Having said that, let's get right into it.News Nation, Chris Cuomo had a town hall.
On that town hall, they have Mark Cuban, they had Stephen A. Smith, they had Bill O'Reilly, Dana White tuned in, Zoom, they had a bunch of different guys, and one of the comments Mark Cuban made, and I wanna get right into it, Mark Cuban on that, Rob, I don't know if Vinny sent it to you or not, if you haven't sent it to him, if you can text it to him, Mark Cuban, I believe, makes a comment about the fact that Trump doesn't have any strong women around him.
What do you mean?It's just if you notice, Trump doesn't have any strong women.So many people reacted to it to the point where the view came out.And you know what?That's the one Rob.You know what the view said?
The view came out and said, how about Stormy Daniels?
She's strong.Is this the one Rob?Yep.I believe so.Okay.So maybe he was on the view.Then he went on the news nation one, but Rob, he's on the view saying to women that Trump doesn't have any strong women around him.Go and play this clip.
Yeah, I mean, yes, it'll put her over the edge with Nikki Haley supporters.Yeah, I mean, yes, it'll put her over the edge with Nikki Haley supporters.Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women ever. It's just that simple.
They're intimidating to him.He doesn't like to be challenged by them.And, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women.I mean, he just can't have her around.
It wouldn't work.I think Stormy is intelligent.I don't think that's 100 percent.He's very smart.
Stormy.He means is like he's on stage.
Well, I think Mark Cuban needs to think before opening his mouth because he's being so spontaneous with stuff.I really think he's not thinking over.He's not a dumb guy, but Kellyanne Conway on staff. That's a pretty strong woman.
Tulsi Gabbard has been with the campaign for weeks now, campaigning with them.That's a pretty strong woman.I don't know what Mark was trying to accomplish with this comment.
Maybe he's trying to audition to put on the Rachel Maddow glasses and maybe be the permanent host of The View. But I just find this to be, I mean, what's points he's trying to make?
One week, Mark says things like, and Mark, if you're watching, I got a lot of respect for you as an NBA owner and the stuff you've accomplished in business.But one week you're saying, oh, let's talk about policies.Let's not just do this and this.
And the next week, you're making comments like this that are completely away from policy at a time where you're insulting half of the voting block. And you're getting into things like you got to pay attention to the people that are around Trump.
I don't, I don't know what you're trying to accomplish.And I think you're being spontaneous.I don't think you really engaged on that because we could make a list of people that have been advisors and on cabinet positions and things like that.
I can just think of one that's been around our world with Trump and that's Alina Haba, his attorney who's been around us and she is, strong, capable, classy, all the above.So I think.
If I'm up at Creek, Alina's my first call, man.She's awesome.She's a tough attorney.
Siggy Flicker, who was there, uh, the real housewife that threw the event we were at.But I think it's a little rich for Mark, who I think dealt with a lot of issues within the Dallas Mavericks.Some, some me too movement stuff going on there.
I'm not sure exactly what happened, but.
A general manager censored by the NBA.Yeah, maybe.
So he who has not sinned, may they cast the first stone.
Or if you live in a glass house.So here's Mark Cuban donating $10 million to charity after NBA fund workplace misconduct six years ago.Go ahead and go down, Rob.
NBA has reported a complete investigation of Dallas Mavericks on allegations of hostile working class, sexual harassment, domestic violence.
Mark Cuban will domain $10 million to organizations that promote women in leadership roles and combat domestic violence after the NBA found serious workplace conduct by former and current employees and improper on front.OK, great.No problem.
By the way, can you do me a favor, Rob?And go to the Guardian article that talks about for 75% of the time, the Dallas Mavericks have been the whitest team in the NBA.
If you go Mav's whitest team in the NBA, and remember, this is a Democrat, so it's not like he's a Republican and they're going after him.No, I went and interviewed him.
He only had pictures of Clintons on the wall, and I think he had pictures of two Democratic presidents on the wall.He didn't have pictures of anybody else.The Dallas Mavericks are consistently white in a black league.Why go a little low, Rob?
In 2020, the NBA was 74.2% black and 16.9% white.It seems every decade, the white NBA players become less relevant.Yet one franchise has kept, one franchise has often kept the dream of mediocre white guys alive, the Dallas Mavericks.
In 15 of the last 21 seasons, there were three or more white players in the 12-man roster.In more than half of those 15 seasons, There were at least four white players, not to mention at least two starting white players.Now, here's the thing.
While he's going through these stories that they pop up, OK, while they're going through the Black Lives Matter, although the Mavericks have a dubious history of toxic workplace culture when it comes to female employees, Cuban has thrown his support behind who?
Black Lives Matter and has appointed who?Black CEO Cynthia Marshall. President, Turdem Ayusseri, Head Coach is Jason Kidavery-Johnson, General Manager Nico Herson during his lifetime in Dallas, right now the CEO of Dallas Mavericks.
Rob, if you can Google it, I believe it's Cynthia Marshall if he hasn't replaced them yet.So why am I showing this?I'm showing this because he was forced to make these hires.
After all the NBA realized for 15 out of 20 seasons, he had the whitest team So the guy that says he's for blacks in a league that's 70 plus percent black in a league that he is the whitest team owner for 20 plus years almost and Then gives 10 million because he's worried then he goes hire somebody out of fear black president Female just to pander to his audience mark.
There are certain topics.You don't have a lot of credibility speak on This is one of them speak on things you have credibility on This is how much credibility you have on this topic.
And when you talk about stuff like that, your history comes up and we have to talk about it.Vinny.
Eloquently put, Pat.That's all I'll say the least.Here's my thing.In Hollywood, stand-up and acting, when you get a publicist, they put you out there, Tom.They put you on red carpet events.
They put you where the camera's going to be, where you're out there and people are taking photos. What is Mark Cuban's goal?What publicity coming in this late and being everywhere?He's everywhere.He wants to talk.
Just doing the sticking up for Kamala Harris and Kamala Harris as a savior routine.I don't see that.The only thing I would see is what?Trying to get people from the Democratic Party in 2028 to kind of like him.
He has no idea what the hell he's talking about.And this is what this party is about, okay? Three days ago, Tim Walz called half of America Nazis, okay?Joe Biden, the other day, called us all garbage.And then this is the attitude.
No strong women around him.What about his ex?What about Ivana?What about Ivanka?What about, you mentioned Kelly, Kelly Canway, right?What about Kylie McEnany?What about Sarah Huckabee Sanders?This is just, he just needs to stop.
Like he just, nothing that he's saying is making sense.And I think we talked about it a couple of weeks ago.It was, hey, no attention is on me. All the billionaires are getting attention, but not me.So I'm going to say the most outlandish shit ever.
And I think that was, I'm happy that you put that up there.What?Because you're sex, you're accused of sexually harassing and being aggressive towards women.So you give $10 million to teach other people to learn how to be cool around women.
What happens to Mark next? When you take a stance like this, you have to live with the consequence.If you back up somebody, you do whatever.It's like in the NFL, there were people that backed up Ray Rice, and they were very, very upset.
And then they were embarrassed, and they even backed it up when the film came out in the elevator.And they had to say, you know what?I believe Ray, but you can't do that, Ray.And these are people that backed him up.
They got embarrassed, and they had to properly tell ESPN, you know, he's my friend.I believed him.I was supporting him.But that film is irrefutable.Where does Mark go after all this? You know, I don't want to say it, but I'm going to say it.
It's almost like, why is he doing this?Is he kind of being pushed to be like this super proxy, super supporter?And what does he do after it's done?Does he not know that 50 percent of the, as Michael Jordan said, Republicans buy sneakers, too?
I mean, he owns the Mavericks.He's got things going on.And although he sold some, made a lot of money, he still is the principal owner.He made sure of that in the transaction.So where do you go now?It's like he's impacting his own reputation here.
And it's kind of shocking to see, because he's not a dumb guy.He knows what she's standing for.I want to know what gun is to his head or what has got him so revved up that he thinks
it's time to go out we already know about that all I'm saying is in a situation like this where you're talking shit you're talking shit you're talking shit you're talking shit you're talking shit then you say something like this do you know what this does you know what this does here's what it does mark now Trump's gonna go on stage and he's gonna look at all the women
that are around him, and he's gonna say, you just called this person not strong, that person not strong, this person not strong, that person not, you just insulted every single woman who supports him.
I mean, this may be as worse as President calling people supporting Trump garbage.It may be that close.A comedian says, Puerto Rico, That's a comedian.The president says garbage, but Mark Cuban says he doesn't have any strong women.
If I was part of the marketing campaign behind closers, I'd sit there and say, guys, are you kidding me?Rally behind this whole thing.They don't respect you.
Anyways, by the way, as if that wasn't enough, this is our president, your president, if you live in America legally. And for some of you that live in America, he's still your president.Here's what he just had to say about half of America.
For Puerto Rico, where I'm in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people.The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.His demonization is seen as unconscionable, and it's un-American.
Thoughts on this, Tom, when you hear him calling folks garbage.
Well, this really disappointed me on a lot of levels because you don't, as a president of the United States, there's a line of dignity.You are the president of everyone, of we the people.
And to have the president make a comment like this crosses the line of the personal attacks back and forth against your opponent in the political arena.Now you're stepping over to call
53% of the people you govern, if the polls are correct, may be higher.Garbage.This is an embarrassment to the office of the presidency.You can't do that.
This is beyond the pale of even the smeared, ugly rules of political engagement during an election.
Pat, not surprised at all.And I just mentioned a little bit earlier, Tom, this is how they feel about us, plain and simple.It started with Hillary with her ignorant ass, we're deplorables comment.He thinks that we're garbage.
