00:00:30.400 Yesterday, you know, you hear the story about the J6, Rob.

00:00:34.420 I don't know what page that's on. 0.57

00:00:35.620 It's like, look, these guys that were falsely arrested and they did time

00:00:41.860 and they're going through the nasty last few years that they had,

00:00:45.700 you know, the president comes out and says,

00:00:48.660 do you have that story, Rob, about the amount of money they're trying to help him out?

00:00:52.460 And, you know, Newsom got upset about it.

00:00:54.920 And he came out and he said he vows to tax 100% of tax on DOJ's anti-weaponization fund payout.

00:01:06.120 And it created a ton of conversations.

00:01:09.360 It was one of the main stories on X.

00:01:12.180 Gavin Newsom vowed Wednesday to tax any payouts that California residents received from the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund

00:01:20.440 that Trump secured in a settlement with his own Justice Department

00:01:23.440 as Democratic lawmakers and states across the country

00:01:26.420 ramp up efforts to counter the president on the measure.

00:01:30.580 Is this the one about anyone from California that received any of those funds?

00:01:34.600 We want to tax 100% of those proceeds.

00:01:37.600 Is that the clip here, Rob?

00:01:39.460 Is this the one about the slush fund?

00:01:41.360 I believe so.

00:01:42.280 I actually, hold on one second.

00:01:44.120 Because there's a clip that he's talking about,

00:01:46.100 and Newsom's pledge mirrors legislation unveiled earlier this week

00:01:48.840 in New York by Democrat Alex Bors, a state assembly member and House candidate that would

00:01:54.480 assess 100 percent tax against payout from the fund.

00:01:57.660 Trump announced at the fund last week as part of a $10 billion settlement with the DOJ in

00:02:01.460 his lawsuit against the IRS.

00:02:02.640 Democratic efforts to undercut any payouts are picking up across the country.

00:02:06.540 Democratic state lawmaker in New York are pushing for a vote by next week to fully tax

00:02:11.040 payouts from the fund.

00:02:12.840 Go for it, Rob.

00:02:13.420 This is the clip.

00:02:14.060 are you looking to take any action

00:02:18.740 is there anything you can do about that

00:02:20.240 well I've been thinking a lot I'm not in Congress

00:02:22.740 I was out there in Washington D.C.

00:02:24.720 trying to make a case anew

00:02:26.820 and some good meetings

00:02:28.880 with EPA Lee Zeldin

00:02:30.580 I want to get him fired

00:02:32.380 look at this he's talking with Lee Zeldin

00:02:34.340 but you know

00:02:36.540 there is teams working hard

00:02:39.060 to see what we can do

00:02:40.900 to help the victims of last year's fires

00:02:43.120 in los angeles yeah you know so i was up there around the time when legislative leaders were all

00:02:48.240 you know discussing what the options were and so i've been thinking a lot about it and i fly back

00:02:53.280 and one thing that i think we're going to try to do with your support is tax 100 anyone from

00:02:59.760 california that receives any of those funds we want to tax 100 of those proceeds and that's an

00:03:08.160 action the state of california can take it's an action we look forward to taking tom thoughts

00:03:12.560 Okay, so did some research here, and Pat made a comment on X.

00:03:18.820 I think it was absolutely correct.

00:03:20.740 And let me go to a quick legal analysis.

00:03:27.380 So 100% tax that singles out recipients of one specific federal fund

00:03:32.940 looks less like a tax and more like a confiscation or a penalty.

00:03:37.360 Under the Supremacy Clause, here we go,

00:03:41.580 If a federal court concludes that a tax at the state level exists or was implemented to obstruct, nullify, or frustrate a federal settlement program or other federal program, it will likely be struck down in the appellate courts as interfering with the federal function.

00:04:03.780 That's a supremacy clause.

00:04:05.860 And everybody can argue about it and get on a soapbox, and I just made my argument from my side.

00:04:09.880 But you know what?

00:04:11.580 Listen to what Gavin Newsom said. He's a very clever guy.

00:04:14.920 The first thing he said, I don't want to get Lee Zeldin fired.

00:04:17.680 So he's intimating that maybe Lee Zeldin was cooperating with him or doing something.

00:04:22.380 I don't want to get Lee Zeldin fired as if being nice or working with Newsom on something would get Lee fired.

00:04:28.080 That's just kind of what he was floating out there, which I think is just very clever.

00:04:31.620 But the other part, Pat, is it a true statement that this is an action that California can take?

00:04:36.960 Yes, it is.

