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

• 0:18Patrick Bet-David?

  You are a one of one? My son's right there.

• 0:20Speaker 00

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

• 0:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, so I don't know if you guys saw this new law that's about to be passed July of this year in Idaho. Did you hear about this Idaho law? No. We have to talk about it. It's something that I actually want to get your reaction to it. Some folks are going to like it. Some folks are going to love it, especially when you hear about the story of what happened with that, uh, that young girl in the FedEx car with the independent contractor that, uh, ended up, uh, murdering the girl. If you remember that story we talked about two weeks ago, wait till you see what Idaho is passing. I'm telling you, wait till you see what Idaho is passing. I'm going to get into that, talk about it. It's pretty impressive to see what they got going on. There's a lot of stuff that's going on, obviously, over the weekend. I hope everybody had a good

• 1:09Patrick Bet-David?

  weekend. Trump stands by his remarks against the Pope, Leo. Pope Leo expands calls for peace to perceived war of wards with Trump dismissing media narrative of the rift. Pope Leo says his tyrants remark were not aimed at Trump. We'll definitely be talking about that. While we're talking about this, there was a clip that was going viral all over X that even IDF confirmed the picture, which was, uh, a soldier, I think it was, what was it? It was- Knocked down the statue of Jesus and broke it up and- Knocked down the statue of Jesus and, uh, to pieces. We'll definitely talk about that. Uh, terrible, terrible thing to see there. Donald Trump signs Joe Rogan-backed

• 1:52Patrick Bet-David?

  executive order expediting psychedelic drug research. The world watched Joe laugh 50 times behind Trump. I don't know if he saw when he's standing behind him just cracking up. Stairwell laughing, yeah. Trump is saying, you know, some, some are telling me the greatest president of all time. I was able to save it for 40 years. They couldn't do it. That's why they called me the greatest. 1.8%. It got lower and that's, some say that's not a lot, but I think it's a lot. And he's just a funny guy, what he was doing. So we'll, we'll address that. Uh, Trump announces Monday peace talks in Islamabad accuses Iran of ceasefire violation.

• 2:25Patrick Bet-David?

  And apparently JD Vance is on his way over there to negotiate even though IRGC said they're not gonna show up. US is like, no, they're gonna show up. They're still on the way because you saw that clip with the ship that was going. They shot the engine like, hey, you better stop it. And then they went over there and like, you cannot be doing this. And this is, this is becoming very clear that if this oil sits there for too long, they're gonna start losing real money. It could be problematic for them. We'll cover that. Trump warns Iran can't blackmail us. As crisis deepens in Strait of Hormuz, Iran fully closes Strait of Hormuz over US blockade and fires on ships. We'll address that. Anchor babies recently reached nearly 10% of all US births.

• 3:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Well taxed fever spreading to less wealthy states. And by the way, how much money you think Newsom spent from his PAC to promote his book to make it a bestseller? Did you hear about this brilliant strategy? Don't you just love it? He spent, he had like a million and a half dollars spent to buy his books just to help it become a, become a bestseller. We'll, we'll address that. James Carville, extremely, you know, bitter human being. He flat out said, I'm proud to be one of those TDS, unlike these center type of bullshit like Bill Maher and the rest of the folks. I really have TDS and there's some of us still left. And he reveals what Democrats should do if they win.

• 3:49Patrick Bet-David?

  I think you, you ought to pay attention to what he's saying because he's been a heavyweight. And he says, do it. Don't say you're gonna do it. Just do it, which is a big difference, right? Like gain the power and do all this stuff. Don't promote it. But we'll address that Ilhan Omar blames accounting error for claiming she was a multimillionaire. Cause we all make that mistake.

• 4:07Speaker 02

  I've done it so many times, Pat.

• 4:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, you were 2.8 billion last year.

• 4:11Speaker 02

  I was.

• 4:12Patrick Bet-David?

  But it was an accounting error.

• 4:13Speaker 02

  $28,000 net worth.

• 4:17Tom Ellsworth?

  I told the IRS I was basically broke. They still wanted the money.

• 4:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Newsom PAC bought, okay, California Dems bid two billion, hit $2 billion budget accounting error for months. Meta's about to cut 8,000 jobs. Elon Musk proposes universal high income payments to address AI-driven job placement. And then Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings is resigning and stepping down. Apparently, a lot of people are canceling their Netflix subscription because they're again raising prices. And the one thing I'm privately looking forward to, which I hope this happened. Barkley makes revelation about his fractured friendship with Michael Jordan after 14 years feud. I would love to see a Barkley and Jordan conversation kneecap to kneecap to go through stuff over the years.

• 5:02Patrick Bet-David?

  We have to talk about the gunman in Louisiana that killed eight children, including seven of his own. I don't know if I've ever heard anybody kill seven of their own kids. This guy did. Just a complete tragic story. Wait till you see what the story behind it is. Cash Patel announced live on Fox News. Arrests are coming and I promise you it's coming soon. There was another story that came out that Cash Patel has a drinking problem and he may be losing his job. But apparently the same person that wrote the article, based on what Tom said. Wait till you hear about the person that wrote the article in the past had to redact, what did, what did the writer have to do in the past to?

• 5:40Tom Ellsworth?

  And redacted parts of it and retract.

• 5:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Retract, yeah, parts of it. So we'll address that. And then gas prices. You know, it's interesting when you look at these gas prices with the state of California, the numbers are very weird. Okay, the national gas prices right now for diesel are 543. In, in national is 543. But in the state of California, 752. And in the lowest states, 459. How the hell is California $2 higher than the national average and $3 more than the lowest state? And you know, maybe that's the reason why so many people are.

• 6:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Have left the state and then we got a few other things that we'll get into if we get the time. Uh, uh, maybe the best news of the day, probably. I mean, listen, there's a lot of stories, but there isn't many stories as important as this one. From the day that Maldani hugged the mascot, April 9th, the Mets had already lost a game prior to that because their first loss was, Mets' last victory was on April 7th. Weird. They lose a game on the 8th. Maldani hugs the mascot, beautiful mascot. Both of them, two of them. Vinnie's top mascot. Vinnie really liked one of the mascots. And then after the hugs, the Mets have been on an 11-game losing streak. I'd love it if

• 7:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Maldani goes to the Mets games every night, spend as much time with them as possible. We want to thank Maldani for his contribution to the 11-game losing streak with the Mets. Hopefully he'll continue going to the game. Imagine if the Mets announce Maldani is no longer allowed to come to the Mets game. That'd be a great story. All right. Having said that, uh, for, uh, those of you that look forward to the Monday morning podcast when we do this, we got a lot of stories to cover. I want to share with you guys again, like literally, yesterday I went to a, a game that Dylan had a back-to-back football game yesterday. I'm watching it and I was wearing the white FLB shoes and it's great when you sit on the side and you put your foot over, which I can't do with my right knee, but I can do with my left knee because the right knee's got the torn ACL and the MCL. Ouch.

• 7:45Patrick Bet-David?

  But when you have the bottom of the shoe that reads Future Looks Bright, these shoes, today I'm wearing them. Every single day, this is all I wear when it comes onto the shoes. The level of comfort I have is amazing. And by the way, for some of you guys that haven't worn it, go read the reviews from the people that have purchased the shoes, see, see what they're saying about the shoes. Rob, if you have the commercial, go ahead and play it real quick about the FLB shoes. If you haven't yet ordered them, you may want to consider purchasing one now. Go ahead, Rob. When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast, we had the choice to make it cheap. We chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscanyero. We chose true Italian craftsmanship. Each pair touched

• 8:29Patrick Bet-David?

  by 50 skilled painters. We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step. Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection. Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.

• 8:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.

• 8:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Go to VTmerch.com, place your order, get one for yourself, get one for your husband, your son, even Adam's got one on today, and I think even Vinnie's got one on today.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  Can I be dead serious?

• 9:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell me.

• 9:08Speaker 02

  Even Adam last week was like, "Bro, you..." Even Tom. "You're wearing them?" Because think about it, you would think that these are just for suits and stuff, which we're wearing slacks. I'm wearing them with jeans and slacks. I'm not BSing in the mall. I just don't, and they're slipbound.

• 9:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's do a game of slapboxing.

• 9:24Speaker 02

  They're gonna pay for it.

• 9:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Me and you, buddy. Okay, so go to VTmerch.com, place your order. Having said that, let's get right into it. First story I want to talk about, Rob, if you want to pull this up, is JD Vance is still going to Islam about 18 hours, and word on the street is that IRGC is not going to show up. US is saying they are going to show up, and it'll be interesting to see what ends up happening here. Go ahead, Rob.

• 9:49Speaker 04

  Hi, Kevin. So negotiations are back on despite some back and forth reporting that we had seen earlier on in the day. White House tells Fox that Vice President JD Vance will be in attendance, and he will be leading the delegation back in Pakistan once again, and it comes as the clock is ticking to reach a new deal, because we know that this current ceasefire deal, this two-week deal, is set to expire on Wednesday. So there's a lot of diplomatic efforts ramping back up once again to land a new deal before then. After those historic face-to-face talks last weekend, Vice President Vance will be joined once again by envoy Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner. Yesterday, Iran said that it received new proposals from the US, and the country's deputy foreign minister warned that a framework of understanding must be agreed to first.

• 10:33Speaker 04

  President Donald Trump today posted on Truth Social, writing, quote, "We're offering a very fair and reasonable deal, and I hope they take it, because if they don't, the United States is going to knock out every single power plant, every single bridge in Iran." So the president facing some quick criticism because of those words this morning, but also over the war in general. Take a listen.

• 10:55Adam Sosnick?

  American troops have died, others are being injured, and Americans are paying a dollar more for gas because of President Trump's war of choice. I think it is very, very unlawful.

• 11:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Pause it right here. By the way, while this is happening, Iran refuses to join latest round of peace talks as Trump sends top envoy to Pakistan. Rob, I think you got a video on this one as well. Claim US has unrealistic demands. Iranians are saying unrealistic demands. Tom, what do you think is going to happen here?

• 11:20Tom Ellsworth?

  So, I felt like this was coming all weekend. It's like the shoe's gonna drop, here we go. They're either gonna break the ceasefire or they're gonna do something. I was almost certain. I'm just kinda waiting for it. And then I saw, hey, the blockade was serious because, you know, they radioed to a ship, hey, you better hang on, you know, you're gonna get hit. And they hit the engine room, they said, now you guys all evacuate, get out of there. So they were trying to hit the ship, but at the same time, you know, be, and it's hard to use this word in war, but to be humane about it. To say, hey, I don't want to kill your sailors, but that ship's going where it shouldn't be going. Bang. And that happens.

• 12:02Patrick Bet-David?

  You want to play that real quick, Rob? So this is the clip Tom is talking about. Go for it.

• 12:07Speaker 06

• 12:21Patrick Bet-David?

• 15:01Patrick Bet-David?

  So they hit the engine. And then this is the, this is what you're talking about, Tom, that they took over the ship.

• 15:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep. And this is a five inch gun. These aren't torpedoes. They're not trying to sink it and create an environmental disaster. They're trying to put two right through the hull into the engine room and disable it. That sort of like, I warned you. And now they got to get tugboats and tow it off someplace. And that's the, when you're in the middle of a blockade, I was reading about this this weekend. This is the military technique when you don't want to have like oil and a huge environmental crisis on the shores of maybe innocent countries. Not the one on the north, but certainly there's several in the south that are just sitting there. And so I.

• 15:39Adam Sosnick?

  Like I said, I was waiting for the Iran to break the ceasefire, or to refuse, or to be difficult, like, right at the last minute. They're playing along, playing along, playing along, playing along, bang, and then this on the blockade. So, to me, this kind of happened right on time. This is what I was expecting. At the last minute, things are gonna crack.

• 15:59Speaker 12

  No, it just brings up something that we've talked about a lot, which is asymmetrical warfare, that Iran can kind of be reckless, it can push things, it just has to get through one time, has to have one mind go off, it has to disrupt one thing. Trump has to be 100% right, 100% of the time, and, you know, it's really interesting, because it becomes a global issue. So, Trump's not just worried about the United States, now he has the pressure of the entire world on his back, which is just such a hard place to be in. So, I'm hoping this comes to some kind of conclusion fast. I'm hoping this doesn't continue to drag on, and drag on, and drag on.

• 16:31Adam Sosnick?

  Adam. So, there's talks going on in Islamabad, Pakistan. Islamabad, Pakistan. Do you think that the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, with their capital of Islamabad, is being unbiased? Maybe. I don't know. It's actually the United States who chose Islamabad to hold peace talks. Why? Because, where else are you gonna go? Islamabad, basically, is brokering a ceasefire. You know, remember Trump's brokered a ceasefire between Pakistan and India. There's a relationship there. We see what's going on there. But the whole context of this Trump's war of

• 17:12Adam Sosnick?

  choice, Trump's war of choice. Trump chose this. No. The United States, all our presidents, all our leaders, they've been speaking out against this for almost 50 years. Trump had the balls to do something about it. The weakness, the fecklessness of the left and the woke Reich is actually alarming. Rob, do you have that clip of the guy with Kamala Harris? Kamala Harris, projected potential president, 2028, challenger to run. I don't know if you can fast-forward this clip. Here's a lifelong Democrat, basically saying, "I can no longer vote Democrat." Because of what? The hypocrisy. Here's her, basically, saying the number-one enemy.

• 17:57Adam Sosnick?

  The number one threat geopolitically is Iran. This is Kamala Harris two years ago. I want to know what changed. Can we go to the beginning of that clip, Rob? It's at the very beginning, right? When she says, "I'm a Kamala Harris voter." It's the first sentence.

• 18:10Speaker 13

  And I thought she would be a great president. Until very recently, when I saw her comments about the war in Iran. I'm about to pass on. I'm gonna play some clips from before the election and from after the war. He's a Bills fan. He needs to hear it. See what you think.

• 18:27Speaker 14

  Our country, do you consider to be our greatest adversary?

• 18:30Adam Sosnick?

  Can we play this, Rob, at 60 minutes? I think there's a... No. Okay, stop. Okay, we can't play? No. Point is... Can't play 60 minutes. Sorry about that, Rob. The point is, she says Iran. So our greatest, what, did he say enemy? Did he greatest geopolitical threat? Whatever it was, she said Iran. What changed, guys? I want to know what changed. What changed is Trump did something about it. So now, the entire identity of the left is, "Trump's bad." I wish one thing. I wish the left loved America as much as they hated Trump. It's crazy. And if I can continue for 10 more seconds? You know this flag that I wear everywhere? I gave Tom one today. You want to know the craziest thing? People come up to me and they go, "So you're Republican, right?" I go, "Why would you say that?" They go, "'Cause you're wearing an American flag." I go, "So what are you saying?

• 19:15Adam Sosnick?

  The American flag only represents Republicans?" They go, "Well, you know, like, yeah, Republicans tend to like the flag more." I go, "What a sad state of affairs, buddy." That the American flag only represents one party? What a shame. I wish Democrats were more patriotic.

• 19:33Speaker 02

  Well, my thing is, there is no way that our government, the president, everybody, didn't know this is what they were gonna get with Iran. Like, and you said Islamic Republic. These people are on a mission from God, okay? They don't care about their own citizens' lives. So I'm shocked why this is a surprise. If you get into a wrestling match with a pig and you come out and you go, "What the... I'm dirty?" That's not like, it doesn't make sense to me. They knew it was gonna be like this. They're not gonna quit. They're not gonna stop. And that's why the two main parts of the mission were taking over, getting rid of the IOT. all those things but the uprising the people that this is not gonna stop you do you think the IRGC

• 20:13Speaker 02

  and these maniacs are gonna stop doing it this is going to be endless Adam cuz they're think about it if you don't care about your own citizens that you're you have the army they're gonna keep nope nope nope cuz you know what they want to do they want their mission is let Trump bomb all the plants let Trump bomb all the oil plants so we'll show the world how messed up these people are and watch cuz dude if they put and by the it'd be their fault but if they do that imagine how many people that aren't radicalized there around the world are gonna get radicalized cuz they're gonna go oh he is a tyrant

• 20:46Tom Ellsworth?

  so this did to Pat's question when we started this this segment did this surprise you

• 20:51Speaker 02

  not at all Tommy not not no not at all cuz you're like how many times did we say we don't negotiate with terrorists the like the leadership the ayatollahs Tom they're on a completely different like they they the when I say mission from God Tom that's who they're answering to they're saying God is making them

• 21:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob can you pull up can you pull up this clip I just sent you which is all the presidents are speaking about on Iran I just texted to you and yeah this one right here if you can play this go ahead Rob

• 21:20Speaker 15

  formally announcing my intention to cut off all trade and investment with Iran our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction Iran aggressively pursues these weapons and exports terror while an unelected few repress the Iranian people's hope for freedom

• 21:40Speaker 16

  I strongly believe that our national security interest now depends upon preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon

• 21:48Speaker 17

  what I can say to you Iran will never get a nuclear weapon on my watch as they say

• 21:53Speaker 18

  this terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon I'll say it again they can never have a nuclear weapon

• 22:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so everybody talked about it. One guy is doing something about it. So you kind of have to see how, you know, this is another meme that's going viral. Iran took hostages. They're evil. They're a real threat. They're sponsoring terrorism. They're killing Americans. They're building nukes. We have to stop them. Okay. You know, it's like, alright, I'll do it. No, you're the enemy. You're the bad guy, you know, that's doing something like this.