Mark Cuban thinks all these women around Trump are weak and stupid.And it's like, enough is enough.It's like, how much of this crap are we going to take that they keep talking to shit about us? You think Biden is just holding up on that?
Everything is coming up.All of his true colors are showing up.What happened yesterday, PBD?He's putting infants' toes and like... No, I'm not trying to be funny.
He shoved them, a stranger's kids, and they're offering his kids to him, in his mouth three times.He's biting another kid's... Is this the one you're talking about?Explain to me how this is normal.Go ahead.I don't care if he's the president.
What the?What is he doing?Two?He's deeply... Listen, let me... Bro, that...
It's almost as if his handlers are like, you know what, the election is in a couple days, just let him do whatever he wants to do because that's who he is, PBD, and going back to the garbage, this is what they think of us.
They actually think that we're stupid, they think we're trash, they think we're deplorables, and it's enough is enough.That whole rhetoric, Nazis, we're following Hitler, like enough is enough.When are we going to say, guys- What is this, Rob?
Whoopi Goldberg on The View, where she says that Hillary Clinton was right, that Trump supporters are deplorable.This is in response to the garbage comment.Play the clip.Double down.
There is a completely unfair standard with Donald Trump.No, I'm saying there's an unfair standard where his supporters have just decided it's baked in when he insults people, but they do take offense.Deplorables did matter.
That comment from Hillary Clinton did matter.But I would say that Joe Biden is still the president.I'd like him to be working on getting the hostage.
There you go.By the way, how did Karine Jean-Pierre handle this?And I'll come to you.What did she say?I'm curious to know how she maneuvered around this.Go ahead.
Just address the president's comments yesterday, referring to Trump supporter as garbage.
Couple of things.So just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage.The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
Which is why he put out, this is why he wanted to make sure that we put out a statement that clarified what he meant and what he was trying to say.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
And so just want to make that very clear for folks who are watching.And I just want to read that out to folks.
So he was regarding to the comedian, and I quote, I refer to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage. which is the only word I can think of to describe it.
His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.That's all I meant to say.The comments, the comments at the rally don't reflect who we are as a nation.
And to your question, your other question that you asked, no, he does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage.
That is not what he views.The candidate that Kamala should have chosen as a VP, Josh Shapiro.What does Josh Shapiro say about this, Rob? Do you have the clip of what Josh Shapiro said about this?While he's finding it, Adam, go ahead.
Sure.I mean, well, we hear so much talk about what's going to be the October surprise this time around.And we're how many days away from an election?Five days.And They were getting close to quote unquote, having an October surprise.
It did the Madison square garden, quote unquote Nazi rally, where we just happened to be thousands of blacks, Jews, Latinos, women.It's just almost farcical.And then this Tony Hinchcliffe guy who we know very well.
comes on stage, a comedian makes a joke, fell flat, all good.It's not like Trump said it, or even that Trump believes it.
And just when you're thinking maybe this Puerto Rican floating garbage thing could turn out to be an October surprise, there's Joe Biden, who they've been sort of hiding.He comes out and literally calls Trump supporters garbage.Clip that.
And it just has backfired dramatically.And here's someone like Josh Shapiro, who is a governor of a very purple state that can be flipped either way that has to govern the entire state.I'm assuming he's, I haven't seen this.
I'm assuming he says, I'm assuming he says something to the effect of, I can't really condone this.
Purple is right.Rob, we can't hear it right now.
I want you to listen to something that is making the rounds right now, certainly by the Trump campaign, by Senator J.D.Vance and others, what President Biden had to say about this tonight.
Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.His demonization is unconscionable and it's un-American.
Governor, first off, just what's your response to that comment from President Biden, where it sounds like he's calling Trump supporters there garbage?
Yeah, look, I had not heard that until now, Caitlin, so I'm gonna kind of give you my fresh reaction to it.I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans, even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn't support.
I want you to listen to why he was the best candidate for the left.If there was a primary, he and Newsom would have been left the two at the end to compete as a nominee and he would be formidable and they screwed up Tom.
And I'll give you my quick read here.This is CNN producer in Caitlyn's ear telling her to ask the question, and they are giving Shapiro the opportunity to look good.And you know what's going on here?
That, my friend, is one of CNN's first moves for 2028.There's no support for Biden.They brought up and actually ran the story. A year ago, they would have been ignoring the story of Biden.They would have given him a free pass.
They wouldn't have even covered it.Earlier this year, when they're getting ready to make the shift for Kamala, they would have lightly touched on it to support the shift.
I believe this, as you are seeing here, with this and other things on CNN, they are making Shapiro look good.And there's little opportunities that are happening here because they need a draft pick for 2028.
And everybody in that campaign knows that the fear that they have Remember, it was Hamas-Israel fear into intricacies of the positioning where they said, Hamas-Israel, too hot.Which way are we going?It doesn't matter.You can't go with Shapiro.
That was a mistake.It's like Bill Maher says all the time, you can hate on Trump, but you can't hate his supporters because there's 80 million plus of them. And, uh, they're going to backfire on you.
And that's why people, that's why we keep talking about who, who is the, the DNC's chief strategist and political, whatever they're doing with common, all this, they're horrible because you nailed it.
If they went with the Gavin and the Shapiro, that would be something that'd be an election.That'd be, I'd be fearful.Like, Oh crap.Gavin Newsom and Tom, honestly, Gavin Newsom and him PPD against Trump and JD Vance.That's a battle.That's a fight.
You know what I mean?Right now we're noticing Kamala's it's it's over.
Trump's camp would have said, no, we'd still beat him.That's what the position would be.Because J.D.'s really come up.I think J.D.is way better than Josh.I just think Josh is better than everybody else they got.
On the other side, that includes Newsom.Rob, so while this is going on, the president, who's one of the greatest marketers of all time, what does he do?Here's what he does.Go ahead, Rob.
How do you like my garbage truck?This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.
By the way, he's doing this.Then he goes and does this.Go ahead, Rob.Can you pause it, Rob?It's five minutes.We're not going to play it.
At the end, he says, they were telling me... Well, first play the first 30 seconds and we'll go to the last 30 seconds.
Go ahead, Rob.When he called us all garbage.How stupid.What a stupid word.That blows deplorable away, don't you think? Of course, I thought irredeemable when she said deplorable or irredeemable.
I thought irredeemable was actually worse, but deplorable seemed to catch up.But this garbage stuff blows, blows it away.So I'm in this beautiful plane.I'm enjoying myself.Have a wonderful suit on.Hilarious.And one of my people came in and said, sir,
You know, the word garbage is the hottest thing right now.Out there.The hottest thing out there, sure. Would you like to drive a garbage truck?
Save up to 45% on select styles, plus a free professional measure right now at Blinds.com.Rules and restrictions may apply.
I love that smile.Now, we're about, you know, 30 minutes from landing.We had to do this pretty quick.I said, sort of cool, though, isn't it?Because, you know, and I said, you know, I think that's OK.
But, you know, I don't feel comfortable wearing a suit. And they pulled up this garbage truck.I don't know how the hell they did it so fast.I have very capable people.
They put a big sign on the truck.Did you see?By the way, go to the last 30 seconds, Ron.He's surprised at his own campaign.Watch this.Watch this.This is why he wore it.
I don't know go back 15 seconds prior to that because he's gonna go keep going back back back back Okay, right there.Watch what happens.Here's why he wore it.
Go ahead one compliment He's just being so straight up and authentic if you can pull it off.Oh Man, you have to hear it.It's so funny.
So this is last 45 right there.
Go back there good There's no way I'm wearing it on stage they said oh, okay, sir, I said get me my jacket but if you watch this, you know
it actually makes you look thinner and they got me i said i want to wear it on stage see these are the moments it does make it less orange too
By the way, getting back to the other thing, isn't it interesting how our press secretary has become almost like a paid lobbyist, and it's like, KGP is now the liar-in-chief.But her expiration date is coming.Go get your book deal, sweetie.
Go work for a liberal media outlet, because that's the career path here. So she's not going to be going away.We're going to, we're going to see her.We can turn the channel, but that's where it's going to, where it's going to go.
And it's just the weak, the weakness.You don't even send the president to the microphone to repose his comments and to say, you know what?I shouldn't have said that.I should have said, I should have backed off.There's no humility there.
And this is why, said KJP lies for him.This is why Trump is such a great marketer because he knows his base.You know, one of the frames, uh, terms that they used for Trump was that he's the blue collar billionaire.
It's like, well, what does that mean?We watched that movie, the man you don't know.Right.And they talked about how, when he started in real estate, he wasn't just given hotels.He wasn't just given buildings.
He had to actually go down there and build them. And he was meeting with the construction workers, meeting with the developers, working with the plumbers, working with these guys hands on.
And to speak overall about politics, there's been a major shift really since Obama and Trump took over.The Republican base now, think about it, is really blue collar rule workers.And the Democrats are sort of college educated, women of color.
Whereas 20 years ago, plus the Democrats were the unions.We've seen what's happened where the unions are basically not coming out supporting candidates anymore.This is a major shift.And Trump is kind of like, I'm going to go work at McDonald's today.
All right.We're putting on a garbage truck.There was a, there's a funny meme that you showed at the world series last night where there was Trump at McDonald's doing his little, a checkout thing at the drive-thru and then taking out the garbage.
And it goes Biden's economy so bad these days, the average guy has to have two jobs just to get ahead. It was really funny.
And I think we should call it college indoctrinated now rather than college educated.
