Or as they say, dual use. Sean, from your end, what is the sensitivity from the talent sensitivity versus the director's sensitivity? How different is that?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
All right. Okay, so are we live, Rob? Yes, sir. Listen, can you imagine we're watching the intro here together, okay, with the great Oliver Stone and his son, Sean, who is here. They're working. Sean just finished up a documentary, All the President's Men, which we'll talk about later on with Tucker, with a bunch of different guys, about Trump. And I'm going through the list.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
While the movie's being shot, you're recording him and talking to him.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
But what I'm saying is, as a director, is a part of the director not being afraid of getting under their skin?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
How do you manage that versus walking on eggshells around you? Was there an element of walking on eggshells around you? And is that okay?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
you're walking on eggshells or the people around you were walking on eggshells so i don't know come on you know what i'm asking because to me that's a good point is is is the idea of keeping the standards so high where the actors coming and saying oh this isn't i gotta deal with him I got to be ready for it. And then, you know, he's going to say something to upset you.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
And again, we had you on March of 2022, which when you were on at that time, the whole Ukraine thing was new. It had just happened. So we started talking about it. And, you know, it was kind of risky to give the opinions and you gave and we talked about it. But again, reminder to everybody what movies you've been a part of. If you don't mind me taking a moment and sharing this. Okay, Wall Street.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Can you speak into the mic?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
What will you say to that person?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
So you did Wall Street One. The main cast is all in two, right? Money Never Sleeps.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Oh, you're right. Charlie just does a cameo, but he is in it at least, right? There is a cameo of him. How much when you were doing Money Never Sleeps, because the movie did so well, did you call Charlie or talk to him and say, hey, here's what I'm thinking about doing. What do you think about this? Or no, hey, Charlie, I'm doing this. I need you to do this.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
That's part of the story. Did that kind of like, hey, what's up, Dad? What's the story all about?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
By the way, I love Josh as well. Josh was great. Josh is phenomenal. And Michael is always underrated, but he was really good in the movie. So the reason why I ask this question, did you watch Gladiator 2?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Yeah. Yes, I did. What did you think about it?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I was so upset after watching two. I was so upset. My wife's like, babe, give it a break. I said, no, babe, I'm... You know why? Because I don't think, you know, I'm not in the world to know it, but with the risk of after you make a movie that's a 10 to come out and do another one. And to me, they show that it was the biggest movie Denzel's ever done money-wise.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
We just watched it with the kids the other day, okay? Writer and director. Wall Street Money Never Sleeps with Shia LaBeouf, director. Midnight Express, writer. Conan the Barbarian, writer. Scarface, writer. Platoon, writer and director. Born on 4th of July, writer, director, producer. JFK, all three. Natural Born Killers, all three. Nixon. By the way, I loved, loved Nixon.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I think it was a quarter of a billion dollars or whatever the money made. I saw the numbers. But I gave it a six and a half at best.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I just, the story was okay, but there was something about it. And the reason why I'm asking this question, because did you see the clip of Russell Crowe being asked about Gladiator 2 and what he said? Have you seen this or no? No. Please tell me neither one of you guys have seen this. Okay, so then I want to get the raw reaction from you. Jesus. Can you pull this up, Rob?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Can you pull up the one I sent you? I texted you the clip. If you can play this clip. He's being asked about Gladiator. This one guy says he's doing a reaction on... Russell Crowe's question about it. And Russell says, oh my God, they better start paying me because, you know, I'm being asked so much about this movie and I'm not even in the movie.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
And the question was right here, if you can play this clip and then I'll just get to it. Go for it, Rob.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
If the part was right, why are you barking up this street for? I'll tell you why. I'll tell you exactly why. The reason why I'm asking this question, Oliver, is because for me, like,
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
gladiator is a top 50 movie of all time my opinion in my opinion you can go and debate movies it's all in the eye of the beholder you know how this works like hey that's my type she says your type you talk to mary i'll talk to jennifer we're scored away right
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
And for you to make the movie, is it normal when a movie is this big of a hit to not even talk to Russell and say, here's what we're... I would have never expected anything to happen with 2 without him not being asked about it. Or is that pretty normal?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Why don't you put a cameo in it, though? Why don't you put something to like a... Well, they did.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I can't believe most people don't watch that. It's such a great, Anthony Hopkins, phenomenal movie with the stories you see. Evita, Any Given Sunday, Alexander Snowden. I can keep going on. Things you've done with Lula, 2024 writer, director, Putin, all the interviews. It's great to have you here again. Oh, that's right. Nuclear energy with Russia, which we'll get into that as well.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
But he knew nothing about what's going to happen with the movie, though. Would you have done it that way, or would you have done it too differently?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Well, I get what you're saying when you're talking to the previous dinosaur, but if you watch Jurassic Park, I don't know if Jurassic Park is tied to an actor that I emotionally was affected by. That's because you're a gladiator. That's the only reason. You don't see the movie. So how do you watch the movie? How different does a guy like you watch a movie? I watch the whole thing.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
You watch the cinematography.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Got it. So you just called me one-dimensional, Oliver. You hurt my feelings. Well, you're a businessman. I'm walking on eggshells around you now, right? I just got the feeling of the stories you tell. But for you, just out of curiosity, what are your favorite movies? What kind of stuff do you like?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
What have you watched the most? The most? The most times. Over and over and over and over again.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Right. I agree, but was there a flick where you guys- But that's the problem.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Enjoy the whole thing. Do you know what movie I watched like God knows how many times that nobody would ever say it's like one of the greatest movies of all time? Cocktails. I swear to God. Cocktails with Tom Cruise and what's his name? Not Christopher. Who's in Cocktails? What's the other guy's name? Yeah, Brian Brown. Oh, my God. He crushed it in that movie, right?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
The barman poet or whatever it was, you know? Well, there's hundreds of those movies. I get that. But to me, that movie I watched in the army probably 200 times. Like we literally at our unit.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
You know what it was? And maybe this is the part about the story because remember, what's the story of Cocktails? It's the story of this guy that's got a dream of one day being a business owner, right? And eventually, what does he do? He opens up Cocktail and Dreams, right? And the restaurant and all this other stuff. And then, hey, I bet you'll never spook me again. I bet I will. What's that?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Oliver, if you want to get a little closer to the mic, that'd be great. But it's great to have you guys here. So let me ask you for you, you know.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
You know, these moments, but... No one, Cocktail is not on anybody's 100 list. I feel like taste is different than criticism, if that makes sense. Criticism is criticizing this movie or that movie versus, now listen, I can watch a movie like that simple over and over again. I love it.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
You have so many cameras. For you, when you think about it yourself, Sean, to you, he's your dad. But I mean, what is it for you when maybe we miss it? What do you think is the most impressive thing he's done in his career?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Oh, I fully agree. I agree. To me, it's the moments of Rocky IV. You know why I watched that movie so many times? My mother's side, they were communists. They were all part of the two-day party. Two-day party back in the days. You may know the two-day party from back in the days. They were communists. My dad, imperialist. So watching Rocky... you know, is mom and dad.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Can communists and Americans come together, right? Can these two guys find a way to agree? Didn't happen. They got married and divorced twice to each other, right? But there's a story to it. So for me, Rocky IV, I watched it in Iran in Farsi. Think about how Rocky sounds speaking Farsi, right?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Because that's how we would, when you would buy it, the guy would sell it to you with a guy that speaks Farsi. Now, I agree with you. 80s, to me, not only some of the best movies, but I think 80s is also Days of Thunder. You know, 80s music. 80s music is the best. I think it's the best decade of music, period.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
So maybe, let me go a different angle here, question-wise, for you guys. Yeah, Oliver. Sports. Are you a sports guy? Do you like sports? Okay. Sean, are you also sports? You're a big guy yourself.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Is it just football or is it all sports? All sports. Okay, so, you know, when you talk about guys that play two sports, Brian Jordan, Deion Sanders, you know, you got a few of these, Bo Jackson, right? You got like a handful of these guys that did both and they did pretty well. Deion's probably one of the better ones that was able to- Michael Jordan tried it.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Michael Jordan tried it, but Deion actually succeeded. Deion was great. Deion was great on both, Braves and all the stuff that he did. But the question is, in movie- Is it a different sport to go from making movies to making documentaries, or is it the same sport?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
From your perspective, not ours.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
But is it common for guys at your level? There's only a handful of you guys to do movies and to do docs. That's what I mean. Is that a multi-sport type of thing?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Yeah, I mean, I'm just trying to find out, like, you know, Justin Timberlake is a triple threat. He can sing, act, and dance, when they talk about that. Those are different skill sets. I don't know if Denzel can dance, and I don't know if Denzel can sing. So, okay, maybe he's not in that sense, A triple threat, right? That's what I'm saying. At this level, is it, I'm just making movies.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I'm not doing documentaries, okay? For me to go do both is not common at this level. That's why I thought, I mean, I'm asking a question about whether it's two separate sports to be played. And, you know, Oliver, what gets you to say, I want to make this movie or I want to, what is the first spark that I want to write about this? I want to go... pursue this and maybe even do a documentary on it.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
What's the first spark that gets you interested?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
But again, so what got you to want to do that?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
This is disgusting. Right. This is why, you know, Rob, this is U.S. nuclear power capacity.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
additions by your initial operations don't go by the u.s you should go by china or russia that's a good point so your china and russia is a different story but this is for us right so for you that did the documentary do you have the other one as well rob that we we went away from it for a while whether you want to call it oh that's for sure yeah whatever the reasons are well because of the uh all the fear it was a fear that drove us away from it
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
This is the one that answers your question for you. Construction starts of nuclear reactors in the world. From 51 to today, the orange is China. From 95, if you look at 85, 89, you barely see one or two in China and other countries. Majority of those are us. And then when you come to the last 10 years, majority of it is China. Last 20 years. And the rest of the world isn't doing anything.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
You saw him being born. He did. He did. That's cool. So what do you think it is? What do you think it is from your end? Because for us, again, as fans, you're on the inside.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Well, they are doing.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
It's interesting when you're going into something like this, because for me, like, you know, it's getting into a business. We run nine companies. Okay. So, all right. So nine goes, how do you get into this company? You find a problem and then you look for the solution on how you would fix it. That's maybe different than others. And then what demo are people not in?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
And then maybe use a certain strategy, blue ocean strategy that, you know, Hey, they're not in this market or whatever. And then you make the adjustments. In a movie sense, what is that process? What is the process of doing a movie or doing a documentary? Is it let me see what story hasn't been told? Or is it, man, I like the story. I'm going to write a script.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
What's that process of starting a business? Because each movie, I remember sitting down with Aaron Spicer. He said each movie is a business. That's right. You're an entrepreneur. You've got to look at every movie as a business, right? Yeah. So what is the process of saying the next business I'm going to build is is going to be Wall Street. The next business we're going to build is going to be XYZ.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
What is that process?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
One film for himself and one film for Hollywood. Right. And Hollywood is the money one. For himself, it's the art. Right. That's what he said, at least. Interesting. Would you agree with that? Like that format?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
He's found his way. You're a disagreeable man is the feeling I get, which is needed to be a strong man. That's a compliment. I don't say that in a... The only reason you would be willing to entertain these documentaries or movies is because you don't give a shit what the market thinks. You're trying to find out what you're interested in, right? My impression... I follow my heart.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Yeah, that's exactly the point. So to me, one of the qualities of an alpha male... is that you disagree, you debate. You're like, no, I don't know if I agree with that. I don't think that's the right way to go about it, right? So when you did go through Scorsese and you're learning from whoever it is, were you at any point as a young man coming to want to get into space?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I don't know if I agree with that. I wouldn't do it that way. Did you have those moments as a young man? In his class? Not that, no, because I was learning the trade.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
So your father, you're talking Lewis, your grandfather Lewis? Okay. So I just looked it up right now. He passed away March 16th, 85. Right. Next year it'll be 40 years. What movie did he get a chance to see? Did he get a chance to see anything, any of your work or no? Not the features.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Did he watch Scarface? Yeah, yeah, sure you did. What did he say about it? He got a kick out of him. But when you watched it with him, were you uncomfortable? Were you like watching him watch it or no? Were you just, hey, here's the art we made, let's watch it?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Did you write Wall Street based on stories he would tell you from Wall Street or no?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
It all changed. Yeah. And later on, the movie that a lot of guys watch that was, you know, form of Wall Street was Boiler Room, right? Where the J.T. Marlin, I don't know, I think that's what it was called. They quoted a lot of Wall Street.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Marlin or whatever. Yeah, that's right. That's right. So this was a first time, you know, we got a chance to watch Vin Diesel on what he did. You know, Noah Wood or whatever the call was. Ben Affleck, you know, talking about his... You know, Ferrari, this is my house, this is my this, this is my that. It's a phenomenal movie, but it shows the world of penny stock.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
And I think I even remember somebody saying this was depicting what Jordan Belfort did that later on ended up being the Wolf of Wall Street. I read that somewhere. I may be wrong. That's true.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Did he ever inspire you to want to do a movie on him or a documentary on him?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
So you wouldn't have interest in doing a movie like that? I'd love to see you do something on Joseph Kennedy.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
why why you are you what angle do you think are you kidding me like if there's a yeah so if I ever wanted to get into in two to five years we're going to get into movies not right now we're building this whole thing we're going to you know build the Burbank of east coast here in Fort Lauderdale we think that's a great market for it I suggest a book if you're interested in Joe Kennedy there's a wonderful book fiction by Richard Condon who wrote Manchurian candidate it's called Mile High
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Mile high. What does it say? Rob, can you send that to me so I can buy it? I'm looking right now. That's a great story. That'd be great. It's a wonderful story. Is it called Seat of Destruction? No, Mile High. I don't see Mile High anywhere. But anyways, if you find it, send it to me. Richard Condon, C-O-N-D-O-N. Come on, Rob, you find everything.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Oh, wow. Oh, there you go. Yeah, send it over to me. That'd be great. So it's an older book that was written. Nothing wrong with that. No, I love it. I don't have any problem with that. That's why you're here. I'm borrowing your wisdom. But Joseph Kennedy, why not, right? To me... like what is a bigger last name than the Kennedy last name? Who was the visionary behind it?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
The amount of stories of him sitting down with the kids at night, who's going to be the president, all these different things you hear about and never wanted to get, at least from the books I read, didn't want to give credit to the family that he came from, a family of money where he wanted to kind of, there's some of those stories that comes out that he went to Harvard, president of a bank, 28 years old,
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Laura Swanson. I don't know. I think it's a very interesting story. I think it's a very, very interesting story. And it's got such a long lifespan that it's an 80 years into... Yeah, but that's hard for movies. Remember that. I know. So you have to go like 20 years, right? You have to go like to a scene. Is that kind of... No rule. No rule at all.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
But why are you saying it's hard to do it like that? Because of the span, the time span. So then you can pick an era to go through, right? But you just limited it. then if you're gonna make it, I trust you to do it. I'm not. You gotta find your significant points that you wanna make.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Yeah, I just think that guy is one of the biggest power players we had in America, and he'd be a very interesting guy to study. I think the new era doesn't know as much about him to realize the impact he made.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Is it 312? Yeah, it's a long movie. But I could not stop watching that film to learn the history and the acting and the 312. Wow, you know the exact minute. That's pretty wild that you know the minute.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I can't tell you that one. Okay. All right. Well, listen, your thoughts, with all these total amount of hours you put into the JFK assassination story, investigating it, right? All the hours that you put into it, okay? Yeah.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
There's this guy that just, I don't know if you've been following it closely. I'm sure you're very busy making movies, so maybe you're not following the news. There's this guy named Donald J. Trump that just became this guy, this thing they call in America. What do you mean I don't follow the news? Right? And, you know, Bobby is now involved. He's got a pretty heavy job, right? Yeah, I know Bobby.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522

