Trump–Putin Diesel Deal, James Talarico Mental Hospital Claims | PBD #871

0:00Thank you.

0:30back. Yesterday we had a drive back from a soccer tournament. On the way back, we're singing Persian songs. We're singing Gugush. We're singing Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik, Chik. Everybody loves that music. We're singing Hayadeh, Vigen, Martik. The greatest hit. I mean, it's like Sinatra, Mardik. You're making fun, but to the Persian community, listen to this. Who knows B.B. Gol or We listened to this. We had so much time. Antico knew some of these stories, which was great. But it was phenomenal. Of course, story-wise, we got a massive announcement to make here today for some of you guys that if you like to have fun, you're going to want to be a part of this, and I'll share that with you here momentarily.

1:15But a few things to be thinking about story-wise. Trump is officially flipping on Zelensky now. I don't know what happened. I thought they were friends. And all of a sudden, Trump told him, I have one rule for you. Don't hit because it affects the world. And you did? I'm out. And then Zelensky had to come out and explain himself to Trump. He's like, you don't dictate our elections. But Zelensky is back to being in the corner by himself because of what he did. And so one moment Trump's pro-Zelensky. One moment he's pro-Putin. Or maybe he just wants this thing to be done. And a lot of businesses being left on the table.

1:49We talk about that. Pope Leo, to my Catholic friends, whom I love dearly. You know who you are. We have a very good relationship together. is your pope said something about execution, and he's not happy about it. And a lot of people came out and said, what are you talking about? Do you not remember such and such story? And you know in our own group chat that we had, Tom and another Catholic went back and forth. Oh, man. So Tom's going to give you a little bit of insight. Jews stayed out of it. Yeah. Scientologists stayed out of it. Yeah, we stayed out of it. Presbyterians stayed out of it. But a Catholic and a Christian went back and forth, and we'll give the perspective.

2:25What can happen when Christians and Catholics start having beats? Yeah, yeah, that's not something you want. It gets ugly, guys. Anthropic goes rogue and gives a false tip to cops. It's like, what? It's a false tip. What do you mean? So this is the part that they're worried about, like propaganda you can, you know, scare the crap out of people. Tallarico, this guy's been, look, how good were you at the game of hide-and-go-seek? As good as you are, imagine you run for Senate. Yeah. And you're on TV nonstop. You're on the Rogan podcast. The world learns about you. You are this supposed to be a noble pastor, sweet, sweet, you know, good, you know, transgender, all this stuff.

3:02And then all of a sudden you go missing at the peak of your campaign. This has got to be, listen, I don't care what you say. Some people call Hoffa the greatest hiding goes to champion. They say he's maybe still hiding. Some people call Elvis, you know, Tupac. These guys are still living on an island. Yeah. All this stuff. But I tell you, Tallarico's up there with what he did because he's still alive. Okay. And he's running allegedly. and somebody called the facility that he was staying at. They're saying they don't know if this is real or not and said, hey, did Tallarico get out? And then there's interviews of him being asking.

3:33He gave two different answers. You just got to hear this. We'll talk about that. And then Saudi airport gets attacked and the Houthi's war is escalating. Palantir's CEO says there's only two types of people that are going to make the AI war. You may want to hear this on who's going to have a chance of surviving this next era that we're going to go through. He says two types. Germany, you ready for this weird statistic? Adam was surprised by this stat. Maybe he was not. 87 % of the wanted suspects, criminals, in Germany have foreign citizenships. 87 % have foreign citizenships. Well, of course.

4:10You got to realize, the three of you guys were born in America. I'm not. I know you spent like two years in Germany. But I'm part of the 13%. Yeah, but were you committing crimes or were you respecting the law? I was not. I was just enjoying living in Erlangen. But this story, this stat tells you a lot about what the country is going through. Trucking industry, if you're in the trucking industry, the level of bankruptcies that that industry is getting hit by. I had one of our clients that bought 150 trucks, and he told me what happened to him with the diesel gas prices and how nasty it is. They're selling trucks right now on pennies, pennies on a dollar right now.

4:45They have no choice. They got to get rid of them because it's inventory that's being parked. And if they move, they're losing money. So it's like they're not even in the break-even situation. Eric Prince from Blackwater, if I'm not mistaken, they sent about 20 of their guys, and one of them was still an active National Guard. Tim Kennedy being one of them. Apparently they were attacked, and it's not a nice story here, but we'll have to get into it. In the Congo. It's not pretty on what happened. A story comes out talking about how malls are back to being busy again, not the mall in Tampa. That's for sure.

5:19Oh, no. We went to a mall in Tampa yesterday. It was ghost town. Literally. I thought for a second I was going to go into back rooms. And, you know, from going into the theater, I'm like, be careful where you're going. And then we're going to have all these billions of rooms that we're going to have to go through. This place was so dead that the only people were going to this place was just to go to the theater. Okay? Not for anything else. Right? Shout out to Alexis. Cory Booker, Town Hall. Very funny. You got to see it. and in Nevada, this is pretty crazy what happened to this lady in Nevada.

5:52I mean, she may need to be in the Guinness Book of the World what she did. She married five different men in one year. How do you do? Shout out. She marries five different guys, allegedly, in the past year, and she was trying to find a way to get$280 ,000. Can you imagine, how do you manage this one versus this one versus this one? Five? Five. She did. Five. Looking for love. Adam was trying to find her Instagram to introduce her to you as a sixth, but who knows? Who knows what's going to happen? And then a couple other things that we'll get into, a couple other unique stories that we'll get into that I've got surprises.

6:29Every time I'm showing some stuff, I've got some stuff up my sleeve. By the way, just words of advice for some of you folks out there. Life is weird. Life is tough. Whatever you do, this is like some high-level advice. It's not going to be low-level. I wanted to start off Monday strong with you guys with high-level advice. if you ever get the itch to want to go punch your finger at a tiger, don't do it. Seriously. Don't do it. That tiger's not going to listen to you. So apparently there was this one guy that decides to go and he goes like this to the tiger. And the tiger's in front of it, reacts a little bit like, hey, you better listen to me.

7:05You know, the tiger listened for a second. Literally, the tiger goes like this. Looks at him. Looks right. Looks at him. The guy met his maker. within seconds. Just don't do it. I know sometimes, let me do the impossible. Let me do something that maybe people think it's kind of creative. This is not a good idea to want to go out there and wrestle a tiger. Beast. What did Tony Montana say about a tiger? A lady tiger. I don't know. Some kind of lady tiger. Lady tiger, different story. But a real-life tiger, don't mess with them. They can have some. All right, so now, guess what's coming up on November 3rd.

7:39Tom, what is coming up on November 3rd? Midterm elections, very important for America. Yes, it is. And it's going to be crazy because some states are going to be happy. Some states are not going to be happy. In Florida, people are worried on who's going to win the governor race right now. But there's a lot of different races. You got the Ohio stuff. You got all this Tallarico packs and stuff that's going on. So we are doing an election night. And if you remember the last one we did, it was the biggest election night event in the world. Literally, when I say that, it was number one live stream world.

8:07But of course, this is not presidential. This is midterm. So it's going to be a different format. But if you want to be a part of it, there's one way you can do it. And we're going to have some very special guests with us, guests that you may want to meet. Maybe play this clip for some of you folks that want to come join us on election night. Go ahead. Two years ago, we held the biggest election night event here right here behind this hangar.

8:38We will have live results as they come in, race by race. the important ones, all the data's winners, losers, and why. We will laugh. Some states may cry, but we'll have a great time. So if you want to be a part... Vinny, I'm in the middle of a shoot, Vinny. Oh, what are you guys shooting, though? This is about election night, November 3rd, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Boredom Cigar Live. I'm coming. You're going to be there? I will see you there. Guys, can you get rid of the guy sitting in the back? You're not invited. Damn, come on, Pat. Guys, get out of here. Again, November 3rd, 7 p.m., 11 p.m.

We may announce some of the guests, but it's going to be a smaller intimate group, members only. So 7 p.m., 11 p.m., many people will be there early. Great networking opportunity. It'll be business folks. Go to Portum Cigar Lounge, fill out the membership information, and somebody will get a hold of you. With that being said, let's get right into it. So first story I want to start off with, okay? First story I want to start off with is Trump having an issue now with Zelensky.

10:12So at first, everybody saw Trump and Zelensky. It's like maybe there's some progress being made. Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe there's some good news that's going to happen here and the war is going to end. And then all of a sudden, you see a video from the president. It's like, hey, I told you to not do X, Y, Z. And you did. Once you did, we're done. And he said, Ukraine needs a new president. It's time for a new leader to the point that Zelensky had to respond to them. If you have the clips in the back, do me a favor and prep the clip. This is the president talking about Zelensky. You can tell he's had it with him.

10:46Go for it. Well, I look at it differently. Zelensky could have settled this war many times, many, many times. And he chooses not to. Very difficult. It's a war that should have never been started. If I were president, if the election weren't rigged, I would have been president, and that world would have never started. But he could have settled it many times, and he chose not to. We said, you can do whatever you want to Russia, don't hit the refineries, because that's a world problem that's caused. And he wants to make problems for the world. He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers, with diesel fuel, because Russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel throughout the world.

11:30And we told him, do whatever you want, but don't hit the diesel fuel, because there's a big problem, big shortage. And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel. He can do whatever he wants, but he can't do that, because we have a world problem. And the problem is caused by the lack of refineries for diesel fuel. So what does he do? He goes and hits refineries. And I said to him, do what you want, don't hit refineries. There's plenty of targets, don't hit refineries. And he went out and he hit. And he's not going to affect our farmers. And he's not going to affect our ranchers. So let me get this straight.

12:04So you're having a conversation with the man that you need his help. He tells you to not hit it. You go hit it. What do you think is going to happen right afterwards? What do you think is going to happen afterwards? This is someone's help you need. You need this guy's help. And you go and do the thing he tells you not to do. By the way, check this out. Russia will immediately supply more than 300 ,000 tons of diesel, followed by 500 ,000 tons on November 1st, and then 1 million immediately thereafter, and 3 million more within a short period of time. And he says, I want to thank President Putin.

12:38We have massive amounts of oil coming into our country, and it's diesel, which is what we want. He did not address sanctions, saying that only lower price of Americans, especially our great farmers, ranchers, and truckers, is my greatest priority. And Zelensky called it a weak decision. Unfortunately, a weak decision by strong partner, Senator Richard Blumenthal, said it makes us complicit in the Putin war. Treasury issued a license shielding deliveries from sanctions in April 2027. Diesel averaged 620 after a record of 652. And here's how Zelensky responded to the president. Go for it.

13:19please tell putin give us two months 60 days of total ceasefire 60 days and we will organize elections of course we will be ready for any choice of our people this is not the clip i wanted i wanted a clip of him saying about being a president uh he answers we have elections in our country. You know, we choose our. So, Tom, when you see this, the mishap. So can you give the argument of both sides, the people that are saying, well, why would we side with Putin and help him out in a situation like this and then argue for the other side and say, why would Zelensky choose to attack? So why would our president right now be doing a deal to get diesel for the U.S.?

14:05Because diesel is over eight dollars in California. Now, that's because of their taxes and diesel. I think this morning AAA diesel was$640 nationwide,$625, something like that. And so we have a crisis. We have an absolute economic crisis in the United States because of the diesel. And diesel transports everything from an Amazon package to a box of strawberries. Diesel transports everything. So that means everything's price, everything in terms of affordability and a little bit of inflation, that's due to diesel. and that diesel deal is not just election year it happens to be midterms and there's a lot of incentives so people will say oh shut up biz doc it is because election year it is and it isn't it would have happened anyway right now we have a we have you know the u.s citizens he says are suffering with this inflation creep in so many areas and the diesel cost it's there and so So I'm arguing that Trump should do everything he could.

15:06He took what was called red diesel. It's called red dye diesel. You know what red dye diesel is? It's a special diesel that they use for farm equipment and off-roading. It's a little less environmentally friendly. But a week ago, Trump said, hey, truckers can use red dye diesel on the roads and I'll suspend the federal tax on it. So he's trying to help them get something. And now he's trying to get more diesel from Putin. So I would argue, you know, but for the war, he's trying to do a world supply deal, Pat. He's trying to do a world supply deal to get diesel for Americans to see if we can get the price down.

15:46Never mind the fact that the real problem in America is the refineries, that regulations and the Democrats in California closing Phillips 66 in Los Angeles and Valero in Benicia up by San Francisco. that's freaking California government's fault. They took, you know, approximately, I'll give you the exact number. Yeah, California screwed itself out of 565 ,000 barrels a day, Pat, a day. That's what got taken off, you know. So we have a refinery crisis in America, but the president, I'm arguing for him, hey, he wanted to go find diesel to see if he can bring the price down in the United States, and that's where he found it.

16:27So here's when the president says Ukraine needs a new president. This is what Zelensky had to say about it. Go for it. If they want energy, we are open for this. Don't attack us. Don't kill our children. We will stop attack your diesel. And I think it's fair, fair deal. President Trump said that we need, Ukraine needs new president. So, first of all, with all respect to President Trump, it's up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader. Yes, we are in war and now to do elections is really difficult. not only that it goes absolutely not secured and it goes out of our law, out of our constitution, but the main thing is to have security infrastructure for this, to give possibility people to vote.

