Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where you belong, okay?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Get out of town, get out of town.

Speaker 3 (00:04):
Cuz you don't represent our values.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
You are not New Yorkers. A few moments later.

Speaker 4 (00:11):
But maybe the first step should be go down to
Palm Beach and see who you can.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Bring back home, because our tax base has been eroded.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
So I feel sorry we don't have a problem.

Speaker 4 (00:21):
It is like I have to look at the fact
that we are in competition.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
With other states.

Speaker 5 (00:28):
The only place where money meets politics. And now, here's
the Financial Guys.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Financial guys, the place where money meets politics and got
a little Milton to the side of me.

Speaker 6 (00:52):
Now he's finally going to sleep here right before we're
on here. He's been good. Like I've been here 35,
40 minutes. He has been great.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
And all of a sudden right before I hear like,
don't you dare, don't you dare. So we're going to
see if we can open up the phone lines here.
It's been a little bit since Glenn and I have
been on together. What's, cool about the financial guys now
is we've got this awesome team um not on every
single week you know for 20 something years it was
every single saturday mike and glenn and uh and trust

(01:22):
me we love doing radio but it's you know you
start to realize real quickly that a lot of people
work monday through friday and everything they do is saturday
sunday and then glenn would always say which was true
like you you start to get to it it I
don't want to say ruins your Saturday morning, but you
constantly think, okay, I can't be late for the radio.

Speaker 6 (01:40):
What are we going to talk about?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Right. So it does consume your Saturday morning into, you know,
one to three. So really great to have guys like,
you know, Mike K flick and Russ on last week,
you know, doing an awesome job, uh, social security guys. So, uh,
we're going to start, but you, we've got a lot
of videos that, uh, and you know, I'm a video nut.

Speaker 6 (01:57):
I love the videos, love the content.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Um, you know, what's funny is we've been doing this
so long that, uh, you know, it was actually really
difficult years ago to like play videos and stuff.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
That's how long we've been on radio.

Speaker 7 (02:09):
Right.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
So, and, and I think the first show we did,
it was like, uh, I mean, it was Cuomo.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
We played a bunch of videos on Andrew Cuomo a
long time ago.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
I don't call me.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I was, it could, no, it might've been Spitzer probably Spitzer,
I think, but it was like, Oh wow, this is
a whole new world.

Speaker 7 (02:26):
Right.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Now it's, you know, content is everywhere. So we can start,
why don't we start with, uh, Facebook. You want to
start there?

Speaker 7 (02:32):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
But we've been on the radio for so long that
the original shows we recorded on cassette tape.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
Like when we wanted.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
To record the show yes that's true it wasn't digitally
recorded it wasn't posted online it was yeah it was
just i have nowhere to play it but yeah nothing
to play it on but i have a shoebox full
of old like you know circa 20 2000 2001 this
is crazy right and eventually we started using discs we
were able to burn into a disc we had discs

(03:00):
for a while i mean now it's like That's crazy too.
Nobody even has a disc player anymore. I know.

Speaker 7 (03:06):
It's nuts.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
I may have shared the story.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I've got that old Corvette, old meaning like 2010 Corvette,
and I'm in it with Olivia. Now, my daughter is 19,
and she goes, what is that, Dad? I'm like, that's
a CD player. Oh, jeez. She goes, well, what do
you mean, CD player? I'm like, CDs?

Speaker 6 (03:25):
You don't know what a CD is? You got a
4.0 in college.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
You don't know what a CD is? She goes, well,
I didn't think they put them in cars.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
That was a fancy car back then.

Speaker 8 (03:35):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I said, this is a high dollar. She's like, why
don't you upgrade it? I'm like, because I've got my
CDs right here. You still have them?

Speaker 6 (03:42):
Absolutely.

Speaker 9 (03:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
It's the original radio in the car. I kept it original.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
And I've got my my packet of cds it's.

Speaker 10 (03:50):
Always like a velcro or like a zipper thingy yeah
and look through like.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
A book yep that's exactly what it is yeah you
were there don't act like you're.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah and it's like wow you too come on that's
great actually i'm older than you my buddy matt burned
a bunch of cds for me and so it's sort
of cool i open it up and it's like um
And my buddy Matt was the kind of guy who
would listen to Michael Jackson followed by Metallica. So I

(04:18):
was like, you get everything. So a lot of times
I'll pop them in. It reminds me of the 90s.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
I had the disc changer.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
So you had like three or four.

Speaker 6 (04:26):
Oh, you were rich. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you were rich.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
You lived in a different neighborhood than Glennon.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
No, no, no.

Speaker 10 (04:32):
It was a hand-me-down for my brothers because they were
old and they had a job.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
And so they got new stuff and I would get
all their old stuff.

Speaker 10 (04:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
All right.

Speaker 8 (04:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:40):
That's a sure thing. We should do a show on like,
you know, just old stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (04:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (04:46):
Old stuff.

Speaker 6 (04:46):
We'll do it. You know, we fill in for like,
you know, one of the guys during the week, Beamer
or Bowerly. That'd be a good show. Old stuff. What
was cool?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
What would you like to see? I always say if
I could, I could bring everybody back in time, like
technology wise. If somebody gave me like this magic wand.
I think I'd take us all back to like 1989.
Before all the technology. Yeah, not all of it because
I really do like watching my Bills and Sabres on
TV and sports. I love watching sports, you know, my oldness, steam.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
I love that. What I don't love is breaking news
every 13 seconds.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah, it's not breaking.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
And it was so funny.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
This is years ago, but when I really stopped sort
of like I just had to sort of deprogram my mind,
I saw breaking news on my phone.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
And I thought, oh, what happened? And it was the
housing reports. And that was breaking? Yeah, that's not breaking news.
Breaking news was 9-11. That's breaking news, right?

