Did you ever think you would make it?I feel I'm so close, I could take sweet victory.I know this life meant for me.Yeah, why would you bet on Goliath when we got Bet David?Valuetainment, giving values contagious.
This world of entrepreneurs, we can't no
All right, so we weren't going to do a podcast tonight.However, we ended up doing a podcast today because we have a friend, an old friend of mine.
When many years ago I started a radio show and I did it for a year and a half, it was called Saving America.I walked into this building, it was the Salem headquarters or something.It was KRLA or KKLA.Anyways, I walk in, Dennis Prager is there.
It was Wood, yourself, Hugh Hewitt. Frank Pastore, if you remember the late Frank Pastore.He was a great man.And yeah, and then obviously today we have him here.We got a lot of stories to cover with you.
Let me kind of give the stories and then we'll get right into it.Dennis, it's great to have you here.We have obviously the Madison Square Garden event that took place, where if you watched MSNBC, it was apparently a Germany event.
A lot of the folks from old Germany decided to put that event together.If you talk to the people that love America, They said it was the greatest event ever hosted at Madison Square Garden.A lot of people were there.
This one guy named Elon Musk was there.This other guy named Dana White who's got a lot of fighters who are with this organization, UFC.Trump, unbelievable event.We've got a lot of clips to show you.MSNBC lost their mind.
Tony Hinchcliffe made a comment about a community, this island. Puerto Ricans.We're going to talk about whether that joke was appropriate or not.Obviously, we got a comedian here and a retired one that can give some thoughts on it.Then we have Rogan.
Had this one guy show up on his podcast, a guy named Donald J. Trump.And that podcast, that one podcast that Rogan did, got more views than everything Kamala Harris has done combined.Think about the power of it.
One podcast got more views than all the other shows. Kamala Harris did combine.Bill Maher praises Trump for his McDonald visit.He says it's brilliant and calls Harris snubbing Joe Rogan a mistake.Michael Rappaport lost his mind.
This Jewish girl who was at the event with Trump in Madison Square Garden responded to all the stuff that MSNBC is saying about them.Beyonce showed up, put the most incredible performance for two minutes.
It was so great that after she walked off, everybody left.Everybody left and said, wait a minute, did I come, is Kamala gonna sing for me?
If she's not gonna sing for me, why the hell am I coming here thinking Beyonce was gonna perform, and nobody yet knows how much the DNC paid her.Did she get paid the 12 million bucks, the 10 million bucks, or the 8 million dollars, or
Is Beyonce so involved in charity and she's so charitable that she said, babe, Jay-Z, I'm going to go here because I support this party so much, I don't want any money from it.Who knows?Do you think she got paid?Do you think she didn't get paid?
We'll talk about that. A couple of the things here to be talking about, difficult for her to win.This is a story from Daily Caller.Mark Halperin says, data everywhere shows things have moved in Trump's direction.
Guys, it's so bad that Bezos, who is on the left, he's been for many, many years, who bought WAPO for many, many years, comes out and says, guys, we're not going to be endorsing Kamala Harris.
It was so bad that people left the office saying, we're not endorsing Kamala Harris.We're worried you're going to go and start working and becoming friends with Trump.People quit over that.So did LA Times. First time in 20 years.
And then Elon Musk, they're trying to find a way to silence this guy because Twitter is changing the game and he's got so much influence.Now they're trying to say he's an illegal immigrant.They want to report this guy.
And even NASA chief, who was publicly humiliated just a month ago because they had some astronauts stuck out there that they couldn't bring back and said, maybe we'll bring them back by 2025.This entrepreneur, Elon Musk, came and saved them.
They're back.By the way, did you hear about it at all on mainstream media?This much.You know why?Because it embarrasses who?Boeing and NASA.And guess what?
NASA out here chief comes out and says, WSJ report claims that Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Putin, should be investigated.No shit, Sherlock. You're afraid because he exposed you and you don't like it.Now, we'll respond to that as well.
Philadelphia DA wants to sue Musk for the $1 million giveaway he's given.Biden says Elon Musk was an illegal worker.Now, Biden's worried about the border now when it comes up to Musk, but not the other 12 million or 15 million people.
Van Jones, progressive, pushed people like Musk out of the party by saying all white people are racist. And all men are toxic.We'll respond to that.Tommy Robbins is apparently behind jail now.Israel strikes on Iran.
We're going to ask you about that question.You wrote a letter, a 15-page letter to Candace.What was that all about?I want to kind of get your thoughts on that as well.Project 2025, it's still being talked about.
Derek Jeter rips Aaron Boone, I don't know if you saw that or not, for costly Yankees decision.I don't know what reason.And then A-Rod also agreed with him.And last but not least, opinion from Wall Street Journal. Harvard's anti-semitism problem.
We want your thoughts on that as well.Having said that gang election night is eight days away The event is such a hot commodity right now, no joke.I'm at shops eating, Saturday night, the valet guy comes and says, hey man, can I get two tickets?
I'm trying to buy, I have to get his number, look, let me just, I got my family, I'm trying to get in the car.
I go to the house, letters sitting in front of the house, a neighbor says, hey Pat, I just bought a house in this area, I was trying to buy two super VIP tickets, is there anywhere we can get letters?
Everybody's getting you got a message on my neck of a guy that wants to super VIP guys Just so you know the elite tickets sold gone the super VIPs oversold if you gave us $40,000 a ticket right now.
We can't sell it to you because it's capacity I think we have seven tickets of VIP left and I think we have 12 tickets of the premium left, and I think we have less than 300 tickets of the general left.Once it sells out, it's done.
Just so everybody knows.And if you don't know what this event is, Rob, we have at this point, people have probably seen the video.I don't know if I want to play the video or not.
But if you want to kind of play it, and we'll go to the second half of the video.We just started building 11 acres. We're going to have a great time at this building.We're going to have a bunch of people coming down here.That'll be with us.
Jorge Masvidal, I think Lil Pump is coming.I think Mike Chandler's going to be there.Candice.I think we have Emily Austin that's going to be there.
Emily Austin's going to be there.
I think we got Vince. who, Vince will be there, Ellison, Vince Ellison will be there.We got a big lineup, Francis, Sammy, a bunch of people that you're going to know.Ryan Montgomery, a bunch of them are going to be there that night.
We will start at 6pm.Gates will open.A lot of you guys will go to the inner Miami.You'll get in a shuttle.It'll escort you over to us for security reasons.We're getting everybody to be secured. And when you come here from 6 p.m.
to 2 o'clock in the morning, we'll be together and we'll be live, live on the podcast.I have a feeling it's going to be the biggest live podcast worldwide on YouTube that we'll be broadcasting.
And if you haven't yet bought a ticket for yourself, bring your family. Bring your relatives.Bring your peers.Let's spend that night together.Who knows how the results are going to be.
Whatever it's going to be, we'll be talking about a lot of issues on what will happen post-election.So, November 5th, go to 5990 Live, buy your ticket before it sells out, and don't menact and say, Pat, is there any way I can get a ticket?
We can't sell you more.Because it's a number that we reached and we can't sell you anything else.And I'm telling you, I'm getting messages right now left and right.Having said that, let's get right into it.
Dennis Prager, have you watched the Joe Rogan Trump interview?Only, only segments of it.
So what did you think about the fact that this interview today, which Elon Musk just tweeted it out saying right now, if you type in, Rob, if you go on Google right now, YouTube, and you type in Rogan and Trump, if you just go on YouTube, okay, let's just go, no, just go on YouTube Fresh, Rob, close it, go to YouTube Fresh, this is the homepage, just go brandnewyoutube.com, and if you can go there, Rob, and just type in Rogan Trump, Rogan Trump,
And the first one should come up because it's got 30 plus million.Zoom in a little bit so we can see it.Okay, zoom in a little bit if you can see it, Rob.There you go.So the Hill, 30,000 views.MSNBC, no, no, at the top, at the top.MSNBC, 176.
The Hill, 422.Let's go a little bit lower to see what's next.So the next one is still not him.Not him.Not him.That's WatchMojo, not him. That's a thought on the podcast that he does with Bravo and others.Not him.Not him.That's a clip.Not him.
Then CNN keep going.Not him.Not him.Not him.Not the podcast.Keep going.Not the podcast.
Not the podcast.Not the podcast.You see, even were before the interview of the podcast.So by the way, however, if you want to find it, Go to the filter, Rob, if you can do it the way you did it.Unbelievable.
To go to the filter of views, to solve for the most views.Tell me how this makes any sense.The most viewed interviews, 34 million views in two days, and you mean to tell me if I type in Rogan and Trump, I cannot see it on the channel here?
So from the clips that you saw, one, thoughts on some of the clips, thoughts on the whole event that took place, the podcast.
I have a few.First, the thought that a Nazi and fascist would be willing to subject himself to hours of grilling that he had no idea where it would go is unlikely.
His willingness to be grilled by people with whom he differs, if indeed he differs with Joe Rogan, but with others with whom he did, compared to hers, why did she refuse to go on, is a more important question even than why did he agree to.
We assume he will agree to.Anything that will give him exposure, he will allow himself to be subjected to questioning.She won't, for good reason.They say it was a mistake that she did not go on Joe Rogan.That is not correct.
She is so intellectually unimpressive forget morally or politically Just intellectually.She is so unimpressive.
She could not handle it And so she she is better off not having appeared than having believe that oh, I absolutely believe it So you think if she went for three hours, what would happen?
Oh, uh, the the the vapidness of her of her thinking process would be so clear
that uh it would be as embarrassing if not more so than the joe biden appearance in the debate with with donald trump let me ask you this do you think she knows the meaning of the vapidness like you think she knows what vapidness means absolutely because it took you two words to start off with a big word to say the vapidness you know why it's funny i love the word vapid for whatever reason because nothing
I can't think of something that quite approximates the power of vapid.Vapid is an immense emptiness.It's emptiness to the third power.Unsophisticated, right?No, no, no.Empty.It means literally... Vapid.Yeah.Unsophisticated is a given.Yes.Right.
You know, I you will find this fascinating you could you could do it right now Dennis Prager Kamala Harris on on CNN With Larry King the late Larry King when she was running for attorney general of California I was by coincidence I believe on the same show with Larry King when the CNN used to have me on a fairly regular founders Yeah, is this it?
Yeah, there we go.And what happened?Tell us about it.No, no, it was just so the issue arose about a same-sex couple adopting a kid.And I argued, yeah, there she is.Yeah, I look much younger than you.
What year was this, Dennis?
Oh, it's a great question.14 years ago, I just found out.Is it 14 years ago?Yeah, I'll find it.No, no, I just thought you'd find this event.The subject was, the one that I remember,
Wherein I argued that if I were an adoption agency, and I had two wonderful couples, same sex, and then there was no same sex marriage, and a married man and woman, I would give the child to the man and woman because I believe that all things being equal, and I kept emphasizing that, it is best for a child to have a mother and father.
By the way, all the gay couples in my life, and I am very close to a number, I'm the godfather of one of the couple's children, Uh agree it is idea.The ideal is to have a a mother and father Uh to to deny that is is is just dishonest.
So I said to her i'm just curious If you have a wonderful same-sex couple wonderful heterosexual couple Uh, uh, and everything you know of is equivalent
What would your position be if you were an adoption agency and and and she refused to answer the question?
It was so fascinating to anybody listening that well, I would need to know more But I but like were you so impressed with her day said one day she's gonna run for president Amazing that you should have read my mind Did you ever were you like?
Oh my god, she's so impressed the president of the Santa Monica Coin Society
Go back to go back to with the Trump and Rogan podcast, right?Yeah, 32 million views.
