00:00:00.000 The Dems are trying to find out who is the face of the party.
00:00:03.740 In Denver, Colorado, Rob, if you want to pull this up,
00:00:06.920 Bernie Sanders has an event with AOC.
00:00:10.540 And when you look at this event with AOC,
00:00:13.260 if you can pull this up and play the clip,
00:00:15.580 they say 34,000 people show up to this event.
00:00:18.620 So watch this clip.
00:00:20.160 They say 34,000 people showed up to this event.
00:00:24.460 And by the way, whatever the number is,
00:00:26.340 that's still a strong audience if you look at that, right?
00:00:28.360 That's a strong audience right there that they have
00:00:30.040 to show up to Bernie and AOC's event.
00:00:32.600 But here's a challenge with this.
00:00:34.460 According to Zero Hedge, Rob,
00:00:35.980 if you can go to Zero Hedge with what Mario Nafal posted,
00:00:40.020 I think it's in the exchange.
00:00:41.080 If you don't have it, I can send it to you.
00:00:42.360 I think you do have it.
00:00:43.660 But I'll text it to you as well.
00:00:45.280 In the exchange, I'm sorry, in Zero Hedge's, yeah, right there.
00:00:53.180 So massive rally, AOC, right?
00:00:54.580 It turns out it wasn't as grassroots as advertised.
00:00:56.640 Look at this number here.
00:00:58.400 Despite claims of 34,000, GPS data analysis reveals the real number
00:01:02.440 was closer to 20,000, still big but not record-breaking
00:01:05.160 because they measured all the cell phones.
00:01:07.460 More revealing, a whopping 84% of those devices
00:01:10.920 had shown up to nine other protests or more,
00:01:15.000 including Antifa, BLM events, pro-Hamas,
00:01:19.280 pro-Palestinian demonstrators, and Kamala Harris campaign stop.
00:01:22.620 Over 30% have attended by 20 or more data analysts
00:01:27.180 as the crowd was anything but organic.
00:01:29.540 The majority were tied to activist networks like Disruption Projects,
00:01:33.600 Indivisible, Democratic Socialist America, Rise and Resist,
00:01:37.400 and Troublemakers, all reportedly funded by ActBlue.
00:01:40.560 Weird.
00:01:40.840 And some receiving backing via USAID, optics over authenticity,
00:01:45.920 the playbook hasn't changed, just the target.
00:01:48.360 So you can see this and see the fact that there's a fight going on
00:01:51.940 and everyone's trying to be the face of the Democratic Party.
00:01:55.560 I don't know if they're going to allow Newsom to be it,
00:01:57.960 and I don't think if they're going to allow AOC or Bernie to be it.
00:02:00.420 I don't think they're going to allow either one of them.
00:02:02.240 I hope not.
00:02:03.360 The Democratic Party believes in arranged marriage.
00:02:07.000 They don't believe when you get to marry whoever you want to marry.
00:02:09.560 The Democrats believe in you marry who we tell you're going to marry. 0.83
00:02:13.040 They do this practice in some marriages in India.
00:02:15.600 They do this in some Middle Eastern countries.
00:02:17.840 The Democratic Establishment Party is fully an arranged marriage.
00:02:22.040 They'll let you know if AOC can be your wife. 1.00
00:02:24.760 They'll let you know if Newsom can be your husband.
00:02:26.800 Until then, they'll let you know whenever they're ready,
00:02:29.120 and it may not be those two guys.
00:02:30.440 So, yeah, I think Newsom's going to do his part.
00:02:32.380 There's a big fight right now to see who's going to be a part of this.
00:02:35.820 Tom, your thoughts when you see AOC and Bernie doing what they're doing
00:02:38.720 to try to kind of win the votes of Democrats right now.
00:02:41.500 Well, first of all, you're trying to find the face of the party,
00:02:45.500 and so you send out the small market share fringe far left.
00:02:49.800 That just doesn't seem to me like what you'd be sending out.
00:02:54.360 It's about to be baseball season.
