Valuetainment - “Trump KISSES Putin’s Ass!” - Scaramucci LOSES It Over Trump's Putin-Iran Phone Call

00:00:00.000 getting ready for a game means being ready for anything like packing a spare stick i like to

00:00:09.580 be prepared that's why i remember 988 canada's suicide crisis helpline it's good to know just

00:00:15.760 in case anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder

00:00:20.540 anytime 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in canada

00:00:25.500 Russia, Vladimir Putin, and U.S. counterpart Donald Trump

00:00:30.280 spoke, discussed Iran in their first phone call.

00:00:32.840 The talks, which lasted about an hour, were constructive and business-like

00:00:35.720 and will undoubtedly have practical significance

00:00:38.780 for the further work of the two countries

00:00:41.060 in various areas of international politics,

00:00:44.180 Tasnur's agency reported.

00:00:46.140 The leaders are also discussed.

00:00:47.500 The U.S.-led peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.

00:00:50.320 The peace talks have stalled after Trump ordered U.S. forces to attack Iran.

00:00:53.780 A planned fourth round of talks this year that was scheduled for last week was postponed

00:00:59.000 because of the war in Iran, and the sites haven't indicated when they will resume.

00:01:04.380 Putin and Trump also discussed Venezuela, according to Ushakob,

00:01:09.420 and I believe Putin told him that they're not leaking intel to Iranians.

00:01:15.400 I think that was one of the conversations that took place,

00:01:17.420 because a story came out saying that Russia, Putin, are sharing intel with Iran.

00:01:23.560 He says, I don't think we're doing anything like that.

00:01:25.700 So, Tom, what do you think about this call between Trump and Putin?

00:01:28.720 Well, I'm interested in what Anthony thinks because my question when I read about this is, okay, why put this out there?

00:01:35.040 Why tell people you had this call with Putin?

00:01:37.140 You have all kinds of calls all day long with world leaders, economic leaders, banking leaders.

00:01:42.860 There's all kinds of stuff that you or a cabinet member at the highest level with your authorization is having.

00:01:51.020 Why come out to the podium and say, I'm talking to Putin?

00:01:55.080 I had the first phone call this year.

00:01:57.140 It was constructive.

00:01:58.440 It's almost like you're reassuring.

00:02:00.020 And to me, it sounded like a point of reassurance for our allies and others.

00:02:07.080 You know what I'm saying?

00:02:07.540 I was getting to why say it.

00:02:09.240 Why do you need to say it?

00:02:10.300 Why do you need to talk about the call?

00:02:11.960 Why do you need to even put it out there?

00:02:14.040 Because you have a dozen calls like this every day, right?

00:02:16.720 First of all, I don't know who it is, but there's a mole inside the White House, if you want to call it that, a source inside the White House that's dumping nonstop stuff to the Wall Street Journal.

00:02:26.700 And that started with the 50-year-old birthday greeting, the Shapely thing, and the signature that Trump sent to Epstein, and then Trump said that he didn't send it to Epstein.

00:02:39.040 He sued Murdoch for $10 billion, but then the suit didn't go anywhere because he really did send it to Epstein.

00:02:43.400 And so the reason you tell people about the call is that there's moles inside the White House that are going to tell people about the call one way or another because the report came from somebody inside the White House that got signals intelligence picked up that the Russians were sending detailed satellite imagery to the Iranians.

00:03:06.940 And so that got dumped into our press from inside.

00:03:10.400 Okay, so Trump has to talk.

00:03:12.320 He loves Putin.

00:03:14.640 Okay, he's done nothing to really help the Ukrainians since he got the job again, job 1.00

00:03:19.020 to Trump too.

00:03:20.380 He loves Putin.

00:03:22.420 Why does he love Putin?

00:03:24.240 I submit to you, Putin has something on him because it's like if the windows open, Tom,

00:03:29.800 and you hear clippity-clop, it's a horse.

00:03:32.480 It's not a zebra.

00:03:33.780 This is one of the very richest guys in the world running the most powerful military,

00:03:38.100 arguably the best economy in the history of the world.

00:03:41.100 and you got a failed state that's an oil and gas country with a few nuclear bombs

00:03:47.180 that has a GDP smaller than Canada and Italy.

00:03:52.560 Okay, and what are you doing?

00:03:53.620 You could knock him into center field and end the Ukrainian war tomorrow, 0.81

00:03:58.460 and there's a lot of people pissed inside that government that are leaking on Trump,

00:04:04.440 and so that's why.

