• 0:17Patrick Bet-David?

  My handshake is better than anything I ever signs, right here.

• 0:22Patrick Bet-David?

  You are a 1 of 1? My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:30Speaker 01

  The real question.

• 0:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Where do you get it from?

• 0:31Speaker 01

  Where do you get it?

• 0:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Forty million?

• 0:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, how many?

• 0:32Patrick Bet-David?

  You tell me, I mean forty million hidden in your...

• 0:34Speaker 01

  How do you get any bars?

• 0:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Of gold.

• 0:36Speaker 01

  Gold bars?

• 0:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Three hundred and three of those bars, plus thirty-five Rolexes, plus two million dollars in cash, plus allegedly, he said he went to Clemson University, and he went to a polytech school. All lies.

• 0:47Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 0:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Every one of them lies. And he's a senior CIA officer.

• 0:52Speaker 01

  Weird.

• 0:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Just so you know that. Anyways, we're talking here while Tom had to run to the restroom two or three times and Adam's doing his bubbles.

• 0:58Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 0:58Patrick Bet-David?

  It's great to be with you guys on Friday. He's filling up his gas tank with his coffee. We got a lot of weird stories today to go through with you. Number one, Michael Jackson biopic. It's a story I want to cover because I'm going to share with you a part of Michael Jackson's story I guarantee you don't know about, which is cra- maybe one of the craziest stories I read about yesterday, but the biopic officially hit seven hundred million dollars, the second most successful one of all time. You know what number one is? Bohemian Rhapsody. There's some very interesting, inspiring stories and a couple crazy stories where there's the division. We'll talk about that. There's this US-Iran deal allegedly getting done, but it's not going to be done until the president signs it. But we're kind of like waiting and saying, "Show me the baby.

• 1:43Patrick Bet-David?

  What are we doing?" And then if we sign it without getting the uranium in Richmond, what are we doing signing it? What's the purpose of signing? It'd be a horrible thing if they do sign it without getting the uranium. And if we don't get that, I think it's going to be a loss of a situation of negotiation. I know Vinnie wants to talk about it for about an hour today. I said, "No, we're not going to do it." By the way, Connor had a great line this morning. For those of you... That like travel to space yesterday was a horrible day. But for those of you that like explosions, what a great day yesterday was for explosions. Maybe one of the greatest explosions of all time. The good news is nobody was hurt. Thank God. That's the good news. Bezos tweeted it and what I liked about it is Elon commented on it in a very positive way.

• 2:26Patrick Bet-David?

  He could have taken a shot at him, but I thought it was a beautiful moment of billionaires kind of talking to each other, flirting with each other. It was a good thing. This girl named E Jean Carroll. I love her. Who has a memory. He has this memory lady grandmother, whatever you want to say. This, this E Jean Carroll. Um, came out and she said she forgot who funded it. Oh, really? And, and you have the document to show it if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, a guy gave it to Ross. I don't know how you guys have that relationship, but it's, it's a unique relationship. You and Jean Carroll got it like that? Gavin Newsom, yesterday I'm in Dallas at an event. We're having a good time, hanging out, doing our thing. And then all of a sudden I see Newsom's saying that they're going to tax 100% of

• 3:07Patrick Bet-David?

  uh, the J six money that they may be getting, the people that may be getting. So we're going to tax, if you're in California, we're going to tax it 100%. And then Tom and I are in the car together and we look up a supremacy clause, Tom. You brought up supremacy clause. So I sent a tweet at him and then they responded back. And it was not a good situation. We just went back and forth a couple of times. Maybe we'll share that because he wants to tax all the J sixers and he did a podcast with Professor Galloway yesterday. He wants to take the wealth tax national, baby. You know what that means? Oh. It's his way of saying, if you vote for me, I'm going to tax all the billionaires nationwide. What a weird campaign, but that is what he is saying. And then we'll talk about the $40 million in gold. Wes Moore.

• 3:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Come on, Wes. I'm trying to get you to see if you can get some of these independents. Wes yesterday or two days ago. Story comes out, he wants to ban Glocks. And you think that's going to work with getting independents? I mean, seriously? Do you really think that's a strategy where independents are going to be like, oh, wow, great idea. Let me go and get my Glock banned in Maryland while it has a negative net migration. You have a negative net migration back to back to back. Why bank locks? Why do this before election time? I don't know what it is. We'll talk about it. Iran allegedly the internet blackout is done. Rob, I think it's 88 days. What was the number or something like that? Uh, not, not 88 days.

• 4:33Patrick Bet-David?

  It's 85% back to uh, uh, normal for everybody that had internet in Iran. And the blackout was for quite some time, 58, it's something eight. I don't know how long the blackout was, but 85% of the country, I think the internet is back up now. And so we have some thoughts on that. Spencer Pratt against Karen Bass. You should see who's raised more money and you'll be surprised, but the polls are showing that it looks like LA is going to get what they want and not what they need today to kind of change it up. And that's going to be Karen Bass, but we'll see. One, one thing you know about this guy, Spencer Pratt, he ain't going away. Okay, he's campaigning to the very last minute and we wish him nothing but the best. And then we have Biden.

• 5:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Joe Biden comes out and she says she thought Joe was on drugs that day.

• 5:19Speaker 01

  Yep.

• 5:19Patrick Bet-David?

  That he was drugged up.

• 5:20Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 5:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, maybe sometimes she drugs him, but it's a different kind of drug like at seven o'clock at night.

• 5:24Speaker 01

  Yes, yes.

• 5:25Patrick Bet-David?

  And it's like, it's, it's a, it's a gravity type of a drug, right? You don't tell them though.

• 5:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, or the honey.

• 5:29Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't tell them, right?

• 5:30Speaker 01

  The honey girl.

• 5:30Adam Sosnick?

  She also thought he was having a stroke during the debate.

• 5:34Patrick Bet-David?

  But then do you remember what she said to him afterwards?

• 5:36Adam Sosnick?

  Honey, you did great. You answered all the questions.

• 5:41Speaker 01

  And what did Trump do?

• 5:42Patrick Bet-David?

  So we'll talk about it.

• 5:44Tom Ellsworth?

  I don't think, you don't think it's coincidental that she and Hunter are both out on apology tours. It's maybe coincidental, you don't think so?

• 5:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, no, but Hunter wanted to make sure you knew the cocaine wasn't his. That's what he wanted to make sure you knew, because he does crack, he doesn't have cocaine.

• 5:56Tom Ellsworth?

  We'll talk about James and.

• 5:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Peter Thiel, you guys know Peter Thiel, like the, the guy with the Roth IRA guy, the billionaire.

• 6:01Speaker 01

  The Antichrist speech guy?

• 6:03Patrick Bet-David?

  He is, he is so brilliant, it's not even funny. He's amazing. Certain level, no, on a serious note, the guy is so brilliant that he scares the crap out of some people.

• 6:09Speaker 01

  Yes.

• 6:10Patrick Bet-David?

  And he all of a sudden announces he's moving to Argentina. Why would you move to Argentina? Do you like their steak? Do you think they're going to win the World Cup? Is it because you want to go hang out with Millet? Do they party better? Who knows? Nobody knows.

• 6:20Adam Sosnick?

  They do party pretty well.

• 6:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I've been, I've been over there. So, uh, uh, so he, he goes and buys the biggest possible house you can in Argentina. Wait till you see the price point. It's not one of these billionaire homes that Ken Griffin is building or the Larry Ellison house or these Sergey Brin 174 million dollar house. Wait till you see how much the most biggest house in Argentina is valued at. He's escaping here and he claims why he's got certain concerns. And then we got Vance is reconsidering running for office presidency in 2028. That's coming up, maybe, maybe not. And those two stories kind of go together. And then we'll have a couple of the stories. Hopefully we'll get into as well. With that being said, Rob, do you have the video ready?

• 7:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you why this is a special video. Folks, there's a big game coming up around the corner. I think nine of them are going to be in Dallas. We were at a hotel yesterday. Everything was about the, the, the world soccer tournament that's coming out. Everybody's going to be watching, you know, Neymar, Messi. Yesterday they announced Messi's going into a sixth World Cup. I don't know if you saw that. It's going to be crazy. It's going to be a big tournament that they're having. And so while you're going through that, depending on the countries you're from, we have some special gear that is limited. There's not a big supply of them. And we chose the countries based on who watches the content, the most. And it has the future looks bright with the country's flag. So having said that, watch this video and then I'll tell you what future looks bright gear we have here for you. Go ahead, Rob.

• 8:14Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, that's Iran with the old flag.

• 8:16Speaker 01

  Nice.

• 8:17Patrick Bet-David?

  The Shahid flag of Mohamed Reza Shah Talavi.

• 8:25Patrick Bet-David?

  France.

• 8:31Speaker 01

  Wee wee. Zidane.

• 8:35Patrick Bet-David?

  And then we got a few other ones.

• 8:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Who is this? This is Colombia.

• 8:42Speaker 01

  Colombia.

• 8:45Speaker 01

  Boom.

• 8:47Speaker 01

  Brasil.

• 8:50Patrick Bet-David?

  And Argentina.

• 8:51Speaker 01

  You know people are dancing at home right now. In the car.

• 8:55Patrick Bet-David?

  So remember, it's not a big supply. If you're watching this, you want to get the shirt combination. This is the US hat that we have with the US flag on the lid with the soccer ball inside of it. These things look absolutely insane. And by the way, we didn't get a big supply of them. Some of them, it's only 50, like the Iran one that we have with the Shah Jahan Shah flag on the bottom of it. It's only 50. So if some of you guys are going to the game and you kind of want to wear the hat. Cause they're saying you cannot wear the hat. Vinny, I don't know if I gave it to you or not.

• 9:25Speaker 01

  No, I don't have that.

• 9:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have the Iran hat?

• 9:26Speaker 01

  I think it's the one more green.

• 9:29Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know which one it is. One of these guys that we have here.

• 9:31Speaker 01

  Hold up.

• 9:31Patrick Bet-David?

  It looks ridiculous, the way, there you go. Look at this. On the bottom of the lid, right there. I love the fact that you have it.

• 9:38Speaker 01

  Good.

• 9:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Iran's, it's only 50 of them. So first come, first served. If somebody buys 50, it's literally going to say sold out. And then you have all the other countries and US. And then if you want to combine it with the shirts, Rob, if you want to go a little bit lower with the shirts. If you click on any one of those, it'll go to, click on the Argentina one, view all. Actually, no, click on the Argentina one if you can, Rob. Argentina to the right. Yeah, if you click on that, it's very obvious, Rob follows sports very closely. Go a little bit lower, there's shirts that come with it as well.

• 10:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, we didn't make it easy for you to find the shirts. Go all the way to the top, Rob. Valuetainment, go on the Valuetainment logo if you could. And then click on it right there. Right there, you have all of them together, shirts, hats, go a little bit lower. So buy the hats with the shirts combined, future looks bright. This is not going to last a long time. Represent your country while you're representing the future looks bright. With that being said, let's get right into it. First story I want to get into, we have a lot of them to get into. But the first story to get into, I know it's going to sound weird that we're getting into this. I just want to get into this one. It's the gold that was found by an ex senior CIA officer. Now keep in mind, how do you find $40 million of gold?

• 10:54Patrick Bet-David?

  303 bars of gold, I believe they're 2.2 pounds.

• 10:59Patrick Bet-David?

  35 Rolex's, okay, $2 million of cash. And this is not a regular CIA officer. This is a senior CIA officer that has to go through background check. Claimed he went to Clemson University. Clemson's like, we don't have this guy's name. Claimed he went to Politic University. They don't have his name. Claimed he was a Navy pilot. He was a Navy reservist, but he was never a pilot. All these claims, claim, claim. How does the CIA able to check? There was a girl in the story that says, "I was taking $75 from my dad and my mom that were helping me out. The CIA comes and tells me where's the $75 coming from. Says eventually I have to report the fact that it's coming from my mommy and my dad's bank account." They said, "Prove it." The girl had to show. So how is it that for $75 she got away,

• 11:44Patrick Bet-David?

  but the other guy, $40 million sitting? And he says, "I did it because I needed it for negotiation." And some things that I'm going with, right? And what's his name, Rod? David Roth?

• 11:53Speaker 01

  David Rush.

• 11:54Patrick Bet-David?

  David Rush, which is at least a good name. You gotta give credit. Strong name. So Vinny, does this story inspire you to want to be a CIA officer?

• 12:03Speaker 01

  Let me explain something to you. For a second, I was like, wait a minute. This guy has to be a cartel boss. This is Netflix. This is documentary. And I was like, yeah, that makes sense. But no, this is somebody tied to the intelligence community. 300, what'd you say? 303 gold bars? That's not normal corruption. That's James Bond villain corruption. And then you turn on CNN, and now former intel people are basically admitting that the system can fail. Polygraphs can fail. Liars can beat the system. Background checks fail. Oversight collapses. So what are Americans supposed to trust at this point? Pat, is it just me, guys? Or is it every single day? Another story with fraud, Minnesota, government, all these people getting arrested, insider influence, peddling, missing money.

• 12:48Speaker 01

  And it's like, what the hell is actually going on? And the worst part is regular people like us that pay our taxes, that follow the rules. You said the girl had a $75 thing? Do you remember, was it two years ago, Tommy? They were trying to do the, any Venmo payment over $600, you were gonna get audited by the IRS.

• 13:05Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, the banks already get a notice if you do like more than $10,000. Did you sell? A car that just saw artwork got to pick out a form and they wanted to go down to 600 for Venmo. They want to track everything being spent.

• 13:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, and then I know Doge had its moment for a little bit, but something has to be done. We're in debt and the debt clock keeps going. We have to stop.

• 13:23Patrick Bet-David?

  When was this guy hired? He was hired in 08, 09, Rob, right?

• 13:26Speaker 01

  I think so.

• 13:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Who was the director of CIA in 08, 09? Who was the director of CIA 08, 09? 2008 is what?

• 13:31Speaker 01

  It was before Pompeo.

• 13:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's see who it is. Director of CIA Hayden. Hayden and Leon Panetta. So can you type in who hired him? Who hired this guy?

• 13:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Hayden was W. Let's look it up. And I think Panetta became Obama.

• 13:47Patrick Bet-David?

  No, not who hired George Bush, Rob. Who hired, uh, you put who hired George Bush? We hired George Bush. Who hired the CIA guy?

• 13:53Speaker 01

  The people hired George Bush.

• 13:54Adam Sosnick?

  The terrorists.

• 13:55Patrick Bet-David?

  So CIA is not confirmed until 2008. Imagine like story comes out as like a girl who was having a relationship.

• 14:01Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, 09, if it's after February of 09, that's Obama's administration.

• 14:05Patrick Bet-David?

  After, after applying three separate times, you successfully passed the agency's hiring your background check process. Tom, how do you process this? It's not a big story. It is something that the audience needs to... You know what it gets me to go think about? Is the gold really at Fort Knox?

• 14:18Tom Ellsworth?

  That's a great question.

• 14:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Do we really have the gold, gold in Fort Knox? I know Elon said let's get in there like a year ago or something like that. I know the president said he wants to get in there. I know he talked about it, I think, three or four weeks ago. But why don't you get in there with the camera and then have people pick up the gold? Let's see what's going on. Where do you get this $40 million worth of gold? Tom, your thoughts on this story?