Twice in exile, you know, living in France, Paris, making tapes that they're spreading all over Iran, spreading the message. Very, very interesting what happened with that. And the Shah had the 25-year all-year agreement that they had from 54 to 79 that was expiring. So these guys had a meeting because they knew when it, he was about to be a very, very powerful man.

And that was a concern of theirs, of what happened there. But I wonder, like, some of these, for you, like, do you have selfish reasons on things, you know, like even right now, it just happened where I said I can't find a book. And it's a mile high. Richard Condon, can you go look it up? He looks at it and says, here we go. We found it, right?

conspiracy theorists, you know, they're all, you know, MAGA and all this other stuff, you know, for you. And they went through this.

That's what they like. Hour 45. Hour 40 even. Well, I mean, what do they prefer? Do they prefer a three-hour hit that gets hundreds of people coming in or an hour 45 that, you know, five people show up?

There is proof. I don't know what word he used, but saying the fact that we have proof that there was collusion.

But it worked, though, if you think about it. It worked on so many people. Yeah, it worked. But what did you learn at the end of it? You're spending time. Kash Patel has now got the head of FBI job, right? Yeah. Steve Bannon, who strategically, that guy's brain, the amount of credit he gets on the right for being strategic, he's up there, right?

What they did to most of these guys, now they're in there, right? What was it at the end for you? I'm assuming you didn't vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020. Is that a fair assessment?

but already dead. Well, I mean, election for sure, but that's one term, right? But do you think this is going to be the types of an event that happened with Barry Goldwater, 60-64, where Democrats, Republicans lost the African-American vote for decades and from 60, 64% of African-Americans voted Democrat. The rest were conservative or independent.
PBD Podcast

Four years later, it went from 60% to 92% voting Democrat, and they got the black vote for 60 years. Do you think this was so monumental that Democrats may have had a blow to them that could last decades, or do you think it's just one term?

What makes, because for you, we were talking and the audience doesn't see this. And I said, guys, let's go, let's go because we're already having a podcast, right? And what did you say? You said you want all of it to be, what was the word you used? You said authentic or you want it to be, you used some word where he said he just wanted to be off the cuff.

Netanyahu.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Why do you think they're able to do that? Why do you think they're able to do that? Because the part about the dual citizenship, when you ask somebody who is pro-Israel Zionist, they'll say the reason why... we have the dual citizenship is because when Israel became a country, they want a lot of Americans to go back, but they didn't want to give up their U S citizenship.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
So they made it where you could have dual citizenship. So that's the argument for that.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
But what I want to ask you, Because in order to be able to do that, okay, so you're in a space where the controversy came out about Harvey, right, in Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein. And for the longest time, you saw pictures of Michelle Obama. You know, Harvey Weinstein is such a, you know, I don't know if you have this clip or not, Rob.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
And I said, yeah, that's interesting because in your world, do it again. Second take, third take, fourth take. What's the most takes you've ever done in a scene? Not that many.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
It's such a wonderful, you know, beacon of, I mean, she would use some words that you talk about a Billy Graham type, right? Is that the one, Rob? Can you play this clip? You know, go back and play the clip.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Wonderful.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
You see this, right? You see Oprah. You see all these guys in Hollywood. Hillary. All of these guys that would say stuff about Harvey Weinstein. What a freaking great guy. And then all of a sudden, Why are people saying all this stuff? What control does he have over everybody? You want a job in Hollywood? You want a job in this? You got to go, no, no, no, no, no. And then disruption shows up.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Oh, shit. Now everybody wants to throw him under the bus. What happened to those 30 years you said nothing about? Sure. What happened? Because he had power and control. So this is where I'm going with it. He had leverage. The leverage was if you want a job, you got to do X, Y, Z. For me, and I'm a boss, okay? I'm not in the world. I've read about it just like what everybody else has read about it.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
If Israel is Israel, AIPAC, all of these guys, right? And, you know, Sachs, the interview that was done with Tucker, you know, there's many of these right now that are coming up. If they have this much power, what leverage do they have to be able to constantly negotiate more favorably for themselves over the American people?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
When did that happen, though?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
And by the way, you know what I'll say to that? So here's... I trust my enemies very well. By the way, I trust my enemies more than I trust my friends sometimes. You know why? Because what does your enemy think about next movie coming up? I don't know the competitive space. I'm assuming there's competition with... your name and all these other guys that are making movies, right?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I'm assuming the competition, if they can find a way to have 7,500 negative reviews written on Rotten Tomatoes about a movie you come out with, I'm assuming the dirty enemy would probably do something like that to hurt you, right? Yeah.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I'm assuming the enemy would do whatever they can that I'm trying to raise a billion dollars from somebody or half a billion dollars from somebody to find a way for that deal to not get done if it becomes public, right? I've experienced this with guys.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
When I was trying to sell my company, the enemy would call the guy that wanted to buy the company and say, hey, you sure you want to go through this? And then boom. We were able to get the deal done and we sold it for a quarter of a billion dollars, okay? But I know, I trust the enemy. All I'm trying to ask, I'm not surprised that Israel did that. Good for them that they're doing that.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I applaud you for being a good negotiator. Great. But all I'm asking is, if America, you read these books, you know, and we've all read these books. When you go through the book, the question I want to ask is, what leverage do they have for America to continue to cave when negotiating. We also want this, and this, and that, and this. Okay, okay, that's not how negotiation works.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Like earlier, we were talking about when you're signing a talent, right? Hey, I want six massages a day. I want my gym to be here. I want that, I want this. No, at some point, we're not doing that. But what leverage does this person have for you to say yes to 80% of their requests? What are we getting in exchange to say yes to this? And no matter how many people I ask that question of,
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I don't know if I disagree with that. But I think the question I ask is, The leverage, what leverage should it have? Is it just money? Is it really just money? What about APAC?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
But even if you go with that, right, and you look at how much APAC gives, for example, okay. And again, I'm just playing devil's advocate here to get to the bottom of the argument. You always do. Yeah, and I enjoy that. I think that's the right way to be. But think about Elon Musk, right? Okay, so how much did APAC give? Total contribution 2024. Can you pull that up, Rob?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Are you frustrated?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I actually don't know the number.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
So pro-Israel, is this AIPAC? Two Republicans, they gave $2.2 million. Two Democrats, they gave $2.2 million. So a total of $4.4 million and they gave it to pro-Israel PAC candidates. So they give $29,000 more to Republicans than Democrats. Not a big difference. But can you tell me, look up total how much money AIPAC gave to everybody last year. Total money AIPAC gave. In 2024. In 2024.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Yeah, just typing in 2024. I actually just want to know. I guess you pulled the first one out. It's the same number? Really? So the number is how much? Okay, they give $2.4 million in lobbying. The amount of contribution they got was $43 million. Okay, that's a PAC. By the way, I thought the number was in the billions. So $43 million.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Can you go type in how much Elon Musk gave Donald Trump to a PAC?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
So watch this. Elon Musk spends $277 million to back Trump and Republican candidates. realistically, one could say that's 50 times more, right? 55 times more. So again, for me, I really want to know. You're ignoring the concept of influence and how long APAC is going to run. I don't think it's the right number you're pulling up because I think, Rob, they spent $25 million to get rid of Bowman.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
So that's why I don't think that's the right number. Type in how much did APAC spend to get rid of Bowman. Can you just Google that? Go for it.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Well, the NGOs are the ones that we don't know who the contributors are, right? The NGOs which, okay, there it is, that one right there. AIPAC has spent over $100 million on 2024 elections. That's the number I want to see. So very bad sign for democracy. AIPAC has spent over $100 million. AIPAC billionaire funded. Super PAC has helped defeat two of the most vocal,
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
opponents of Israel, which one of them was, yeah, Jamal Bowman. And they spent a lot of money to get rid of that guy. How much was it to get rid of him? Can you pull up that number? I don't know why I think it was $25 million. Could have been a little bit more than that. But the reason why I'm making this argument is I'm making the argument to say,
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Some may not say anything about Ilan because maybe Ilan is supporting what you support. It's like, okay, hey, great. And by the way, I'm pro-Ilan. I like what Ilan is doing. But all I'm trying to say is I get the frustration with the Israeli. I lived in Iran, so I have my own story with Muslims. I saw what that was like. And I witnessed it every day, 11 years.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I went to Germany, lived at a refugee camp. There's a lot of Muslims there, a lot of them, Pakistani, Afghanis, a lot of them, okay? I saw what happened there. I've had an insurance company I built from zero to 60,000 agents. We have a lot of Muslims in the company. Guess what? Phenomenal experience. I had the experience there. But it's not... 100% across the board with everybody, right?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
America's 13% black. Our agency was 24% black. America's 24% Hispanic. Our agency was 51% Hispanic when we built the insurance agency. And I got a chance to watch these guys because we're in 50 states. But sometimes, you know, it's... it can go in a direction where I just want to know what is their leverage? Is the leverage holding people hostage? I wrote a book, fiction book called The Academy.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
And The Academy is about a secret society that's been around for a couple thousand years that they recruit young kids and they build them into the future leaders of the world. Many presidents, many have gone through this. you know, secret society called the Academy.

And one of the stories in there is about the villain is a former deputy director of SAVAK in Iran under the Shah, who left early and he was working with the Shah. His name is Parviz Sabeti. I think if you can look him up, it's a very common American name. Rob, you should be able to spell that out easily. And this deputy director of SAVAK, who ends up having some of the qualities of the villain,
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
eventually finds me, okay? And he reaches out to me. He says, you wrote a book. I said, yes. He reads the book. Type in P-A-R-V-I-Z, and then P-A-R-V-I-Z, right, P-A-R-V-I-Z, right there, okay. So this is him. He was a former deputy director of SAVAG. And... You know, you watch documentaries on him and what the SAVAK did in Iran.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
so the director goes through some hells what you know when when you when you see stuff for for again for us who were not in it we see the christian bale loses mind clip right i don't know if you've seen it or not right we you ever seen christian bale getting upset at the camera guys at the light guys you know have you seen that on terminator uh three or four right he flipped out he was he wasn't really happy with film in general i think that he was it was not his kind of movie right

You know, these guys had, well, some of it is awful, but some of it is, you know, where they were the CIA, the Mossad, the, you know, so all of it can be said awful. CIA, Mossad, you know, SAVAK, MI6. They were all training them too, the Mossad and CIA. So we can say all of them are awful, right? They've all been trained by. And then you hear what he was able to record with MOLOS.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
and Hezbollahs, who were these clergy, and then he would get stuff with women. And so he had this footage on them, right? And that's a form of hostage. You better say this or else. I'm trying to find out, is there anything Israel has as a leverage? I'm not just saying Blackman, that's one of the forms.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I asked him. He was very gray, and he was uncomfortable answering that. We did a two-hour podcast. He did tell me that he had a mentor. Who's the mentor that he talked about Epstein? Do you remember the mentor he brought up? He talked about a mentor that taught Epstein everything. And then when I brought it up, he got very, very uncomfortable very quickly. That guy right there. Steven Hoffenberg.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
I don't know if you've ever heard of this guy or not. He helped... He was one of the guys that apparently played a role of a mentor, but there was another guy as well, Rob. Epstein's mentor right there.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Yeah, he was found dead. Jeffrey Epstein convicted fraudster, found dead in his apartment. But meaning he learned his model. So on the Epstein side, Mark never told me anything about Mossad. I asked him, I said, were you also Mossad himself? He was uncomfortable answering that directly. I wouldn't be surprised. But that's the question. My biggest question is the leverage. What did they have?
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522

So the angle you're taking with him is the moment you realize what happened to his brother in Uganda, which was the only one you're saying that died, from that moment on, this went from being... you know, just a job or a career that I'm going to do because I love Israel to...

to that level of power, you almost need something like this to get to that level. I mean, look at Trump. He doesn't drink any alcohol. Why not? You know the story with his brother Fred, right?

