Pat
I don't think I've ever said this before. Okay, we are officially live, folks. The reason why we're at this set, not our usual set, is because the last episode was a final episode we did in the old set. A new set is being built. When we're ready to reveal it, we'll let you know what the date's gonna be. We're excited about it. Our guest today. Why do I get.

You can do it on the old set, not the new set.
- [01:00]
Tom
No, not.
- [01:00]
Rob Schneider
Can't do it on the new. The new one built. You have to do it on the old one. Temporary one.
- [01:05]
Pat
Look what we did here, Rob. We gave you a nice little place that can fit a couple hundred people. They're not here right now, but we.
- [01:09]
Rob Schneider
Nobody here, baby.
- [01:11]
Pat
You got an audience of seven people that are watching this.
- [01:13]
Tom
They're protesting in Minnesota. They'll be here soon.
- [01:15]
Pat
So I was, I was telling, I, I told Tico, I said, tico, Rob Schneider is going to be on the podcast. And he says, dad, I don't want to go to school. I want to come see him. I said, no, you're going to school, buddy. We'll go on and do the podcast.
- [01:25]
Rob Schneider
But he made like a half good story.
- [01:27]
Pat
Yeah.
- [01:28]
Rob Schneider
I thought he was gonna say. And here he is.
- [01:29]
Pat
No, he's not. No, he's at school. He's at school. But anyways, okay, so we got a lot of stories to cover, Rob. Of course, some of the stuff that we'll cover.
- [01:36]
Rob Schneider
Yeah.
- [01:37]
Pat
With. With things that you got going on. Serious. I guess we got the late night hosts, Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon, all push conspiracy theories that Trump captured Maduro to distract from the Epstein files. I want to get your thoughts on that here in a minute. Conan o' Brien says the F. Trump comics have been co opted by anger just screaming. This is Conan Obama, by the way. Credit to him for saying something like that.
- [02:01]
Rob Schneider
No, I appreciate Conan. I've always appreciated Conan. My first job was with Conan o'.
- [02:06]
Pat
Brien. With Conan.
- [02:07]
Rob Schneider
Well, my first job. Well, it's my first real job in Saturday Night Live.
- [02:10]
Adam
Yeah.
- [02:10]
Pat
Was There a live audience or was it like. It was an audience with. Not like this stuff that we do for you?
- [02:15]
Rob Schneider
No, I mean, they had a real set. They didn't give me like a secondary. We're going to rob. Let's bring Rob up, but let's not bring. Bring him until. Not after we finish the new beautiful set. Let's bring him to the old place, stick him in there. I really appreciate Conan o' Brien saying that because it's true.
- [02:30]
Pat
Yeah, I'm going to get into it. I'm going to get to the minute. When we get into the story, I want to read all. I'm going to tee it up and then I'll see you up. Trust me. We'll get into. So let me just read all the stories. We got a lot of stuff going on with Iran. There was some stuff that happened yesterday. I think they're saying some reports public are 50 plus that have died. But people I'm hearing from Iran, on the streets, it's hundreds of people have died. Internet was cut off yesterday. Reza Pahlavi allegedly was supposed to. There was tweets about he's going to meet with Trump and then there wasn't, and then now he is complimentary of Trump. I got very direct feedback on that community. We'll respond to the Iranian thing. Venezuela with what's going on there. Bunch of different new things that are formulating. And then Trump says he's banning institutional investors from scooping up single family homes. Big deal. Good deal.
- [03:21]
Rob Schneider
Thank you.
- [03:22]
Pat
Marco Rubio making moves on Greenland as Trump extremely serious about buying island valued at $3.3 billion.
- [03:30]
Rob Schneider
Let me make an offer first.
- [03:31]
Pat
Yeah.
- [03:33]
Rob Schneider
You can't just take the first $3 billion.
- [03:35]
Pat
You got to take another one. Well, maybe you can make a public offer. Today. Trump and Colombian presidents speak by phone for the first time amid escalating tensions, which is good that they talked about. Denmark will shoot first and ask questions later if the US Invades Greenland. Think about the way you're talking from their dog sled. Yeah, they'll shoot first. Shoot what exactly? Rand Paul. I will do everything to stop any kind of military takeover of Greenland. So that's Rand Paul.
- [04:03]
Rob Schneider
Yeah.
- [04:04]
Pat
And then LA Mayor Bass brushes off Palisades fire protests, claims locals are profiting. Gavin Newsom confronts $18 billion budget disaster he helped create.
- [04:16]
Rob Schneider
What. What more can these LA people want? I mean, yes, 17,000 homes gone, but. Or 1700 homes, but they've built back four. And you have to look at the positives. Yeah, we're able to Cut through the red tape and in one year, two of the homes are back.
- [04:35]
Pat
Yeah. Exciting.
- [04:36]
Rob Schneider
It's unbelievable.
- [04:37]
Pat
We'll definitely get into that because I don't even think that's as big as problem. There's allegedly a $250 billion fraud that they're looking into. The billionaire more strategic move out. Make strategic moves out of California headed to proposed wealth tax. Larry Page. Yeah, just about $173 million to Miami. Homes right next to each other. They moved to Miami. They left California. Two bedroom to come. Yeah, it's a two bedroom, two bedroom, one bath. They moved out here with protests held in Minneapolis.
- [05:04]
Rob Schneider
Garage.
- [05:05]
Pat
Yeah.
- [05:05]
Rob Schneider
No garage. You got to have to. Have to share the garage.
- [05:09]
Pat
Yeah. After shot a woman shot. We'll talk about the shooting with ICE video. There's a lot of commentary there. Even make the mayor Jacob Fry tells ICE to get the F out of Minneapolis. You got to see this video. Another article came out saying is the American. Is this the end of American capitalism? Warner Brothers. Something funny is going on with Warner Brothers. I'm curious to know what you're going to say about this later on. Warner Brothers tells shareholders that Larry Ellison, who's worth roughly $300 billion, give or take his wealth, isn't enough to beat out Netflix's bid. Tom thinks something's going on behind closed doors that they want Netflix as the buyer, but not Larry Ellison. Nobody knows why. We'll talk about it. Of course. Iran will talk about Maduro is gone, but repression in Venezuela intensifies. China expected to replace Venezuelan oil with Iranian crude. And then we got a couple other updates here with stories to cover as well.
- [06:04]
Rob Schneider
It's like eight minutes right there.
- [06:06]
Pat
Yeah, that is eight minutes, but we're going to go two hours. I hope you're ready and your bladder can handle next two and a half hours.
- [06:10]
Rob Schneider
Oh, man.
- [06:11]
Pat
Vinnie, tell us what's happening with the stuff you've been doing. By the way, Rob, just so you know, Vinnie, his gear. Faith over fear. Tens of thousands of pieces sold out in a couple weeks. Tell us about faith over fear, Vinnie.
- [06:25]
Vinnie
Well, just letting everybody know. I appreciate everybody that's getting on board. I saw a guy at the airport that was wearing the faith over fear. I was at a diner and some guy pat me on the back and was like, hey, what? What is that all about? And you want to know what Hebrews 11, chapter one was? And we got into a really good conversation. And I know I always talk about faith over fear being like in. In the Bible with a centurion Soldier whose kid was healed, where Jesus just said, go because of your faith, it's going to be healed. And the woman that had the bleeding issue that pushed through the crowd, that just touched Jesus's edge of hem of his clothing and he was healed. So I want people to know that that's back in the biblical days. Faith over fear still applies today. It's, you know, it, it's what starting a business when the numbers scare you, speaking the truth, when silence feels safer. Fear waits for comfort and faith moves with conviction. You guys can go on there right now. I have another, we have a, a hat that's coming soon. I don't want to give it away, but you guys could go to. Is it FLB?
- [07:17]
Pat
VT merch.com.
- [07:19]
Vinnie
Vt merch, go to VT merch.com guys, we have hoodies, we have hats. Rocket and let people know where you stand.
- [07:26]
Pat
I love it. Go to vtmerch.com, place your order, buy it for yourself, your friends, your peers. Having said that, let's get right into it. I want to start off with you, Rob. Okay, so late night host Jimmy Kimmel, Fallon all push conspiracy theory that Trump captured Maduro to distract from Epstein files. Rob, if you got the clips, play it, we'll react to it. Go for it.
- [07:48]
Rob Schneider
If you were wondering how bad these Epstein files are for Trump, turns out they're invade Venezuela bad.
- [07:54]
Pat
This is literally the plot of the movie Wag the Dog.
- [07:58]
Rob Schneider
The president gets caught in a sex scandal, so he attacks a smaller country to distract us. And here we are distracted. On Saturday, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and.
- [08:08]
Pat
His wife were captured by Delta Force.
- [08:10]
Rob Schneider
At their home in Caracas and brought to New York.
- [08:13]
Pat
Trump watched the operation unfold in real time from the bunker in his basement at Mar a Lago.
- [08:19]
Rob Schneider
Can see there he is with Heg, Seth and Marco Rubio.
- [08:22]
Pat
This mission was called Operation Absolute Resolve.
- [08:26]
Rob Schneider
Which is a title that was definitely generated by chat gbt. I'll tell you the, my response to that is it's a really good warning to comedians and other hosts and other people do shows that if you go too far and down the, you know, conspiracy rabbit hole or if you just get too politicized and then all of a sudden you're not, you know, you're not in the funny business anymore. You're just in the, it's, it's, it's politics and it's, you know, it's really a propaganda through comedic imposition. They're imposing their views and it's just, it wasn't funny and it wasn't Particularly interesting. And it's also, it's just factually incoherent, because believe me, if there was anything in those files about Trump, the Democrats had it for years. They would have released it. But you think they would have, they would have hid that stuff to protect Trump? No, it would have been out billboards. So, I mean, look, obviously all that stuff should come out, but the presumption that there's stuff there, it's just how much more of this is like, it's like, it's, it's. People see that Russia was all. The only two people not involved in the Russia. Trump collusion was Russia and Trump. Everybody else seemed to be colluding. So I think the American people see through that. It's just like when you watch the news, depending if you're watching cnn, you know, you have to go, okay, what are. Okay, what if politics is war by other means? This is war. So it's a, it's, it's just a political warfare. So what are they not telling you? And so in this thing, it's just, you know, it's, it's, it's treating your audience like they're stupid or like they're just in your own political echo chamber. And it's like he listens. I mean, I think he's affected by the head writer who's his wife, who's a, Who's a liberal. That's.
- [10:23]
Pat
The head writer is his wife.
- [10:24]
Rob Schneider
Yeah. That's way out there. Jimmy Kimmel.
- [10:27]
Pat
No, I know, but the head writer for what? For the show.
- [10:29]
Rob Schneider
Jimmy Kimmel Show.
- [10:30]
Vinnie
The show is his wife. Did you see the podcast where she. He looked like he was a hostage by her over liberal white anger and bitterness.
- [10:37]
Rob Schneider
I think it's, I think, I think it's obviously. Look, Jimmy Kimmel's certainly capable of being funny. I mean, I remember doing.
- [10:44]
Pat
Really?
- [10:45]
Rob Schneider
Yes. No, I remember doing a. The show. He was the emcee while we did the Hugh Hefner roast eight days after nine, 11. And, you know, and he was funny. He can be funny. I just, I think when you get so emotionally vested in something, and I just think it's. I will tell you this right now, there's no way Disney's picking him up after his contract expires in April. They will let it expire, and that's it. Disney doesn't want this. Disney shareholders don't want politics. They just want it. They want entertainment. And why would you want to allow 50 automatically? You know, take. Okay, there's 80 million voters that we don't want to watching our show. It's crazy.
- [11:26]
Adam
I'm sorry, let me ask you a direct question. He was funny after 9, 11. So 24 years ago. When's the last time Jimmy Kimmel was actually funny?
- [11:34]
Rob Schneider
Well, I will tell you, you can't really come up with like, well, that was a really good zinger. I mean, like, you know, Jay Leno, you can remember, I mean, I remember his jokes, you know, when he was on his day, hey, you know, they remember when Starbucks is, you know, Starbucks is opening up another 600 Starbucks. And where can they open it up? The only place I can think of is inside of Starbucks. You know, he would have, Leno was the best, I mean he was really the best comedian of the, of his era. And you know, and he was, but.
- [12:02]
Pat
He was fair though. That's the thing about Leno.
- [12:03]
Rob Schneider
He'd call out all those guys, I mean Carson, Letterman, they, they, they let me finish. They, hey, they, he will do that often.
- [12:12]
Pat
And you, you, you're fine, keep going.
- [12:16]
Rob Schneider
No, but they, they, they, they obviously whoever's in power should, they should, they should go after. But with jokes. And I think, yeah, I mean it's traditionally Trump has been thin skinned about any jokes, but I also think those weren't jokes.
- [12:29]
Pat
Adam Kolla was here, he was very complimentary of Kimmel. Like he wouldn't say anything bad about Kimmel because he said Kimmel's the reason why he came up and all this other stuff. So he's.
- [12:39]
Rob Schneider
But I know that him and they did, they, they diverge. But we have to move. We all have to. We can have divergent views without demonizing each other. And the problem with what Jimmy Kimmel does and what I just saw is it's just a continual continuation of the demonization of half of America. And well, who's that get? Why was that getting us anywhere?
- [12:58]
Pat
Right?
- [12:59]
Rob Schneider
I just think it's, again, it's just politics for political gain. It's some sort of, you know, propaganda with comedic imposition. This is, and the idea that the audience is going to laugh. They're not laughing, they're applauding, you know, in the little political echo chamber. I'm telling you, he won't be there after eight months.
- [13:17]
Pat
Well, let me read this, let me read this. Is this Colbert? Let's hear Colbert. But I want to go to, I want to go to Conan right afterwards and I want to get his thoughts on Conan. So go ahead and play this one here.
- [13:29]
Rob Schneider
What this means. Those Epstein files must be crazy.
- [13:36]
Tom
I mean.
- [13:45]
Pat
Bomb something. Bomb anything. To me, he's not funny. To me, he's not funny at all.
- [13:52]
Tom
Absolutely laugh.
- [13:53]
Pat
I don't think I've ever laughed at anything.
- [13:57]
Rob Schneider
And this is true. Trump's New Year's resolution was let me.
- [14:00]
Pat
Read Conan's and I'm going to come to you. So Conan o' Brien says F Trump comics have been co opted by anger, just screaming comedian, late night show. Conan o' Brien criticizes comics who are more focused on screaming about Trump. Rob, was there a clip on this or was this. Okay, go for it, play this.
- [14:17]
Rob Schneider
Some comics go the route.
- [14:21]
Pat
Can we raise the audio a little bit, guys?
- [14:23]
Rob Schneider
I'm going to just say F Trump every, all the time or that's their comedy. And I think, well, now a little bit you're being co opted because you're so angry, you've been lulled. It's like a siren leading you into the rocks. You've been lulled into just saying F Trump. F Trump, F Trump. Screw this guy, you know, And I think you've now put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger. And that person or any person like that would say, well, things are too serious now. I don't need to be funny. And I think, well, if you're a comedian, you always need to be funny. You just have to find a way. Bingo. And you, you just have to find a way to channel that anger into a way that is because good art will always be a great weapon, will always be a perfect weapon against power.
- [15:17]
Pat
But if you're just screaming and you're.
- [15:19]
Rob Schneider
Just angry, you've lost your best tool in the toolbox.
- [15:26]
Pat
Rob, what do you say to that?
- [15:27]
Rob Schneider
Well, I think that's wonderful. And you know, Conan's very logical, rational and a good guy. And also when he was, did his show, his monologues were about getting laughs. It wasn't about some political indoctrination through comedic imposition. I keep coming back to that. So he's 100% right. We have to be there to entertain. I mean, when I go and you know, tonight when I got two shows, I'm there to entertain them. And if I don't make them laugh, I mean, yeah, oops, I gotta call my kid. She's on her way to school. The we are there to entertain. And so, yes, I think you can have a political opinion, but it's just like, you know, Jerry Seinfeld was saying the other day and we had a, I mean, I talked to him about that at the Saturday night live. Anniversary, 50th anniversary. Because he said, I don't believe that there's a woke thing and blah, blah, blah. And I said, there is woke. And he said, absolutely. And he said something like, is, there's no woke canceling stuff? And he corrected himself, I think, and he said to me, no, I'm saying that there is, but you can just use, you can find a way around it and still find a way to be funny, which is absolutely true. And he's one of the masters of all time. I mean, for, for, you know, his, his skill and acumen is, you know, he's absolutely brilliant. I mean, he literally is a genius of comedy. And, but he's right. You have to find a way to get to it. And so you have, it seems like, you know, Jimmy Kimmel's just in a war and before, you know, the, he's, his contract expires, he's just going to continue to try to burn down as much and just, and have a fire going. And I just said like, you know, Conan's right. Your biggest weapon is come up with something funny. And I think there's absolutely, you have to go after the people in power and Trump's in power and the Republicans are in power, but find a way to do it. I find a way to do it. That has a surprise to it. And certainly it's just illogical to think that somehow the Democrats would withhold, really, evidence that was showing Trump in a bad light. If, if they, if they had it, believe me, it would be everywhere.
