  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians healthcare to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side.

  Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here.

• 1:16Patrick Bet-David?

  You are a one of one?

• 1:17Speaker 02

  My son's right there.

• 1:18Speaker 04

  I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 1:24Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, folks, got some bad news for you. Apparently Ward got out that Nancy Pelosi is going to retire next year. What?

• 1:31Speaker 05

  What?

• 1:32Patrick Bet-David?

  No. I didn't want to break it to you like that. Wait, she's serious? No, she is next year as the greatest traitor of all time in the history of Congress. Oh, my gosh. I think Wall Street is probably going to recognize her for her ability to get access to information that others couldn't. Her due diligence and research capabilities are second to none. And you know what she was able to do it? While staying ethical, allegedly. So, but anyways, again, I hate, I hate doing this. I hate starting the podcast with bad news, but I had to do it. She's at 26% since July 1st. By the way, her portfolio that Tom has invested $50,000 in, just to see how great of an investor she is, since July, not for the year. I was with him when he started it. What's the rate of return since July?

• 2:17Patrick Bet-David?

  26.2% since July 1st. And by the way, listen, forget Warren Buffett, forget all these guys. She's the GOAT. I don't think she gets enough credit, but.

• 2:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Where's the market been since July?

• 2:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump calls out, Trump calls out. Mamdani's very angry acceptance speech warrants communism never worked anywhere. Jeffrey Epstein claimed, you ready for this one, folks? Maureen Comey, the daughter of James Comey, would let Epstein free if, if he implicated Trump.

• 2:52Tom Ellsworth?

  Also, the dossier didn't work, and so let's see if we can get a felon.

• 2:55Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right, the ex-cellmate.

• 2:57Tom Ellsworth?

  Get somebody to rap, you know?

• 2:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Pelosi calls Trump the worst thing on the face of the earth while she's getting ready to retire. Trump says Mamdani should reach out to him, has to be a little bit respectful of Washington. CNN anchor pushes back on liberal critics. My job is not to take down Trump. You will not believe who that is, who said something like that. Top Trump political advisor says president will focus on affordability going forward. Marjorie Taylor Greene tells allies she's running for president in 2028 as firebrand reinvention gains momentum, and Tom has some insight on that. FAA, you ready for this one? Slashing 10% of US flights in 40 major cities as historic government shutdown drags on.

• 3:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Governor Senator Kennedy to introduce bills to withhold pay from lawmakers during government shutdown. Mamdani wants more money, well, less than 24 hours after getting elected. Vinnie's got some thoughts on that one. Charlemagne tells Van Jones to shut up over Mamdani's speech criticism, and he said it like that, apparently. Families are fleeing. New York City's private schools following Mamdani's victory, competing for coveted Miami spots. We're having dinner last night with this couple, not with the couple, the couple sitting next to us, and after they're done having dinner, I wish them a happy 37th anniversary. She says, well, listen, we were listening to you guys' conversation. Are you guys from Greenwich? We're like, no, our friend here is from Greenwich. Greg was with us, we're having dinner.

• 4:28Patrick Bet-David?

  They start telling us how things are in New York. He was, he's been a cop for New York. For god knows how many years and the stuff they were talking about with New Yorkers, friends, family, their daughters was very interesting. Mamdani taps big tech antagonist Lena Canas to co-chair mayoral transition team. Deb Portnoy destroys Mamdani after election win and threatens to move Barstool out of New York City. Democrat Ron Houston rolls out of red carpet for New York cops disgusted with Mamdani's victory. There should be flashing red lights banning on Mamdani's win. And then Fetterman blasts Pelosi for calling Trump the worst thing on the face of the earth.

• 5:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Nvidia Jensen Huang says China will win AI race with US than the next day he changes position. Okay, that's the November 5th first one. What I meant to say was. That's right. He softens as China will win the AI race. Remarks to FT. McDonald's US sales rise but profits fall short as it warns Americans are dining out less. On the front lines of American car repo and then Ben Shapiro is calls Tucker Carlson dishonest for normalizing Nazism by hosting white nationalists. Nick Fuentes and then Stephen Colbert, you guys ready what he said? Insists he's more conservative than people might think and not a lefty figure. You know, let's cover both of those medias at the same time because we think we know why they're suddenly playing nice. That's a good point.

• 5:55Patrick Bet-David?

  You had a, you had a theory that I think it's worth the audience hearing about. And we got a bunch of other things that's going on here. This transgender person who used woman's locker room at Gold's Gym stole ex-wife's name. By the way, Vinny, you have to see the first lady that's telling the story. She's like, I'm in a frickin' shower. I see a guy with his dangling hanging out. And he's exposing, he's exposing himself to her. And she's like, what are you doing? And she goes, tells the gym. And guess what hap- and what happens? They kick her out. Haha. Stop it. Do you have all those clips, Rob? Like, I think it's like three of them. Yeah, it's amazing. The clip I'm thinking of, it literally just looks like a dude.

• 6:32Tom Ellsworth?

  It's not even like a truck. He took the identity of his ex-wife.

• 6:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, he beat the hell out of her.

• 6:35Tom Ellsworth?

  I want a divorce, but first I'm gonna turn you into a lesbian by me being a girl.

• 6:38Patrick Bet-David?

  We'll talk, we'll talk about that. Where's my license? There's this one video that he showed me, if we get time to get into it, of a patriot in UK who's 100 years old, and they ask him, "So, how's it feel now serving?" He says, "All my friends that..." You just have to see this. I don't even want to take it away. You have to watch it to see what the reaction's gonna be. With that being said, gang, couple of things that I do want to share with you guys. This whole auto pen situation's getting a little bit out of control. Rob, if you want to pull up that clip, honestly, everybody's talking about auto pen, auto pen, auto pen, and it's disgusting. So what do we do? You know, here's for some of you that have big plans for 2026, watch this video. No auto pen here. This is a Sharpie. But by the way, 2026 is right around the corner.

• 7:23Patrick Bet-David?

  If you've got big plans for 2026 and you've never written a business plan out, or you've written it, but it's not properly structured, you want some structure forward? That's why I wrote this book, Choose Your Enemies Wisely. If you haven't read it yet, click on the link below, place an order. So, if you want a signed copy of Choose Your Enemies Wisely, it's never a better time to read a book on business planning. Right now is the time. Go to VTmerch.com. Rob, we'll put the link below if you don't mind. We'll choose your enemies wisely right there, signed, as well as the other copies of the books that we have. And on top of that, Rob, also put the link to Business Planning Workshop. I would do both if I were you. Read the book, then attend the Business Planning Workshop.

• 8:03Patrick Bet-David?

  But we're looking forward to 2026. Last night, we were at this America Business Forum. I was on stage with Bret Baer, and we're watching all the people that are there, the types of business owners, Jeff Bezos, Jamie Dimon goes before me, and then Steve Whitkoff is there. Then you have Serena Williams literally goes right after me, and then... Rafael Nadal was there. Messi was there. Trump, Messi. Trump was there yesterday. Unbelievable. And by the way, everybody in that place was talking about what's gonna be happening in 2026. So, a lot of people behind closed doors are ecstatic about 2026. If you want to get some of those strategies, register for Business Planning Workshop. Go to bpw.betdavidconsulting.com, bpw.betdavidconsulting.com.

• 8:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, do we have that link below as well? Perfect. Having said that... Let's get right into it. Trump calls out Mamdani's very angry acceptance speech, warns communism never worked anywhere. Here's the president.

• 9:05Speaker 07

  I'm so torn because I would like to see the new mayor do well because I love New York. I really love New York. When I left New York for Washington, New York was doing really well, but there were some bad signs. The bad sign was a guy named de Blasio. So the signs of de Blasio, that was the beginning and it was bad. Uh, this one, we're gonna, look, for a thousand years communism has not worked. It just communism or the concept of communism has not worked. Uh, I tend to doubt it's gonna work this time.

• 9:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you see his victory speech?

• 9:38Speaker 07

  It's literally never worked. Yeah, I thought it was a very angry speech. Certainly angry toward me and I think he should be very nice to me. You know, I'm the one that sort of has to approve a lot of things coming to him. So he's off to a bad start.

• 9:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, thoughts?

• 9:51Tom Ellsworth?

  So I, I, I think he's speaking for a ton of people. You know what was crazy? On the Democrat side, you didn't see like this unified cheering section.

• 10:01Patrick Bet-David?

  No, you did not.

• 10:02Tom Ellsworth?

  You did not at all. And Trump is leading what a lot of people are saying. I mean, in the, in the story rundown that you just did, you know, five minutes ago, Pat, four minutes ago.

• 10:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 10:12Tom Ellsworth?

  There's all of these things where people are talking about, I'm upset, I'm leaving, I'm moving out, people in Miami. And so I think he was measured and I think he made a point to people. Communism doesn't work, gang. You may be upset, but how you voted has consequences. It doesn't work and he's reminding them what they voted for. And I think if anything, the president was measured and showing some leadership here, not going off the way we know Trump can go off.

• 10:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I, I, I thought so as well. By the way, you know what I liked? It, it, it, uh, it's a very weird combination of the next video I'm gonna be showing you guys. Next video is a video of Scaramucci. Who is not a fan of the president.

• 10:51Speaker 02

  No, not at all.

• 10:51Patrick Bet-David?

  But watch what he said about Mamdani and it teaches a little bit of history here about what happened to New York with a mayor in the 60s and how long it took for New York City to recover from it. Go ahead.

  Is by 2% on people earning over a million. That's what he says he's gonna do.

• 12:10Speaker 10

  He does.

• 12:10Speaker 09

  In exchange for free buses and free healthcare and free childcare.

• 12:13Speaker 10

  And I understand that, but the last time they did that, the city and the state lost 600,000 top people. Top people. Moved into places like Texas and Florida and they're spending 185 days in those areas and less time in New York. And so that hurts the whole economic ecosystem. So he could do that, but he's got to get Governor Hochul's approval. He's got to get the Assembly and the State Senate to do that in Albany. But there's another big problem. If you examine his campaign, it's very similar to John Lindsay's campaign in the late 1960s. People don't remember John Lindsay, but what he did was he borrowed a tremendous amount of money to put through a lot of free services. The tax revenues went down, the base went down, and by 1975, his successor mayor, Abraham Beam, was stuck in a financial crisis and

• 12:59Speaker 10

  they had to effectively declare bankruptcy for the city and then restructure the city. It took 15 years. It wasn't until 1990 that the city actually started healing itself. So we'll see. People from Wall Street that have met with the new mayor, the mayor-elect, are saying that he's arrogant. So we'll see.

• 13:14Speaker 09

  He wants to raise taxes by-

• 13:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, what do you think about what Scaramucci said there?

• 13:18Tom Ellsworth?

  I think Scaramucci is right, and I'll give you personal reflection on it. In 1976, I was in middle school. And we had a, we had a field trip. We were going from Connecticut, took a bus into New York to go to two museums, Museum of Natural History, it's been there, and just museum stuff. And my mom was worried about it because New York was, on one side of New York were these things like museums, but the other side of New York was like a cesspool. There is this thing called 42nd Street, and if you look up 42nd Street in the 70s, it was a cesspool. It was, it was worse than Main Street Amsterdam with prostitution and peep shows and pornography, you know, advertised right on the street.

• 14:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Peep shows?

• 14:03Tom Ellsworth?

  It was really bad.

• 14:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow.

• 14:05Tom Ellsworth?

  Really, really bad. And this is 75, and that's exactly when Mayor Bean came in. And I remember, as a freshman in high school, sitting in Connecticut, and we had like an economics and sociology course, and they were talking about the plight of New York City, that this incredible city, and it's all this thing that was in such trouble. And they were in trouble. They were looking for federal support, they were looking for help. And I'll tell you, he's right. Scaramucci there can sometimes be very blustery, but he is correctly talking about what happened in the 60s. And all of a sudden, 1975, Mayor Bean inherited this mess. He was followed by Mayor Koch. And finally, he's right. It took until the 90s to get the city on its feet.

• 14:49Tom Ellsworth?

  And then, remember, Rudy Giuliani took it up a level and went after the mob, went after the waterfront, and went after things, and, and took it up a lot. So look how long it took. It wasn't just 1990.

• 15:01Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't, I don't know if everybody is thinking how long it's gonna take to recover, but some people are just excited about it. Adam, your thoughts on this here?

• 15:07Tom Ellsworth?

  So, as someone that is the biggest advocate for Miami, I kind of feel grateful because, you know, they say finders keepers, losers weepers, or, you know, one man's loss is another man's gain. I truly believe we're about to see the decline of New York City. And it pains me to say that, because even, even though that I'm born and raised in Miami, and I love Miami, this is where I want to be, New York City is my favorite city in the world. I've been to London, I've been to Paris, I've been to Rome, I've been everywhere. New York City has something so unique about it. And to see a self-proclaimed democratic socialist slash communist slash Islamist slash pro-Palestine terrorist sympathizer.

• 15:48Adam Sosnick?

  Be the mayor of the home of capitalism, the home of Wall Street, the home of the New York Yankees, and we know an owner or two. It's just, it's sad, but it also tells you that New York has to look in the mirror and say, "How did we get here?" And I said this before, I think that when they did the,

• 16:09Adam Sosnick?

  what was it, the organizations they did in the Wall Street thing, what do they call it exactly? Occupy Wall Street at the moment, that that movement did not dissipate, it only grew. And you have these 35 and under crowd who genuinely hate what America stands for. They hate what capitalism stands for. All they know is socialism. And if you look at Gen Z, they empathize way more with socialism. So we're starting to see the cracks in the VAS, that is New York City. And it doesn't make me happy to see it, but as someone that lives in Miami, I know that realtors are salivating, I know that business people are salivating.

• 16:46Patrick Bet-David?

  So.

• 16:47Adam Sosnick?

  And the future looks bright.

• 16:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's what President Trump had to say when he said the, you know, "Turn up the volume." When Mamdani said, "President Trump, I know you're watching this, turn up the volume." Go ahead, Rob.

• 16:57Speaker 07

  One point he says, "Turn the volume up."

• 16:59Speaker 12

  So hear me, President Trump, when I say this. To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.

• 17:09Adam Sosnick?

  How do you respond to that? Does that, does that affect anything you're gonna do?

• 17:12Speaker 07

  It's a very dangerous statement for him to make, actually. And, you know, you talk about danger, I think it's a very dangerous statement for him to make.

• 17:21Speaker 07

  He has to be a little bit respectful of Washington, because if he's not, he doesn't have a chance of succeeding. And I want to make him succeed, I want to make the city succeed. I don't want to make him succeed, I want to make the city succeed, and we'll see what happens. Did you see reaching out to him?

• 17:39Speaker 07

  Uh, I would say he should reach out to us, really. I think he should reach out.

• 17:43Adam Sosnick?

  PBD, how do you process that? Because to me, that's a very mature diplomatic statement. When he could eviscerate him, how do you interpret that?

• 17:50Tom Ellsworth?

  That's what we were talking about.

• 17:51Patrick Bet-David?

  It's what I said last night. What I said last night when I said he's at level 100. At, uh, having gone through the fire, mentally tough. Vinny, what are you thinking?

• 17:59Speaker 05

  Well, I mean, well, first and foremost, on the, on the Mamdani situation, how he spoke. I want people to understand the, the sudden switch. Did you see Van Jones when he was on whatever show he was on? And he's like, I can't, this is literally the moment he wins. He gets behind the mic and you hear the anger? Do you hear the bitterness? It's almost like a, I got you. And it's people like Van Jones, I got buyer's remorse. Cause they were talking so proud about him five minutes before, Pat, and they were duped. He said, um, he goes, he used to be calm, warmed and embracing. Yeah, that's what you get. He exposed his true Marxist attitude. He was angry. Is this it, Rob? Can we play that, Rob, Pat?

• 18:40Speaker 13

  Yeah, of course. But I think he missed an opportunity.

• 18:42Speaker 05

  Missed an opportunity.

• 18:43Speaker 13

  Uh, I think the Mamdani that we saw on the campaign trail, uh, who was a lot more calm, uh, who was a lot warmer, uh, who was a lot more embracing, was not present in that speech. And I think that Mamdani is the one you need to hear from tonight. There are a lot of people trying to figure out, can I get on this train with him or not? Uh, is he gonna include me? Is he going, or is he, is he going to be more of a class warrior even in office? I think he missed a chance tonight to, to open up and bring more people into the tent. I think his tone...

• 19:17Speaker 05

  So his tone, and it's, it's like weird, weird. And what happened, Pat? What is it always about?

• 19:22Tom Ellsworth?

  Whose tent, Vinny?

• 19:23Speaker 05

  I'm sorry?

• 19:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Whose tent is Van Jones talking about?

• 19:25Speaker 05

  Which, which one?

• 19:26Tom Ellsworth?

  When he says, bring more people under the tent.

• 19:28Speaker 05

  Which tent?

• 19:28Tom Ellsworth?

  He's talking about the Democrat Party tent.

• 19:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, of course.

• 19:30Tom Ellsworth?

  Mamdani is not building that tent.

• 19:32Speaker 05

  No, and who vote, and, and I, I was trying to think, cause we saw the numbers and, and I saw a, a chart to Rob. Who voted? Who were the, the majority of the people that were voting for him were who? The working class? No, it was angry, white, liberal women and the, and the younger people that are getting... And promised free stuff and you made a great point, Pat, and this is the third time that I'm talking about it. Everybody's talking about the mass exodus, okay, all the millionaires and billionaires that Bernie Sanders talks about. And you said it last night, again, who's going to be moving to New York, okay? Illegals, because he's going to be soft on crime and he wants to empty up the jails, number one. Number two, um, all the criminals, all the illegals, everybody wants to come because you know, why be in jail?

• 20:15Speaker 05

  He loves, he loves illegals because it was a sanctuary city. And then, honestly, the Muslim community, and I want everybody to understand one thing. I criticize Christians, I criticize Jewish people, Israel, and don't think for two seconds that I'm not going to criticize um, Muslims as well. This is October, Pat, this is a father walking through the Bronx. And if you don't think this is going to start happening, you're an idiot. This is a guy in the Bronx. And I'm all for everybody having your religions, they're in the middle of the street doing this type of prayer. Go ahead, Rob, play this, October.

• 20:46Speaker 02

  But you cannot take us.

• 20:47Speaker 05

  Who, who said?

• 20:48Speaker 02

  Me.

• 20:48Speaker 05

  What gives you special privileges?

• 20:49Speaker 02

  You cannot take us.

• 20:50Speaker 05

  And ready? Who said, who said that?

• 20:51Speaker 02

  You cannot do that.

• 20:52Speaker 05

  Tolerant, boom, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is in the Bronx, New York. A father's trying to walk.

• 20:57Tom Ellsworth?

  Happening right now in the Bronx.

• 20:58Speaker 05

  This is the Bronx. And if you don't think this is going to start happening more and more and more, you are insane. And I want, can I make, Rob, you can stop it. And then, did you see his intern? Uh, Mamdani's intern?

• 21:11Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 21:12Speaker 05

  How her attitude is about, oh, you guys already played it? Okay, so we don't have to play it, but I'm just telling you, Pat, I feel like thi- this guy

• 21:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 21:18Speaker 05

  is going to be the beginning and it's going to start happening more and more and more. And I give it two years and people are going to see what New York is becoming.

• 21:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Van Jones had it backwards. He's correct, but he has it backwards. He said this Mondami was, um, the Mondami that we saw, the warm and, um, you know, toned down a little bit during the campaign is not the Mondami we saw here. You need to understand, Van, the Mondami you saw here is Mondami. That's the Mondami you didn't see during the campaign.

• 21:45Speaker 05

  Exactly, and Rob, can we?

• 21:46Tom Ellsworth?

  This is the real guy. The box is open and the real, you just, you just paid for it. Now you gotta open the box and see what you really bought.

• 21:54Speaker 05

  And for everybody that's in New York, and I'm going to pray for you, and I'm sorry, you were like, he's, all the free stuff, free buses. We don't even, we're going to tax the rich. What did he do the very next day? He's asking for your money. Play this, Rob.