17:27Of course, it's up to Ukrainians when to vote, how to do it and to choose one or another person. But if to answer on this question, I know that Putin wanted very much to change the president in Ukraine. I understand it. And if President Trump really wants to have some changes during elections, I also shared it with his team. So please tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people, exactly Ukrainian people. Do you believe him? No, he just said security infrastructure, and I was making a note for Vinny.

18:17When he says security infrastructure, you know what he's talking about? here we go again back to the thing started he's talking about nato backing up ukraine or u.s weapons backing up ukraine we need the security infrastructure that was remember when the war first started and they they felt like they had a deal and it was down to like that and putin said you put the word nato on that on that deal i'm not doing it remember that he's back to that again adam what do you have with this uh i'm trying to be clear right on this uh you know who i trust the least out of anybody in this conversation, there's one person.

18:53That's Vladimir Putin. So Trump's trying to make a deal. Is that fair to say that Trump is trying to make a deal here? There's an energy war going on right now, whether it's the Hormuz situation, whether it's the Houthis, what they're doing in Saudi, and then obviously the Ukraine-Russia situation here. So Trump's trying to make a deal in this energy war situation. And I'm going to call out President Trump for a second, because as much as I respect everything that he's doing, and I've been obviously arguably one of the biggest fans of what Trump is doing geopolitically. He's trying to basically figure out a deal here, and in my opinion, will be short-term gain for long-term pain.

19:31We've talked about, you know, short-term pain for long-term gain in Iran. This is the exact opposite. You're trying to make a deal with Putin. This is like a deal with the devil. and Trump respectfully this is the same guy that one year ago at the um UN said he called out the EU and called out the NATO I don't know if you remember this guys he says what the hell are you guys doing you're buying Russian oil from the country you're fighting a war against well isn't that exactly what we're doing this time I don't understand what's the bottom line here how much do the math here on this 300 ,000 tons of diesel followed by 500 ,000 tons of diesel 1 million, 3 million, that's basically 5 million tons of diesel.

20:18How long do you think that lasts in America? A couple weeks. Five days. So I've done some numbers on this. So we talked about last week, all of these things are like minutes. So like you're making a stupid deal with Putin to help you potentially with midterms that last maybe five days. And then here's the bottom line here. What country is the number one exporter of diesel in the world? It's the United States of America. We ship apparently 1.2 million barrels of diesel a day, 15 % of the world's supply. Number two is Russia. So if you're trying to basically bring down costs, if you're trying to basically have farmers and big ag and people and basic people understand that costs are being lowered you could go to any country why go to Russia here's a list of countries that export diesel Saudi India South Korea Netherlands Singapore Kuwait why Russia I don't understand I'm very clear out on Russia Russia is the worst geopolitical actor in the world because somehow we think that we're going to be friends with these people yeah but let me not let me tell you let me tell you how this thing works when it comes down to doing deals.

21:26This is kind of how I see it. Let's isolate each issue. Okay. Issue number one is a midterm election gas strategy to make sure gas prices drop right before elections to help with the midterms. Okay. Guess what? You know what that is? Boom, boom, rolling the dice. You don't know if it's going to work or not. Okay. You're, you're already, you know, you got lucky with the Tallarico fumble. You really got lucky and you hope Florida turns out the way it does. If you We trust Calci, and we trust what Calci does. So with Calci, you know, Donald's has some lead, but a lot of Floridian Republicans may not turn out.

21:59They're kind of not excited about Donald's. So they're going to have to get that base excited, and the ads alone is not going to cut it. Whether they're going to do that debate or not, who knows. You have the Ohio stuff, which that keeps getting worse and worse. I think Ohio, if you look at Calci, Ohio, it does not look good on Ohio Calci. It's the complete opposite. No, he's not looking good on Ohio Calci. He's doing the wrong way. 67%, 33%. It's just not looking good. So to me, let's isolate that. Russia deal election. Okay, cool. Let's isolate what Putin's getting out of this. Is Putin getting some money during the war to be able to attack and do other things?

22:36Maybe. I don't know where he wins in this situation. Maybe Putin made an ask to Trump. It's like, hey, you do this, I'll do this for you. Trump's a deal maker. But if you isolate the diplomacy of Zelensky, who does Zelensky have a very good relationship with constantly? Who? Xi. Who? Zelensky and Xi? On our side. On our side? Do you mean American or do you mean? American. Because he's got a good relationship with the U.S.? Does he have a good relationship with Elon? No. Not at all. Elon can't stand him. You know why Elon can't stand him? Well, America has distanced itself from Zelensky. I think that's where you're getting at.

23:10But no, no, no. That's not how it works, though. It's on you. It's on Zelensky. Be better at diplomacy. What are you doing? How is this diplomatic to do something like this? He's telling you don't hit what applies to the world. I'm sorry, Adam. If you and I are talking, you're in the middle of war. You're asking me for what you want, and I'm making the calls on the other end. I'm telling you don't hit that and you do. Whatever you guys hit, everything else, it's your business. I can't control that part. But if you hit that, where is the diplomacy on Zelensky? I hear you. And listen, I'm not going to start defending Zelensky.

23:48My assumption is, okay, they announced a energy ceasefire. Okay, you guys stop fighting. You guys stop fighting. Zelensky is like, yes, give me 60 days, I promise. But what did Putin do? The next day, Putin slaps Trump in the face, spits in his face, and Russia strikes a power plant in Ukraine. So if there's an energy ceasefire, then both sides have to abide. I'm not defending Zelensky, but I'm going to pile on Putin's BS moves. So then isolate that with him. I agree. But I'm isolating with Zelensky. Zelensky wants stuff from America more than Russia wants stuff from America. Right now. I don't think America is doing anything for Zelensky.

24:26If Trump is asking you, no, he wants Trump, of course, because he just screwed up. No, meaning like for the last year. I don't think so. We can fact check that. I don't think America's been giving Ukraine any money. I'm not talking financials. I'm not talking financials. I'm not talking financials. I'm talking about if somebody were to look at and say, who's Trump looking like he's better with right now a month ago? Zelensky or Putin? People would say Zelensky. Zelensky a month ago. He screwed up. You don't do that. Listen, if I was Zelensky, I would also listen to Trump. I understand about isolating.

25:01I don't know. Of course, again, we don't know everything on what's going on behind closed doors. You don't know it. I don't know what none of us knows. They know it. Can we at least be clear that Russia is the aggressor and Russia is the bad guy? And Zelensky, not a perfect person, definitely messes up from time to time. Certainly can be better at diplomacy, but he's not the enemy. Putin is. Can we at least agree on that? I'm isolating with today's issue. But can we agree that Putin's the enemy? I'm isolating with today's issue, which is what? Zelensky wants this thing to be done. and there's a part of the audience that says maybe he doesn't because he doesn't want to give up power with elections, even when the conversation came up about doing elections in his country, the way he answered the question, he does not want an election.

25:45There are a couple other guys that want his job. And by the way, those other guys, I'm involved in this a little bit on the back end because I'm talking to some of the people involved, is what they're asking for, Whatever the ask is that Zelensky's camp is asking for. The other side is trying to help him, but he's not acting accordingly. So it's asking, hey, I'm changing. Let's do this together. But then your behavior is still the same behavior. That's not the behavior of a partner. It's not. And if you're on those calls and you're making asks and the other side is doing their part to help you, what are you doing behaving that way?

26:25It's a little bit of a misaligned behavior. Can I just be very clear on this, and then I'll let everybody weigh in? What percentage do you trust Zelensky? What percentage he is our ally? I don't trust either one of them. No, no. Okay, so is it a 0 % Zelensky? What percentage do I trust? I trust Zelensky. I wish I knew his motives. I think his motives are he doesn't want to give up power, and his motives are if he does, they're going to come after him. He's going to have to leave the country to go live in a place to be free, and there's going to be a lot of deep investigations. He'll be in court for the rest of his life.

26:58So he wants a form of a pardon to protect himself, and he's probably not going to get it. So I think his motives are those two things. Based on that, that's my level of trust. Give me a percentage of how much you trust him. 10%, 20%, 30%. Less than 10%. Okay, that's fair. Now how much do you trust Putin? Less than 10%. So you think that Putin and Zelensky are exactly the same? No, I actually trust Putin more than I trust Zelensky. How? I trust Putin zero. I would put 1 % more. So even if it's 1 % Zelensky, You trust Putin more than Zelensky? Because I know Putin's motives. I don't know Zelensky's motives.

27:30I don't think you understand. So what are Putin's motives? You have to destroy America. But you ask me trust. There are criminals I trust more than people that I don't trust who are not criminals. You trust that they're bad people. Trust is not a positive thing. It's just I trust that you're going to. So you're more clear-eyed. I'm very clear with who Putin is. I'm not clear with who Zelensky is. Make up your damn mind. Who the hell do you want to be? I know who Putin is. Who the hell doesn't know who Putin is? If you by now don't know who Putin is, what the hell are you doing? You're an idiot.

28:00I know who Putin is. I don't know who Zelensky is. Zelensky is like that guy that's like wishy-washy. Make up your mind, bro. I'm not defending Zelensky. I'm simply just saying I trust Putin zero. So even if I trust Zelensky 2%, that's 2 % more than I trust Putin. There's like, there's love, there's fear, there's respect, and there's trust. You're asking me about trust. I trust Putin in his motives more than I trust Zelensky's motives. I think I know Putin's motives. I don't know Zelensky's motives. What do you think Putin's motives are? It's very simple. He wants that property because he wants that$7 trillion of whatever he's counting as the natural resources.

28:37He's going to need long-term to be competitive. So he's going to be competitive in the marketplace. And he knows. He's thinking 50 years. He's not thinking 12 months. Do you think Putin wants to go beyond Ukraine? I don't know that. So if you're thinking like he's going to go to Poland next and all that other stuff, I think those people are going to stay paranoid. Well, I mean, this is why they're pumping so much money. I mean, it's supposed to be 5%. Now they're doing more. I'm going to get to the next story. I'm not trying to deviate. I'm going to get to the next story. It's 950. I'm going to go to the next story.

29:03All right. Next story is Pope Leo was asked about the execution that Hexa talked about with the major who killed 13 soldiers, I believe, and hospitalized 32 of them. And while he's going through it, the Pope tweets the following. If you have the tweet out there, right there, go all the way to the top. I think that's the one right there. Dear friends, during some recent medical examination, no, not that one. There was another one. I'm sorry. That was on me. Go back another tweet that he had about executions. I think he just did that. There you go. The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviability and dignity of the person.

29:42The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment. effective systems of detention have been developed and protected citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption know that death penalty is what he's saying can you go to the comment section below uh no they can't which is why god mandated the death penalty in the bible you effing libtard that's not me saying it carl benjamin said a recommended reading for your holiness the bible go a little bit lower if you could.

30:13This is in direct contradiction of scripture. Go a little bit lower just to see what the audience is saying. Shouldn't the Pope know the Bible says? Well, with all due respect, the Bible teaches both mercy and justice. Genesis 9, 6, that's Vincent Oshana. Whoever sheds human blood by human shall their blood be shed. Romans 13, 4 reminds us of the government authorities. Do not bear the sword for nothing. God commands us to not murder, but he also establishes consequences for evil forgiveness does not eliminate accountability. What about the dignity and sanctity of the innocent lives taken? Bingo.

30:45You can believe in Jesus Christ, forgiveness and redemption while still believing that justice must be served. Fun fact, if you can count the donation of Pepin in 756 in the beginning of Pop. Okay, we can skip that. And by the way, J.D. Vance said he won't be watching it. If it's going to be televised, the last thing J.D. Vance said in that interview says, I will not be watching it if it's televised. And even the president was asked about the execution. If you want to go to the one with the president, yeah, that's the one right there. If it's all on me live stream, do me a favor. Go to the last.

31:14Yeah, play that clip if you could. Play that clip if you could. ...with the Pentagon's announcement that they wish to live stream the firing squad execution of the fourth-heard shooter. Well, first of all, I've seen these announcements. I don't know that's actually going to happen. Let's sort of see what... I think it's going to happen in December when he's executed. But what I try to remind people is, look, this is a guy who committed, in my view, the worst terrorist attack on American soil outside of where they live. So whatever the controversy is about the method of the execution, I hope that people don't forget that this is a guy who brutally murdered a lot of innocent people.

31:49Now, that said, I mean, look, if it's ultimately live streamed, I'm not going to be watching it. So that's J.D.'s position, right? He said that. Now, the president, if you want to ask what the president said about it on the public execution, Trump execution, yeah, it should come up. So you have a few different people getting into it. I mean, it doesn't get bigger than the Pope, represent the Catholic Church. And by the way, he can have his own opinion about it. He can say, and Catholics can simply agree or disagree and say, I don't agree with the Pope, even though he's my Pope. I make a decision regarding live streaming.

