Netflix hires an investment banker to explore a bit for Warner Brothers, Disney, Warner Brothers Discovery Reports.
00:00:09.940
Ah, man, do we want to do it today or Wednesday time?
00:00:14.840
I tell everybody, come back business Wednesday.
00:00:16.740
We're going to dive into a bunch of stuff like this.
00:00:18.200
I have a whole breakdown for Disney, and I'm going to tell you some thoughts.
00:00:23.840
Heritage Foundation shaking up staff and wake up Tucker Carlson and Nick Quintus controversy.
00:00:29.780
This is the Heritage Foundation president defending Tucker Carlson's interview with Nick Quintus.
00:00:35.540
By the way, isn't Kevin Roberts the one who was interviewed on World Economic Forum a year and a half ago where he crushed it with the three-minute and 20-second clip that he had?
00:00:56.280
Heritage Foundation Kevin Roberts announced staff reassignments on Friday in the wake of the conservative uprover statement defending Tucker Carlson.
00:01:04.920
I have more to say on this in the coming days, but today I want to be clear about one thing.
00:01:10.200
Christians can critique the state of Israel without being anti-Semitic.
00:01:13.800
And, of course, anti-Semitism should be condemned.
00:01:18.340
My loyalty as a Christian and as an American is to Christ first and to America always.
00:01:24.440
When it serves the interest of the United States to cooperate with Israel, but when it doesn't, conservatives should feel no obligation to reflexively support any foreign government, no matter how loud the pressure becomes from the globalist class or from their mouthpieces in Washington.
00:01:38.980
The Heritage Foundation didn't become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by canceling our own people or policing the consciences of Christians.
00:01:51.720
We don't take direction from comments on X, though we are grateful for the robust free speech debate.
00:01:57.980
We also don't take direction from members or donors, though we are inherently grateful for their support.
00:02:05.480
This is the robust debate we invite with our colleagues, our movement friends, our members, and the American public.
00:02:18.980
And we will always defend our friends against the slander of bad actors who serve someone else's agenda.
00:02:26.080
That includes Tucker Carlson, who remains and, as I have said before, always will be a close friend of the Heritage Foundation.
00:02:33.240
The venomous coalition attacking him are sowing division.
00:02:41.060
Most importantly, the American people expect us to be focusing on our political adversaries on the left, not attacking our friends on the right.
00:02:50.480
I disagree with, and even abhor, things that Nick Fuentes says.
00:02:57.700
When we disagree with a person's thoughts and opinions, we challenge those ideas and debate.
00:03:03.780
And we have seen success in this approach as we continue to dismantle the vile ideas of the left.
00:03:09.380
As my friend, Vice President Vance said last night, what I am not okay with is any country coming before the interest.
00:03:32.860
And I look at things around the world, and there's allies we have and things you support.
00:03:39.360
And I think him coming out and supporting Tucker very specifically, this is the Heritage Foundation saying, hey, this is what we're all about.
00:03:55.580
Is the issue, Rob, all predicated based on Tucker having Nick on?
00:04:05.280
Tucker gets all kinds of heat and all kinds of things being thrown at him.
00:04:08.720
Heritage Foundation comes out and says, bup, bup, bup, bup, bup.
00:04:23.060
I believe he was just elected to office in this year.
00:04:26.200
He is at the Republican Jewish Coalition this past weekend where he claims that Tucker Carlson is the most dangerous.
00:04:40.720
Tucker Carlson is the most dangerous anti-Semite in America.
00:04:51.840
Can you find out how many people were at this event?
00:05:02.920
It's not that it doesn't sound like it's a lot.
00:05:04.800
It doesn't sound like it's a lot of people that support what he had to say.
00:05:10.120
Can we find out how many people were in attendance at this event?
00:05:16.820
It appears only people in those first couple rows that could be seen on camera held up that Tucker is not MAGA sign.
00:05:30.060
I smell a rat the same way I think you're smelling a rat, Pat.
00:05:32.620
Pat, there's 1,000 people here, and it sounds like a couple dozen clapping.
00:05:35.960
I'm actually taking a very different angle here.
00:05:46.220
So if you've got 1,000 people, go back to when he said it again, Rob.
00:05:52.780
Tucker Carlson is the most dangerous anti-Semite in America.
00:06:14.300
Because by the end of the event, half the room was gone from what I was told that what happened.
00:06:20.940
I was told that the event was Mayweather was at this event, if I'm not mistaken.
00:06:25.380
A couple other guys were at this event, if I'm not mistaken.
00:06:32.320
So Tucker Carlson, he says, is the biggest what?
00:06:37.840
He has chosen to take on the mantle of leader of a modern-day Hitler youth.