Speaker 3 (05:39):
You know, there's a huge, you know, fire. Something happened
in your community. That's breaking news. The housing reports, they
just come out all the time. Not breaking news, right?
And I thought, oh, my gosh. Like, this is where
we are in society. So, to me, it's like you
can't get away from it. And, you know, you get
addicted to it. And these reels are my– Amy just
makes fun of me. She's like onto his reels because–

(06:00):
you know and glenn's the same way we've turned into
each other now like shiny ball syndrome i'm like oh
real easy to get miked on a path up oh
wow look at this fishing video before you know it
i can't get off of it like oh is he
gonna catch his musky or not right exactly yeah oh
man so true so true well things a lot of
things have changed obviously the internet changed a lot of

(06:21):
things and now ai is going to be changing a
lot of things a little bit of a market rotation
lately but Certainly the theme and the technology that continues
to come out is just absolutely mind-blowing.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
It's interesting. We played on the podcast.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
I won't play it today, but we played that interview
with Kevin O'Leary talking about this is back from May,
June of this year, where he had a complete cyber attack, basically,
and PR attack, really, against one of his data centers
in Utah that he was trying to put up. And
he traced the money, basically filed the money, filed the
Form 990s and the tax filings and whatnot. Trace it

(06:55):
all back to, I think his name is Neville Singham,
who's the Chinese billionaire who has offices in a shared
building with the Chinese Communist Party, right? All of these
different tentacles fighting against AI and data centers and trying to,
you know, all the PR of don't build on these
things are awful. And, of course, then you have people

(07:17):
like Kathy Hochul, who's just completely clueless, right?

Speaker 6 (07:19):
We've talked about that for a long time. Stupid is dangerous.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Literally had a Chinese spy as her inner circle for
how long? Her entire time in office, basically, right?

Speaker 8 (07:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
So it's, you know, and of course, what policies she
put forth, the only one in the country that I
know of, moratorium on.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
Data centers, right?

Speaker 13 (07:35):
None.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
We don't want to lead that. We don't want to
lead that.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Now, the future of jobs and technology in the world,
not just America, we don't want to lead that.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
No.

Speaker 13 (07:45):
No.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
But she falls right in line with the Chinese Communist Party, right?

Speaker 13 (07:48):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
It's like you just traced the dots, like Chinese Communist
Party funding a huge anti-data center campaign, PR campaign. It
goes through channels money to things like the Socialists of
America and things like that, right? Can't think of a better–
A better town that needs jobs in, I don't know,
like a place like.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
Out of Buffalo maybe? Dunkirk would be great. Dunkirk, Utica?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
I mean, you had a power plant there. I mean,
that would be a great spot. You got water right there.
I'm all for working with you environmental folks about, you know. hey, like,
can we take an old rundown area of one of
these places and bring it back to life?

Speaker 6 (08:23):
I'm up for it. I'm okay.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
What's a better use, windmills or putting in a mini
power plant to fund a data center right there on
that brownfield? I mean, it's... It's again, we're wiping out
farmland and forests for windmills and solar panels.

Speaker 8 (08:38):
Right.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Well, literally, if you understand the regulations and I would
love to get this girl on, I can't think of
her name off top of my head now, but she's
been leading the tip of the spear on highlighting a
lot of this stuff. But they have created an agency
basically to be the end of all agencies.

Speaker 8 (08:52):
Right.

Speaker 6 (08:53):
Is the overarching agency that can override everything.

Speaker 13 (08:56):
Right.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
The DNR, the town or D.C., It doesn't matter. This
is the supreme council in New York for solar panels
and windmills. And they have the power to basically zone
whatever they want. So you're wiping out critical habitat. For
bird species and things like– they don't care. They just

(09:19):
don't care.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
It's incredible, right?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
And yet a dilapidated old rundown power plant or Bethlehem
Steel can't have a– can't even think about a data center.

Speaker 14 (09:29):
No.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
Can't even clean that up. No. Leave it filth for
the crackheads. Leave it filth. Built the warehouse. No problem.
But incredibly, the misinformation. How about that?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
I mean, OK.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Hey, we spent a billion dollars before a billion dollars
mattered or when a billion dollars mattered, I should say.

Speaker 13 (09:47):
Right.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
That was a lot of money back then for the
government to throw away. It's my understanding is mainly vacant.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
That might be a good place for a data center.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Well, but the problem a lot of the times is
the misinformation that goes around.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Right.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
The people, well, they're going to take the water out.
They're going to pollute it, put it back. That's not
how it works.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
It's cooling, right?

Speaker 3 (10:04):
The same way water cools a power plant, you know,
whether it be a coal-fired or natural gas or a
nuclear power plant. In Florida, there's a power plant right
in Fort Pierce, right? Right off where they discharge the
hot water off of Sebastian there, they call it the Boyle's.
Because it's a warm water discharge right there. They take
in the cool ocean water. It cools the turbines. They
release the warm water back to the ocean. The wildlife

(10:26):
thrives there.

Speaker 8 (10:27):
And guess what?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
The fish that don't want to be in the warm water,
they go somewhere else. They just don't hang out there.
They just swim away. It's not that hard.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
By the way, a huge part of saving the manatee.

Speaker 13 (10:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 13 (10:37):
Huge.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
If you look at collectively, they had a huge manatee
problem with, I don't know if it was.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
Cold snaps.

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
And so, I mean, literally wiped out some of the
manatee population. That place saved it. And you can go
there and see. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
It's sometimes hundreds of manatees. Yeah, that's the one down
at Palm Beach. That's so cool.

Speaker 8 (10:53):
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
So the one in Riviera, same thing, though. Same idea, right?
Power plant, discharging warm water.

Speaker 6 (10:58):
Have you ever been there? Oh, yeah, it's incredible.

Speaker 8 (11:00):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's awesome.

Speaker 6 (11:01):
Yeah, a little museum.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
But in the winter when it's cold, when the water's
really cold, you have a manatee pack in there like
a shoulder to shoulder.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
It's incredible. Yeah, no boats to worry about. Nothing's going
to hit them in there.

Speaker 13 (11:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (11:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
It's not– but again, the misinformation that is being put
out and literally being put out through these organizations being
funded by the George Soros of China basically, the Neville Singham.
That should tell every American you need to go for
this big time in the fact that China is trying
to influence the outcome.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
Of that in a negative way, right?

Speaker 8 (11:35):
What does that mean?

Speaker 6 (11:36):
That means China wants to win. Don't let them. That's right.
This is our technology. That's what blows my mind.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
This is the stuff that Americans create, and we allow
them to steal it and then manipulate us and manipulate
the left, right?

