, by barely a point. And a big turnout could bring this race home the other way. Did you guys see the video? This is why he looks like Captain Michigan, and he's basically lying about his position. And he's struggling to connect with black voters because during his primary, he only received 31 % of the vote. And instead of – this is the funniest part. instead of trying to figure out why they're not sold on him the democrats did their pandering three-point plan so first pat they filled him eating spicy doritos outside of a gas station because that's really hood that's hood of him he's like yeah i like the smell then he filled himself ordering fried chicken look at this ordering fried chicken from a black waitress while being interviewed by a black woman nothing says i'm cool in the black community then ordering fried chicken but how how pandering is that and then he says to her yeah all the middle easterns in my neighborhood who treat black people like crap, I'm not cool with that because they all do.

1:11:17If you've ever been to Dearborn and all that stuff, they're not cool with that type of attitude. And then number three... The African-American community walked down the street to this household with Muslim children that were delinquents that had mugged a female young black woman and he said, dude, we're not doing that here. Remember that? They rolled right up on it. And then the third one, which is the best one, which I know we're going to go into, you bring Barack Obama who rolls up his sleeves and his button-down shirt like he's ready to get down and dirty and starts dropping his horrors. Yeah.

1:11:46Hey, y 'all. Hey, y 'all. How y 'all doing? How y 'all doing? It's such a fake pandering fit. Like, it's so horrible. What's going to work? That's the question. I think it's going to work. And it will unfortunately work. And you know what? How long is this clip? I don't want to watch. I don't want to watch this one. I want to show the Obama. Is this the one where he's just eating Christ? No, can I explain what they're doing, Connor? I think the Obama clip. Do you have the Obama clip? It's him walking out there and shaking his hand and I'm all by like, that's the cool. Oh, this is just him bashing everything about Trump.

1:12:12But he walks out with El-Sayed. He walks out and says, but it's all good. We don't even need to... There's a really troubling video of El-Sayed being asked from a kid whose family's from Iran if he's willing to condemn the IRG. Yeah, and he wouldn't do it. Yeah, and he wouldn't do it. He does want to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the thing. You're absolutely right, Elon, that he could lock up this election tomorrow if he did exactly what you said. All those people in the Upper Peninsula who might have doubts about him, if he said, my family is mother and brotherhood, I can speak. They are Muslim brotherhood.

1:12:45I condemn them. If he did that, he would have changed a ton of minds. Why won't he do that? Because he is who he is. And he doesn't feel like he has to. When Obama sits here and says they're going to paint you as radical, that is El Saeed saying, yeah, I'm freaking radical. They're not even painting him as radical. They don't even have it. He's trying to thread a needle here, and it's very telling. And by the way, but let me tell you, look at Obama's fire, though. Go ahead. Imagine the, because you already got a pretty good senator right here. Imagine the power duo of Abdul and Alyssa. You've got a Muslim man.

1:13:22You've got a Jewish woman fighting for you in the United States Senate. That's something Michigan, you can be proud of. But Obama can talk. He's full of shit. Yeah, but he can talk. Yeah, of course he can. Yeah, yes he can. One of the worst presidents we've ever had. Literally. By the way. Literally. The main question is, is it going to work? Is it going to work? It's not going to work. As you said before, people are voting based on other ideas, and so all the Democrats have to do is just be somewhat normal enough that you don't raise it. And get in there. That's exactly the game plan. You know what bothers me, though?

1:14:01And it's not like they're winning. Me and Humberto had this conversation. It's Republicans are losing, okay? If you think of Amy Acton and all these people, Pat, Think of Abdul Sayyad, who I never heard of until this year. What are the other major races? Tallarico and all these people. Where are the Republicans going up against them? They're people that have no fire. They have no drive. They're relying on the Trump endorsement, which I'm sorry to tell you, two years ago at work, it ain't working anymore. Okay? They have, like, what happened to that freaking fire? Well, there's also fractures on the right right now, which are not.

1:14:34And I understand that. Well, rightly so. It's like, bro, gas is up. All the stuff. I understand that, but where are the people that are even saying their policies? Mike Rogers, Ken Paxton? Who are these people? Tallarico is literally standing there and saying, we want transing your kids. God loves trans kids. If he's not bleeding false prophet, bro, and just lie after lie, there's a montage of him lying. Let me go to the next story. I don't want to stay on this story for too long. I just want to show you this. Byron Donalds is out there talking to this guy, and he tries to be respectful by calling him sir and hell breaks loose and the lady behind him loses his mind her mind watch this go ahead sir as a member of i'm not a sir i'm a man as a member of congress i voted to actually release those files that's number one

1:15:27what the fuck is what the fuck is There's a woman there. What the fuck is happening? I said, where is the trans agenda? Sir, we are going to make sure. Sir, again? Okay, ma 'am. Fuck off. That's enough. You've belittled her enough. You've belittled her enough. This is such a joke. Best moment in Byron Donald's campaign. Period. End of story. He just said, sir. He said it twice. You say it again, sir. Okay, ma 'am. I hear it in my ears. My ears, I hear a sir. Yeah, when you talk, I hear a search. It's so crazy. He missed an opportunity to get two points in the polls and just knock that guy out.

1:16:15You know what's funny, by the way? They thought that knock his ass out. Is that the same guy? Is that him? No, have you seen that video? Have you seen that video? It's the funniest video in the world. The funniest video, yeah. But it looks like him. It's very, very close. I don't know if he lives in Florida. Is that the same guy? Yes or no? Put a thumbs up. It's down. Okay, it's not. I don't think it's the same guy, but it's the same reaction and it's the same psychosis. And what's also fascinating is the trans person thought by calling Byron Mam that he would be a – like they saw it as an insult.

1:16:43He just doesn't care. It's like, okay. It's not like Byron Donald's fault. Like stop being lazy. If you're going to go for it, go for it. I agree with you. Change your voice. Like Thailand, you can't tell. You have to look at the veins on their hands. This guy is just – it's Mam. Like shut up. So you don't appreciate the lazy. I don't appreciate it. The lack of commitment. I kind of got to bring the race. Commit to the act. No, I got to bring the race into it. It's white. Trans are the laziest out of all of them. Because you'll see other races. And they, like I said, you know, tie. Latinos, you're like, ay, mira mi amor.

1:17:16They turn around. They're like, hey, Raul. You're like, yo, at least try to sell me, bro. It's ma 'am. Come on, bro. I'm sure he's watching a podcast. And hopefully he'll take your counsel of what you're telling them. Go for the gusto. Yeah, go for the whole thing. All in or nothing. All in or nothing. If you're not doing full stuff. She's going to block a punch with her face. Palmer Lucky genetically engineers war dogs for the military. I mean, honestly, when I read this, what page is this thing on? When I read this, I'm like, is this a joke? Is this a joke of what he's talking about? No, he is.

1:17:51So the woolly mammoth billionaire's new startup is genetically engineering war dogs for the military. Tom, have you looked at this or no? Yes. Okay. Yes, of course. Is this a good idea or a bad idea, Tom? Look, he's out there to build tomorrow's weapons. And if tomorrow's weapons is genetically engineered dogs to go do certain things. No, no, no. Think about it. It's like, wait a minute. He's out there trying to use anything. So if you create genetically engineered dogs that are programmed to do things and you give them. So what if, remember, you can train dogs. By the way, the German Shepherd is the one to train.