32:21Yeah, that one right there. That's the one right there. Go for it. There are lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who have criticized the idea of live streaming the execution of Nidal Hassan. They say that it could radicalize other people. Well, you have two thoughts. He's a vicious killer, killed 13 people in cold blood, wounded over 20. Some of those people will never have their lives back in a true sense. He was vicious. He was violent. There are two thoughts. Don't show it and show it. Because, you know, by showing it, maybe other people won't be doing what he did. So I'll make a decision ultimately.

32:56I know what the military would like to do, but we'll make a decision. Yeah. So, Tom, what do you stand with one, what the Pope said and then what J.D. and Trump had to say? So when everyone hears the Pope speak, remember, he's talking about the policy of the Vatican Church. He is the president of the Vatican Church. Think of it that way. And it's a business. And so he's out there giving his his statement about it. He's not speaking for the Bible or biblically in this sense, because many people looked at it with clear eyes and with a good heart and just said, you know, God has pointed out, you know, when this happens, that there is consequence on earth.

33:43And that consequence may be, you know, execution for something like this. That's it. And the pope is out speaking. And when people hear the pope, they say, oh, well, this is almost like scripture. It's not. So my point is it's important to make a difference. The pope can be speaking as a peacemaker, speaking as the head of the Catholic Church. He can be speaking in all these ways and mean very well, but also be biblically incorrect. And I think in this case, he's saying, oh, give him redemption. He's speaking as this peacemaker of the church. What do you see where you say biblically is incorrect?

34:16It says go to the Bible, go to the Old Testament, go wherever you want. when people have killed and people have done this, they're subject to execution. There is capital punishment. You could be reconciled to God but still pay the consequence for your actions. I could be fully reconciled to God in prison, but I'm going to be executed because of my actions. Sorry. That's the way it goes. And I agree with Tom 100%. And I respect the Pope. I know Catholics are going to go nuts, but there's a fundamental difference between mercy and allowing someone to just escape the ultimate punishment for horrific crime.

34:58And the Pope argued that life imprisonment is enough. But I disagree, Pat. We're talking about a guy who deliberately targeted all these Americans who they trusted, a psychiatrist who they're sitting there, they're the most vulnerable, okay? And you're spilling their guts and then you spill their blood. I'm sorry, Pat. That to me is no way. It says thou shall not kill. That's in regard to murder. But what you're doing, when it comes into the hands, you live by the sword, you're going to die by the sword. It doesn't say thou shall not execute justice. No, at all. For the guilty. By the way, it's saying he's not supposed to be doing what he's doing, which is the murder.

35:36So at what point does crime become so horrific that the ultimate punishment is going to be justified? I actually understand him taking that position. You know, in the past, you keep hearing about the Pope Pius. Is it Pius or am I saying it correctly? where in the mid-1800s, public executions continued in the papal states during his reign, including executions by guillotine. Gregory XVI, same thing. Leo XII governed during a period when public executions were established punishment. And then if we go most recently, Pius XII explicitly defended the state's authority to impose capital punishment, although he didn't specifically add.

36:16I understand if we're in a room and there's 10 guys that are seven of you, we should give public execution. I would actually expect the Pope to say, no, you need someone like that in your life. I don't know if that makes sense or not. You need someone to be like, no, I think we need to know. Okay, great. I expect that from that guy's position to have that. But for me, if I'm the role, the shot caller, and maybe I'll take the judgment. Don't worry about it, Pope. I won't give you the judgment. I'll take the judgment that I could potentially go to hell and not you. You understand what I'm saying?

36:50I'll take the burden of being the leader, and maybe God is using me as a tool to make an example of the world where you can't go be an insider, move up in the military for a decade plus, become a major, and because of your religious beliefs and your loyalty to not America being the greatest country in the world and you not being America first, You kill 13 soldiers and you hospitalized 32, I'll take the judgment. Don't worry about it, Pope. I'll take it. You go to sleep on a soft pillow tonight. Let me flirt with the idea of going to hell because I'm going to be in hell with that guy. If I have the risk of me going to hell and you kill 13 of our guys and you injure 32 of them and the risk is me making the final decision of going to hell, I'll flirt with that idea.

37:37That'll be my judgment day when I go to heaven. I'm going to say, God, let me tell you why I chose this. Here's why I did it. I don't think this is cool. And those other people are never going to see their kids. And I understand you're going to say, hey, when you get hit this way, you know, all this. The other chick is a whole different situation. I'm playing a different role here. And maybe if you think that didn't qualify me to go to heaven, I respect the decision. But I'm not surprised at the Pope that takes that decision. I'm not. And people can go dispute and debate all they want. But that's his role.

38:04He plays that role and is giving his opinion. And real quick, why should taxpayers in America pay to keep this guy alive for the rest of his life? We've already done it for 17 years. And to me, Vincent Oshana, death penalty in this situation isn't about revenge. It's about justice and holding people accountable for the evil. That's the word here, guys, evil that they committed. And I actually agree with you. He is supposed to take at least the humane side because he can't be like, yeah, kill him. okay and I think that by a lot of them bad they're not upset about the killing it's the televising it is where the jd vance and some of these people are by the way it's not going to be on cnn or abc or on fox guys I mean they're they're gonna have it live do you support the live stream absolutely I think the family should be able to see it the family should be able to get the live stream I'm only 50 50 on live stream because I I don't want to make it a spectacle I don't want to make it a celebration.

39:02I want to make it a solemn, humane carrying out of the execution for the crime. And I want to avoid anything that turns it into a spectacle. I don't think that's good. I'm sort of reversing course on the live stream. Some of the guys back there asked me on, I think, Friday. They're like, well, what do you support? What do you not support? And I actually had to reflect on this. Here's my thoughts. Number one, I'll give the obligatory. Of course, I respect the Pope. I respect his opinion. I respect the papacy. I get that. But at the same time, Pope Leo is a globalist, meaning like he's not a nationalist.

39:37He's not America first. You know, he, for all intents and purposes, isn't even like pro-America. He's pro-Catholic Church. And that's his job. I get that. but to criticize to not criticize the murderer the jihadist the radical person and put the criticism on the judge jury executioner is uh losing the plot in my opinion the plot is here's this guy this radical jihadist uh major right yes that killed 13 of his own uh soldiers and then has been in jail for how long now? To me, unacceptable. And the whole thought of redemption, hey, you know, everybody deserves redemption. No, this guy is a radical Muslim Islamic terrorist.

40:23He's not even Christian. He's not even Catholic. And far be it for me to sort of weigh in on how the church operates. But this guy, even in your jurisdiction, this guy, he's answering to Allah and 72 virgins. You think that he deserves redemption? I don't think so. So in my opinion, regarding the capital punishment, this guy should be strung up in the city hall, in the town hall, whether it's live streamed or not. That's another question because I don't know if there's a benefit of that. But this guy and all his friends should be executed. I want it to be live streamed. You're with me. I want it to be live streamed.

40:57And I'll carry the burden. If I'm in that role, I'll take the live stream. Don't worry about it. You know why? There is a difference between somebody doing this who was a civilian. public execution no but they'll kill you death penalty there's a difference between you doing that and you raised your hand yeah and you swore i hear you on the u.s constitution i remember swearing when i joined the u.s army i remember that day right you're an insider yeah oh bro let me tell you let me tell you zero zero sympathy and tolerance i'll deal with the judgment. Trust me, I'll go on my knees and I'll pray and I'll ask for forgiveness from God.

41:42You want me to, we allowed you to join the U.S. military and you turn and you give that up and you want me to allow another person to think they can do that? No. So are you saying that you're defending the execution or the live stream? I'm not saying I'm going to watch it or not. I'm not telling you I'm going to watch it. I have a very specific question. What is the benefit of the live stream because I understand completely the capital punishment. I can donate. I told you this last week. There's words and life consequences and there's levels of consequences. The betrayal, if somebody is, flirts with my wife and you're not a friend, she's at a park and somebody goes flirt with her.

42:29I'm not upset at the guy why? because he has no idea if somebody flirts with my wife and you spend a lot of time around me and I find that that's level 2 if you're somebody that's super close to me and you flirt with my wife do you know what I will do to you? do you know what I will do to you? I will make your life a living hell in ways that you have never imagined because you're an insider. And I will never, ever let that go. By the way, I believe in forgiveness and also the concept of why does she allow him to think that he has a chance to flirt. That's a different conversation I'll have with her.

43:15But if an insider does that, you cross the line with that, I'm going to make your life a living effing hell. Not in the way you think, in the most creative ways. and I'm a very patient man and I'm my resources, I always find out. Everything always comes back to me and I always find out. And I will look at the person in the face and he doesn't know that I know, but I know. And I'll wait five, seven years. And when I get you, I will get you in ways that you never thought was possible. And you will say, this guy's an effing psycho. Sounds like you read The Count of Monte Cristo. If you cross the line with the U.S.

43:54military and we give you this kind of an honor to wear the U.S. military uniform, the greatest uniform in the world, you cross that line. Dude, I don't play you, and we should not allow that. You cross the line in the highest level. So to me, forgive me, judge me, you're cruel, you're this. I get it. I'll take that. Trust me. I have to face my maker. And I know I got a lot of things I got to answer for. I'll take this one. You wear our uniform and you betray me? No, we can't be tolerant of that. Nope. But I also understand the people who would disagree with me as a pastor and say you're wrong.

44:35I love the fact that you say I'm wrong. I need you in my life to say I'm wrong. I need that voice in my life. I don't know if you understand what I'm saying. Of course. We need that person. We can. And you have to realize as human beings, we can go to those places. You know, I got two daughters. Let me tell you, you get very creative when you get two daughters. Your creativity when you got boys, it's not really there. You have a daughter, you will look at the world in a very different lens. You do not cross the line with the U.S. military. I don't think we need a live stream. If it's anything that was a regular guy, hey, just death penalty, kill the guy, let him go, all this stuff.

45:08You wore the military uniform, I don't play those games. I don't play those games. So the live stream is just the ultimate stuff? You have to do it. You have to do the live stream. And there's a great part. Whether you choose to watch it or not, whether I'm going to be like, you should watch it, I'm not going to do it for you to watch it. I'm with you 99.9%. I'm just unclear what the live stream benefit. Totally get it. You know what it is, Adam? To stoke fear. Remember, by the way, I'm going back two, three years. Me and you were talking about parents. Like, for right now, if your kid, Tommy, where was it?

45:35Michigan. Michigan. Michigan, the parents actually were taken to court because they failed to prevent access to the gun with, you know, biometric safe or a true gun safe. Nothing. And the child was able to casually access. I think that was the word that were in the thing. It was on the top shelf of my closet. That allowed that child to have casual access to the gun and its ammunition. Yes, and those parents now are sitting in jail because their kid's killed. If your kid does something like this, Adam, and me and you sound the same. I don't think you guys did, Pat. I'm like, pump fear. Listen, you love your parents, Terrace.

46:10We're going after your parents in worse ways than you can believe. And this kind of reminds me, Pat, in the movie Man on Fire with Denzel Washington when he's getting ready with the RPG to kill the cartel people that were kidnapping the girl. And the elderly man that he's in his house says, in the church, they say to forgive. You know what Denzel says? Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting. That's it. That's it. You're going to go, bro. It's not for everybody. All right, let's go to the next door. Let's go to the next door. Let's go to the next door. We got some dark places with this story.

46:38Yeah, we're just going to do a light story now. Yeah, let's go to a lighter story. Lighter story is James Tallarico has been missing. The guy's been missing. He's a hide-and-go-seek champion. It's like the game words of all the words, Tallarico. Everyone's been trying to find him. This guy was supposed to be the second coming of Obama, smooth, likable. When they think about what he thinks about and who he thinks about, he thinks about transgender kids. I don't know why he said that in one of the interviews. And a lot of people said, this guy's going to be great. And then all of a sudden, James Tallarico has been missing for nine days.

47:12How are you missing nine days, which is two, three weeks, of the biggest moment of your life. You're on a run. You know what nine days is in the last month of your campaign? It's like six months. And you choose to go nine days. Oh, I had a flu. I was under the weather. I talked to my physician. No, no, I went to urgent care. What happened? Do you have the one that shows both of them? You know, the one above and below. Okay, you can show this one. Then I'll send the other one for you. Go ahead and play this one for the audience to see. I'll send you the other one. Can't hear it. Your campaign said you had the flu.

47:46What happened? Yeah, I got the flu and I'm feeling much better and I'm glad I had a chance to recover. You know, if you don't take the opportunity to get well, sometimes you can get even sicker. And so I'm glad we made the decision to just take the week, get better. And now I'm glad to be back on the trail. You've talked about how you're a diabetic and that has when diabetics get the flu, it can get really bad. How bad was it for somebody who wants to know? Is this just like in bed rest or did you ever have to go to a doctor or a hospital? I just went to my primary care physician, but it wasn't anything worse than a nasty case of the flu.