00:04:05.640 This is what Trump said about Putin.

00:04:07.720 Brent, I'm going to come to you right after this.

00:04:09.040 Go for it. 0.58

00:04:09.340 Pass me the vomit bag.

00:04:10.320 Do you approve of Iran's new supreme leader?

00:04:13.920 And secondly, can you tell us more about your call with Russian President Vladimir Putin today?

00:04:18.940 What did you discuss?

00:04:19.980 Yes, I had a very good call with President Putin.

00:04:23.920 We had a lot of people on the line from our side, from his side.

00:04:27.080 We were talking about Ukraine, which is just a never-ending fight. 0.97

00:04:32.520 And when, look, there's tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky.

00:04:38.500 they can't seem to get it together but i think it was a positive call on that subject and we

00:04:44.260 obviously talked then about the middle east and he wants to be helpful i said you could be more

00:04:52.260 helpful by getting the ukraine-russia war over with that would be more helpful but we had a very good

00:04:57.860 talk and he wants to be very constructive yeah please yeah please yeah you're not pissed about

00:05:06.180 this am i pissed about that you you you love the putin ask us do i love it yeah so i was gonna i'm

00:05:12.480 glad you asked because i was gonna ask you a question about that so if you loved putin

00:05:15.300 why why wouldn't he just you know take the weapons that were given away to ukraine and let putin 0.94

00:05:19.620 steamroll ukraine like he totally could have oh why were we still why actually why wouldn't he

00:05:23.880 why wouldn't he help do that against ukraine why wouldn't he help putin take ukraine back

00:05:27.300 why wouldn't he remove sanctions off of russia immediately do that thank god because thank the

00:05:31.720 good lord you remove sanctions no the united states has many checks and balances thune is

00:05:37.320 put sanctions on trump can take him has gone to him mcconnell has gone to him uh the national

00:05:42.900 security complex has gone to him and said you cannot do that and that they would stop him from

00:05:47.820 doing that they also went to him prior to davos and said hey you better knock off the stuff with

00:05:52.940 greenland okay that is a treaty you you had troops preparing for a potential invasion of greenland

00:05:59.000 that were calling lawyers to say,

00:06:01.860 hey, we're going to invade a country that we have a treaty with.

00:06:04.360 So you're not about Putin or Greenland?

00:06:05.800 No, I'm talking about they're all connected

00:06:07.320 because you have people inside the government

00:06:10.120 through the checks and balance of the system

00:06:12.400 that are holding him back from doing the stuff that he would like to do.

00:06:16.440 But Greenland is a national security measure against Russia, though.

00:06:19.100 That's why we want Greenland.

00:06:21.760 No, Greenland is an attack on our allies to help Putin

00:06:27.380 Because when you go after NATO and you start attacking NATO, you're helping Putin.

00:06:33.900 When you drop the materiel that we were sending to Ukraine and the Biden administration and are not sending it anymore, you're helping Putin.

00:06:44.780 When you lift oil sanctions on the Russian oil, on the global oil markets, you're helping Putin.

00:06:52.920 So you're telling me we're not helping Putin?

00:06:54.260 He hasn't lifted the sanctions, though.

00:06:55.860 He did.

00:06:56.380 He just announced it last—Bescent just announced it last week.

00:06:59.960 No, that's what this conversation was about, that they're discussing.

00:07:02.260 No, no, no.

00:07:02.900 Go have somebody Google it.

00:07:04.280 Did they lift Russian sanctions?

00:07:05.180 Trump weighs easing Russia sanctions by other measures to cool oil prices.

00:07:10.780 That's Reuters that came out.

00:07:12.240 Yeah, so he's weighing it.

00:07:13.360 He didn't do it.

00:07:13.800 Yeah, but I'm saying, why wouldn't he do it day one, though?

00:07:16.420 And I say—I imagine he's doing this to ease the oil market.

00:07:20.080 Because, as you know, there are people in the government that are the permanent people. 0.96

00:07:25.900 They see the president as a Christmas help, and they have stopped him from doing it.

00:07:30.080 But if he wants to do something, he's going to do it. 0.99

00:07:31.700 And he hasn't been kissing Putin's ass. 1.00

00:07:34.020 He's been tumbling Putin. 1.00

00:07:34.440 Oh, my God.

00:07:35.200 Okay. 1.00

00:07:35.700 He hasn't been kissing Putin's ass. 1.00

00:07:37.340 Give me an example. 0.99

00:07:38.280 Let me go to ChadGDP and come up with the 10 things that he doesn't do.