- [17:39]
Vinnie
Rob, here's my thing. As a, as a, as a fellow comedian, that's just hack. That's just the joke that everybody. And by the way, it's been going on for almost 10 years. It's a hack. He's a hack. The other guy's a hack. My question to you is over. This is a studio decision. I know his wife is doing the writing and he's in there and they're patting each other on the back and they're, and they're loving each other and, but from a business standpoint, we saw the numbers a couple of weeks ago. They are, they've been hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars. Nobody's watching. They haven't changed any course. He keeps spitting the same rhetoric. So my question is, is it the donors that are behind the Democratic Party that just want to just, it's just anti war.
- [18:19]
Rob Schneider
Disney, as of this point, does not want the political backlash and will continue the bleeding until the contract's up in April and Then there is no reason financially or a business decision will be to not to not bring him back. And that's just, I mean, I'm not saying personally, it doesn't have anything to do with me. I'm just saying if they make a decision to keep him and to make redo his contract or give him a contract extension to Jimmy Kimmel, that's going to be a purely political decision based on not wanting any crap from, you know, the violent, or should say the virulent and loud liberal intelligentsia. But that same liberal intelligentsia isn't watching the show anymore because even they go like, it's not funny. What am I getting out of it? They watched it for like the first week or the first couple, first show when he came back. But if they do make that decision, it's not a business decision. They'll be telling their stockholders, we're not making business decisions. And I just think, you know, it's a business. You have to make a decision and you have to make a decision based on what is going to benefit your stockholders. If you, if you're in a money. A business to make money. It's just like if they had a boat. If Disney, Disney has seven cruise lines. They got the seventh one that they were, that they released last year. If that wasn't making money, then you take the boat off and you don't do that anymore. So this boat, the Jimmy Kimmel late night show is not making money. And they got to bring it back to DOC and figure out how to make money in that spot. That's it. It's a business decision. It's nothing personal. I mean, if I think it's just those shows are gonna go away anyway. I just think that that's a form that people. I mean, most.
- [20:04]
Pat
You're saying it's gonna go away. Like the late night shows.
- [20:06]
Rob Schneider
Late night shows are gonna all be gone. They're not gonna happen.
- [20:09]
Pat
What's, what's gonna replace it? Is it gonna be like podcasters and YouTubers, like Kill Tony?
- [20:13]
Rob Schneider
Yes. You're gonna have people that are watching specific shows for them. I mean, Kill Tony is way bigger than all those shows.
- [20:19]
Pat
That's right.
- [20:19]
Rob Schneider
To, you know, exponentially to the 10th power. Bigger than them. They have 10 million people will watch each episode and. But Tony's there to get laughs. And he's also, I mean, I would say he's more Johnny Carson than any of these late night hosts. And he's a great man. I got to tell you, I've never had anybody in this business, kinder to me than Tony Hinchcliffe. Out of the blue, didn't know me, never, never really met me. He invited me on his show and thank you, Tony, for having, you know, the balls to have me. Because I don't get invited to the late night shows, but it's like, I'm a comedian, I'm there to get laughs, but I'm not going to give in to the, you know, I want to go the other way and I have gone the other way because it's more interesting. You want to be, you want to go against the tide. But then I had against the tide. You know, being conservative, you know, in 2020 was not easy. I had as much as 30 people would get up and walk out for a joke about COVID at that time or about Biden or something. People would just. And so I had to literally, I talked to John Cleese, who's also, you know, who's a extremely a legend, but also crazy over the top anti Trump liberal. But he's a great man. I don't give a crap of what his politics are. But he said, rob, I think you should give a warning before your shows. And he would now just say no. For those of you who are feeling extremely, you know, exceptionally sensitive, those are trapped in their own political echo chamber. Those who, whose, when they hear ideas separate than their own, may cause their emotional collapse. This and that may not be the show for you. And so I did a version of that and I did it for like two years just before. It was just a warning, you know, before, because it's like, hey, this is a comedy show. You're gonna hear jokes and they're not gonna be what you. You need to challenge your audience, otherwise you're a bore. So you gotta challenge and you gotta challenge both sides. So I think that's, that's what's gonna make it, make it interesting.
- [22:15]
Pat
And Rob, how's your relationship with Adam Sandler right now? So I think there was something, I read that it was, you know, he goes out of his way to always include.
- [22:24]
Rob Schneider
That was an AI thing.
- [22:25]
Pat
So that's not a real thing.
- [22:26]
Rob Schneider
It's all AI. It's so funny because even people like yourself were pretty savvy, really savvy, that it's still like you believe it because, you know, there's just, there's these bot farms. That's why it's very important that Elon Musk and Zuckerberg hopefully will put, this is made in India by AI, you know, so. Well, then that Just community knows. But it should say we're the country of origin because, you know, India has, like, literally like an AI machine to just throw stuff out there. Threatens if they get enough YouTube views, they get money on that. So it's like, whether it's China or whether it's Pakistan or whether it's India, it's all fake shit. But no, Adam supports me. He's my buddy. He's my friend, you know, and. But at the same time, I think it's. It's a. It's a good business decision to stay out of it. Say, why would you want to? It's like, you know, Michael Jordan is good to you.
- [23:18]
Pat
So you and Adam are good.
- [23:19]
Rob Schneider
Oh, yeah. Well, Michael Jordan.
- [23:21]
Pat
So that AI was right, that you guys are good.
- [23:23]
Rob Schneider
Oh, no. Yeah, we are. But, like, Michael Jordan is like, right. You know, Republicans buy shoes, too. And it's true. It's like, I think, why would you want to limit your audience? However, I think it's. For me, it was important during the last few years to. There's something more important than your comedy career or your, you know, getting movies was that this culture was under attack. And I believe, you know, being friends with Charlie Kirk was quite an education. And just, you know, it was indisputable that our culture and Western civilization is under attack. And I would just ask your viewers and listeners to get the book, Douglas Murray's book, War on the West. There's a real attack on Western civilization. And the idea that the United States is just going to continue without our assistance, this incredible experiment in freedom is an illusion. We need to step up. And it may cost you some money, but when I think about, like, well, I'm not going to probably, you know, studios don't want to hire me now because I've been so conservative. I, I would say, like the Bill Maher said, hey, I've been a liberal. They moved. I didn't move. And then you realize there's an attack on the culture. It's time to step up and, and protect it. And, And. And I really feel like it really was. I mean, when they're. When the Biden administration, day one, day one, first thing they did was to contact the White House, to contact the social media outlets, Zuckerberg and Facebook and Twitter and demand that Robert Kennedy be censored. I mean, that's a fact. And that just goes to show the politicization of our body politic now was not one Democrat stood up and said, hey, that's wrong. The only guy kind of that would step up and go against his party is Fetterman and he has a brain injury. So God bless you. That part of his brain that died should happen to the rest of the Democratic Party. True, but I know, but I mean that I think you have to, you have to step up. And our culture was under attack for sure. And I feel like, you know, the idea that they're saving democracy, Democrats weren't saving democracy, they just got rid of Biden. Cuz his brain didn't work. And everybody knew, and everybody in the media knew that his brain, he was basically, you know, a corpse attached to a car battery for four years. And to just get rid of him and just without the vote, just put Kamala in. And as I said, you know, replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris is like changing your shirt because you shit your pants, you know, so it's pretty obvious.

Adam
I'll just say this. Adam Sandler's a living legend. Respect to him. Number two, the War in the West. Douglas Murray is one of the best books I've ever, I've ever read because it's so true. But to this point about what late night comics are doing with this F. Trump whole phenomenon, what I would say is it goes deeper than that because that's pretty much what's going on with half this country. It's not just left to comics. The problem that we have right now is that everyone's so firmly entrenched in their sides and they feel like they need to defend their team. I got this great question on my neck by this kid Dylan. He's a young Republican in Iowa. He goes, adam, I've seen your evolution. Cuz I used to not be a fan of Trump whatsoever. I was had whatever Trump syndrome, Trump tds. I had that four years ago, five.
- [26:42]
Rob Schneider
Years ago, Trump told me to my face that he hated me. Well, my face, I just laughed, you know, but I love the guy.
- [26:49]
Adam
But he, I now I have an amazing appreciation, but he asked me this question a minute. He goes, I've seen your evolution. Why don't you just come out and say that you're a full on Republican now and register as a Republican in Florida. I go, I've always been an Independent. And I just thought like a Democrat. Now I think like a Republican. And the reason that I want to stay an independent is because I want to be able to be fair and balanced.
- [27:12]
Rob Schneider
Yeah, but Adam, don't you know, everyone.
- [27:14]
Adam
Let me interrupt here is so in their echo chamber.
- [27:16]
Rob Schneider
Let me interrupt you like you interrupted me. Adam, let me tell you something.
- [27:18]
Adam
Let me interrupt you.
- [27:20]
Rob Schneider
No, Adam, here's the problem with that. What Adam just said is rational and completely a pro American approach. I'm going to be an independent and vote for what makes sense. But don't you understand just saying you're an independent, the Democrats are going to throw you under the right wing bus and run over you, you know, zero.
- [27:39]
Adam
Fear of that because.
- [27:39]
Rob Schneider
No, no, no, but I'm telling you that, that. So they're not playing fair. So just because you're saying you're an independent, if you're not 100% behind all their radical crazy, then you're going to be thrown into that, oh, he's a right winger. Just like they say, they're the f. That's the thing. So, but, but I'm saying so. But. So you have to, that's, that's the area that we're in. So, you know, whether you consider yourself a conservative or not, they're going to call you a right winger.
- [28:06]
Adam
Who cares?
- [28:06]
Rob Schneider
Yeah, exactly. But who cares? But I'm saying that that's, that's what we're dealing with. That's, that's how the, that's the interpretation. So, you know, the interpretation is, is the, is the reality that people carry with them and as they make their own reality, unfortunately, it's not accurate. So we have to, you know, that that's something that needs to be tackled and gone back to, you know, to calming down, you know, where is the sympathy when Charlie Kirk got murdered, when you had people celebrating, dancing on his grave, you know, so you have. Anybody outside your tribe doesn't get any sympathy or empathy, but people in your tribe get an overarching ridiculous amount of empathy. And it was a terrible tragedy that, that I wish that ICE officer would not have shot. I really do.
- [28:49]
Pat
You know, let's get into that story. Let's get into that story, Rob, if you want to pull it up. So story comes out, protests held in Minneapolis after woman shot dead by U.S. immigration agent. Rob, I think you probably have a few different clips. Is that the protesting going on right now in Minneapolis yesterday or two days ago? So this, this story, when it first came out, you know, J.D. vance said it best. I think there's a clip on it because is there any clips that we have of the cars? Well, of course we're not gonna maybe show the main clips, but do you have any clips, Rob, to show what happened? Is this the one? Okay, so this is the clip that we all saw. Actually, no, this isn't the clip that we saw the Clip we saw was the other one showing the fact that the ICE agent was, you know, you know, defending himself and shooting. And then this clip gets shown. Go ahead, Rob. From a different angle.
- [29:45]
Vinnie
Yeah, that's real time.
- [29:45]
Pat
Boom.
- [29:46]
Vinnie
What are you doing?
- [29:50]
Pat
So she drives over the Ice Age.
- [29:52]
Vinnie
She's trying. Oh, she's trying to.
- [29:53]
Pat
Okay.
- [29:54]
Rob Schneider
She drives over to say she was in a crazed. She was not in the right frame of mind. Number one, I would say anybody who.
- [30:06]
Pat
Rob, let me go to Vinnie Force. I'll come to you.
- [30:08]
Vinnie
Go ahead, Robin. I get where you're coming from. I just want. I want everybody to know, first and foremost, okay? If she hadn't been committing a crime, she'd be alive. She would still be alive. Interfering with federal law enforcement and obstructing a federal officer is a crime under law. And let me tell you where it is. Under 18 USC 111, it's a federal crime to forcefully assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with any federal officer while they're performing official duties. That's number one.
- [30:37]
Rob Schneider
It doesn't take away from the tragedy. What I want to dig into. You're 100% right. 100%. But however, you got to know that in any tragedy, there's a confluence of. Of things that combine to set the stage for this tragedy. I mean, the fact that there's been this over overwhelming rhetoric against, you know, federal officers in this nation, this hateful rhetoric, the demonizing, the calling them Nazis and fascists, and creates this situation where people who are vulnerable will put themselves in harm's way, which is what happened. And it's very similar to, like, the social contagion, which is thankfully shrinking now, of transgenderism, where these kids who are vulnerable and the high percentage of them, upwards of 80% of these kids who identify as trans are vulnerable kids who are on the spectrum of autism. So you have a social contagion there. You had the social contagion of fear during COVID So you just have these people that are being manipulated through emotion to not make decisions that are in the best interest of themselves and put themselves in harm's way. So while I say I agree with you 100%, it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a tragedy and doesn't take away from the fact that that was a preventable tragedy. And I mean that. I mean, yes, he was hit, and yes, he's not going to be convicted, obviously, but this is an officer that already got into a situation where he got injured by a car and had stitches in his legs and stuff from.
- [32:11]
Vinnie
300Ft by an illegal that they were trying to arrest for gu.
- [32:14]
Pat
What?
- [32:14]
Vinnie
Assaulting a nine year old minor. Like sexually assaulting. So that's why this guy has is. By the way, obviously I'm not saying it's going to make him a little on edge, but first, like if you.
- [32:26]
Rob Schneider
Think about it, Rob, I think that guy should not be in the field after that. I just do.
- [32:30]
Vinnie
But I mean think about. He, he loves his job so much.
- [32:31]
Rob Schneider
That even he loves his job so much. But I think at a certain point you have to make decisions that are. That the, that the individuals don't get to make.
- [32:39]
Vinnie
Let me ask you a question. Where's the accountability? I'm going to pick one guy, Tim Walsh, calling them ICE Gestapo.
- [32:47]
Rob Schneider
I'm saying that that's insane.
- [32:48]
Vinnie
Yeah. What I'm saying is, but this girl.
- [32:50]
Rob Schneider
That is, that is a body, that is a political warfare.
- [32:53]
Vinnie
No, no, but there's no accountability for him, for them. How many times have they been calling these people.
- [32:57]
Pat
Do you have the J.D. vance clip?
- [32:58]
Rob Schneider
Well, absolutely, that's. I mean I'm not clearly.
- [33:02]
Pat
And then Rob, respond to this. Go ahead, go ahead, Rob.
- [33:05]
Rob Schneider
Actually, actually.
- [33:06]
Pat
No, no, the other Rob. Rob, go ahead, Rob. You go.
- [33:10]
Rob Schneider
No, I'm saying you have to acknowledge the tragedy. We also, we have to be. When there are citizens that are not in a right frame of mind, we have to just like in Los Angeles. I mean this is crazy but like literally they let people at Home Depot, they'll just people who stealing stuff, they let them go.
- [33:31]
Pat
Why?
- [33:31]
Rob Schneider
Because they don't want to deal with the insurance hassle. If the person pretends to fall down and hurt themselves, they just don't want to do it. That's how screwed up our legal system is and the scummy attorneys that would represent them. So I think when you know that there's something like this, they have to calm, their heads have to prevail. And I just, it's just, it's, it is.
- [33:50]
Pat
So you're saying he shouldn't have shot.
- [33:52]
Rob Schneider
I'm saying he obviously defended himself. I'm saying he should not have, in my opinion. I'm not a police officer. I've never been in the armed services. I'm saying that was a preventable that. I wish that in situations like this, just like in Los Angeles or just like when there's car speed chases, you got to let them go. Don't get in front of the car. And I think that's, that's dangerous. Everybody involved yes, let. If there's somebody speeding, you know, you could. It's. It's more dangerous in a speed chase to interfere.
- [34:25]
Pat
And then, then that wasn't a, that was a parked car she did on.
- [34:29]
Vinnie
Purpose, which she came and set up with her wife.
- [34:31]
Rob Schneider
Her wife.
- [34:32]
Vinnie
Her wife or whatever, got out of the car and she said, but, Rob, because I was. Hold on. I was, I was a, a security forces member in the United States Air Force when it comes to that type of thing, you're doing a convoy and somebody's blocking you off. The, the, the fear of an ambush, meaning people coming from the side and shooting. You can't be a stationary target. So what she's doing. And mind you, I want to say one thing. This girl, Renee Good, she was a ICE Watch warrior. She was trained to do exactly what she was doing, to resist, to get in their way, to blow whistles and do all that stupid stuff that she's doing. I understand 100% it's avoidable, but can I show, can I show one, one thing really quick, Pat, Rob, show the video of this police officer. By the way, this is a Army, a military veteran from Baltimore. This older video of Amy Caprio, who was run over. And by the way, this is, this was on the newspaper. So they're going to show it. Look at how fast this situation, she's to the side goes from, hey, get out of the car to she is dead. And her audio was live of her dying on, on this call. So look how fast this happens. Go ahead, Rob. This person's in the car. They get in the car, check this out. Done. She's dead.
- [35:40]
Pat
She's dead.
- [35:41]
Vinnie
So in this situation, again, the blame goes to the Democratic Party, who has been pushing this rhetoric for years. Nazi, Gestapo and everything. And then, and Rob, to be honest with you, this is what they wanted. This is what Tim Waltz. This is what Ilhan Omar. This is what Gavin Newsom, when they say, get in the street, get in their face, resist, take off your mask. What do you have to.
