Did you ever think you would make it?
I feel I'm supposed to take sweet victory Know this life meant for me Adam, what's your point?
The future looks bright My handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here You are a one-on-one? My son's right there I don't think I've ever said this before All right. You know, this is this is what today is the 29th. We're two days away from 2026. I hope you're ready for it. There are some people that are writing their business plans of how to go to Minnesota and open up a leering center and create opportunities. you're seeing girls being very impressed with guys that have their own facilities video i know you've been paying attention to this very closely in minnesota can you guys imagine a 23 year old guy named nick shirley decides to go to minnesota with a camera and another man who's from minnesota been investigating everything this 42-minute video if you've not seen this 42-minute video
by Nick Shirley that he posted. I don't know how many views it's at right now. That 42 minute video is over 111 million views on X, 536,000 likes, 199,000 retweets. And this is hundreds of millions of views because it doesn't account for other people that are retweeting. And he's going to all these facilities. This one should have 102 kids, $2.6 million, the government fund, and knocking on the doors. Are there any kids here? No. Why not? It's the middle of the week, middle of the day. No. Next one, boom, boom, boom. Hey, are there any kids here in 95? No. Hey, get out of here. Hey, what are you doing here? Turn off the camera. 23-year-old kid is like, what are you guys doing? By the way, while this is happening, you know what's crazy?
If we go right now, and we'll talk about that here in a minute, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, any of those guys, this is how much you're talking about it. This is how much you're talking about it. Because a guy named Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar are both holding each other, protecting each other, because if one drops the ball and throws the other one under the bus, it's going to be like this. And that's what Tom was talking about yesterday. And then if you're in Iran, folks... Things are very nasty in Iran, very, very nasty in Iran. I'm gonna show you the numbers. When we left Iran, if you wanted to convert a rial into a dollar, you needed 70 rials to buy $1, okay? 70 to buy $1. The numbers just came in today. If you want to get $1, you need 1,437,500 Riyals to buy $1.
Unbelievable. Top extenders at the bazaar are shutting down. The amount of rioting and protesting right now in Iran, they're so sick and tired of it. And it looks like something's about to happen. If this thing hits to two million rials per dollar, it could get pretty nasty.
What is the Minnesota daycare fraud scandal?
We'll talk about that as well. Iran flat out came out and said, listen, our enemy is Israel. Our enemy is Iran. U.S., our enemy is Europe. They called everybody out that's their enemy. Tom, could you mute yourself because you keep moving paper and I hear it. If you don't mind, until we come to you. Thank you, Mr. Ellsworth. Okay, so next, the fight for young men intensifies ahead of 2028, 2026 midterms. They're showing how Trump won the election in 2024 with winning over young men. But now they're saying that Democrats have figured out how to win young men over because they're going to need that for midterms in 2028. We'll talk about that. Musk and Mamdani go back and forth. Musk calls out Mamdani on X. Mamdani calls him back.
Vinny's got some thoughts on this. This one story that we have to touch, and maybe second or third story we touch, it's this 5% billionaire tax that they want to add into California. to some folks there, and David Sachs got involved, Chamath got involved. Apparently, if you're worth a billion dollars or more as of January 1st of 2026, they're going to put 5% tax, they want to put 5% tax on your entire network. You're worth $7 billion, $6 billion of it on paper. You have to pay them $700 million to the government as if they know how to handle their money. And then video comes out showing how much fraud is going on in California.