1:18:34You look at the way they've trained them for police work. They've trained them for, you know, bomb sniffing work. So what if the dogs with VR goggles that can be given commands are basically 140 pound, 40 mile an hour, you know, field interceptors that saves a human life, but it uses the technology? They're going to do this. There was a movie a long, long time ago. I think it was called Day of the Dolphin. And they were trying to turn dolphins into bomb deliverers. Right? It goes way back. It goes way back. This is like 19—I was young. It's like 1975. Oh, 73. Okay. And so there it is. They trained a dolphin to kill the president of the United States.

1:19:18Oh, my gosh. See? Because—so the concept of using animals as secret agents is now just coming to the battlefield. And Palmer Luckey says, why couldn't we genetically engineer dogs and provide them with electronic measures so that we could control them and incentivize them to be weapons? You know what Palmer Luckey said? Here's the line. Let me give you the line that he said. The company is called Warhound, 11.5 billion dollar project. He said, man's best friend deserves man's best tech. I love this story. The startup is in stealth up until now, has raised$200 million at a$1.2 billion valuation.

1:19:56With an In-Q-Tel and ARC investment among the investors, we have dwindling supplies in Europe, and it's highly competitive with America's adversaries, adding there's a 55 % chance a dog won't make it past the military standards. Lamb and Lucky decided to clone the military's top-performing dogs and enhance them, reducing hypnosplasia or increasing their sense of smell. This is the sci-fi feature we were promised. Warhound has biobanked its first sell lines and expects its first dog in the coming months with development and two years. Cloning could lower costs by providing more consistency, says Joshua Morton, founder of K9 Tactical.

1:20:35But he says cloning can compound genetic issues between generations. I hope they understand what it is that they are doing. Where are you at with this, Snyder? What, no velociraptors here? Oh, we're heading there. I promise you. No, to me, this smells pump and dump. This smells like, hey, we need a new story. Pump and dump. Let's face it here. So you don't believe this is going to be happening? No. I mean, come on. How much is it going to cost to clone dogs versus something as much more efficient and productive as to create dog robots, right? I mean, you're not going to have genetically engineered dogs that are a cost-effective solution versus…

1:21:14Okay, can you do me a favor? Run a poll, you know, whether this is a good idea or a bad idea. I think it's just meant to create dogs around the company. Good idea, bad idea. Because, you know, our military, you know, the Air Force in 1994, Conor, can you bring it up? They proposed something called the gay bomb. You want to talk about freaking warfare? Highly effective if you have it. Bro, can you imagine that? Highly effective. And guys are like, yes, like that. That's actually nicer because you're making them gay and they don't want to fight. They want to just go shopping with you. They don't want to kill you.

1:21:45But, bro, these are just ideas that are people just coming out for warfare. Imagine the threat of the gay bomb. You tell a country, you're like, if you attack us, we will use the gay bomb. They're like, we'll bomb California. And they're like, we're already gay, dude. We're going to bomb San Francisco. Like, too late. We already got it. The headline there is the most insane headline of any news article I've read. Woolly Mammoth. What does it say? The Woolly Mammoth Billionaire's News Startup. Post-traumatic stress disorder. I'd like to wrap one thing up here. This thing is real, very real. The lead investor on this is Sean McGuire of Sequoia.

1:22:15Anybody who knows Sean McGuire of Sequoia, he is the venture capitalist that wrote very long posts. He supports Elon. He said, there he is. And he's the guy who's out on an island as this very independent, leaning right venture capitalist in a liberal suss pool. And he is the one that led the investment in this. This is very real. This is not a pump and dump. It's a real company. It's really happening. And if you look at Sean McGuire, he's the guy that tells you don't sleep on Elon Musk. And look at the reportization of Starlink and it'll tell you all you needed to go. If you follow this guy, you see it.

1:22:50This is real. We can see the humor in part of it that we're poking, but this is very real Sequoia dollars that have gone behind it. This is happening. To get some attention, we're going to engineer war dogs. There's obviously value in making dogs that have less hip dysplasia. This is not about dogs going to war. This is about something else. Bomb sniffing capabilities. Look, I'm happy we're entering the era of every 80s movie that I saw becoming reality. Terminator 2 is happening. We got Tyrannosaurus Rexes soon coming, Wooly Mammoths. Now we have war dogs. There was a movie in the 80s, by the way.

1:23:28I think it was with Corey Haim. I can't remember. But there was a dog that was genetically modified exactly this story to be more intelligent. And he gets the dog, and the whole movie is about him with the dog. They thought it was just a runaway. By the way, just so you know, 66 % of our audience said bad idea. They love dogs. 34 % said it's a good idea. They know cost-effective solutions when they see it. Yeah. 66 % are not with it. Yeah, right there. 66 % said, now it's 64 % said it's not a good idea. We'll see. We'll see what's going to happen with that. It doesn't sound like it's a gimmick.

1:23:59Next one here. Marco Rubio sends out a tweet. You know, it's just a regular tweet going out there. Hey, to everybody in Cuba, we got a message for you. You may want to get a hold of us. Like, you know, somebody slides in your DMs like, hey, what up, Vinny? This guy, go to his tweet. if you can just pull up the tweet, if you have maybe gold lord, it'll be in the story or not, of Marco Rubio. He flat out says, to those who seek to create positive change in Cuba, now is your time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few seize the opportunity to create the change you desire through a discreet partnership.

1:24:37What? Discreet partnership? You tweeted it. To use the word discreet. That's my whole point. That's my whole point. yeah in the same tweet it's crazy awesome right how do you feel about this well that's it almost feels like you know those ads that seem completely normal until the last line where they're diarrhea vomiting yeah just solve it with this one thing it's so random to tweet on a global platform to do something discreetly uh obviously there's uh they're just trying to take advantage of the situation in cuba but uh it is potentially dangerous to dissidents to start putting up public message.

1:25:10Tom, where are you at with this? Good idea or bad idea? I think this is effing great. This is wonderful. He's basically telling them, say, listen, the disappointment of failed promises, Kennedy, JFK, that means JFK. Let me make that point. Corruption and the privilege live only a few under Castro sees the opportunity to create the change you desire through a discreet partnership with the CIA. What he's saying is all the company men that are already down there, partner up with them. We're going to help you out here. This won't take long. Look what we did in Venezuela. If you want positive change, now is the time.

1:25:47He's telling the dissidents to organize with the help of the CIA, and he's telling them that the CIA is already there because you can discreetly partner with the guys, like the guy sitting over there at the table who keeps asking if there's peppers in the cuisine. No, there's no peppers in Cuban cuisine. There's just plantains. Those are the CIA guys who haven't been to Cuba before. Partner with one of them, spark it, and let's get going. That's what he is talking about, and I think it's great. I think he's telling them, green light! I think the only thing missing from that tweet was if there was a phone number at the end.

1:26:24Yeah, that's how I feel about it. Call us at 1-800-F-Castro or something like that. That would have made it better. 1-800-CHANGE-NOW! I think this is more, this is a dual purpose tweet. This is just as much a message to the Cuban government. Yeah. This is also the CIA in Latin America, right? Not a great history. Remember they had the Domino's Pizza programs in the 1990s? Regime change in 30 minutes or the next one's free. It was just the CIA. I don't know. I don't know. I kind of like it. I kind of like it. I like it because it's in the open. You have better tools today. I'm sure in the past this would have been very weird, but to think about how they're doing it today is just reach out to us and work with us.