- [36:03]
Rob Schneider
This is a. I'm agreeing with you. I'm agreeing with all body.
- [36:08]
Tom
They want their name. Now they have it.
- [36:10]
Rob Schneider
Yeah, they, they wanted somebody to, to. They wanted a martyr that they could, you know, use for, for. Because they don't care about people. None of those, none of those, none of those politicians should have let her go.
- [36:20]
Vinnie
Because by the way, what I'm saying.
- [36:22]
Rob Schneider
No, no, no, no. I'm saying, look, I'm saying in what they did by that officer firing and getting in front of the car, gave them what they wanted. They gave them the, they gave them the shift of the narrative to the unbelievable graft and corruption and fraud by the Democratic Party to the tune of $900 billion. Potentially, as Elon Musk said, it could be anywhere from 300 to 900 billion. Literally. It could. If, if you take away the, the corruption and the fraud from the Democratic Party, it could lower our taxes. Literally anyone under $500,000, making that anyone 500,000 or less would pay zero taxes. That's the kind of corruption that Elon Musk thinks we have those numbers. All I'm saying is simply this. I agree with you 100%. And the fact that there is nobody, that the same people have certain zero empathy for an officer who was killed in the line of duty exposes them for their hypocrisy and that this is just all politics.
- [37:25]
Pat
Let's do this. Let's listen to what JD has to say. Let's see. Because I've been trying to play this JD Club. Gary, go ahead and play the.
- [37:31]
Rob Schneider
I agree with JD I was actually walking out here. Somebody sent me a photo of a CNN headline about what happened in Minneapolis.
- [37:41]
Vinnie
And this is the headline. I'm just going to read it.
- [37:43]
Rob Schneider
Outrage after ICE Officer Kills US Citizen in Minneapolis.
- [37:48]
Vinnie
Well, that's one way to put it.
- [37:50]
Rob Schneider
And that is the way that many.
- [37:52]
Vinnie
People in the corporate media have put.
- [37:54]
Rob Schneider
This attack over the last 24 hours. And I say attack very, very intentionally.
- [37:59]
Vinnie
Because this was an attack on federal law enforcement.
- [38:01]
Rob Schneider
This was an attack on law and order.
- [38:03]
Vinnie
This was an attack on the American people. The way that the media by and.
- [38:08]
Rob Schneider
Large has reported this story has been.
- [38:10]
Vinnie
An absolute disgrace and it puts our.
- [38:13]
Rob Schneider
Law enforcement officers at risk every single day.
- [38:16]
Vinnie
What that headline leaves out is the.
- [38:18]
Rob Schneider
Fact that that very ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his leg.
- [38:27]
Vinnie
So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile? What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the.
- [38:38]
Rob Schneider
United States of America.
- [38:39]
Vinnie
What that headline leaves out is that that woman has. Is part of a broader left wing network to attack, to dox, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job.
- [38:50]
Rob Schneider
Thousand percent right.
- [38:51]
Vinnie
Media wants to, to tell the truth. They ought to tell the truth. That a group of left wing radicals have been working tirelessly, sometimes using domestic terror techniques to try to make it.
- [39:01]
Rob Schneider
Impossible for the President of the United.
- [39:03]
Vinnie
States to do what the American people elected him to do, which is enforce our immigration laws.
- [39:08]
Rob Schneider
The President stands with ICE,000% agreed with everything he had to say. And it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a tragedy. And he also said it. I think he also said it's a tragedy. We have to know that a human life here was manipulated and is lost. And what I'm saying is absolutely, the officer was defending himself, but I wish he didn't fire. And I also think that we have to and we have to do everything we can in a situation to not put yourself in harm's way. What she did was putting herself in harm's way. And I'm not an officer. This is just. My opinion is that you cannot give fuel.
- [39:48]
Pat
Tom, what are you thinking with this? You're a reasonable guy.
- [39:51]
Tom
What I think is, Rob, maybe that's. That's true, but let's back up a second. Who was in harm's way? The officer first was in harm's way and then she didn't put herself in harm's way. She suffered the consequence of interfering with a live law enforcement engagement. That's what happened. And J.D. vance is right. They want. The mainstream media is still run by liberals that hate Trump. And as Conan o' Brien said, it's F. Trump. F Trump. So guess what? Now they have their body. Now they have their George Floyd T.
- [40:32]
Rob Schneider
Shirt, and now they have. All I'm saying is George, I think that was no matter what.
- [40:35]
Tom
They've got their George Floyd mural now, and now it's a woman. Fantastic. Now they got a little equal opportunity in their martyr. Martyr cast.
- [40:45]
Rob Schneider
I'm saying that you deal with people.
- [40:47]
Tom
That are manipulating, and I think we need to support it.
- [40:49]
Rob Schneider
Yeah.
- [40:49]
Tom
I mean, sheriff in Florida came out yesterday, Pat, in the afternoon and said, let me just say something, folks. If you're going to interfere with law enforcement in Florida, this is exactly what you're going to have here. Because we are going to ensure that our law enforcement feel safe on the job and supported. There he is. So that they stay on the job and they don't quit or retire early.
- [41:12]
Adam
Absolutely.
- [41:12]
Tom
Because we need law enforcement to protect you, the public.
- [41:15]
Rob Schneider
We need it. And the degradation and the demonization from the left. Attacking ICE officers verbally and physically is beyond disgraceful. And it's created this dangerous situation. But I'm saying, since we know that it's a dangerous situation, I guarantee that the ICE officers have to adjust accordingly. Because you're not. And I agree with you. I'm not disagreeing. I'm saying that. That you have people here or like this woman who's clearly not in a frame of mind. You got to know that they are. The officer didn't know that. He doesn't know who this person. He doesn't know if there's a person armed. He doesn't know if there's a person. If there's. There's other people that could be in the vehicle that are armed. He does not have that information. All he knows is there's somebody now impeding his job. However, all that in mind, I guarantee you the ICE officers, they have to, you know, they also part of that training has to be they're not dealing with rational, normal people, which has to at the same time heighten their awareness and already extremely difficult job where you have.
- [42:21]
Pat
I really don't know what you're saying, Rob.
- [42:22]
Rob Schneider
Respect, demonization.
- [42:24]
Pat
I have no clue what you're saying.
- [42:25]
Rob Schneider
Listen to officers. They have to be like, get out.
- [42:29]
Pat
Crazy and let the guy go and have to stop the person again at another place and then let him go again and then stop him at another place. Let's play that logically. This makes zero sense to me. So feel free to push back because you're a reasonable guy. I can't comprehend your reasoning.
- [42:47]
Rob Schneider
Don't be in front of the car because they can go forward. Don't be in back of the car because the backup.
- [42:51]
Pat
Don't drive over a cop.
- [42:52]
Rob Schneider
Absolutely.
- [42:53]
Pat
So that's breaking the law. It's like saying, hey, you know when these guys are coming around, coming. Crossing a border illegally, guys, let's not hurt them. Let's not like, let's just tell them, please go back and do that. I mean it just.
- [43:06]
Rob Schneider
But if it's a truck that's coming over the border. Border. Get out of the way.
- [43:10]
Pat
If it's a truck coming over the border, wait. And then I'm blowing up the truck. Yeah, well, I'm being serious with you. If a truck is coming, if I'm a job of being able to stand.
- [43:20]
Rob Schneider
In front of it.
- [43:20]
Adam
Yeah, blow it up.
- [43:21]
Tom
And that's exactly what you agree with you.
- [43:23]
Rob Schneider
I agree. If there's a truck coming across the border. Yeah, absolutely. You got a fire, you got to protect your country.
- [43:28]
Pat
I'm trying. I'm trying to read. So, Adam Warrior. Yeah.
- [43:30]
Adam
Let me just give a different perspective. And I. Look, I'm not.
- [43:33]
Rob Schneider
I'm not disrespectful, disagreeing with anything you guys are saying, but J.D. vance, I'm saying now you have to know you're dealing with mental people, you have to know you're dealing with people that are not in right frame of mind. You have to know that going in. And you have to, yes, officers have to protect themselves. That comes first. But at the same time, I just think, I guarantee you the ICE officers.
- [43:52]
Pat
Well, let me do this. Let me go to Jacob Fry and then I'm gonna come to you guys. Rob, play a clip from Jacob Fry. Here's what he had to say. The mayor of Minneapolis. Go ahead.
- [44:02]
Rob Schneider
This guy's a piece of shit.
- [44:02]
Tom
Oh friggin Nobel Prize.
- [44:04]
Adam
There's little I can say again that'll.
- [44:06]
Pat
Make this situation better.
- [44:08]
Rob Schneider
But I do have a message for.
- [44:10]
Pat
Our community, for a city.
- [44:13]
Rob Schneider
And I have a message for ICE to ice. Get the out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here. Your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety and you are doing extreme exactly the opposite.
- [44:31]
Vinnie
Why do growing businesses love working in Slack? Let's ask Christy.
- [44:35]
Pat
Ari bikes running things in Slack.
- [44:37]
Rob Schneider
Saves me so much time.
- [44:38]
Vinnie
AI summaries save 97 minutes per week. What say you, Rocks from Gosney?
- [44:43]
Rob Schneider
Slack helps us build community. It helps us build connection.
- [44:46]
Vinnie
Your partners, vendors and customers all in one place. Take us on home.
- [44:50]
Pat
Ashley from Carraway. If we didn't have Slack tomorrow, I would explode.
- [44:54]
Vinnie
Well, let's not let that happen. Visit slack.com podcast to get 50% off Slack business plus.
- [45:03]
Rob Schneider
Well, that guy is a lunatic. And we have lunatics who are running our cities. That exposes so many things. They would rather have their city fall apart. They would rather have it overrun by people who are not citizens. They don't care about the safety of their particular citizens. It's all a political show. And that guy is a disgrace. And I think you see that. I mean you.
- [45:27]
Pat
Adam, your thoughts?
- [45:28]
Adam
Sure. So I'll give you a different perspective. Is anybody surprised that this is occurring in Minneapolis, Minnesota at this point?
- [45:37]
Rob Schneider
Yeah.
- [45:38]
Adam
To me, this is just an ultimate failure of leadership. Whether it's this Mayor Jacob Frey or Tim Walls, every major incident that we've seen in this country for the most part in the last five years has occurred in one city. Minneapolis, Minnesota. This ICE thing is just the latest thing. Whether it's George Floyd, whether it's the Somalian fraud case, whether it's the BLM protest, whether it's the Catholic school shooting just a few months ago, how much fraud needs to take place in the sanctuary city for this gentleman to take a look in the mirror and say maybe it's my weird woke weak policies that have caused this. And then ultimately, what's the reward for all this chaos in Minnesota? Let's take a look. Tampon Tim Walls and make him almost the second most powerful person in this country. To me, Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota is the tipping point for chaos in this country.
- [46:31]
Rob Schneider
Let me say Minnesota. I remember when I was a kid in Minneapolis when I was a young comedian and I remember going to. I remember to get. It was another, with another comedian. We're driving to a gig and we stopped at a gas station and they took a check from the other commission. They take a check. How gullible are these people? You have the nicest people. I just ran into a bunch of them from Minnesota. Nice, really, really good people. I ran them to the airport and believe me, they don't want this. They don't want to be run over by people coming in from other countries. They don't want them to be the ones choosing their elected leaders. They don't want crime in there and they prefer ICE to come in and take out illegals. And that's ISIS job. But you're dealing with a group of people and they're being manipulated by people who are not good faith actors. These are not people. This guy, this Mayor Fry, he is a bad faith actor. He doesn't have what's best in mind. He's not trying to calm down the situation. He's using political, he's using this as a time to drum things up, to make things more difficult. Because it's just a political warfare. That's what we're dealing with.
- [47:38]
Vinnie
But here's my thing, Rob. Where is the accountability going to go to? Because if you as a leader are, if I tell you guys right now, hey, Rob, go to that house and break into it right now. Break the law, you know who's going to get in trouble?
- [47:49]
Rob Schneider
Me.
- [47:50]
Vinnie
I sent you my favorite shows. The first 48. If people tell you to go somewhere like, like Charles Manson, he got in trouble. He didn't kill anybody. He told people to go kill. So when's the accountability going to come to these morons? Because at the end of the day, let's go to the beginning. Number one, you broke the law. The same. Ready for this? George Floyd, who was a scumbag drug addict who held a gun to a pregnant girl's stomach while his friends robbed the house. If he wasn't a dirtbag, law breaking drug addict who was trying to pass a $20 bill at a gas station, he never meets Derek Chauvin, period. Their paths never cross and the mental state that you're talking about about this. This girl. She wasn't out of her mind. This is the communist directive from 1943. Rob, can you play it? They. They've. They've brainwashed these people. They're not out of their mind.
- [48:36]
Rob Schneider
Well that was purposefully robbed.
- [48:37]
Vinnie
It's purposeful. So my point is.
- [48:39]
Rob Schneider
I'm saying the same thing that brainwashed.
- [48:41]
Vinnie
Let me finish my point though. Accountability for the person telling you to go and break the law. If. If he's. Tim Walls is saying go and do this. Get in front of their faces. They're the Gestapo. It has to fall on you. And isn't it. Adam made a great point. It's ironic the biggest fraud in the history of the country is happening there any distraction. These people want not for you to look. But this is my point. I want. This is from what. How old Rob, this 1943 communist directive. Listen to how the Democratic party. Because at the end of the day Rob, this all I used to call the whole party. Not the whole party. Please let me finish my point. These people have lost the plot. They have. They have no God. Name me one Democrat. And I'm not saying be as proud as I am or as pat or as. As Tom with our faith. Where. Where are the people that believe in God? We're the God fearing Christian people that have any backbone. Anything. They lost it, Rob. It's all lgbtq. Open the border fraud. Name me one thing that this party stands for. It's enough playing pussyfooting Iran and going no there there. There's some good ones there aren't. Please play this. Rob of wow. This is the. The mentality of what they do to your brains. If you're watching this and you're a Democrat, go ahead.
- [49:52]
Tom
1943. 82 years ago.
- [49:54]
Rob Schneider
The following.
- [49:54]
Tom
Where it started.
- [49:56]
Rob Schneider
In 1943, the following directive was issued from party headquarters to all communists in the United States. It read, when certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable buildups as fascist or Nazi or anti Semitic and use the prestige of anti fascist intolerance organizations to discredit him in the public mind. Constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell. The association will after enough repetition become fact in the public mind. Boom. Yeah.
- [50:35]
Vinnie
Let me say get held accountable for her life. The blood is on his hands. You can't tell people, go fight. Go be illegal. Go break the law. And then she dies and nobody says anything to him.
- [50:46]
Tom
Well you have.
- [50:46]
Rob Schneider
That's an incitement. Any incitement to Violence is prosecutable. I mean, it's. He could be prosecuted for an incitement for violence. But you have. It's just become normalized in the Democratic Party. You can just go like Democrats being violent and look it up on YouTube. And it's just all of them just saying, get in the streets, get in their face. Don't let them eat at a restaurant. Don't give them no peace. So you have it. It's just, you know, it is. It's evil and it's awful and it's something. But how do you fight it back? I mean, you have to. First of all, we're. We're in such a bad shape. We're such. I mean, as far as the prosecutions are, we're in bad shape. When I go to my local Walmart in Arizona and there's a lot of things that are behind glass, and they told me they had 1.2. This one particular store in Scottsdale, Arizona, $1.2 million of theft in 2024. I said, that's ridiculous, and said, what's down from three point. No, from 2.5 million in 2023. So eventually they said, we're gonna put everything behind glass. So at what point do you. When you do not have the police arrest and have prosecutors and this is Arizona, pretty purple state conservative legislator, not governor or senators, unfortunately, but you have. So we have to make a shift. We. This cannot continue. This is not the, you know, the good times of the 70s, 80s and 90s. I didn't realize that, like, the whole culture would be under attack like this. Yes, if you are an incitement to violence, you need to be prosecuted. But you have an entire Democratic party that is feeding off of that, and they're raising money off it. And what it's doing is it's creating brainwash. And I know what you, You. You have a problem with me saying mental problems. This brainwash and mental problems, they get.
- [52:47]
Adam
Wh.
- [52:48]
Rob Schneider
They get whipped up into this. Let's just go to another term. They're being emotionally driven to do things that are dangerous, and that's exactly what's happening. So.
- [52:59]
Vinnie
But.
- [53:00]
Rob Schneider
But at the end of the day, like the police officers and ICE officers specifically, they got to look out for their own safety. Absolutely. And all I said and all I mean was like, there. There has to be a protocol, and there is protocol. You got to protect yourself. But also just, you know, it's. It's a damaged person, and I just wish it wouldn't have happened.
- [53:20]
Pat
Okay.
- [53:21]
Rob Schneider
I don't know all the facts on the ground.
- [53:22]
Pat
Let's go to the next story. Let's go to the next story. Next story. Marco Rubio making moves on Greenland as Trump extremely serious about buying island valued at $3.3 billion, sources say, Rob? I think at a $3.3 billion, $3.3.
- [53:34]
Rob Schneider
Billion, that's a lot of money for ICE.
- [53:38]
Pat
That's actually not a lot of money if you think about it. Right. So not for the resources that they have. Remember, we bought Alaska for 7.2 million and they called it the dumbest deal of all time until later on America found golden oil. And then they said, oh, my God, what a great deal. So, Rob, if you got this, go ahead and play it. Go for it.
