• 1:10Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, so we're doing a podcast. Rob, what episode are we on today, Rob?

• 1:14Speaker 03

  578.

• 1:15Patrick Bet-David?

  578 with a beautiful audience at 5990 Live. Make some noise, everybody!

• 1:26Patrick Bet-David?

  So, we decided to do it today. It's a grand opening at the lounge. Those of you guys that are members, afterwards, we're gonna go have some cigars, have some conversations. Probably the best part of the night is when there's no cameras, especially in the lounge, you cannot have a phone on. But it's where the conversations get deeper, but I'm excited about that. However, we haven't done a live. Rob, when's the last time we did a live, Rob? Has it been a few months, Rob? I think it's been four or five months since we did a live. The election.

• 1:53Speaker 03

  The election.

• 1:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, wow, it was election night. We haven't been in here since. No, we haven't. Election night, we were not here. We were at 5990. We were at 1200.

• 2:01Speaker 03

  The debates. When we did the debate watch party.

• 2:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you how I know we haven't done one in a while, because we had to put the sprinklers here, we had to readjust the coding for this to become a cigar lounge, bar, liquor license. That took us... We haven't done this for six months. So it's great to be back. It's great to be here with you guys. All right. Stories. We got a lot of stories. Let's go through them. Did you guys hear about Trump's tax hikes? What the new tax proposal is? Who's following that story a little closely? Yes? The first three rows, a little bit concerned about it, folks. These are the rich people that are worried about the types of taxes they're gonna pay. We're gonna talk about that. Trump said he's sick and tired of Fed Chair Powell. Termination cannot come fast enough. I don't know if that's a threat or he's upset, but we'll talk about that as well.

• 2:48Patrick Bet-David?

  California sues to block Trump's illegal tariffs. There is a name in there. It's a guy named Gavin Newsom, who sues, who happens to be one of Roger Stone's favorite people, by the way. I know Roger's a big fan of Gavin Newsom. Very good friends. Then we have Xi fights Trump's tariffs with global charm offensive. We gotta talk about that. China lashes out, says peasants in the United States. They called us peasants, literally. One of their representatives said peasants in the United States. What a thing to call if you want to negotiate. Let me read it to you one more time. Tell me how you feel. Make some noise if it makes you feel uplifting, if you want to continue negotiations, or you want to be tough with them. Let me read it to you, then react accordingly. Ready?

• 3:32Patrick Bet-David?

  China lashes out, says peasants in the United States.

• 3:37Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 3:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, couple guys are not happy. Will suffer from trade war. Then Harvard, uh, uh, Trump's going after Harvard now, says, Trump's administration asking IRS to revoke Harvard's tax exempt status. Is Harvard's $53 billion endowment big enough to offset federal funding cuts? We'll talk about that. Letitia James has an interesting week. We'll, we'll say what she's going through. Possible prosecution over allegations for mortgage fraud. LA spends, watch this number here, a little bit weird. LA spends less on firefighters.

• 4:11Patrick Bet-David?

  than homeless who start a third of fires, a third of fires in LA start by homeless, homeless people, yet they don't want to give the firefighters and take care of them, kinda weird. Mother of murdered Maryland women, Rachel Morin joins White House briefing. If you've not seen this, very tough to watch. If you're in Florida, you know what happened here at Florida State. We're gonna talk about that as well with the shooting. Very unfortunate, disturbing if you watch the video. The story keeps getting deeper and deeper. Two are unfortunately confirmed, I believe, dead and six are hospitalized right now as we're speaking. Originally, they just said six are hospitalized, but two of them have been killed and we'll discuss that story.

• 4:53Patrick Bet-David?

  And then next one here is the Florida, uh, story that was shared with me on Manek. It's a story that I think it's important for us Floridians to talk about, but I think this also applies to some other states. Governor Ron DeSantis, you gotta love this about the guy. Governor Ron DeSantis says these Highway Patrol folks in the state of Florida are not getting paid, but we should give them a 25% raise, 20 to 25% raise. Congress has no, in the state of Florida, they're going back and forth. There's a stat you have to know about where Florida ranks in what they pay for their Highway Patrol. I don't know if you know the ranking or not. It's embarrassing what it is and maybe we can make some noise and uh, get some people's attention with that. How many guys use Zoom? Anybody use a Zoom? Did anybody have any issues with Zoom yesterday?

• 5:35Patrick Bet-David?

  70,000 people reported an outage. We went through it ourselves. And then we have DHS deported MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, arrested with rolls of cash and drugs and apparently we learn about his nickname, what MS-13 calls him. There's a nickname for it, right?

• 5:51Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Is it Chili?

• 5:52Speaker 04

  Chile.

• 5:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Chile is his nickname. MS-13 nickname is Chile and apparently he's like a, he's a manager. He's gotten a couple of promotions.

• 5:59Speaker 04

  He's a family man.

• 6:00Patrick Bet-David?

  He's a family man. That's right.

• 6:01Speaker 04

  He's a Maryland man.

• 6:02Patrick Bet-David?

  For sure. Alright, Vinnie. You're about to, it's gonna be bad, but you can't, you can't mess around with stuff like that. Alright, so Elon Musk apparently.

• 6:12Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a story of the president saying, "What the F is Elon doing here?" Trump personally blocked Musk's Pentagon briefing on China. Is there truth in this? Who knows? The tactics Elon Musk used to manage his legion of babies and their mothers. Are you guys... This was Adam's top story. Adam wants to talk about this. And look, when Adam says he wants to talk about the story when it's 30 minutes late, we say, "Sure, we'll give you one story." This is the one he got. Did you guys catch that one?

• 6:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Below the radar? This is what it is. Okay. You can take it. Biden gave an incredible motivational speech this week. I mean, Tony Robbins was upset because he like outshined him, but it was just so impressive when you see stuff like talent. By the way, that's a once-in-a-lifetime type of talent when somebody can motivate as well as Joe Biden does. Do you remember when he would do his... You know, when he was on the road and he was campaigning, hundreds of thousands of people would show up to listen to Biden speak. I mean, that's unbelievable, right? Changed my life. Just incredible. You know what I love? Gullible people that think I'm serious right now. There's hundreds of thousands of people who showed up. How many guys saw the Blue Origin flight? Be honest. Did that not make you think you can do the impossible? He said, "You know what? I think I can do something big with my life one day."

• 7:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Right? Vinny, I saw you were inspired. Yeah. So Gayle King is extremely disappointed with many of us by the backlash of Blue Origin flight accuses critics of sexism. How dare you not believe they went through this devastating 11-minute flight? Give him some credit, Vinny. I mean, who cares that like... Who cares that men built the damn thing? They were on it. I love New York Post's title says, "Astro? Not."

• 7:56Patrick Bet-David?

  "Canada's first election debate opens with sparring over Trump, and Canada's Gen Z voters turn to Conservative Poliev in race against Carney." I don't know if you heard what Tucker said about Poliev, but we'll definitely play that clip. And then some bad news for people in Hamas. A depleted Hamas is so low on cash right now that it can't pay its fighters. So it's a pretty rough situation they're in there. I don't know who writes this, let me read the story to you one more time. Wall Street Journal, "A depleted Hamas is so low on cash that they can't pay its fighters." What the hell does that mean? We'll talk about it. And then we got a couple of other stories here that we'll go through. Having said that, for those of you that are watching, um, Minect. If you haven't yet joined Minect Circle, everything we talk about here on the back end,

• 8:41Patrick Bet-David?

  behind the scenes, the notes, what we're talking about right now, the notes that I have is in Minect Circle.

Okay, what story do we want to start off with? If we were to pick a story, which one do we want to go with? Since we got business people here, can we talk taxes?

• 9:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that okay with you? Let's talk some taxes. Okay, so millionaire tax hike gains steam as Trump signals openness. What does this really mean? Let's go through it. Republicans led by President Trump are exploring a new 40% tax bracket for individuals earning a million dollars or more annually. With a White House official stating Trump is open to the idea, but prefers a threshold far greater than a million dollars. Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Falken there said, "We are investigating and having discussions with Congress about a variety of potential offsets." While Treasury Secretary Scott Besse noted, "Everything's on the table to manage the taxable costs."

• 10:09Patrick Bet-David?

  The proposed millionaire tax rate aims to offset the cost of expanding the state and local tax deductions, potentially raising the cap from 10,000 to 25,000, benefiting higher earners in states like New York and Jersey. Besse reported, "Very good progress on tax talks, predicting performance for the 2017 tax cuts and jobs by 4th of July." Tom, what are your thoughts on this story? Tell us.

• 10:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, I think. Like we've been talking about tariffs and I said, I believe tariffs were tactics, not long-term taxes. Well, it's, it doesn't say Donald has an idea. It says that Donald Trump, 47, says, "I'm open to discussions. I'm open to the idea." Because what he's gonna do, they gotta pay for something. The SALT deduction, it's where people that are in California and New York get to deduct their state taxes off their federal. And people have often said, "Well, you choose to live in New York and California, you gotta pay that because you get a discount on that." You know, people in Florida, you know, that's not fair. And so what they're talking about doing, okay, you're, everybody's upset, we're gonna raise it from

• 11:14Tom Ellsworth?

  10,000, which they lowered it to, to you could deduct up to 25,000 of your California-

• 11:20Patrick Bet-David?

  What does that benefit?

• 11:22Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, the benefits, New York and California. But now then, the Trump people will say, "Well, Mr. President, if you give that back, we need tax coming in because we're trying to balance the federal budget ultimately." And so they're saying, "Well, what if we do a 40% bracket way up? It's already right now, but 37, 39, 39 and a half. Let's move it to 40% so that we can get some back." So they're trying to balance it. I think this is a head fake, and I think he's trying to get Congress to come to the table and talk by saying, "Well, I'm open to talk about taxes coming up." That's like saying free beer in a fraternity house to Democrats, right? They're all gonna run into that meeting, say, "Oh, my goodness, he's willing to do this." And I think it's, he's trying to open it up with Scott Besen,

• 12:06Tom Ellsworth?

  Secretary Besen, to start the dialogue and start the conversation.

• 12:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam.

• 12:11Adam Sosnick?

  So Trump wants to raise taxes on the rich?

• 12:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Proposing the top line being 40%.

• 12:16Adam Sosnick?

  Like if you told me that AOC was proposing this, I'd be like, "Yeah, obviously, tax the rich, tax the bitch." But now Trump is proposing taxing the rich even more? Remember the argument we had, a conversation we had with Sam Seder, he wants to tax 90%? That's not the way this works, Sam Seder. So, just backing up a second- Obviously, everybody knows I'm the biggest MAGA person here, like it's without a doubt, like I'm the biggest Trump guy here. We all know that, excuse me. Is anybody richer? Is anybody richer? Since Trump took office? I'm not. We all, I mean, I'm heavily invested in the market, I'm heavily invested in crypto, maybe Tomo because he's selling who knows what. But, I think, um,

• 12:58Adam Sosnick?

  the optics of Trump taxing millionaires and even billionaires is not a good look for him. Who's lost the most money? In the last literally thirty days, I would say, the biggest wealthiest people in America. Like, the billionaires are not happy about this. I wonder what type of conversations Elon, richest man in the world, doing the whole Doge thing, impregnating half the country. I'm wondering what he's doing, behind closed doors, when he literally lost fifty billion dollars, in the last month. So, um,

• 13:29Patrick Bet-David?

  What are you saying? Like, you went on this rant?

• 13:32Adam Sosnick?

  What's my point?

• 13:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you gonna make a point to us, like?

• 13:35Adam Sosnick?

  Listen, Pat, it wouldn't be the PBD Podcast- It wouldn't be the PBD Podcast if I had a point. However, however, it's great to see these beautiful people here.

• 13:45Speaker 04

  That was pretty good.

• 13:46Adam Sosnick?

  That's true. I just, I don't know why he would want to raise taxes on the rich.

• 13:51Patrick Bet-David?

  So, but did you hear what Tom said? But did you hear what Tom said?

• 13:53Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, but I kinda, fell asleep.

• 13:55Patrick Bet-David?

  But, let me tell you what Tom said.

• 13:56Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, okay.

• 13:57Patrick Bet-David?

  I love you, Tom, I'm kidding. Knock it off, you little-

• 14:03Adam Sosnick?

  My goal is to get Tom fired up, yelling at me today.

• 14:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's what Tom said. Tom said, "How many guys think it's a head fake? How many think he's doing this to get the other side to come and talk to him? How many guys think he would actually entertain taking the top to forty percent plus? Who thinks he would do it? Okay, so a couple of things that we have to be thinking about, that's very different. Remember the quote that says what? "I would like it to be, a lot higher." He says, "A threshold far greater than a million." Okay, what if it's two million? What if it's four million? So let's just say he makes a two million, you're making ten million, on that eight million you make between two and eight, you pay forty percent, three point two million goes to the government, you keep four point eight on that additional eight million. Should the government take forty percent of that additional eight million? I don't know about that.

• 14:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Do I trust the government to do more with that money than us? I don't know. Now, he's doing this for a couple of different things. How many guys here run a business? Who runs a business here? Raise your hand if you run a business. What's corporate tax rates right now? What are we paying right now? What's that?

• 15:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Zero for you?

• 15:07Speaker 04

  I want your accountant.

• 15:07Patrick Bet-David?

  What business? Yeah, who's your accountant? That's a very small business you run. No, no, it's called you run a small business, but you, but watch this here. So, right now, they want to lower the corporate tax rate from 21 points to 15 points. Which allows you to have that additional 6% to do what? If you do 50 million euros, say you have 20 million dollars in profit, that's 6 million, 6% additional, I can hire a bunch of other people, that's a good thing that they're doing. And they're doing this in a way to use some of that as tax incentive, because the one big promise that he made was what? No taxes on what? Who remembers that big campaign? No taxes on tips. How many guys think he needs to keep that promise? Who thinks he needs to keep that promise? Who thinks he will keep that promise? I think he will keep that promise. I think, Tom, I think a part of me thinks,

• 15:51Patrick Bet-David?

  you know, you're in the right, where he's trying to get the other side to come and want to meet with them. But what ends up happening there, I don't know. I do know if they do touch increasing tax rates on business owners, they're not gonna have a lot of happy people there if that were to take place. Benny, were you gonna say something?

• 16:07Speaker 04

  No, no, no, I, I, no, I'll say something after Tom says.