• 22:23Speaker 12

  Yeah, there's certain uncomfortable realities that Americans have to accept. Because Iraq really changed the sentiment of war in the United States for a very long time. That was, you know, it should have been Iran, not Iraq. Exactly. But the big reality here, that everyone has to accept whether they like it or not, is you have a radical Islamist regime that lied not only about its nuclear development. It enriched uranium well past 60%. It's the only non-nuclear country in the world to do that. But also lied very clearly about its ballistic missile range. And those are two very scary things. Even if you're not scared of the uranium, they've proved to us they lied about the range of the missiles they are developing. And going from intermediate-range ballistic missiles to long-range ballistic missiles is not a big jump.

• 23:05Speaker 12

  And we do not have any type of blanket missile defense system in the United States. It makes us very vulnerable. So do you want to, you know, we keep pushing it back, pushing it back, pushing it back. And people say, we've been saying this for decades. Yes, but there is a breaking point. Like I said earlier, Iran only has to be right once. If that day comes where they do have long-range ballistic missiles, even just dirty bomb tipped, right, they don't have to actually be nuclear warheads. That is devastating for the United States. So again, do you wait? Do you wait? Do you wait? No, Trump did the right thing.

• 23:35Speaker 02

  So, but here's my question to you. I was in the Air Force, he was in the Army. We're not going to sit there and pretend like we're four-star generals with all the military strategic planning. But, okay, you know what the leadership, Tom, let's, maybe we're in the Situation Room. Okay, guys, they have that capability. We bombed, we took out their nuclear capabilities. Okay, how are you going to win this? Because their leader, every time you kill a leader, there's another one coming in. They control the, but here's the thing.

• 24:01Tom Ellsworth?

  I got an idea. It's kind of a big pallet full of money. That's what I'm thinking.

• 24:04Speaker 02

  No, no, Obama, we can't do that. But my thing is this, how do you achieve victory? So let's just say, the missiles are gone, the nukes are gone, the leadership is still there, and they're never going to listen to you.

• 24:15Speaker 12

  Yeah, so there's, again, an uncomfortable truth. There's a difference between being able to exert external force and being able to exert internal force. The idea that we'll be able to win a... Victory over Iran where they can no longer, you know, push external, internal force is very unlikely. That's the truth. It's almost impossible battle. You have a regime there that's willing to massacre its own people. But the idea that we can set them back decades in their ability to hurt externally, sadly, is again, it's an uncomfortable idea that you're putting them back in the stone ages.

• 24:46Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 24:47Speaker 12

  But that is the only way you protect the rest of the world at some point.

• 24:49Speaker 02

  But now, remember those people, those millions of people now, they're sitting there like, wait a minute. Uh, hello, what?

• 24:57Adam Sosnick?

  I really want to address this with you because I feel like we're going in circles sometimes. And I love you.

• 25:02Speaker 02

  I don't think we're going in circles at all.

• 25:02Adam Sosnick?

  Hear me out.

• 25:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 25:04Adam Sosnick?

  You're focused on the people of Iran. I hear you.

• 25:07Speaker 02

  On top of, hold on, hold on, but let me, let me clarify.

• 25:09Adam Sosnick?

  You want to clarify what about that?

• 25:11Speaker 02

  On top of the nuclear, the epic fury, all that, I love that.

• 25:15Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 25:15Speaker 02

  But being from Iran, our families from Iran, at the end of the day, all that, thank God they bombed, all that stuff. What about the people that were dying at them that were like, yeah, help is here? And now it's just like, well, the nukes and stuff are gone. Good luck.

• 25:28Adam Sosnick?

  Help is on the way. Help is here. I mean, Trump has been talking about this since he started running for election. We just showed the clip of every single president talking about this. Trump did something.

• 25:38Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 25:39Adam Sosnick?

  Marco Rubio, Trump, they've laid out their agenda. We're going to take out all their military assets. Their navy's in the bottom of the sea. They can't produce new military weapons. There's rumors that they're putting shadows of planes out there. So the US is bombing shadows because they don't have real planes. Okay, nuclear ambitions, put that aside. You, Vincent, my brother, are hyper focused on the people of Iran, as I understand. I think that's great. Of course we want that. Here's the sad reality, so we don't continue to go and do this. They're going to have to figure that out on their own. We talk about we don't want boots on the ground. Well, which one is it? Because we can't do regime change unless we put boots on the ground.

• 26:24Adam Sosnick?

  So you can't have your cake and eat it too. We can do all the heavy lifting. But if there's going to be actual change in Iran, the people have to do that. Now, you might say, how are they going to do that? I don't know. Pat doesn't know. You don't, we don't know. What we can do, like Elon said, the external situations, the nuclear, the warheads, the shooting at 2,000 miles to Europe, that's done. So now whatever happens internally, we literally mean, God bless, Allah bless, figure it out. But we can't do the revolution for you. Like the United States Revolution, when we did this, we're like, hey, guys, the British. It's like, no, no, you got to do this, George Washington. You got to sign the Declaration of Independence, guys. And that's what we did. And that's the unfortunate situation.

• 27:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Adam, to be fair, we had a lot of support from France. Our revolution, France gave us, you know, deception and, and.

• 27:15Adam Sosnick?

  But were they boots on the ground? Were they fighting or was Americans fighting?

• 27:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Um, there were French, there was French here.

• 27:23Adam Sosnick?

  You're telling me that the French fight?

• 27:25Speaker 12

  They were. No, but Adam, at a minimum, we should provide the Iranian people with some kind of auxiliary support, however we can do that.

• 27:31Adam Sosnick?

  We are.

• 27:32Speaker 12

  If there is.

• 27:32Speaker 02

  We tried, but no, the Kurds took the guns and they left. We tried to help them. They were just like, hey.

• 27:37Adam Sosnick?

  That story kind of came and went. I'm not even sure.

• 27:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, so did the guns.

• 27:40Adam Sosnick?

  But, but Pat, let me, let me bring this back to you.

• 27:44Tom Ellsworth?

  Kurds took them.

• 27:45Adam Sosnick?

  I think that you understand everything that Trump is doing. From the nuclear ambitions and the military to the warheads of everything. The blockade, the economic warfare. Focus on the people, if that's what. What should the people of Iran do at this point? The 10,000, 50,000, whatever the number of the, the, the greatest people who were fighting against Sajin Brown being killed. Is there sentiment of fighting on the ground? Are they gonna weaponry? Like, what are they gonna do? They don't have any weaponry. From a people perspective? Yeah. But I want to understand this.

• 28:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so a couple of things on the blockade of what's working and what's not. Every day the blockade is there, Iran loses 400 million dollars a day.

• 28:23Adam Sosnick?

  400 million a day?

• 28:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Every day, the blockade costs Iran's government, the IRGC, 400 million a day, 12 to 13 billion dollars a day of them selling oil. They can only, experts say they can only handle it up to 16 days. Some are saying 2 months. So they're right now like this.

• 28:42Adam Sosnick?

  They're getting choked out.

• 28:43Patrick Bet-David?

  So the idea that they put a pause on it kind of helped Iran a little bit. Now, if they extend this, and they have the blockade, and you're saying they're stopping, what was it, 3 or 4 ships? Say, "What are you doing? Turn around. You ain't doing this right now. You ain't selling it to nobody. Get your ass back in the place. We're serious about this." Now Iran is sitting there saying, "Holy shit, this is becoming real. Now what am I gonna do? I need the revenue, I need the money, I need the income." So, how will Iran react? Yesterday, there was a 60 Minutes episode on Iran, and Rob, were you able to find out about the guy that's on it, or no? Yes. Were you able to find out who it is? So this is Matthew Bun, okay? Harvard Kennedy School. Matthew Bun, to just kind of give you an idea who he is, Bun was served as a White

• 29:28Patrick Bet-David?

  House Office of Science and Technology from 94 to 96. 94 to 96, who would that be? Was that senior is who he was under? Clinton. Clinton. Clinton was 92 to 2000. Alright, so 94, 96 is Clinton. So it's not like this is a Trump guy. He is doing an interview yesterday with 60 Minutes. And 60 Minutes doesn't know what this guy's gonna say. Of course, we can't play the clip, but we can just show what he says with the content in the tweet, Rob, if you want to go to it. I highly recommend watching this. Everybody should watch this tomorrow, just don't play the clip, Rob. Because you know what 60 Minutes does. So, UN, last time UN inspector were able to verify Iran had 970 pounds of 60% uranium, enriched uranium. "If enriched further, the stockpile could produce 10 to 11 nuclear bombs," says Matthew

• 30:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Bun, a former White House nuclear advisor who works at the Harvard Kennedy School Belfer Center. And then he also says this, which was kind of shocked a lot of people. "Iran has been lying about its nuclear weapon effort for over 20 years now." He says, "A former White House nuclear advisor who works at Harvard Kennedy School." Remember, this is a Clinton guy. If he's a Clinton or a Bush person, he's not a Trump person. Let's get that clear. Because Bushes don't like Trump, Clintons don't like Trumps. They're on the same page. So, you know, there is the media market, what everybody reacts on what they say. Then there is the people that were in there having dealt with Iran and known what these guys are like and how they lie when they're negotiating. Iran's in a very bad place. The challenge with the people is the following.

• 30:58Patrick Bet-David?

  They don't have somebody there, and I don't know why, the president is not locking on to Reza Pahlavi. If he did, his strategy would be different. So, think about it this way. Did you guys see Maria Corina Machado came up outside on the balcony? How the Venezuelans reacted to it? Did you see this clip? Rob, can you find this clip? Just type in her name and how she was received. It was beautiful on how she was received. What Trump wants to do and what he doesn't want to do, it's right there. Watch this, Vinnie. Just watch the reaction, how she's being received. Is this in Venezuela? Can you go back to the tweet so I can read the details there? Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado walked out to a sea of thousands of supporters in Madrid.

• 31:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Madrid, got it. Machado has dedicated her Nobel Prize to she is refusing to meet Spain's leftist PM Pedro Sanchez right now. Instead, meeting with right-wing opposition, right-wingers must rise across Europe. Okay, so play the clip, Rob. Play the clip.

• 31:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that real? No, this is real.

  I get so many headaches every month. It could be chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more.

• 34:02Speaker 20

  Botox, onabotulinum toxin A, prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those who have 14 or fewer headache days a month. Prescription Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions, including ALS, Lou Gehrig's Disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert Eaton Syndrome, and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.

• 34:47Speaker 10

  Why wait? Ask your doctor. Visit botoxchronicmigraine.com or call 1-800-44-BOTOX to learn more.

• 34:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Holy moly.

• 34:59Patrick Bet-David?

  This is Spain.

• 35:00Speaker 12

  Yeah, that's surprising.

• 35:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, that's right. This is Spain. Now, you got to realize the Spain's leader has been also getting a lot of attention because Trump and comments he made, he went against him, so he's kind of playing. But but this is kind of where I'm going with you, Adam, to answer your question about the people. So the difference between Reza Pahlavi and her is what? She got a Nobel Prize. She went to the White House. She gave it to Trump. Everybody thought Trump was going to get behind her and Trump's like, no, your people got to vote for you. So if you look at the pattern there. What do Iranians have to do with this guy? If Iranians really want to play, use a similar type of a playbook because this guy is getting audiences that are showing up as well. But Trump is not going to get behind to say, we're going to endorse you the same way he did when Maria Corina Machado.

• 35:46Patrick Bet-David?

  So the honesty, it's a, it's a, he has to be able to convince the US government that the military has flipped on them and is supporting him and he simply doesn't have that. You could have the people. You could have audiences showing up in Germany. You could have audiences showing up all over the place. And by the way, they are for this guy. But you got to get the military to flip. If the military people are not flipping. You ain't going to have a lot of, you, you need some of the military, even if it's 5%, 10%, 20% to stand up and say, hey, this is what we're going to be doing. It hasn't happened yet. Uh, uh, and so influence wise, they got to find somebody internally. Uh, Iran's market's not going to let that happen because the internet, you know, where people cannot communicate the message out, it's still kind of tough

• 36:31Patrick Bet-David?

  to be able to do it. So Iran's issue is different. So the president is probably thinking the idea of a regime change and a regime collapse. The regime, he can technically say it's changed. Why? Because it's new people, hasn't collapsed. If IRGC is there three months from now, there is no collapse. You can say, you know, Khomeini is not there, his son took over. You can say you kill 50 different people. So as long as IRGC is there. The Iranian people are going to be screwed because the way they're going to be treated.

• 37:01Adam Sosnick?

  Quick, quick follow up on that to you. So you're talking about the power, who has the power? By the way, has anyone even seen the new Ayatollah? Allegedly he's in a coma. I know you think he's gay, whatever the hell he's. I didn't say that. I don't know what's going on, but follow the money here. If you're saying that they're losing 400 million a day. Okay, how many billions is that gonna be this month?

• 37:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Twelve to thirteen billion a month. They can't afford to lose that kinda money.

• 37:24Adam Sosnick?

  That's, they're choking them out.

• 37:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, they are.

• 37:26Adam Sosnick?

  And if they can't pay their, their, their proxies, which is done, if they can't pay their IRGC, the people have no money, what's gonna happen to society?

• 37:35Patrick Bet-David?

  If you choke them out, how do you get rid of the IRGC?

• 37:40Speaker 12

  That's the question.

• 37:41Patrick Bet-David?

  So if they're saying, if they're saying, well, you know, they've agreed to a fifteen year suspension on, you know, you know, uranium enrichment and all this other stuff, what the hell is fifteen years? The problem, like, for, for example, I don't care if, you know, certain countries have nuclear enrichment or the power, if they're allies and they're friendly, who do you care about not having it? People who are screaming off the top of their lungs, "Death upon America." Yeah, that's a little bit concerning to give you that. And say fifteen years? So what, what makes you think in fifteen years, how old is AOC in fifteen years, Rob? Fifty? I don't know how old she is right now, thirty-four? Thirty-three? Thirty-five? How old is she today? Thirty-six? In fifteen years, she's fifty-one.

• 38:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Say America gets crazy, who was Obama doing the whole song and dance thing with the kids, with Mamdani in a classroom? I don't know if you guys saw that or not.

• 38:31Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 38:32Patrick Bet-David?

  So Obama was at first too careful to get too close to an Islamist socialist, semi-communist. He did, now they're doing this. Optics-wise, go ahead and play this clip, Rob. What do you think this is? You can play the clip. What do you think this is? Tell me what optics are. If the number one Democratic influencer in the last thirty years gets in front of an, is this not a form of endorsement?

• 38:56Speaker 12

  Yes.

• 38:56Patrick Bet-David?

  This is an endorsement.

• 38:58Adam Sosnick?

  Well, that's some indoctrination right there.

• 38:59Speaker 12

  Shortly after, by the way, his wife was caught with all those crazy comments online.

• 39:04Adam Sosnick?

  And, yeah.

• 39:04Speaker 12

  And he's, Obama's right there.

• 39:06Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so meaning, they're going to, and by the way, this leads to the following, let me go to the James Carville tweet. I don't know if you guys saw this or not on the podcast. James Carville, who's a big Democratic advisor, said this on the podcast. We won't play the clip, cause it's very long, but I'll just read it to you. James Carville started, joined the podcast, stated on a left-wing PoliCon podcast that when the Democrats regain power, they plan to, ready? Grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico so the Democrats can unlock four extra seats in the Senate. You know they're all gonna be on the left. Pack the US Supreme Court with nine justices from nine to 13, adding another four left-wing justices to the court. It's gonna be hard, but that's what they want to do.

• 39:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Reopen the US-Mexico border and grant mass amnesty to every single alien currently inside the US. And last but not least, don't run on it. Don't talk about it, just do it. You don't think Democrats are gonna get into the White House soon? You don't think they're gonna be in there? You don't think they're gonna have control? So then what are they gonna do? So then how are they gonna negotiate with Iran? Are they gonna be as strong? Are they gonna be as aggressive? Are they gonna unpack? What is the money supply that's sitting there that they want to release back to Iran? Twenty billion dollars?

• 40:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, and everybody says, "Oh, now Trump wants to give them money." No, that's their funds that we have frozen the accounts so that they can't buy bad things with it at the moment. That's it. It's not a palette, a gift, the way Obama did.

• 40:31Speaker 12

  I mean, you want to talk about a threat to America, that tweet pretty much sums it up. We're so distracted from so many other things that someone can come out and say that and we don't even focus on it, take it seriously. So I'm very, very worried about our future and our next election. As for Iran internally, like you were saying, if you put more pressure on the IRGC, if you keep choke-holding them, you would hope that there would be some kind of internal fracture that takes place eventually that does cause the people to rise up, does cause the people, part of the military to fracture inside with them. But it's just so ugly and messy in the process that I think a lot of people don't have the stomach for it. So, I don't know.

• 41:06Patrick Bet-David?

  They don't have that much time, by the way. The US doesn't have that much time. They have, honestly, like if I were to give you a timeline, you have 45 days.

• 41:15Speaker 12

  Do you not think, though, that there is some fracture happening with them?

• 41:17Patrick Bet-David?

  I do think, absolutely, I think they're making progress. I love the fact that the ship stood in front of them and said, "Hey, guy, turn around, boom, boom, boom, hey, you're this, come on here, engine." That's a statement to the world, that, hey, this is not just a threat. And for him to say, so now imagine if this gets to the point, so let's kind of play this out. JD Vance goes, and imagine IRGC doesn't show up.

• 41:42Patrick Bet-David?

  So Tom, that's kinda like I sent Tom to negotiate. And the other guys, all of a sudden punk Tom and they don't show up. Let me ask you, are they really punking Tom or are they punking me? Punking you. They're not punking Tom. Yeah. Okay, so what, how am I gonna react? How is he gonna react? So, think that for a second, so JD goes to Islamabad. Now, we know 90% chance they're showing up. Mm-hmm. Cause they talk a lot of shit, but they're gonna show up. But say the 10%, they don't show up.

