00:00:00.160 Transition to a different story. Tom, I'm going to come to you with this one. It's going to be California.
00:00:03.680 So California, by the way, the governor came out and publicly his campaign, I think it's called 960.
00:00:11.840 Because he told in front of a group of African-Americans that he got an SAT score 960. 0.60
00:00:19.180 And that he's not smart like everybody. And he says if his speeches were written, he wouldn't be able to do it.
00:00:24.280 Jeez. And the only thing he was missing in this video is a hot sauce in his pocket to pull out and say that he carries with himself all the time.
00:00:32.140 But that's somebody else's shtick. Rob, go ahead and play this clip. Go for it.
00:00:35.660 I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you. I'm just trying to impress upon you. I'm like you. I'm no better than you.
00:00:45.620 You know, I'm a 960 SAT guy. And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone.
00:00:53.120 You know, trying to act all there if you got 940.
00:00:56.740 Oh, my God.
00:00:59.100 Literally a 960 SAT guy. I cannot. You've never seen me read a speech.
00:01:05.800 Because I cannot read a speech.
00:01:09.680 This may be the wrong business to be here.
00:01:11.420 What is he talking about?
00:01:13.380 Huh?
00:01:16.180 Okay, can we, in this room, everybody, whatever you're doing at your house, you're in your garage, you're making coffee.
00:01:21.800 Do you understand? A white man is in Georgia sitting on stage with a black man who is the mayor, Andre Dickens, and he's basically slowing down his speech and saying, like, I'm dumb like y'all. 0.98
00:01:35.860 Like, I barely passed the SATs because I'm dumb like y'all. 0.99
00:01:40.840 Like, this is the Joe Biden, if y'all don't need to decide whether you need to vote for me or Trump, you ain't black. 1.00
00:01:48.040 And I'm at my wit's end with the black people that are out there in that room and all across the Charlemagne, the gods and all these losers. 1.00
00:01:57.100 Like, when are you going to step up and say, this is absolutely appalling and it's racist? 0.98
00:02:01.620 And I hate to be the guy to be like, if it was the other side, but if it was the other side, if a governor, name a Republican governor.
00:02:08.580 Go ahead, Tom.
00:02:09.960 Name a Republican governor.
00:02:11.540 DeSantis.
00:02:12.100 If DeSantis was on stage with a black mayor from Georgia and was like, man, I'm like y'all. 0.67
00:02:17.740 And he's throwing in the, like, he's a preacher, like a black preacher. 0.77
00:02:21.740 Where is the outrage? 0.88
00:02:23.040 Where is the outrage?
00:02:23.760 You don't think he was being sincere?
00:02:25.540 No, this is pandering.
00:02:26.420 Hold on.
00:02:26.740 This is racist pandering.
00:02:28.540 You don't think this is sincerity, Tom? 0.89
00:02:29.780 No, but it drives me crazy.
00:02:32.700 Think about it. 0.97
00:02:33.400 Schumer and the Democratic Party don't think black people know how to get an ID to vote. 0.97
00:02:37.980 Kathy Hochul, remember when she said black kids from the Bronx don't know what a computer is? 0.84
00:02:41.960 And then with Joe Biden and now this guy. 0.68
00:02:44.400 And the black community is quiet. 0.58
00:02:47.600 How are you sitting on the sideline?
00:02:49.980 If, Pat, if I was black and I was in that crowd, I would have stood up and be like, wait, wait, what are you talking about? 0.92
00:02:55.760 I would have been kicked out of that room. 0.90
00:02:57.360 I would have been kicked out. 1.00
00:02:58.660 But beyond pandering, Tom, he's basically saying, guys, I'm stupid, too. 1.00
00:03:02.780 You're stupid. 1.00
00:03:03.920 I'm stupid. 1.00
00:03:04.660 I don't know how to read. 1.00
00:03:05.720 Like, you got. 0.95
00:03:06.680 No, Adam, that's basically what he's saying is, hold on, let me do the leg fold because his crotch is gone. 0.86
00:03:12.460 He's like, I eat mac and cheese.