• 16:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, because.

• 16:11Speaker 04

  Way in on that, as a CPA, financial advisor, come on. I, I get the tactic part, tactic with tariffs, and we talked, um, who did we talk to, Eric Bowling, about how he didn't trust Lutnick and who's the new, the other guy's Michael Faulkner? Like, who, who's in his ear? Like, is this all Trump by himself? Or is he, the, the people that are next to him, the Lutnick and the Faulkner, saying, "These are the tactics that you should do"? Or is this all Trump's, you know, uh?

• 16:33Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I am convinced this is Trump's model.

• 16:35Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 16:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump sits in a room, and he says something like this. He says, "Guys, uh, let's just say we're on a guerrilla state office and we're in New York." He'll say, "I'm thinking about moving half of you guys to Miami to take over the Miami market." And he lets, what's that noise, by the way? Like, speaking going on? He lets, he says, "Hey, I'm gonna test you guys to go to the Miami market." And then he sits in the office and watches everybody react in a way. And they say, dude, I'm not going to Miami market. By the afternoon, six hours later, three people come in, the ones that have guts, and they say, I think that's a terrible idea. We're about to lose half the company. Okay, then we're not doing it.

• 17:12Speaker 04

  Got you.

• 17:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Or guess what? Hey, you know what? Shit, as crazy an idea was, five people already booking their flights. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I wasn't, I wasn't serious.

• 17:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 17:21Patrick Bet-David?

  So I think he is kind of doing this and watches the market, what they say on X, what they say with different stories, and then he'll come back and say, great story or not a great story, or some of the people that he wants to call them, call him to start negotiating. I don't know if that strategy is working with China right now, but I think it may work with this when it comes down to taxes, because what did Reagan say? To Democrats, every day is April 15th. To Republicans, every day is what? Fourth of July, right? One is freedom, one is taxes, so this may kind of get the Democrats who want to come and talk to him.

• 17:56Speaker 04

  And this has to be done by the 4th of July, otherwise the original Trump tax cuts expire.

• 18:01Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right. So let me give you some love letter here from China, Tom, and I want to get your reaction on this one here. China lashes out, says peasants in the United States will suffer from the trade war. Rob, I think you got a clip on this. If you want to prepare this here, is this the one? Go ahead, Rob, play this clip.

• 18:20Speaker 07

  美国一而再，再而三对香港进行遏制打压， 换来的只能是其在香港的代理人的加速灭亡， 最终必将反噬其自身， 让美国那些乡巴佬们 在中华民族五千年文明面前去哀鸣吧！

• 18:44Speaker 04

  I'm not eating Chinese food for six months.

• 18:48Speaker 04

  That's my boy. He called me a peasant. I'm, I'm not gonna take a chopstick.

• 18:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you play the last five seconds one more time? Just play the last five seconds if you can. Watch this. Go ahead.

• 19:00Speaker 07

  美国那些乡巴佬们 在中华民族五千年文明面前去哀鸣吧！

• 19:08Tom Ellsworth?

  That's what I'm, bro, that's fighting words.

• 19:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me read this to you, let me read this to you. Okay, so here we go. Um, Xi Baolong, great name, Director of Chinese Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, criticized US tariffs as extremely shameless, stating, "Let those peasants in the United States whale in front of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization", which is what we just watched, "in response to JD Vance's claim that the US borrows from Chinese peasants to buy their goods." Xi addressed the national security education. They called the US "the biggest sinister manipulator undermining human rights, freedom, the rule of law, prosperity and stability in Hong Kong, and a bully." He warned, "The US isn't after our tariffs,

• 19:54Patrick Bet-David?

  but our very survival. The Chinese people do not cause trouble, nor are they afraid of trouble. Pressure, threats, and blackmail are not the right way to deal with China." Alleging US suppression in Hong Kong will eventually backfire on itself. Chinese Foreign Minister spokesperson Lin Jian previously criticized Vance, saying, "To hear words that lack knowledge and respect like those uttered by Vice President is both surprising and kind of laminable." Tom, your thoughts on this?

• 20:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, first of all, here's what China's doing. Our VP spoke, so Xi is never gonna talk to our VP. Xi sends this guy out. Xi Baolong, Director of China's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office. What? It's like, the Director of China's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, hardly the Vice President of China. So they're sending out a lower-level guy to go make a comment, because China is very symbolic. They're very symbolic with what they say. And so, they're like, "Okay, your number-two guy wants to talk a little trash, then we're gonna talk a little trash." Behind the scenes, they have currency problems. Behind the scenes, they're still tearing down apartment buildings that they overbuilt. Behind the scenes, they are still about to have to deal with...

• 21:09Tom Ellsworth?

  Changing the demand from their largest customer in the known galaxy, us. And so, it doesn't mean that this is easy, and it doesn't mean that they're not a force to be reckoned with. But this guy, he's just out talking trash because J.D. Vance said peasants, so this guy's gonna say peasants.

• 21:25Patrick Bet-David?

  But let me tell you what's going on here, which is the one part that we have to be careful with because they know what they have that we're having a hard time with. Remember when we were talking yesterday? The fact that Trump wanted Greenland, why? Because the beach is beautiful? Because we're all gonna be going tanning there?

• 21:42Tom Ellsworth?

  No.

• 21:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Or because they have minerals? Trump wanted who else? Ukraine to come to the table, and Putin kinda hurt the speed because Putin's not working that quickly on the negotiation. And why did he want a negotiation deal with Ukraine? Because they offer what? Minerals that we need. Two of them were the ones to get the minerals, right? So watch this here. Trump's tariffs gamble put to test as China chokes off critical mineral supplies. Chokes off. So we need it. Nope, you're not gonna get it. Rob, is that the clip? Okay, play this clip, Rob. This is very interesting to see what's going on. Because the longer it takes... Guys, if you're gonna talk, guys, over there on the left, if you can, you guys can go to the cigar lounge, we can hear you.

• 22:26Patrick Bet-David?

  If China uses this as a leverage, Putin, Russia, Ukraine, Greenland, doesn't happen, a lot of business owners are gonna be calling Trump saying, "Hey, what are we gonna do about this?" Rob, go on and play the clip.

  In Vietnam, they brought the pomp and circumstance to welcome Xi Jinping. And two communist leaders walked the red carpet so Beijing could portray itself as a benevolent source of regional stability.

• 23:57Speaker 09

  China will insist on joining hands rather than throwing punches, tearing down walls instead of building barriers, connecting instead of decoupling.

  Xi's Southeast Asia tour was pre-planned, but he's using it to confront the US for what Beijing calls an irresponsible trade war and recent sanctions on Hong Kong, China's top official there said today.

• 24:20Patrick Bet-David?

  The repeated attempts of the US to contain and- Well, let me read this to you. China halted exports of rare minerals, critical for weapons, electric vehicles, and electronics in retaliation to Trump's 145% tariffs. So let me give you an idea what we're going through. We have SLAS next week at Mar-a-Lago. We have an event that's coming up next week at Mar-a-Lago. We purchased a million dollars' worth of merch that's coming in, and we have it coming in from all over the place, but one of the shipments coming from there. It's at the port. It's waiting there saying, hey, if you want it, you're gonna have to pay another $250,000 in tariffs. Not me, this is the fee. So a lot of people are currently experiencing this small little pain. How many guys are experiencing it yourself in your business? Can you raise your hand? If you've had anything happening with tariffs in the last two weeks?

• 25:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Raise your hand if you can. Okay, fantastic. Watch this.

• 25:09Patrick Bet-David?

  It says in rare minerals for weapons, electric vehicles, electronics and retaliation to Trump's 145% tariffs impacting US manufacturing and defense supply chains. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hesit said rare earths are part of lots of the economy. The rare earth limits are being studied very carefully and they're concerning and we're thinking about all the options right now. China producing 60% and processing 90% of global critical minerals impose export controls on seven rare earth minerals, stopping the magnet shipments on April 4th. The ban spares finished products, potentially undermining Trump's tariffs while US industries face production delays.

• 25:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Josh Ballard, CEO of US Rare Earths predicted, "I'm betting it affects a lot of the auto manufacturers fairly quickly." Anybody who's doing their assembly manufacturing here, there will be a knockdown effect. Tom, thoughts on this?

• 26:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Remember, I think we all remember, what did Zelensky and Trump supposedly come to a verbal agreement before the famous fight in the Oval Office? It was a ceasefire and minerals deal with Ukraine. And then they came in there and, you know, Zelensky made a couple snide comments, back with the media, and then he and Vance went at it. Remember that? So Trump, so this is one of the things where you have to remember, our president is showing leadership here. He was trying to get out in front of this. He knew China's gonna play this card. And he's trying to get out in front of it and saying, "Hey, we're giving all this money to Ukraine, they've got rare earth minerals." You know, it's like they say PayPal now accepts Bitcoin, United States now accepts rare earth minerals.

• 26:52Tom Ellsworth?

  You know, pay us in that, right? Pay us back in that. And then Greenland, he's talking about, "Look, you're not thrilled with the Dutch," perfectly thrilled with the Dutch, "and China's been trying to get, what? Mineral drilling rights in Greenland." And by the way, Greenland only has 54,000 people, which is basically a sold-out, you know, baseball game at larger stadiums. That's it. And so Trump has been trying to get out in front of these things because he knows the chess game he's gonna, he's gonna play. And I think people need to, hey, it's in a pinch right now and he's still gotta negotiate it, but this is playing out in front of our very eyes.

• 27:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me ask you.

• 27:28Tom Ellsworth?

  Finding out that he was right.

• 27:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Does this hurt Elon, though? Does this hurt Elon?

• 27:34Tom Ellsworth?

  Is this? I think so.

• 27:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so how long can he go with this pain?

• 27:44Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think? Because to me, we don't know the answer. It's not like you're talking to the guy every day. Can you text him, find out how long he can go? What I'm saying is purely speculate. How long can he go? Can he go a month? Can he go two months? Can he go three months? Can he go six months? There is a time. How long can he go? Because he's also got great relationship with China. Elon does a lot of business with those guys on the other end. So if this is affecting, so he's kind of in the middle where I got my business dealings I'm doing and we need these minerals. Where do we go get them from? Ukraine's not moving fast enough. They flipped. There are so many moving parts. The toughest thing about negotiation is when you're in the middle of a deal. And like we were going through this.

• 28:30Patrick Bet-David?

  At the tail end of selling our business. There was handful of things moving. At the same time. And it was not fun. And at any point, the deal was about to fall through. At any point. I'll never, every, any point for the last, would you say eight weeks? The level of anxiety and angst. When, by, by the way, when the money hit the account and we closed. We were in a room and when the announcement was made.

• 28:57Patrick Bet-David?

  You remember Merle's reaction?

• 28:59Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 28:59Patrick Bet-David?

  You remember your reaction?

• 29:01Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 29:01Patrick Bet-David?

  You remember the entire room, what it was like? It was as if weight was lifted. Now that's a small little business compared to a government as big as we are. They have 20 things going on right now that one doesn't work out. It affects this one. Panama Canal, China, CK. Hutchinson Minerals Deals. We need these chips. Nvidia Prices are going up. So he's kind of in the middle trying to negotiate all this stuff. I don't know. I don't know how this is gonna uh uh uh end up. Uh I do know if if you voted for this and we're pushing it and we're challenging them. Do I think China is gonna be willing to? You know? Go through more pain than us?

• 29:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Do I think China can be a bigger asshole and care about their people? Like, who do you think cares more about voters? Americans or Chinese?

• 29:50Adam Sosnick?

  Not even close.

• 29:50Patrick Bet-David?

  They don't, do they even vote? What politician cares more about voters? You know what I'm saying? Do they vote in China? I know. That's the joke. The joke part is what? Yeah. Chinese people look at their voters as what? Listen, you have nothing to say. Relax. Yeah. This is China. You're gonna do whatever we tell you to do. In US, you got midterms around the corner. So, there's a lot of stuff that's going on here. Adam, your thoughts?

• 30:10Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I'm actually in favor of what Trump is doing with China. I don't... I like the concept. I like the idea. I like the mission. I don't like the game plan. Um... He could have gone this, gone about this so much clearer and better and prepared everybody. So I'll make an analogy. Born and raised in Miami. You've, you've experienced hurricane season now, for a few years now. A hurricane just doesn't pop up in Miami. You're like, it's hurricane season. Brace for impact. You know, it's gonna happen in the next six months. And then when a hurricane happens, you have like a week or two to prepare off the coast of Africa. You're like, alright, cool. We got this. Get the shutters, get the wife, get the kids, get everything out of there. Trump showed up like a frickin tornado.

• 30:55Adam Sosnick?

  Boom, tariffs. Everyone's like, what the is going on here? And nobody, business owners, had no time to react. Thirty days, so markets can move pretty quickly to respond. But businesses are gonna take sixty, ninety, a hundred and twenty days to even realize what the hell is going on here. So in my opinion, I, I voted for Trump. I support him taking on what he's doing with China. The concept is, is a little reckless in my opinion. It's almost like... If I could give one more analogy, we had frickin', the Democrats drunk at the wheel, DUI, drunk on power and big spending. They're making our boys, girls, they're chopping things off. Everyone's gay, everyone's going, big spending. We're like, dude! We need a frickin...

• 31:38Adam Sosnick?

  Safe driver, you know, what's it called when you uh?

• 31:41Speaker 04

  What, DD, designated driver.

• 31:43Adam Sosnick?

  Designated driver, clearly I need one with my Ubers. Designated driver chumps like, listen, I got this, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't even have tattoos. He shows up, he puts on Dale Earnhardt hat, he's flicking off everybody, he's just speeding down the race, reckless driving, you're like, bro, you were just supposed to be chill. He's just going a little too fast right now, pump the brakes, let's take this back to neutral.