He does it You know, it's all over the place, you know independence because Rogan's got the biggest independent viewership undecided voters He's probably got that base.How big of an impact you think that has on the election?
So the question is and I I don't know And no one knows how many quote-unquote Undecideds are there?Because it's it's as my producer said to me the other day dennis.Do we know any undecideds? You know, like do they live in a certain city?
Are they in the suburb of cleveland?Where are the I I hope there are undecideds.I'm, not I I hope i'm wrong, but I I I i'm a It's a bit doubtful that there's this gigantic undecideds vote.There might be.
Run a poll of watching this, who is an undecided voter?Who is watching this podcast that has still not made a decision who they're voting for?Just put yes, no.I'm actually curious to know what this percentage is.
But go ahead.No, no, so it's, yes.Let me put it to you this way.If there really are any serious number of undecideds, it would seem to me that it would be breaking on his behalf.
I don't know what appeal that she has, except that is there a serious percentage of undecideds that believe he is a Nazi?By the way, I just want to say something about the Nazi charge.
It is a shame on Jewish groups like the Anti-Defamation League that they do not, on a daily basis, condemn in the name of protecting Jews condemning those who call Trump a Nazi and a fascist.All of this is critical.
If I came to say one thing, this might be the most important.The calling of Trump a Nazi and a fascist
All it does is reduce the power of the word nazi and fascist to repulse decent human beings They have cheapened the greatest evil and uh Why jewish groups are not unanimous in condemning the democrats and it's it's not just uh, kamala harris It's the democrats for using the term
like nothing, like water, is a shame on the ADL and other groups that claim to defend Jews.
You forgot the word Hitler as well, but let me ask you a question.Yes, that's right.Why is it?Why aren't they stepping up?Why aren't they saying something?
Why has this shift happened about them not stepping up and saying, you're calling this guy Hitler?
So here's what I want to do.I want to come back to that, okay?We're for sure covering that. Rob, play two or three clips from the Trump Rogan podcast, then I want to go to the Madison Square Garden with the comments that they're making.
I want to stay on this thing here.Just play two or three of them.One of them which was a funny one, and then just play a couple other clips.We'll comment on this and go to the others.Go for it.
The rhetoric is also that you're Hitler and that in order to stop Hitler you have to do whatever it that was okay Yeah, yeah, and this is I mean you're hearing this now Kamala compared you to said your love of Hitler yesterday It's you know Kamala is a very low IQ person.
She's a very low IQ.You know I'm for taking tests, too I think anybody that runs for president should take they should give him tests, and it's not a nice idea by the way
If you look back on history, 70s and 80s, your greatest, some of your greatest leaders in the world, world history, longtime world history, they were in their 70s and their 80s.But I think you should take cognitive tests.
I think everybody, they say it's unconstitutional. But that's ridiculous.I think Kamala should have a test because there's something missing.There's something wrong with her.
Well, I think it's pressure.I think the pressure and the scrutiny.You've been a celebrity for a long time and you understand what this is like.
But for someone who's in her late 40s, who becomes the vice president, who runs for president, becomes the vice president, and then all of a sudden the weight of the world is on your shoulders and there's all these people paying attention.
But you either have it or you don't.Correct. this is an interview.We've covered a lot of territory, right?And, you know, it's fine.I don't care.I want to.I think it's much more interesting.To do an interview with Anderson Cooper
A softball, crazy softball interview.She took two days off and she studied and studied all day long and then she comes out with a result that was a real embarrassment.That was a really bad interview.She couldn't answer a question.
Rob, that's good.And every question... What do you think about this?Let me see this.Vinny, I'll go to you first.Your thoughts about what he said with the test, cognitive testing.
why not I mean this person that's going to be running our country and running the free world they have to be like all there like Joe Biden like let's be honest for how many years have we had not us have they been pretending like this guy is on point as of right now Dennis god forbid something happens where is Joe Biden is he actually going to be the one making the calls and saying do this do that I know the answer it's no it's the people that are around but I think 100% every single year
Let's test and see if you're all there.Because if you're not there, your faculties aren't there, we've got to move on.We have to.
Dennis.So again, it's the sidebar that fascinates me.Always I ask if the shoe were on my foot or the shoe were on the other foot.Can you imagine a Republican president equally incapable of being president, yet staying in the office and there
Appointing the nominee for president appointing not not nominating appointing Then the Republicans would be called the fascist party the authoritarian party the anti-democratic party But if this is done by the Democratic Party What I'm about to say is among the more painful and I there are many painful things to say about my beloved country But this is one of the biggest ones
The New York Times the Washington Post the Los Angeles Times and nearly every major newspaper NBC CBS ABC NPR PBS unique you name the three initials They function and I speak with some degree of expertise in this.
This was my field Soviet the Soviet Union communism I learned Russian I went to communist countries often and
Pravda it was to the Communist Party in the Soviet Union what the New York Times and the Washington Post and the LA Times are to the Democratic Party in the United States.
I can't tell you, when I came out 40 years ago to California from New York, I was so in love with the New York Times that I subscribed.There was no internet then.I got the physical New York Times.There was no national edition.
The New York New York Times wrapped in brown paper four days late. That's how much I admired the New York Times, and now it is nothing more than what Pravda was to the Communist Party.
It is, it is, the way they write headlines, the way they write Trump lied in a news, in a news item, not allegedly lied, not opponents consider him to have lied, lied.
The language that you can't tell the difference in the New York Times between an opinion piece and a news piece.Tom, your thoughts on this?
Well, first of all, I did something in reverse.As a young man, I loved to read Jim Murray. the great sports writer.And so my parents would get me the LA Times that arrived, wrapped up like a little log in brown paper, three days, four days late.
And I used to go in there and I would read Jim Murray and read sports pages and things like this.But I remember similar metamorphosis with the LA Times, because I got my master's at Pepperdine and lived out there for some time.
And I'm like, I can't believe this. And I believe somewhere we went from some commentating to campaigning.And that's the difference that I think has happened in the news media.
Right, they're spokesmen for a party.
That's right.That once upon a time, they were commentating on the issues of the day.And it used to be the newspaper was like, not this voice of reason, but it was a clearing house for endorsement.
And people look to see, well, the LA times, along with the sheriff of LA County, the head of the fire department, the school board, you said that on the last podcast. Yeah, that's right, but I'm for the benefit, right?
Yep, that used to be that like an important piece and role of the newspaper was to present to you the citizen you'll find that then you'll find this fascinating I think you all of you will I used to write for the LA Times regularly and
Regularly, you look up Dennis Prager, Los Angeles Times, you will see column after column after column.They had column right and column left.
Starting in about 2003, 2004, whatever it was, a shift went from liberal, which I admire, to left-wing, which is always destructive.Everything the left touches, it destroys.That is one of the understandings one must have about life.
There's no exception to that rule.And so, by the way, the most positive piece ever written about me in a mainstream newspaper is in the Los Angeles Times from the 1980s in my radio show, which was then on Los Angeles.
The thought that they would write a positive piece about me today is laughable, needless to say.
They did a front page piece on me and prager you and on a sunday edition of the la times and obviously it was negative It wasn't as negative as I expected, but it was negative But I want people to understand These newspapers went from liberal which I respect to left-wing, which I detest so going back to the question going back to the question here if
If you are choosing your president, and you have a choice on what test, Tom, you would want your candidate to take, I'm going to give you five tests.Which one of them is the most important on how to choose a president?
One is their physical that they get from the doctor. And so let's just say one candidate is not disclosing it fully, what are you hiding from us, right?
The other one is their tax returns, okay, to see what they're doing with their money, how much money they're making.Three is an IQ test to find out where they're at mentally, how sharp they are.
You know, four is their, I guess you can't even do this one here, and then credit score, which is a part of money.Let's just say you run their credit to find out what their credit is, 450, 650, 550.
Out of these tests, which one of them is your number one?
Well, are you looking at me?I'm choosing which one you would say is number one.None of them interest me.Tell me why.Because they don't tell me a damn thing about what matters about a president.I want a moral Q test, not an IQ test.
IQ and wisdom have no relationship.How do you do a moral Q test?OK, I'll give you an example.OK, tell us what the Gulag archipelago was.How many people did Mao kill?Who was Pol Pot?
I want to know if they know about good and evil in history, because that's what I'm preoccupied with.I fully admit it. And if they don't know a damn thing about the greatest evils of the 20th century, they are not going to make a great president.
Those are the questions that I would pose.I want to know, do you understand, what is the difference between good and evil? Do you believe that the United States should take an interest in the affairs of the world?What type of interest?
Do you think that the United Nations has been a positive, and let the American people judge, but both candidates get the same questions.Has the United Nations been a force more for good or more for bad or useless?
Would you like the United Nations to stay in New York or do you think it would be better if it moved to Tehran?
These are operative questions I'd like to pose.It's so interesting that that's your, so let me ask Adam, are you different than what Dennis said?I'm just curious, is anybody different with Dennis's answer?Tom, are you different than Dennis's answer?
No, I'm okay.Adam, I'm going to come to you.I'm a little bit different from Dennis.Would it be health, tax returns, IQ?
I agree with Dennis in one capacity, what you're talking about is essentially a civics test, but also a worldwide civics test.Do you know what the hell communism was?Do you know what fascism was?Do you know what Nazi was?
Do you know what happened in China?Do you know that the deadliest, bloodiest century of all time was the 20th century?Bingo, just a couple of years ago, 25 years ago.Between World War I, World War II, World War II, communism, Stalin, Lenin.
What do you think?I got what he said.What I'm asking is what do you think? I am also concerned about the fact that we have $37 trillion in debt.
And I'd like someone who can balance a budget a little bit, a little newsflash, not that Trump was doing great with the budgeting, he's quote unquote, the king of debt.
But now Biden, I think this year, 2023, they did the fiscal year, minus $1.6 trillion.So
But that wasn't one of your five tests.That would go under my moral test.
Listen, if you can make it to this point, you have a decent IQ.I don't need, I don't need like RFKs doing pull-ups, push-ups.Great.I don't need that.Morality?Do you know how to balance a budget?And do you just have common sense?
I think those are pretty important.
Yeah.Well, we'll see.Through debate, you would see that that would come out.Rob, if you want to go to the next clip on what he says here with the tariffs, I think this is the one on tariffs, right?That you sent me.Go ahead and play this clip.
Did you just float out the idea of getting rid of income taxes and replacing it with tariffs?
Well, okay.Are we serious about that?Yeah, sure, but why not?Because we, ready?Our country was the richest in the, relatively, in the 1880s and 1890s.A president who was assassinated named McKinley.He was the tariff king.
He spoke beautifully of tariffs.His language was really beautiful.We will not allow the enemy to come in and take our jobs and take our factories and take our workers and take our families, unless they pay a big price.And the big price is tariffs.
And he'd speak like that, but he was right.And then around in the early 1900s, they switched over stupidly to, frankly, an income tax. And you know why?Because countries were putting a lot of pressure on America.We don't want to pay tariffs.
Please don't.You know, they, believe me, they control our politicians.If you look at the kind of numbers that these guys make then and now, but we had a commission meeting in the eight, I think it was 1887.Think of this problem. We were so rich.
We had so much money.We didn't know what to do.So they set up a blue ribbon commission on tariffs.And the sole purpose is what to do with all the money we had.We were so rich because we were taxing other people for coming in and taking our jobs.

Tom, you know what he says in this part, I don't know if you, did you watch the whole podcast with the two of them, you saw the clips?