00:07:41.860 If you're so adamant about it, why can't you name at least one or two?

00:07:45.020 I just named several of them.

00:07:46.660 What?

00:07:47.300 Okay.

00:07:47.780 You said Greenland.

00:07:49.120 Sanctions, Greenland, peeing all over our allies. 1.00

00:07:52.180 How's Greenland kissing Putin's ass? 1.00

00:07:53.240 Taking out the European alliance, which is obviously helpful to Putin. 0.99

00:07:58.780 Even these conversations are helpful to Putin. 0.90

00:08:02.240 The summit meeting that he had with Putin in Alaska, who started the Ukraine war?

00:08:07.780 Who started the war?

00:08:09.160 Russia.

00:08:09.900 Okay.

00:08:11.140 Actually, I would say NATO did because NATO decided to put weapons in the countries closer and closer to Russia.

00:08:18.780 Okay.

00:08:19.240 Well, then let's really go back in our history then because in 1994,

00:08:23.640 We signed an agreement.

00:08:25.140 They were the sixth largest nuclear arsenal.

00:08:27.580 And we said, give us your nukes in exchange for that.

00:08:30.940 You've been suppressed by the Russians for 300-plus years.

00:08:34.880 We will give you security guarantees.

00:08:36.500 Is it suppressed by the Russians for 300 years if you're part of Russia, though?

00:08:39.460 Like, they were part of Russia for 97% of all of history of that territory.

00:08:43.100 So we kind of went in there when the regime collapsed and said, all right, hey, guys, this could be a new country now.

00:08:48.140 We'll help you run it.

00:08:49.340 Hold on a second.

00:08:49.760 So you're saying that the Russians were not an imperialist power and took over those republics?

00:08:57.520 So in 1991—

00:08:58.760 Okay, but everybody took over everybody.

00:09:00.140 So what are we talking about?

00:09:02.020 Are you calling America imperialists for taking over this territory?

00:09:07.680 Yeah, of course.

00:09:08.860 Of course, look what we did.

00:09:09.760 We killed 32 million Mexicans in the Mexican-American War.

00:09:13.280 So what, are you mad that we took over Texas and California?

00:09:16.500 Am I mad that we took over Texas and California?

00:09:19.060 You know, I'm a realist about history, but this is current contemporary history that if you want to live in the rules-based order that we set up to protect our prosperity and to protect our freedoms here, you have to reject incursions into sovereign territory today.

00:09:38.820 I'm not talking about the Mexican-American War or what happened in the 1630s.

00:09:45.540 I'm talking about what happened in 2022.

00:09:47.740 too. And so if you want to be in a rules-based society and you want to reject this type of

00:09:54.360 behavior so that we can maintain dollar supremacy, maintain our freedoms and project our power around

00:10:01.940 the world, yeah, you got to reject nonsense like that. Yes, you do. What are you thinking right

00:10:05.380 now? Listen to this exchange. So two things. The first thing is I think it's true that Trump has

00:10:13.800 some sort of an affinity with Putin. I don't think he's betraying any of his America first

00:10:19.180 objectives or anything like that. But there always has been from the media to cabinet members

00:10:24.640 commenting, they said, you know, it's like maybe maybe he appreciates his style of leadership,

00:10:31.000 not the execution of of billionaires or or of dissidents or the seizure of rightfully owned

00:10:40.880 companies, which Putin has done. There's a side of that government, Russian government over there

00:10:46.100 that I think we all know is a mob. So, but there's been this something that Trump has appreciated,

00:10:53.380 liked, or otherwise been deferential to with Putin. It's always been there. The other side

00:10:58.120 of it is, I'm not sure everything, I agree with Anthony on everything. Greenland, I think we were

00:11:03.760 thinking a lot about rare earth minerals and a lot about how China at the beginning of the

00:11:10.480 administration, that was a big question because a lot of stuff was needed for U.S. manufacturing.

