Chapter 1: What happened during President Trump's heated 100 Day ABC interview?
Every order you place, they're going to get a VT Mom keychain. And then if you place an order above $100, it's the VT Mom keychain. Plus... This mug that says VT Mom, and it explains a sophisticated achiever that is always there for you no matter what. Moms, love you. Place an order for the mothers out there that watch PBD Podcasts and Valuetainment. Having said that, let's get right into it.
Here's an interview President Trump does yesterday with ABC. Rob, pull up a few of the clips if you can, and we'll go one by one by one. This fellow, I've not seen him. Maybe he's somebody that's done this before. I'm sure he is because he is representing ABC. The president agreed to do the interview with them, ABC. This is the only interview that was done on the 100 days.
So President Trump has a lot of options. Trust me, a lot of people are asking him to do it. He agreed to do it with ABC. And here's what ended up happening. I want to show you a couple of the clips. Here's the first clip. Rob, is this the clip about the fact that the referrals, you know, did you know that there's any referrals? How do you know? Is this that one? Yep.
Let's start off with that one here. Watch this here, folks. Go ahead, Rob.
Fraud is a crime. There have been no referrals to the Justice Department at any. Well, you don't know that, do you? How do you know that? Have there been referrals?
Are there criminal referrals? How would you know that?
That there were no referrals? I think there were referrals. There's been no investigation from the Justice Department.
How do you know that?
I'm asking you, sir. No, you're not asking me.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the U.S.-Ukraine mineral deal signed by Trump and Zelensky?
Yeah, I like this deal. I like that this is taking place. And, you know, as this goes, what is this, Rob? You just got here. Just landed in Rome. A good day in talks with meetings with Russia and Ukraine. They are very close to a deal. And two sides should now meet at very high levels to finish it off. Most of major... Most of the major points are agreed upon. Stop the bloodshed now.
We will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate the end to this cruel and senseless war. That's leadership. We will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate. Help. Facilitate. Help facilitate the end to this cruel and senseless war. And by the way, you know what's one of the things he kept saying in the ABC interview? He says, you know, this isn't my war. That's Biden's war. Mm-hmm.
This isn't my war. This is Biden's war. This isn't my war. This is Biden's war. He kept saying it. I'm trying to stop Biden's war that he started. It's such a great point. Rob, did he literally just put that up?
No, that was Friday of last week when he landed in Rome, but it was in reference to what Adam had said, the stop Putin. I love that.
Bold prediction real quick. If he stops this war, I mean, sooner rather than later. Despite what the left-leaning media and infrastructure of the world would want to see, I think Trump will win a Nobel Peace Prize. Nobody on that side wants to see it.
You've said this for a minute. You stop this war.
He should be definitely qualified. I think Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize... For nothing. When his first year, for what? Nothing. Zero. Giving a speech at the Berlin Wall. Yeah, so it's all playing politics. Trump is actually in the game, hopefully changing some stuff.
Pat, I got you a question. When he... Trump grabs Zelensky, and Macron's trying to leech on, and he tells him to back up, and he wants to talk to him. What would you think that he's telling him to make this happen? What promises, what type of dialogue do you think happened in that moment?
I think it's every emotion you need. And let me tell you what that emotion is. Rob, is this it, Rob? Play the clip. Play the clip. I'll tell you, every emotion you need is used in here. This is a pro here. You're not talking to a regular. Look at Macron. Okay, get out of here. We don't need you.