He's the McDonald's handing out fries.He's the garbage man, but he's the blue collar billionaire.Whether you like Trump or don't like Trump, there's one thing you cannot take away from this guy.He's a marketing genius.Look at that guy.
Even Van Jones, I said, was very complimentary of his marketing tactics.When you win over Van Jones, you're doing something right.
There you go.All right, so that's that taking place.Now, Frank Luntz said this could be the deciding factor.
Like, what just happened right now?This could be the reason that it could flip, Rob.Go ahead and play this clip.I'm sure those two CNN hosts love what Frank has to say.Go ahead, Rob.
about Frank.Notably, they were done before President Biden made his comments, seemingly describing Trump supporters as, quote, garbage.The Harris campaign is trying to downplay the effect of those comments.Of course they are.
But I wonder if you think that those comments are going to move voters.
It's going to be huge because this is not some comedian saying something stupid and offensive. at a rally where he should have been just just basically disinvited.
This is the president of the United States endorsing his vice president saying something.And I know that there's different interpretations about what he said.It's still inappropriate.He still should be doing it.
And I've watched Trump already sees this.The basket of deplorables was significant, was meaningful in 2016.In 2024, I can promise you that this is gonna drive Trump turnout.He's doing it already.
I can see, I'm sure there's gonna be ads on as soon as tonight about this.This may be a turning point for those final 3%, and that's all it is, who still need to be persuaded.And I'll offer you guys something.
We're gonna be talking to them over the next couple of days.If you wanna do something on Monday, the day before, focusing on these last persuadables, I will tell you that Trump offends them. and they don't like him as a person.
But Harris scares them because they don't know where she stands and they feel that she hasn't been clear on some of the key issues, most notably immigration.
Trump's got his weaknesses, Harris has her weaknesses, and they seem to be canceling each other out, which is why Harry's correct.This election is too close to call.
There you go.And this is not a guy that wants Trump.He's not a Trump guy.
He went to CNN saying to some Tom, what's your reaction with Frank's.Do you agree with them?
Well, yes, I do.I agree with, with Frank on that.Now, um, he has does a lot of qualitative research on the opinions.And so he's claiming that in his research, so guys, you got to remember, he's talking about his research.
He's saying that of the 3% undecided Trump scares offends them, but For Kamala, she scares them.Which is worse, to be offended or to be scared?Somebody can offend you.
You can be a person in a certain neighborhood and you're offended by the presence of the cops, but if those cops are defunded and they leave, your own neighborhood scares you.So when you look at scare, scare is worse than offended.
So this will move some voters, but what's moving the voters far more is economic fear and immigration fear.There's a right.What do you have here?That's what's going on.
These are three great clips from CNN's Harry Eaton and Anton, where he talks about the writing on the wall for this new.
This just came out.Let's see what it looks like.Let's see what it looks like.
It tracks much more with when the incumbent party loses than with it wins.In fact, I went back through history.
There isn't a single time in which 28% of the American public thinks the country is going on the right track, in which the incumbent party actually won.
They always lose when just 28% of the country is on the right track.You are swimming upstream.
Wow.What's this one, Rob?This is another good clip.Go for it.
A Republican succeeded Harry S. Truman.So the bottom line is, for Kamala Harris to win, she'd have to break history, be a Democrat, to succeed Joe Biden when Biden's approval rating is way underwater at this point.
Again, it could happen.It just doesn't in recent history for sure.OK, registration numbers here.Yeah.
You got another one or no?
I want to see all of them.
Show me this one as well.
I love clips, Rob.Give it to us.
This shows voter excitement. We're talking Arizona.I think it's a five point.They've expanded their lead from five points from where it was back in 2020.How about Nevada?Big Republican registrations there.They like the early vote.
How about North Carolina?Big Republican registration gains.How about Pennsylvania?We spoke about it before a few months ago.Big Republican party registration gains versus where from where they were four years ago.
So Republicans are putting more Republicans in the electorate.The Democratic number versus the Republican number has shrunk.And so the bottom line is, if Republicans win, come next week.Donald Trump wins, comes next week.
The signs all along will have been obvious.We would look at the right direction being very low, Joe Biden's approval rating being very low, and Republicans really registering numbers.You can't say you weren't warned.
Again, this is the data which supports the idea of a Trump victory.Tom, do you agree?
I agree with all of this.We've been poring over the same numbers.You can find it at vtnews.ai.We've got the United States up there.You can go, you know, make your own picks and stuff.
But what we're looking at is these same numbers, Pat, and we're seeing there's three things to think about here.One is voter excitement. voter excitement.We're getting voter excitement on the registration.
Yep.Okay.Tell us.Voters are very excited.They are excited about what's going on with, you know, in terms of getting out to register. That shows you how excited that the unregistration voter has been, number one.
Number two, you can see that in the early voting, there's been more Republicans registered people voting in these key states.That doesn't usually happen.The early voting is usually dominated by Democrats over the last four presidential campaigns.
Now it's even or ahead for Republicans, and Republicans have long dominated live in-person turnout.
And so, and then the third thing is exactly what he's talking about is those few funny stats, like if stock market's up or this is that and that, they talk about those stats that no president's ever won.
Let me tell you, the ones that haven't won is the Democrats haven't won when you have the approval rating or people think the place is on the wrong track.
Let me tell you what we're doing for the first time.We want you to come join us on the podcast, either here or zoom in 15, 20 minutes to give us your thoughts, except you have to get something right.Here's what it is. Number one, this is the contest.
Go to vtnews.ai.When you go to vtnews.ai, Rob, if you can just go there.If you go to vtnews.ai, go to the election site to the right.Just think about picking, March Madness does what?Picking the brackets, right?You go in to vtnews.ai.
You see zooming right there, Rob, where you get to pick it, like pick whatever the states are, red, blue, and with the numbers change on the top right, Rob, so they can see it go right there.You see how the numbers are changing?
You pick your bracket, whatever way you think it's going to end up being on election night.Okay.Once you pick your numbers, you see right above it where it says upgrade to submit your prediction.You click on that, go for it.
You have to become a premium or a VT insider, either one of them.Choose $4.99 a month or $19.99 a month.That's going to give you unlimited access to the AI.Whichever one you choose to do, we will receive your bracket prediction.
Whoever is the first to do so, that wins, we're either gonna invite you on a Zoom to be on a podcast with us after everything is done with, and you'll be here with the boys on PBD Podcast, or if you choose to get your flight, come on down, you'll be with us, you're sitting right next to us, telling us how you came to the conclusion of your perfect bracket, but again, to compete, go to vtnews.ai, go get one of these memberships, choose your brackets, how you think it's gonna end,
And then once you do so, we'll have it.And by the way, if you're that confident enough, post it on Twitter under my handle so we can save it there as well.Anyways, Adam, I think you were going to say something about.
Yeah, I was going to just get some of these things we're looking at.
Look, I think this was a massive, massive mistake by the, I'll just say Biden, Harris, Walsh campaign, because if we talk about this concept of a, uh, October surprise, think about the last three election cycles, 2016 Hillary's emails with James Comey could have cost her the election possibly did cost her the election 2020 Hunter Biden, the laptop, what happened there?
What happened possibly caused Trump the election. 2024 the October surprise.Is this Puerto Rico garbage thing?I mean a Non-issue compared to those two other things, but what's the famous quote?
I think it's attributed to Napoleon never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake the Trump camp made a mistake having Tony Hinchcliffe come on stage and insult the Puerto Rican shout out to my body was out there and then
Biden goes, yeah, well, you, you know, who's garbage all Trump supporters.
So failed opportunity made a mistake, interrupted the enemy while they're making mistake.So Trump being opportunistic says, Oh yeah, let me capitalize on this.Thrown a little garbage man uniform, get my little truck, honk, honk, look at us now.
And unless something massive comes out in the next, you know, three to five days, this October surprise has felt exponentially
You know what someone could say, Tom?I think we have touched on this before.
It's almost as if Biden, since he had to step down, aka whatever the coup you want to call it, is it just me, Tommy, or has he just been slowly just hurting the campaign, hurting Kamala, making comments?
He went up in front of the White House press briefing for the first time.They all gasped.They're like, He showed up while Kamala was speaking and then he says this garbage comment.
He's at that funeral where he's looking right at Obama and he's like pissed off.He's like, I was stronger.I was stronger.What is that, Tom?
You were talking about it's almost like having a passive-aggressive ex-girlfriend.
that she still goes to the same college you do in classes or you work at the same company or whatever and you've got this passive aggressive behavior even though you both broke up and you said, okay, we're going to be cool with each other.
I don't want to say anything to your friends.You know, no need for gunfire.
I know and I get it and I think if you if you really somebody could take that angle that he is purposely Yes, he's gone.
And yeah, he's shoving kids feet in his mouth But I think there's still the man that's still in there is upset that they screwed his ass over So he's like if I'm going down, I'm taking the whole ship with me.That's what he's doing
I think you're, you're, you're kind of onto something.I don't think it's intentional whatsoever.I think he's obviously would love to be the person running.
The reality is his numbers were atrocious after that despicable, horrible, deplorable debate performance against Trump.But have you, have we seen a weaker incumbent meaning they don't want him around?They're not putting them on the campaign trail.
And even when he sort of speaks, it's like another foot in your mouth to use that baby joke out there. And he's just as a candidate done less to help his VP or the next potential president try to win the White House.
There's basically like, Joe, you've got maybe like five more days of being the sitting president until Trump most likely wins.So. I'm pretty sure.Just don't lose this for Kamala.
He's like, I'll do my best.But this, and listen to Frank Luntz, this thing, the garbage comment is going to basically take them home.It's going to cost the finish line.