00:11:16.240 A lot of those minerals were needed, right? And so I really believe that he was trying to corner

00:11:20.240 China and that Greenland represented an opportunity to prevent China from extracting 0.97

00:11:26.540 and working with rare earth minerals. But what it also did, it did put him into this collision

00:11:32.740 with our quote unquote friends in NATO who said, wait a minute, you know, one of one of the European

00:11:40.920 countries has done a very good job managing Greenland the same way you've done a reasonable

00:11:45.340 job managing Puerto Rico. That's kind of the relationship, right? Greenland is sovereign to

00:11:50.840 a point, but it's managed and it gets welfare assistance from European country. Puerto Rico

00:11:58.560 has its own independence but it gets support from us so i think there is that going on i i'm i'm not

00:12:06.040 sure about the whole chess game that all the moves were helping putin but i do believe that

00:12:11.920 the president's been deferential to him but i think there was more in helsinki in helsinki

00:12:17.540 when the press asked them do you believe your own intelligence about the russians meddling in the

00:12:24.200 2016 election, or do you believe

00:12:26.280 Putin? What did he say?

00:12:28.760 He said Putin.

00:12:30.220 Because his own intelligence were working, they were

00:12:32.120 spying on him. You didn't just say

00:12:34.280 that, Mooch. Come on, Anthony. 1.00

00:12:36.660 You said that? You think he's going

00:12:38.300 to side with the Russian

00:12:40.360 intelligence that the government, when they

00:12:42.320 were, you know, going... I think

00:12:44.040 siding with him and making a comment...

00:12:46.080 Go to the tape. Go to the tape. He told me they didn't.

00:12:47.520 Go to the tape. He said it. I didn't say it.

00:12:49.600 He didn't put a hand on a Bible 0.58

00:12:51.600 for Russia. He said,

00:12:53.120 I have no reason not to believe him, is what he said.

00:12:56.080 I'm not going by what I'm saying.

00:12:57.780 I'm going by what he said. 0.99

00:12:59.620 I was asked to provide evidence about the ass-kissing of Vladimir Putin by Donald Trump, 0.98

00:13:05.720 and so I'm providing the evidence. 0.97

00:13:07.260 Oh, you know, it's interesting when you're saying that.

00:13:10.000 This is the—there is a lot of people I don't like,

00:13:14.320 and I'll still give a reasonable opinion about what they're doing.

00:13:16.840 There's a lot of people I don't like that I'll still give my thoughts on them.

00:13:20.400 I think to me, I trust him in the situational room better than anybody else we have right now.

00:13:27.620 I trust his ability to negotiate on behalf of America better than anybody we have in America right now.

00:13:33.920 I trust that the enemy hated him from day one, did everything in their power with the $35 million dossier

00:13:40.600 that Hillary wrote that saying Russians were involved and at the end of the day we realized it was all fake.

00:13:46.740 I realized what Obama was doing using the DOJ to spy on his worst-than-Watergate.

00:13:52.360 All of this stuff has happened.

00:13:53.700 This is not like it's a myth.

00:13:56.220 I understand they went after this guy because he exposed the hell out of everybody.

00:14:00.760 And he's the first guy that will call out, say anything about you, your people, your family.

00:14:08.700 He brought out women that Bill Clinton was with in a debate with Hillary in front of his wife.

00:14:14.460 He's capable of doing anything to try to destroy you.

00:14:19.200 That's his MO.

00:14:20.740 You like it, you don't like it, that's how he is.

00:14:23.200 But if I'm sitting here, why did Putin attack under Biden?

00:14:28.160 He didn't attack under Trump.

00:14:29.360 He waited until Biden was in.

00:14:30.440 You think Putin wants a Trump presidency?

00:14:33.300 You think Russia wants a Trump presidency?

00:14:35.740 You think Iran wants a Trump presidency?

00:14:37.760 Tell me which of those three prefer Kamala Harris or Trump.

00:14:40.820 Anthony, you really think Russia, Iran, and China would prefer a Trump president over Kamala or Biden?

00:14:47.280 You can't.

00:14:48.320 You really want me to answer that?

00:14:49.260 I know you're going to say.

00:14:50.300 Go ahead.

00:14:50.620 You're going to say who.

00:14:53.620 Okay.

00:14:54.200 Well, let me answer it with a question.

00:14:55.940 Has China, by our adversaries and our allies, been perceived as being a more stable trading partner than the United States under Donald Trump, too?

00:15:08.900 Yes or no?

00:15:09.420 You didn't answer my question, though.

00:15:10.780 Well, I did answer it because China is doing way better with Trump as president.

00:15:15.560 Way better with Trump as president.

00:15:17.120 And if they want to take Taiwan, Trump has given them ample license to do that.

00:15:22.760 Then how come they haven't yet?

00:15:24.440 Why haven't they yet?

00:15:25.060 Well, they don't have the military capability to do it.

