00:00:00.000 Bill Ackman says Curtis Sliwa must drop out of the New York City race
00:00:03.080 or Mamdani will be the next mayor.
00:00:06.340 Okay, so now, this is Bill Ackman, Rob.
00:00:08.040 If you got the clip, $10 billion, man, here's what he had to say.
00:00:11.660 If Curtis drops out, Andrew Cuomo can win.
00:00:13.740 If he doesn't, we are toast.
00:00:15.860 This is what it looks like right now from the poly market with Sliwa in.
00:00:19.340 Less than 1%, Cuomo 9%, Mamdani 89.7%.
00:00:24.200 So, in other words, Cuomo is 9xing Sliwa, okay?
00:00:29.820 9xing Sliwa. 0.55
00:00:31.320 It's where it's at.
00:00:32.460 And I don't know if he is.
00:00:33.840 What is that word you said?
00:00:34.560 9xing? 0.84
00:00:35.080 9xing.
00:00:36.060 Oh, 9xing.
00:00:37.100 9xing Sliwa. 0.55
00:00:38.740 Sorry about this.
00:00:39.180 Which means, like, he is nine times ahead of Sliwa.
00:00:42.220 Which clip is this, Rob?
00:00:43.320 This is Curtis responding to Bill Ackman's calls for him to drop out of the race.
00:00:47.900 However, I think it is clear to New Yorkers who are against Mamdani
00:00:51.860 that you and Cuomo are splitting the anti-Mamdani vote.
00:00:55.700 So, my question is simple.
00:00:56.640 Are you okay, if Mamdani wins, that you, so to speak, contributed to that?
00:01:02.060 Well, number one, Ackman is a jerk.
00:01:05.520 Oh, great.
00:01:06.000 Has he been right yet?
00:01:07.760 Here's a guy who goes up to Newport, Rhode Island, and thinks he's a professional tennis player.
00:01:12.000 Come on, Ackman.
00:01:13.920 Stay in your lane.
00:01:15.220 Does he know anything about politics?
00:01:17.020 No.
00:01:17.560 Does he live in New York City?
00:01:18.920 No.
00:01:19.580 He lives in Chaparco, the whitest suburb of America, where even the lawn jockeys are white. 0.95
00:01:24.360 He may know Wall Street.
00:01:25.680 He may know hedge funds.
00:01:27.140 He has been wrong every step of the way with the billionaires.
00:01:29.800 So, let's say people come to the conclusion, if somehow I lose, and we know Andrew Cuomo's lost.
00:01:36.400 He's already tossed in the town.
00:01:38.540 Oh, it's because of you, Curtis.
00:01:40.720 Because of, really?
00:01:42.620 It's because of the Democrats.
00:01:44.900 What are you saying?
00:01:45.740 Who created Zohan Mandami?
00:01:47.780 Who embraced him?
00:01:48.880 Who nourished him?
00:01:49.780 Who supported him?
00:01:50.680 And how dare you, people who know nothing about politics, suggest that everybody who's going to vote for me is suddenly going to be reborn.
00:02:00.900 We love Andrew Cuomo.
00:02:03.200 He killed all these elderly. 1.00
00:02:05.700 He's a sexual harasser.
00:02:07.280 He told conservatives and Republicans in 2014, if you're a conservative and you believe in right to life and the Second Amendment, you have no place in New York.
00:02:17.500 You need to leave.
00:02:18.680 This is the result of the Democrats' self-destruction.
00:02:23.160 So, I'm supposed to help them?
00:02:26.360 How come they don't help themselves?
00:02:28.860 Andrew Cuomo failed everybody in that primary.
00:02:32.080 He even admitted it.
00:02:33.380 Now he's basically saying, I can't win without Slewa votes.
00:02:36.940 Where are your votes?
00:02:38.800 Why don't you spend your money and think, he's got millions from the billionaires.
00:02:42.500 Millions.
00:02:43.700 Go out, get your own votes.
00:02:45.200 Convert Slewa voters. 0.95
00:02:46.420 But for me to drop out, I represent a major party line.
00:02:50.340 I have people running under me, council people, judges.
00:02:53.340 They put their heart and soul into it.