I don't think it's on purpose because Adam, to me, it looked like while he was sitting there, Tom, he was reading something.If you looked at Biden's eyes, he wasn't just off the cuff.He's reading something.
Let me ask you, you're saying this because partly you also want this.Just like the left is saying Tony Hinchcliffe because the left wants it, right?Who's right?Which one actually carries more weight?
You think there's a massive difference between this versus what Hinchcliffe said about Puerto Rico?
It's not even close.I think it's much bigger.We have a precedent here.And the precedent, Luntz pointed out, that the deplorables comment coming from Hillary, who was She was elected official there.She wasn't a comedian invited for the event.I think.
American knows and some of them were really offended that they hired a comedian that said that and I could see independents saying man I'm a little shocked here that this comedian they brought in said that and I think Pat it is different and I think it does make it different when the president says it it made it different apparently looking back into polls that Frank Luntz and others have looked at and Everyone has long said that the deplorable comment made a difference in that election because of who it came from not what was said and
Yeah, I mean, listen, the president cannot say it.Obviously, we're going to watch very closely to see what happens here.Today's what?Today is Thursday.You realize it's Halloween.Five days left, right?Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
God willing, five days, we have a new president.
Regardless, we have a new president, regard me, regard me, we have a new president, right?Whether it's Kamala or Trump, we have a new president and that's some serious stuff, folks.Anyways, let's go to the next story here.
Let's go to the next story here.I wonder what this is all about, Tom, and I'm coming straight up to you.Russia sues Google. Not sues, fines Google.Rahm, I want you to show this to the audience with the number of zeros.
You've never seen a bigger fine than this.Think about the ticket you got.I've had 21 speeding tickets.Biggest one, say $1,000, $2,000.Say you got sued.You had to pay $50,000, $100,000, a million dollars.Russia.
Go to the article, Rob, just go to Independence.Russia sues, fines Google 2.5 decillion.That's two and a half trillion, trillion, trillion dollars is what Russia does.That doesn't make sense.Well, you know, we're going to see if it does or not.
A Russian court has fined Google an unprecedented $2.5 billion for allegedly blocking pro-Kremlin YouTube content, a figure doubling weekly under Russia law since an initial 2020 fine of 100,000 rubles, following lawsuits from state-affiliated media outlets Sargrant and RIAFAN.
Since March 2022, Google has restricted ad services in Russia. Cease creating new accounts and deactivated AdSense accounts, prompting Russian authorities to seize Google's bank accounts, leading Google's Russian subsidiaries to file bankruptcy.
Despite these actions, Google-free services like YouTube and Search remain accessible in Russia.
Google acknowledged ongoing legal issues with Russia in its latest report, stating, we do not believe those ongoing legal matters will have a material adverse effect. and Alphabet shares rose over 5% after beating third quarter earnings expectation.
Tom, what's this story all about?
So never, never, never be late on your credit card payment in Russia.That's what this means.So in March, 2022, you know, Google has been restricting these services, but in 2020, they had a fine of a hundred thousand rubles.
And Rob, I don't know how much that is in dollars.I think it can't be more than what, $5,000 or something.So a basic court fines, you know, Google in 2020, a hundred thousand rubles, except it will double every week.
Now that's a very significant late charge.It will double every week.
So this has been doubling every week since 2020, and 100,000 became 200,000, 400,000, 800,000, 1.6, 3.2, 6.4, and it gets carried away to the point that the fine now is more than all the money ever printed in the entire history of the world.
So that's what's happened.So Vinny, if you do get an opportunity, buy that townhouse the next year or something.Don't get a mortgage from a Russian bank and be late on your mortgage.Because you could own them three times the amount of your house.
It's just funny.This is what it's really all about.
Is there any credibility in this?
No, what's happened is it's been doubling, and Google has been using their lawyers to say, hey man, we want to appeal this, we want to talk about this.
And they're like, OK, we can try and do that, but we're going to double it again, double it again, double it again.So they basically keep doubling the fine, and it's sitting there becoming this astronomical number.
But Google needs to be concerned, because the government is going to come down and say, hey man, you do have to pay a fine here, otherwise we're not going to let you back in.
So when Trump is elected, assuming he's elected, Google's going to be calling Trump saying, hey, we've got to figure out this court thing.And Russell's going to be like, well, we want some money, man.You're paying $5 billion.
How much was Apple's fine?Multi-billion dollars to the EU Commerce Group? you know, Russia I think is going to do the same thing.I think Google is going to write a check here.Is it going to be 2.5 decillion or trillion trillion?
No, they don't have that.
Will it be a billion dollar check?
I think it could be a billion dollar check to get back into a very important market.I think this could be a billion dollar check because they are basically saying you were censoring information in our country.Only we can do that.Not you can do that.
We're the only ones who can.So you actually think that Google is going to end up paying a fine here because who's the Google CEO Sundar Pinchot, right?So I think it's for every one U.S.dollar, it's a thousand, uh, Russian rubles.
But when they, when they, since March, 2022, Google has restricted ad services in Russia.Well, what happened in March of 2022? That's when, uh, Russia invaded Ukraine.
So there's been so many, you know, tariffs put on Russia, basically here it is right here, February of 22.Exactly.Uh, Russia invaded Ukraine, a major escalation of Russia, Ukraine, and you were sort of economic sanctions, economic sanctions out here.
So I don't know why would Google end up paying even any money to Russia for all the sanctions that are put on Russia?Is this just, uh,
No, Russia says they broke one of their laws, and they put a fine out in the middle of them trying to negotiate it.Then the war breaks out, and this keeps doubling.
So the doubling is sort of comical, but there still is an open, there's an open action here, and Google has to sort it out to go back to doing business in Russia.
And if you don't think they want to do business in Russia when the smoke clears, and they want to earn, add revenue, and do all that, you're crazy.They absolutely need markets.
Let's see if Putin, let's.
So when it comes down to social media companies, Google, Facebook, any of these companies, if you're in a market like the same challenge that Musk is having with Brazil, or he's having challenges with Venezuela, Maduro, 10 days, nobody has access to X. Those are good examples.
What standard must you follow?What standard must you, the platform, follow?And who has more weight? Does the country get to say, you don't do this, we're shutting you down in our country.Can they do that?Well, that's kind of what Brazil did.
And then Musk said, hey, in the name of free speech, I'm not going to be bullied into doing this or that.And there was a settlement.I don't think he came back on free speech.But there was a settlement there to get the market opened up.
But there's no free speech.Yeah, but here's the question.Who has more power, Tom?Google or the country?
Well, right now, Google has more power over people to influence the country from the outside, like our U S department of Congress, secretary of state, but the people with power is the country.The country can turn it on and off.
So why does Russia want Google in Russia?
Um, because I would imagine that they are going to make money or tax on the Google Commerce.Google isn't going to be able to go for free into Russia and collect billions of dollars of ad revenue.
But hear me out where I'm going with this.Stay with this conversation.I'm not talking to you as if you work for Homeland Security and you have every single answer.I'm just openly talking to see what the motives are.
No, you're asking the right questions.Do you think Russia wants Google in Russia as a way to be able to speak to the American audience and the world audience to paint themselves as the innocent, good, caring about their country people.
Do you think they need Google in a way to rebuild their brand to the world that they're not the villain?A hundred percent.Okay.So then, then that's great because what that does is.
Governments will try to manipulate social, even as social is earning money off ads.
Well, by the way, that's their job.They're supposed to do that.And you can call it manipulation.The enemy will call a manipulation. Russia will call it persuasion.Okay, the enemy will call it gaslighting.
We can say whatever Hamas is doing whatever Hezbollah's doing whatever Venezuela's doing whatever any they're gonna say we're We're in our incentive is what we're doing, right?
Yeah, like so there is Russia will say it's Pravda our truth So all I'm saying is Russia needs Google and Russia needs Google.Absolutely.If Russia doesn't have access to Google, to YouTube, like we have a channel, Rob.
If you go to YouTube, type in Valuetainment Russian.OK?If you go to Valuetainment Russian, OK, type in Valuetainment Russian.And if you go to it, right, go right there.How many subscribers does it have?Go to one of our shorts.Go to one of our shorts.
And go to the latest one.Go to Popular. to popular let's see what you have what that's reaction no no no go to the fifth one to the right that one right there let's press it let's hear it but the point is
You know, in this case, if Google says, fine, no problem, Russia comes back and says, no.What if Google plays hard?Can you find out how much AdSense, how much money does Google make from Russia?
Like what percentage of their revenue comes from Russia?Let's see how big this number is.I'm actually curious now. What is the revenue Google gets?Alphabet, right?So you have to put alphabet.
Can we see it?Oh, it dropped dramatically.
A billion of Russian rubies.
How much?Rubles. Is that in billions?
But look, that's 2021 and then 2022.
So 134 billion rubles and rubles is what?
It's a billion.So it's a billion rubles.And 2021, it's skyrocketed almost, you know, 60%.Can you find out what the revenue of Google and Russia is in 2023 revenue?Google Russia, 2023.I'm not curious what this number is.
I'm gonna rush on 220 because Google has stopped generating room in that country, Google.That's exactly where I was going with this.
Now this they did because the US government said their sanctions, they had to do it.
Terminating advertising sales, withdrawing internship offers, restricting Google pay for sanction, removing over 7,000 YouTube channels, refusing GMS license to domestic manufacturers, massively blocking services for Russian companies,
I'm assuming this happening, right?
