Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Adam, what's your point?
The future looks bright. A handshake is better than anything I ever saw. It's right here. You are a one-on-one? My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before. Okay, so folks, I got a call this morning. Vinny, let me tell you why this is a crazy story. We're driving up, Brooklyn's sitting next to me.
I get a call from Goldman and says, hey, you know, SpaceX IPO is going to happen today and everyone's talking about it. Okay, great. So I said, tell me really what's going on. I said, well, let me tell you the craziest story. I said, what's that? He said, there is roughly 33 employees in SpaceX that when this thing goes public today, They're not executives. They're not C-suites. They're not VPs.
They're not directors. They're not even managers. They're just regular employees that have been there for many, many, many, many years when nothing was going on and everything was breaking that will be getting somewhere between $200 million to $400 million.
No way.
What do you mean? Collectively. No, individually are each getting $200 million to $400 million. Stop it. You're talking about regular workers. Regular. They're not C-suites. They're not VPs. They're not directors. Good for them.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the SpaceX IPO?
By the way, this is the part about equity that most people don't realize. We had one of our guys at the beginning stages of the insurance company that got a lot of equity. But they walked, they ran off. Their equity would be worth a lot of money. Not SpaceX type of money, but it's still life-changing type of money.
So imagine all the people that were employee number 88 of SpaceX or employee number 193 of SpaceX that are like, no, I'm going to go work at Facebook. No, I'm going to go work at Google. No, I'm going to work at somewhere else. And they banked on a different jockey than the one they had. Imagine where they're at today, okay? Imagine how much shit-talking over the years they've given for SpaceX.
Let me tell you what you don't know is the fact that Elon is this and Elon is that and Elon is that, and then boom. By the way, it's going to be the biggest IPO in the history of mankind we've ever had at $1.7-ish trillion. You guys know Tom's got a bunch of different things to talk about with that, so that'll be one of the top stories. That we'll talk about.
Number two, there's a book that's coming out, which is called Regime Change, and it has nothing to do with Iran. It's a book about regime change where they're highlighting what happened inside the White House. And the two authors that wrote this book, one of them is from New York Times. I think it's Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. These are not lightweight people that wrote this book.
And a lot of credibility of how the whole thing happened with Epstein. Everybody is talking about this story. The book is coming out June 23rd. I don't know what day it is, but I can tell you one thing for a fact.

Chapter 3: How do employees benefit from the SpaceX IPO?
If you're going to promote a book, the way to promote a book is for it to come out on Tom's birthday. There's no better date to come out with a book than Tom's birthday. I think that's the date. So we have to talk about it because some of the stuff, Bongino's in it. You know, Susie Wiles has a conversation with Bongino saying, you're leaking information. And Bongino's like, hell to the no.
I'll give you $100,000 right now. Go to the reporter. I'm going to quit. And he leaves. It's a lot of great stories of what happened here and how the Epstein Files was a shit show from the beginning when we talked about the biggest flop and the way Pam Bondi handled it was not a good thing. You'll see what some of the conversations are in that book.
And then we'll talk about Austin Metcalf and Carmelo Anthony. Austin Metcalf's father came out. He said a lot of different things. So did Jasmine Crockett. And so did a lot of other people. And there's a few different things that are just people are getting involved in this. It's a lot of discussion, Vinny. I know you got a lot of thoughts on this. We go into that as well. And then we have TPUSA.
Something happened that you guys were showing me this morning. A summit that is called the Her Summit? Yes. What does Her stand for? Honesty, empowerment, and resilience or something like that. Okay, so at that summit where she's giving a speech and they added a video that allegedly says, Charlie Kirk says, if I'm not here, I want her to run it.
The promo for it and before the event, it's Charlie going, if anything happens to me, my wife could take over, which was AI. They put it in there, and it's AI. And we know for a fact it's AI. It's definitely AI. They admitted it on the Charlie Kirk show. Who's they? Andrew Colvett and Blake Neff. From TPUSA. From TPUSA were like, we're just trolling the trolls. Okay. Yeah.