00:15:27.180 But trust me, the minute that they have the military capability of doing that, they want to do that.

00:15:31.760 Because you said something about Trump, which I do agree with, about legacy, and you also said it.

00:15:36.400 And Xi's legacy is that he wants to be bigger than Mao.

00:15:39.420 And that was Mao's legacy.

00:15:40.880 He got the mainland, but he couldn't get the island of Formosa.

00:15:44.660 And so Xi wants to go down in history as the guy that connected the two.

00:15:48.740 But the Chinese are doing way better in the global economy.

00:15:52.060 Are they really?

00:15:52.880 They are.

00:15:53.420 Okay.

00:15:53.680 Mao had Chiang Kai-shek. 0.87

00:15:55.540 Look at the math.

00:15:56.340 Patrick, look at the math and look at the tariffs.

00:15:59.340 What happened to Panama?

00:16:02.280 What happened to Panama?

00:16:02.880 Guys, I'm in the markets all day.

00:16:04.100 I'm running billions of dollars.

00:16:05.240 What happened to Panama?

00:16:06.620 What happened in Panama?

00:16:07.720 You mean with the ports?

00:16:09.440 Do you prefer Panama being controlled by C.K. Hutchinson or it being here?

00:16:14.480 You think what's going on with Panama is a good thing for China? 1.00

00:16:17.820 First of all, the Li Ka-Shing family are clients of mine,

00:16:21.520 and I understand the relationship that they had there,

00:16:24.900 and I don't see that as Chinese nationalism like other people do.

00:16:29.380 That is a Hong Kong family that's a capitalist family

00:16:32.880 that did every single thing that the United States wanted to do with those ports.

00:16:36.620 Having said that, okay, that the fact that the president didn't want those guys there,

00:16:42.020 I have absolutely no problem with it.

00:16:43.560 I think BlackRock is taking over those ports.

00:16:48.880 I have no problem with that, and I think that's part of the good things.

00:16:52.180 I'll call balls and strikes on Trump and tell you what he's doing right and doing wrong.

00:16:55.960 I think he did a great job in Venezuela, but I think he hurts us with tariffs on, tariffs off, tariffs on.

00:17:04.040 I said in April of...

00:17:06.380 Anthony, the fact that you're saying China, Iran, Russia would prefer,

00:17:11.220 they're more afraid of Kamala or Biden over Trump.

00:17:14.180 I didn't say they were more afraid of Biden or Kamala.

00:17:16.900 Here's all you've got to think about.

00:17:18.080 Behind closed doors, behind closed doors.

00:17:19.640 I didn't say that.

00:17:20.100 When they're talking, Anthony.

00:17:20.980 They're doing better with him with this sort of nonsense.

00:17:23.780 Those are two different things.

00:17:24.340 When they're talking, when they're talking,

00:17:26.940 do you think a Xi, a Putin, or the leaders of Iran,

00:17:31.080 do you think they prefer a Trump or a Kamala Biden?

00:17:34.040 who do you think they prefer to deal with?

00:17:37.560 Well, I think Putin definitely prefers dealing with Trump

00:17:40.120 because I think he has been less adversarial to Putin.

00:17:43.820 So there, I think as it relates to the mullahs,

00:17:47.180 they definitely don't want to deal with Trump

00:17:48.920 because Trump has the conviction to put a hurt on them,

00:17:52.400 which he is doing.

00:17:53.520 And I think with China, I've made my economic case with China 0.98

00:17:58.420 when you're sending Mark Carney, Keir Starmer.

00:18:01.660 Who would they prefer?

00:18:03.540 Do you think China...

00:18:04.220 They're doing better under Trump, Patrick.

00:18:05.920 You still haven't answered my question, though.

00:18:07.460 They would prefer Trump.

00:18:09.000 They're doing better.

00:18:09.960 There is no way...

00:18:10.640 They are.

00:18:10.920 The only ones...

00:18:11.500 Of those three, the only ones that doesn't prefer Trump are the mullahs in New York. 1.00

00:18:15.260 Let me ask you this question.

00:18:16.240 I'm just telling you based on the economic facts.

00:18:17.900 Do you think China...

00:18:19.540 Do you think China could have stopped and shut down the airports earlier to not release COVID to the world?

00:18:26.620 At a time that they were being destroyed?

00:18:29.180 Do you think at that time China could have prevented COVID?

00:18:32.460 Now that we know it's coming from there, could they have prevented it?

00:18:34.740 I do think that.

00:18:35.340 Why didn't they?