• 42:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Say the 10%, they don't show up. Maybe, i- i- if the 10%, they don't show up any. What percentage of Iranians is like, "Yeah, attack our own people. We want it, cause we want that story." If you don't show up, it's your way of saying, "We want the blood on your hands." 100%. Do it. The tactic, yeah. Do it, cause the world's gonna turn against you even more. Go ahead and do it, they will sympathize with us, not with you. Go ahead and attack us. So, run a, run a poll real quick, Rob, let's see what the smartest audience in the world, who is very well-balanced, will be saying here. Do they believe the IRGC will show up when JD Vance arrives in Islamabad? Rob, are you, can you run that poll? I know you listened to two different clips.

• 42:55Patrick Bet-David?

  What, what clip is this, Rob, that you just pulled up as well?

• 42:57Speaker 21

  This is the Iranian Foreign Minister, this was la- last night, where he talks about Iran participating in the peace deals in Pakistan.

• 43:04Patrick Bet-David?

  That they are gonna show up?

• 43:05Speaker 21

  No.

• 43:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead, go ahead.

• 43:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Seems nervous.

• 43:11Speaker 22

  First of all, up until this very moment, we do not have any plans for the next round of negotiations.

• 43:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 43:18Speaker 22

  Decision.

• 43:19Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, played again for five se- played again for five seconds. He doesn't know if he wants to say anything. Mm-hmm.

• 43:26Speaker 22

  First of all, up until this very moment, we do not have any plans for the next round of negotiations.

• 43:32Patrick Bet-David?

  He's a target, his house, like worried. Yeah, his days are numbered, if he's, he's talking like his days are numbered. But the, but the point being the following. The point being the following. What happens if they don't show up?

• 43:43Speaker 02

  Well, if they don't show up.

• 43:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Say JD lands. He lands, you're there, Whitkoff, Kushner, they're there, and they don't show up. What does Trump do?

• 43:52Speaker 12

  Well, Trump's been shown that he's willing to escalate. That's one thing Trump is.

• 43:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you think Iran believes that at this point?

• 43:57Speaker 12

  Hundred percent.

• 43:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I agree.

• 43:58Speaker 12

  But what I will say is this. They better take everything under Trump's threat seriously as like a heart attack. But you're absolutely right, and what you said is that the world has learned, the worst regimes in the world learned, that the way they can win a war is by the suffering of their own people, which is a terrible, terrible place to be. So Iran has the ability to massacre its own people, use its own people as essentially human shields, and then when they die, they go, they know there's tons of world pressure now, stop the violence, stop the violence, stop the violence. Yeah, but it's not gonna work.

• 44:28Speaker 02

  Well, hold on, Adam. Well, because, not even a minute, if Trump goes through with it and bombs the power grid and their oil, the people are going to die. Forget about all the older people, like, people are going to die, and like, I know, I heard somebody be like, well, maybe that's gonna be the camel that broke the camel's back, the straw that broke the camel's back, and make the people finally revolt. I'm like, no, they're gonna have nothing, they have nothing. What are they gonna do, throw rocks at their own government? No, bro, this is a, if that happens, Pat, it's gonna be very, very, very bad.

• 45:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Two clips I want to show you, and Adam, I'm gonna come to you. Number one, here's what the president said. The president said the following, if, well, I'll just let him say it, go ahead.

• 45:08Speaker 18

  Excuse me, but in any event, we'll get it, go ahead.

• 45:11Speaker 23

  And you don't have a deal by Wednesday when the ceasefire ends? Will you extend the ceasefire, or will you start attacks again?

• 45:17Speaker 18

  Maybe I won't extend it, but the blockade is gonna remain. But maybe I won't extend it. So you have a blockade, and unfortunately, we'll have to start dropping bombs again. Thank you very much, everybody, thank you, I think it's gonna happen.

• 45:31Speaker 23

  What about the UFOs, Mr. President?

• 45:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Say UFOs at the end. Yeah. They're trying. So that's Trump and then Fetterman. Rob, do you have the exact time when he says that or no? Go for it.

• 45:42Speaker 24

  I might be the only Democrat that that supports, you know, what's happened through Epic Fury, but I am the only Democrat, definitely in the Senate and now the only Democrat in Congress, I think now, to to support Epic Fury at this point. And I'll never understand why my party just can't just see that there's been a lot of good developments through a lot of these things. I mean, I don't, you know, to pulverize the Iranian military, every single Democrat has said, we can never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear bomb. And now they've been the evil regime. And I think eliminating their leadership is is a strong development, too. And Hezbollah, that's one of their proxies.

• 46:24Speaker 24

  And I'll like, it's so, it's tremendous the way Israel has to to neutralize them to the point where now they're begging for a ceasefire now, too.

• 46:32Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause right there. Adam.

• 46:35Adam Sosnick?

  Look, there's one person in charge of the world right now. Whether you like him or not, it's Donald Trump. He's the big baller, shock caller. Everyone else is just noise. Trump is the signal. So do you think Trump can be easily swayed by anybody at this point? Do you think that that Trump is, you know, controlled by Israel, cares what other people think? Trump's fighting with one hand behind his back. Remember the scene in Gladiator when Joaquin Phoenix goes.

• 47:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Hugs him, embrace me, brother.

• 47:04Adam Sosnick?

  Embrace me, brother, and stabs him. And then he comes down to the world. And what does Russell Crowe do? Still wins.

• 47:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Mm hmm.

• 47:09Adam Sosnick?

  I mean, he obviously died in the end, but he killed the guy. Trump's fighting the left, one hand behind his back. He's fighting the media. He's fighting the globalists. He's fighting the Islamists. He's fighting everybody and he's winning. Can we address the fact that we're winning? Trump, 10 years ago, we're gonna win so much, you're gonna get sick of winning. We'd always be like, what does that even mean? This is what that means. Show me how.

• 47:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, it's too early.

• 47:35Adam Sosnick?

  The US, no, no, I'm saying right now.

• 47:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 47:38Adam Sosnick?

  Show me how US is losing because you're paying an extra dollar.

• 47:41Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, US is not losing.

• 47:42Speaker 02

  No, no.

• 47:42Adam Sosnick?

  I'm saying, show me how US is losing.

• 47:44Speaker 02

  But Adam.

• 47:44Adam Sosnick?

  Because you're paying an extra dollar.

• 47:46Speaker 02

  Not, not extra dollar, but groceries and, but hold on, we talked about, hold on, but, but Adam, did you hear Carville? You heard that, that warning? If we don't do.

• 47:54Adam Sosnick?

  Stop, that's the noise.

• 47:56Speaker 12

  That's the real loss.

• 47:56Speaker 02

  Adam, no, that's, no, it's, Adam, you can't dismiss that.

• 48:00Adam Sosnick?

  What is Carville?

• 48:01Speaker 02

  Because, look how serious the.

• 48:02Adam Sosnick?

  Carville hasn't been relevant since 1994.

• 48:03Speaker 02

  Adam, Adam.

• 48:03Adam Sosnick?

  And now we're taking what he says, uh, like, uh, like.

• 48:06Speaker 12

  No, but it's, it's not just him, it's the entire left and they're gaining, they're gonna gain momentum.

• 48:10Speaker 02

  Adam.

• 48:11Adam Sosnick?

  Because of what?

• 48:12Speaker 02

  Adam.

• 48:12Adam Sosnick?

  Because we're winning a war of choice.

• 48:15Speaker 02

  Because of all the stuff that's going on, but you can't, you have to admit, like, and I even wrote this down, Adam, how serious it is, the, the, if we don't get voter ID and the mass deportation, which they, it seems like they just stopped because it didn't look good in Minnesota. If they don't do the SAVE Act, Adam, we're toast.

• 48:30Patrick Bet-David?

  You know.

• 48:31Adam Sosnick?

  God, I'm sorry. You're conflating all the issues.

• 48:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Hang on, hang on, hang on. Let him say his thought and I got some thoughts and I want to go to the next one.

• 48:37Speaker 02

  They're gonna get the, from, if Calci and all these predictive markets are right, Adam, it's not even a question about the House and the Senate and they're gonna go after.

• 48:44Adam Sosnick?

  Too early to tell.

• 48:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me, let me tell you this.

• 48:46Adam Sosnick?

  Too early to tell.

• 48:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you, let me tell you one thing you gotta be thinking about. If you could have Iran's on the deal, say we are able to do a regime change. IRGC is gone, new regime, no nuclear, they're peaceful, market opens up, sanctions lifted, Iran becomes open, matter of fact, we're gonna go to Iran, do a podcast two years from now. Okay, let's just put that as one of them. Two, voter ID, okay? Where everybody now has to go through voter ID, every single state, every single place, you get that one. Three, you get two additional Supreme Court justice seats in there, let's just say. Four, you win midterms and you win 2028 and it continues. What else you want to add on that list, Tom?

• 49:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you want to, what other issues that are important?

• 49:34Speaker 12

  I'm loving what I'm hearing.

• 49:35Patrick Bet-David?

  No, but give me, give me what else.

• 49:36Speaker 02

  I'm voting for that.

• 49:37Adam Sosnick?

  You've got the, the Supreme Court decision on gerrymandering on district.

• 49:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Perfect gerrymandering, what, what else you want to add on that list? Here's what I want you to do.

• 49:45Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 49:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Pick only two of them, not you first, I know where one of yours is gonna be. What are your two out of those five? Out of those five things I just said, what are your two? Voter ID is, if we don't- I think for me, it's one as well. Okay, voter ID? I'm also voter ID. And then midterms 2028, we have to, we have to win ballots. So midterms 2028 is, uh- Well, midterms 2026.

• 50:06Speaker 12

  Twenty-six.

• 50:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Twenty-six. Six, and then you said the presidency in 2028. Tom, what's your top two?

• 50:10Adam Sosnick?

  Well, voter ID solves a bunch of the things that are in there.

• 50:13Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right.

• 50:13Adam Sosnick?

  Gerrymandering, you know, they can gerrymander a district with a bunch of illegals in it.

• 50:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 50:17Adam Sosnick?

  But if you have voter ID, you-

• 50:18Patrick Bet-David?

  It cancels it.

• 50:19Adam Sosnick?

  That's number one for me.

• 50:20Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm with you.

• 50:20Adam Sosnick?

  So Save Act, voter ID, number one for me. Number two for me is, now, it's mitigating damage for 26.

• 50:29Patrick Bet-David?

  It's the midterms.

• 50:30Speaker 12

  Which, but if, if theoretically Iran was resolved-

• 50:34Patrick Bet-David?

  So you're okay if Iran doesn't get resolved? It's not your top two, top three?

• 50:37Adam Sosnick?

  No, no, no. It's, it's absolut- that's my given, so-

• 50:42Patrick Bet-David?

  But no, the reason why I'm asking this is, I don't think for everybody, it's their top two. That's kinda where I'm going.

• 50:49Speaker 12

  Mm-hmm. For most Americans, it's-

• 50:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, America first. For sure, your top two.

• 50:52Speaker 12

  I'm America first.

• 50:53Adam Sosnick?

  Is what, by the way?

• 50:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Iran, IRGC's gone.

• 50:56Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 50:57Patrick Bet-David?

  No more nuclear threat, okay? Sanctions are lifted, the market opens up, they become like the new Dubai, new Saudi, you can go back and visit Iran, it's free, it's safe. That's one of the five.

• 51:09Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 51:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that in your top two?

• 51:10Adam Sosnick?

  Do you think that's in my top two?

• 51:14Patrick Bet-David?

  I would say, I would say it's two, three.

• 51:19Adam Sosnick?

  I have it as four.

• 51:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 51:21Adam Sosnick?

  Number one is the Save Act. I don't know if it's gonna happen.

• 51:24Speaker 12

  Good.

• 51:24Adam Sosnick?

  We gotta protect America.

• 51:25Speaker 12

  I love it.

• 51:25Adam Sosnick?

  Look, that's number one to me.

• 51:26Patrick Bet-David?

  All right.

• 51:27Adam Sosnick?

  America first.

• 51:28Patrick Bet-David?

  What's your two?

• 51:28Adam Sosnick?

  Okay? Number two, if that gets done, midterms, well, it's too early to tell about midterms.

• 51:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 51:34Adam Sosnick?

  I've been around long enough that we're gonna lose, it's gonna be a red wave, I'm not there yet, okay?

• 51:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Try to give a short answer.

• 51:39Adam Sosnick?

  Supreme Court.

• 51:40Patrick Bet-David?

  What's your two?

• 51:41Adam Sosnick?

  Supreme Court is important.

• 51:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh-huh.

• 51:43Adam Sosnick?

  But I'm old enough to remember when they were gonna pack the court five years ago.

• 51:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so then-

• 51:46Adam Sosnick?

  And they didn't do it.

• 51:46Patrick Bet-David?

  So then-

• 51:47Adam Sosnick?

  From a, from a foreign, uh, perspective?

• 51:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 51:51Adam Sosnick?

  Yes, we're in the middle of Iran right now.

• 51:53Patrick Bet-David?

  So-

• 51:53Adam Sosnick?

  But the average person doesn't wake up and think about-

• 51:55Patrick Bet-David?

  So now-

• 51:55Adam Sosnick?

  What's going on in Hormuz today?

• 51:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's what I want you to think about. Take that list, and this is on a podcast. Take that list and give it to the president. With him having access to all the information, how do you rank what's on his list? And that's what matters because he got elected. Everybody else talks, did you win an election? Did you become a president? Did you get shot in the ear? Did you get all that stuff that happened? Did you go through all the criticism? Did they go through your wife's drawer? Did they go through all that? No, they did it to him. So guess what happens? And that's after winning, losing, and a lot of stuff is coming with 2020 election. That's not going to be pretty for all those guys that were playing games on the inside. And he doesn't give up and comes back and wins again. Yeah, guess what? That's how elections work.

• 52:38Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, when Obama at the, what was the time when he was giving one of the speeches at the the house? And somebody booed him and he looks at him and says, elections have consequences. Boom. I'm the one that won. Guess what? Obama was right. Yes. And guess what? Trump is right. You know, so we'll see what he wants to do. But I will tell you, the, the concept of affordability is not going to be going away. Let me get into the next story here. Of, of, of what happened with the whole Pope Leo. So we know what happened with the comments. Towards Pope Leo said something about war. He's not supportive of war and what's going on. Trump responded back and said things about him. And then another reporter asked him a question and said, hey, what do you think about the

• 53:22Patrick Bet-David?

  four people that are being executed in Iran with one of them being a woman? Trump responds back and says, why don't you ask the Pope? The Pope then responds and says the following. He says, Pope Leo says his tyrant's remarks were not aimed at Trump. Okay, is that a clip that you have, Rob? Yes. Is this it? Yes, sir. Go for it.

  The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters. They are the descendants of Abraham, as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the seashore. Let us look into each other's eyes. We are this immense people. Peace is not something we must invent. It is something we must embrace by accepting our neighbor as our brother and as our sister.

• 56:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, nothing in that video was about Trump. So what do you want me to do with that video?

• 56:47Speaker 21

  Well, that's so the very first portion, that's the comment that they're saying he was making about President Trump. Pope Leo came out and said he was not calling.

• 56:55Patrick Bet-David?

  He said it in this video? Maybe I just wasn't listening.

• 56:57Speaker 21

  It's very.

• 56:57Patrick Bet-David?

  It's the first thing. I'm sorry, Rob. My mistake. Can you put that up again?

• 57:03Speaker 25

  The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. It is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.

• 57:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he say Trump?

• 57:13Speaker 12

  No, this is what they used to say that he was talking about Trump.

• 57:16Patrick Bet-David?

  They're insinuating, yeah. Is there a clip of him not saying anything about Trump? Because I thought he said that in the first. No. So Pope's Saturday remarks made this week in which the world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. The Pope's Angel of Ten Day was prepared for two week comments, has not accurate on all aspects. And his speech was prepared two weeks ago, well before the president ever commented on myself of the speech that I am promoting, he told Reuters. The news outlet cited that the Pope's saying comments were not aimed at Trump, as it happens. It was looked as if I was trying to debate the president, which is not in my interest at all. So good for him for saying that. And then Pope Leo comes out and expands call for peace to perceived war of words with Trump,

• 58:00Patrick Bet-David?

  which is good, that he's taking that direction, Rob. Is this another clip by him?

• 58:03Speaker 12

  This is.

• 58:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it.

• 58:05Speaker 26

  Certain narrative that has not been accurate in all of its aspects, but because of the political situation created when on the first day of the trip, President of the United States made some comments about myself. Much of what has been written since then has been more commentary on commentary, trying to interpret what has been said. Just one little example, the talk that I gave at the prayer meeting for peace.

• 58:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, this is the clip.

• 58:36Speaker 26

  A couple of days ago, was prepared two weeks ago, well before the president ever commented on myself and on the message of peace that I am promoting. And yet, as it happens, it was looked at as if I was trying to debate again the president, which is not in my interest at all.

• 58:56Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, I don't know about you, I love the way he communicates both messages. I absolutely love the way, and FYI, just so people know, my position because of my response. To Tucker Carlson when he said he made the comparisons of, you know, now they're comparing Catholics to Nazis or whatever that was said. I expect the Pope to not want war.

• 59:16Speaker 12

  Of course.

• 59:17Patrick Bet-David?

  I expect the Pope to not want war. Look, to me, a part of it is like, what's, he's supposed to not want it.

• 59:23Speaker 12

  Not controversial.

• 59:24Patrick Bet-David?