• 14:39Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, first of all, I agree with the point on Fort Knox and I'll underline it this way. This is not the Kennedy assassination in a secret file that we don't want everybody to see. This is not Martin Luther King. Did James Earl Ray really leave the gun there? This is not any of those conspiracy things. Area 51 and the alleged, you know, unbelievable, you know, quasi-aluminum metal that we found out there in the middle of the desert. Isn't any of that. Walk into what is supposed to be the repository of the nation's gold, open the central vaults and...

• 15:11Tom Ellsworth?

  Count it. Yeah. And lift it up and put it on a scale. Is this, I mean, what is this? To me, Pat, that's point two. Point one is, you know how many of these CIA guys are out there going rogue? I mean, you know, Hollywood picks up on it and does things. But I remember back when I had a publisher, I talked to two researchers that researched on the CIA, which also was called Company Men. And they were looking back at like Mitchner. There's a great author named Mitchner who wrote these spy novels. And they said, there is an unbelievable amount of correct framework that were in these novels of that's the way it works. And the stories of what's called Company Men, oh, that's, who do you work for?

• 15:52Tom Ellsworth?

  I work for the company. And internationally, that's slang for, oh, I'm a spook. Right. You know, and in the Clear and Pleasant Danger, you know, Harrison Ford takes out a business card and says, do you take a company check? And it said CIA. So that's Hollywood sensationalizing it. But the truth was, there has been money and gold that's been given by the CIA to foreign informants, to people all the time. Remember, you know what gold was, Vinnie? The original Bitcoin. Yeah. Untraceable currency. Melt it, make it into other, that's right. Melt it, make it into something else. No, now these are South America. Hard to travel with. It's hard to travel with.

• 16:31Speaker 01

  What if I'm a rapper, though? If I just put it on my neck.

• 16:33Tom Ellsworth?

  But Pat, once you, once you melt it and then turn it into, make it look like cougar ants from South Africa. You could do anything with the gold as long as you get it. I want to know if the gold support knocks, and it does not surprise me that a guy like this, coming from the land of spooks, that were doing this sort of thing over and over again, money going back and forth, arms going back and forth. What do we think the Iran-Contra arms scandal was about? You get the coke, I get, they get the guns, we get the money, these people get, everybody's happy. Now this guy shows up, he's been in the middle of this? I believe that he was in the middle of this, but what now, right?

• 17:10Adam Sosnick?

  I love this story, man. I gotta tell you. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of the movie Catch Me If You Can with Leonardo DiCaprio.

• 17:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Frank Abagnale?

• 17:18Adam Sosnick?

  Frank Abagnale. Yep, Abagnale.

• 17:21Speaker 01

  Abagnale.

• 17:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I said it correctly.

• 17:22Adam Sosnick?

  I love that movie. It's one of my favorite movies. You know, I don't watch movies, but Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, by the way, he was like a high school kid. That's why they couldn't track him. He was using names that he learned in a comic book. But every story here, this guy, how he acquired all this money and all these gold bars and these luxury watches. He faked his credentials, just like Catch Me If You Can. He lied about his military record. He has said that he attended elite pilot training programs. If you remember the movie Catch If You Can, he was basically a fake pilot. So what's my point with all this? Cause I know everybody wants to know what's my point? Let's use everything he learned on defrauding everything as a source for good to catch more criminals. Cause if you remember what Frank Abagnale ended up doing.

• 18:07Speaker 01

  Working for the.

• 18:08Adam Sosnick?

  He ended up working for, I believe, the FBI. So let's take this guy and give him a shout out. Rush, what's his name? David. David Rush. Let's make him the new Frank Abagnale. Clearly he's good at his job in defrauding people. He's looking to the side.

• 18:23Speaker 01

  He's looking at his gold that he's taking out of the room.

• 18:26Adam Sosnick?

  The last thing I'll tell you about this guy is I respect the fact that he saved that money. He didn't blow it on.

• 18:31Speaker 01

  No, but I don't think about that. This is one instance. Imagine all the other guys that are CIA that have all this money and they're using it for negotiation. That pisses me off.

• 18:41Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, the money, do you know how much we have at Fort Knox? Can you pull up how much do we have at Fort Knox, Rob?

• 18:47Speaker 01

  Gold or cash?

• 18:48Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, the actual gold that we have at Fort Knox, $692 billion of gold. If priced at $4,700. Okay, what does it say for you? No, no, no, you don't have the right number. Book value is not 6.22 billion, Rob. It's way more than 6.22 billion. No, that's cash. How much is the gold in Fort Knox? Well, there you go. 700 billion dollars. Yeah.

• 19:10Speaker 01

  All right.

• 19:11Patrick Bet-David?

  700 billion dollars is what they have. They booked it at that number in 73. So it's gone from 6.22 to 700 billion, but people just want to see it. Let's just open it up. Quick question.

• 19:21Adam Sosnick?

  That's the point, just open it up.

• 19:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Open up and see it.

• 19:23Adam Sosnick?

  What is the drama with Fort Knox? Why can't they open it?

• 19:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Because there is a lot, by the way, do you know how many people in the history of it have actually visited?

• 19:29Adam Sosnick?

  No, I don't know, I won't understand that.

• 19:31Patrick Bet-David?

  You really don't know this?

• 19:32Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, please.

• 19:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, pull up how many presidents have actually visited Fort Knox? One of them didn't even get to see it. They just visited the building. I think historically, I don't know if any president has been inside of Fort Knox. Okay, so the controversy is, why hasn't any president visited the Fort Knox? Visited Fort Knox and

• 19:50Adam Sosnick?

  Right.

• 19:51Patrick Bet-David?

  That's where a lot of people are wondering, yeah, FDR, what does it say? That's not the, visited and inspected the gold depository in 1943. And he visited a one and only time the gold vault. Truman visited it, but watch this. Official records are inclusive, inconclusive. Some historians, local accounts, mention a possible visit. While the US Mint had stated Roosevelt is the only president to have known that signed a depository visitor law. So presidents have never visited. Why not? People want to know, why not? Why are you not going there? What's the big deal? And here's a president when he was asked about it, three weeks ago. Go ahead, Rob.

• 20:26Speaker 04

  What happened to the audit of Fort Knox?

• 20:31Speaker 05

  Which one are you talking about?

• 20:32Speaker 04

  There was, I think when you first got into office, you and Elon Musk talked about auditing the gold to make sure it's there.

• 20:37Speaker 05

  Well, we wanted to go knock on the door, Fort Knox, very thick door. And to see whether or not we have any gold in there. Because, take a look at it, it's a very interesting question, yeah? We played with that. I wonder if they left the gold in Fort Knox, because they steal a lot.

• 20:52Patrick Bet-David?

  You kidding me?

• 20:53Speaker 04

  No need to really do that though.

• 20:55Patrick Bet-David?

  What is Truman known for? Dropping what?

• 20:58Adam Sosnick?

  Bomb?

• 20:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Truman is known for the nuclear bomb, right? Okay, what is FDR known for? You know, depression, you know, all the social security programs, all the entitlement programs. Yeah, the New Deal. And you mean to tell me since then, nobody has visited? Little weird, let's go to the next story.

• 21:15Adam Sosnick?

  He goes, let's see if any gold is even in there. What does that even mean?

• 21:18Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the conversation.

• 21:19Adam Sosnick?

  What?

• 21:19Patrick Bet-David?

  That's why people are saying what they're saying about this. Now, let's go to the next story. Yesterday, guys, I don't want to spend a lot of time on this. I'm just gonna go through it. So Iran-US deal, allegedly. They're waiting on Trump's signature and here's what's been agreed upon so far. Sixty day ceasefire, Hormuz reopening, it's in draft unrestricted vessel movement, must reopen fully, free transit, not the $2 million, US naval blockade on Iranian ports to be lifted, and a nuclear talks start. This is the draft to start. What has not been negotiated if they pursue with the 60 day is the sanction relief money, the 24 billion dollars or so,

• 21:59Patrick Bet-David?

  the Iran missile drone program, Lebanon Hezbollah linkage, and Abraham Accord linkage. So the enriched uranium is not part of this first 60 day ceasefire. I don't like this idea of doing this and signing this and they're waiting on the president to sign it while you don't have it. And the president said something very important yesterday when he was asked about it, he says, who should get that enriched uranium? Are you okay if China or Russia get it? Rob, do you have that clip? Yep. Go for it.

  No, I wouldn't be comfortable.

• 24:59Speaker 05

  That would not make me comfortable.

• 25:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so he said that. And then there's a bunch of other things that's going on with this year. All right, which one is this? Uh, this is where the president talks about reopening the Strait of Hormuz and who would control it? Go for it.

• 25:12Speaker 07

  Iran wants control of the Strait of Hormuz. Would you accept a short-term deal that allows Iran and Oman to control the Strait? And would they have to open it immediately? Or would you be open to that happening over a period of time?

• 25:23Speaker 05

  No, the Strait's gonna be open to everybody.

• 25:25Speaker 07

  And who would control it?

• 25:26Speaker 05

  It's international waters. Nobody's gonna control it. We're gonna watch over it. We'll watch over it, but nobody's gonna control it. That's part of the negotiation that we have. They would like to control it. Nobody's gonna control it. It's international waters and Oman will behave just like everybody else. So we'll have to blow them up. They understand that. They'll be fine.

• 25:46Adam Sosnick?

  Allies.

• 25:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the part where a lot of people are saying bombing US ally sparks confusion in the wild cabinet meeting. Tom, your thoughts on the story?

• 25:56Tom Ellsworth?

  I don't know what to say. There are only two ships made it in the last 24 hours. About 12 ships made it two days ago. It's still meager. People have got oil supplies in dwindling everywhere. Reserves are down even for the US. And so this needs to get done. But it just seems like we're almost there yet again. We're almost there yet again. That's what it feels like, Pat. And I want to give negotiators room to negotiate and go get it done. Oil's down $1.50 this morning, 87. So clearly, the markets feel we're close to something. Stock market is up another half a percent across the indexes today. Dow, S&P, Nasdaq, all about a half a percent up, Pat.

• 26:41Tom Ellsworth?

  So the markets clearly believe in perception that we're getting there. That we're getting close to something.

• 26:48Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, news just broke right now that US-Iran peace deal reportedly includes a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, per New York Times. Kalshi just tweeted this.

• 26:57Speaker 01

  Who's gonna pay for that?

• 26:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Exactly. The question. So $300 billion right there, Rob. Do you have it? $300 billion. Go to news. See if news pops up. Go to the news site.

• 27:08Tom Ellsworth?

  Hang on. Let's do a seance for the ghost of you-know-who and see if Halliburton gets the deal.

• 27:13Patrick Bet-David?

  There it is. The story of New York Times. So $300 billion. So, Vinny, where are you at with this?

• 27:18Speaker 01

  I'm just, Pat, I'm so over it. I don't even want to waste that much time. I'm just done. I'm done.

• 27:24Adam Sosnick?

  You're over it?

• 27:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, I'm just, every day. It's like, it's like a parent coming home, Pat, going, "Guys, we're gonna go to Disneyland." And they go, "Okay, not today. We're gonna go next week."

• 27:31Tom Ellsworth?

  If you clean your room. Oh, not cleaning up.

• 27:33Speaker 01

  And I'm like, "Bro, I don't, I don't even want to go at this point. I don't want to go to Disneyland."

• 27:35Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't think you're alone, by the way. I honestly don't think you're alone. I think a lot of people are where you are right now.

• 27:40Adam Sosnick?

  The reason you feel that way is because it's not affecting your life at all, other than a couple bucks in gas, which I appreciate.

• 27:45Speaker 01

  No, what do you mean it's not affecting me? I'm saying, every day, it's like, "We're gonna do this." Adam, you're like...

• 27:50Adam Sosnick?

  I'm not...

• 27:51Speaker 01

  It's not, it's not that, it's not, obviously, it's affecting everybody, but it's like...

• 27:55Tom Ellsworth?

  Friends and family, everybody.

• 27:56Adam Sosnick?

  Everywhere reaching out to me about the economy.

• 27:57Speaker 01

  You're negotiating with.

• 27:59Adam Sosnick?

  I've been very affected.

• 27:59Speaker 01

  You're negotiating.

• 28:00Adam Sosnick?

  I want to help.

• 28:00Speaker 01

  You're negotiating with people.

• 28:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, let's have, see what Adam wants to say.

• 28:03Adam Sosnick?

  No, go ahead, make my point.

• 28:04Speaker 01

  I know, and I'm making a point because you were wrong what you said. We're negotiating with a regime, Adam, that kills its own people, that says they want to kill us, and we're going back and forth. Do you think it's ever gonna be, like, you know, he made a great point on Monday. They're celebrating. You know what Iran is doing right now?

• 28:20Adam Sosnick?

  Weren't you the guy that said you didn't want to talk about this 10 seconds ago?

• 28:22Speaker 01

  No, but you, but I'm responding to your comment. I'm responding to your comment because you said, oh, I know it doesn't affect your life. What do you mean it doesn't affect my life? I'm just tired of hearing this yes or no. Just come to us with the news. Come with us when it's done. Because this whole, everybody's tired of it. Everybody's tired of it. It's not just me, trust me. There's a lot of people.

• 28:42Adam Sosnick?

  Well, you made your point. I'm proud of you, brother.

• 28:43Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 28:44Adam Sosnick?

  What I meant by it's not affecting your life is if you don't turn on the news, this doesn't affect your life. I was at Memorial Day last week. The city of Miami Beach put together this amazing event, which I think Valuetainment should consider doing a part of it. It was so incredible. They had the Blue Angels and the pilots and everything. And these planes, let me tell you something, are the loudest things you've ever seen in your life. You ever, I mean, we're right here. And I said to the guy, I go, thank God we're watching this with so much joy and patriotism and love for the country. Because these planes, you know, these things are flying overhead? They're actually used in other countries to drop bombs and scare the hell out of people. So when I said it's not affecting your life, I mean, thank God we have the luxury of living in America.

• 29:26Adam Sosnick?

  And the worst that we're dealing with right now are some extra couple bucks in gas prices, which I get it. But the fact that these planes are being used to basically, don't make us go back to epic fury. Right now, we're in economic fury. And ultimately, this comes down to three major points. And I think Newt Gingrich actually put together a little plan that Trump, he said, number one, number one, number one is no nuclear. Stop it, it's not happening. If that's not included in the deal, we're done here. Number two.

• 29:52Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm with that. Because if even the 60 days you sign without that.

• 29:57Adam Sosnick?

  There's no deal without the nuclear component.

• 29:59Patrick Bet-David?

  No, by the way, even, forget about all the, the argument where, you know, you're doing it for this, you're doing it for the Iranian people, you're the puppet, you're the this. If you do it in the original deal without the enriched uranium, you mean to tell me you trust that Iran in the next 60 days? You're giving them more time to do whatever they want? No, no, no, nothing happens without that being number one, period. I hope the president doesn't sign it.

• 30:25Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 30:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Without the enriched uranium being lifted out of there.

• 30:28Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 30:29Patrick Bet-David?

  By US, by US, and that would be a celebration. Then you can go and talk about all the other stuff.

• 30:35Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, it's a nonstarter with that.

• 30:36Patrick Bet-David?