- [53:55]
Rob Schneider
Mr. Secretary, on Denmark, why is the administration not taking Denmark? Offer to discuss the situation in Greenland.
- [54:02]
Adam
And oh, I'll be meeting with him next week.
- [54:04]
Rob Schneider
But will you take military intervention off the table?
- [54:06]
Tom
I'm not here to talk about Denmark or military intervention. I'll be meeting with them next week.
- [54:10]
Adam
We'll have those conversations with them then.
- [54:12]
Tom
And, but I'm not anything further to add to that?
- [54:16]
Rob Schneider
Well, I think it's a simple, I think it's a treaty that we can have.
- [54:21]
Pat
Let me go to Tom first and then I'll come to you. Go ahead, Tom.
- [54:23]
Tom
I think what people are missing here is we have an aggressive Russia that's in the middle of a war and their and this is the part this isn't too far below the surface, no pun intended, but their major submarine base and their naval is on the north side. Greenland becomes a strategic listening post. And NATO has been quietly talking about Greenland as a strategic place to, you know, observe Russia and to have military installation there as part of Northern Atlantic, Remember NATO, North Atlantic. This is the area. And so Greenland has been a topic for a while. The Brits and the Germans have been all talking about who's going to foot the bill when Greenland comes up. There's big bills in NATO. And guess what Trump has been doing? He's been forcing Europe, you know, Pat, he forced Europe to pay their fair share of those NATO bills.
- [55:19]
Pat
He did. Everybody increase slowly.
- [55:20]
Tom
Yes, that's exactly. And so what's going on in Greenland? The US Strategically below the surface, wants to turn Greenland into Puerto Rico. It'll have its own independence in this, but it's going to be like Guam, American Samoa and Puerto Rico. That's what's going to be there. And then it's going to get military installations there. And then second, China is already there cutting Contracts to dig up half of Greenland to get to rare earth minerals, which belong to, in the eyes of Washington, to a security narrative on a global security basis. You don't want China there doing that. So it solves China and the rare earth minerals. It provides protection. If you figure out who's going to pay for Greenland and the NATO protection, which is going to be us. And the news media wants to call it an invasion, like we're going to take it over. Like China is about to take over Taiwan. No, that's not what's going on here. It starts with security and keeping China out of our backyard. That's where it starts.
- [56:25]
Pat
Adam, where you at with this?
- [56:27]
Adam
To me, this is such a Trump move. I can just see Trump sitting in a meeting one day and they're being like, trump, what are your thoughts on green? It's like, it's green. I love green. It's money, land. I love real estate. It's the world's largest island. I don't know if you know that it's the world's largest. We're going to make Greenland great again. I just see Trump being obsessed with Greenland. Yes, there's geopolitical notions with this. Yes, there's assets there. Yes. There's minerals there. Whatever it may be, strategically, I think just knowing Trump at the lowest common denominator is like, let me some. Greenland. And he's now obsessed with Greenland. That's my assumption.
- [57:05]
Pat
Rob, your thoughts?
- [57:06]
Tom
All right.
- [57:07]
Rob Schneider
I got a couple of things to say. I think that Denmark has to negotiate something that benefits the people of Greenland. And I think they. They could. Absolutely. I just think in the same way, I think Canada could have a good negotiation, but specifically with Greenland, it is a. I was way, way more dovish than any of this stuff. But I think when you think geopolitically and you have to work out some sort of situation, so you cannot have China taking over Venezuela and that oil. You just can't do it and expect to still, you know, have, you know, to have your dominance in this region. And, you know, we need to do that. I would never have thought I would have gotten there. And the same thing with Greenland. They have to work out some accommodation, but they will, and it's a treaty. At the end of the day, they'll come up to Denmark and they'll have some kind of treaty. It's just that Trump's comes off to these people as uncouth and bombastic in the way he talks. And. And I think if it was like Clinton, they would have figured out a deal already, you know, seriously, because you know the Democrats and it's all the media that just, you know, just like how that the headline that J.D. vance read, they manipulate, they just manipulate. It's just political warfare and of, you know, to undermine these, this conservative, this anti establishment president. So I do think that, that we're not going to have it. We'll say as far as Greenland's concerned, they have to have a treaty and if they won't do the treaty, I think that there's another way to make that work. I do think though, if you look at our constitution, it has to be Congress has to approve any military action no matter what. There still has to be through Congress. Unfortunately, after 9 11, the Congress has just given all the powers and we know we no longer have a legislature. We just have an emperor that we elect.
- [59:02]
Adam
Can I get your opinion on this? Because you know we saw what the late night comics did. They said that just a diversion. Him going after Maduro is just a deflection after the Epstein files. If you're putting yourself in Trump's shoes, you have so much going on in the world. You just did the Mideast peace deal. Maduro, where is Greenland legitimately on his list of priorities in your opinion?
- [59:22]
Pat
Yeah, I don't know where it's on his list. Here's what I will tell you. If you, if you study history. America, for the longest time we were all about expansionism. So we had the 13 colonies originally and then we buy Louisiana for $7.2 million from Napoleon because he was fighting everybody in Europe. So then America doubles in size. Rob, if you want to pull up the map when we bought Louisiana for $7.2 million and then from there we buy Florida for 5 million bucks for nothing. Literally. We bought Florida for 5 million bucks. And then we go to the only one that we had to go to war for land was against Mexico, which we got California, Arizona, New Mexico, all of that. Texas actually wasn't war. Texas became its own country from 1836 to 1845 and they even had their own embassy. If you pull up Rob, embassy of Texas in Louis, in London and France. Type in Texas embassy, London, France and go to images. If you go to images, if you go to images, take a look at this. This is a Texas embassy right there. Rob, click on the one you had right there on the first one you had. No, no, on the first one you had Rob. On the first one you had. Rob, you had on that. Rob, you just had. Yeah, zoom in on that one. If you can. Yeah. Texas, that is their embassy in London and we had it also in France. So Texas chooses to come in and be part of the union, but we have to pay Mexico $3.4 million. We collected, we rolled the debt and we paid Mexico 15 million bucks. And then Hawaii was known as their own kingdom across a lot of different countries. Hawaii comes in and we're expanding. And in the last expansion, a president that we had was a guy named James Polk. James Polk draws a line, which he was brilliant, by the way. If you see James Polk's line, Rob, can you type in James Polk border line, Cuba, Mexico. If you just type in James Polk border line, Cuba, Mexico. Go to images, you'll see it. Here's what he said. Should be the line go a little bit lower. Yeah, you can just use that one, Rob, the one you have up, make it bigger. His line was Mexico needed to be a part of America. Cuba needed to be a part of America. And he was expanding. And then Congress is like, no, no, no. If we bring Mexico to be a part of it, we're going to get too many Catholics and Hispan and we're gonna have to give them. It's going to confuse the nationalists that we have in America. So World War I happens. And after World War I, when that takes place, you know, everybody was like, this is going to be the last war. We're not going to have another war after this one. And then we're going to be fine. And they're like, wait a minute. We became isolationists. We kind of like, look, don't mind anybody's. But we became a little bit scared. God forbid next war happens, because some, some of these things that we had, we didn't have a lot of weapons. We were not a strong military yet. Then comes the next phase, which is by far the face that is, is not the good face. Post 1950, World War II, when that comes, we decide to intervene in different ways. So we go do coups or sanctions or proxy wars. And that's what we start. We start poking and getting involved in too many elections.
- [62:36]
Adam
Communism.
- [62:37]
Pat
Yeah, because of the whole comment. Let me finish, Rob.
- [62:40]
Rob Schneider
Yeah.
- [62:40]
Pat
So this is the whole thing because of communism. But then guess when that happens after 1950. Guess what started in 1947. The CIA started in 1947. So we start. So now since Polk, the first time ever we're getting a president that's thinking about expansionism without killing anybody. It's like he just, hey, we're going to go in. Maduro's out here's what we're doing. 30 to 50 million mares. Quite frankly, if you're American, how do you think America became America? You think all these lands were just handed to us? You know, hey, let me have this land. Take it. No, you go on. And so to me, a part of me is thinking, saying, if, if, if Trump can go and say Panama Canal, we're doing the steel China, you're not getting involved, period. I'm putting this here. It's going to come through. And if you don't, I'm going to come out here and take all the oil from you, from Venezuela. If you want to come to the Western Hemisphere, this whole Monroe Doctrine we're going to turn into Donald Doctrine. The Western Hemisphere's priority is ours. You guys go deal with everything else. So I like that he's expanding and thinking long term, because forget this term, go next president and think if China decides to do the next Covid, what is the next Covid thing that China could do? So imagine if one, they shut down the Panama Canal and food and supplies not coming here. Two, China has all these minerals that you need. If they have control of that and we don't have. So now he goes and says, no, no, we need Greenland, because I can't, the way he's sequencing this out, if people are not following this. So I support this. I know a lot of people are saying, this is not what I voted for. This is not what I did this. I voted for this. I like the fact that he's playing offense and thinking 40 years. And the more we study history, you'll realize long term, this is going to protect Americans. Is this going to be beneficial for everybody around the world? Maybe. But I know it's going to be beneficial for America, so I support it. Right.
- [64:31]
Rob Schneider
Well, if you take a look at Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, those places are not better off with American intervention. I will say that. And that was mentioned by Congressman Thomas Massie, who I like a lot. I know Trump doesn't like him now, but he's wrong about Venezuela. And I'll tell you simply this. All those countries had one thing in common. They had tribes who hated each other. And when the dominating force, whether it was Saddam Hussein, whatever, was taken out of power, then it became this killing field. And that's, that's what happens when America interferes in that region. I will say it's not going to happen in Venezuela because you have Catholics there. Here's what you never heard. Hey, a group of Christians went on a train. The other day and stabbed a bunch of people. You don't hear that. So I think it's, you know, we have to be wary of just going in and replacing other leaders around the world. If this guy's a drug pen, it'll.
- [65:43]
Pat
Be brought out.
- [65:46]
Rob Schneider
In court. I mean, I think the people who are protesting against this are these white liberals. But anybody who has any Venezuelan experience and any Venezuelan, they're all celebrating for a reason. And I have to listen to that because I don't know as much as them.
- [66:04]
Adam
Well, I know a lot of Venezuelans in Miami, and not one is upset about Maduro. And by the way, that goes for anyone that has any affiliation with Latin America. My Colombian friends are happy about this. My Mexican friends about this. Anyone who hates communism and fascism and socialism, advocates for this. I'll say one thing that I agree with you on. We don't understand that side of the world as. As well as they thought they did.
- [66:29]
Tom
Yeah.
- [66:29]
Adam
Something that I always think about is that every country wants the same two things, peace and prosperity. So in Venezuela, they want that. In Greenland, they want that. Mexico, they want that.
- [66:37]
Rob Schneider
On that side of the world, they don't want that. They don't want peace and prosperity, global domination.
- [66:41]
Adam
A lot of what they want is jihad. So we went in there trying to give them peace and prosperity and democracy. They're like, not so fast. We're jihadists. We're trying to take over the world in our frame of worldview. So to me, it's completely different. What we tried to do, toppling these regimes decades ago versus what's happening.
- [66:59]
Pat
I can tell you about Thomas Massie and some of these guys on not wanting to be involved. And I get that. I get the whole conversations of not wanting to do that. But I don't mind expanding. I don't mind thinking long term. I don't mind strategizing our next moves. I totally get that part of I will not want military to go into Greenland like Rand Paul. Is this the clip with Rand Paulson? Go ahead and play this clip. Where? And Tom, I'm going to come to you next on this one. Go ahead, Paul. Go ahead, G. It won't happen under my rob today. Your name is G. Just so you.
- [67:31]
Tom
Know, that kind of military takeover of Greenland.
- [67:34]
Rob Schneider
What I can tell you, though, is.
- [67:35]
Tom
If you want to purchase Greenland, the.
- [67:37]
Rob Schneider
Best way would be to try to.
- [67:38]
Tom
Have the goodwill with the people. So first, it would probably require a.
- [67:42]
Pat
Vote of the people to be independent.
- [67:43]
Tom
Of Denmark, which I think the people of Greenland are inclined to do.
- [67:46]
Adam
And then it would have to be.
- [67:48]
Rob Schneider
Some sort of offer of something that makes it better to be part of the United States. We have acquired territory. I mean, half the United States came to us through the Louisiana Purchase, Alaska.
- [67:57]
Tom
Came to us through a purchase.
- [67:58]
Rob Schneider
But you didn't get to those purchases.
- [68:00]
Tom
Like any deal or diplomacy, by insulting your opponent. You get a there by actually trying to plead.
- [68:07]
Pat
He can pause it. So he's. Tom, your thoughts on this?
- [68:09]
Tom
So getting back to what you were talking about, about American expansion. Yeah, that's not about military intervention and blood on the floor. Not at all. Most Americans don't know about a couple things because our news media refuses to talk about it. But the Giuk Gap, some people call it the Juuk Gap. Giuk, which stands for Greenland, Iceland, UK is a gap in the North Atlantic that is strategically important and over the five years has had tremendous increase in Russian sub activity. And so in September of last year, what was Operation Arctic Light? That wasn't in the headlines. It was a major naval exercise by NATO that was on the coast of Iceland, the west coast of Iceland and the east coast of there. It is Arctic Light, major military exercise because NATO came to Denmark and said, man, we got to do this, this exercise here. We're going to do some testing. We want to be below the ice in the North Sea and we want to have submarine listening installations. There's things we want to do. And Denmark said, well, I'm a little light on cash this week. I assume you guys are going to pay for it. And there it is. The United States, France, Germany, Norway and Sweden were part of the bankroll for this. Then let's go back to May. You know what Operation Dynamic Mongoose was? It was another North Atlantic activity because of increased Russian naval activity. NATO has been up there looking over this for a while, and then the Chinese are pulling in to get minerals. I support this expansion because there's a security element and an expansion element. And let me quote Marco Rubio, the one quote he gave that wasn't on television. Apparently he said, look, we're eager to build lasting commercial relationships that benefit Americans and the people of Greenland and Denmark. Our common adversaries are increasingly active in the Arctic. It's a huge concern that the United States and Denmark and the NATO allies share. So if the America expands it, I support what Trump is doing. Look, how many parts of this get solved by Trump showing leadership on a world stage and doing this?
- [70:26]
Adam
I want to give Trump a little credit for one thing. I was very frustrated with Trump, especially In his first term when the rhetoric and the bombasticness of his words were, we're going to win so big you're going to get sick of winning. And then we weren't winning. And it was so easy to be like, what now at this point, we are winning and his actions are speaking louder than his words. Also say another thing. The challenge that he had in his first administration in 2016, he had all these bootlickers around him that wouldn't say, talk back to him. Look what Mike Pence does. Mike Pence was probably the worst VP for not even counteracting maybe anything that Trump did. Look at the two people closest to Trump. Now you have Marco Rubio who was a foe and was deemed little Marco, that is now maybe the greatest Secretary of State we've seen in our lifetime. And number two, a Trump hating VP named J.D. vance who is a fighter and, and advocate for him. So in my opinion, working with people that may or may not he would have aligned with in his first time in office and they're basically helping him win so big that we're not getting tired of winning.
- [71:36]
Rob Schneider
Well, look at Elon Musk as well. I mean they were, they had their little fight and they're back and had dinner this week. Look, he's not afraid to meet with people and work with people. President Trump has done an exceptional job, I believe and I'm shocked at how. I just can't believe that Iranian bombing success. I mean, I'm against bombing anybody in the Middle east and I think I just. He knows more than I do. They know more than I do.
- [72:08]
Adam
Why are you against bombing anybody in the Middle East?
- [72:09]
Rob Schneider
Well, I'm against just unilaterally just going without Congress's approval and bombing. I think that's. But as far as it seemed to be effective to take out, you know.
- [72:20]
Adam
I don't know if it says that Rob and I want to get your opinion. Every time that we need to do something, we need to have people that can't agree on anything, agree on something about. I just think massive magnitude that to me, I think you have to counterproductive.
- [72:32]
Rob Schneider
For our country in our Constitution, you have to have the Congress decides go.
- [72:35]
Adam
On going to war if we're going to war. But I think it's a single bombing.
- [72:39]
Rob Schneider
A war.
- [72:40]
Adam
What. What constitutes a war? Do what we did.
- [72:42]
Rob Schneider
I think a bombing constitutes. If you're gonna kill people, that constitutes war. If it's not people are.
- [72:48]
Adam
Then we have a war on our street every single day.
- [72:50]
Rob Schneider
We do. Okay, let me just Tell you this thing as far as this is really interesting and I think pbd, you're gonna like this and I think this is as far as the rare earth minerals. China cutting us off, potentially cutting us off is a national defense issue. However, there is an answer to this and this is like to me, absolutely incredible. There's a chemist that James Tour. T O U r we know, James Tour, the nanotechnologist with losing using flash fuel technology can make and you guys know him, this guy is the potential answer for, for making, getting these rare earth minerals out of recycling old electronics and, and taking ash from coal burning plants and then you know, basically putting between these two hot coils like a toaster and then that turns it and then when you put is it chloride on it and chloro, it's chlorophyll then you have, then you're able to make these things at a lower temperature to get more of these rare earth minerals. And this is the answer we don't need China and truthfully we don't even need to the rare earth minerals in, in Greenland. We can just, you can make it right here. And, and I think I'm gonna go out to that plant in March and check it out. And I think that's the answer and that's what I.