Chapter 3: How are Trump's tariffs affecting U.S. businesses like Ford and Adidas?
And then I'd be like, well, I didn't fully understand, like, why they just wouldn't move down here. And then it took a worldwide pandemic for people to be like, what the hell am I doing? In New York. And I've seen what's happened over the last five years, not even just from New York, from all over the country. People are basically saying, I'm coming down.
Now, you can give a shout out to Mayor Francis Suarez down in Miami. You can give a shout out to Governor Ron DeSantis. You know, you give DeSantis shout outs all the time. Always. Love him. Try to get in boots. You know, if you can work from anywhere, why wouldn't you want to be in Miami, South Florida, Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago, everything.
Tom, your thoughts on the story. Your thoughts on this.
Guess what? Bad policies have consequences. And New York's bad policies, even people that do not want to move from the New York area, they move to Westchester. They move to Long Island. So they're outside of New York City. The issue here is New York City. It's not New Yorkers. It's not people in the Northeast. It's not businesses in the Northeast. It's NYC, New York City's management.
And this is what they get. All of these folks have left, whether they left locally, 138,000 going to Long Island. We know a few people out there. And then 60,000 going to Westchester County, which is up Pound Ridge area, Armonk, bordering Connecticut. And or you had the 50,000 people with 190 and 266 average salaries. It's bad policies in New York. Move them all down here. And you know what?
Whoever is the next mayor is going to be looking for EBT cards to give city employees because this is deadly on the city budget. New York City is about to become a welfare recipient of New York State and the federal government worse than it has been. Mark my words. And I don't mean that to sound harsh, Pat, but New York City is about to turn itself into
into a welfare queen looking for money from other people because bad policies have consequences, and whether it's local or Florida, its own residents are leaving.
Who are they talking about running for governor? Robin New York. Was it Stefanik or was it Zeldin? Yes, Elise Stefanik. Stefanik. And she didn't want to – she was kind of like –
I don't want to talk about that type of situation. I want to get your perspective.

Chapter 4: Why is UPS cutting 20,000 jobs and how is Amazon involved?
News out of the state capitol. Governor Gavin Newsom is getting involved in the latest fight over child sex trafficking. Thanks for joining us at 4. I'm Lisa Gonzalez.
And I'm Curtis Mayer. The governor's office is speaking up after lawmakers today blocked an effort to crack down on the buyers of the child sex trafficking industry, specifically those who buy 16 and 17-year-olds for sex. Let's get to KCRA 3 Capitol correspondent Ashley Zavala, who was first to report the governor's involvement.
Curtis, this is now the third time the governor's office has gotten involved in this kind of fight between Democrats over this issue. The governor signaling his support for that proposal to make it an automatic felony to purchase a 16 year old or 17 year old for sex. In a statement exclusively to us this afternoon, really just within the last hour, the governor's office said, quote,
the law should treat all sex predators who solicit minors the same as a felony, regardless of the intended victim's age, full stop. This comes after the Assembly Public Safety Committee this morning blocked this proposal from moving forward that targets the buyers of the child sex trafficking industry. It's written by Assemblymember...
This is not a joke.
A Democrat who has spent the last two decades working on this issue. Now, before getting elected to the Assembly, she was a prosecutor for the California Department of Justice. But Democratic leaders say they have concerns about possible unintended consequences with this, how the automatic felony for the purchase of the teens could impact the LGBTQ community, people of color, and older teens.
Here's what the chairman of the committee, Assemblyman Nick Schultz and Krell, had to say right after the hearing. are forced to stand. People keep asking that. Why can't Democrats immediately get on board with something like this?
Yeah, so I would emphasize two things. First of all, the exploitation of any children, as we heard in there in the comments I made in the dais, it's already unlawful to do anything like that in the state of California.
What we're talking about is a very specific, narrow issue of whether or not the stiff penalties that apply in, say, a human trafficking context should apply in a non-human trafficking context involving a 16- or 17-year-old. As you know, under Senate Bill 1414, which passed last year, that's a mandatory sex offender registration.

Chapter 5: What is causing wealthy New Yorkers to move to Florida and how does it affect NYC's economy?
Can you zoom in on his fingernails real quick? Are you able to do that? Yeah. Can you go a little bit more? Go zoom in a little bit more. They're very polished.
His fingernails?
They're very polished. By the way, those eyebrows were done by, I want to say... No, those are legit. Zoom out a little bit.
Those are legit. Is he throwing up a Wu-Tang sign? No, no.
I mean, he is straight up. Good looking guy. But go out. I want to hear this. So what's it say? So Assemblyman Gonzalez is concerned that anti-trafficking bill overlooks the LGBTQ community. Again, I mean, when you say stuff like this, you know what you tell me? If you want us to baptize your kids... in the eyes of LGBTQ community, bring them to California. It's very simple.
That's all I see it as. If you want your kids to be overly exposed to certain things prior to them being at the proper age, bring them to California. And by the way, for some of you guys that are watching this, if you're all for it, move to California. It's a beautiful state if you want your kids to not be protected from dumb policies like this. Let me read you what RFK is saying here. RFK Jr.
accuses Biden-era HHS of role in child trafficking, says Trump's team now locating 300,000 missing minors. What? Rob, if you can play this clip, you know, this is a major accusation being made, but here's Bobby Kennedy. Go for it.
Ended HHS as the role as the principal vector in this country for child trafficking. And during the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking and for sex and for slavery. And we have ended that and we're very aggressively going out and trying to find these children, the 300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration.
And I'm so happy because I don't think we planned that, that you showed that California lawmakers are out there trying to make it less of a crime, a lesser crime for trafficking 16-year-old children. And I hope everybody understands what happened. This was at the cabinet meeting. And this is the new head of HHS, Robert Kennedy Jr., that's saying, whoa, this is blaming. This is putting blame on.