Okay, so that makes it Google's local subsidiary in Russia was declared bankruptcy in 2020 Wow Google also has fined two undecillion rubles, which is probably two and a half decillion for refusing to restore accounts of Severus Oh, that's Google has been able to find them pro criminals in run media.
The fine is larger than estimated total GDP Google is unlike Google has been fined.This is the one they're talking about got it and Very, very interesting.So obviously this has to do with Ukraine and Russia and U.S.
took a Ukraine position, so no one is surprised with this.
Of course.And they took down RT News, everything that was apps, just because, you know, I would like to watch, I watch CNN, I watch Fox.They took down RT News right when all that started happening.
And then, Pat, a billion rubles is 10,300,000 American dollars.
Pat, just a thought.Tell me if I'm off base here.What's the total market cap of Google Alphabet? Trillion and a half.I think it's like $2 trillion.If you want to just fact check that.
So now I don't even know if Russia has a top 10 GDP in the world, but I'm willing to bet that their market cap Googles.What is it?Market cap 2.12 trillion.What do you think is more Russia's GDP or Google?
I'm willing to bet that Russia's GDP is actually under Google.I'm thinking they're 1.8, 1.9 GDP, maybe 2 trillion.2.18, it's a little bit more.No, it's exactly the same.No, it's the 2.1.Okay.So Google
is the equivalent of an entire country of Russia.So when we hear things like California has a top five GDP in the world, what does that mean exactly?
Yeah, that means Google's value is equal to one year of Russia's total output.It's pretty big time stuff though, right?
Well, I mean, the question here is who needs who?And the less Russia can present themselves of who they are, the more the media can dictate how much of a villain Russia is.
It's a monopoly in building your reputation and you can't make an argument for it.It's a very interesting, uh, it's a very, very interesting case.If one sat with Russia's Putin, you may want to entertain asking a question about, huh.
Very interesting.This is very interesting to me.
Why is it so interesting to you, Pat?You seem very, very perplexed.
Yeah, it is because If he doesn't have, I mean, no wonder so many people in US, it's a great move by Biden-Harris administration to be able to pin that person to be a villain and no one has access to it to see, I mean, all right, okay, let's see.
Obviously it's gonna change in the next few months, but for as long as he's got, he's gotta see what he can do with this part. until things change.All right, let's go to the next story here that we have.
Um, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.Let me see which one I want to go with.Okay.Gas prices dropping across the United States.National average likely to fall below $3 of gas.And why is this?
So the national average of gas in US is now $3.07, with a median of $2.99, marking a five-year drop over the past week and a $0.13 decrease over the last month, according to GasBuddy.
Diesel prices are also down, averaging 3.54, the lowest in over three years.Seasonal demand declines, increased refinery utilization, and stabilized global oil price due to easing Middle East tensions driving this drop.
The US crude oil inventory has now grown by 5.5 million barrels. Southern states hold the lowest prices with Texas being $2.60.Damn!California and Hawaii have the highest at $4.53.
Despite current decreases, holiday travel could push prices up again as historically observed, impacting inflation and goods costs.Tom.
Well, what's going on with gas prices is usually September-October, United States gas prices drop a little bit.
We travel everywhere, we go to Disneyland, we do all these things over the summer, and then we just get back into driving back and forth to work, and we travel for business.So there is a seasonal drop.Also, it's fall.It's not super hot.
It's not super cold.So we're not drawing all the extra energy to really chill and cool our homes, or heat their homes.So consequently, you have a natural demand that drops, and when demand drops, prices drop.That's what's happening, it's very normal.
However, what's very interesting in here is whenever these prices drop under $3, you are able to more clearly see the taxes in California.260 nationwide, 453, almost 460 in California, That's $2 a gallon.
So that shows you, California, that you're basically paying a tax of roughly $2 a gallon in California.Also, what's also interesting is the fuel companies are now trying to do some catch-up.
They're trying to as much as the administration will allow them under the green policies is to grow Supplies so they have emergency supplies to get them through things like hurricanes and super cool super cold winters So they've been and guess what they've done.
They have they've grown 5.5 billion, 5.5 million, excuse me, barrels of inventory.So what they're doing is suddenly, remember you used to get, remember when we were in Dallas, Pat, we got like three days notice.
In three days, it's going to be zero degrees for five days.Remember that?Yes.And they called it what?Icemageddon or whatever they called it.
That's when your pipes blew up in your second floor and the bed came on your daughter's bed and nobody was home.
Yeah, and everything caved in.Exactly, exactly right.Yeah, the fire, you know, 160 PSI fire pipes, whatever it was, blew up in the attic and flooded the place.So, because they froze.So you get like only about four days notice.Well,
The energy companies have to kick up production, and part of that is fuel oil.And we still use oil to power a lot of power plants.So what we have right now is we have a little bit more supply.But it also shows you, guess what?
If we drill baby drill and become a big oil exporter, it's low prices for America, and it's exporting a lot of oil and natural gas to the rest of the world.And that's where we're going to make money. And so that's what's going on right now.
So gas prices are down, which is good.And it's good.These prices are down as we're going into winter.
But really what's hiding below the surface here is the energy industry has successfully fought back against a lot of green policies and the consumer is seeing some benefit.And when Trump's elected, what's his policy?Drill, baby, drill.
Drill, baby, drill.Interesting.Adam, do you have thoughts on this?
Well, I'm just looking at some graphs right now.The average price of a barrel of oil today is about 72 bucks.
I think because we've had conversations about oil in general, I think they want to keep ideal prices of oil around 60 to 80 bucks in that sort of range.So we're kind of, sort of par for the course of where it typically is, right?
I mean, this, you know, me, I'm Uber and everywhere.So if you ask me the price of gas today, I would have no clue right now, but the price of an average barrel of oil is somewhere between that 60 to 80 range, right, Tom, typically?
Yeah, right now it has been as the oil industry, energy industry has fought back against some of these green policies, thanks to Republicans in Congress.
I'm also wondering when they blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, like how much of that actually affected things right now?
Because we're basically going into winter right now, summer, obviously traveling gas gets to tend to be a little bit higher in America right here, but around the world right now, Nord Stream pipeline had a significant impact on the price gas prices in Europe, both when it was operational and when it was damaged and shut down.
Is it back up and running right now?That whole relationship with Russia and Germany, I think Trump's a very vocal about that.What the, what the, what the Nord stream pipeline, it's been a, um, so is that still running Tom?
After they blew that up, it's kind of like they blew it up and then there was news like a month or two ago, but what happened to, I believe is what they blew up in Nord stream one.
I thought was no, the Nord stream pipelines are not repaired and are not expected to be repaired anytime soon.Unbelievable.So they just blew up that pipeline.And did they basically track that back to Zelinsky?Do you remember that story, Pat?
Yeah, but this is the story that I was looking for, and I found it, Tom.And I want to get your thoughts on this.So to me, this is purely market manipulation with timing.Because again, you don't care if gas prices are high in 2021.
You don't care if gas prices are high in 2022.You don't give a shit if gas prices are high in 2023.You care a lot what gas prices are. in September and October of 2024.Watch this here.This is May of 2024.
Biden administration releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from reserve in bid to what?
lower price and it's working because it's election season and it's working and he was running for president at that time that was before he dropped out after the debate and this is the strategic petroleum reserve which is usually set aside like a fire extinguisher that's right you're not even supposed to use it so you're not supposed to use this for election this is for wartime but guess what now kamala again i don't their their campaign is dumb enough to not use it but their campaign needs to come up right now and use this
they need even though they're manipulating the average person even though how many people are watching this right now it's not we don't do that our typical 9 a.m time how many people we got on right now right 21,395 okay there's 21,395 wise smart sexy good-looking loving patriots who are willing to go above and beyond and they're watching this and they get to tell the story
But how about the other 341 million people that are not aware of this?If Kamala's camp uses this, they can say their policies lower gas prices more than Trump, but I'm not sure if they're using this or not.
Anyways, guys, go fill up the gas tank before the prices go up.Hurry up.Fill up all your car gas tanks until something happens suddenly here with this.Next one here, Tom, I want to get your thoughts on this.
How the hell is Truth Social, parent company, Trump Media, now worth more than Musk's ex as election day nears.How is that even possible, folks?But I'm going to read this story to you.Trump's Media and Technology Group.
The parent company of Truth Social is now valued at $10 billion, surpassing Elon Musk X, valued at $9.4 billion.
This valuation surge, attributed to TMTG's shares quadrupling since late September, comes as November 5th approaches with Truth Social stock prices rising more than 9% on Tuesday's 34-17.Trump owns 57% of TMTG, making this stake worth $4 billion.
The company, however, posted losses exceeding $16 million for June quarter, generating only That can't be right, Tom.Truth Social has only generated 837 in third quarter.Manecte is beating that.
Despite its valuation spike, Truth Social reach remains far smaller than X. which logged 706 million visitors last month compared to Truth Social 13.5 million.
Musk, a key supporter of Trump's re-election, endorsed him over the summer and has since contributed over $70 million of Trump's campaign.
He's also actively campaigning at paranoid rallies, battleground states like Pennsylvania, urging voters... Tom, take this over because Musk bought this company for roughly $44 billion.How is it now only worth $9.4 billion in Truth Social 10?
Well, TruthSocial, we can at least go to the stock market and we can see market caps.We can look there because they're on the stock market.The price goes up and down each day depending on news and things going on.
So we know what TruthSocial is worth because we can just look at the stock market.We don't have to listen to anybody.Words talk, but numbers scream, and the numbers scream out that TruthSocial has worked this.
X is owned by Musk, and it's interesting to me to figure out who is valuing them at $9.4 billion, and how are they exactly being valued?Every now and then, Musk will make some comments out loud, but $9.4 billion for X seems way too low.
