00:00:00.980 Trump demands full-throated apology from Maine governor on Transports Flab to settle funding dispute, even as universities back down.
00:00:10.860 I don't know if you remember this clip or not, right?
00:00:12.840 There was a clip where he's asking the Maine governor, and she says, this is not going to fare well for you.
00:00:18.760 Rob, I don't know if you remember this one here.
00:00:20.380 He was giving a speech to the back of the room.
00:00:21.340 That's right, and she was to his right.
00:00:23.360 He's like, you better get a new job because you're not going to get re-elected.
00:00:27.800 Something like that, right?
00:00:28.660 It was in a different room.
00:00:30.080 It could have been this one, Rob, where he looks to his right.
00:00:32.800 Is this the one?
00:00:33.740 And they talked about suing each other, and he says, this is about men and women's sports.
00:00:37.480 Is that what it was?
00:00:38.080 Yeah, let me see this.
00:00:39.120 The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way.
00:00:42.360 That's good.
00:00:42.980 But I understand Maine.
00:00:45.040 Is Maine here, the governor of Maine?
00:00:48.560 Are you not going to comply with it?
00:00:50.760 I'm complying with state and federal laws.
00:00:53.320 Well, we are the federal law.
00:00:55.460 Well, you better do it.
00:00:56.580 You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.
00:01:00.000 And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very
00:01:03.480 well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports. 1.00
00:01:08.320 So you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
00:01:13.300 I'll see you in court.
00:01:13.960 Every state, good, I'll see you in court.
00:01:15.840 I look forward to that.
00:01:16.720 That should be a real easy one.
00:01:17.900 She said to him, I'll see you in court.
00:01:22.920 Yeah, there you go.
00:01:23.980 So let me read this to you.
00:01:25.680 Let me read this to you.
00:01:27.900 So President Trump demands, is this it right here?
00:01:30.160 They go.
00:01:30.460 While the state of Maine has apologized for the governor's strong but totally incorrect
00:01:33.720 statement about men playing in women's sports while at the White House governor's conference,
00:01:37.420 we have not heard from the governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases.
00:01:42.200 Therefore, we need a full-throated apology from the governor herself and a statement that
00:01:45.540 she will never make such an awful challenge to the federal government ever again before
00:01:49.560 this case can be settled.
00:01:50.860 I'm sure she will be able to do that.
00:01:53.500 Rob, can you read the rest?
00:01:54.440 Because I can't see the rest.
00:01:57.120 Therefore, we need a full-throated apology from the governor herself and a statement that
00:02:00.580 she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the federal government again before this
00:02:05.360 case can be settled.
00:02:06.500 I'm sure she will be able to do that quite easily.
00:02:09.320 Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:02:11.400 and in all capitals, make America great again, three exclamation points, BJT.
00:02:15.600 That is unbelievable. Unbelievable.
00:02:17.720 So he says, University of Maine system network of eight public universities
00:02:21.060 caved this week to Trump's order after the administration blocked
00:02:23.640 the prominent agriculture funds and gave a 10-day ultimatum
00:02:26.800 from the Department of Education, risking $250 million yearly.
00:02:29.640 Trump insisted while the state of Maine has apologized, she has two apologies.
00:02:33.240 Okay, so who have thoughts on this one?
00:02:35.520 Tom, I think this is you. Go for it.
00:02:36.740 I have thoughts. Here's the thought I have.
00:02:38.740 There are eight public universities in Maine.
00:02:42.800 Vinny, it's time for fun with math.
00:02:44.720 Okay.
00:02:45.320 How many dollars are being sent to Maine?
00:02:50.140 $250 million.
00:02:51.440 Let's say Maine keeps $10 million just as an administration fee.
00:02:54.400 All right, so $240.
00:02:55.260 $240. What's $240 divided by eight?
00:02:58.400 Tom, what the hell are you doing right now?
00:03:00.460 Seriously?
00:03:01.080 $30. It's easy. It's $30.
00:03:02.920 So why is the United States federal government sending $30 million per university
00:03:10.200 to the University of Maine if those businesses, it's a business, can't sustain themselves?
00:03:17.520 I don't want the federal government.
00:03:19.700 First of all, this shows that what Trump is doing has teeth,
00:03:23.980 and he's getting states to move off dumb policies and off previous positions.
00:03:28.760 And just like he said there, yeah, you'll see it in court.
00:03:31.340 Oh, yeah, that'd be fine. That'd be an easy one.
00:03:33.260 And guess what? It didn't even go to court.
00:03:35.480 It just went to his pen.
00:03:37.820 Okay, $250 out like this.
00:03:40.100 But the greater question for me is like, okay, now the federal government gives the funding back.
00:03:45.380 I'm like, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:03:47.420 I thought we were shutting down Department of Education,
00:03:49.300 and I'd like to see Doge take a look at why do eight universities in Maine need an average of $30 million each to operate?