1:27:09Is it also a statement to Cuba? Is it also a way to get that person to be extremely paranoid? Is that also a way of doing it? Can you imagine if all of a sudden the message is, hey, come turn against your government, come be a whistleblower, come work with us? There's many. I mean, look, he just went to it, and he got a lot. Can you go to the tweet? Find the tweet, and I want to see what comment section people are saying. Who's with it? Who's against it? The actual tweet. Go to his handle, Marco Rubio. I have a feeling people are going to be like, oh, you guys just want to take over more and install your government?

1:27:40That's definitely going to happen. That's definitely going to happen. And guess what? I love Rubio. Which I understand that. It's like, I mean, you're not even hiding it. Keep going lower to see if he has it to do. It's right there. Let's go to the comments section a little bit. First one has to be negative. Let's see what it says. I love that. I love that. Him on the couch. General Alissimo. We're in a very weird point in history. For real, the CIA, the agency that's been decades interfering in other countries without asking is now publicly asking Cubans to partner up. Hey, Cuban people, please contact us so we can make your government our puppet.

1:28:10God admire the honesty. Can I collab with the CIA? Can I collab with the CIA? F you, bro. Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations. And then who's this next one here? The United States is not the champion of freedom. It pretends to be the burial of first and misery. Okay, so you know what people are saying. Of course, you're having a lot of psyops. You are the most responsible and corrupt government in U.S. history. I'm no genius, but offering a discreet part. That's what's amazing. It's the wording of it. On a social media platform, it doesn't seem wise. Do you remember what happened to those brave Iranians who were told help is on the way?

1:28:40So, you know, I mean, this was, they knew this is the reaction you were going to get. Now, let's see if it's going to work out or not. But if he's tweeting this, how long, how long before Cuba is done? What do you think the timeline is? How long before Cuba's done is one of the announcements they make. You put three months, you put six months, you put 12 months. Where do you put it, Tom? I believe that there's going to be change in Cuba by the end of first quarter. Six months. So you're at six months. Is that where everybody's at? By the way, the election does a lot of things. You're not there.

1:29:10Where are you at? Sorry, Tom. It's one of those things where it's much more complicated than it seems like Iran. Not quite the same situation, but I think Cuba, not to say to their credit, but they have shown a remarkable resilience, which is unfortunate. it, but because they've shown remarkable resilience, I think it's going to be one of those things. So this is Iran, this is Venezuela on the level of difficulty. This was easy, this is Iran. Where's Cuba? You're closer to the Iran. Oh, really? You have it here? Wow. How could they hurt us? Not us. It's not us. It's the ability to control an internal population through means that they've developed over decades.

1:29:47Remember, the biggest concern with Cuba isn't like, what can Cuba do to us? It's not with Cuba. It's proxy. It's what can Russia do through Cuba? It's what can China do through Cuba. This is not what Cuba can do to you. Cuba can't do anything to you. So we'll see. I mean, that is on the list of Rubio. And by the way, if Rubio pulls this off and this becomes his biggest thing and then comes time to announce. So imagine if he times it in a way where he's doing this and he's running for president. That's a big win. If he times it, if he's able to time it. I mean, he's going recruiting with the CIA.

1:30:23So he's telling everybody what discreetly he's going to be doing. Let's go to the next one. More than 400 ,000 people protested across France, and you got 1 ,300 people that got arrested. Let me go to this story here. It's chaotic. If you turn on the news and you watch what's going on in France, it looks like a movie. It does not look like a real thing, but it is a real thing of what's happening to Europe. And by the way, they keep saying these students who are upset, It's just students covered with a mask, but they're just students who's doing this. Clashes erupted in Paris as a mass march drew to a close Saturday with more than 400 ,000 people rattling across France over school funding and soaring living costs in a fresh challenge to Macron.

1:31:08Police made nearly 1 ,000 arrests. It's at 1 ,300 now. The Paris march began peacefully a week after widespread rioting. This is ABC, by the way, and looting. But near the endpoint in eastern Paris, mask protesters hurled objects and fireworks at police who answered with tear gas. Can you pull up some of those video clips for us to show them? And by the way, this is what ABC said. Can I read the headlines of ABC? Go back to it, please. More than what I'm saying. Macaron has Paris clashes. Okay, go for it. Go to the clip. Watch this, folks. Peaceful. Students. No, no, these are all peaceful students.

1:31:39Yeah, they love. Not happy with the C he got on his math. I'm not with teachers, Pat. They didn't go on a field trip. They're not trying to steal. It's just. No. And by the way, this is like the least of videos. Oh, yeah. Everything's being set on fire. They chose, I have a feeling some of the guys in the back are France allegiance. And you know they're French rioters because in L.A., they would have knocked that window out in the first shot. Look at this guy. Look at this guy. Detroit? Nah. Look at this. Amateurs. Je m 'appelle Vincent. They seem a little outnumbered. Slightly. Slightly outnumbered.

1:32:105 to 2 ,000. Oh, look at how pissed off these students are. Yeah. Oh, look at that student. Jeff, where are you at with this? How big of a deal is this? Look at that software engineer. Tell us what's going on. There's a couple things here. One is that, you know, Europe is a mess. Europe has been a mess for a long time, but I don't think people realize how much of a mess Europe actually is. And I mean that in a bunch of different ways, but also economically. Politically, Europe is also a mess, which is why you see some of these European governments that are hanging on by a thread talking about, oh, we're going to be at war with Russia.

1:32:44So there's a lot of different things here. Again, you go to that chart. That's, you know, I pull this out all the time. People really don't realize how bad economically Europe is and how bad off they've been for many, many years. So there is an undercurrent of dissatisfaction, economic dissatisfaction, that the left has tapped into. Most of the people on the right have, up until recently, basically ignored. So there is an economic justification for why there are so many angry people. This is not about classrooms and teachers and anything like that. It's really about the system really doesn't work.

1:33:15It doesn't really work in Europe for pretty much anybody except for those at the top. And with the political situation being as precarious as it is, you have the Germans who are on the cusp of seeing AFD take over, which for most of the German establishment would be a nightmare proposition. Basically, the governments, the establishment governments in Europe are seeing this as an existential threat. So what do you do when you see an existential threat? you find an external enemy, which would be Russia, and internally you go to the street theater. That's what the left has always been good at. We bring in a bunch of people to riot in the streets and make it seem like we need to maintain control of the situation so we don't need to go off into, we can't have Marine Le Pen be president of France.

1:33:57We can't have AFD in Germany. We need to make this more like we see throughout history whenever we get to these periods of extremism. But do you not think this is a little more organized than that? That's what I'm saying. This is not random. Yeah, it's not random. It's organized. What they're really good at is tapping into what is a legitimate grievance. But even the grievance. So Europe for a long time has had an identity crisis more than anything, I think, that's led to these economic downfalls, that's led to the migration policies we see. Like, you used to be proud to be European. They've started apologizing for being European.

1:34:32There's no, like, the strength that most of these countries had was, We talked about it just last week, but the whole Yuri Bezmenov approach to, you know, when he discussed how you demoralize and destroy a nation, you don't attack it. You'd spend decades just literally breaking down all the foundational values that those countries have. So we've seen that happen over decades now in Europe. Well, that's what the left did. The left did it. So now what they're seeing is their experiment is in danger of coming apart. Yeah. But there's a whole other element here. There's also kind of like a hybrid, you know, Islamo-Marxist collaboration happening.