• 22:09Speaker 12

  Good morning, New York City. Thank you. Last night, we made history. And today, we begin the work of making a new administration. Welcome to the transition. Great. This is the period over the next few months where we build a city hall that delivers on the promises of our campaign. To make New York City affordable and to make government accountable to the people. Okay, where's the free stuff? As we prepare to govern, we'll start announcing the leaders who will help implement our agenda. People like deputy mayors, who oversee entire areas of government. And the commissioners, who carry out the critical work of city agents. It's coming! These appointments will be driven by excellence, integrity, and a hunger to solve old problems with new solutions. Ready? Talking to organizers on the front lines of the fight to improve our city. Government veterans with proven track records. Policy experts from around the country and the world. And working people who know better than anyone

• 22:54Speaker 12

  what our neighborhoods deserve. Here it comes, Tom. And this will be a period, like the campaign we ran and the city hall to come, defined by transparency. Because New Yorkers deserve a government they can trust. Yep! On January 1st, I will be your mayor. Yes! New Year's Day, and a new era for this city.

• 23:09Patrick Bet-David?

  What is he gonna say?

• 23:10Speaker 12

  Oh, one more thing! One more thing. You have to wait! Remember how I told you a few months ago to stop sending us money? Guess what? You can start again. Yeah! This transition requires staff, research, and an infrastructure that can reach this moment. We need money! Stop, you're stopping, Rob. All that, think about, all the buildup. We're gonna do this, we're gonna do this, but I need your money now.

• 23:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. I mean, look, I'm not surprised. I will tell you, you know, when this is happening, the biggest question is, what level of action families will take? You know, we were at a dinner last night. Everybody was speaking about this. They're walking by our table. We're talking, they're talking to us about what's going on in New York City. Lady's got a 65-unit apartment that her father gave to her in her inheritance that she took over. She sold in January. She says, "You know what some of the laws were in New York? Just, people didn't have to pay rent." And they're like, "Nah, I don't have to pay rent." She says, "But you make money!" Based on the new laws that they have, I don't have to pay rent. I saw a clip, Rob. I don't know if I send it to you. I don't think I send it to you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna forward it to you.

• 24:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And if you can go to like the 40 second mark when I forward this to you. It's a video of him saying, he's highlighting this apartment. Where the owner is not taking care of the tenants. Which makes sense, you know, there are, you know, owners that, that don't take care of the, uh, the, the tenants and the tenants have the choice to leave to go to a different place. You don't have to stay there. But watch what he says, which is the most powerful part, folks. And, and if you can fast forward, Rob, and go to right about there, play it from right there. Watch this, go ahead.

• 24:42Speaker 12

  The mayor's office to protect tenants, bringing code enforcement under one roof. And making sure that agencies are working together to hold bad landlords accountable. Starting on day one, we will expand the city's special enforcement programs. Doubling fines for hazardous violations and tripling them for conditions that are immediately dangerous. And when a really bad landlord, like this guy, refuses to fix it. The city's gonna step in, make the repairs and send them the bill.

• 25:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, watch next.

• 25:08Speaker 12

  If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building. We're putting the worst landlords out of business. And we're going to transform 311.

• 25:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Go back five seconds. Go back five seconds. Go back right there. Say it again. Listen, folks, go ahead.

• 25:20Speaker 12

  Like this guy refuses to fix it, the city's gonna step in, make the repairs and send them the bill. If that doesn't work, the city's taking over the building. We're putting the worst landlords out of business. And we're going to transform 311 by bringing the latest in cutting edge technology.

• 25:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Ben Phillips, shout out to him. He sent this clip to me. And he says, "We're gonna take over the building."

• 25:43Speaker 05

  So it's theirs, it's the city's.

• 25:44Patrick Bet-David?

  So you mean like seize the means of production like communists? That's exactly it. So he's saying the quiet part out loud and people voted for it. That's right. Bravo, New York City. But, but the point is, you know what that means. Yes. You know what that means. Challenge is, he's gonna need Albany to get some of the stuff done. That's what this family was saying last night. He's gonna need Hokel. What's the likelihood of Hokel agreeing to the 22, uh, to the 2% increase on the, on the rich?

• 26:14Tom Ellsworth?

  Very low. She's up for reelection.

• 26:16Patrick Bet-David?

  She's up for reelection. What is, does he need her help also to be able to increase the corporate taxes? Same thing, he's gotta go through Albany?

• 26:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Of course.

• 26:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, yes?

• 26:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Yes, some of it. And I'm diving into it with Brandon so that we can really know step by step what he can and can't do. Some of the things he can do with the stroke of a pen, similar to a president's executive order. Other things he can't. We're gonna put the list so people can see.

• 26:38Patrick Bet-David?

  We're gonna, and remember that one mayor that Scaramucci was talking about, Lindsey?

• 26:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Pre 1971, you know, this, this guy apparently used to be a Republican, Republican guy. Then he became a Democrat and he stayed with the party. Can you zoom in a little bit, Rob? Go down a little bit on his political affiliation. Okay, right there, right to go up. 1971 during his term as a mayor, Lindsey switched from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party. Same year, he launched a brief unsuccessful bid for Democratic presidential nomination. In 1980, he made an unsuccessful bid for Democratic nomination for US Senate. So this has been tested out. The only difference with this guy is he wasn't a, you know, a Muslim himself. He was, what happened?

• 27:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Look where he went to school. You're right. Keep going, but look where he went to school.

• 27:26Patrick Bet-David?

  What's that? What school are you seeing, Tom?

• 27:29Tom Ellsworth?

  The Buckley School, highly liberal, St. Paul's and Yale.

• 27:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but, but, but here's, I wanna get to this next one and then we can kinda move on from Mamdani because he's officially yours, New York. Congratulations. We're very happy for you guys.

• 27:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Congratulations, Derek Mazel Tov.

• 27:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so Zoran Mamdani taps big tech antagonist. Lena Canas, co-chair mayoral transition team. You should see his transition team. He doesn't believe in hiring men. Okay? It was, did you see this, Rob?

• 28:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Was it Lena Khan? What's her name?

• 28:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, Lisa Khan. Lisa Khan.

• 28:05Tom Ellsworth?

  Lena, Lena.

• 28:06Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm sorry, Lena Khan.

• 28:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 28:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Play this clip, Rob?

• 28:09Speaker 14

  Good morning, everybody. It's great to see you all. I want to start off by just congratulating our mayor-elect, Mamdani, on an incredible victory and a just remarkable campaign this last year. I think what we saw last night was New Yorkers not just electing a new mayor, but clearly rejecting a politics where outsized corporate power and money too often end up dictating our politics. And a clear mandate for change where New Yorkers can get ahead and where all workers and small businesses can thrive, not just get by. I think what we saw through the campaign was an operation that showed extraordinary discipline, rigor, talent.

• 28:51Speaker 14

  And I know that Zoran has the vision and courage to make-

• 28:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, just so you know who she is. She's the former Federal Trade Commission Chair. And she's going to be serving as a co-chair on the transition team. And 36-year-old Democrat who brought major cases against Meta and Amazon while running the FTC from 2021 to 2025 surprised some onlookers on Wednesday as she appeared alongside Mamdani at his first post-election press conference. Tom, why is it so important to businesses in New York City?

• 29:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Because he has picked somebody who is picking on businesses. And by the way, this was a pick that, in my opinion, of everything I've read, that was an Obama-influenced pick that was made by Biden. Because she was named to the Federal Trade Commission. And my opinion, based on what I've read, is that Biden didn't really understand everything about her and she was kind of pushed through by other people that were working with Biden to get it done. And all she did for her time there was question every merger. All mergers aren't bad. Sometimes mergers save jobs by creating a single stronger organization out of two. And she picked on people.

• 30:04Tom Ellsworth?

  And I'm not against that some of the things that Meta was asked to answer for, like the stuff they were intentionally trying to hook young girls to get them to stay on and they were suffering, you know- Psychological defects, that's where government steps in to do good things like OSHA, right? OSHA stepping in. But what she was doing FTC, this was her mandate. She was anti-capitalist. So it wasn't just the FTC, Pat, trying to make good business decisions, good decisions about businesses to protect citizens and investors and things. She was actively anti-capitalist. And I believe that she was put there by other people and that Biden didn't really know what he put there.

• 30:49Tom Ellsworth?

  And now she, no surprise, the lady picking on business is now picked by Mondami to lead her transition, to lead his transition.

• 30:57Adam Sosnick?

  And one other thing to think about, I mean, listen, there's two ends of the spectrum. She's a progressive and she's very aggressive when it comes to monopolies and antitrust laws, which we understand, we don't want monopolies in this, in this country. But she's also what it would appear to be very anti-capitalist. So she, I think she made her name really advocating against Amazon. And if you remember what happened in New York, right before COVID, you have a representative in New York named AOC, our friends in New York know her, who was vocally and politically opposed to Jeff Bezos moving a headquarters. Like HQ two or something. Exactly, to New York. Do you know how much money this would have brought to New York?

• 31:41Adam Sosnick?

  This, how many jobs this would have brought to New York? Do you much more opportunity?

• 31:45Patrick Bet-David?

  25,000 jobs at $150,000 average salary.

• 31:47Adam Sosnick?

  You don't think New Yorkers want that job? You don't think New Yorkers who are struggling with affordability and the wage gap and the wealth gap wanted those jobs? So it's okay to be antitrust and anti-monopoly, I get it. But when you're anti-capitalist and anti-business, that's where people have a problem with people like this.

• 32:03Speaker 05

  And Pat, just FYI, today, Stefanics, as you guys are talking about governor, she just launched her gubernatorial race for 2026. And she said, when New Yorkers were looking for strong, this is about Hokel, strong leadership from a governor, not to bend the knee to Zohar Mamdani, Kathy Hochul bent the knee. So it just started today.

• 32:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but the question again is, is Mamdani going to be able to do the things with taxes with the support of Hokel? Hokel was asked about Mondani taxed her rich, taxed her rich. Did you guys see this clip or no?

• 32:33Adam Sosnick?

  No.

• 32:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Taxed her rich. And she said, settle down, settle down, settle down. And then afterwards, when they asked her, do you, you know, what do you think? Cause she started getting upset at the audience that were chanting, is this the one, Rob? That's the one. Go ahead, Rob. Play the clip, watch this.

• 32:48Speaker 15

  New York's first mom governor, we need more childcare.

• 33:02Patrick Bet-David?

  And then you hear tax the rich, tax the rich.

• 34:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. Afterwards, when they asked her, are you going to tax the rich? She says, you know, I don't really know what they were saying. I thought they were saying something like, let's go, you know. Brandon. Actually, she said that. Are you serious? No, no, not Brandon. She says, I thought they were saying, let's go New York, let's go something like that. So, look, who knows? But let's look at business owners and what type of action they're taking. Here's Dave Portnoy. Okay? New York, attitude, energy, media, vocal. Here's what he said about what he's planning on doing with, what do you call it? Barstool Sports and his reaction to it. Because Barstool, you know, I believe they're in New York City.

• 34:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, definitely New York City. He destroys Mamdani after election. He lives in Florida, but I think Barstool is in New York. Destroys Mamdani after election and threatens to move Barstool out of New York City. This is his tweet that he's saying perfectly, what is in perfectly in New York City. Thank God I don't live there anymore.

• 35:06Patrick Bet-David?

  A relieved day, Portnoy says he's thankfully no longer lives there. Mamdani, just 34, got elected after Mamdani, you know, on Scott Jennings, Brandon, a great actor on X concluded Scott Jennings sums up Mamdani perfectly. But if this is what the people of New York City want, then so be it. Thank God I don't live there anymore. Portnoy has previously expressed his disdain for Mamdani and his left-wing ideology. And Rob, is this him talking about Barstool or he's talking about the fact that he's an actor?

• 35:32Speaker 16

  This is the Scott Jennings clip.

• 35:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Scott Jennings talking about that Mamdani's an actor? Yep. Go ahead and play the clip.

• 35:36Speaker 16

  He's the greatest actor you have, you know? He turned himself into a hood ornament for the poor and the downtrodden. He's a rich kid who is a great actor. He play acts. Yeah, I'll tell you what, I can understand why you'd be leery of an actor in politics. I'm just saying, there's no other obvious Democrat.

• 35:56Patrick Bet-David?

  He has all the energy behind him.

• 35:58Speaker 16

  You talk about slicing and dicing the electorate. He's gonna slice and dice it in one way, oppressors and oppressed. And I want to find out if he has it in him to give it up. I don't think he does, because that's the energy in the Democratic Party. It's oppressors and oppressed. That's why the Jews in this city feel scared, because they know he has labeled them as the oppressors. That's why people who create jobs in New York City are leery, because he labels them the oppressors. That is the worldview of the energy of this campaign, and it's also the worldview of the energy of Democratic primaries across this country. I love it. Like, stop talking, bro.

• 36:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, by the way, he's gonna be in the 2020s elections. Michael Jennings is gonna be running as well. He may be a president, VP, he's gonna do something. And hey, is anyone leaving New York City? Is anyone leaving New York City? Watch this. Families are fleeing New York City, private schools following Mamdani's victory, competing for coveted Miami spots. Adam, I'm coming to you with this one, and then Tom right afterwards to you. So, you know, they're not gonna leave New York City, Vinny.

• 36:57Speaker 16

  I remember hearing that somewhere.

• 36:58Patrick Bet-David?

  No one's gonna leave New York City. It's not gonna happen. Zora Mamdani's victory has New Yorkers running for the hills, or at least private schools outside of the city. Since the result of Tuesday's election and school placement, consultant Christopher Rim told Post that he has had no less than 23 clients reach out to him. They're looking to relocate and they want to help getting their kids, his help with getting their kids into private elite high schools and middle schools in other states. Within the first 30 minutes of AP announcing Mamdani's victory, I got three messages from families looking to move. Said Rim, the founder of CEO of Command Education. Over the summer, I started hearing families say, I don't know what we're going to do if this guy wins.

• 37:40Patrick Bet-David?

  He said, feeling that a Mamdani victory was inevitable. Six of his clients moved to Connecticut, Greenwich, Darien and Riverside ahead of the school year. They were like, he's going to win and there's no reason to wait. The parents who have reached out to him have kids enrolled at top notch New York City schools, including Trinity, Riverdale, Horace Mann, Ramaz and Avent Avenues. Their children range from third grade through high school. Many, he reports, are Jewish and are concerned about his rising antisemitism in the city and Mamdani's views on Israel. Adam.

• 38:12Adam Sosnick?

  So it's going to happen. You know, we're like, we're asking, we're posing this question like, are people leaving? I don't know. Would they do this? Listen, I've seen New Yorkers flirt with moving to Florida my entire life. And pre-internet, pre-social media, pre-COVID, pre-Zoom. I would always ask these questions, especially when I was like in the nightlife world. They'd come down every winter, New Year's, have the best time of their life and they're like, man, I love it here, man. I was like, well, why don't you guys just move here? If you love it so much. Well, you know, New York, family, this, that, the other. And then what we saw happen during COVID, they were just like, yo, we out.

• 38:52Adam Sosnick?

  And if you don't think it's going to happen, there's precedent for this. Just look at California. You left California.

• 38:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 38:59Adam Sosnick?

  You left California. You left California. How many companies left California during COVID? We know Tesla, Oracle, I think Hewlett Packard, Palantir, they all moved to Texas. Charles Schwab, Chevron, Rogan famously went to Austin. So California, when they're, when, when, when the, when the wealthy have had enough, they move to Texas and in some cases Vegas or Tennessee. It's no secret when New Yorkers have had enough. And they say, all right, we can move to Connecticut, we can leave New Jersey, whatever, whatever. All right, we're out, we're moving to Miami, we're moving to Fort Lauderdale, we're moving to Boca. We've seen it a million times. It's not even a question. So, New Yorkers

• 39:40Adam Sosnick?

  are gonna come here, they're gonna come in droves, and the cost to live in Miami now is gonna get more expensive. Everything's supply and demand. So, I continue to say this, Zoran Mamdani is a case example of what not to do, but what to do if you want to get elected. Think about this. If you want to run, if I wanted to run as a Democrat, anybody wants to run as a Democrat, it's the easiest thing to do. Do you want, like, when I ran for student body government in fifth grade, I was like, do you want free pizza? Do you want to have PE six times a day? Do you want to not do homework? Vote for me. Everyone's like, hell, yeah. The hardest thing to do is run as a Republican,

• 40:23Adam Sosnick?

  especially, do you want to have to work your ass off? Do you want to have to actually put in the work and build the business? Do you actually want to have to wake up early, get stuff done, raise your family, raise your kids? I know it's not easy, but someone has to do it. Are you up for the challenge? That's the difference. Like, the Democratic Party to me is free, free, free, free pizza, which I ran for in fifth grade. Zoran Mamdani's doing it today. By the way, got elected, homie. Nobody ever got free pizza. But then the next day, he asks for money for the pizza. Hey, by the way, can I get some money for the pizza? So, we've seen this show before, and, you know, I love New York, but best of luck.

• 41:02Speaker 05

  Any thoughts?

• 41:03Adam Sosnick?

  No, I just, it's, it's, to say that people aren't leaving, and we've heard it on people's podcasts, like, what, a week before it happened, they're going to leave. Like, let me ask you a question. If you're a, let's say, you're worth $50 million and you're in New York, what's that 2% Tom, that's gonna hit you? That 2%?

• 41:22Speaker 05

  It's hu- so my question is, how does that feel, Tom? Tom, look at you like- So my question is-

• 41:29Patrick Bet-David?

  It's actually not the 50 million.

• 41:31Speaker 05

  What is it?

• 41:31Patrick Bet-David?

  The 2% is, a million dollars is gonna pay for that. But he wants to take corporate tax from 7.3 to 11.4.

• 41:38Speaker 05

  Bingo.

• 41:39Patrick Bet-David?

  That's 4% on corporation revenue. That means, what he's trying to say is, it's literally moving jobs away from, uh, uh, what do you call it? From companies creating the jobs to the government creating jobs. That's, that's all he's doing. He's moving to 4%. Anytime they raise taxes, the way to interpret that is the following. They're telling you, "The government can do better with your money than free markets." That's all they're saying. "The government can do better than the free markets." It's like a new CEO getting hired at the company, and here's how they campaign. You ready? "Hey, Amazon, vote for me to be the new CEO of Amazon, because what we're gonna do

• 42:22Patrick Bet-David?

  is lower the salaries of the big executives, and we're gonna raise the salaries of the minimum wage. I'm gonna make sure these executives that are making 4, 5, 6 million dollars a year, we're gonna bring them down to a mil- No executive should make more than a million dollars a year at Amazon. But if you're only making $60,000, we're gonna raise your living wages from 60 to $200,000 a year." Who's gonna be voting for that? 80% of people at companies don't make that much money. They're gonna be like, "Holy shit, I love this CEO." They're gonna vote for him. Then a new CEO comes in, then guess what those executives do? Uh, "Hey, corn fairy? Yeah, I'm looking." So if you wanna call Google Meta everybody else, let them know I'm looking, because they just slashed my salary in half.

• 43:06Patrick Bet-David?

  It's basic mathematics, Tom. Go ahead.

• 43:08Tom Ellsworth?

  No, y- y- you know what? To Pat's point here, I'm gonna add to it. And the actual, and here come the haters, you're gonna just descend on me.

• 43:15Speaker 05

  Bring it on.

• 43:16Tom Ellsworth?