Well, this is a key moment then in history, isn't it? But I don't think – here's my impression of Trump. I was on Jesse Waters two nights ago, and I said, you know what happens when you're handsome, rich, and met every famous celebrity in the world? You know what edge you have? One, no girl can sway you because you've been around beautiful women your entire life.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Number two, there's nothing you can give him financially for him to be, ooh, oh, my God, what a great painting, all this, nothing. so he can't buy him. And number three is he's not enamored by anybody. There is no celebrity he's going to meet where he's going to be like, oh, my God, I can't believe I'm.
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Well, I think, but I think after he does what he does. But don't give it to him like Obama prematurely. But I think one thing with him, every single time I've heard him talk about Netanyahu, it's always the will see. And that's key. I hope so. Because we'll see is the pressures on who? You. Yeah. Bibi. Meaning you can't try to abuse this relationship.
PBD Podcast

PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522
Well, again, it goes back to seeing if there's one thing we learned from Trump in first term, he's not a guy that likes war. He's just not a fan of it. And how many people he said the other day in an interview,
PBD Podcast
Russia vs Ukraine, JFK Assassination, Trump vs Deep State w/ Oliver & Sean Stone | PBD Podcast | Ep. 522

This world you guys are in... words matter, technicalities, right? Right. So for you, John, is it the fact that you went and met with the feds because you were civilian and had left alive, you didn't feel guilty for meeting with them? Is that how you process it?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Is the outcome of this conviction that I'm listening to you, the last 30, 40 minutes, is this because it's important to you to clear your rep that maybe some are calling you?

Right. I don't know the guy. He calls me and we go to a nice Italian restaurant. And the next thing we do, I interview him. He asked me to cover his face so it's not shown. Why?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Because he did some maybe... surgeries that he didn't want his face to be seen or whatever made men. Like your father did? He had stories that he said about Nicky Scarfo, right? And then we had Ralph Natalidel there. And then he told his stories. Then we had Frank Collado, no longer with us, the late Frank Collado. And he was part of the Spallatra crew, I believe.

And I think this goes credit to the life, you know, which whatever the orientation is, when you're being indoctrinated in this world, whatever that is, whoever explained the pain of Omerta, they did such a great job selling it.

To the person that's not in this world, we're not in it. We're just watching and it's interesting stories. But there is this pride to say, this is why I had the meeting with Feds. And what is consistent amongst everybody across the board, none of them like them. They all are not fans of the government, and they all feel like the story has been told in a different way.

I'm talking to the audience. But that's a part of it, why we have something in America, which is fantastic, which is called debate. And the reason why I bring this up is if I'm watching, like the way I watch interviews, John,
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
is when a conversation is taking place, I'm saying, ask this. Ask this. This is my question. I'm the audience. Ask me the question I want to ask. The question I would ask is the following. I think the question fans will want to ask. If you're willing to meet with the Feds for 40 minutes, why don't you meet with Sammy? By the way, Sammy also doesn't want to do it. I can't.

And many others we talked about, the history, New York today versus the past, the two presidents he was very complimentary about, his family, himself, what he's doing now since he's been out for 15 years, how aggressively – how negative and critical he was about the U.S. government and the RICO system. We talked about that a lot.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Sure, of course, yeah.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Wow. So he was hated more by the government than by the mob. He was actually friendly with the mob.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Yeah, that's wild. I mean, when you hear stories about this guy, there's so many documentaries on him and interesting books on him. He's a very unique character. Yeah. Very interesting to read about. Going back, John, I think... I'm going to be sure to watch that. I think it'll be entertaining, especially for you to watch. Absolutely.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Going back, when I go through the story, and I think about the young John, yourself, with your father. Right. Is it true that the first time you met your father, you were eight years old?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Meaning he wasn't jailed.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
In your first eight years, how long was he out?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Anyways, it'll be a historic type of a interview where, when I mean historic, if you've been watching the other interviews in the past of the mobsters I've had on, Michael Francis, Sammy Frankolata, Oscar Goodman, you know, Phil Leonetti, Ralph Natal, there's a lot of them. You're definitely going to love this. But if you're somebody that's also...
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
So 13 years old, he's only been with you for four years in the house. When you come home, you see him. Yeah. And at this point, you still don't know what he's doing. You don't know what business he's in.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519

a person who fancies with movies like Godfather or Goodfellas or Power Plays or Strategies or Communication, he's going to make a case to you where for the last two hours, you're going to think you're sitting down with a lawyer making an argument. The question is, do you buy it or do you find some leaks in his argument? You will be the judge of that.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
That makes sense because even back, I mean, there's not internet. It's not like you're on TikTok. John Gotti, you know, is back in, you don't have access to that, right? You're living in this community.

When I try to, you know, over the years, when you read about your father. Right. So many different stories written about him, right? Persona, personality, King of New York, all this stuff, you know, all these great nicknames that he has.

“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
For me, one day my dad and I are sitting down and we're having a conversation. He's watching all these mob interviews. He says, what do you think about these guys? They did this and they did that and they killed and they did this. And I said, yeah, I mean, that's the life they were raised in. He says, well, you know, I could never kill anybody. I could never do this. I could never do that.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
I'm like, look, at the time, he had only one grandkid and daughter, I mean, Grace. I said, what would you do? What are you capable of if somebody does something to your granddaughter? You just see my dad like... you know, suddenly gets the rage going, right? And he says, I'd be capable of doing anything to protect my granddaughter. I said, totally, totally right.

“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
The story with Joseph Kennedy, Joseph Kennedy for me is one of the guys I really like to study on because He's the guy that could have been a gangster. Some say he was a gangster. For him to be able to build a family. You're talking about the father or son? The father, the father, Joseph Kennedy, the OG OG. That's right.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
That's right. That's right. I mean, he was, you know, later on he became the, you know, chairman of SEC. And I think it was all these different things that he did.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
But something happened to him when his oldest son died. Right? When that took place. It changed him.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
The story about your, I think it's your younger brother. My brother Frankie Boy, yeah. Frankie. What happened to Frankie and what influence did that have on your father?

“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
So the history of America is filled with a lot of different last names. If your name is Kennedy, you know you're going to be tied to the Kennedy family. You got Trump's, you got Bush, you got Rockefeller. But when it comes down to this last name and first name, you know where it goes. And it's John Gotti. And today, after I think six years of us trying to do this interview. Seven.

“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Frankie's room is still the same.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Is it when that took place, and I'm wondering, like, is that what got... Did anything about his temperament, rage, anything change? And I've read a lot of different things about the story of the individual. Was it intentional? Was it accidental? Did you ever get to the bottom of what this accident... You know, I don't know all the particulars...
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Is it seven years? Seven years. We're finally doing this, John.

This is a miracle. At the fight. At my son Johnny's fight. At the fight. That's right. Good memory. Yes, at the fight. His pro debut. I remember that. And I had something going, I don't know what it was. I'm like, he was talking to Chris, but it's great to have you here.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
So the speculation is that it may have been somebody, like he may have been directly involved in him being missing four months later.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Not surprised.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
What did you that I heard you say something. You said something about if you were a prosecutor, if you were a cop, you know, what did he love? What did he fear? What did he hate?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
It's great to have you. It's an honor. Yes, likewise. And you know, for me, when I accidentally got into this world of interviewing, you know, the world and different folks, And it was always, Pat, you got to get John. You got to get John. You got to get John. I'm like, look, we got to figure out a way to make this work. And I'm glad we finally did.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Yeah, that's, and by the way, while you were there, at the peak of your father's popularity, where he can't walk anywhere, who else at this time is, who else are the kings of New York at the time? Would you put Trump at that level or not yet? Trump, I mean, 80s, he is already, right? He's established.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
I got so many things I want to talk to you about. I mean, your history, family, things that are going on today. Things that are going on both politically, how some things are legal today that used to be illegal, where some of the stuff that the life was doing. But starters, just very basic question before we get into the story. John, how much of the life still exists today?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Yeah, there was a story I think Sammy did. Sammy DiBolli says, we tried to buy him out and we couldn't do it. He turned us down and- Well, I could tell you this much.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
For sure, yeah.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Many times. Some say just happened.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Like, are they still acting like active gangsters, mobsters in America? You know, I'm so far removed.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Now, when you're talking, you know this? You and your mother, you know this?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
What was the name?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Can I ask you a question? So for me, when I did that interview, I go to New York all the time. I love New York. I love the people. I get along with the people. And later on in life, when I did Ancestry, when you find out what your background's all about, apparently I'm 18% Italian. Someone in my family hooked up with an Italian we don't know about, right? So I've always gotten along with Italians.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
I go to New York and you have to, you would be like, how could you interview Sammy? He is lying. He's this, he's that. And then I would have some guys that would come up to me and say, but look, you heard the recording, you know, recording when John kind of threw Sammy under the bus. And what I'm saying to you is in the recording. So Sammy- John should have killed Sammy, quite frankly.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
What happened to Frankie and what influence did that have on your father?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Well, that's what Sammy said he thought he was going to kill him.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
This is Mikey Scars or no?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Who sang this, Sammy?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
John, let me, is it fair to say, you know, for the audience that's watching this, Rightfully so. You have to defend 100% your father, nothing, you know, so emotionally. And always will. And by the way, no one expects anything different, right? Right, right. Now, you know, for the viewer who is not emotionally connected, like I remember when I interviewed Sammy, your sister came after me.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
I don't know if you remember the, you know, I've never watched the interview. Okay, well, I'll tell you.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
I don't do it. Well, I think that's good for you because it's more peaceful. I just don't do it. But, I mean, I got tweets after tweets. You realize what, you know, all this stuff. And I'm like, okay, messages, phone calls, all this stuff. But for somebody that's not attached to it emotionally, did you ever listen to the recording? You know, the recording that they say where your father is.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
I have them.

“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Tony Provenzano?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah. Did Gravano tell you how he became a rat? You would never call him that to his face. Sammy said, once a mafioso, you're a mafioso for life. Is he still a mafioso, he thinks?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Wait, what do you mean by that?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
So you know what it does. Like in life, I get judged for who I befriend. I get judged for who I marry. We get judged for choices we make, investments, all this other stuff. But then you also get judged for who you make your right-hand guy. Your dad made him the underboss.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
So if he is who you say he is, Sam, that means your dad's a bad judge of character because the underboss is like... I mean, it's who John, wasn't John that too, who was the underboss with Paul Castellano before, you know, he was taken out of state?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Do you think the situation where he put a hit on Paul Castellano, you think that was the right move? You said two bad moves, right? Gambling, and you said Sammy. But how about the hit on Paul?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
I've seen both movies.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Wait, you're saying now that Your father didn't tell Sammy to go do the job to take out Paul?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
That's a very interesting twist right there. It is. For me, this stuff, I understand the emotional stuff that when it's blood, it's blood. And not just blood, admiration for father. You're not going to be able to... I adore my father. That's exactly the point. So there's no winning there. But at the same time... You get judged for hiring him. You get judged for promoting him.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
And I would assume when it comes later on, like let's just say if you got the job of being a boss by taking out your boss, let's just say if that's the story that we see in the world,
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
What I'm saying is, you know, for what's been documented and the people you sit down and talk to who were maybe in that world where they were that age, I've sat with a lot of different people who are older, would come to me, you know, Ralph Natale and Philly and Nettie and Francise, and I had a chance.

“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
to one time, I had three visits with Sonny Francis, Michael's father, who did, I think, 55 years in jail. I think he died at 103 or 104 years.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
That's what everybody says. Like, he was a guy that was, Omerta was like the face of Omerta. He would not break four.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
I took him to an Italian restaurant. And John, I got to tell you, I'm trying to get him to say, Sonny, I'm his driver. I'm driving him to his favorite Italian restaurant. I came and got him from the old, I think it's like an old folks home. And Michael's there and we're going out. His lawyer's there. I don't know what we went to. I can figure out the name to see where it was.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
But we went there for three hours, nothing. When I tell you nothing, John. Did he say anything? No, he spoke. Oh, okay. But I told him, tell me about Meyer. Good guy. Tell me about Bugsy. You would never call him that to his face. I'm sorry. He's Mr. Siegel to you. Tell me about this. Tell me about that, right?
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
But in the world, if you come up fast in the limelight and showmanship and all this stuff, You know, like the movie, American Gangster, which is a story of Frank Lucas, where, you know, Denzel is like, hey, why'd you give me that jacket? I don't want to be seen. I don't want to have this, right? And sometimes, you know, the criticism is the fact that he was seen all the time.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
So he was, in my mind, when I'm asking Sammy, Was he at a point that he's worried that Sammy's about to take him out to do to him what he may have done to Paul? Listen. That was my understanding.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Do you think... I remember one time, Sammy and I were speaking, and the story was about the fact that, you know, when... Let's just say you're running a business.

And, you know... I'm the guy that's not golfing six days a week. And I'm not even saying that's just an analogy. So I'm a guy that I started a company. I'm rich now. I'm worth 50 million. I'm golfing six days a week. I'm going to the spa. Maybe I'll come and check out the office and all this stuff. But my right-hand guy is the one that goes and checks on everybody. He's there every day.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
And he's at the office six days a week. Now the crew, the field, the customers, the clients are closer to him than they're closer to the one at the top that's the famous guy. Do you think something like that happened with Sammy and your father? You know what I'm saying? The shaking hands.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
Was it risky beating him or no? No. Like if you beat him, he'd pay you and he wouldn't be upset.

“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519
And while I finished this book a year ago, I got the strangest phone call about one of the characters in a book where the guy wanted to meet with me and he read the book and afterwards was like, wait a minute, am I the villain in the book? This is a story about a character named Asher, who is half Armenian, half Assyrian, whose father was involved

in the Iranian revolution linked to Savak working with the Shah that they escape and he gets recruited to a secret society. Well, when you go to the secret society, it's been around for a couple thousand years, they've developed some of the craziest leaders of all time and they test you. There's unique tests that they have at the society where they test to see your emotional mental toughness.
PBD Podcast
“Should’ve Had Him Killed” - John Gotti Jr Finally OPENS UP On His Father, Gravano & Gambino Family | PBD Podcast | Ep. 519

Yet it is still surprising to hear him attach his views to a topic that was already explosive enough in 2003, the sexual charge against Copeland.