• 32:05Speaker 04

  No, I say he puts it in fifth gear, he keeps doing exactly what the hell he's doing. This is what we voted for, he's the only, he's the, he's three months in and everybody's acting on the left, like it's the end of the world. Remember, remember, World War III, North Korea, Russia, it's all BS, I said this, everybody needs to calm the hell down, let's not forget who China is, guys. They are our enemy, I hate hearing the word adversary, that's the same watered down for the enemy, the amount of crap that they do to us as a nation, and let's not forget, Covid, you still, we still to this day, even the CIA Ratcliffe has to say, it's most likely it came from the, that's how powerful these people are, that we still can't say the words, it came from China, it came from Wuhan,

• 32:49Speaker 04

  at a lab that we started with freaking Fauci, who got a preemptive pardon. I think Pat, stayed the course, they are our enemy, and you mentioned the chess game, who's gonna, who's gonna break first, who's gonna get the checkmate? I think he has to say, yes, we're gonna suffer, but at the end of the day, they are our enemy. You hear that freaking, I don't know what the hell his name was, talking shit and calling us peasants, regardless of the situation, that's what they think of us, it's gonna be a fight, and me as an American, I don't have this, I don't have a company where I'm losing that money and all that stuff, but who, what other tactic has worked throughout the years? Nothing, and they're gonna win, their GDP's gonna pass us in 10 years.

• 33:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you, I don't think anybody is disagreeing with that idea. Everybody wants to see this happen, but there's also an element of, are these executives, his executives that he's known for 10 years? Is his executive team people that he's worked with for 10 years?

• 33:42Speaker 04

  No.

• 33:43Patrick Bet-David?

  How long has he had?

• 33:44Speaker 04

  Months, weeks?

• 33:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Months. So guess what happens when you have that? So i- if you run with a group of people that you've been running for 10 years, guess what you know?

• 33:54Speaker 04

  Everything.

• 33:55Patrick Bet-David?

  No one's talking to each other. It's just signals.

• 33:57Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 33:57Patrick Bet-David?

  You got it? Boom. Good, good, good.

• 33:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah.

• 33:59Patrick Bet-David?

  So a part of it is also here where, you know, I don't know. I, I trust what the vision is. But on the back end, who's dropping the ball on the Ukraine negotiation deal? Who's dropping the ball on the Panama stuff? Who's dropped? This is a very good plan if it's executed. But the leadership team's only been working together for two or three months. You can say all you want. You put a brand spanking new company together with 10 C-suite executives from 10 different companies? Guys, make it work. It, it takes a, it takes a minute. So I'm, I'm a little bit watching to see who I can rely on. Because think, this is what I'm thinking if I'm the president. I'm sitting, I'm sizing everybody up. I'm like, okay. Is that guy really gonna get the job done that I need to get done right now?

• 34:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Or is he trying to run for office for 2028? Is, is that guy really gonna do whatever we need right now to get the job done? Or is he trying to fight for another job? Is that guy really doing this? That's what I'm thinking. Why? I haven't worked with you for a long time.

• 34:56Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't need to ask that about Tom. Tom and I have been in business together for, we've known each other for almost 20 years. We've been in business together for a while. But I, but I don't know this camp. So I don't know if this camp is executing this chaotic plan accordingly at the level of urgency you need. I don't know.

• 35:14Speaker 04

  You make a good point because technically he's, he's in again. This is a startup. If you think about it, everybody's brand new.

• 35:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Executive team.

• 35:19Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 35:20Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a very new executive team and you don't know everyone's motives. You don't. You don't yet know everyone's motives. This is a very heavy duty negotiation going on all at the same time. Some of it needs to close.

• 35:34Speaker 04

  Mm-hmm.

• 35:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Like when you have 20 pending deals that are open. You come to your executives and you're like, hey, you had four of them. When are you closing this thing? You said this is gonna get done. Why is this taking three weeks longer? Your deadline was March 1st. What the hell are we doing? Let's go. Hey, you have four projects. All four have been completed, guys. Why is this guy getting everything done? You're not done yet. You slowing your things down is hurting the other big things that we're working on. I can't go do this if you haven't finished up this project. What the hell are we waiting for? Do we need to find somebody else to do this over you? I think that's, that's maybe what's going on because if it's not matching the, publicly, you have to show what? That you're united. And then think about it. A lot of the guys that you have on your team are also business owners.

• 36:19Patrick Bet-David?

  So guess what business owners are looking at? Some of the policies that we're coming up with is doing what?

• 36:24Adam Sosnick?

  Hurting them.

• 36:25Patrick Bet-David?

  It's hurting the business. So they're kinda like, are they policies first or their business first? Are they America first? Are they their business, their own net worth? What? This is very, very, uh, uh, this is very complex. We can sit here and talk about a podcast and YouTube and, hey, let me tell you, let me tell you, this is, they're running the biggest corporation in the world with 10 brand new executives who have never worked together before. Go ahead. Run this biggest corporation. It's challenging. So I don't know what's gonna be happening. But a part of me is kind of anticipating some deals closing up. Close the loop on a couple of these deals. We're being told, I'm pretty optimistic the BlackRock deal is gonna get done with Panama Canal. Stop saying that. Close the damn deal.

• 37:08Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm pretty deal the Ukraine, Putin thing's gonna get done. Freaking fly over to Russia already. Let's get some of this stuff done. I, I, that's my concern. Adam, you have one thing to say?

• 37:17Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, yeah, um, I, I fully agree. As, as someone that runs a business and understands sales, you have 20 deals in the pipeline. Oh, that, yeah, that deal folded. That didn't come through. Oh, man, what happened with that client? Boom, boom, boom. Next thing you know, 20 deals, you have 10 deals. 10 didn't close. You're like, we better close these right here. What's going on with Iran with the nuclear missile deal? What's going? I'm gonna end the war in Russia before I even get, it's still going on. Putin's still, uh, bombing Ukrainians. Gaza, we're gonna get all the hostages back. Nah, they didn't really do that. Inflation, where are we at with that? So like, I fully understand where Vinny's at. This is what we voted for. I want this. I love that about Vinny. But also, we need to have like a measured sort of sense of understanding like we can't just be in the backseat with a reckless driver and be like, this is the driver, bro. It's like, well, tell him to fucking pull over.

• 38:01Adam Sosnick?

  And like, let's buckle up some seatbelts for a second, guys. So I love Vinny. I love, like, that's what America is, like John Wayne over here, like a cowboy. But like, you know, that horse ain't running.

• 38:12Speaker 04

  My question is, in three months, to panic right now at three months?

• 38:16Adam Sosnick?

  But you asked a very good question. Who has more time? Clearly, China. Trump, we have got 16 months until the next midterm. What's the thing they said in Afghanistan when we were there for 20 years? It's like, you guys have all the watches. We have all the time. China don't give a shit. They'll starve their people. They'll put people in camps.

• 38:33Speaker 04

  They are starving their people.

• 38:34Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, you know, so we unfortunately have what's called empathy and care and approval ratings. And Trump's gonna have to answer to somebody. And my biggest fear, if this doesn't work, you're gonna start to see his team of rivals be like, I told Trump not to do this. You're fired. It could get ugly if he doesn't start getting some W's.

• 38:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's why I think we need to know who's not doing the work. Like, like if, if one of the 10 executives or two of them are kind of not moving urgently, that story needs to leak to the public. Like, we need to know what's going on, because if you don't, everybody's gonna be blaming him. What's going on right now? Who's not executing some of these deals? Again, I don't know the full details of what's going on here. I just think some of them need to close the loop or you have more leverage to negotiate. And a lot of these things are tied to one another. Anyways, we'll see. Okay. So this leads to, uh, Trump wanting some good news. And what's the good news he wants? Donald Trump says Fed Chair Jay Powell's termination can't come fast enough. Rob, if you got this clip,

• 39:35Patrick Bet-David?

  play the clip about Jay Powell, and he's been wanting this for a while. This is President Trump. Go for it.

• 39:42Speaker 10

  President, on Jerome Powell, you said that the termination of Jerome Powell cannot come fast enough. He says he won't leave even if you ask him to.

• 39:51Speaker 11

  Oh, he'll leave if I ask him till he'll be out of there. But I don't think he's, I don't think he, I don't think he's doing the job. He's too late, always too late, a little slow, and I'm not happy with him. I let him know it, and if I want him out, he'll be out of there real fast, believe me. Tom?

• 40:15Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, as much as I love the guy that I've supported, um, yeah, if you want him out of there, how many presidents have wanted the Fed chair out?

• 40:27Speaker 11

  All of them.

• 40:28Tom Ellsworth?

  All of them at one moment have been like, "What do I do with this guy?" You know, "I can't executive order the guy?" No, you can't. And so, and then Jay Powell calmly says, "Well, our independence is a matter of law, and I'm not going anywhere." And that's it. And that's the truth about it. And so, what Trump wants him to do is to cut interest rates. But inflation has not popped back up. It's like a tenth of a percent, two tenths of a percent. It hasn't gone crazy. Unemployment hasn't gone crazy. We haven't had 100,000 people laid off from GM. So Jay Powell says, "Look, I move interest rates to help businesses when macro things, when numbers move, not moods. And you've got an angry stock market

• 41:12Tom Ellsworth?

  because it doesn't like sentiment. It doesn't like what it thinks it's feeling from tariffs, but we don't have numbers yet. And so, I'm not going to move. And I'm sitting here and I see maybe one rate cut, two rate cuts this year. That's all I see." And, and Trump desperately wants Jay Powell to cut interest rates at the upcoming May. He wants a quarter point cut at the upcoming May. Why? Because it loosens up credit for companies to invest and to do things. That's what every president wants, is lower interest rates for housing stimulation and for loans for businesses. And Powell is like, he's, he's not a cantankerous guy. He's a hard guy to hate, you know, right? He's like your, he's like your kind grandfather,

• 41:57Tom Ellsworth?

  Jay Powell, right? You, you can't hate the guy. He doesn't come out and say things that are bombastic. But what Trump's saying here, Trump could say, "I want that guy out and I want to fire him tomorrow." It's not going to happen. The Fed guy has a term. And there's nothing horrible that's happened, like he didn't screw something up to where you get people in the Federal Reserve to go, Jay, it's been a tough summer and those were bad decisions and you kind of wrecked the bond market and you did all these things, you're gone. That's not happening. And so unfortunately, I want, I want a quarter point cut. I think in the face of everything with tariffs, quarter point cut would help everything. But Powell's not going to move until he's got unemployment and inflation chasing.

• 42:41Adam Sosnick?

  Uh, I think he will get rid of Jerome Powell in, uh, May of 2026. Cause that's when Powell's term ends. And that'll be 10 years. So he's been beefing, Trump has been beefing with Jerome Powell since the day he appointed him. Like Trump's the guy that brought him in. He's like, why is this guy here? It's like, you gave him the job, President Trump. How, how, how long has he been talking trash about Powell? And Jerome Powell is almost like the flip side of the coin to Trump. He's very measured. He's very soft spoken, very chilled. Does anybody even know what Jerome Powell's voice sounds like? I don't. Do you know? Maybe a little bit. Um, I think that's actually a good thing. They're beefing like Biggie

• 43:22Adam Sosnick?

  and Tupac. Trump's just like, you're shitty, you suck, whatever. He's like, uh, keep the rates the same.

• 43:27Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not Biggie and Tupac. It's like Tupac and Sade.

• 43:30Adam Sosnick?

  Haha.

• 43:32Patrick Bet-David?

  He's not saying nothing. He's just saying cherish the day.

• 43:34Adam Sosnick?

  What's your favorite Sade song? Cherish the Day?

• 43:35Patrick Bet-David?

  It would probably be, what was that movie with, uh, Robert Redford with, uh, Demi Moore? What is that? Uh?

• 43:42Adam Sosnick?

  Oh.

• 43:43Patrick Bet-David?

  What is that? Decent proposal. So I would say Ordinary Love, but that's a technical question.

• 43:47Adam Sosnick?

  This is definitely no Ordinary Love right here.

• 43:50Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no. But what I'm saying to you is they have, this guy's not fighting back. He's just saying this is what's the right thing to do. He's a logical guy.

• 43:57Adam Sosnick?

  Can I ask you? I've been very complimentary of Jerome Powell. I think we've had a soft landing. Inflation's at what? Two and a half percent?

• 44:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 44:05Adam Sosnick?

  Uh, you know, rates, he's made some cuts. I actually think he's doing a damn good job regardless of what Trump says. What would you say about?

• 44:10Patrick Bet-David?

  So let me explain to you how this works. Here's how it works. So every year for the last God knows how many years, we've had annual conventions and we do that MGM Grand Arena.

• 44:20Adam Sosnick?

  Sick, sick event.

• 44:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Great event. 10,000 energies, hype, phenomenal, all this stuff, right? And?

• 44:28Patrick Bet-David?

  The moment the event ends, I start already talking to my executives about what is the new announcement we'll be making for next year, Vegas, 12 months later. And all I'm collecting is good news. That's all I'm collecting. I need good news on January 1st, when it's our kickoff. I need good news on February 1st, when it's our award ceremony that we do on a Zoom. I need good news when we're in Dallas, right now Train to Trainers is in Dallas. And I need the best news when I'm in Las Vegas in front of everybody to announce what we're doing. When it gets closer to May, June, July, and I don't have any big, great news, I'm not a happy guy. I've been telling my guys, we need some good news.

• 45:14Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the news? Comp, which is like taxes. Contest trip, recognition. You know, new technology, which is speed, efficiency. But I have to get some kind of news for them. Trump right now is trying to get some good news to tell. We need some positive distraction, it's the key word, period. Trump needs a positive distraction right now to get everybody say, but did you see the tax cuts? But did you see the interest rates lowered? But did you see this? But did you see the new jobs report? He needs that. With everything that's going on right now, he's got one thing, he needs some good, positive press. And this guy's not helping. If he gets some good, positive press here, what can he say as a guy that's in real estate? Did you guys notice right now the mortgage rates are 5.85% or something?

• 45:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, it's 5% for the first time? News, marketing, everywhere. So, there's a little bit of PR that we need right now with positive news with all the stuff that's going on.

• 46:06Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I mean, he still has 90% plus approval in the Republican Party, in the base. You're good there, he's good. Democrats are always gonna hate Trump, they have TDS, we understand what's going on there. The independents, in the last 30 days, have gone from 50% approval down to like 30%. So he's losing independence day by day by day by day. Now, Trump may not care because he's not running for reelection. But JD Vance or whoever's next in line might be like, "Let's get some W's over here." I fully agree. He needs to put some points on the board and win a couple of games.

• 46:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I think he's just looking for some good news. Okay, all right, let's go into this next story here with the state of Florida. So Rob, if you have this clip, the clip specific about law enforcement positions in Florida, let me first read this and then if you can put this up, that'd be great. So check this out. How many of you here did not live in Florida five years ago, but you moved here the last five years? Can you raise your hand? Wow.