00:06:43.300
To broadcast and feature those who celebrate the Nazis, those who call for the extermination
00:06:49.620
of Israel, to defend Hamas, to even criticize President Trump for stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions.
00:07:03.300
Tucker's fall from grace has been one of the most extraordinary implosions in political history.
00:07:14.680
And the rapidity of it has created real challenges for us all.
00:07:19.620
Because our friends don't have our shared experience.
00:07:23.960
I even deal with this with my colleagues in the house.
00:07:27.140
See, they remember the Tucker of five years ago.
00:07:36.460
But, Pat, is he the same guy that said that we should have nuke Gaza?
00:07:42.000
But he said it would be a bad idea because of the fallout with Israel.
00:07:50.080
He's not the face – he's not the majority of the Jews that you deal with.
00:07:56.060
Because you take a complete minority of the opposing side and a complete minority on the other side,
00:08:03.900
and you pin them at each other, and it sounds like it's the majority of each side, and it's not.
00:08:18.480
Randy doesn't sound any different than a – who was the guy that we had here who –
00:08:24.880
you know, we were trying to do a debate with him and Jason, and it didn't happen.
00:08:36.380
He sounds like the Roland Martin of the Jewish side.
00:08:41.140
You don't sound any different than you don't know what it is to be black.
00:08:51.600
It's just selling more victimhood, victimhood, victimhood, victimhood, victimhood, victimhood.
00:08:55.500
By the way, you know what the challenge is sometimes?
00:08:59.320
Like every time we would launch a new product and people didn't know how to sell it.
00:09:07.040
We would sit down, Vinny, with a new product to sell.
00:09:11.980
I'm like, you know, you're not selling it right to resonate with the audience.
00:09:16.520
You're trying to get to either recruit them over to us or to sell to that clientele.
00:09:22.640
You don't know how to sell that product and package it right.
00:09:35.480
Rather than trying to improve your – instead of, you know, saying it's anti-Semite, it's anti-Semite, that,
00:09:46.460
Hire a – listen, do you know what the Jewish community desperately needs?
00:09:54.420
To sit down with them and say, here's how I would repackage your messaging.
00:10:00.760
Because you sound like the reparations of African-Americans when it's like you don't understand what it is to be black.
00:10:13.600
You know, Nick Fuentes, I sat there and I talked to him.
00:10:18.700
When I showed him that clip from him at 18 years old, and I said, look, that kind of sounds racist.
00:10:28.320
You know, so we have to also realize that you're kind of going through it.
00:10:30.960
And you're, you know, some stupid things I did at 18 years old.
00:10:35.980
But to me, a Nick and a Tucker sitting together is actually a very interesting conversation that probably most people –
00:10:45.540
now, by the way, some people are criticizing because when Nick said, what, December 18th is one of my favorite days.
00:11:00.980
And we'll come back to – we'll have the conversation.
00:11:02.560
I haven't seen the whole interview, so I don't want to judge it, saying the fact that I've seen the entire interview.
00:11:20.500
It waters down the term anti-Semite to say somebody like Tucker is the biggest anti-Semite in the world.
00:11:33.920
It's something that loses its power and its value.
00:11:37.360
Tom, I just think it's the only child syndrome.
00:11:40.420
Do you have friends that were only the only child?
00:11:47.280
Don't say the name, but just think about who that person was.
00:11:52.240
What was their – and especially if the parents had money.
00:11:55.480
Don't think about the only child when parents didn't have money.
00:11:57.860
And don't think about the only child because people – parents didn't want to have more kids.
00:12:01.240
Think about the parents that had one kid and they said, we only want one kid.
00:12:06.180
One, I loved him to death because he was always available.
00:12:09.620
And the reason he was always available because he didn't have brothers and sisters.
00:12:12.300
He didn't have things he had responsibilities to do.
00:12:14.000
And so he was always the guy you could count on to be able to go with you or do something.
00:12:19.140
But you know who was the hardest person to give feedback to because he never felt he was wrong?
00:12:26.840
Because he was at home and he never got corrected and he never understood being compared to a brother or sister.
00:12:35.440
So whenever we would get into it with him, we would say, dude's just being dude.
00:12:40.180
And that would be – instead of dude, it was his name.
00:12:42.040
You know what Israel – you want to know what Israel needs?
00:12:57.400
This is going to be the craziest idea I'm going to put out there.
00:13:00.140
And please, if you support it, cut it, clip it, put it on X, and let's see what people say about it.
00:13:04.800
I believe the way to save Israel, for them to be humbled, is Israel needs a roast like the Tom Brady roast.