1:35:09Like I said, you see at a lot of these riots the Free Palestine movement being chanted, which is just an odd phenomenon. How are you freeing Palestine? Because they're going to be generic. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Because they have no identity. What's our topic today we're protesting? Oh, let's bring the stuff up. Yeah, but I don't even think it's about bringing the other stuff up. I think, again, it's an infiltration tactic. Yes, I agree. So the issue here is they built – what they were trying to build was a European leftist experiment. We're making this European unity to this European-wide system.

1:35:42It didn't work. Now it's in danger of falling – Why didn't it work? Because the Brits refused to play, and the Germans suddenly realized – all the German taxpayers realized, wait a minute. We're paying for everything. We're the bank. We're the industrial power. We're the bank. And those two things happened, and then the Germans really wanted to be mostly German. And the French wanted to be mostly French. So underneath the EU, you had literally 60 percent of each country. I know exactly what you're talking about. I've read about it. We're like sitting back, Pat, saying, you know, we're part of the EU, but I really want to be mostly French.

1:36:16I want to be mostly German. And the Brits were we don't want to be anything until a drunk blonde guy got elected and said Brexit. it. So away we went. Now we come back here and look at what happened since COVID. What happened was a wave of dilution occurred with all of the unbridled invasion. And look at the boats that came into Germany with all of that. And then even Germany goes, time out. Most of these guys are bad guys. Germany discovered it first and started freaking out the other way. Now you had legitimate protests started about schools and affordability and these were co-opt absolutely co-opt by antifa and people that wanted to insert this into it and the people that are running to the front that are being filmed are those including the palestinian movement that's not the majority the majority of this 60 percent of these protests were people and they spread to leon and marseille over the weekend Spain is now the next 60 % of it Pat was legitimate protest over schools, affordability and what happened is the left said jump and all of the rest of them jumped and they moved pallets of bottles pallets of bricks we saw it everybody's wearing black who got the memo on this?

1:37:32this is organized it's the same playbook every time I remember running around with a leg it's not a leg, what is that? I'm a mannequin. And I will go get the other leg. Every single movement like this gets co-opted. So that's the thing, though. So their experiment was we'll create a democratic Europe that's left-leaning and has all the progressive ideals embedded in the state, and now it's being rejected. It didn't work, did it? It did not work. It was never going to work. They even called them pigs. I'm not being disrespectful for people listening. The IIGS, which is Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and things.

1:38:06That's right. In other words, in a world of socialism where we're all equal, they created the phrase pigs to point out to the economies that weren't pulling their weight. Wow, that's very socialist, isn't it? You're not pulling your weight. Just one last point. Okay, so what happens when that doesn't work? You tried democratically. It didn't work. So what do you do? Do you just give up and say, oh, the voters have shifted up from underneath me. I'm just going to go quietly into the night and let the European experiment die. What do you do? You ratchet up the pressure. By the way, that's an authoritarianism.

1:38:39You like the fuse on the descent. Did you see what Dominic Tarjinsky said on the clip with Pierce? Did you guys see the exchange here? There's two of them. There's two of them. You can play this one. Maybe play the one I just sent you first, then we'll come to this one. Because the other one is slightly different. You see the one that I just sent you. I want you to play this. is Dominic is slowly becoming a massive, massive voice on his level of certainty with, did you guys see on the border, when Muslims are across the border of Poland, like, let us in, my wife, my kids, have you seen this clip?

1:39:13I haven't seen this. You're kidding me. It just happened last week. I'll find it free and send it to you. But watch this. Him and Pierce are talking about what's going on in Europe, and he asked the most interesting, simple question that Pierce didn't have an answer to. Go for it. Why are you trying to manipulate? Do you want to hear my answer, or do you want to speak to yourself? Well, that's what you understand. That's what you want to see. I'd like to ask you how many mosques were destroyed during this riots in Paris Do you know I don't know none and how many churches? Many I think the second and third generation of people who hates Christian values Christian culture Roman law Greek There's video of it.

1:39:52They want to destroy Europe and this is what we see our our Our experience is very clear. When they came to the Polish border, they were shouting Allah Akbar, throwing stuff on our soldiers. Then they made a spear and they killed one of our soldiers. Who are they then? Students, as you call the rioters and jihadists in Paris. You know, Polish nation is my family and we do have a right to protect ourselves. Islam is to take over. Why are so many people in America convinced it is? I guess we have eyeballs. You can pause it right there. You can pause it right there. So there's a border in Poland.

1:40:31Show this clip, the one I just sent you. Illegal migrants complain that they're not allowed to cross the Polish border. The guy's complaining. He says, we want to enter Poland, but they won't let us. They are threatening to harm us if we try to cross over. I want to go to Poland. Look at this. Not this one. I just texted to you guys. You have the one I just sent you in text. I send it to both of you guys. Just play the one that I sent you. That's the main clip. It's almost like you're watching and saying, this has to be a spoof. It's not. It's real. They're literally on the Polish border. Muslims on the other side are trying to cross the border to come to Poland.

1:41:05Poland's like, you're not welcome here. Like, no, but my wife is sick. I don't care what's going on with your family. You're not allowed here. Watch this. Go for it. This is the one. The borderline between Poland and Belarus. We want to go Poland, but they don't let us. and we are in the forest and it's very cold and it's raining. My wife is asleep. We cannot build a fire. We have children here. They will be dead in the morning, really. And we need help and it's very cold. My wife is sick. We need help. We want to go to Poland. Kill them. They don't let us. They said if I go to Poland, they will hit me.

1:41:48They will hit me. Or they will kill me. Really? I'm going to Poland, maybe Germany, maybe somewhere to have a good life. Yeah, to have a good life. Look at the rate of sexual assault that has increased in Europe in the places that are allowing. He read that Soros script so well. Yes. And I respect the hell out. Bro, Dominic Trudzinski is unapologetic and he's standing for him. Bro, and he's not going to bed. Do you know who's going to be at election night? Folks, I'm going to announce some of the people that are going to be there. But for some of you guys who are not, I'm telling you, whatever you do, Dominique's going to be there, especially a lot of it.

1:42:28Go to Boardroom Cigar Lounge. Fill out your information. Our guys will call you. Again, put the link below, guys, in the back so they can get it as well easier. Boardroomcigarlounge.com. We wanted a longer domain, but we chose a shorter one. Only 45 characters. With 75 opportunities, misspell it. But if you find a way, we did that intentionally because we wanted to make it difficult, right? Like a challenge. Only the best. And by the way, you know what's going to happen that night. There's going to be a moment of Dominique and Cenk. They're going to have their previous one. So we'll see what happened there.

1:42:57But we're going to have a good time. But you've got to love the way Dominique is so bold about, hey, you're not coming here. Lowest rape, lowest unemployment. They're having a great time doing their thing. Look, you don't belong in here. We don't want you to come over here. I think the number is so small on how many Muslims they have, and they're like, we're not going to do anything about it. And guess what? Like you said, the numbers don't lie. Lowest rape, lowest this, lowest that. I'm sorry, guys. It is what it is. And for all the people that are going out of there, like if you're a Muslim, stay in your country and make your country better.

1:43:30Why can't you do that? You know what's funny? If you had mass Christian migration to Islamic states that could change the demographics of Islamic states. truly turn them into Christian nations. They would never stand for it. Are you freaking kidding? Yeah, exactly. Are you crazy, bro? Yeah, they're going to start building churches in the Middle East. See what happens. See what happens in a predominantly Muslim... And demanding entitlements and demanding representation in the government. They want free kielbasa, freeze-awake beer. I just don't understand it. It's like common sense has been thrown out the window.