• 47:06Adam Sosnick?

  Vinny, raise your hand.

• 47:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at this real quick. Watch this. I ask how many people don't live in Florida. Look at this. Where did you move here from? Scream it on three. One, two, three. By the way, I want the audience that's watching this, whatever part of the world you're in. We're in Florida, and when I say scream out your name, can you put the camera on them, Deli? Can we get the camera on them, Kelly, if you're over there? So Jake, if we can do that. Scream out the state you left in the last five years to come to the state of Florida. Go ahead.

• 47:36Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a lot of people.

• 47:37Adam Sosnick?

  I heard a lot of New York.

• 47:38Patrick Bet-David?

  A lot of people that moved here.

• 47:41Adam Sosnick?

  Stay in New York, guys.

• 47:42Patrick Bet-David?

  But watch this. So, so, so watch this, but the right people moved here. Watch this though. Rob, is this the one that breaks down the numbers? Does it say where Florida stands and how they pay their highway patrol versus all the other states?

• 47:56Speaker 03

  So I have a full news article, but it's about four minutes long. I also have this clip of DeSantis. It's about 10 seconds long where he talks about the raises for law enforcement officers.

• 48:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Why don't you, why don't you put that? And as a matter of fact, let me just read this part first and then play the clip with the governor. So Governor DeSantis calls that Florida House budget aimed at cutting law enforcement positions. And by the way, this story was prompted by a guy on Menech that told me you ought to consider this. And I'm telling this story because it is disturbing. So Governor Ron DeSantis criticized the Florida House of Representatives' proposed budget cuts. Targeting 84 Florida Highway Patrol positions and ballistic armor for troopers stating what's going on right now in Tallahassee with Florida House of Representatives is really treacherous. They all ran on this agenda. They never ran against law enforcement. I'll tell you that because you would have never, you would have been shown the door by the voters.

• 48:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Dave Kerner, Executive Director of Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, highlighted the low pay issue, saying, "The reality is, this budget will keep Florida Highway Patrol as the second lowest starting pay in the country out of 49 states." So imagine all the new people that are moving here, all the business that's moving here. What's priority to us? We left California and New York for what reason? We want to feel safer? We want to be free? We want to be left alone? We want low taxes? We want to raise our kids in a very basic way without confusing the hell out of them? Let me raise my kids. Those are some of the reasons. So now Florida's 49 out of 50 states? That's not acceptable. The governor knows that's not acceptable. He noted the average tenure of Florida Highway

• 49:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Troopers has dropped from 9.8 years in 2020 to 6.8 years currently. They're leaving this field. They're barely making $50,000 as a new job to become a highway patrol. That's nothing, by the way. $50,000. I'll give you the data here. Rob, play this clip.

• 49:49Speaker 12

  Their budget cuts 84 current state trooper positions, which, oh, by the way, I don't think the workload is going down in Florida.

• 50:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Was that it, Rob?

• 50:02Tom Ellsworth?

  That's it.

• 50:03Patrick Bet-David?

  You really don't like the guy, do you?

• 50:04Tom Ellsworth?

  He doesn't say much.

• 50:06Patrick Bet-David?

  He spoke for 58 minutes. You took 13 seconds and cut the guy off. This is like a personal shot. That's how you want to do our governor, Rob. Your thoughts on this when we're looking at the data here with the pay for Highway Patrol? And do you have any thoughts on this?

• 50:19Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, yes, I do. This is the governor we elected, and this is the guy that Floridians wanted. This is the guy that responds to truly the needs of the people, like hurricane response, everything that he's done. This is that guy. And he is in front of the microphone and putting these folks on notice, but more importantly, for putting them on notice for the next electoral cycle because they can't run from this. He's got to get this passed. He's got to get this passed. And the next governor of Florida, which is You know, we're gonna have a war for that, but we gotta, Byron Donalds wants to run at, this needs to continue because Florida will slide if services slide with all the people moving in here.

• 51:02Tom Ellsworth?

  Because what will happen is crime statistics are gonna go up. We're gonna have problems with that. And so, we need this. We need this so that it is a, it is a noble profession to be in law enforcement, and we need to be able to pay you. And if we're one of the more successful economies with all these people moving here, then we gotta get this done so that we can pay people, so it's an honor to serve the people in Florida, and it's an honor to know that they're being paid properly, because this is the guy I voted for.

• 51:30Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, you know what Florida's surplus was in 2024? Florida's surplus in 2024 was a $5.7 billion in unobligated general revenue. It represents, I mean, they have a surplus in what they made. So, what DeSantis is asking for is 20% pay raise for state entry of officers and 25% for veteran officers, including firefighters. Senate's at 10 or 15%, House is saying zero. That's what he's asking for, for the state of Florida. Do you have any thoughts on this?

• 52:03Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, I do. Well, so how much do law enforcement officers make in Florida?

• 52:08Patrick Bet-David?

  You can, Rob, do me a favor. Go to ChatGPT and type in, what do highway patrol, Florida Highway Patrol troopers make in this, yeah, Florida Highway Patrol troopers make a year? Look at the number here.

• 52:26Tom Ellsworth?

  Fifty thousand, that's nothing.

• 52:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Certified troopers, 55 to 65, okay? It changes depending on what area it is, but it's $50,000. And then when you become trooper first class, corporal, sergeant, then you're 65 to 80. And then if you're lieutenant or above, 85 to 100,000.

• 52:45Tom Ellsworth?

  What's, what's?

• 52:46Patrick Bet-David?

  But starting salary, 50K.

• 52:47Tom Ellsworth?

  That's horrible. Rob, what is, what's just average law enforcement? Average, not even highway patrol, just like a regular cop. Cause this is Tallahassee, in Florida. Cause this is Tallahassee, right, Pat?

• 52:58Patrick Bet-David?

  This is Florida purists.

• 53:00Speaker 04

  I'm wondering what that is. 58 to 65. It's not that, it's not, that's not that much and they're fighting for armor and plates and stuff and look what just happened in Tallahassee a little while ago and they have budget cuts like that.

• 53:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Kind of leading into that, that's kind of where I'm going with the story to that.

• 53:13Adam Sosnick?

  I don't, I don't know what type of person that looks at people making a ton of money out there and they can go into any field they want. They're gonna go to work every day, put their life on the line. They don't know if they're making it home at night and you're gonna do this for 50 Gs a year? Unbelievable, like, I have so much more respect for police now than I did after they tried to defund the police. And people are looking around being like, so what, what does that mean? We're just gonna get rid of the cops? What's, yeah, fuck the cops. It's like, listen, I liked N W A's song back in the day, but I'm actually not trying to like, defund the police. If anything, we need to fund the police. It's always the people who don't have any interaction or like, it's always like, dare I say it, like white liberal women that's like, get rid of that police.

• 53:58Adam Sosnick?

  It's like, chick, that's the first dude you're calling when you have an issue. And it's always the people who have the most issues that understand that they need the police for protection. The police have been so disrespected in the last five years. And you're talking to somebody that actually never really liked the police because I would always get pulled over when I did have a car get speeding and I was broke and I was like, how the hell am I gonna get my car out?

• 54:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, let me tell you, Florida's a safer place without Adam driving.

• 54:21Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 54:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm just telling you.

• 54:22Adam Sosnick?

  I do agree with that.

• 54:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Three years ago, one of his friends lends him the car. You want to tell him what happens? Three hours after a friend lends you the car when he leaves town?

• 54:29Adam Sosnick?

  Tell me what happened.

• 54:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell him what happened.

• 54:31Speaker 04

  Was it a Mercedes, Adam?

• 54:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, forget about it.

• 54:34Adam Sosnick?

  What happened?

• 54:35Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a reason why he Ubers. When he Ubers, like as much of a hard time I give him, we're all safer, folks. Like, thank Adam for doing that such a responsible decision. But I will tell you.

• 54:46Adam Sosnick?

  But we do need to pay our cops.

• 54:47Patrick Bet-David?

  The reason why I'm sharing this story is because the state of Florida with all the people coming in, it's important for them to feel safer. And if all of a sudden, these guys are not getting the jobs, tenure goes from 9.6 to 6.6, 6.8. These guys are going to getting other jobs for only 50K. Give them a raise. What is 20% off 50K? You know what it is?

• 55:07Adam Sosnick?

  10 grand.

• 55:07Patrick Bet-David?

  It's 60K. That's still nothing. To put your life on the line. It's like they're going from 50K, $100,000.

• 55:13Adam Sosnick?

  If they're gonna make that little of amount, the very least, they need to be respected. Like you're gonna show up to work, make 50 Gs, and you're gonna get disrespected?

• 55:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 55:22Adam Sosnick?

  And you're gonna get spit on. People are gonna say, who the hell wants that? Do you remember the guy that came up to us at the UFC? Think a year ago, the guy from New Jersey, he's like, hey, let me tell you something, guys. I'm a cop.

• 55:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 55:31Adam Sosnick?

  I love you guys.

• 55:31Speaker 04

  Proud.

• 55:32Adam Sosnick?

  I'm done. I'm retiring. I'm done with this.

• 55:34Speaker 04

  Yeah, because that's when the sentiment of defund the police and everything was happening. But if you think about it too, Pat, people that are joining to be law enforcement. I was a military police in the Air Force. When you do that, you love the job. You want to protect. You want to serve. You want to do that. For 50 grand, I don't know how many more people are gonna be signing up to want to risk their life.

• 55:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Not at a salary like that. Not at a salary like that.

• 55:55Adam Sosnick?

  Hell, not up in here.

• 55:56Patrick Bet-David?

  So this leads me to the next story. Rob, do you have the clip of what happened today? The report I have is that the Florida State University shooting, devastating news, is two killed, six wounded. That's as of 6/24. I don't know if there's been an update since 6/24, so it's 8:07 right now. Rob, if you want to play this clip, I'm sure many of us are following this story closely. We're in Florida, but Rob, go ahead and play this clip.

• 56:26Speaker 13

  Yeah, well, I mean, I came, we were over in the loading bay right here next to it, and started seeing everybody run. The maintenance guys were telling everybody to get out of the building. So everybody started coming out the back, and I mean, if they would have probably moved 20 feet further, they would have been on this side of the building, which is where he walked out. He came out, um... The shooter? Yeah, he came out, um, this door right here, and then he saw the maintenance guy who was waving everybody, and I guess heard him probably, and turned and shot that way towards like our direction, towards him. Um, there's a golf cart over here with a bullet hole in it. Yeah, they got a picture of it. That blocked it. Um, so that was meant for him. And, um, then after that, he turned this way and started shooting out on the green.

• 57:09Speaker 13

  He didn't shoot many shots when he came outside. It was only like four or five shots, but he shot like two at our direction, and then he shot like two this direction. And that's the girl he got shot in the butt over here that was laying down for a while. Um, they stretchered her off. She looked like she was alive, but I'm not sure. I hope that she is. Um, but then he went back inside. I should have probably hit it. I pulled out my phone and started videoing everything, came back out, um... I heard that there was a shotgun that never fired that they saw, so they had me look in the bushes for a shotgun.

• 57:42Patrick Bet-David?

  What other clips do you have outside? Is this?

• 57:44Speaker 03

  This is footage of the shooter on the campus.

• 57:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, well, listen. Warning when you see this. Do you actually have the sound of him shooting here?

• 57:52Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 57:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so if you're not comfortable with, it's not, you don't see the person getting shot, but you hear him shooting here. Go ahead, Rob.

• 59:19Patrick Bet-David?

  What's this one, Rob?

• 59:20Speaker 03

  This is students hiding in a classroom as police are going around banging on the doors. Students didn't know whether or not to answer the door, so they hit and opened up their cameras.

• 59:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me see this.

• 59:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, they don't know if it's the police or if it's the guy.

• 59:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Who is that standing up there? Is that the teacher? Are you serious? Was he standing like that the entire time? Go back, go back to it, Rob. Like, was he just standing, or what?

• 1:00:02Speaker 03

  It looks like he's standing the entire time.

• 1:00:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Interesting.

• 1:00:05Speaker 03

  And then I have one final clip of first responders grabbing a student and moving them off.

• 1:00:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it.

• 1:00:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, I saw this one. Oh, my God.

• 1:00:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, keep positive right there, Rob. Benny, thoughts?

• 1:00:30Speaker 04

  Well, I mean, first of all, you know, prayers and thoughts for the deceased, the people that are injured and the families. But I mean, this is just, you know, obviously tragedy. And, and, and I always take the step back to, to, who, th- this person, what, where are you in your mind that you think going on a camp? There, there's something obviously wrong with this. This doesn't just happen overnight. And we're not gonna know for a while, but the, the signs. Every time something like this happens, we always find out this guy put out the signs. He was talking reckless. And, and notice how they're gonna automatically try to go, the Republicans are like, well, he hated Trump, and he said he hated Trump. And the other side is like, no, no, Democrat, he wasn't like, what we need to do is first of all, let, let the, let the dust settle. But I wanna know where the, where the mentality is of someone that has this. What was his online presence?

• 1:01:15Speaker 04

  Was there any warnings? Because every single time this happens, unless it's a manifesto that we don't see for over a year because it's a trans person, which they don't wanna make it look bad. I wanna know, first of all, then there's reports that the gun, apparently, allegedly, Tom, the reports are saying that his mother, what was his mom, Tom? A, um, she was a trooper? Or a, um?

• 1:01:36Speaker 03

  Tallahassee police chief.

• 1:01:37Speaker 04

  She is active. Is she active? Like, she is, that's what she does?

• 1:01:44Speaker 04

  I want to make sure we get this right. Yeah, I want to make sure. So media is reporting.

• 1:01:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me read this to you. So you got the suspect identified as 20-year-old Florida State University student, Phoenix Eichner, is the son of Leon County Sheriff Deputy Jessica Eichner, a veteran with over 18 years of service. Phoenix has been actively involved in law enforcement, related activities including participation in Sheriff's Office Youth Advisory Council, and various training programs. This happened at 11:50 today. Two individuals were killed. Six others, including Eichner, sustained injuries and were transported to Tallahassee Memorial. And, yeah, apparently.

• 1:02:23Speaker 04

  That's not good.

• 1:02:24Patrick Bet-David?

  The story is that he used allegedly her weapon.