00:04:37.600 Is it an equally true statement that that action can get shut down, shut down, and reversed by the appellate court very quickly?

00:04:44.820 That's also a true statement.

00:04:46.220 So I'm listening very carefully to how he uses his words.

00:04:50.260 So California can try, but many legal scholars, a legal analysis I found, would say, listen, you're pointing your tax at the recipients of the federal on a one-to-one basis.

00:05:01.780 You're retaliating.

00:05:02.820 You're trying to cancel federal programs, supremacy clause, federal over state.

00:05:06.620 Sorry, dude.

00:05:07.460 Right, Rob, pull up supremacy clause.

00:05:09.680 Pull up what is the supremacy clause?

00:05:12.660 What is the supremacy clause?

00:05:14.780 Okay.

00:05:15.720 So supremacy clause is a foundation, U.S. Constitution principle that the federal constitution, the federal laws are the supreme law of the land.

00:05:22.700 Located in the article, I want to say that's six, clause two of the Constitution,

00:05:26.200 it mandates that federal law takes precedence over any conflicting state or local laws, the hierarchy, U.S. Constitution, federal statutes,

00:05:33.060 and the international treaties sit at the top of the legal pyramid.

00:05:36.740 State constitution, state laws, and the local ordinance

00:05:39.020 must yield to the federal authority.

00:05:40.960 So when he's coming out and saying this, and by the way, my tweet,

00:05:44.420 if you want to go up to the tweet, Rob, on what I said to Nusom's camp right there,

00:05:47.820 I said, you ever heard of supremacy clause?

00:05:49.700 Gavin Newsom, it's as if you wish you were a king.

00:05:52.220 These guys really want to be a king where they can do things that democracies can.

00:05:57.960 If you want to go back to their response, because, 0.98

00:06:00.440 And then they responded back and said, California will tax J6 cop beaters.

00:06:05.320 Cry harder, Patrick.

00:06:06.820 That's Gavin Newsom's official office.

00:06:09.260 Then if you want to go back to my next tweet, Rob, and then I responded back and I said,

00:06:13.920 it says the biggest crybaby in politics.

00:06:16.760 You go down as the worst governor in the state of California ever heard, ever had. 0.96

00:06:21.080 You can't hide from your failed resumes.

00:06:22.900 If you want to go to the comment section there, they responded.

00:06:25.560 You know what they said?

00:06:26.400 Click on that.

00:06:27.180 They responded with, OK.

00:06:28.680 And I said, I'm glad you validated it.

00:06:31.240 So, you know, I'm glad they validated it.

00:06:33.860 That's all they came back with?

00:06:35.400 Go back.

00:06:36.180 That's all they came back with.

00:06:37.180 Okay.

00:06:37.340 Now, if you want to go back, Rob, to one more tweet, go back one more if you can to the top.

00:06:41.520 Keep going.

00:06:41.920 This is the one.

00:06:42.620 Because the guys kept responding.

00:06:43.700 One guy in the bottom said, doesn't California beat Republican elite states in vast majority of major metrics?

00:06:50.220 I said, yes, it does.

00:06:51.480 It beats them in homelessness, fraud, wasting $100 billion surplus.

00:06:56.080 I think the number was $95 billion to be exact.

00:06:58.280 Correct. Losing a trillion dollars of wealth twice in five years, negative net migration, illegal immigration, high gas price, highest gas prices, highest taxes, wildfires.

00:07:07.500 And I said, listen, I gave him a shout out. Gavin Newsom is crushing it.

00:07:10.200 So people need to realize this guy's fighting to be your president.

00:07:13.840 And by the way, you know what else he said? Rob, if you want to play the clip about wealth taxes, this is the one that nobody said was with Professor Galloway, where he's sitting down with him.

00:07:22.260 And he says, hey, this wealth tax idea may be so good. I may want to take it national.

00:07:27.720 Go ahead, Rob. I absolutely believe nationally we need to tax billionaires more. We need to

00:07:35.620 change the stepped-up basis. We need to address the issue of capital gains. We need to address

00:07:39.560 the issue of corporate taxes. We need to address, and you've talked a lot about this, the $84.4

00:07:44.820 trillion to up to, I've seen some estimates over $124 trillion of generational wealth over the

00:07:50.600 next decade and a half, two decades that will pass and address the issue of inheritance dynasty

00:07:56.740 trusts and going back to some tax brackets that are more, you know, analogous to the guy who used

00:08:04.340 to reside here at the governor's mansion back in the 80s or at least in the 60s as governor and

00:08:11.000 president in the 80s. And so we need to do all of those things. At the same time, at the state level,

00:08:17.800 I'm proud of this. I don't defend it from a defensive posture. I spent a good 15 minutes

00:08:23.420 at my state of the state earlier this year,

00:08:25.440 making the case for California's progressive tax structure.