00:02:56.700 You've got to send out the American apple pie, neutral, almost centrist. 0.96
00:03:01.900 And I think this is ridiculous.
00:03:03.780 And of the protesters, boy, we've got the executive platinum of protesters. 0.93
00:03:07.400 They've been everywhere.
00:03:08.060 They've been collecting up all those miles and everything.
00:03:09.860 This is the executive platinum protesters club.
00:03:12.020 Look at that.
00:03:13.300 And so you send them out.
00:03:14.580 So I think this is a real tin ear, and it shows you that somewhere inside the DNC,
00:03:19.660 they really believe their absolute progressive side, their fringe,
00:03:24.700 is something that will get traction.
00:03:26.800 And I really just – I believe they sent it out to just put anger on the street.
00:03:31.860 They sent it out to get angry.
00:03:33.520 And that's even one of the things that AOC was saying.
00:03:36.200 If you're really angry, you're with us.
00:03:37.720 Show us you're angry.
00:03:38.520 Show us you're angry.
00:03:39.140 And so it was a high emotion.
00:03:41.820 So they pack the ballot box with a bunch of fake protesters.
00:03:47.300 They tell everybody, get really angry, show the emotion,
00:03:50.740 because that's all the visual clips that they want.
00:03:53.420 But meanwhile, the party – I don't think the party really wants us,
00:03:57.740 but they sent it out.
00:03:59.060 So it was kind of confusing to me.
00:04:00.660 I think it was like an emotion.
00:04:02.160 They want the clips.
00:04:03.020 They want the visual, Pat.
00:04:04.000 And they want the emotion out there.
00:04:05.480 They want to show some anger, and people are upset.
00:04:07.560 So do you think the Democratic Party will allow AOC or Newsom to be the face of the party?
00:04:14.540 AOC, I do not think they will allow her, but they may end up with her 1.00
00:04:18.640 because female, articulate, attractive, Hispanic.
00:04:25.080 I mean there's a lot of boxes that she, quote, checks there. 0.99
00:04:29.120 And then what's really funny is Newsom is trying to be a capitalist.
00:04:33.940 He's out there being a capitalist.
00:04:35.600 I'm the product.
00:04:36.400 I want you to buy me, and I want market share.
00:04:39.000 That's capitalism.
00:04:40.340 He does not want the socialist arranged marriage, and he's actually staying far from it.
00:04:45.120 And by the way, this has been his M.O.
00:04:47.580 And I don't think – do I think they will ultimately select him as a face of the party?
00:04:52.000 Pat, I think they may end up in that default position.
00:04:55.540 But remember, he's refused to fly with the party for three years.
00:04:59.480 Who put himself out there and had a debate with DeSantis separately?
00:05:03.580 That wasn't the DNC.
00:05:05.200 That wasn't sanctioned by the DNC.
00:05:07.120 They were like, will you stay out of the way, please?
00:05:08.980 What the hell are you doing?
00:05:10.440 You know, we're trying to figure out what we're going to do with Biden, 0.90
00:05:13.260 and yet he was out there kind of inserting himself out there.
00:05:17.020 That wasn't DNC.
00:05:18.080 That was Gavin Newsom.
00:05:19.360 I think they may end up with him.
00:05:22.120 Yeah.
00:05:22.600 Well, if you think about it, well, Tom, there's one correction.
00:05:25.080 You said she's articulate.
00:05:26.320 She's definitely not articulate. 0.99
00:05:27.480 She's probably one of – I think her and Jasmine Crockett are up there for the actual dumbest. 1.00
00:05:32.220 And I actually want – the moment she sits in an actual debate, 0.98
00:05:35.360 there was one clip that I saw where this lady's asking her questions, 1.00
00:05:38.280 and she was completely lost.
00:05:40.280 Mind you, this is the same person that said that we're going to be –
00:05:43.400 Let me make sure.
00:05:44.560 She can deliver a line. 0.99
00:05:46.300 She's not a Rhodes Scholar.
00:05:47.780 Yeah, bingo.