00:03:14.460 I'm from the hood. 1.00
00:03:15.540 I'm stupid. 1.00
00:03:16.500 I'm stupid. 1.00
00:03:17.300 You know what I mean? 1.00
00:03:17.760 Like, y'all, I don't know how to read a speech.
00:03:19.640 So you mean to tell me the governor of California can't read?
00:03:23.600 That's what he's saying.
00:03:24.340 If you can't read a speech, you can't read anything.
00:03:27.400 And I'm sorry for me.
00:03:28.500 Pat, it drives me crazy because none of them say anything.
00:03:31.260 Let me show you a clip and then Adam, Tom, I'm going to come to you guys.
00:03:34.300 Oh, my God, bro.
00:03:34.740 Rob, show the clip when the reporter is asking him about cost of living in California and how he answers.
00:03:42.060 Go ahead, Rob.
00:03:42.560 This is CNN.
00:03:44.400 California has the highest cost of living in the nation.
00:03:47.340 The state's prices are 11% higher than the national average.
00:03:50.720 We were actually out to dinner here in Nashville last night.
00:03:53.320 We met a couple from California.
00:03:55.380 They moved out of California because they couldn't afford the rent or even to buy a home and also start a family.
00:04:01.140 Yeah.
00:04:01.440 We've had hundreds of thousands of people move in California.
00:04:04.000 The last two, three years we've seen population growth.
00:04:06.740 As you know, we've moved from sixth to the fourth largest economy in the world.
00:04:09.940 We dominate now in every key industry from AI, quantum, robotics.
00:04:14.560 We dominate in ag.
00:04:16.260 We dominate forestry.
00:04:17.340 People are struggling to afford things like your mom was. 0.79
00:04:20.360 Oh, she jumped the mom thing. 1.00
00:04:22.500 But, but, and again, professional.
00:04:24.840 You have to give, like, he's such a good serpent in the grass.
00:04:29.920 He knows exactly.
00:04:30.720 By the way, I even forgot what the question was because he's like, we're dominating.
00:04:34.260 I'm using my hands.
00:04:35.180 Look at my hands.
00:04:36.020 Don't look at the lies that are coming out of the mouth, out of my mouth.
00:04:38.800 He's the future.
00:04:39.720 He's the future of their party, Tom.
00:04:41.180 Him and the Mamdani's and the AOC's, Tom, that's them. 0.97
00:04:45.100 Beware.
00:04:46.420 The, the, the pandering makes me sick.
00:04:49.380 Um, the pandering has gone on from the Democrats for a long time.
00:04:53.000 And when African Americans and people go out there and express independence, um, you know,
00:05:00.440 Stephen A. Smith is not out there screaming like a conservative, but he takes a moderate
00:05:05.400 point of view and he's calling things out that he doesn't like.
00:05:07.880 And there are some that do it, but suddenly they call you names.
00:05:11.680 Oh, you're betraying us or you're going the other way.
00:05:14.080 They're expected to stay in lockstep.
00:05:16.600 In lockstep voting for people that pander to you like this.
00:05:20.300 In lockstep to a guy that comes in there.
00:05:22.800 You have to remember Obama did it too.
00:05:24.860 Because Obama didn't have street cred with the African Americans in America.
00:05:29.920 When he would come and give speeches, he didn't have the cred.
00:05:33.000 And if you look at some of these speeches, he started dropping his R's and talking, talking
00:05:38.520 with that.
00:05:39.480 Don't do the hard R, Tom.
00:05:40.660 Yeah.
00:05:41.280 Talking with this tone and everything, you know, I'm one of y'all and down.
00:05:45.740 And it's like, it's just pandering.
00:05:47.660 It's absolute pandering.
00:05:49.020 And they're waking up.
00:05:50.080 The voters are waking up.
00:05:51.580 There are African Americans that are waking up.
00:05:53.600 They're thinking for themselves that are saying, listen, I will not be automatically assumed
00:05:59.120 to be your voting block.