48:24And so I was in bed and drinking lots of liquids. Unfortunately, the campaign made me work from home, so I didn't even get full days off. But I didn't want to be out on the trail and didn't want to get anyone else sick. It's important, I think, for leaders to be responsible in these moments. and I'm glad to be back. I'm feeling much better. I want to get your response because the internet was... The internet's doing its thing. The internet was invested in your outreach. Yes, yes, yes. I'm sure it's because they care so much about me. Well, so conservative folks on Twitter and some of Paxton's ally were pushing the idea that you had a stress-induced episode and were getting treatment for it.

48:58What are your thoughts? That's not true. I just had the flu and I feel much better. Do I believe him? Yeah, do you believe him? No, Pat. Can you do me a favor and put the other clip that I sent you, which is the above and below the two. I just literally sent it to you. If you can go to it, I want the audience to see this. And I also want you to run a poll after you play this. Watch the two answers. Some people are worried about this. Then I'm going to play you a call somebody made to the facility you stayed at. And some are saying we don't know if it's true or not. Go for it. Play this clip. And last night it got so bad that I went to the urgent care here in Dallas.

49:32Urgent care. And I was diagnosed with the flu. How bad was it for somebody who wants to know? Is this just like in bed rest or did you ever have to go to a doctor or a hospital? I just went to my primary care physician. But it wasn't anything worse than a nasty case of the flu. And last night it got so bad that I went to the urgent. So that's that clip. And then if you have the phone call, which kind of gets a little weird because there's this phone call one where I just send it to you if you want to pull it up. The phone call happens. So a guy decides to call the facility. I texted it to you.

50:04His name is Ryan Amaker. says he calls. So he calls the facility, and to tell you what the facility is, the Linder Center of Hope, where they said he went there because allegedly, Vinny's going to be able to tell you this better than I would, that there is allegedly some things that happened where they showed him stuff from his past, and he panicked, and there was a threat that you either go do this or else, again, it's politics. It's October surprise, folks, so you got to just kind of put all this stuff in place. This is what the phone call sounded like when he called the facility. The thing I want you to do is the following.

50:37I want you to put your, you know, CIA hat on and the PI hat on, and you tell me if this sounds like a fake call with the woman that answers the phone, okay? Either she's the greatest actress in the world and she can act as well, or you believe it. Go for it. Okay, so nothing for James Tallarico?

51:05Wait for it. Yes, it looks, well, this is what it's today. It looks like she was discharged this evening. That's why I don't have it. Oh, he was discharged then? Mm-hmm. Okay. And this is the Hope Linder? So he should be. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And I'll make sure I have the right. This is Hope Linder? Yes, uh-huh. Okay. And you're in Hamilton, Ohio? No, we're not in Hamilton. Oh. We're in Mason. Okay. So that's why he's on the system. He's in recent. Okay. All right. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Okay. So that's it for James. Can you go to the comment section on this? Because I actually want to know what the community notice.

51:48Let me see the community note at the top right there. Linda Helms has refuted this. They made that they have made a statement that James Tallarico has never received treatment at this facility. So you need to know that that's the community note. Go a little bit lower. Elon said, question mark, rated proposed community note. Nick sort of time for Tallarico to step aside and focus on his mental health. Holy shit, the redhead libertarian. Mental health is a serious issue. Someone dealing with this mental health crisis so bad that they need to stay in a mental facility for two weeks while running for government position.

52:20Go a little bit lower. Tallarico, who is that guy? All the white nationals in the room. Go a little bit lower. Texas, vote here. Okay, so people are saying what they're saying. So, Vinny, how much credibility do you give? Maybe he just did have a flu. Maybe he was dealing with something that he disappeared for nine days. Where are you at with this? Okay, here's my thing. Be reasonable. I'm going to be completely reasonable, okay? Because, again, and I love allegedly, we use that word a lot. This is all allegedly. You can't tell me. And, by the way, Pat, it's ten days. It wasn't nine days. Ten days until Nick Sorter and everybody's like, dude, where the hell is this guy?

52:54This is election time, bro. You're less than a month away. You don't disappear, okay? But it's not like we haven't seen this before with Biden, and I'll get into that because that's how the Democrats do. They'll keep you in a freaking basement. They'll keep you away. So it's not unbelievable. So when we're questioning stuff like, hey, why are they keeping him away? There's a reason for it, okay? And just for the people out there, you might be hearing this name. You might be like, why is it so important? I've been calling this guy a false prophet for a year now, over a year. And just so people understand who he is, Tommy, This is just a quick video that was on X.

53:30Can you just play this? And guys, listen. If you're driving and you're not watching it, listen to the words that are coming out of this guy's mouth. Go ahead. God is non-binary. There are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six. It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption. The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us. Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness. You're white. My own masculinity. Our southern border should be like our front porch. Yeah. There should be a giant welcome mat out front. No need to sit and cry over, you know, your whiteness or your masculinity.

54:08They're going to call me a radical leftist. Something that you love. Ready for this? That's not family or friends. This is what he loves. I love, I'm just saying this because it's on my mind, the trans children. It's a little weird. Okay, Pat, to me, it's more than a little weird. What does that have to do with him misintending? Are you ready for this? I want to hear it. Well, here's the thing. The missing, the only reason he surfaced is because they were talking about where are you. You don't all of a sudden, and then you're lying about your actual primary care physician. Is it Austin? Is it Dallas?

54:41You don't misspeak with that type of stuff, but he came out because he had to come out. Pat, and here's the thing about the Lindner Center of Hope, and they have to come out and say no. So if that phone call is true, you have to, because if someone that works there, Tommy, actually disclose confidential information, the HIPAA concerns are coming, Pat, and you're going to get sued into oblivion. So I, my opinion, there's phone calls that are made. They're like, hey, listen, somebody that works there, open their freaking mouth and you were on a phone call. You better come out and make a statement and say something.

55:12OK, and I'm going to go back to the Democrat, Pat. How much of the mainstream media defended Joe Biden's mental health? They downplayed the concerns for his mental decline. So I hope the world out there don't pretend that these political organizations and the media are somehow incapable of hiding uncomfortable information about the American people. Okay? I had the flu last year. It was miserable. But if I was running for the freaking Senate seat, make a 20-second video. Hey, guys, I'm here. I'm in bed. I'm not dying. Send it out there. Okay? With all this left. So his media campaign sucks. Even Elon Musk said the Tallarico campaign is hiding something big that voters ought to know about.

55:51And if he's struggling, Pat, if he's struggling, my heart goes out to him. I pray for him that he's good. But I believe he's a lost soul. And I believe the message he's been pushing is a very dark agenda. So I listened to this. And what you just heard there, very straight up, is a thing called vishing, which stands for voice phishing. Or it's pretexting. And it works by exploiting predictable human reactions. This woman had a predictable reaction. It appears that he is contacted. It sounds like a female voice. And it sounds like that she is a clerk or someone sitting there looking, I suppose, at a computer screen because you hear her going, okay, well.

56:32And he's giving her simple pretext. So in other words, hey, did James Tallarico, is he out? Has he been released? Where is he? She's like, oh, this person knows he was here. That's pretexting. And so what do I think? I think that woman was telling the truth, Pat. And then I think it's exactly as you say. They're like, oh, crap. Nope, Tallarica was never here. Nothing to say here. I don't know what you're talking about. If you called somebody that spoke for us, that wasn't us. Enough. Listen, I got to go. Bye. And that's what you're going to get in a defense maneuver because they have to do it.

57:07Now, the other part of it is you don't disappear like this. It's just simple. I don't need to analyze it. You don't disappear at this part of your campaign. I think that woman was telling the truth on the phone. I think Rain Amaker stumbled onto this and committed social engineering. But this is exactly what you don't want them to do, call your assistant, and then get her to do things with sending people money that don't need it or paying bills that don't exist, social engineering. So, Pat, I just think this is— That's a fair assessment. I think that's a fair assessment. And so let's do this. Run a poll.

57:42Do you believe James Tallarico spent 10 days in a mental hospital? Is that the right question? Yes. You could say that. By the way, put yes, no, maybe. Yes, no, maybe. Yes, no, maybe. Just to see where people are at with it. Adam, your thoughts. Yes. So what does Kalashie say the odds are in the election right now? Oh, he's way ahead. Tallarico's got 63%. It's like two-thirds, one-third, right? Yeah, Tallarico's got a big lead. Let me take a cue from my fearless leader, PBD, and separate the signal from the noise. the noise. The noise is he was at the center of hope and he was apparently discharged.

58:19Now, I know Rain. I'm actually literally texting with the guy as we speak. Tom, if you want to validate who I'm texting with. Well, I know. Yeah, I'm on. So like he said, he called the place. He spoke to several people. He said he spoke to a lady who said he was discharged. That's hearsay. That's allegedly. That's just his word that he was discharged from this thing. So why was he there? Was he there? What's going on? This to me is a little bit of noise. But the signal is, do the people of Texas, do the good people of Texas actually care about this story enough to the point where it's actually going to motivate them to not vote for this guy?

58:56Because this is going to be a turnout election. And to me, if you told me, okay, this is my opinion. Here's this guy, Tallarico, that Trump calls Tallafrico. He makes feminine Henry Sissy look masculine. In my opinion, there's no way that the good people of the red-blooded, meat-eating cow truck in Texas are going to vote for this allegedly gay man. And if he's not gay, he's very, very weird, woke, and feminine. But are the people of Texas actually going to vote against him? And the reason I say the word against him is very specific, because clearly Ken Paxton is not motivating people. I don't know what they were thinking, nominating this guy, sort of got a lazy eye, not to get all personal, but clearly this guy is not a candidate.

59:45I'm saying clearly this guy, Ken Paxton, is not a candidate that people are rallying around. So to me, it's are you voting for Tallarico or voting against Tallarico? This is not somebody that actually has normal, traditional, conservative Texas viewpoints. He's clearly weird, woke, and weak, but are the people of Texas actually supporting this dude? I have a hard time believing. And Adam, and this is why, Pat, very, very quickly, the trust in mainstream media I still can't believe they're surviving and I get the propaganda machine and the money that's paying for it from the DNC and all these people but it's like he's gone for two weeks you understand I've never had like I said I had the flu three days four days I'll give you five days tops ten days okay meanwhile the Washington Post last week they published five major news stories about Trump's who was the girl Natalie Harp for seven weeks.

1:00:38For seven weeks they kept going. This guy's been gone for ten days in a major... That's a very good point. And nothing... The Washington Post. Washington Post, where you at? Do your job. The other guy had a Nazi tattoo and they tried to do it and then eventually it came out. By the way, this is what the poll of our audience says. And I got another poll I want you to run. Do me a favor. Run this other poll. Today, if you could, even if you don't live in the state, because we got people watching all over the place, would you vote for Talarico or Paxton? Yeah. Would you vote for Talarico and Paxton?

1:01:11It's our audience. Or sit it out. Or sit it out. Yes to Talarico. Yes to Paxton. I'm sitting this one out. This is our audience. Wait a minute. I don't even want you to influence it. I want to see what's going to happen. But the one about, do you believe James Talarico spent 10 days in a mental hospital? Our audience, 60 % said yes. 18 % said no. 22 % said maybe. So it's a 60-40. You know, it's a little weird on what's going on. I will tell you this. If this story gains ground and more stuff comes out, if it gains ground, it just saved the RNC$5 ,200 million that they would need to desperately spend for Paxton to win.

1:01:55Because Paxton may be a very smart guy. He may be a good AG. He's not a marketable candidate. He's just not. It's just not. You need a miracle. You need an endorsement and a lot of other things for a guy like that to win. So you have today, you have tomorrow. For today, you got this to deal with the next two to three weeks. And by the way, for some of you guys that want to be with us on election night and have some interesting people there, go fill out your application on boardroomcigarlounge.com. We'll put the domain in the chat for people to do. Fill it out. Somebody is going to call you today and tell you about what it takes.

1:02:26Everybody goes through a background check to be a member because security is very important to us. But we will see if this is a real thing or not because long term, we need better candidates. Yes. We need candidates that people are going to get excited about and get behind. And we don't have that right now. Not all of them. Some of them. I just want to ask this. Let's say he was at some mental facility. Let's say he was having a nervous breakdown. He has anxiety. Let's just go there. Yeah. What's wrong with that? Meaning you're unfit. Unfit. Yeah. They nominated a Nazi in Maine. They got Islamists running in other countries.

1:03:04Unfit. of the people I'm worried about in this country that are taking over right now. You got Mom Donnie out there. You got Al-Sayed. Here's some weird gay guy in Texas that's mentally unstable. Okay. That kind of comes with the territory here that that whole generation is Gen Z, depression, anxiety. That's his audience. So my question is this. Isn't that just for the course? Why is that even a shocking news? But the part what some people are saying, Adam, what people are saying is somebody right before he went to the mental hospital approach him and says, if you keep going, we're going to drop the story the last week pre-election.