  But, by the way, the way he just communicated, you see, I don't know the guy. When he first was elected, because he's a Chicago pro-Republican pro, and I know Charlie came out and says, "Look, I don't know where the, you know, the verdict is still out. We're not gonna know whether this guy's a globalist or not." The verdict's out, and you know, everybody was saying, "Well, let's wait to see what's gonna happen with him." I, I like the way he communicated. I like the way the message he just gave. You know, this is him representing 1.4 billion people, and my expectation of somebody in a figure, a figurehead like this is to say, "Peace." You're supposed to say that. Totally fine, and try to do your best to stay out of politics. Didn't the previous Pope do some events with transgenders, or I don't know what he was doing?

• 1:00:03Speaker 12

  He bust them there, and yeah, it was pretty bad.

• 1:00:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so, and then Trump stands firm on his remark against the Pope. He hasn't changed his position. Rob, I don't know if you have a clip on that. Well, that's on the 16th, and Pope's comments were on the 18th, so it's kinda not fair to play that clip because it was a couple days prior to that. I will tell you this, the President is planning to join America Reads the Bible Initiative amidst spat with Pope Leo, and I don't know when this is gonna be happening, so... Let me see where this is. President Trump on Friday announced that he will attend a marathon reading of the Bible amid his few "The Group Christians Engaged" listed. Trump, one of the many participants in the America Reads the Bible event, which starts Saturday evening and runs for a week. The President sent a statement that he applauds every citizen, including, uh,

• 1:00:47Patrick Bet-David?

  uh, every citizen participating in the America Reads the Bible Initiative. "Together we will honor holy scripture, renew our faith, usher in historic resurgence of religion on American shores, and re-dedicate the United States as one nation under God." Beautiful. Elon, your thoughts on this?

• 1:01:04Speaker 12

  Well, I just think it's a reminder of the, the fundamental difference between moral authority and political authority. I'm really happy that the Pope came out and made that distinction super clear. And I, I agree with you entirely. I think it's nuts that people think the Pope calling for peace, which is the actual-

• 1:01:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Blessed are the peers makers, peacemakers.

• 1:01:21Speaker 12

  Yes, message of Christ. What is the controversy there, but that's a perfect example of the media trying to create division, as always. So, I like how it ended up, though. I like that we're about to have that reminder.

• 1:01:32Adam Sosnick?

  So, number one, I respect the Pope, specifically this Pope. By the way, did you catch, he's got a kind of a Chicago accident?

• 1:01:38Speaker 02

  I love it.

• 1:01:39Adam Sosnick?

  The Pope from Chicago?

• 1:01:41Speaker 02

  I love it.

• 1:01:41Adam Sosnick?

  Stop, bear, stop, bear, stop, bear, stop, Pope, stop, Pope, stop, Pope. He's doing great. Good for him. So, here's what we also know. Stay in your lane. Trump has an agenda, and what we know about Trump, if you get in his way, you could be whoever coming down, you could be the Pope, you could be the Ayatollah, you could be Bibi Netanyahu, Rabbi, priest, don't get in Trump's way. Like you said earlier, you wrestle with a pig, you're both gonna get muddy, but the pig loves it. Just don't do it. I respect the Pope.

• 1:02:14Speaker 02

  But all he said was bless other peacemakers, and he got attacked?

• 1:02:17Speaker 12

  Yeah, it was the media that...

• 1:02:19Adam Sosnick?

  It was the media that twisted it. So, speaking of the media twisting it, if you're gonna talk about tyrants, name the tyrants, then. Go ahead. If you're gonna get involved in politics, whether you're the Pope or not, go ahead and say the tyrant's name. Trump's on that list, guys.

• 1:02:34Speaker 12

  But Adam, can I ask you a question?

• 1:02:35Adam Sosnick?

  Xi, Putin, Kim Jong-un, whatever Ayatollah is alive at this point, Maduro is in jail right now, Lukashenko in Belarus, there's a whole list of tyrants before Trump's name should even be mentioned. Last but not least, read the Bible. That's great. Good for Trump. I know you don't think Trump's a Christian, whatever.

• 1:02:53Speaker 02

  He isn't.

• 1:02:54Adam Sosnick?

  Trump represents America. Trump's trying to put God first in America. Here's the last point. You want the left dictating biblical prophecy? You want the far left talking about God? They don't believe in God. Communists, literally, ban God. So, whatever you think of Trump, at least he's serving the Lord above. I'll leave it at that.

• 1:03:14Speaker 12

  What were you gonna say, Elon? No, I was, I was gonna say that, don't you still think it's, I mean, we know how Trump talks, we know how Trump is, but it was, it's not a good look to go, you know, you're saying Trump can, will go after anyone who goes after him.

• 1:03:24Speaker 02

  Sure.

• 1:03:24Speaker 12

  The Pope is probably one of the few people you should give a little bit of, a little bit of leniency.

• 1:03:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, can you play this clip? Rob, Rob, can you play this clip? Anton did a poll on Pope Leo and Trump to show popularity, to, to show the influence the Pope has. This is important to know numbers like this, and pay attention to it. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:03:45Speaker 27

  The American public at large, John, look at this. It is a blow on the net popularity rating. Pope Leo XIV at plus 34. Look at where Donald Trump is at minus 12. It's not even close. It's a nearly 50-point blowout amongst the American public at large. Pope Leo XIV absolutely crushing President Trump when it comes to how popular they are, at least as of the last month. And I will note that Pope Leo was the most popular person tested by NBC News. I believe the President is making a huge...

• 1:04:15Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a part of this poll, when you look at it. It's mathematically impossible for the President's popularity to be higher than Pope Leo's. Mathematically impossible. So I know this looks like, "Oh my God, maybe the Pope should run for office." No, no, it's a different story when they're polling this. This was the list they made that who was the least disliked person? What was it? Was it, you guys remember, was Elon Musk and Bibi or something like that? And it was UPS? Some weird names were on that list. I don't know what was on that list. UPS. No, I don't know what it was. Tom, your thoughts on this?

• 1:04:47Tom Ellsworth?

  So I was really irritated for most of this thing because, number one, there's nothing to be gained in getting in a spat with the Pope.

• 1:04:57Patrick Bet-David?

  No.

• 1:04:57Tom Ellsworth?

  That's the one guy. There's just really nothing to be gained. You gotta back off. And I think, you know, and this may not be popular, I think Trump got baited because I think it was the news media that was trying to create the controversy. Because remember, anything that can make Trump look bad, you know, they want to pin on him. Anything that they can create another group being upset, they want to create it, they want to foment. So it's basically the entire left wing. I'm not gonna, I'm gonna stop calling him the MSM. I'm gonna start calling him the Saul Alinsky gang, right? Because they're just using the same techniques, you know, of the underground, right? To go and do this.

• 1:05:38Tom Ellsworth?

  And so it's like, "Hey, Mr. President, don't bite on these things, on this stuff like this." And I think that's what happened. And it's annoying. Bibi, can you help me be positive for a second? This is the first American Pope.

• 1:05:53Adam Sosnick?

  We have a pro-America president. What can the Pope and Trump do to help unify America? Because the only way America is ever gonna lose anything is if you manufacture the fracture.

• 1:06:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:04Adam Sosnick?

  If there's a fracture inside here. Have they met yet in person? What can they do to bring America together? What can the Pope and Trump do to work together to help America win more? Have you thought about that?

• 1:06:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, I don't know, but let me ask you a question. If you were a betting person, would you bet that the Trump, that President Trump and the Pope are gonna do something together before the end of the year?

• 1:06:27Adam Sosnick?

  They have to, yes.

• 1:06:28Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think?

• 1:06:29Speaker 12

  I think this actually might turn out to be a good podcast.

• 1:06:31Patrick Bet-David?

  I know, I know. I actually think, I actually think they're gonna do something together because I think the Pope will. The Pope will do something together. Anything that brings more attention to the Christianity and the faith, you ought to do it. So I think that's gonna be taking place. I was never a fan of the picture that was posted. I've never been a fan of stuff like that, ever. Never, ever play God. Like, there is a, if you ever read the book Forty Laws of Power, you know what law number one is?

• 1:06:59Adam Sosnick?

  Never outshine the master.

• 1:07:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Never, ever, ever. And not only that's the book, and we're Assyrians, we learned the hard way. You know, we're trying to, Vinny and I have been trying for 47 years to go back and do vacation at Assyria. The country, we're having a hard time finding the place.

• 1:07:14Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:14Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not on the map, and there's a reason for it. Let me continue, let me continue, yes. Assyria, let me get to the next story here. Next story I want to get to is, maybe, maybe a quick story. Rob, can you pull up this poll? You just had it, you had one of the tweets of showing which type of kids, do you know which one I'm talking about, Rob? Which political party Yes. deals with the most amount of mental illness? Have you seen this?

• 1:07:40Adam Sosnick?

  No.

• 1:07:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you seen this, Vinny? No, check this out. So make it bigger, Rob, so we can kind of show it to the audience. Watch this. Percentage of younger people diagnosed with a mental health problem, whites under the age of 40.

• 1:07:53Adam Sosnick?

  What?

• 1:07:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at that. 56% of kids under the age of, whites under 40, who are strong Democrats.

• 1:08:01Adam Sosnick?

  Wow.

• 1:08:01Patrick Bet-David?

  41% of those that are weak Democrats. 35% of independents. 30% of weak Republicans. Fifty percent of strong-

• 1:08:13Speaker 12

  We found a cure. We found a cure to mental health.

• 1:08:16Tom Ellsworth?

  It is.

• 1:08:17Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you process this information, Tom, when you read it?

• 1:08:20Tom Ellsworth?

  I'd like to thank you all for being here today. We'll be back Wednesday. I'd like to end on a high note. How do I process this?

• 1:08:26Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you process it?

• 1:08:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Look, I'll tell you how I process this. I process on a, on the, on a processing line and on a logic line. So, logic and emotion. You could draw the line of logic from strong Republican to emotion on strong Democrat. You could. You could draw it that way. And I also, you know, believe you could do processing, willingness to process. So, closed-minded. I think if you do closed-minded versus open-minded, you know what I mean, Pat? Like, willing to debate, willing to process. Hey, look, I'm open enough-minded to listen to your point. You may not move me, but I'm willing to listen to your point. Who says that? Strong Republican or strong Democrat? No, the strong Republican says that. Willing to debate, willing to be open.

• 1:09:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Strong Democrat says, no, you're wrong. You should be canceled and, and, and, and shut down. So, I, this lines up with me, and I think it lines right up with a logic and emotion line, and it lines right up with a willing to process, not willing to process. And guess what? Unwilling to process, closed-minded, and unwilling to debate, and you end up in your, in your own anger. Guess what you have? You have these screaming, middle-aged, white women that we've seen in, in videos going, what is her problem and what is going on?

• 1:09:40Speaker 12

  I think there's a, a major correlation here between what people use as their identity. If you looked at strong Democrats, they identify with material things like gender identity, their sexual orientation, all these things. You go down the list, you get to strong Republican, and their identity comes from faith. I've suffered from mental health issues. I've suffered from all types of stuff, and faith was the one thing that saved me. And I guarantee you, if you looked at that fifteen percent strong Republican, the reason that it's so low comparatively is because they have something to root that.

• 1:10:08Patrick Bet-David?

  What a great point. What a great point, Vinnie.

• 1:10:10Speaker 02

  I agree a hundred percent. And if you think about it, you don't get to fifty-six percent by accident. When you raise a generation inside of a system that leads one way from top to bottom, think about it. And you mentioned this multiple times, Pat. The schools, the colleges, the professors, they're all pushing that woke-agenda nonsense. It's hate, it's anger, from the media, from all the fears, from all the crisis, from social media, from the gender stuff and everything. Fake news and all that stuff, that's them. I, I, when I was on Pierce Pad, I did that thing about before and after these people that have Trump Derangement Syndrome, and I tell people, they just had everybody, and Trump, love him or hate him, however you feel, you have to admit, what he did to the system made people go absolutely nuts.

• 1:10:54Speaker 02

  And I, I connected a guy yesterday and I told him, there should be a class action lawsuit, and I'm be, I'm not being funny at all, for what they did to people's brains, because bro, TDS is an actual thing where psychiatry, I mean that's it.

• 1:11:06Speaker 12

  I agree with you, Vinny.

• 1:11:07Speaker 02

  It's like, shouldn't they all get together and say, hey, you lied, and mind you, if Trump, Adam, if Trump is out there, you thank God came out of it, right? If Trump is out there and he's made, what, I think 60 or 70 million suing, whoever he sued, all these major networks, because they lied, if you've ruined somebody's brain where they turned into a carveal, and they're like, everybody, that, if you, if that has happened to you, I think you should get a class action, get a lawyer and go and sue them. So that goes to the diagnosed with mental health problems, that's what it is. You don't talk to anybody, you're in your bubble, you know, your parents are just jamming drugs down your throat, you don't have any faith in you.

• 1:11:41Speaker 12

  Ritalin, Ritalin, Ritalin.

• 1:11:43Speaker 02

  Yeah, what is a woman, if that's, that's where you're at? This charge, by the way, this is by, the data is by the US General Social Survey, this isn't some rinky-dink survey, this is legitimate, and I think it's, it, it's just a, a testament, an example of what these people are just brainwashing you with, when you're falling for it.

• 1:12:00Speaker 12

  I did a study on mass psychosis, I don't know if you guys know the Ash Experiment and Milgram Experiment back in the day, two very unique experiments to see how people could harm people in their own circle. One of them was the, the one where they literally put people into shock, people and authorities telling them to. The other one was about conformity, the, the Ash Conformity Experiment, where you had lines, and people would literally deny what they saw with their own eyes, because everyone else said, these lines don't line up.

• 1:12:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:12:25Speaker 12

  We're seeing that today with the Democratic Party. Uh, I did a social experiment where I had people come in, they thought they were on a TV show. They thought that they were there to cancel somebody, they had the choice. There were two other judges, there were social media influencers, everyone was an actor except for them, they thought it was live TV. And we had a guy in the other room who had apparently wrote a book about affirmative action, was a lawyer, and because of the social pressure, every single person voted to cancel that person for his book and ruin his life. We made it harder, because I wanted to see if humanizing people would work. We brought people into the room to meet him accidentally before, like in the waiting room. And then we came in, we said, oh, you weren't supposed to meet. But while they were in the room, the lawyer, the fake lawyer, said, my daughter has leukemia. I wrote this book to take care of her. They still canceled it. When you want

• 1:13:10Speaker 12

  to understand, only one person was not willing to cancel him, he had an emotional breakdown. When you want to understand how deep this is, I sat there watching, almost in tears, as I watched people proudly destroy someone's life, whose daughter they believed had leukemia and needed this treatment. They did not care, because he wrote a book on affirmative action. So this is, you're literally right when you say it's mass psychosis.

• 1:13:31Speaker 02

  I think it is. I truly, truly think it is. And it all started with Trump's victory.

• 1:13:36Adam Sosnick?

  So you're asking the question, what's the biggest difference between this, this chart between a far-left Democrat and a far- Democrat. This is a regular Republican. I mean, there's a couple of things at the foundation. One believes in equality, one believes in equity, the foundation right there. One wants control, one wants freedom, liberty, right? Remember the speech that the new face of the Democratic Party, Zora Mondani gave on, when he was sworn in? He says, we're going to replace rugged individualism with the warmth blanket of collectivism. AKA Marxism, AKA Communism, AKA we're going to seize the means of production. Manufacture the fracture.

• 1:14:19Adam Sosnick?

  Manufacture the fracture. What's going on here? Tom hit the nail on the head with emotions. You know, facts don't care about your feelings. You talk about not having God, atheism, anti-God. All of it leads to a point where they're going insane, and then you have just people with common sense being like, I don't like what's going on here. And they say something about it. I didn't get a chance to say, remember that video that you just played about Corina Maria Machado? And I go, is that in Venezuela? It goes in Spain. I don't know if you can pull that up, just the tagline. They said, all right-wing people need to realize what's going on. No.

• 1:14:57Adam Sosnick?

  Common sense people. Because you don't need to, people ask you, are you Republican? I'm a common sense, bro. If I see the Republicans go off the Richter scale, I'll go back to the left. But at this point, here it is right here.

• 1:15:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you though.

• 1:15:10Adam Sosnick?

  The left is so insane, how can you endorse that?

• 1:15:12Patrick Bet-David?

  I get it, but to me, that entire chart, go back to that chart, Rob, and I want to play another clip that Tom, you're probably not expecting me to play this clip, but I want to get your reaction to it. The only difference here is, which one of these guys you think goes to church the most?

• 1:15:28Speaker 02

  The strong Republican?

• 1:15:29Patrick Bet-David?

  The strong Republican.

• 1:15:30Adam Sosnick?

  Of course.

• 1:15:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Kids who go, dude, we're on a flight. Like, listen, my boys, their faith, we're in the car and Vinnie will say stuff and Dylan will, and that's what happened. And then, and then Tico and that's on, they go, they go to, to a school and, and, you know, and, and they're heavily involved in it. But I will tell you, we're on the flight. I, I wish you were on this flight just to experience this with us. We're on the flight, we're traveling. We're 47 years old. This is top five worst flight of my lifetime. The pilot is deciding in terrible weather with strong winds to go around a, a mountain to a private airport that no one has been landing all day. Our pilot, okay, cowboy, this guy's like, hey, we're gonna go do it.

• 1:16:15Patrick Bet-David?

  And me and Vinnie are sitting there in the back, playing cards, very calm, we're not worried about it. We're like this, okay? And Dylan is just sitting there, Tico's talking to us, Senna was playing a joke with Vinnie, Vinnie's just like, hey, see you in heaven. And just joke, not, not the types of jokes you're supposed to say. Like, they haven't been briefed on it yet, they got briefed afterwards. And then we land and we're talking to Dylan, we're like, Dylan, you weren't scared at all? No. Why not? What's the worst thing that's gonna happen? I want to meet Jesus. By the way, he says this, reaction like this. Reaction like this. I, I didn't have that as a kid.

