>> HELLO.
>>
[SCREAMING]
OH, MY GOD!
CAN’T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM.
>> THIS IS A GODSEND.
THIS IS A REALLY A GODSEND.
I CAN’T WAIT TO TELL MY
EMPLOYEES THEY STILL HAVE A JOB
FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE MONTHS
AT LEAST.
>> BEEN IN BUSINESS SO MANY
YEARS.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> I HAVE SO MANY EMPLOYEES I
HAD TO LET GO.
>> OH.
>> IT IS SO FANTASTIC.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> I KNOW.
>> DON’T CRY.
STUART: JUST LOVE THAT STUFF.
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS GETTING A
LEASE ON LIFE AFTER A
LIFE-CHANGING CALL FROM BARSTOOL
SPORTS FOUNDER DAVE PORTNOY WHO
JOINS US NOW.
DAVE, CONGRATULATIONS, I THINK
YOU’RE DOING FANTASTIC WORK
THERE, HELPING PEOPLE DIRECTLY.
LAST TIME YOU WERE ON THE SHOW
YOU GOT THREE MILLION IN YOUR
FUND.
NOW IT IS OVER 18 MILLION.
HOW MUCH HAVE YOU GOT THERE NOW
AND WHO IS CONTRIBUTING THE
MONEY.
>> WE’RE CLOSING IN ON
19 MILLION.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME
CELEBRITIES.
KID ROCK REACHED OUT UNSEW LIST
AT THIS TIMED.
GUY FIERI HAS BEEN A BIG HELP.
TOM BRADY.
DANA WHITE DONATED A 100 GRAND.
WE HAD A LOT OF BIG CELEBRITIES.
WE HAVE OVER 160,000 INDIVIDUALS
THIS EVERY DAY PEOPLE.
THE PEOPLE LIKE BARSTOOL.
THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING
ON.
THAT MAY BE THE BEST PART ABOUT
IT.
STUART: HOW DO YOU SELECT THE
BUSINESS TO HELP?
>> WE SOLICIT EMAILS, SEND US
VIDEO, A STORY.
TWO REQUIREMENTS BASICALLY WE
LOOK FOR.
A, YOU WERE A SUCCESSFUL
BUSINESS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND
B, YOU ARE STILL PAYING YOUR
EMPLOYEES AS BEST YOU CAN.
WE’RE HELPING NOT ONLY THE
BUSINESS OWNER BUT THE ACTUAL
EMPLOYEES AS WELL.
STUART: YOU’RE CALLING OUT CNN
BECAUSE THEY PROMOTED BEYONCE’S
EFFORTS TO HELP BUSINESSES BUT
LEFT YOU COMPLETELY OUT OF IT.
STAYED SILENT ABOUT YOU
COMPLETELY.
HAVE AT IT.
>> YEAH, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH
THEM TALKING ABOUT BEYONCE.
ANY CHARITY IS GOOD.
SHE DONATED HALF A MILLION
DOLLARS TO HELPING PEOPLE
GETTING KICKED OUT OF THEIR
HOUSES BECAUSE OF COVID WHICH IS
GREAT.
WE’RE CLOSING IN ON 20 MILLION.
WE HELPED 80 BUSINESSES.
I DON’T CARE IF YOU’RE
POLITICAL, NOT POLITICAL, I WILL
BEAT THE DRUM ON ANY NETWORK
ANYWHERE, MORE PUBLICITY WE GET,
MORE DONATIONS, MORE BUSINESSES
WE CAN HELP.
I DON’T KNOW WHY CNN WOULD NOT
MENTION IT TO HELP PEOPLE, HELP
SMALL BUSINESSES.
THAT WAS I MAKING FUN OF OR
TRYING TO PROD OF.
I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST BEYONCE.
SHE IS A FAMOUS.
SHE IS DOING GOOD WORK THIS IS
SOMETHING GOOD.
THAT WOULD HELP EVERYBODY.
WE WERE ON "THE TODAY SHOW."
THAT WAS GREAT THIS MORNING.
STUART: YOU WILL GET A LOT MORE
PEOPLE TO HELP.
THESE LOCKDOWNS, THEY’RE STILL
WITH US.
BUSINESSES ARE BEING SHUT DOWN
ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THERE IS NO LET-UP FOR THESE
GUYS.
>> LISTEN, SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF
MONEY WHAT WE’VE RAISED.
I KEEP SAYING IT.
NO AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL EVER BE
ENOUGH.
THIS IS A GOVERNMENT ISSUE WITH
THE MONEY INVOLVED BUT THEY’RE
NOT GETTING INVOLVED.
WE’LL NEVER HELP ALL THE
BUSINESSES.
WE HAVE 10,000 EMAILS COMING IN.
WE’LL NEVER REACH THAT.
WE HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING, KEEP
DONATING.
I’M SHAKING MY FRIENDS DOWN ON
TWITTER WHO ARE RICH SHAMING
THEM.
I SENT A TWEET TO A-ROD.
WHERE ARE YOU A-ROD?
I’M GUILTING PEOPLE.
MORE MONEY WE GET, MORE PEOPLE
WE CAN HELP.
WE NEVER HAVE ENOUGH.
STUART: COMING BACK FOR A TOWN
HALL ON FOX BUSINESS TO TALK
ABOUT ALL THE BUSINESSES YOU
SAVED?
MAYBE SURPRISE A FEW PEOPLE LIVE
DURING THE SPECIAL AND JUST TELL
THEM, HEY, WE RESCUED YOU, YOU
WANT TO DO IT.
>> I’M DOWN FOR THAT.
ANY PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY.
STUART: OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU AIMING FOR?
YOU GOT 18, 19 MILLION NOW.
YOU’RE GOING AS MUCH AS YOU CAN
GET, RIGHT?
>> I’M AIMING FOR THE MOON OR
INFINITY.
IF WE GET 200, WHAT WE NEED REAL
RICH PEOPLE, BILLIONAIRES, ELON
MUSK, I’M TWEETING HIM.
PEOPLE CAN MAKE REAL, REAL
SIGNIFICANT DONATIONS.
I WILL START OUT TO SHAKE THEM
DOWN.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PHONE NUMBERS
FOR ME?
STUART: SHAKE DOWN.
PLEASE DON’T USE THAT EXPRESSION
ON THIS SHOW.
WE --
>> WE HAVE TO SHAKE THEM DOWN,
STUART.
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO DO IT.
THEY DON’T DONATE UNTIL I GET
THEM AROUND THE THROAT.
STUART: THE DEMOCRATS WILL DO
THAT, SHAKE DOWN THE RICH.
>> I DON’T CARE WHERE IT COMES
FROM.
GIVE ME THE MONEY SO I CAN GIVE
IT OUT.
STUART: ALL RIGHT, INVITATION
STANDS.
COME ON THE SHOW.
COME TO A TOWN HALL.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU.
HEY, PORTNOY, I THINK YOU’RE
DOING GREAT WORK.
I REALLY MEAN THAT.
YOU’RE A GOOD MAN.
>> THANK YOU, STUART.
STUART: I DON’T CARE WHAT THEY
SAY.
>> TAXI DRIVER, DON’T FORGET
THAT ONE.
STUART: YOU NEVER LET ME FOR GET
THAT ONE.