- [74:14]
Pat
Well, until that day when they figured that out, they haven't figured out we're expanding and protecting it to make sure long term we're good. But I love that there's ideas like this and I think that's gonna be happening. But somebody online proposed a great idea about how to get Greenland and it's straight up out of Game of Thrones type of stuff. And they said why don't we just have Baron Trump marry Princess Isabella of Denmark and Greenland is given to America as dowry payment. So not a bad idea. I just don't know if that's his type or not. She's not bad looking, but we'll see.
- [74:48]
Adam
I mean that's not what your country can do for you.
- [74:50]
Vinnie
What can you do for your country, Trump?
- [74:53]
Adam
We need you, buddy.
- [74:54]
Rob Schneider
It's a sacrifice that I think he's should make.
- [74:56]
Pat
That's a sacrifice that you should make. And by the way, just now we want to go into Iran. Yeah, okay, just now if we want to go into Iran. Story just came in a tweet from Khamenei 40 minutes ago. Our enemies don't know Iran. In the past the US failed due to their flawed planning day too. Today too, their flawed scheming will cause them to fail again. Okay, so that's Khamenei. Now, keep in mind, I don't know.
- [75:25]
Rob Schneider
If he's in the country still.
- [75:26]
Pat
No, we don't know that. And he says God will. And God will bring the feeling of victory to the streets of the hearts of all the Iranian people very soon. So he's been tweeting left and right. Today, like the past, the US Is wrong in its calculation about Iran. Today, the Iranian nation is even more equipped and armed than that day before the revolution. Both our spiritual strength and hard conventional weapons can't be compared to what we had before. By the way, he's tweeted like 7, 8, 10, 10 times this morning. The Iranian people will not tolerate the hairlings of foreign powers. Okay, so why don't we do this Khamenei question for you? And why don't you turn off the Internet yesterday? Rob, if you want to go to the tweet, just go to my Twitter account. Rob, you don't even need to go to a different place. Yeah, right there. So zoom in a little bit on the bottom, the chart to show to him. This is the Internet in Iran completely shut down as of yesterday. So, Khamenei and Pezeshkian, why did you turn it off? Why is that turned off? Number came in right now. 50 plus people have been killed, died in Iran. Now some are saying it's in the hundreds. When you talk to people who are Iranian, nobody knows, but there's a lot of different things that are being talked about. And on top of that, yesterday, I believe, Rob, if you want to pull up his Twitter account, there was a story by a guy named Eli who tweets out. I send it to you, Robin, and your text, there is a tweet by Eli. Rabbi, send it in. Your text, there's a tweet by a guy named Eli that said yesterday Reza Pahlavi was going to meet with Donald Trump. So that was a meeting that came out. I say they're going to have a meeting at the beginning. The bottom tweet, Rob, if you can just click on the bottom tweet, this was going viral. Breaking. Iran's crown prince is going to Mar A Lago to meet with the President. Two hours later, after this goes viral, the same guy retweets and says, correction, Good for him. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi will hold a meeting at Mar A Lago, but he is not scheduled to meet with Trump. And then yesterday, Hugh Hewitt asks the President a question of whether he'd be willing to meet with Reza Pahlavi. And here's what the President had to say. Go ahead, Rob.
- [77:39]
Rob Schneider
Would you meet with Crown Prince Pavlavi.
- [77:42]
Pat
Who is the heir to the constitutional monarchy?
- [77:46]
Rob Schneider
He doesn't want to rule. He would be a, you know, symbolic ruler, like King Charles. Well, I've watched him, and he's a. Seems like a nice person, but I'm not sure that it would be appropriate at this point to do that as president. I think that we should let everybody go out there and we see who emerges. I'm not sure necessarily that I. It would be an appropriate thing to do.
- [78:09]
Pat
Okay, so he doesn't want to meet with them now. In the last week, in a Wall Street Journal interview, Reza Pahlavi said that we need no help from us. The Iranians are going to be able to pull this off by themselves. And I said, if that's the case, your father didn't go and become a king without any intervention. He needed help. You know that the world knows that, that people got involved to get him in there because they wanted Mossadegh out. So that's his famous line at the Wall Street Journal, which a lot of Iranians were furious with. We don't need a single boot of your military on the ground in Iran. Got criticized hardcore by his own people. He flips now in every tweet he posts. Trump is in the tweet. Rob, if you can go to one of Reza Pahleri's tweets where he says, I am grateful that the president. I send you that tweet as well, Rob, but if you just want to go to his account, you'll see it. Yeah, if you just go to his account, go a little bit lower. Not this one. It is. No, not that one. This is. Okay, go to. That's the response, which we'll get to here in a minute. Go a little bit lower right there. Rap. If you can click on that one, show more the one above it. Okay, you can. You can use that one as well. It says, I want to thank the leader of the free world, President Trump, for reiterating to his promise to hold the regime to account. So, Reza, what does that mean? Do you want intervention or you do not want intervention? So now you're flip flopping. And by the way, I want you to know, you know, if you're going to pull it off, pull it off. It is time for others, including European leaders, to follow his lead and break their silence and act more decisively in support of the people. Now, the one thing that we do know is Netanyahu has met with RP many times. They had a picture. So Israel definitely is supportive of Reza Pahlavi. But if you go on a previous tweet, Rob, he says another thing about Trump. Go above it. Go above it right there. Click on that one. Show more. I appreciate President Trump as a leader once again for emphasizing the necessity of. Now is the time for others to go back up to the recent tweet that he just had up. He just had a recent tweet that came up like 23 minutes ago. Keep. That's the one right there. Mr. President, this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support and action. Last night you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets facing down live bullets. Today they are. Rob, can you please zoom in a little bit? My eyes are like 47 years old. Today they are facing not just bullets, but a total communication blackout. No Internet, no landlines. Khamenei, fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and will help of your powerful promise to support protesters, has threatened the people of the streets with a brutal crackdown and he wants to use his blackout to murder these young heroes. I've called the people to the streets to fight for their freedom and to overwhelm the scrutiny security forces with sheer numbers. Last night they did that. Your threat to this criminal regime also kept the regime thugs at bay. By time is of. By time is of the essence. The people will be on the streets again in an hour. I'm asking you to help. You have proven and I know you are a man of peace and a man of war. Please be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran. Make up your mind.
- [81:25]
Rob Schneider
I know that's very.
- [81:26]
Pat
Let me just finish this up. Make up your mind. So do you want intervention or not? Now let me give you the other problem you're facing. And by the way, some of the people online that are like, well, Pat supports mek. Let me just say this flat out. I had a call yesterday with a higher ups about mek. This is what I learned about MEK to all the people that are talking about mek. Mek Mekhi. So me K is. Mek is somebody that was previously pro Khomeini. Khomeini. And then they went and helped Saddam Hussein. It's like Marxism meets, you know, jihadist, you know, Islamists combined together. They're like a. I don't even know if I would say AOC meets Mamdani of what they're doing. I don't even think she's good for Iran at all. But that's the name. That's somebody that's out there. Let me tell you what I'm looking for for some of the people that are wondering if I'm paid by mek. One minute. So funny. I saw two tweets. One tweet said I'm paid by Qatar. The other tweets that I'm paid by mek. And six months ago they said I got paid by Israel. So who the hell am I getting paid by? Right? I'm not, you know, we're not taking money from anybody. But this is the reality to the Iranian people and specifically to Reza Palabi. Very important for you, very, very important to pay attention to this. I, I contacted Kalshi this morning. Rob, can you pull up the Kalshi numbers on who Kalshee sees as the next leader for Iran? Okay, so can you zoom in, please? Count next leaders for Iran. If you go a little bit lower with the list of names and click more, they have Mojataba Khamenei at 25, which means it's going to be another Khamenei. Then they have Goldson, Hossein Mohseni, 23%. Then I've Hassan Khomeini, 19%. Who do you not see on there? You do not see Reza Pahlavi on there?
- [83:14]
Rob Schneider
No.
- [83:15]
Pat
So I contacted Kalshi and I said we need to address Palavi to this list. And Iranians, for those of you guys that are in America, this is what the world is looking at nowadays. Decisions are being made by Kalshi, Okay? For you guys to go out there and sit there and say, wait a minute, how come he's not on there? By the way, Nargis is not even on this list, but Reza Pallavi is not on this list. So the people that are betting are saying, we don't believe it's going to be him, but I do believe he has a shot. Here's the screw up. I would have gladly have said this privately, but he's forcing me to say all this stuff publicly to him and all the Iranians. I cannot believe, you know, and all this other stuff. Listen, we want to see this happen, okay? We would like to see this happen. I wish he had competition. There literally is no competition in Iran that's going up against rp. I wish there was. This is why he's so soft. He needs competition. He needs somebody to poke him. He needs somebody to disrupt him. He needs somebody to wake his ass up. And I'm willing to Play that card because there's no other candidate, not Nargis, not any of these other guys that would be good for the Iranian people. But Reza Pahlavi, pay very close attention. And I'm going to give you a case study of somebody to watch Venezuela. Maduro was taken. When he was taken, everybody thought it was going to be Maria Corino Machado. What did he do? He says no. He put Maduro's VP in there, reporting to Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio is more about intervening. J.D. vance is not. Watch what Maria Corina Machado did. Pay very close attention because you suck at diplomacy. You absolutely suck at diplomacy. So I'm going to give you this message and I'll be the guy that's pushing you around a little bit. And I can be the enemy. Gladly. I'm comfortable with it. It doesn't bother me. All these messages and videos you guys make. You're comical to me because you're so worried about. God forbid somebody says something to this man that is going to be a little bit too sensitive. You don't talk to him this way. I will gladly talk this way and you can say whatever you want to say. Nothing is going to happen here. I'm going to be comfortable giving this message. Maria Karina Machado, the worst thing that happened to her to be the leader of Venezuela was when she won the Nobel Peace Prize. The day she won it, she knew. Look how wise she is. She knew, if I have to exchange this Nobel Peace Prize to help Venezuela be free. Screw this Nobel Peace Prize. I want Venezuela to be free. You know what she just said? She says, I want to fly out to go meet with the president to hand him over the Nobel Peace Prize. And then the president has asked this question. Is this the one, Rob? Is this the short segment? Because I don't want to go through the whole 7 minute 1. Sean Hannity asked the question and says she offered to give you the Nobel Peace Prize. What would you do about it? If you can play this clip, please go forward.
- [86:14]
Rob Schneider
Let me ask you about Maria Carina Machado. I've had her on TV this week. Yeah, she's a very nice person. Okay. She won the Nobel Peace Prize. When she accepted that Peace Prize, she dedicated it to you. She said to me this week, both on TV and radio.
- [86:32]
Pat
Brilliant.
- [86:33]
Rob Schneider
That she wants to give the Nobel Prize her Nobel Peace Prize.
- [86:37]
Pat
The people matter more to liberating her ego.
- [86:41]
Rob Schneider
In 2023, she won over 92% of the vote to be the leader of the opposition. Maduro kept her off the ballot. Do you have any plans to meet with her and would you accept the Nobel Prize she wants to hand to you? Well, I understand she's coming in next week sometime and I look forward to saying hello to her.
- [87:01]
Pat
And I've heard that she wants to do that.
- [87:03]
Adam
That would be a great honor.
- [87:05]
Rob Schneider
I did put out eight wars.
- [87:07]
Pat
Eight and a quarter.
- [87:08]
Rob Schneider
Because, you know, Thailand and Cambodia started.
- [87:11]
Pat
Going at it again.
- [87:11]
Rob Schneider
I'll put the list. I give a quarter.
- [87:13]
Adam
So it's.
- [87:14]
Pat
You can pause it right there. You can pause it right there. So remember, look, look at the diplomacy and the wisdom of Maria Karina Machado who is like, why the hell would you give me the Nobel Peace Prize? This man prevented eight wars. You're giving it to me. She's wise. She says, I would much rather give it to you because she knows she's going to need his help. I want to applaud you, Reza Pahlavi. You've been more diplomatic the last four or five days since I called you out on reaching out to the Trump's camp and apparently you've been trying to get a hold of their camp. You're taking the right approach. But just keep in mind how she played. That is the best. You are the luckiest man alive to have a case study right now Venezuela taking place that is a very similar story to Iran. Make sure whoever's in your ear, you're making the right next few moves. You're going to need his help. This nonsense article you did with Wall Street Journal, I hope nobody ever reads it again of we don't need anybody's help. You've shifted because you're paying close attention. But if you take this next move properly and you go to the manner you're respectful with him, he comes and help you out, you have a standing chance. I don't know what that role is going to be. I'd like to see you be on couches so other people can vote for it. But according to the people that bet in Las Vegas, they don't believe you're winning. Iranians go on Kalshi on that. Rob, can we put that link below for Kalshi because the world is seeing this kind of stuff to see who they're going to be rooting for. An FYI, go to another report on Cal She Rob, the one that says which leaders are about to fall. Watch this, folks. This is to the Iranians. This is very good for you to see. Watch this one. Zoom in a little bit, Rob, if you can. Who dare he say is going to go leaders that are going to be out in 2027. Can you put more Rob on the bottom so the names go lower?
- [88:58]
Adam
Click more, send you an image.
- [89:00]
Pat
Watch this. Look who's all the way at the top.
- [89:02]
Tom
Wow.
- [89:03]
Pat
Khamenei is number one at 60% above everybody. Keir Starmer, Miguel Diaz, Canel Netanyahu, Zielinski Orban. He's above it all. So, Iranians around the world, if you're watching this, my priority is for you to be free. I'd like to come back and visit first to the people that are in RP's ear. Encourage him to pay very close attention to how wise of a decision Maria Corinne Machado made. She didn't play this ego thing. We don't need Trump's help and he's making the moves. If you don't, you're hurting your own people. The Iranians need Trump. You don't have a military to protect them. Yes, they came out. That's great. But you're going to need Trump's help to be able to help you out with this next move that's taking place.
- [89:45]
Rob Schneider
Respectfully, what would pbd. What? What? What kind of help are you talking about?
- [89:52]
Pat
It. Listen, what kind of help is the following? You threaten somebody right now, say, I swear to God, if you say anything, I'm going to hit you. Okay, you're right. Hear me out. I say there's two threats. Whose threat do you think carries more weight? Yours or Jon Jones?
- [90:07]

- [90:42]
Pat
That's not the question, though. The question is who's whose threat carries more weight? Yours or Jon Jones? No. Right. So Jon Jones has got more threats. So in fear.
- [90:50]
Rob Schneider
I don't think that that's a proper.
- [90:51]
Pat
Analogy, but I think it's a proper analogy for the following reason.
- [90:54]
Rob Schneider
What would be the. What would be.
- [90:55]
Pat
And I'm telling you, I'm answering your question with a question. To me, what I'm saying is with Iran is Reza Pahlavi's threat mean nothing to come. Nothing. Khamenei looks at Reza Pahlavi and laughs at him. Khamenei looks at Reza Palavia. You're a little boy. You've never had a job in your life. But Khamenei looks at Trump and says, that's not a guy I want to mess with. Khamenei fears Trump. He does not fear Reza Pahlavi. Anytime you're in this kind of a position, just like Maria Karina Machado, just like a. A Reza Palavi, just like these guys, you have to sit there and say, I'm going to need some kind of leverage from somewhere. Not even if it's somebody that fears us, I can get things done for my people.
- [91:39]
Rob Schneider
So you're talking leverage you're not talking about. I'm talking about specific military action.
- [91:42]
Pat
I'm talking about go attack and send troops over there. No, not at all. But just the thought of the person knowing. Because when Trump threatens. And he did what he did to Gazan Soleimani. Trump's threats are not lightweight threats. He has a reputation. Sometimes when you build that reputation up as a person, that when you say you're going to do something, you do it. That's all you need.
- [92:02]
Rob Schneider
Okay. All right. Just asking. I will say, though, we have to be, you know, we. I just think if you go back to the Shah of Iran and how he was pushed out because Iran was getting, at that time, 16% of the oil profits in 1952 from the predecessor to British Petroleum. And then when they said, well, we want more, and then the Brits said no. And they said, well, can we at least look at the books to see if we're getting 16%? Then they said no. And then they asked for a million dollars from Truman to the Brits to overthrow Mosaddegh, because Mosaddegh at that point nationalized the oil. Then he went to Eisenhower and said, can we get. And then Eisenhower said yes. And then they sent a, you know, a paid mob in front of the presidential palace. And then they. And then they. That didn't really work. And then they sent two. And then, you know, Mossadegh had to jump over the. They burned it down. Mossadegh had to jump over the fence. And then you had 26 years of the Shah of Iran. And during that time, the secret police, you know, we can't. I mean, I would. I would suggest that they not have that repeat of that, because what it did was it set up, you know, a similar thing to happen where people were, if you could, where anybody who was the opposition.
- [93:32]
Pat
I don't think you follow the. You don't. You.
- [93:34]
Rob Schneider
You probably don't follow the Iranians. I mean, I'm just talking about that, that's. That's the history that I know about.