• 1:16:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:16:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Like this. Faith plays a massive, massive role in mental health problems. Because for you, no matter what you're going through, I had a conversation late last night with somebody that just, this is an area they really have a hard time with, it's, it's a family member. And, and, and I'm on the phone, I'm like,

• 1:17:16Patrick Bet-David?

  I said, "You gotta figure out a way to get close because everything to you is the end of the world and everything is crisis." You don't even know it. Every time you call, I told this person this last night. Every time you call, your name is on the phone. What feeling you think you provide to the other people that's seeing you when you call them? Whether you know it or not, whoever you call and whoever calls, you produce a feeling when you see their name on the phone.

• 1:17:41Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:17:42Patrick Bet-David?

  I said, "You know what feeling you provide when you call?"

• 1:17:45Adam Sosnick?

  What?

• 1:17:45Patrick Bet-David?

  This person said what? I said anxiety.

• 1:17:48Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, man.

• 1:17:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Every single time. I say, "You do that to everybody. You don't even know it." You don't even know it. Every time your name is on the phone is anxiety. I know 50% of bad news is gonna be delivered. Why? Faith is not in that person's life. They're not going in thinking that the future looks bright because the whole, what's the whole con- Like, what is the backbone of "Future Looks Bright"? Like, we talk about "Future Looks Bright." "Oh, we got Future Looks Bright." They're just selling hats and shirts and all this stuff. Do you really wanna know the bad, why do you think- Why do you think the, the, the whole FLB brand can sell a hat that says "Faith Over Fear"? Why? 'Cause "Future Looks Bright" Looks bright because we have faith over fear. Like, the whole concept is faith.

• 1:18:33Patrick Bet-David?

  If you don't have faith, how do you know the future looks bright? You tell me where the concept of "Future Looks Bright" comes from, if you don't have faith. How do you know? You don't know. Well, why are you so optimistic? "I just got faith." What am I gonna tell you? I, I, I, I just, I just feel everything's gonna work out, so I, I do believe that, you know, as you look at that chart and Jonathan Haidt, if you haven't yet read his book, "Anxious Generation", I've been recommended this book for two years. Parents, do yourself a favor and go look at it. I wanna play you another clip here. This other clip I wanna play you. Is a story of let me find this clip Rob, did I text it to you or not? I may or may not text it to you. If I didn't, let me send it over your way.

• 1:19:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's a man who he's on, he is being interviewed to talk about what technology has done to our kids and what the role of technology has been historically. Every single time we introduce new technology to kids. Rob, I want you, I want you to play the one from X because it's a lot cleaner without the start. So here's Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath. Okay. Uh, let's forget about his middle name, but Dr. Jared Horvath is giving this message and I want to, I want to, can you go all the way to the top, Rob, for me to read some of the quote? Okay. He breaks down, delivered the brutal, brutal truth, parents and educators need to face.

• 1:19:58Patrick Bet-David?

  His core warning, Gen Z is the first modern generation to be, well, I'll let him say it. Rob, play the clip. It is so powerful. How long is it? Man, we can't watch the whole thing, but we'll watch the first two minutes. Go ahead, Rob.

  My name is Dr. Jared Cooney-Horvath. I'm a former teacher turned cognitive neuroscientist who focuses on human learning. And I do not receive funding, nor have I ever, from Big Tech. So, a sad fact our generation has to face is this: our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age. Since we've been standardizing and measuring cognitive development since the late 1800s, every generation has outperformed their parents. And that's exactly what we want. We want sharper kids. And the reason for this largely has been school. Each generation spends more time in school. We use school to develop our cognition. Congratulations, you see your correlation. Until Gen Z, Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention, to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to even general IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.

• 1:23:19Speaker 28

  So why? What happened around 2010 that decoupled schooling from cognitive development? It can't be school. Schools basically look the same. It can't be biology. This hasn't had enough time to change. The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning. Across 80 countries, as Gene was just saying, if you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation less than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that's across 80 countries. Bring it home to the US. Let's go to the US. We have our NAEP. That's our big data. Take any state, and here's a fun experiment you can try. Take any state NAEP data, compare that to when that state adopted one-to-one technology widely, and watch what happens.

• 1:24:02Speaker 28

  The NAEP data will plateau and then start to drop. Now, as Gene said, of course, this is all correlative. What we really want is causative. To get causation, what you need is academic research, and you need mechanisms, explanations for why we're seeing what we're seeing. Luckily, we have academic research stretching back to 1962 that shows the exact same story for 60 years. When tech enters education, learning goes down. In fact, one of the biggest ed psychologists right now, Dylan William out of the UK, recently said, "Ed tech is a revolution that's been coming for 60 years, and we're gonna have to wait another 60 because it ain't doing anything." Now, that's research, but now we need mechanisms. Luckily, over the last about two decades, we've been doing a lot of work in what we call the science of learning. How do human beings learn? And we now have the clear understanding of why tech does not work for learning, and it is all biological. It's not that the tech isn't being used well enough, we haven't been trained enough, we

• 1:24:47Speaker 28

  need better programs. It's we have evolved biologically to learn from other human beings, not from screens. And screens circumvent that process. I won't go too deeply into the mechanisms, they can get boring, but just know they're there if you want to talk about them. So that leaves us with two options. Option one, when you know something is wrong, do better. So we could just say, "Hey, mea culpa, get some of this tech out of schools, go back to what we know works, some analog methods, cool." Or two, we could redefine our terms. We could redefine what it means to be an effective learner. I want to end with one quick story here. Think back to your childhood, to your schooling. I guarantee all of us at one point took a test on reading comprehension. And the way it looked is this. Here's a passage of about 750 words. Here are 10 to 12 questions about that passage. Most of them are inferential, not factual. They're asking you to go beyond what you just read to see what you understood. Cool. Last year, the SATs had a reading comprehension section. Here's what it looked like.

• 1:25:32Speaker 28

  Here is a single sentence of 75 words. Here is one question fact-based about that that sentence. Next. Here is another sentence of 75 words. Here is one question about that sentence. Next. Last year, they redefined reading comprehension to mean 54 short sentences with one question about each. That is skimming. That's not reading. Why would we ever do that? Because what do kids do on computers? They skim. So rather than determining what do we want our children to do and gearing education towards that, we are redefining education to better suit the tool. That's not progress.

• 1:26:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Exactly. Exactly. What a powerful thing that this fellow's talking about. Tom, your thoughts on this?

• 1:26:08Tom Ellsworth?

  So, married to a teacher. I'll tell you a very, very interesting story here. They've done tests with live human teachers. And what they did, they took a group of kids and they told the kids. And Dennis Whately, the psychology of winning. He, he talked about this in a, I saw him give a talk. This goes way back. I think he passed away a couple of years ago.

• 1:26:32Patrick Bet-David?

  No, he wrote one of the best motivational books of all time that athletes read, business owners read, business salespeople read. It's a phenomenal book.

• 1:26:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep. And so what he talked about, a teacher goes into a class, an average public high school that's in a marginal area of town. Not downtown, not uptown, just average. And what they did, it was like fifth grade. They said, by the way, all of the students in this class, according to the tests that we've been taking, are high-achieving students. Congratulate yourselves, you're all high-achieving students. And so what they did, they kept reinforcing that. And they reinforce it, reinforce it. And Kim can tell you about this. Guess what happens? The test scores there were better than the previous year's class of student.

• 1:27:22Tom Ellsworth?

  Why? Hmm. Because what did they put in the kid's head? The assumption that we're going to do well. And it was human teaching, looking at them and directly complimenting them. Wow, Elon, that's really, really good. But this is why you're all in here, this school, this class with us, where we're, we're all going to do very well together, where we're all very good at this. And so what happens is, it goes right into the, here we go, the subtle what of what? You know?

• 1:27:51Adam Sosnick?

  Low expectations?

• 1:27:52Tom Ellsworth?

  Correctamundo. That's exactly what it is. So, human teaching and connecting with human and instilling, you know, quality, um, impressions, and then teaching human to human works best. Now, can you read a book? Can, can the textbook be on, you know, an ebook? Sure, it can. And if you're gonna read and read and read, it can. But, this is absolutely correct, that digital leads to skimming, and skimming leads to lower comprehension. And now even the SAT has completely taken a left turn. If the SAT or the Stanford nine would go back to taking the large blocks and then test

• 1:28:33Tom Ellsworth?

  inferential, we would be, we would, there would be a, um, you know, there'd be a parental uprising in America. But, against who? The teachers' unions in every town. And we can't have that.

• 1:28:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you actually think it's better to take the technologies out, Tom?

• 1:28:49Tom Ellsworth?

  I think if the technology is only used to like, so you don't have to print the book, um, I, I, I like that. I want human connection.

• 1:29:00Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what happened yesterday? I'm having a conversation with one of, uh, the younger, uh, boys in our family. Okay? I'm gonna try to say this in the, in the, in a way that, you know, we can't figure out who it is. Love this kid. He's phenomenal. Uh, uh, very, very good kid. So, a week ago, I bought him a book. Okay? And I gave him this book nine days ago. And while he's with me, I ask him a question. I say, "By when will you finish this book?" Now, he's not a reader, so he doesn't read books. And school grades is okay, but he's not like a straight A kid that, you know, aces everything. That's not him. His strength is in a different place. He's got a high EQ, okay? Not on this side. So he's got a very, very high EQ like, uh...

• 1:29:44Patrick Bet-David?

  So anyways, I said, "When will you finish this book?" He says to me, "Uh, by next Friday," meaning two days ago, three days ago. I said, "I'm gonna ask it to you one more time, because whatever you tell me, I'm gonna hold you to it. When will you finish this book?" He said, "No, I'm telling you by next Friday." I said, "Okay, no prob..." I'm the wrong guy to make a commitment and say and not do it. Oh, yeah. He says, "No, I'm telling you. That's what's gonna happen." I said, "Great." Friday, he texts me. I said, "Where are you at?" He said, "Uh, uh, I'm, I'm at page 50. I haven't finished the book." I said, "Yeah, listen, I'm not interested in this kind of stuff that you're doing with me. If you want me to work with you and then I ask the parents,

• 1:30:27Patrick Bet-David?

  "How much leeway are you giving me to challenge your kid?" I specifically asked him. I said, "I wanna be aligned, because I don't want you to come back and say you're pushing too hard." And they said, "We're on the same page. We're aligned." Fantastic. I'm gonna push him, and if you're okay with it, I'm gonna go hard. No problem. Text me. I'm not responding back, because you didn't respond back to my commitments. Great.

• 1:30:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Calls me yesterday, sends me a report, finished the book, cover to cover, and late at night, 8:00, 8:30, whatever time it is, he says, "Hey, when can we talk?" All day, he's texting me, "When can we talk? When can we talk?" I said, "When I get a time, I'll call you." So I call him, and he starts... I said, "Go ahead. What did you take away from the book?" He starts telling me what he took away from the book. Tom, Ivan, it was as if he saw a new world, because it's... He's never read a... It's not a business book. He doesn't read books like this. And by the way, it's a phenomenal book that every parent who has a kid playing sports, you have to have your kids read this book. We, we probably sold 5,000 copies of books today, and we're not even... None of these books are ours.

• 1:31:34Patrick Bet-David?

  We're terrible at, at, uh, selling, but so...

• 1:31:38Patrick Bet-David?

  He's like, and he said this. And then he was telling the story about the scroll and he said this. And then this one girl that was playing tennis and he said this, you could see the shine versus, you know, when the phone is, he's always like this.

• 1:31:52Speaker 12

  Mm-hmm.

• 1:31:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Because it's always on, it drives me insane. You know, our kids, my, my oldest son is 14 years old. He still has no social media. He's the only, he's the only kid that has no social media. Zero. He has nothing. His phone, it's only because he goes running and mom's trying to get a hold of him. Dylan's like, Dad, when I, when can I get a phone? All my friends. Sena's nine years old. Her friends at eight years old had cellphone and social media. The kids have nothing. It's so hard to keep it apart for this long. By the way, can we recommend the book, Rob? Can you pull up the book? It's called The Game of Tennis. I think it's a green book, Rob, if you can pull this up. It's got nothing to do with tennis.

• 1:32:26Speaker 12

  The Inner Game of Tennis.

• 1:32:27Patrick Bet-David?

  It's The Inner Game of Tennis, of mentally developing the mindset that a ton of professional quarterbacks, athletes have read this book. Coaches have been recommended this book. It's an incredible book to read, The Inner Game of Tennis, by Timothy Galloway. Look at the number of reviews, by the way. 9,872 reviews, written in 1997, and the foreword is, Pete Carroll. You, you kind of see this, I think the

• 1:32:49Speaker 12

  The coach.

• 1:32:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Pete Carroll. So, what, what, what are your thoughts about what he said in the, in the video?

• 1:32:54Speaker 12

  I think that human nature strives for efficiency. Sometimes that's extremely good. Sometimes it leads to, I think, what we're seeing now, which is the, in many ways, not to sound like weird, but like the death of the human spirit, because what you were just talking about, you know, looking, reading a book where your mind has to work to create the imagery, your mind has to understand. We're going more and more and more efficient. I don't even think we're touching the start of what this will lead to, because with AI, the tools become exponentially more efficient. It's not like a regular linear curve. This will exponentially increase to the point where all information, every task, everything is done for humans. It's like the movie Wally back in the day. Humans are not intend, we're intended to struggle, so we're reaching a point where

• 1:33:37Speaker 12

  we're gonna have to create our own struggle. I think it's Pandora's box. It's out of the, the box at this point. We're not gonna go back to before this. The question is, how do we deal with it now that it's here? How do we get people to understand that this isn't necessarily a good thing? And yeah, I'm very, very worried about what this looks like in the future. I've been looking at AI for a very long time.

• 1:33:57Speaker 02

  And I get, I get to see it in real time because when we're out or we're at a dinner and there's four kids, none of them are on a phone, they don't have a phone. When I tell you the conversations, and Tom, you're there all the time, Pat, it's a, bro, we're sitting all around each other and I have a 14-year-old that will not stop talking to me about God, about Jesus, about politics, about, did you see this? Did you see that? As he's still talking, Dylan is talking to me about, Uncle Vinny, sports, what about this? What about that? Santa's talking, it's, it's, bro, you're immersed in conversation, nobody. And then me and Humberto, yesterday we were at Cheesecake Factory, very, very big menu. I highly recommend you do research before you go. There's the.

• 1:34:38Adam Sosnick?

  Especially if you're with Humberto.

• 1:34:39Speaker 02

  The, the, the menu, no joke, is like this, Humberto, like, it was, we were arguing over.

• 1:34:44Adam Sosnick?

  That's a reading of a book in itself.

• 1:34:45Speaker 02

  That's a book in itself, yeah. Charles, the Cheesecake Factory author. But, uh, we're sitting there, we're sitting there and Humberto can vouch back. I'm sitting, it's a parent, uh, husband, wife, one more friend. The kids, for one hour, I, not even joking, were like this, and the kid has big glock goggles, because he's like this, he can't see, and not one peep from any of the kids, until they left, and then as they're walking away, the kid couldn't even put it down, and the parent had to grab it. I'm telling you right now, it's, it's an uncomfortable conversation because you, I, I see it. The kids are like, well, these people have it, these people have it, they don't understand the, the, the great thing that you're giving them, because at some point, it's inevitable, bro. They're gonna be 16, they're gonna be 18, they're gonna have it.

• 1:35:28Speaker 02

  But this development stage, you have to have it, because, bro, you could go on a road trip with Tico, he shuts the music off, he goes, I wanna just talk to you, Uncle Vinny. I'm like, we could put whatever you want. He's like, no, I wanna talk. We talk for an hour in the car, he just wants to have a conversation. I think that's what you have to do, is that uncomfortable moment, because guess what? Everybody else has one, you're not gonna have one. And I think that's a hard conversation to have.

• 1:35:51Adam Sosnick?

  Look, I think this is probably the most important conversation in America today. What our kids are learning and reading and using tech and when they should be able to use tech. So Tico's 14, hasn't had a cellphone yet. My nephew's 13, has no cellphone. He wanted to get one for his bar mitzvah. We said, nah, buddy, wait until you're 16. That's a whole conversation. Why? That story you just told about whoever that was, how old, he doesn't read books, but he didn't have the highest IQ, had a high EQ. That was me. I remember in high school, like, I did not want to read books. I would get good grades just because I knew stuff I would study. But if you give me a 200-page book, I'd be like, can we get some Cliff Notes over here? Remember when Cliff Notes were a thing? Yeah.

• 1:36:35Adam Sosnick?

  Think about this now. Cliff Notes, you have to go buy it. It was still 50 pages. You can do a chat GPT. Give me the book summary, blah, blah, blah, blah, of any book you want. Bingo. So, you know, someone said to me the other goes, if you put the work in, it'll work out. I said, oh, I like that. The problem is, is that you don't have to put any work in. Life is so easy. You can get whatever you want, snap of a finger, press of a button. And then what happens? They get anxious. They get depressed because we're making up problems in America today. What's the book? The Anxious Generation.

• 1:37:05Patrick Bet-David?

  The Anxious Generation. Amazing.

• 1:37:07Adam Sosnick?

  Jonathan Haidt. They're, they're making up things to get depressed about and anxious about because, because of this. Yeah. This is the, this is the greatest tool or greatest weapon, depending on how you look at it.

• 1:37:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Parents, parents, it's on you though, parents.

• 1:37:21Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:37:22Patrick Bet-David?

  It's totally on you. It's not easy. I get it. People will enact and trust me, as a parent,

• 1:37:29Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I screw up all the flipping time parenting. You make mistakes all the flipping time. You ain't gonna do it right. Like, you know, all of us are like, you ever go on the, out to dinner? And a husband and wife are there and it's like, oh my God, we just celebrated our anniversary. And then, so what did your husband do? And the wife starts explaining what the husband did. And you're like, can you already just shut up? Everything was so perfect. And your wife is sitting there and it's like, Why can't you do something like that for me?