I've seen this clip, but I have not seen the whole thing.
You know what he said, which I had never heard a candidate explain, Tom?He asked him a question about debt.And he says, well, the one way you got to look at debt is the following way.He says, the value of America has gone higher.
So it's okay to have some debt and the goal isn't to pay off debt. There's background, Rob.I don't know what that background noise is coming from.
The goal isn't to necessarily eliminate the debt because our net value as a country, if it was a company, has gone up.He explained it.Do you also agree with him on the...
Okay, there's relativity with debt, right?So debt, you buy bonds, foreign countries, mainly Japan, we talk a lot about China, but Japan owns more than anybody else, buys the debt, and that allows you to finance things.
Okay, that's how it works on the global stage.So, however, If you look at what's called your debt to equity ratio, and I'll make this really simple for people.Let's say you've gotten out of college, you've done okay.
A couple of years later, you find yourself $50,000 is what you make.And you buy a used car for $10,000 in debt.Well, that means you're five to one, your income to your debt, five to one.But three years later,
You're making $75,000 because you got a couple of big raises and you changed jobs, but now you've paid off part of that and you only have $7,500 on that little car loan.It says you are now from five to one, you're now 10 to one.
And so with the value of a country goes up and the asset value goes up and the GDP goes up, then there is an impact on the debt.
That's true, except we have like run right past every ratio I'm familiar with in terms of the amount of debt that we, that we have racked up to the point
that the mere interest on what we have not social security and medicare interest is suddenly the first and most important thing that we pay for people it used to be your rent in your house nope for the united states of america it's interest adam i mostly have a question for pat and for dennis but i'll make a statement it seems like what's happening right now especially with trump on rogan trump seems to be kind of like he's playing he's buzzing he's floating he's up he's the he's the favorite at this point the biggest
I think disparity between Trump running now his third time versus in 2016 is he actually has an ideology.I think now in 2016 the criticism was he doesn't he just kind of put it was going with the wind right now.Now.It's pretty clear.He loves.
America.He's not a Russian asset.I think that's kind of clear at this point.We fell for it, right?Some of us people, he wants to build the wall cause walls aren't racist.Let's, you know, protect our border.And he loves tariffs.
He said on the podcast with PBD tariffs, it's like my favorite word, better than love.I was like, Whoa, that's pretty interesting.So it's kind of like he's found his groove and he found what he actually stands for.
And he knows the difference between a man and a woman.That's a whole nother situation.But do you think he actually has a more of a,
uh a pragmatic approach he stands for something versus just kind of kowtowing around well i'd like to react to one comment you made and happily react to more but when you said he loves america so uh my own background it's easily found on the internet was i was opposed to his when he was running in 2016 i i was for any of the other 14 before him i i didn't think he was a serious man i didn't think he was a conservative
I I don't I don't particularly appreciate people cursing in public every so often I get it but So anyway, I had my problems I wrote however in National Review at the time if he is nominated I will support him because the Democrats are just destructive Okay, and it's anyway so ended up supporting during his administration I turned to my wife one day and I said this man loves America and
I agree with you.He loves America.And the left does not love America.And I have a proof from 2008, I think.It's 2008.
And literally at the moment it was done, I played it, and I've played it maybe 50 times since, when Barack Obama said to an audience, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
And I said, it is not possible to love whatever you wish to fundamentally transform.
If a man said, you know, I love my wife but I'd like to fundamentally transform her, he doesn't love his wife, by definition, or she him if she wants to fundamentally transform him.
So that, if you needed any proof as to the left's view of America, it sucks until we fundamentally transform it.And you can't love what is despicable.The country's despicable.
I was never proud of it, Michelle Obama said, until my husband got the nominations the first day in my life.Remember when she got up and said that?This is the first time in my life I'm ever proud to be an American.And none of this made an impact.
on people voting for Barack Obama, it was astonishing.They have contempt for what is good.By the way, that holds true for the Middle East.
The same people have contempt for America, which is fundamentally decent, have contempt for Israel, which is fundamentally decent.Their moral compass is permanently broken.
So, you know, that gets me to want to transition the next story, but what we'll do, Vinny send out a, Rob, if you have that, which is kind of interesting, is we're talking about Rogan and Trump cannot be found on YouTube.
This is Vinny showing the top donors in the Harris, top donor contributions to Trump and Kamala.Presidential campaign committees 2024 cycle as of September 2024.Look at Google.
Look how much money they've given.
Can you see the number?What is it?
$1,464,300.That's the most out of any company?
American Airlines is Trump's.It's the most.All the big companies go left.
They're for sale on the other side.Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Apple.That's right.Everybody's on that side versus what they're giving money on this side.
But these are big companies.What about big mega donors? Some people give $100 million, don't they?
This is all about context, Adam.No, I'm understanding that.The context is, why isn't a Trump Rogan podcast showing on Google while the top donor to Kamala is Google?
So, meaning there is a reason that somebody can speculate, here's why this is going on.
Now, let's transition into- It still has 30-something million views and you can't even find it.It still has.
Now, let's go to MSG. Madison Square Garden, event yesterday, and massive people trying to get in, begging to get in, cannot get in, record-breaking attendance, fire, all the stuff that's going on, and the way the news reports on it is wild.
But even before we go to that one, Rob, you know, is this Trump speaking, or is that how they're reacting to it?
So I have MSNBC, where they spliced in clips of the 1939 Nazis.Go to that one.Let's go to that one.Play that one, Rob.
But that jamboree happening right now, you see it there on your screen, in that place, is particularly chilling.
Because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader, Adolf Hitler, packed the garden for a so-called pro-America rally.A rally where speakers voiced anti-Semitic rhetoric from a stage draped with Nazi banners.
When a Jewish protester rushed the stage, the Associated Press reported, quote, instantly, a dozen or more storm troopers set upon him, knocking him down and beating him as he held his head in his arms.Most of his clothing was torn from his body.
Later, he was booked for disorderly conduct.
Now, against that backdrop of history, Donald Trump, the man who has threatened to use the military against opponents he calls enemies from within, who has threatened to use the troops to quell what he says are lawless cities, and to use those troops to carry out mass deportations of immigrants, is once again turning Madison Square Garden into a staging ground for extremism.
Yeah.I mean, can you imagine like how to spin it?In the same arena that Joe Frazier Ali and the greatest comeback, Donald Trump, you say Nazi?Dennis, how do you process how MSNBC, you know, presents what happened last time?
Well, I'll tell you how.As I mentioned earlier, my field of study, I was one of seven students in all of Columbia University to major in what was called Communist Affairs. It was tens of, I don't know, 10, 20.You majored in communist affairs.
Yes, yes, that's right.I was at the Russian Institute at the School of International Affairs.Learned Russian, went to communist countries every year.And I wanted to understand the enemy.That was basically what it was.
I learned Russian to read Pravda, not to be able to converse or read Dostoevsky.And so I know the left very, very well. The first use of this terminology was from Stalin.Stalin called Trotsky a fascist.
Trotsky with Lenin founded the Bolshevik Party, not Stalin.Stalin was one of the early leaders, but the founders were Lenin and Trotsky.Trotsky was the head of the Red Army in the Civil War that followed the Russian Revolution.
You can't get more communist than Trotsky.But he became an opponent of Stalin after Lenin's death.And he fled the Soviet Union, fled to Mexico, and Stalin sent assassins to kill him with an ice pick, which was done in Mexico.
He called Trotsky a fascist.So every one of your listeners needs to understand this. All leftists, not liberals, I make that distinction every time I speak, all leftists since Lenin, since Stalin, have done the exact same thing.
They call their opponents fascists.There is no exception.That is what they do.They call them the worst possible names.I'll give you one other law about the left.
And that is, there is no example of the left being in power, whether in a country or at a university, and allowing dissent.There is no example.And I have, my favorite is Prime Minister Ardern, Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand.
I have played this on my show.You should definitely use this.It's easy to find the clip.During the lockdowns, she said to her people, If you do not hear it from the government, it is not true.Do you know who said that?Yes.
And by the way, guess where she is now?Harvard.She's teaching at Harvard.She is a kindred spirit to Harvard.Harvard, whose motto is veritas, which means truth, but it's a joke.It means nothing to any left-wing group.
Truth is, what is the Soviet communist newspaper that I learned Russian to read?Pravda.Pravda.Pravda means truth. Truth in the left-wing world is what they say it is.It has no objective reality.
The Oregon Education Department announced the idea that math has a correct answer is white supremacy.
That is wild to be thinking that.That is wild to be thinking that.I want to play a couple of the clips here.While we're on this, trust me, we're going to come back.Rob, maybe play Musk, Dana, and a Trump, and then we'll go back to the next part.
there who, uh, who need to vote for President Trump, okay?So, like, this is a real battle.This is a real election battle.So, you need to get friends and family to vote.Make sure they vote early.This is important.
We're going to be putting up a scorecard, okay?An early vote scorecard, state by state, county by county.What is the scorecard?Vote early.Vote now.
What did Dana say, Rob?He's rallying people.Go ahead.
He loves this country so much, he's literally put his life on the line for it.What is the other candidate proven?She can get your party's nomination without even facing voters. What else?
What else can she offer the American people other than vague promises and no plan?She talks a lot about the need for change and her hope for the future.Hope and change.Does that sound familiar? weird.
She can use the old Obama playbook, but she's not Obama and she is no agent of change.She is the sitting vice president of the United States right now.
What she hopes is voters will focus on the future because she doesn't want us looking at the last four years to see what we really need to change.We need change.
Go to a clip with Trump.Let's see what go for it.
I know many of them.It's just this amorphous group of people.But they're smart and they're vicious.And we have to defeat them.And when I say the enemy from within, the other side goes crazy, becomes a sound.Oh, how can he say?
No, they've done very bad things to this country.They are indeed the enemy from within. But this is who we're fighting, what they've said, even that enemy too, and they're really the enemy.They're the enemy of the people, the press.
They said one thing about me that I consider a great compliment.They said, this guy is the most consistent person we've ever seen.
We're watching a rally from Madison Square Garden.
That is so wild.By the way, the impact of it right now when you're seeing this, Tom. You know, and we're seeing all the data, all the polls, everything that's shown after MSG.We're looking at, you know, after Joe, after everything.
Every poll is now favoring Trump, even the majority, like we're talking national, what it's going to look like.Where are people at right now, Tom, with what's going to happen with the election?
The swing states are showing the incremental movement in the last polls toward Trump or further toward Trump.Wow.Arizona and Georgia look like right now that barring a real mathematical oddity, I won't use other words, that they're probably there.
And you're also seeing in the media almost like taking a step back just a bit to temper the blow, and you're also seeing a lot of coping mechanism.
But I'll tell you, what we're seeing right now is you're even seeing New Hampshire, which should be a 6.5 to 8 point victory in a typical year with typical candidates, she should win that 6.5 to 8 points.
Right now, it's looking like one and a half point.And it's actually inside what they call the margin of error, which is rather shocking.
But God bless those people of New Hampshire and their live free or die license plate, my favorite license plate in the US.That's where it's stacking up.And so we're seeing these things.
And interestingly enough, if you look at the margin in New York and the margin in California, it's closer. Trump is going to win neither state, but it's much closer than it's been, which is why the national popular vote looks razor thin.
And I believe right now that there is a very real non
hyperbole here a very real mathematical chance that he will win the popular vote because when you look at the polls and you look at the excitement that's in New York and in look at 98,000 people were in and around Madison Square Garden
That's shocking.That's absolutely shocking.And so the popular vote is in play.And so I hope that that's where it goes because it kind of takes the bullet out of the gun to say, well, you want it because the electoral college is so flawed.