00:06:00.220 Look, I'm there.
00:06:01.360 And we've seen it moving election by election.
00:06:04.180 And I hope that the, look, the numbers are screaming.
00:06:06.840 They used to hold 92% of the African American vote.
00:06:12.420 It was less than that in this last election with Trump.
00:06:15.400 I don't have the number handy.
00:06:16.360 I wish I did.
00:06:17.340 But that's exactly what you're seeing.
00:06:19.180 And this, this is racist and just insidious pandering here. 0.59
00:06:23.980 It really makes me sick.
00:06:25.520 And remember, to those of you in the African American community, ask yourself a question.
00:06:31.200 Where has it improved?
00:06:33.220 I'm going to give you this.
00:06:34.560 Have you got it?
00:06:35.560 I'm going to do this for you.
00:06:36.940 Have you got it? 0.85
00:06:37.940 As I've said before, these folks in Planned Parenthood have run a black genocide upon you 0.93
00:06:44.260 through abortion.
00:06:45.640 If you take a look at the number of aborted babies and you go back and you look at it,
00:06:49.840 14% of our population, proud African American citizens.
00:06:54.080 40% of the abortions.
00:06:55.840 Why is that?
00:06:56.720 Because they want that.
00:06:58.060 Yep.
00:06:58.160 They want that.
00:06:59.220 And if that hadn't happened, would it be the size of the African American community in
00:07:04.320 America?
00:07:05.020 What would be the size of that?
00:07:06.400 25, 30%?
00:07:07.400 Would they have tolerated?
00:07:07.980 Would they have tolerated being used at the voting booth and then given nothing at the
00:07:12.740 legislative cycle to improve schools, communities, opportunities?
00:07:16.860 No, they wouldn't.
00:07:17.880 And Obama wouldn't have been the first African American president.
00:07:20.880 He would have been the second or third.
00:07:22.640 Thurgood Marshall's son would have been the first, in my view.
00:07:25.400 Bingo.
00:07:27.320 Adam.
00:07:28.500 Yeah, well, let's make racism great again.
00:07:31.480 You know, we see in the NFL, we're going to end racism.
00:07:34.220 So there's two types of racism.
00:07:35.840 There's the open, overt racism, which, to be honest with you, I'm better with because
00:07:41.560 you just come out and say it, bro.
00:07:42.920 Say how you feel.
00:07:43.620 Then there's the other racism, which is like the low-key racism, which I believe George
00:07:49.500 W. Bush called the soft bigotry of low expectations.
00:07:53.580 Remember that?
00:07:54.600 You know, he had a few famous quotes, you know, fool me once, can't get fooled again.
00:07:57.080 The turrets.
00:07:57.660 The turrets.
00:07:58.160 The turrets.
00:07:59.020 But the soft bigotry of low expectations.
00:08:01.020 What are the soft bigotry of low expectations?
00:08:03.240 I don't expect a lot from you.
00:08:05.600 I have very low standards from you.
00:08:07.480 So if you don't excel, if you don't have a high performance, if you don't excel and
00:08:11.360 succeed, it's because it's who you are.
00:08:13.920 And then it becomes a self-fulfilling cycle of, of course you're not going to do good.
00:08:19.880 Of course you're not going to read.
00:08:21.060 Of course you're not going to succeed.
00:08:22.480 Bless you.
00:08:22.960 Sneeze on the truth.
00:08:24.040 Bless you, Lord.
00:08:24.920 Bless you.
00:08:25.420 Then you're going to carry tobacco in your purse. 0.76
00:08:27.860 Then you're going to say that you ain't black if you won't vote for me. 1.00
00:08:30.780 So then Gavin Newsom, who's trying to appeal to the black vote, goes, I'm dumb too, y'all. 0.99
00:08:36.400 I got a 960. 0.99
00:08:37.640 I can't even read.
00:08:39.040 That part I believe.
00:08:39.880 And look at me lead.
00:08:40.460 I believe the 960.
00:08:41.060 I can't even read.
00:08:41.760 I can't even lead.