- [93:39]
Pat
Right there, is that you don't want a constitutional monarchy to return to Iran.
- [93:42]
Rob Schneider
No, I'm saying that I don't want a secret police underneath the monarchy to return to America.
- [93:47]
Pat
You're talking about SAVAK is what you're talking about. Okay, so then that's under. But here's what you have to do.
- [93:52]
Rob Schneider
But I'm saying, look, I don't mind a, you know, a monetary, you know, sorry, A monarchy that would support a constitutional republic of some sort. Absolutely. I don't want a return of savak. You're absolutely right.
- [94:05]
Pat
No. And by the way, just so you know that we here are not about going. Returning to constitutional monarchy. I'd like to see a republic. I'd like to see a democracy. I'd like to see something like that.
- [94:16]
Rob Schneider
But by the way, people decide that for sure.
- [94:19]
Pat
But also when. When you talk about savak.
- [94:21]
Rob Schneider
Yeah.
- [94:21]
Pat
You know what SAVAK is?
- [94:23]
Rob Schneider
It's a secret police.
- [94:25]
Pat
So savak is MI6, savak is CIA. Savak is Mossad. So. But, but, but the. But the part about SAVAK that you have to think about is the way you look at SAVAK is what Iranians and the Middle east and the world thinks about CIA.
- [94:42]
Tom
Sure.
- [94:42]
Pat
No, they're not wrong. Yeah. So. So to us, like, you know, we have in rcia, when we go look at the history of ours with economic hitman, we would go to other countries who had resources and say, hey, you're gonna take this debt from us, you're gonna do business with us, or else we're gonna kill you. These are documented meetings that we had with world leaders in the past. And so that's savak. I know it's always very comfortable.
- [95:05]
Rob Schneider
It radicalized people and it set up the situation for the Khomeini. So I'm saying let's not do a repeat of that for the Iranian people. Let them decide.
- [95:12]
Pat
What happened with Reza Pahlavi at the end is he got soft at the of end because he allowed the 3,000 political prisoners when Jimmy Carter's like, release them all, that ended up being Hezbollahs, that ended up being the isis, that ended up being all those guys.
- [95:29]
Rob Schneider
So you're talking about the 20. Respectfully, PBD, if I can call you that. No, Respectfully, I think the 26 years of really not allowing any political opposition to his reign created that kind of tension and that kind of.
- [95:45]
Pat
That's a fair argument. That's a fair argument for that. Yeah.
- [95:48]
Adam
So.
- [95:48]
Rob Schneider
And I think at the end of the day, I mean, you're a rational person who wants what's best for the Iranian people. And that is to your credit. And I think we all do. But I think it's important to recognize in the past, just like what's happening now. We're recognizing. I think you're having not a revolution in this country, you're having a counter revolution to some of the lunacy policies that we've had, like opening up 10, you know, the border to millions of people just to simply.
- [96:13]
Pat
But if I have to say this respectfully, if I have to choose Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, that was still there. And let's just say he never fell in 79 and Savak was still Savak. Let's say Savak is still around till today. If I have to choose what Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi did with Savak and then later on say his son right now would be the king of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, who he's not, versus what Khomeini, Khamenei, IRGC did to the world in the Middle East, 100 out of 100 times, I choose Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. And following his son Reza Pahlavi, not, not 80 out of 100 times. 100 out of 100 times. I see your point. And by the way, just so you know, if Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was still. He's obviously he died, he had health issues. But say his son follows his lead and is close to his dad. 911 never happens. So 911 doesn't happen. Those 3, 600 people that were working in the World Trade center, they're still around. They're still going to their families. They're still going and spending time with their kids. They're still seeing their parents. They're still able to enjoy the American dream. They're still able to do that. That was due to the fall of the Iranian revolution. Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, as much as everybody from the left, right and center gives him, he kept the Middle east safe. There was no to little wars in the Middle east when he was the king of Iran. Now, you can call it Savak, you can call it this, you can call it that. And by the way, even him in interviews said that Savak used to do certain things. Even him with Mike Wallace Said we used to torture, but not anymore. He said that in interviews. So you're right, they did some of those things.
- [97:56]
Rob Schneider
Well, I mean, if we just look at the interventionist policies of the United States, one of the consistent things that happens PBD is that we seem to replace secular leaders and they get replaced with this Muslim extremist.
- [98:12]
Pat
I agree.
- [98:12]
Rob Schneider
Well, extremists, I'm saying Islamists who actually follow what the Quran says. I mean, there's no such thing as moderate Islam. That doesn't exist. So, but I'm saying. So but this, that's why I don't think, I know Venezuela will not be the same because if you take a look at the other presidents, you know, of intervention, Panama and Grenada. Grenada every year has like a holiday for, you know, commemorating the invasion of Granada and Panama. So I think that you're gonna have a very similar situation. And I think we have to be careful, you know, that for Mexico, that's leaning socialistic. And I think what has made Mexico, which is such an incredible country with such amazing people, lovely people, is that they've been imprisoned and tortured by, you know, for, I mean, they'll lose 50,000 in less than a decade. In Mexico, the cartels, you know, it would, they have to eventually go. And I don't know how that is done, but it certainly would make Mexico, you know, for the people that would be, it would get them out of the prison that is made from those cartels.
- [99:28]
Pat
Adam.
- [99:29]
Adam
Well, let me stay on Iran for a second. So this is what happens when you go full Islamic. You know the famous line from the movie Tropic Thunder, like never go full retard. Iran went full Islamic. And we're seeing other case examples of when you go full Islamic, whether it's isis, whether it's Al Qaeda, whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's Hamas, whether it's Boko Haram. You go full Islamic. This is what happens to your society. Speaking of going full Islamic and going full retard, do you see what's going on with your friend Tucker Carlson these days? Who is the Islamic regime Ayatollah playing to use as propaganda in Iran? None other than Tucker Carlson. Do you have this clip, Rob? This is what the Shah, this is what Ayatollah of Iran is playing to indoctrinate his own people, to galvanize them to not overthrow his regime. Go ahead.
- [100:25]
Rob Schneider
So the Islamic regime right now is literally broadcasting Tucker Carlson interviews in, in.
- [100:33]
Pat
Persian on their 24 hour news channel.
- [100:37]
Rob Schneider
The country is in a state of chaos.
- [100:39]
Pat
And yet, for some reason, the Islamic.
- [100:41]
Adam
Regime is choosing to. To play Tucker Carlson interviews because this.
- [100:45]
Pat
Is like, you know, it's.
- [100:46]
Rob Schneider
It's Islamist propaganda. I'm just filming this right now because.
- [100:50]
Pat
If I didn't do this, no one.
- [100:52]
Rob Schneider
Would believe this is literally what's going on in occupied Iran right now. I listened to that conversation that he had.
- [100:59]
Adam
Did you listen to what she just said?
- [101:01]
Rob Schneider
I did. I did.
- [101:02]
Adam
So why is the Ayatollah of Iran playing?
- [101:05]
Rob Schneider
Because it's pro Iranian. Obviously, it's pro their regime.
- [101:09]
Vinnie
Well, do you guys know.
- [101:09]
Adam
Why would Tucker Carlson. I defend the Ayatollah regime?
- [101:13]
Rob Schneider
I'm not saying I don't.
- [101:15]
Adam
Well, and I'm not coming at you.
- [101:16]
Rob Schneider
No, no, no.
- [101:17]
Adam
You're his friend. Explain that.
- [101:19]
Rob Schneider
That's.
- [101:19]
Adam
That's.
- [101:19]
Rob Schneider
That's an unfair straw man question. Why is. He's not. What. He's not defending the Iranian regime.
- [101:25]
Adam
Why are they. No, no, no. Well.
- [101:30]
Rob Schneider
You'Re making that. You're making the argument and you're answering it with, with your pejorative, pejorative line of questioning. First of all, he has allowed. Tucker Carlson. We have to have people interview other people now. And he's interviewing this, you know, the president of.
- [101:49]
Adam
But there wasn't the president of Iran, who. He was entering.
- [101:52]
Rob Schneider
Who was interviewing Larry Sanger.
- [101:53]
Adam
He was interviewing some random guy.
- [101:55]
Rob Schneider
But, but, okay, but my point is this. We need to hear. We need to hear some. Yeah. He did not ask in his questions when he did that interview, which I listened to, there was questions I wish he would have asked, and he didn't. I wasn't there. I don't know. But I know that we need to have what we have to have.
- [102:09]
Adam
Why is Ayatollah even thinking about considering playing Tucker Carlson Propaganda.
- [102:15]
Rob Schneider
That's.
- [102:15]
Adam
To me, these are the questions that need to be.
- [102:18]
Rob Schneider
Well, these. These are obviously how desperate the situation is in Iran right now that they got.
- [102:24]
Vinnie
What do we got? We got Tucker.
- [102:25]
Adam
He's saying. So he's not attacking. We could use Tucker Carlson.
- [102:28]
Rob Schneider
Well, I would say in that situation. Yeah. They feel like that conversation buttresses their support for the regime.
- [102:37]
Vinnie
I was just thinking, oh, you guys know who Amid Malik is? He's the Iranian, Iranian mother, Pakistani father who invested the 15 million for Tucker to start TCN. That's number one, which is just giving a little bit backstory history. But then, Rob, I'm just curious. When did you hear. When Tucker was like, they asked him, so you're buying property in Qatar? And he goes, yeah, because I'm an American. That's what Americans do. And it's like, dude has nothing to do with it. And it just feels bad because he was, if I, if I'm not mistaken, he was interviewing the CO C. The founder of Wikipedia, because they were talking about, you know, the west and how the west talks about this and that, which, I mean, there's, there has, there is a reason that they're playing him. But Tucker and friends and all that aside, the shift of Tucker Carlson from going like, get it. Criticize America. Fine, I criticize America, especially during 911 and George Bush. I've revisited that 20 times. But you cannot deny the shift in, you know, buying land in Qatar, them playing you, which, I mean, of anything, by the way, Internet's down. Why aren't they playing you, Rob? Why aren't they playing Deuce Bigelow?
- [103:46]
Rob Schneider
It's not praying.
- [103:47]
Vinnie
Tucker Carlson talking crap about the United.
- [103:48]
Rob Schneider
States certainly doesn't look, he went full retirement start. No, it, it certainly doesn't.
- [103:52]
Adam
Why do you feel the need to defend Tucker?
- [103:55]
Rob Schneider
Because I didn't ask you to do here. He's not here. And also, I, I think that I, I, the, the. One of the great strengths that we have and what you guys have, what you have here is whether you like it or not, is to hear opposing views, and it may be views you don't like.
- [104:09]
Pat
I'm going to give something that's going to be very weird.
- [104:11]
Rob Schneider
And, and that is, and, and I got to tell you, like, I don't agree with it, but at the same time, to, to, to just attack somebody, you got to take a look at the totality. And yeah, I think that there is some potential, you know, corruption in the fact that there's not questions asked that I would have asked, but I'm not that guy.
- [104:31]
Adam
Corruption in who?
- [104:32]
Rob Schneider
Well, I'm saying that the interview with.
- [104:34]
Pat
The president had a corrupt.
- [104:35]
Rob Schneider
I mean, there was some corruption as far as I just think, you know, journalistically. But that's my point. So we're on the same page that.
- [104:41]
Adam
Tucker has been corrupted.
- [104:43]
Rob Schneider
No, I'm saying that interview, I think could have been, you know, but I'm not an interviewer. I don't do that. So I would say, like, you know, what you do is you can put information out there. Tell me why.
- [104:53]
Pat
Look at this a big deal, Adam. Why is this a big deal that they're playing Tucker? So. Because originally, what would have made it a big deal if he was inter. If they're showing what clip?
- [105:03]
Adam
If they're showing what clip of what.
- [105:05]
Pat
Would have made it. What. What clip would I have said? Why are they showing this clip? An interview with who?
- [105:11]
Adam
With the president, but it wasn't of Iran.
- [105:14]
Pat
It was an interview with Wikipedia guy.
- [105:16]
Adam
Yeah. So they're trying to rewrite history.
- [105:19]
Pat
I don't know. But all I'm saying is, like, who cares if they're showing the clip? Like, you think they're using it to show what? Hey, Tucker's on our side. I'm asking Adam, like, what do you.
- [105:28]
Adam
Think is a. I'm saying. So the fact that they're saying, hey, guys. So let's back up a second. Yeah, if you may. This regime is about to collapse, in my opinion.
- [105:37]
Pat
Okay, sure.
- [105:38]
Adam
And the. On Kalshi, who's the number one person on the list that's most likely to be toppled? So he's clinging for life.
- [105:46]
Pat
Yes.
- [105:47]
Adam
So what does a desperate animal do when he's clinging to life? He's going to fight back. So he's going to use whatever weapons at his disposal to fight. He's killing his own people. More people have been killed by the Iranian regime.
- [105:58]
Pat
That's not what I'm asking this year.
- [106:00]
Adam
So when you're desperate, you do stupid things. So he brings out this useful idiot Tucker to say, hey, guys, we're actually good people. Listen to what journalist has to say.
- [106:12]
Pat
What I'm trying to say is, what did he say? They showed a Larry Sanger clip.
- [106:20]
Adam
Defending the regime. Defending the regime. Do you think that they would play a clip of him dismantling the regime?
- [106:27]
Rob Schneider
Adam, can I ask you a question?
- [106:28]
Adam
Do you think.
- [106:29]
Rob Schneider
So they're using a clip of him.
- [106:30]
Adam
Defending the regime, saying, listen, guys, we're not that bad.
- [106:34]
Rob Schneider
Tucker Carlson, you're not making sense. You're not making sense.
- [106:37]
Adam
Respectfully, I think I'm making complete sense.
- [106:40]
Rob Schneider
No, you're not, because you only made one valid point. Khomeini has no. It doesn't know how to use the Internet. He's not doing it. His people, obviously. Exactly. Somebody's doing that. But let me. I just want to correct something I said. I didn't say that. I don't mean to say that I think that Tucker is corrupt. I'm saying that I do. There's something wrong in that conversation that he had because I, I think that that is. He's missed out on an opportunity to question.
- [107:03]
Adam
When you miss out on opportunity. An opportunity. Opportunity.
- [107:05]
Pat
Here's what I would say.
- [107:06]
Adam
At some point, you say, maybe you're compromised.
- [107:08]
Pat
Him. Here. Here's what I would say. Do. Do I think his positions changed a little bit while he's saying, I've never met anybody bad. That's from Pakistan. They've been very good. I've never met anybody. I've never met him. It's a little weird on his positioning with the video and the messaging from, you know, five years ago, 10 years ago, to where he's at today. Okay, I'll give you a little weird on what's going on.
- [107:26]
Adam
So there's other examples, but go.
- [107:27]
Pat
There's many examples to go through. Plethora of examples to go through.
- [107:31]
Adam
He forgot the Internet exists.
- [107:33]
Pat
I'm not even talking Israel.
- [107:35]
Adam
I mean, I even brought up Israel once.
- [107:36]
Pat
The argument against Israel, call it out, control, all of that stuff. I'm comfortable have that debate. I'm talking about Iran and the Middle East. Yeah, I look at this clip. I do think he made the president of Iran seem like a nice guy.
- [107:53]
Tom
Sweetheart.
- [107:54]
Pat
I do think he made it. I would have interviewed him in a very different way. What I'm specifically isolating is this singular video that people are reacting to to say what happened. Do you know yesterday, who, who was the Anna Paulina Luna we had on the. Do you know what clip was going viral yesterday? Let me show you what clip was going viral yesterday. Anna Paulina Luna. My phone is blowing up. Did you hear. Is this true that Anna Paulina Luna said on your podcast that Erica Kirk lost her kids? You guys see this clip, by the way? Tens of millions of views. So watch this clip. Go ahead, Rob.
- [108:33]
Rob Schneider
I don't think that she at all had any connection to that.
- [108:36]
Vinnie
When I see that, it's like you're.
- [108:37]
Rob Schneider
Already, you're victimizing the victim, if that makes sense.
- [108:40]
Vinnie
Because at the end of the day.
- [108:41]
Rob Schneider
She did lose her husband, she lost her kids.
- [108:43]
Pat
Like, I was just with her at.
- [108:44]
Rob Schneider
The White House and she's.
- [108:45]
Pat
She lost her kids, right?
- [108:46]
Rob Schneider
Anyone she missed, she misspoke. She meant she lost her kids, husband.
- [108:50]
Pat
I know she misspoke. What I'm trying to tell you is the Internet goes and takes this and says, Erica Kirk lost her kids.
- [108:59]
Rob Schneider
I know that's what happened.
- [109:00]
Pat
So the point, the point I'm going to use. I'm isolating this clip. If Iran was going to use the TV that they control to show a clip, they should have shown Pezechian's clip. Not Larry saying, like, well, how do.
- [109:12]
Adam
We know that they haven't shown that as well?
- [109:14]
Pat
That girl who showed it would have also shown that other clip if they did show. Like, for instance, if today somebody shows a clip and says, here's Iran showing a clip of Tucker with the President of Iran. Now I will say Tucker is helping out Iran, but this clip, I don't see point of it.
- [109:31]
Rob Schneider
Can I just jump a question? Can I just jump in?