So we'll definitely talk about that. We'll definitely talk about that and get into it. And then you got the Iran... the president saying we're taking over Carrick Island. They hit it left and right. We shot down two drones. There's a bunch of stuff going on. And, hey, we're going to do a deal. No, we're not going to do a deal. Same thing's still going on, but hopefully that gets done here soon.
Aside from that, we've got two other stories. Karen Bass's brother. was not happy with what happened with the fires in LA. So he decided to sue the city that his sister is running. Is that correct? Is that really a true story? Absolutely true story. This is not a step. This is a real... This is her brother. This is her brother. This is her brother.
And then we have Plattner, whose story came out about what he did. The reason why he got the Nazi tattoo was why, Tom, you were saying that... He said he had an extramarital affair and she was saying that he used to say about the tattoo. Check out my tattoo says the U.S. is evil. And so it's like he was proud of it, that he got it and he was displaying this.
So all the covering up of the tattoo, not the cover up, but all the ink that he put on it to make it a black blob. Apparently, he really felt this way in his heart and he was saying this to his mistress. That's how he put it on his heart. Hunter Biden tweeted about this, and he says, you tell me what's in your computer.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the upcoming book 'Regime Change'?
What other recourses does he have at this point? He might be the president or the vice president of the United States. He says, I prefer to be a vice president. I've been sober for a while, looking for a job. And then, by the way, yesterday, Mexico played against South Africa. I don't know if you saw this or not. Oh, yeah. It was a feel-good story at the end because Mexico won 2-0.
There was three red cards given. Yeah. Did you see that? Yeah, but did you see that? The most amazing part is one of the Mexican players made a mistake, and they gave him a green card, and the game was in Mexico, and he ran across the board, and he's working at Home Depot right now. And is it true, like, every time you score a goal, they give you a green card?
They give you a green card to come here and actually work. That is true. Yeah. Vinny. I'm just... She can go to Home Depot and hang out. Green card, and he ran off the field. So they were playing with nine people. Viva Mexico. He's now hanging drywall in San Bernardino. We're watching everybody recognizing Mexico. Listen, if U.S. is not playing, you have to root for Mexico. Right?
You almost have to root for Mexico. You have to. Yeah. So anyways, we got all those stories to talk about. Aside from that, folks. We announced something on Monday for Father's Day that's around the corner. And let me tell you, originally we were only doing 200 boxes. We did 500 boxes. Pete just sent me a text right now telling me they have sold 403 with 97 left.
And the hottest shirt out of all of them that's selling, I want you to see which shirt this is. So if you love your father or your grandfather, ladies, gents, Take a moment and do this and spend something. They say we spend $230 every Father's Day, and our fathers a lot more for mothers, but we spend $230. Watch this video. You may be inspired to get something for your father or your grandfather.
Go ahead. I don't know if you know or not, but every year we spend $10 billion more on Mother's Day than Father's Day. We don't get things for fathers. We forget about it. It's just the father. This year, we're doing something special. We got a box for all great fathers in the world that says, The Future Looks Bright. And here it says, Father, Protector, Provider.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the SpaceX IPO discussed?
It's an MLM. Yeah, it was a network marketing, multilevel marketing insurance agency that we sold for a quarter billion dollars. They want to turn everything that you do into a negative. And then my whole thing is like, do I think that PBD is a net positive to society? Yeah. Why do you think I want to be with him year in and year out?
Do I think Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA are a complete net positive to society? Yes, of course. The problem that I have is very specific. There's the people that want to take the mistakes that they've done. and make them the bad guy. That's the problem I have. I couldn't hear you, Pat. How do you? I can't hear you at all. Let me check. Oh, there you go. There you go. You're good.
And I think a part of it is also, you know, the exaggeration of a problem.
Chapter 6: How do the hosts evaluate the impact of Epstein revelations?
The exaggeration of a problem that you do. You take a molehill and you turn it into a mountain, right? And in this case, guess what? Score a double-dumb? If my new outfit was here and the judge and the hero to zero, is this a zero mistake? Is this a zero category? Yes. Don't do this. Don't do this. Find a way to increase, but we'll move on.