And they could say, well, X's value is down 80% because they're doing some ad calculations.A lot of times they'll say, X, the valuation is down significantly.And then you have Fidelity valuing its stake based on ad revenue.That's one way to do it.
But if someone came along, it's one thing for Fidelity and others to say, this is the book value.It's another thing if somebody came along.If somebody walked up to Elon Musk right now and offered him $10 billion for Twitter, Would he take it?
No, he wouldn't take it.And if he said he's only taking 10 million for Twitter, you'd have nine private equity firms running across the street, waving checkbooks to get in on the auction.So it's one thing to have a book value out there.
It's quite another thing to have a public value.And Musk has had issues when they add revenue dropping, but it's all about it.
It's all about perceptive value and book valuation versus what does it say on the stock market and what would the value be if Muck said, I will sell X to you, the bidding starts at $10 billion.
You don't think that that's going to be $20 billion in two seconds?
Within 10 minutes he's got, you know, multi-eight figures from us.Within 10 minutes.Oh yeah.We're gonna get in there to help out.
You and I would call two people we know right now and say, 10, he says we'll give you 11, don't call anybody else.
No, it wouldn't be one phone call to Goldman.Go ahead.
I'm going to go kind of in a weird direction right here.By the way, none of this math makes sense.So who's Trump's biggest advocate and ally these days?Elon Musk.So now a story comes out five days before election that Trump is worth more than Elon.
I mean, nobody believes that truth social is bigger and more popular, has a bigger market cap than X Twitter.It just makes zero sense.Could it be, could it be that they're trying to drive a wedge between Elon and Trump and
basically do play some games right here, Pat.I know you're not a big fan of games.It's like basically saying, Hey, I mean, respect to Chris Pavlovsky, but we all know that rumble isn't as big as YouTube.
But if imagine if an article came out that rumble has surpassed YouTube, it's like, I don't know about that. It'd be like, yeah, burger King is bigger than McDonald's.No, it's not.Pepsi is not bigger than Coke.
We know that truth social is not as big as X. It's not even a thing.So I'm wondering what kind of games are being played here.
It's almost like the people who did the math that valued Mar-a-Lago at $18 million when it's probably worth a couple hundred million dollars, maybe even a billion.Sorry.I have no clue what's going on here, but none of this math makes sense.
You shake your head.No, I agree with that.
I said, maybe the folks that were at the federal government that were trying to value things have left their calculator laying around and someone has picked up that broken calculator, the political calculator, and done it.
But there is no way in hell that Musk's X is valued over at 9.4.
Well, let's go to the next one here.Chinese EV maker. BYD beats Tesla in quarterly revenue for the first time as net profits Jumps.Okay.Now we're noticing two stories like that.Okay.So what is this story all about?
So BYD automaker Tesla and quarterly revenue for the first time posting 200 201 billion won which is 28 billion in US dollars in q3 compared to Tesla's 25.2 and
BYD's net profits rose 11.5% to 11.61, which is roughly $1.63 billion, driven by high sales in China, supported by government subsidies and trading incentives for greener cars.
BYD's Q3 success was led by plug-in hybrid sales, which surged 75.6% to 685,000 units. However, its pure EV sales grew 2.7% as a lost EV market share to other Chinese competitors.
BYD accounted for over one third of Chinese EV and plug-in hybrid sales, aided by subsidies up to $2,200 per trade and local government incentives of up to $20,001.
Expanding overseas, BYD increases its exports by 33%, reaching 95,000 cars, sold abroad in Q3, and revisited its total to 450,000 vehicles 2023.Tom.
So there's a couple things going on here.
In the United States, there's been a trend over the last two years that when people are buying new cars, EVs cost a little bit more than hybrids, and with gas moving down artificially, suddenly a hybrid electric costs less to buy, and you get a lot of the benefits
of having an electric car and paying a lot less because you're not filling up the tank with gasoline every week, you're using electricity.So there's been a shift in the U.S.on that.
Also, it is a fact that it's been harder to find places to charge your electric car in the United States in terms of offices and malls because we need more EV outlets, which is why our U.S.
federal government was trying to build EVs and why, you know, Secretary Pete caught a lot of hell for He spent a couple billion dollars, and how would it be built, seven chargers or something?
It was ridiculous, what was spent versus what was actually installed.
And then China has been taking, playing the long game, and BYD has been issuing, not issuing, they've been several models, now they have like five models that are out there, and they've been exporting a lot, and they've actually been making particular traction in Europe.
So they make a little more traction in Europe on market share versus Tesla.Other Chinese automakers have been kind of competing with BYD for subsidies in China.
The government says, hey, there's this much money for subsidies, and suddenly BYD doesn't get all of it because other competitors are with them.And so basically, it's a more competitive global market.
And Tesla has had challenges in the US market versus hybrids.And it makes for a nice headline to say, the Chinese beat Tesla on quarterly revenue, says Reuters, who loves to print anything negative about Elon Musk.
So it may be true, but they love to pick on Musk.
And by the way, this is happening without them even being in the States. And does BYD have anything to do with the Hafuzon plant that we're planning on building in Mexico, Tom?So Rob, pull up to see if BYD, BYD, Hafuzon, Mexico.
China and New Mexico has risen.Mexico is stalling.
That's exactly right.That's what it is.So BYD is electrification.Expanding operations in Mexico, including the Hafezan industry.But there you go, BYD announced a balance of funds.
OK, so now you've got to realize, apparently, if I'm not mistaken, President Trump, when he was here two weeks ago, he said, Dev, put this on pause.Rob, can you verify it?Because this story is from July.
So Mexico near, let's see what this one is here, Mexico's shine bomb, the race is on to harness near shoring.Yeah, I'm trying to find out if this Hafizan plan is being done. or it's put on halt or not.
If it is because of the, I think Biden was giving $7,500 tax credit, cars coming here from Mexico, and then Mexico is growing.I'm just trying to see if this hafizan plant is put on stop, put on halt or no.
And I thought there were some US makers that also said they were putting something on hold.It was a ginormous factory.We saw pictures of it like in the hills. And it was ginormous.And they said, well, okay, there it is.
I just found a China.Okay.I found it.I found it.Rob, if you can pull this up, uh, there it is.Pull the story up that I just sent to you. this story will tell you what they're doing.Very interesting.
So President Trump, when he was on, and he said they're gonna put it on pause until after U.S.elections is true.Watch this.China's BYD pauses Mexico factory plans until after U.S.elections.I wonder why.
Mexico could be a key production site for BYD along with plants it is building or already operating in Brazil, Hungary, Turkey, Thailand, go a little lower, Rob.
China's top electoral BYD will not announce a major plan investment in Mexico until after the U.S.election.
According to people who are familiar with the matters of globalism, BYD was scouting three locations for a car production facility in Mexico, but has stopped.
Actively looking for now several of the people said asking not to be identified discussing information.This is private.Well, it's out now.The postpone is largely because BYD would prefer to wait to see the outcome of the race between U.S.
President Trump and Kamala Harris. They added that BYD's POS factory may still be revived or could change.This, in other words, has not postponed.
And then they said, BYD said in a statement to Bloomberg that it has not postponed a decision on a factory in Mexico.
We continue working to build a factory with the highest technological standards for the Mexican market, not for the United States market, nor for the export market.For BYD, the Mexican market is very relevant.
OK, you either believe them or you don't, right? They know if Trump comes in, Trump's going to be making their life a living hell.But if Kamala's there, they're going to say, well, we can negotiate with her, no problem.
China also plays the long game.So they'll say, hey, listen, build, build the factory, only build cars for Mexico.Tell everybody it's all about the Mexican market.Someday there'll be a U.S.president not named Trump.
That's right.That's right.
Quick thought. I mean, Pat, you really got me like acting like a forex trader.Now we're talking about, uh, Russian rupees out here.We get the Chinese, uh, one, we get the Mexican pay.
So I'm doing all this math here, but it just making, tell me Pat, if I'm going somewhere, this, how many years ago that we interviewed the guy, um, the confessions of an economic hit man, what was his name again?
Okay.And how, what's the easiest way to destroy a country? through debt, right?So China goes all around the world, basically saddling countries with debt.
I think in Africa alone, that's a couple of hundred billions of dollars that countries like Zambia and Angola and Kenya, Oh, China, the every country in Africa for the most part, Oh, China, all this mass amount of money.
Cause they're mining what cobalt and lithium and natural resource, all this stuff for EVs.And it just, all these stories make me wonder You know, how, how accurate is this?How much is it the media going against Elon?
Because we covered in the last story about, you know, is true social worth more than X?I would highly doubt that.But you said something interesting to Piers Morgan, which was a fascinating conversation yesterday.
Um, and you said right now, Trump is the number one enemy, but if, and when he gets elected, you said that you prioritize JD Vance.
No, Musk has won, JD won, then Trump.
So it's interesting.But basically once Trump gets elected, they're like, I mean, I'll let you summarize this.He has four years, JD has eight, but Elon's got another 40 years of success around the world.
And he's aligned himself with Trump camp, obviously.And the interview that he did with Tucker, he sort of said, you know, Trump loses, like you're effed.And he's like, oh yeah, I know, I know.
So, I don't know what to make of all these stories, but I would not be shocked if the media is basically using these stories to basically bring down Elon and Trump.
Yeah, I wouldn't either.I think it's going to be a very clear focus they'll have going after them.But let me go to the next story here.Ex-Google CEO Schmidt urges US Army to replace tanks with drones.