Speaker 6 (11:49):
Easy to manipulate. These people are idiots. We'll play a video.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
I want to play a video before maybe the next
segment about– This gentleman who happens to be gay, LBGT, 18, 37,
40 or whatever. And they're like, what would happen if
we dropped you off at the Gaza Strip? He's like, oh,
I don't know. I think my white privilege would get
me through. Yeah, it would get you on top of
a rooftop and kicked off. That's where it would get you.
My white privilege would get me through.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
We'll play the video. It's amazing. Just incredible. You don't
even know what you're protesting for.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
If this comes here, you're dead first. a lot of
these organizations are being funded, whether it be by a
George Soros or a Neville Singham or, or these literally
just bad actors. I mean, these people are just, you know, evil,
you know, what do you call them? Super villains in
a way, right? You look at Elon, like Elon's a
super villain. The guy's trying to, to, to make our
species interplanetary, right? The guy is putting rockets up into space.

(12:42):
He will create the best and the widest internet. While
Mark Poloncarz is still trying to figure out EerieNet and
trying to plug in wires, Elon is literally going to
have coverage for the entire globe. I can't wait, by
the way. I can't wait.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
Starlink, incredible.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Can't wait until we go there because we have so
many issues with our internet. And we have tried everything.
We've got the fastest speed, the brightest people. It's like
I can't– he can't get this coverage up fast enough.
Let me play this video, by the way, of this
gentleman they ask.

Speaker 8 (13:16):
All right.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
Any time now. All right, Mike.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
I'm not a– all right, there we go.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
Sorry.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
Into– are you LGBTQ?

Speaker 12 (13:27):
Yeah, I'm queer.

Speaker 8 (13:29):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Okay.

Speaker 15 (13:30):
What would happen to you if you walked into Gaza
or any place called Palestine?

Speaker 6 (13:37):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (13:38):
Being you.

Speaker 10 (13:40):
I would assume my white privilege would keep me safe
in that aspect.

Speaker 15 (13:43):
Your white privilege in Palestine would keep you safe?

Speaker 6 (13:46):
I would assume. I'm just saying, like, I'm an American.

Speaker 7 (13:49):
I'm white.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
They're not going to, you know.

Speaker 11 (13:51):
What you just said is one of the most insanely
idiotic things I have ever heard.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
This is the problem with these kids. This is what
they're told. This is what they're being told in college.
This is what they're being told by their peers. They're
being told by professors who ultimately in a lot of
cases are being influenced by the Chinese Communist Party. This
is our generation's fight against communism, and it's not Russia
this time. It's always Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia. It's the

(14:18):
Chinese Communist Party. Yeah, it's incredible. It's the it's it's
the Chinese Communist Party taking advantage of left wing idiots.

Speaker 6 (14:25):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Now, who else was on the payroll of the Chinese
Communist Party that we can think of? We know we
know Kathy's aide. We know Dianne Feinstein's driver. We know
Eric Swalwell's.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
Girlfriend.

Speaker 13 (14:38):
Right.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
Who else here? Let's see who else is on the. Oh,
the Biden family. The Biden family, right? Now, let me just,
for all those, and again, I know I'm preaching.

Speaker 6 (14:47):
Forgot about Hunter's prestigious boards appointments. He's already out of money.
He's like, I have no money. It's incredible. We have
no money.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Now that he's not in influential positions anymore to influence
government policy, right? Now, what's in China's best interest, right?
We are in, right now, this is an energy race
for more than anything else, right? We got plenty of chips.
We got plenty of AI. We got plenty of intelligence.
And we got plenty of rockets going up into space
right now, right?

Speaker 6 (15:11):
We need energy. Well, right now, this is the next
couple of years.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
This is an energy battle for the country that is
able to harness as much energy as possible.

Speaker 6 (15:21):
And throughout history.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Right.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
You can look back at human history.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
The countries or the regions that have the most energy
were the most prosperous, period.

Speaker 7 (15:29):
Right.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Which is why China is supporting Iran, because they need
the cheap energy from there. China has no natural resources
when it comes to energy. which is a huge problem
for them. They don't have natural gas. They don't have
their own natural coal. I mean, the only thing they
can do is build nuclear. But everything else, gas and otherwise,
we are very fortunate as a country, right? We are
rich in natural resources. We are rich in natural gas, right?

(15:52):
This is why the drill, baby, drill was so important.
That Keystone Pipeline was so important. That was killed the
first week by the Biden administration. And all of those
leases and those those land easements, all those things expired.
They couldn't read. They couldn't put it. It wasn't like
Trump comes back in and he flips a switch. And
now we're back to building the Keystone Pipeline. Once Biden

(16:12):
killed it, it was over. Now, whose best interest is
it to to de-energy us, right, to to to decrease energy?
Our ability to produce. It's in China's best interest. It's
not in our best interest. Of course, it's not in
our best interest. But these liberals have been brainwashed to
think that somehow Trump is the fascist. Trump is anti-business.

(16:34):
Trump is anti-America. Trump is pro.

Speaker 6 (16:37):
What are you?

Speaker 5 (16:37):
You're crazy.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
Just look at the past. Look, just the opposite. Just
the opposite.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
These liberals, typically white liberal women of have never run businesses.
If just for a second, can we listen to the
business leaders that tell you here's how it is under
Biden and here's how it is now under Trump, right?
Let me just play a couple of these things. For
those in the Trump is a fascist department, which I
know is very few and far between, but there are
a few that just can't. It's like a train wreck

(17:02):
for them. They have to tune in every week. By
the way, Trump has appointed to the highest position ever
for a gay man.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
Treasury secretary. The media just ignores it.

Speaker 13 (17:13):
Right.

Speaker 6 (17:14):
And his first term, the first ever gay cabinet member.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
Right.

Speaker 13 (17:17):
Right.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
And Scott, the Treasury secretary is like, he goes, you
pointed me because I'm good. Right.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Like he goes, he goes, nobody. Some reporters said nobody
really makes a big deal about you being gay. He goes, because, yeah,
because Trump didn't hire me because I'm gay. He hired
me because he thinks I'm going to do a good job.
And I think I am like, good for you. Good
for you.