00:08:29.340 We, yes, have the highest tax rate for the 1%,

00:08:34.280 but by definition, 99% of people don't pay that rate.

00:08:38.780 So people lazily refer to California as a high-tax state

00:08:41.800 when, in fact, states like Texas and Florida

00:08:44.880 tax their low-wage earners

00:08:46.880 more than we tax our high-wage earners.

00:08:48.920 Yet they're considered low-tax states,

00:08:51.640 which is rather perverse.

00:08:53.420 Slimy comparison. Alert, alert, alert. So he's trying to say, by the way, there is no income tax in Texas. So he's saying they tax their low wage earners more than we tax our high wage earner. He is making a discontinuous comparison. This is what he's doing, Vinny. He's looking at sales tax. He's looking at tax on license plates. He's looking at property taxes. And he's trying to say that in Texas, that will be more than 13 percent because you do pay taxes on things.

00:09:23.420 when you buy them. But he's saying they tax their low-wage earners more than we tax the 13% of our

00:09:29.240 high-wage earners. That is an absolute salacious comparison. It's absolutely fake and false. Word

00:09:35.540 talk, numbers scream, and those words talk, but those numbers scream false. That is absolutely

00:09:41.340 wrong. Capital gains he's talking about. Vinny, you have $175,000 because you did well. You pay

00:09:48.660 40 percent tax on that now you have a hundred thousand net has that hundred thousand been

00:09:53.240 taxed yes it has one yes and you worked hard for it and it was 175 now it's 100 you take the

00:09:58.660 hundred thousand you put it into a company you build it up and four years later you sell that

00:10:04.220 little company to dry cleaners that you had for one million dollars so you turn the 100 000 into

00:10:10.520 a million but the 100 000 you had already worked hard for that and been taxed that was in your

00:10:14.960 That should not be touched.

00:10:16.140 So guess what?

00:10:17.100 What?

00:10:17.420 The Republicans pushed up.

00:10:19.040 That's capital.

00:10:20.540 You gained on that capital by investing it in something good.

00:10:23.980 Yes.

00:10:24.220 So you should pay capital gains, which was only 20 percent until Obama got involved, put another 3 percent on top of it.

00:10:30.080 Good job, Obama.

00:10:30.600 So that's less than the 40 percent.

00:10:32.620 So when he talks about capital gains, he's talking about higher taxes on money that's already been taxed, that was put to work building a company, establishing jobs.

00:10:43.180 And the Republicans said, time out. There has been a growth in that. So the tax, but the capital gain tax should be less than the regular income tax of 40 percent. Come on, guys. Let's help the entrepreneurs do things. Let's help people. And by the way, the same thing applies to your house. You're doing your house over time and it's capital gains. You see that? And so this last little bit with Galloway, man, why isn't there a real time truth detector on a call out on this?

00:11:11.840 Yeah, I didn't watch the whole thing, so I don't want to hold Galloway accountable

00:11:15.520 because he may have asked the question.

00:11:16.680 I'm not talking about Scott.

00:11:17.560 Yeah, he knows what things to ask him.

00:11:20.500 But here's when probably the best analysis done on Newsom's ideas is by Scott Besson.

00:11:27.720 It's very technical, and he does it in two seconds.

00:11:31.340 So go ahead.

00:11:32.440 Anti-weaponization fund, your response to the governor's call from Persever. 1.00

00:11:36.700 There's no cure for stupid. 1.00

00:11:39.600 Okay. 1.00

00:11:40.040 You just gotta love him

00:11:42.980 So Adam, your thoughts on this

00:11:44.960 I gotta take classes from Scott

00:11:45.840 I agree with Tom and I agree with Scott Besant

00:11:49.740 What I've realized

00:11:51.560 And I had to learn this myself

00:11:53.060 And this is the state of Florida

00:11:54.440 Democrats love taxes

00:11:56.680 They love taxing people

00:12:00.000 Tom said that you have income tax

00:12:02.120 You have employment tax

00:12:04.420 You have property tax

00:12:05.400 You have gas tax

00:12:07.300 You have estate tax

00:12:08.880 We're already getting taxed so much,

00:12:11.300 and now they want to tax you more and tax you up the wazoo.