1:44:04It's making a comeback. It's a framework. It's the idea that, you know, the West owes all of these places because of years of years, centuries of colonization, slavery and all the ills of history. What about Arab colonization? Arab slave trade. No, that doesn't count. That doesn't count. It's only which went on, by the way, hundreds of years longer than Europeans. Common sense is this is not colonization and slavery. There's a city in Gaza called like the city of slaves. Literally, it's called like I don't know how to say it in Arabic. It's in the Bible a bunch of different places, too. So it's not like it's something that started in Germany or England or something.

1:44:4011 ,000 black or Afro-Palestinians have lived there. Yeah. And it's called the City of Slaves. Yeah. Harad al-Abi. At least they're honest about it. Similar to Rubio. It's like you're going to say, just say it. We're coming. All right. Let's go to the next story. Guys, for some of you that have kids who play soccer, I saw this clip. I'm going to show it to you at the end of the podcast because I'm going to show this to you at the end. I got two of them. One of this clip, one of us, Josh Allen, but we'll come to the end. And right now we want to have some high-end marriage, you know, relationship type of advice.

1:45:08The girl from Call Her Daddy said the following last week in a podcast, and people lost their minds. A lot of people defended her. Some people are saying, are you out of your flippant mind? Listen to this, folks. Go ahead. Really, really in our heads about, oh, my God, I feel like I'm, maybe I shouldn't leave this marriage because can I even get better? And the answer is always yes. The answer is always yes. And this idea that it's too late or you're too old or who are you to want more? That's patriarchy. That is crazy. We don't need it. Okay. So, Ilan, reaction to this one, Karl or Dan? Yeah, you know, it's an absurd position, but you open up Instagram and this is all you see.

1:45:51So, again, it's a form of indoctrination. As much as it's funny and we laugh at it, the dangers of it are very real. It's why I think we keep having to push back to faith. Because faith prevents this kind of mindset. And this isn't just an attack on marriage, which we see. Men are no longer incentivized to get married. You see a lot of men who are, and I have a lot of friends who have been in situations, and I think it's roughly 70 % of divorces are initiated by the women. We're creating a culture that doesn't want to stick things out. We're creating a culture that doesn't want to stand by their word.

1:46:23We're seeing less marriages, less children. The effects of it, the reality-based effects of it, are very prevalent in society right now. this destruction of all the traditional foundational values we had. So when I see something like this, I think it's sad. I think we need more messaging to push people, again, back to faith, back to church, back to the value and beauty of marriage, beauty of having children, and all those things. Tom, thoughts? I'll tell you, you know where this has to start? This has to start with strong families and strong men creating strong, resistant daughters who are ready to go out into this kind of a world.

1:46:56I teach my daughters two things, to reason and resist. I talk about those things with them constantly. Listen, you have to understand a spiritual foundation here, who you're created are in God, where your value is, and it's not in the number of likes. So give them strong value of who they are in Jesus Christ, and then you build on that. You must reason and resist. People will ask you to do things. Reason through it, resist temptation. And then when you see this, I don't worry about my daughter seeing this. They don't have social media accounts. They don't live for likes. But when they see this, I know what they both say.

1:47:30They say, who taught these women? That's what my daughters say. They say, where did they learn this? Have you heard some of the stuff this girl said before? I don't even want to play it. I've never watched. No, but that's it. You're not a regular viewer? All I've ever watched is what we showed, like that right there. If I showed you a clip of the stuff she says, there's a reason why the podcast does so well. Don't get it twisted. She got a few hundred million dollars for a reason. She openly says, have I ever on my first date, just think about what the dumbest thing she could say. Yes, I have.

1:48:04On the first date, like, but I'm mad at any of these. No way. Sorry, guys. Trust me, he had to say that. We're going to get the AI live translation. It's up there watching. Thank God he said it in that way. On the first date, like the stuff she says. Oh, my God. She's so brilliant. She's so amazing. Is this the lady that responded? Is she the one that was on the podcast? Sophia Bush. She said the Manosphere is big mad over something. One of their minimum claims I said on CHD. What's he called? Her daddy. But their rage bait quote isn't something I said. Nor did Alex. You're really telling on yourself on how much you hate a woman agency.

1:48:42You're allowed to outgrow your life. You're allowed to be unhappy and make a change. You're allowed to get what you thought you wanted and realize you don't adjust accordingly. You are a human being, not a checklist. A whole movement of trolls that want you submissive and small and miserable. Those people don't care about you. They just want you to fall in line if they want to chatter incessantly about. By the way, is she married? Is she happily married? That's what I want to know. Is she happily married? I thought Cooper just had a baby, right? No, no. I want to know who this lady is. Is she happily married?

1:49:13Her third one. Spouses. Oh, okay. That qualifies it. She's on her third marriage, and she's only 44. Yeah, you're qualified to say such a dumb thing. You just validated yourself. And by the way, let's put a timeline. The first one, Vinny, look at this. First one lasted one year. Second one lasted one year. She just got married a year ago. If you were doing a job interview and your last three jobs you were there for one year, how long do you think this one's going to last? Just think about what it is to be married to somebody like her. Every day. If you know what? There's something better for me out there.

1:49:47There's something better for me out there. My goodness. They don't see marriage the same way that we're talking about marriage here. They see marriage as a commitment to a single person for a period of time in which we agree to be. Well, then be honest. I'm okay with that. Exactly. But then why even get married? That's the point. You're signing a contract. You're also giving your word. No, the idea is a lot of it is just, you know, the trend nowadays, and it has been for a while, is everything is disposable. Everything is easy. Tom, what you were describing takes work. But beyond that, that's exactly right.

1:50:13We have to work. And that's why there will be these voices. These voices don't surprise me, nor do organizations willing to give them$100 million because they're monetizable because of a culture of lemmings. There's an audience. They're following them, and the audience is there. Huge audience, yeah. Exactly right. Guess what? My girls are going to be in the minority, and every family that I can touch and I can encourage is going to be in the unfortunate, tragic minority. But what's tragic is that they're a minority. What's not tragic is that they're strong enough to stand for the people that are going to be impacted by this.

1:50:44I don't think they're the minority. I think this is one of those issues where you're bombarded with that message to make you think. So you think there is— But 100 million— The stats don't back up that position. I'm not saying it's not a big audience. What percentage of women do you think subscribe to her thinking? What percentage of women do you think subscribe to this mindset? Okay, so I don't think they subscribe to that extreme of mindset, but I do think a lot of women in that position will leave a marriage when it gets tough or when the new shiny object is in front of them. And it goes both ways.

1:51:12Men will do the same thing. But not statistically to the same extent. There's a statistical reality there. And by the way, the incentive structure we've created as a society is for men to stay in marriages by and large and for women to leave marriages. And get half and get money and get the house. Because there's no downside to the woman. And I can't tell you how many friends who are guys I've seen lose custody of their children, just off an accusation some of them have lost their jobs, their custody, no proof. Even with proof coming out later that they were innocent. I know multiple cases like this.

1:51:45Recordings. So there's just such an incentive structure here to have women. There is. And by the way, this kind of goes to the story with Gen Zs. I don't know if you're seeing the Gen Z stuff. Gen Zs are old enough for driver's license, but they're not in a rush. I don't need to get a driver's license. I don't need to go. You know when I got my driver's license? I got my driver's license a week before I turned 16 years old in L.A. because when we came to the States, they made a mistake on my birthday, and they put 915 on my ID. My real birthday is October 18th, so I was able to get my driver's license.