• 1:37:58Tom Ellsworth?

  Why can't you be like that?

• 1:37:59Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, it's like all this stuff. I'm like.

• 1:38:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh my god.

• 1:38:01Patrick Bet-David?

  And then you're like, okay, all right. I want to go to dinner with husband. It's like, honestly, I forgot the. That's my kind of a.

• 1:38:08Tom Ellsworth?

  Today's their anniversary.

• 1:38:09Patrick Bet-David?

  You made all of us, you know, it's a.

• 1:38:11Tom Ellsworth?

  Makes you look good.

• 1:38:12Speaker 02

  I love this guy.

• 1:38:13Patrick Bet-David?

  He's going places.

• 1:38:14Tom Ellsworth?

  Protect that man.

• 1:38:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Right, but, but the point is this, is you're going to fail. You're going to screw up. You're gonna mistake, make mistakes as a parent. All of us are. None of us are walking on water as parenting. You're gonna screw this thing up. But man, there's a handful of places do not screw up with because we're about to lose Tom right now. There's a handful of places do not screw up.

• 1:38:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Giggity.

• 1:38:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Don't become the parent that says, but let him just play for a little bit. It's easy. Let him just have a little bit. Saturday, Sunday, fine. Monday through Friday, lock it up.

• 1:38:46Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep.

• 1:38:47Patrick Bet-David?

  And then for Saturday and Sunday, give a certain time that they can do if they don't. Like, you know, our, uh, uh, our guy, our girls have to do leg raises, okay? And it's very, I mean, Brooklyn will literally. We have to do 50 leg raises, steps on the table, comes down, right and left. And then Senna has to do 50. She lights, and then Dylan has to do his training. But create something for them to get it. It's not easy. I understand. Tom, I think you wanted to say something before we go to the next story.

• 1:39:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, I just give a how to. We all often talk about things. We don't give a how to. We'll give you a how to here. Number one, no social media. Number two, when the kid comes home, put the phone and a charger in the kitchen. The phone is there for communication and safety because I know many parents want their kids have that phone at school. But the other thing is, get them a regular Kindle. The Kindle that just have the books on it. Now you can put all the books on the Kindle. They can highlight it and you're reading and you're not distracted by any notifications or anything that, oh, I'll put the Kindle app on the phone. No, it's a hundred bucks. You can get a Kindle for a hundred nine dollars or something right now. Those little thin Kindles are about the size of a book because you want the kids to read a book. That way they're immersed without distraction. So those are the only two how tos I'll get is.

• 1:39:56Tom Ellsworth?

  And I'm not trying to be proponent for Kindle, but it's the last man standing after Nook and Sony Reader and all those.

• 1:40:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, just put your, Rob, put his link for his.

• 1:40:03Speaker 02

  Come on, put his book.

• 1:40:05Tom Ellsworth?

  Affiliate link.

• 1:40:06Speaker 02

  No, because I'll tell you.

• 1:40:07Patrick Bet-David?

  I'll read gooder than you.

• 1:40:08Speaker 12

  He just, Tom just made a hundred thousand dollars. But they have that paperless thing on it, which is really good also. It's not using blue light. It's excellent.

• 1:40:16Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah. Correct. And Bailey, I'll give you a fast, fast story. She reads this book, All Quiet on the Western Front, and she's reading it. Classic book. She's reading it in paper format. And every now and then I see little pencil notes in there. And I'm like, she wasn't asked to highlight anything, but she made little pencil notes. And on the very last page, because you know what happens at the end? Paul dies. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. All of us, this is 1918, World War I. All of his friends die in the book. He looks like he's gonna make it. And on the last page, last book, it says, "Today's report. All quiet on the Western's front, but Paul has been shot." And he dies. Underneath, in capital letters, "NOOOO!"

• 1:41:01Tom Ellsworth?

  Because it's almost the end of the book, and you're thinking there it's gonna go there. And we had a great conversation about the book. And this is, there's the second point. Talk to your kids about the book, just like Pat did. Yeah.

• 1:41:12Adam Sosnick?

  I can't believe you read that book. Next thing you're gonna do, you're gonna tell me that Blue died in old school.

• 1:41:15Speaker 02

  You realize, as he was telling that story, some guy, somebody that's listening to this right now bought the book, and then they're like, damn.

• 1:41:21Tom Ellsworth?

  They bought it right, and they brought it up.

• 1:41:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me go to the next story.

• 1:41:27Tom Ellsworth?

  It was a movie.

• 1:41:28Adam Sosnick?

  It's like the thing with Obama or Trump won, "No!"

• 1:41:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Hey, quick shout out to Alan Yesamete, who just bought 10 PBD Podcast gift memberships. I don't know if I've done the last shout out for three years. But I'm just giving a shout out to that guy, wherever you are, whoever you are, you're the man. All right, let me get to this next part. So, story comes out of Idaho, okay? Idaho. Idaho governor signs into law child sex abuse death penalty bill despite US Supreme Court ruling. So while he's supporting the Idaho legislator, the bill is likely to face constitutional challenges. Lawmakers acknowledge, but they are hopeful law will prevail. Now, look at the date there. If you look at the date, what's the date?

• 1:42:11Tom Ellsworth?

  March 27.

• 1:42:12Patrick Bet-David?

  So let me read this to you on what this is really all about, and what it means, and how different this is than everywhere else. Okay. So this is called the House Bill 380, Governor Brad Little, okay? In regards to death penalty for a new offense called aggravated lewd conduct with a child aged 12 years or younger. This covers certain severe sexual abuse cases against very young children, under 12, but only if the case meets at least three of the 17 specific aggravated factors, okay? Multiple incidents, use of force, causing injury, transmitting a disease, et cetera, et cetera. If that happens, Idaho may, you ready for this? Firing squad. Oh my God.

• 1:42:57Patrick Bet-David?

  The state's primary method of execution, effective around mid 2026, replacing the lethal injection as the default due to drug shortages. Firing squad, okay, Vinny, firing squad. The lawmaking firing squad permit method takes into effect July 1st of 2026. Before that day, the state cannot use it as a default, and executions overall have been paused while the prison builds and prepares a new firing squad facility. They're building a firing squad facility, okay? For folks like the construction and training are still underway. What kind of training are you gonna need for this?

• 1:43:38Speaker 02

  Aim or the front.

• 1:43:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Idaho has not carried out any execution by any method since June of 2012. The last attempt was in 2024 on Thomas Kriech, failed due to inability to establish lines for lethal injection. There are currently about eight or nine people on Idaho's death row, all sentenced under the new rule, old rules, primarily for aggravated first degree murder, no new death sentences. And the 2025 child sex abuse HB law 380 have resulted in an execution yet, and none could because, you know, it's going through it. But can you imagine if all of a sudden, once this passes, July, somebody does something in Idaho? Public execution? Rob, when is the last time America even had a public execution?

• 1:44:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Was it 70s, early 80s?

• 1:44:27Tom Ellsworth?

  No, I don't think it's been public. I think executions have been closed.

• 1:44:33Patrick Bet-David?

  These guys are talking about public execution. So Tom, I'm gonna come to you first. What are your thoughts on this? Because we've been reading, by the way, I saw a story. I don't even want to read the story to you, it's so disturbing. Honestly, parents, if you're watching this, I'm just gonna tell you, do me a favor and don't take a pause on this side to not show it. Did you see about the girl on Snapchat, what she was willing to do with her daughter? Did you see what happened to this lady? Rob, do you have that clip?

• 1:45:02Tom Ellsworth?

  I do.

• 1:45:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, parents, I'm telling you right now to parents, don't have your kids watch this next section. Let me just read this, Rob.

• 1:45:09Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay.

• 1:45:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, it's a clip that you have. Play the clip, Rob. Play the clip. Okay, and then I'll read the news. Watch this.

• 1:45:15Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't have audio?

• 1:45:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, they're just showing the clip of who she is. Okay, so here's a lady.

• 1:45:20Tom Ellsworth?

  They have the message.

• 1:45:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, let me read that. Let me read the message, Rob, okay? Indiana mom of seven accused of, Rob, I can't see the top, offering her seven-month-old daughter for sex to a man on Snapchat in exchange for $400.

• 1:45:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Unbelievable.

• 1:45:34Patrick Bet-David?

  32-year-old Morgan Stapp denied sending the message, but police said it was sent from her phone at her home. Stapp reported, "Sent three photos of her infant daughter with the message. You can, for $400, half now, rest later. I'll send my address. I do live alone, and her dad is not in the picture." Snapchat flagged the message, sent it to the authorities. 10 days later, FBI agents arrived at her home. She was booked into Marion County Jail on July 8th, held for $100,000 bill. What should happen to this person? You're still not believing this, Rob? Can you, while we're doing this, can you? Because I went and looked at Rob to see other people saying, is this a true story? And at the bottom, you find it. You see, look at this. This is People Magazine. Mom of seven arrested, what should happen to somebody like this?

• 1:46:17Speaker 02

  I mean, Pat, the fact that, first of all, I want everybody to-

• 1:46:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Facing 10 to 30 years in prison, if convicted of the level 2 felony.

• 1:46:24Speaker 02

  I want people to understand, like, 7 months old, and this is the part that should really, really bother everybody. Do you think this was the first time she did it? Do you think this was her first time? That she's had somebody come-

• 1:46:36Speaker 12

  I really pray to God.

• 1:46:38Speaker 02

  Well, what I'm saying is-

• 1:46:39Speaker 12

  I know, you're saying it's most likely-

• 1:46:40Speaker 02

  That's God, like, this is when you catch the people, and like, you know how I feel with, with anything that has to do with children, you know, Matthew, I always bring up Matthew, chapter 18, verse 6. It's one of the worst things that God says if you cause any of these young ones to stumble. Besides, go take a millstone around your neck and throw it to the deepest part of the ocean.

• 1:47:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at this right here.

• 1:47:04Speaker 02

  This is horrible.

• 1:47:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Hartman also found 7,000 messages had been sent by October 29th and November 1st. 7,000 in 3 days. Said the affidavit, including 81 that said, "Would you be interested in buying my nudes so I can get baby diapers?" Okay, so now, go back to the public execution, Tom, in Idaho, and what they're going with this. How do you, just look at Tom's face right now, how annoyed he is with the story. Go ahead, Tom, what's on your mind?

• 1:47:31Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, let's break this thing into 2 parts.

• 1:47:36Tom Ellsworth?

  I have no problem with due process and legal precedent being put forth to put on the books the law that says that these types of crimes would be subject to capital punishment. Guess what? The states have states' rights. And so Idaho says, "Okay, we find this crime to be so horrible that we're gonna put it in this category, and it's gonna be a public execution." You know what? I'm in favor of it because I believe there needs to be for certain things, there needs to be a deterrent above deterrence.

• 1:48:17Tom Ellsworth?

  There has to be something that is so deterrent that it is so above that causes people to think twice. We've talked about what happens in the Middle East with when you commit a crime, they cut off a finger or even a hand. If the theft is heavy enough, you take out a hand. So now your brother walks around town with one hand and says, yeah, was that pre-snicker? Is worth it? No, right? We're not joking here. That's the way they do it. But guess what happened to petty theft and things in the Middle East? It goes down because the deterrence is there. I'm fine with going through the process, let the voters put it on there, test it and put it on as law, and I'm fine about it.

• 1:48:59Tom Ellsworth?

  Now, public execution, I think that's a little morbid, but because normally the executions have been, you know, careful, very carefully managed things. Prisoner comes in, he's put on the bed, the doctors come there, they inspect. There's a lot of things we do to do things quickly and humanely. I don't know how a grandstand, you know, for public inspection, I think there's a little morbidity to that and I think kind of there's sometimes the wrong people would be there. But would I want the execution to be available for public review in a certain way? Yes, I would. I have no issue with that.

• 1:49:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Now, this woman, she's doing all this for money. Is she destitute? Is she an addict? What is going on here? Because we have to save the kids from her. And now we have to find a way to get this child, get the child either put up for adoption, put in foster care in a safe, loving, you know, encouraging and learning environment. Because this woman is defective. And by the way, what's lost in here we didn't talk about? Thank you to whatever was going on Snapchat that they actually had a filter in place because a lot of criticisms on social media is like, "Oh, it's not our responsibility, not our thing." Something happened there at Snapchat, so that's a footnote. That's just a footnote.

• 1:50:25Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, the last time we had a public execution in US was August 14th, 1936. In Owensboro, Kentucky was a public hanging. Attended by thousands of spectators. Attended by thousands of spectators. After that event, states rapidly moved executions behind prison walls due to backlash and concerns about spectacle and disorder.

• 1:50:52Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 1:50:52Patrick Bet-David?

  So.

• 1:50:53Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm on that page.

• 1:50:53Speaker 12

  You know what I will say about what you were talking about a deterrent? I think you do, I mean, this is a difficult one because I'm one of those people when it comes to things like this, I'm like, "Anything." I'm okay if the family gets to do whatever they want to the person and like, keep them, like, I have really, you talk about morbid, I'm not, like, I'm okay with virtually anything. Like, my brain just says, "Listen, if that was my kid and someone did something to my kid, or that was someone I loved deeply," and there's no limit.

• 1:51:20Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm in favor of victim witnesses.

• 1:51:22Speaker 12

  Yes.

• 1:51:23Tom Ellsworth?

  But 10,000 people in a spectacle, no.

• 1:51:26Speaker 12

  I'll tell you why. Because shame and the deterrent you're talking about, it needs to almost be seen by everyone. It needs to be, like, this could be you if you're one of these people who's thinking about doing this. And if they see it, it's a lot different than being told, "We'll do this to you." You know, there's the visual imagery of it happening in the, because there is like, there's a certain degree of like, I would imagine shame from just being publicly there and being executed. Someone watching this would be like, "I don't want to have that happen to me." Um, I don't know. I can't say I'm against it.

• 1:51:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam.

• 1:51:58Tom Ellsworth?

  This is a tough one because emotionally, if something happened to you or anyone you know, I'm right there with you, bro.

• 1:52:05Adam Sosnick?

  But I think what Tom's talking about, the eye for eye was called Hammurabi's Code. I think that actually took place in your neck of the woods in Babylon or Babylonia or Syria. But there's a reason that we have the US justice system, the legal system and law and order. And there must be a reason that we haven't had public executions since, what year, 1930 something? 1936. Okay, so it's almost 100 years since we do that. So the emotional side of me is like, string them up, like in the old west. But the legal framework, America, you know, the foundation is probably like, maybe we pump the brakes on this a little bit. Now, in America, I want to say you can fact check this, there's no death penalty.

• 1:52:47Adam Sosnick?

  You talk about public execution, no death penalty for non-death crimes, for non-homicide crimes. So you do these sexual things, horrible, disgusting, there's no death penalty for that according to the US law. You can fact check that. However, if you're not going to do that publicly, let's cut something off publicly. We're not going to kill them publicly, but okay. That's a good alternative. Let's sit them out there in public. Oh, you want to rape little kids? Okay. We can't kill you, but we're going to bring you out in public. Cut his throat. And we're going to chop it up. I'm all right with. We're going to guillotine that thing.

• 1:53:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, let me.

• 1:53:27Adam Sosnick?

  Let's find a middle ground here.

• 1:53:28Patrick Bet-David?

  But so let me show you this one here. David P. Phillips examined 22 highly publicized executions in London, 1858 to 1921, and reported that homicides dropped roughly 35% in the two weeks after each execution.

• 1:53:41Adam Sosnick?

  There you go.

• 1:53:42Patrick Bet-David?

  And another study titled Execution Publicity and Homicide in South Carolina, similarly reported that months with publicized executions had a 17.5% fewer homicides than months without publicized executions. So it is a huge deterrent. And there was a book written by someone that explained one city went extreme, the other city didn't. And the other city that there's a very, this is a very, very heavy debated topic that goes back and forth that some people think grace is necessary. That second chances, third chances, but to me, when you get to this point, something like this.

• 1:54:18Adam Sosnick?

  What did they do in Idaho? They said, was it a three-strike rule?

• 1:54:21Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it had to be three out of the 17. It had to be three out of the 17. If, if it's like you transferred sexually transmitted disease. I think the other one was multiple incidents, use of force, causing injury. There's multiple factors. If you have at least three of the 17, then they're saying that could lead to a public execution if the child is 12 years or younger.

• 1:54:44Adam Sosnick?

  I like that. But by the way, is this three strikes, you're out, or three of 17 the first time?

• 1:54:48Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it could be three of 17. Again, multiple incidents to them considers as one of the 17 factors.

• 1:54:54Tom Ellsworth?

  It's like the test for capital punishment. Was it premeditated? Was it a revenge? Was it lay-in wait? You know, all those things that they do that says if you check the boxes, then it becomes a capital punishment case? That's what they're doing. Yeah, let me, let me.

• 1:55:07Speaker 12

  It's so rare for these offenses to be a one-time thing anyway.

• 1:55:10Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly.

• 1:55:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. And by the way, let me get to this one. By the way, it, you know, I feel like we're on a bunch of stories. Like, I'm gonna get off this. Let me just do this last one here and then we'll move on. Louisiana gunman killed eight children, including seven of his own. Police say in deadliest mass shooting since 2024. Uh, Rob, I think you got, you got a clip on this one here. Go for it. Go ahead.