  If you look at the report card of people that are running businesses, and take away the bad actors, the people that, that don't treat people well, you only have about 33, 40% of executives in this country that are truly great executives. You listen to the things about me, Pat and I saw a clip from Jeff Bezos, as he was coming in and was connected to the American Business Forum, where Pat was interviewed by Bret Baer. And you see real genius and you see people and you say, well, that's why that company's there and you listen to them and it's like, um, it's, it's amazing. There's only so many of them. And if you want to chase them out of the, uh, of your company, you do it at

• 44:00Tom Ellsworth?

  your own risk. Bad CEOs lose great teams. We saw it happen. We talk about, we talk about Tripoli. We talk about Brian Nickel. You know, he attracts great teams and gets great results. There's not a whole lot of those guys. So if you want to chase great businesses out, there's not a whole lot of great businesses that are going to grow over 20 years and are going to bring jobs and bring things in. There's not a lot of those opportunities. And it's arrogant to say, well, the government that is not in the business of running businesses is going to run businesses. And by the way, do you know how he takes away that apartment building? He already knows he's going to get it because he's putting restrictions on

• 44:42Tom Ellsworth?

  you as a landlord. He's putting controls on you as a landlord. You don't have the money to do the things that he wants you to do. Vinny, did you do this, this and this? I don't have the money to do it. Oh, that's a no. We'll be back next week. Did you do this, this and this? I don't have the money. Guess what? We're going to do it. We're going to come in and do all that stuff. And here's the bill. I don't have the money to do it. Oh, I'm sorry. Give me all your keys, all the copies of the keys. We own it. We have the deed. Send them the, send them the note. They, it's a plan. It's a plan. So on one side, it's a plan and on the other side, it's unintended consequence. You have some people that it's a complete unintended consequence because they say, we're going to be men of the people. We're going to do this. And you chase out the good people, just the way bad

• 45:22Tom Ellsworth?

  CEOs chase out great, great teams. Then, on the other hand, it's intentional, intentional. The workers will control the means of production. We're going to take it. Yep, there it is.

• 45:33Patrick Bet-David?

  You're seeing it. He's already speaking a language. This guy here, uh, just literally tweeted right now, Danker D, 49er native. You guys could buy a New York school and relocate them to Miami, pay the teachers to move down and draw the demand. Uh, eventually, we're going to be doing that, just not right now. By the way, for those of you guys that are watching. If you haven't posted a question yet on my next circle, at the end of it, we'll get, we'll try to get to one or two of the questions. I know this topic of New York City is very, very important and sensitive to a lot of you. Go to my next circle, post your question, add that's the QR code right there, download the app and then at the end of it, we'll address some of the questions.

• 46:09Adam Sosnick?

  Real quick, you interviewed a guy probably five years ago, I think, I believe his name was Dan Price.

• 46:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 46:14Adam Sosnick?

  Uh, gravity payment, something like that.

• 46:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes, it was a merchant account company.

• 46:18Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, so this guy, uh, practiced what I believe was called ethical capitalism. There he is right there. He's sort of like a Jack Dorsey wannabe. Uh, respectfully, uh, he was making a million dollars a year, I believe, as the CEO.

• 46:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 46:31Adam Sosnick?

  And, you know, ra- salaries range all over. He said, you know what, guys, moving forward, bing, bing, bing. We're all equal. Everyone's gonna make, I think, seventy thousand dollars was the number. Does that strike the?

• 46:42Patrick Bet-David?

  That's it, 1.1 million to 70K.

• 46:44Adam Sosnick?

  All right, everyone's gonna make 70K. And, oh, that's so sweet. That's so nice. Oh, my God, we're all equal. We all do the exact same thing. Oh, we're all living in a fairy tale. That's not how life works. I think the company might have gone under. I'm not sure if he is even still relevant. I'm not sure where the, the story ends. But the company did not succeed. You can't just pay everyone the exact same amount. I'll give you another example. So there's two players, one arguably the best player in the league and one arguably the worst player in the league. They're on the same team. And one is called LeBron James and one is called Bronny James, respectfully, nice young guy. Still has, are they related by any? They are, sir. Uh, one, I think, makes fifty million dollars a year.

• 47:30Adam Sosnick?

  And one makes, I would assume, the rookie minimum.

• 47:34Adam Sosnick?

  In this world, you pay them the exact same amount. Doesn't matter what you've done, doesn't matter your track record, doesn't matter you put butts in seats, doesn't matter that you're the arguably the greatest living player, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We're all equal, guys. The problem is, that's not how things work. I think Shohei Ohtani, arguably the greatest player right now than Aaron Judge, maybe. I think he makes, what's his contract? Seven hundred million dollars? They're showing us history. Seven hundred million dollars, Tom? Yeah, seven hundred. Okay, worth every penny, yeah? Yeah, and, and by the way.

• 48:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I'd like to go to next story, Adam. Anything else or?

• 48:06Adam Sosnick?

  No, I'm just saying, you can't, the greatness, but the point is this, you, people don't understand CEOs, you pay for great CEOs, do you not?

• 48:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 48:16Adam Sosnick?

  Who's the guy that they said, uh?

• 48:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Brian Nicol.

• 48:19Adam Sosnick?

  No, not Brian Nicol. Who's the guy, was it Starbucks? Who was the guy? I don't take phone calls after.

• 48:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, he's the one.

• 48:24Adam Sosnick?

  I don't take phone calls after five o'clock. But they paid some guy that I think he used to run Chipotle. You pay for greatness.

• 48:30Patrick Bet-David?

  The predecessor said that about the phone.

• 48:32Adam Sosnick?

  And they don't understand that in the corporate world or socialist don't understand that.

• 48:35Patrick Bet-David?

  I got you.

• 48:35Adam Sosnick?

  But they have no problem, you know, paying LeBron.

• 48:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's go to next story. Let's go to next story. Okay. So that's that. Now, while, while all of this stuff is going on, uh, you know, you have Ben Shapiro blasts dishonest Tucker Carlson for normalizing Nazism by hosting white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Why would he ever have Nick Fuentes on his podcast? I mean, I can imagine anybody ever doing such a thing, but is this, what is this right here, Rob?

• 49:03Adam Sosnick?

  This is Ben Shapiro.

• 49:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, go for it.

• 49:05Speaker 17

  Hey folks, I want to do something different on today's show. We're going to cover one topic in depth. That topic is, I think, the most important thing happening in the country. It was a hot topic last week, but I wanted to take some time to really gather my thoughts and speak on it in coherent fashion, holistic fashion. That topic is the fragmentation of the political right. That fragmentation is being caused purposefully by a splinter faction of people led by a young man named Nick Fuentes. They call themselves the Groypers. They are white supremacists. They hate women, Jews, Hindus, many types of Christians, brown people of a wide variety of backgrounds, blacks, America's foreign policy and America's constitution. They admire Hitler and Stalin.

• 49:46Speaker 17

  And that splinter faction is now being facilitated and normalized within the mainstream Republican Party. The main agents in that normalization is Tucker Carlson, who is an intellectual coward, a dishonest interlocutor and a terrible friend. And Tucker Carlson last week was aided, abetted, celebrated for normalizing Nazism within the Republican Party by the mainstay organization of the traditional right, the Heritage Foundation. Now, before we explain what's been happening, let's make one thing clear. This is not about free speech or cancellation. It was never about free speech or cancellation. Free speech has a definition, the right to speak free of governmental coercion. I believe in it, of course, I've always defended it. Criticism of bad speech is in fact, just a form of free speech.

• 50:28Speaker 17

  Cancellation also has a definition, the banning of particular people, including people like Nick Fuentes, from platforms like X or Facebook. I believe that Nick Fuentes is odious and despicable, but I've never called for his cancellation, and in fact, I've called for his restoration to those services, despite the fact that I think he's odious and despicable. It is not cancellation to draw moral lines between viewpoints. In fact, we used to call that, one of the key aspects of conservatism. It is not cancellation to refuse to signal boost Hitler supporters like Nick Fuentes. It is not cancellation to criticize Tucker Carlson.

• 51:01Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause right there. Okay, Adam, go ahead.

• 51:03Adam Sosnick?

  No, I'm pulling something up, go ahead.

• 51:05Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, it's your story, it's your name.

• 51:06Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, I got you, I'm just grabbing someone, thanks. So, when Ben called, by the way, Rob, I sent you a clip, that's what I was waiting on, and I'll get back to that in a second. When Ben called Tucker Carlson, a intellectual coward, dishonest interlocutor and terrible friend, you know what stuck out to me? The terrible friend part. Because I'm totally an advocate of free speech, we've had Nick Fuentes here, I mean, I've received so much criticism for shaking Nick's hand, playing basketball with Nick. What's weird is, I get along with Nick, you've seen this. Do I disagree on his judgment of Jews and Israel and blacks and immigrants? Of course. Any reasonable person would draw those conclusions. But is there a sliver of truth in what he's saying?

• 51:51Adam Sosnick?

  Of course. Because otherwise, why would people resonate with this? The terrible friend to me thing, is what pains me. You mean to tell me, you're gonna have Tucker Carlson, you're gonna have Nick Fuentes on, who in many ways made his name shitting on Charlie Kirk? And not even a little bit.

• 52:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Who are you talking about?

• 52:12Adam Sosnick?

  The entire thing.

• 52:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Nick on Charlie.

• 52:14Adam Sosnick?

  Nick Fuentes.

• 52:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, yeah, yeah.

• 52:16Adam Sosnick?

  Made a living on shitting on Charlie. And for Tucker to not even mention it once. Not even like, hey, listen, as you know, Charlie was a friend. Tucker spoke at Charlie's funeral, how many people spoke at Charlie's funeral? Twenty, maybe, in the world? To not even mention, hey, I really don't like that, I really don't, I don't like what you did there. I hear you. But to not even mention it, it's so weak and cowardly to me. Okay, moving on. If someone tells me, "Hey, I'm a huge fan of Hitler." I'll be like, "Okay, cool." No follow-up questions, but not one? "Oh, by the way, I remember December 19th, it's a great day for me." "What's December 19th?" "Stalin's birthday." December 18th. Oh, my bad.

• 53:00Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, we'll circle back to that. "Hey Tucker, you never circled back, buddy." "And you were never planning on circling back." So to me, I said this three months ago. Yeah. If I had to pick who actually I trust more to believe in what they believe in, Nick Fuentes or Tucker Carlson? Give me Nick Fuentes all day. I think Tucker's an actor, I think he's a faker, and I think he's a gaslighter. That's my opinion. Come at me. What's this clip? This clip is from Dinesh D'Souza, he's been on the show. This is his opinion on Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. Go ahead.

• 53:32Speaker 18

  Tucker doesn't even purport to be knowledgeable about anything. So as a result, what Tucker says is, "I will develop a ventriloquist style. I have strong opinions, but I don't want to defend any of them. So I will set up a structure in which I bring in sources, often rather dubious sources, people you've never heard of. You know, the nun with the mustache, some disgraced academic. And what I'll do is I will ask sort of leading questions that, in which is embedded an answer. My answer. But framed as a question. You then will blurt out the obvious implications of the question, giving me the answer I expected, but I will pretend to be thunderstruck by it.

• 54:17Speaker 18

  It's an epiphany, it's a new revelation. People have been suppressing this kind of thinking for decades. So this is a shtick. It's a different shtick than Candace. Candace's shtick is, "The Candace Intelligence Agency, I'm like the world's greatest detective. You know, I'm the Pink Panther of my time. I'm deputizing all my viewers also to be detectives. Feed me information, we're gonna crack the case." So to me, this is like, an intellectual embarrassment, because all my life, I've been an iconoclast.

• 54:47Adam Sosnick?

  You can pause that. I actually think he's absolutely right. That's my opinion, but Dinesh D'Souza is a credible guy in the conservative movement.

• 54:53Speaker 05

  Why is Ben, what do you think Ben's so upset about the fact that he's just speaking with him? Because you made the point, a bad friend to who? Is he talking about Charlie?

• 55:02Adam Sosnick?

  That's exactly what he's talking about.

• 55:03Speaker 05

  That's who he's talking about. And here's my question.

• 55:05Adam Sosnick?

  I think so.

• 55:05Speaker 05

  Well, yeah, we're assuming. I don't know, because he's not, say what you want to say, because here's my thing, Pat. The beauty about conversations that you've had, you've talked to Bibi, you've talked to him, the spectrum of people from Nick Fuentes, everybody. What, why doesn't Ben, because Ben's turned down other times where we wanted to have debates with, meaning with Candace or him. He refuses to sit down. Sit down with this person, have a conversation, and guess what? If your argument is better, and it's gonna win, because, hold on, let me ask you a question. Do you think Ben Shapiro would sit down, uh, one-on-one against, uh, Tucker Carlson? Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson?

• 55:38Adam Sosnick?

  I want to say that they've tried to arrange something, and one of them, uh...

• 55:43Speaker 05

  Because my thing is this, Pat.

• 55:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Who do you think won't? Can you run a poll? I, I mean, if the audience watches it, who do you think won't agree to a two-hour debate? Tucker Carl- don't say any opinions, so we get them to think. Who do you think won't do it?

• 55:58Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 55:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Ben Shapiro or Tucker Carlson? Put that poll.

• 56:02Speaker 05

  Because the same-

• 56:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Hey, guys, vote for him. I'm curious to know what you guys would think about this.

• 56:05Adam Sosnick?

  Who would not show up to the debate?

• 56:07Speaker 05

  Who would not agree to it?

• 56:08Patrick Bet-David?

  So, let's just say, let's just say, Megyn Kelly says, "I want to host a debate with Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson," right? And who would say no to that debate? I'm curious to know how people are gonna vote.

• 56:21Patrick Bet-David?

  So, continue, what you were saying here with Ben.

• 56:23Speaker 05

  Because it's, it's conversation, because he's gonna sit there, and we heard that two-minute, you know, rant of his, he's pro-speech, pro-this, pro-that. Then what are you, what are you, what are you worried about? That he's giving him a platform, that he's asking him questions? Because I think the best thing is to do like what you did, sit there, find out who this person is. How do they get to where they're saying? Why are they saying the stuff that they're doing? Is it for the clicks? And then you let it go. But to say, to say that Tucker is intellectually weak and all that stuff, it's like, come on.

• 56:50Patrick Bet-David?

  I have some opinions on this, but Tom, go ahead.

• 56:52Adam Sosnick?

  So-

• 56:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Pat, I've been with you a long time and looking at the things, there's only so many hours in the day. And the things we decided to talk about, one of the things that Pat pushed this year, correctly so, was the difference of signal versus noise.

• 57:07Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 57:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Let's get to signal of the things that are gonna move forward, the company, the lives of the people that are giving this chapter of their career to the company and all the things we do. All the stuff you could talk about, I'm trying to figure out, why does Ben wake up one morning? And just decide that he's gonna, you know, put a well-constructed show together on Tucker Carlson for putting Nick Fuentes on the show? Of all the things that can be talked about.

• 57:32Adam Sosnick?

  I know why.

• 57:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Of the plight, I'm gonna name two. The plight of the Jews and what's about to happen in New York.

• 57:38Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 57:38Tom Ellsworth?

  Under Mendami, the peace that's coming together, hostages and bodies that are coming home.

• 57:43Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 57:44Tom Ellsworth?

  And the future, where do we go from here in the Middle East? How do we get a sustaining peace? He's well-versed on so many of these things. Why does he wake up and take one day, you know, and more to go after this? Rather than all the stuff he could be talking about? And Ben is an incredibly smart intellect that can put together amazingly crafted arguments. I'm just as upset as he might be with it. It kinda confused me as why, why waste your airtime on this?

• 58:11Adam Sosnick?

  Do you know why?

• 58:13Adam Sosnick?

  Did you actually watch the, um, I think it was 40 minutes? Did you watch the whole thing?

• 58:19Tom Ellsworth?

  No.

• 58:20Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 58:20Tom Ellsworth?

  I've read several summaries, but I have not, I put it on 2X and gone through the whole thing.

• 58:24Adam Sosnick?

  No, I watched it. Um, I think if, uh, by the way, if there were a debate, if there's one thing I will give Ben Shapiro credit for is, that guy debates. Right, I'm not saying.

• 58:35Tom Ellsworth?

  I agree, but look at all the topics.

• 58:37Adam Sosnick?

  Tucker interviews.

• 58:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you gonna answer the point?

• 58:39Adam Sosnick?

  Sure. Here's the point. He gave the whole, he outlined the whole thing. Actually, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with Judaism or Christianity or this. Ben Shapiro, at the very end, I don't know if we can play it, gives this sort of like impassioned speech. He said, "Damn it, I've worked my whole life for this, the conservative movement, and I'm not gonna sit here while these people try to root it." And that, to me, is what he's talking about. He's basically saying, "Our enemies should be the far-left, and the woke-left, and what's going on there, and you're gonna try to fracture the Republican Party and the conservative movement over this nonsense, over this Nazism, this racism, this chauvinism," whatever he kind of outlines. If you go to the last two minutes, you'll hear it.

• 59:21Patrick Bet-David?

  We're not gonna do that, Rob. I'm taking the word for it.

• 59:23Adam Sosnick?

  That, to me, is what he stands for. He's basically saying, "The midterms are coming up, in one year exactly. The left is salivating at this internal civil war." Because, don't forget, they call it the woke right for a reason, because it's a mirror image of what's going on in the far woke left. You know, whatever's going on in the far-left, the mirror image to the right is what's going on there.

• 59:44Patrick Bet-David?

  You think Ben is a unifier?

• 59:47Adam Sosnick?

  That's not the word I would use to describe Ben Shapiro.

• 59:51Patrick Bet-David?

  You think Tucker's a unifier?

• 59:52Adam Sosnick?

  No.

• 59:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. You think Charlie was a unifier?

• 59:56Adam Sosnick?

  One million percent.

• 59:57Patrick Bet-David?

  One million percent as well.

• 59:58Adam Sosnick?

  Well, if you were a reasonable person, you would come to that conclusion.

• 1:00:01Patrick Bet-David?

  I think Charlie was a unifier.

• 1:00:02Adam Sosnick?

  I agree. I think a lot of people on the left think he was a divider.

• 1:00:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's my opinion on this, on a couple of different things that I go through. Number one. So, Ben Shapiro, the more they talk about Nick Fuentes, the more they raise his profile.

• 1:00:17Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 1:00:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Nick Fuentes, if I'm his agent, I would say, "Nick, phenomenal. Your number-one PR rep this week was Ben Shapiro. Send him a $10 doll, go fund me, and congratulate him, say, 'Thank you for supporting the cause and raising awareness to who I am.'" Okay? That's what that is. Number two, you know, I would go and sit down like those trigonometry guys, you know, who the trigonometry guys would sit down with me, and we did an interview one time, and he came very strong at me. I'm like... That's right after I called it the daily, you know, yeah. And my Constantine did? Yeah, and I'm like, oh, I got you. And I corrected him. I said, no, no, no, no, qualified awards. He said, I'm sorry, I did, yes. So I don't, so then I'm like, okay, I got what's going on.

• 1:01:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Because again, I'm not in this community. Yeah. I'm like, there is a Tucker camp, there is a Shapiro camp, and both sides bowed down to both. Okay, fair, no problem. Then there is the younger Nick camp. And then Charlie is trying to get everybody under the camp to be working together. Okay? Um, I, I, I don't know if, if, you know, when you hear the market talking and there's interest in somebody giving a message, the more you dismiss them, the bigger that person's gonna get. And that's what you've done. Number two, you know, when we, when we were having Benjamin Netanyahu on the podcast, I knew what was gonna happen. I knew what was gonna happen.

• 1:01:48Patrick Bet-David?

  And I'm not even gonna say what some of the stuff happened to us the last six weeks, because I don't even want to advertise what happened last six weeks. I don't want anybody to talk about what happened last six weeks. It's no one's business. We're going through it. Okay?

• 1:02:00Patrick Bet-David?

  So, when we had Bibi, I, I would say death threats at an all-time high, no question, when Bibi came up.

• 1:02:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Then, they agree, alright, Ben wants to come on the podcast. Then when I said, you know, I want to have Nick on, I looked at the booking team. After Ben was confirmed, I said, if they cancel, it's because of me agreeing to have Nick on. Great. We have Nick on. I show the clips, we have the conversations, everything takes place. Fair interview. You sound like a racist here. You sound like this here. Why are you dropping this word? So he's kind of like, you know, even manning up. Two weeks later, Ben Shapiro cancels. Why? Why do you cancel? So what is the brand?

• 1:02:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Why not have conversations? We're not a firebrand.

• 1:02:58Patrick Bet-David?