The market will move on, and we'll get to the next story. All right, so Brooklyn left. She just wanted to be here for two minutes. But that was a nice little heart-cratcher. They're at the office every day, so we don't mind it. All right, let's go to the next story. Next story, inside the White House, freak out over Epstein files.
This story dropped, a book that's coming out, Humberto, can you verify the exact date this book is coming out? I think the book is coming out June 23rd. It's called The Regime Change, and this book will be a massive book that everybody will be reading because it called out everybody in the White House with things that are going on with the Epstein file.
Chapter 7: What are the key points regarding Karmelo Anthony's fallout?
So let me read some of the story for you guys on what's in here. And then Tom, I'm going to come to you because I know you've gone through the first five chapters. Inside the White House freakout over Epstein files. This is by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. So let me read some of this stuff to you if you want to go to the article. So let me read some of this stuff to you.
So we go through a couple things here. Number one, they needed a gesture of transparency to appease an increasingly angry base, but also a way to convey the message that the president was sympathetic to supporters' concerns. Now, keep in mind, this is not a Trump supporter. This is still New York Times. Never forget that. So let me go through it. J.D.
Vance took a seat at the head of the table in the John F. Kennedy conference room, in the Situation Room complex, and said, this is a huge problem. He told the group arrayed around him were the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. Then you have White House Counsel David Warrington, Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt.
Then you had a few other people that are there, and they're having this conversation. And the Deputy Chief of Staff, James Blair. Then you have Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Speaker of the House.
Chapter 8: How does the discussion wrap up with sports commentary?
Now, Tom, do they share with everybody who the whistleblower is in this article? No, the articles become this giant book and they don't share exactly where they get the data from. But when you look at this and I'm not the only one, the people that have read what I'm estimating at about five chapters of excerpts because the book doesn't come out to June 23rd, as you pointed out.
What you see here is a very well-written and very well-presented synopsis of what went on. They have got multiple sources. That's my feeling here. And the multiple sources appear to be rationally presenting things. And they're also showing you backstory on things that there are other events that they connected to. It's like Bongino left the... the building on this day and went here and here.
And they're like, wait a minute. We talked to him here. Then we talked to him there. Those dots connect. So zero to 10, what do you score the credibility of the facts of this book? Right now on its face, about an eight. And I don't see any counter articles coming out. Oh, you're full of crap. Here's the seven ways you're full of crap. It's early time. It's still early.
So maybe we get it between now and Monday. Yeah. You don't think there'd be somebody overnight that would get after this? I think so, but still, it's a little early. You know, sometimes people are reacting. So we'll see what will happen today. So let me read through some of this stuff, folks. And then, Tom, I'm going to come to you first because I know you've gone through the whole thing.
So Vance had bought into the darkest theory about Epstein and a cabal of predators hidden within the country's ruling class. had proved himself to be a major conspiracy theorist, okay? That's the story. An advance floated to colleagues an extraordinary PR gambit. The White House should enlist Tucker Carlson to interview Epstein's longtime girlfriend and co-conspirator, Jelaine Maxwell, in prison.
Better to rip off the bandage instead of moving on. Let me continue reading on what happens here. Then it goes into what they were thinking about doing next. Maxwell could be given a pardon, he said, or she could have her sentence reduced. This is Warrington, the White House counsel, responded by laying out the available choices without advocating any of them.
Several around the table spoke up to register their strong disapproval. Pardoning Maxwell, a trafficker of young girls, would create a huge PR problem Stephen Chunk said he predicted that in the wake of the pardon, Epstein accusers would be fanning out of a TV telling their stories and ripping the administration to shreds. Blair also adamantly opposed the pardon.
We can't offer Jelaine Maxwell anything. A, I don't know why we would, and B, if we give Jelaine Maxwell any sort of break whatsoever and then she turns around and says nice things about us or says nice things about us and give her a break, it will undermine the entire point of her saying good things. That will feed the conspiracy theory, period.
If there's nothing for her to say that hurts us, we shouldn't have to offer her anything. It continues. Shortly after this, the president posted again he was going along with the plan. Situation room, he didn't like having to do it. Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I've asked Attorney General Pam Bondi.