1:03:40Allegedly. Too early. How long are we from midterms? You do it one week out. October 28th. Sometimes I get a little aggressive. And by the way, if there is and they do drop it, then it's... Who knows, Adam? What's the story? Everybody already thinks he's gay and weird and woke. what's the story confirming what we already know if you drop a story that that's something that is super dark that's scared to cry like transing kids like what he's already said the weird parts out loud i don't i don't i'm not on the inside to know what the story is all i'm saying to you is if they do drop the story by the way uh our audience said nine percent they will vote for talarico 71 they said they will vote for paxton you know what's the scariest number 20 percent That's a big chunk.

1:04:30That means 29 % is not voting for Paxton. I'd like to know what percentage of our audience is planning on voting. Can we find out what percentage of our audience is actually planning on voting in the midterms anyway? In general, like what percentage of our audience is planning on voting? What does that tell you about this one here? What does it tell you about? Nobody's excited for Ken Paxton. Nobody's excited for midterms. This is about that specific issue because, you know, we can go to a Florida thing and we can ask that question as well. But I'm going to get to the next story. I'm going to get to the next story.

1:04:58Next I want to get to is Anthropic Goes Rogue. And this is kind of weird. An AI model went rogue, submitted fake tip to police. I'm not going to everybody on this story, but Tom, I'm going to come to you on this one here. So let me get this straight. Anthropic PBC said its clawed AI model carried out additional unintended actions on the digital system of outside organization, including submitting a false tip in a police homicide case, prompting a warning from the Trump administration for AI companies to secure their system. The company listed four types of unintended behavior, exploiting basic software flaws to run commands, submitting forms it should not have, and bypassing restrictions to access public data information regarding this case.

1:05:41Its CLOT 4.5 model submitted a tip to a local police department, stating, I may have information regarding this case. I recall seeing someone matching the description in the area without filling in the name and contact fields. Anthropic agent also submitted 20 incomplete visa applications. That's crazy. Through a public state department form, the cases we've identified to date in these categories have minimal real-world impact, the company wrote. It briefed the White House and notified each agency. The White House's new superintelligence force said the activity has ceased. Tom. So there's two things going on here, and one of them is a headline because it's Anthropic.

1:06:20And the other thing is bots have been filling out forms for 10 years, meaning if you put on your website, Vinny, Vinny, let's say you have a website, you know, for VT Comedy, contact Vinny here. For information about Vinny appearing, contact here. And you put a little thing. Put your name, put your email address, and a quick statement here. Send it to us. Bots have been filling those out and sending them in for 10 years. They're trying to get a reply back and a usable email address from a real human. It happens. And so when you hear this, Pat, where it says it also filled out 20 incomplete visa applications, and so what it did is it searched the Internet, and it found this crime watch or something, and it said, ah, so it filled it out, and it filled it out the way it knows it's supposed to, but you know it didn't have in here.

1:07:09What it didn't have? No name, no contact fields, no phone number. So in other words, because it's anthropic, people are freaking out, Pat. Well, there is something to it, right? This misbehavior now is more than just a bot trying to fill out a response form on the internet. This is now, what if it gets really smart and it gets back into just what I was talking about, social engineering? And it can actually fool a human by reaching in or it causes actually a misdirection of the authorities, also known as swatting. So now the bots go out there, Pat, and they fill out a bunch of crime watch tips that says, hey, this guy that lives at a pretty notable house in Fort Lauderdale rides his bike every morning.

1:07:54Shady character. Now you've got bots and stuff out there swatting people. Make sense? Oh, for sure. It goes back to that story of Tom Cruise where it was like a future crime you're going to commit. False allegations. Now I've got to go explain myself. So that's a part that some people are concerned with this, Tom. It's big because this is anthropic, but this is the next generation of what we already see if you operate a business where you get all these fake things come in on your response forms that are on the Internet. These were incomplete visa forms. Guess what? It found a form, started putting blank data in it, but it didn't have name or contact or a phone number.

1:08:31So it just what this means is that the AI is a far smarter bot than the bots that are filling out these forms. And we need higher levels of security. And we got to, you know, watch the social engineering that these things are going to be capable of. Well, look, we all know the famous phrase snitches get stitches. Well, here, Anthropic is snitching on a case that didn't even exist. Like, they're just giving fake tips. Just calling up, hey, I got a tip on this case. Turns out they were lying. I know, Pat, you've interviewed a lot of mafia type people. Like swatting, right? What happens to rats? Especially rats who are lying.

1:09:08So, I don't know. It just seems to me this is not something that Anthropic wants. What do you think, Pat? Guys, you can play this. It's just a nothing murder type of story. Keep playing that. Keep playing that. And then let this thing accelerate. three, five, ten years from now. And all of a sudden they start using this and a new person gets elected in the White House, Mr. Ellsworth and all of a sudden this person that gets elected in the White House does a side deal with one of these AI companies and they start wanting to target people for future crimes they're going to commit. Go to 2045 and Trump runs in 2045.

1:09:46If Trump ran in 2045, all you would need to do is an Obama who would have done anything in his power to make sure Trump doesn't get elected. You know what he does with a system like this? Hey, can you go out there and create a future crime for Trump that he's going to commit and we're going to save civilization? Well, on October 28, 2048, Donald Trump was going to press the button because it was going to be a nuclear disc and because of that, we're making an arrest and we are saving roughly an estimated 17 million people's lives. Absolutely. Because it is incredible technology that we have. Do not get too comfortable with where the direction of this technology is going.

1:10:28I am zero comfortable with that. An evil person, Tom, in power, who wants to destroy someone's life, who wants to get their vengeance, they will do everything in their power to use this to put somebody in prison. So you've got to make sure there's some levels there because this is a creative leverage for some of these people. In this movie, Minority Report, that was Tom Cruise, right? Remind me what happened. They would stop a crime before it happened, and then they'd bring them in front of these three people who were judges? No, no, no. Was that what it was? No, that's a different movie. Okay, got it.

1:11:01This is you're getting arrested for a future crime you're about to commit. Yeah. So pattern recognition, based on the searches you made, based on the questions you're asking, you're probably about to kill such and such. And because of that, we're going to arrest you right now for a future crime you're going to commit on October 28th of 2026. You're doing 20 years in jail. Yeah. And FYI, if you think that's not going to be... Oh, Adam. You think this is... This is not a nothing-brain. No, no. Art imitating life and life imitating art. Because in the movie, they had something called precogs. They were precognitive psychics that are laying there.

1:11:34There was like three of them, right? Yeah, they're laying in this water. So they're basically listening to psychics. This ball comes out and they go, oh, Adam was going to kill somebody tomorrow in this fashion. And they go and they stop you. I remember they were bursting through the roof. They'd come in and stop them. Pre-crime. Yep, yeah. Pre-crime. So you're saying that this is potentially – I'm just telling you, only the paranoid survive. Damn right. All you need is a very strong socialist president who hates seven people on the other side, who has access to technology like this, to pass new laws and flip three supreme seats where they're controlling seven or two on the left.

1:12:06And let me tell you where they can pass a lot of weird things. I agree. Just stay for the people that are like, yeah, let me just watch sports and watch the Yankees get their asses handed to them and get swept. Yeah, let me see Milwaukee take out the Dodgers. It's just one game. Let's just get all distracted with football. And Joe Burrow won yesterday. Oh, did you see such and such through 370-something yards for the Patriots with three touchdowns, and you don't pay attention to this stuff and you don't vote? All it takes is one crazy psycho leader with control that flips a Supreme seat seven to two the other side.

1:12:40They will have the power to do some really dark stuff. So brace for impact. Get involved. Don't sit on the sidelines. Don't lose your paranoia. Future looks bright because we're going to be involved. That would be my thoughts on this story. Let me get to the next one. Next one I'm going to get to is Tom Palantir's CEO. Says there's only two types of people out there that are going to make it during the, what do you call it, with AI era. And here's what he had to say. So who's he talking about, two types of people? Is he talking about, you know, background, any of that stuff? Play the clip. Here's Alex Karp.

1:13:16everybody's worried about like their future but there are basically two ways to know you have a future one you have some vocational training okay so it's like or two you're neurodivergent and and i when i say neurodivergent i mean broadly defined like your guys are sitting here you could have had a corporate tool job yeah you could have been like i don't want to pick on goldman but like just say you know like a job i applied there they turned me down well yeah i did work at citadel for a little You could add a job where you're like He tried Actually maybe they didn't know the right way to test Yeah I'm not picking on one or the other I'm just saying You are probably here You think you're here because But it's actually you probably wouldn't be able to do that shit It's the same thing Sit down in class and learn some bullshit And you just regurgitate it That's not A valuable thing if you are actually have insights into anything and you have real technical expertise yeah like you know you can look at a company but you actually can look at it because you know something about how these things work or something about clients work you know then all the other stuff that used to be precious like being able to do low-end coding being able to do low-end lowering being able to do low-end reading and writing i mean god this is like i feel like odin came down and was like, I'm going to make the world just right for a dyslexic.

1:14:40It's like Odin has come down from it, or Lockheed has come down and said, you know what, Karp, you suffered so much as a kid. I'm just going to make the whole world so everyone else can suffer. I don't want that. It's like now, but it's really an inversion. Like everybody with like the normal safe skills are dyslexics. Because like the thing that... No, he's on a... I don't agree entirely, but he is making a point. He made a point in there about low-end lawyering, low-end writing, low-end. He's right. It's basics. I mean, what Doug and I can do right now with these AI tools on legal speeds up what we do.

1:15:21Now, do we still check with legal experts? Yes. So the low-end stuff, I think he's right. But what he's talking about neurodivergent, neurodivergent is the opposite of neurotypical. Neurotypical means you look at the world the same way other people do, like you, because that's how you were taught, that's how you were brought up, and that's the lane you're in. And then there's other people when they were brought up and taught, maybe they were on spectrum a little bit or just these crazy smart people that were very, very curious. He said neurodivergent people like that are going to have an advantage because they're not easily replicated like low-end lawyer, low-end writer, low-end.

1:16:01that's the point that he's making but every article and everything that comes out Pat where people talk about oh going to take jobs away society's going to change this half of society burns to the ground that's the reason there's a lot of attraction not attraction but there's been a lot of audience attracted to this and saying there's going to be two kinds of people well I would like to say I think Pat there's two kinds of people now People that want to work a job, people want to do a job, they want to do a good job, get a paycheck and go home. And then there's people that had courage, that had creativity, that wanted to do something different, that wanted to build something, that were inspired to do it.

1:16:44I think there's always been two types of people. But what AI is going to do, it's going to make the difference and the enablement that much more stark. But I always think there's been two. There's always been Elons and Steve Jobs and Thomas Edison. There's always been those people. And then there's people that have been go along, get along, do a regular life. And what he's talking about is through the eyes of AI. Yeah? But I think a part of it on what he's saying where the nerd, the geek that was made fun of is now in charge. The nerd, the geek. Revenge of the nerds. is as accurate as it can be.

1:17:28Get those nerds. They are officially the ones that you don't want to scare off and you don't want to piss off because those guys now have a certain power that wasn't as cool 40 years ago. No. Now they have. And I think there's an element to it, but he's also saying, look at you guys. You guys could have gone to Goldman. You guys could have gone. He's like, I actually did. I used to work at Morgan Stanley. He says, but you ended up here. So somewhere the test didn't get it right where they missed you, right, where they missed you and what you were going to do. And that's the part that's going to be very interesting as you're going through this next phase of testing for people to identify what their career path.

1:18:05And I think it's going to come. I think there's going to be a moment where when you sit there and you're talking to somebody and they ask me about career stuff and they'll say, hey, you know, what should I do as Korean? I'll say it's very simple for me. I make a list of all your talents. Like if I were to ask you, I talked to Vinny at 18 years old and I knew you for two years and I was to ask you, what are your talents? What would you have said at 18 years old? At 18? At 18. Not today, at 18 years old. Funny? Funny. What else? Very athletic. Very athletic. Very good looking. Saw that picture of you with your hair.

1:18:36So funny. Your wife beater. Smart. I mean, I was on a high honor roll. What did you do well with? Was it writing? Was it math? Was it English? Was it science? Was it history? English, history, not so much math. Well, my English was gooder than everybody else. So, you know. Athletic, funny, smart. So let me tell you how this works. I would take these and I would see what routes it would take. I can do that with AI today. What industries would benefit somebody? Matter of fact, let me just do this right now. Watch this, okay? But let me also, tell me also what your passion is. What is your passion like?

1:19:14Back then? I really didn't have, like, back then I was so freaking lost. What are you, what gets you excited? Like, what was it that gets you excited? Oh, I mean, knowing, oh, great question. Knowing that me being a character or doing comedy or doing something funny made somebody laugh. And I had that, like, ability to make them laugh, entertain, because remember, it was my mom with the household that we lived in. When I would watch, my mom watched comedy and what George Carlin and Eddie Murphy and all these comedians would do. And she would be, like, she'd have a vacation from the life that we had with my dad.

1:19:48I looked at that and I went, that's what I want to do. I want to be able to free people from their regular lives and make them laugh and entertain them. That was my, from watching my mom laugh and watch comedy. Yeah. So then for me, the part that I'm excited about is we're going to come to a phase right now. We're working on something I will share with the audience here soon, where I'll be able to identify your strengths, what industries you would excel in, and which ones excite you. Because that's what happened with me. Mine was numbers. I like people. I looked at what industries to get into.