00:05:48.760 And the fact that she's like –
00:05:50.160 Okay, so the perception is, wow, that was really wonderful.
00:05:52.760 Yeah, oh, yeah, 100%.
00:05:53.860 But she's – by the way, didn't she say that the world's going to end in a couple years?
00:05:58.500 So I don't even know why she would even want it to run.
00:06:00.420 She thinks it's going to end.
00:06:01.200 But Gavin Newsom, I'm telling you right now, he's a slick –
00:06:04.920 do you remember when Biden was in, guys?
00:06:06.540 And he was – Biden was on vacation.
00:06:08.720 Weird, because he was on vacation more than any other president, mentally and physically.
00:06:12.720 He's walking on the White House lawn, remember, no shirt, I mean, no tie.
00:06:15.740 He was walking out there.
00:06:17.000 He's injecting himself, and I'm telling you right now, when it gets down to crunch time
00:06:21.140 and they have nobody, not Bernie Sanders with his balloon haircut, and her, they're going to –
00:06:26.540 Tom, you nailed it.
00:06:27.400 He's going to be the default because people are going to be used to him.
00:06:30.700 He was on the White House lawn.
00:06:32.100 He was at the debates talking with DeSantis.
00:06:34.780 Oh, he has a podcast, and he's talking to everybody.
00:06:37.580 We kind of like him.
00:06:38.640 They're not going to go back and look at these Latinx clips.
00:06:41.020 They're going to be like, oh, you know what?
00:06:42.540 Gavin's going to fight.
00:06:43.760 Gavin's for us, and I think that he's going to be the default guy.
00:06:46.040 Unless somebody comes out of the woodwork, that's a surprise.
00:06:48.180 Adam.
00:06:48.400 So just real quick on AOC, because we're talking about AOC right now.
00:06:51.200 Rob, I sent you a little – some data.
00:06:53.840 She, whether we like it or not, is the most viable candidate that the Democrats have right now.
00:07:00.560 They did this poll on CNN, who – which Democratic leader best reflects the party's values.
00:07:06.080 She had a whopping 10% in first place. 0.98
00:07:10.420 Kamala had nine.
00:07:11.260 Bernie had eight.
00:07:11.940 Where's Newsom?
00:07:13.000 Bernie – Newsom wasn't on this list, ironically enough.
00:07:17.740 This is what date?
00:07:18.600 This is recently?
00:07:19.120 This was recently.
00:07:20.060 March 6th through 9th?
00:07:21.120 Yeah.
00:07:21.660 So we'll see where Gavin Newsom ends up.
00:07:23.960 But here's my prediction.
00:07:25.820 She's going to make a – number one, she's a representative. 0.77
00:07:28.200 She's not even a senator.
00:07:29.000 She's not a governor. 0.98
00:07:30.440 When's the last time a representative did anything, like became a president?
00:07:35.200 I don't know.
00:07:35.620 Bernie got mad when he was asked about it.
00:07:37.000 Find that out for me.
00:07:38.320 So we'll see where she goes.
00:07:39.420 We'll see where she – if she tries to take Chuck Schumer's Senate seat, because he's 1.00
00:07:43.340 getting a lot of heat right now after he went through the continuing resolution and passed
00:07:47.260 the budget.
00:07:48.260 But here's my prediction on AOC.
00:07:50.300 Barack Obama's only at 4%, same as Jasmine Crockett. 0.83
00:07:53.860 Wow.
00:07:54.340 Wow.
00:07:55.140 Barack.
00:07:56.020 It's over.
00:07:56.780 Fall from grace.
00:07:57.480 I love Durham, Miami Vice.
00:07:59.580 But we talked about marketing.
00:08:01.180 We talked about what Trump says.
00:08:03.680 Build the wall.
00:08:04.580 Drain the swamp.
00:08:05.240 Lock her up. 0.91
00:08:05.600 Da-da-da-da. 0.81
00:08:05.960 She had a very viral slogan that she wore.
00:08:09.240 She made a sweater for this.
00:08:10.840 Yeah.