  But the reason why that is happening, Adam, is because the world is putting a lot of pressure on the Strait of Hormuz being open. So the Strait of Hormuz impacts economy, the world economy, the global economy. But the enriched uranium impacts his reputation of who negotiate the terms better. So to me, those are two different audiences to please, to win over.

• 30:56Adam Sosnick?

  I fully agree with you, and ultimately, what I was saying, there was three major components here. Number one was no nuclear, which we're on the same page, I believe. Number two is stop funding terrorism with money and missiles. Stop. Like, we're not doing this. And we'll talk about economy in a sec. And the number three, like you said, is the Hormuz issue. And he said it's international waters, no one's going to control it. But I'll ask you this, Pat.

• 31:18Adam Sosnick?

  If they end up, Iran doing the deal, you're a great negotiator businessman, they do the deal. What Iran is going to get is one thing, money or sanctions relief. We asked where all the billions are coming from. It's going to come from all the sanctions and economic ties to basically putting Iran as a, as a, the smelly kid on the playground, what do you call him? But I'll ask you this, ready? When they do this deal, do you trust that they're actually going to follow through with the deal, Iran? I don't. But the bigger question is this, when they get this, whatever, however many, 100 billion dollars.

• 31:49Speaker 01

  300 billion dollars.

• 31:51Adam Sosnick?

  What are the chances that they're going to use it to improve the lives of everyday Iranians? I think zero. Why? Because there's one piece of evidence pointing that they'll never do this. Because they'll kill you if you speak out. So you're asking a regime to basically intake all this money.

• 32:07Patrick Bet-David?

  There was no question there. So what's your point?

• 32:09Adam Sosnick?

  So my point is this, do you trust the Iranian regime to actually use this money to help the people of Iran?

• 32:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, of course the answer is no.

• 32:15Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 32:16Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't trust it. Of course you don't. But guys, let's not get it twisted. As a leader, who got elected to be the president?

• 32:24Speaker 01

  Donald J. Trump.

• 32:25Patrick Bet-David?

  And who gets to make the final decision?

• 32:27Speaker 01

  Donald J. Trump.

• 32:27Patrick Bet-David?

  And who has more information than anybody else in the world?

• 32:30Adam Sosnick?

  Him and him alone.

• 32:31Patrick Bet-David?

  And with that, he has decided that regime collapse and regime change is not on the table and it's not important to him.

• 32:39Adam Sosnick?

  Correct.

• 32:39Patrick Bet-David?

  He has decided that.

• 32:40Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 32:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Others who came and encouraged people to go out there and protest and be in the streets who were slaughtered, who said they had access to military leaders that are flipping, they ought to be held accountable for. Because you claim military leaders were flipping and you had nobody. And I'm talking about Reza Pahlavi.

• 32:57Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I noticed that.

• 32:58Patrick Bet-David?

  That right there is something that will be held accountable. To me, he has sat there and said, um, this is not a top issue for me, adding campaign on this. I will get rid of the enriched uranium and I will open up the Strait of Hormuz and we will take it from there. And by the way, he forced the position where the internet blackout in Iran, which Iran's president ends the internet blackout orders, access to be restored. And so imagine for how long Iranians have been wanting to show their country what's going on. It's been officially lifted. Peseshkian came out on Monday, restored the international internet access after 90-day blackout.

• 33:38Patrick Bet-David?

  The decree aimed at restoring internet access to the pre-January state was communicated to the Minister of Communication by the president, Iran's news agency says. And so for the past five months, officials in Iran have carried out executions of individuals allegedly involved in planning, facilitating and supporting demonstrations. It's now 87 consecutive days, that's the day I was saying, of Iran's internet blackout, which has been in place for over 2,064 hours. Netblocks, a London-based internet watchout organization, says the measure has eliminated any transparency. So you know why this is important to me?

• 34:11Adam Sosnick?

  Tell me.

• 34:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Because now is the Iranian people, I hope they're sharing what's going on in there and that's going to get the negotiation to be a little bit choppy. Because if Iranians all of a sudden coming out saying, hey, what are we doing with this negotiation? We don't trust these guys. Why are we doing this? Or if they don't, that's gonna be a little bit of inventory of knowledge that we need to see what, what they're independently going through. But for me, I think if the president at all is gonna be thinking about, you know, how to go about this, I, I wouldn't do without the enrichment. I'm sure it's not as easy as, well, it's easy for you to say, we gotta go find a way to get it out. We need to get these people out there. We need to do this. I totally get that. The logistics are the logistics.

• 34:55Patrick Bet-David?

  But if a deal comes out going into the World Cup, hey, we did the deal, but we left in rich uranium, I don't think it's a good look. No, no, I don't think you can do it.

• 35:03Adam Sosnick?

  One follow up, I know you wanna move on, and what you basically said to Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi is a lot of the people that went out and protested and gave their life for this cause, some of that is on his, his dime, his watch. That's kinda how I interpreted that.

• 35:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course, it was very thorough. I was very clear about it. Of course it is, because if I, if I tell you, Adam, right now, trust me, I need you to go protest because I got the governor showing up and I got the military leaders showing up and I got these people showing up. You say, okay, Pat, I trust you. I go out there, one week, two weeks, three of your guys get killed, Pat. So six weeks, seven weeks, forty of your guys get killed. And you're like, where's the military leader? Where's the governor? Uh, you know, I, I changed my mind.

• 35:50Adam Sosnick?

  My cousin's coming.

• 35:51Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, you can't do that.

• 35:52Adam Sosnick?

  Last question.

• 35:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 35:55Adam Sosnick?

  What are the chances that Shah Razapallahvi and Trump are even communicating at this point?

• 35:59Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it's, it's not, if he, if he, if it did, look, he's not a Shah, by the way. He's just a regular guy. He's not even a Crown Prince because he is the son of the Shah.

• 36:07Adam Sosnick?

  Got it.

• 36:08Patrick Bet-David?

  So if he wants to be a monarchist, then he can claim he's a Crown Prince, but he claims he's not a monarchist. So make a decision who you are and what you wanna do. If he was, how many times, like, what have you heard the president say about Netanyahu? What words does he use?

• 36:26Adam Sosnick?

  He said, "He'll do whatever he wants me to do," is literally what he said about him.

• 36:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Is he complimentary of him?

• 36:31Tom Ellsworth?

  When?

• 36:31Adam Sosnick?

  Pretty much, yeah.

• 36:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Sometimes, very.

• 36:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Is he complimentary of Xi?

• 36:35Adam Sosnick?

  He does, because he's a friend.

• 36:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Is he complimentary of Putin?

• 36:37Adam Sosnick?

  He says he's disappointed, but he's...

• 36:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell me who else he's complimentary of, world leaders?

• 36:42Adam Sosnick?

  Well, I gotta be honest with you, Trump is way more diplomatic this time around. So even if it's like an enemy like Xi, he's a great guy, he does that.

• 36:50Patrick Bet-David?

  If, by the way, do you, how many endorsements out of endorsements did he get? 119 out of 119, or 118 out of 118?

• 36:56Adam Sosnick?

  I think he went like flawless.

• 36:57Patrick Bet-David?

  He went undefeated. Why hasn't he come out and said something hardcore supportive?

• 37:02Adam Sosnick?

  That's what I'm wondering.

• 37:02Patrick Bet-David?

  But that's the point, if a person doesn't, don't wonder, it's an answer.

• 37:07Adam Sosnick?

  Wow.

• 37:08Patrick Bet-David?

  A non-endorsement is a endorsement, is a form of a statement that a person's making, so why?

• 37:14Adam Sosnick?

  It's deafening.

• 37:15Patrick Bet-David?

  It is, and so the market could get upset. By the, I'm telling you right now, watch, watch what's gonna happen with the level of hate the monarchists are gonna have towards Trump, and they're gonna put the entire thing on him, not on anybody else, just wait. Remember, wait, we're gonna walk the streets when we go to certain places, and monarchists are gonna pull up, it's 50/50. They'll come up and say, "By the way, privately, I agree with you."

• 37:41Adam Sosnick?

  Of course.

• 37:41Patrick Bet-David?

  "I wish you would have a little bit more of a backbone, okay? I'll share a message, a few of them I just got today this morning." But you know some of them? "Why, it's unfair, why are you doing this?" No, no, it's not unfair. I sat this one out for him to get the job done, and what happened? That's on your guy, not anybody else's guy. So either you're gonna do it, or you're not gonna do it. You mean to tell me you couldn't get in front of the president to get endorsement? They're pretty accessible, this is the more successful administration you've ever had.

• 38:06Adam Sosnick?

  The most.

• 38:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Not like you don't have an accessible administration and it hasn't happened.

• 38:09Tom Ellsworth?

  Of all time, 119 people made it.

• 38:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm making a prediction, just watch, they're going to blame the president on this.

• 38:18Patrick Bet-David?

  They're going to blame the president on this.

• 38:20Adam Sosnick?

  You're saying American Persians?

• 38:23Patrick Bet-David?

  American pro Reza monarchists who want to fantasize with it going back to where it was, which I don't blame them because I fantasize with Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. I have a flipping painting in my house of him. Of all this, any magazine he was ever on the cover of, I have it in my house. I have coins that was given by him to people in my safe. I have gold stuff that it was from, I had his paper, the letter cutter that he had, a gift was given to me. This is the painting I get criticized for. And look who's sitting right in the middle of this painting. It's not like I put anybody else in the middle of the painting. He's in the middle of it. Why do you think he's sitting at the middle of it? There's a reason for it. When I was born, he was the king of Iran for three months.

• 39:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And then he was in exile. And then Khomeini came. So the last time Iran was great and the Middle East was safe was him. Was him. But to assume automatically that the son is him and he's been living in America for 47 year? They have to restrategize and move on.

• 39:26Adam Sosnick?

  It sounds like you're a monarchist, just not for the son.

• 39:28Patrick Bet-David?

  I am, let me state what I am. I'm not a monarchist. I'm a capitalist. I'm a republic. I'm how America was built. I'm for America 100%, right? But if I look back and say, when was the last time Iran was at peace? And the Middle East was at peace was when Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi was the leader of Iran. Okay, you can go up and say, well, Savak this, Savak that, no problem. Everybody has a Savak. Our Savak is CIA. UK Savak is MI6. And trust me, MI6 has a nasty history because they trained everybody. The OG Savak is MI6. The Mossad, all these other guys you want to talk about, they have their own thing.

• 40:12Patrick Bet-David?

  The KG, you can go and talk about a lot of these different systems on how it is. But I want to get to the next story that we have here. So that's that, my, truly my prayers are for Iranian people. Because I would love to be able to go back and visit Iran. And I don't think the odds went up. I don't think the odds went up, but my prayers with the Iranian people behind closed doors, they have to find a way to rally behind somebody that they can make some movements happen. This lowered the odds for them. This is the closest they have come for 47 years. And so we'll see. Now meanwhile, while we're talking about all this stuff with the most accessible president in the history of America, no president's been more accessible. Let me give you the antonym of what accessible is.

• 40:57Adam Sosnick?

  Great word, Pat.

• 40:58Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a guy named Joe Biden. So Joe Biden's wife Jill comes out and says she was worried when he did the debate with the president and she said she thought he was drugged. And she said this in an interview. Rob, which clip do you have, by the way? Both of them?

• 41:14Tom Ellsworth?

  I have this. This is the clip where she says that she was concerned during the debate. And then I have one about him and his cognitive decline.

• 41:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it. Go for it. Were you horrified as you saw it unfold?

• 41:25Speaker 04

  I wasn't horrified. I was frightened because I had never, ever

• 41:32Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the difference?

• 41:33Speaker 04

  seen Joe like that.

• 41:34Patrick Bet-David?

  What's Rob? What's the difference between horrified and frightened?

• 41:38Tom Ellsworth?

  Horrified is you saw a car accident. Frightened is a pitbull's in front of you.

• 41:42Patrick Bet-David?

  What is the difference? They're both scary.

• 41:44Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 41:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead. We finally beat Medicare.

• 41:48Speaker 04

  Thank you, President Biden. Before or since? Never.

• 41:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Or since?

• 41:54Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 41:55Patrick Bet-David?

  You've never seen him like that?

• 41:56Speaker 04

  Never. No.

• 41:57Patrick Bet-David?

  What happened?

• 41:59Speaker 04

  I don't know what happened. I mean, when I, as I watched it, I thought, oh, my God, he's having a stroke. And it scared me to death.

• 42:06Speaker 07

  Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. You knew all the

• 42:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, my God. Answered every question. That's really so funny.

• 42:16Speaker 07

  And let me ask the crowd, what did Trump do?

• 42:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Life! Yeah. So I mean, listen, that's politics. That's optics. And, and what she's done, which, which one's this one, Rob?

• 42:27Tom Ellsworth?

  It's just a cognitive decline.

• 42:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it. Did you ever see signs that he was falling into cognitive decline?

• 42:36Speaker 05

  No.

• 42:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Come on, man.

• 42:38Speaker 01

  Like.

• 42:39Speaker 05

  Truly. No. I mean, people were saying he wasn't the same Joe Biden.

• 42:46Speaker 04

  Well, I don't think that's true. He was the same, the essence of the same Joe Biden, but yeah, he was slowing down. He was getting older. I mean, we all observed that. When you, you know, it's a very intense job. I think it ages you.

• 43:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, I'm gonna come to you first. Go ahead.

• 43:04Speaker 01

  Shame on her. Like, and check the tapes. I've never used the phrase gaslighting. That's what it is. No, Adam, I swear to you guys, I'm 48 years old. This is the first time I'm actually saying it. Now I get, that's what gaslighting is. Are you freaking kidding me? By the way, anytime anybody in this administration, the past administration, or the Jake Tappers, anytime, always pay attention, there has to be a book coming out. What's the name of her memoir? That's the only reason she's in front of a camera. That's the only reason she's at CBS. It's called A View From The East Wing. And it's her just looking at Hunter probably dropping the cocaine in every freaking room. Okay? It's unbelievable, the cognitive decline.

• 43:48Speaker 01

  Everybody saw it in real time, but everybody knew exactly what was going on, Pat. The Corrine Jean-Pierre's, the Jake, everybody that sat there was like, no, he's the sharpest I've ever seen. He's sharpest. Give me a break. We all saw it. And that's the scariest part is, we were screaming from the rooftop, but there was nothing that we could do. When he was being just coddled, and you know, every time that there was questions, they would rush him off, and they'd be like, you guys are crazy. You're being stupid. He's the greatest president. And given the stats, Gavin Newsom was one of those people. And I just think it's sad, and it's disgusting. And at the same time, Joe Biden right now is suing the DOJ to stop the release of audio recordings from his interview with the special counsel,

• 44:30Speaker 01

  Robert Herrpat, because they're arguing that those tapes are gonna reveal how gone he was. But it's just, it's crazy to me that we're gonna pretend, still to this day, it's been two years, that he was okay. And he was making the decisions. Remember, they interviewed all his doctors and everybody. They all pled the fifth. Was he all there? We plead the fifth. And a lot of people were saying that there was two people running the show. One was that guy, who was it? Tommy, the guy with the glasses?

• 44:55Patrick Bet-David?

  A no name guy.

• 44:56Speaker 01

  A no name guy?

• 44:57Patrick Bet-David?

  A no name guy, but he's a heavyweight.

• 44:59Speaker 01

  And Jill Biden. They were saying, a lot of people were saying, like, I think, I think you had her, um, Lyndy Lee was one of the people that was like Jill Biden was pretty much one of the people that was calling the show.