I want you to watch president's body language here when he's being asked about drones. You know his language when he's playful. You know his language when he's having fun. You know his language when he's prepared for tough questions. None of those body language are you going to feel here. But I want you to watch this, not from what he's saying. Watch his mannerisms.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Okay. All right. Well, that's that. We'll see what's going to happen. Listen, if on day one he pardons, how many people are in jail right now for J6? What's the number?
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
How many are in jail for J6 right now? For a long time. For a long time. I think he will. 562 have been sentenced to periods of incarceration. He will, approximately 9,400, have had their case. Adjudicated and received sentences for the government. Okay. He has claimed, if I'm not mistaken, that he's going to pardon every one of those guys on day one. I hope so. Okay. On day one.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
So we'll see what will happen with that on day one. Okay. Next story here on what's going on with... Costs of raising a child, twice as high in some states as others. Rob, can you pull up the story on – oh, there's not a video on this. Okay. So the annual cost of raising a child varies widely across the U.S. with Massachusetts being the most expensive, $35,841 per year per child. Damn.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
You have three kids. It costs you $100,000 a year just to raise a kid. This is after-tax money.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
That's after-tax money. That means you've got to make $200,000, pay half in taxes to be able to afford to raise three kids. Larger by child care costs of $21,000. In contrast, in Mississippi, it's $16,000. Significantly lower cost of child care, $4,700. The lifetime cost of raising a child between the two states is a staggering difference of $439,000.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Additional housing expenses for raising a child are the highest in Hawaii. $61.88. California, $55.73. While food and medical costs remains other significant contributors across states. For instance, in Hawaii, food costs $24.81 annually, while New York records medical costs at $24.42. Child care alone exceeds $15,000 in annual states. In Hawaii, $19,592. Connecticut, $19,554.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
and creating a stark contrast to states like Arkansas that's only $7,300 and Louisiana $7,800, where the total annual cost remains under $18,000. Tom, when you see a number like this, okay, how many different states have you lived in for more than a year, you personally?

Right. Okay. So California, Florida, and Texas, right? If you're a family that is looking at numbers like this, you're in places like New York, California, Boston, you want a fighting chance. What do you do if you want to have kids and at the same time you see what's going on with the cost of living?
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Very quiet, Tom. Things just got very, very quiet. So, no, I'm looking at this. Meanwhile, our friend Humberto in the back is, I think, asking for some paid leave, Rob, if you want to pull up one of the... You know which one I'm talking about, Rob. If you can pull this up, watch this here. Paid maternity leave in the West. Sweden, 15 months at 80% pay. Norway, 46 weeks.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
That's almost a year at 100% pay. Germany, 14 weeks. That's four months, right, at 100% pay. Then France, 16 weeks, 100% pay. Spain, 16 weeks, 100% pay. Czech, 28 weeks, 70% pay. Brazil, 17 weeks, 100% pay. Colombia, 18 weeks, 100% pay. Guatemala, 12 weeks, 100% pay. And U.S., zero weeks. The U.S. is the only developed country in the world with no federal maternity leave.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Yeah, exactly. I mean, if you're smart. Yeah. I mean, you know, sometimes when I see charts like this, what it makes me think about, here's what it makes me think about. Okay, Rob, let's do, let's do something. Let's do something. Can you go to every one of those countries and see how many babies they're having per year? The women in those countries, how many kids are having per year?
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Because this data could be like, well, this is why they're having more kids than us. Maybe you're right. Let's see. Let's check every one of these guys and let's check all the countries to see if they're really having more. More kids than we are, Rob. So just go one at a time. What did Sweden tell us? Sweden says how many? Sweden is the lowest number of birds in the last decade. Wow.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
So it doesn't make a difference if you're doing that. Go to the next one, which is who? Norway, 1.4. 1.4, 2.1 is what you need for your population to grow. U.S. is at 1.7, and they're at 1.4. Go to the next one. Go to the next one. What's Germany at? Maybe Germany is a very big number, and they're just absolutely crushing it. Again, the number of people in Germany has decreasing in recent years.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Go a little, okay, 1.35. You see that right there? The fertility rate in Germany has been dropping, falling to 1.35 per child. Okay, so here's the point. Even with that, it's not working. Go to the left with that one tweet that you had. No, to the left, Rob, to the one tweet. Yeah, right there.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Even with that, it's not working because sometimes you'll see data like this and they'll say, wait, we need to be like Europe. We need to be like this. Yeah, why don't we go become socialist? Let's just do that. Let's just kind of go become like Brazil and some of these other places. Let's go ahead and do that. You know how many sick days, maternity?
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
I mean, it's just staggering when you're watching this. However, let me do tell you this part. We pulled up a number on Dinks and Dwicks. You know, Dinks are what? Dual income, no kids. And then the other one is Dwicks. Dual with dual income with kids. It's kind of like Dicks. It's D-I-W-K-S. My favorite. Yeah, Dicks. So Dinks and the Wicks. You know between the two, who makes more money?
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Those with kids or those without kids?
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
No, without kids makes more money. $9,000 per year. With kids. No, without kids they make more money. Without kids they make $9,000 more. But the point right now when you're going and looking at some of the stuff here on the cost of living, of raising a child, hey man, you got two things you have to sacrifice. What's one thing you're going to sacrifice? One is not having kids.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
What's the other thing you're going to sacrifice? The other one is your maybe personal time that you have or maybe that nice moment clothes you're going to buy or nice restaurant you go to or more barbecue money to be spent and stuff like that versus, no, man, we're going to have a family. We're going to have kids. We're going to invest money into our family, into the stuff that we're doing.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
We're going to make that investment rather than the cost and the expense. That's the difference, right? There is a sacrifice no matter what. One sacrifice lasts a few years. The other one comes with the benefit of a companion. It's something you look forward to for decades and decades and decades to come. I once read a proverb, which I think is a Jewish proverb, and I've said this many times.

You can pause it right there. Okay, so mannerisms. You know what vibe it gives me? Here's a vibe it gives me. When you're selling a business and the buyer agrees to buy it at a price and you're selling it, we've been through this process, you're raising money, you're doing all this stuff, we've done it many times.
PBD Podcast
ABC Pays Trump $15M, January 6 Cover Up, Trudeau To Resign, NJ Drone Theories | PBD Podcast | Ep. 521
Can you break down to the average person signal versus noise? Like signal is you're paying attention to what's going to grow the company, the stuff that you should actually look at. Noise is just a bunch of gibberish and noise that's being made, and you're not getting distracted by the noise.

But when you're selling a business and it's going through the 90-day process, the six-month process, whatever it is, the seller is never convinced that it's going to be done until the money hits the account.

Because the buyer's job is to pay as little as possible for anything they're buying, right? So there's a little bit of games going on. The feeling I get when I watch this year with his interview is I have a feeling some people on the inside have reached out to him and spoken to him that you and I don't know that, but a lot of people are going to Mar-a-Lago.
PBD Podcast

And he knows some stuff, but obviously he can't give those names. And those people have probably also said, don't say anything. When you come in, we're going to work on it together. But he also seemed a little bit paranoid between now and January 20th. Like, listen, don't over-celebrate. Don't be anything until we get in. We got to get in.

There was some feeling of that that I felt here that maybe they're using this as a tactic to get something through. It could be 20%, 30%, 40%, but it could be something there. I'm watching this guy. named Chase Hughes, who is a U.S. Navy intelligence chief. I'll share with you what breakdown he gave.

So, John, let me ask you this. So while you go and your video all of a sudden pops, when that happens, you're going to be swamped with emails, text messages, people who know you and say, hey, John, oh, my God, I saw this. But you're also going to get a few weird phone calls, right? You're going to get a few weird text messages. And
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
People that are going to say, John, that's actually not what it is. It's actually this. It's actually that. Did you get any credible phone calls from credible people that disagreed with you and said, John, what's actually going on is this. I know what's going on, and it's X, Y, Z because I got a friend there.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Did you get any calls from people that disagreed with you and said, you're wrong, that's not what it is?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Yeah, you're everywhere. You're literally everywhere. Tom, did you have a question for John?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
She's throwing up right now, but this is the mission. And by the way, for some of you that are watching yesterday's Oliver Stone podcast and you're like, the sound sucks. Rap sucks. Everybody. Unfollow.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
uh protocol out there at all well listen if you had to give a percentage of two questions one the government knowing what it is that's one and two it being us and nobody else, what percentage would you say the government knows? 80% they know or two. 80% it's us, the U.S. government. It's not anybody else on the outside. And when I say U.S. government, I don't mean our military. It could be CIA.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
This is amazing. And then I'm like, guys, this place was in the middle of a hurricane storm, whatever you want to call it. The entire outside. Maybe I should show you because we have something going on here. Okay. Rob, do you have a video showing what the outside looked like? I'll send you what happened two hours later, just yesterday in the podcast. A car was underwater. Is that it, Rob?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
It could be whatever that's us that's here. Where would you put those two?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Yes. One, are the drones operators ours or a foreign country entity that's using them?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Yeah, the fact that it's taken this long, it's mind-boggling that it's taken since November 18th to have known, give or take. That's the date that started being reported on it. By the way, Chase Hughes, a couple other guys are talking about this could be a psyop, this could be a way of distracting everybody to be talking about something like this because there's nothing there.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Okay, right there. Guys, look at that. By the way, we don't have a lake here. That's where we're shooting the podcast is in that building. That's our parking lot. That's our parking lot. While we're doing a podcast, we're getting hit by this. But anyways, it was fun. A lot of good conversation with Oliver and Sean Stone. It was great. But let's get into some of the stories here that we have.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
and they're just kind of saying, hey, hey, hey, keep talking about this, keep talking about this. Why we got to get this big spending bill through? Why we got to make Trump stuff a little bit more difficult? Why we got to pin Trump against Musk? Why we got to do this?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Okay, now you're saying percentages.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
This guy ain't wavering right now. I'm with it. Well, John, appreciate you for your time to get on here with us. I'm glad now we're in contact with each other because, you know, I don't know if, because the way you said it, I thought maybe it sounds like you specialize in rednecks using drones. That's got it. Hell yeah, America, buddy.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
But you said 80-plus countries, so there's not a lot of rednecks in some of these other places you're talking about. Rednecks in Greece. We look forward to staying in contact with you and having you back on because I don't think the drone situation is going away anytime soon. I think we'll be dealing with that for many, many years to come. Again, appreciate your time. God bless. Merry Christmas.

Take care. All right, so interesting. What do you think about what John just said?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
So a couple months ago, I predicted and I said, guys, I don't know why now that if Trump wins, this is like the last week of October, first week of November. I said, if he wins, they're going to say the new president of the United States is President Elon Musk.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Look, here's the reality of it. We're not going to know. uh on what's going on but the more the biggest thing you need as for someone like me i just want in any situation i'm going through it doesn't matter what it is okay if if it's a war if it's finances if it's valuation of a business if it's a client complaint if it's a lawsuit if it's a mistake someone made
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
I want as many testimonies as possible. I want as many angles as possible. Because once you have this person, that person, this person, that person, this person, today a guy sends me a MNEC and he tells me about his business partners. And he says, you know, his business partners are having a challenging time. And I gave him a strategy of what to do.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
And they're going to call him a puppet master, and they're going to do a cover of a magazine all over the place, and everyone's going to talk. Just this week, we're going to show you a clip of how many different people are saying that. The likes of Adam Kinzinger. Bernie Sanders just yesterday. You're going to hear them do this just to create a wedge between the two of them.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
But I also said to him, I said, you have to know that I have to also assume everything you're telling me is right, the fact that your business partners are being nefarious. What if you're the one that's being like that? I'm not hearing their side of the story. But if what you're telling me is true, here's some feedback for you, right? I think we need intel. This is very helpful.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
By the way, just because we have John on doesn't mean he's 100% right. It doesn't mean it can't be China. It doesn't mean it can't be Iran. It doesn't mean it can't be nothing. It doesn't mean everything is there. You and I get to choose and say, I think it's 42% here, 22% here. And then at the end of the day, we find out.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
No, no, let me... I'm curious. But let me give you an idea on how this works. Okay. If something's going on with our family and it's a real issue, You know what I'm talking about. So, you know what I'm saying? And that's why when Tom does that, it drives me insane. I hate when he does that. Every time. By the way, Rob knows. You know what I want to give Rob a shout out to?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Rob's been learning Aramaic.