Chapter 6: What political dynamics are involved with New York and California leadership changes?
2004?
Superstar who doesn't like to talk to only to organized people he likes to talk to. So Pierre Poliev is projected to lose his Carrollton seat since he's held since 2004 to liberal Bruce Fanjoy with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reporting Fanjoy's win by about 3,800 votes. So this guy was supposed to be a prime minister.
Not only does he lose, he's ahead 94 to whatever, and he loses PM and he loses the parliament seat, okay? Fanjoy wrote on X, we have to look out for ourselves and we have to take care of each other. Let's get to work. The race delayed by 91 candidates saw Fanjoy gain over 50% support.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is liberal, likely secure to minor government, though uncounted special ballots leave the mandate unclear. Carney criticized U.S. tariffs, saying we are over the shock of American betrayal and President Trump is trying to break us to America, can own us. That will never, ever happen. His campaign emphasized economic stability, unlike Olivier's.
Trump-aligned policies, not necessarily. Polyev once leading by 25 points in 2024 per Politico. Lost ground after Trump's tariffs on 51st state. Remarks shifted. The election focused. Tom, thoughts?
I said it on a previous podcast, and I will say it again. This guy is not a loser. He's their king. It was amazing what he did. All he had to do when Trump said, you know, Governor Trudeau came down to visit me. He said Governor Trudeau. He didn't say Governor Polivet. He said Governor Trudeau. And then he said 51st State. To me, I would have walked through that open door and saying Canada.
Do you want Trudeau's Canada? Because Trudeau's Canada is a wimpy little Canada that should be the 51st state. But I'm here to tell you that I am with sovereign Canada, and I am with the Canada of tomorrow. And the Canada of tomorrow is the United States' best partner, and the United States is our best partner. That's the Canada tomorrow. Do we want to go there? Is this where we want to go?
Do we want to affect the taxation that's here? Do we want to embrace the spirit of the truckers that Trudeau froze their bank accounts and stopped them on the road? Do we want that spirit? I am with Trump because we will be his best partner. He will be our best partner. And he's talking about Trudeau, and he's talking about failed policies.
That's who he's talking about when he calls him Governor Trudeau. But we are sovereign Canada, and I want to take Canada to tomorrow. That is a leader and a vision statement. That's all he had to do.

Chapter 7: What controversial welfare fraud legislation is being proposed in California?
Part of that's going to be red, white and blue because part of that is now going to go to the USA because one third of TSMC supposedly is going to be built in the USA. But that's the risk of China taking that market share on chips and holding the world there. And what we've done here is
is they already had a grant, and they already had an economic incentive, but now they're talking about a third chip plant in Arizona. So not only have we got a couple, just in the last two days, look at the win on India, look at the win that's happening here, and this announcement here, this is long-term U.S. jobs, and this is de-risking China. And so you said it on the last podcast, hey, folks,
It would only take 30 days and a set of announcements to suddenly win, win, win, win, win, and the whole grade is an A+. And you know what? I feel it coming. I feel it coming.
Yeah, for sure.
This is so critical. This is a three-sided win here. It's a win for workers in Arizona. It's a win to help get ahead of China and market share and move a bunch of chips over to the U.S. We will have more chip manufacturing opportunities. five years from now here than South Korea does. So that protects our destiny because technology is a destiny, and the destiny of technology is chips.
And so this is great on that second line. And then the third line is it takes away some of the threat of the sudden disruption if China makes a move on Taiwan.
Pat, can we think as the enemy? You're China. We're starting to punch them multiple times. We're getting them up against the ropes. If you were China, Pat, how would you respond? What is going to be your move?
Oh, thank you. What a great opening. And here's what that is. At what point, you brought this up yesterday, so I want to give you credit. At what point does one not sit there and speculate the fact that these guys are going to be working and dealing with you in a straight-up way, in an honest way? Okay, so if you think that is not on the table, what do you have to be ready for?
Anything and everything. How dirty can China go?