• 45:09Patrick Bet-David?

  President of the United States.

• 45:10Speaker 01

  She was the President of the United States. I just think, Pat, and again, we have to fix, what's the solution? Going forward, every single year, the President of the United States has to sit live and do a, a, a nonpartisan cognitive test so we could see. I don't care if it's take the square, put it in the box. We have to do that because that's unbelievable that they let it happen for that long.

• 45:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, what clip is this?

• 45:31Tom Ellsworth?

  This is the President. He was asked during the cabinet meeting earlier this week regarding the lawsuit.

• 45:37Speaker 04

  What are your thoughts? Why do you think that Joe Biden is trying to sue the Department of Justice, former President Joe Biden, to have his tapes that he did interviews on blocked from the American people hearing them? Do you think that he's trying to hide something? And maybe Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch could comment on if they will countersue and release those tapes to the American public?

• 45:55Speaker 05

  Are you talking about it with respect to his book?

• 45:57Speaker 04

  Or with respect to his memoirs?

• 45:58Speaker 05

  Well, I'd like to see it. I don't know. Maybe there's some constitutional reason. I don't know. I'd like to, I would like to see what he has to say because we could never allow what happened to this country to happen. The man was grossly incompetent and the Democrats, I call them the Democrats because the policy is so bad, but they, they came very close to destroying our country. We can never let it happen again. And I hope that you're able to produce that. I think it would be a very interesting reading for people.

• 48:55Adam Sosnick?

  Well, Biden was the last moderate that we've seen running for president or any part of the Democratic Party. We can go down a whole rabbit hole of how they've become complete socialist and it was this... Body, a bag of bones that was basically keeping this thing together. But you know what it reminds me of? It's like one of those things where it's like, nobody just gives up power. You have to take it. And nobody's just gonna say, yeah, you know, my husband's the president, or I'm the president. Here you go, guys, I'm done. You know, like, remember when Michael Francis was here the other day?

• 49:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Hmm.

• 49:26Adam Sosnick?

  And they go, uh, you know, what do you, what do you think about Meyer Lansky? Great guy. What a guy.

• 49:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 49:32Adam Sosnick?

  Uh, Lucky Luciano, hey, listen. Wonderful guy. There's this famous clip that you see about these guys when like, I think, uh,

• 49:40Adam Sosnick?

  John Gotti got arrested and they're asking about him in New York. He's like, what about all the murders? Like, what murder? What about all the crap? No, he's a great guy. Politics is just like, uh, the mafia. You have, by the way, even more power and more control. So don't forget, Jill Biden is a gangster.

• 49:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh.

• 49:59Adam Sosnick?

  Jill Biden is a gangster. She was basically saying, I know my husband is basically Weekend at Bernie's, Weekend at Biden's, I'm gonna get up there and do a whole spiel to keep power.

• 50:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course.

• 50:11Adam Sosnick?

  Think about what kind of gangster that is, this woman is.

• 50:13Patrick Bet-David?

  All of them.

• 50:13Adam Sosnick?

  So don't be fooled that she's an elementary school teacher and you answered all the questions. She's like, I'm living in the White House right now? And you think I'm gonna give this up?

• 50:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh.

• 50:23Adam Sosnick?

  To this orange clown?

• 50:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Hunter, yeah.

• 50:25Adam Sosnick?

  I'm gonna lie about everything.

• 50:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom.

• 50:27Adam Sosnick?

  So I respect her hustle. Thank God he'd win, though.

• 50:30Tom Ellsworth?

  How about some receipts? Want some receipts?

• 50:32Adam Sosnick?

  I love those, Tom.

• 50:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Let's play fun with receipts.

• 50:34Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 50:34Tom Ellsworth?

  The Biden administration presented the National Archives with a plan and a price tag for the Biden Presidential Library. It was $200 million. As of last January 1st, January 1st, at the time Trump was inaugurated, how much had been raised from donors? Remember, it's four months after the election.

• 50:52Patrick Bet-David?

  That is embarrassing, Tom. What is it?

• 50:54Tom Ellsworth?

  $4 million.

• 50:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh my God.

• 50:56Tom Ellsworth?

  Hang on. They've still been trying to get. Things raised and how much have they raised as of right now barely 10 they think they'll have 11.3 by the end of this year in seven months.

• 51:10Speaker 01

  For a library.

• 51:10Tom Ellsworth?

  For the library.

• 51:11Speaker 01

  Follow the money.

• 51:12Tom Ellsworth?

  By the way, by the way, our good and great friend, John Morgan, who's a very funny guy, but also a personal injury attorney who favors the policies of the Democrats that protect personal injury attorneys. Well, hang on, last fall around Halloween, he asked for a refund of his $800,000 and he said, I don't think the library is ever going to get built unless it's an old school book mobile because you know, John is very sarcastic and John, if you're listening, I'm trying to get your quote right, but that's what you said. And so this is where it is. So why is Hunter going out? Why is this book going out? They apparently have been using Hunter and the book on this like apology tour and they've been reaching out to donors. So there's some of the receipts.

• 51:54Tom Ellsworth?

  They're also worried about, Pat, you always talk about it, legacy. And what is more legacy than a presidential library? And this is the first of the last 15 presidents. It doesn't look like he's going to have a library.

• 52:06Speaker 01

  Not even close. By the way, to say. Great job.

• 52:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And if they do, like, what are you going to do going to the library? What's in the library?

• 52:12Tom Ellsworth?

  Sponsored by some.

• 52:13Speaker 01

  Cocaine.

• 52:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Like what will be in the library? I mean, look, if Hunter Biden's cocaine is there, I think that'll bring people.

• 52:19Speaker 01

  Oh, Pat, that bag.

• 52:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Take a little bit of flour, put it on a Ziploc, put it there and say, this is allegedly Hunter Biden's cocaine.

• 52:25Speaker 01

  I would fly to wherever that is.

• 52:26Tom Ellsworth?

  Maybe a sponsorship like Nodos.

• 52:28Speaker 01

  I would go to see them.

• 52:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Zigzag or.

• 52:30Speaker 01

  Isn't that, isn't that kind of like, well, I mean, technically they were saying too that Obama.

• 52:36Speaker 01

  Yeah. Do you guys remember when Obama did that interview where he's like, I wish I, I would like to do a third term, like maybe have the president up there and I would just be in his ear. It's pretty clearly obvious that Biden wasn't in charge. Who was calling the shots for the country?

• 52:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Vinnie, Vinnie analyzes.

• 52:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Embarrassed, by the way, Vinnie, the most embarrassing thing to me. Is that every time somebody ends up becoming a president, guys go out, Rob, can you pull up? How much money was raised for the last six presidents for their library? How much money was raised for the last six presidents for their library?

• 53:11Tom Ellsworth?

  And Obama, Obama went back for a 33% overrun and he got it, and he got it.

• 53:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Massive, massive if you think about how much Obama got, but I just want to know the last few presidents. Okay, look at Obama, one and a half billion dollars to build his library.

• 53:26Tom Ellsworth?

  And if you look that up, it went into overrun.

• 53:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Nine fifty to a billion dollars to put a place here. George Bush, five, by the way, it's a beautiful library for George Bush. Clinton, 20 years ago, 165. George H W Bush, 83 million, Reagan, 30 years ago, 100 million. Today, Biden, 4 million, what? But it tells you that 2020 election maybe was fake and he wasn't a real president. Weird. When, when it's this kind of support that comes up, this questions a lot of other things.

• 54:03Adam Sosnick?

  Can I, can I agree and give you a little pushback? I, I think to put a ribbon on this thing.

• 54:10Adam Sosnick?

  June 27th, 2024 was the date of this disaster debate, the date of the debate. His fate was sealed on that stage. If Biden would have done the thing that nobody does is give up power and say, guys, what I was supposed to do is you elected me to take over the, the driver's seat from Trump. I did my job. Thank you for allowing me and giving me the confidence to serve this country for four years. Due to my health issues, I'm stepping down to spend more time with my family, yada, yada. But I have trained Kamala Harris or whoever it may be, a, a primary. People would have said, wow, you know what? Respect to you, Joe. And his legacy would have lived on forever.

• 54:54Adam Sosnick?

  But because this guy had so much pride, ego, people in his ear, Jill Biden saying, you got this, Joe, run. His fate was sealed and his library was not built because of that debate performance, in my opinion.

• 55:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Adam, was it possible he was so far gone that he couldn't make that determination and people just carried him along?

• 55:13Adam Sosnick?

  I'm not that, I'm not that far.

• 55:14Patrick Bet-David?

  I'd like to move on. This is not that important. It's just something that happened. I mean, it's, it's

• 55:18Adam Sosnick?

  Just like his library.

• 55:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, exactly. Uh, let's go to the next one. The next one I want to get to is a story about Peter Thiel. Okay. Thiel, Thiel, you know, Peter Thiel, billionaire, who a lot of people say, you know, back in the days, they used to say the Koch brothers, "Hey, uh, brother, what can I get you for your birthday? Which president would you like?" Right? That was a joke. That they would pick presidents. That's a powerful

• 55:41Adam Sosnick?

  The Koch brothers.

• 55:41Patrick Bet-David?

  The Koch brothers.

• 55:42Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 55:42Patrick Bet-David?

  That would speak. The Koch brothers, not C-O-K-E.

• 55:45Adam Sosnick?

  No, that's the Biden brothers.

• 55:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, now the Koch brothers. So today, a lot of people say he is one of those guys. He chooses presidents. And a lot of people said, he's the one that chose, uh, what do you call it? Uh, J.D. Vance. He's one of the big reasons why J.D. became a VP, and his goal is that maybe by 2028, J.D. becomes a president. Everything I just said is allegedly, okay? Allegedly, allegedly. And this is why you always wear the allegedly hat or the shirt to protect yourself. But everything here is allegedly that we're talking about. So here's Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel is decamping to the end of the world. The billionaire's new roots is now in Argentina, said to be partly motivated by concerns about the future of the U.S. and shared belief with Argentina's right-wing leader, which happens to be Millet.

• 56:31Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, respectfully, Millet's still in the partying phase. Trump's not, Millet's single. He can still party. He's probably more fun to be around than Trump today. Trump's all business today, right? So let me read this to you. "Saturday tournament at Bonus Irish Chess Club hosted its usual lineup of players, including an accountant, college student, school student, but at this time the luncheon, uh, hunched over the club's tiny wooden table, with then was a new entrant, which is who? Peter Thiel, the right-wing tech billionaire and Trump donor." So they go into the whole thing. And then Rob, if you want to pull up the story with the house that he bought, the $12 million house he bought in, uh, he bought apparently the biggest house in Argentina was only $12 million.

• 57:07Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly.

• 57:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And if you go look at this, and maybe this will inspire some people to go, can we see the house? Or we can't get any of the details of the house? Does it show us any pictures of the house or no? Can we find out how big it is? Is that the one? There it is. That's the one right there. Will we get any pictures? Okay, that's the house that he bought. $12 million.

• 57:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Go back to see what's that what said is that the property spans about 1600 square meters, roughly 17,000 square feet, sits in Barrio Park, one of the city's most elite embassy line neighborhoods, where trophy homes rarely come to market. Go next, Rob, to see what else we have there. Okay, all right, pretty nice house, 17,000 square foot house, big house, 12 million bucks. Tom, what do you think Peter Thiel moved to Argentina? Do you agree that that's the reason? Because Humberto earlier told me, the two countries that are, Rob, do you have that line with the missile where the missile can reach? Pass him. I don't know if you have that or not. There's a picture that Humberto shared with us, yes. Red one? Yes, if you look at the picture of Humberto, if you want to send it to him,

• 58:11Patrick Bet-David?

  you'll see there's a line where certain places in the world you can live in, that that country is safe, they're not going to be hit by it. And this happens to be one of the places, if you zoom in, look at this. And what do they call this, Rob? This, the line, there's a word for this line. Fun fact, there are more billionaires' doomsday bunkers in New Zealand than the rest of the world combined. One of the main reasons for this, no idea. Anyway, here is the alleged range of Israel's Jericho III nuclear missiles. Zoom in, go back to the picture. So look at Australia on the right, New Zealand on the left, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and Mexico.

• 58:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, places to be. Tom, why do you think Peter Thiel, power player, moved to Argentina?

• 58:59Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, first of all, you gotta look at the face value of what he said. I'm concerned about the United States, I'm concerned about the direction. You know, I think a lot of people can say that right now, you know, I'm concerned. I have faith in the leadership, but I'm concerned. I'm concerned about what the next chapter could be. I look at the next chapter at AOC and Newsom, I can hardly say his name, and I see issues that concern me, deeply concern me. And if I had enough wealth, would I? Make a bet. Look, he's so wealthy, he's not moving his entire wealth, moving everything down to be taxed in Argentina. They've moved down there. He's got a residency and he says he's moving the kids down there, you know, for school. Now, if he's on, remember, we

• 59:42Tom Ellsworth?

  know a little bit about this, Pat. Where is he? He's down Embassy Park, right? I mean, Bario Park, which is where all the embassies are. So guess what, guess what's down there? Really good schools. You look at any of the major countries in the world, and down by the embassies, where ambassadors and people live, there's usually a great school called the International School. And you can put your kids there. So I think he's, you know what? I think he's putting a chip on red, and just saying, you know what? I'll get a house down here, I'll do this down here. And then, think of it as a bunker in plain sight, Pat. You know, billionaires are supposedly building bunkers, supposedly, you know, Zuckerberg

• 1:00:24Tom Ellsworth?

  built one over in Hawaii. And so billionaires are always looking at Plan B. I think this is Peter Thiel, Plan B in plain sight. I think that's what's going on. And it concerns me, because I wish he wasn't thinking he needed a Plan B. That's what, that's what disappoints me.

• 1:00:41Speaker 01

  Adam?

• 1:00:42Adam Sosnick?

  I think this is a non-story. Listen, $12 million for a house in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is nothing. He's worth how many billion? I'm going 20-plus billion. You know, if you know anything about Peter Thiel, I like what Tim Dillon had to say about him. He goes, you know, you know, Silicon Valley, PayPal mafia, tech founder, you know, likes tennis, but also, in his spare time, concerned about the Antichrist. Kind of his thing.

• 1:01:10Speaker 01

  Kind of scary.

• 1:01:11Adam Sosnick?

  It's kind of like how Tucker's like, well, there was another joke about, he's like, he likes hunting, fishing, chew and dip, but also Sharia law in Qatar. It's kind of his thing. So this whole situation where Peter Thiel, by the way, where's Peter Thiel from? Germany, this isn't the first time a German, you know, conveniently moved down to Argentina. We won't go there today, Humberto. But the reality is, I don't think this is a big deal. I think he's just buying a property where he wants to be and good for him.

• 1:01:41Speaker 01

  Well, that's, that's another way to look at it. But Adam, when somebody to me is talking, giving speeches of the Antichrist, and he's also talked about the apocalypse, and he's also talked about Armageddon in past speeches, it should be a little bit wary that the guy's leaving after he invested, how many millions of dollars did he put into J.D. Vance? And then we hear a story that J.D. Vance might not run. And if you think about it, that's J.D. Vance, and by the way, and it's all starting to make sense. J.D. Vance is in these rooms saying, you know, remember the president said he's less enthusiastic about this war? I think he's distanced himself to where guess what? If he, if this war keeps happening, like we keep hearing every week, it's, is it gonna stop? Why not distance yourself? Get out of the freaking way because you know whoever's gonna be attached to it,

• 1:02:26Speaker 01

  either it be Marco Rubio or whoever, they're gonna pin this whole thing and say, well, you were the one that wanted it, and you wanted to do it.