• 1:02:28Speaker 04

  Her service gun. Which is either, you know, the gun that she uses to go to work, or something that she just has on her own. But if you think about it, first of all, the accountability of him having the access to that gun is horrible, and she is going to be held accountable. What happened earlier, was it last year, Tommy? Michigan. In Michigan, the parents of the kid that went on the school shooting, they were put in jail, and rightly so and deserved. But I want to, what happens to a kid, what happens to a kid of that age that makes you, that breaks that mentality? What is being forced in your freaking mind unless it's drugs? And I don't know what the hell kind of pills he's on, if he's on any. But to make someone do that, and you saw him just walking nonchalant,

• 1:03:12Speaker 04

  stopping, shooting at two people, and keep walking. There's something, there's something about a person that makes you do this. I just want to know, who knew, what signs did he have? What was he posting and stuff like that to find it? But I think the mother needs to be held accountable. And I mean, she's obviously, she's not in good shape. Her job is pretty much going to be gone, pretty sure. Tom.

• 1:03:35Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm with Vinnie. Somewhere along the way, there's a sign that somebody ignored. And you hear later about these things. They suppressed information from the public on the horrible shooting that was in Tennessee at the school. And you later found out about the manifesto, and you later found out about the signs that were there ahead, and nobody did anything about it. Or they didn't do enough about it. Or they knew about it, but it wasn't, "Oh, it's really not my place." And now you have this, two problems here. If you have a weapon, you have the responsibility to secure it so that only you have access to it. That's it.

• 1:04:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Simple as that. And then, second, what were the signs with this kid? And who ran the red light of not bringing it down to say, "Okay, we gotta talk about this. We gotta engage."

• 1:04:34Patrick Bet-David?

  How certain are you there was some red signs, red flags? How certain are you? Because here's a note of what he wrote in Florida State University's news site. Rob, if you can pull up this picture. Is this the one that you have?

• 1:04:46Tom Ellsworth?

  No, give me one.

• 1:04:47Patrick Bet-David?

  I just texted it to you. I'll read it to you guys while Rob is pulling it up. And then what I did when I'm reading this, because who knows if this is Photoshop or somebody else posted this, this is him. "Once the protests have reached international... These people are usually pretty entertaining, usually not for good reasons." This is Phoenix Eichner. Look at this here. "A political science major said, 'I think it's a little too late. He's, Trump, already going to be inaugurated on January 20th, and there's not really much you can do unless you outright revolt, and I don't think anyone wants that.'" I don't know what this means. I don't know how you read this yourself. We don't know where this guy's at. We don't know what happened with the family. We don't know what prompted the guy. There's a lot of stories that stuff like this comes up.

• 1:05:32Patrick Bet-David?

  You see a pattern, like, can a person go from zero to this?

• 1:05:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Or is it zero to one to three to four to eight to eighteen to forty-eight to ninety-three to boom? Action.

• 1:05:44Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, you go back and look at Columbine and Columbine, what happened? We slowly heard the trickle of news that came out over the, over the, the long line of Columbine. And then you found out that there were plenty of signs. There was plenty of awareness. And it's just, and to your point, kids don't snap. A person doesn't snap overnight like this. They don't just snap. There's something there. Now, I don't think that one post by the guy is particularly, you know, volatile. But my point is, when we peel back the onion and we finally are given all, when the public is finally given all the news,

• 1:06:28Tom Ellsworth?

  as there was with the Tennessee shooter, there are signs and there are things that people saw. And I just go to the first point. It's your responsibility to secure your weapons so you're the only one that has access to them. That's it. That's point one. And then point two, we, we find out later, we found out with Columbine. We found out, shoot, just 12 miles away over here, horror, horror.

• 1:06:52Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I remember having this guy on the podcast a few years ago. His name is Jim Clemente. You've heard me tell the story before. This is the first guy that would show up when a husband killed his wife or vice versa. And he would ask them, so he's talking to the killer, he knows you killed your wife. But he's sitting there still asking the questions to see what he can get out of you. And I said, what prompts somebody to do something like this? Here's what he said, three-step process. He says genetics loads the gun. Personality and psychology aims the gun. Life experiences pulls the trigger. Let me say it one more time. Genetics loads the gun. Personality and psychology aims the gun. Experiences pulls the trigger.

• 1:07:37Patrick Bet-David?

  What genetics, personality is his? Experiences. Kind of a life has this guy lived? To get to a point to do something like this and you go into that school?

• 1:07:46Speaker 04

  And your, and your mo- think about, your mother is a high ranking police officer. I'm not, I'm gonna, I'm not, I'm gonna assume a lot of law enforcement leans, you know, a, a certain side politically. So I don't know where, and again, this is way too early, but securing your weapon, this, I don't know how, how fast was the response time of the law enforcement on the campus? Does anybody, did we know, cause I know it started, what, at what time, Robbie? Eleven fifty, I believe?

• 1:08:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:08:10Speaker 04

  Eleven fifty, I'm curious, is, was, was there anybody else armed coming? This is Florida, a lot of people are armed. I wanna know response time and, and stuff like that. If it's, if it's a no, if it's a gun safe, gun free zone? Cause a lot of the gun free zones, that's where people are like, oh, listen, if I know it's a gun free zone, I'm gonna bring a gun because nobody's gonna shoot at me.

• 1:08:27Patrick Bet-David?

  So law enforcement responded swiftly with approximately 20 officers arriving at the scene within five minutes.

• 1:08:32Speaker 04

  That's, see, that's Florida for you, which I respect, and they neutralize it. And think about, and then look at the numbers, God rest their souls, but two dead? If that was another place, if that was Cali or somewhere else, Tom, you're thinking about, that's 20. 20 people dead because nobody has a gun in the, but by the time they respond, it's over. But this is, this is, this is, this is not good and I feel really bad for the mom. She's in deep shit, sorry.

• 1:08:52Adam Sosnick?

  So, I went to Florida State. So a lot of people are talking about this, but I'm actually living it. Because I have a lot of friends who are alumni, I have younger, uh, friends who literally still attend there. We went there a year ago and met with DeSantis. Like, this isn't like a story that I'm just like thinking about. I'm literally texting people I know, are you okay? What's going on? She, a girl's like, yeah, no, I'm okay, man, I'm in class. Alright, my buddy, my, one of my best friend's younger brothers, hey, I'm okay, thanks, bro. What's going on? What's going on? This is the reality that kids are living in these days. So we talk about the mental health that people are dealing with. Fuck this kid. What about the rest of the 50,000 kids that go to school there? You know, Stoneman Douglas is 20 minutes away here?

• 1:09:36Adam Sosnick?

  Imagine those kids now. This is something that we never had to deal with when we were in school. Wondering whether you're gonna make it out of class today? It's kinda insane. So, totally understand why we want to make sure that our kids are private school or homeschool because the indoctrination in schools. But this is an actual problem. And this is something that we never had to worry about. I was listening to a song yesterday, it's so crazy, we're talking about today. You talked about Columbine, right? Do you ever hear the song that goes, "All the other kids with the pumped up kicks better run, better run, run for your gun." You know what that song's about?

• 1:10:12Patrick Bet-David?

  What?

• 1:10:12Adam Sosnick?

  Run for your gun. Kids running away from the bullets in Columbine. So everyone's like, "Oh, I love this song." Yeah, yeah, there was 20 people murdered in 1999. So I feel horrible. The place that was happening, I was in front of the student union, I've been there. Do Campbell Stadium, I've been there. Leach Center, where I used to play basketball and football, been there. Like, this is reality, and it doesn't really register until it actually affects someone in your life. So we make fun of the kid David Hogg, because he's like a leftist Democrat. This guy lost dozens of his friends 20 minutes away. Maybe that shapes his worldview a little bit. So, this kid. So, I feel like, you know, millennials and a little bit older than that, we don't have to deal with this. Gen X and everything.

• 1:10:58Adam Sosnick?

  We talked about the Anxious Generation, the book that you read? That you recommend?

• 1:11:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, awesome book.

• 1:11:02Adam Sosnick?

  Crazy book.

• 1:11:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Who's read it?

• 1:11:04Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 1:11:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Fantastic. More needs to read it.

• 1:11:06Adam Sosnick?

  Anxious Generation, great book.

• 1:11:07Patrick Bet-David?

  If you got a daughter, whatever you do, order that book, listen to the book. If you got a daughter, must read.

• 1:11:12Adam Sosnick?

  My biggest fear is that this is the story of the day. It's gone, you know, half these kids are leaving. She's like, "No, I'm leaving for Easter, I'm not even there." And then, boom, we have the weekend, and then the next frickin' tragedy next week. And what happens? It's, uh, I'm an advocate for 2A, but how long are we gonna do this in this country?

• 1:11:32Patrick Bet-David?

  What are you saying?

• 1:11:34Adam Sosnick?

  I'm just saying, how many school shootings, how many, are we just, yep, another one, yep, another one. You're referencing Nashville or Tennessee, the manifesto. There's been 10 others since then. So, I don't know why this is so common in America, as if it's like, "Ah." It's school shooting, come on, bro, it's Tuesday. We need to do better.

• 1:11:53Speaker 04

  No, but I understand, but I don't, I don't think it's a second amendment thing. It's, it's, there's so many levels, like I said, Adam, we don't know if this kid was on any antidepressant drugs.

• 1:12:01Adam Sosnick?

  No, it's definitely a mental health thing. But you're letting crazy people get access to guns.

• 1:12:05Speaker 04

  No, no, well, again, again, that goes right down, dude, it always comes down to responsibility that Tom said. The mother needs to know, especially as a law enforcement member, your gun cannot, your child cannot have access. He's not a gun owner, he's not a registered gun owner, that's not his gun, zero access. There's so many layers, Adam, from the mental health, to the mother, to the gun, but it's, bro, there's something inherently evil with you, period. If you think walking on a campus and doing it, because that's what people think, you know, people tend to forget. Adam, there's evil people out there. We're not, we're not living in this beautiful world and it's not happening as often as it is, thank God, but that's what it is, there's just evil people.

• 1:12:44Adam Sosnick?

  Everyone thought that I was crazy.

• 1:12:46Speaker 04

  I mean, we still kinda.

• 1:12:47Adam Sosnick?

  Thank you. Everyone thought that I was crazy when there was a shooting in Michigan, I believe. And whether it was a school, I don't even remember, there's so many of these things. The kid went to school, killed whoever, whatever it was, and I go, where the hell are the parents? Can we hold the parents responsible for when kids do stuff like this? They're like, what do you mean? They didn't commit the crime, how is that happening? And then what happened a year later? Parents arrested because they allowed their kids to do this, like, at what point? When you raise a psychopath, is the parent gonna have to be dealing with the responsibility? I don't know what happened with this deputy, I'm not even speculating. Here it is, Michigan school shooters' parents sentenced to 10 years in prison for not stopping a runaway train. That's my point.

• 1:13:30Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know what happened in this situation, I don't know if we saw it coming or didn't, but the parents better see stuff like this coming. You know, they say if you, if you see something, say something. Parents are gonna be held accountable if you're raising psychopaths.

• 1:13:43Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, let's go to the next story, which is another story of a possible psychopath. So DHS deported MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia arrested with rolls of cash and drugs. Rob, do you have a clip on this? Because it says it's, there's a clip on here. Yeah, if you want to play this clip, go for it.

• 1:14:00Speaker 14

  What really matters to Americans is that this MS-13 gang member, who unfortunately, Jay, you and a lot of your colleagues have called a Maryland man, when in reality, he's an MS-13 gang member.

• 1:14:11Speaker 15

  Wait, I'm gonna stop you there. What is your evidence, Tricia? Wait, I gotta stop you there. What's your evidence that he's in MS-13?

• 1:14:16Speaker 14

  Well, there's actually been two separate immigration judges, Jay, who have confirmed and ruled that he is a member of MS-13.

• 1:14:23Speaker 15

  Well, they didn't rule it. It was brought up in deportation proceedings.

• 1:14:27Speaker 14

  They sure did, Jay.

• 1:14:28Speaker 15

  But what's the evidence that was brought up in deportation proceedings that he's in MS-13?

• 1:14:33Speaker 14

  I can do this all day, Jay. He is a member of MS-13. I don't think you'd want to be his neighbor, Jay. I sure wouldn't. And I don't think many Americans watching would want to be this individual's neighbor. He's been involved in human trafficking. He's been involved in labor trafficking. And he should not be in this country. So whether he's in an El Salvadorian jail or a US detention facility, I am so very glad, as are millions of Americans, that he is off of US streets. Because remember, Jay, who is MS-13? They maim, they rape, they kill Americans for sport. And the American people are done with it. They said so on November 5th, 2024.

• 1:15:11Speaker 04

  Wow. Good for her. Vinnie? Yeah, well, I mean, I'm gonna... I wrote a lot because there's so much about this. And all this, just, just, guys, really, really pay attention. You do not, all of you in here and everybody watching at home, you do not hate the mainstream media as much as you should, okay? Every single one of you guys should add more hate to these people because they're freaking disgusting. And you see his face in that byline. And why do all of them look like that? You ever notice they have that face of just that evil, just... No, and I'm being dead serious. So by the way, this guy, this guy, Kilmar Garcia, okay? The documents were released that he's confirmed he was an active MS-13 gang member. And he admitted, he admitted being here illegally, number one. His wife testified that he was repeatedly a wife beater

• 1:15:55Speaker 04

  and that he was afraid, she was afraid to be around him. She said, "I have multiple," and I quote, "photos and videos of how violent he can be with all the bruises he has left me." She also wrote, "In November 2020, he hit me with his work boot. In August 2020, he hit me in the eye." My eye purple, okay? Then, Pat, you have Democrat US Senator, I don't know if you guys saw this, Chris Van Hollen. This guy flew to El Salvador demanding President Bukele to do the right thing, okay, to release this guy. He said he was illegally abducted. Guys, let that sink in, all right, for a second. A US Congressman, all right? Senator or congressman? He's a Congressman, a US Senator. Sorry, I apologize. He's a member, a sitting member of Congress,

• 1:16:37Speaker 04

  went to a foreign country and was begging to release an MS-13 gang member. Let that sink into your brain, okay? That's, that's where they've gotten, all right? And this is where the Democratic Party has gotten, all right? They're the party that fights for illegal gang members. They fight, they're the party of violence and destruction, all right? They're, they're the party that's okay with abortion until birth. They're the party that ignores victims and protects criminals. And that's why Democrats are at the lowest percentage rate in their history of approval. That's what Democrats are dealing with, all right now? And guys, they, you keep hearing this, Tom. They're looking for the face of the Democratic Party, okay? The hell with the face, okay? They need to find the soul, all right?