00:12:16.040 What's the famous shirt that AOC wore to the Met Ball?

00:12:20.160 Tax the rich.

00:12:21.440 This is their game plan, their entire game plan.

00:12:24.040 It was a white dress, I think.

00:12:25.220 Yeah, exactly.

00:12:25.900 This is their entire game plan.

00:12:27.120 They're not even hiding it, guys.

00:12:28.500 By the way, and I don't want to say this too much, 0.99

00:12:31.360 the 1% of the .01% already pay 50% of the taxes for the whole country. 0.92

00:12:36.860 They want more, Adam. 0.99

00:12:37.980 What I want to do, and I'm going to continue to do this,

00:12:40.540 I just want to thank you, Gavin Newsom.

00:12:42.480 I want to thank you, Zoran Mamdani, for bringing everybody to Florida.

00:12:47.480 Oh, God.

00:12:48.080 Here we go.

00:12:48.600 Everybody's coming here.

00:12:49.580 No, I don't want that.

00:12:50.940 Well, Vinny, you moved here, guy.

00:12:53.280 You don't really have to say.

00:12:53.680 I know.

00:12:53.900 You want to keep.

00:12:54.480 Let's bring more.

00:12:55.580 I've been here for four years.

00:12:55.800 I'm born and raised in Miami.

00:12:57.000 I can tell you to get out of here.

00:12:58.300 More.

00:12:58.500 Well, you don't have a car, so you don't have to deal with traffic.

00:13:00.440 Even better.

00:13:01.140 Stop inviting me here.

00:13:01.540 My point is, I appreciate all their policies.

00:13:04.020 Everyone thinks that as a negative.

00:13:05.680 I don't want to.

00:13:05.920 Zoran Mondani is the best poster child for moving to Miami.

00:13:10.360 And then just flip it, because who's the governor that would be the antithesis or the antonym, as Pat said, to Gavin Newsom?

00:13:18.320 Is our amazing governor in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis, who's now saying we have such a budget surplus in the state that they're talking about eliminating the property tax in Florida.

00:13:29.420 Because it goes to local or long-term residents, which would include the elderly.

00:13:32.720 Bingo. 0.60

00:13:32.980 So at the end of the day, they just want to tax you and tax you and tax you.

00:13:36.560 And one thing we know, you can't tax your way to prosperity.

00:13:39.280 Well, after hearing Gavin Newsom, Pat, that right there is why somebody like Peter Thiel gets on a plane and flies there and moves his entire family.

00:13:47.460 What do you mean?

00:13:48.740 This is the attitude of where the country is going.

00:13:50.820 By the way, Adam, he's talking, and he made a great point.

00:13:53.140 He's talking as he's going to be the president.

00:13:55.100 This is a national thing.

00:13:56.500 And the email has gone out to the Democratic Party.

00:13:58.860 It's this whole communist open border, illegals, taxing and all this.

00:14:02.560 And, Pat, mind you, this $1.776 billion fund is the anti-weaponization fund.

00:14:08.280 It's a settlement that Trump is basically saying, hey, we were suing the IRS and the Department of Justice for $10 billion.

00:14:14.060 He goes, I'm going to drop it.

00:14:16.140 I don't want anything for myself. 0.83

00:14:18.300 This is going to go towards people that are getting wrongfully accused and targeted by the freaking government and the IRS.

00:14:24.520 And I absolutely love it.

00:14:25.660 It's not just January 6th, Pat.

00:14:27.400 It's anybody.

00:14:28.540 Mind you, if you're in the Capitol beating up cops, go to jail.

00:14:31.280 This doesn't apply to you.

00:14:32.060 They even said it in this article that I read.

00:14:34.580 It's for people that are getting targeted, the victims of politicization and weaponization from the government.

00:14:40.400 Okay?

00:14:40.800 If any other place, Pat, people go after you the way that the government does, you get to sue them, defamation, all that type of stuff.

00:14:46.820 Why?

00:14:47.140 Why should it be different for the government?

00:14:49.000 I absolutely love that he's doing it. 0.98

00:14:50.780 And Gavin Newsom is the epitome of what's wrong with this freaking country. 0.97

00:14:53.300 You got to pay for all the fraud in California. 0.99

00:14:55.740 Yeah.

00:14:56.220 Have you ever covered how much the gas tax is in California versus other states?

00:14:59.460 71 cents.

00:15:00.460 71 cents.

00:15:00.980 You know about this, right?

00:15:01.720 Of course.

00:15:02.240 I did some research on this.

00:15:03.580 There's a federal, you know, because Pat.