Speaker 6 (17:36):
God bless you, my friend. That's right.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
This is Ken Griffin talking about– this is going back
a way. This is at Davos. Just talking about the
Biden regulatory environment, and we've talked about this before. The
Obama administration in his eight years added something like a
half a trillion dollars in regulatory burden. What that means
is that's money that has to be spent on regulations
and garbage, basically, right?

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:59):
Filing this report with the government, that report with the government.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Money that can't go into research and development and improving
and building and creating jobs.

Speaker 8 (18:07):
Building, hiring, yes.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
So under Biden though, in just the four years, he
doubled that a trillion dollars in additional regulatory burden. And again,
instead of the, you know, these liberal white women who
think they know everything, let's just listen to like the
Ken Griffin, who's a Citadel CEO, right? Probably one of the,
almost one of the wealthiest guys now. I mean, the
guy has built an incredible, incredible business, right? He's, I mean, he's,

(18:31):
he's guys just, you know, multi-billionaire now, but here's what
he had to say. And I think he's, you know, Obviously,
he knows, right? He's the one dealing with it. He's
got multiple companies.

Speaker 16 (18:39):
Imagine how painful it was each and every day under
the Biden administration to look at what new crazy proposal
was being put into place to solve a problem that
didn't even exist. I mean, our constant friction at Citadel
with the government across umpteen different aspects of our business

(19:04):
was exhausting.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
And to have that literally end on one.

Speaker 16 (19:09):
Day, election day, just gives you so much energy as
an entrepreneur to go back and build your damn business.

Speaker 8 (19:17):
There you go.

Speaker 16 (19:18):
So the biggest sea change I've seen across American executives
has been just like.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
The giant sigh of relief.

Speaker 16 (19:25):
I can now go and focus on building my business.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (19:31):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Now, I think the liberal white woman across from him,
I believe it looks like, is the woman from The
Economist who just did the interview with Elon Musk. And
the look on her face, she just looked at him like–
She can't be happy. No, she is not happy. I mean,
you look at this video. She's looking at him like– like,
how dare you say this?

Speaker 6 (19:51):
He's like, how dare you?

Speaker 3 (19:53):
But he knows other billionaires, right? He knows other huge...
Business leaders, right? He's interacting with them on a regular basis.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Every day, all day.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
He's telling you, listen, this is the burden. Whether it
be human resources, whether it be regulations on finances, whether
it be banking regulations, whether it be– I mean just
for the sake of regulations because that's what bureaucrats do.
What blows my mind is the incompetence, though, of some
of these billionaires that vote for this stuff. I mean,

(20:24):
not to beat him up, but Elon Musk. I mean,
for years he's funding these Democrats. How could two guys
in Buffalo do a radio show and be able to
know what's coming? It's like Wayne Gretzky used to say, hey,
if you want to be good at hockey, you've got
to know where the puck's going. But how could two
guys in Buffalo know where the puck's going and Elon
Musk know? You know, he can put stuff on the moon,
but he can't figure out that these socialists are eventually

(20:46):
going to try to take.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
His business and everything like that. Like, how did you
not see that coming?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
To be fair, though, 15 years, they really weren't socialists
15 years ago. I mean, 15 years ago, like you've
always point out, it was a different Democrat party. You
go back 15 years and you listen to Obama. You
listen to Hillary Clinton. Obama was we saw Obama.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
We saw. No, for sure. For sure.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
That's that's where it changed to your point. And we
were right about that old Democrat party. But the Obama
was different.

Speaker 8 (21:13):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
He showed up and said, hey, you know, we're going
to take a little bit of a knife to government.
But then he'd walk into another room and give a
speech about you're not successful because the government hasn't helped you.

Speaker 6 (21:26):
We were both like, oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Here we go. I think he was the start of
I hate America. He was he turned the Democrat Party
to being. you know, pro-labor, pro-union, but still pro-America, right?
He turned it to anti-America. Like, you now, and you
look at the policies, like I said, Biden's policies of
let's starve America of energy, right? In four years of Trump,

(21:50):
we were energy independent. We went into the Biden administration,
energy independent. He shut that down in the first week.

Speaker 6 (21:58):
Even using our reserves up. Yep, yep. Even putting us in.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
A very, very compromising position of, Gosh, if somebody did
hit us, we don't even have strategic reserves to use.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
I mean, really dumb. Just dumb.

Speaker 8 (22:11):
Dumb.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
By the way, if you're just tuning in, Mike Lomas,
Glenn Wiggle, Financial Guys, the original Financial Guys. And I

We can help you.

And oftentimes, most of the time, we either take the
plan over and it costs you zero because you're already
paying fees.

Speaker 6 (22:54):

I'm not paying anything up. They don't send you statements

Speaker 12 (24:56):
From the WAM 1180 newsroom, I'm Anthony Panazowicz. One man
is hospitalized in stable condition for a gunshot wound suffered
in Rochester Friday night. The man was found shot at
least once near Canton and Freeland streets around 745 before
being taken to the hospital. Police say the shooting stemmed
from an argument and was an isolated incident. A raid
on a Seneca Falls smoke shop has closed the business

(25:17):
and seen one man arrested. The Ricks VIP smoke shop
on State Route 5 was allegedly illegally selling marijuana and
cannabis products as a Dean Al-Hamar of Auburn was arrested
for criminal contempt. This is the third time the same
smoke shop has been shut down since 2024. And a
20-year-old could spend the rest of his life in prison

(25:38):
for the shooting death of a woman in Rochester. Dymere
Bailey was given the maximum sentence of 25 years to
life for the March 2025 shooting of 39-year-old Sandra Blanding.
She was found dead on the sidewalk on Spencer Street,
having been shot multiple times. Your 13 WAM Weather Authority

Before we go back to..

Speaker 6 (31:24):
Oh, Nietzsche's. You wanted to talk about Nietzsche's, Glenn. Ann remembered.
That's what it was.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
So before we go back to whatever it is we're
going to talk about, I did want to plug in
here Donnie Razor and a friend of the show. Donnie,
a very charitable person, always involved, I should say, in
charity and helping with a number of different organizations throughout
the years, but This has been a big one for you, Don.