00:02:55.180 They support me.
00:02:56.000 I have more donations than Andrew Cuomo does.
00:02:59.720 Tom, what do you think about what he's saying?
00:03:01.160 Well, this is a pretty logical takedown of the situation.
00:03:09.540 And he's incensed that he would, you know, be asked to drop out and sacrifice himself for somebody he regards to be a mortal political enemy.
00:03:19.300 And so you see he's incensed.
00:03:21.460 But there's a point that he does make there at the end.
00:03:24.220 He said, look, there's a lot of judges and people that are behind me that are supporting me because we're trying to get conservative judges and conservative assemblymen and get something in there.
00:03:33.920 So I understand that.
00:03:35.560 But I also understand that, you know, beyond it being the mortal enemy, you know, the notion – and I don't like the way the question was phrased.
00:03:47.000 Do you think you're responsible for Mandami if you don't drop out?
00:03:51.120 Wait a minute.
00:03:52.280 Pat, he's asking me, saying, wait a minute.
00:03:54.620 Do you think it's your fault?
00:03:55.720 And so I think that's the wrong angle of the question because it's not going to be Curtis Sliwa's fault.
00:04:01.120 You know, it's the freaking voters voted for it.
00:04:04.020 And I look at Curtis there and he's like, wait a minute.
00:04:07.580 You can't make it my part because I won't drop out to help you, a mortal enemy that I've been campaigning against all my life.
00:04:16.040 Now, logically, does it make sense for what Bill Ackman says?
00:04:19.920 It does logically make sense.
00:04:21.540 But I don't think there's enough time left.
00:04:23.320 But they got – was it, Pat, barely three weeks to the election?
00:04:27.860 Barely three weeks?
00:04:29.520 And Tom, you're –
00:04:30.980 Logically, it makes sense.
00:04:32.640 If Sliwa will drop out and there could be a surge of understanding of the position of Andrew Cuomo and he can present the guy that I think he is underneath and do a better job of presenting that guy to the voters, I think you're going to close this up.
00:04:49.360 Correct.
00:04:49.680 But Sliwa was kind of giving you a history lesson.
00:04:53.400 This guy's my political enemy.
00:04:55.600 Tom, Tom always does this to me, Pat, so I'm going to do it back to him, Tom.
00:04:58.480 Words talk, numbers scream.
00:04:59.820 Let's do a little math.
00:05:00.580 Can you grab your pen for a second?
00:05:02.080 Even if, Tom, Zohan Mamdani is polymarket.
00:05:05.220 Robbie has it up right now.
00:05:06.700 93.2%.
00:05:08.220 This is odds.
00:05:09.120 This isn't percent.
00:05:09.840 Hold on.
00:05:10.160 Odds.
00:05:10.520 Odds.
00:05:10.880 Ready for this?
00:05:11.400 Let's just be real.
00:05:12.000 Now, if Andrew Cuomo's at 5.3, if Curtis drops out and he gets that .7, that's going to put him where, Tom?
00:05:19.220 No, these are odds.
00:05:20.160 These are odds of victory, not percent.
00:05:22.180 But he's asking you.
00:05:23.120 What he's asking you is if it's a very fair question, but this is confusing to the average voter.
00:05:29.380 But, Tom, if Sliwa drops out, where does Cuomo's odds go to from 5.3%?
00:05:35.640 In less than a month.
00:05:36.700 Out.
00:05:37.160 Two weeks.
00:05:37.760 Two weeks.
00:05:38.240 I'm sorry, Tommy.
00:05:39.960 What is it take to?
00:05:41.460 I think his odds go up, but right now this is showing that barring some crazy thing, there's a 93% chance with three weeks to go,
00:05:52.180 that the 53%, 57% that Mondame has is going to get him there.
00:05:59.760 I think Cuomo would end up here like 40, 42, maybe, of vote.
00:06:05.180 Yes.
00:06:05.680 And I think it's going to be like 42, 56.
00:06:09.120 Yes.
00:06:09.600 That's a big, Tom, that's, what I'm saying is the same day.
00:06:14.660 But I don't think, I think, I think there's time.
00:06:17.280 There's only three weeks left, but there's time.