• 1:02:32Adam Sosnick?

  Where were you?

• 1:02:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, where were you? So if you think about it, I mean, if we have, you do the Nancy Pelosi tracker, we should have a billionaire tracker, find out where these people are going. Mark Zuckerberg bought-

• 1:02:42Adam Sosnick?

  Bunkers in second homes abroad.

• 1:02:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly. Mark Zuckerberg bought a freaking $200 million bunker in Hawaii. Why? What are the, Adam, these people are very, very smart. They know all the algorithms. What are you talking about? He's moving his kids there. By the way, I, I'm pretty sure he's, is, is he gay? Peter Thiel?

• 1:02:59Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:02:59Speaker 01

  Oh, so he bought, so the, the kids that he's-

• 1:03:01Adam Sosnick?

  He's not gay, he's not gay, but his husband-

• 1:03:03Speaker 01

  His boy, his husband is. So they, when people say him and his kids, they're not his kids. He paid for these kids.

• 1:03:08Adam Sosnick?

  I hear you, and I'll just wrap this up real quick. I hear you, I understand, there's a lot of doomsday preppers. I'll just say this, this is what I'm doing. I'm not betting against America. I'm not moving anywhere. You hear these stories of all time that people are moving. We had a guy, EMPs, remember he came on twice, Pat? He was sort of a doomsday prepper. What was his, his name, forgive me?

• 1:03:28Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know, but I do know he died.

• 1:03:30Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, Peter Cry.

• 1:03:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Peter Cry.

• 1:03:32Adam Sosnick?

  Peter Cry, respect, you know, respect, rest in peace. I'm not betting against America. I don't think you should bet against America.

• 1:03:38Speaker 01

  I'm never betting against America.

• 1:03:39Adam Sosnick?

  I doubt anyone is moving anywhere. By the way, if you move to Argentina, you know what's so amazing about, Don't Cry For Me Argentina?

• 1:03:45Speaker 01

  Pat said the steak is.

• 1:03:46Adam Sosnick?

  Is the misery index in Argentina is ridiculous.

• 1:03:49Speaker 01

  Misery?

• 1:03:50Adam Sosnick?

  Misery index in Argentina, which is basically inflation and unemployment. It's some of the worst in the world, almost as bad as Iran, almost as bad as Zimbabwe. That's how bad it is in Argentina. That's why Milley got elected, by the way.

• 1:04:04Speaker 01

  When you're a billionaire, you're.

• 1:04:05Adam Sosnick?

  With this chainsaw.

• 1:04:06Speaker 01

  When you're worth a couple of billion.

• 1:04:07Adam Sosnick?

  When you're worth 20 billion, this is a drop in the bucket, this house.

• 1:04:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, so it's this isn't, you missed the whole story. This isn't about a house, buddy. You think we're talking about a house?

• 1:04:16Adam Sosnick?

  You're talking about the prepping.

• 1:04:18Patrick Bet-David?

  No, this is, this is like, you completely missed the mark about this. This is not about a house.

• 1:04:23Adam Sosnick?

  You're talking about JD Vance?

• 1:04:24Patrick Bet-David?

  This is about, why is he moving there and he's saying he's worried about the future of America?

• 1:04:29Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, what does he know?

• 1:04:30Patrick Bet-David?

  And he's going to a place like that. You don't think there's some weird conversations being had behind closed doors?

• 1:04:34Adam Sosnick?

  Oh.

• 1:04:35Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know. I don't think it's just a house story.

• 1:04:37Adam Sosnick?

  Well, clearly it's not a house story. That's my whole point was that it's, the house is meaningless. It's 10 cents to him.

• 1:04:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, let's get to next story. So here, yesterday, you know, you hear the story about the J6, Rob, I don't know what page that's on. It's like, look, these guys that were falsely arrested and they did time and they're going through the nasty last few years that they had. You know, the president comes out and says, do you have that story, Rob, about the amount of money they're trying to help him out? And, you know, Newsom got upset about it and he came out and he said he vows to tax 100% of tax on DOJ's anti-weaponization fund payout. And it created a ton of conversations. It was one of the main stories on X.

• 1:05:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Gavin Newsom vowed Wednesday to tax any payouts that California residents receive from the 1.776 billion dollar anti-weaponization fund that Trump secured in a settlement with his own Justice Department as Democratic lawmakers and states across the country ramp up efforts to counter the president on the measure. Is this the one about, anyone from California that received any of those funds, we want to tax 100% of those proceeds? Is that the clip here, Rob? Is this the one about the slush fund?

• 1:05:56Adam Sosnick?

  I believe so. I actually.

• 1:05:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Hold on one second. Because there's a clip that he's talking about and Newsom's pledge mirrors legislation unveiled earlier this week in New York by Democrat Alex Boers, a state assembly member and house candidate that would assess 100% tax against payout from the fund Trump announced at the fund last week as part of a $10 billion settlement with the DOJ in his lawsuit against the IRS. Democratic efforts to undercut any payouts are picking up across the country. Democratic state lawmaker in New York are pushing for a vote by next week to fully tax payouts from the fund. Go forward, Rob. This is the clip.

Is there anything you can do about that? Well, I've been thinking a lot. I'm not in Congress. I was out there in Washington, D.C. trying to make a case anew. Had some good meetings with EPA. Lee Zeldin's a...I want to get him fired.

• 1:09:13Speaker 01

  Look at this. He's talking with Lee Zeldin.

• 1:09:16Speaker 05

  But, you know, there is teams working hard to see what we can do to help the victims of last year's fires in Los Angeles. And so I was up there around the time when legislative leaders were all, you know, discussing what the options were. And so I've been thinking a lot about it in my flight back. And one thing that I think we're going to try to do with your support is tax 100%. Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100% of those proceeds. And that's an action the state of California can take. It's an action we look forward to taking.

• 1:09:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, thoughts on this?

• 1:09:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, so did some research here, and Pat made a comment on X. I think he was absolutely correct. And let me, let me go to a quick legal analysis.

• 1:10:08Tom Ellsworth?

  So 100% tax that singles out recipients of one specific federal fund looks less like attack and more like a confiscation or a penalty. Under the supremacy clause, here we go. If a federal court concludes that a tax at the state level exists or was implemented to obstruct, nullify, or frustrate a federal settlement program or other federal program, it will likely be struck down in the appellate courts as interfering with the federal function. That's, that's a supremacy clause. And everybody can argue about it and get on a soapbox, and I just made my argument from my side. But you know what?

• 1:10:53Tom Ellsworth?

  Listen to what Gavin Newsom said. He's a very clever guy. The first thing he said, "I don't want to get Lee Zeldin fired." So he's, he's intimating that maybe Lee Zeldin was cooperating with him or doing something. "I don't want to get Lee Zeldin fired," as if being nice or working with Newsom on something would get Lee fired. That's just kind of what he was floating out there, which I think is just very clever. But the other part, Pat, is it a true statement that this is an action that California can take? Yes, it is. Is it an equally true statement that that action can get shut down, shot down and reversed at the, by the appellate court very quickly? That's also a true statement. So I'm, I'm listening very carefully to how he uses his words. So California can try, but many legal scholars, a legal analysis I found, would say, "Listen,

• 1:11:37Tom Ellsworth?

  you're pointing your tax at the recipients of the federal on a one-to-one basis. You're retaliating, you're trying to cancel federal programs. Supremacy clause, federal over state." Sorry, dude.

• 1:11:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, pull up supremacy clause. Pull up, what is the supremacy clause? What is the supremacy clause? Okay. So supremacy clause, the foundation, US Constitution, principle that the federal constitution, the federal laws are the supreme law of the land. Located in the article, I want to say that 6, clause 2 of the Constitution, it mandates that federal law takes precedence over any conflicting state or local laws. The hierarchy, US Constitution, federal statutes, and the international treaties sit at the top of the legal pyramid. State constitution, state laws, and the local ordinance must yield to the federal authorities. So when he's coming out and saying this, and by the way, my tweet, if you want to go up to the tweet, Rob, on what I said to Newsom's camp right there, I said, "You ever heard of supremacy clause? Gavin Newsom, it's as if you wish you were a king."

• 1:12:33Patrick Bet-David?

  These guys really want to be a king, where they can do things. That democracies can't. If you want to go back to their response because and then they responded back and said California will tax J six cop beaters cry harder Patrick. That's Gavin Newsom's official office. Then if you want to go back to my next tweet, Rob. And then I responded back and I said, uh, says the biggest crybaby in politics, you go down as the worst governor in the state of California ever heard. Uh, ever had, you can't hide from your failed resumes. If you want to go to the comment section there, they responded. You know what they said? Click on that. They responded with, okay. And I said, I'm glad you validated it. Right. So, you know, I'm glad they validated it with. That's all they came back with Newsom's office.

• 1:13:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Go back, that's all they came back with. Okay. Now, if you want to go back, Rob, to one more tweet. Go back one more, if you can to the top, keep going. This is the one because the guys kept responding. One guy on the bottom said, doesn't California beat Republican lead states? In vast majority of major metrics. I said, yes, it does. It beats them in homelessness, fraud, wasting a hundred billion dollar surplus. I think the number was 95 billion to be exact. Correct. Losing a trillion dollars of wealth twice in five years, negative net migration, illegal immigration, high gas price, highest gas prices, highest taxes, wildfires. And I said, listen, I gave him a shout out. Gavin Newsom is crushing it. So people need to realize this guy's fighting to be your president. And by the way, you know what else he said? Rob, if you want to play the clip about well taxes. This is the one that nobody said was with Professor Galloway.

• 1:14:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Where he's sitting down with him and he says, hey, this well tax idea may be so good. I may want to take it national. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:14:10Speaker 05

  I absolutely believe nationally, uh, we need to tax billionaires more. We need to change the stepped up basis. We need to address the issue of capital gains. We need to address the issue of corporate taxes. We need to address. Uh, when you've talked a lot about this, the 84.4 trillion to, to seen some estimates over 124 trillion dollars of generational wealth over the next decade and a half, two decades, uh, that will pass, uh, and address the issue of inheritance, dynasty trusts. Um, and, and going back to some tax brackets, uh, that are more, you know, analogous to the guy who used to reside here.

• 1:14:46Adam Sosnick?

  At the governor's mansion back in the eighties or at least in the sixties as governor and president in the eighties. And so we need to do all of those things. At the same time, at the state level, I'm proud of this. I don't defend it from a defensive posture. I spent a good 15 minutes at my state of the state earlier this year, making the case for California's progressive tax structure. We, yes, have the highest tax rate for the 1%. No, no. But by definition, 99% of people don't pay that rate. So people lazily refer to California as a high tax state, when in fact, states like Texas and Florida tax their low wage earners more than we tax our high wage earners.

• 1:15:30Adam Sosnick?

  Yet they're considered low tax states, which is rather perverse.

• 1:15:34Tom Ellsworth?

  Slimy comparison. Alert, alert, alert.

• 1:15:37Adam Sosnick?

  Go ahead.

• 1:15:38Tom Ellsworth?

  So he's trying to say, by the way, there is no income tax in Texas. So he's saying they tax their low wage earners more than we tax our high wage earner. He is making a discontinuous comparison. This is what he's doing, Vinny. He's looking at sales tax, he's looking at tax on license plates, he's looking at property taxes, and he's trying to say that in Texas, that will be more than 13%. Because you do pay taxes on things when you buy them. But he's saying they tax their low wage earners more than we tax the 13% of our high wage earners. That is an absolute salacious comparison. It's absolutely fake and false. Word talk, number scream, and those words talk, but those numbers scream false. That is absolutely wrong.

• 1:16:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Capital gains he's talking about. Vinny, you have $175,000 because you did well.

• 1:16:29Adam Sosnick?

  Go, Vin.

• 1:16:30Tom Ellsworth?

  You pay 40% tax on that, now you have $100,000 net. Has that $100,000 been taxed? Yes, it has.

• 1:16:35Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:16:36Tom Ellsworth?

  And you worked hard for it, and it was 175, now it's 100. You take the $100,000, you put it into a company. You build it up, and four years later, you sell that little company to dry cleaners that you had for $1 million. So you turn the $100,000 into a million. But the $100,000, you had already worked hard for that and been taxed, and that was when you-

• 1:16:56Patrick Bet-David?

  That should not be touched.

• 1:16:57Tom Ellsworth?

  So guess what?

• 1:16:58Patrick Bet-David?

  What?

• 1:16:58Tom Ellsworth?

  The Republicans pushed up, that's capital. You gained on that capital by investing it in something good.

• 1:17:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 1:17:05Tom Ellsworth?

  So you should pay capital gains, which was only 20% until Obama got involved, put another 3% on top of it.

• 1:17:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Good job, Obama.

• 1:17:11Tom Ellsworth?

  So that's less than the 40%. So when he talks about capital gains, he's talking about higher taxes on money that's already been taxed, that was put to work building a company, establishing jobs. And the Republicans said, timeout, there has been a growth in that, so the tax, but the capital gain tax should be less than the regular income tax of 40%. Come on, guys, let's help the entrepreneurs do things. Let's help people, and by the way, the same thing applies to your house. You're owing your house over time and it's capital gains. You see that? And so, this last little bit with Galloway, man, why isn't there a real-time truth detector on a call-out on this?

• 1:17:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I didn't watch the whole thing, so I don't want to hold Galloway accountable, because he may have asked the question.

• 1:17:57Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm not talking about Scott.

• 1:17:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, he knows what things to ask him. Uh, but here's when probably the most, uh, uh, uh, the best analysis done on Newsom's ideas is by Scott Besant. It's very technical, and he does it in two seconds, so go ahead. Anti-weaponization fund, your response to the governor's call for 1% tax? Uh, there's no cure for stupid.

• 1:18:23Patrick Bet-David?

  You just gotta love him. So, Adam, your thoughts on this?

• 1:18:26Tom Ellsworth?

  I gotta take classes from Scott.

• 1:18:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Your thoughts on this?

• 1:18:27Adam Sosnick?

  Look, I agree with Tom, and I agree with Scott Besant. Uh, what I've realized, and I had to learn this myself, and this is the state of Florida, is Democrats love taxes. They, they, they love taxing people. Tom said that you have income tax, you have, uh, uh, employment tax, you have property tax, you have gas tax, you have estate tax, you have, so, we're already getting taxed so much, and now they want to tax you more, and tax you up the wazoo. What's the famous shirt that AOC wore to the Met Ball? Tax the rich. This is their game plan. Their entire game plan.

• 1:19:05Patrick Bet-David?

  It was a white dress, I think.

• 1:19:06Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, exactly. This is their entire game plan. They're not even hiding it, guys. By the way, and I don't want to say this too much, the 1% or the 0.01% already pay 50% of the taxes for the whole country.

• 1:19:18Speaker 01

  They want more, Adam.

• 1:19:19Adam Sosnick?

  So what I want to do, and I'm going to continue to do this, I just want to thank you Gavin Newsom. I want to thank you Zoran Mandani for bringing everybody to Florida.