I want to see the popular vote won.
I mean, you know, if you folks, if you're watching this, if you go to people can feel folks, if you go to VT news.ai, that was very helpful time.If you go to VT news.ai, you'll notice that this year, Trump up 1.4.
Okay, then if you go to Arizona pretty much on everybody now go up a little lower So people can see it CBS has Trump up in Arizona Bloomberg tie You go to Georgia everybody including Atlas Intel Bloomberg.
Everyone's got Trump go to Michigan Flipped even we have Harris ahead And you got the only one Atlas Intel is one that's got Trump up three Bloomberg's got him down Rasmussen is even Nevada
Again, Bloomberg and what is it, Rasmussen's got them up, go to North Carolina.Pennsylvania, only one that's Harris is Bloomberg, go to Wisconsin.Okay.
Dennis, what are the chances by 7.30, 8 o'clock on November 5th, everything's going to be over with and everyone's reacting to the fact that Trump won?Or do you think it's going to be one of those things that we're going to have to go 5, 10, 15 days?
What the Democrats have done to Election Day is part of my thesis that everything the left touches it destroys.They destroyed Election Day. It was such a noble day in American history.
Unless you had reason to be out of town, you voted on election day.You'd go with your parents to the booth.It was a beautiful ritual in American life.They destroyed election day.It's now election month.In some cases, it's election fortnight.
That would be less than a month.Election two months. And so also we knew in the day of paper ballots, with very rare exceptions, we knew within hours of polls closing who won.Not any longer.
We are now told in advance, you know, it may take days till we know.Why did we go?And by the way, this is not a rhetorical question.I really, I would love an answer.
Why do we go to a less reliable, less speedy outcome with machines than we had with paper ballots? Do you know the answer to that question?
I mean, I can give you what I think the reason is for.Okay, go ahead.Okay, I would say it's easier to manipulate.Okay, fine.
I didn't know what you would say.No, it's tougher for accountability.There is no other possible answer.That's right, you can manipulate paper ballots like you can manipulate machines.
Right, I mean, the easiest argument is Why do you check my ID when I go to the airport, TSA, for the safety of everybody else?But how many states don't even require checking an ID?I mean, the numbers you look at, Rob, you know the numbers.
I think we've reported on this so many times that they don't need a photo ID when you go in and, you know, voting.No, I mean, look, I mean, that argument is out the window.This is why Tom and I were speaking earlier today and I said, Tom, what states
There's no way we already know as of day one who's going to win.There's no one winning on the other side.Like there is no... This is not the 19... Was it 84 or 88?Mondale.Which one?It's 88, right?When Minnesota's the only one that he loses.
This is not 1988, right?This is not what you're saying that's going to be an 88 type of thing that Trump could win.84 where he can win... What is it?49 out of 50 states.
You're not there, Tom.That's not where you are.
No.Do you think there could be a landslide type of a moment?
Yes, I do.I believe that there are, first of all, New Hampshire, Virginia, New Mexico, and Minnesota, oddly, there have been very real steady movements.And would it surprise me for those?
What we're going to see, by 9 o'clock, New Hampshire is going to announce. We're gonna know New Hampshire, right, because there's, what, 11 people live there.So we're gonna be able to, right, we're gonna be able to see it.
And if it's really close, to me, that is going to be a sign.And so I'm seeing it, but I'm seeing these other states that I just listed that are getting closer, and they're now within margin of errors.
I mean, yeah, go ahead, Scott, I don't wanna cut you off.
No, I think, 350 is possible.Now, I'm not out there putting money on it, but you're on the edge of mandate.
I think the minute you touch 300 and you win the popular vote by one vote, you can argue the will of the people on a popular basis and the electoral college, regardless of what these people want to say about it. You're elected.
So does it match?Because those type of stats, Tom, and I mean, VTnews.ai, I mean, that's up to date.That's in the moment.That's right now.That's happening right now.That kind of worries me, Dennis, because let's not forget who we're talking about.
We're talking about the left.Everything they touch, they destroy.We're talking about these Democrats. They're losing.They know that they're losing.They know it's, you know, they see the shift.It's not like nothing's working.
That is no celebrities are working from Beyonce to Usher to I think Jesus Christ wouldn't be able to help them.The Nazi fascist BS story.None of that is hitting.
If they've realized, Dennis, that they're not going to win, do you think that they're capable of something bigger?I've heard this on MSNBC, the same network, Black Swan event, something, something.
Do you think that they're capable, Dennis, of doing something that would, besides the voting and two weeks of results, do you think that they're capable of anything?
So capable, you don't mean morally capable, you mean literally just can they maneuver?Can they do something?Well, so my colleague wrote a Wrote a book years ago if they if they can't if it's not close.They can't they can't cheat.
That was the day Yeah, you knew it you you would wrote that and it's it's it's and he's a moderate conservative this is you know, this is not a fire Breathing conservative, uh, but it's it is true.I I don't know what will happen.
I just want to say because I I I I feel compelled to say it that uh aside from not knowing the future and knowing and I want to We must understand a they feel morally okay with cheating This is no this is critical
If I believed Kamala Harris were a Hitler, I would cheat.It is, it is not a, it is, you are not morally bound to stop Hitler from gaining power in a country.So you can't say, and by the way, I've argued this for years.
They keep saying he's, he's a fascist.Then they're morally bound to cheat. You can't have it both ways.Oh, he's a Nazi, but I won't do anything to stop him from winning?That's not possible.
So, one must understand for the left, it is a moral good to cheat. There is no moral ambiguity involved in doing that.
Very interesting.On the way to put it, that if you believe that, why wouldn't you go all the way?
I had to do it.We had to do it.You have to do it.Yeah, it's Hitler.You're Thomas Paine and you're at Revolutionary War.There's that which me must do and there is that which me must do.
Well, let me just address the Hitler thing and why I think Trump's going to win and I think it's going to be a pretty one-sided victory.The whole concept of being a Nazi and Hitler has officially been cheapened.It's watered down.
It is a meaningless, useless word, just like the word racist these days.I would know this because I fell for it a few times.All right.I mean, back in the day, I've seen you say something like this before where
I think Hubert Humphrey called Nixon a Hitler back in the day.Barry Goldweiler was called a fascist Hitler.Things were going on.Kurt Vonnegut called George Bush Hitler.
Up to this day, Hillary Clinton said this rally at Madison Square Garden was just a Nazi rally.
The problem is, if you look at the rally, there's a bunch of black people, there's a bunch of Jewish people, there's Latino people, there's women, there's all shapes and sizes.
It didn't look like a white power rally to me, but that's just me using my eyes.Why would you want to use that? But everything's meaningless these days.All these words are sort of meaningless.Racist, Nazi, a man, woman, what?
They've all lost their meaning.But what's gonna happen right now with Trump and Kamala, in my opinion, you guys let me know, Kamala had her sugar high.Two months ago, Kamala became the favorite. What?
And reality set in because you said something like she's vapid, meaning meaningless.
Well, the data is kind of on your side because the more she talks over the last month, the more we got to know her, people started to like her less and they, at least they know that Trump is consistent.They know what he stands for.
Listen, here's a little newsflash for my liberal left friends out there. We all know he's kind of crazy.We all know he's kind of an asshole, but they want an asshole because do you want a nice guy who loses or do you want an asshole who wins?
And we want America to win again.So what's going to happen is if you check the Vegas odds, he's officially up 63 to 65% or 35%.That's not it, Rob.The numbers are not going in our favor.Here's my last point.A month ago, there it is.
A month ago, it was a campaign of joy and opportunity.Now it's Trump is Hitler. Now, she has nothing to run on, so all she could do is say, vote against Hitler, and it's not working.
By the way, there was a Jewish girl, Rob, that was at the event, if you can play this clip, and Michael Rappaport, if you can play those two.There was a Jewish girl that, do you know which one I'm talking about, Rob?I think you have that one.
Yeah, there was a Jewish girl at the event who gets out there and says, wait a minute, everybody that's saying, to the point that even Elon Musk retweeted it, this is the one, that's the one right there.Here's what she said.Is she single, Adam?
Well, let's see, maybe by- I just got back from Donald Trump's rally in Madison Square Garden.I'm a Jewish New York Republican, and I have seen the mainstream media calling this a Nazi rally.And that couldn't be further from the truth.
There were so many Jews there, just like myself.There was Israeli flags, and nearly every single speaker talked about their commitment to upholding the relationship between U.S.and Israel.
Not to mention all the Latinos for Trump, gays for Trump, and nearly every other group that would have never been allowed in if this was actually a Nazi rally.
Kamala Harris could literally bring Adolf Hitler on her stage and the mainstream media still wouldn't call it a Nazi rally.Their lives are futile.Trump is winning this election in nine days.
Make sure you get out, vote early and vote for Donald Trump.
So, uh, we were just at Mar-a-Lago.It was how many Jews Israel was there.It was like, I went up to some Jewish people, the guy that sang Hatikvah on stage.I was like, take it down an ouch guy.
We're in America here, but there's a lot of Jews that support Trump.But the reality is you said, I think two thirds of Jews still support. the Democratic Party.Why is it?
Because I'm getting a lot of hate from Jewish friends of mine like, who are you these days?I'm the one that told this guy Michael Rapaport here that I see him voting for Trump and he's like, what?Pick Dick Trump.
I go, I guarantee you vote for Trump because we've seen the left go so crazy.Why are they so nuts on the far, far left?
So are you asking why Jews vote left?Yeah, okay.So this is the most of my speaking is to non-Jews and especially to Christians.Not all non-Jews are Christians, so I'm making the distinction.
And that's the most common question I've probably gotten all of my life.Why do Jews vote left?There's a perfectly legitimate question. I could devote the rest of the hour to that and I won't.I will only say the following.
First, it is critical to understand Orthodox Jews are overwhelmingly conservative.The Jews who believe in the Torah are a minority of Jews, but that minority is overwhelmingly conservative in its politics, in its values, etc.
So that's critical to understand.Also, I try to explain to my large non-Jewish audience, if a Christian stops believing in Christ, he's not called a Christian. But if a Jew stops believing in the Torah, or even God, he's still called a Jew.
We're stuck with everyone, no matter what their views.People say George Soros is a Jew.George Soros is as Jewish as this bottle of water, okay? But because he had Jewish parents, or one Jewish parent, I don't know the case, so he's called a Jew.
But he acknowledges he plays no role in his identity, none.He doesn't care about Judaism, he doesn't care about the Torah, he doesn't care about Israel, he doesn't care about the Jewish people.And by the way, he's free to have that.
But we Jews are stuck with every Soros and every Trotsky as if they're Jews. And whereas christians luck out.You don't believe in christianity.
You ain't a christian So on one third comment when jews leave judaism, they don't leave religion They adopt secular religions as I say about and I I've written books and books.
My latest Torah commentary, the Book of Numbers, just came out this week called The Rational Bible.And so I'm pretty aware of Jewish life.When Jews stopped believing in Judaism, They don't stop believing in religion, they adopt the secular religion.
Environmentalism, Socialism, Marxism, Feminism.You name the ism, except for Nazism, and Jews, massive numbers of Jews who leave Judaism believe in it. And so that's, in a nutshell, the three top reasons.
Isn't that the same for all people, though?
Yes, that is.Not as much.Jews are particularly religion-oriented.Jews who leave Judaism still think they have some divine role, or non-divine role, secular role to play in saving the world.