The best. I use it every night. All right, so let me go back to this point. When you're going through family stuff that's taking place, there are certain levels of things that you want your kids to know what's going on.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
But some of the things, they're not ready. You may be ready for something to know at 18, but you weren't ready at 14 to know about it.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
You may be ready to know at 14, but not at 10. You may be ready at 10, but not at 6. Vice versa, some of the things you have to talk about, right? The only reason the U.S. government doesn't want the public to know if it really is a nuclear warhead or whatever it is, is because the government looks at the American people as kids, and they're not. They're adults. I think the more straight up
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
American people are, the government is with the American people, that trust goes up. The reason, like, when I had President Trump on a podcast, and I'm going to transition to the next stories, but we got a bunch of other things to cover. When I showed him, I said, one of my favorite things you ever did is when you brought Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer into
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
your office, the White House, with 50 cameras, and you said, I'm willing to shut the government down. Guess what? We're back to shutting the government down again. You said, I'm ready to shut the government down, and it was a vlog type. You know what it did? It got us to realize who the a-hole was and who was willing to lean and take responsibility. And you know what?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Go ahead and play this clip, Rob. Look how intense it gets. I love it.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
The question is, will it work? Next, billionaire Reid Hoffman. He says the odds of Trump's retaliation is greater than 50%. Trump is willing to pardon New York Mayor Adams. He's considering it. He's also considering raising minimum wage. MSNBC Stephanie Ruhl, I really want to talk about this story, says Trump is more accessible than Biden.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Versus with Biden, what happens? We don't see nothing.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Show it to us, right? The trust goes up. Where we're in there with you. Okay, I got it. I got it. Does that need to be every single thing you do? No, because the enemy's also watching. Exactly. But I think there's 5, 10, 15, 20% of the stuff that you can do for us to see as well to increase the level of trust the American people have in the government.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
You know what would be one of the biggest accomplishments in Trump by 2028? Go to the trust in the U.S. government, Rob, percentage. If I was Trump's camp, and I'm doing a business plan for our team, and we said, hey, guys, go to 2028, what five milestones can we reach to call or decide? I have my own list that I would share with the administration, but I'm going to give one of them.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
If the president and his camp, Musk, Vivek, Tulsi, Patel, Bobby, all of these names. I don't want to miss any one of them. Susie, every one of these guys. If by 2028, the trust in the U.S. government suddenly goes up to 45%, that may be one of the biggest victories on their top five. Because what the people said is they're not saying they trust the U.S. government.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
What they're saying is we trust today's administration. They're not saying they trust the government. They're saying we trust you today. Not we trust you, period, right? That could be one of the biggest victories. And one of the ways he could do it is by doing an open forum vlog style talking where we're kind of seeing what's going on. I want to go to the next story. I want to go to the next story.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
I want to go to the next story. So next story I want to get into is... UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect, Luigi Mangione, indicted in New York. Rob, do you have that clip to show? Yes. He's indicted in New York. President Trump finally comments on it, and he says a few things.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
While that's taking place, you got a stunning poll comes out that finds more younger Americans think that CEO assassination was acceptable than those who don't, which is absolutely insane to think about this poll. A poll by Emerson College revealed that 41%,
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
of Americans ages 18 to 29 viewed the assassination of UnitedHealthcare's CEO as either somewhat or completely acceptable, while 33% deemed it completely unacceptable. I mean, to think about that's what they're saying. This was something that happened. Then on top of that, there's two documentaries that may be able to get done on him, which, by the way, I understand a documentary on him.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Hollywood should do that. We should learn more. And then there's also a defense fund that just surpassed $100,000 as of a couple days ago. I don't even know where it's at right now. Rob, if you can play a couple of these clips that you have, that'd be great.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
But jokes, he told her to go F herself, okay, about doing the interview. But at least he picked up. And it's a very good story while she's telling the story. UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect Luigi Mangione indicted in New York. And while this is going on, Trump comments on it. I kind of like what he said. Luigi Mangione at the same time has a defense fund that surpassed $100,000.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
We can skip this part here, Rob. If you can go to what the president said, go right ahead.

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
That wanted to kill him. This is very dangerous. This is close to home for him. It's a very dangerous place to go to, guys.

PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
And their stunning poll finds that more young Americans think CEO assassination was acceptable than those who don't. And apparently Hollywood is right now working on two documentaries on that. Musk ready to bankroll Farage. Musk is facing conflict with Doge. And Elizabeth Warren said some stuff. We'll give you some thoughts on that. Apparently Musk was worth $400 billion last week.

These are a bunch of people getting tattoos of this guy. Okay. Well, I'm not. Listen. People will do a lot of weird things. Nowadays, tattoos have a different kind of a story and different meaning. But to me, Tony Robbins was here two days ago? Yesterday. Was it yesterday or two days ago? He was here two days ago. We did a two-and-a-half-hour podcast.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
It was supposed to be a short podcast turned into two hours and 15 minutes. Great conversation. I asked him about this. And you know how long it took him? Rob, what would you say, you watched it, what was his reaction to Luigi Mangione?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
At all.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Would you say he was a – did he look at it as, you know, well, you don't know what he's going through, poor guy and all this stuff? Or was it like, no, this guy's a guy that grew up spoiled, family was rich, hates the capitalism, all this other stuff? The latter. The latter, yeah. It was interesting that he went there like this.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Tom, your thoughts when you're seeing this right now and what the president said and what the hearing said. What would you say about this?

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
He just got to half a billion. At this pace, he's going to get to a trillion in no time. 14 detained in armed Aurora, Colorado home invasion are likely illegal gang members. We'll talk about that. EPA approves California's plan to ban gas-only cars starting in 2035. Brilliant. I mean, just a smart move by Newsom, obviously being sarcastic here.

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Yeah, you know the business model. It's the business model. You know, we have a neighbor that their health insurance program, you know how it works, the insurance that they have, they pay you if you take care of your body more and have fewer visits.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
You understand what just happened? So let's just say your premium is $1,000 a month. Okay. But if you take care of your body, you lose weight, you're in shape, you're doing your physical, things are going better, triglycerides, everything's getting lower, and you have fewer need for the health insurance, they actually lower your premium. That's great.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
So they reward you for not needing to go to the doctor. Correct.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
So our business model for hospitals sucks. So you know a lot of these companies. The other day I had an executive from a major $250 billion company over at our house. And Tom, you know who I'm talking about. I texted you about her because her CEO, the son, you know what I'm talking about. We're an investor in one of the companies. And she was over at the house.

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
And she said, hey, we used to be this and da-da-da-da-da. We're now working from home. I said, really? Yeah. I said, okay. And so who works out of the office? Honestly, nobody now. I said, what percentage? Less than 10%. Wow. I said, and I look at her husband. What does he do? He says, we're actually at a company where we work from home. And we work from the office. And I love it. So it's funny.

The wife... Work from home, the other, boom. But she's always on the road because she's always selling. So she's on the road six, seven months out of the year. So that comes at a price, which that's what wholesaler salespeople do. You're always living in a hotel, okay? And typically when we have a soccer match, she's never there. He's there.

She's normally out of daughter stuff, but he's normally there, okay? Great. So much, probably I enjoy talking to her the most at night, just learning about the story. I said, so what do you guys do with all the real estate assets you guys have? We're selling them off. Really? One by one by one. Actually, give me some number. I don't know what the number was.

Biden calls for ban on congressional stock trading, calling out Nancy Pelosi. And apparently he didn't even call Nancy Pelosi to see how she was doing after the surgery or the injury that she had. So we'll talk about that a little bit. AOC got some love from Trump, but not from her party. So her party didn't give her love, but Trump did.

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
We've sold over 50% of our real estate assets that we've had because we're not renting it anymore. You know what happens when you have so many different hospitals? You have to use it. But what if the incentive program changed? What if it changed? What if it's, hey... We're going to give you this if your body is this.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
What if somebody right now that's listing their 300 pounds, eating cheesecake, pizza, all this stuff, what if all of a sudden, hey, if your body weight is this and you go do this and you do this physical, your cost of insurance goes this and da-da-da-da-da. Now people have an incentive to do what? Be in shape. You know, military, like you had to run a certain amount of minutes for two miles.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
What if something like that is tied as an incentive program for me to be in shape, right? An insurance carrier did this program one time called Vitality.

It was JH, right? Yeah, John Hancock, yeah. And anyways, you're right. I hope it goes that direction.

All of a sudden, the last, I want to say week, about two months ago on the podcast, and I'll show you the clip here in a minute, I was being asked, you know, everywhere I'm going, I'm being asked, what do you think about this? What do you think about this? Can you give us an analysis?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
And, you know, I mean, I said, the biggest thing you have to worry about, between now and November 5th, Trump is enemy of the state number one. November 6th, it will be Elon Musk one, Vance two, then it's Trump. And they said, why? I said, because Musk is going to be around for a while, and Trump is a one-term president. Once he's in, he's in. And then, Elon's going to be around for many years.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
J.D. Vance is going to be a two-term president, so he's going to be the enemy. I said, but they're going to try to divide. I said, I predicted what I said. I said, they're going to call who the president is.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
They're going to call Elon Musk the president, and they're going to call him puppet master, and they're going to put him on the cover of a magazine with a puppet master whatever. You remember that?

What used to upset you in your 20s that whether you're 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, it's still going to upset you? Those two questions will dictate what's going to happen here. So answer it for yourself.

What used to upset you in your 20s that no longer does in your 40s? I can tell you mine. I have a lot of them. Wait, the 20s that bothered you? Yeah. What used to upset you in your 20s? That things were said about you or, you know, words that no longer upsets you today?

You probably thought about a friend that was like that. You went somewhere. Maybe your former roommate, you had something like that. Because I had a guy like that as well. His name was Speedy Espinosa. He would leave his underwear on his bed and go for the weekend with this girl in Nashville who – I don't want to say who the... Anyway, so he... You don't want to say what? Just called out Speedy?

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
One weekend. One weekend, Speedy. And this guy was five, six years older than me. I mean, I was 18 years old, but I was done. One weekend, I took all his clothes and I dumped... The weekend he was gone, because he would leave his underwear. And I don't even want to tell you what it looked like. He would leave his briefs. I took his clothes and a plastic bag. I dumped it in the trash.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
My room would smell. I can't deal with smell. He came back saying, where are my clothes? I said, in the trash outside. I said, don't ever leave your underwear here before you leave. Wash them before you leave. Every time you leave dirty clothes here, and if I smell anything, it's going to the trash every single time. And he very quickly realized he needs to wash his clothes.

And that drove me effing insane. I'm with you. But let me tell you what it is. You ready? Okay. What hasn't changed? People you do a lot for that betray you.

I told him, I said, you're an idiot. This guy introduced you to all these different people, you quit? So then I sent a message, are you telling people, I said, well, I'm telling them this.

Yeah, funny as hell, right? But you know what it is? Here's what it is. I will forever remember how you value the relationship. Permanent. We'll remember. It's always going to be here. You publicly undermined everything that happened, no problem. I don't think it'll happen here because I don't think... You see, neither one of the men made the other man.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
So Trump didn't make Musk, and Musk didn't make Trump. So, you know, when it's like that, it's not like... Trump is, you know, Musk wears Trump's gear. Exactly. He wears the Make America Great Again gear. Dark MAGA. You know, and it's like just puts it on. And guess what? Great. Good for you. And so he's given that respect to him.

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Of course there's motives on both sides and there's incentives on both sides. That's very important. The biggest factor internally is I think the person that controls if Trump gets upset about this or not here, believe it or not, is actually not Trump. Guy sends me a message, another guy. We love this guy. He was with us for three years, and he quit. He didn't get fired. He actually quit.

He went through those humiliating moments.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Nobody's above this guy. So that's why I'm saying, and the reason why I don't think it'll happen, because I think Elon understands this dynamic. Because Elon has a lot of people that he changed their lives as well. They owe Elon the favor, not the other way around. Many people don't understand this. And the reason why they don't understand is because they think life is only one year.

And only think about, well, I got the other guy to give me $20,000 because I'm doing business right now. Patrick will never find that. We find out everything. And then guess what happens long-term?

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
Elon's not short-term thinking. Elon's long-term thinking. So I don't think it's going to happen because I think Elon's been, all this stuff that they're doing to Trump, I think it's happened to him in business so many times, that Elon is what? He's locked in. My opinion. My opinion. But the person that controls where this relationship goes here... I think it's going to be Ilan.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
I think Trump has the right to be upset. I think Trump has the right, if somebody throws him under the bus behind closed doors, I think Trump has the right to be a little bit agitated if any of that stuff happens. He has the right to have that. He's a man. He had all the pressure.

But everybody will be filtered out. It doesn't take a long time to filter people out. There's a famous quote that I tweeted out two weeks ago. And it was very intentional.

When a man with money meets a man with experience. The man with experience leaves with the money. The man with the money leaves with the experience. But every once in a while, you meet somebody that has both money and experience. Never cross a man like that. That's Trump and that's Musk. Never make that mistake. You're a fool if you do so.

It makes them think you're not busy. If you answer it a day later, you're training them to think you're so busy that they also work so hard because they'll say, oh, my God, such and such is so busy. So never be accessible, right? This is what the guy is saying. And this other lady, she's up there. She's like, no, I like to be accessible. And they're going back and forth.

Well, that meeting hasn't happened yet. Right. The two of them meeting. And the part you have to realize is that Trump's background is what? How did he make his money? Real estate. Okay.

Remember this. How do you cause Congress to pay attention? How do you cause certain laws to change? How do you cause certain cities to pay attention? The other day, Sonos, which the worst update ever. I loved Sonos until they did this recent change. And even their own employees don't like what Sonos was doing. I got online and I'm like, look. This is the worst thing ever.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
I said, what's a good replacement? There was another tweet I put before this because I first gave him an opportunity when I asked about Sonos. So I asked about something about Sonos. I said, hey, Sonos, I'm having a hard time with this upgrade. Can somebody help me out? Is anyone else having problems with Sonos? We love Sonos and had it all at our home at latest. Absolute sucks.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
And we can only listen to Sonos radio and not our own music. Even our local AV companies can't fix it. Does anyone know how to fix it? Sonos reaches out to me. I give a phone number to call an email. They don't follow up for one week. So then finally I put this next tweet. What's a good replacement to Sonos? We're getting rid of all our Sonos products at our buildings. Their app, new app sucks.

Customer service is lazy, fake at best. Not surprised why their market cap dropped from $5 billion in 2021 to $1.7 billion today. Look at the amount of views it gets. It gets one million.

I don't trust you, right?

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
So they're kind of going through this. Eventually, the guy calls, talks to Jen. They fix the Sonos system. It's pretty complicated, but the guy was able to help out. And the guy that's helping Jen out says, hey, just to be honest with you, We are not fans of the new update. It's making us have to work twice as hard because it was easier to work before. So even Sonos knows that, right?
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
But guess what? Public pressure got Sonos to pay attention to a couple of these updates and do something about it. When one of Trump's next three to-do lists becomes interest rates... You're going to see Jerome Powell get the kind of pressure he's never gotten from millions of people to lower rates. You'll see. And you know when I predict that will happen? Q2 of next year. Q2.
PBD Podcast
Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523
End of Q1, beginning of Q2 next year, you're going to see Trump put the kind of pressure on Jerome Powell you've never seen before. And it's going to be Elon, Vivek, Trump, everybody.

Fani Willis DISQUALIFIED, President Elon Musk, Luigi Mangione Indicted | PBD Podcast | Ep. 523

Turn to unregulated site, which don't take user safety seriously and make the internet more dangerous for adults and children.