Speaker 6 (31:50):
Every year, it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Speaker 8 (31:52):
I know.

Speaker 6 (31:55):
Music is art.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
It's close to us. Glenn played drums growing up. In
my next life, I'm going to come back as a
lead singer of Def Leppard. But to me, you know,
what I liked about music as art is that, you know,
I played basketball when I was a kid and I
played football and I didn't get involved in any music. But,
you know, I think it's an area that unfortunately gets neglected.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
Right.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Like you see so many different fundraisers to send the
kids to play baseball or you see, you know, the
football teams needs new equipment. But you don't ever, you know,
see anything happening for kids who want to play drums.

Speaker 6 (32:28):
Or guitar or, you know, or that.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
So.

Speaker 6 (32:31):
And music is art. It's just a cool thing.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
And every year you guys do a big party, a fundraiser,
and maybe we can talk a little bit about what's happening,
where it is, and how people can get involved.

Speaker 7 (32:44):
Yeah, it's coming up on August 13th, Thursday, and it's
going to be at Variety Club headquarters in Lancaster. And
we do this every year. And what we do, music
is art. We buy musical instruments for kids that can't
afford them. And we not only improve their lives, but
the lives of their families. We're very proud to say
that almost 100% of the kids move up in grade

(33:06):
or graduate, and we're very happy about that.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
And it's been a lifelong project.

Speaker 7 (33:11):
For Robbie to help kids get instruments in their hands
and improve their lives. So here's what we have. We
have a bunch of great guitars that we're auctioning off.
And this list is the best list we've ever had. Okay,
we have Eric Clapton. These are a lot of graphs.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
We got an Ozzy Osbourne guitar. We got a Beach
Boys guitar. Kiss.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
We dug out an old David Bowie guitar that we've
had in storage for, geez, had to be 15, 18 years.
We have a Genesis with Phil Collins on it. We
have Metallica. Zeppelin fans, we have Page and Plant. We
have an Iron Maiden. We have a Garth Brooks. We've
got a Van Halen with Eddie on it.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
We have an Eagles.

Speaker 7 (33:54):
We have a Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Springsteen, Bon Jovi, ACDC.
And the Rolling Stones. Then on top of that, we
got some VIP packages. The Goo Goo Dolls are playing
September 3rd in Syracuse. And we have a VIP package
where you get a guitar and you get tickets right
up front and backstage meet and greet with the Goo

(34:15):
Goo Dolls. On top of that, every year we auction
off one backyard party with Robbie. So we'll send Robbie
to your backyard. We set him with a Weber grill.
He'll be there for two hours. And we limit it
to 20 people. And you have a backyard party with
Robbie at your house.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
And you can do that summer, winter, whenever Robbie's available.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
Does that backyard party include karaoke as well or no?

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Here's the deal.

Speaker 6 (34:43):
Last time Robbie did it, he showed up at 6.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7 (34:50):
He showed up at 6 o'clock to the last one.
And we left at 8 because we had another commitment.
And Robbie goes, yeah, not a problem. I'll get myself home.
He left at 1230 in the morning. He was playing music.
He was joking around, telling jokes. And it's a very
up close and personal thing, a chance of a lifetime
to be with a rock star in your backyard or

(35:10):
in your house. Now, we also have silent auction items,
which are over the top this year. We have a
Josh Allen 16x20 autographed. We got a Taylor Swift autographed CD.
Jerry Seinfeld frames a poster. Bill's four-time AFC champ. We

(35:30):
have Rod Stewart autographed and framed a 16x20. We have
a Tage Thompson autographed jersey that's framed. And a Keith
Urban guitar. And those are all on the silent auctions.
And people are always saying, boy, all this stuff is
going to go for big money. Well, the silent auction
stuff really doesn't go for a lot. And then we
have basket raffles, and we're going to have a couple

(35:52):
autographed guitars on that too.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
You can get in and get out and not spend
a lot of money.

Speaker 7 (35:57):
Or if you want to come and buy something memorable
that you'll have for the rest of your life, we
have that also.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
So we have something for everyone.

Speaker 7 (36:06):
It's $ 60 to get in and to get tickets, you
go to musicisart.org.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Musicisart.org. Or I'll give out my cell number. You can
call me. I'll arrange for tickets.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
It's 716- 713-4333, 716-713-4333.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
We limit this to 200 people. That's all we allow.

Speaker 7 (36:22):
It's very up close and personal.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
And then after the auction, Robbie gets up and he
does a set.

Speaker 7 (36:37):
So it's got to be a night to remember. And
then we have Robbie Neubauer opening up. You come in
and it opens up at six o'clock and Robbie, you'll
be singing and you'll have an accompanist on a guitar.
And then, and Robbie also for most of the music
has helped us get all these guitars, get them all
set up, get them all boxed up where you have
some display cases for four of them. So it's going

(37:00):
to be a definitely a night to remember.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Plus we have food.

Speaker 7 (37:03):
We have a barbecue that we do that night.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Beer and wine is included.

Speaker 7 (37:07):
So it's a cheap night out to rub elbows with,
you know, a rock star and to help the community.
And that's this Thursday night at six o'clock on the
13th at Variety Club headquarters on Broadway.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Musicisart.org. Click on it. Brings you right to the dropdown.
Buy your tickets or call me at 716-713-4333. Now I'm

We're open, and we'll be happy to show them to you.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
We've got several on display that we bought last year
right in that little atrium area outside of the training center.
We're going to get another one this year. I want
to start collecting them. I think it's such a cool thing.
It's a cool conversation piece. It helps an amazing cause.

Speaker 6 (38:44):
Great cause.

Speaker 8 (38:45):
We'll be there.

Speaker 6 (38:45):
For sure.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
I should be there, so you'll be able to rub
elbows with, like as he said, with a rock star, me.
And Robbie Takek will.

Speaker 8 (38:54):
Be there, too. Right, sure.

Speaker 14 (38:56):
M2.

Speaker 3 (38:56):
M2. All right. What am I going to talk about? Nietzsche's?
You had some video.

Speaker 6 (39:02):
Let me go back.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Yeah, let's stick with the theme. We'll get to Nietzsche's
in the second hour, if Ann can remind us. I
want to play this because we'll forget.