00:08:11.340 Tax the rich.
00:08:11.980 Tax the rich.
00:08:12.740 Yeah.
00:08:13.380 And then eat the rich.
00:08:16.160 Billionaires shouldn't exist.
00:08:17.340 So let's see what happens when she runs a presidential campaign. 1.00
00:08:22.520 There it is.
00:08:23.200 Tax the rich.
00:08:23.960 She wore it on her dress.
00:08:24.820 How much was that dress?
00:08:25.980 Okay.
00:08:26.620 Let's see what happens when this chick needs to raise a billion dollars. 1.00
00:08:31.540 Yeah.
00:08:31.940 Let's see what she's going to do to get that money. 1.00
00:08:34.720 My guess is she's going to go to all the rich people, all the lobbyists.
00:08:40.360 Remember when Chris Cuomo said, look up there.
00:08:42.600 Look up there.
00:08:43.960 You know, the Democratic Party has a major problem.
00:08:47.860 You saw it.
00:08:48.360 Bernie Sanders was like, we got to take down the billionaires.
00:08:51.700 And then please welcome to the stage, billionaire governor, J.B.
00:08:56.020 Pritzker.
00:08:56.940 It's like, what just happened here?
00:08:58.460 I made a mistake.
00:08:59.360 I made a mistake.
00:08:59.860 He can pick on one because I am one.
00:09:01.560 But that's the issue is that when you're so against the wealthy, when you're so against
00:09:06.200 the rich, when you want to tax the rich, but then you need their money.
00:09:10.500 Yeah, weird.
00:09:11.360 Weird how that works.
00:09:11.680 You're going to have what's called cognitive dissonance and that's a problem.
00:09:15.120 Nice.
00:09:15.280 You make a very good point.
00:09:17.640 Thanks, Tom.
00:09:18.320 I'm not adding on here.
00:09:19.300 I'm just going to let it go.
00:09:20.280 But when you go, the first thing that happens to a congressman when they become a senator is
00:09:25.720 they change their view on campaign finance reform.
00:09:27.820 Bingo.
00:09:28.220 Because they need billionaire dollars now.
00:09:29.740 Can you cut that for Adam and put it at, pin it at the top?
00:09:33.700 Like, you make a great point.
00:09:35.040 That happens every show, Pat.
00:09:36.360 Flip it.
00:09:36.920 Like it or not.
00:09:37.540 Flip it.
00:09:38.240 I get a lot of menets.
00:09:39.140 A lot of questions about people telling me, Pat, you know, I'm at a point in my life where,
00:09:42.960 you know, I just can't find myself to get to the next level.
00:09:46.380 My life is good.
00:09:47.180 My wife is good. 0.88
00:09:47.980 My family is good.
00:09:48.780 My this is good.
00:09:49.420 But I'm just having a hard time getting out of bed.
00:09:52.040 I'm having a hard time being fired up.
00:09:53.260 I'm having a hard time identifying what I need to do next.
00:09:55.440 And I tell him, every single one of them, I said, get off this Manect, go order the book, 1.00
00:10:00.260 Choose Your Enemies Wisely, read it, Manect me back when you finish the book.
00:10:04.120 You'll see why.
00:10:05.000 The book was specifically written.
00:10:07.640 When I wrote this book, I wrote it because over the years I've done a lot of business plans
00:10:10.960 for a lot of different people.
00:10:12.520 And I noticed there's 12 blocks that you need.
00:10:15.520 Six of them are emotional blocks and six of them are logical blocks.
00:10:20.100 Most people do business plan, not only one or the other.
00:10:23.460 It's either only focus on emotions, dreams.
00:10:25.580 Why?
00:10:26.020 It's either only focus on logic.
00:10:28.220 This book breaks down all the 12.
00:10:29.840 If you've not yet read it, this is the National Reading Month.
00:10:33.800 Place the order, sign copy.
00:10:35.620 And if you order it now, I believe the first hundred are getting these Choose Your Enemy
00:10:40.100 Wisely custom mug that'll be sent to you as well.