• 1:19:28Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, God, here we go.

• 1:19:29Adam Sosnick?

  Everybody's coming here.

• 1:19:30Speaker 01

  No, I don't want that.

• 1:19:32Adam Sosnick?

  Well, doesn't, but Vinny, you moved here, guy. You don't really have to say.

• 1:19:34Speaker 01

  I know, you want to keep, let's bring more.

• 1:19:36Adam Sosnick?

  I'm born and raised in Miami. I can tell you'd get out of here.

• 1:19:39Speaker 01

  More. Well, you don't drive, you don't have a car, so you don't have to deal with traffic.

• 1:19:42Adam Sosnick?

  Even better.

• 1:19:42Speaker 01

  Stop inviting people here.

• 1:19:43Adam Sosnick?

  My point is, I appreciate all their policies. Everyone thinks it as a negative. Zoran Mandani is the best poster child for moving to Miami. And then just flip it, because who's the governor that would be the antithesis, or the antonym, as Pat said, to Gavin Newsom? Is our amazing governor in Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis, who's now saying we have such a budget surplus in this state that they're talking about eliminating the property tax in Florida, because it goes to locals.

• 1:20:11Tom Ellsworth?

  For long-term residents, which would include the elderly.

• 1:20:13Adam Sosnick?

  Bingo. So at the end of the day, they just want to tax you and tax you and tax you. And one thing we know, you can't tax your way to prosperity.

• 1:20:20Speaker 01

  Well, after hearing Gavin Newsom, Pat, that right there is why somebody like Peter Thiel gets on a plane and flies there and moves his entire family. And the whole, what do you mean? This is the attitude of where the country's going. Don't, by the way, Adam, he's talking, and he made a great point. He's talking as he's going to be the president. This is a national thing. And the email has gone out to the Democratic Party. It's this whole communist, open border, illegals, taxing and all this. And Pat, mind you, this $1.776 billion fund is the anti-weaponsization fund. It's a settlement that Trump is basically saying, hey, we were suing the IRS and the Department of Justice for 10 billion. He goes, I'm going to drop it. I don't want anything for myself. This is going to go towards people that are getting wrongfully accused and targeted by the freaking government and the IRS.

• 1:21:05Speaker 01

  And I absolutely love it. It's not just January 6ers, Pat. It's anybody. Mind you, if you're in the Capitol beating up cops, go to jail. This doesn't apply to you. They even said it in this article that I read. It's for people that are getting targeted, the victims of politicization and weaponization from the government. Okay? If any other place, Pat, people go after you the way that the government does, you get to sue them, defamation, all that type of stuff. Why? Why should it be different for the government? I absolutely love that he's doing it, and Gavin Newsom is the epitome of what's wrong with this freaking country.

• 1:21:34Adam Sosnick?

  They gotta pay for all the fraud in California, isn't it? Have you ever covered how much the gas tax is in California versus other states?

• 1:21:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Seventy-one cents.

• 1:21:42Adam Sosnick?

  You know about this, right?

• 1:21:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course.

• 1:21:43Adam Sosnick?

  I did some research on this. There's a federal, you know, because Pat-

• 1:21:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, I'd like to go to the next story. I just want to go to the next story. The gas tax are seventy-one cents.

• 1:21:50Adam Sosnick?

  There you go. California is the highest.

• 1:21:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Night and day.

• 1:21:52Adam Sosnick?

  Gas. It's crazy.

• 1:21:53Patrick Bet-David?

  You're right. So let me get to this next one. This next story is an interesting one, okay? Michael's biopic came out, Michael Jackson, and it just crossed seven hundred million dollars. I think opening weekend, the two hundred seventeen million. They're thinking it's gonna cross a billion. The same guy that produced, Michael, produced Bohemian Rhapsody, which Bohemian Rhapsody is number one. All-time biopic, if I'm not mistaken, that one did nine hundred million dollars as the biopic. And by the way, do you know how much interesting facts are in this movie? You know who stars Michael?

• 1:22:27Adam Sosnick?

  Who?

• 1:22:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Jafar Jackson. You know who Jafar Jackson is? He's the son of Jermaine Jackson. Do you know who Jermaine Jackson?

• 1:22:33Adam Sosnick?

  His brother.

• 1:22:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Jermaine Jackson had that one song, "Do what you do when you did what you did to me anymore." Like that whole song. Look at it. So, but here's the interesting part. One day, Graham King, who produced both Bohemian Rhapsody and Michael, comes up to Jafar and says, "Hey, you look like Michael. You're his nephew. I want you to play Michael." Jafar says, "I'm not an actor." He says, what do you mean? You've never acted? He says, no, I golf. He's like, what are you talking? He says, no, no, I'm not an actor. I'm a golfer. I have his moves because it's my uncle, so I learned the moves. But I'm not an actor. He says, well, are you open to it? He says, not really. I'm not in acting. I've never taken any acting class. So Graham King says, would you be okay?

• 1:23:20Patrick Bet-David?

  If I hire somebody that teaches you acting for the next two years? And you learn how to act? He says, I'm open to it. Look how long-term thinking Graham King gives. For two years, they spent time with him. He eventually starts getting it down. And he stars in the movie. And by the way, I watched the movie. He crushed it. Same as Bohemian Rhapsody. Some of the people are like, well, the whole nasty part of, you know, Freddie Mercury wasn't in it as much as it should have been. There was stuff in there. And, you know, all the nasty side of Michael wasn't in there. But here's where it gets interesting.

• 1:23:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you know who wasn't? Like which character of the family wasn't in the movie Michael?

• 1:23:58Adam Sosnick?

  The father?

• 1:23:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Janet Jackson, the father's like the main villain. He's phenomenal. The villain is phenomenal. Without the father, this movie doesn't make any sense.

• 1:24:06Adam Sosnick?

  Joe Jackson.

• 1:24:07Patrick Bet-David?

  So who's the youngest child the Jacksons had? It's ten kids. Janet's the youngest. You know who's the second youngest? It's a guy named Randy Jackson. Tom was on a flight with Randy Jackson.

• 1:24:17Adam Sosnick?

  But not, not from American.

• 1:24:18Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, no, different Randy. So Randy Jackson, marries a girl, doesn't marry a girl, ends up with this one girl. Rob, can you pull up who Randy Jackson has two kids with? She's got a Hispanic name, beautiful girl. Him and this girl are together. They have two kids together. Okay? But they never got married. They were together for eight years. Her name is Alejandra, this girl right here. Alejandra Genevieve Ozzyaza, okay? So they're together for two years. And then guess what ends up happening? They have a breakup. Guess who she goes and marries and is with him for eight years? Jermaine Jackson.

• 1:24:53Adam Sosnick?

  No way. They went to the brother?

• 1:24:55Patrick Bet-David?

  The same girl had two kids with two Jacksons.

• 1:24:58Adam Sosnick?

  No way.

• 1:24:59Patrick Bet-David?

  You guys don't know the story.

• 1:25:00Adam Sosnick?

  That's an undercover brother.

• 1:25:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Two kids with two Jacksons. So now. With Jermaine, she has a kid called Jafar Jackson. Jafar plays the role of Michael Jackson. And guess who's close with who? Janet Jackson and Randy are close and Janet said, "I don't want to have anything to do with this movie." "You guys do everything you want to do, but we don't want to be in it." So you will never see Janet Jackson in the movie at all. You will only see some of the brothers that took place. And there was a couple of clips that when this interview was taking place, it is such an interesting thing. The father is the main character in the movie. As good of a job Jafar does, the father in the movie is the one that makes it very interesting. Taking out the belt, beating them up.

• 1:25:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Michael was interviewed many times, says, "What do you remember about your dad since I was five years old? You know, he would take out the belt and all this other stuff." There's a lot of clips about it. But one of the clips is when they ask Joe, the father, "Hey, if you were alive, if you and Michael were closer together, if you were still in Michael's life, would Michael still have been around?" Rob, I don't know if you can find that clip or not. He says, "If I was in Michael's life, he would still be around. He would still be alive because I wouldn't have let those guys do what they did."

• 1:26:17Speaker 01

  This is Joe.

• 1:26:18Patrick Bet-David?

  This is Joe. Yeah, this is Joe. He says, "I love my father, but I..." Yeah, this is the interesting part about what this guy did to drive the hell out of his kids. Maybe, Rob, play this clip first. This clip is when Michael says, "I didn't know my father." I just send it to you if you want to play this clip. And remember, by the way, when it comes down to Michael, Michael was a phenomenon. Like, you know, people say Drake has more number one records now. He broke the record of Michael. There's a very different thing with the influence Michael had over Drake. Michael was like, you know, the impact all over the world. Rob, if you pull this clip, watch us Michael talking about his dad and then play the Michael's father clip. Go for it.

• 1:26:59Speaker 07

  He also said, "I love my father, but I don't know him." "I love my father, but I don't know him. I don't know him the way I'd like to know him. My mother's wonderful. To me, she's perfect."

• 1:27:13Speaker 05

  I just wish I could understand my father. What do you have to say about that? Well, I can't help it because he don't know me.

• 1:27:26Speaker 05

  One of the things that he should know is that I was there from the beginning. I raised him. I worked two jobs to keep food on the table. It wasn't easy to support nine kids. And I did all these things and kept him with instruments and rehearsed them too to be entertainers.

• 1:27:48Patrick Bet-David?

  And he did.

• 1:27:49Speaker 05

  He should know me, but I don't know why he don't.

• 1:27:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Kind of interesting, right? Now, play the other clip, Rob, on when he's asked about if Michael would have been around. Watch what he says here. Let me ask you a question. If you were in Michael's life, would he still be alive today?

• 1:28:07Speaker 05

  Of course. Of course, I had told some people, some friends, that if I don't get to Michael, he ain't gonna be here long. I said that. He won't be with us long.

• 1:28:25Speaker 05

  And I called a shot to the T. It's exactly what had happened. I just didn't like to see him. Matter of fact, I wouldn't go and see him laying up in the casket because I did not, I didn't want to remember him.

• 1:31:12Speaker 01

  Well, I wanted to remember him. Vibe and dancing on stage. Best ever.

• 1:31:23Speaker 01

  He was your boy.

• 1:31:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Isn't that sad?

• 1:31:27Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, one of the things Michael said, one of the things Michael said is, "I fear for my life. They are trying to eliminate me because I've said too much." Okay? He also said, "The government altered the frequency of music to control and influence your minds." He said, "It's not the government, it's the elite." This guy got started talking about some heavy, heavy stuff, yeah. "History books are false. The history they teach you in school is nothing but lies." Okay, I mean, he, "I have to escape the system that controls the world." "They want to kill me for my catalog. One day, the truth will come out."

• 1:32:04Patrick Bet-David?

  "I reported them, so they falsely accused me." "They want to kill me, and they will say I died because of an overdose." He said that.

• 1:32:13Speaker 01

  He said that, I remember.

• 1:32:14Patrick Bet-David?

  He said that.

• 1:32:14Speaker 01

  Yup.

• 1:32:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay? And then what ends up happening, so this is why, look, if you're a Michael fan, or if you're, you know, you like musical biopics, this is actually a very, very good movie. We want to watch it. Tico gave it a nine and a half. He's like, "This is, this is a very, very good movie." It's tragic what happens when you make it at that level, and there's typically a guy like him. Remember the story of Serena and Venus Williams, where they called the movie, what they called me, Richard?

• 1:32:37Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:32:37Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know what it was called.

• 1:32:38Speaker 01

  King Richard is what it was called.

• 1:32:39Patrick Bet-David?

  King Richard, yeah.

• 1:32:39Speaker 01

  Will Smith played him, and then he smacked Chris Rock.

• 1:32:41Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you process it when you see what the father had to say about Michael?

• 1:32:44Speaker 01

  It's such a, man, it's such a slippery slope path, because, think about it. If, if Joe Jackson didn't do what he did, and I know people are gonna be like, "What are you, uh, uh, but..." Listen, you don't get, and I, Michael Jackson's my number one of all time, forever. He was just fantastic, amazing, amazing, the most talented person. They said that if you could, Pat, he was so famous, you could take the glove, the Michael Jackson glove, and go to parts of Africa, no TV, no nothing, and just put it on, and they would know that it was Michael Jackson. Like, they know that. But if you don't get that discipline and that push, you don't have the Michael Jackson. On the flip side, he was such, in, in pain, and wanted love from his father, and then, when people are like, "Oh, he was hanging out with little kids."

• 1:33:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, he missed that entire childhood, while you were outside and playing with little Johnny and Timmy and Sarah. Michael Jackson was in a freaking house practicing and getting his butt whooped when he wasn't doing it right, when he was failing at it. And then you got the greatest artist-

• 1:33:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you see the movie?

• 1:33:43Speaker 01

  I didn't see it.

• 1:33:43Patrick Bet-David?

  You would love the movie.

• 1:33:44Speaker 01

  I'm gonna have to watch it.

• 1:33:45Patrick Bet-David?

  I'll go watch it again with you. You would love the movie. It's that good of a movie.

• 1:33:48Speaker 01

  Tito wanted me to watch it.

• 1:33:48Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it's a very, very good movie.

• 1:33:50Speaker 01

  And it's such a like, and that's the question. Do you give Michael Jackson, and the question is, God rest his soul, would you ask Michael, "Hey, Michael, if we went back in time, would you want your dad to have just left you alone and you'd have just done whatever you want and you would have picked your own thing?" Because it seems like, you know, Joe was very, very hard on him and said, "This is what you're gonna do. These are the hours you're gonna put in and you're gonna perfect it." So I'm, it's just-

• 1:34:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you think he died or they killed him?

• 1:34:16Speaker 01

  I don't, I mean Conrad Murray's the one that gave him that last, whatever, medication or anything like that, Pat? But I was following, by the way, I was performing with Damon Wayans Sr., I believe, in Cleveland. We were doing the show and Damon Wayans knew Michael personally. There was a part of his house where he has like a, an glass case with the glove and a jacket and everything. I saw Damon's face and I was like, "Oh my, like, what's going on?" And Michael Jackson had passed and we had to go and do the show. It was one of the worst shows because everybody was in such shock. What was the question, Pat, that you asked?

• 1:34:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Whether you think he died or they killed him.

• 1:34:50Speaker 01

  I don't know. I, I, I think that under, under a circumstance where you're talking about, and if you, what was the concert called? Rob, the last, the last tour that he was-

• 1:34:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Victory. No, no, no, no, no. Victory's not the last one. Victory's the one that he did.

• 1:35:02Speaker 01

  What's the last thing that he was doing where he was even saying, "If we don't get this right and I'm gonna expose stuff, this is it. This is it." He was saying it. Pat, he almost knew that they were going to do it. So I, I would say with, with, with the evil powers that run this world, Pat, especially with buying Sony and he was saying Tommy Mottola was the devil and all that stuff. I, it wouldn't put it past me that they did something to kill him, to shut him up.

• 1:35:24Patrick Bet-David?

  He said something, he says, "At five years old, a hundred million people were watching me."

• 1:35:31Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 1:35:31Patrick Bet-David?

  "At five years old, I had the precious, I don't know what it is to be a kid. I never had the opportunity to become a kid. Never." So this is the clip, Rob, if you want to clip, play this, and then Tom, I'm gonna come to you because, Tom, Tom was at the, the entire thing ends at the Victory Tour. And Tom worked the victory tour, just so you know.