00:03:58.700 If you can operate, charge tuition and operate.
00:04:02.500 But if you need money from the federal government, are you kidding me?
00:04:06.360 You can't make it without that?
00:04:08.100 I think, Doge, get on it.
00:04:10.260 You think she will be apologizing?
00:04:12.080 Do I think she will eventually sign a letter of resolution?
00:04:17.000 Yes, I think she will.
00:04:18.060 Will it be everything that Trump wants?
00:04:21.600 No, because she just won't be able to do that.
00:04:23.640 She'll have like a seizure or something. 0.52
00:04:25.260 But she'll sign something.
00:04:26.980 And why do they all look like that?
00:04:28.200 Every time you hear somebody that hates Trump and they're Democratic,
00:04:32.080 and like, look, it's like a Hillary Clinton clone. 0.98
00:04:35.600 And like, she wanted to play tough, and now she's folded like a freaking lawn chair. 0.96
00:04:39.760 And I love it. He's right. 0.97
00:04:40.840 I don't care what she looks like. 0.98
00:04:42.120 I'm not going to pick on her looks.
00:04:43.140 I'm just listening to what comes out of her mouth.
00:04:44.720 I'm not picking on her looks. 0.99
00:04:45.420 She's even uglier than anything you could imagine. 1.00
00:04:47.460 No, but what I'm saying, I'm not picking on her looks. 0.92
00:04:48.780 What I'm saying is, though, why is it that they all have that look and that face
00:04:53.040 and that bitterness and that anger?
00:04:54.760 And it doesn't help.
00:04:56.220 Like, it doesn't help she back down.
00:04:57.840 You know what I mean?
00:04:58.540 That's it.
00:04:59.440 It's like your picture is outside of Pierce Morgan.
00:05:01.660 Yeah, exactly.
00:05:02.360 You're right.
00:05:02.760 Yeah, exactly.
00:05:03.340 You're right.
00:05:03.800 Thank you.
00:05:05.240 Matter of fact, can you go to that clip, Rob?
00:05:06.960 Rob, that clip was the best because, guys, basic tip about life.
00:05:12.920 Bitterness, misery, envy, all of those qualities.
00:05:16.920 You know what it does?
00:05:17.900 It ages you so flipping fast.
00:05:21.940 It's not even funny.
00:05:23.080 Start it from the beginning, Rob.
00:05:24.400 Let him.
00:05:24.780 Oh, is it two minutes? 1.00
00:05:25.500 Oh, shit. 1.00
00:05:26.080 It was too long, Rob. 0.99
00:05:26.680 I'll send them.
00:05:27.340 I'll send them.
00:05:27.480 We get it right.
00:05:28.080 I mean, he gets into it right around here. 1.00
00:05:30.060 When he calls him an idiot. 1.00
00:05:31.160 Go from there. 1.00
00:05:31.440 I know that guy, Vinny, right there.
00:05:32.560 He's angry.
00:05:33.220 Is that it?
00:05:33.540 Go ahead, Rob.
00:05:34.040 Of pre-Trump and post-Trump.
00:05:36.220 Look at this.
00:05:36.680 This is Rosie O'Donnell before Trump.
00:05:39.000 Right?
00:05:39.460 Nice.
00:05:39.900 Good.
00:05:40.280 Look what happens, Piers, with Trump derangement syndrome.
00:05:43.180 All right?
00:05:43.760 Rachel Maddow.
00:05:44.900 Look at how hot Rachel Maddow was. 1.00
00:05:46.720 And then, look, Trump derangement syndrome.
00:05:49.140 She looks like Stephen Colbert.
00:05:50.620 And then, look, Kathy Griffin, someone that I might have hooked up with if I was drunk,
00:05:54.480 they turned her into caretops. 1.00
00:05:56.440 Okay?
00:05:57.420 That's what it does to you people.
00:05:59.660 Okay? 1.00
00:05:59.940 You guys have lost your freaking minds. 0.99
00:06:01.640 Oh, excuse me. 0.99
00:06:02.180 I'm not finished.
00:06:03.000 I'm not finished.
00:06:03.520 And Piers, in that interview, she's like, I can't pause it right there.
00:06:06.460 Vinny, you killed that thing.
00:06:07.260 Well, the guy tried to talk smack, and I was like, bro, you will never say that in front
00:06:11.660 of my face.
00:06:12.060 So, what happened with you and Kathy Griffin?
00:06:14.160 Nothing.
00:06:14.500 I said if I was drunk back in the day, but she looks drunk.
00:06:17.040 But you don't drink anymore these days.
00:06:18.220 No, I don't drink, so she doesn't have a chance.
00:06:20.460 Tom, were you going to say something or no?
00:06:22.180 No.
00:06:22.660 First of all, I love what you did there.
00:06:24.820 Vinny, I love what you did there.
00:06:26.360 Because you're pointing something out.
00:06:27.500 Because there is something to be pointed out.