• 1:17:19Speaker 04

  They have lost their soul, because that's all, think of, think about what's happening in America. Look at, look at who they're sticking up for. Luigi Mangione, who, I don't care what, the, the, Brian Thompson, whatever, okay? He's a bad guy, let the court and let the law go after him. Murder, like, girls like Taylor Lorenz drooling over this guy like, oh, he's so cute and, and he's so hot. Illegal gang members. Carmelo Anthony, who we're gonna get into, stabbing Austin Metcalf. That's who their heroes are, all right? And I think it's ridiculous. And, and by the way, this is my question and I'm done. These guys, all the media still to today, is, help like, this guy's a victim. He's a, he's a father, he's a Maryland guy. What hap, where was that when Rachel Morin was murdered?

• 1:18:01Speaker 04

  And, did, did, did you hear any peep from any of these people when illegals from El Salvador were going around the country raping and murdering American women and children? All right? And do you guys know the story about Rachel Morin? Mother of five, she was jogging, and Tom, I'll let you do it, because I, I, I lose my mind when I think of what this El Salvadorian illegal did to her. Tom, do that so I can get into what the mom's reaction was.

• 1:18:24Tom Ellsworth?

  So, the mom was invited to the White House and... You know, this is Holy Week, and I think it's only the grace of God that she was able to hold herself together and to describe what the police evidence was, and she recounted that. And she was tackled or brought to the ground by the bruises on lower extremities, knees, legs, and then her head was struck 20 times with the rock, and then he dragged the body, creating a blood trail of 150 feet into the drainage culvert, where he flipped her body over, disrobed her, and committed atrocities. Yeah. Basically, on a dead body at that point.

• 1:19:07Tom Ellsworth?

  And the way that she was able to talk about this, shocking.

• 1:19:12Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, exactly your reaction is what happened.

• 1:19:15Tom Ellsworth?

  That's exactly it.

• 1:19:16Patrick Bet-David?

  One person reacted on this side, whatever you thought, that's what happened.

• 1:19:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep.

• 1:19:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 1:19:22Tom Ellsworth?

  And so, you're looking at what level of criminal is capable, not just of a crime, but of that level of a crime. And the MS-13 gang members have been indoctrinated into this culture of extreme dark criminality, extreme. And so now, there are individuals, the liberals and democrats, that are looking for their modern-day Che. You know, they're looking for Che. Che was not a good guy. All the people in Miami that are liberal that wear the Che t-shirt. He was not a good guy.

• 1:20:04Tom Ellsworth?

  You read about what he did to children, what he facilitated. He's not a good guy. But he's like their freedom fighter in their attractive t-shirt, because they don't know history. And what they're talking about right now, they want their... And then we're being gaslit. We're being gaslit. Do you remember Trayvon Martin? Remember that? Remember the picture we saw? That turned out it was a 14-year-old boy, and... The real picture of what he looked like when he was 18, 19, including the teardrop tattoos and everything, something had happened in those five years because that 14-year-old boy did not look like that and did not, did not behave like that. That wasn't the guy that was tackled by the police. The guy that was tackled by the police was an older

• 1:20:47Tom Ellsworth?

  version of him that had gone through just horrible destructive development as a young man. The kid that was there that you would look at, hey, that just looks like a kid wearing a Hollister t-shirt, you know, was, ended up on a dark path and then in a scuffle and got, and was shot.

• 1:21:02Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 1:21:02Tom Ellsworth?

  And so, yet the media wanted us to believe that it was this, not that. And this is, this is their Trayvon. They're, they're, they want us to believe, oh, he's a Maryland man, this and this. He's not. And it's all, and it's documented. And you get the president of El Salvador, sitting in the Oval Office and saying, you're asking me to do what? Did we see that yesterday?

• 1:21:23Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:21:23Tom Ellsworth?

  You're asking me to do what? I'm not gonna, I'm not releasing him.

• 1:21:26Speaker 04

  I'm gonna bring back a note, because Trump classified them as domestic terrorists because they are. Because to get into MS-13, what, you think they just go, hey, sign this form? No, they make you kill somebody in MS-13. They make, they not only beat the crap out of you, you have to do that. And, and, Tom, I'm just, I'm just.

• 1:21:41Tom Ellsworth?

  I don't understand. It's like, it's like they want another Trayvon. They want another George Floyd. They want something. And, you know, I believe there's dark forces that want extreme violence to be momented with all this. And it really, really, it, it, it angers me deeply.

• 1:21:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, you know, this is interesting that you're saying this, Tom. Rob, I found this article I want to send to you. And if, if you can pull this up, I'll give you my story while, while you're pulling this up. You asked a question earlier. What'd you say? You said, why is it that in America, look, I'm a second, two-way guy, but I don't know, maybe there needs to be something. Why are we doing this? Why is it that it's in America that this is taking place? The one good thing about what we have is data. Okay, Rob, I don't know if you have that article. Look at this here. The rise of school shootings in America, okay? So this is from 93 to 2023. Go up a little bit, go up a little bit so we can see. Okay, look at that. Look at that. Look at that number. Who was

• 1:22:39Patrick Bet-David?

  president during that time? 2020 to 2023, who was president? What happened then?

• 1:22:45Tom Ellsworth?

  Hmm.

• 1:22:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay? If, if you go and you look at some numbers on.

• 1:24:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch this, DC. Do you guys know the story of DC? Do you know when the first time was that DC had a mayor? And DC is one of the top cities in crime. Rob, what's the first time DC had a mayor? Marion Barry was smoking crack? What year was the first year DC had a mayor? No? Go lower. Go the first time DC had a mayor starts like in 1974. Go a little lower, Rob. 1974, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, you'll see it. Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, mayor. Are you on mayor or is this like? Governor, not governor, Rob, mayor. Mayor of DC, Washington history. Since 1974 till today, okay, this is it. It should, so each mayor all the way at the bottom, Rob. All the way at the bottom, doesn't have it, okay.

• 1:25:34Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a list from 74 till today. Do you know how many Republican mayors DC's ever had? Zero. So tell me, if your policies are so good. Why is there so much crime in the cities you guys run? Do you know what, do you know what DC's known for? The biggest disparity in wealth. They have the most people making over $200,000. And they have the most people making less than $20,000 a year. Who caused that? Your damn policies. So no wonder people are sick of it. Yeah, right there, 1974. Okay, go lower, okay. This is the one, right, look, Democratic, 75 to 79, Democratic. Walter Washington. Marion Barry, Democratic. Sharon Pratt Kelly, Democratic. Marion Barry back at it again. Marion Barry, after he got out of jail. That's right.

• 1:26:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Anthony A. Williams, Democratic. Adrian Fenty, Democratic. Vincent Gray. The same policies over and over and over again. And this leads to what happened with Carmelo Anthony. Yep. Okay? Who's following the Carmelo Anthony story? With a K. With a K, yeah, Carmelo Anthony with a K, true. So Carmelo Anthony. His so-called lawyer is standing here. The father shows up. The father of the murdered son. Austin Metcalf. Austin Metcalf shows up. Here's what he had to say here. Watch this, go for it, Rob.

• 1:26:56Speaker 16

  And all I'm going to say, so it don't be asked later. Is that was disrespectful. And just shows you all. The character.

• 1:27:11Speaker 16

  He was not invited. He knows that it's inappropriate to be near this family, but he did it. And so I say to people, actions speak louder than words. Okay? What he has failed into is the political operatives that want to make this thing a political thing of hate, yet bigotry, and yet racism.

• 1:27:43Speaker 16

  We have conservative operatives that have been posting nonstop about this case.

• 1:27:51Speaker 04

  Can I, can I, can I tell you guys, you guys know who that is? Anybody know who that is? That's Dominique Alexander, Mr. Self-proclaimed civil rights activist. He has a criminal history, okay? He's sticking up for Kamala Anthony, which includes a 2011 conviction for causing serious bodily harm injury to a child, brain damage, okay? Yeah, yeah, think about the resulting in probation, which he later violated, leading to a brief incarceration in 2016. Additionally, he has faced charges related to theft and domestic violence. And now he's parading around as some civil rights leader, acting as a mouthpiece for Anthony's family. Just, just giving you guys a heads up on who you, who, who is speaking for a kid who

• 1:28:34Speaker 04

  brought a knife on school grounds to attract me, that, to me? And let's just be honest, if you bring a knife, Pat, to, to an event, and you're a high school kid, you're, you're looking for trouble. I don't care what happens, because at the end of the day, that should have been, he was in the wrong tent. Austin Metcalf was like, hey, I don't know the conference, the moment, but first of all, if you don't bring a knife, that confrontation is verbal, or you guys beat the hell out of each other. That's it. You brought a knife, you stabbed him in his heart, he died in his twin brother's arms, and now you have Captain of bodily harm to children up here, talking as if he's freaking Jesse Jackson, and it's a movement. All right? It's horse shit, and you named it, Tom. What'd you say this was 2.0?

• 1:29:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Just Trayvon 2.0.

• 1:29:15Speaker 04

  This is it. This is it. No, you said this is BLM 2.0.

• 1:29:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, BLM 2.0, but Trayvon, they're looking for Trayvon. They're looking for their George Floyd. They're looking for their poster child.

• 1:29:24Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:29:25Patrick Bet-David?

  We are the victim.

• 1:29:26Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:29:26Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not what happened. We are the victim.

• 1:29:28Speaker 04

  If the role, be honest with me, Pat, if the roles were reversed, okay, be, ask yourself the truth. If this was a white kid who stood up and stabbed the black kid in the heart and killed him and he died in his brother's arms, what happens? Honest, honestly, ask yourself, what, what happens that day in the United States of America? Especially when they start a freaking, what, what do they do? Um, so, ready for this? They started a GoFundMe and it shut down, okay, because the, the, uh, they shut it down. His family moved to give, give so again, uh, give, send, go, raked in $400,000. Now they're living in a $900,000 home, apparently, allegedly they're renting, and they have a new car. And they're selling merch. They're selling merch. You understand what's, what's happening right now?

• 1:30:11Speaker 04

  They're selling merch. The people are selling merch to raise money. It's ridiculous and it's disgusting, and if it was the other way around, there would have been a freaking race war in this country. Okay, just let's, let's just be honest with each other. It's ridiculous.

• 1:30:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I'm looking at this right now. This says GoFundMe raised $450,000 for Carmelo Anthony and $350,000 for Austin Metcalf. That's what they raised so far. So the one who killed raised more than the one who got killed.

• 1:30:39Speaker 04

  Yeah, like, why, why are you raising money for the person who ki, like, what the hell are we talking about? There's a family mourning. There's a father, there's a mother, there's a brother. Dude, he was gushing blood in his brother's face while he's sitting there dying in his arms, and his father shows up and sees that scene. And what the hell are you raising money for? And that's where the BLM 2.0, what happened with BLM? Everybody that posted the blacks wearing was all tough. Everybody got duped. How much money did she steal? How much money did the girl that was in charge of BLM give to everybody? Bought houses, bought cars, hired brother security and shit. Got duped. And I hope if you if you posted a black square, I hope you've taken that shit down because it was all it was all race. It was all divisive. And who do you think was behind it, Pat? I had to do, if you don't mind, I did a little research.

• 1:31:22Speaker 04

  Every I I had to do research because this guy over here has taught me, then he followed, go backwards. Why? Why and who? Who who's behind all this negative shit?

• 1:31:30Tom Ellsworth?

  Go upstream.

• 1:31:31Speaker 04

  And one, go upstream. And the one name I keep getting, Pat, is George Soros. This name keeps coming up and he's never been dealt with. Okay? He's not funding a couple of lawsuits. Okay, he dumped billions. So check this out. Open Society Foundation poured thirty-two billion dollars into Democrat causes. BLM riots, Antifa, Tesla protests, pro Hamas campus protests, Adam, CRT in schools, attack on voter ID laws, open borders, soft on crime, DAs, Trump impeachment legal teams, and transgender in in classrooms. And think about this, guys. America welcomes George Soros, right? They they love him here. He's kicked out of Russia, Hungary, Pakistan, Turkey, Poland, Philippines.

• 1:32:13Speaker 04

  All of them kicked him out because of national security, but we treat him like he's VIP here. Okay, he gets VIP access and he got two-hundred-and-sixty million dollars from USAID to help wreck our justice system from the inside. Okay? And now his money is backing Justice Action Center and Human Rights First, who blocked Trump from deporting half a million illegal migrants using Obama judge and and Dira Talwani, and all of it's funded and planned to disguise his human rights. This guy is the enemy of the freaking people and he has to be dealt with accordingly. Period. Somebody has to do it.

• 1:32:47Speaker 04

  Who's gonna do it, Pat? He and mind you, and and and who was it one time when I was like, like he, what he did to his own Jewish people to try to get out of getting, uh, killed during the Holocaust. Remember that, Adam? Like he was ratting out his own people to save his ass. That's that tells you who this guy is. And until we, uh, because everything keeps happening. You're like, who's who's paying for these Tesla guys where they put a camera in their face, the guys that are doing the protesting? And they're like, whoop, what are you here for? And some guy was like, I I listen, they just paid me and who's paying for it? That's the guy. That's the enemy right there. That's him. He looks way worse right now.

• 1:33:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Tom, Tom, thoughts? I think you're exactly right, and I think what we have right now is there is a desire to create this massive division. And when you take a look, there are forces behind the forces. And if you go upstream far enough, you know what they want. They do not want a sovereign United States. A sovereign United States is the shining city on the hill. It is not, the experiment that is in the United States is working. And they want to destroy it, they want to destroy family, they want to destroy the faith structures that are in the United States, and they want to foment dissent. His own country, Hungary, won't have him back. Yeah. He's from Hungary. That was the first one, you know, we don't want this guy, and you know what?

• 1:34:06Tom Ellsworth?

  I don't think any of the rest of you guys should either. Well, what's left? Where does he go? Well, he'll figure it out. And you take a look how he, the history of how he bet against the UK pound sterling Weird. and the monetary system to destabilize it. He is a globalist that believes-

• 1:34:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Can I challenge you guys on this?