By the way, here's a question. The U.S. government is saying it's not theirs, right? Yes. Okay. So here's a question, Tom. If you're in your backyard, okay? Your job as a man of the household is to protect the backyard of your house, okay? You see something, a drone on top of your house, a small little drone on top of your house, and not just you got a good-sized house with an acre,
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
You ask your kids, hey, is this one of ours? No. Hey, is this any of the guys? No. Shoot it down. Absolutely.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
By the way, what if it's a drone above a military base? What if you fly a drone above an airport? If you fly a drone over an airport, what do you do to the drone? You shoot it down. Right. When we were in Acropolis, I don't know if you remember when we were in Greece, and we were trying to get the drone.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Do you remember that? Yeah. It's like, hey, immediately it's like, hey, bring the drone down. You know, one of the camera guys was using a drone. But if we don't know what it is, why are we even questioning it?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
If it's not ours, what are you doing? If it's not yours, why are you okay with that staying up there? Rob, what is this next clip? Is this Pentagon?

How do you not know what it is, right? They know. Simultaneously, Chris Wray decides to step down before being fired, which is a pretty wise move. For your resume, because when you write the book, you get to say what? I resigned. I resigned. Wise move two, three weeks away when you're saying something like that.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
No, no, what I'm asking is, how long does it stay up there? Five minutes? It's been two, three days. 50 of them. No, listen, it's immediate, immediate attack ahead of it rather than staying and keeping it up there. Now, the only reason why you may not attack it immediately, where the everything's going to fall and it could destroy some homes and things like that. But think about it this way.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
The other plane that was flying into Pentagon, what did they do to that plane, 9-11? There was two planes, right? The one attack, the one was 9-11. The one that hit the Pentagon.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
That's exactly the point. So that story is, why'd you shoot it down?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Why'd you shoot it down? Yeah, because they know. Why didn't you hesitate? Yeah. Why didn't you hesitate? Why'd you shoot it down? How did you know whose it was? So you don't know what this is? So in five minutes, you could figure out who playing that was, but you can't figure this out in three days? Yeah. Don't give me this bullshit. Yeah. So what are you allowing this?

Is this a exchange for someone that, watch this, could this be the enemy? You just gave me $10 billion. My country is Iran. Mm-hmm. Iran made a video showing how a little drone goes and follows Trump while he's golfing. Remember that video they made two years ago? It was an older video, two, three years ago.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
You think they would want, like how often you think Trump's going to golf the next four years? A bunch. A bunch. At the Jersey place. At the Bedminster place. How often do you think Trump's going to golf at Bedminster the next four years?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
No, no, no, no, no. 30 to 40 times.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
That's exactly what I'm saying. So let's just say 50 to 100 times. Correct. How valuable is that for me to send a drone to learn everything I can about that golf course above it? Like, are you dumb? to think these drones could have gone anywhere. They're above Bedminster? Why do you think they're above Bedminster?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Do you think this is a famous golfer that's trying to improve their golf skills because they want to build a better golf course than the one in Bedminster? Or do you think this is a place that this guy's going to go, look at this, they gave you a glimpse of what they did. This is an Iranian video. This is an Iranian video that came out a few years ago. Hey, you want to mess with us?

PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Yeah. It's a drone shot. So you don't think they want to learn every single piece of the property on what to do? I don't know, man. So this gets me to, you know, the people that are questioning. When did Chris Wray resign? Yesterday. He stepped down. Yep. The former FBI. He's the head of FBI.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
He steps down. Okay. He allowed somebody to go through Melania's drawer in her, in Mar-a-Lago. Yep. Even though Trump was working with them to get the files back, they went and embarrassed them and, you know, Mayorkas, all that stuff. Garland, right?

PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
What would you do if 50 drones were over your house where you and your husband and kids live in?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Would you want to know who was behind it? Yes. Is that called revenge? No. What do you call that? It's called wanting to know. Would you say... What if I told you, wow, what a vengeful person you are, Kristen Welker. Why do you want to know why these drones are trying to see what you're doing? You're such a pervert. You think they want to know what you're doing in the bedroom?
PBD Podcast

I don't care if you do woman of the year or man of the year. What is this person of the year? Just doesn't sound right. By the way, Elon Musk. Poor guy, man. He just crossed $400 billion net worth. Yeah, $600 a week from a trillion. I told you guys it'll take two to four years for him to be a first trillionaire. He's at $400 billion. Imagine how many... $400 billion he just crossed.

But you're telling me for something like this? They need to put a law. Where I'm going with this is if you think deep fake of a girl that she's not in it, but she's being used in porn should be a crime, which I agree. If you're going to do that, it should be a crime.

In two of our most special states in America, Jersey and New York, how rich are those people, personalities that come out of those places? Anyways, let me go to the next story before I freaking turn off the podcast today. All right, let's go to the next story. Not bad for a first topic for people to get fired up. Let's go to the next story.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Let's go to a little bit more of a different kind of a story here. So what do we got here? All right, let's talk about Alex Jones. Judge rejects sale of Alex Jones InfoWars to The Onion in dispute over a bankruptcy auction. So is this kind of like a spoof that Onion wants to buy them to kind of put them out of business and say, hey, we bought them and we used our money and we closed them up?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Is that kind of what they're trying to do, Rob? Is that what this is? Because Onion is a liberal left. Onion is the old school watered down Babylon Bee. Is that fair to say that? Because Onion is what they wish they were Babylon B, but they can't be because they're just not as talented and creative as the guys at Babylon B are. It's not even close, by the way.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Let me read the story to you, and then let's go to this. Okay, here we go. Page 13. So, a federal judge on Tuesday rejects the sale of the conspiracy... Who wrote this article? New York Post. Okay. Of the conspiracy platform InfoWars to the onion satirical news outlet after Alex Jones claimed that a recent bankruptcy auction was fraught with illegal collusion.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
The onion was named the winning bidder on November 14th over a company... Affiliated with the Jones, U.S. bankruptcy judge Christopher Lopez. Decision made. Jones can stay at InfoWars in Austin, Texas. The Onion have planned to kick Jones out and relaunch InfoWars in January as a parody. Okay, so they're trying to mock him, right?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
At the end of a lengthy two-day hearing in a Texas courtroom, Lopez criticized the auction process, flawed. And said the outcome left a lot of money on the table for families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. You got to scratch and claw and get everything you can from them. Lopez said, Rob, is this a clip from who? Is this the lawyer or who is this guy here?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
And then you have an Alex Jones clip as well.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Is this Alex's most recent clip or is this guy's first clip?

You don't think that that's fair? I'm sorry, Onion. Tom, can you do me a favor and pull up? Like, is there a way to track traffic going to the Onion versus Babylon Bee and measuring the two together for the last three years? I am begging you to find this. There used to be a site called Alexa.com. Can you please find the two together?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
I don't know the data, by the way, so I could be wrong, and Onion's been crushing it. But from what I see, I am willing to bet Babylon B's traffic versus the Onion, they're destroying the Onion. And Onion wishes they could be Babylon B. You know what would be funny with this entire part? This is who, by the way. This is who, Rob, that you just put in. Organic traffic. And this is on what website?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Okay. And they showed up as what, 273? Can you do me a favor? Just copy-paste the link. And just open up a new window. So don't close it. So we can compare the two together and put up a new window. And on this new window that you do, put Babylon B in there and let's see what it's doing. The same way you just did it. I don't know what, oh, it doesn't let you do two at a time.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Yeah, I would be very curious to know because this guy had a play where he wanted to publicly humiliate. He said conservative podcasters. What did he call them? He says these other traffic.

PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
According to this website. Can you do me a favor? Find out when did Babylon Bee start and when did The Onion start? When did Babylon be started?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
That was a newspaper. Babylon be started eight years ago. Okay, when did Onion start?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
That's where the University of Wisconsin is. Right, so 88, 2016 is what? 28 years before Babylon Bee started, right? Now, Musk is a big fan of Babylon Bee. So these guys are buying Infowars to try to humiliate what do you call it, Alex. And by the way, is there the dollar amount, Rob, that we have in an article? Because I think the number, when I asked you yesterday, was like $1.75 million.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Less than $2 million. And they're giving $700,000 to, what do you call it, to the family and all this other stuff. Can you go to that, Rob, real quick?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
So give or take $2.5 million to buy InfoWars. Correct. This is nothing. Elon has that in his pocket right now. Does the lawsuit come with it?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
So let's just say somebody wanted to buy InfoWars. And but the company that wanted to buy them, they wanted to buy them minus the liability that comes with it. Right. Meaning I don't want I want to be held harmless of the lawsuit. I want to be held harmless of all the prior debt. Could you do that or no? Out of the bankruptcy, because are you buying it out of bankruptcy or no?

In April 2024, Collins announced that the CEO of Global Tetrahedron, a company that has purchased Onion. So Onion was officially just sold six months ago.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Wait till you see KJP talk about $50 billion, I thought she said, instead of $20 billion. Rob, if I'm not mistaken, did she say $50 billion yesterday instead of $20 billion? I don't know why I thought I saw $50 billion. But we'll show that. On top of that, $20 billion is going to Ukraine. Iran's getting another $10 billion in sanctions relief days after Trump's won election.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Did you know that, Tom? I did not know that. Onion was bought by Global Tetrahedron. Yeah, can you see what they paid for it? Because I just looked up what they did. They used to have 500,000 subscribers at their peak. And then it just fell off according to one of the articles I just read.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
The purchase originated from a post by Collins on Blue Sky after news broke that the then-GO was looking to offload the magazine amongst other titles, and Collins won the assets of the website InfoWars at auction despite the family's own. The federal judge... Yeah, interesting. Interesting to see this guy's background and where he's at now.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
I tell you, I actually think it's a great move on the left to buy InfoWars and dump it. I think it's a great move on the left to buy InfoWars and dump it. Strategically, it's like Elon Musk buying MSNBC. The opposing side will be celebrating that. I think it's a great move to do that. But if it's only for $2.5 million, there's nobody else that's willing to buy InfoWars for $3 million?
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
For $3.5 million? All the content, it's going to be used later on in documentaries and stuff. I don't know. I think there's something there. You don't have to agree with it or not, but that's going to be something that could be used for many, many years to come.

If you type in the onion top line revenue, do you know what it is? Top line revenue. I know at one point Trump was, I'm sorry, Musk was interested in buying the onion digital media with $21.8 million in top line revenue with 389 employees. It's not a big number. No, it's a small number, since 1988. If that's the right number. Chicago, Illinois. Here, Rob, if you want to.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
Well, I mean, this is the part, if you want to show this, Rob. This is where I found the article from, RocketReach.co. No, just look at the link I just texted you. Because RocketReach.co shows how big these guys are. And they're buying InfoWars. Interesting. Interesting. All right. It's not really them buying InfoWars. It's who bought them is buying InfoWars. Zoom in a little bit. There it is.
PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
The Onion, $21.8 million on Rev, 389 employees, 159 on Rocket Reach, founded in 1988. I don't know how accurate this number is, but those are the numbers that you got. So it's a small company since 1988 that's still doing $21, $22 million a year that was bought out.

Luigi Maggioni, the man charged with the murder and the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, broke his day of silence with an outburst as he was escorted into a Pennsylvania courthouse where he challenged his arrest.

In its lived experience, Mangione shouted, prompting his detail of about 10 officers to hurry him inside. Dressed in orange jumpsuit, Mangione appeared unfazed. He was seen whispering with his attorney, Thomas Dickey, great last name, glancing at reporters and mumbling to himself at the Blair County Court hearing around 2 p.m. Prosecutors say he has $8,000 in U.S. cash.

It was completely devastating as a young athletic person. According to WAPO, Frenzel Maggioni said that the reason he moved to Hawaii, which is his registered last address, was to get better health.

PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
spondylolisthesis, okay, a condition caused by vertebrates slipping out of place, which can cause chronic pain. In analysis of the image, neurosurgeon Tyler Cole said that the surgery Mangione received appeared to be suboptimal. and that he would likely have continued to experience nerve pain after the operation. Go a little lower.

New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
That's right. So the lack of good ALIF, along with the subsidence, likely worsened the L5 radicular pain by not restoring disc height and causing neuroforminal compression. You can fuse with continued misalignment as long as disc height is restored and foremen are open. But the overall point is valid. Looks like suboptimal surgery. Okay, so the doctor speaking in the doctor language.

PBD Podcast
New Jersey Drones, Luigi Magione's 90-Day Mystery, Alex Jones InfoWars Win | PBD Podcast | Ep. 520
We burn the nerve, and it kind of alleviates some of the pain every year, and then maybe you'll burn it again and burn it again and burn it again. But almost everybody you talk to is, don't do a surgery on your back. 90% of people say, if you don't have to do it, don't do it. All right, is that a reason to kill somebody? Maybe.

No shit, Sherlock. But what I'm saying is Putin's asking to join to say and give a message to the world, I also don't want war. That's what Putin's saying to Clinton. Then why... Who does Clinton call... to call back and says, not right now. Why? Is it because if all of a sudden we seem that everything is under control and good, then they can't be expanding west? They can't be expanding more east?

All right, folks, if you're ready, we got a lot of stuff going on today. By the way, Zuckerberg, who came out and wrote a letter to Honorable Chairman Jim Jordan about the $400 million he helped out and how Biden and all those guys came out and he shouldn't have done that. It was on him. You know who he just gave a million dollars to for his inauguration party?

You got, for those in Jersey, you know how many people from Jersey told me they're actually concerned, like, what is going on with these drones? What is it? Is it Iran? Is it FBI? We're asking the FBI. They're like, we don't know what it is.