00:08:42.460 Tom, what did you get on the SAT?
00:08:44.920 When I took it, 11, 1120.
00:08:49.060 So you're not even that smart?
00:08:50.520 I did better than you?
00:08:51.440 Be honest, Vinny.
00:08:52.200 Unbelievable.
00:08:52.960 What'd you get?
00:08:54.540 I don't want to do that.
00:08:55.400 I don't want to do that.
00:08:55.420 I don't want to do that.
00:08:56.720 I don't want to do that.
00:08:57.260 Be honest.
00:08:57.840 What'd you get?
00:08:58.680 I don't want to do that.
00:08:59.660 It was not good.
00:09:00.620 What was yours?
00:09:01.400 Probably like 8 something.
00:09:03.040 Okay.
00:09:03.380 What was yours?
00:09:04.800 1220.
00:09:05.560 You got 1220. 1.00
00:09:06.800 Damn, smarty man. 1.00
00:09:07.740 But I cheated, bro. 1.00
00:09:08.760 Because a lot of Asian kids in my class.
00:09:10.140 Vinny, you and I are right next to each other, buddy.
00:09:12.120 That's what I'm saying, Doc.
00:09:12.340 Let's go.
00:09:13.060 But let me tell you, you know what?
00:09:15.580 My SATs got me a scholarship to Glendale Community College.
00:09:17.900 Really?
00:09:18.360 Yeah.
00:09:18.780 Full-ride scholarship.
00:09:19.360 If it wasn't for that, then you wouldn't do that.
00:09:21.020 By the way, can you imagine at this table, Adam got a better SAT score than Tom.
00:09:26.260 Well, Tom fell asleep.
00:09:27.380 By the way, Tom's daughter got a 1560 out of 1600.
00:09:30.620 Bailey got like, you know what that means?
00:09:32.220 She got like one or two wrong.
00:09:34.160 Those that can't do teach.
00:09:36.060 And Tom taught his daughters well.
00:09:38.140 Oh, there we go.
00:09:39.480 Tom, it's a joke, buddy.
00:09:40.880 It's a joke.
00:09:41.420 Don't get red.
00:09:42.060 There we go.
00:09:43.020 Don't get red, Tom.
00:09:43.880 You know what?
00:09:44.440 It's okay.
00:09:45.420 Let's go.
00:09:45.920 Tom, it's okay.
00:09:46.440 I beat you in the SATs.
00:09:47.540 Are you ready?
00:09:48.260 Let's get Babs on the podcast and have her tell you the amazing story of how upset they were. 0.67
00:09:56.660 Because I stayed out late.
00:09:58.440 I fell asleep during the last section of the SAT.
00:10:02.260 It's a true story.
00:10:03.360 Well, I have a story about my SAT, but I'm not going to get into it.
00:10:06.260 Why'd you fall asleep during the SATs?
00:10:07.980 You think you're better than the SATs?
00:10:09.540 I did an abacadabra.
00:10:10.700 I just put abacadabra and it didn't work.
00:10:12.320 Math, to me, I nailed math.
00:10:13.700 But to me, I was like, I'm out with English.
00:10:15.960 We were playing spades with my Armenian crew.
00:10:18.840 And I think right after taking SATs, a month or two later, I joined the Army.
00:10:23.800 Go ahead.
00:10:24.160 You were telling me.
00:10:24.840 Well, speaking of black culture, I remember you told this story.
00:10:28.520 I think you were in D.C. and you saw these sharp-dressed black men coming out in suits, 0.95
00:10:34.280 looking like a million bucks.
00:10:36.040 They were like the young.
00:10:37.260 Yes.
00:10:37.940 Yes.
00:10:38.480 Who were those guys?
00:10:39.320 They were young lawyers, African-American women and men looking amazing.
00:10:46.120 I went and I said, what are you guys doing here?
00:10:48.100 What year was that?
00:10:48.860 2,000 of us.
00:10:49.180 This was 10 years ago, nine years ago.
00:10:52.060 What year are we right now?