00:15:04.780 Adam, I'd like to go to the next door.

00:15:05.880 Sure, go ahead.

00:15:06.260 I just want to go to the next door.

00:15:07.200 The gas tax are 71 cents.

00:15:09.220 There you go.

00:15:09.860 California has the highest night in gas.

00:15:11.940 It's crazy.

00:15:12.520 You're right.

00:15:13.400 There's a big game coming up around the corner.

00:15:16.320 I think nine of them are going to be in Dallas.

00:15:18.340 We were at a hotel yesterday.

00:15:20.160 Everything was about the world soccer tournament that's coming out there.

00:15:24.360 Everybody's going to be watching, you know, Neymar, Messi.

00:15:27.380 Yesterday they announced Messi's going into a sixth World Cup.

00:15:29.920 I don't know if you saw that.

00:15:31.100 It's going to be crazy.

00:15:31.780 It's going to be a big tournament that they're having.

00:15:34.380 And so while you're going through that, depending on the countries you're from,

00:15:38.000 we have some special gear that is limited.

00:15:41.500 There's not a big supply of them.

00:15:43.000 And we chose the countries based on who watches the content the most.

00:15:48.000 And it has the future looks bright with the country's flag.

00:15:51.320 So having said that, watch this video,

00:15:53.300 and then I'll tell you what future looks bright gear we have here for you.

00:15:55.880 Go ahead, Rob.

00:16:00.700 Go ahead.

00:16:01.700 Go ahead.

00:16:02.700 Go ahead.

00:16:03.700 Go ahead.

00:16:04.700 Go ahead.

00:16:05.700 Cheers.

00:16:06.700 Got to score the goal with a hammer. 1.00

00:16:12.700 Portugal. 0.94

00:16:13.700 Portugal.

00:16:14.700 Mexico. 0.77

00:16:17.700 By the way, that's Iran with the old flag. 1.00

00:16:23.700 Nice.

00:16:24.700 The Shahi flag of Mohammad Reza, Shahi Al-Abi.

00:16:28.700 France.

00:16:33.200 Oui, oui, Zidane.

00:16:42.700 And then we got a few other ones.

00:16:48.700 Who is this?

00:16:49.700 This is Colombia.

00:16:50.700 Colombia.

00:16:52.700 Rome.

00:16:54.700 Brazil.

00:16:55.700 Brazil.

00:16:57.700 And Argentina.

00:16:58.600 You know people are dancing at home right now in the car.

00:17:02.960 So remember, it's not a big supply.

00:17:05.080 If you're watching this, you want to get the shirt combination.

00:17:07.900 This is the U.S. hat that we have with the U.S. flag on the lid

00:17:13.180 with the soccer ball inside of it.

00:17:15.220 These things look absolutely insane.

00:17:17.100 And by the way, we didn't get a big supply of them.

00:17:19.980 Some of them, it's only 50.

00:17:21.500 Like the Iran one that we have with the Shahan Shahi flag on the bottom of it,

00:17:24.820 it's only 50.

00:17:26.420 So if some of you guys are going to the game and you kind of want to wear the hat

00:17:29.220 because they're saying you cannot wear the hat, Vinny, I don't know if I gave it to you or not.

00:17:32.720 No, I don't have that.

00:17:33.400 Do you have the Iran hat?

00:17:34.480 I think it's the one more green.

00:17:35.600 Is it this one here?

00:17:36.500 I don't know which one it is.

00:17:37.500 One of these guys that we have here. 0.98

00:17:39.020 It looks ridiculous. 0.98

00:17:41.100 There you go. 0.99

00:17:42.080 Look at this.

00:17:43.260 On the bottom of the lid right there.

00:17:44.480 I love the fact that you have it. 1.00

00:17:46.620 Iran's, it's only 50 of them. 1.00

00:17:48.240 So first come, first serve. 0.82

00:17:49.340 If somebody buys 50, it's literally going to say sold out.

00:17:52.340 And then you have all the other countries and U.S.

00:17:54.900 And then if you want to combine it with the shirts, Rob,

00:17:56.920 if you want to go a little bit lower, it'll go to click on the Argentina one,

00:18:01.060 view all, go all the way to the top, Rob.

00:18:04.860 Right there you have all of them together.

00:18:06.780 Shirts, hats, go a little bit lower.

00:18:09.000 So buy the hats with the shirts combined.

00:18:10.720 Future looks bright.

00:18:11.940 This is not going to last a long time.

00:18:14.280 Represent your country while you're representing the future looks bright.