Oh, my God. Listen, that is so exciting. You know, so when Doge is taking place, we've been talking about the concept of tariffs for a few years. And you saw Mark Cuban coming out and said, well, you know, here's what you got to be careful with tariffs and, you know, protectionists. And that's not the right way to go. And we need free trade.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And this is why this and by the way, this conversation goes back to some people that are very big pro Nixon. Nixon was one of the greatest presidents of all time. And he did all this stuff. I mean, The argument could be a 50-50 argument. There's days that I sit there and I think Nixon did great, and there's days I sit there and I debate my own self saying, wait a minute, he strengthened China.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
We got off of gold standard. We got into a bunch of debt because it was kind of like the U.S. dollar. So you can say the good, bad, and the ugly, and I'm sure I'm going to get a call from Roger Stone, hey, you know, don't you ever talk about my Nixon like that. But here's where I'm going with this part about this story with Doge.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
So I sit there and we have our research team pull up the history of tariffs. Just about 140 years ago is where the U.S. revenue, 100% of the U.S. revenue that came in, the government got it from tariffs. That's what it was. We paid for everything through tariffs, right? We did that for many years. And then what happened?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
All of a sudden, under a few, you know, whether you want to call Wilson or Truman, I mean, we'll go to Wilson. Some of the presidents all of a sudden, like, hey, 1913. Let's introduce taxes. Let's introduce Federal Reserve. Let's introduce this. Next year, it's war. Hey, let's allow the American people to agree to take their taxes out of their payrolls. People will never agree to that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Americans are not dumb enough. No, I think we can. Who was the one that thought that was a good idea? You ready for this one? A guy that's in my painting of my house. Milton Friedman later on says, one of the biggest mistakes I made supporting an idea that was a horrible idea. Taking taxes out of my payroll. Why would I agree for the government to do that? You would get all the money.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
End of the year, you would pay your taxes. Now you're letting the government get 11 months advance on your money that you could have made that interest investing it somewhere. Yes. Well, how the hell do we agree to this? Watch this. Everyone talks about tariff, tariff, tariff. Do you know? Roughly, the amount of business that we do, that we tax on tariffs, is around $3.7 trillion.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Let's say $4 trillion. Do you know what the average revenue, do you know how much U.S. government, I'm asking the listeners and the viewers, if I was to ask you right now, how much income did the U.S. revenue come in last year just from tariffs? You know what that number is on the $4 trillion? Only $80 billion. Mm-hmm. What do you mean by 80 billion?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
That's all we're getting because the average is 2%. By the way, if we right now are spending our $4 trillion and we have to find a way to lower taxes to 0%, now watch what we could do. Here's a couple of things to be thinking about. Number one, if we made the average tariff on everybody 25%, that's a trillion dollars that we would get. You don't have a choice. Guess what? Here's what we're doing.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
It's going to go up to a trillion dollars. It's 25% across the board for everybody. Really? Yes, we need that income.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
They can say that all they want. What if we can increase some of the prices? The question the average person needs to ask is, are you willing to entertain the idea of prices on goods going up 25, 50% while taxes going to zero? Would you entertain that idea? Let's just kind of ask the question. Would you entertain that idea?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
By the way, this guy named Elon Musk, when he bought Twitter, you know what he did? They went from 7,500 employees to next week he fires half of them, 3,750. The 3,750 that quit called another 1,250 to quit. The guy went from 7,500 employees to 2,500 employees in around a month. So do you not think he, Bobby Vivek, can take the amount of employees we have and say, listen, guys.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
All this stuff we're paying you, go find a job in the real world like everybody else. Look, I'm just happy the fact that we're looking at cutting spending and how we do that. I don't even know if we need 800 military bases around the world. Why? Why do we need 800? There's so many ways to cut it. The right people are leading it. I'm curious to know what their next 5, 10, 15 moves are going to be.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
But whatever we're doing, cutting spending is coming. And that's only an argument for us to be able to lower taxes for you and I.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Well, I like what Vivek said about two, three weeks ago where he said we're going to need Congress, right? But think about it right now with what Elon showed just in the last few months with the amount of money that he put in different PACs.
The Charlie Kirk Show

Imagine him, the stories you hear about that he stayed in Pennsylvania, I think you said for 45 days, I don't know what it was, whether I heard it from you or somebody else. This guy went and realized Pennsylvania was the state and he stayed there. How many people lived in Florida for the last few months just to make sure this election was going to be done with?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
I remember Tulsi saying she hasn't been to Hawaii since April. That's what I remember her saying in an interview. We have plenty of true believers there, but they're going to need Congress. So guess what? These are some of the things we're working on. A part of it is a little bit, you know, leverage game. This is purely a leverage game.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
You want to get, you know, you want to go through the next phase of favor and additional things you're going to need. You want to be sponsored. You want to be able to get endorsed for your next one. We don't mind doing that. But look, you got to play ball. Here's what we want to do. These are ideas. FYI, Congress, left, right or center, specifically right. This is what America voted for.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Well, let me tell you, I loved the event so much last year that I'm trying to find a way to bring my 12-year-old
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
America voted for these policies. We won on these policies. Do you want to get reelected? I do. Well, then guess what? Do what American people voted for to win those seven battleground states. We didn't win five out of seven, not three out of seven, not two out of seven, seven out of seven. So every time Congress or somebody doesn't support that and say, listen, you voted American people.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
This person does not support what you put us in here to do. He's getting in the way. If you want us to keep continuing to do this, you have to make sure this person is going to prevent us from making this country more efficient. If you want us to get more efficient, you got to get somebody else to replace this house job seat that is an XYZ place. There's going to be a lot of power plays, Charlie.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
But the reality, American people told you what they want. Every single Congress senator, everybody I talked to, I'm going to tell them, don't forget what American people said. And if you actually go back and think about the sequencing of Elon, you look at him right now, every time he retweets a video or something he posts, all he has to say is very interesting. 28 million views, 22 million views.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
with me to your event this year and the reason why it's complicated is because i have to so this is what i'm doing by the way this is i'm only doing this for you and you'll know when i tell you the story my wife says babe i don't know how the hell you're gonna make this work with christmas to get away with the family tomorrow i'm traveling taking my family to the destination where we're gonna be at christmas i'll tell you when i'm with you

A bad one is 17 million views. Big one, 200 million views, 100 million views, 80 million views. The amount of influence he has with X, I think he's the most powerful man in America. I know I'm talking to an audience with a lot of folks that are... And I understand Trump and all that. I totally get it. I understand politically. I understand that. But Elon is going to be around for 20, 30 years.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
OK, this game is not changing. He's going to be around for a while and he has access to maybe the most important news station out there called X. So a lot of these Congress guys, you know, they're going to need to they're going to need to play ball or else the American people are going to say we need to find somebody else to do your job for you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Yeah, you know, it's a great question. This happened to me many years ago when I had a call with a lawyer. We had a seven-minute call. The guy billed me for 30 minutes. I said, why are you billing me for 30 minutes? He says, you know, minutes roll up. I said, I want to pay you by the minute. He says, there's no such thing as paying me by the minute.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
I said, I'd like to build an app or something that I get to pay people by the minute to connect. So do you have a minute to connect? Let's connect. And connect, what it does is if you send a cold email to anybody right now, less than 1% response rate. If you send a DM, 3%. X LinkedIn, 5% to 8%. On Manect, there's a 91% response rate because you're paying for a response.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Everybody's time nowadays is valuable. If you want a response from Charlie, you got to pay for it. If you want a response from so many different influencers that are on Manect right now, you can get a hold of them. You can do a 15-minute call with them. You can do a... Video response, text response. But the app has become one of the best networking apps worldwide right now. We're in 46 countries.

How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
pbd that is so powerful let me tell you i'm gonna tell you a crazy story here so i'm i'm starting insurance agency i'm in a room and there's two different people debating whether you should be accessible to your insurance agents or whether you should seem like you're so busy that you're not accessible to create the aura of oh my god he's so busy you can never get a hold of him because this book called 40 allows a power and there's a heated debate going on

One girl says, nope, you got to be accessible. The other guy says, don't be accessible. You will spoil them because they can always get a hold of you. I went to the girl and I said, listen, man, I just think this is the right philosophy. We chose the philosophy of being accessible. Do you know how many opportunities you miss out on if you're not accessible? You know what's crazy?

When I had Dwayne The Rock Johnson at our event at the Palm Beach Convention Center, We're going back and forth. I'm inviting him to the event. He's calling me on a Sunday. We're texting back and forth, talking about the terms. And I said, I've dealt with a lot of celebrities that you bring to events. There is no way you're going to have a direct layer. He was a direct layer guy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Mark Cuban, love him or hate him, had him on the podcast nine years ago. And when we spoke, he was not a hard guy to get a hold of. You don't have to like the guy, but you have to respect the guy that can get a hold of him. One of Trump's biggest gifts,
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
is that he's not afraid he'll pick up the phone and tell you no but he's not afraid and fyi when when vanity fair or a lot of these guys were calling us and asking us questions and saying what do you think about this manosphere podcast bros baron trump all of this stuff that he's doing you know why would somebody go and campaign on podcasts isn't that like almost beneath him and i'm almost listening to this guy saying

You're the problem. Look how pompous you sound. Look how arrogant and conceited you sound. This is why the American people is sick of you. They're sick of it. Right. And this guy is willing to go talk. She's telling the story and you can tell the guy to her left or right is on the left. And he's like very sarcastic and condescending about it. But guess what? He picks up Kamala Harris.

Oh, Rogan, why don't you come to us? No, you're in Texas. Come by. No, no, no. You know, we just, you know, we're too busy right now. You think you're busier than Trump?

How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
So he does the podcast with Rogan for three hours, flies to Michigan, gets there, I don't know what time, 10, 11 at midnight. And he still gives his talk. And he's 78 years old, Charlie. He's 78 years old.

Listen, I do like that Susie Wiles. I believe she said, if you're going to let me do my job, you can't have an open-door policy with the White House, and you have to let me kind of protect it a little bit. So I do think there's extreme measures to that as well. So I kind of like the fact that there's a part of the strategy where some people do need to be filtered because –
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
They're wasting your time and they just want to take a picture and go back and say, hey, you know, so you need to do that part. But let me go to the other side. I said this to Jesse last night, maybe two nights ago. There's something very unique about a man who has been around many attractive women his entire life. Donald Trump.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
I'm so glad something like this exists with a guy like you that, you know, the stuff you did the last 12 months, I put you as a top five MVP because For 2024 election. I said that to you on the podcast and I'm saying it here. So, yes, I mean, listen, if you've never been, do whatever you can to go to it. It's a life changing event.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
What's powerful about that is your knees don't buckle when you're around beautiful women. You've seen many, okay? Number two, there's something very powerful when you have money and you've had to find your thing. The weird things like this door is made out of gold, like weird stories that just kind of like doesn't make any sense, right?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And a penthouse I sold to Bocelli, $45 million and you know, blah, blah, blah. partying with Salma Hayek and all these other people that you're being invited, being in movies like Home Alone and rappers, Tupac talking about you.

How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And then number three, you've met so many people, you're not enamored by anybody. Who hasn't he met? Who's going to embarrass, you know, impress him? So even with that, you don't have any layers. Anybody I work with, Charlie... That always fake acted like, you know, the whole act as if you're busy, act as if you're rich. I totally agree. What was that movie?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
The movie about the the movie about the stockbrokers, J.T. Marlin. I don't know what the movie is called, but it's a movie with Vin Diesel and a couple of these other guys. Boiler Room. That's what the movie was. It's the act as if mentality. Sometimes in life you meet someone that doesn't act as if he is. Kamala had to act as if. Biden had to act as if. Everybody on that set had to act as if.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
There is no act as if. You want to talk to me? You can get a hold of me. It's a sign of a tough guy. I'm not afraid of you. What do you want to talk about? No.

How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
In a major way. Major way. He said the other day over 100 world leaders called him. He's spoken to already over 100 world leaders. How many meetings is he having every night on Mar-a-Lago? Imagine if somebody else would have won. They would have been in Hawaii for three weeks celebrating. This guy's already working and everybody's coming to him. This is a very different story.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
By the way, the biggest factor with this... I'm not worried about the next four years. I'm I'm looking at this as the next 20, 30, 40 years. OK, my hope is that the next guy or gal, while they're studying this case study of 2024, what they realize is it. Nikki Haley, we invited on the podcast, never showed up. OK, never. Why? She's above us.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Governor DeSantis, after God knows how much bullying we did, he finally showed up. Because it's like, well, well, well, finally you show up, right? President Trump showed up to our podcast, drove up with 36 different Secret Service helicopter, all this stuff. He showed up. But how many people didn't? Why didn't they show up? How many times did Bobby come and do a town hall with us?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
How many podcasts did Vivek do? I just hope the takeaway from this isn't just that we have better ideas and policies. I hope the case study from 2024 has got to be, you've got to work your ass off, drive, go everywhere, be accessible. You have to earn every vote. You can't just think because you're better at your student.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
I agree. You made a very good point. No, he played offense. I think 2020 was a little bit upset. 2020 was kind of like it's not fair. I can't believe they're doing this. I think what happened to 2020, everybody at one point has a rough patch. You go to season like while you know you're right and you're trying to tell everybody you're right. And it's sometimes it can work against you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
It's unattractive. Right. But I think 2023, 2024 in 2024, he was in flow state. It was done. When he went into flow state, it was done.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Yeah, so look, you'll find a lot of guys in business that are just brilliant, and so they make money because they're extremely intelligent and brilliant, right? And then you'll have guys that are brilliant, extremely intelligent, and they were offended, and they have a certain drive to go to tell somebody, hey, I'm more successful than you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Then there's those guys that are strategic that are in rooms and they can hear everybody talking aboard and they'll say, I think we need to do this, this. What do you think, Johnny? Johnny, what do you think about what Billy just said? Billy, do you agree with Johnny? I don't. Can you tell us why you don't marry? Whose side are you on? Those types of people behind closed doors, but it can do that.