Vinny, I'm going to come to you first with this one here.Replace tanks with drones.Why would they want to do something like that?Eric Schmidt's a pretty smart guy.So former Google CEO Eric Schmidt urges US military to replace useless tanks
with AI-powered drones, telling the Future Investment Initiative, give them away, buy a drone instead, citing the effectiveness of inexpensive drones.Rob, do you have the video of this, or no?
No, let me see if I can find it.
OK, if you can, that'd be great.Inexpensive drones in Ukraine, where a $5,000 drone can destroy a $5 million tank.Very good perspective.
Schmidt, founder of a startup building autonomous kamikaze drones for Ukraine, argued that falling costs of autonomous technology means the drone war will get rid of eventual tanks, eventually tanks, artillery, and mortars.
Despite rapid innovation in Ukraine and Russia's drone tactics, Schmidt said Western military systems are precisely wrong. for this kind of a scenario and slow to adapt.Vinny.
I mean, this is the future, isn't it, Pat?I mean, you were, what was your thing?You fixed Hummers.
One of my boys was a tank mechanic.And it's like, I mean, this is the future, Pat.We see, I don't know if you guys, I know me and Rob are these people, like on my feed on X, you just keep seeing
These drone attacks going after people, pinpointing people.But the Ukrainian, I don't want to show them, but Ukrainian or Russian, and it's like that, it makes way more sense.
You know, the maintenance with the tank and here and the noise and everything.These drones are basically silent until they come and they attack.And I hate to be saying this, but I mean, it's a way cheaper, faster, discreet method of killing people.
I think that's the future.On top of that, when it comes into the soldiers, all the robots that Elon and all these guys are designing, that's the future.
That's that art to like war, that guy, the transcendent man, the people that are debating him, we're saying that that's the future and how scary it is.
I think tactic-wise, it's brilliant, but I mean, it is scary as hell that we're not gonna have any tanks, we're not gonna have any soldiers, it's all gonna be robots.
Well, there was no tanks that rolled into Lebanon when Israel knocked off a couple commanders over the last two weeks, right?That was the drone went in.And then they sent the reconnaissance drone in with the camera to see how the guy was doing.
And he was still sitting. in the chair.
Now that was in Gaza with Yaya Sinwar, but I see what you're saying right there.
But still, there's no truth on the ground.
It's drones instead of troops and people.
Yeah, because in those tanks are human beings, you know what I mean?It's going to be less, listen, to me it's any less American soldiers in harm's way But I'm, you know, I'm anti-war.
Ultimately, I think what he's saying is the famous Wayne Gretzky coach.Don't skate to where the puck is, skate to where it's going.He's basically saying tanks are old school.Drones are new school.
Start investing more in that type of technology versus sort of what you would use for traditional land wars, which they're doing in Ukraine right now.
We won't get into that.What's the actor's name that played 300? Gerard Butler played a movie protecting the president.I don't know if you guys have seen this.Citizen?Yeah, that's what it is.Something, uh, Olympus Has Fallen.
Olympus Has Fallen, my bad.So if, Rob, if you can pull up Olympus Has Fallen.Okay, we can't show the scene.
Olympus Has Fallen?Olympus Has Fallen.Morgan Freeman.Drone War.I think that's the one.If you go to Olympus Has Fallen, Drone war when Morgan Freeman was in it, right?
Yeah, he is our second Morgan Freeman sighting guys.
There is a scene Have you guys ever seen this?No, man, I can't show it to you, but there is a scene in this movie where you look up and you see all of a sudden.
That's it.But all of a sudden, you see thousands of drones coming your way.So to save the president, he had to jump underwater for everything to explode for them to make it.And he pushes the president into the water.
By the way, I'm not going to show it to the audience because it's part of the movie.But here's what it looks like, OK?They're looking up.
Okay, you see all these drones are coming, they notice all the drones that are coming up, and he goes with the boat to save them.Folks, if you've seen this movie, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
They're there, it's literally thousands of drones coming in one by one by one by one by one.They kill soldiers, they kill everybody, you can't do nothing about it, but jumping in the water.
And going under the water, and his job is to try to save the president.It was so realistic.Oh, and by the way, this is how it comes out.This is how it comes out.Look at this.It just shoots it out like a semi-automatic.You see that?
Like a machine gun and drones.It's so realistic.I think Schmidt is right.I think the method of fighting and going to war today is different.And if somebody really wanted to attack, what is your method of protecting drones?
How are you going to protect someone if they send thousands of drones your way?What is the cost?
You've got to build something like the Iron Dome.I don't know why we don't have something like that, because that's the threat.
Well, we have what's called the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, so we kind of have that.At least a defense mechanism.
We have a biodome. Shout out to Pauly Shores.We don't have an Iron Dome, but we have a biodome.We got some work to do, Tom.We got some work to do.Tom, we're going to need you on this one.All right, let me go to what time we got for 46.
We got one more story, and then we'll go into the Yankees, and we'll wrap it up here.Man, we've covered a bunch of stories very quickly, by the way.Let's go to, do you wake up at 3 a.m.every night?
I need four times to pee, and it's ridiculous.
Do you really?I'm dead serious. Reveals how to beat this issue.Okay, and maybe this could be a life-changing moment for you on the podcast.I appreciate it Well, and then you can thank the guru not me, but I'm just reading the story.
Here we go Dave Asprey Author and founder of bulletproof claims waking up between 3 to 5 a.m.Is often due to a crash in your blood sugar
triggering cortisol and adrenaline that disturbs sleep, he suggests a bedtime snack of raw honey, collagen, and MCT oil.
As these offer sustained energy without the blood sugar crash, Asprey explains that cortisol, known as the stress hormone, listen, I know a better stress hormone, but you got kids here, wakes up,
By increasing glucose, which the brain uses but leaves you awake, chronic stress, he notes, can elevate cortisol, affecting everything from immune system to muscles, to your hair, skin, and nails, while sleep deprivation heightens risks of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Nearly 70 million Americans and 40 million Brits struggle with sleep disorders.
Experts caution against dependency on sleeping pills, which can be addictive, while promoting natural sleep aids like reduced screen time, cool bedrooms, and adequate magnesium and vitamin D intake.Tom, thoughts on this?
Well, I think what's really interesting here is there is a blend here because he's talking about Two things.The first thing he's talking about is chemical.Hey, you know what?You have a stress hormone and cortisol wakes you up.
But then he's also talking about being overworked, overtired, and dependency on sleeping pills when people are just so stressful.
So arguing against chemical and promoting natural sleep aids, like reducing screen times, cool bedrooms, and vitamin D. A great way to get vitamin D is to do what?Take a walk.
Take a walk for 40 minutes each day out in the sunshine and just collect the vitamin D. You know, we collect it right through our face and being outside.And so there's two sides to this.
One of them seems like it's common sense lifestyle, like blue light before going to bed.You know, people talk about that, blue light.
and then being in good physical condition and getting a walk, and the other is don't depend on chemicals like sleeping pills, but let's see if we can get the natural chemicals of something like honey.And honey has got a lot of benefits.
People that have allergies, they say look for raw harvest honey that's local,
and have a little bit of that on toast or things, because there's pollens in there that give you a little resistance against the pollens that are in the air, because the local honey is made by local bees.Collecting local pollen from local flowers.
So I think there's a lot of great common sense in here about getting off chemicals, having good lifestyle patterns, and raw local honey.
Vinny, this is serious stuff.But you know what it reminds me of? There was a famous song that went like this.Sugar.You are my candy girl. And you've got me wanting you.So that's Archie in the game.Right?It's a good song.
Is that Archie?Who was it?
It was actually government propaganda for healthy living.I listened to the song in Iran.
What song?This must have been the 60s.
I don't know.Maybe, listen, maybe he took this tip from the song because the song says sugar, but he says honey, honey. So he says sugar one time, but I've honey, honey.
So Dave, wherever you got your brilliant idea from, you got to stop listening to give the song credit for you coming up with this idea.
I'll add one thing.I think it's sort of Testament.The story to where we're at as a country, we're more reliant on pills, jabs, Ozempic
than actually getting your fat ass out of bed, working out, getting some sunlight, getting in the gym, actually putting in the work.Everyone wants to take shortcuts rather than actually going to bed, getting some sleep.
It's like, just take a pill, get this going on rather than lose some weight.Bing, bing, bing, ozempic.Oh, oh, ozempic.So everyone wants to take a shortcut.We saw, I won't say any names.
We saw, uh, I showed you some pictures of people that were clearly using growth hormone or whatever that was and how sort of dastardly they looked.If you take shortcuts.Oh, you're talking about, uh, yeah, I was about to do it.
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.Anyway, it's, um, As in America, we're more obese than ever, we're fatter than ever, they exercise less than ever, we're broker than ever as a country.
But just put a quick Band-Aid over it, see if it works, but go get some sleep.
Let's finish it up with this, guys.Let's talk Yankees.We're at the game yesterday, we land, everything's looking good.Then all of a sudden, for the first time in the history of my life, I've never seen
where a team has three errors, not counting Cole, not running to the first.I've never seen catcher interference and I've never seen bulk all in the same game.And you still could have won.You lose seven, six.
They announced Freeman as the MVP, well-deserved, the only guy in the history of baseball ever to hit a homerun in six straight World Series games.Never happened before.
Stanton hit 18, which now he's number three in the homerun list, right, I believe.All-time, right, with what he did.While we were there, something very interesting happened.I'm going to show this clip here.
of this guy, we're going to buy something for Dylan and we're shopping.This man comes up and it was so wild.I'll let him tell you the story on what he told us.None of us could believe it.It was such an authentic, genuine man that we met.