And that that's the reason they speak about repair the world tikkun olam there is their motto Which is a lovely motto except the Hebrew originally is tikkun olam b'mal huchadai Repairing the world under the kingdom of God.
They dropped kingdom of God Repair the world without God.
What's your advice to Jews these days that are just still refusing to even consider voting for Trump?
If you're if they're I have no advice.I mean it's I I would ask them this.Are you aware?Does it not bother you that the democrats and I mean all the democrats with almost no exception?
believe that men who say they are women can be in women's prisons, can be in women's shelters, can play against women in women's sports.Does that bother you?I'm just curious.Do you, I would ask that you, do you have any cognitive dissonance?
Yeah, but he's a threat to democracy, is what they would say.
Yeah, but they don't have any basis for it.He was president for four years.We had more democracy than under Joe Biden, who says, I will allow you billions of dollars of college debt.I will erase it.
And the Supreme Court and other courts say, excuse me, other courts, oh, you're not allowed to do that.He says, I ignore them. The threat to democracy?Which party colludes with big tech to suppress dissent?The Republican or the Democratic Party?
By the way, what is weird about this whole thing is that she is so cornered.On one minute, he's getting the Ackmans of the world.He's getting all these people that would have never voted for him.
They're saying, hey man, I'm voting for Trump and they're Jews and they're Democrats.And then on the other side, he's getting Muslims to get up on stage and endorse him because they're convinced he's going to stop war.
Rob, if you can play this clip, how much worse can it get for Kamala?
As the president said, we just had a positive meeting with President Trump.We as Muslims stand with President Trump because he promises peace.He promises peace, not war.
We are supporting Donald Trump because he promised to end war in the Middle East and Ukraine.
This guy seems pretty reasonable.I don't know who he is.
The bloodshed has to stop all over the world.And I think this man can make that happen.Wow.
So that's the part, Vinny.So you're on one minute.I mean, these are the types of opponents you never want to face.Because Rogan said something when he was talking about what it was like.
You know, it's like, this guy sat through three hours, didn't need to go to the bathroom. We just went through with the amount of energy.And by the way, he's three hours late to his Michigan event because of the podcast.
Gets on the plane, Austin, flies to Michigan, goes to Michigan, gives the event, then is going to Madison Square Garden.
To do the event over there and entertain all the folks that are over there, whatever else he's doing throughout the day, interviews and all this other stuff.And every time you turn on, hey, Trump's on the phone call, Trump's calling somebody.
That is a annoying opponent and intimidating opponent to go up against.No wonder they're going through what they're going through today.
By the way, one of the moments that everybody's talking about from last night, you guys, the comedy and what this means is, here's Tony Hinchcliffe, which we've had him on the podcast.By the way, this guy, is ridiculously talented.
He may be the best guy right now when he gets on stage and works the crowd and roasts everybody one by one.
Thank you.He's an insult comic and he's a roast master.
Oh my god, the way he does it.That's who he is.What he did when he roasted Tom Brady, I thought it was amazing.But here's him at the event talking about an island, and I'll let him say it.Go ahead.
A lot going on.I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah, I think it's called Puerto Rico.Okay, all right.We're getting there.
Again, normally I don't follow the national anthem, everybody.
OK, Vinny, comedian, what are your thoughts on this?
OK, well, first of all, I love and I call it what it is.It's fake outrage from the left.I mean, by the way, we don't know the timing of that.I don't watch the whole the whole rally.But going up after the national anthem, do you guys remember?
I'm pretty sure you do, Dennis.Don Rickles does the Ronald Reagan roast, right?Not necessarily the roast.He spoke.He's spoken for everybody.You know what he opened with?
Webster, for all the young people that don't know, is a little person actor, a black little person actor from back in the 80s.Can you show the opening of this, Pat?What he says to him at the beginning?Sure.Show this, Rob.Listen to the opening line.
I know this is a Republican celebration, but I have the honor of introducing a man who is so democratic, he picks on everybody equally, even a little kid like me. Mr. Don Rickles.
What year is this?Oh, man.Vinny, you're not getting... What's he about to say?No, no, no, no.Can we play this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.You can play this.
This is what he's... Dude, he's in front of the president.Watch.
Watch this.Watch this.Watch.Watch.January 1985.Be funny.
Be funny.And look at the first line that he... Look.What a racial humor.Look what he says to this little kid.
First black kid I ever saw it'll definitely never play basketball Stop that first black.
I'll never play.What even is this at he opened with that.Well, what event is this?
Oh, this is that like, um 1985 inaugural ceremony for Ronald Reagan.
He just became the president.You're talking about a different time, Delvini.You're talking from 84, 85 to now.You are in the most sensitive season of all time.So let me go back to it.
Tom, what Tony Hinchcliffe said on stage when he says, you know, an island of, what does he call it, an island of- He said there's a floating island of garbage.Yeah.Oh, it's Puerto Rico.What do you think about it?What do you think about it?
Because just so you know, Trump's camp came out afterwards and he said, we don't agree with what he said.I don't know if you have this, Rob, or not.It was to the point that Trump's camp had to respond to it and say, look, that's what he said.
We don't agree with him when it comes down to Puerto Rico. There's a lot of voters for Puerto Rico across the country, especially some markets that are, you know, battlegrounds.
But Pat, and Tom, I'll let you go, but think about it, PBD.They hired an insult comic.You hired a roaster.People should know that.And mind you, George Lopez over the weekend at Kamala's rally said that Mexicans are thieves.
So it's not like, oh my God, let's be shocked.
But the point on that one they said, that they said Mexicans are thieves, he's Mexican.So it's kind of like he's making making fun of himself.I got you.But that again, go ahead, play this clip so people can see it.This is about the wall.
I was going to build a wall and George Lopez said, you better build it in one day because if you leave that material out there overnight.
So funny, but it's self deprecation versus you're making fun of somebody else.
Tom, if you're invited as a comedian to an event like this, There's one rule, this is a national campaign rally, and it is you have to go easy and avoid people group stereotypes.You're there to kind of pick on Democrats.
See, they don't have a race, right?You can pick on Democrats. You can pick on, you can do the same thing that, when Trump read the jokes, said, well, but you gotta keep the nannies away from Doug.Ooh, that's a nasty one.
Even he thought that maybe on the edge of that, that maybe that was there.But if you're a comedian invited to do something like this, this is not Saturday Night Live.
This is a partisan crowd and you are at a political rally and being invited as a comedian.First of all, did someone check?I agree with that.And second of all, you got to stay off people groups.That's just, it's you're, you're, you're asking.
I agree with you.I must say, maybe I'm missing something.I don't even know why it's funny.So he doesn't even have the excuse of, well, look, you know, folks, I'm a comedian.It wasn't funny.
Nobody in this group laughed when you heard it now, nobody in the audience laughed.
Or then.Or when I heard it originally.
I said nobody in that audience, exactly.It wasn't funny, it was a gratuitous insult.Insults are fine, it was gratuitous and meaningless.I don't know the man from Adam, everybody is allowed a mistake, but we at least have to call it out.
I think, uh, the Trump camp is probably, uh, having a second thoughts of why they invited Tony Hinchcliffe to do a little comedy roast, but here's what I know about comedy.
I want to know what he said 20 to 30 seconds prior to that, because if I know anything about the media, they probably cut. half the joke out, left that part in, whip it up.Oh my God.
And then they're going to play a clip like the hurricane in Puerto Rico eight years ago when Trump's doing LeBron jump shots with paper towels.And Tony Hinchcliffe said this, this is not Trump.This is not the Trump campaign.
This has nothing to do with anything. All the media has is racist, Nazi, crazy, whatever.So they're trying to see what sticks, but nothing's sticking.And Tony Hinchcliffe, great comedian.
This one failed, but I'd like to see what he said before this whole thing. You have that?
It is.Yep.I'm looking for 30 seconds before.Okay.Can we play this?
Let's see what he says.Play the clip.
The speech is under attack, people.I host a show and each week I get updates what words we're allowed to use and not use anymore.It's happening right now, the past few years.It's a real thing.
And, you know, used to be able to tell people to Google stuff.My mom's a boomer in the state of Ohio, and there's no convincing her of anything. She's eating the cats.She's eating the dogs.They're eating the pets up there.
All right, that's a Haitian joke.She's going there, sir.It is absolutely wild times.It really, really is. You know, there's a lot going on.
Like, I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now.It's a joke.
So he's already doing kind of racist, funny jokes.It's listen, the whole thing with comedy.
Let it keep going.Let it keep going.
You might as well know what he says next.Well, it's the same thing.
Okay.All right.We're getting there.Again, normally I don't follow the national anthem, everybody.This isn't exactly a perfect comedy setup. There's some people here.All right.Very good.I like it.
I have other policies that I think it should be implemented as well.Like me personally, I think football should be all year round.
Yeah.I it's okay.So my thoughts on this, on what he's doing, first of all, let's go through if I'm his manager.Okay.Yes.Privately.I'm like, Hey bro, you killed it.Everyone's talking about you.He probably got. three billion views today.
He was the number one trending thing on Twitter.All the clips combined with ABC, CBS, NBC, ABC, total views, not three billion, but he probably got two or three billion views today.
So as a manager, I'm like, hey, you just increase your daily rate from this to this.Okay, good, and no shows, okay.Now, if I'm Trump's camp, I'm sitting there, I'm like, ah, Maybe we got to kind of be careful what happened here.
Let's take our position.By the way, what he responded with, here's what he said.He says, I love Puerto Rico.I always vacation there.I made fun of everyone, the whole set.I'm a comedian, Tim.
Might be a time to change your tampon, is what he said about Tim.It was kind of like a comment that he made. And, but that's how he is.He's going to offend people.So, yeah, he said this responding to them.These people have no sense of humor.
What a wild that a vice president candidate would take time out of his busy schedule to analyze a joke taken out of context to make it seem racist.I love Puerto Rico on vacation.I made fun of everyone.The host said I'm a comedian, Tim.
You may change the time, change your tempo.Look how many views this got.Go to the bottom, see how many views this tweet got. How many?Forty.Forty.One tweet.Forty million views.Okay.So, however, this is going to be gone tomorrow and moving on.
The question really becomes, the undecided Puerto Rican voters, are they going to say, that's it? I am done with Trump, and I'm going to go the other direction.No, I think everybody's moving on 24 hours from now.
They fully forgot about this, because the news cycle is going to go so fast.But you may want to consider when you come with comedians next time. know that there's a risk with it.By the way, Tony did his job.
If Tony's doing, Tony did his job.Tony, you took the risk.Why are you bringing me as a comedian?Are you kidding me?I'm a comedian.
I'm going to come and talk shit.Question is, should the camp, does the responsibility of this go on the camp that risk bringing Tony up?
I think so, because you know what you're asking for.You can't hire strippers and then get mad that they took their clothes off.If we're going to be honest with each other, you can't be like, what are you doing?I agree.
They're called poll workers these days.
And I'm with Dennis.I'm with Dennis.It didn't hit.The joke obviously didn't hit.But with comedians, and I don't think the administration would be like, hey, listen, we need to see your set list.
When I perform in front of PHP, I'm not going up there doing any vulgar anything.There's families in there.This is a whole different situation.
Well, you heard that the Puerto Rico, I mean, Since this happened, J-Lo, Bad Bunny, I think Daddy Yankee, a couple other big, Ricky Martin, they basically came out and they're like, yeah, we support, they came out, they all came out.
Well, Ricky's been out.They came out and they supported Kamala Harris.Newsflash, they were going to support her anyway.And this is just a perfect moment.But then there was this Puerto Rican girl out there who was at the rally.