00:13:14.480
Put Netanyahu in the middle, bring Kevin Hart, Andrew Schultz, Dave Smith, bring – who's the guy – kill Tony.
00:13:24.380
Who is the other guy – who's the other guy that plays Biden?
00:13:32.560
Bring all of these comedians and let them do a three-hour roast on Israel.
00:13:38.360
Let them make so much fun of them, so much of it.
00:13:42.200
And if you can take it, then the world is finally going to be like, all right, let's move on.
00:14:22.080
Do you know how many nasty jokes we would say about each other?
00:14:27.100
And there was always that handful of kids that couldn't take it.
00:14:30.060
I think I'm going to go, hey, drill sergeant, I want to get out of the Army and I want to ETS.
00:14:43.660
Now, do I believe the other side spends money on bots?
00:14:50.760
And how many total Jews are there in the world?
00:14:55.220
Do I believe they're playing games to pin the world against Israel?
00:14:59.160
Do I believe they're playing games to pin everybody against Jews?
00:15:03.560
Do I believe there are a lot of people that, you know, want to see these things increase even more?
00:15:08.920
Do I believe that, you know, Israel, every year we give them $3 billion?
00:15:13.680
Yes, but we force them to buy 80% of the money with the $3 billion.
00:15:18.540
It's kind of like me saying, I'm going to give you $100, Vinny, but guess what?
00:15:21.800
I want you to spend $80 of it and buy equipment from Tom, who has a business in America.
00:15:28.500
Here's the way of me giving you some equipment.
00:15:37.140
We gave SNAP of people that are from other countries $70 billion last year.
00:15:43.240
Israel has such an easy messaging to do, but because they're the only child syndrome, spoiled,
00:15:50.420
you're acting like a spoiled brat, and quite frankly, it's unattractive.
00:15:54.280
You make it tough for people that support you to support you.
00:15:57.280
And I can't believe I said this right now, but honestly, it's like, give it a flip and break already.
00:16:07.200
If not Bibi, who else is the biggest person like that to do the roast?
00:16:16.100
Do you guys remember when Snoop roasted Trump and Trump sat in the middle?
00:16:19.660
And he said, it ain't the first time you kicked out a black man out of his house.
00:16:23.760
You know, when he told the joke about Obama and all this.
00:16:29.280
Bibi needs a flip and roast and bring the goats that do some painful stuff.
00:16:34.460
Do you remember how painful some of the roasts were?
00:16:36.900
Hey, while your wife was doing jujitsu or whatever.
00:16:43.760
And it's like, hey, don't say anything about Robert Kraft.
00:16:48.380
Brady's, you know, it's like, all right, we're over it.
00:16:56.340
I think if you hired me as a marketing agency, and we can't, we definitely won't take money from you.
00:17:04.140
But if you came and you hired us and we were to give any kind of ideas, I don't know who the hell has given advice to them on the messaging.
00:17:11.380
By the way, at least Charlie Kirk was trying to tell him, your messaging is not sitting with the younger generation.
00:17:34.280
By the way, actually, what happens if he agrees to that roast?
00:17:49.100
Do you think it becomes like, all right, this was kind of funny.
00:17:54.780
And so if they're pushing you like this, ah, you're an anti-Semite.
00:18:08.900
Sometimes all your kids want to do is they just want to say what they feel about you.
00:18:12.520
You know how you go to a dinner table and they're like, the other day I'm having a conversation
00:18:16.500
with my kids and then I'm asking about papas, who got papas.
00:18:20.520
And they're going through the story of all these papas.
00:18:23.000
And it was almost like a therapy session for them because they're like, you know, papa's
00:18:32.220
I've never known that papa's given the kids papas.
00:18:40.260
He says, oh, and then they look at me like, you know, they'll look like I'm crazy.
00:19:00.100
And then, and then they're like, well, listen, Melba too.
00:19:09.880
And then by the time it was out of their system, they're like, all right, you want to go watch
00:19:14.400
But I just think like, dude, some of the most annoying people in my life, you know who they
00:19:30.040
17 complaints from the Only Child kids that, you know, you offended them.
00:19:33.540
But you know what's one of the most annoying people in the world?
00:19:37.540
Think about the most annoying people in the world.
00:19:50.500
Can you run a poll of how many people here are Only Childs?
00:19:56.060
How many people are Only Childs that are watching this podcast?
00:19:58.000
I would say there's over 40,000 people watching, 45,000.
00:20:31.260
I mean, I'll trust that when that hits 4,000 votes because that's when you know it's a real
00:20:35.940
You know who are the most annoying people in the world outside of Only Childs?
00:20:55.860
Do you know, like, here's what's the crazy thing.