Go ahead and play this clip, Rob.
I swear to God.We're in the suites.Watch this.Wow.I said I would meet you today.That is insane.I even put it on your Instagram.I'm not going to lie.Are you kidding me?I swear to God.Home Run, Game 5.I will meet PBD.World Series, Game 5.Wow.
Unbelievable. This is all in the work.This is all my camera work, guys.Definitely not anyone else's.
And the nicest guy, by the way.
You love this guy.He saw you guys.He's like, oh my God, Vinny.Oh my God, Tom.Oh my God.What's up, man?Look at this right there.What's up, brother?
So he couldn't he couldn't get a shirt fast enough.
So he just made a man's own by himself That's a future American ingenuity big Entrepreneurship I knew I was gonna meet you today and I did that and crazy and by the way, you know, what's even crazier Let me take guys what's even crazier?
Remember the sweepstakes we did with the Yankees take it all that stuff that we announced With the whole sweepstakes that we announced so check this out
You know, Tom, our CTO, and Ben, they get on a call and they do the whole sweepstake for every dollar spent to see who the winner is to go join us for the big game, right?Now watch this.
We're thinking the winner's going to be somebody that's bought $1,000. And they bought from us many, many times.This is the craziest story of who ended up winning it.
When they called me and told me, I'm like, when we called him, he kept saying, get the F, get the F. He couldn't even believe what's going on, but I'll let him tell you the story.
He's a Phillies fan, but for tonight, for that night, he was a Yankees fan.Go ahead, Rob.
So I'm here with our new friend, Matt, right?And he's the winner. of the Valuetainment sweepstakes.Matt, come here, let's get inside here.Matt, give me the rundown of how you won and ended up here with us at the World Series.
Well, every Tuesday and Thursday in my office while I'm working, I have home team on, on the computer.Last Tuesday, EBD comes out, the sweepstakes, I figured I'd need some new gear.I've come a long way here.I've bought my team a hat.
And a t-shirt as well.Next thing you know, I'm entering SBC.I get a text on Saturday.Now I'm at Yankee Stadium.$2,500 spending cash.And the best suite you can have at Yankee Stadium.Unbelievable.For the World Series Game 5.And who's here?
BBD, just say hi real quick.Yo.Matt is the winner right here, right?
He bought a hat.That's crazy.
That is crazy.Talking about an ROI.I think this guy ended up getting a hat and a shirt for like 60 bucks, and he ends up going to the World Series.I think we were, to be a part of it, I don't know how much people were paying, something.
Yeah, tickets.Tickets are going for a lot of money.
Tens of thousands of dollars, right? Here he is joining us.Awesome guy.Went to Syracuse, played linebacker.Rob, I think he grew up like right around you and about 40 minutes south Jersey.We did hell of a guy.
And he's like, I can't believe that I just bought this.
He kept saying, get that.He was golfing.Get that out of here.Get that out of here.Oh my God.Boom.And ain't like a guy like from Philly would talk like that. What?
Listen, and more and more while we're walking around, we're seeing people wearing FLB gear, future looks bright gear, the valetainment gear.It's phenomenal to see all this stuff taking place.But Tom. It's really about you.
Because we're watching Tom and Tom is in the back.By the way, just so you guys know, we flew here on a PJ.Tom came in a Greyhound.He left right after the game.Hasn't had any sleep.The Greyhound had a very strong engine, so it was kind of flying.
No bathroom.How does it feel, Tom, knowing you're in a suite where everybody, well, you found two Dodger fans, and then how close you guys found each other.You're in a suite, everyone's Yankees, and at the end,
You see your Dodgers win the World Series.How did it feel?
It felt really, really wonderful.You know, you only get one or two times.That's enough.That's enough time.
A typical sports fan, you have one or two times in your life where maybe your team makes it to the World Series or the Super Bowl, unless you're like a Patriot fan or a Yankee fan or a Dodger fan.And I was just very, very blessed, and I thank you.
And I want to say something.There's a lot of stuff that goes on after sports championships are won, but I was wearing this jacket.This is 1981.
Satin jacket back from the era of Fernando Valenzuela God rest his soul and we were walking in and walking out and you know what?
Nothing, but respect for those Yankee fans and I gave him respect in return a great team a young team But they're you know, people can say what they will about New York But we had a great experience at Yankee Stadium from the people that work there to the other fans that were there I was kind of expecting.
Okay, am I gonna get spit on as a zero and
I actually did on the back of his jacket, but he didn't see it.
Well, he's saying aside from us.No, I accept you.I love you.That's all I can say.It felt really good, but thank you to New York.
Thank you to the Yankee fans, and congratulations to the Yankee fans making it all the way to World Series and coming back.I feel like the Yankees are coming back to the era of greatness that they enjoyed, you know, back in from 2000 to 2009.
Vinny, as a New York yourself, you New Yorker, And being there, how painful was it?And how do you feel about the comments he's making?Is the sentiments landing and soothing?Or no, you're not buying it.
Well, first of all, just that one first.Remember that Christmas present?I was going to get it.It just downgraded like a mofo.
It's not what, Tom, I love you to death.
But you're going to get $0.99 store type of treatment.Anyway, I'm just messing around.
So you're cutting it in half so I only get half a lump of coal.
Yeah, you're going to get half of that.
But no, I mean, just being, you know, being in the Bronx, you know, right next to the, uh, Yonkers where, you know, I was born and where I'm from, my family was messaging me like, we're all the way in the left field.
I go, guys, it's, it's, I can't, I didn't say that, but it's like, it's so to get to the other side, like we were, it was insanity.It felt good, but I'm not going to lie a disappointment. from just, I mean, what was it, Tom?
Eight errors just in the World Series in general.Kind of like, they just didn't have it.It's disappointing when your team gets all the way to the dance.Mind you, regular season, amazing.Records being broken, everything.
But then when you get to the dance, you fail in that fashion.It's heartbreaking.I mean, you know, the team looks good, but I mean, there has to be some changes for the future because you can't come that far, Tom, and go in the slumps.
have errors the manager making bad decisions it's like come on we invest all this time and all this money and we're buying we're investing in the team and then it comes and we fall flat not because it was okay one run and okay I could deal with that but when it's a horrible loss like that because all around
not playing well and not managing well, it hurts even more because we had it.We should have won game one and we should have won game two.
And some of the decisions of taking out Garrett Cole and then dropping balls, and then I love Cole to death, but then a play where he's supposed to cover first, he just points at Rizzo like as if he was going to summon him to go to first.
It's really, really disappointing.
Pat, I think it would be a good idea to maybe show your Instagram post with how you felt about Tom.I don't know if that's possible at this point.
Listen, you know, you're Rob, you can go to my Instagram and then I think there's something the guys want to do.If you go to my Instagram page, it was Tom was hospitalized afterwards. Yeah, it was not good.I probably shouldn't have said that.
My lawyers probably said the same thing.I needed therapy while I was on that Greyhound bus.
I punched him in his face.Look how red his face is.
You know that's a real picture, by the way.That's real.Like, you're putting him in a sleeper hold.No, no, no.Critics will say this is fake.It's just staged.But look at Tom.His face is red.He can't breathe.
His team is winning in the back.
Look at the veins.Your veins on your neck popping.I have five veins. Yeah, but look, it is what it is.By the way, four years ago, I was at the Dodger game when they won, okay, in Texas.Oh, COVID.And Mookie went 4-for-5, and it was the best.He's sick.
And we rooted for Dodgers in that game.There's only one team I'm going to root for Dodgers over, and that is the Yankees.And that's for many different reasons.But we're excited about where the Yankees are going next.
Rob, whoever you got that they want to do what they want to do, because I got to go upstairs to a meeting and I got to do a shoot and I got to try to go find a way to go trick or treating with the kids.Oh, my God.

My man, the reason, by the way, the reason that this guy is in the bathroom, okay, is because I had bad chicken.
So I'd rather be doing the celebration with you, but I can't have bad chicken, so I'm gonna tell you how to add it up, so I'm gonna times it by two, multiply it, use some probiotics,

You guys are awesome.To all the people, everybody that sent a message, it's so awesome just seeing these guys.A lot of them are going to be with us on election night next week.

Can't forget about you. Wait a minute, Ruby's the best.Not gonna tell you she's the best, but the breakdancer.Ruby Tuesday!
Jake back there, Malik's back there, who else is back there?
Mike Delly.For everybody listening to us, this started with a small idea of wanting to have a platform that I can talk about politics and current events.And I didn't want to mix it up with Valuetainment.Valuetainment was mainly a business channel.
And all of a sudden, Valuetainment, just a year and a half ago, was at four million subscribers, at six million subscribers.PBD Podcast went from 50 subscribers just four years ago to now 2.2, 2.1, whatever the number is, a million subscribers.
And we're doing this because of you that's watching this, still with us.For those of you guys that are watching this wouldn't happen without you.I love running into you.I love talking to you.I feel like we have a relationship here together.
And sitting down talking to these guys.If you guys were on the plane, And you would have seen how we were singing.
I didn't want to do it here, but I think I have to kind of tell you guys that, you know how I told you I don't want to show you this picture because it looks a little awkward, but I'll show you here soon.We may be coming up with a music band.
And here's what the boys band is called.It's called Out of Sync.And not in sync, out of sync.And when you listen to us singing on the way to the Yankees, we had a great time.This wouldn't happen without the crew here.And we're just getting warmed up.
Future looks bright. And hopefully you'll stay with us for decades and decades and decades to come.God bless everybody.Take care.Bye-bye.Bye-bye.