Did you see this, this clip?She's kind of got like a Rosie Perez thing going on.She goes, let me tell you something about a Puerto Rico. And the garbage, it piles up all the time.
This has nothing to do, it's actually like the ocean in the currents, you should start explaining.And she's like, garbage is here, it's actually here.Can we help us with the garbage?
I don't know if this is her, but the point is, she's saying like, yo, that's actually bringing attention to picking up the garbage.We don't have recycling, we don't have things going on.It's like, you're so stupid, Billy, type of thing.
But the regardless thing is, this is not gonna move the needle.Racist, Nazi, Puerto Rican, floating islands.
Trump's got this thing Tony Hitchcliff two to three billion views Winning as a manager You have a lot of Puerto Rican friends know from PHP if they said anything.No, they don't give a shit Matter of fact, I'm gonna tell you.
Yeah, the one lady that eight years ago were somewhere Tom if I tell you this afterwards you'll be shell-shocked and that she hate it.I mean, I can use the word hate.Absolutely hate it.
Grandmother's there, and the grandson comes, and I'm like, so what do you think about Trump?And the grandson said, oh, in our family, my grandmother can't stand it.We can't watch it.There's nothing that we can do with Trump.Like, really?
I said, you should still watch it, just because you should get both sides of the story.It's OK.The kid was eight years old at the time, OK?Now, I got a text message.
Yesterday, hey, just want to let you know, I know you're going to be surprised by this.I'm voting for Trump in 2024.Wow.Never in a million years that any, the husband never thought this was going to happen.
He's like, I can't believe my wife is voting this direction.I think this is a, this was a victory for Tony.People are moving on.Let me go to the next story here.
Van Jones, Rob, do you have the story with Van Jones, you know, the story of what he's done and how it's pushing people away, Musk and all these other guys.
Van Jones progressive pushed people like Musk out of the party by saying all white people are racist.Go ahead and play this clip.Go ahead, Rob.
It's sad that we've lost Elon Musk.And I want to point out, four years ago, Elon Musk was an Andrew Yang Democrat.Don't forget that.Why did you lose him?I mean, he's done great stuff when it comes to climate, when it comes to space, et cetera.
So is Trump a Democrat?He was.Yeah, he was.He was.But I just wonder if we look back on this period.There's no excuse for stuff that Elon Musk is doing, the stuff he says.He's irresponsible.But if progressives.
have a politics that says all white people are racist, all men are toxic, and all billionaires are evil.It's kind of hard to keep them on your side.
And so we might want to think about if you're chasing people out of the party, you can't be mad when they leave.
And maybe if we had a different politics, we actually said dignity for everybody, everybody is respected and we need you, more people might stay.
What says the guy that preaches the vision?Are you kidding me, bro?You gotta give him credit.Is that an accurate statement or no, Dennis?Dennis, do you think that's an accurate statement he just did?
It's obviously an accurate statement, but asking the left not to say those things is to live in a dream world.
If America was founded in 1619, which is what your kids are taught at school, whether it's elementary, high school, or college, which is what the New York Times created of this gigantic lie, which even liberal historians said was a lie, if they're told that America is systemically racist,
If they're told that blacks are targeted by police, when the number of unarmed blacks killed each year is minuscule, it's under 23 if I'm not mistaken.
And by the way, unarmed doesn't mean not resisting or not even capable of hurting the cop or trying to grab his gun, any unarmed.You can't then say, but there are so many wonderful whites in the country.You can't have it both ways.
You can't say he's Hitler, but we don't want to cheat in an election.You can't say we're systemically racist, but the vast majority of whites in the country are wonderful human beings.You can't.
Well, who said if you repeat something enough times, everyone's going to believe it?
Yes, Goebbels.Goebbels said it.And by the way, that is a very interesting thing that you should raise that because I am Rarely surprised, but I have been.And Goebbels was the Nazi.Yeah, the Nazi propaganda minister.
So I believed, again having studied the left and specifically communism, I believed that only in a totalitarian state can you brainwash vast numbers of people.And America in the last 25 years at least has shown me to be wrong.
You can brainwash a large number of people even in a free society.That we have vast numbers of people who say that a man can become a woman, who say that men give birth. That is pure brainwash.Your brain has been washed of facts and common sense.
It's as close to a literal wash as possible.So it's a very sad realization I have come to.It is possible to brainwash large numbers of people in a free society.
By what you just said, repetition. And because it works because people, this is another critical point.We know what they know.They don't know what we know.
I asked, I won't say who, I just say a relative of mine who is extremely bright, extremely, uh, I won't go further than that.I can give his credentials.And I said to him, I'm just curious, did you ever hear of Jordan Peterson?And he said, who?
We can name Ta-Nehisi Coates, and we could name all of their guys.They can't name one of our guys.They don't read us, they don't study under us, they don't watch us.We study under them, we read them, and we watch them.
That's a big part of the reason Brainwash is possible. I get the New York Times.They don't get the Epoch Times.Just pick one conservative paper out of the thin air.
You know while we're talking about this year, I want to go into your The letter you wrote to Candace Owens, and I'm not gonna read the whole thing I'm just gonna say what you said about it.
It's 7,500 words.You couldn't read the whole thing.
I'm not gonna go Right, but I'll say this so Dennis Brigger confronts Candace Owens on anti-semitism in 15 page letter Let me see where this is at, page 11, let me go to it.Oh, Rob, let's see what we've got.
So it's going to take me about 30 minutes to read this, folks, so hang tight. Here we go.Published a 15-page letter to Canizones accusing of engendering suspicion of Jew Zionism in Israel.
He wrote, whatever your motives, I cannot think of anyone public life in the internet as more suspicion of Jews as are you.
Prager directly challenged your claims, including medieval blood, libels about Jews murdering Christian children, and a notion that Israel exists to protect pedophiles.
Prager stresses that actions overweigh motives, tell unknowns, motives rarely matter, actions matter, and as the amount of evil done by people with good motives is far greater than the amount of evil committed by people with evil motives, despite this shock, he notes, I don't impugn your motives, I don't even judge them, but condemns the consequences of our statements.
What happened there?What happened there with your messaging?
So this is a particularly difficult notion, or situation, not notion, because Candice, I think, had her big opening with PragerU, and she worked with us until, I don't know, about three, four years ago, then she went to The Daily Wire.
And we had a great deal of hope and faith in her, because she was courageous, she's articulate, which is known to everybody, and she's not wrong on everything.But for reasons I believe literally only God knows.I'm not even sure she does.
She just took a turn on Jews, Zionism, Israel, that I couldn't believe it.And so I didn't say anything for a while because I just thought, wait a minute, this is not the Candace I know.My wife and I attended her wedding in England.
I mean, that's how close we are.And so I couldn't believe it.But I then spent two months just, and my wife, so it's really four months of researching, because I didn't want to take a single quote out of context. And I quoted directly in every case.
I put it in quotes.And no one has ever accused this 7,500 words of having a single word out of context.But the things that she has said are very, very disturbing.
And in a very calm voice, as I'm speaking now, but in a calm written voice, I answered every single one of the statements that she made.And I hope people will read it. And I sent it to her, and I took a month before I published it publicly.
I wanted her to have a chance to respond if she wanted.I didn't think that she... You sent it to her directly?Oh yes, directly, absolutely.We spoke on the phone.
Yes, this is... You spoke to her about the letter?
Yes, that's correct.What did she say?Well, I mean... The only thing that I want to repeat is that both in writing, which I did publish, and on the phone, she spoke of her love for Marisa Streit, the CEO of PragerU and myself.
And which made it all the harder for me to do this, but it had to be done.And I volunteered to go on her show, if she would ever want to talk about it.I'm not pushing to do so.I think that what I wrote is so clear, so honest,
that anyone with an open mind, including her most devoted followers, will have to rethink her statements about Jews, Israel, and Zionism.
Dennis, if I'm interpreting this right, it doesn't seem like you want to go point by point of what you said.You're kind of encouraging people to read this.
Oh, no.It would take too long.It's 7,500 words.I would, but it's not necessary.It's all there.I didn't memorize 7,500 words.
Most people are not going to read it.
Do you think that she gets fundamentally right?
I what do you think she gets fundamentally wrong on israel jews and zionism?She gets almost nothing, right?I I I mean if that is I mean some of the things are so are so uh Give us some examples.
Well, that basically that Israel was founded to protect pedophiles, I mean, or that Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, was a Frankist, which I taught Jewish history at Brooklyn College.I know modern Jewish history pretty well.
I mean, they were a tiny, nothing segment of Jews. Nobody knows, nobody knew they existed until Candace, for whatever reason, resurrected them as a group.
Or even resurrecting the notion that there may be some truth to the fact that Jews would kill Christians around Passover time to use their blood for matzah.You know how many Jews were tortured to death on that charge in the Middle Ages?
And then to even resurrect it as if there was any credibility to it? I just don't know where it's from.This is a very painful situation.But I owed it to truth, number one.And I owed it to Jewish history.Too many Jews have been the subject of libels.
And I am very critical of Jews when necessary. As I say often, American Jews prove that there is little relationship between intelligence and wisdom.The number of Jews who have high intelligence and who have unwise views is very sad.
I mean, who flirted with leftism. is very depressing to me.But I don't have a defend Jews at all costs notion.I'm not like that.But against the notions that
that Zionism is a pedophiliac reaction, or this new thing that you hear, anti-Israel, pro-Hamas chants, Judaism, yes, Zionism, no.Zionism is as part of Judaism as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are part of Christianity.
It's like saying, Christianity, yes, Jesus, no.Or Christianity, yes, the Holy Spirit, no. Zionism, Zion is listed dozens and dozens of times in the Hebrew Bible.We have so many cities in America called Zion.These were Christian Zionists.
Zionism means only that the Jews can go back to the country where they originated, Israel.Zion is another word for Israel or Jerusalem.When,
When 220 countries have legitimacy, and only one does not, and it's the only Jewish state, a fair-minded person has a right to say, that view is anti-Semitic, even if you may not be anti-Semitic.
I don't believe Candace hates all Jews, if that's what, but that's not what anti-Semite, it's not the only definition of it.The only, and I wrote a book called Why the Jews, on anti-semitism.The only movement that hated all Jews was the Nazis.
But there have been anti-semitic movements all through Jewish history.Only Hitler said, there's no such thing as a good Jew.
Even at the worst persecutions of Jews in the Catholic Church, if you converted to Catholicism and you were a Jew, you were a good Jew, or you were a good Christian now.
The notion that you're racially imbued with being awful is very old, is very rare, I should say. So you can't separate Judaism and Zionism.I know people say you can, but it's not true.
The return to Zion is, every religious Jew prays three times a day, and one of the prayers is, and may our eyes see our return, and may you God bring us for the four corners of the earth back to Zion.
It is, Herzl didn't invent Zionism, he invented the modern secular movement of it. But it is intrinsic to judaism.And if the only country on earth you say is not valid is the only jewish country on earth That's by definition anti-jewish.
There's no other read about it.Why is pakistan?I always raised pakistan 14 million refugees when pakistan was wrenched out of india to make a muslim state 14 million as in the number of palestinian refugees was 670 000
This was 7 million Hindus, 7 million Muslims.100,000 women minimum were raped. Virtually zero were raped in the creation of Israel.And yet Pakistan is legitimate and Israel, which is the only country that ever existed in the land called Palestine.
Remember, Palestine was never a country.It was a land like North America.North America was never a country.Europe was never a country.It's a piece of land.It's the name of a land.So all of this is made clear there.
And it's disturbing that it has to be said, but it has to be said.Tom.