00:06:18.860 But does it seem like Sliwa, with that interview, with that attitude, he ain't, he's not doing anything that anybody else wants to do.
00:06:26.680 And he's right, Tom.
00:06:27.820 It's yours to win the game plan.
00:06:30.500 You can't wait till fourth quarter, two minutes left to be like, okay, now we're going to do what we know that we should have done from the beginning.
00:06:37.700 Come on.
00:06:38.340 It's a little late.
00:06:39.720 It's a little late.
00:06:40.360 Yeah, and he's being asked the question, do you think you're responsible for his victory?
00:06:44.500 Wait a minute.
00:06:44.960 I ran as a Republican.
00:06:46.100 I ran in the primary.
00:06:47.060 I won the primary.
00:06:47.740 By the way, by the way, nothing about what Curtis said is wrong.
00:06:53.060 You're right.
00:06:53.620 Nothing about what he said is wrong.
00:06:56.000 But here's also the thing.
00:06:57.700 He doesn't stand a chance.
00:07:00.100 Nothing about what he said is wrong, but also he doesn't stand a chance.
00:07:04.740 And going after Bill Ackman's tennis game, I don't care what Bill Ackman's tennis game is.
00:07:08.980 And he says he's not a, you know, he doesn't have the, you know, when has he been right?
00:07:13.840 He's pretty right about Trump.
00:07:15.180 Oh, yeah.
00:07:15.900 Okay.
00:07:16.160 And he was willing, Curtis, for him to step aside and go and defend Trump, even though he was a liberal donor for many, many years.
00:07:24.440 So guess what?
00:07:25.420 He ended up being right on going on Trump's side.
00:07:27.960 He was right about the Ivy League colleges who wouldn't protect the Jewish students. 0.98
00:07:31.400 But I'm going to tell you this.
00:07:32.280 I'm going to tell you this.
00:07:33.360 The conversation would be a level-headed person needs to have a call with Sliwa that Sliwa respects to say, 0.94
00:07:40.800 what job do you think you would be able to have positive, direct impact with if you got that job?
00:07:48.020 What would be the job that you feel like you could have positive impact with?
00:07:51.740 What would that be?
00:07:53.000 Okay.
00:07:53.880 If Cuomo wins, you get this job.
00:07:56.300 What would that job be?
00:07:57.120 A level-headed person needs to have that conversation.
00:07:59.400 And by the way, don't forget, there's one more debate coming up.
00:08:01.480 I'm going to be watching that debate.
00:08:02.700 It's on Wednesday.
00:08:03.240 I agree 100%.
00:08:04.020 I'm going to be watching that debate.
00:08:05.100 I'm going to be watching that debate myself, and I'm hoping that Andrew Cuomo comes out and connects with people.
00:08:11.340 I mean, this is a guy, you know, the toughest part about being Andrew Cuomo is the following.
00:08:16.020 You know what's the toughest part?
00:08:17.400 Everybody knows it's dirt.
00:08:19.180 It's so public.
00:08:20.920 It's like, look, you already know what happened with the old folks' homes during COVID. 1.00
00:08:26.580 You know the sexual things that's out there.
00:08:29.520 You know everything and anything that they want to talk about.
00:08:32.220 There's so many shots that they can take at him.
00:08:35.320 He has to dig deep.
00:08:36.840 This is the last one.
00:08:38.400 There's a lot of pressure on him because I bet the one person he's talking to a lot when he's private by himself,
00:08:43.420 you know who I believe he's talking to a lot right now when he's by himself?
00:08:45.900 To his father.
00:08:46.660 Nope.
00:08:47.120 To his father, who is no longer with us.
00:08:49.140 He's talking to Mario.
00:08:50.140 He's saying, Dad, what do you want me to do?
00:08:51.880 What do I do?
00:08:53.100 I bet he's talking to his dad.
00:08:54.960 Probably.
00:08:55.540 He's doing this for his dad.
00:08:56.800 Why did he become a governor?
00:08:57.940 Because he wanted to be his dad.
00:08:58.880 What's the ultimate compliment to a father when your son wants to be like you?
00:09:02.100 Yep.