- [109:33]
Adam
Let me ask Pat, why would they show anything of Tucker?
- [109:36]
Pat
So what? Let me ask a question. All of a sudden they show a clip of PBD podcast in Russia. What does that mean exactly? If all of a sudden they show a clip of us in Israel, what does that mean? So imagine somebody comes up.
- [109:50]
Adam
Sure.
- [109:50]
Pat
You know, the Israeli TV is showing PVD pie. We always knew they were bots pump to break that.
- [109:55]
Adam
Can I give you one count argument.
- [109:57]
Rob Schneider
And then you can go, no, no, no.
- [109:58]
Adam
Can I give one? Rob Schneider.
- [110:00]
Rob Schneider
No, Adam, can I give one.
- [110:01]
Vinnie
I'm gonna jump and I'll come.
- [110:06]
Rob Schneider
I know because. Because what you have is you've already made your conclusions and you're not listening to any evidence. And that. That's ignorant.
- [110:12]
Adam
You haven't.
- [110:12]
Rob Schneider
No, that is absolutely shred of evidence.
- [110:15]
Adam
Other than you're friends with Tucker.
- [110:16]
Rob Schneider
I am friends with Tucker, but I'm also. That has nothing to do with it. I'm also a logical, rational person. And you are not being logical, otherwise you wouldn argument.
- [110:26]
Pat
Would you have thoughts?
- [110:27]
Rob Schneider
The thought is simply this, Adam, you have to look at the totality of what somebody's contribution as a journalist. And yes, I would have asked different questions and pbd, you absolutely would have been able to ask more pertinent questions that I think would have been helpful in that conversation. And I was disappointed. But you have to look at the totality, the totality of Tucker Carlson that he has made, I would say the United States and the world a freer place because of his journalism. Is it perfect? Is anybody's perfect? And I think like in that particular situation, it wasn't. And I would say corrupt in the sense of. As if something was underneath of it that wasn't as good as it could be. Just like a corrupt, you know, if you're making a building and then the beams aren't right, there's something wrong in that conversation. But whatever. The totality of Tucker Carlson is undeniably that he's made journalism a better place. Is it perfect? No, but is it, Is it proof that he's being used by the somebody on the team of the, of the ignorant team of Khomeini's Internet group? Is that proof of anything? Absolutely not.
- [111:34]
Adam
The problem is you just walked into my trap.
- [111:36]
Rob Schneider
Oh, here it comes.
- [111:36]
Adam
Because here it is. Who did you just call out at? In an amazing, incredible way at Turning Point usa. What was her name? Candace Owens. Now, the totality of her contribution to society has been incredible.
- [111:53]
Rob Schneider
I don't think so.
- [111:54]
Adam
However, the last year or two, she's been a destructive force. And that's exactly what Tucker Carlson has done. I'm not talking about.
- [112:02]
Rob Schneider
Give me the.
- [112:03]
Adam
During 9, 11. I'm not saying what he said during COVID I'm saying in the last year, Tucker Carlson, much like Candace, has taken a weird turn where you become anti American, anti truth and anti normal American thoughts.
- [112:20]
Rob Schneider
All right, so those, those are.
- [112:22]
Adam
If you're gonna call out Candace, how do you not feel like calling out Tucker?
- [112:26]
Rob Schneider
Because they're doing the exact same thing. The four actors.
- [112:29]
Adam
Show me the difference between Tucker and Candace.
- [112:30]
Rob Schneider
The last and the last few accusations. The four, the last four accusations that you made in a row after making a decent argument about saying that it shifted. Yes, there are shifts that's happening, but you can't jump to a conclusion that he's anti American. I think what you have.
- [112:45]
Adam
I didn't say that he's anti American.
- [112:46]
Rob Schneider
You did. You just said. Let's go back and listen to it. I'm saying you said he was anti American. You just said it.
- [112:51]
Adam
You just said.
- [112:52]
Rob Schneider
You just said the reason I said.
- [112:53]
Adam
That is because he said I bought a house in Qatar because I'm American. If you want to be pro American, go buy a house in Detroit.
- [113:03]
Rob Schneider
That's a silly argument.
- [113:04]
Adam
Are we saying that Tucker Carlson hasn't making a drastic turn over the last 12 months where average people are like, what?
- [113:12]
Pat
Wait a minute. I say he has.
- [113:13]
Vinnie
Okay, that's my point.
- [113:14]
Pat
No, but that is my point. That's not. But, but these are. Okay, we, we can say, yes, he has. There are concerns. Why is he defending Islam, Muslims and the Middle east, as hardcore as he is? Yeah, valid.
- [113:28]
Rob Schneider
That's a valid question.
- [113:29]
Pat
That's my other part here. We have to be very careful. If all of a sudden somebody plays a clip in Russia, in Israel, in Iran, in any of the countries that are enemies and they show a clip of you, what are they going to say? Are they going to say, wait a minute, we always knew. No, no, no, pump the brakes.
- [113:49]
Rob Schneider
I just say for me, show it of you, Adam. I'm going to go, yes, clip.
- [113:52]
Adam
Just like Anna Paulina.
- [113:53]
Rob Schneider
Anna.
- [113:54]
Adam
We all said, guys, I was taken out of context. We all defended her without even knowing.
- [113:59]
Rob Schneider
Normal people. We're normal people.
- [114:01]
Adam
Defend Tucker because he's done 100.
- [114:03]
Pat
All right. Let's go to the next story. Let's go to next story. Let's go to the next story.
- [114:06]
Rob Schneider
Don't agree.
- [114:07]
Pat
Let's go to the next story. Tom, what story do you want me to go to? That you have a lot of stuff on. Do you want me to go to California to fire? Is that what you want to do? Let's go to that. Let's go to la. Mayor Bass brushes off Palisades fire protest claims. Locals are profiting. And Rob, I think you got a clip on this one as well. So if we go to this page.
- [114:27]
Rob Schneider
9, how does she not get recalled by now? How does that not happen?
- [114:32]
Pat
Let me have her explain it to you. Go ahead.
- [114:33]
Rob Schneider
Rob, one year after the fires, are you surprised that so much of that anger is directed at you?
- [114:39]
Pat
A little.
- [114:40]
Rob Schneider
But again, I do understand the anger. If they need to focus them on.
- [114:44]
Pat
Me, you know, whatever.
- [114:46]
Rob Schneider
Whatever takes them to heal and get through this.
- [114:49]
Pat
I don't take it personal.
- [114:50]
Rob Schneider
Do you think a reason for that anger is misinformation and people are looking.
- [114:54]
Tom
For someone to blame?
- [114:55]
Rob Schneider
Well, I do have to tell you that there's a part of it, and.
- [114:58]
Pat
This is the part that troubles me the most, is that there are people.
- [115:03]
Rob Schneider
Who have preyed upon people's grief, who.
- [115:06]
Pat
Are financially benefiting from people's grief.
- [115:09]
Rob Schneider
And to deliberately put out misinformation like nobody's rebuilding. Permits aren't being given.
- [115:15]
Pat
There are challenges, absolutely, but there is progress being made.
- [115:19]
Rob Schneider
There's a rally being held tomorrow called they Let us Burn. Is that how people should be commemorating this one year anniversary?
- [115:26]
Pat
Well.
- [115:27]
Rob Schneider
Well, I don't think so.
- [115:28]
Pat
Again, I think that there are people that are profiting off of this. And that is what I find very despicable. Intentionally putting out misinformation, intentionally profiting from social media, book deals, et cetera. And I think that that's unfortunate to me.
- [115:44]
Rob Schneider
I hope that it's about healing and.
- [115:46]
Pat
Moving forward and getting this community back back.
- [115:48]
Rob Schneider
Every single Palisadian that wants to come back, that should be the focus. You have people who continue to tell me every single time I'm here, this should have never happened.
- [115:59]
Tom
Should this have ever happened?
- [116:01]
Rob Schneider
Of course it should have never happened. But I do think that something that.
- [116:05]
Pat
We'Re all coming to grips with in our. In our world, but certainly within our city, weather events that we would have never thought would have taken place, it's the weather's fault. Yeah. Okay, you can pause it right there. Tom. Thoughts. Go for it.
- [116:20]
Rob Schneider
She is the most important, Rob.
- [116:22]
Pat
I'll Come to you.
- [116:22]
Tom
So this is the. What's despicable is that Karen Bass is trying to politically profit from spin. She's turning it into we need to heal and move forward. That means your point doesn't matter. We need to heal and move forward. Don't look over here. Well, I'll tell you what, not to look at the fire chief and the mayor. She laid off the fire chief, she censured the fire chief, then the fire chief left. Now they're in court, and that fire chief is probably going to win. The last two articles I saw, Pat is the fire chief. The legal analysts that were out there in the liberal media were saying, if this goes to court, Karen Bass and people are going to have to turn over all kinds of text records, everything that was going on on this, including the report that Kristen Cowley said that she had published about readiness. So I think it's despicable that Karen Bass stands there and talks about healing and moving forward. How about accelerated permitting? How about intervening with some of the insurance claims? How about supporting what's going on there to help people who had homes and were paying taxes, property tax, that part of LA get their house back without being interfered? How about pushing back on the Coastal Commission in Malibu? That is not allowing people to build certain things because the Greens want the houses to be back there at all. And so are using the Coastal Commission to say, oh, we're just going to have the beautiful ocean, all these rich celebrities and other people, they don't get their homes back, but we get our coastline back. Karen Bass is trying to profit politically by spinning this into being everything that it's not. And meanwhile, the taxpayers of the city of LA are going to write a check to Kristen Crowley because Karen Bass does not want that court case to go. That's my opinion. That's what legal analysts are saying, is that they're going to write that ex fire chief a check because it was mishandled and they besmirched her reputation. And for her to stand there like that, when I saw that, at first thing, I thought it was like a staged interview. Oh, here we go. She's going to stand there and get softballs from the reporter. But the reporter, you know, God bless him, tried to push it and she just look at the direction she spun it. There was no accountability, no leadership. As an ex resident of la, this disgusts me because there's people I know, we know a guy named John that we were friendly with that had a place in Palisades that is up there a Great guy. Part of a large business, mentor organization. He's not. Everybody has talked about these things. These were good citizens that are being screwed. And she's not taking leadership to stand up.
- [119:11]
Pat
John lived in Palisades. John. Em.
- [119:14]
Tom
Yes, sir.
- [119:15]
Pat
Wow. I didn't know that.
- [119:16]
Tom
They're down, they're down, they're down. North San Diego.
- [119:21]
Pat
Okay. Rob, what do you think about this?
- [119:23]
Rob Schneider
Well, one of my friends who still writes for the Simpsons, he lost his house. And it's devastating. And you have. When you see Karen Bass and you hear her talk, it almost reminds me of something like that Iraqi spokesman during the. During Saddam Hussein. Remember him? What was his name? Iraqi Pete or something Iraqi. What was his name? Iraqi Bob. So. And it just. You don't believe a thing that they said?
- [119:50]
Vinnie
No, we will be the biggest.
- [119:52]
Rob Schneider
We will conquer the Americans any day. It's just nothing but burn the Great.
- [119:57]
Tom
Satan to the ground.
- [119:58]
Rob Schneider
What is it about the Democrats in Los Angeles and California in general that have this Hitler in the bunker mentality where they'll go down with the ship? You know, they just. How does this person. I remember the city council kicking out somebody in the town that I grew up in for trying to raise taxes for 10 bucks. This is somebody that had all their houses burned down in this city of Palisades. And how do you not get rid of the mayor? At what point? You know, I remember I said years ago, it was a Jamie Lisso joke, which is like the, you know, Californians would vote for a bowl of shit if it had a D next to it.
- [120:36]
Adam
Yep.
- [120:37]
Rob Schneider
It's like there's just. They're just. It's a group mentality. It's a. That is. You know, they just paint the other side as so evil that they'll stick with somebody who destroyed their community and.
- [120:49]
Tom
Don'T step out of line, otherwise they'll come after you.
- [120:52]
Rob Schneider
Yeah, it's. It's something out of the Khmer Rouge. I mean, it really is. To hear her, you really hear a communist, and she is. You really hear this communist group think that they never take any personal responsibility for anything. The fact that she was not there, that she was in Africa at a wedding to be cool, knowing that the winds were coming. And I just don't see California climbing out of this because I think they have that bunker mentality. And if you give enough stuff away to people and you give them enough free stuff, they'll keep voting for the Democrats. And that's the plan the whole time. And it's not going to change. I don't think in our lifetime I don't see it change and I want it to.

Pat
Let me go to the next story. Gavin Newsom confronts $18 billion budget disaster he helped create. This is a New York Post story. After years of surplus, the Golden State is facing staggering deficits that could be ballooned up to $35 billion in coming years, according to the state's legislative after years long spending spree. Newsom, who's expected to launch the 2028 presidential but unveils his plan to stanch the bleeding in a major speech Thursday. In it, he'll posture as presidential while aiming to reassure cash strapped Californians that he's leaving the state in tip top shape in his final year in office. Critics doubt it will be enough. Governor Newsom speech will highlight a lot of claimed wins, but Californians see the lack of results every day, said Senate Republican leader Brian Jones of San Diego in a statement. Year after year he is policies have pushed opportunity out of the state while driving the cost of living to ever new heights for working families. Only about four years ago California had flush with cash, was flush with cash with a jaw dropping surplus of $100 billion thanks to a rock Rocklink stock market and Covid era cash infusions from the federal government. Since then, revenues driven by capital gains taxes on rich shrunk as the economy took a nosedive. Tom, your thoughts?
- [122:51]
Tom
I'll tell you so you're destined to take these last two stories and just get my blood pressure up to the temperature in Death Valley. But I'll tell you what's going on with Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom wants to stay relevant, wants to stay in the headlines and wants to keep acting presidential and appearing presidential. But you know what you need? You need a platform and a record and the record here is pretty gruesome. The numbers are coming out and people are starting to wake up and you're.
- [123:21]
Rob Schneider
Seeing.
- [123:23]
Tom
Folks start to pre cover stories. This story could have been re headlined. Can you believe what this guy is going to say tomorrow? And this is not coming from hard conservative sources. His speech is going to highlight claimed wins. We did this, we did this, we did this. So he's going to put the spin on the wins and I hope people look underneath and see what's really going on there. And he is along with Ro Khanna saying oh no, no no, it's the service union that is bringing the ballot initiative for the billionaire tax. Baloney. They're doing it but you got your fingerprints on it. And this is Gavin Newsom. He's Going to come out, try to look presidential, take credit for things. But I hope the people of California look to the numbers and you don't have to look deeply and ask yourself a question, is this what you want? Because you have an opportunity to elect a new governor. But the rest of America needs to wake up and understand that if this guy can't run the sixth largest country in the world, then how the hell is he going to run the largest country in the world?
- [124:23]
Pat
Apparently it's the fifth now, Adam.
- [124:25]
Adam
Yeah, well I don't care about California at all. I've made that very clear. But I do love the United States of America and I care about the United States of America in my opinion. And I don't mean this literally. Burn it down and start over in California. Because there's nothing good coming out of California. You lived in California 20 years. You were there for a decade. You were there for over a decade. You spent a lot of time, most.
- [124:47]
Rob Schneider
Of my life there.
- [124:48]
Adam
I don't care about California. I literally like don't think that any California Democrat should ever see the White House. That could be judgment day for America. Much like Karen Basswood's judgment day for the Pacific Palisades. Well, in California, to me, elections have consequences. I don't care what happens in California. Burn it down and start over. Not literally, but I'll be damned if I ever see someone like Gavin Newsom in the White House.
- [125:18]
Pat
Hell.
- [125:18]
Vinnie
But the scary but the scariest part about Adam, what you're saying is on Cal, she who's number one? Robert, who's number one?
- [125:26]
Pat
I'm sorry, I mean G. By a mile.
- [125:28]
Vinnie
By a mile. So what? And this is where bro, I'm talking.
- [125:32]
Adam
Talking about this is three years from an election. Just like Scott Walker was number one or Jeff Bush was number one.
- [125:39]
Vinnie
Hold on one second.
- [125:39]
Adam
Literally whoever's number one never finishes number one.
- [125:42]
Vinnie
But let me ask you a question.
- [125:43]
Adam
But I hear you.
- [125:43]
Vinnie
Who do you think? Because real quick because I want to get to where you're talking about. Because you're talking about Adam. Evil and biblical which I love that you went there. Cuz it could be the end. Gavin Newsom's at 35%. Who else? Who else? Even like, like a late blooming. Who's going to challenge him?
- [125:57]
Adam
We'll see.
- [125:58]
Vinnie
He's the guy with the hair. He's the guy with the suit.
- [126:00]
Adam
Primary fat guy from.
- [126:01]
Rob Schneider
The fat guy from Illinois.
- [126:03]
Adam
You never.
- [126:04]
Pat
God.
- [126:04]
Vinnie
God help us. But. And rob guys, Trump was at 1%.
- [126:09]
Adam
By the time there were primaries. And then he took down everybody one by one by one. I think America is smarter than falling for Gavin.
- [126:17]
Vinnie
Adam Tricks.
- [126:18]
Pat
Adam, really?
- [126:18]
Vinnie
They fell for Russia collusion. They fell for Biden, not Biden was in charge.
- [126:22]
Rob Schneider
But you're here.