00:18:35.880 Do you think they released it intentionally?

00:18:39.420 Well, I mean, you know, I do think that they released it intentionally.

00:18:42.900 So why did they release it intentionally?

00:18:44.400 To get rid of Trump.

00:18:45.120 Is that what you're saying?

00:18:45.720 No, I want to know what you think.

00:18:46.920 Why do you think they released it intentionally?

00:18:49.580 $18 trillion of economy.

00:18:51.880 I mean, it's very.

00:18:52.960 Millions of lives, 7 million people, I believe.

00:18:54.920 It's very hard to know why.

00:18:58.500 Let's speculate towards the end.

00:18:59.400 You're saying the superficial reason why was they were trying to get rid of Trump.

00:19:04.480 Give me two or three reasons why you think.

00:19:05.860 I think it was a lot deeper than that.

00:19:07.820 I think that there are seven balkanized provinces in China.

00:19:12.740 There are 90 million people that run the Chinese Communist Party, and they were losing their grip on China.

00:19:18.660 Lots more VPN usage, lots more people like in Iran that don't like the system and want more freedom.

00:19:26.540 And by unleashing that, they were able to go massive repression on their people.

00:19:33.400 And as you know, they were locked down in their area of the world for almost three years longer than us.

00:19:39.760 So was another reason to dislodge Trump?

00:19:44.240 Yes, probably another reason to dislodge Trump.

00:19:46.820 I don't think they liked the trade deal that they did with Trump.

00:19:49.380 And again, to be fair to the president, the president struck a very good trade deal with them for the U.S. farmers.

00:19:55.800 and Joe Biden, due to Joe Biden's weakness and the incompetence of that administration,

00:20:01.600 I think you guys all know this, they didn't live up to the deal, okay?

00:20:05.220 So they had three or four years where they were supposed to buy

00:20:08.360 a certain amount of agricultural products from the United States,

00:20:11.660 and they didn't live up to it.

00:20:13.220 So it's a mixed bag.

00:20:14.760 I understand the point that you're making,

00:20:17.200 but I'm making a little bit more subtle point where you can go down subject line

00:20:21.100 by subject line and say they would prefer Trump, they would prefer Biden,

00:20:25.300 and they would prefer to.

00:20:26.160 That's what I'm saying.

00:20:26.860 There is no way.

00:20:28.340 You think they unleashed it to get rid of Trump,

00:20:31.500 and I'm saying that was one of the reasons.

00:20:33.300 How was America doing right before that?

00:20:36.780 How was America doing right before that?

00:20:38.980 Right before they released it in December 20, whatever it was,

00:20:42.540 how was America doing?

00:20:43.660 How were we doing?

00:20:44.260 That's an American-centric view.

00:20:46.340 I think the leadership in China was more central.

00:20:49.880 Their view and decision-making was more centralized

00:20:52.020 to repressing China. 0.60

00:20:54.180 What are in China?

00:20:54.780 What percentage of your investments are in China?

00:20:57.000 What percent?

00:20:57.620 So C.K. Hutchinson, who is a client of yours.

00:21:00.060 I don't have any investments in China.

00:21:01.460 I have assets from mostly Hong Kong.

00:21:04.840 Okay.

00:21:05.240 Yeah, to me, because, you know, to me, when you see what America was doing,

00:21:10.820 Trump had an easy route to being reelected.

00:21:13.720 He was going to get reelected.

00:21:14.980 There's no COVID.

00:21:15.700 He gets reelected.

00:21:16.580 Okay, so I agree that he was getting reelected, and I would have bet that reelection.

00:21:22.700 I'm just saying to you your view, okay, which I'm not disagreeing with.

00:21:29.560 I just think it's number three on the list of reasons that they –

00:21:32.900 Yeah, they wanted to get rid of him.

00:21:34.220 So if you wanted to get rid of the guy, let's make it number five, number six.

00:21:37.120 Now, I don't care if it's top 20 list.

00:21:39.100 You want to get – getting rid of somebody is a way of saying we don't want that guy back, okay?

00:21:43.660 Now that he's back, he's helping them with this arbitrary capricious tariff strategy.

00:21:48.860 I don't mind – listen, I don't mind.

00:21:51.360 The whole Supreme Court ruling that happened 6-3 and they have to go back

00:21:55.500 and now they're forcing to pay out.

00:21:56.780 Apparently they have to pay out even sooner the way the court's doing it 0.92

00:21:59.200 and they're going back and forth with that.