00:09:02.320 Whether you like the guy or not, it's a different story.
00:09:05.960 Here's what you do know.
00:09:07.520 What you get with Cuomo.
00:09:09.280 Cuomo wanted those Amazon 25,000 jobs at $150,000 coming to New York City.
00:09:14.160 De Blasio and AOC didn't want it.
00:09:15.780 Yep.
00:09:15.920 They left.
00:09:17.580 Cuomo wants the economy in New York to be better.
00:09:20.320 Cuomo wants to help those sides.
00:09:21.900 Yes, we probably are not on the same tab politically on a lot of different things.
00:09:25.640 You know what we do know about Mamdani?
00:09:27.540 Here's what we do know with Mamdani.
00:09:29.020 Who did Mamdani just take a picture with, Rob?
00:09:30.600 Oh, my God.
00:09:30.700 Can you show this, please?
00:09:31.960 Who did Mamdani just take a picture with?
00:09:33.580 Iman Siraj Wahaj.
00:09:35.340 Vinny, can you tell us who that is?
00:09:36.520 So the guy that he's smiling with, guys, is the same guy the FBI named as an unindicted
00:09:40.880 co-conspirator.
00:09:41.160 Rob, can you zoom in a little bit more, Rob?
00:09:42.680 Yeah, on the right guy.
00:09:43.380 The guy on the right.
00:09:44.080 Yeah.
00:09:44.680 1993 World Trade bombing.
00:09:46.380 Six people were killed.
00:09:47.400 In the white cultural garb. 0.56
00:09:48.520 Yeah.
00:09:49.140 Over 1,000 injured, and this is who he's posing with.
00:09:52.420 Last week, he was talking shit, sorry for my language, about Cuomo and never going to mosque.
00:09:58.020 That's you, homie.
00:09:59.420 You're there with a freaking guy that was a co-conspirator that killed
00:10:03.240 six freaking American New Yorkers and 1,000 other injured, okay?
00:10:08.160 And it's not taking out of context, all right?
00:10:09.700 He has a long history of extremist rhetoric.
00:10:12.920 He actually called homosexuality a disease, and he preached about punishment under Islamic
00:10:18.260 law, okay?
00:10:20.080 That's unbelievable.
00:10:22.000 Unbelievable.
00:10:22.720 Every New Yorker out there, I want that to sink in.
00:10:25.720 If you're a real New Yorker, and you're out there, and you're like, okay, and you nailed 0.97
00:10:28.740 it, Pat.
00:10:29.020 Yeah, Cuomo effed up with the nursing homes and all that other stuff.
00:10:34.120 Okay, we get that.
00:10:35.700 You don't even know what you guys are getting into right now.
00:10:38.440 This is, that right there sums up his entire freaking campaign.
00:10:42.260 He knows who that guy is.
00:10:43.560 He's not stupid.
00:10:44.300 That wasn't an accident.
00:10:45.600 He's letting everybody know, I'm cool with all these guys.
00:10:48.440 So good for you.
00:10:49.360 Good for you.
00:10:49.780 And I'm happy that that came out.
00:10:50.920 So here's where I'm going.
00:10:51.900 You know what we don't know about Mamdani?
00:10:54.560 This type of shit.
00:10:55.340 A lot of things.
00:10:56.000 Yes.
00:10:56.780 And guess what's going to happen to New York City?
00:11:00.800 Who do you think loves New York City more?
00:11:04.540 Cuomo.
00:11:05.060 Cuomo or Mamdani?
00:11:06.320 Cuomo, he's not even from here, Pat.
00:11:08.720 Like, what are you talking about?
00:11:09.880 So who do you think has a richer history that would be willing to do almost anything for
00:11:15.320 that city?
00:11:15.980 Him or Cuomo?
00:11:16.800 Cuomo.
00:11:17.380 The betting odds are on Cuomo.
00:11:19.180 Yes.
00:11:19.560 But I tell you, Cuomo's got to show up on Wednesday.
00:11:22.740 He's got to show up on Wednesday.
00:11:23.920 In a way, you've got to talk to this, not this.
00:11:28.980 Here's where we've got to go.