  We're not. Well, let's see, maybe next year. No, I'm not interested. Don't big shot yourself. It's unattractive. And by the way, here's what's crazy. I've invited Tucker 50 times. Never has he agreed to come on. And I flew to Maine. So it's not like I'm sitting here and, um, what's the word? Trying to see that, you know, both of these camps have some similarities. Both of them. I think Ben is a very good communicator and debater. Are you kidding me? When the time when that man put his hands on his shoulders, you don't think that's a little bit inappropriate? Ben has got some brass and he's had some, some of the best fiery moments ever.

• 1:03:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Ben, when he was young, he was on Pierce Morgan. Pierce was about to be here. We're doing a show with him today. I don't know when we're doing it, but we're doing a show with him today. And remember the first time when he was on there? And I don't know if it was years ago, years ago, Constitution, right? When Pierce went over there. So, and Tucker, Tucker is Tucker Carlson. Tucker had his moment with Jon Stewart many years ago when Jon Stewart tried to make fun of him. That one right there. Look how young he looks. Not that one, Rob. All the way at the top. All the way at the top. Yeah. Look at Ben. When he brought him to the Constitution. Yeah. Ben has had some incredible moments, right? What he's done, both of them. So to me, here's, here's a very, uh, interesting thing that's going on.

• 1:04:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Nick Fuentes, FYI, whether you like him or not, he ain't going away. Nope. Okay? He ain't going away and he's gonna have a voice. Here's the other part. Ben Shapiro, whether you like him or not, he ain't going away. Whether you like Tucker or not, he ain't going away. So now what? By the way, Republicans, you got destroyed last week. Yep. Ready? You got manhandled. Not last week, this week. Two days ago, three days ago. Destroyed last week. Okay? Marjorie Taylor Greene goes out there and she's talking about now she wants to run in 2028 on a firebrand. And, you know, Tom's talking about it could be a Ross Perot tap of a moment. You know what all this leads to?

• 1:05:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Unless if you guys find a way to get it together, President Trump is not gonna go out there campaigning for everybody in 2028.

• 1:05:14Patrick Bet-David?

  If you can't go win your small little mayoral races and contests that you got and you're just waiting for, you know, President Trump to come in, retweet and endorse you every single time, and you can't come and take on the mantle and go fight, there is, there is some stuff going on the Republican Party. So what's the plan? Is it gonna be Tucker's camp, Nick's camp, Candace's camp, Ben's camp, all these other camps that are all over the place, MTG's camp, Thomas Massey's camp, and yeah, some of these overlap, probably Thomas Massey and Ben, Candace and Tucker and some of those guys will probably, MTG is probably gonna be together. I think maybe an MTG is gonna be a little bit of a challenger moment there. Ben's camp is gonna be one, and quite frankly, when it comes on to Ben, Ben was wrong with

• 1:05:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump in 2016. Ben was wrong with DeSantis in 2020. I would, I would sit down and tell him like, what are you talking about, DeSantis in 2024? So they've been, you know, it's not like they've been also right on a lot of these things. Guys, none of us have been. Everybody's walking around like, you know, anyways, I, I just think, you know, right now, if you guys don't buckle down and get locked in, 2025 ain't gonna be a red wave. 2025 is gonna be a blue wave that comes through, cuz they're watching all these, let me tell you, Nick Fuentes is right, let me tell you, Ben Shapiro is right, let me tell you, Tucker Carlson is right, let me tell you, oh, let me tell you, Democrats won. Yep. How did this happen? Yep.

• 1:06:43Patrick Bet-David?

  You did it. So, Mr. Ben Shapiro, respectfully, Mr. Tucker Carlson, respectfully, you know what'd be a great panel onstage? Is Ben, Tucker, Meghan, Nick, Candace. I think Meghan can pull this off. I think Meghan could pull this off, to bring this together. I think Meghan's a boss, she's tough, she's strong, and she's been around, the reason why I think she's the one that could pull it off is because she was the face, she was like, she killed it on Fox, crushed, and she's doing great with her podcast, so she has the mainstream and the podcast victory. I think Meghan could pull off something like this.

• 1:07:29Patrick Bet-David?

  To bring everyone together because at this point of the game, you know, Ben's loyalty, Ben's, you know, of course he's gonna be loyal to Israel. That's what he is. He's very proud of his heritage. FYI, you ought to be proud of your heritage. I don't sit there, I'm like, well, he's, yeah, I, when I say daily Jewish wire or daily, whatever I call the Israeli wire, I do think that's his priority. I don't, I don't say that as in a Like an insult. No, I say, listen, I'm a Syrian Armenian. Okay? I'm a Syrian and Armenian. I'm a proud Syrian, I'm a proud Armenian. But, you know, born in Iran, made in America, without America, I'm not, I don't have the life that I have today. Are you kidding me? But I understand

• 1:08:14Patrick Bet-David?

  some of the affinity. I understand if Nick goes after, you know, Tucker's dad, you know, Tucker's gonna invite him to say, hey, man, listen, this is one thing I don't like when you go after my dad. His dad's his hero. I understand Tucker. But I also understand Nick, who's on the outside, is like, you guys not gonna give me attention? I'm gonna F them, come after you guys like a freaking gangster and I'm gonna pull up a Tupac, hit them up. I'm gonna destroy all of you guys. That's Nick. Nick is Tupac. So what do you wanna do? What do you wanna do? You wanna do east coast, west coast type of situation? Is that what you want? Really? Is that what you want? Cause I think right now what Ben talked about is he's spending millions of dollars a year on security. Why? Who's creating

• 1:08:58Patrick Bet-David?

  it? Who's causing it? This isn't healthy. I don't, I don't, I don't, you know, this isn't healthy. So for me, I love the debate. Keep the debate. I love all of that stuff.

• 1:10:11Patrick Bet-David?

  No, what did she say?

• 1:10:12Adam Sosnick?

  She addressed this. She actually had Matt Walsh on her podcast. They spoke for a full-on hour.

• 1:10:17Patrick Bet-David?

  And what was, what was the consensus? What did they say?

• 1:10:19Adam Sosnick?

  So it was very interesting, because she says, "I'm friends with Ben Shapiro. I'm friends with Tucker Carlson."

• 1:10:25Patrick Bet-David?

  She's the right person.

• 1:10:26Adam Sosnick?

  And then she's speaking with Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire. It was very interesting, his perspective. You know what he said?

• 1:10:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:10:32Adam Sosnick?

  About Ben, Israel, whatever. He goes, "Yeah, I don't care. I care about America. That's my opinion. That's been my position for 10 years." He goes, "I don't care."

• 1:10:40Patrick Bet-David?

  So then, so then for me...

• 1:10:41Adam Sosnick?

  But Meghan is, I think, someone that can pull this off.

• 1:10:43Patrick Bet-David?

  I think Meghan is somebody that can pull this off because Meghan has Tucker's respect. That's why. Because Tucker respects the fact that Meghan made it on cable, TV, and made it at podcasting. And she's a formidable face. She was a moderator. Trump, "Hey, you've said a lot of different things about women." No, only Rosie O'Donnell. That's not true. That's not true. So, yeah, I, I, I don't know. I just think, you know, if you go like this and the infighting continues, congratulations, you handed them 2026. And if it continues and you think, "Oh, you know, a, a, a person, yeah, mentally, emotionally tough and a gangster you have to be

• 1:11:28Patrick Bet-David?

  to come back and win 2024 election." There's only one guy that could have pulled that off, and it's the guy that won. And he's the president today. You think that guarantees 2028?

• 1:11:38Adam Sosnick?

  Nope.

• 1:11:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Hell, no. Now, so, welcome. Yep. And by the way, to Ben Shapiro's camp, that this is probably gonna be sent to. Eight thousand people voted, sixty-eight percent said he's the one that doesn't want to sit down with Tucker. And our audience is fairly fair, is what they are. So there you go. I don't know, maybe. Fairly fair.

• 1:12:02Speaker 05

  No, no, they're fairly fair, but, but, and Pat, great, great points. And you just, like, it just hit me that what you're talking about, about this, the Mamdani effect and all that stuff. Republicans are all over the freaking map, and there's, like, the way that you just said it. If they don't come to, in any situation, their, the midterms are not, blue, it's gonna go to freaking Democrats. And then how fast is 2028 gonna come? And Gavin Newsom just sitting at the top, waiting for this shit.

• 1:12:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Welcome to the White House, President Gavin Newsom.

• 1:12:37Speaker 05

  He is doing it intentionally. I'm not saying that you scared me, but you just made me go, oh my God. They're all fighting because who, who are all those people gonna tell you to vote for? Let's say the presidency comes up. One's gonna tell you to go this way, somebody's gonna tell you to go this way. The one guy that's pro Israel, they're gonna say, go this way. It's gonna be so splintered and sitting and waiting in the wings. It's Gavin Newsom going, hey, I love, this is, they're all Hitler, they're all Nazis, open the border, come on, guys. Let's go back. That's not.

• 1:13:03Tom Ellsworth?

  I agree with the point that, that, you know, the Republican Party and the conservative movement, I mean, never mind Republican Party. Conservatism in America and the conservatism movement does need unity. A week and a half ago before the election, who do we see doing photo ops together? AOC, Bernie and Chuck, right?

• 1:13:18Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 1:13:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Walking down the street, wasn't there the three of them walking down the street in Chuck shirt sleeves? People, the people, you know, like this. Why? Do you think Chuck agrees with Bernie? No, absolutely not. They're mortal enemies. Chuck undermined Bernie so much in sixteen and twenty.

• 1:13:34Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 1:13:34Tom Ellsworth?

  Absolutely did. And so do you think AOC and Chuck are friends? No.

• 1:13:39Speaker 05

  No, I don't.

• 1:13:40Tom Ellsworth?

  There's been people saying that she's gonna primary him and she's going after the next level seed if she doesn't run. And didn't you see that, that AOC and Bernie are perfect? No, she's too much of a lightning rod on the outside. He's actually stayed where he is. But why are they all walking together, talking nice together? Because they know what unity was needed and their enemy was the loss they took last November. And so the conservatives need unity. We don't need MTG running for president over here like Ross Perot. We don't need this divisiveness that's here. I agree with that point. That we need unity and someone needs to do it. And you know, Pat talking about that maybe Meghan could step it up.

• 1:14:22Tom Ellsworth?

  I think there's other people that could do it too, but we gotta get people together on the core things.

• 1:14:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, we're outsiders. Let me tell you what I've learned at this point. We're outsiders and I love it. You have no idea how much I love it. That none of them are like, who are these guys? The same way Ben feels about us is the same way Tucker feels about us. But the difference is, by the way, both of them have had me on. I've had Ben on the show eleven years ago, never had Tucker on. But both sides are like, who are these guys? And I love it. I'm comfortable that it's a stroll. We're not, we're not trying to sit here and you know, when I was coming up in insurance, it's all, it's the same exact story every single time. Who the F is this Middle Eastern guy with no college degree coming up, taking market share away from us? Who are you? Every year we go to the insurance conference. It was like this.

• 1:15:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Who are you? Oh my God, you know, get out of here, get out of here. And then all of a sudden, boom, oh shoot. No, we actually love the industry and we actually respect you guys. We respect the hell out of you guys, that you guys built a business. We admire what you've done. We admire a lot of these guys, what they've done over the years, but we have our own set of opinions. And we're fair, we're respectful, but at the same time, to me, it's very simple. If I don't have a relationship with them ever for the rest of my life, I'm okay as long as America is winning.

• 1:15:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep.

• 1:15:40Patrick Bet-David?

  If that's the role we're gonna play, we're gonna continue playing that role. We're not somebody that's gonna sit there and be like, come on, we're gonna do this. Nope. We've had plenty of great experiences and we have very good relationship with a lot of people. I also understand the fact that for some people, they're more uncomfortable. Why? One minute they're here, one minute they're there, they'll call this person up, but they'll call that person up, they'll have net, you know, but they'll have Nick Fuentes. Yeah, we will talk to everybody. Period. And I know you're not gonna like it. And I'm okay with it. I made a video the other day with the idea that I'm talking about, I think they need to do X, Y, Z with. You know, I think Israel has a bad brand right now because of how horrible of a job they're doing marketing as the only child. And I said, "Trust me, no one's gonna like my idea on both sides." And guess who hated the idea? Both sides hated the idea, right?

• 1:16:25Patrick Bet-David?

  And guess what? I like that, that both of you don't like the idea. We will gladly play in this role of just going up here, gladly. And continue to do our part, but God willing, Megyn Kelly's gonna make that phone call and host an event and have everybody there. I think she can play the role of a glue. And there's a handful of other guys I would nominate that can pull that off, but I think she, I think she's the head that can pull that off. I really think she's the head that can pull that off and get everybody in. And by the way, bring Steven Crowder. He's, he's coming back and I like the new Crowder. Yep. Bring him back. He's back to realizing who he is. Oh, yeah. And what he was doing. Let's not forget at one point Crowder was the guy. Yep. And a lot of people remember when he was the guy and he went through a bad season,

• 1:17:08Patrick Bet-David?

  but I'm kinda glad that he's got his mojo back and he's playing ball. He's a very, very formidable voice. He's a beast. Yeah, I would include him in that as well. For sure. And, uh, but anyways. He's criticized all those guys too, by the way. Listen, just think about us as a consultant. That's who we are. We're here for you guys. We're just a consultant is what we do. We, we, you can go to bedavid.com literally to learn more about what we do for clients from 60-plus countries, 10,000 businesses, a business nobody knows that we have except for the people that we do engagements for and strategy sessions for. Let's move on to the next story. Next story I wanna go to is Jeffrey Epstein. Pretty rough day when this guy, what's his name? Andrew, is that the one that we're talking about?

• 1:17:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Jeffrey Epstein, oh, no, this is a different story. Jeffrey Epstein, folks, watch this here. Kinda weird, Vinny, I'm gonna come to you with this one. Yes, sir. Claimed Maureen Comey, the daughter of 8647 James Comey, okay? Who thought it was just nice seashells. Didn't know what it means. Nothing. I, you're director of FBI, you know, he didn't know what 8647 meant. It's just nice seashells on the beach, right?

• 1:18:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Jeffrey Epstein claimed Maureen Comey would let him free if he implicated Trump. Ex-cellmate said.

• 1:18:30Tom Ellsworth?

  What?

• 1:18:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Huh. Now, let me read this to you. What is this guy talking about? Jeffrey Epstein claimed New York federal prosecutors told him he could walk free if he agreed to implicate Trump, according to his ex-cellmate. After his arrest on child sex trafficking in July of 19, Epstein was transferred to the Metropolitan Correctional Center of Manhattan where he shared a cell with a ex-cop Nicholas Tartaglino,

• 1:18:57Patrick Bet-David?

  who was awaiting trial before being convicted on quadruple murder charge.

• 1:19:05Tom Ellsworth?

  That's a four.

• 1:19:07Patrick Bet-David?

  57, now claims that Epstein, who died a month after being arrested, told the prosecutors that offered to cut a deal if he'd snitch on President Trump, who was then in his first term. Prosecutors told Epstein that if he had said President Trump was involved with Epstein's crimes, he would walk free in a petition to be pardoned. Tartaglino claims in a pardon application filed in July and obtained by The Post, Epstein told me that Maureen Comey said that he didn't have to prove anything as long as President Trump's people could not disapprove it. According to Maureen Comey, the FBI were her people, not his, meaning the president's. The papers don't specify what crimes Trump would be implicated in. At the time of his death, Epstein was charged with sex trafficking and conspiracy,

• 1:19:49Patrick Bet-David?

  but was also suspected in a laundry list of other crimes. Vinnie, thoughts?

• 1:19:53Speaker 05

  Think, think of, okay, could we, could we just give a shout out to this family? Maureen Comey, her father, James Comey, and I have to write this down, but she was, remember, she was just fired recently, Tom, right? For the Southern District of New York since 2015. Guess which cases she, profiled cases? Epstein, she was behind that. She was behind Ghislaine Maxwell, and also, she just, the Diddy case. She's all, yeah, and I get it, that's her district, that's where she's in, but like, I, I hope you guys understand what we're talking about here. Epstein was going to get a deal, I know this is according to Nicholas, he was going to walk free. Think up, guys, really think about that. Tom, they were gonna let him go if he just implicated Trump because this is how deep and how far from 2000-

• 1:20:37Tom Ellsworth?

  But this is how prosecutions work during, you know, to be fair, this is not unique. Do you not think if there's something up with, with LeBron in the gambling, if, do you not think that they would say to LeBron, LeBron? Says if you just let us know who your team were teammates in Miami, because one of your teammates in Miami, we got a book on him.

• 1:20:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:20:59Tom Ellsworth?

  We're done.

• 1:21:00Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:21:00Tom Ellsworth?

  And so if you want to just tell us what happened, you know, then you'll have immunity. Chris Bosch, if you want to tell us what happened, you'll have immunity. They're talking, and the only reason I'm mentioning those names is not because they've been implicated, but because this is the way the federal government works when they're cultivating and they're trying to figure out their, their cases.

• 1:21:16Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:21:16Tom Ellsworth?

  Is they ask one to tell on the other and in exchange for saving the government time and being honest about that, by the way, if you, if you snitch and you do things and you get a deal from the government, they try not to be false, there's this little clause where they, they, they can pull the deal if you basically are found to have been so full of crap and tried to redirect the government or trick them and things like that, they'll come back and pull the deal right back off the table. So this is the way it works.

• 1:21:42Speaker 05

  Of course, yeah, for sure.

• 1:21:44Tom Ellsworth?

  This is the way it works.

• 1:21:45Speaker 05

  But Tom, look, look at the hate and the disdain for Trump from back to 2016.

• 1:21:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Absolutely. Point made, absolutely correct.

• 1:21:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, that, that Tommy, that you're gonna let us.

• 1:21:54Tom Ellsworth?

  And it's his frickin' daughter.

• 1:21:55Speaker 05

  That's what I'm saying, and you're there, the guy that was behind the whole Russia collusion thing, that was behind the Hillary Benghazi and all that stuff, and all the files and all that stuff, when you talk about deep state, Tommy, that's the guy. It's the Comey, it's the Brennan, it's the, who, John Bolton, these are the guys, they're starting to get exposed, but what drives me crazy is, they were willing, because I, I believe it, Tom, I totally believe it, yeah, the guy's a convicted murderer, but what does he have to, in that situation, it's not gonna, he's finished for the rest of his life, they're willing to let go the most prolific sex trafficking pedophile just to go after Trump. Just, and by the way, you know what she said? We, um, all he had to do was accuse Trump, and if Trump's team couldn't disprove it, he'd be pardoned, okay? Epstein, and you know what?

• 1:22:36Tom Ellsworth?

  See, there's the F.

• 1:22:37Speaker 05

  That's the F.

• 1:22:37Tom Ellsworth?

  You gotta give us enough evidence that we get something and it goes like here.

• 1:22:40Speaker 05

  And Epstein refused, think about this, Tommy, Epstein refused and told her flat out, Trump had nothing to do with the crimes, okay? I don't care what anybody else is talking about.

• 1:22:50Tom Ellsworth?

  Not the answer there was.

• 1:22:51Speaker 05

  That's it. And, and, and going back to her father, Tom, notice this, right? He's under indictment for lying to Congress, all right? He was reportedly tipped off, he was reportedly alleged. Allegedly tipped off that the massive stash of hidden documents was gonna come out.

• 1:23:05Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, there's a lot of allegations and there's some specifics in them about Comey that he.

• 1:23:10Adam Sosnick?

  Tom, let him finish.

• 1:23:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, no, he's right. I love it. Thank you, Messi. He goes, and once he found that out, not long after that, he stumbles on a formation of rocks that said 8647, which I don't care how gullible or how much you try to play both sides, that is a freaking dog whistle. 8647 means take out the president of the United States. And he played that stupid game. Okay, like, ah, I didn't know. And the left freaking believes it. Okay, this is what's happening, Tom. And Pat, I think it's disgusting. If it is true, I know it's all allegedly, but that they were willing to let Epstein, Adam, Epstein walk if he just, just say Trump was there and we're good to go.