00:06:29.300 Is that the bitterness and everything, aged people. 1.00
00:06:33.300 You weren't, there were two of the, okay, you had the carrot top joke at the end.
00:06:36.040 Yeah.
00:06:36.320 But the others was legitimate.
00:06:38.120 This is aging people that present themselves as bitter and angry and upset. 0.98
00:06:42.960 That's true.
00:06:43.400 And it's real.
00:06:44.060 Yeah.
00:06:44.620 It is so true. 0.88
00:06:45.320 If you think about what they were actually arguing about, I know we're caught up on
00:06:48.720 her and her looks or whatever. 1.00
00:06:49.840 They were arguing about whether men should participate in women's sports.
00:06:54.800 And this is, you know, as we talk about an 80% issue versus a 20%.
00:06:59.120 Trump's just basically taking the 80% being like, there's two genders.
00:07:03.360 That's it.
00:07:03.760 This is what's going on here. 0.99
00:07:05.180 You, you keep your nuts out of the women's locker room. 1.00
00:07:07.640 And most of the country agrees.
00:07:10.100 But by the way, not to get too inside baseball here, callback, Maine is a very weird state.
00:07:16.840 So Maine is, is liberal, but it, it, it has Senate, like, do you know who the two senators
00:07:22.880 are in Maine?
00:07:24.100 Lisa Murkowski.
00:07:25.220 No, that's Alaska, Tom.
00:07:26.560 I'm disappointed that you don't know that.
00:07:28.280 It's Susan Collins.
00:07:29.740 Oh yeah.
00:07:30.420 Okay.
00:07:30.760 The other Murkowski.
00:07:31.800 It's okay.
00:07:32.200 Exactly.
00:07:33.000 Who's that Republican, but she's basically always against Trump.
00:07:37.160 And it has the only independent Senator, Angus King, who basically caucuses with the Democrats.
00:07:43.740 I mean, some call lead guitar in the ACDC gangster.
00:07:46.760 Did he really?
00:07:48.460 All right.
00:07:49.000 Maybe that was a Tom joke, but the point is Maine, um, 30% of their constituency, your favorite
00:07:56.280 word is Democrat.
00:07:57.820 Another 30 something percent is Republican with 30% is independent.
00:08:01.540 So this is going to come down to what the people of Maine want to see.
00:08:05.400 So something tells me that maybe just maybe as much as I agree with Trump on this, the
00:08:11.960 governor kind of knows her constituency better than Trump does. 0.94
00:08:16.200 So if he sees her in court, let's see what happens.
00:08:18.660 I don't think it's going to be in court.
00:08:19.680 I think families are just tired.
00:08:20.960 Explain to those, explain to those families why their school is losing a quarter of a billion
00:08:24.380 dollars because they're sticking up for a dude in a skirt, poll voting. 1.00
00:08:28.060 Okay.
00:08:28.340 Go for that.
00:08:28.720 Also Maine and Nebraska also do something during a presidential elections.
00:08:32.480 They, they split their districts.
00:08:33.700 It's not winner take all.
00:08:35.340 And those are things that I know for a fact, California and Illinois do not like that because
00:08:40.960 there's a big part of Southern Illinois and a big part of central California.
00:08:44.280 Those votes would go away to the other side.
00:08:46.220 Yeah.
00:08:46.480 I get a lot of my next, a lot of questions about people telling me, Pat, you know, I'm at
00:08:50.020 a point in my life where, you know, I just can't find myself to get to the next level.
00:08:54.700 My life is good.
00:08:55.520 My wife is good. 0.88
00:08:56.320 My family is good.
00:08:57.120 My, this is good, but I I'm just having a hard time getting out of bed.
00:09:00.340 I'm having a hard time being fired up.
00:09:01.600 I'm having a hard time identifying what I need to do next.
00:09:03.780 And I tell him every single one of them, I said, get off this man act, go order the
00:09:08.400 book, choose your enemies wisely, read it, man act me back.
00:09:11.740 When you finish the book, you'll see why the book was specifically written.
00:09:15.780 When I wrote this book, I wrote it because over the years I've done a lot of business plans
00:09:19.300 for a lot of different people.
00:09:20.860 And I noticed there's 12 blocks that you need.
00:09:23.300 Six of them are emotional blocks and six of them are logical blocks.
00:09:28.420 Most people do business plan, not only one or the other.
00:09:31.740 It's either only focus on emotions, dreams.
00:09:33.920 Why?
00:09:34.360 It's either only focus on logic.
00:09:36.340 This book breaks down all the 12.
00:09:38.160 If you've not yet read it, this is the national reading month.
00:09:42.120 Place the order, sign copy.
00:09:43.960 And if you order it now, I believe the first hundred are getting these choose your enemy
00:09:48.440 wisely custom mug that'll be sent to you as well.
00:09:52.500 On top of the free bookmarks of choose your enemies wisely that'll come your way as well.