00:22:01.260 I trust the Constitution.

00:22:03.860 The Supreme Court became a very powerful thing for us to watch the last eight years,

00:22:08.920 him replacing three seats.

00:22:11.900 And if it was the other way around, I don't know what Obama's Supreme Court ruling

00:22:16.700 would have been if they tried to remove him from being on the Colorado ballots

00:22:19.880 And if one state would have agreed, two, three, four, who knows what could have happened if we had six, seven liberal Supreme Court justices there.

00:22:27.500 They ruled with Trump on that.

00:22:28.740 I know they did, but because it was a conservative majority Supreme Court.

00:22:32.920 Look, I mean, a conservative court ruled with Obama on Obamacare.

00:22:38.000 They did, and a conservative ruled against Trump on tariffs.

00:22:40.820 So the part of what I'm saying is I trust the Constitution because of Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court here, conservatives will typically more side with their values.

00:22:52.400 Liberal Supreme Courts will typically side with their political party much more than conservatives will if you draw the line and go through it.

00:22:59.920 That has definitely been the case, the decisions over the last 10 years.

00:23:02.420 So to me, I realize Trump's a disruptor.

00:23:05.400 I realize if we wanted something to happen to completely dismantle.

00:23:09.900 And by the way, you know, I'm curious to go here, Tom.

00:23:12.460 I'll go to this one.

00:23:13.460 Can we go back to one thing, though, if you don't mind?

00:23:14.920 So you guys collectively, there's four people here. 1.00

00:23:17.980 If we put it to a vote, I'm the only one that thinks that Trump kisses Putin's ass? 0.99

00:23:22.860 I'm the only one here? 1.00

00:23:23.860 Yeah, definitely.

00:23:24.320 So you don't. 1.00

00:23:25.060 And you don't think he kisses Putin's ass? 1.00

00:23:26.560 No, I don't think he does. 1.00

00:23:27.600 Is he differential to him?

00:23:29.160 Absolutely not.

00:23:30.240 I think it's the following.

00:23:34.940 Listen, do you think the audience is happy that I have you right now on the podcast?

00:23:38.940 What do you think?

00:23:40.220 I'm getting some negative reaction because they love Trump.

00:23:42.500 No, but here's what I'm trying to tell you is I don't care if the audience is not happy that I have you.

00:23:49.320 I want to have the conversation with somebody that maybe has a deferred view.

00:23:52.200 I want to have that conversation, right?

00:23:54.460 I don't mind it.

00:23:55.160 So there's a part where the audience is going to be like, I can't believe you had him on.

00:23:58.940 I can't believe you had Wiener on.

00:24:00.680 I can't believe you had Cuomo on.

00:24:02.060 I can't believe.

00:24:02.540 Well, that's what makes a good podcast.

00:24:04.000 I want to talk to everybody.

00:24:08.180 I want to talk to people and see how the conversations will go, even if it's differing.

00:24:12.180 No.

00:24:12.740 For me, when you sit there and think about what he's doing, he works the room.

00:24:18.960 He's the best politician we've had in our generation.

00:24:21.900 He's a negotiator.

00:24:23.200 He's tough.

00:24:24.060 He's strong.

00:24:24.940 He's unpredictable and predictable in the most important ways that we need today.

00:24:30.780 So for me, I like that.

00:24:32.700 I trust that part of it.

00:24:35.040 You know, there's an element of certain guys that come out of startups.

00:24:38.420 You know how there's wartime leaders and there's peacetime leaders and there's startup CEO founders and then there's, you know, corporate CEOs.

00:24:44.880 You ever want to see how startup CEOs don't typically go take that big corporate job and corporate job guys, the big CEOs typically don't show up during the startup phase.

00:24:55.100 Why?

00:24:56.040 They're not used to the chaos that much.

00:24:58.920 You know, I don't know if you saw the new contract they just gave to the new CEO of Google.

00:25:02.700 You see the number? $639 million or $649 million payday.

00:25:07.420 He's not the founder. He's the CEO.

00:25:08.920 He's going to get paid a few billion dollars over the next few years.

00:25:11.480 And by the way, $692, good for him.

00:25:14.140 Trump is a founder, startup, chaos, you know, being inside the tornado.

00:25:20.680 That's his comfort zone. That's not everybody.