I thought that was beautifully spoken, and I think that the confusion over labels is so freaking dangerous, because it creates that which is mistaken.
I mean, the argument you're making is exactly, exactly along the lines of where conservatives and liberals are so different.Conservatives believe liberals are wrong, but the liberals tend to be the conservatives are evil.
To say someone is wrong is a conclusion that implies some sort of processing and research, right?You're wrong.Why do you think that?Let me explain.
But when you say someone's evil, that could also be a conclusion, but there's also this emotion behind it, because it's such a powerful word designed to get you.And what people don't understand is when they're saying, oh, you're a Zionist.
So they imply that that means most of the time, and... and help me, Dennis, they'll say it because what they're saying is, oh, you Zionists, you wanted to put this state in the middle of these other people and displace them for all known reasons.
So you're bad.You're one of those Zionists.You want the state there in the middle with this peaceful country.It wasn't a peaceful country.It was this open land that was under the, you know, providential kind of semi-authority of of other countries.
Well of Britain and before that Turkey.
That's right.And you know, and yeah, foreign legion never got there.The France got to Africa and hung a left the, that's the notion of it.And you're, you're, you're so correct.
And, and people are using these words differently so that they can create the division and it is intellectually dishonest the way they're doing it.Yep.That's what I think.Vinny.
I was just gonna ask you if he thought that Candace I mean, I think she's you know, I could I haven't seen the the videos that you're talking about for doing these Dive these deep dives, but would you when you said she's you don't think that she hates?
Jewish people do you think that she's just digging deep and finding information and connecting dots?But it's just like you don't think that she hates you She doesn't hate all Jewish people, correct?
Right, but as I said, no anti-Semite other than Hitler and the Nazis hated all Jews.So the issue is, you know, did the Soviet Union hate all Americans?There's no such thing.Nobody hates all members of a group.It's almost unheard of.
The Nazis were unique in that way.But close is Hamas. Hamas acknowledges they want to eradicate the Jews of Israel.They would like to eradicate the Jews of the world.They said, oh, it's great if Jews move to Israel.
Then we have more to kill in one place.And that's the way they think.People cannot, apparently, this is one of the longest ongoing beliefs of my life.It is wrong to describe evil as dark.You can look into the dark.
You cannot look into the bright light.
Evil is not dark evil is bright light and people choose to look away The denial of evil is the greatest single denial that people have that I I saw this I saw this with communism Communism was as evil as you can get a hundred million people non-combatants slaughtered billion enslaved It had no redeeming feature.
It was pure Horrible evil and yet in the western world with all of its freedom and affluence They were not anti-communist.They were anti-anti-communist, which is another one of my theories.People who don't fight evil hate people who do fight evil.
Israel is hated for fighting evil, not because Israel is evil.Israel's one of the most decent countries on the face of the earth. We have quote after quote of West Point scholars saying no army has been as moral in urban warfare as Israel has.
The head of the British troops in Afghanistan made a PragerU video years ago saying it was the most moral army in the world and this guy's a member of the British army.
So, let me give my perspective on this and I want to move on from this.I appreciate you for talking about this because, you know, the one thing with Valuetainment is we are friends with Candice.We like Candice.We like you.I think Ben is necessary.
We're good with Tucker.And, you know, we're good with Cuomo. You know, Cuomo sometimes, one minute he's saying this, next minute, you know, so but listen, still, we're friends.
We can break bread with all, everybody, and we get along with everybody, right?Now, some of them may not like us for competitive reasons.We don't have a problem with anybody.
But I will tell you a couple things here that I was watching a video from Tate yesterday.We're friends with Tate.And the video I watched with Tate, and he says, what the F is going on with the world?
And he says, you know, I have a position here that I'm sitting here, you know, talking about, you know, what's going on with this and what's going on with, uh, you know, AIPAC and all this other stuff.I think that he was saying this.
And he says, all of a sudden, then all of a sudden I find myself in a room with people that who agree with me, but they want people's dangling to be cut off.I'm like, well, how the hell did I end up in this room?
So, so, so part of it is kind of like when you're defending an argument and then you go in the room and you're like, wait a minute, I don't agree with 80% of what you get.Why am I in the same room with you?Oh,
Shit, I made a mistake being in this room.No, I can't be in this room.I don't relate to you guys, right?It's a very weird thing.But at the same time, I'm with John Anderson, who's the former vice president of Australia.You know who he is.
You guys have done stuff together.Was it last week or two weeks ago, that interview?
OK, two weeks ago.He comes in.
Maybe a little bit before.
OK, maybe three weeks.He's in town, and we do the interview at the new building.And he asked me a question.He says, so what do you think about all this anti-Semitism, the hate? that, what do you call it?
People are experiencing right now, especially the Jewish community with all the stuff that's going on in Florida and all these other things.And I don't know if you, Australia apparently banned Candace.I don't know if you saw that.
There's something about Australia banned Candace for anti-Semitic comments.And so I came out and I said, look, this is the part you're not gonna agree with because he asked me a question about Muslims and death upon America.
And I gave my views on that.And then I flipped around and I said, look, Why can't we make an argument against it?Why can't we?The idea of not allowing somebody to make an argument against it is kind of weird.
Because my experience, every Jew that I've experienced with in my life, every Jew, I personally, from Iran, from Germany, from here, from parents getting a divorce from mom's side that were Jews or dad's side that were Jews.
I've never had a bad experience in my life with a Jew.Never.I've never had it.I can tell you I've had more bad experiences with some other communities than Jews.
Now, sitting across and trying to sell a Jew a policy or something and doing business with them, I have to read Art of the Deal 75 times. I have to go read every single negotiation book.I have to go to a Tom Hopkins seminar.
I have to go read every damn thing to try to get a dollar out of this guy.
He owes me a suit.It's been a year and he still hasn't bought me a suit.
Can I sit there and say the fact that my experience in that side has been that they're tough negotiators?Okay, yeah, I'll say that.
Can I sit there and they say they're better at using leverage and making that additional 3, 4, 5 phone calls to get a deal done?Yes.
Can I say that they have better connections, that they're all united together as Jews when it comes down to doing something, that guy's going to have his back no matter what, that guy's not going to flip on this guy?Yes.That's the part.
But, you know, I don't have a bad experience there.By the way, I've been in the army.I've been in a lot of different places.I grew up in Glendale.There was plenty of Jews there.Santa Monica.My sister married a Persian guy whose family is Baha'i.
They got some Jewish folks in their family.We're around them all the time.I've been running an insurance company in 50 states.We're around them all the time.I've never had a bad experience.
But that does mean you guys didn't over-negotiate with Clinton. That doesn't mean you guys didn't over-negotiate with Carter.That doesn't mean that Israel didn't do a better job negotiating with some of the other people.
That doesn't mean some of that stuff that maybe guys use Mossad or some intel that they have.That doesn't mean there's some bad last names that are Jewish whose last names are Weinstein or Epstein.That doesn't mean that.
It's okay to have all of these conversations.To me, it's that.However, the one thing I will say as well is anytime we have something
that personally offends us or calls us out, we will almost always exaggerate the, what do you call it, the attacks towards us.
Yeah, so let me very quickly respond.There is something unique about antisemitism or Jew hatred, whatever term you wish to use.And it's very important that everyone understand this. People dislike people.Nations dislike nations.
Religions dislike other religions.Doesn't mean a damn thing.Couldn't care less.What is unique about anti-Semitism is that it's exterminationist.The people who hate Jews want to exterminate them.There is no analogous hatred on earth.
There is no attempt to eradicate a state.Israel is the size of New Jersey, and they want to eradicate it.There are 22 Arab states, 52 Muslim-majority states.There's one Jewish state the size of New Jersey, and it's targeted for extinction.
They acknowledge it's targeted for extinction.The heroes of the Muslim Middle East are the people who slaughter Israelis, whether it's at the Olympics in 1972 in Munich, or it's on buses, or at bar mitzvahs, or whatever. It's unique.
Jew hatred is unique.It's exterminationist.
So, by the way, the conversation we were having is who do you feel more comfortable protecting where Jesus walked, Jews or Muslims?
Who do you feel more comfortable?
I mean, that's a no-brainer.
What do you think happens if there is no Israel?And then what happens to where Jesus walked?What happens to all the history that's there?What happened to Assyrian?You and I are Assyrian.Where's our stuff at?It was in Iraq.
What did they do to all those locations?They destroyed it.Can I ask you a different question?You just kind of said something, prompted something.I'm curious.You're the right guy that can answer this.
And I've asked this from so many different people, I've not gotten an answer.This is a complete different area.You guys, genocide, to make certain comments, it's overly sensitive.I'm Armenian, and I'm Assyrian.
Armenian Genocide, April 24, 1915, 1.5 million Armenians, 300,000 Assyrians, 200,000 Greeks.We're all part of that community, roughly 2.2 million total if you count it, you know. How come Israel hasn't recognized the Armenian genocide?
Well, Israel is torn on it.I don't have a full answer.I don't speak on behalf of Israel in this regard.I could tell you why at a certain point they didn't.
Because the only Muslim country in the Middle East that wasn't targeting Israel for extinction was Turkey. And they have in Israel what we want in America.We want America first, they have Israel first.
And when you're targeted for extinction, you- Not lately.Okay, so you're right.
And I don't think that there is a denial of the Armenian.There wasn't never a denial.Never recognized.Not recognizing is not the same as denial.I'm not making an excuse, I just want to make it clear. Well, maybe make a phone call to your friends.
Can we get someone on the line here?Caller line two, Bibi Angelou.Listen, J.D.
Vance and Cuomo called Trump.You can call Bibi and say, hey, can we like...
I think what you're bringing is a very valid point because what Pat is basically saying is like I'm recognizing the Jewish Holocaust Just do me a favor We've gone through yes, so it makes valid sense Israel.
Yeah, if you're America first if you're Israel first, there's some Israel's life on the line every day since it was founded in 1948 there would have been a non-issue with this regard Yeah, but this BS is gonna change and I'll tell you why because now you got the president of Turkey Erdogan
who's calling for the annihilation of Israel.That's correct.So newsflash, someone's going to have to do something to wake this up.
By the way, let me tell you, you know, like, it's a missed opportunity.Like when I saw Biden recognize the Armenian genocide, Trump could have done that.
You know, this is an opportunity for Bibi to write.You really want to give the middle finger, Bibi?Really? Why don't you go announce it and go ahead and recognize it?
I don't know if he will or not But it'd be a very weird timing of a statement if he were to do it right now again It's very easy to say there's bad.You know this there's bad that there's bad a Syrian our history It's a very interesting.
Why did we lose we should be the most powerful the empire in the world we screwed up
You got the Assyrian flag, right?
Yeah, but the point is like it's easy to go there and we forget that we all have an element of it.The one thing that is unattractive, you know what I tell you that's unattractive?
Thomas Sowell was asked, you know, he says, somebody asked me a question.Hey, what can we do?Because we're always targeted and people always say, it says lose a little bit, right?
The one thing that I'll tell you in school who I didn't get along with and I was not a fan of, people that felt they were better than you.That's always been an unattractive quality.
And that part about what's the word, I don't know if it's pompous, what's the other word that you think, is it pompous?Or is it, I don't know what the word is.
Oh, Pat, it's one of these things.
Let me tell, yeah.But you know what it is, those were the people that we wanted to make fun of because they walked around like, you know, this foo-foo type of relax, bro, relax, you know, this is America.They think your ish don't stick.