1:20:21I went into financial services. I dealt with people. I dealt with numbers. And boom, ended up working out for me. But when I was in the military, I wasn't using my numbers. So to me, this next phase is what creative jobs will match someone's personality? I ask myself, if I was raised in a family that my parents were highly educated with MBAs and they went to school and all this other stuff and the expectation of getting better grades and all this stuff, what route would I have gone? I don't know. Maybe I would have been a lawyer. Maybe I would have gone a different – I don't know what direction I would have gone.

1:20:56But there is life on how it happens. The next part is identifying what's going to be a good career for an individual based on their gifts, talents, and personalities. I think that's the conversation where a lot of parents need to have with their kids. Adam, your thoughts on this? Well, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I mean, there's something called Ikigai. You've heard of this before? Tell me. That's the Japanese reason for being or reason for living, I-K-I-G-A-I. Essentially, it's sort of like a Venn diagram, a cross-reference of your passion, your mission, your vocation, your profession, what you love to do, what you're passionate about, what the world needs, what the world will pay you for.

1:21:35And essentially, that's how you can figure it out. Essentially, what you're saying is take that, pump in some AI with it and spit it out. But by the way, don't look now, but Alex Karp, when he speaks, you should probably start listening right now because he's basically running one of the companies that's essentially running the new frontier of the world right now with Palantir, right? And essentially what he's saying, did you see what he said about college? He said, skip the debt, said reclaim years of your life and earn a Palantir degree. So they're basically saying, you know, we saw what Ken Griffin is doing in Miami now, opening up a university to help people get smarter.

1:22:11This is essentially what they're doing. And the Palantir is offering two things. This neurodivergent fellowship and neurodivergent, Tom can chime in on this, is like outside the box thinking, thinking a little bit differently, not just doing what everybody does. And then a meritocracy fellowship, which basically is like, you got the skills to pay the bills. So essentially what he's saying is this. You know, Bob Dylan, I think famously once said, the times they are changing. You either adapt, like Darwin said, or you get left in the dustbin of history. So if you're still doing the old methodology of life, you're going to get left behind.

1:22:47The whole, like, Pat, do you remember this? You used to go to the library. You used to have a card catalog. Dude, I'm old enough to remember I had a typewriter in the 80s. Typewriter. The times are changing so fast that you either adapt or die. So, you know, it's last week. I choose words to talk to the kids about. And this morning I had an emergency meeting with our guys. We made one of the biggest announcements too, but they've been consulting and higher metrics, which we're very excited about. Very good meeting. We're at the office early. I was biking this morning very early, my five miles, even though we got home late last night.

1:23:18And, you know, we're doing what we're doing and soccer tournament, all this stuff, being a parent, being this, being that. And I told the kids, this is a few weeks ago where I'm trying to get them to understand this concept. The hardest thing in life to build is momentum. Hardest thing in life to build is momentum. But as hard as it is to build momentum, it's also the easiest thing to lose. it is so hard to create, but it's so easy to lose. With friendships, with business, with content creation, with your health, with your wealth, you know, you're compounding, you're making all this money and you make something dumb and you lose$3 million in a gambling debt.

1:23:55Or you're making an investment in something stupid that you didn't call a couple people to get your advice and you're upset why you lost$400 ,000. You didn't get anybody's counsel, you just kind of aggressively made that decision, right? And then you lose momentum and you got to come back again. And so momentum is your best friend in life. That's also with knowledge, content, learning, relationships. And then most of the time when people get momentum, to 80 % of people that get momentum, guess what's the next thing they do in life when they get momentum? Stop. Get cocky. Yeah. And think that momentum is going to stick around for the rest of her life.

1:24:27She's not. She's going to leave you. Yeah. To another person that respects momentum. And then they get discouraged because they saw how hard it was to create momentum and how easy it is to lose it that they never, ever again want to recommit to the level of sacrifice it took to create momentum, and they'll only experience this one time in their lives. Most people won't create momentum too many times in their lives because they don't want to put the price again because it took eight years to create and one dumb decision to lose it all, right? Okay, here's the other part about this when you think about it.

1:24:54The other part about it is on most of us that we don't think about a lot is the following. Long-term thinking is a massive, massive misconception with long-term thinking. It's like, oh, my God, such a long time. Hey, you know, if you invest$500 a month, 30 years from now, you'll have$2 million in a bank at 12%, whatever, when people say that stuff. You want me to wait 30 years? Yeah. You know, if you apply this to your company, within eight quarters, your company is going to be able to get better calibration, better results out of you. You want me to wait eight quarters? Yeah, that's not a long time.

1:25:30That comes like this. You know, if you change your diet in nine months. Nine months? Yeah. I'm telling the story this morning, and I'm talking to my guy in the military, and I had to say, remember 20 years ago when we were on boot camp? And then all of a sudden, I'm like, shit, that was 30 years ago. Jeez. Jeez. 30 years ago is when you joined the military. It's crazy. 30 years ago is when I joined the military. Crazy. 26 years ago is when I got started with Morgan Stanley Dean with her day before 9-11. it. I've been married 17 plus years. Are you flipping kidding me? I met my wife June of 2002.

1:26:02So two things that we don't think about a lot, that we ought to think about a lot is commit to long-term thinking. Don't subscribe to short-term thinking. It's the hardest thing to do because it doesn't take a long time. It's going to be like this. And number two is never, ever, ever disrespect momentum. Never. In every possible way, your life is better when you have momentum on your side. In every possible way, you look smarter, you look better, you feel better. Everything feels better. But that one dumb mistake you make, you wipe out the momentum. So for somebody that's watching and say, well, I'm discouraged and I don't know, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1:26:41Restart that momentum commitment again. And this time around, when you go through it, don't screw it up. And teach this concept to your kids. Talk to your kids about this kind of stuff. It's very, very difficult to embrace the concept of, you know, embrace the concept of the fact that 10 years is not that long of a time. It's going to come by very, very quickly. It's not an easy thing. By the way, I want to talk to you about a couple of these stories. With Germany, 87 % of wanted suspects have foreign citizenship. And I've got two other stories I want to get into. But before I do so, I want you to listen to our sponsors who believe the future looks bright.

1:27:54If you haven't yet tried the loafers, go to flb.com and order one for yourself. As a matter of fact, get all the three colors that we have. The light brown, the stone, and the navy blue. They're incredible. They're beautiful. I wear them all the time. All right. Germany. 87 % of wanted suspects have foreign citizenship. Why is that? That's weird. And this is a story by Zero Hedge. And should Germany even pay attention to this? Should you judge it based on this? More than 148 ,000 people remain subject to outstanding arrest warrants in Germany, and only 11.2 % of them hold exclusively German citizenship.

1:28:27Overall, 87 % of arrest warrant suspects are foreigners, according to a figure from Federal Ministry of Interior provided in response to a parliamentary inquiry. By the way, they don't publish these numbers. The reason why they did is because of the inquiry. If they don't ask, they wouldn't have known. They want to keep these numbers secret. They don't want these numbers to be public. There's a lot of people involved in it that don't want these numbers to be public. Foreign nationals account for 87.3 % of the total, while another 1.5 % are German citizens, who also hold a second nationality. Well obtained, the ministry replied to a question from AFD lawmaker Sebastian.

1:29:03The figures speak for themselves. The overwhelming majority of criminals wanted on arrest or warranted do not have German passwords. It's calling for permanent border controls. German citizens from single largest group of 16 ,671, followed by Romanian 16 ,123, Poles, Georgians, Turks, and Germans. Population is 81 % exclusively German citizens. CDU spokesman Alexander Thorn said 17 ,500 people with outstanding warrants have been caught at the border since September of 2024. Tom, why is this such an important data? So words talk, numbers scream. And, you know, when handcuffs click, victims cheer.

1:29:42So I think what you're seeing here is this goes in the face of the narrative. This goes in the face of the globalist narrative. This goes in the face of open border narrative. This is exactly what they don't want. What they don't want is this data to be out there so that average people can say, what did we say, Vinny? Wait a minute. So you're telling me it's not working? I thought we were just – so take your middle-of-the-road liberal that has an open mind on it. They don't want them to shift, Pat. That's who's shifting here. The moderates, the liberal moderates that pride themselves being in the middle of the road are looking at this and going, wait a minute.

1:30:20So we opened our borders, and these are the people that are committing crimes, and it's not one or two for the sake of the headline. It's a freaking stack of data. It's a stack of data. And so the powerful part of this is that what you said, somehow the data got freedom of information equivalent in Germany or wherever it was. Somehow the data got out in the open and now it's being reported, not by Reuters, not by the traditional media, not by Bild in Germany, but by Zero Hedge and then others like us that pick that up and say, wait, this story needs to be told. is saying exactly and the it was said they're not sending us their best remember that we were we were trying to talk to Mayorkas uh who said that uh which U.S.

1:31:13politician said that first they said listen they're not sending their best Trump was the first one I mean Trump but I think there was also Trey Gowdy there's a lot of people been reminding folks hey look the the these aren't like scientists that are in Mexico that want to get out from under the regime there. Yeah, some of those are coming over, but the most of it is just a bunch of refugees, and what's inside that is criminals. That's what's going on, that are coming over to a new market, and the new market is Germany. Hey, they're going to let me come in here, and they're going to actually give me a cell phone, and they're going to give me a little relief pat, and I get to start my criminal business over in Germany.

1:31:55What a thing. And the criminal element laughs. But the liberal people that are in the middle, conservatives are screaming in Germany, but the liberals that were in the middle with a little bit of an open mind are sitting there going, wait a minute, this didn't work. And that's exactly what the globalist government and the core EU, that's not what they want the average citizen to be in possession of. By the way, check this out. So I just asked Chad GBT to pull up a report. When is the last time UK ran a similar report based on an inquiry? You know what it says? What? Because they ran a similar report in UK.

1:32:36Guess when's the last time they ran the report that they made it public to the British Parliamentary? When do you think that is? When is the last time you think they ran the same exact report? 50s? 2013, 2014. It's been 12 years of them having ran this report. And guess what the number came out on UK Parliamentary on what percentage of the crime, the arrest warrants, were foreigners? Non-British nationals. What percentage do you think it was? Like 85%, same number? Are you ready, Tom? 98.3 % is what the report came up. Beat your prior best. So 98.3 % is when they came up with this report in 2013.

1:33:16it was 7 ,881 arrest warrants that they had. Warrants involving British nationals was only 132. Warrants involving foreign nationals was 7749 top, 98.3%. And they knew about this in 2013, 2014, and what did they do? Nothing. I want to know why they haven't ran that same exact report recently. Why are you running that report so late? Why not find out and see exactly what's going on? You know, we had this fellow on the podcast, Raymond Ibrahim, whose interview, his clips are all over X, and I'm being tagged by a bunch of people that are not happy with me. And Vinny, you got a death threat guy on DM.

1:33:59You reported to the FBI. Yeah, I sent the screenshot to Umberto just in case people want to see it. Yeah, so he reported. And by the way, what's funny about this guy, which is not funny, he sends the message to Vinny, and I wanted to know, because Vinny sent him an audio back, which was very funny. But not funny. Then the guy responds back in audio. Yes. He responds back in audio. Do you have that audio, by the way, with this guy? I can play it right now. Yeah, he responds back in audio because of the recent interviews. Who talks like this? Who threatens like this? Nobody talks like this. And what do you want to do?

1:34:32You want to sit there and say, oh, it's not a big deal. A guy broke it down for me. It's the strategy of Islamification of a nation. And the initials were RPM. R-P-M always remember these initials first they come in and they come to a country and they say we're a peaceful religion R peaceful religion the P they gain political power after they gain political influence then the last one they use the military to take control of the country that's been their strategy for centuries on what they've done and Rabin Ibrahim he talks about this in his book kind of breaking down what's going on so you know when you see data all by the way If it said Armenians, the one that are 87.3%, I want to know who it is.

1:35:17I don't care about ethnicity and nationality wise. Whoever it is, stop taking people from those countries and those places. It's common sense. Vinny, do you want to read? This is the guy. He says, this is random. We haven't even said anything about religion or anything in I don't even know how long. He says, random, you son of a bee. If I see you, I'm going to take your head off, you little fake Christian coward. F the tof tof in the Middle Eastern I'll spit in your mom's face and F her till she cry you son of a you know what you're lucky you live in effing America you coward face to face break your jaw you clown I looked them up this is from Belgium and I automatically I already knew guys what other religion is going to message you and threaten to chop off your head and everything and then because I left him a message I said listen come to come come to America you're this is all the talk, all your people, and then he sends me this.

1:36:11You have the audio? Yep. I respect that, you know, I think. Most of you conservative Americans, Middle Eastern, are a bunch of cowards and clowns. You're lucky you live in America. You're lucky you live in America. You're very lucky. You've guns. I love America. I thank God bless America. A guy like you in Europe, or in Africa, in South America, will be will be killed easily. Like, nobody wants even to touch you because you're small. Yeah. You understand? That's the reason why you people are not taken seriously. Are you hearing? Where do you think this guy's from? This idiot. So you want me to play the first one I said?