00:11:30.520 We go here and then, you know, a couple other things that need to happen as well between
00:11:36.040 now and then.
00:11:36.600 But that's a different, I don't want to announce it publicly.
00:11:38.400 But we'll see what's going to happen.
00:11:39.560 Adam, your thoughts?
00:11:40.000 Well, you know, you asked the question about who loves New York City more, Zoran Mondani or
00:11:43.300 Andrew Cuomo.
00:11:44.060 I would say the answer is Curtis Sliwa.
00:11:46.580 I would say he actually loves New York City more.
00:11:48.880 So if I'm Curtis Sliwa, I'm putting myself in his shoes, this whole situation right here about
00:11:52.200 him dropping out of the race, you mean to tell me, I start this race, I'm a nobody, I've
00:11:56.820 never finished anywhere near the top of a mayoral race, all of a sudden, this guardian
00:12:01.940 angel turned this do-gooder in the city, you want me to drop out of the race now after 1.00
00:12:06.920 everything I've done?
00:12:08.440 Really?
00:12:09.860 Yes.
00:12:11.220 You should.
00:12:12.400 Because he's the type of person that actually probably cares more about the city than your
00:12:16.240 own personal ambitions.
00:12:17.080 So, you know, you see someone like John Fetterman these days saying, yeah, I'm a Democrat, but
00:12:21.760 I care more about my country than I do my party.
00:12:24.920 I think Curtis Sliwa should get the message where he should care more about his city than
00:12:29.040 he should have his personal ambitions.
00:12:30.920 I believe that Zoran Mondani has this billion-dollar smile, and it is very effective and is very
00:12:38.880 contagious.
00:12:39.820 The problem is with this billion-dollar smile, it's going to cost you probably $10 billion of
00:12:43.980 all the people that are moving out of New York City.
00:12:45.340 New York City is going to suffer.
00:12:47.900 And the whole concept that this guy, this communist, Islamist, Mondani, that this is 0.72
00:12:53.440 just sort of like some bug, I can't believe that they're voting for this.
00:12:57.400 This is what New York City wants.
00:12:59.360 This is the feature.
00:13:00.440 This is why they're voting for him.
00:13:02.040 So in my opinion, New York City is in a whole bunch of mess right now.
00:13:06.500 And unless Andrew Cuomo can somehow resonate with the hearts and minds of the young people
00:13:11.560 in New York City, Zoran Mondani will be your mayor.
00:13:13.900 Yeah.
00:13:14.780 I love your point, and I'll give you this last shot because I think it goes right with
00:13:18.300 the story and we can transition on.
00:13:20.680 Who said, I will revive the economy, I will rebuild the armed forces, and I will provide
00:13:25.840 strong leadership if you'll just make me your prime minister, if you'll just do that for
00:13:31.040 me?
00:13:31.160 And he said it to the Italian people in 1922.
00:13:34.080 Mussolini.
00:13:34.860 Correct.
00:13:35.400 They knew nothing about him.
00:13:36.800 He had run this fascist newspaper and he was hidden.
00:13:39.440 And when it came into plain sight and he started, he hired a secret police started killing people
00:13:44.460 behind it.
00:13:45.300 They didn't know then.
00:13:46.460 And so, you know what?
00:13:47.420 History has got times.
00:13:48.760 And I'm not saying Mondavi's going to start killing people.
00:13:50.880 That's not what I'm saying.
00:13:51.720 I'm saying when you don't know enough about who you're voting for, you're putting yourself
00:13:56.240 in bad hands.
00:13:57.600 You know what I think, PBD, you bring up a good point.
00:13:58.940 You know what I think you would do?
00:14:00.060 And I think this is something that a lot of people, if you can remove your ego, he called
00:14:04.540 out Bill Ackman, Curtis Sliwa.
00:14:06.600 I know that Andrew Cuomo has been sort of reconsidering what he should be doing.
00:14:11.100 There should be a sit down with the people who actually love New York City, whether it's
00:14:15.180 Cuomo, whether it's Sliwa, whether it's Ackman, whoever it is, bring in a Ruli Giuliani, whatever
00:14:19.400 it is, and have a conversation of, guys, how can we actually make New York City great again?