00:25:23.760 To be able to handle all of this at the same time

00:25:26.400 and still come up to the State of the Union

00:25:27.940 and drop the message as if it's the greatest time to be an American

00:25:31.760 three days after Supreme Court ruled against you

00:25:34.380 and some of them are sitting right in front of you

00:25:36.060 and three days after you know you're going to attack Iran 0.70

00:25:38.400 and nobody knows, nobody in America can do that today.

00:25:42.420 That's what makes him unique and that's what drives his opponents insane

00:25:46.560 because they know he's capable of doing that and taking criticism.

00:25:49.140 Why do you think his approval numbers then are so low?

00:25:51.160 Amongst who? Amongst Republicans?

00:25:52.980 No, if you look at, no, he's very high among the Republicans.

00:25:55.960 That's what matters to him. That's his base.

00:25:57.660 You think it's going to, by the way, voter ID, go to voter ID.

00:26:01.060 What did CNN show with voter ID?

00:26:03.120 All this stuff you see that blacks and, you know, what do you call it? 1.00

00:26:09.640 Black people can't vote. 1.00

00:26:11.360 Black people can't do this. 1.00

00:26:12.820 Black people can't do that. 1.00

00:26:13.980 Like all these stuff that, Rob, if you want to show this real quick, 0.99

00:26:18.260 I just have this on my phone.

00:26:20.020 Not this clip.

00:26:20.760 If you can show up this picture.

00:26:21.980 So this is what everyone's saying about voting. 0.95

00:26:25.120 Chuck Schumer said blacks aren't capable of getting IDs. 0.97

00:26:30.540 Okay? 0.99

00:26:31.060 Hochul, blacks don't know what a computer is. 1.00

00:26:34.640 Newsom, I can't read. 0.99

00:26:36.440 I'm just like you black people, okay? 1.00

00:26:39.000 Biden, you ain't black unless you vote for me. 0.99

00:26:42.060 That's the opposite. 0.92

00:26:43.720 That's the Democratic Party.

00:26:45.400 And you know what they're doing, this fear porn of voter ID?

00:26:48.180 They believe illegal immigrant Mexicans or others that are coming from South and Central America, 0.97

00:26:54.720 they believe they're capable of getting an ID, but they don't think black people are capable of getting an ID.

00:26:59.700 And in the interim, CNN comes out with a poll showing what?

00:27:05.100 That majority of Americans are with them on voter ID.

00:27:29.700 far now my lips are sealed marvel television's wonder man all eight episodes now streaming only

00:27:37.120 on disney plus you don't have to convince me on that issue i think i think the i think the

00:27:42.080 historical issue there this is where the democrats are making a mistake is that when blacks were

00:27:47.580 voting after the voting rights act and i'm talking about the one that was passed after the civil war

00:27:53.780 they got their ids they went to their houses and the kkk set fire to the houses and lynched 0.56

00:27:59.580 the fathers okay that happened 150 years ago i don't think people should be able to go into the

00:28:06.740 voting booth without an id so i'm for the voter no what i'm saying is a majority you know i remember

00:28:12.280 i'm a lifelong republican there's stuff about trump i like yeah and there's stuff about trump

00:28:16.840 i dislike but i think he's crushing it in my opinion i think he's doing great okay and i think

00:28:21.320 he's again i i could be wrong and when i am we'll sit there and we'll talk about it i think he's

00:28:26.380 doing great some of the content is great i think some of the style is really hurting the country

00:28:30.340 i don't disagree i by the way i don't think this a disagree that his style hasn't heard it for nine

00:28:35.740 years i was in that he was in i don't think you know that whatever five and a half years that

00:28:40.380 he's been in uh but to me you can't get one without the other okay you can't you see what

00:28:47.100 rubio is doing right now by the way there's this is the part i'd like to go to because i'm curious

00:28:50.500 to know what you'll say about this i want to tell you guys what's going on with us we're hiring

00:28:53.640 aggressively, nearly 50% plus of the employees that work at Valuetainment, any one of our

00:29:40.280 Go for it, Rob.

00:29:41.320 Many times when people think about value tame and all they think about is a podcast, but

00:30:15.720 And then on the complete opposite side of the campus, there's a full-on production company with editors, shooters, creating content, doing podcasts.

00:30:22.700 Then you can drive down a couple miles and go to our private boardroom, Cigar Lounge, with members only.

00:30:27.520 Regardless of what it is, working at Valuetainment, every day is a surprise.

00:30:31.640 You could be walking into work and right next to you is a governor, is a billionaire, is an athlete.

00:30:36.680 We are hiring aggressively, but Valuetainment isn't for everybody.