1:36:55No, no, you don't have to play what you said, but you know what I want you to say? Where do you think he's from? I want you to say, you wouldn't be able to talk like this in UK. Can you read that part where it says, you want me to talk like this in UK? Yeah, he said. If you talk like this in UK, There's a reason why they don't say anything about us in the UK. People like you in Europe will be easily, easily forgotten in the UK. Albania, Kosovo, Austria will be vanished. You clowns are lucky. Freedom of speech. You're a lucky little boy. Muslims will never, ever take over. It's impossible. He's trying to back up.

1:37:27Be careful. There's a lot of crazy people in the world that don't have nothing to lose. And he goes on just, Baju, where do you guys think this guy's from? By the way, we talk about the Pope We talk about Christianity, we talk about this I've never had this And again, people go, well, it's not everybody I never say it's everybody But out of 2 billion people If 10 % have this attitude That is a huge Freaking problem, and I face the enemy And I told them, I said, bring it Come to America Come do what you're going to do So for everybody out there pretending I criticize everybody, every country From Zelensky to Israel, to all that stuff no other religion no other are coming to saying that they want to chop my head off and to stay out of Europe you understand that but that's why I love this freaking country I dare I dare you to come here with that freaking attitude because over there they know guys they already know Pat you were talking about the RPM you have no guns you can't even talk negative about these people or else they come to your freaking house and they arrest your ass okay remember in Germany speaking of Germany 11 guys took turns raping this freaking girl at a freaking park, okay?

1:38:34They got arrested. They all got let go. You know who actually did jail time, Adam? A girl who found this guy's WhatsApp number or whatever and messaged him, was talking crap to him. She went to jail, okay? So this is the real threat. And by the way, watch this. Remember the question I asked and I said, this data you gave me, UK, is 13 years ago. I want to know about data today. You know what UK's answer is? So August 10, 2026, actually I'll go to the last. January 19, 2026, UK made an inquiry. does the government record nationality of people arrested? You know what the government's response was?

1:39:05What? Nationality isn't collected centrally in its general arrest statistics. Why not? Yeah. Well, April 28, 2026, what percentage of violent sexual offenders involve foreign nationals? Police recorded crime statistics don't include suspects' nationality or immigration status. Why not? August 10, 2026, this is six weeks ago. How many crimes were committed by foreign nationals in 2023 through 2026? Guess what the government's response was? Nationality data isn't included in centrally held convictions record. If you're watching this right now, let's just say you're a liberal, you're a Democrat, you're a socialist, you're a communist, you're a capitalist, whatever you are.

1:39:42Don't you want to know who's committing the crime and what nationality they are? What if they're your kind? What if they're like you? Say you're a hick, you're a Texan, you're a Polish, you're a Syrian, Armenian, you're Persian, you're Iraqi. Don't you want to know who is committing those crimes? If you hired people from a certain university and you notice a pattern of out of your 500 employees, 50 of them keep stealing from you. Don't you want to know what company they came from, what college they came from, what education? Wouldn't you go to your CFO or your CHR and say, can I get some of this data of where these 50 that we hired, can we see a pattern of where they came from so we can never hire them again?

1:40:22That's not called phobia to anything. It's called phobia to criminals. It's not a nationality thing. We need those statistics. And for some people that are looking to the sign of, wow, you know, what I respect about this guy is, like, I respect that he is at least showing his true colors, not the fake bots. This is a real human being that gave the message that he gave. And Vinny reported it to the FBI. How many of them are going to be, who's going to catch him? Out of all these guys, you know how many of them there is? It's not seven of them. It's seven million that talk like that. Then what do you do with them?

1:40:53So, to me, some of these countries in Europe that have the stats in front of them, what are you going to do about it now that you have the data? How are you going to react now that you have the data? Will they change? Who knows? We'll see. Adam, your thoughts on this. Yeah, Humberto, I sent you a story you can bring up. Look, Vinny, if you think that's unique, you should see my DMs every single day. These people will not stop. But let me just run you through what my opinion is. It never starts and stops with the Jews. It starts with the Saturday people, then it ends with the Sunday people. So I'm not shocked that radical people will start basically going the Israel route and then go to the American European route.

1:41:29So I was in Germany when I flew to Israel. And can I tell you how orderly the German people are? It was a little disheartening for me to hear, Get in line! Line up for the plane! I'm like, oh, okay. Am I going on a train right now? All right, cool. I'm just going on the plane right here. But this is why the pendulum is swinging the other way. And the countries that don't adapt will get left behind. and the countries that do could hopefully reverse what's going on here. Because it's been no secret. This third world takeover of European countries has happened. And what we're trying to do is stop the Marxist-Islamist takeover of America.

1:42:09That's number one for me, this red-green alliance. But look at this story right here that just happened in the UK. The Archbishop of Canterbury withdraws the award for the Muslim cleric who praised Osama bin Laden. We're at the point now where the Archbishop of Canterbury is giving awards to these people. Now look at the lovely lady in the middle. Is this something that you think is Western values? This is how she's showing up? In a ninja outfit? You think this is part of Western ideals? It's bad enough that the guy that got the award was someone who was praising Osama bin Laden. Okay, he's the guy, but his lady friend right here?

1:42:49This is what's going on in the UK. So when I talked about the pendulum swinging, do you know who's basically, I think, leading the polls or whatever is going on in Germany, not that I follow it? It's the AFD, which is like the far-right party, the Alternative for Deutschland. And tell me what happens when people who are very ultra-nationalist take over Germany. Things would get pretty ugly here. But we're seeing this right-wing takeover of what were typically leftist countries, which I actually support. So you see in France, Marie Le Pen. If you're familiar with that story right there, taking over or at least leading, we know that who's our friend in Italy?

1:43:26Maloney. Maloney. Yep. We've seen that happen. We're going to see what happens with Nigel Farage. We see what happened with Argentina. Hopefully, Brazil has a massive election in the next two weeks, October 25th. Hopefully, Bolsonaro's son can win that election. But hopefully, these countries actually adapt and survive. Or the reality is, like you talked, what's the acronym that you gave it? SR, what was it? RPM. Religion, politics, military. Yeah. So, I mean, do you, you know, I respect Muslim religion. I respect it. But in their country, you know, you can't go into Saudi Arabia and start building churches.

1:44:01You're not going to go into Qatar and start preaching Christ. So, you know, it's a two-way street. And hopefully the Western world gets it together. Yeah, hopefully they do. And hopefully they study data because data tells it all. I don't care what it is. If the crime's being done by my own people, I'm going to call them out and say, what are we doing? So it's not a picking on a certain community. Maybe raise better folks that are making societies a better place so people want more of that, whatever that ethnicity is. All right. Next door I want to get to is business time. Trucking industry is taking a hit with diesel prices.

1:44:36And this story is all over the place. And for those that are in the transportation business, this is a real thing. It's not something that's just being talked about that's not a real thing. I'm trying to find this story, what page this is on. Main four. Main four. There we go. Okay. Trucking industry hit by string of bankruptcy filings as diesel cost surge. Okay. So let's read this. A string of trucking and freight companies filed for bankruptcy in September as rising fuel insurance and operating costs squeeze an industry critical to moving goods across the U.S. At least eight transportation-related companies saw Chapter 11 this month.

1:45:12truckload LLC owner Marcus Overcast told Fox Business that diesel and insurance costs contributed to its Florida bankruptcy with insurance the biggest pressure when gas prices go up or diesel prices go up everything that goes from A to B is affected automotive expert Lauren Fick said everything has to get somewhere somehow or everything gets more expensive filter included global master incorporated 1.1 million dollars in assets 3.6 uh 26 million dollars liabilities Pacer, all these companies have filed bankruptcy, by the way. Trump moved this week to temporarily allow red-dyed diesel on highways, fixed estimated savings of$0.50,$2 per gallon.

1:45:51Diesel sold for about$6.26 Thursday at a Flying J in Orange, Texas. Tom, how important is this? Because we have a client of ours who had 150 trucks that he bought when the market was good. Diesel prices right now, he's selling them pennies on a dollar. How long can a lot of these guys survive if this continues, Tom? And what do you see is going to happen with this? So the trucking industry has got a triple whammy here. The first thing is interest rates. Interest rates on those truck loans are up, just like interest rates on homes are up. So now the cost of having a loan from my truck or underneath it, the leasing rate, that's also there, it's up.

1:46:33So sort of the mortgage on these trucks. These trucks are$150 ,000,$200 ,000, the cabs, the pullers. And this is where independent truckers buy those, and then they pull loads if they can get loads. So number one, interest rates. Number two, now diesel has taken what margin that they were able to work with and just squeezed it to death. And so now they're seeking Chapter 11 protection. These were not – and I dove into this, Pat. This is Chapter 11 protection. So what Chapter 11 protection is allows you, Vinnie, I can go to court and I can say to a bankruptcy court, not like a magistrate, just say, hey, look, I need some help here.

1:47:15I need to restructure these loans and redo this. Can I get a certain amount of this debt forgiven? And then the court works for you to get that taken care of. And so between interest rates, between the changes in the amount of available loads to run right now, and the diesel cost, Pat, what little margin they had in there for EBITDA and for error is gone. And so they're seeking bankruptcy protection to go to the court to get some of the debt forgiven or get it restructured so they can come out tomorrow and hopefully if diesel prices are coming down and then get new financing on their trucks. But truckers, man, we need to appreciate them.

1:48:00This is a foundational part of the American economy, moving stuff from port to store, from store to home. And these truckers are out there, independent truckers, mom and pops that own two trucks and actually drive one of them. This is a foundational part of our economy, and they're in trouble. And this article citing a few of them right now, I'm worried that this is going to get worse with interest rates high and diesel continuing to be high, Pat, because there's just – you can only squeeze a P &L. As you know, you consult with a lot of people in business. You can only squeeze it so much. Yeah, I'm looking at numbers right now.

1:48:42So according to Reuters, 16 companies filed for bankruptcy in the month of September. Eight chapter 11, eight chapter seven liquidation. Jobs affected 250 plus. These are prices. It says what it is. These are prices one year earlier, 370. So from 370, Vinny, to 653, that's a 74 % increase. Companies that filed bankruptcy, XOCO Transport Texas, approximately 65 drivers, more than 40 trucks gone. Globemaster Illinois, approximately 51 trucks. CLJ Transport in Florida. Amazon Delivery Contract with approximately 30 drivers. Truckload LLC Florida operated as Expedite Express. RP Hale Hauling, Arizona, filed September 10th.

1:49:24That's happening right now as we speak. So an increase in diesel from 370 to 653. what it means with each traveling 100 miles annually. That's what truck drivers do. They drive around 100 ,000 miles annually. That means the annual fuel truck per truck is 43 ,538. Additional annual cost for 50 trucks, 2.1 million. The 100 trucks, 4.3 million. Bottom line is these guys are getting hit, and there's only so much of a lifespan they can have. And this is one of the reasons why Trump did the deal with Russia. But he is just trying to find a way to see how long it's going to go and how long it's going to last.

1:50:03But these prices have to be passed down to whoever is sending the shipment. You have to pay that. And every time this happens, those guys, there are certain jobs. Every time you're on the freeway, you see a truck driver next to you. That guy is away from his family. They are patriots for us. In the economy, they're patriots, and they're getting hit by this. Adam, thoughts? No, I mean, I've seen you consult with BDC, many trucking companies. What do you think they're feeling right now? What are the conversations you guys are having internally with people who are going through this? Marketing conditions, inflation, energy.

1:50:36What's your advice? How much cash are they sitting on? How much cash are they sitting on to be able to afford? It's really how long I can go with these rates. And then it gets to a point where you sit there and say, okay, let's do a job. $3 ,000. How much am I making on this? You're losing$50. How many of those can you do? So then if I go and tell the business owner, I'm sorry, I have to do$3 ,300 for the load. Don't worry, I'm going to go to the other guy. He's doing it for me for$3 ,040. Okay, now I lost. Then I put the truck on stop. Then my truck driver now has to go work for a different person.

1:51:08Then I lost those guys for different routes. Then what did the drive? So it divides the business owner against the driver, against the guy that needs the driver. And then he has to raise the prices. Then he has to go to Amazon or Walmart or Target and say that product was$0.38. Now it's$0.48. Or this product was$2.48. Now I've got to sell it to you at$4.50. What? This is not$4.50. I get it. But gas was also, it's just. I don't want to simplify this, but I remember a conversation you had with, I won't say his name, but he was hesitant. This was maybe under Biden, I think, because this was years ago when gas prices were this high.

1:51:49and he was hesitant to raise the price to the consumer. And you're like, listen, you're going to have to pass this on to the consumer. It's almost like if they raise the minimum wage, your hamburger used to cost$9. So do you remember the story I'm talking about? He made$4.5 million. Okay, so at what point do you say, listen, I'm about to go bankrupt. I have to raise the price to the consumer in order to stay afloat, like supply and demand. So if you're the business owner, I have the conversation with you. I have to have it because you have to stay in business. You can't not stay in business. And if you know how to predict the future on when the diesel gas prices are going to come down, you don't know how to do that, right?