• 1:23:52Tom Ellsworth?

  That's how they get the mob, right?

• 1:23:53Speaker 05

  That's exactly how they got them out. Yeah.

• 1:23:54Tom Ellsworth?

  You, you go the little guy to get the big guy. So who's bigger, Trump or Epstein?

• 1:23:59Speaker 05

  Trump is, for them, it's Trump.

• 1:24:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, well, then that makes Epstein the smaller criminal.

• 1:24:03Speaker 05

  Of course.

• 1:24:03Tom Ellsworth?

  And you're ruling to let the small guy go to get this. If, if New Yorkers knew in terms of the mob, the people that were let go so they could get John Gotti.

• 1:24:13Speaker 05

  Oh, my God. Murderers, Tom. Murderers.

• 1:24:15Tom Ellsworth?

  So if, if the headline was this, these gentlemen and their crimes got immunity because we actually were able to convict someone. Everybody goes, wait, what? And they flip out. So we could, and then instead of someone, the headline says Gotti. And then they, they say, well, they had to get Gotti, and I guess they had to get snitches to go after him because otherwise Gotti's still out there.

• 1:24:38Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 1:24:38Tom Ellsworth?

  It's the bigger, they, they put the little guys to get the big guys. And in that context, regardless of all the heinous, terrible things are happening to kids that you've been so passionate about, correctly so, absolutely appropriately so, they were willing to give up that guy to get the big guy.

• 1:24:53Speaker 05

  Wow. A, a guy, a big guy that didn't do anything, Tommy.

• 1:24:56Tom Ellsworth?

  To them, Trump was the big prize.

• 1:24:58Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, he didn't do anything. I, I'm following this. I just have a couple of questions. So. Obviously, we understand Comey. What's your opinion or supposition on Maureen Comey specifically? You think she's compromised?

• 1:25:11Speaker 05

  I want, Adam, my belief, Vincent Lachance's belief, you think the apple falls that far from the tree when your father was the director of the FBI? And of course, Adam, do you even know who her husband is? These people all hate Trump and they were willing to do anything. Adam, it's still happening to this day and we failed to, yes, Adam, I believe.

• 1:25:30Adam Sosnick?

  Who's her husband?

• 1:25:31Speaker 05

  Um, I forgot his name, but you can look it up, Rob, who's her father? Lukas Isakarov. He's, you think this guy likes Trump? This guy is a Trump hater to the, oh, think about it.

• 1:25:42Adam Sosnick?

  I just see his name. Lukas, I don't know anything about him. I don't know why.

• 1:25:46Speaker 05

  Well, he's, they all, their mission, and this is what bothers me, Adam, I think she's compromised. You know why? On top of what happened with the, with the Diddy thing, the goal since 2016 was get rid of this guy. And the fact that they were willing, allegedly, willing to let go of Epstein just to get Trump, and Adam, get him for what? Lie. Lie and say that he was implicated with touching underage girls or doing whatever underage girls? Because that was the goal, Adam. That was, that's what Russia collusion was. That was the two fake impeachment was. That's all that nonsense adds up to this, so it's not a surprise to me. It really isn't.

• 1:26:19Adam Sosnick?

  And then one more, we obviously know James Comey, we're starting to learn about Maureen Comey. I've never heard of this guy, uh, what is his name? Nicholas?

• 1:26:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's, that's that guy that he was in the jail.

• 1:26:31Adam Sosnick?

  Targillion?

• 1:26:32Speaker 05

  Jail cell.

• 1:26:33Adam Sosnick?

  You trust him?

• 1:26:34Speaker 05

  What, what, here's my question to you. What does he have to, he's not getting, you're not gonna get out of jail free? You're not losing any time. He's just saying that this is what they offered him. When he was in prison with them, this is what he found out. And by the way, there was a document that I saw, a government document, Adam, where they're taking all these notes. Yeah, I believe, Adam, just because, Adam, hold on, ready for this? If I killed somebody and I had to kill somebody or I murdered somebody, what, does, I just, you're just not supposed to believe me anymore? Because I made one crime, so that means I'm lying about stuff? No, he admitted that he's a murderer.

• 1:27:03Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, he murdered four people. He's in jail for life.

• 1:27:06Speaker 05

  So he can never tell the truth? He can't tell the truth about something he saw in his jail cell and a conversation he had with a pedophile?

• 1:27:10Adam Sosnick?

  It's notoriously known, they call it a jailhouse informant, that this is some of the least reliable evidence in court. The least. Why? You might be saying, well, why? He's in jail for life. Well, if you're in jail for life, you'd be willing to say anything and do anything to get the hell out, would you not?

• 1:27:28Speaker 05

  You can never get out. He, that, there's, there's-

• 1:27:30Adam Sosnick?

  Hold on, ready for the-

• 1:27:30Speaker 05

  There's zero-

• 1:27:31Adam Sosnick?

  Hear me out.

• 1:27:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, go ahead.

• 1:27:34Adam Sosnick?

  I mean, Rob, I'm sure you could chat to me. I'm just gonna go, reduce sentences, money, uh, maybe drop charges, lessening charges, a million different reasons that a jailhouse informant, a cellmate would be like, here's my moment. In fact, and you can fact check this, I'm assuming that a jailhouse informant, a cellmate, is some of the least credible evidence in a court of law. I'd love you to fact check that. So to me, once I hear cellmate, I'm like, I don't believe this guy. The dude who murdered four people-

• 1:28:03Speaker 05

  Adam, you know-

• 1:28:04Adam Sosnick?

  All of a sudden, he's your star witness?

• 1:28:06Speaker 05

  Adam, do you know how many cases, cause I watched the first forty-eight and all these, all these, all these murder mysteries? Do you know how many times the person's opened their mouth to their cellmate? And they're the ones that ratted them out and they, they, they confess to them? Or the phone calls that they make in the jail, Adam, this is, the situation is Epstein's cellmate said that New York prosecutors, Maureen Comey, offered him a deal. He's, he's sharing a jail cell with the pedophile. He knows what conversations are happening. Adam, you're in there with the guy twenty-four seven. He's not making stuff.

• 1:28:39Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, but it's not like Epstein needs to tell this guy anything. I mean, look-

• 1:28:42Speaker 05

  What do you mean Epstein? Adam, you ever, you ever shell a jail cell?

• 1:28:45Adam Sosnick?

  Trust but verify?

• 1:28:46Speaker 05

  Bro, I don't trust this guy at all and I'd verify everything he's doing. Look, Rob, what does it say? I can't see this thing.

• 1:28:51Speaker 19

  Uh, jailhouse informant testimony can be used in court, but it is widely considered one of the least reliable forms of evidence.

• 1:28:58Adam Sosnick?

  Bingo, bro.

• 1:28:58Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:28:59Adam Sosnick?

  You can't trust his, he, tru- quadruple murder. You're like, I believe that guy. He has my vote. What?

• 1:29:05Speaker 05

  Let me ask you a question though. You're sharing a jail cell, you, Adam, and you're a murderer, with Jeffrey Epstein? You, Jeffrey Epstein, you're not hearing what you- Hold on, meaning Jeffrey Epstein goes and talks to his lawyers and, and the federal prosecutors and then comes in his jail cell, Adam? And is doing this? No, you talk to your, that's your new best friend, Adam.

• 1:29:23Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, sure.

• 1:29:24Speaker 05

  No, so, so my-

• 1:29:25Adam Sosnick?

  You don't think Jeffrey Epstein kept in contact with the outside world? You think there was this one guy that was like-

• 1:29:30Speaker 05

  Bro, you're my- How long you think they were in jail, Adam? How long you think they were in jail together, in the cell?

• 1:29:34Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know.

• 1:29:35Speaker 05

  All day. So my question to you-

• 1:29:37Adam Sosnick?

  This guy murdered four people. We're like, star witness, bro.

• 1:29:41Speaker 05

  No, I didn't say star witness.

• 1:29:42Tom Ellsworth?

  I think we're missing a couple of points here. I mean, first of all, let's not debate, you know, the jailhouse snitch. We can read about that all the time. The story is coming out that, and there's a lot of people that alleged that Comey was more than a little nepotistic getting his daughter into the family business, which was federal prosecuting.

• 1:30:02Speaker 05

  Weird.

• 1:30:02Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, and Comey was also right there with a lot of people that were trying to take down Trump.

• 1:30:09Speaker 05

  Forever.

• 1:30:09Tom Ellsworth?

  So the notion, Adam, that, that they're looking for any and everything that can help them take down Trump is not a stretch.

• 1:30:19Speaker 05

  That's where I was going.

• 1:30:20Tom Ellsworth?

  It's not an assumption. It's out there. Was this particular guy in jail gonna be the most credible way to do it? No, to your point, because, oh, hey, hey, it says right here, they have to tell the jury. He may get leniency, he may get a better cell, he may get this.

• 1:30:35Speaker 05

  You mean the guy that kidnapped four guys on a, on a dirty cop drug deal that went bad over $250,000 and killed the four people and buried them under his property?

• 1:30:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Adam, step back from that.

• 1:30:44Speaker 05

  I believe that guy.

• 1:30:45Tom Ellsworth?

  Adam, is it, the story is, it's pretty, you know, there's a lot of allegations here.

• 1:30:51Adam Sosnick?

  Vinny, I wanna sell you this beautiful piece of property in the Everglades right here. Trust me, bro.

• 1:30:55Speaker 05

  Hold on, you know what point he's making?

• 1:30:56Tom Ellsworth?

  Adam, don't do that. Why do that?

• 1:30:58Speaker 05

  I know, but you know what point he's making?

• 1:31:00Tom Ellsworth?

  No, you're not talking to Vinny. You're performing.

• 1:31:02Adam Sosnick?

  Tom, you wanna go, bro? You wanna end up in a quadruple?

• 1:31:05Speaker 05

  Adam, you, Adam.

• 1:31:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, yeah. Change the endpoint. Change the endpoint. How, how, wow, that's one great way to debate.

• 1:31:11Speaker 05

  Do you?

• 1:31:12Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm just trying to take it back to the story. Is it conceivable that Comey and company were trying to use any and everything to go after Trump? Yes, is that it?

• 1:31:21Adam Sosnick?

  I believe that. I'm saying, I don't believe the quadruple murderer.

• 1:31:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Have a lot of people said that he got his daughter into the family business, which was going after.

• 1:31:30Speaker 05

  I know, I know we wanna move on to the story. If you think it's not conceivable.

• 1:31:35Tom Ellsworth?

  We've only been 45 minutes on this one. Let's use the whole podcast. Hell.

• 1:31:39Speaker 05

  That the guy, the guy, Russia collusion, everything you name it.

• 1:31:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Rob, let's go to Starbucks.

• 1:31:44Speaker 05

  Comey, FBI, all that guy trying to take down Trump, that guy, his daughter wouldn't go to a pedophile and say, hey, listen, just say this, and we wanna get Trump, and it will help. Hold on.

• 1:31:55Adam Sosnick?

  I believe you. I just don't believe the quadruple murderer guy. Okay, well, that's you.

• 1:31:58Tom Ellsworth?

  Pat, you wanna weigh in on this?

• 1:31:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, let's, let's, uh, look, here's where I'm at. When, when something happens, I get intel from everybody. If an issue happens at the company that we got addressed, like let's just say a crisis takes place. Some people have higher credibility scores than other than like I literally put everybody's position and next to this guy's got a two score, four score, eight score, nine score, 10, seven, six, eight, nine, and we learned everybody's motives and then we make a decision for ourselves. Does this guy have a high credibility score of what he's saying? Probably not, but is it somebody that you want to use the content and see what's going to be said? Yes. Do I believe Maureen Comey is capable of trying to find everything to destroy Trump on the 2024 election when that's the guy that they didn't want to go in there? Cause they knew exactly what he was gonna do that he's doing today? Yes. Do you think Obama wanted Trump to win in 2024?

• 1:32:44Patrick Bet-David?

  No. Do you think Comey wanted Trump to win 2024? No. Do you know? Do you think Comey knew that if Trump would win that they're gonna go after him to reveal the fact that all the shit he lied about? Yes.

• 1:32:55Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:32:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, this is, both of you could be right. And it's just like, let's see what happens. Let's see where they're gonna go from here. Uh, with these types of stories. This, this Epstein thing, you know, more and more stuff that's being dropped, verify, investigate, see if there's anybody else that would sit there and match it and say there's some truth behind it. And then we move on. That's where we are with this story here and we can move on to the next story. Next one I want to get to is the following. Folks, if you're traveling, FAA is slashing 10% of US flights in 40 major cities as historic government shutdown drags on. Rob, if you have the clip on this one here, if you want to play it.

• 1:33:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, right there. This is what's going on. And by the way, can you actually see in the comment section, is anybody traveling that any, actually ask a question, has anyone's flight?

• 1:33:47Speaker 05

  Their plans?

• 1:33:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Has flight plan been canceled or affected today? If you say, I'm curious, even if it's less than 1%, if it's 82 people, I want to know if there's, you know, just say no, it's not being canceled and say yes if it has been. Tom, your thoughts on this story with what's going on? How big of a deal is this?

• 1:34:03Tom Ellsworth?

  This is a very big deal. Apparently on October 28th, uh, ATC employees, air traffic control, received their last paycheck. Um, and now they're in a non-pay position with the shutdown. So apparently some of them are not going to be coming to work and they have to maintain the safety for Americans. You don't want an overworked, um, uh, ATC person working a 12-hour shift. Especially if you have thunderstorms in Chicago or in Dallas and they're trying to direct the safety of all those flights going to land. So now they're like, and I'm pretty sure, I'm 99% certain that what I read in my research this morning was that October

• 1:34:43Tom Ellsworth?

  28th is when the, um, the, uh, the first, uh, paycheck that they won't get, not their last paycheck, that's going to be the one they don't get. So they're not asking them, Pat, to work for free. And they're saying, those of you that are going to work, great, but some of you aren't going to be here because you're not working for free. That means, guess what? We gotta have fewer flights. Airlines, how you do it is up to you with how many tickets have been bought. And you're sure, if they're flying a flight from Dallas to Fort Lauderdale and it's always full three times a day, that one's still there. But the flights that were at 20% full, 10% full, those are the ones that the airlines are going to say, okay, I gotta take so many flights out of Dallas, where are my lightest loads or lightest flights? And so they're, they're going to do that. And it's kind of

• 1:35:28Tom Ellsworth?

  a warning to America that says, hey, the, the, not a warning to America, a warning to all of us and our Congress, hey, this is about to get real. Because the FAA also said, Pat, you ready for this? You know what the next percentage they mentioned? What's that? 50% that seven days later, after this first 10%, they could be talking about 50% because of the air traffic control people that are not going to be working for free without a check. And so, so now then, who controls this? The Democrat, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. Okay, not the shutdown. ATC, my understanding, falls under the purview that rolls up to the president through one of the cabinets. And so the president could allow the pinch

• 1:36:12Tom Ellsworth?

  to happen to get the Dems to negotiate with him, or could just step back and, and let the pain there. But I think Trump's going to use this to negotiate, Pat. That's what I think. Because 50% coming, I think what he's, that's the number they want everybody to hear. 10% of the flights this week because it's some of these guys got their last check. Rob, can you play this clip? Watch this clip here. Go for it.

• 1:36:34Speaker 20

  There is going to be a 10% reduction in capacity at 40 of our locations. The administrator is going to tell you that it's been, this is data-based. This is not based on what airline travels, has more flights out of what location. This is about where is the pressure and how do we alleviate the pressure? And so I want to thank him for, again, him. In regard to air traffic control, we've had a conversation over the course of the last month about some of the challenges that we're having in the airspace. Many of you know that we are 2,000 controller short, air traffic controller short. And we have surged our academy to bring more controllers into our system.

• 1:37:18Speaker 20

  We are 20% up in controllers through the academy thus far this year. I've also offered air traffic controllers who are of the age of retirement, a 20% upfront cash bonus to actually stay on. Some of the best controllers we have don't retire, keep working for us. All of that has been reducing the pressure on the staffing side of air traffic control. It's working, but it takes years to bring more well-trained certified controllers into the airspace. The shutdown is having an impact on our ability to maintain those numbers and dent that 2,000 shortage that we have.

• 1:37:56Speaker 05

  That doesn't make me want to fly, make me feel safer flying at all right now.

• 1:38:00Tom Ellsworth?

  It sounds like Boeing flights are falling out of the sky for no reason.

• 1:38:02Speaker 05

  No, but I'm not like, why would you want to fly right now with, dumb and dumber, with people that are, imagine that, like, yeah, no, I'm going to put in an extra couple hours and I'm not going to get paid and you want...

• 1:38:14Tom Ellsworth?

  And what he didn't talk about is October 28th, a bunch of them aren't going to get a paycheck. So he's saying, remember all, all summer long you've been hearing about Newark? People say, don't fly into Newark. If there's any, if there's a mere cloud in the sky that looks like a thunderstorm in New York, Newark gets a problem. Remember we saw these, these talking about Newark? What's because of what he's talking about? But the punchline is, hey, look, we got people retiring, we're trying to get people trained, there's been stress in the system, and now some of them are going to stay home because he can't get paid? I need, we need a 10%, we need a 10% reduction.

• 1:38:47Adam Sosnick?

  Let me ask you, I mean...

• 1:38:48Tom Ellsworth?

  So it was already hanging by a thread.

• 1:38:49Adam Sosnick?

  Tom, let me ask you, you're the expert on this one. Has the government shutdown affected your life even one iota?

• 1:38:58Speaker 05

  My sister's not working. Oh, sorry. You?

• 1:39:02Tom Ellsworth?

  No, I've heard about things like this.

• 1:39:03Speaker 05

  For you?

• 1:39:04Tom Ellsworth?

  Me personally, no, but me personally, yes.

• 1:39:08Speaker 05

  I'm saying you personally.

• 1:39:10Tom Ellsworth?

  No, my person, my family, no, but I know of people like Vinnie's sister.

• 1:39:14Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:39:15Tom Ellsworth?

  Who work for the government and are now in a waiting game on their paycheck.

• 1:39:18Speaker 05

  So it's affected you how? Affected me with my sister, who's literally, she can't go anywhere, she can't leave because they could. Cause she does what? She's Space Force? She works at Space Force. Space Force, ladies and gentlemen, it's a real thing. And then, and then Adam, I mean, this, this is affecting flights and if I do stand up and I can't leave.

• 1:39:33Adam Sosnick?

  As government shutdown affected your life at all?

• 1:39:35Patrick Bet-David?

  But I'm not everybody.

• 1:39:36Adam Sosnick?

  No, I'm just saying for you.

• 1:39:38Patrick Bet-David?

  It, it, it may if people that need to travel.

• 1:39:43Adam Sosnick?

  Yup.

• 1:39:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Can't travel.

• 1:39:44Adam Sosnick?

  Bingo.

• 1:39:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Like this, this weekend, PHP event, I got stuff that I'm doing, they're traveling in here today. They should be able to travel.

• 1:39:51Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:39:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so it's not gonna affect us, 10% won't. If they go to 100%, 50%, 60%, I mean, you're gonna feel it. So, now, you know, a lot of times, certain things happen and you may just sit there and say, it's not doing anything for me, so who gives a shit?

• 1:40:06Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly.

• 1:40:07Patrick Bet-David?

  But that's not how life works. You don't have, you know, you, you don't have kids. So imagine if a, all kids are shut down in America, how are you impacted by it? You're not, so you have to be paying attention to how it's.

• 1:40:17Adam Sosnick?

  That's ultimately my point, is that up until now, the government shutdown hasn't affected average people, normal people, what have you. But when you start missing flights, you start to say, whoa, what's going on here?

• 1:40:27Speaker 05

  Now it's starting to hit.

• 1:40:27Adam Sosnick?

  10% of flights, all of a sudden, 50% of flights.

• 1:40:30Tom Ellsworth?

  Tom said 7 days.

• 1:40:31Adam Sosnick?

  All of a sudden, when average people start waking up, they have zero care in the world for the government shutdown.

• 1:40:35Tom Ellsworth?