• 1:35:49Adam Sosnick?

  You mean this is it?

• 1:35:50Patrick Bet-David?

  This is the tour. Tom watched Michael Jackson perform. Did you say six days?

• 1:35:55Tom Ellsworth?

  Seven. It was seven days at Dodger Stadium.

• 1:35:57Adam Sosnick?

  What do you mean you worked the victory tour?

• 1:35:58Patrick Bet-David?

  He worked at the Dodger Stadium, watched Michael Jackson live seven days.

• 1:36:02Adam Sosnick?

  What do you mean you were working? You're doing biz doc stuff at the stadium?

• 1:36:05Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no.

• 1:36:05Tom Ellsworth?

  No, no. I got through, one of the ways I got through college is I was an usher at Dodger Stadium. And when the victory tour came through, Dodger Stadium was responsible for ticketing, security, ushers and everything like that. And so there was a tremendous floor seating that was there and it had to be handled differently because it wasn't like numbered the way it was in the stadium. There was a lot of things that had to happen. And so we knew the stadium. And so we were, went through this whole thing. This is what we're gonna do, this is what we're gonna do. He wants, you know, keep, let the people stand up and sing downstairs. Don't make them sit down, blah, blah, blah, blah. All these things we did, but we saw seven concerts. It was amazing.

• 1:36:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Do you have that clip?

• 1:36:45Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep.

• 1:36:45Patrick Bet-David?

  This is it. Watch this. Go ahead.

• 1:36:47Speaker 05

  I don't read all the things written about me. I wasn't aware that the world thought I was so weird and bizarre. But when you grow up as I did in front of 100 million people since the age of five, you're automatically different. My childhood was completely taken away from me. There was no Christmas, there was no birthdays. Those were exchanged for hard work, struggle and pain, and eventual material and professional success. But at an awful price, I cannot recreate that part of my life. And that's why I love children and learn so much from being around them. I realized that many of our world's problems today, from the inner city crime to large scale wars and terrorism

• 1:37:31Speaker 05

  and our overcrowded prisons are a result.

• 1:37:35Patrick Bet-David?

  There's something very special about him. You know, you hear this and it kind of goes to Justin Bieber when he played that one song. You know, he wrote that one song Lonely and you see him in the mirror where it's him and the kid. You know, we can't play it obviously, but Adam, your thoughts on this?

• 1:37:50Adam Sosnick?

  I got a lot of thoughts on this. I'll tell you this. I think Michael Jackson was the last. I'm talking world-class phenomenon musician that we'll ever see, ever.

• 1:38:03Speaker 01

  I agree.

• 1:38:04Adam Sosnick?

  I mean, the last of a kind. I mean, because before him, it was The Beatles. Then it was Elvis. You could argue that Madonna was kinda in that, but there was only one Michael. I'll give you a quick story. I was, I got a haircut, I don't know if you noticed. And I'm at the barber shop and, you know, my assistant producer, Jaden, he's there with me. And me and Brandon, he's giving me a fade, this guy Brandon. And he's like, "How old are you?" You know, he's like, "I just graduated U M, I'm 22." "Man, you're just, you're just a little jitterbug," is what he called him. And Michael Jackson comes on and I'm getting my haircut and I go, "I'm talking to the man in..." That song right there, I love that song. And then he says, "Yeah, I think Prince was better." And me and Brandon, who's like my age, go, "What, what did, what did you say?

• 1:38:47Adam Sosnick?

  You think Prince is better than Michael Jackson? Yeah, you know, party like it's 1999." Little Groot Corvette. I said, "Listen, do me a favor. I need you to understand something. You're a little young jitterbug." There's a difference between an icon. There's a difference between a Prince, or some may say a Madonna, some may say a Beyonce. You could even say a Justin Bieber. When you're talking about a phenomenon that the world has never seen, that's Michael Jackson. That's who he is. He had a lot of extracurricular weird stuff, but, you know, they separate the art from the artist. The last of his kind.

• 1:39:24Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:39:24Adam Sosnick?

  That will take over the world.

• 1:39:25Speaker 01

  By the way, my dad hit me with a belt and I joined the Air Force. Joe hit him with a belt and he was Michael Jackson, whatever belt that was.

• 1:39:32Patrick Bet-David?

  I wish I could play a song from Instagram that guy I shared with you.

• 1:39:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:39:38Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, how about this? Other things can happen. Favorite Michael Jackson song? If you can only listen to one MJ song.

• 1:39:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Any Are You Okay, Dirty Diana. Probably those two.

• 1:39:46Adam Sosnick?

  Are you okay?

• 1:39:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Those two.

• 1:39:47Adam Sosnick?

  That's Smooth Criminal.

• 1:39:48Speaker 01

  Billie Jean.

• 1:39:48Adam Sosnick?

  So you like Smooth Criminal? Billie Jean?

• 1:39:51Speaker 01

  Oh, man.

• 1:39:52Adam Sosnick?

  Thriller?

• 1:39:53Speaker 01

  Thriller, thriller, just a video on the, but like, you know what I would do, Pat? Because I was such, I was so in awe of Michael Jackson, and anybody at home could do this. Go to fans reacting to Michael. There's people, like, girls, like, out in public, Pat, crying and fainting. And they're the best ever, and I have the DVD at my house, because I saved it. It's Michael Jackson Live at Bucharest Dangerous Tour. It's, he, you hear the lion, I got goosebumps. The lion, look at my goosebumps. The lion roar, he shoots through the stage, stands there, glasses, gold G-string outside of his pants. And for two and a half minutes, he's standing like that, 10 people, look at this, pass out, and look, he, this is it. He's, guys, he doesn't talk. Yeah, they don't, they don't do the music, Pat.

• 1:40:37Tom Ellsworth?

  They'll never be anything like this again.

• 1:40:39Speaker 01

  10 people, men, women, faint, watch, does he move his head? Watch, when he moves, but he's wearing a gold G-string outside of his pants.

• 1:40:46Tom Ellsworth?

  Don't worry about that, Dan.

• 1:40:47Speaker 01

  People were literally, guys, imagine paying for the concert, it hasn't started, you've already fainted.

• 1:40:53Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, look at this, nobody, oh!

• 1:40:59Tom Ellsworth?

  Tom is there, Tom is there being the usher, collecting tickets right now.

• 1:41:03Speaker 01

  Dude, goosebumps, I mean, one of one right there, stop, I cry.

• 1:41:07Patrick Bet-David?

  When we came from Iran, I had one Michael Jackson shirt, let me tell you. That Michael Jackson shirt to wear, you thought you were cool. But for whatever reason, in America, if you wore it at that time, it wasn't cool. I don't know why it wasn't. No, no, I wore the Michael Jackson shirt.

• 1:41:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Tell me you've never tried to do the moonwalk.

• 1:41:23Speaker 01

  I'm getting a Michael.

• 1:41:24Tom Ellsworth?

  You've all tried.

• 1:41:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, today with my torn ACL, there's not a lot of things, like, if I do the moonwalk, I may tear my meniscus, so I gotta protect the meniscus.

• 1:41:30Tom Ellsworth?

  Highest grossing?

• 1:41:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Movie of all, biopic, musical biopic, it's, it's worth watching.

• 1:41:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Gotcha, and number one was what again?

• 1:41:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Bohemian Rhapsody, which is all for good.

• 1:41:39Tom Ellsworth?

  For now, he didn't beat it.

• 1:41:40Patrick Bet-David?

  No, he didn't beat it, okay. So, all right, let's go, let's go to the next story. I got a couple more stories to go through. So, like I said earlier, Connor said that, you know, yesterday was a bad day for going to space, but it was a good day for explosions. Bezos is doing his thing with Blue Origin.

• 1:41:59Patrick Bet-David?

  And so everybody's watching this clip and what I I thought it's you know half the time nowadays when you see stuff when you're scrolling like why why is this clip showing up everywhere? Like it's just AI. But no, this is what happened yesterday. This is the Blue Origin. Look at this explosion. Oh my god.

• 1:42:14Speaker 01

  It is good to look. It's so awesome to look at though, Pat. Come on.

• 1:42:17Tom Ellsworth?

  Wow, that's so messes up his carbon footprint.

• 1:42:20Speaker 01

  Well, we're breathing all that.

• 1:42:21Patrick Bet-David?

  No matter how far you are, like if you're looking, you felt that. You felt that. Okay, so.

• 1:42:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Rob, there's clips of it. Where's Al Gore?

• 1:42:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Go to this with Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos tweeted about it if you want to go to it. Jeff Bezos, he's been on trending stories the last week quite a lot, but he tweeted about it. To give an update, uh, uh, this is go a little bit lower. All personnel are accounted for and safe.

• 1:42:46Tom Ellsworth?

  I love the first name.

• 1:42:47Patrick Bet-David?

  It's too early to know the root cause, but we're already working to find it. Very rough day, but we'll rebuild whatever needs to rebuilding and get back to flying. It's worth it. Do me a favor. Open it up with, there you go. And look who comments at the top. Okay, look who comments at the top.

• 1:43:03Tom Ellsworth?

  Astra per aspera. What does that mean?

• 1:43:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, Rob's Twitter is Latin is because Rob likes it Latin. So through hardship.

• 1:43:13Tom Ellsworth?

  Through hardships to the stars. That's amazing.

• 1:43:15Patrick Bet-David?

  I love, I love that instead of taking that opportunity to, you know, call him out or do any of that stuff, he gives him a compliment. And, you know, I said to him, you guys will figure it out. All the best. And it was, it was interesting seeing it's a very different, difficult business to get into top. When you see the explosion and what happened, what, what stories do you know about it? What facts do you have about what happened there?

• 1:43:39Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, you know what? It's a test firing. And if you go back in time and you'll find the Apollo mission, there were test firings on the launch pad. Not Apollo, but with the early space program. We, we had missiles and then we put, you know, chimpanzee into space. Then we had Mercury, Gemini, Apollo. We went in order. That's exactly what Elon Musk went through. And Elon Musk has had test firings. He's had a rocket that launched a short distance and it goes, guess what? One of the perfect things he said was one of his. First Elon has tweeted a couple of things on this. All of them are understanding and compassionate about the entrepreneur. It was a test firing that went badly. And you know what? I love Bezos first comment. All people are accounted for and safe.

• 1:44:24Tom Ellsworth?

  In other words, all the scientists, everybody were way over here. Kaboom. Whoops. All right, well, let's go back and let's, once the fire goes out, let's see if we can figure out in the wreckage of, you know, what went wrong and get it. But every space program has this, every has it. This is, this is trial and error. You think A B testing on social media ads.

• 1:44:45Patrick Bet-David?

  How big it is in a plane.

• 1:44:47Speaker 01

  Pat, that's 50 miles away.

• 1:44:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Stop it, Rob.

• 1:44:50Speaker 01

  50, 5, 0 miles. Imagine you're on a plane and you're like, oh my God, it's the end of the world. And you don't know what the hell is going on. It's a nuke. No, Pat, Pat, think about it.

• 1:44:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Do it again, Rob?

• 1:44:59Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 1:44:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Go, go back again from, from the top.

• 1:45:02Speaker 01

  Could you imagine you're coming in for landing? Everybody, uh, welcome to, look to the left and, uh, oh my God, that's a nuclear weapon. Go back to the other one, Rob. Show the one that I sent you, Pat. Could you imagine, guys, before you play it, you're at a bar, you're drinking, you have no idea that there's even a rocket launch test, whatever. And look at this, Pat. Could you imagine that? It looks like a nuke.

• 1:45:23Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, you know how much total damage was done in dollars?

• 1:45:26Speaker 01

  How much?

• 1:45:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Dollars.

• 1:45:27Speaker 01

  Taxpayer NASA.

• 1:45:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Aerospace analysts are saying the alleged cost damage, nuclear and rocket destroyed, 150 to 300 million dollars. Launch pad repairs, the LC 36, 50 to 200 million dollars. Testing equipment, ground systems, 10 to 100 million dollars. Launch delays, investigation, lost revenue, tens to hundreds of millions of dollars.

• 1:45:50Tom Ellsworth?

  Able to buy it on your MasterCard?

• 1:45:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Observers are saying at the low end minimum, it's a quarter of a billion dollars, upwards of a billion dollars of loss to what happened yesterday.

• 1:46:01Speaker 01

  Stick to Amazon and let Elon do it. Just let Elon do it. We're good.

• 1:46:04Tom Ellsworth?

  Pat, there's another part to it, but what was learned? There's going to be a bunch that was learned. This is the entrepreneurial process.

• 1:46:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, for sure. Now, listen, for sure. Look, you know, uh, uh, uh, for us yesterday, uh, you know, I, I, we have things that you're going to make mistakes with as a. Operator, no matter what company and things that you do. But you have to learn from it. You have to move on from it. You have to kind of see what adjustments you have to make. Man up, take the responsibility and move on, make it better. And for me, there's no way you're worth a few hundred billion dollars because you got everything right. You're worth a few hundred billion dollars because you did a lot of things that went wrong and you learned from it and you adjusted. While you're in the spotlight, everybody bashing you, calling you this and this and that. And he has gotten to this point. So I I'm looking forward to the recovery from this to see what they do next.

• 1:46:52Patrick Bet-David?

  And knowing Bezos, you know, you you're gonna see the next story. And I think the day it happens where they have a successful launch, you know, who I think is gonna retweet the successful launch? I think Elon Musk will retweet the successful launch and give him a shout out, Adam.

• 1:47:04Adam Sosnick?

  I I fully agree with you. I'll just give it a little a little spice to it. I think they're actually becoming more aligned than ever. Because I said on the last podcast, I think that, you know, the enemy of the enemy is friend. I think they're realizing what this socialist Marxist communist woke agendas taking over. They see what's going on in New York. They see what's going on in California. And they're realizing we're in this thing together, guys. And so Blue Origin rocket blows up horribly. And let me get this straight. Elon Musk, competitor to Jeff Bezos tweets. Didn't he say something about rockets are tough? And then the future is into the moon. Basically, here's what here's where I'm going with this. You've talked about this before. A public loss like this, Pat?

• 1:47:47Adam Sosnick?

  I don't think we understand this, like for someone like Jeff Bezos. Okay, think about the the most public loss you've ever had, whoever you are watching this right. You lost the Super Bowl. You lost the big game. This guy's rocket blew up and lost, how many hundred million dollars?

• 1:48:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Fifty two billion.

• 1:48:05Adam Sosnick?

  And everyone's talking about it and your chief competitor is like, hey, man. Sorry about that. You know, dust it off. Get back out there. Go invest the money that they want you to that they want attacks and go build another racket. Go racket rocket. So it like Tom said, you don't win or lose, you win or learn. And I think he'll he'll learn from this and get better. Shout out to the entrepreneurs who are doing stuff like this. And I just, I'll, I'll end with this. The, the money that you're not taxing, Mom Donnie or Bezos or whoever, he gonna go forward to buy a new rocket because it costs a hundred million dollars. Are you gonna pay for that? Because he will.

• 1:48:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. So let me get to the next one here. Westmore, Maryland decides to come out two days ago thinking this was a good idea. Maybe he's just testing it out. But we saw it all over the place that he wants to ban Glocks. Rob, do you have that story? Story comes out that, you know, we had Wes Moore on and one of the things that I spoke to him about, you know, I think this is an NRA page 13, if I'm not mistaken, Rob. You know, NRA sues Maryland officials over Glock pistol ban. Glock pistol ban. Is this it, Rob?