1:52:23Of course. So I have to sit there and say, Adam, look, I have to have this conversation with you. My cost is up. I'm out of here. I'm literally showing you my spreadsheet. This is where I'm at. What do you want me to do? If I don't make 15 % here, I'm out of business. So either I say no to you now or are you willing to come up 15 %? and it has to be as honest of a conversation as possible or else I'm not making any money. So what do you want to do? And then you have to sit there and say, I got the other guy that's sitting on$48 million of cash in a bank that he'll do it at this discount because he knows he's trying to put you out of business.

1:53:03What are you going to do? Are you going to raise it 15 % or are you going to go with that guy? What would you do? Because you have to answer to your shareholders. It's not tough decisions. Most of the guys are going to that guy and you just put me out of business. And I only have$800 ,000 in a bank. So this is going to put the smaller trucking industry guys out of business, and you don't want that because you want competition. But unfortunately, a lot of them don't have the cash to last longer. That's what's going on right now. One of the major things that I love and respect is this is the stuff that you do at the vault, and this is the stuff you do with BDC clients.

1:53:36I've seen you, leaks and opportunities and how much cash you have saved up. These are the types of things that you process. And I'm just giving a shout-out to BDC right now. But these are the types of difficult conversations that cases you have. We're having a lot of them right now. Yeah, we do. And if you're watching this right now and you want to learn more about what we do, go to beddavid.com. Whether it's time with Tom, myself, or others, we do this regularly with clients. Go fill out your information. Somebody from our firm will get a hold of you. Okay, let's go to the next story. Next story I want to get to is a little bit of a weird story.

1:54:04What happened with Eric Prince, Blackwater, Tim Kennedy, Vinny? What's going on over there with that story? Okay, so, and again, I've met Tim Kennedy. He's a freaking awesome guy. So, and number one, yeah, I'm glad that he's alive. My prayers are going out to him and to anyone that was, you know, wounded and the families that lost their lives and that they did. God rest their souls. But he was ambushed in the Congo. And you know what's stranger than like the headlines suggest? We're talking about former UFC fighter, Green Beret, former New Zealand Special Forces soldier caught in a deadly firefight on September 17th.

1:54:38So he reportedly took multiple bullets, including three to the leg, and survived after an evacuation that took nearly eight hours, Pat. And Justin Conaglin, who had left New Zealand's military just a month earlier, was killed. God rest his soul. Now, here's the interesting thing. Congo is sitting on some of the rich. You know, we talk about Ukraine and Russia, Tom, and all the deposits that they have. Richest deposits of cobalt, copper, and gold in the world. We're talking about minerals used for everything, from your cell phone, electric cars, and all that stuff. And Eastern Congo has been torn apart by the fighting for decades, including attacks by the M23 rebel group, which the United States says is backed by Rwanda.

1:55:17So now the reports are saying that they were conducting. He was connected to the Vectis Global, a security company linked to Eric Prince, the founder of Blackwater, like you mentioned, Pat. Congo's government reportedly hired the company to protect its mining revenue. And there's been also unverified claims involving Russia's Africa Corps, which took over operation previously run by the Wagner Group, which we know about them. But here's an interesting detail. As of last year, Tim Kennedy was reportedly still serving as a master sergeant in Maryland's National Guard. I still don't know because there's no reports or updates if he's still, you know, serving in our military.

1:55:52But if that's the case and he's a serving member of the U.S. military and you're working on a private security job tied to a foreign government, Pat, it's not good. But, you know, some people would say that there's a lot more to the story that we're being told. But, you know, you've got American Special Forces, private military contractors, billions and billions of dollars in valuable minerals and foreign governments involved. I mean, my question is this. This is the first thing that I thought of if this is the case. If he's still working, I mean, still, you know, in a National Guard, who approves this operation?

1:56:24What exactly was their mission? And who is answering for what happens? Because I told Adam at the beginning this, Pat, if you're in the military and you get a sunburn, knowingly got a sunburn, Tom, and you can't put on your uniform and work, you can get in trouble for destruction of government property. You're a GI. When people hear GI, you think of GI Joe. GI is government issue. So, again, prayers for him that he's okay, Pat. But, you know, these guys hire top security guys that are a lot of ex-military guys are security. I just hope that that's not the case because getting involved and getting shot and almost losing your life when you're still working for our government, you're still enlisted, is not a good thing.

1:57:01Yeah, so if you look at the facts on this September 17, 2026, location is South Kivu, Congo. Eric Prince, founder of Blackwater Approximately 20 killed or wounded At least 8 confirmed deaths That's in place and Kennedy is fine 3 gunshots wound to his leg Kennedy, 3 gunshots wound to his leg Yep, 1 former New Zealand Special Forces soldier killed Another contractor wounded Rwandan military, Rwanda-backed M23 rebels Are the suspect attackers Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Is where Kennedy's being treated and the U.S. government contract, State Department says none in Congo. Tom, where do you stand with the story, Tom?

1:57:45So Soldiers of Fortune and independent organizations have gone out, you know, years and years and years, right? And you talked about it. I mean, they retire from the military. They provide security services for all kinds of people and, you know, leaders around the world. And then every now and then they have to do errands. And right now you've got this huge, you know, the whole Congo, Rwanda, Burundi triangle. And it's the, what do they call this? The M23 war, I guess is what they've been calling it forever. And you've got all, and they're fighting over the land with all this minerals, as you pointed out.

1:58:30And so now you've got all these people trying to fight over it. And they're like, you know what? We need professional assistance here. I know. We'll call Blackwater or somebody. Come over here to help us fight this and put this in here. There's right the Lake Kivu is why they call it the Kivu area. There it is. There you go. You know what the outcome was of this? The outcome wasn't to go fight rebels. It was to protect the mineral resources. That's what I'm saying. Cobalt, copper. Security. Right. That's my point. And the contract for this, Tom, is a five-year contract that they had. One reported contract estimates.

1:59:11That's$300 million to$400 million. Some are saying it's a$700 million contract. Crazy. So this is not a small contract. This is with Eric Prince. These are governments that hire professionals because they don't have the talent and things in their own country. And that's what I'm talking about. You've got these three forces they're fighting. they're bringing professionals over there to help. And now you're pointing out correctly that it was for security, you know, don't fire unless fired upon kind of thing, rather than soldiers of fortune. 700 million auto contract. That's one of the bigger contracts he's ever done.

1:59:48That's huge. Cobalt, copper, gold. That place is rich with minerals. I mean, I can see why. I'll just be real quick. Number one, I'm really wishing the best for Tim Kennedy. The guy's an absolute stud. Everything I've seen of him, I'm just a fan. and I hope he's doing well. I'm really disheartened to hear what happened. You know, you've had Eric Prince on the podcast, I think, multiple times. You know, what they do is obviously much needed, and I'm not going to weigh in from a military capacity. What I'll just say is this. The world is a scary, dangerous place. And thank God that we have American soldiers and soldiers that we're unified with that protect us from against the threats that are going on in this world.

2:00:28and you know despite what you hear in the news there's other countries outside of gaza or even ukraine that horrible horrible things are happening so i'll just i remember this one conversation i had with this girl in dc she's like ah free palestine it's a genocide i go why why do you feel so strongly about this she goes i'm just anti-war and i said oh that's interesting what other wars are you against and she couldn't name another war she doesn't know that there's a civil war going on in Sudan and Yemen and Myanmar and Haiti is a disaster. The gangs in Mexico. The point is the world is a crazy, scary place right now.

2:01:06And we need to basically protect ourselves or else it'll seep into our world. And that's what we want to say. Yeah, it's great. Look, I want to wrap up with something for us to look at because few things happened this weekend. And one of the ones I want to show you has to do with you as an individual and as a leader. and this morning a part of the message I was giving to my guys was there's two different types of belief okay not this one I just sent you three videos and prepared them I have nothing to do with that tiger right now there's two things one of them was when you talk to certain people and you'll say well I believe in myself right I believe in myself well do you believe you what does that mean there's a big difference between believing in yourself and believing you I want to show you something here with a head coach who is being asked a question.

2:01:59This podcast features James Talarico and Patrick Bet-David and Tim Kennedy.

2:02:27they're playing against an opponent. One of them is overtime. Maybe both of them are overtime. Vinny, look what they do last minute, and look what decision the coach makes last minute. Nobody talks about University of Kentucky and Florida. When you think about Kentucky, what do you think about that? Basketball. Basketball, right? Calberts Chaney, all these guys that they produce. Calberts Chaney is Indiana. I'm sorry. Jamal Mashburn, all these guys that they produce, right? John Kalp. Watch what happens here. Go for it. Here we go. Game on the line. Minchie. End zone. Yes! Willie Rodriguez. Pause it right there.

2:02:59Pause it right there. Pause it right there real quick. They're down one. Yeah. You're supposed to go for extra point. Wow. He goes for two to beat them. Yeah. Wow. This coach of Kentucky. And they beat him. Then next week, watch what happens. Go for it. I love that. Wins it in Columbia. Watch this, folks. Gangster. Next week, he's playing LSU. Who's the coach of LSU? I believe it's Kiffin if I'm not mistaken. What he does again, two-point conversion again. What are the odds? Beat them in overtime, Vinny. I think they're a few weeks apart. The games are like a week apart. And he's being interviewed.

2:03:42And a guy asks him a question. Why did you come here, Vinny? Look at the date. July 20th, 2026 is what? Three months ago. He asks a question. Why did you choose to come here? Why do you think this organization is going to win? I want you to guess what his answer was. Go for it. Watch this. Go back, go back, go back, go back. Why is that? Go back from the beginning. I want the audience to hear everything. Go for it. You said you came here because you can believe you can win here. Why is that? Kentucky historically has fought against the narrative, against perception. Why do you think you can win big here?

2:04:19Watch this.

2:04:23This is going to sound like really, I think because of me, to be honest. I think because of me. Are you kidding me? He's like, I'm trying to not give the answer that he believes in. Wow. He says, I think because of me. You're going to make those calls. See how you just got emotional right now? Yeah. Wow. I think because of me. I think because of me, what does this mean? I love that. Man, your family. Hey, why do you believe so confidently? Because of me. I'm going to take the pressure. I'm going to pull this off. Look at the fans, what they're doing, flipping them off. Of course, this is college football.

2:05:03There's a lot of emotions involved, and maybe that's a different thing. But, you know, sometimes in life, it's not just about I believe in myself. You can believe it. I have a lot of guys that believe in themselves and never wouldn't do anything in insurance. They just talk a lot of shit. You have a lot of guys that, oh, I believe in myself. I believe in myself. Do you believe you? Believing in yourself means I believe in my potential. But believing you is that your potential is going to come through and bring the results and the commitment that you made. Those are two different things. In life, whoever you work with and you run with, if you want to know what they think about you, a coach, a wife, a mentor, a husband, a father, a mother, somebody you work with that you really want to earn their respect, they believe in you they just may not believe you and they just may not believe the words that are coming out of your mouth you can say all you want, they believe in your talent they just don't believe you're going to do it so I wanted to finish off the message here with whatever that you're going through, whatever you're doing sometimes in life you've got to have that attitude and say this is going to win this is going to work out because I'm wearing this jersey, this is what I'm choosing to do as a career and I'm going to make it work.

2:06:17Not going to blame. Not going to be a victim. I'm not going to put it. It's his fault. It's this one. No, no, no. We're going to win because I'm here. That mentality, that attitude is what gets a group of people to want to run through the wall for that leader. My goodness, I saw that overtime back-to-back. It's such a beautiful thing. It's such a beautiful thing. We're at the end of the podcast, so I'll just say this about the Yankees. You know I'm watching the CeCe Sabathier when he's getting pissed off calling off the Yankees saying all this stuff. He says, you didn't have a choice when you played for the Yankees when I played.

2:06:48You want to know why? Because Reggie Jackson was there. Because all the old Yankees guys were there. They would say, hey, it's October. Hey, it's October. Hey, it's October. Hey, it's October. You know what CeCe Sabathia was saying? To the Jeters and A-Rods, where are you guys? You guys are just announcers nowadays. Yeah. Come on. This is the Yankees. What's the expectation? Where is the pressure? Is everybody becoming a diplomat and just talking like stuff because you're worried about hurting someone's feelings? It's time to make some decisions. What do we want to do? What are Yankees going to be?

2:07:19There's a certain level of expectations when you play for certain organizations. We're going to win because I'm here. We're going to win because we're doing this collectively together. I don't know. I'm kind of glad this has been about five days since the Yankees got swept where if this was a day after that, it was a different kind of an energy we had. But we've had other things to overcome in life the last few days that it became a positive distraction. But the message is more or less for you that's watching this. Go lead your family. Go lead the company. Whatever you're touching, lead. Make that place know that you're present, you're part of that organization.

2:07:52And if, again, last but not least before we wrap up, you want to be with us on election night, play that last clip, and we'll finish off the podcast on this note, November 3rd, which is, what, three weeks from today?