• 1:34:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 1:34:23Patrick Bet-David?

  With something very weird? Okay. How do you like Scott Besant?

• 1:34:30Adam Sosnick?

  The Treasury Secretary?

• 1:34:31Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you like him?

• 1:34:32Adam Sosnick?

  Seems to be doing a pretty decent job.

• 1:34:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, you like him? Adam, your mic is too slow, you gotta do some of your bubbles. But how do you like him?

• 1:34:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, so far about a, about a six. I like his tone, I like his style, but I'm kind of waiting for the shoe to drop because there's a little bit of background there that I-

• 1:34:51Patrick Bet-David?

  You give him a six? I think you give him more than a six, Tom, when you and I speak. You sound like you trust the guy, okay? And I think he's pretty solid. I think so far he's done okay. I like his temperament, I like the way he's managing. What job does he have? It's not a small job. Secretary of what? Treasury. Right? State is Rubio, if I'm not mistaken. DHS is Kennedy, right? And then DNI is Tulsi, right? But this is Scott Besant. You want to know the craziest thing about Scott Besant? Rob, can you go to his LinkedIn, please? Go to Scott Besant's LinkedIn. Go to LinkedIn and type Scott Besant. Anybody knows where I'm going with this or no? Raise your hand if you know where I'm, okay, so stay on this. Some of you, like eight of you guys know where I'm going with this.

• 1:35:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Just the funny part about this that, you know, I don't like to be spooked and jump to conclusion with everything. I want to kind of study a little bit more. Is there a LinkedIn or no, Rob? You know, you can't find something. Okay, then maybe go and go and type in what did Scott Besen do on Chad GBT before becoming the Secretary of Treasury? Just type in what did Scott? Let's just look at it together and we'll go through it.

• 1:35:57Speaker 04

  And Pat, his job, he took a Janet Yellen spot? This Janet Yellen?

• 1:36:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Secretary of, uh, no, that's, that's Fed. She was the Fed, right? Treasury was who? Was it Yellen?

• 1:36:06Speaker 04

  Was it Janet Yellen, Tom? Whose, whose job did Besen take?

• 1:36:09Patrick Bet-David?

  She has, she's had both jobs, I believe.

• 1:36:11Speaker 04

  Okay.

• 1:36:11Patrick Bet-David?

  So watch this here. So he was a tenure at Soros Fund Management.

• 1:36:16Speaker 04

  Uh oh. Weird.

• 1:36:18Patrick Bet-David?

  But watch this. 1991, Besen joined Soros Fund Management and rose to become one of the heads of the firm's London office. He played a pivotal role in the firm's 1992 bet against the British pound, an event that led to substantial profits from the Black Wednesday currency crisis. After leaving Soros Fund Management in 2000, he was there for nine years. He returned 11 years later as the Chief Investment Officer overseeing the firm's global investment strategy until 2015. So let me get this straight. So who works for a company for 11 years, for how many years? Go back, go back up top? Who works for a company for nine years, leaves, and then comes back to be there for five years? Somebody that hates the job or likes the job?

• 1:37:00Speaker 04

  Likes the job.

• 1:37:00Patrick Bet-David?

  So why would he come back?

• 1:37:03Speaker 04

  To George Soros?

• 1:37:03Patrick Bet-David?

  To George Soros.

• 1:37:04Speaker 04

  I mean, when the money's good, Pat, when it's, when you're getting what you want, you know, some people sold their souls for riches.

• 1:37:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you think that's what it is, Tom?

• 1:37:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Excuse me? Do you think that's what it is? Why does somebody work? Look, guys, you guys know where I stand politically. I'm not one that is very shy about where I lean. But at the same time, I have questions. So and sometimes some questions we ask is like, this is part of our values, debate. This guy worked for Soros for nine years, comes back and becomes the Chief Investment Officer. Chief, go back up, Rob. Is it Investment Officer?

• 1:37:38Speaker 04

  When he went away, the key group was funded by Soros. It's $2 billion seed fund.

• 1:37:46Patrick Bet-David?

  That's but so where are you going with this?

• 1:37:48Speaker 04

  No, I'm saying his alignment with Soros was pretty consistent.

• 1:37:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you think till today Scott Besen is probably friends with Soros?

• 1:37:55Speaker 04

  One thou- I would go on a hundred percent.

• 1:37:58Patrick Bet-David?

  But do you trust Scott Besen?

• 1:38:00Speaker 04

  When it comes to that, I didn't, I'm, that's why I'm happy that-

• 1:38:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you know about this or no?

• 1:38:03Speaker 04

  I had no idea.

• 1:38:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Who here did not know about this, by the way?

• 1:38:06Speaker 04

  And-

• 1:38:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so but does this change your mind at all? He's doing a pretty good job.

• 1:38:11Speaker 04

  He's doing a pretty good job.

• 1:38:12Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you feel about the fact that he's doing a pretty good job so far? How do you feel about the fact that maybe he has been in those meetings and in the rooms and he's got the right phone calls? Why would Trump hire him? You think Trump is in, is good with Soros? What's Trump doing? So where do you go with this? Do you automatically jump to conclusion to go in and saying, holy shit, is something going on? Or does credit go to a guy like Trump that says, I want to hire a team of rivals? Like the book that was written about Reagan many, not Reagan, Lincoln many, many years ago. So is that what Trump, is this Trump's genius? Is this where Trump is saying, well, if we're gonna find a way to make this work, maybe I'm gonna bring a little bit of this guy? Cause everybody hates that guy. I got one guy on here, OpenAI, Sam Altman, who's got very weird accusations.

• 1:38:56Patrick Bet-David?

  One, the whistleblower, one, his sister. Then on this other side, I got Elon Musk, these guys hate each other, absolutely hate each other, they're in the room together. How does that make you feel?

• 1:39:07Speaker 04

  Could I ask you a question?

• 1:39:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 1:39:09Speaker 04

  How would I do this? You're, cause I'm trying to, I'm trying to make every, okay, so Tom is, Tom is, uh, George Soros.

• 1:39:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:39:17Speaker 04

  You're Patrick McDavid, you own the company, okay? I am the guy that worked for him for all those years.

• 1:39:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 1:39:24Speaker 04

  Uh, and by the way, Tom has talked so much shit about you.

• 1:39:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 1:39:28Speaker 04

  I'm talking about that George Soros hates Donald Trump, like he hates you.

• 1:39:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 1:39:33Speaker 04

  Right, Pat? Um, and now would you hire him to come work for Valuetainment? For, after everything that you know he despises? You, I'm sorry, Tom's, Tom's.

• 1:39:44Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm with you, I'm fine.

• 1:39:45Speaker 04

  You know where I'm at.

• 1:39:46Patrick Bet-David?

  You're confused by Jay.

• 1:39:47Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah. Would you, would you hi- would you hire-

• 1:39:49Adam Sosnick?

  Diddy, that was a very clear question, just answer. Diddy, what's your point?

• 1:39:54Speaker 04

  The train left at 9pm. Would you, would you feel comfortable hiring a guy that worked for a guy for all the years? That despises you and actively has been trying to destroy you for all these years? Cause everything leads to him.

• 1:40:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so let me ask you this question. Who brought JD Vance in? Kelly, who was that for, by the way? You're standing there like you want to give it to somebody. Tom, can you give it to him? It's okay. So who brought, who brought JD Vance in? Who brought, who brought him in? I think it was Trump Jr.

• 1:40:23Speaker 04

  I thought John Jr.

• 1:40:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Somebody said Trump Jr., right? But who else likes JD Vance?

• 1:40:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Peter Thiel.

• 1:40:30Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:40:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Thiel was also a fan of JD Vance.

• 1:40:32Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:40:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Right? So if you think about that. So what, what does Trump do? What does Trump remember from first term? What happened first term?

• 1:40:40Speaker 04

  You can't trust-

• 1:40:40Patrick Bet-David?

  A lot of people got fired.

• 1:40:41Speaker 04

  Hundred percent.

• 1:40:42Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, we're about to get to 100 days. So far, who's been fired? The Laura Loomer situation with those six people getting fired, right?

• 1:40:49Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:40:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Mike Wallace, the Signal Gate, whatever they want to call it.

• 1:40:52Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:40:53Patrick Bet-David?

  But this time around, I don't know, I think he's taking a different strategy. Let me tell you, there is, I remember one time a couple of my guys came up to me and they said, "So, is this the real reason why we do XYZ and this is what we do?" And I'm like,

• 1:41:11Patrick Bet-David?

  "To try to explain to them, how much stuff we're doing behind closed doors, to get all the dots to connect, is so overwhelming for them to know that I'm like, "Listen, no, we're not doing that, but one day you'll know." It took five years for them to know what we're doing. I don't know if we're gonna know all of it. Just so you know, I'm not 100% supportive. I'm not 100% skeptical thinking this is a Soros connection. All I'm saying is, we need to know that this guy worked for Soros for 13 years. And whatever that means, I don't know. Then I can sit there and say it's a team of rivals? Or I can sit there and say Soros got a guy in? I don't know what that is. But to me, Scott seems like a pretty straight up guy, so far.

• 1:41:55Patrick Bet-David?

  But again, remember this whole thing got started with what? We don't know who these executive teams- That he's hired are working together or not. Great point. It's way too early. We were at the UFC, okay? We're in the room. It's me, Tico's there. It's so funny, Dana White meets Tico. It's the funniest interaction they have together. I'm like, you okay if I tell the story? So Dana meets Patrick, they shake hands. Dana's like, holy shit, you got some mittens there. What are these there? Tico's got very big hands and he's 13 years old, size 10 and a half feet, okay? So he's stacked, yeah. So, so he says, so let's talk about fighting. Do you fight? I said, yeah, he did jujitsu for about two and a half years.

• 1:42:40Patrick Bet-David?

  He says, why don't you like it? He says, doesn't want to say this, I'll tell you what he told me. He says, Dad, why would I do jujitsu where guys are on top of me? I want to learn how to punch and kick them to get them away from me. And then Dana says, well, at least you know your son's not gay, he's straight.

• 1:43:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Such a funny story, but we're there. We're in the back, all right? It's us, Breka, Marco Rubio. Tulsi? No, she's not here yet. Oh, not yet? Bobby Kennedy on this side. I think that's it, that we're in the back, right? Yeah, it's just us. And then all of a sudden, you see Musk shows up with X. You see Trump showing up. Then you see Tulsi, then you see Ted Cruz. Then you see, who else was there? Am I missing anybody? Oh, Cash Patel? Cash was there. They all show up. And you watch all of them together. They're all enjoying each other's company. They're all happy. Can you imagine? They're negotiating hundreds of deals.

• 1:43:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Think about it, for some of you guys that are like, man, life is just so busy, dog. I've had such a rough week. I just want to chill at the house. This guy's like, all right, all these deals that we're doing with people around the world, shit's on fire, market tank, let's go watch a UFC fight. Like, think about the way this guy's wired. And he's 78 years old. The card ends, I don't know what time the fight- Three o'clock, wait, we left at- Two o'clock in the morning it ends. They barely leave. Gets back, leaves, doesn't stink, energized, not yawning, fired up. Granddaughter's there and they're on Air Force One and he's looking at the, you know, the media interview and he says, here, go look at this. This is what fake news looks like. Look at all these guys. What do you want to tell fake news? Is there anything you want to tell fake news? And she's like, no, thank you so much for being here.

• 1:44:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Why? Let me tell the fake news what I think about these guys. The way he is energized, excited, getting all this stuff done. Maybe he thinks he can get all these guys to kind of work together and he's allowing all of them to fight with each other. Because he's running a hundred companies all together at the same time. And just, just so you know, what's the biggest company's annual budget per year? What's the biggest company's in America budget per year? Okay, so for example, Apple is worth what? Three trillion dollars. What's, what's Apple's OpEx per year, Rob? Type in Apple OpEx. Okay, Apple OpEx per year. What does it say? What's it say?

• 1:45:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Twelve and a half billion dollars in quarter one, which means what? Fifty million a year.

• 1:45:20Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 1:45:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay? That's the biggest company in America. You guys are ready for this? Kennedy, who runs DHS, you know what his budget is per year? One and a half trillion dollars.

• 1:45:33Adam Sosnick?

  Holy moly.

• 1:45:35Patrick Bet-David?

  That's not one company. Let me tell you what that is. That's one and a half trillion is thirty Apple budgets. One guy is running thirty Apples. That's what they're doing right now. And they're at a freaking UFC fight.

• 1:45:49Adam Sosnick?

  It's well three o'clock in the morning.

• 1:45:50Patrick Bet-David?

  To tell you the way these guys are running and gunning and doing what they're doing. So, I don't know what's going on. He's, he's managing all these personalities and stuff's gotta get done though. They're getting close to stuff getting done. Things gotta close. Things gotta close, so we'll see.

• 1:46:03Adam Sosnick?

  Was Scott Besson at UFC?

• 1:46:06Patrick Bet-David?

  No. Scott Besson wasn't at UFC.

• 1:46:07Adam Sosnick?

  Good. Get your ass to work, buddy. Inflation, okay, the economy, tariffs, you're doing, no UFC for you, Scott.

• 1:46:14Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, let's do one last story here before we wrap up. I want to do a fun story. Oh, you guys okay if we do an emotional story like a sentimental type of story? Do we have any ladies in the house or no? Ladies, make some noise. Gotta love it. They did this for you, what I'm about to read. You were their inspiration, they wanted to inspire you. It's very important for us to give proper respect to these ladies. Where are they at? Right there.

• 1:46:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Gayle King disappointed by the backlash to Blue Origin. Flight accuses critics of sexism. And New York Post, can you go to the New York Post story cover? What a phenomenal title. Whoever came up with this title, give this guy a freaking raise. Send him to the spa. I just want, just show the link, Rob. Just go to the link. Tell me how, this is not awesome. Astro Knot. Okay, look at this. Rob is gonna figure this out. Astro Knot: Conspiracy Theories Swirl About Katy Perry's Faked Blue Origin Space Mission.

• 1:47:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, so before we show, just show the legendary landing real quick, Rob. This is such a beautiful moment. This may be greater than us landing, look at this. Look at the way it lands to the ground, none of them break their backs.

• 1:47:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at this. Watch for, wow.

• 1:47:46Tom Ellsworth?