Speaker 6 (39:11):
Yeah, that works.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
We'll never play it. It'd be like Tuesday. I'd be like, oh,
I wanted to stick with the, you know, the the
the whole idea. And again, it's like there's two different
realities that and this can't persist.

Speaker 5 (39:24):
Right.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
At some point, the media has got to be reined
in to start telling the truth.

Speaker 6 (39:29):
I don't know if that.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Means we have to repeal the– whatever Biden or Obama
did with the month dash, whatever it's called. I don't
claim to be an expert on that stuff. But all
I know is it's propaganda now. There are definitely– I
mean if you look back at let's just say the
last five to ten years … You could see Fox
is number one by far when it comes to cable news.

Speaker 6 (39:50):
Most people have just tuned it out.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
I mean that's– but to your point, the ones that
are watching are being brainwashed with it, right? Well, the
ones that are tuned out, if they're not on a
place like Twitter, they're not getting any news. Like they
have no idea what's.

Speaker 8 (40:03):
Going on anywhere.

Speaker 6 (40:04):
Couldn't even tell you who's on local news anymore. Remember
when we were kids?

Speaker 3 (40:07):
No.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
Oh, of course. It's channel seven. Do you know where
your children are?

Speaker 1 (40:11):
Right.

Speaker 13 (40:11):
Right. Right.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
And most of the parents are like, no, no, we
don't really know.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
Have you seen him? No, not. I mean, don't be running.

Speaker 13 (40:20):
Right.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
Exactly. I'm going to go eventually. Anyway, but we knew,
I mean, when I was a kid, you knew everybody, right?

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (40:25):
Two, four, seven.

Speaker 9 (40:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:26):
And when you're out in the community, you're like, oh my,
that's so-and-so. I think there's a lot of people that
are still like that though.

Speaker 8 (40:32):
There's a lot of people that get their news.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
Holy cow.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
There's one guy that I follow on Twitter. Um, That
had his eyes open. He was, you know, quote unquote,
red pilled.

Speaker 8 (40:40):
Right.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
He was in the with a with a hurricane wiped
out that part of upper northwestern Carolina and Asheville area, whatnot,
hugely damaging. He watched firsthand what the government did and
didn't do for people.

Speaker 13 (40:52):
Right.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
And really turned his brain. But as he said it,
he goes, listen, you have to understand, I'm not a
dumb person, but when I woke up in the morning,
I would make my coffee and make my eggs and
I would turn on the TV and I would get
the morning program.

Speaker 6 (41:04):
Whether it was ABC, NBC, CBS, it didn't matter.

Speaker 8 (41:07):
It didn't matter.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
It was all the same property. And then I would
get on the ride to work and I would pop
in a podcast. Again, Echoing the same message, right? ICE
is bad, let's just say, right? ICE is tracking people
down and murdering them. I mean, when you look at
the actual numbers, in reality, if there was truthful reporting,
you'd say, oh, well, Obama killed a lot more people
than the Trump administration has thus far, right? And I

(41:29):
don't know what the reasons were in those cases, but
I know the cases with the Trump administration, there are
people trying to run the ICE people down with their automobiles.

Speaker 6 (41:37):
They were trying to kill them.

Speaker 7 (41:38):
Right.

Speaker 6 (41:40):
But the brainwashing. And so he would carry out.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
He said, listen, then I would get my news alerts
when I was at work, and that would be from
the New York Times reiterating the same thing. Person killed
in Wisconsin.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
Ice person killed uh you know ice killed another person
in maine but.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
Blah blah blah and i would get home and i
would watch.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
The nightly news it would be the same again yeah
so by the end of the day he's like listen
i'm getting the same story over and over and over
and over again and of course i begin to you
everyone believes that right so we have these two different
realities where the media has painted donald trump and his
administration as these fascists these These anti-American, they're going to

(42:15):
take away your rights. But the rights that were taken
away were all taken away under Biden, right? We lost
a right to worship and go to church. It's the
same old, same old. Whatever they say they're going to do,
the opposite is true. We've got to take a quick break.

Speaker 6 (42:28):
All right, we'll play this. Mike Lomas, Glenn Wiggle Financial guys.
We'll be right back.

Speaker 20 (42:32):
Nothing says honesty like taking the fifth, huh, Doc?

Speaker 1 (42:34):
Let's try something. What day of the week is it today?

Speaker 6 (42:37):
On the advice of counsel.

Speaker 22 (42:39):
I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the.

Speaker 8 (42:43):
Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
What color tie are you wearing?

Speaker 21 (42:46):
On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer
based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

Speaker 20 (42:53):
Let's just get one thing straight. You don't have any
rights under the Fifth Amendment because you've been pardoned. As
you very well know, as the Supreme Court has been
clear for a century and more, Brown v. Walker, 1896,
when he has been pardoned, he may not stand upon
his privilege.

Speaker 6 (43:07):
You know that.

Speaker 20 (43:08):
Your lawyers sitting behind you now shifting nervously in their chairs,
they know it. This isn't about the Constitution. This isn't
about the law. This is about contempt. Contempt for this
body and contempt for the American people.

Speaker 5 (43:19):
You're listening to the Financial Guys radio show.

Speaker 23 (44:24):
250 years ago, America declared independence. And with the Erie Canal,
Buffalo boomed into an economic powerhouse. Today, Democrat mayors admit
the city's falling apart.

Speaker 21 (44:33):
Why do we need to raise taxes? Because our city
is broke and it's literally falling apart. About half of
our garbage trucks don't work. Potholed streets, community centers are
falling apart.

Speaker 23 (44:44):
And their solution? Raising your taxes and taking more of
your hard-earned money. More where this came from on the
Financial Guys podcast, streaming on all platforms.