  We got like almost 3,000 votes in our poll now.

• 1:40:37Speaker 05

  Has your flight been, look at that.

• 1:40:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, wow.

• 1:40:39Adam Sosnick?

  25%.

• 1:40:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Or, no, no, not 20%, that's 500 people.

• 1:40:42Speaker 05

  Yup. 500.

• 1:40:43Patrick Bet-David?

  500 people.

• 1:40:44Speaker 05

  Or affected due to government shutdown.

• 1:40:46Tom Ellsworth?

  There you go, it started.

• 1:40:47Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, so this is.

• 1:40:48Tom Ellsworth?

  This is the pinch.

• 1:40:48Adam Sosnick?

  This is where you're gonna start to get the pressure to like.

• 1:40:50Tom Ellsworth?

  And Pat, cause you guys are.

• 1:40:51Adam Sosnick?

  You're affecting average people.

• 1:40:53Speaker 05

  Pat, what do you think, Tom, honestly, you, all three of you, what, huh, what is gonna be the moment? Because they're not, it doesn't seem like they're budging anytime soon. Trump is not gonna give in ever, he's not gonna give an inch, especially when all this billions and billions is gonna go to illegals and all this. How long is this thing going to go? Cause I don't see any, any like daylight.

• 1:41:12Tom Ellsworth?

  Go back and look at the history of shutdowns. These are the pinch points that you need to get, get our, our, our elected imbeciles. I mean officials to, to Congress to cut a deal together.

• 1:41:23Speaker 05

  Catch you a question? So, so, so let me ask you a question.

• 1:41:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Pronounced officials.

• 1:41:28Speaker 05

  So all the airlines, Boeing, all these places, are these like normally the CEOs, are they woke type people? Cause they're, they're going to be making phone calls to their, their donors, right? They're freaking lobbyists like, yo dude.

• 1:41:39Tom Ellsworth?

  Tell you the president of every airline is a capitalist who looks at the stock ticker every morning.

• 1:41:43Speaker 05

  Okay. So they're, they're more conservative.

• 1:41:45Tom Ellsworth?

  No, they're capitalists.

• 1:41:46Speaker 05

  They're capitalists.

• 1:41:47Tom Ellsworth?

  Exactly. You can be, you can be in favor of your stock and your job and still be a liberal.

• 1:41:52Speaker 05

  But, but, but, but what I'm saying is, are, are they making phone calls to their representative? Like, yo, listen, like this is, you guys are starting to affect our wallets.

• 1:41:59Tom Ellsworth?

  I, I would say airlines now are like, hey man, this is about to affect us.

• 1:42:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:42:03Tom Ellsworth?

  You're not going to like this.

• 1:42:04Patrick Bet-David?

  So right now it's just who can tolerate most pain.

• 1:42:08Speaker 05

  That's it.

• 1:42:08Patrick Bet-David?

  It's already the longest record breaking shutdown we've had. Who can tolerate most pain?

• 1:42:14Speaker 05

  Did it break the record?

• 1:42:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Broke the record two days ago.

• 1:42:16Speaker 05

  Congratulations guys.

• 1:42:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Broke the record two days ago. All right. Let's go to the next story.

• 1:42:19Tom Ellsworth?

  Eat your prayer best.

• 1:42:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Stephen Colbert insists he's more conservative than people might think and not a lefty figure. We have to believe him, Bryce. You, you, you, you know, this guy doesn't have four.

• 1:42:30Speaker 05

  Four murders?

• 1:42:30Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, murders like, uh, Ta- Ta- Ta- Leonio.

• 1:42:33Speaker 05

  Ta- Leonio, yeah.

• 1:42:34Patrick Bet-David?

  So we, we have to believe him because according to Adam's theory, he ain't lying.

• 1:42:39Speaker 05

  But he's wearing the glasses.

• 1:42:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Hundred percent telling the truth.

• 1:42:41Speaker 05

  But he's wearing the glasses.

• 1:42:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's Stephen Colbert. Go ahead folks.

• 1:42:44Speaker 04

  You know, the demographics of these shows are interesting too.

• 1:42:46Speaker 05

  Huh.

• 1:42:47Speaker 04

  It's about a third, third, third. It's about a third Republicans, third Democrats, third independents. You think, you know, old, you know, people perceive me as this sort of lefty figure. I think I'm more conservative than people think. I just happen to be talking about, uh, a, a government in extremes.

• 1:43:05Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 1:43:05Speaker 04

  And so what I'm giving you is my reaction video to the day.

• 1:43:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, Adam, do you believe him?

• 1:43:12Speaker 05

  Well.

• 1:43:14Tom Ellsworth?

  You have to believe him.

• 1:43:15Adam Sosnick?

  This guy's not a murderer.

• 1:43:16Tom Ellsworth?

  He said it.

• 1:43:17Adam Sosnick?

  But he hates Trump.

• 1:43:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, of course, he's just an average, moderate guy who only has 99% of his guests being on the left and only dismantles Trump left and right. That does chimneys for COVID syringe vaccines. Of course, he's a conservative guy. Listen, Stephen Colbert, you could say what you want. I actually think Stephen Colbert is immensely talented, but he has been completely absorbed by the left. And he's, uh, perception is reality. I think when he did the Colbert Report and he portrayed this conservative guy.

• 1:43:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Going a very different angle, homie. Folks, forgive Adams.

• 1:43:55Tom Ellsworth?

  Naivete?

• 1:43:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Naivete and support for Mr. Colbert because Tom is about to give you a very different theory.

• 1:44:03Tom Ellsworth?

  To be honest with you, I thought it was Rachel Maddow that I was looking at.

• 1:44:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Going on. By the way, he did say something. Here's what he did say. He says, I don't generally say or do things that I don't mean on the shows unless I'm in character like a sketch. Tom, do you believe him?

• 1:44:17Tom Ellsworth?

  No, I believe that what's going on right now and also in a related story, CNN anchor has been pushing back on liberal critics. My job is not to take down Trump, says Caitlin Collins. She was on a, uh, podcast on Wednesday or speaking to somebody on Wednesday.

• 1:44:32Adam Sosnick?

  Hasan Minhaj.

• 1:44:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, exactly.

• 1:44:34Adam Sosnick?

  Nicki Minaj is.

• 1:44:35Tom Ellsworth?

  What the, what the moment showed was there was a lot of support for Trump. And I think it was jarring for some people to remember that maybe to see that reality of our job is not to sanitize things. When I say, well, this is what you want the narrative to be? No, this is what you want to happen? No. Oh my gosh, give me a break.

• 1:44:53Adam Sosnick?

  Is this the Barry Weiss effect?

• 1:44:54Tom Ellsworth?

  No, she is Caitlin Collins. Yes, it's the Barry Weiss effect and it's also you're not effing profitable effect. And it's also you're not getting a lot of audience effect. And it's a lot of, you know, there may be liberals in the CEO chairs, but they also have to look at profitability and look and running a profitable network. And ESPN has been cutting higher priced sports anchors for two and a half years saying that they have to get to a more economic. Um, outcome because they have to pay billions for get access to sports. So they can't afford to have all these anchors with this. This has been going on. I think everybody is running for cover, trying to appear a little bit more neutral,

• 1:45:38Tom Ellsworth?

  a little bit more objective, a little bit more to the center. They're all trying to do it. Remember Colbert, everybody's been been threatening about um, his show being canceled. Or you think it's going to get canceled? And then they're trying to spin it. Never mind, it's been losing money and we've seen all the stats on that. It was canceled.

• 1:45:56Tom Ellsworth?

  Colbert was canceled. Right. Yeah. So but in saying, never mind all that, never mind all that. Oh, I'm not such a bad guy. Uh, you know, I want to be back on. I want to be over here. That's what's going on. They're all sanitizing history and putting a spin on history because they see what's coming. And by the way, the funny thing about Caitlin Collins, she's kind of on a rookie contract. She's not on an Anderson Cooper contract. So and basically when they offered it for sale, there were leaks and supposedly's that that Zaz was at the Allen Conference in Idaho, telling people, and by the way, you can, we'll take care of some of the expensive contracts. But remember Caitlin's on a more economic contract. Of course.

• 1:46:40Tom Ellsworth?

  So he was actually telling people, hey, if you like her, she's young, she's in the demographic and she's on a better deal. You don't think they were saying that. Caitlin Collins should call, by the way. You, you don't think that they all know this? You don't think they're all sitting back saying?

• 1:46:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Is this the one that she says, my job isn't to, go ahead, go ahead and play this.

• 1:46:57Speaker 15

  Really what that moment showed was there was still a lot of support for Donald Trump. And I think it was darn for some people to remember that maybe and to see that. But that was reality and like our job is not to sanitize things and say, well, this is what you want the narrative to be, or this is what you want to happen.

• 1:47:12Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at the smugness.

• 1:47:12Speaker 15

  Our job is just to cover it as it happens and to show you what that was. And I think that town hall showed people that. Like my job is like not to take down Trump. I'm a reporter and an anchor.

• 1:47:23Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:47:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, with an earpiece and a producer.

• 1:47:25Speaker 05

  She's lying, sitting there next to another liar, Hassan Minaj. You remember the anthrax story that he said that he claimed white powder was sent to his house and he opened it and it spilled on his daughter and then went to the ER? Turns out, he was full of poo poo. Like, I don't, like, it's just nonsense. Yeah, like, Stephen Colbert saying that he's conservative is like Mike Tyson going, "Yeah, I'm a pathophth. No, you're not a pathophth. You're a fighter, bro." Like, stop lying and you nailed it. Rob's laughing.

• 1:47:52Tom Ellsworth?

  They're all trying to spin.

• 1:47:54Speaker 05

  Because they're trying to come back because they know you're going broke.

• 1:47:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he really fabricate the anthrax?

• 1:47:59Speaker 05

  Anthrax story, Hassan Minaj, that's the, yeah, involving the young.

• 1:48:02Tom Ellsworth?

  What?

• 1:48:02Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:48:03Tom Ellsworth?

  Next thing you're gonna tell me that Jussie Smollet didn't get assaulted by four Trump, uh, guys in Chicago.

• 1:48:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Was it a skit, like a joke that he made up?

• 1:48:11Speaker 05

  No, no.

• 1:48:12Patrick Bet-David?

  If it's a joke, I mean, I get it.

• 1:48:13Speaker 05

  No, absolutely not a joke.

• 1:48:15Patrick Bet-David?

  The Corin incident was a story shown with the powder at his apartment and this stand-up Minaj claimed the powder was accidentally spilled into his daughter, leading to a frantic reaction in New York. However, on September 20th, Prom Minaj confessed that his daughter was never exposed to the powder and was not hospitalized. He had received an envelope with the white powder, but the dramatic details about his daughter and the hospital visit were invented for dramatic to highlight the emotional truth of the fear he understands.

• 1:48:37Speaker 05

  Okay, like, he's trying to be like, you want, but he's a pusher of Trump and, and, and, uh, racism and the, the country was the worst. He's one of those.

• 1:48:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Wasn't he the comedian that you do the dinner or something, you know?

• 1:48:49Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, he did the White House Correspondents' Dinner, I believe.

• 1:48:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Like, eight years ago or six years ago.

• 1:48:52Tom Ellsworth?

  The thing about Steve Bannon, when he goes, "I do not see Steve Bannon, not see Steve Bannon."

• 1:48:58Speaker 05

  And in fact, he had a prom story. So, uh, uh, uh, in Homecoming King, he said a white classmate rejected him at prom because of his race showing up with a white boy instead, but the woman involved later disputed, saying she turned him down well before the night of the dance. So, it's like, it's, it's, I don't, I don't believe any of these people. And for Stephen Colbert, give me a freaking break. I'll, I'll respect you more if you just stick to your guns and say, "We hate Trump. We get paid to hate Trump. Even if we're losing money, it's Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump." That's it.

• 1:49:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, all I got to say is three things. Trump got paid settlements, number one. Number two, these networks or in media is, is unprofitable. Number three. There have been people losing their contracts and getting Jim Acosta and people getting sent out to the backyard for going on two and a half years now, especially ESPN. Point three, Barry Weiss and the Ellison's, you know, and Skydance. Point four, now they're seen saying, "Well, my job is not to take down Trump, it's to do this." Well, I'm more in the center, there's one-third, one-third returned as my audience. You're so full of crap.

• 1:49:57Adam Sosnick?

  There's no chance that a third, a third, a third of his audience is a turd.

• 1:50:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me go to the next story. While I'm going to this next story, you know some news? Rob Gargulio just passed a thousand Manex. Rob, please put your tweet. Can you put your tweet?

• 1:50:11Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at that guy.

• 1:50:12Patrick Bet-David?

  This is the greatest profile picture in the history of profile pictures.

• 1:50:14Tom Ellsworth?

  This guy's definitely not a quadruple, you know what?

• 1:50:17Patrick Bet-David?

  I love his three-piece suit.

• 1:50:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Let me see this guy.

• 1:50:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at this.

• 1:50:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Look at Rob, a total friendly guy. Invite him over for a meal. Rob, what's it called when the doctors look inside your rectal exam? What's it called? Colonoscopy? Rob is getting a colonoscopy right there.

• 1:50:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Go, Manect, Rob.

• 1:50:31Tom Ellsworth?

  Congrats, Rob.

• 1:50:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Congratulations, I've just crossed eight thousand.

• 1:50:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Nice.

• 1:50:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, with that, the perfect transition for the next story is transgender person who used women's locker room at Gold's Gym, stole ex-wife's name. Rob, can you first start off with the lady who is in the gym screaming and hollering? I want you to start off with that because, yeah, at first you're like, what is she doing?

• 1:50:53Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, why is she mad?

• 1:50:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch this one, go ahead, Rob.

• 1:50:55Speaker 21

  Gold's Gym, men, grown men with big dicks in the women's locker room. And that's why I'm getting kicked out, and I want to make sure the girls know. The fuck?

• 1:51:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Nobody cares, it's California.

• 1:51:12Speaker 21

  Everybody saw that man in the fucking locker room, no one's saying shit. And I'm fucking done with it. It's fucking stupid. It's dangerous.

• 1:51:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so.

• 1:51:29Speaker 21

  Me making it in front of a man without my permission.

• 1:51:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 1:51:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you, you're, I'm, I'm, listen, I understand.

• 1:51:36Tom Ellsworth?

  By the way, she's a lesbian, so we're clear. I think she came out and said, "I'm a lesbian, I'm part of the app."

• 1:51:42Patrick Bet-David?

  She is, she is. Can you show her reaction afterwards?

• 1:51:45Tom Ellsworth?

  Who's this guy?

• 1:51:46Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, Rob, show her interview, the African-American lady, if you don't have it.

• 1:51:51Tom Ellsworth?

  I'll find it.

• 1:51:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, she's talking about what happened and why she got kicked out. And she's like, listen, this doesn't make any sense, like, what the hell is going on? Okay? She's given her argument of what happened afterwards. There's a video of her explaining it. I don't know if you can find a clip or not. I'll try to find it, Rob. If you want to go to the next clip, whichever one you got. Do you actually have the clip of the guy?

• 1:52:13Speaker 05

  That's him. This is the transgender at the gym.

• 1:52:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead.

• 1:52:17Speaker 05

  This guy.

• 1:52:18Speaker 21

  Did you tell me or not that women like to see dicks? Exactly, exactly. Get out of the way. No, now he knows how to be a man, right? Now he knows how to be a man. Stay out of the women's locker room. We don't want it. He needs to have his gender membership revoked for that shit. And the woman told you.

• 1:52:37Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the transgender woman? That guy?

• 1:52:40Speaker 21

  We already filed reports. No, no. No. You can't get rid of me for this. I'm a woman.

• 1:52:47Patrick Bet-David?

  They want to get rid of her. They're kicking her out.

• 1:52:50Speaker 05

  What state is this in?

• 1:52:51Patrick Bet-David?

  And look, he's going back in the women's bathroom.

• 1:52:53Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:52:54Speaker 21

  It's not okay.

• 1:52:54Speaker 05

  California, Adam, where are you?

• 1:52:56Patrick Bet-David?

  This is in California?

• 1:52:57Speaker 05

  Patrick, I didn't see this clip. He's California. This is Cal- this is Gavin Newsom's California.

• 1:53:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have a video of the transgender guy speaking afterwards?

• 1:53:05Speaker 05

  He was on TMZ. They put him on TMZ and he's like, listen, I just, I haven't chopped it off. They asked him, have you gone through it yet? He's like, no, not yet. I think we're moving. Nobody goes full.

• 1:53:16Patrick Bet-David?

  So, do you have the clip? This, this is a...

• 1:53:20Speaker 05

  This is her?

• 1:53:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:53:21Speaker 05

  This is the lesbian woman?

• 1:53:22Patrick Bet-David?

  She actually is a woman.

• 1:53:23Speaker 05

  Okay, got it.

• 1:53:24Patrick Bet-David?

  She could be a lesbian, but she's a woman.

• 1:53:25Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:53:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead.

• 1:53:26Speaker 21

  I am a woman, hear me curse. I'm not telling anybody to be Republican or Democrat or anything, because I'm neither. I'm just a woman who's standing up for women's rights. And I don't give a fuck what you are. If you're a Republican, a Democrat, I don't care if you support Trump or Kamala. I don't give a fuck. All I need is people to come together for one thing, is to help women, to save women. Women, women, not fucking men with dicks and dresses, women, okay? Now, what do I think about trans? I don't fucking think about trans. I'm a fucking lady. I don't give a shit about trans. I don't get two fucks.

• 1:54:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, you can pause it. You know, I don't condone that language. Kindergarten cat and realize, boys have penises and women.

• 1:54:10Speaker 05

  Girls have vagina.

• 1:54:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I learned that when I was young. Okay, go ahead, Rob. Go above it. Go above it, Rob. Right there. No, the one above it, right there. That's the transgender. Look, go zoom out.

• 1:54:19Speaker 05

  That looks like me in a crop top.

• 1:54:21Patrick Bet-David?

  That's supposed to be a woman? The one on the right?

• 1:54:24Speaker 05

  The guy, that dude.

• 1:54:25Patrick Bet-David?

  See if you can find the tons of beer belly.

• 1:54:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Shanzo showed up on the sauce. Apparently, he has fully functioning junk, according to her.

• 1:54:31Speaker 05

  I just got him. I just got a message.

• 1:54:32Patrick Bet-David?

  He did an interview?

• 1:54:34Speaker 05

  Yeah, he was on TMZ.

• 1:54:35Patrick Bet-David?

  He him did the interview? Can you find his interview on?

• 1:54:38Speaker 05

  TMZ. I just got a message right now from somebody that works here. I don't want to give his name. I worked at Gold's Gym for about three years in downtown LA. They are notorious for letting guys use the women's bathroom. There was a guy, a witness, used the women's bathroom simply by wearing a crop top bra. And let me, Pat, so this guy, this guy, his real name is Grant Freeman, F R E E M A N. He's now going by Alexis Black. He did all this, right? He has quite a record, Rob. You want to look it up? He was charged with multiple drug offenses, including trafficking, possession, failure to comply. He was charged with third degree felony domestic violence and convicted in Ohio in November 2022 for, guess what? Brutally beating his ex-wife, breaking her jaw so badly she needed surgery.

• 1:55:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Stop it.

• 1:55:24Speaker 05

  Now, yes, Rob, look up Grant Freeman. And by the way, he beat her up.

• 1:55:29Tom Ellsworth?

  Let's be sure that we're connected here. So this in Ohio, this, we have allegedly found a connection here. And multiple sources are seeing the point these. So we're reacting to these sources that this is the same guy's background.

• 1:55:44Speaker 05

  Exactly. So, yeah, so allegedly, this is, he has the record, Rob. If you go on, go on X and look it up.

• 1:55:50Patrick Bet-David?

  What is his name?

• 1:55:50Speaker 05

  Lives of TikTok, did a deep dive on him.

• 1:55:52Tom Ellsworth?

  What's the guy's name?

• 1:55:53Speaker 05

  So the guy's name, right now, his female name is Alexis Black, but his old name was Grant Freeman, F R E E M A N.