00:14:24.960 Because it's about to go the way of London.
00:14:26.800 And let me know how that's working out for the UK.
00:14:28.460 Yeah, it's crazy you're saying that, because you know what movie I just watched over the
00:14:32.800 weekend?
00:14:33.160 I watched Truth and Treason, which is an Angel Studio movie.
00:14:37.600 I didn't know it was Angel.
00:14:38.840 And I went and watched it yesterday.
00:14:40.960 Oh, my God.
00:14:42.080 Really?
00:14:43.080 What?
00:14:43.860 The story of Helmut Hübner.
00:14:47.080 Let me tell you, Vinny.
00:14:48.420 It's worth watching.
00:14:49.720 No, I can't even describe to you what happened at the end of the movie.
00:14:52.560 I was shaken by it.
00:14:53.560 Oh, okay.
00:14:54.080 Then I'm on the watch today.
00:14:54.940 Me and Tico are sitting there watching this with my dad.
00:14:57.300 My dad had to walk up like 75 steps because the theater we went into, I felt like I was
00:15:02.220 back in Santa Monica doing 177 steps.
00:15:04.080 Oh, really?
00:15:04.460 It was so high.
00:15:05.000 My dad's like, what are you doing to me?
00:15:06.000 And I got a letter G.
00:15:07.480 We had to get this lady to get up because she was an E. 1.00
00:15:09.640 I'm like, I would replace it with your E, but she went to E. 0.89
00:15:11.700 Anyways, we watch this movie.
00:15:13.780 Movie ends.
00:15:15.540 We can't get up.
00:15:16.400 This guy at 17 years old called out Hitler, and he was the youngest guy who stood up against
00:15:24.920 Hitler, and in court, in front of the judge, he calls out the judge because he was the
00:15:30.980 guy that was handing out the pamphlets, these red pamphlets, these red pamphlets.
00:15:34.820 Like propaganda stuff?
00:15:35.320 Yeah.
00:15:35.420 No, for telling him, because he got access to a radio, and you couldn't hear what was
00:15:41.300 going on outside of Germany because that controlled the radio, so the people couldn't find out
00:15:45.120 what's going on, similar to what's going on in China, Cuba, a couple other places.
00:15:49.020 And he starts writing out these pamphlets.
00:15:51.540 They cannot believe it's a 16-year-old kid doing this.
00:15:54.920 He was creating the change in Hamburg.
00:15:57.460 Wow.
00:15:57.880 And they're like, there's no way in the world you're doing this.
00:15:59.880 This guy was a Mormon.
00:16:02.080 That's the craziest part.
00:16:03.400 What?
00:16:04.040 Yes.
00:16:05.280 He was a Mormon.
00:16:06.460 Latter-day Saints.
00:16:07.620 It's a weird story connection, by the way.
00:16:10.540 And then you know what happens when he's in front of the judge?
00:16:12.380 He stands up.
00:16:13.500 He says, do you have anything?
00:16:15.600 His lawyer says, read this letter.
00:16:17.540 Apologize.
00:16:18.060 You'll get one year in jail.
00:16:19.520 He gets up.
00:16:20.840 He says, no.
00:16:21.820 You're the problem.
00:16:22.460 Germany's going to lose.
00:16:23.420 You know you're going to lose.
00:16:24.500 You're going to lose.
00:16:25.600 He said, the judge...
00:16:26.340 There's this awesome scene.
00:16:28.480 By the way, every actor crushed it, and I knew none of the actors.
00:16:31.660 I'm telling you, every actor crushed it.
00:16:34.160 I knew none of the actors.
00:16:35.940 I knew none of the actors.
00:16:37.980 He was the youngest kid to be killed at 17 years old.
00:16:42.980 You know how they killed him?
00:16:44.040 Rob, can you pull up how they killed him?
00:16:45.600 Go to his...
00:16:46.860 How did they kill him?
00:16:48.380 He was executed by beheading.
00:16:50.420 That's exactly how he was executed.
00:16:52.760 At the age of 17, by the Nazi regime. 0.51
00:16:56.300 And he was a Mormon.
00:16:57.680 He wasn't a Jew. 0.92
00:16:58.740 He was a Mormon.