Speaker 9 (44:53):
Once a month, our five city-run grocery stores will set
prices for this core set of goods at 30% below
typical retail prices. No exceptions, no gimmicks. The savings will
last for the entire month. That means no weekly fluctuations
nor sticker shock at the checkout line.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
The city of chicago ended up funding this grocery store
it's called save a lot and there was a lot
of of investment into it and yet in a very
short period of time they had to close.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
You're listening to the financial guys radio show news radio
web 1180 all.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
Right welcome back mike lomas club wiggle financial guys place
where money meets politics if you need us throughout the
week folks if you think like us monday through friday
we get to work with folks at Think like us.
You know, you need help with your retirement planning, protecting
your money, estate planning and how to pass it on
to the next generation. You know, we've got some strategic
relationships with, you know, some pretty big estate planning law

(45:49):
firms in the western New York area. And I say
that because, you know, oftentimes, most of the time, 99
percent of the time, it's in your best interest to
sit down with, you know, either a registered investment advisor
or a certified financial planner and And talk out your
estate plan, and then you bring in the attorneys, right?
Because a lot of times the attorneys will start to
charge right away, and you don't even really know what

(46:11):
your goals are, objectives are, right?

Speaker 6 (46:12):
So by having that.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Team in place, we can be there to say, hey,
let me help guide you through this. And it'll save
you a lot of money when it comes to estate planning.
It'll also put you in the right spot. where it
comes to passing your money on to the next generation
and protecting your money.

Speaker 6 (46:30):
So 833-FIN-GUYS if you need our help.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
And we actually have in the office, Anthony Zeffler is
a certified estate planning expert. So not a lot of
certified experts when it comes to things like estate planning
or social security planning. We've got certified social security claiming strategists.
So we've got a team in place. I always say
the bench is very deep and we work as a team.
So 833-FIN-GUYS. Rochester, by the way, And we'll get to

(46:54):
some Rochester news. A lot of Rochester news, by the way,
this week with ICE protesters. Another great year of the
Puerto Rican festival. So another 14-year-old girl killed, sadly. It's
just tragic. They just cannot keep the violence in control.

Speaker 8 (47:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Well, what about the Cheektowaga couple? They get five years
probation for starving their child?

Speaker 6 (47:15):
I think five months.

Speaker 19 (47:16):
Oh, sorry.

Speaker 6 (47:16):
Five months. Was it five years? No, it's five years.
Five years probation.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
But still, it's probation. Probation at all. How do you
starve a child to death and get five years probation?

Speaker 6 (47:25):
Any probation. 50 years probation. That's garbage.

Speaker 8 (47:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Garbage.

Speaker 8 (47:29):
Terrible neglect.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (47:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Anyway, we'll get to some Rochester stuff in the next hour.
If you starved an iguana, you should get three years.

Speaker 6 (47:39):
Well, you do. You do.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
Oftentimes, you get more for animal abuse than child abuse
in this case.

Speaker 6 (47:44):
Anyway. Unbelievable. It's just sad.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
But the judges, again, there's a website out there now
that people are contributing to and somebody has put up.
I don't know what the name of it is, but
I'm sure you can search it. That is starting to
hold these, at least... put the judges up online and
what the people that they've released, basically. Like, here's the
ruling on this sex offender that they released. Oh, and
here's the person that went on to rape a four-year-old. Oh,
look at that, right? Time and time again. And it's

(48:09):
the same judges. And again, most of the time, not always,
but a lot of the time, it's liberal white women
that are these judges that somehow..

Speaker 6 (48:19):
What is it saying?

Speaker 3 (48:20):
Empathy to the, to the, to the, to the criminal is, is,
is a crime to the victim. I mean, it's just, again,
I'm all for empathy for certain things, right?

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Sure.

Speaker 6 (48:30):
Child abuse. Not one of them. Not one of them. Right.

Speaker 10 (48:34):
Nope.

Speaker 6 (48:35):
Anyway.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
So let me just get back to, you know, the,
the parallel universe that again, because of the media, there's
no question, right? When you walk around and you, you
can't even have a conversation now with, with the people
on the other side sometimes, because they're, they're, But again,
they're so far propagandized in what they believe. Trump is

(48:56):
a fascist. Trump is creating all these– Trump is taking
away your rights. Well, what rights did we lose under Trump?
None thus far, right? What rights did we lose under Biden?
We lost the right to assemble for a while, right?
Even still to this day in Rochester, no more than
10 people after 10 o'clock getting together.

Speaker 6 (49:12):
Well, that's a right to assemble.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
That's a constant now i get what you're trying to
do with with the curfews and curb the violence but
the reality of it is well there's a better way
to fix that better way to fix that that's scumbags
in jail yeah not tell people they can't assemble right
that's a constitutional right right right um what else did
i do think about think about in buffalo the guys
the there's a shooter at a street party, and they

(49:36):
go after the guy who's running the music and the party,
not the shooter.

Speaker 6 (49:40):
Exactly. Not the shooter.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Which, by the way, they put a bounty out for
the promoter of like $ 2, 500. The guy fled town, I'm sure,
but smartly so. But not for the shooters.

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Literally.

Speaker 6 (49:53):
Why would they not put a bounty out for..

Speaker 3 (49:55):
If you have information on the shooter, $ 10, 000 bounty, so
we can arrest the perpetrator and get the..

Speaker 8 (49:59):
No, no.

Speaker 6 (50:00):
No, we got to go after the organizer. I mean,
it is just..

Speaker 3 (50:04):
Anyway, so I played in the earlier segment Ken Griffin
from the Citadel talking about the regulatory burden being lifted
the day that Trump was elected, right? The constant onslaught
of regulation from the Biden administration and for all aspects,

(50:25):
in every department, right? It would be human resources or
finance or– I mean even in New York, think about
all the things you have to– you have to keep
track of this and keep track of that and now
keep track of vacation hours and roll this over this way.
It's just– it's rules for the sake of making rules.
And the reality of it is a lot of the
people that make these rules, these bureaucrats, these college-educated folks, right?

(50:46):
They have no other worth in society, to be honest, right?
Their only worth is to create some worth, right?

Speaker 6 (50:51):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
They try to create some level of relevancy by lording
over everybody else.

Speaker 6 (50:57):
They create a problem where there's not one.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
We talk about that in our businesses a lot. Like,
is there an actual problem there?

Speaker 13 (51:04):
Right.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
If there's not an actual problem, we don't need more
rules to create a problem that's not there. Creating regulations
to solve problems that don't exist, right?

Speaker 6 (51:12):
But there is a pension plan involved in that. There
is a pension plan. Now, here's Zuckerberg, right?