• 1:56:02Tom Ellsworth?

  And the sources we've seen is this is a report coming out of Ohio.

• 1:56:06Speaker 05

  Coming out of Ohio, that they're saying, Rob.

• 1:56:10Speaker 05

  That this guy Grant Freeman was charged with beating his wife and giving him a Robert, did I send you the link of on, I think I slacked it to you.

• 1:56:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Wow.

• 1:56:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, so beating his wife and then he took her name.

• 1:56:24Tom Ellsworth?

  If this is that guy and now he's Miss Black and he was Mr. Freeman.

• 1:56:28Speaker 05

  Hold on, Rob.

• 1:56:29Tom Ellsworth?

  If this is that guy, that's a, that's.

• 1:56:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Yup.

• 1:56:33Speaker 05

  God bless you.

• 1:56:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, do you have the TMZ interview? If you don't, I found it.

• 1:56:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, yeah. Could you send that to me?

• 1:56:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's on, yeah, I have it. Alexis Black, right there, just send it to Rob if you want to go through it.

• 1:56:44Speaker 05

  And I slacked you too, Rob.

• 1:56:45Patrick Bet-David?

  So you should see he put makeup on and on to be ready for TMZ. Here's Alexis Black, folks, or what's his real name? You said Tyrone, what was his real name?

• 1:56:56Speaker 05

  Tyrone. Tyrone. It's not come out of my nose.

• 1:56:59Tom Ellsworth?

  Tyrone Schelaces.

• 1:57:00Speaker 05

  His, the, the real name allegedly is Grant Freeman, who now goes by the name Alexis Black is his trans name and that's his ex-girlfriend.

• 1:57:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's go, here's the company where they were celebrating Charlie Kirk's in her back that they didn't want to reveal the videos and they never apologized for it. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:57:17Speaker 22

  Is one of the people that, that Tish says she confronted in the locker room. Her name is Alexis Black and she's joining us now. Alexis, welcome to TMZ Live. Hi. Hey Alexis. Say me when I do costume. We spoke with Tish and she said when she came face to face with you, it was obvious to her you were a man. So, you know, I don't want to get terribly graphic here, but can you kind of explain, you know, how you appeared, you know, do you believe that she was reading something in that you didn't appear to be male? She perceived you to be such.

• 1:58:02Speaker 23

  Um, well, first, I told the people that raised me that this is the way that I was when I was eight years old and really I stuffed it down pretty deep and I began using Oh, man, you did, buddy. Oh, boy. And I actually relinquished that information to her about, you know, name change and it says female on my ID and hormones and I mean, I'm registered as a female with the gym, so.

• 1:58:32Speaker 22

  And were you at that moment, because she told us about a couple of different encounters. Were you fully clothed at that moment?

• 1:58:40Speaker 23

  Uh, well, she has become aggressive with me on four different occasions, actually at different locations in Los Angeles at Gold's Gym, but, um.

• 1:58:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at that vein on the neck. You know she bent, he bent just two plates.

• 1:58:53Speaker 23

  I believe I was enrobed in a towel on one occasion and this last time I was clothed the entire time.

• 1:59:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Squad, at least three plates.

• 1:59:05Speaker 22

  Okay. I, you know, again, I apologize if this is too graphic, but I just think it's important. Have you?

• 1:59:11Speaker 23

  Let's speak truth, baby.

• 1:59:13Speaker 22

  Okay. Have you fully transitioned?

• 1:59:14Speaker 23

  Look at the excuse. Be clearer when you say that.

• 1:59:17Speaker 22

  Yeah. Your genitalia.

• 1:59:21Speaker 23

  Um, that is a process that requires quite lengthy work. Like, for instance, I sat in a chair and had hair follicles removed from my face for two hours yesterday in a process called electrolysis in order to have that surgery down.

• 1:59:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Please stop. I'm good.

• 1:59:42Speaker 23

  I've had enough.

• 1:59:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:59:43Speaker 05

  So, Pat, you have that picture? So, Rob, I sent you what I sent you. So, Pat, this is?

• 1:59:48Tom Ellsworth?

  Those are suspicious answers. He didn't say.

• 1:59:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that her right there, Vinnie?

• 1:59:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Him.

• 1:59:52Speaker 05

  So, this is him, she, him. So, Grant, this is what Lives of TikTok put out, that this is the guy that has the domestic abuse. Uh, it looks pretty much like him without all the hair on his face. Well, he did the.

• 2:00:04Tom Ellsworth?

  So multiple sources are connecting.

• 2:00:06Speaker 05

  Exactly.

• 2:00:07Tom Ellsworth?

  This guy back in his Ohio time as Grant Freeman. Apparently, you know, according to this, there's a mugshot and there's a.

• 2:00:15Speaker 05

  Yeah, Tish Hyman, the, the black, the black girl right there that she posted something saying, Grant Freeman, 32 years old, date of birth, 2/28/1993, from, uh, uh, sentencing county, Hamilton, Lebanon Correctional, Ohio, failed to comply, drug trafficking, and he has, uh, an assault charge.

• 2:00:32Tom Ellsworth?

  And so this is sentencing information in Department of Corrections. So we're, we're not supposing here.

• 2:00:37Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:00:38Tom Ellsworth?

  The formal Grant Thornton comes out to LA and it is now in these altercations with this very upset, uh, woman, and you can imagine why she's upset if she's encountering, uh, you know, an individual hasn't transitioned and says, hey, that, those are, that's male genitalia. That's, that's junk there and you're in here showering with us. And if you still got your junk, you still have your capability of rape. And so why wouldn't she be upset?

• 2:01:03Speaker 05

  Yeah, and Gold Gym, Gold Gym officially, Gold, Gold Gym's stance is that people can use whatever locker room matches their gender identity. They don't care about safety. They don't care about dingaling's hanging out, just more of the same nonsense. Like you, you, right when you think we're done, we're done. California has to prove that.

• 2:01:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 2:01:22Speaker 05

  They're not stopping.

• 2:01:22Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, this is the Chappelle joke. This was the whole thing. He's like, listen, we're good with the L's, we're good with the G's, we're good with the B's or the Q's. The T's, the T's are making everything a little bit more challenging.

• 2:01:35Speaker 05

  What do you mean a little bit?

• 2:01:35Tom Ellsworth?

  And then you have a black lesbian basically going ham on the T community, being like, what is going on here?

• 2:01:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:01:41Tom Ellsworth?

  And you have some dude, literal dude, who shaves his face.

• 2:01:44Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:01:44Tom Ellsworth?

  Puts on some lipstick and he's like, what do you mean?

• 2:01:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, I'm a.

• 2:01:47Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm one of you guys.

• 2:01:48Speaker 05

  How transitioned do you mean?

• 2:01:49Tom Ellsworth?

  Forget that I have a.

• 2:01:50Speaker 05

  No.

• 2:01:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Bulge and everything, it's just.

• 2:01:52Speaker 05

  Beyond bulge, California. Not good.

• 2:01:55Tom Ellsworth?

  Never mind that, he's got a criminal record for assault against other humans.

• 2:01:59Speaker 05

  That's assault, brother.

• 2:02:00Tom Ellsworth?

  That's Grant Freeman.

• 2:02:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:02:01Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, never, I mean, that, that's what it says.

• 2:02:03Speaker 05

  Free man.

• 2:02:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Today, he saw me walk into the women's room, followed me and called me a bitch.

• 2:02:10Adam Sosnick?

  And I ran out.

• 2:02:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I ran out of crying and screaming.

• 2:02:13Adam Sosnick?

  Wow. Shout out to Mario.

• 2:02:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, wow. Okay, all right, let's keep.

• 2:02:17Adam Sosnick?

  What does the bottom say, Rob?

• 2:02:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's, uh.

• 2:02:20Adam Sosnick?

  Screaming.

• 2:02:21Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I don't want to see the rest of it. It's good.

• 2:02:23Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:02:23Patrick Bet-David?

  At this point, I, we got it out of our system, guys. We're gonna be okay. Next story I want to get to before we wrap up is two stories. Next one is McDonald's. U.S. Sales Rise But Profits Fall Short As It Warns Americans Are Dining Out Less. Okay, so if we go, Rob, do me a favor. Put a, put a, put a post, a poll, say, are you dining out less than you were five years ago? Okay, just, maybe not even five years ago. Are you dining out less than you were in 2019? Okay, um, let's see what they're gonna say. McDonald's saw key sales metric jump in third quarter as a double down

• 2:03:06Patrick Bet-David?

  on discount meals, but it fell short on earnings as a warn anxious Americans have cut back on dining out. U.S. Same Stores increased 2.4% for second straight quarter. That beat estimates of a 1.9% rise, though McDonald's attributed this to a larger average check implying diners are paying more for their meals despite the fast food industry value wars. Overall, the same store, uh, sales rose 3.6% revisiting a decline of 1.5% previous year. McDonald's CEO Chris Kamjinsky said that the results are a testament to our ability to deliver sustainable growth even in a challenging environment. Shares in world's largest fast food chain jumped 2% Wednesday morning, but the golden arches continue to warn that Americans are dining out

• 2:03:49Patrick Bet-David?

  less often, especially on low-income diners. We continue to see a bifurcated consumer base with traffic from lower-income customers declining nearly double digits in the third quarter, a trend that's persisted for nearly two years. Wow, that's pretty interesting, Rob, when you see that. So, um, Tom, thoughts on this story with McDonald's? Rob, I want to see the poll in a minute as well, if you don't mind, but go ahead, Tom.

• 2:04:12Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, so the first thing is McDonald's has seen the sales rise. That's the top, that's the revenue number.

• 2:04:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:04:18Tom Ellsworth?

  So they're seeing the revenue go up. And if you've been into McDonald's or you've seen them, you can see that the prices of number one to eight, the meal deals that are up there, is up. And so inflation has reached McDonald's and then not just yesterday, but over the last three years, and it's very, very real. So fewer low income are coming in for basics. And that's been going on, they said, for two years dating back to the Biden administrations and the Biden inflation that came out of the Biden economy, which was the fault of Joe Biden. So you see that's been going on for two years and they're warning and saying, hey, look, low income people are coming in less and less and our sales are being driven

• 2:05:00Tom Ellsworth?

  because our top line sales number is up because following inflation, we had to raise our prices a bit and those diners are still here. But when they say bifurcated, they're saying there's two sides of society. There's people that can afford what's the inflation that's happened and they're still here and our revenue numbers up a little bit and therefore their stocks up a little bit. But America, the lower income people are coming in less and less and this has been going on for two years, which shows the stress that the low end people are under. We need paying jobs. We need the things that Trump is putting in place, 1.5 trillion dollars of investment by companies, you know, coming to in America on factories

• 2:05:44Tom Ellsworth?

  and we need those jobs to happen. And this is the, we're coming and they're saying this is two years. So this has been going on for two years and Trump's not going to get it turned around in nine months. But what it shows is that there's two sides to America going on right now and it's real and it's affordability and it's the exit result of the, you know, the Biden inflation, but we got to recover and there's a new sheriff in town and he needs time for a lot of policies to help.

• 2:06:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, what's the poll looking like? Let's look at the poll. What are people saying about if they're dining out less? Oh, they are. Huh.

• 2:06:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Interesting, and that's our audience saying this. It's a very interesting, the fact that people are dining out less than they were in 2019. Pre-COVID, right? Yeah, that's why I asked the question, pre-COVID, why aren't they dining out less than 2019? Can you go to McDonald's just to see what the prices are nowadays? Let's just go to McDonald's menu and prices. Is there a, does it show us prices or not at all? Yeah, get an image of the one to eight, Rob, you know?

• 2:06:48Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know, but I'm getting real hungry right now.

• 2:06:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Last time I had a Big Mac was September of 97, let me tell you, that looks- You haven't had a Big Mac since 97? September of 97.

• 2:06:57Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, you're missing out, Pat, you gotta live a little bit, Trump can hook you up.

• 2:07:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at that right there, what is it, Big Mac? Are you joking?

• 2:07:04Speaker 05

  How much?

• 2:07:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Does it say 8.39?

• 2:07:06Speaker 05

  8.39.

• 2:07:08Patrick Bet-David?

  For the meal?

• 2:07:08Speaker 05

  No, the sandwich!

• 2:07:10Patrick Bet-David?

  For the burger!

• 2:07:11Speaker 05

  Eight, I can make you a gourmet-

• 2:07:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Quarter Pounder is eight bucks.

• 2:07:14Adam Sosnick?

  How much is the McDouble, though?

• 2:07:17Patrick Bet-David?

  The heart attacks for free. Chicken McNuggets is 8.39?

• 2:07:20Adam Sosnick?

  No way.

• 2:07:21Patrick Bet-David?

  No way, that has to come with a combo. Rob, can you go back and let's just see what these prices were 20 years ago? Is there a way to do that? Just say, what about 2019? Yeah, maybe go to 2019, how much have prices of,

• 2:07:36Patrick Bet-David?

  how much has prices of a Big Mac at McDonald's increased the last six years?

  And just FYI, I got another message. Deli said Uber Eats and delivery apps have better deals than if you go in person. It's better if you stay home and order it.

• 2:08:28Patrick Bet-David?

  So 21% is by year though. Because if it goes from, it's not 5.29 today. On their website, it says 8 bucks. So 4.39 was the price in 2021, 2019. Go on the website. Rob, are you sure that's just the price for the Big Mac? Or is that a meal? That's gotta be the meal.

• 2:08:49Speaker 05

  Let's see if it's read more.

• 2:08:50Adam Sosnick?

  McDonald's, no, that's the classic beef nutrition.

• 2:08:52Speaker 19

  Big Mac price, 6.72.

• 2:08:54Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 2:08:55Patrick Bet-David?

  So 6.72 from, what number was it before?

• 2:09:00Speaker 05

  4 something in 2019.

• 2:09:01Patrick Bet-David?

  And what was it, what was it in 2000 and, what was it in 2015? Because that's 10 years.

• 2:09:09Speaker 05

  I won't say 2.75.

• 2:09:10Patrick Bet-David?

  What was it in 2015?

• 2:09:12Speaker 05

  What?

• 2:09:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so that's relatively the same. Go to, go to 19.99.

• 2:09:19Speaker 05

  A lot of people.

• 2:09:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Print. Go to 19.99.

• 2:09:21Speaker 05

  You have a lot of people who are buying Big Macs today because of this.

• 2:09:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's see this one. 19.99 was 2.45.

• 2:09:29Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 2:09:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, if we can go back to 19.99 prices, I'll buy a Big Mac.

• 2:09:34Speaker 05

  Let's go.

• 2:09:35Patrick Bet-David?

  But I can't do the $6 stuff.

• 2:09:36Speaker 05

  You don't take your kids, you don't take your kids to McDonald's?

• 2:09:39Adam Sosnick?

  What, they give them poison nuggets?

• 2:09:40Patrick Bet-David?

  No.

• 2:09:41Adam Sosnick?

  What?

• 2:09:41Speaker 05

  You wanna give them poison, bro?

• 2:09:43Adam Sosnick?

  Your kids don't get Happy Meals?

• 2:09:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you actually being serious?

• 2:09:44Speaker 05

  I'm being serious. Your kids don't go to McDonald's?

• 2:09:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen.

• 2:09:48Speaker 05

  Have you seen how in shape his kids are?

• 2:09:50Adam Sosnick?

  Believe me, Tico kicks my ass.

• 2:09:51Speaker 05

  Dylan's calves are bigger than my biceps.

• 2:09:54Adam Sosnick?

  This guy's all, you think he's eating nuggets, dude?

• 2:09:57Speaker 05

  Okay, hold on.

• 2:09:58Adam Sosnick?

  What, are you nuts?

• 2:09:59Speaker 05

  You're telling me that Santa's like, "I want a Happy Meal"? She doesn't get it?

• 2:10:02Patrick Bet-David?

  In Dallas, maybe. Let me actually ask.

• 2:10:06Speaker 05

  You're taking the In-N-Out Burger.

• 2:10:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me ask.

• 2:10:07Speaker 05

  That's a whole different situation, Adam.

• 2:10:09Adam Sosnick?

  In-N-Out Burger's a different situation.

• 2:10:11Patrick Bet-David?

  How often, how often in the last 90 days have you taken the kids?

• 2:10:17Patrick Bet-David?

  To McDonald's. I'm actually not curious. By the way, let's see what's going.

• 2:10:20Speaker 05

  I saw.

• 2:10:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, a fight's about to break out live.

• 2:10:23Speaker 05

  By the way, I don't know if you guys, shout out to McDonald's though. I saw somebody take a Big Mac and they put it like in a glass case and put it in the attic for nine years. Nothing changed. Nothing happened. And then they poured like lot, like hot smoldering lava on the bun. It just flew right off.

• 2:10:39Adam Sosnick?

  That's true.

• 2:10:39Speaker 05

  That's not good, Adam. Lava should go through a Big Mac.

• 2:10:42Patrick Bet-David?

  The index that I think Humberto sent, is that showing like what the prices are?

• 2:10:45Speaker 19

  Yeah, across different countries.

• 2:10:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me see you zoom in a little bit from the highest to the lowest. Switzerland's the highest, Argentina, Uruguay, we are the sixth highest. Who's the lowest?

• 2:10:55Speaker 19

  Reality.

• 2:10:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Go all the way to the bottom.

• 2:10:57Adam Sosnick?

  North Korea, they use a rat.

• 2:10:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Taiwan.

• 2:10:59Adam Sosnick?

  So dumb.

• 2:11:01Patrick Bet-David?

  India's 262. India's 262. Interesting. 262 in India.

• 2:11:07Adam Sosnick?

  Probably not a lot of beef in that thing in India.

• 2:11:09Speaker 05

  Look at Ukraine. See, things are looking up in Ukraine. Big Mac, 286.

• 2:11:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, there you go. So that's McDonald's for you.

• 2:11:16Adam Sosnick?

  So did Jed answer the question?

• 2:11:17Speaker 05

  You know, in India, is there beef in this?

• 2:11:19Adam Sosnick?

  What?

• 2:11:19Patrick Bet-David?

  But yeah, so.

• 2:11:20Adam Sosnick?

  What do you think the answer is? Cause I don't want to leave our audience hanging.

• 2:11:23Patrick Bet-David?

  I want to say three times maybe in the last 90 days.

• 2:11:26Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, alright.

• 2:11:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Four times in the last 90 days.

• 2:11:29Adam Sosnick?

  That's fair.

• 2:11:29Patrick Bet-David?

  It has to be a special. First of all, do you know what time Dylan went to sleep last night? 1 a.m.

• 2:11:34Adam Sosnick?

  What's that guy doing?

• 2:11:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, I, I, the guy had four hours of homework to do after his soccer practice was done at 9:45. We stayed up till 1 a.m. Like, he come, he was, by the first of all, he did hour and a half tutoring right after school to finish up his homework. And then another three hours last night. By the way, the kid will not go until he wraps up his.

• 2:11:57Adam Sosnick?

  That's great. You know what he deserves for all that respect?

• 2:11:59Speaker 05

  I'll tell you Big Mac, Adam.

• 2:12:00Adam Sosnick?

  Happy Meal, bro. Put that kid up.

• 2:12:02Patrick Bet-David?

  I will take him to some other places, but we ain't going to the, the, the Big Mac daddy type of stuff.

• 2:12:08Adam Sosnick?

  Dylan, keep doing your homework, buddy. Uncle Adam's gonna take you for a Happy Meal.

• 2:12:12Patrick Bet-David?

  One, oh wow, look what Jen said. I want you to see the text. What's the answer?

• 2:12:17Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the answer?

• 2:12:18Adam Sosnick?

  Zero.

• 2:12:19Patrick Bet-David?

  What does she say next?

• 2:12:21Adam Sosnick?

  When are you coming home daddy? I'm sorry.

• 2:12:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Daddy's home.

• 2:12:25Adam Sosnick?

  Daddy's home. Maybe once a year.

• 2:12:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Maybe once a year.

• 2:12:27Adam Sosnick?

  Wow, Jen, good for you.