00:20:58.600
Do you know, even when I said this, I didn't make any new friends today.
00:21:11.480
I don't have, I'm a, by the way, I'm going to go home by myself tonight.
00:21:17.420
And I think Israel desperately needs a roast for Bibi.
00:21:27.680
Let me tell you, if it ever happens, remember where the idea came from.
00:21:32.620
We're talking about Randy Fine and the way that his attitude and the only child.
00:21:43.660
But if you think about it, too, Pat, and you make a great point.
00:21:46.020
And it's like, by the way, if you're going to do a consulting, the only child thing, you
00:21:49.920
have to like, especially the people that are doing the messaging.
00:21:52.560
Because there's some people on the Israel side that you could tolerate.
00:21:55.760
You could listen to because they make good points.
00:21:56.960
But when you have a Randy Fine saying nuke places, bomb them, and then you have Rabbi
00:22:03.000
Shmuley as one of your biggest, loudest mouthpieces, I would be like, guys, that guy has to retire.
00:22:13.480
The criticizing of a government of a country, when you label, meaning I hate all Jews, that's
00:22:22.120
Because if you can't criticize the government because you're scared to be, I'm not a racist.
00:22:32.920
And I asked you, I said, tell me the worst experience you've ever had with a Jew.
00:22:56.660
But just in general, just trying to work with, yes.
00:23:23.380
But the part is, man, when you get to a point that it's just like, you know, you can't,
00:23:29.740
you get nothing wrong and all this other stuff a little too much.
00:23:47.780
That means we're going to have 35,000 people watching next Monday.
00:23:52.560
Hey, to only child, you have a problem with that?
00:24:06.100
My brother's going to come after you and whoop your ass.
00:24:13.820
Every size was pretty much sold out, including a white that's not even here yet.
00:24:18.900
For black and brown, the only thing that was left was 9, 9 1⁄2, 10, and 11.
00:24:24.440
The only sizes that the shipment goes out today.
00:24:28.460
Those are the only sizes that are left for black and brown.
00:24:34.080
If you go on black, can you officially order size 7 and 8 or not yet?
00:24:39.860
So, officially, the only sizes that we have left are 9, 9 1⁄2, 10, and 11.
00:24:45.060
But I believe that effective here in the next 24 hours, okay, you can go place the order now.
00:24:54.320
Because I was under the impression that it was already up, Rob.
00:25:01.380
The good news is folks came back and they said, Pat, can we get 7, 7 1⁄2, and 8 1⁄2?
00:25:07.860
We officially bought the mold for 7, 7 1⁄2, and 8 1⁄2.
00:25:13.880
We're building the actual mold for 7, 7 1⁄2, and 8 1⁄2.
00:25:18.420
You can officially order all the sizes, the 7, 7 1⁄2, 8, 8 1⁄2, 9, 9 1⁄2, 10, 10 1⁄2, 11, 11, 1⁄2, 12, and 13.
00:25:27.780
Some of the ones are going to come to you first week of February or first week of January.
00:25:39.620
And the feedback we're getting with the people that are wearing their shoes on a daily basis,
00:25:43.420
everywhere I'm going, I'm seeing fans like, Pat, look what I'm wearing.
00:25:48.340
It's great to see people are loving their shoes as much as we're wearing them.
00:25:51.300
If you haven't yet seen the ad, Rob, can you pull up the ad real quick for us to tell you the story of the FLBs,
00:25:58.140
When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury,
00:26:03.160
we had the choice to make it fast, we had the choice to make it cheap.
00:26:11.780
We chose true Italian craftsmanship, each pair touched by 50 skilled hands.
00:26:17.220
We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:26:25.000
Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:26:36.920
We spent a lot of time on these shoes, and if you haven't yet ordered it, the comparable to it is.
00:26:45.860
Think about the same factories, pretty much, that make a lot of these other shoes.
00:26:49.180
The Gucci's, the Zenia's, the Ferragama's, Berluti's, the FLB's.
00:26:54.220
We're talking about high-quality leather, premium, laceless, craftsmanship.
00:26:59.020
The only difference is, it's the only one in the world that has the super foam technology,
00:27:03.320
similar to what OnCloud and Hoka has, making the shoe light and comfortable to wear.
00:27:08.620
When you wear it once, you're going to want to wear it all the time.
00:27:11.720
And again, for some of you that are saying, man, I wish I would have had 7 1⁄2, I wish I had had 8 1⁄2,
00:27:16.140
order it now so you're guaranteed to get yours to come in.
00:27:19.340
And who knows, some of them may come in earlier, but go to vtmerch.com, place your order with the shoes.
00:27:25.620
And by the way, when you do get them, put them on, take a picture, tag us.