Speaker 8 (51:16):
There is some overtime.

Speaker 6 (51:18):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (51:19):
Here's Zuckerberg now. He's a leftist, right? He funded a
lot of the Biden administration, right? But even he has
to admit, you know, how bad the... Again, so what
did we lose under Biden? We lost the freedom of
speech in some cases, right? I know platforms have the
ability to do whatever. The reality of it is, is
that you deplatformed people. You took away that space for

(51:40):
them to communicate, right? Even though they had the ability
to go out and communicate and yell from the corner
if they wanted to.

Speaker 6 (51:46):
The reality of it is... Not really. Right. Not really.
Couldn't go to schools. Couldn't go to.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (51:51):
When you couldn't go into your favorite restaurant where you might,
you know.

Speaker 8 (51:54):
Right.

Speaker 20 (51:54):
Business.

Speaker 9 (51:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (51:55):
Couldn't assemble. Couldn't assemble. Well, and then you could, but
you had the army crawl in. Right. Right.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
But the reality of it is, again, is that the
rights that were taken away were taken away from the
Biden administration, not from Trump.

Speaker 13 (52:06):
Right.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
The the the the the ability to to talk about
the Biden laptop. being Biden's actual laptop, not Russian. You
were barred, right? You want to talk about election integrity.

Speaker 6 (52:20):
How is it?

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Just you could ask a simple question. You would have
been thrown off of Twitter, right? You'll still get thrown
off of Facebook, by the way. Zuckerberg for all he talks.
You know, riddle me this, Batman, right? You tell me
that all the states are regulated separately when it comes
to how they administer their elections, which is true. There's
a reason for that, right? You want some sort of,
you know, decentralization. I understand that. that how did all
six states that were the most important states stop counting

(52:43):
at the same time? Who coordinated that if they're all
independent of each other and they all did the exact
same things? How is it that the only states Democrats
win are the ones that don't want voter ID, right?
How is that? How is that? Why are they so
concerned about that? Now, Amandami, by the way, we may
have mentioned this during the podcast, but his plan for

(53:06):
regulating his new grocery stores is the ID card.

Speaker 6 (53:09):
So you don't get too much of food.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
So you're going to need an ID to get into
his government grocery stores, which will never end up getting billed.
But let's just say they do. If they do, boy,
you want your cheese? You're going to have to have
an ID. Now, if you want to come and vote
for Mom Donnie, it doesn't matter. You don't need any ID. Well,
now they're uncovering data in New York that looks like
he wasn't even legally elected. I mean, again, they have

(53:31):
found enough votes that are illegitimate.

Speaker 13 (53:34):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (53:35):
That he won by less than that margin.

Speaker 8 (53:37):
Right.

Speaker 6 (53:38):
I mean, it's over.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
It checks it. We found the same thing now in
Georgia and Arizona.

Speaker 6 (53:43):
Democrats, by the way. Katie should not be governor of
Arizona at all.

Speaker 10 (53:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (53:47):
Right.

Speaker 6 (53:47):
The Democrats, they're lying to you. That's who they're lying
to you. Right. You pick the other guy and he
didn't win because they cheated. They cheated you.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Right.

Speaker 13 (53:58):
Right.

Speaker 8 (53:59):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
Here's Zuckerberg, though. You know, again, a leftist who funded
a lot of this stuff. Talking about the Biden administration.
How could he be so stupid? How could he be
this dumb? So smart and so dumb. Well, I think
he learned his lesson, sadly. We'll see. We'll find that
he's more money than Democrats. Well, if he finds a

(54:22):
way to make money off it, I'm sure he will.
But here's him talking about, again, the restriction of freedom
of speech. What does this sound like? You would think
it was Trump by the way the media makes this out.

Speaker 6 (54:32):
This was Biden. This was his administration.

Speaker 22 (54:35):
These people from the Biden administration would call up our
team and like scream at them and curse.

Speaker 6 (54:42):
And it's like these documents are, it's all kind of
out there. Did you record any of those phone calls?

Speaker 8 (54:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 22 (54:48):
I don't think, I don't think we were, but, but
I think I want to listen. I mean, there are emails,
the emails are published. It's all, it's all kind of
out there. And, um, and they're like, And basically, it
just got to this point where we were like, no,
we're not going to take down things that are true.

Speaker 6 (55:03):
I hate when they add back problems. Was that necessary?

Speaker 22 (55:06):
Take down this meme of Leonardo DiCaprio looking at a
TV talking about how 10 years from now or something,
you're going to see an ad that says, okay, if
you took a COVID vaccine, you're eligible for this kind
of payment. It was sort of like class action lawsuit
type meme. And they're like, no, you have to take

(55:26):
that down. We said, no, we're not going to take
down humor and satire. We're not going to take down
things that are true.

Speaker 6 (55:32):
But they did.

Speaker 22 (55:33):
And then at some point, I guess, I don't.

Speaker 6 (55:38):
Know, it flipped a bit.

Speaker 22 (55:39):
I mean, Biden, when he was, he gave some statement
at some point, I don't know if it was a
press conference or to some journalists where he basically was like,
these guys are killing people. And, I don't know, then like,
all these different agencies and branches of government basically just
like started investigating coming after our company.

Speaker 6 (55:58):
It was, it was brutal.

Speaker 8 (55:59):
It was brutal. Crazy.

Speaker 6 (56:01):
You do what we say.

Speaker 10 (56:02):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (56:02):
You do what we say.

Speaker 8 (56:04):
Yep.

Speaker 10 (56:04):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (56:04):
It wasn't by massive overstepping.

Speaker 8 (56:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
You weren't killing people.

Speaker 6 (56:10):
So that's the crazy thing, right?

Speaker 3 (56:11):
That was Biden's administration calling, screaming at them when there
was news that they didn't like.

Speaker 6 (56:16):
Right.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
Right.

Speaker 3 (56:17):
Going, sending in all the different agencies. They've done the
same thing to Elon Musk.

Speaker 13 (56:22):
Right.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
To try to do everything they possibly can. It's disgusting.
And then when you don't go with them, they're going
to try to intimidate you and do whatever they can
to destroy you.