1:52:12and I was a 16-year-old senior in high school. I couldn't wait to get a car. Of course. I went and took them. I'm like, no, I don't need a license right now. I can take my time. And also, they're ditching alcohol and they're ditching driving. So let me read this. And they're ditching marriage. And they're ditching having kids. And even meeting each other on a trip, hanging out with each other. So first of all, Corey Beatty, a driving instructor in Detroit, has been using a video game, Grand Theft Auto, to show teenagers how to parallel park. Oh, my God. We're living in the twilight zone. Just over a quarter of American 16-year-olds had their driver's license in 2024.

1:52:44A point drop, a 20-point drop, Vinny. Since 1980s, according to the Federal Highway Administration, throughout the 80s and 90s, more than 80 % of teenagers reported having their license by the end of high school. Today, that figure has fallen to 57%. A professor at San Diego State University, Twenge, and the author of Generations, credits the shift to a broader pattern of American teenagers postponing a milestone of adulthood But if you think about emotions that were associated with getting a driver's license back then, it was just like a longing and impatience, she said. And now it's fear and anxiety.

1:53:20They're worried about driving today, Vinny. What if I get into a car accident and then it talks about alcohol? Here's why they prefer staying sober. Dubbed in sober generation, today's young adults are increasingly turning their backs on heavy drinking. researchers at Skyline Recovery Center questioned 766 Gen Z adults ages 21 or 29 and discovered that nearly one in four, 24%, do not drink at all. Another 21 % deliberately moderate their drinking, while 6 % described themselves as sober curious. Life is so much more fun without alcohol, said Sheldon Cohen, clinical director at Skyline. You have to have dinner with friends.

1:53:58You laugh, have conversations. You remember things for Zoomers. and biggest motivation for ditching booze is personal wellness. 46 % say personal health or fitness motivates them to drink less and 37 % are motivated by saving money and 29 % say improved mental health. Ilan, thoughts? The alcohol one I'm not going to complain about. I'm actually happy to see that trend. It's interesting. When I was growing up, you think about what being able to drive meant, and it meant freedom. You wanted to go explore the world. You wanted to be able to go out on your own and meet people. and, you know, Do you think they like control a little bit?

1:54:32They like to be controlled? I think to some extent the exposure to the real world is scary to a lot of people. And that's not a good direction to go in. It's why we're seeing less social interactions in person. It's why we're seeing, we've become, humans will naturally gravitate toward comfort. Comfort and efficiency. But our natural gravitation towards those things doesn't mean that they're optimal for the human spirit or the human soul. We're seeing the effects of it. So just because we could create a society where you never have to leave your house doesn't mean that it's healthy for humans to live in that society and so now what used to represent freedom used to represent joy your future looking out is now replaced with anxiety so we're creating these protective bubbles by the way it's not just that people can't even experience an opinion that is different from theirs anymore without having a mental break how much it is you think is uber how much is uber what do you think but whamoo i don't i don't think it's just that i think it's just a general trend in general of there's not the same desires like that other story where they're just, you know, kids aren't meeting up with each other anymore on Friday nights and weekends.

1:55:36There's a trend toward isolation. You know what we're going to become? You guys remember the movie WALL-E? It's very much WALL-E-ish. Put the fat people on WALL-E. When they finally go to that utopia place, put fat people WALL-E. Yeah, look at them. Just not moving, just sitting there getting fat, whatever you want to eat, whatever you want to drink, the TV's in front of you. You're not doing anything that's the future that's the future people like you said they're comfortable just sitting there not doing anything they don't want to go they don't want to talk to anybody bro this guy talks to everybody I like to engage I'm happy about life I want to talk to people about who they are where they're from bro it's happening less and less I'm all with you with the non-drinking trust me he's not drinking I don't drink it's not even yeah alcohol is terrible but then people not want to leave bro my sister my dad gave my sister a car back I lost my mind because I was so furious because I was like, where's...

1:56:31They're like, no, no. Mind you, my father would actively look at my sister in front of me and my brother and go like this. You're my first and last love. And me and my brother were like, hey, for her car. So we would steal her car. I would steal her car just to drive it. It was fun. Now, like you said, Uber, Lyft, Whamu, even if you're in a freaking Tesla, it's driving it for you. They're taking away all the stuff. They made it fun. Can I say the number one thing that's on my mind in general in terms of like a fear for the future. The war dog? No, besides war hounds. Chihuahua with a bomb on its back?

1:57:03No, but we talk a lot about automation. Small bomb. We talk a lot about AI. We talk a lot about the shifts into less social interactions, creativity dying because we're offloading everything onto computers. Like my real question here isn't my fear, because I do believe we'll reach a phase of abundance, which this kind of represents in some existential way that you no longer even have to drive for yourself. My real fear is that what is the human experience? what is a human soul without the need to do anything. And so I just don't know what that looks like. I don't know. And again, sure, leaning into faith will be a major part of that.

1:57:37But there's this element of where does society go when everything's provided for us? What does the human experience look like at that point? And that's the biggest question that's on my mind. What you're describing is risk aversion. It's what it comes down to. When you have abundance, you don't need to take risk. When you have nothing, you take lots of risk. And what is having a conversation on a Friday night with some girl across the bar. It's all risk. Do you want to do that? No. Why do I have to do that? I got my phone right here. I can control the conversation through my phone. So what we're really describing is a society that's moving toward risk aversion, which, I mean, I don't know how you arrest it, but there are certainly going to be social implications How much of this is on parents, though?

1:58:15How much of this is on moms and dads scaring the crap out of kids? How much of it is social media? It's like, oh my god, car accidents. How much of it is gaming? How much of it is like, you know what? Pat, you know, I think one of the problems here is that... Porn, like, hey, I don't need to go out there and do this. We don't understand fully what it's like to live in a 100 % digital world. You and I, we grew up in an analog world, right? So we don't necessarily understand what children are going through because they have no experience of our life. They don't know what a rotary phone is or what long distance actually means.

1:58:45And they live 100 % online, at least close to it. So I think there's a communication disconnect, but also we live very different lives. We have lived a very different life than our team. Yeah, it's a developmental disconnect more than a – Beyond that, it's communication. It flows down to all three – everything. I want to be – I think it's important for us to be willing to understand what they're going through, but also from the parent standpoint. You know, Dylan had a game this weekend at Stewart, wherever Stewart – you guys know where Stewart, Florida is, an hour and a half away from us. North.

1:59:18And so we go to the game, and on the way to the game, I'm having Dylan read a book right now. I'm having him read Relentless. He's going through that right now and shaping his mindset about being a cleaner. And on the way there, he's watched Last Dance multiple times, but I had him watch the Last Dance. So we go to the game. He had one of his best games he's had ever. I mean, I think he had his best game of the season. He had an assist? Phenomenal. He was phenomenal in what he did. Lights out. They were playing against some competitors. He did very good. But it was on the way there of shaping the mindset before a game, shaping the mindset is on parents and it's the hardest thing to do yesterday we're at uh leo's uh birthday party he turned two years old happy birthday leo phenomenal boy uh we're day parties the 19th i'm the 18th and we had a good time we're all there and haz and naveen are there and haz i love haz good family their daughter and i were like this for 30 minutes she wouldn't leave me two years old, we had a new friend, new bond.

2:00:19But ask the question about what do you do with money when the family is, you have money, and how do you raise the kids so they're not entitled, all this other stuff. How do you do that? We started talking about these types of, I said it's on the parent on how you shape mindsets. And it's how you do it early. It's the hardest thing to do. You have to shape the mindset of kids around you to know that there is an element of risk. It's like, so what do you do if your kid all of a sudden gets exposed to other ideas that you disagree with? That's the risk. You've got to prepare them and put them out there to think for themselves and see what they're going to be doing.