I've never met an ethnicity, white, black, Asian, never. that I went to the bathroom, and they went first, and they took a dump, and afterwards, the place didn't smell.I've never met them yet.You know, I just haven't right now.Till today, I'm 46.
Maybe it's gonna happen at 47.Maybe it'll happen at 50.Maybe it's this potpourri spray type of stuff.Maybe they carry it.
Whatever, I said potpourri is the way I pronounce it.But you guys can pronounce it whatever you want.But Dennis, I appreciate you for talking about that.And I can go to the next story.Let me go to this next story here.
See what you say about this one here. Do I want to go there?Nah, I don't want to go there.Maybe we go... Listen, here's one guy I do want to go to.Rob, can you pull up this J.D.Vance clip with Jake Tapper?Dennis, did you see this?J.D.
Vance on Jake Tapper?No, I didn't see it.Oh my God!I don't... Listen... I have a feeling... If Trump wins November 5th, I have a feeling November 6th, he is going to be the most targeted man in America for the next four years.JD.Minus Musk.
Musk is number one.For sure.But I think he's going to be in the top three.You know why?Because Trump only has one term.Yep. They're worried this guy's going to go eight years if Trump... Watch this clip of what he does to Jake Tapper.
It was so bad that insiders said Jake Tapper called his mom and said, Mom, I think I'm going to quit journalism.That's a joke, but go ahead and play the others.
The FBI was investigating it, so we covered them.And so you took the words of unnamed FBI agents and put them on your network as if they were the gospel truth.You did it again and again.
A viewer of your network would have believed that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin conspired in 2016.No.That was totally and preposterously false.No.Well, that's what you just said is false. We covered an FBI investigation.
I don't know why you want to talk about the FBI investigation.You covered it in a way that gave credence to anonymous sources' accusations.You did it yourself.Your network did it, Jake.
But again, can we talk about the issues that Americans care most about?I'm talking about things that Donald Trump has said. If you have an issue with whether or not he's talking about the economy enough, that's between you and your running mate.
I'm talking about things he has said this week.Every single rally that he does, he talks about how he wants to unleash American energy so we can lower the cost of groceries.He talks about the fact that housing has become unaffordable.
He talks about the wide open border, Jake.Kamala Harris and her allies, you know, it's interesting.Kamala Harris and her media allies, and I would put CNN in this category, you guys seem
to pursue economic policies that lower the cost of groceries and make life more affordable again.
He talks about it every single day on the campaign trail and so do I. What you're talking about is an anonymously sourced story or one guy who is a disgruntled employee.
Five other people pushed back against him and said that what he said was dishonest.
So why don't we talk about the policy that's affecting American citizens and not what Donald Trump allegedly said, according to one guy who's pissed off because he got fired by Donald Trump.
Well he, the reason or a reason J.D.Vance is effective is one of my favorite adjectives about anything in life and especially about people.He comes across as real.
He comes across, so did by the way to a certain extent so does Donald Trump to be perfectly honest.
you you whether you hate him or like him you do feel you know him and and uh you don't feel you know uh uh kamala harris i'm not sure there's anyone to know i i i i'm not big on put downs but i i i used the word vapid earlier but jd vance
is sort of an ideal candidate.He answers your questions.He's absolutely right in his answer here.CNN's record with the collusion story and other lies about Donald Trump is awful.
Again, one of my guiding principles of life is that truth is not a left-wing value.Truth is a conservative value.Truth is a liberal value.It is not a left-wing value.It never has been.It never will be.
The moment you venerate truth, you become a liberal or a conservative.You leave the left.And this man makes it clear.This is who I am.This is what I stand for.And his answers to Jake Tapper were right on.
Tom, your thoughts when you see J.D.Vance?When you see more of J.D.Vance, how are you feeling about him?
So I think there's an authenticity to his argument.And I see his argument on two levels.The first level is, I agree with Dennis, he comes across very authentic, informed, and therefore credible.
So when you come across that way, number one, then number two, I love the structure to his argument.What is the purpose of argument?To not win a point as much as is to move the conclusion to a point. And he is moving the conclusion very effectively.
So the second part of it, I like very much the way he does.He says, you're worried about what someone has said in the past.We're worried about what that person is going to do in the future.
And so he perfectly frames, you know, really the question of the election.
Now then, has what people said or done in the past important things to investigate and evaluate of what you can perceive about their character and their capabilities and their qualifications?Of course it is.But when Jake Tapper plays phrase picking,
and rather than looking at policy inspection, then J.D.Vance brilliantly, I think, comes across very credible and then moves it to the conclusion.Do we want to talk about the future?Do we want to talk about where we're going?
Or do you want to hang on words in the past?
And I think... Did he upset you though?
No, he didn't.And you know who got upset? What you're seeing, you know what you're seeing in Jake Tapper?You're seeing frustration.And you know why he's frustrated?Why do people get frustrated?Frustration comes along with anger.
Anger is not anger at somebody.Anger is a response to a blocked goal.That is the psychological truth about when someone gets anger.You block them from some goal.And what you have Jake Tapper there, I believe he's frustrated professionally.
And I believe he's got nowhere to go, so he has to stick with it.
No, no, no, he's sitting there.That's a little bit of a low shot.No, no, no.Seriously though, you're specifically talking politics, not personal life.
He's just frustrated with his wife.I think he's very frustrated professionally because he is trying, this is what Donald Trump said this week.This is what he said this week.We need to make people upset about it.It's what he said this week.
I thought for a moment you went on like that.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.Tom's getting cold.
Then Jake Tapper can get together with Jeffrey Toobin.We got to figure something out because we got a flight to catch.
Go ahead.Let me tell you one thing about J.D.Vance. The the issue that they're having with him is you can't put him in a box.Oh, he's uh, he's white trash He doesn't know anything.
Well, the guy went to like the most elite universities in the world He's just all he cares about is white Appalachia.He's married to an Indian woman.So like he's got Indian kids It's mixes by rich.He's done everything.He's been in the military.
He loves America.It's like all he does is defend Trump It's like he's doing it way better than Mike Pence ever did.You can't put this guy in a box.He's likable.He's real You know, there was a there was a rough getting off the ground What?
No, he's still upset about the Tom thing, but go.
You can't lie him into a box.I'm just saying he's likable, he's respectable, he's fair but firm.Let's stay with issues guys, not personal life.He's genuinely, he knows his policies, he's a fighter, he knows what he's doing.
You know what I'm excited about?
What?Can I tell you what I'm excited about? Here's what I'm excited about.I don't like him going after Jake's wife, like wife, like family.You went after him?No, no, it's like, is he married?Is there something we don't know about?
Oh man, Tom did it again.Nah, just stick to politics, Tom.But Dennis, sometimes Tom does this and I don't appreciate it.It's true.But I will tell you something.Can I tell you the craziest thing?What I'm excited about?You ready for this?
Sincerely, I'm going to tell you what I'm excited about.I can't wait for it. I can't wait for 2028, JD Vance and Vivek on the stage debating.27, those RNC tickets.Those two?Oh my god.
With their history?Can I say one thing?
BBD, let's not stop talking.We got 10 days before the 2024 election.This guy's already thinking about 2028.Come on, BBD!I know the future looks bright.I'm happy you said that.Let's finish strong here, guys.Enough's enough.
If you think about it, the future does look bright and I'm happy you brought it up.
I have it up on my computer the future looks bright because besides him eating Jake Tapper live which I love I hate all these flip-flop guys that are like you know one day you're like oh he's sounding like he's coming around like Bill Maher and then they're just they're still left as hacks the fact that think about this the future the Republican Party who do the Republicans have this year Nikki Haley Chris Christie Asa Hutchinson Tim Scott Doug Burnham your boy Mike Pence
He's seeing somebody like JD Vance that stands up for what he believes in can can talk crap with the best of them Okay, that's the future looking bright and the fact that you put in Vivek in there Pat now now It's starting to form where you could you could see like, okay, we're gonna have people.
What are you looking at?You're teasing me.What do you know?It was the odds for 28
No, no, not the Oxford 28, but it was, it was, I mean, what do you think it's going to be?It's going to be JD, it's going to be JD.Vivek, who would you put number three?Right now, who would be number three?
Let me tell you, the bench is a deep bench.That's what I'm saying.
And you know who else is going to get into in 2020 possibly? a girl named Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez because of what age she's going to be.You know what then?I would hope Tulsi Gabbard flips back to Democrat just to be her.
By the way, I just want to put this out there before, so everybody knows, Jake Tapper's been married since 2006.Happily. to Jennifer Marie Brown, a former Planned Parenthood official, Tom.
So whatever shot you were trying to take, Tom, we were trying to stay specific to the business side and politics side.Good for Jake.You're in good company.You married a Jennifer.So did I. But OK, Dennis, if you lived in Florida,
which I know you're a big fan of Newsom, but if you did choose to live in Florida and move out here, okay, if you did, we would do this more often because it's always fun to have a conversation with you.
But as somebody that's loyally committed, you know, fully committed to Gavin and you love that state.
Well, let me just say for the record, since I have a child and grandchildren here, I am happy to come whenever you invite me.
Great, so we got a great excuse for it.
Can I ask him what his prediction is for tonight's game?Yeah, go for it.Dennis, Yankees, Dodgers, who wins tonight?I want to know.
Tom, you gotta leave, please.Tom, don't even joke.Yes, so I'm going to make 50% of your audience gratuitously annoyed with me.I don't mind being annoyed with, but it'll be gratuitous.
So I would say right now, and I'm not a big Dodger fan, I'm actually an Angels fan, I've always loved the underdog, all of my years in LA.Nevertheless, it's hard to imagine that the Yankees will win the World Series.
That's how you're gonna finish this podcast?
It was unethical of you to ask me that as the last question.So it's on me!I'm the unethical guy.We're gonna take an ethical IQ test.It is what it is.We're gonna see what's gonna happen.
By the way, Tom got me a gift. That's a little crazy.Maybe Tom was saying something.The Dodgers are up 2-0.Yankees should have been up 2-0.If Juan Soto doesn't make that mistake in the right field.
If Aaron Boone doesn't put in a pitcher and they say, this guy hasn't pitched for a month.Boom!Grand slam.If we're one out away, two outs away from being up 2-0.Okay.If, here's what the other if is, where we are today.Tom gets me.
Sir a the last time the Yankees won a World Series against the Dodgers.Okay, check this out crazy PSA 10 and 8 graded he gets me the ticket number one of the game This was in 1978 the year I was born the year you were born.
Yes, sir game one Dodgers win sign ticket game two Dodgers win signed by Reggie Jackson game three Signed by Reggie Jackson, take it.Yankees win.Game four.Signed by Reggie Jackson.Yankees win.Game five.Yankees win.Game six.What?
Yankees come back and win 4-2.Di Iorio and I were born.
Oh my goodness, this could be a sign.
This is a sign.We're going to win tonight, baby!
Oh, hold on.That's why you're Daddy 1978.Now I know.DVD.
This whole time?I got a new phone today.I'm texting everybody.
It's using my old username.
Daddy1978.Keeping everybody's texts the same.Who the hell is Daddy?
Who is your favorite Yankee of all time?I'm not doing this.I gotta get him on a flight.I gotta get him on a flight.I gotta get him on a flight.My favorite Yankee is Dylan James, but David, when he wears a Yankee's jersey, that's my favorite Yankee.
Anyways, Dennis, always a pleasure, truly always a pleasure.Safe travels to you guys.We're going to do this again tomorrow morning.Everybody that's coming to the November 5th election, I cannot wait to see you.Go get your ticket.We'll see you there.
God bless everybody.Take care.Bye bye.