- [126:23]
Vinnie
They fell for Kamala. Give me like I'm telling you right now. But this is what. When I talk about, bro. The opposite of what we are. There is like and then there is dark. This party has been captured by darkness. And if you can't see, I'm not saying you. I'm saying the people in general. I have family members. I have people that are. They're just so far gone. And Rob made a great point. They can't. It's going down with the sinking ship. Because you know what? They don't want to say, you guys were right, we're wrong, they have lost the plot.
- [126:51]
Rob Schneider
It's gonna happen. Well, here's. Let's. Can I just jump in for one second? If you take a look at historically, the last time there were three non consecutive administrations, you're gonna go Nixon, Ford, Carter, and then you had two Reagan's and one Bush. I think what you have now since we have a Trump, Biden, Trump. If you look at historically, odds seem to be patterns that happen. And I think you're gonna have that one Trump and then two Vances or whoever wins that or Ruby, I mean, they'll be great. And I think that whoever runs is gonna be a sacrificial lamb of the Democratic party. I'm hopeful because I just don't see it happening in any way, shape or form, I think. But you have to care about California for no other reason than this, the electoral college votes. I mean, it is unbelievable.
- [127:43]
Adam
What do you mean? Do you think that's ever gonna go red?
- [127:45]
Rob Schneider
No, but that's why I think at a certain. I think that's why you need to be concerned about it because you know how tough it is. You guys know how tough it is for a Republican to win. He's got to like it was a. A minor miracle. I think it was the hand of God that helped. You know, every swing state and everything we just happened to have. We had Charlie Kirk helping with kids, God rest his soul. 22.5% jump with young voters. That's amazing. We got Hispanics, we got Hispanic men, black men. You know, we're never gonna. White women, we're never gonna get. But we did get, you know, a resounding victory, which, which is great. And we have to continue this because I do think it is a threat against Western civilization. And I think whether the Democrats realize it or not, I think that they are unfortunately playing into the hands of socialism. And they make the mistake of thinking that they want a one world government. And they make the mistake of thinking they're gonna be in charge of it. It's not. It's gonna be China. We're gonna be some weird, small, slightly freer social credit system, in my opinion.
- [128:43]
Adam
Well, I don't not care about the people of California. I love the people of California. I have friends in California. I'm staying the state legislator. And whatever's happening there, I have no love for. You know, they say if, like if there's going to be a plane crash, put your mask on first. Then the people, the person next to you, then to me. California is so far gone that the last thing I'm interested is putting a face mask on the people in California. Good luck. You guys figure it out. You vote for this. Keep doubling down on everybody else.
- [129:13]
Rob Schneider
Can I ask about the mask? Everybody put your mask on first.
- [129:15]
Adam
Oxygen.
- [129:16]
Vinnie
How off?
- [129:16]
Rob Schneider
How often does the oxygen mask come down? A plane? Have you ever been on a plane?
- [129:20]
Adam
Have you ever flown private with us?
- [129:22]
Rob Schneider
Have you ever been on an oxygen mask? I'm not serious.
- [129:24]
Adam
No, thank God.
- [129:25]
Rob Schneider
Okay, but let me tell you that. Yeah, but they should. What happens more often? What happens more often than the oxygen mask? There's turbulence, right? You've been on turbulence?
- [129:31]
Adam
Yes.
- [129:31]
Rob Schneider
And if you have a baby, don't you tighten the baby's belt before your own? So I, I always find that.
- [129:36]
Adam
Why is there a baby in a seat belt?
- [129:37]
Rob Schneider
No, I'm saying because the idea is before you help your, the, the, your child, help put your mask on first. I would say that that's, that's not a very valid thing and everybody keeps using that. And I would just say the real thing is that there's turbulence and if there's turbulence, you help your kid first. Unless you're a heathen. If there's. So I would just say that's, that's just a false.
- [129:56]
Pat
Out of all the things Rob gets pissed off. He's like, you know what? I'm sick and tired.
- [130:00]
Vinnie
First put your.
- [130:02]
Pat
Before you kid you.
- [130:03]
Rob Schneider
No, I'm just saying. Cuz I hear that so many times and I just. That can somebody poke a hole in it for once?
- [130:09]
Adam
I just want to let you know.
- [130:10]
Pat
If I was sitting next argument on a plane, I'd put my mask on first. Brilliant. Then I'd have argument. Oh my God. That was a great argument. Life changing all this time. Okay, so let's talk about some of these billionaires that are leaving.
- [130:21]
Rob Schneider
Who's leaving?
- [130:22]
Pat
I'm going to tell you, Larry Page, Google, they're leaving. They just leave.
- [130:25]
Rob Schneider
For sure.
- [130:25]
Pat
They bought, they just bought two houses next to each other. Miami, Miami home $173.4 billion million dollars two bedroom garage, shared garage. Let me read both and I'm coming to you to by the way, that's the place that they picked up these guys. It's a nice little two bedroom condo, 473 million. It's a joke, by the way. It's a joke. But they are leaving. So billionaire makes strategic moves out of California ahead of proposed wealth taxes now this is something we talked to last week with Chamat and some of the other guys, but what is the wealth tie ticks on California's billionaire facing a proposed wealth tax Some of America's top business leaders are making strategic moves to leave the Golden State. Larry Page appears to be distancing himself from California as a public filing reviewed by Fox News Digital from the California Secretary of State office shows several business entities linked to Page were moved out of the state in December ahead of January 1, 2026 residency they tied to the proposed tax. I'm sure you're going to get into that. Tom Oracle founder Larry Ellison has taken some steps that signal a potential pullback from California through details. Though details of a reported $45 million off market sale of a San Francisco home have not been independently confirmed by major outlets. Tom, this 5% tax bill to billionaires starting January 1, 2026, how much can you tell about it? What's the latest on this?
- [131:57]
Tom
So let's first recap. If you haven't been paying, if you haven't heard the podcast recently, the origin of it is seiu, which is one of the largest bluest service employee unions in the world. Very big in California. Very, very big in Nevada where everybody that works for hotels is part of it. This is the group that is putting the billionaire tax on as a ballot initiative. Now the politicians are supporting this because that way it's not on them. Oh, it's a ballot initiative being brought by voters. Voters just like you workers. So point one, it's a ballot initiative being brought this way. Point two, that ballot initiative isn't going to be voted till later this year. But everybody is trying to get out now. Now why are they getting out? Because they believe it's going to pass. Because like if no one knows anything about Proposition 13, which was a property tax initiative that Goes back to the 70s, 78, that 1978. Thank you. That has regulated property tax for the older people that never sold their home so that their property taxes don't go up. So ballot initiatives in California have teeth, Larry Page. And people are handicapping Pat the odds of this going down. And everybody believes that the ballot initiative is going to pass and pass big because California is so blue they've got the union behind it. They need several hundred thousand votes to get it finished on the ballot. SEIU is going to get is going to help it done. And guess what Larry Page is doing. These people say, oh, they're not really moving. They're just buying homes in Florida and they're going to live 189 days in Florida. Well, wait a minute, Larry Page. I don't care about his $173 million property purchase in Miami. A lot of people can do that and they have second and third homes in Aspen and, you know, in Montana and places. But he also moved Coop. Coop is his family office. Billions and billions of dollars. He has moved the registration for Coop K O O P to Florida along with his flying car initiative. And he has an influenza research company that he's moved. So this doesn't look like a guy just buying a house in Miami.
- [134:20]
Pat
Path.
- [134:21]
Tom
Yeah, this is a guy leaves. This ballot initiative is going to pass and he has pulled up stakes and he is moved.
- [134:29]
Rob Schneider
Well, it's not legal, it's not constitutional. You can't tax. I just don't think that'll hold up. They tried to do that, a separate tax for people in Arizona making over $250,000 a year and that. And it did pass because you know, who wouldn't vote for that if you're making under that. So the Democrats of course will push that through. And that was also funded $25 million by the teachers union. That and it did pass, but it got kicked out by the Supreme Court level. So I just don't know. You know, somebody has to look up the constitution, the state constitution and see if you could tax people separately or unevenly. So I just don't think that that's. But I wouldn't put it past that. It'll pass, but I just don't know if it'll hold muster. But who would want to take the chance?
- [135:15]
Tom
Well, thank you for bringing that up. The legal procedure would be that you could contest it, but it's called concurrence in California if it's a ballot initiative that is deemed to be constitutional by at least one judge and this would be the ninth circus. And you know what that means. The ninth Circuit, also known as the ninth circus. And they say it appears to be constitutional to us. It would get implemented and they could start collecting the tax and then everyone has to fight it. And if they win it and overthrow it, then the state can appeal it. Then you gotta wait for the Supreme Court and then you gotta ask yourself a question. If it all comes down, what are the odds that California gives you your money back? So the billionaires are handicapping that and saying, my lawyer may tell me, well, you know, this doesn't have to happen. But Pat, if your lawyer said, you know, option one, Pat, you can move to Florida, or option two, you're probably gonna win. But it could take eight years, it'll be really bloody and you're going to have to pay the tax on day one. You would look at it and go, wait a minute, maybe I just move and then let this thing play out.
- [136:22]
Rob Schneider
That makes sense.
- [136:23]
Pat
Who the hell is going to risk that?
- [136:24]
Adam
Yeah.
- [136:25]
Pat
Okay, look at this. Will California billionaire tax initiative pass? 49% are saying yes on Kalshi. Wow, 49.
- [136:32]
Rob Schneider
That's just today.
- [136:33]
Tom
Wait till the summer. And by the way, political ads rev.
- [136:35]
Pat
Up, go to January 1st. First it went, it was at like 10%.
- [136:39]
Vinnie
It started going up on the.
- [136:40]
Pat
And then all of a sudden, boom, it got up to 49. So, Adam, you were going to say something?
- [136:48]
Adam
Yeah. If California doesn't want your billionaires, we'll take them here in Florida. Come on down to Miami. You know Mayor Francis Suarez put his name on the map. Shout out to him when Silicon Valley was asking what they could do, he says, how can I help? And now Miami is now the capital of capital. It's no secret if you just trust. What's this word? Data. Societies that attract and keep billionaires grow and societies that demonize billionaires will decline. What do billionaires bring to your society? Well, jobs, money, taxes, innovation, opportunity, long term thinking. California, if you don't want your billionaires, we'll gladly take them here in the 305. By the way, shout out to the Miami Hurricanes. Gonna be the national champions this year. Respect.
- [137:37]
Pat
It's gonna be good if it's gonna be Miami hurricanes. Indiana, let's do one last one and wrap up. So Trump says he's banning institutional. Rob, do you have that one? He is banning institutional. Let me go to this one. Institutional investment from scooping up single family homes.
- [137:52]
Rob Schneider
We've been talking about that for a while.
- [137:54]
Pat
This is big. If they pull the shop this is very good for middle America. For a very long time, buying and owning a home was considered the pinnacle of the American dream. It was reward for hard working, working hard and doing the right things. But now, because the record high inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress, the American dream is increasingly out of reach for far too many people, especially younger Americans. Trump wrote on Truth Social. Tom, thoughts on this?
- [138:21]
Tom
Well, he's calling on Congress to codify it. Mean, let's make a law, let's do this. I think this is, this is smart. A lot of people say, well, wait a minute, wait a minute. Now he's interfering with this. Real estate's just an asset class. Banks want to buy asset classes. Well, hang on. When you're talking about the power of America, which is its citizens, and you're talking about that, we've had a situation where, you know, building has been kind of flatlined. I don't think we're going to have more than 4 million transactions for 2026. After 4 million last year and the housing starts are low. I think this is smart saying, wait a minute, you know, I don't think it's a good idea that that large banking or private equity simply buy up an asset class like this and rent it back to the American worker when there's a bigger thing here. And the bigger thing is that that home equity had been a key part of people's savings, which impacts their retirement. So this is also the federal government stepping in. Who needs to be paying for Social Security, which is probably going to get cut, ladies and gentlemen. And stopping this will stop the shortage. Part of the shortage, Pat, will stop because when these houses get bought up, up, there's fewer houses for people to buy. And so the price of those houses that are available to general public is pushed up additionally by the, all that printing of money.
- [139:52]
Pat
Rob.
- [139:53]
Tom
But I think this is a good thing.
- [139:54]
Rob Schneider
You have BlackRock. You're talking $5 trillion. You're talking BlackRock owns most of the pharmaceutical industry, if not most of the Dow Jones. If you're thinking about tech stocks and you think about this blackrock, State street in Vanguard, that is more powerful. That is a real unelected group that can force policy. It can affect the economy and is, I mean, if you take that $5 trillion, the buying potential of that, what they've done to single family homes, I would just say to you this. When was the last time you washed your rental car? You don't do it, you don't own it, you don't give A shit about it. But, but kids, how do we expect these young Americans to care about the American dream if they're not given a piece of it, if they don't have the opportunity to earn a piece of it? So we have to do that. When you have BlackRock that will buy a home in a neighborhood for $300,000 and sell it to themselves for 700,000, they're artificially causing inflation and making the house purchases unbuyable for the average young person. I'm talking 30 and under and in their 30s, for crying out loud, who are still living with their parents. They also are getting tax credits for buying for this purchase and they're getting loans for exceedingly, you know, a better deal than the young people can. So we need to have some regulation. And that's why the president, you know, does not traditionally like to get involved with regulation. But in this situation, it has to happen because I believe there's a monopoly going in place. And if you think, you know, if the government thought that, you know, Ma Bell back at the time and long distance phone companies were becoming a monopoly, certainly, and that was worthy of being broken up. Certainly. The idea of one big company like BlackRock buying up single family homes in the hundreds of thousands is a monopoly and that needs to be taken care of. And Robert Kennedy and I talked about that a year ago and thankfully President Trump is doing another something great to help the American people.
- [142:00]
Pat
I, I agree. I would tell you that this, this means they are paying attention to the affordability crisis that's taking place. And that's great. So, so to people that are 18 to 29 years old, 18 to 30 years old, this is directed to you and this is very good news for you because we want the youngins to get married, to have kids, to buy a house, to have their dreams become a reality. The more anytime you build a company, when we build the insurance company, at the beginning I told my guys, I said, listen, the previous company lost a lot of people. Why? Because the comp benefited the guys at the top once the comp benefited everybody. And the newest guy can win. You'll continue winning. We have to make sure the comp benefits. Right now the newer people that are coming up as well, 18 to 29, and if we can do that, affordability can be fixed. I think midterms will be scored away. But if they don't figure this out by around July, August, it's going to be a very, very deadly midterms that they'll have.
- [143:03]
Rob Schneider
I don't forget.
- [143:04]
Adam
Yeah, well, this comes down to affordability. You know, I applaud President Trump for making housing affordable. You know how I feel about buying a house and renting. Part of the reason that I've been such an advocate for not buying a house house is because it's been completely unaffordable. How could the average 25 year old, 30 year old, 40 year old buy a house when you're competing with BlackRock for that specific house? So I'm all for people getting married, I'm all for people getting a house, but not if it's going to drive you into debt. So to me, if you can't afford a house, stop complaining about it. Rent, save that money, invest in other appreciating assets, right? Until then, what? Stop complaining. And what's the definition of crazy? Doing the same thing over and over again, Complaining until housing is affordable. It's almost irrelevant.
- [143:52]
Rob Schneider
But if you want to buy a house but you can't afford it, you can't afford it. But it's, it's not because of its market forces. It's falsely inflated market forces that are preventing it.
- [144:01]
Adam
Whatever the reason is, you can't afford it.
- [144:03]
Rob Schneider
No, no, but, but I'm saying is.
- [144:05]
Adam
That there's, that's like saying, hey, I want to be on snl. It's like, well, you're not funny.
- [144:08]
Rob Schneider
Well, there's an article.
- [144:09]
Adam
Okay, you are funny. But, but you're not living in New York.
- [144:12]
Pat
Let me.
- [144:12]
Adam
You're living in a wrong.
- [144:13]
Vinnie
Different.
- [144:13]
Rob Schneider
There's an artificial but. There's an but you're. But this artificially saying that like the people auditioning for Saturday Night Live, we're not going to pick any of those people we already pre picked. That's the same thing BlackRock's doing now is that they're artificially raising the prices of homes and making it unaffordable and they're buying too many and forcing people to become renters so they can't even rent because they're literally, they'll buy 30,000 homes. So what the president is doing is. And it has to be done through, you know, codified through Congress, but he is going to limit. It has to be done in two ways. The ability to buy a massive amount and they shouldn't be able to speculate on that. And so they just, you just, you have to. But the legislation is going to be critical. And Tom, you'll know that the legislation has to be critical so that it doesn't have loopholes in it that they continue. So this isn't just Something, something it has to be able to help. And, and, and what's going to help right away is to take away any tax credits that that BlackRock currently receives for buying homes. So that has to be.
- [145:12]
Adam
So let me ask you one question because I agree with you.
- [145:14]
Pat
We gotta wrap up.
- [145:14]
Adam
If you want to buy a house, should you buy it before or after regulation sets place.
- [145:21]
Rob Schneider
You have to buy it when you can afford it. And, and in any particular place. And, and this, this regulation though should be able to stabilize the house prices if not lower them. And we'll see. I mean I'm hopeful but it's not.
- [145:33]
Adam
Going to happen overnight though.