• 1:55:30Speaker 29

  Confirm the suspect in these eight homicides is Shamar Elkins. Um, he is believed to be the man responsible for this heinous act. I can tell you that seven of the eight children that were killed are believed to be his children. Um, we are still working to determine a complete motive and understanding as to why this happened, but it is domestic in nature. Uh, the mother of the children was also shot and had very serious injuries, although we are hopeful she will recover. There's another female that was in this resident, residents that has life-threatening injuries. Uh, we are hopeful that, that she will pull through.

• 1:56:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. So ages three to 11. Ages three to 11. And a 13-year-old boy was injured after fleeing from a home and jumping from the roof. Bordland told KSLA, he sustained a few broken bones, but is expected to recover. So, Vinnie, your thoughts on this story?

• 1:56:19Speaker 02

  I mean, when I saw it yesterday, I literally was in disbelief because I'm like, there's no, there's no way that this, because I,

• 1:56:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that the picture? Is that the picture?

• 1:56:28Speaker 02

  That's him with his, his, his family. And it's like, listen.

• 1:56:33Speaker 02

  You have a problem with with her and the okay, I understand it, but deal with her. If that's the problem, deal with her. I'm not saying kill her or don't, you know, I don't want people to take that out of context. But you you shoot and kill seven of your own kids and they're your blood buddy. That's not anger. That is complete evil. Those kids didn't do anything. And the one kid is trying to go on the roof. And apparently he was like a cousin or nephew or something and he shot him like they didn't cause your relationship problems. Okay, they didn't ask you to do this entire mess and argue instead of protecting them. You wipe them out. And that's what happens when you have zero control, zero discipline, and zero fear of God. In regard to the the execution and stuff like that, I believe,

• 1:57:17Speaker 02

  I might be wrong, Tom, you can fact check me, Romans, chapter 13, like one of the first verse, chapter, Romans 13, chapter four, I think it says something about, you know, the capital punishment and the letting the authorities deal with stuff. That's horrific crime because a lot of what is it? Government rulers, where they acknowledge if not serve with that purpose, keep in does not bear the sword in vain. Okay. So it's basically saying government authorities are God servants designed for individuals good punishing wrongdoers. I know a lot of people go, well, you're a Christian, you guys are supposed to, but you have to like, there has to be punishment or else, bro, people are going to keep doing it. If that law in Idaho came out, how many of these disgusting, pedophile, perverted, murderous, I mean, this guy obviously had an

• 1:58:01Speaker 02

  once he was done, it was gonna be over. But you have to pump fear into these people or else they're gonna keep doing it. They're gonna keep doing it, bro. And this case, I mean, what happens like, and I tell people this all the time. You and they always do this, Elon, they go, he's out of his mind. No, no, that's when the when Satan, when the devil gets in you, bro, it happens like that. And it's over.

• 1:58:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me, you know, you hear this because in the past, there was a story like this that happened and it was a story of Ronald Gene Simmons, not the Gene Simmons from Kiss, but Ronald Gene Simmons was an American spree killer who committed the deadliest family side is what they call it in US history in December of 1987, over the course of one week in rural Arkansas, he murdered 14 members of his own family. Including seven of his own kids, his wife, grandchildren and in-laws, plus two former coworkers, total sixteen killed. And the aftermath was he was convicted in two separate trials, waived all appeals, and was executed by lethal injection. Three years later in 1990, just sixteen months after his second conviction,

• 1:59:05Patrick Bet-David?

  one of the quickest executions in modern US history. And we haven't had one since 1987. Okay, so, so think about when you get stories like this. You know, when this takes place. Now, let me, let me give the other side of the story. Yeah, that's Ronald Gene Simmons. He looks like somebody that would kill his own family. Uh, if you look at that, right? But on the flip side of it, let me tell you how many heroes are out there as well that we don't recognize enough. And Vinny, I'm gonna come to you with this one.

• 1:59:31Speaker 02

  Yes, sir.

• 1:59:32Patrick Bet-David?

  So, last week, it could have been last week or a week ago.

• 1:59:35Speaker 02

  It was, it was last week.

• 1:59:36Patrick Bet-David?

  It was last week. So, Vinny, matter of fact, I'll just let you tell the story of this, of a great story of Kirk Moore and what happened to him when he showed up to, uh, uh, what do you call it? What did he show up to?

• 1:59:46Speaker 02

  He was, he was, he was in school.

• 1:59:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Prom, he showed up to prom. But, but show the first clip first, Rob. Go to the first one first.

• 1:59:52Speaker 02

  Can I set it up really, really fast, Pat? So, just, and I love that you said that with all the, we always hear bad news, bad news, bad news, fighting, killing. You know, the mother that's doing what she's doing. This is a principal, Kirk Moore, from Paul's Valley High School. He stopped a mass shooting. So, a, a, a twenty-year-old former student named Victor Hawkins, he walks in and he's saying he wanted to shoot up the school like Columbine shooters did. This, this guy, Kirk Moore, ran straight out. Bro, he comes out of nowhere. If you guys look towards the back, he comes out of nowhere, tackles the guy, gets shot in the leg, and saves this guy from, he had two clips to go and shooting everybody. He didn't do what we saw in Uvalde where those uh, security or cops, they all ran, they all hid, they didn't stand on the, stand on the ground.

• 2:00:35Speaker 02

  This guy acted, okay? And I want, I want, I don't know how this was in the top story, but Rob, go ahead and play the clip.

• 2:00:42Speaker 02

  So, this is the shooter coming in. Brother, there's a kid right there on the, on the right or left. He, the gun jams. And then look, principal, boom! Bam! And then right now, he gets shot, he gets shot in the leg.

• 2:00:56Speaker 02

  How, how crazy is that, bro? The other kid's out, stops him, this other guy comes out.

• 2:01:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Takes the gun.

• 2:01:02Speaker 02

  Yup.

• 2:01:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Takes the magazine out.

• 2:01:05Speaker 02

  How crazy is that?

• 2:01:11Speaker 02

  Look at that, dude. The gun's out, the other teacher grabs the gun.

• 2:01:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Call the cops.

• 2:01:16Speaker 02

  Yup, and that's it. How, how, how, it's insane.

• 2:01:20Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, show what happened when he showed up to prom. This is what happened when he showed up to prom.

• 2:01:23Speaker 02

  He showed up to prom and guess what? They crowned him the prom king at the freaking high. Yeah, go play, Rob.

  Kirk Moore.

• 2:03:59Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a fucking...

• 2:04:00Speaker 02

  Look at this guy. Look at this guy.

• 2:04:02Speaker 12

  It's amazing. He deserves a bunch more.

• 2:04:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Good for him. Great story.

• 2:04:06Speaker 12

  He deserves everything.

• 2:04:07Speaker 02

  Yeah. Look at this freaking stud, bro. Dude, look how happy they are. Saved a bunch of them. They don't even... Like, they know it. This guy's a gangster, bro.

• 2:04:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Isn't that great?

• 2:04:21Speaker 12

  I love that.

• 2:04:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Isn't that great? You're getting emotional just watching it like that. This is in you. Go ahead, Elon.

• 2:04:26Speaker 12

  No, it's just such a polar opposite of this is what masculinity should be.

• 2:04:30Speaker 02

  Yes, yup.

• 2:04:31Speaker 12

  This is a protector. This is... And by the way, you watch that video. As someone who has worked with people in like stress responses, training people, all this stuff, you never know how you will react in a high-stress situation. To see someone take action, it's easy to watch it and say, "I would do the same thing." Nine out of 10 people don't.

• 2:04:49Speaker 02

  Yup.

• 2:04:50Speaker 12

  They freeze, they run. Those are the two most common reactions. So for him to go do that, put his life on the line, the guy's a hero. I think people like this should be nationally celebrated. I think...

• 2:04:59Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, if anybody's watching this, if you're from that area, or if you know the family, or if you know anything about Kirk Moore, what he's like, what he's interested in, what his passions are, can you manect me? Let's find a way collectively, you and I, to do something special for him and his family.

• 2:05:13Speaker 02

  Oh, that's awesome, Pat.

• 2:05:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you do that? Let's do something very, very, very special for him and turn him into a hero. Where's he based out of?

• 2:05:21Speaker 12

  I love this.

• 2:05:22Speaker 02

  Oklahoma.

• 2:05:23Speaker 12

  Kirk Moore High School, Valley of...

• 2:05:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Oklahoma City?

• 2:05:25Speaker 12

  Oklahoma.

• 2:05:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Beautiful. If you know anything, manect me. I want to do something special for this man.

• 2:05:30Speaker 02

  That's awesome.

• 2:05:31Patrick Bet-David?

  We need to recognize heroes like this. Tom?

• 2:05:33Tom Ellsworth?

  This is, this is exactly, you know, we're celebrating this, we're celebrating him and we should, but it's just, it's just sad and it worries me. I mean, Kim is a teacher at a really good school, but I worry about stuff like this. It only takes one, one person to kinda, to flip the bit. And, but I am, I celebrate this guy. I thank you for all the training and everything that law enforcement does to schools now. We have so much, we have so many ways to, to protect our schools and more techniques and more devices that are on doors and procedures. But really what it gets back to, man, we need big brothers

• 2:06:15Tom Ellsworth?

  and big sisters and we need Sunday School that brings faith to these people so that we can catch it early. Yeah. So that they can be valuable members of society. All the protections and everything that I'm praising protects, but go upstream. We gotta go all the way upstream as I'm very fond of saying when I talk about, don't build a $1 trillion filter in the pond. Go upstream and find out what's, what's getting into the pond. Yeah. And stop that. And it's, and let me tell you folks, it's faith. And it's, and it's being willing to reach out your community and to be a big, a big brother, or a big sister, or to help a single mom. And it, that, we need that spirit of community back

• 2:07:00Tom Ellsworth?

  in the US to, to reach out and help. Because you're gonna, you're gonna prevent this and not even know it. Yeah, you'll never know the person you stopped from doing the terrible.

• 2:07:08Speaker 02

  And tell me, and you make, I love that you, you took it there. We spend billion, besides all the fraud, we spend billions of dollars protecting other countries, yet our schools and our children aren't safe. Every, seems like every month there's a mass shooting. And the fact that heroism is the last line of defense tells you that there's something wrong with the people in charge and their priorities are not straight, bro. These are the most vulnerable, we just heard how many stories about these children, and they're the most not looked after, like neglected. It's like, bro, if we could spend billions everywhere, put a freaking cop, put a metal detector in the

• 2:07:43Patrick Bet-David?

  That kid just strolled in Pat, if that gun was active, okay, and he walked into a classroom, it's a whole different story that we're hearing. Kirk Moore, God bless his soul, it's a whole different situation because he's shooting, shooting, shooting, clip, and then it's you.

• 2:07:56Speaker 12

  There is some, there's something weird going on in society. I saw a video, I opened Instagram, and this is what I'm exposed to. I see a kid playing in a schoolyard, he gets in a fight with some other kids. It's like a basketball court. And the kids start punching him in the face. He's 15 years old. And then one hits him in the face as he's trying to go away. The other one pulls out a firearm, shoots him in the chest, kills him. And this is on Instagram, and I'm exposed to something, I'm a 44-year-old man exposed to. There's young kids seeing this. The amount of nihilism and dehumanization that's taking place online is very scary. And you talk about going upstream, I think it all leads to nihilism. It leads to, sorry, go ahead.

• 2:08:30Adam Sosnick?

  Great point. And you remember the whole conversation that we had, if it bleeds, it leads?

• 2:08:34Speaker 12

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:08:34Adam Sosnick?

  That was on the general news. But there was a, a corridor where the producer said, listen, we can't go that far. Now with the dissemination of social media, anything can be put out there.

• 2:08:46Speaker 12

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:08:47Adam Sosnick?

  And there's no, uh, selectivity to what you see out there. Look, and I'll continue to, to harp on this. The only way America could lose in the global stage is if we're divisive. And if we're dividing each other, we have internal decay. So the whole, if it bleeds, it leads, there's two stories that we just covered. One, this heroic teacher that's saving lives. The other one, I learned a new word, family side.

• 2:09:10Speaker 12

  Yeah.

• 2:09:10Adam Sosnick?

  Not a homicide, not a suicide. You're taking out your own family, bro?

• 2:09:15Speaker 12

  Jeez.

• 2:09:15Adam Sosnick?

  So I know we're, we're talking about-

• 2:09:16Patrick Bet-David?

  We shouldn't know that that-

• 2:09:18Adam Sosnick?

  We shouldn't know that word?

• 2:09:19Speaker 12

  That word should not exist.

• 2:09:20Adam Sosnick?

  That should, it should not exist. We talk about have more kids, have more kids, have more kids. This guy had a lot of kids. So what, what happens when you're bringing all these kids in this world? And then you can take them out. Like my mom used to say, you know, I brought you in this world. I'll take you out of it. I never took that literally.

• 2:09:35Speaker 12

  Yeah.

• 2:09:36Adam Sosnick?

  But it's so sad.

• 2:09:37Patrick Bet-David?

  He was pretty serious.

• 2:09:37Adam Sosnick?

  I know, I know. I love you, mom. I know, but it, it just shows, there's so many good stories we could focus on. Let's stop focusing on the bad and what bleeds.

• 2:09:47Patrick Bet-David?

  You got, you got, that's, that's the thing about this, this world though, you know, you got, you gotta talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly. But we want to make sure, again, if you know Kirk Moore and stuff about him, reach out to me. I want to do something very, very, very special for this man. I want to do something very special for this man and, uh- Recognize him. That involves the students, that involves the school, that involves the kids there. I want to do something really special for him. Alright, let's go to the next story here. This story went viral all over X. Here's a story from Al Jazeera. Outrage after photo shows Israeli soldier smashing Jesus statue in Lebanon. If you pull this up, a viral photo showing a soldier in Lebanon with a sledgehammer has sparked outrage. In a statement on Monday,

• 2:10:28Patrick Bet-David?

  the IDF confirmed the authenticity of the image. So it's not like they're like, no, this is not real. They came out, their Twitter account came out and said this was real. And an image that was widely shared online, 5 million views on one of the accounts that said that the following, "An initial review was determined that the photograph showed an Israeli soldier operating in southern Lebanon where Israeli last month launched a ground invasion in conjunction with aerial bombardment amid its joint war with the US." The military added, "An investigation had been opened that appropriate measures will be taken against those involved in accordance with the findings." Commenting on social media, Ayman Ode, a Palestinian member of the Israeli parliament, wrote pointedly, "We'll wait to

• 2:11:11Patrick Bet-David?

  hear the police spokesman claim that the soldier felt threatened by Jesus." Ahmed Taibbi, another Palestinian member, Knesset, commented as well, "Perhaps these racists have also learned that Donald Trump soldiers, both he asked, referred to US presidents, concerns controversy, including Dana..." So this is the clip that we're talking about right here. That's the soldier to the right. And IDF, can you go to the IDF tweet? Rob, I think you just had it a minute ago. If you don't...

• 2:11:36Speaker 02

  That's not it, Rob.

• 2:11:38Patrick Bet-David?

  That's not it. Yeah, there was one out there that's confirming that this took place.

• 2:11:42Speaker 02

  And Benjamin Netanyahu said something today, too. Yeah, he said it's tragic. Yeah.

• 2:11:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Go a little bit lower, 4 hours. You're gonna have to go a lot more because they're tweeting a lot. Go a little bit lower, faster, Rob. Okay, they're right there, right there, right there, right there. Okay, so IDF, following the completion of an initial examination of the IDF soldier Christian symbol, "It was determined that the photograph depicts an IDF soldier operating in southern Lebanon. The IDF refused to incident the great severity and emphasized that the soldier's conduct is wholly inconsistent with the values expected of its troop. The incident is being investigated by Northern Command and is currently being addressed through the chain of command. Appropriate measures will be taken against those involved in accordance with the findings. Furthermore, the IDF is working to assist the community in restoring the statue in its place. The IDF is operating to dismantle..." Terrorist infrastructure established by Hezbollah on southern Lebanon has no intention of harming civilian civilian infrastructure, including religious buildings or religious

• 2:12:32Patrick Bet-David?

  symbols. Uh, Vinnie.

• 2:12:33Speaker 02

  I mean, I mean horrible, horrible, horrible look. And by the way, this happened in the village called Debel, uh, near the Israeli border, uh, in the Bin Jabeel district, which is one of the oldest, just FYI, I know where it's located in Lebanon, but the oldest Christian populations on earth, it belonged to a Catholic church and the, the actual people of that neighborhood posted the photo of the statue when it was standing still and they quoted a scripture from Gospel of Luke 2334. And they said in that, in Arabic, it says, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Now I want to say this, obviously this doesn't reflect, I know what people are gonna do. Oh, all the soldiers, this doesn't reflect

• 2:13:17Speaker 02

  all the soldiers, it doesn't respect all of, uh, Israel and how they feel. But this isn't an isolated incident. In 2024, the IDF destroyed the church of Dergaya that killed eight people. There was another incident, 2024, yeah, that's the church. And then Rob, can you show me the bulldoze one? I, I, I think that's the church, killed eight people. Okay. In 2024, the IDF, um, uh, in a town near Yarun, where a St. George statue was reportedly bulldozed during operations in that same region. Uh, I think I sent it to you, Rob. But by the way, and just FYI, Pat, just for people to know, this is, can you show that video on the top? Yeah, that's the bulldoze. That's them bulldozing, uh, St. George, which by the way, if you guys know St. George, he stands for faith and love and all that stuff.

• 2:14:02Speaker 02

  And then just go back, Rob, just really, really quick, show that. Guys, this is, this is, this isn't Gaza. This is southern Lebanon. And I understand the argument, there's Hezbollah there, but this is complete annihilation. And let's just get to the point, okay? Israel is in, is in Lebanon for what? For what? Destroying who? Hezbollah, okay? That's the mission. That's the threat. You've already seized almost 20% of the land for the buffer zone. What are you smashing a statue of Jesus? Okay? Has nothing to do with the mission. I know the soldier, again, does not represent all of Israel, but that's disgusting. I'm curious why they hate you towards Christians? Okay? Has... I'm just curious. With Islam, with Islam, I could see that there's a clear reason.