• 2:12:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:12:30Adam Sosnick?

  Just to clear the air here, are you just anti McDonald's? Are you anti bad fast food?

• 2:12:34Patrick Bet-David?

  No, we made a decision a few years ago to try to make the diet for the kids better. We, we, our kids haven't had cereal for almost three years.

• 2:12:41Adam Sosnick?

  And like I said, they look in shape.

• 2:12:43Patrick Bet-David?

  One cereal in three years. One cereal for three years.

• 2:12:46Adam Sosnick?

  Hey.

• 2:12:46Patrick Bet-David?

  And I, by the way, I love my Coco Crispies. This Coco's a chocolatey.

• 2:12:50Adam Sosnick?

  Fruity Pebbles?

• 2:12:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Stop it.

• 2:12:52Adam Sosnick?

  Cinnamon Toast cookies.

• 2:12:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

• 2:12:54Adam Sosnick?

  But by the way.

• 2:12:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Hey, focus guys.

• 2:12:56Adam Sosnick?

  But Brooklyn does get her ice cream though. Yeah, one scoop. And she dances while she eats. Can we give a shout out to our, our restaurant yesterday in Miami Sexy Fish?

• 2:13:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Sexy Fish?

• 2:13:06Adam Sosnick?

  Forget about it.

• 2:13:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, they knew a guy at the table was going to jail and they get.

• 2:13:10Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, one of our friends.

• 2:13:11Speaker 05

  See you guys when I get out, fellas.

• 2:13:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have that skit of you guys in the bathroom?

• 2:13:14Adam Sosnick?

  Who has it?

• 2:13:14Speaker 05

  I have.

• 2:13:15Patrick Bet-David?

  So check this out. I tell these guys, I don't know if you guys have been to Sexy Fish. Shout out to those guys, they're great guys. So, right after America Business Forum, I'm done. We go over there to eat some good sushi. And I go upstairs in a bathroom and I'm like, what the hell is, guys? You know how you go to the bathroom and there's a guy that's asking for money?

• 2:13:33Adam Sosnick?

  What is that guy called?

• 2:13:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. Five dollars you pay them.

• 2:13:36Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 2:13:36Patrick Bet-David?

  This guy had an attitude. By the way, he pissed Vinnie off because of what happened in the past. Apparently you guys had a connection from previously what he had done to you, which was.

• 2:13:45Adam Sosnick?

  We dated the same girl.

• 2:13:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you guys have this clip or not?

• 2:13:48Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I just sent it to Rob. It was an unfortunate case. I'm sorry, Vinnie had to deal with this, man.

• 2:13:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you comfortable with me showing this? I don't want to put you in a position like this.

• 2:13:54Adam Sosnick?

  I just, I just, I don't like awkward moments.

• 2:13:56Patrick Bet-David?

  The fact that I brought it up, I don't even want to bring it up. Let's just move on. If you're good with showing it.

• 2:14:01Adam Sosnick?

  That's fine, that's fine, that's fine.

• 2:14:02Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, which one is this? Is it the?

• 2:14:03Adam Sosnick?

  It's the first one, yeah.

• 2:14:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, all right, so go ahead, Rob.

• 2:14:07Adam Sosnick?

  I told you to just chill with Vinnie. He's like, emotional guy, just take it.

• 2:14:11Speaker 05

  Look at him, look at him staring at me.

• 2:14:12Adam Sosnick?

  Why is he staring at me like that?

• 2:14:13Speaker 05

  He's just chill, dude.

• 2:14:15Adam Sosnick?

  Honestly, he's everybody's girl, bro.

• 2:14:17Speaker 05

  No, he's a cool shit.

• 2:14:18Adam Sosnick?

  Look at him, he's scuba though.

• 2:14:20Speaker 05

  He's scuba though.

• 2:14:21Adam Sosnick?

  No, but he's cool like that, bro.

• 2:14:22Speaker 05

  He's not like that, bro.

• 2:14:23Adam Sosnick?

  Stop, man.

• 2:14:27Adam Sosnick?

  Daniel Craig, just giving me the meme. Always trying to hook up with everybody's girl. He's just in there all day.

• 2:14:33Speaker 05

  By the way, Rob, I don't know if you have that second video. Look at these desserts here.

• 2:14:36Patrick Bet-David?

  The moment you walk in to the place, you see that guy.

• 2:14:38Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:14:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:14:39Adam Sosnick?

  He scared the hell out of me.

• 2:14:40Patrick Bet-David?

  What does this place cost? Blue Fish?

• 2:14:40Adam Sosnick?

  Sexy Fish.

• 2:14:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Sexy Fish.

• 2:14:42Adam Sosnick?

  Can I give Vinnie a quick little shout out?

• 2:14:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Here we go, guys.

• 2:14:44Adam Sosnick?

  We're there at, what time were we there? 3 o'clock?

• 2:14:46Speaker 19

  3?

• 2:14:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, 3 o'clock. It took us 10 minutes to get there.

• 2:14:50Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, of course. Yeah, Mateo was totally right.

• 2:14:51Speaker 19

  Jessica was the waitress and she was...

• 2:14:53Adam Sosnick?

  She was great. And she goes, "If you don't like my service, call me." You were like busting Mateo. He's trying to do his job, dude. I'm kidding.

• 2:14:58Patrick Bet-David?

  First of all.

• 2:14:59Adam Sosnick?

  Vinnie goes...

• 2:15:00Patrick Bet-David?

  If there was a fight, I do think Mateo can hang.

• 2:15:03Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, Mateo's gangster.

• 2:15:04Patrick Bet-David?

  But go ahead. No, no, go ahead, go ahead.

• 2:15:05Adam Sosnick?

  I got no issues with Mateo. He just, he just...

• 2:15:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead.

• 2:15:08Adam Sosnick?

  Timing.

• 2:15:08Speaker 19

  He loves both of your balls.

• 2:15:09Patrick Bet-David?

  10 minutes.

• 2:15:10Adam Sosnick?

  Vinnie goes, "Dude, the women here..." By the way, it's Brickhead, Miami, downtown. I'm like...

• 2:15:16Patrick Bet-David?

  That's what you're gonna see on camera?

• 2:15:17Adam Sosnick?

  I'm just saying. Because the women here are incredible. I go, "Vinnie, this is the 3 o'clock PM shift." And even the maître d', the hostess, he goes, "Why don't you come tonight at 10 o'clock?"

• 2:15:28Speaker 19

  Yeah, like, "I'm gonna hang out."

• 2:15:28Adam Sosnick?

  He's like, "Vinnie's like, 'I'll be fast asleep by then.'" I go, "Yeah, 10 o'clock?" The 10 show up at 10, the 3 show up at 3.

• 2:15:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you finish it up? We're just giving a shout out to Nancy Pelosi. The greatest trader in Congress ever. Uh, her ability with the investment she made in her career.

• 2:15:43Adam Sosnick?

  We love you, Nancy.

• 2:15:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Life-changing. I don't think she gets enough credit. Uh, I think we do need to give her love. Rob, is this...

• 2:15:49Speaker 19

  If she had been in charge of Social Security, it wouldn't be in this mess.

• 2:15:52Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 2:15:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, what is this right now?

• 2:15:54Speaker 19

  This is her announcing her retirement, and then I also have a clip of her talking about the president.

• 2:15:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you intentionally pause the picture of what her lips...

• 2:16:00Adam Sosnick?

  She looks like a, like a who.

• 2:16:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead, Rob. Just play. Go ahead, Rob.

• 2:16:02Adam Sosnick?

  She has no teeth.

• 2:16:03Speaker 24

  I will not be seeking reelection to Congress.

• 2:16:06Patrick Bet-David?

  No way.

• 2:16:07Speaker 24

  With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative. Thank you, San Francisco, for trusting me to be your voice in Congress. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

• 2:16:24Patrick Bet-David?

  And then is this a one on one where she gives credit to Trump for her career and all the accomplishments? Go ahead, Rob.

• 2:16:31Speaker 24

  He's just a vile creature. The worst thing on the face of the earth.

• 2:16:36Speaker 02

  You think he's the worst thing on the face of the earth?

• 2:16:39Speaker 24

  I do, yeah.

• 2:16:40Speaker 02

  Why is that?

• 2:16:41Speaker 24

  Because he's the president of the United States and he does not honor the Constitution of the United States. In fact, he's turned the Supreme Court into a rogue court. He's abolished the House of Representatives. He's chilled.

• 2:16:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so now, and then this is what Fetterman had to say, which nowadays Fetterman is a sound of reason on, you know, when it comes out to stuff. Can you imagine like Fetterman? If you want some reason, go to this guy. Go ahead, go ahead.

• 2:17:09Speaker 25

  I would say that's part of the worst creatures on the face of the earth are Hamas or like the leadership of Iran or there's a lot of people on that. I would never use those kind of a terms and, and I wouldn't describe our president. You can really disagree with him and I do disagree, but I don't think that's really entirely appropriate, but that's her words for, for that. So for, for, for me, that's just a different kinds of a Democrat for me. I don't gonna call people, they're fascists, they're Nazis or compare the people in, in those kinds of a terms.

• 2:17:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. President Trump said for almost four decades, he almost started with four score years ago because, you know, she was, she's been around for a while. Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make their country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed and I will always be grateful for support on Affordable Care Act. She made us proud to be Democrats and will go down to history as one of the best speakers the House of Representatives has ever had. Nancy, thank you for your leadership and friendship. Michelle and I wish you and Paul the best in the next chapter. Tom, are you like, and I know this is sentimental to you, are you going to miss her?

• 2:18:19Tom Ellsworth?

  Uh, no, I'm not gonna miss her policies. I'm not gonna miss her divisiveness. I'm not gonna miss that side of it. I will say this, we need to turn to history and look at it. As the female Speaker of the House, that was a huge accomplishment. As a young girl that wanted to rise up and serve in government, she made it there, she stayed there. We can say a lot of things about her portfolio, facts on the table. We can say a lot of things about her policies, facts on the table, and we can say we disagree with her. But the one element that I will give her credit for is a young girl wanted to go serve and wanted to make it, and she did. And what she did with that power when she got there, I don't

• 2:19:01Tom Ellsworth?

  think was entirely good for all of America, and I'm not gonna miss her. But I'll give that balanced assessment. And I think one of the big accomplishments was also from her husband, Paul. You know, who knew that if your house is trying to be broken into at 2:00 a.m., you're supposed to pour drinks, take off your pants, and mingle? Most people go for the gun, you know? That's where you're gonna go? So, I will say this.

• 2:19:30Speaker 05

  Oh, no! Oh, no! Let me take my pants off!

• 2:19:33Tom Ellsworth?

  There are things that are odd, but I meant what I said about her. I mean, she became female Speaker of the House, and she, you know, and she had a lot of power there. I'm not gonna miss her policies and the way and what she did with that.

• 2:19:45Speaker 05

  Oh, her district is absolutely disgusting. If you look at her district, it's absolutely, there's people on the street, there's homeless people. Like, Pat, this is, Rob, you could just...

• 2:19:55Tom Ellsworth?

  There's a lot of different report cards that are fact-based.

• 2:19:58Speaker 05

  Yeah, look at this, guys. This is a lady that's traveling to work daily in Tenderloin, San Francisco. This is her district, and it looks like a zombie ville. People on the street, garbage in the streets. So, this is Nancy Pelosi, all she can... I mind you, I give you credit, Tom, for saying that. Man, what a... She did it for the Democratic cause and what they want, and all the illegals and bowing down to BLM and all. She did a fantastic job, and she's been on the taxpayer role for 38 years, earning a salary of $174,000 a year. She is leaving.

• 2:20:32Tom Ellsworth?

  What was lower when she started? That's today.

• 2:20:35Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's today. Her net worth in 1987 was $165,000. Guess what it was last year? $280 million. So you want to talk about vile creatures that cheat the system and do all the thing to get ahead. And meanwhile, her district of San Francisco looks like that? Ladies and gentlemen, Nancy Pelosi.

• 2:20:55Tom Ellsworth?

  Boy, that kind of money, they could afford an alarm system at the house. And he wouldn't have had to answer the door and pour drinks and all that?

• 2:21:00Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:21:01Adam Sosnick?

  Well, uh, listen, I, I'm not as hard on Nancy Pelosi as maybe you guys. I, I don't think I'm, I'm not a fan. But I will give her credit, or credits due. I think she's the first female Speaker of the House ever. She's been serving in Congress, what, 40 years? Crazy.

  38, whatever.

• 2:21:19Adam Sosnick?

  You know, where I actually developed a little bit of respect for Nancy Pelosi was when she visited Taiwan. Uh, this was, I think in 2022, and this was right at the height of China and this and that. And I think she or China warned her, do not go to Taiwan. Do not show that there's alignment with the US and Taiwan. And Nancy Pelosi said, screw you, China. I'm gonna do what I gotta do. That was a gangster move on her end. Uh, there's, obviously we could critique her on what's going on with the stock trade and everything. Yeah, there she was right there. That was a gangster move. I mean, we could rip her to shreds in a lot of things, especially, you know, clap for Trump. But you know, there's some, some things that, uh, we abide by here at Valuetainment that Pat has taught us.

• 2:22:04Adam Sosnick?

  PHP, you say outwork, outimprove, outstrategize, outlast. She's done all that. The one thing I would say that she probably has not necessarily done was outimprove. But she's definitely outworked, outstrategized, and outlasted a lot of the people out there in politics and, uh...

• 2:22:20Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not for everybody. Politics is nasty. You gotta learn how to fight. It's dirty. And, uh, she's, uh, wrestled with the best and she's been a nasty one as well.

• 2:22:29Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:22:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Leading the way. But, uh, you know, we will wish her nothing but the best. I do want to show this, uh, question from Manek that was sent in there. Tom, I'm gonna come to you with this one and see what you're gonna be saying. So this is from Greg Van Louven. Greg Van Louven. Great name.

• 2:22:47Patrick Bet-David?

  He says, "One of my best friends was born and raised in the Bronx." Tom, I want a two-minute answer. I don't want to be a long... I'm gonna show something before we wrap up.

• 2:22:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, I'll give my version, Adam.

• 2:22:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's perfect. "One of the best friends was born and raised in the Bronx and was running... has been running a small business under 10 employees, doing tours in New York City over the last 10 years. For someone like him, where the politics governing the city makes a massive difference on their livelihood, but where he doesn't necessarily have the means to pick up and leave, what would your best advice be for him and his family over the next four years?"

• 2:23:19Tom Ellsworth?

  So if you're running a tour guide business in New York, you know, everyone is not leaving. It's not gonna become a ghost town. And you may need to adapt your product to the consumer. And perhaps you need to now move that tour guide to things that liberals would like to see. And remember, Michael Jordan said, "Republicans buy sneakers too." So if you can't pick up and move because of the course of your business, you know, you can respond to the market and you don't have to like everything about the market, but as Michael Jordan said, "Republicans buy sneakers too." I would adapt myself for the people that want to be there in New York and that maybe

• 2:24:03Tom Ellsworth?

  are coming to visit and adapt your tours for them. And if you absolutely, positively can't move and can't go anywhere else, that's where I would go. But I will say this, there's a tremendous amount of great stuff going on in Miami. If you made it down to Miami and the tours that you could go on Miami and seen what's happened down there, to the Freedom Tower that's at Miami-Dade Cows, which was a symbol for the people that came from Cuba, you can do it. But if you can't pick up and move, adapt yourself to the consumers that are there and do your best.

• 2:24:37Speaker 05

  You could just learn a couple of words if you're gonna continue the tours. Just learn, "Assalamualaikum, alaikumsalam." Just...

• 2:24:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Yup.

• 2:24:44Speaker 05

  And be like, "Here to the left, there's a thousand people running in to get free groceries at the bodega. They're all beating the crap out of each other." Yeah, "But over here, they're all praying on the street."

• 2:24:54Tom Ellsworth?

  In the midst of this, Pat, that was my honest...

• 2:24:56Speaker 05

  They get a comedy...

• 2:24:57Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, part of it made me think about, the other day, I don't know why, one of the girls wanted to watch the movie, was it Breakup? Is it Breakup with Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston? The best movie, I love that movie. You know what they did in the movie? Vince Vaughn is a tour guy. He's a tour guy, exactly.

• 2:25:09Tom Ellsworth?

  We're gonna take over Chicago by land, sea, and air. And her girlfriend tells her, "Go to this clinic and ask for the telly sivalis."

• 2:25:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, yeah, that's right.

• 2:25:18Speaker 05

  And, and there's the, there's the Statue of Liberty, yes, she does have a burka on now, and then if you just look really close, lose yourself.

• 2:25:25Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, all right, okay, we got out of control. Vince Vaughn always does this, man. He's the man, we love you Vince Vaughn. When you come on the show, Vince Vaughn. Of the best. Anyways, okay, gang, some good news for you guys. All of a sudden, we started getting all these asks with everything that was going on with, uh, what is the event that happened recently, um, that mafia was tied to the gambling? They said, "Pat, is the mafia states of America out there? Can we find a way to get access to it?" So here's what we're doing. If you haven't seen this, this is the first time where Sammy DeBogravano and Michael Francis, after years of talking to both of them, agreed to do a sit-down of two and a half days. The footage, we had 24 hours of footage that we put into 10 different episodes.

• 2:26:09Patrick Bet-David?

  They got in deep, talking about politicians, their role, talking about what used to be illegal, that's now legal, being used by a lot of politicians. It was actually very, very insightful, and it was a, a first documentary series that we did. It did very, very well, but we're gonna be releasing it on Spotify, full free, but I want you to watch the trailer of when we did the sit-down. Go ahead, Rob.

• 2:26:33Speaker 02

  There's an old saying, "It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission."

• 2:26:40Speaker 02

  Well, La Cosa Nostra does neither. That's why Patrick Beck Davis knew the story of La Cosa Nostra had to be told.

• 2:26:49Patrick Bet-David?

  What is Cosa Nostra to you, and does it still have the same meaning today as it did back in the eighties?

• 2:26:54Speaker 02

  He knew there were only three men alive that could do this story justice.

• 2:27:07Speaker 02

  Cozmo's country is an evil life. We built cities, New York, Chicago, Vegas. They infiltrated our politics, they infiltrated our businesses, they infiltrated the church. Betrayal happens all the time. Is that inevitable? It happens all the time. For the first time anywhere, you will see a sit-down between two made men, not just soldiers in the mob. You're not mayor, you can't sit down with me. But real bosses. You're not the underboss anymore, my friend. And the man that brought it all crashing down. There are a few people that are genetically inherently bad. There are fucking bodies flying all over the place. They found Joe Blow in the trunk. Forty-five, fifty dead bodies all over Ritter Brook. Wow. Don't point your fucking finger at me, or what are you gonna do? Boom, I'm gonna do it, break your fucking face!

• 2:27:52Speaker 02

  Same. They always say a lot of these mafia guys could have really accomplished a lot if they only gone straight. That's half true. This is the real look of Cozmo's country.

• 2:28:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Ah, this was a great project, man. Very exciting project. Rob, when are we releasing it?

• 2:28:12Speaker 19

  Uh, this afternoon. It'll be up on the ValueTainment Spotify account. I just put the link in the description.

• 2:28:17Patrick Bet-David?

  So first episode goes live this afternoon?

• 2:28:19Speaker 19

  Yep.

• 2:28:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Six o'clock?

• 2:28:20Speaker 19

  Yes, and then we'll release the rest in the following weeks.

• 2:28:22Patrick Bet-David?

  So each day, you're gonna release an episode that goes out, right? Because that's ten of them.

• 2:28:26Speaker 19

  Oh, wow, really?

• 2:28:28Patrick Bet-David?

  One of them will be released this afternoon on Spotify. For those of you guys that are interested, go watch it, do not miss it. It's freaking amazing, amazing content. Having said that, um, Pierce Morgan interview should be coming out here soon as well with a few other announcements. Have a great weekend, everybody. We'll do this again next week. God bless. Bye-bye, bye-bye.

• 2:28:48Adam Sosnick?

  Assalamu alaikum.

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the HouseMajorityPac.com.