2:00:48But if you raise pansies, oh, my God. And I put a lot of that on moms. It's on the mom that you raise a pansy. A pansy boy who's always scared. What about this and what about that? And, oh, my God, and, oh, my God, super protective. They don't realize. And, by the way, it's on two people. One, my mom tried to do that to me. And she's like, and my dad's like, stop. You're not going to be doing that. And I'm like, no, I'm taking a risk. Oh, my God, what if you joined the Army? I joined the Army without telling her. I just joined the Army, and I called my mom. I said, hey, I'm in South Carolina. I got 30 seconds.

2:01:19I just want to tell you I joined the Army. She was in Iran when I called her. That's how I told her. I said, you did what? I said, I got to go. There's 40 people that I got to call their moms. I'm just telling you I'm in the U.S. Army. Why did you join the Army? I have to be a man. You know, I had businesses at 10, 11 years old in Germany making money because I had to find a way to make money. And moms are like, what if somebody does this to you? What if there is that letting go of, what do you call it, the umbilical cord. Let me loose. Let me go make some mistakes. And unfortunately, it's on the kid and it's on to the wrong kid.

2:01:50You know, you can't do that to that kid. The kid's going to stand up and do his own thing. But sometimes they don't realize they are raising a baby. That baby is going to get demolished when he goes into the free market. Demolished because he's been babied so much. Sorry, there's a stat that's... Yeah, but there's a stat that touched on what you're saying is the importance of strong fathers. The problem is that the declining rate of fathers in the household has increased exponentially since the 60s. Yeah, for sure. Roughly, you look at the 60s, I believe it was 25 % of black households had a single-parent house.

2:02:23Now it's roughly... 4%. Was that 4 %? No, for white families, it was 4%. It's gone up to 20%. Nationally, it was 4%. Really? In the 60s. And now it's gone up tremendously. Lyndon Johnson, when he came out with the program in 64, completely, now it's 41%. Yeah. And by demographic, it's a pretty similar increase percentage-wise. It's just significantly higher in certain communities. It's a nasty thing that happened there. But babying your kids is one of the worst things you can do. Be protective. Teach them the right thing. Guide them. Shape their mindset. But they have to go out there and figure this thing out by themselves.

2:02:56Okay, let's go to the next story. Next story is Tom doesn't like this story. But Jeff likes this story. And I'm going to preface it because when I told this story before, Tom wasn't happy about it. I said, Tom, I'm doing it anyway. So I'm just going to preface it before we get into it. Tom's got a very bad temper. Most of you guys don't know about it. You think he's like a nice man that goes around telling dad jokes. Tom is feared. Tom's got a certain side to him. Petrified. That maybe some alliance, like genetic-wise, from a little bit of Germany, a little bit of some of that part. But let me read this to you.

2:03:26Let me read this to you. So Pentagon prepares bases for 90 days without outside support. What? Why are you doing that now? After all the talks about Iran and back and forth and, hey, if I have to use a nuclear, if I have to use a mother of all bombs, if I have to do this, you know, I don't know. Anything is possible. And then people are speculating that Trump's not going to do anything to Iran until after midterms because to make sure it doesn't impact what's going on with the midterms. And then this story comes out. And Jeff said, please come to me with this story. So I'm going to come to Jeff with this story.

2:04:04So let me read it to you. Okay, here we go. I'm trying to find a page. There you go. Inside the Pentagon's doomsday plan to keep America fighting if global war erupts. This is a Fox News story. Not reported on Apple News. But let's read it to you. Okay? You can't find a story on Apple MSN or any of the other stuff. So here we go. The Pentagon is preparing U.S. military bases to keep operating for at least 90 days without outside support as it prepares for the possibility of a major war that could cripple power grids, disrupt supply chain, and threaten critical infrastructure on American soil. The new requirement is part of Fortress, a broader initiative aimed at ensuring American forces can continue fighting even if the civilian system can, they depend on or disrupted according to documents reviewed by Fox News Digital.

2:04:53Power is combat now. Without electricity, loose communication, water logistics, assembly lines, and just basic military command structure, Pentagon Chief Sean Parnell said he called reliance on civil infrastructure and inter-intolerable risk, fortress envisions, portable nuclear reactors, battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from the civilian grid. It calls for strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, electronics, spare parts, and medical supplies, and requires at least two qualified supply pathways for the military's most critical dependencies. Jeff, why are you concerned about the story?

2:05:31Well, first of all, I'm concerned, why are they doing this now? Why wasn't this done 25, 30 years and 40 years ago? But I think the bigger story to me is that— You think there's credibility behind the story? Yeah, there has to be. And there could be a number of different things. I mean, one of it could be, are they concerned about AI? What happens if AI gets loose and runs rampant through the civilian system? Well, we sure as hell wouldn't want a military that no longer has capabilities because a rogue agent has done something on behalf of a nation. Shut off the grid. Yeah, exactly. And even AI hacking has gotten crazy.

2:06:02Sure. But also, I think that, you know, a big story for me, at least I think it's going to be a big story, and the markets seem to agree, is that I think that the U.S.-Iran conflict is not over with. Whether this has anything to do with that or not is certainly up for debate. I'm not convinced that it is. But I think there's a very good chance that as soon as the election closes on, was it, November 3rd, the U.S. missiles are on their way toward Iran. And that's, I mean, we've been hearing a drip of information. They're talking about how Iranians are targeting top U.S. diplomats. I mean, just scroll through your feed here.

2:06:36Reuters reports, Trump says U.S. may do another military operation against Iran. That was three days ago. CENTCOM reportedly has plans for Iran strikes. Trump himself has said repeatedly, make a deal or we're going to come after you. So I think maybe these two things are together. Maybe they're playing up the Iranian countermeasures that are potentially if the U.S. does strike Iran with Israel, of course, because there's definitely that angle involved there. I think the conflict in the Middle East is set for another flare up. I want to show you this clip. This is what Trump said a month ago. So there's a part of what Jeff is saying has credibility.

2:07:12Here's Trump a month ago, give or take. Here's what he had to say. Go for it. They're moving into the United States. They're all leaving Canada. They're coming here. The Canada thing is amazing. They've been ripping us off for years. He's trying to wait out the midterms as well, isn't he? Well, I think a lot of people are so arranged. You know, as soon as, by the way, the war will end right after the midterms. If Republicans win. But if Republicans lose in the midterms, why would the Iran war end? Well, I think a lot of people think if we lose, then I'll be much more angry and I'll just take care of business.

2:07:41It's another way of doing it. Either way, they lose. AI, I know you've been focusing on that. Okay, Finny, so what do you think about what he just whispered right there? Here's my thing, okay? Everybody knows. Everybody's listening to those after the midterms because more than likely the Democrats are going to freaking win. I don't know if they're going to sweep or not because Republicans might get the Senate. but bomb what? Unless you're going to go after civilian and heavily populated civilian areas, Iran is showing that they control the Straits of Hormuz. That's it. What are you going to bomb?

2:08:20It's just crazy because all they keep doing is bragging and Trump does it too. The Navy's at the bottom of the sea. Everything's done. But they still have the upper hand. So for when the Pentagon is doing these type of exercises, coming from a veteran, They're not doing it just willy-nilly. That means there's a credible threat. And I love that you said that AI, wasn't it like last week, AI found itself and it went into all these banking systems and all the... Yeah, AI's been acting autonomously now for a while and even using deception. It's by itself. But my thing is this. When it comes to the Iran, okay, the midterms are done, they lose.