00:10:53.280 To 2026?
00:10:53.980 We're still in 2026.
00:10:55.380 It would be 15, 2015.
00:10:57.660 So 2015?
00:11:00.460 Yes.
00:11:00.920 So Obama's the president.
00:11:02.620 Black lawyers, I assume they were.
00:11:04.140 Yes.
00:11:04.540 You know, this was in D.C. or where was this?
00:11:06.180 It could have been Chicago or D.C.
00:11:08.140 All right.
00:11:09.100 So let's go there.
00:11:11.600 Yeah.
00:11:11.880 I've seen what you've done with PHP.
00:11:14.380 I mean, black, white, Latino, Asian, Filipino, Matzabal.
00:11:18.220 The whole deal.
00:11:18.900 Everybody dressed like a million bucks.
00:11:21.780 Imagine if you said, hey, guys, white people dress in suits. 0.71
00:11:25.020 Latino guys do that. 0.97
00:11:25.940 Black guys, don't worry. 0.99
00:11:27.840 Sag your pants. 0.99
00:11:29.180 It's okay.
00:11:29.580 Don't worry.
00:11:31.200 It's the soft bigotry of low expectations.
00:11:34.360 You have high standards.
00:11:35.560 You say, meet the standard or get the hell out.
00:11:37.760 And every single one of your guys, whether it's Chris Hart, whether it's Swazzo, whatever,
00:11:42.180 whoever we're talking about, all look, act, and play the part.
00:11:46.580 And they deserve it.
00:11:47.580 And everything that they've received, they've earned.
00:11:49.900 So there's no low expectations when it comes to us.
00:11:54.240 And that, unfortunately, is how Gavin Newsom sees black people.
00:11:56.900 For the last seven or eight days, we've been at the Magic Show in Las Vegas, and we're currently
00:12:02.520 at Italy at the Maikam show, the Milan show, the show that everybody shows up, Louis Vuitton,
00:12:09.100 Chanel, Hermes, everybody.
00:12:11.400 And you know who was there this year?
00:12:12.980 Future Looks Bright shoes.
00:12:14.300 There.
00:12:15.180 We sent Pete, Leo, and Michele.
00:12:18.660 Went over there having a great time.
00:12:20.620 Go ahead and give them an update on what's going on with these FLB shoes in Vegas at the
00:12:24.040 Magic Show, as well as Maikam.
00:12:25.260 Go ahead, Rob.
00:12:25.700 I just can't.
00:12:54.660 Okay, by the way, you know what I'm wearing today?
00:12:58.500 Clean.
00:12:58.980 Again, let me say this to you guys.
00:13:01.220 I'm wearing my brown ones, okay?
00:13:03.600 Future Looks Bright.
00:13:05.020 Vinny's wearing his black ones, okay?
00:13:07.500 From September 9th, when I tell you from September 9th till today, I've only worn these shoes
00:13:13.960 except for five days, that's all I wear.
00:13:16.600 Five days, okay?
00:13:18.080 And I love them.
00:13:19.340 They're so comfortable.
00:13:20.520 Every day, this is all I wear.
00:13:22.520 For some of you guys that are asking questions about shoes, we haven't done a CTA for a couple
00:13:27.300 weeks because it sells out every time we do them, okay?
00:13:30.960 So if you haven't picked one up for yourself yet, go to the site, take a look at the shoe.
00:13:36.800 Compared with all the other shoes, the Berlutis, the Ferragamos, the Zenias, the Gucci's, if
00:13:41.000 you want a shoe that has the same, you know, foam, the foam technology in the bottom, like
00:13:47.980 the Enclad or the Hoka's, and then the look of a Zenia with the leather, genuine leather
00:13:53.220 from Tuscany, Italy, and you want to combine the two together for a reasonable price, while
00:13:58.540 you can sit in a boardroom, put up your shoe on your knee, and it says Future Looks Bright
00:14:02.560 and get the deal done, if you're that kind of a person, go to vtmerge.com, place your
00:14:06.880 order.