• 2:14:47Speaker 02

  It's Islam, okay? I get it, they hate them. But with Christians, where's the justification? What were you gonna say?

• 2:14:52Speaker 12

  Number, I just think that like the history of Lebanon is very important to discuss it. What used to be a majority Christian nation.

• 2:14:58Speaker 02

  A lot of them were.

• 2:14:59Speaker 12

  Yeah, well, Lebanon used to be the Paris of the Middle East. It was a beautiful place. And when the PLO came in after Black September, it destabilized it, caused a civil war, many of the Christians left. And then you have the rise of Hezbollah, which is essentially an Iranian proxy. And there's just, this is the sad reality of you're taking 18 to 21-year-old guys, you're putting them in a war zone, and you see stupid behavior like this, and worse. You know, sadly, in any army, any war zone. What I care about is accountability. Israel has to take swift, strict action against this. They already have a bad image problem, and there's already a lot of people trying to push division between Christians and Jews. And I think it's just, it's an unnecessary division. When I look at Southern Lebanon, you're talking about Hezbollah, why are they doing this?

• 2:15:43Speaker 12

  There's been Christian leaders in Southern Lebanon who've come out and said Hezbollah is embedding itself in our villages, in our homes. And that's more, I mean, this is a terrible, terrible look, and disgusting, and bothers me. And like I said, one thing I will say is everywhere online that I saw Israelis and Jews, they were speaking out against it and saying, "I condemn this act, I condemn this act." That's what I care about, the accountability. But again, I would also like to see accountability for the suffering of the Christians in Southern Lebanon because of Hezbollah, because of the actions that have taken over the years. I want to see a resolution to this. The longer wars go on, the longer the civilians will suffer, the longer we'll see people do stupid things like this that are just absolutely disgusting and indefensible. And so I don't think there's an intentional targeting of Christians.

• 2:16:27Speaker 12

  I think that there's an idiotic group of young 18 to 21-year-old guys who are in the IDF. You have a population there that's under extreme stress, and it comes, and some of them do hate Christians, obviously. If you do something like this, you're just an idiot. But I don't think it's reflected by the majority.

• 2:16:42Speaker 02

  Adam?

• 2:16:44Adam Sosnick?

  I don't think many Jews would would agree with anything this guy just did. I don't think any normal person would agree with this guy just did. I think it's you should condemn this and I think any taking down any religious symbol and making a mockery of it, I'm not a fan of. So with that being said, you know, we just talked about good news and bad news. I can give you countless stories of Christians who are saved, Druze.

• 2:17:06Speaker 12

  Yeah.

• 2:17:06Adam Sosnick?

  Who are saved by the IDF. I'll give you one story. I'll give a shout out to my friend Rudy Rockman, who served in the IDF. He would be in Gaza, he would find Qurans that were, you know, victims of what's going on there. He would take the Quran and bring it and bring a pile and save them because he respected religious artifacts. That's the same person in the same conflict doing different things.

• 2:17:31Speaker 12

  Yeah.

• 2:17:31Adam Sosnick?

  So if we're gonna label anybody, anything, let's label this one person, an idiot. But while we're processing labeling, the selective outrage and the selective hypocrisy, I mean, stop it. Okay, so you've seen a video of like a religious orthodox guy spitting on someone or someone, what this guy did smashing.

• 2:17:51Speaker 12

  The whole.

• 2:17:52Adam Sosnick?

  A symbol of Jesus. Okay, the Christian people are the most persecuted people on earth. They're killed, they're kidnapped, their churches are bombed. By who? Say the name. Islamic terrorists. Let's focus on that. What happens when you convert from Islam to Christianity? In any Islamic country, ah, death sentence. I've been to Israel, I've seen Christians in Israel, in Jerusalem, preaching about Jesus. I said, hey, nice to meet you.

• 2:18:22Speaker 12

  Protected.

• 2:18:22Adam Sosnick?

  Protected. You can go through countries in the Middle East, Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Pakistan, Nigeria, Nigerian Christians. So let's chill with the selective outrage. How dare you smash a photo? Horrible. But you have to realize.

• 2:18:38Speaker 12

  No, but there is a double standard. Look, there is an openly double, but you have to accept that there's a double standard.

• 2:18:45Adam Sosnick?

  Well, what's the double standard?

• 2:18:46Speaker 12

  Well, that, that obviously when a IDF soldier or Jude does something, you, you like, I've seen a million people online look at Epstein and say, all Jews are like this. You see that with any time a Jude does something, it's held to the standard of all Jews, even though there's 15 million in the world, the Orthodox Jews spitting on the Christians. I cannot tell you how many times I explained to people, those were a sect of 200 religious Jews in Israel, they were arrested by the Israeli authorities, and this is an isolated incident. But it doesn't matter, you have to accept that you are held to a higher standard and do something about it. Live to the higher standard. Don't use that as an excuse to say, well, this happened. So I'm, I'm in agreement with you, there is a double standard, but it's such a bad look and the world will take advantage, the worst players of this type of thing.

• 2:19:26Speaker 02

  But can I say one thing though? I don't, I completely disagree with selective outrage. It's something that we were seeing, people were denying it, we're seeing it, it's not an isolated incident, because I can go back and show you, and those same people in Lebanon, I saw that's a lot of them were saying, no, no, this place, and these are, these are medical people trying to help that aren't Hezbollah, they're saying, no, Hezbollah is not here, we're telling you we're not here. And that statue, if Hezbollah is everywhere, why was it still standing while Hezbollah was there and apparently all overrun by terrorists? But then the IDF comes in and they have a problem with the statue of Jesus Christ. I'm not selective, this is a story, it's bothering me, you're bulldozing statues of St. George, you're blowing up churches, and I'm not saying it's an excuse, but what's to stop

• 2:20:11Speaker 02

  an army from saying, hey, we're gonna bomb there and bomb there and bomb churches because we say, and you have to believe our intelligence, that there's terrorists there. If you think about it, Elon, and that, hold on, that mindset, that attitude, tell me how you can tell that person to stop?

• 2:20:29Adam Sosnick?

  What bothers you more? This or?

• 2:20:35Adam Sosnick?

  Thousands of Christians being killed in Nigeria.

• 2:20:37Speaker 12

  No, but Vinny, can I, can I just say, Vinny, can I just say, shut up.

• 2:20:39Speaker 02

  Each has his own thing that bothers you.

• 2:20:40Speaker 12

  I agree with you.

• 2:20:41Adam Sosnick?

  No, no, no, let me, I, I want to.

• 2:20:42Speaker 02

  Obviously, Adam, you're not gonna get me in a gotcha moment. Of course it's thousands of people getting killed. This isn't a gotcha. You can't address this story? This is a messed up story and somebody else is reporting it.

• 2:20:52Adam Sosnick?

  But you're treating it the same. You're treating thousands of people being murdered with the same selective outrage.

• 2:20:57Speaker 02

  You're telling me how I.

• 2:20:58Adam Sosnick?

  Of one idiot smashing a statue.

• 2:21:01Speaker 02

  Are you telling me how I feel?

• 2:21:02Adam Sosnick?

  So, here's what I, here's what I want to say. I want to say you have to look at, at the larger picture of what the intention of the nation is.

• 2:21:10Speaker 12

  So in Israel, 20% of the country is not Jewish. They have the only growing Christian population in the entire Middle East. It's a small population, but it's the only growing Christian population in the entire Middle East. Anyone can go research this. It's the only country in the Middle East that has equal rights for Christians and protections for Christians across the board. They can even proselytize as much as people say they can't. That's a myth. You can't go undercover into schools, pretend to be a Jew and proselytize to children secretly. That was, but that was protected for any religion.

• 2:21:39Adam Sosnick?

  There's proselytizing prohibitions in, for a thousand miles around Israel, but not in Israel.

• 2:21:44Speaker 12

  Not in Israel. Exactly. And, and so there, when, when Adam's talking about selective outrage, there's a reality that you're looking at the one country in the Middle East with a growing Christian population that has ma- major protections within its country for Christians. And you're saying, look at what they did here. It's terrible, it's terrible, it's terrible, it's terrible. And objectively gets more views, more attention and more anything than the massacre of Christians in Nigeria, than the massacre. There's so, bombs in churches in Syria where people were inside praying, suicide bombers went in. Nobody talked about it.

• 2:22:13Adam Sosnick?

  Zero story.

• 2:22:14Speaker 12

  There is a certain reality to the double standard we talked about. That does not mean that you should not be pissed off about this.

• 2:22:20Speaker 02

  Of course.

• 2:22:21Speaker 12

  You are 100% right for being pissed off about this. But also understand that this is something that the leader of the country immediately came out and condemned and said he is saddened by.

• 2:22:30Speaker 02

  Which is good.

• 2:22:31Speaker 12

  Has value. And it, so fix, we should fix the problems, hold Israel accountable.

• 2:22:36Adam Sosnick?

  I got two more stories to get to.

• 2:22:37Speaker 12

  Sorry, okay, I'll stop, Tom.

• 2:22:38Patrick Bet-David?

  So, Tom, were you gonna say anything or no?

• 2:22:40Adam Sosnick?

  No. Did you see the picture that was on Lebanese TV? Just to give a little optimism bright side. Have Robbie could play this. This is the first time on Lebanese TV. Recently

• 2:22:51Patrick Bet-David?

  My TV died, so I can't say anything.

• 2:22:52Adam Sosnick?

  Well Glenn Black was talking about this, where a Lebanese official TV showed the star of David, the Israeli flag, and said, "The people of Lebanon and the people of Israel, we want peace." Okay, so let's understand Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that has hijacked Lebanon, and the 80% just like in Iran, want Hezbollah out of there.

• 2:23:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's the reality.

• 2:23:14Adam Sosnick?

  That's what's going on.

• 2:23:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's the reality of it. If in your core, you have something against Israel, your behavior on what you share will reveal who you are. If in your core, you have an issue with Catholics, it's gonna reveal itself. If in your core, you have something against Christians, it's gonna reveal itself. And social media right now is gonna use this to divide you. Muslims are celebrating with something like this. Celebrating, because what is it doing? More division, more division, more division, more division. They're salivating for stories like this and want more of it. And if your automatic reaction is, "This level, then Christians getting killed in Nigeria

• 2:23:56Patrick Bet-David?

  is this level," then you've been manipulated, you've been brainwashed, you're part of the camp that's been vying, that's on you, you know? If the reaction here is not this, and oh my god, look at this, on any story, on any story that you have, like even today, when we're going through the stories we're showing with Trump and Pop Lio, okay, and then Humberto, the only data Humberto only sends me is always one-sided, so I know where Humberto's stuff will come from. So he sends me, "But look at this, but look at this." But guess what? One of the ones he sent was right. Let me show it to you.

• 2:24:26Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:24:27Patrick Bet-David?

  This is where America's against it, right? The problem is when people are not able to see both. Like if you're selective searching and selective looking for everything, you're gonna find plenty of stats to use to validate your animosity towards the community. I'm moving on. Uh, two other stories I wanna do before we wrap up, let me see what time I got, 11:24. This one has to be very short, and I'm only going to one of you guys, maybe two of you on this one here. Vinny, uh, maybe, you know, one of the most important stories, you know this, okay? On, uh, April 8th, the New York Mets...

• 2:25:02Patrick Bet-David?

  On April 9th, the New York Mets had the mayor of New York City, Mamdani, visit and hug the mascot. And video went viral. I saw the video. On the bottom of it, I typed in, "Go Yankees." Okay, I wanted to make sure everybody knows this.

• 2:25:18Speaker 02

  You might have been a part of it.

• 2:25:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you know, from the 9th till today, Mets had lost a game on the 8th, but from the 9th till today, they have lost 10 consecutive games. It's now 11 if you can count the 8th. My only request to the mayor of the Mets is, for every single week, please pay a visit to the Mets just once. If you can continue doing this, it'll be a beautiful thing. On behalf of the Yankees fans, we want to thank Mayor Mamdani for visiting the Mets games and the mascots. Vinny, I think you wanted to say a couple of words about this as well.

• 2:25:51Speaker 02

  Do you guys remember, Tom, the curse of the bambino in 1919 where the Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees and that move flipped everything. The Yankees turned into, you know, what the Yankees turned into. How many championships, Pat, do we have? 27?

• 2:26:07Patrick Bet-David?

  27.

• 2:26:08Speaker 02

  27.

• 2:26:09Patrick Bet-David?

  But not one since 09.

• 2:26:11Speaker 02

  I don't want to even talk about that because I've been, it's been depressing. But, and then Mamdani shows up and it's like, "Bro, you can't, it's almost like the, what is the, is it the Drake, Adam? Drake's curse? Or whoever Drake bets on, or big names, or Super Bowls, or everything. It always goes the opposite way. But, I mean, listen, the proof is in the pudding. He showed up. If I have to recommend, not recommend, if I have to do a predictive thing, I think it's going to go to 15, 15-game losing streaks, maybe even more because the guy is just, literally, everything he touches is going to go to trash. And you guys are going to see the first thing.

• 2:26:44Adam Sosnick?

  Well, I think what you're saying is anything socialism touches turns to trash.

• 2:26:48Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 2:26:49Adam Sosnick?

  And he has socialism and Islamism in New York City.

• 2:26:51Patrick Bet-David?

  But he looks like a guy that would be a Mets fan.

• 2:26:54Speaker 02

  100%.

• 2:26:55Patrick Bet-David?

  He looks like a Mets fan more than a Yankees fan.

• 2:26:56Speaker 02

  1000%.

• 2:26:57Patrick Bet-David?

  He just gives me the vibe.

• 2:26:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, he gives the vibe. Yeah.

• 2:26:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:26:59Adam Sosnick?

  He looks like the guy that doesn't know the first thing about sport.

• 2:27:01Speaker 02

  Well, he has a ring here. I don't trust anybody, a dude that has a ring on your index finger. You can't trust that.

• 2:27:07Adam Sosnick?

  But the good news is he was hanging out with Obama recently.

• 2:27:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:27:10Adam Sosnick?

  And I'm sure that's going to turn out well. Do you have that picture?

• 2:27:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me give a, let me give a shout out to this one place this weekend that I went to, and I'm texting Jen. Let me just call her real quick. We went to this, have I taken you to this place with, by the way, the service here is fantastic. You guys noticing how amazing? I love it.

• 2:27:29Adam Sosnick?

  You're calling Jen in the middle of the bar?

• 2:27:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so we went to this one, uh, deli down the street, somewhere here, and I want to give a shout out to the- Shout out to deli? With a P. Starts with a P. Deli? Yeah, uh, um, it's a deli locally here. We went to, I wish I- Is it Pumperdale? That's the one. Pumperdale?

• 2:27:48Speaker 02

  I've eaten there. It is good, they have-

• 2:27:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Bob, yeah? Is the place named Pumperdale, babe? I'm going, New York famous deli.

• 2:27:54Speaker 02

  I'll go with you, Vinny.

• 2:27:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, that looks good. So we went to Pumperdale, and let me tell you, babe, the owner's name was Rick, right? Am I saying it correctly? Rick. So, okay, thanks, babe. All right, bye. So we went there and I had this one, uh, it's called a New Yorker. Roast beef. I'm not even a roast beef guy. And they had this dressing, and they had this mustard, what I think the da- one of the daughter's faces on the mustard? I'm going. I put this mustard on there. By the way, they didn't sponsor this message. This is just, uh, flat out, uh, I went and ate this roast beef and I took a bite out of it. I'm not even kidding with you. Even when my torn ACL, I ran a 430-40.

• 2:28:35Patrick Bet-David?

  It was like, it was like, I became He-Man, all of a sudden. I felt like I was, I was a whole different human being, but guess what? Yeah. Big Yankees guy, 1967 or 1969, he went to his first Yankees game, and guess who hit a foul ball to him? Guess who, Tom? Guess who hit a- Mickey Mantle? Mickey Mantle hit a foul ball. Forget about it. And he's got the ball too today. I said, who's your second favorite Yankee of all time? He says, you know, Mattingly's got the- Oh, Don. Guy came in, did a trade for Mattingly with, uh, Merrill Monroe, but anyways. Keep Mumdani away from that deli. Something about New York Yankees, man. I don't know what to tell you, even though- The pinstripes. Even though the Dodgers are looking very, very good this year. Yeah. Uh, very, very good. How's your boy Juan Soto doing?

• 2:29:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, well, he's at the Mets. That's what I'm saying, how's he doing?

• 2:29:23Speaker 02

  Obviously not good.

• 2:29:24Patrick Bet-David?

  11-game win streak. But let me tell you, he was pretty fun to watch in the, uh, in the World Series, uh, what do you call it? In Venezuela.

• 2:29:30Speaker 02

  The national game.

• 2:29:31Adam Sosnick?

  Dominican Republic.

• 2:29:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Dominican Republic.

• 2:29:34Adam Sosnick?

  But anyways.

• 2:29:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Venezuela wins. Go Yankees, to all the Yankees out there doing your thing. Man, we got a couple wins here that we got like three or four win streak, which is exciting. And Maldonado, keep showing up to the Mets, you're amazing. And on top of that, for hotcakes and hot takes, we have a special episode that's about to go out right now. Vinny, who is it?

• 2:29:50Speaker 02

  It was unbelievable how quickly it went. Take care, everybody. We got a special podcast we'll do today. Maybe it'll go out tomorrow. It's probably one of the most exciting guys on social media today that likes to fight. But anyways, I'll tell you about it afterwards. God bless everybody. Take care. Bye bye, bye bye.