2:08:51Then he's just going to turn his head and bomb. Bomb what? What are you going to bomb? I'm very, I'm just curious. I honestly have no idea what are you going to bomb. Here's what I think. I think there's been a major messaging issue with Iran more than anything, because I think clear objective saying they demonstrated that they have intermediate range ballistic missiles. You know, they've launched them. They showed us they have those capabilities. The U.N. watchdog for, you know, nuclear proliferation came out and said they enriched uranium past 60 percent. There is no utility past two to five percent.

2:09:24these are just like those are good points to continue to get out to the public and say our main concern our objective is the intermediate to long-range ballistic missile system because that's a direct threat to us but none of this stuff is being communicated there's no end game it feels like it's just a continued kind of soft war that turns into a long-standing forever war which we've seen happen time and time again and we were over promised regime change in the beginning and all these things so the the messaging is the problem i don't think the pentagon thing has anything to do with Iran. I do think that there's a big fear with AI's capabilities to bring down communication systems.

2:09:58Tom, you said this was a nothing burger. Why do you think this is not a big deal? No, I think it's... I didn't say it was a nothing burger. Specifically, you said this is a nothing burger. You even sent me a text message. I don't remember using this. Did he not say nothing? Tom was just like psss. He even did like a psss. You painted it on the wall. Go ahead, Tom. Tom's not worried about it, but maybe we don't have anything to worry about. Well, let me give you my take on this. Is that why aren't all of our bases in the Middle East built at this standard? Why aren't those there so that if things are struck around them, that they could keep there protecting what we're there to protect?

2:10:33And if you go look at this thing, there are two categories on this of everything they talked about. The first category is supplies, munitions, food, backup. Okay, that's just supplies. That's a warehouse that's built to sustain bombing so that your guys have all the weapons, food, have all the munitions and food and things that they need. check. The second part of it is Elon Musk, because Starlink and all of the power systems and the battery and the Tesla power walls and stuff, Elon Musk could provide this so that you've got all the self-contained power. So the take I had on this was like, wow, Elon Musk could provide all the communications, all the power on this side independently.

2:11:14And then over on this side, you You just have a storage issue. Then you have a perimeter defense issue. Now you have a base that could keep working for 90 days, bombing the hell out of whatever it's there to bomb the hell out of or defend. And so my question about the story is, why this story? Why now? But that's for you, though, Tom. You ought to ask yourself that question. The reason I'm asking? Yeah. I think they need appropriations bill, A. or B, they're trying to make everybody calm down, that it's going to be okay, that we're here to defend, and we can sustain it. I don't think that this reassures people seeing a message like that.

2:11:52I think it does the opposite. I agree with that. I think it does the opposite. I think to me it's the Iran. We can go 90 days defending you. I think to me the Iran war is at a halt, and he knows, Tom, the likelihood of Dems winning is much higher if this war goes into 2028 election and you have to get in and do whatever you want to do now, wrap it up and move on or else it's going to be a blood bath in 2028. That's why I believe they're doing this. They're trying to make not only a statement the timing of it is very very weird because they believe something's about to happen right after midterms.

2:12:33That's where I stand with it. Anyways, I want to wrap up with this story to all the soccer moms and soccer dads. I want to show one clip and then say a couple words about Hannity's winning. So for anybody that has kids that play soccer, Vinny, a lot has changed in 30 years of parents who have kids that play soccer. And a lot of parents are worried nowadays because things are getting crazy. If you relate to this, let us know in the comment section if you relate to this. Go for it. Play this clip. I want to apologize now. We have one away game this week that is eight miles away. This is 90s. The South America tournament starts this Monday in Peru.

2:13:14Once that's over, we will hike the Amazon rainforest to get to the port of Spain by Thursday, where a Carnival cruise ship will take us to South Africa for a game in Cape Town. From there, we will bus up and play in the Saudi Arabia Classic. Now, I know what you're thinking. Anybody that has a kid that's been on travel, this is it. They're not joking, Vin. It's getting crazy. I saw another one that said in the 80s, they're like, hey, we're going to need$20. And they're like, dude, what$20? And then now it's like, we need you to go raise private equity money for the team of$2.2 million. It's like, did I just become an investment banker?

2:13:54But if you're a parent, you've got kids that play soccer and sports. So the other day I'm at the wedding, and this guy next week, we start talking. His daughter, who is doing jujitsu, if they watch the show, they know who I'm talking about. His daughter, who does jujitsu now, that's the way the father said, I'll buy you a car. Well, the daughter does horse races, okay? Horse races. He says, if you think soccer is bad, if you think football is bad, your kids being in horse racing, he says, we have four horses. It is the most expensive sport your kid is going to be a part of. It's keeping an animal alive.

2:14:27We had donkeys, you know, horse races. But we were at Sean and Ainsley's wedding. to tell you was the most amazing, beautiful wedding I've been in my life. Out of control. Beautiful couple. Congratulations to them. The ceremony was wonderful. All the who's who's were there. You know, Jennifer and I, you know, we remember our wedding we did at the Red Lion in Glendale. Nice. We did at Red Lion. Started off with 200 people. By the end of the night, we had 450 people there partying until 2, 3 o 'clock in the morning. But when we were at the wedding, this is Jennifer and I, And I'm like, so let me text Sean.

2:15:03I'm like, hey, Sean, you know, when you say it's a black tie event, like what do I, just wear tux. I'm like, all right, great. So I wore this Stefano Ritchie beautiful jacket. I got the whole thing that they come. I go in there, Vinny, and I'm sitting in the beautiful cathedral that they're doing it with the most incredible, incredible ceremony. The way that it was Catholic, it was beautiful, right? And I'm sitting, I'm like, hey, John, can you do me a favor? I want you to look for one man in here that is wearing a tux other than black. And she's trying to be, she's like, babe, no, it's okay. You're fine.

2:15:34I said, no, no, but look at that lady's dress. I said, I'm not a lady. No, but look at this one. Everybody had a black tux. So in the future, folks, if you ever get invited to a big, massive, conservative wedding, when they tell you black, like literally just wear black, you're going to be safe. I wore this jacket. Come on, though, at least you stood out in a good way. It is what it is. And by the way, at the wedding, you know, We went to this nice place, and it was a three-course meal. About 1 ,000 people there. And the opening course was noodles with this much caviar. No. I'm not kidding with you.

2:16:11This much caviar. Sick. And you know me with caviar. I'm like eating off everybody's plates. You don't like that, do you? Give it to me. I'll come here from being from Caspian Sea. But Vinny, this was like a multi-multi-million dollar type of wedding. Who was that? Lee Greenwood was there. And what was the other one that we were at Rascal Flatts? Performance songs, but congratulations to Sean and his beautiful wife, the family, everybody that was there. Incredible experience from the beginning to the end. It was wonderful. We saw a lot of friends, a lot of good conversations. Future looks bright.

2:16:43Anyways, with that being said, gang, we have two very weird interviews today, which after I conduct it, I'll tell you who these two people are. But we've got some interesting things that's coming out here soon this week as well. We'll drop a couple interviews for you. and Faith Over Fear. Do not forget to go to FLB to place your order on the Faith Over Fear jackets because it's getting colder. God bless everybody. We'll see you again on Friday. Take care. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