00:16:59.700 Because one of his friends that he played with was a Jew.
00:17:02.660 And they heard...
00:17:03.680 The moral of the story is, right now, America's going through some funny stuff.
00:17:09.980 You know, social.
00:17:10.620 People are confused a little bit.
00:17:11.720 Especially younger kids that are on social media.
00:17:13.560 You don't really know what's going on.
00:17:14.720 You don't know the history.
00:17:15.380 By the way, take your kids and go watch this movie with your kids. 0.99
00:17:19.100 I'm so glad.
00:17:19.760 But I will go back to watch it again with some...
00:17:22.480 If you want to go back, I'm going to go with you on Tico.
00:17:24.580 You know what score Tico gave it?
00:17:26.140 He said, Dad, this is a perfect movie.
00:17:27.700 I can't give it a less than a 10.
00:17:28.680 Get out of here.
00:17:28.920 He doesn't give 10s.
00:17:30.500 Okay, I'm done.
00:17:31.380 He doesn't give it a new movie to watch it now?
00:17:32.680 I'm telling you, this just came out a couple days ago.
00:17:35.060 I'll wait to watch it.
00:17:35.740 It could have come out this weekend.
00:17:36.700 What a freaking ridiculous movie.
00:17:39.460 Oh my God, Vinny.
00:17:40.860 I'll watch it with you.
00:17:41.440 I promise.
00:17:41.720 I'm out on a great day.
00:17:42.800 It's over 17.
00:17:43.740 It's the best movie I've seen all year.
00:17:44.980 Hey, PBD, I'm not saying this movie, but we've done multiple movies as a company.
00:17:50.580 We've done Air.
00:17:51.320 This isn't a movie as a company thing.
00:17:52.120 I'm not saying this company, but this movie.
00:17:55.060 All I'm saying is, yeah, we'll do that.
00:17:58.400 That's a different story.
00:17:59.660 But the whole thing with New York is, so many people in New York City don't know.
00:18:04.400 Look at the score.
00:18:05.340 By people and by professionals.
00:18:07.300 Okay, I'm going to go watch it with you.
00:18:08.540 It seriously is a ridiculous movie.
00:18:12.540 Mandate?
00:18:13.160 Mandate?
00:18:13.640 Okay, cool.
00:18:14.280 We'll see what's going to happen in New York City.
00:18:16.140 I'm definitely going to be watching a podcast, watching a debate.
00:18:19.100 I hope it's not none of those shitty NBC debates where they're not going to let them talk.
00:18:23.180 Oh, they let them talk.
00:18:24.460 2026 is going to be a magical year.
00:18:26.420 And I'm convinced most people are going to screw it up.
00:18:29.620 Most people are not going to have the right plans in place.
00:18:31.960 Most people are going to wink it going into 2026.
00:18:34.500 And my biggest suggestion to you is whatever you're doing, do not wink going into 2026.
00:18:40.540 Whether you're an individual employee, you have a family, wife, and kids, and family, you've got big plans for your family, you want to do something special for them, you're an independent contractor, you're a business owner, you're a government employee, whatever it may be.
00:18:52.340 If there's ever been a year to fully be locked in for a great business plan, it's 25 going into 26.
00:18:58.560 26 is going to be a 250-year anniversary.
00:19:01.020 Trump turns 80.
00:19:01.920 World Cup's coming to the U.S.
00:19:03.360 Rates are going to probably lower three more times in 2026.
00:19:06.560 Stock market's going to open up with IPOs.
00:19:08.400 It's going to be a special year.
00:19:09.380 And a lot of people are going to have a lot of success in 2026.
00:19:12.540 I would like you to do the same as well.
00:19:14.120 However, on December 12th, every year, I do a one-day webinar for business planning.
00:19:20.960 We call it the Business Planning Workshop.
00:19:23.200 I want to show you a video of two people.
00:19:24.980 See if you recognize the two guys and see which one you are.
00:19:27.280 One guy's name is Ernie.
00:19:30.580 One guy's name is Larry.
00:19:32.100 They were both annoying.
00:19:33.460 I love both of them, but they were annoying in this setting.