• 1:49:17Adam Sosnick?

  Yes, sir.

• 1:49:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Go forward.

• 1:49:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, there's no way I can't hear anything she's saying. So National Rifle Association and two other gun rights groups sue Maryland officials Tuesday over freshly signed legislation that effectively bans the sales of Glock pistols in the state. The advocacy group filed their lawsuit in federal court challenging the law on the Second Amendment grounds hours after Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed the legislation which bans the manufacture, sell and purchase and receipts of transferred machine guns convertible to pistols. The law defines such pistols as semi-automatic firearms with cruciform, triggers bars that can easily be turned into machine guns by installing or attaching a pistol converter, sometimes called a Glock switch, as a replacement for the slides back play.

• 1:52:24Tom Ellsworth?

  So what he's trying to do, this is a test. Wes Moore is not a dumb guy. I disagree with his policies, things like that, but he's not stupid. What he's testing here is are they're going to be able to get certain guns that say, whoa, wait, this one can be easily converted to automatic. And let me draw a line for people. You know, the insurance industry that actually reached out and sued, what was it, Kia? Because they said two of their cars were very easy to be stolen. It was very easy to break in and very easy

• 1:53:08Tom Ellsworth?

  to flip ignition on. I think it was Kia. And the Insurance Institute of America was like, hey, on behalf of all car insurance companies, Kia and Hyundai settled 145 million class action suit for vehicles because they were lacking engine immobilizers. And guess what? U.S. Circuit of Court for the Ninth Circuit upheld the settlement. So guess what? That was victims and insurance companies. So he's trying to test that if there's a flaw in a product, can I get it blocked? But what's also going on here is there the dream of Democrats on gun control has always been to get a definition bill passed. You know the definition bills, Vinnie? Where the addendum lists all the guns that follow

• 1:53:53Tom Ellsworth?

  the definition. So let's get AR-style guns banned. And then all they do is keep getting another model and another model and another model until every gun imaginable is listed on the addendum. So effectively, the bill is what? A gun ban. So it starts out sounding like sneaky. And this is what the NRA, I mean, people may not like the NRA and their lobbying. Well, other people don't like other lobbies. And so what Wes is trying to do right here, Pat, is test whether he can get on the grounds that there's a product flaw that leads to an issue, just like the class action suit on cars. He's trying to see if

• 1:54:32Tom Ellsworth?

  he can get it through despite the NRA and others' suit against it. And then he wants to move from there. That's what's going on here. Vinnie?

• 1:54:42Speaker 01

  I don't have enough, I don't want to add anything that gets guns. I'm not happy about it.

• 1:54:46Adam Sosnick?

  Well, I think if this is just Maryland following suit, if you look at the highest tax states, they're also the strictest gun law states. I know there's a correlation there, the big blue states and the big blue cities. The states with the highest strictest gun laws are all the states you would suspect. California, number one, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, and then Maryland. Maryland is, I think of Maryland, I don't know, because it's next to Virginia DC, is more of a purple state, but I've realized that it's just officially blue. That's just all I want to say. So he's just doing what all his constituents want, which is higher taxes, more liberalism, stricter gun laws, and that's just following suit.

• 1:55:28Patrick Bet-David?

  If you're testing to see how this is gonna land with people, this is the part that, you know, the Democrats keep giving more confidence to Republicans while Republicans will continue winning, is because they don't know how to connect with independents. They keep thinking that you're in a room, everyone's like, "Oh my God, you're so great, Adam. Oh my God, you're so great, Vinny. You're so this. You're so, oh my God, I'm killing it." And then you run a poll and you're like, "Oh shit, I'm not killing it."

• 1:55:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I thought, I thought everybody loved me. No, they don't. No, no, no, they're not happy with this. Okay, all right, so now you got some, oh, maybe in some rooms they all like you, but which rooms does everybody like you? Not in every room. Now, there's certain people you're not gonna win over, no matter what. There's people that wake up in the morning, anything good you do, you do 99 things right, they could give a shit about the 99 things you do right. They just wanna care about the one thing you do wrong. Set that community aside. Believe it or not, it's not that big of a community. Because those guys that are like that, guess what are the way they are with their personal life? Same exact way. They, they look at the world and the only thing they see is the bad. They don't see the good. They're typically only wired that way. But you have to listen to the reasonable

• 1:56:41Patrick Bet-David?

  voices. And the reasonable voices are typically independents. The independents are the reasonable ones. They're the ones that they're like, huh, he's kinda right. Why are we paying more into NATO than others? Why are other countries not? That's a very good question, Trump, right? And this is an independent who would have never voted for Trump. Why are we letting in so many millions of people into the country? You know, James Talarico was asked a question by Pete Hexette when he used to work at Fox, if you can find this...

• 1:57:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Why are you not for voter ID? And he's like, well, there's just hundreds of thousands of people in Texas that have a hard time getting an ID. It's like, uh, what, what, what problem do you have with not needing an ID to vote? You know, 15 to 16 states in, in America, you don't even need an ID to vote. So the independents says what, Vinnie? You know what the independents says? Why do I need an ID to go through TSA Pre, but I need, I don't need an ID to vote? Yeah. What's a bigger decision? Yeah. Yeah, what, what's a bigger decision? You know, so, so I need an ID to go into a nightclub, but I don't need an ID to vote? The independent, believe it or not, is that keeps America like this. Is this it, Rob? Yeah, it's a short clip. Go for it, Rob. Watch this with his beautiful haircut.

• 1:57:53Speaker 01

  Are you okay with voter ID? So voter ID is currently required in the state of Texas. I, I opposed having to have a driver's license to vote. How about having to send your ballot in? Should you have to prove who you are? Cause that's what Democrats are opposing. Pete, I just said I, I oppose voter ID. Currently it's a law in Texas, but I oppose that law because I think you don't need an ID. You oppose voter ID?

• 1:58:12Patrick Bet-David?

  So pause it right there. So guess what? What do you mean you oppose voter IDs? What do you mean you want to take Glocks away from people? Independents are like, no, Second Amendment. And, and crimes are going up. You're seeing what's happening. You want me to not want to have a protection for my wife or myself? No, no, I'm not with that. And then you do it in a state like, like, uh, Maryland. Maryland, yeah. So this is the part where guys play politics. He has so many things going for himself. As a Democratic candidate, any day of the week, I would pick him as a Democratic candidate to take the primary over Newsom. If I have a guy to win the primary on the left over Newsom, it's, it's Westmore, right? If there's somebody on that side, you, you would take him more than you would take AOC. It's a very different country, okay? Very different country.

• 1:58:57Patrick Bet-David?

  But when you start playing politics, independents are like, yeah, I don't know about that. Now, if he's testing and doing what Trump typically does, well, you, you got a very quick response from people on what's going on. Let me get to last story before we wrap up. You guys remember E. Jean Carroll, okay? Eighty-three million dollars. Who said, you know, when, when Anderson Cooper famously asked, so what do you think rape is? Do you think it's physical? No, it's a fantasy. Sexy. Most people think it's sexy. Sexy. It's like, uh, Anderson Cooper's like, what the hell is this lady talking about? He was shell shocked. Is that it? Yeah, go to the last 15 seconds. Go to the middle right there. Go ahead. I think most people think of rape.

• 1:59:38Speaker 01

  But it's being sexy.

• 1:59:40Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:59:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's take a short break.

• 1:59:41Speaker 01

  Think of the fantasies. Watch, watch, watch.

• 1:59:44Patrick Bet-David?

  We go take a quick break. If you can stick around, we'll talk more.

• 1:59:48Speaker 01

  You're fascinating to talk to. Jeez. Yeah. She reminds me.

• 1:59:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. That clip will never get old.

• 1:59:56Speaker 01

  Who's the lady, the actress she reminds you of?

• 1:59:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Hundred and One Downton.

• 1:59:58Speaker 01

  No, no.

• 1:59:59Patrick Bet-David?

  She's a villain in Hundred and One Downton.

• 2:00:00Speaker 01

  Forty Year Old Virgin. Pull up the lady from the Forty Year Old Virgin. She looks exactly like her.

• 2:00:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. So, yeah, yeah, I know who you're talking about. The one that works at the Best Buy or whatever. Yeah.

• 2:00:10Speaker 01

  She's incredible.

• 2:00:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:00:11Speaker 01

  Manager.

• 2:00:11Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so, but, so, that's a different one. That's Wedding Crashers Tom. But, so, going back to this. She comes out and she says.

• 2:00:19Speaker 01

  Lady right there.

• 2:00:20Patrick Bet-David?

  She comes out and she says she forgot that somebody paid her money for the lawsuit, the legal fees.

• 2:00:28Speaker 01

  Huh.

• 2:00:28Patrick Bet-David?

  And so, Vinny, can you tell us who financed her lawsuit?

• 2:00:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, so there's a guy, I don't know if you guys have ever heard of this guy. His name is Reed Hoffman. I don't know if you guys, and bother, allegedly, Pat, allegedly, there's another person that, again, I'm gonna say the word allegedly because that's what we use here. We've got a shirt. Blasey Ford. Remember the girl that went up against Kavanaugh, Brett Kavanaugh? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Supreme Court. This is, so play this clip really fast, Rob. Play this clip of her lying.

• 2:00:58Speaker 05

  Spoken about is the, the lack of disclosure about a, a big Democratic donor funding part of this case. Was there a reason it wasn't disclosed? And did you view this as political in any way?

• 2:01:08Speaker 01

  No. I just completely, I just completely forgot that he even existed.

• 2:01:16Speaker 04

  In your deposition?

• 2:01:17Speaker 01

  Yes, in my deposition. Oh, and then, Rob, can you show the deposition? The, the, guys, this is the text. So, and again, Trump is going after, and I, I saw all the pundits yesterday, like, how dare, he's using the Department of, no, no, no, no, no. She lied. He had to spend millions and millions of dollars. And again, going to the anti-weaponization thing, he wants this not to be able to happen. Check this out. So, they ask her, are you presently paying your counsel's fees? This is a contingency case, so you're, you're not paying expenses. Anything out of pocket to date, is that correct? I'm not sure about expensive, I had to look it up. And then they ask again, the lawyer, is anyone else paying your legal fees, Ms. Carroll? No.

• 2:01:59Speaker 01

  Bingo, she's that, that is exactly what the president is going after her for. And by the way, guys, if she can't remember who paid her legal fees, how could she even remember that Donald Trump, maybe she forgot that that wasn't Donald Trump that was in doing what she said that was sexually assaulting her in a dressing room. So what, yeah, so what are you talking about? And again, this is just going to show you what the system does when people like Reid Hoffman, who Elon Musk even said to him, what did he say about him and the Epstein files and everything? About how much he was at?

• 2:02:29Tom Ellsworth?

  They, they once upon a time were PayPal bros, but they collide now.

• 2:02:33Speaker 01

  Oh, it's horrible. And he said a lot of stuff about him who

• 2:02:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Big beef.

• 2:02:37Speaker 01

  Allegedly visited the island. So I don't know. And I, I, I love this, Pat, because the proof is in the pudding. And I'm happy that he's going after her. Good liar, period.

• 2:02:47Tom Ellsworth?

  I, I, you know, I really don't have anything to add other than what is just so blatantly obvious here. What is the timing of it? What is the timing of it? Do you think she woke up one day and said, I think I'm going to go back out. And I think I'm going to say a few things. I think I'm going to do this. What is it? No, this is the, this is the backplane of the, of the, the establishment that's back there that is flipping switches and saying, we need this, we need this, we need this. And I think these things don't pop up like popcorn. I think these are manipulated moments. That's what I think.

• 2:03:20Adam Sosnick?

  Got him. I just think this is another one of the things that they use to try to take Trump down. I mean, for 10 years, they've been trying to take him down, whether it's Russia, whether it's impeachment, whether it's his lawsuits, whether it's the mugshot, whether it's this fake rape fantasy grape. And it's being funded by all the billionaires who hate Trump or hate America. Because indictments are sexy. Exactly. So Reid Hoffman allegedly to me, my opinion is like the Neville Roy Singum?

• 2:03:51Adam Sosnick?

  Of domestic politics. If you don't know who Neville Roy Singman is, he's the former-

• 2:03:55Speaker 01

  Communist in China.

• 2:03:56Adam Sosnick?

  He's born in America, went to the CCP, funding all the Code Pink, BLM, Gays for Gaza rally, all this stuff. The ball got run in. Exactly.

• 2:04:05Speaker 01

  There he is.

• 2:04:06Adam Sosnick?

  He's, I think allegedly the guy that allegedly funded Who's Your Boy that went to Cuba and he's dealing a hot water.

• 2:04:13Speaker 01

  My boy Hassan.

• 2:04:14Adam Sosnick?

  Hassan Pike, whatever's going on with that guy. That guy, you know, the Marxist communist guy. All this stuff, in my opinion, that's all getting exposed. And that's a great thing for America.

• 2:04:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, there you go. It's great when BS gets exposed, especially when you try to do everything in your power to destroy a man's life. And I can only imagine every time she wakes up and she watches anything on TV, she has to see him there. Anytime, any of these guys from CNN or from ABC, 60 Minutes, any of these guys who would do anything to destroy this man's life. Every time they wake up, if they go on social media, if they go read any paper, if they read any magazine, if they watch any news, they have to see that guy's face there and hear his voice. And you know what it does to them? Can you imagine what it does to them?

• 2:05:03Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, they all have-

• 2:05:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you imagine what it does to them that they're going through that?

• 2:05:06Speaker 01

  Rosie O'Donnell, I don't know if you saw, Rosie O'Donnell got a facelift. She looks even more, it doesn't work-

• 2:05:12Patrick Bet-David?

  More depressed.

• 2:05:13Speaker 01

  More depressed.

• 2:05:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Even the surgery can't make her be top right, Rob.

• 2:05:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, your TDS, it just made her-

• 2:05:19Patrick Bet-David?

  You just had it, the Page Six article, Rob.

• 2:05:21Speaker 01

  Like there, right there, up, up, up, up, right there.

• 2:05:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Right there, yeah.

• 2:05:24Speaker 01

  Look at it.

• 2:05:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Page Six article, it won't make a difference.

• 2:05:27Speaker 01

  Look at that. It's just, once you have the TDS, it's over.

• 2:05:31Adam Sosnick?

  She's done with it anyway.

• 2:05:32Speaker 01

  No, it's over. Once you have TDS, it's over.

• 2:05:34Adam Sosnick?

  Pat, I'll just say one thing, today, you were fascinating to talk to.

• 2:05:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, absolutely. So anyways, there you have it with the stories for today. Today's, it doesn't feel like a Friday, by the way, but it's the, and with the hats, Rob, if you want to go back to VT merch with the hats that we have, folks, we had a couple of guys about 25 hats and it just, I can't tell you what countries it was, but a couple of guys bought 25 hats. If you haven't gone and got one for yourself or people who support their country and they're proud to- Where their country go support it for yourself and share it with others as well. With that being said, have a great weekend, Rob. Anything coming up? It's just a Monday morning podcast that we got and a couple of surprises next week. God bless everybody. Have a great weekend. Take care. Bye bye, bye bye.