  Southwest Airlines lands just like this.

• 1:47:49Patrick Bet-David?

  The freaking music is awesome.

• 1:47:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Right, Gladiator type. Maxness. Look at that.

• 1:48:00Tom Ellsworth?

  My back would have been shattered.

• 1:48:02Patrick Bet-David?

  You see it? How sick is that, right? Just like motivating. However, there's been some critics saying some stuff, Vinny.

• 1:48:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Really?

• 1:48:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, I don't know if you have any of the critic stuff or not. Do you have any of this stuff on how they open the door first and then they have to reopen the door? And they have to say, "Go back in there," and then Jeff Bezos falls. Poor guy's tripping, he's having a hard time. Look at this here. Which one is this, Rob? Tell us.

• 1:48:25Tom Ellsworth?

  This is the door being opened from the inside.

• 1:48:28Patrick Bet-David?

  So can you tell, Tom, tell everybody here why they changed to make sure the door doesn't open to the inside? Before he's, go ahead, go ahead, Tom. Give us the, give us the breakdown.

• 1:48:38Tom Ellsworth?

  You've seen all pictures. What happens when an airplane loses a window at like 30,000 feet? Right? It's madness, right? All the stuff, you can get sucked right out of there, just like, you, I got... A guy Pat size will go right out the window like it's going through a meat grinder. And so when this thing goes all the way up and comes back, there's this process they have to do to open the door and to allow the pressure to equalize outside the inside. And so it's not just like you just open it because the pressure inside is actually lower. So you open that door, that thing would flip open and you'd have your bell rung. It would like blow you through.

• 1:49:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Open it up, Rob. Watch this.

• 1:49:18Speaker 17

  What is, what's gonna come out of, uh, out of, out of her, her?

• 1:49:24Speaker 08

  Look, they're like, close the door!

• 1:49:26Speaker 17

  And is that, is that Jeff Bezos out there right by the capsule? Kinda hard to see. That is, that is correct. That is Jeff Bezos or, or founder.

• 1:49:34Tom Ellsworth?

  He has to step up with the official doohickey thing.

• 1:49:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, what else you got? Cause there's a bunch of them.

• 1:49:38Speaker 03

  I have Gayle King claiming that it was sexist.

• 1:49:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead and play this clip. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:49:44Speaker 18

  I, I don't like that people are calling it a ride. A ride, you know, you never see a man, a male astronaut who's going up in space and they said, oh, he took a ride. We actually duplicated the route that Alan Shepard did. That's why it's called, this particular capsule is called the New Shepard. We duplicated that route, that route. No one said he took that ride. It's always referred to as a flight or a journey. So I feel that that's a little disrespectful to what the mission was and what the work that Blue Ocean does.

• 1:50:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Mission was.

• 1:50:16Speaker 18

  The new space technology. Mission fun.

• 1:51:25Patrick Bet-David?

  We went on a, can you put Katy Perry kissing?

• 1:51:27Adam Sosnick?

  Oh.

• 1:51:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, like the love for earth, mother earth. Rob, just show the kiss Katy Perry, man. I mean, that's the part. There's the rocket. If you don't have that, Rob, that's the part that really got me the most. You have it? Adam, your thoughts, because I know this excited you a little bit.

• 1:51:42Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, I swear on my life, I've heard nothing about this story. I'm not following this at all.

• 1:51:46Patrick Bet-David?

  What?

• 1:51:46Adam Sosnick?

  I, like, literally nothing. I don't, Katy Perry hasn't had a hit song in 10 years. Adam, they were freaking astronauts.

• 1:51:54Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, then don't worry about it. Pick this one out.

• 1:51:56Adam Sosnick?

  But here, but here, but hold on. The first thing I did see was you tweet, like, I don't even think this happened. Like.

• 1:52:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Who tweeted?

• 1:52:04Adam Sosnick?

  You tweeted something, maybe it was fake PBD, holy shit. Oh, no, you, it was a wrong PBD.

• 1:52:08Patrick Bet-David?

  That's not me.

• 1:52:09Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 1:52:09Patrick Bet-David?

  I tweeted? I never tweeted this to happen.

• 1:52:12Adam Sosnick?

  Is there a fake PBD account?

• 1:52:13Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a, there's an account called.

• 1:52:15Adam Sosnick?

  He got me.

• 1:52:15Patrick Bet-David?

  PBD.

• 1:52:16Adam Sosnick?

  He got me.

• 1:52:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he really tweet this?

• 1:52:18Adam Sosnick?

  And he said, did anybody see that? Okay, help me out here, buddy, I'm drowning.

• 1:52:26Adam Sosnick?

  Speak loudly. What did the tweet say?

• 1:52:34Adam Sosnick?

  Good job, buddy. All it said was, I, is I'm not the only person that's skeptical of this thing even happened. And I was like, what, what's this? Katy Perry's a space astronaut now?

• 1:52:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 1:52:43Adam Sosnick?

  What do you think actually happened? Is what I'm asking.

• 1:52:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me just see Katy Perry kissing the ground. Go ahead, Rob. Oh my God, listen, this is a moment. Look at this moment.

• 1:52:53Speaker 04

  She has a flower.

• 1:52:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at this moment, look at this. Katie.

• 1:52:58Adam Sosnick?

  So awesome. So, okay, so Vinny, what thoughts do you have about this one?

• 1:53:04Speaker 04

  I mean, that almost got me emotional, but, um, first of all, did you know, guys know how much it costs, like on, like, the, like, reports say how much passengers pay for these flights? This isn't free. You know that, right? Does anybody know the, the range of prices? Alright, so, so passengers have paid anywhere from 200,000 to a million, depending on the flight and who's on board. This one was probably up there.

• 1:53:28Adam Sosnick?

  Let's do it, let's do it.

• 1:53:29Speaker 04

  Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm in. I love roller coaster rides. The first seat ever auctioned, you know how much, you know how much the first seat was auctioned for ever when they went? $28 million to do that. And by the way, this whole crazy ride, it wasn't 11 minutes, it was 10 minutes and 21 seconds, alright?

• 1:53:46Adam Sosnick?

  Thank you for clarifying, yeah.

• 1:53:47Speaker 04

  Yeah, and it wasn't space travel. Okay, check this out, guys. They technically crossed the Karman line, which is 62 miles, but they hit, they hit it for a moment, an apogee, but with no orbital insertion, okay? Which the rocket looked pretty weird.

• 1:54:00Adam Sosnick?

  Sounds hot.

• 1:54:00Speaker 04

  Anyway, I'm sorry.

• 1:54:01Adam Sosnick?

  Sounds real hot, Vinny.

• 1:54:02Speaker 04

  There's kids here.

• 1:54:02Adam Sosnick?

  Orbital insertion.

• 1:54:03Speaker 04

  And immediately dropped back to Earth. So the weightlessness, if you guys see the, the weightlessness that they experienced was just free fall. Like, the top of a roller coaster, you know that, the top that you hit? That's what they experienced, okay? Real astronauts on the ISS experienced it. They, they hit a microgravity. They didn't, okay? And that, what pissed me off about what Gayle, Gayle, you know what Gayle King said? She said, "This was gonna inspire women to be astronauts."

• 1:54:28Adam Sosnick?

  Is that?

• 1:54:29Speaker 04

  No, yeah.

• 1:54:29Adam Sosnick?

  Is that Lauren Sanchez on the left?

• 1:54:31Speaker 04

  Yeah, that's Lauren Sanchez.

• 1:54:31Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, that's Jeff Bezos' fiancee?

• 1:54:33Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:54:33Adam Sosnick?

  Where the hell?

• 1:54:34Speaker 04

  Adam, Adam Hyde, 2025. Where the hell have you been?

• 1:54:37Adam Sosnick?

  He's just funding his girlfriend's lifestyle. I get it. Done. Makes sense.

• 1:54:42Speaker 04

  But this is what pissed me off about Gayle King. She said, "I, this is gonna inspire women to be astronauts." Why would you wanna do that? So they could go into space and be stranded for nine months like Sunita Williams and Barry Bollmore? Remember that? Guys, think about this. We just had two astronauts, real astronauts, not these fantastic cosmonauts. We had freaking two people stranded for nine months that Biden wasn't gonna get because Elon wanted to help. They left their asses up there to die. This is getting way more news than that.

• 1:55:14Tom Ellsworth?

  Should've changed the name NASA to nada.

• 1:55:16Speaker 04

  The nada.

• 1:55:16Tom Ellsworth?

  Are we coming back on a flight? Nada.

• 1:55:19Speaker 04

  Yeah. And Tom, what was your analogy with all this?

• 1:55:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, with all this? How many people think this really happened? How many people think it's like CGI fake all the way?

• 1:55:28Speaker 04

  I don't believe all of it.

• 1:55:29Tom Ellsworth?

  I think it's a fake capsule with fake people, celebrities, fake boobs, fake lips, fake landing, after a fake launch in a rocket that looks like a schlong. You know, it's like...

• 1:55:40Speaker 04

  And by, yeah, by the way, Tom, congratulations. Guys, no footage of the inside when they launched.

• 1:55:46Patrick Bet-David?

  It's getting late.

• 1:55:46Speaker 04

  Wouldn't you want...

• 1:55:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom wants a cigar. He wants a drink.

• 1:55:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, he does. No helmets, right? No helmets. The landing, even though it was big on impact, actually, you know, guys, you saw that nitrogen explosion? That's normal, the stuff in the landing. You're still gonna be hitting hard. No helmets. And yeah, where's the... There's no footage of the inside. There's actually one, Rob. Look at that, guys. My back would have shattered. My sciatic nerve. Mom, you know what's up.

• 1:56:14Speaker 04

  But, Rob, can you find... By the way, there's one photo. There's one photo of a hand, and it's a black female's hand. Tell me it doesn't look like it's a mannequin hand. Can you find that, Rob? Could you find that photo? Just put mannequin hand. It looks so fake inside. Let me see if Rob could find it. Look at that. Zoom in on that. That's a plastic fake hand. What is that? That looks like a friggin', right? It goes like a mannequin. What? I don't believe it. I don't believe it, guys. Hold on. If you're gonna do this mission and celebrate in a flower in mid-flight, where's the launch? Don't you wanna be in there? Where's that footage? That's what I wanna see.

• 1:56:52Adam Sosnick?

  Why don't you issue a challenge to Jeff Bezos and like, put your money where your mouth is, send me to space?

• 1:56:56Speaker 04

  We're not, we're not, we're not...

• 1:56:57Adam Sosnick?

  See if he'll do it to you.

• 1:56:58Speaker 04

  We're not on talking terms right now. I got some big...

• 1:56:59Patrick Bet-David?

  What is this, Rob?

• 1:56:59Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, this was the thing that allegedly PBD posted.

• 1:57:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Stop it. You think I would post something like that?

• 1:57:04Adam Sosnick?

  Can somebody pull that up?

• 1:57:05Speaker 04

  You wouldn't do that, but look at that patch.

• 1:57:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Whoever runs this not PBD account. What does he say?

• 1:57:09Speaker 04

  Patrick...

• 1:57:10Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, it was the parody account. They got me. They got me.

• 1:57:16Speaker 04

  Freaking Adam.

• 1:57:19Patrick Bet-David?

  What is this Rob?

• 1:57:21Adam Sosnick?

  This is the fake PBD account that I fell for.

• 1:57:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, because you know what? You don't pay attention to launches. You don't know what the hell is...

• 1:57:27Patrick Bet-David?

  What is this? Show me.

• 1:57:28Speaker 04

  So this is a patch on their shirt. On her, uh...

• 1:57:31Adam Sosnick?

  Satan, bro.

• 1:57:31Speaker 04

  On her, um...

• 1:57:33Patrick Bet-David?

  That says what? That says this is like the Satan backwards or whatever?

• 1:57:36Adam Sosnick?

  Well, read the caption if you don't mind.

• 1:57:39Speaker 04

  This is happening way too...

• 1:57:40Adam Sosnick?

  Rob, this is happening way too often. To be a coincidence. And it's...

• 1:57:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, not PBD is better at tweeting than PBD.

• 1:57:49Speaker 04

  That God Adam.

• 1:57:50Adam Sosnick?

  I just realized I'm not even following you. I'm following fake PBD. And just, I'm going around...

• 1:57:54Patrick Bet-David?

  That is so funny.

• 1:57:55Adam Sosnick?

  You see what my boss said? That's my guy.

• 1:57:57Patrick Bet-David?

  That is so...

• 1:57:57Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, it was all Satan. What?

• 1:57:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Funny.

• 1:57:59Adam Sosnick?

  Anyway.

• 1:58:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Anyway.

• 1:58:01Adam Sosnick?

  Let's go to space, dude.

• 1:58:02Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the last story. If they did or if they did not, funny as hell. I'm not sure it's gonna inspire anybody to be an astronaut with that story. Uh, gang, for everybody out there that you're with us still. Uh, today is Thursday. Tomorrow is Easter. Happy Easter, everybody. Enjoy it with your family. Enjoy the weekend. And to everybody that's here, VIPs, we're about to go to the cigar lounge. Have a drink, have a cigar, have some good conversations. Everybody else...

• 1:58:29Speaker 04

  Tomorrow's Good Friday.

• 1:58:30Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm sorry.

• 1:58:31Speaker 04

  Easter Sunday.

• 1:58:31Patrick Bet-David?

  I am so sorry.

• 1:58:31Speaker 04

  I gotta correct you.

• 1:58:32Patrick Bet-David?

  You know why I said Easter? You know why I said Easter? Why do you think I said Easter?

• 1:58:36Adam Sosnick?

  Because you're thinking of Passover or something like that?

• 1:58:37Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, because Jennifer's... We're looking at scheduling calendar with the kids of what two, three events we're going to. We have, we have the Derby going on. We have SLS going on. We have Easter going on. We have all this stuff going on, but tomorrow's Good Friday. Enjoy the day with your families. But, uh, we're gonna go out there in the back right now with the cigar lounge. All the premium and generals, thanks for coming out. Have a good night, everybody, everybody out there. Uh, we will be doing many more of these. And this next time, when we announce to the public, we'll give you more than two day warning. Next time we'll announce it four weeks in advance when we do this. Reason for it, somebody was supposed to be here with us tonight. It'll be announced here soon. It'll be the next one that we'll be doing here together. God bless everybody. Take care. Bye bye, bye bye.