00:19:36.280 But I want you to watch and see which one you are, and then I want to encourage you to get registered today for December 12th.
00:19:41.160 Go ahead and play the clip, Rob.
00:19:42.860 So today I'm looking at two business plans.
00:19:44.460 One is by Ernie, whose business plan is purely based on emotion.
00:19:48.320 The other one is Larry, whose business plan is purely based off of logic.
00:19:52.600 You tell me, if you were an investor, who you would invest in, Ernie or Larry?
00:19:57.520 Okay, guys, so thank you for being here.
00:19:59.060 Ernie, Larry, let's go ahead and get started.
00:20:01.240 Thank you, Patrick.
00:20:02.440 So I love the enthusiasm.
00:20:03.800 You're excited, but how are you actually going to do it?
00:20:05.520 Patrick, this thing is going to be massive.
00:20:07.240 I'm telling you, it's going to make billions and billions of dollars.
00:20:10.420 Don't worry about that right now.
00:20:11.460 I'm just telling you, we're going to dominate the marketplace.
00:20:13.420 Everybody's going to be talking about us.
00:20:14.540 I share this idea with multiple people in my family.
00:20:17.360 They all love it.
00:20:18.020 Even my grandmother's actually deaf in one year.
00:20:19.920 She still got it.
00:20:20.880 Get out of here.
00:20:21.280 Yes.
00:20:21.840 Okay, so that's good.
00:20:22.720 It's promising, but how are you going to present it to investors?
00:20:24.820 Pat, I'll worry about that later.
00:20:25.960 Just right now, it's about the vibe.
00:20:27.160 It's just going and getting it.
00:20:28.080 People feed off the energy.
00:20:29.220 You don't feel that?
00:20:30.140 Feel that.
00:20:30.680 Unbelievable.
00:20:30.920 Look at that.
00:20:31.200 People want that.
00:20:31.960 People invest in that.
00:20:32.780 Makes sense.
00:20:33.360 Yeah.
00:20:33.800 Totally makes sense.
00:20:34.880 Actually, Patrick, the market data suggests a 1.7 probability of scale, assuming favorable
00:20:39.520 inflation trends.
00:20:40.840 So, yes, that's where I'm at right now.
00:20:43.460 What's the vision?
00:20:44.300 Give me the vision long term.
00:20:45.860 Actually, Patrick, that's where I wear the glasses.
00:20:47.540 I really don't have good vision, but I ran 47 simulations, and none of them support anything
00:20:52.520 that you were talking about earlier about gut feelings and anything like that.
00:20:55.480 Is there any plans to disrupt an industry?
00:20:57.760 Does that excite you?
00:20:59.380 Do you have the right people around you on the team?
00:21:01.400 Patrick, people equal problems.
00:21:03.340 I trust a self-spread sheet more than I trust people.
00:21:06.020 Makes sense.
00:21:06.740 Listen, I wish you nothing but the best.
00:21:08.080 So, we're done?
00:21:08.780 We're fully done, yes.
00:21:09.680 Can I update my sheet?
00:21:10.640 I'm leaving early.
00:21:11.360 I can go home and play with my cats.
00:21:12.860 Thank you, Patrick.
00:21:13.860 Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:21:14.700 So, the truth is we just saw all emotion, Ernie, and we just saw all logic, Larry, right?
00:21:18.880 The reality of it is I've been doing business plans for the last 25 years, tens of thousands
00:21:23.720 of business plans with people.
00:21:25.280 The truth is you need both.
00:21:26.500 You need emotion for fire.
00:21:28.840 You need logic for clarity and plan.
00:21:31.180 This is why once a year I host an event called the Business Planning Workshop.
00:21:35.160 It's the only virtual event that we do that anybody from around the world can come and
00:21:39.540 log into this one here.
00:21:40.960 You get a 200-page manual based on 12 building blocks on how you can write a business plan
00:21:46.240 to make 2026 the beginning of the greatest years of your life.

00:22:06.060 Ernie was fantastic, but I kind of like Larry more.
00:22:08.440 Larry, to me, was a little nerdy, exciting guy to be around.
00:22:11.140 But go, Rob.