How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Then you got the connectors, the Charles Schwab type of guys that know how to go shake hands and build a relationship and raise billions of dollars of money. Those are all good strengths that you have. But there's one thing that is by far, Charlie, the most intimidating quality of an entrepreneur, founder, CEO, businessman, athlete, anybody you want to talk about.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
There is not a quality more intimidating than this. Not one quality more intimidating than this. When you know you're going to compete with somebody. The person here who knows they have this quality, they know they're not going to stop. In business, I learned you can outwork people and you'll win. Then most people read 50 books, 100 books. They take a few courses.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
You can out-improve them, but eventually most people settle. You can out-strategize people and learn strategies on how to scale, grow, compete, technology, marketing, storytelling. Great. All of those three you can do, you still won't be the top 1% of 1%. The last one is the outlast. President Trump is the epitome of outlast. He's not going to stop.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
The game of business, look how many people are sitting there watching Elon saying, you're worth $400 billion. How much more money do you make? People don't understand. Elon's not doing it because he needs another $400 billion and he just wants to go buy a house or big watch or a car. That's been out of his system for 20 years. He's on a mission. He's got a vision he's pursuing. President Trump
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
has the stamina that scares the hell out of everybody else on the other side. In the business world, anytime you have someone, the leader at the top that has stamina, I'll never forget the interview. This is very interesting, by the way. The former CEO of Starbucks said, was a former McKinsey guy, and I believe he was a Pepsi guy. He comes to Starbucks. They hire him.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
He's doing an interview with Forbes, and he says, if anybody calls me after 6 p.m., I ask them, why are you calling me after 6 p.m.? Don't call me after 6 p.m. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm watching this interview. I'm like, you're running a $110 billion company called Starbucks, give or take. What the hell do you mean don't call me after 6 p.m.?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
So at the time when this guy's the CEO of the company of Starbucks, $110 billion, he's only a CEO for 18 or 19 months. Somebody can correct me on this, but it's 18 or 19 months. Do you know in his time of being the CEO of Starbucks, Starbucks valuation went from $110 billion, give or take, to roughly $70 billion. He lost $40 billion of valuation of Starbucks.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Starbucks goes and hires a guy from a company called Chipotle. The CEO of Chipotle, this guy's a freak. I think his name is Brian Nickel. The CEO of Chipotle, who's been there for six years. During his six years there, he takes Chipotle from $7 billion in valuation to $71 billion in valuation. Nearly 10x, over 10x in the valuation of Chipotle.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
The day Starbucks hires and announces the new CEO, I think his pay package was like almost $200 million. Everybody's like, oh my God, what a highly paid CEO. Why would Starbucks pay this Brian Nickel guy $200 million? He's not worth it. In one day, Starbucks' valuation went up $20 billion in one day. They pay this guy $150, $200 million. Somebody can verify it on this.

That day, Starbucks goes up $20 billion. Why? You need a leader that's running 24-7 that burden most people don't want. Most people are trying to be a president to kind of put it on their resume and checklist. Look who I am. I'm the president. They're going to make books and history books. They're going to write about me. Every once in a while, somebody's like, listen, man, I'm the president.

I think this is if we listen every once in a while, you're going to have an opportunity ahead of you. That doesn't happen all the time. There was a roaring 20s that a lot of people took advantage of. There are certain times this happens with Oklahoma land rush. It happens in real estate. It happens in investments. It happens with technology. It happens. There's eras that come.

I'm a government employee that gets paid 450 grand a year, whatever the number is, which I give back to charity anyways. I love my country. It's America first. And I'm a tough guy, and I'm not going to let them do anything to my country. That outlasting your peers is so intimidating, and that's what Trump's got.
The Charlie Kirk Show

You know what it's like? Let me kind of give it to you from this standpoint. A lot of us have been defending Trump for eight years. Where it was not cool to do so, okay? Like, I remember when I first started doing it, my channel was Valuetainment. Still till today, we have, you know, six and a half million subscribers. It was mainly business. I was talking business.

And one day I'm like, I can't help myself. I want to talk politics. My life is a little weird. I want to talk about politics. So we start PVD Podcast. We start talking about politics. Everybody said, oh, Pat's done. His stuff is going to die. These guys, your biggest mistake. You don't go from being the number one YouTube channel on entrepreneurship to not talking about it. He's done.

I'm like, no, I disagree. I think people want to talk about the topics you're afraid to talk about. I'm comfortable talking about it. No, you're screwing it up. You shouldn't be doing this. Some of us did this early on. There was a lot of guys that were afraid of talking about this. Some started four years ago. Some started two years ago. Some started a year ago. Some just started.

Some people started saying pro-Trump stuff after Trump won. So, for example, when Elon Musk is at the White House or Mar-a-Lago and Zuck shows up and you see the clip about Elon kind of like barking a little bit at Zuck, why is he barking? I think what Elon's trying to say is, where have you been? Huh? Where have you been? I put my on the line two years ago and look what they try to do to me.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Now you want to show up and you write that letter to honorable chair Jim Jordan. The fact that Biden and his administration bullied you a little bit and you take responsibility for it. Now you want to say it, which, by the way, I understand Elon's argument and it's fine. He needs to be that guy to push these guys around. But the other part of it as well is I don't mind it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

I don't mind the fact that Altman is giving a million dollars to inauguration. And Altman and Musk don't like each other because we know he went from a nonprofit to a for-profit and Elon's not having that, right? That's why he started a different company right now to compete directly with...
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
open ai i don't mind that zuck wrote that open letter that's humiliating for the democratic party i don't mind that he gave a million i don't mind that bezos is now coming and bezos you know elon tweets on and says hey did somebody tell me that bezos was doing this and then bezos responds back to elon and says that's not true i don't mind that elon is pushing his weight and checking everybody and getting all of these guys to get in line and you know being held accountable

But it's also okay for some people to realize and say, look, I effed up. I messed up. I was wrong. I'm here. You were right. What can we do to make this relationship better moving forward? By the way, Tim Cook, I'll put him as a complete outside. He was the first openly gay CEO of a Fortune 100 company. Tim Cook, he was the first guy that came out and said that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And these eras are typically followed during a season of hard times. We've all read The Four Turning. We know these different seasons that come about that happens. But here's the thing. There's something very different about President Trump right now.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Do you know his relationship with Trump has always been good? They asked him, they said, hey, why is it that you have a relationship with Trump? He says, because whenever I called him, he'd pick up. Obama and others wouldn't pick up. Obama is a liberal. Tim Cook.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Very when you watch him in these interviews that he does, he is very poised the way he's answering, calculating, but very calm, respectful, not offended, doesn't nothing gets under his skin, but he's very quick to hold the person accountable. And it's just a very different style of what he's doing. Very, very different style of what he's doing.

Where everybody has to find a way to get through the system, you have to be America first. I don't care who you are. If your name is Justin Trudeau, you're visiting Mar-a-Lago, you better be America first or else next week you're going to be resigning and being afraid that maybe a guy named Pierre is going to take over your job.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And so he's calling you governor and saying, hey, Governor Trudeau, it was great to have you here. Why don't you become the 51st state and join us? If you're anybody, when he said 100 people called him. So let's kind of process this together from financial values and principles. We can do both. Okay. So where's my confidence comes from values and principles.

When you're around a lot of bullies, here's the profile of bullies. Bullies will typically bully lower level people. And they'll gradually try to climb up to bully tier two people. And then when they graduate tier two, they'll do tier three. Like, wow, we were able to convince these guys that fully aligned. All right, let's go and go bully tier fours and tier fives.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And then eventually, when you start getting a little bit higher, the guys that specialize in bullying bullies, they sit there and all of a sudden they say, listen, man, you just crossed the line. You woke my up. You wake the wrong people up. And then when those guys. You wake up, here's what you do. Those guys are all living their own lives. They don't need anybody.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
They're making their own money. They're in their own industries. They have their own cliques. They have their own gangs. You bullies, what you did... The last eight years, you all of a sudden created the possible greatest gang ever put together. You did this. You got a liberal Elon Musk to align with Trump. And just a few years ago, they were talking smack about each other. You unified them.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
You got Joe Rogan who said he'll never have President Trump on his podcast now sounding like he's 100% Trump on his podcast when you listen to it. You did that, the bullies. You got Tulsi Gabbard who ran as a liberal, then all of a sudden just because Hillary Clinton didn't like her. She talks trash. You forced her out.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
You got one of the greatest last names of all time called Kennedy, and you started calling him Cuckoo and all these other things. You forced him to come up at an AMFEST event, your event on stage, which was one of the most electrifying moments of 2024, captured by Turning Point USA. You did that. The bullies did that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And now you got all the brains, all the guys with guts and gals who are like true believers in America. Bullies did that. So for me, my confidence comes from the business model of bullies has a timeline. Eventually, the right people wake up now financially on the other side.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
I think if you think about what the enemy is going to be doing, you got to sit there and think about what the enemy and Obama's and the establishment and the guys behind closed doors, the guys that the faceless leaders that we don't know about. Those guys are going to have to find a way to pin J.D. Vance.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
against eric and laura because they're another power couple that could maybe one day run against vivek against uh elon against trump against the family they're playing behind closed doors trying to find ways to be ways of getting under trump's skin hey you know elon musk bought the presidency he's the puppet master they're gonna try to play these games and if that doesn't work
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
I think you could see 12 years of presidency of Trump and J.D. Vance or others being here, and that 12 years could be a historic 12-year run that will go on.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
predict your book is the next five moves what do you think is the democrat party's next move sure listen you hope they double down please double down go ahead do it go ahead and double down and not learn from you from your mistakes that's kind of like you got a seven game series you're playing against another team in the world series or basketball and you see what plays they keep playing you double down game two you double down game three you double down game four you get swept it's double dumb to do that
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
I don't think they're going to do that. But I think the one person that screwed the whole thing up for Democrats is the great Barack Obama. He's the one that destroyed the whole thing.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
So if you think about what happened the last 18 months with the conservative movement, just kind of go through... 18 months ago puts us June of 2023. OK, June of 2023 is two months after DeSantis comes out with his book. And the conservatives were second guessing Trump. That's kind of seen different factions. They're like, hey, you know, Trump is done.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
We got to move on and we got to go with DeSantis. No, we got to go with this. And now, you know, the establishment. No, no, no. Nikki Haley. If you guys really get Nikki Haley, I'm all in. I know we got to go with this person. And what does Trump do? He's like, I'm sorry, what are we doing? I'm the guy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
But the thing that the establishment left and the establishment right and mainstream media did is they went after the head of the party. The Republican Party, which was Trump, the right move, by the way, because if they take him, if they take him out, everybody else collapses.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
There's a massive division in the Republican Party because now they can use the terms to say, hey, look at the Republicans. They're broken up. They're all over the place. You have the Romney team. You have the Haley team. You have these guys and you have those guys and you have the Vivek and you have the America and you have this. They are scrambling, trying to figure this thing out.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
They try to do it. What does Trump do? He stands tall. And slowly but surely, he wins everybody over on the right. Very, very important. Not easy to do. It was very, very hard because the DeSantis movement was very strong at the early stages of it. And we had him on the podcast and we had great conversations with him there. Now flip it on the other side. Peter Thiel is on the Barry Weiss podcast.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
They're having a conversation. I love what Peter Thiel said in this podcast. He says, you guys don't realize how important 2024 was because he says, I remember when Musk said, I believe 2024 will be the most monumental election of our lifetime. And he says, Peter's like, look, when I hear stuff like that, I'm kind of like, give me a flip and break. He says, so I called Elon. He's telling the story.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And he says, I told Elon, you can't tell me it's a most monumental election. How can you say that? He says, let me tell you, here's why it is. And then he says, the more time went by, he says, the more I realized this was monumental. And here's why. Listen to what he said. Powerful. He says, imagine if Kamala won. You know what Democrats would be able to say today?
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
He says if Kamala won, they would be able to say Trump just got lucky. That was a fluke. MAGA is not real. There is no people out there that want these types of policies. That was a guy that just got lucky one time. It'll never happen again. And they wanted to destroy this entire movement. And by the way, within the movement... You would have Turning Point USA.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
They would have tried to destroy and divide everybody. You got the MAGA. You got everybody. But what happens? Trump wins. So Trump winning, what was a fluke? Oh, the 2020 election was a fluke. That's right. So that was a fluke. And by the way, who chose Biden over Hillary to be the person for 2020? This guy named Barack Obama and Barack Obama to the left is the black Jesus. That's their God.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
That's their MJ. That's the guy that walks on water in their eyes. Right. And then you see him on stage and his voice no longer has credibility. What? You see him on stage, he doesn't sound like himself anymore. Are you kidding? This is the 2004 DNC, one of the greatest speeches ever given in political history. That guy lost it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
He was able to go and sit down with Leno, Letterman, Kimmel, Fallon, anybody, and oh my God, look how amazing he is. You know, the energy that he has. That guy had the biggest loss of his career, the biggest public humiliating loss of his career. What do Democrats do now? They're allowing AOC to be now a story of this guy. You know, hey, she may run for office in 2028.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
So then you have Obama now is sitting there allowing AOC to come in. So let's just kind of play with the games. Like they need their own Elon Musk. We need our own Elon Musk. No, you had your own Elon Musk. No, we need our own Rogan. Who's going to be the Rogan? You see some guys right now seeing this as an opportunity that they're going after Rogan.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And there are guys that were on Rogan four or five times. I won't say their names four or five times that now they're turning against Rogan and trashing Rogan. But the same people that were trashing Rogan were the same people that supported Bernie Sanders. But now Bernie Sanders supports Elon Musk. So what the hell? Who is your God now? They don't have anybody right now.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
Look, this is not a small loss, Charlie. This is if the conservatives, if Trump and the folks that are working closely together, if they can stay united and fight privately, disagree privately, if they can do that... This is a 12 year run. They don't have a solution right now. Their ideas suck. Family ideas they had suck. Hey, you can go get pure puberty blockers to kids.
The Charlie Kirk Show
How Barack Obama Ruined The Democrats ft. PBD
And, you know, are you kidding? Like common sense is sinking in and bad policies got exposed in 2024 in waves we've never seen before. And by the way, that's what happens when you try to bully people. They're eventually going to be like, I'm out. I'm not with you anymore.
