  All right, so it's great to be with you guys here. Episode 549, we just got back from Brazil and one of our favorite people in the world is on the podcast today. He's kind of a big deal, very famous. He said he wanted to make sure we knew about this when we came here. He's fantastic to be around, on camera, off camera. Brian Callen, it's great to have you back.

• 1:45Speaker 03

  It's good to be here, my brother. My home away from home.

• 1:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Every time he comes, it gets a little bit more suited. This is a suit for him. He's got a three piece suit on. For him, that's a three piece suit.

• 1:53Speaker 03

  It is.

• 1:54Patrick Bet-David?

  By the next, I think, seven podcasts from now, he may have like a nice.

• 1:59Speaker 03

  I want to wear a vest. I want the whole thing, bro. Every time I see you, a little part of me dies. I gotta start dressing better. I need bespoke shoes with a patina sheen. And I want my suits tailored to my body.

• 2:14Patrick Bet-David?

  We're gonna introduce you to this company called Stefano Ritchie and then we'll get you suited.

• 2:19Speaker 03

  Just to be able to say. This is Stefano Ritchie.

• 2:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:22Speaker 03

  And I'll say Stefano.

• 2:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Stefano.

• 2:24Speaker 03

  This is Stefano Ritchie, why? What's the problem?

• 2:26Tom Ellsworth?

  You need to see Julian. Yeah, for sure, no question.

• 2:29Speaker 03

  Technically, I've been corrected.

• 2:29Tom Ellsworth?

  Julian Stefano guy, man.

• 2:31Patrick Bet-David?

  We got a lot of stuff to cover here today. Um, we just found out a few minutes ago, Tom wasn't following Rob. That's why there was a big fight in the morning and I made sure that got verified right now. So it's scored away. But for those of you guys that have been waiting for two hours, we accidentally posted this Brazilian time 9:00 AM, which is 7:00 AM here. So for those of you that have been waiting for two hours, we appreciate you and thank you for understanding. We put Brazilian time, but we're in the States. Okay. A lot going on, a lot of things to talk about, a lot of things to talk about. Uh, I feel like we haven't done a podcast for a week. I don't think we've done a podcast for a week. So it's been literally a week, a lot of stories to cover. The social security voters, apparently there's 130 year olds voting and there's millions of them. And even President Trump's reading and saying, what the hell is this all about?

• 3:15Patrick Bet-David?

  And people are kind of looking at it going back and forth. Canada plays US while they're playing the national anthem, they're booing us. You know what's happening tonight? Tonight's the rematch of them in the city of Boston. Vinny just told me right now. That game of them talking shit is happening tonight in Boston. Oh my God. I want to see what happens here. These guys are gonna need Secret Service to leave. They're gonna need protection when they leave that place talking shit to Americans.

• 3:43Speaker 03

  Very aggressive.

• 3:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Anyways, but you know what, you know what would be the solution? President made it very easy for them to be a solution. If they became the 51st state, we would actually cheer for them.

• 3:50Tom Ellsworth?

  Of course.

• 3:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Honestly, if Canada was 51st, would we not cheer for them?

• 3:54Tom Ellsworth?

  A thousand percent.

• 3:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Thousand percent we'd cheer for them. We'd cheer for them.

• 3:57Tom Ellsworth?

  They can start hockey games faster with only one anthem.

• 4:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, a few other stories. Trump calls for Ukraine to hold elections, potentially replace Zelensky as he takes swipe at president's approval rating, calls him an okay comedian. And he wants, I mean, the way he's pushing him right now, calling him a semi dictator, we'll watch the video. Uh, Trump demands 50% share of Ukraine's revenue from critical minerals, oil and gas. Um. And infrastructure based on the money that we've given them. And then up like a rocket CNN's Harry Enton sends large chunks of Americans think US has been very generous to Ukraine. People are no longer supportive of that. We'll address that. Tom has got a lot to say about that.

• 4:38Patrick Bet-David?

  President's Brazil's former president Bolsonaro charged over a alleged coup that included a plan to poison Lula. By the way, we're in his office. We're doing the interview. We've now been with him for four hours. An hour we spoke with him, three hours was the interview. It's in the last 15 minutes. Guy walks in, Senate walks in, everyone's being texted. He's gotta leave. Like, what's going on here? We finish up the interview. Bolsonaro, he gets upset. He's like, let me finish my interview. He stays an additional 10, 15 minutes than he was supposed to. And then he leaves. We're in the car and we get a report. And that says he is being charged for how many years? 38 years. 38 years because of this.

• 5:22Patrick Bet-David?

  The entire experience of Brazil, I'll talk about a little bit here, was very, very interesting, but we'll talk about that. Doge discovers millions of instances of social security fraud. Head of social security resigns after clash with Elon Musk. The real reason Elon Musk's new baby mama chose to go public. What an interesting story. Baby mama drama.

• 5:43Speaker 03

  13th kid, 13th.

• 5:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Allegedly because he just unfollowed. I don't know what happened there. Something's going on there because he hasn't said it's his.

• 5:52Speaker 03

  Yeah, but maybe just because you unfollowed doesn't mean the baby goes away.

• 5:55Patrick Bet-David?

  But, but, but the point is. It could be somebody else's. I mean, there's. But what I'm saying to you is if he is not saying anything about it.

• 6:03Speaker 03

  Right.

• 6:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Because he's pro, he wants as many kids as, oh, that's weird.

• 6:08Speaker 03

  He wants smart people to breed.

• 6:09Patrick Bet-David?

  And, and she's an influencer. She's an influencer on the conservative right. So who knows? Who knows what's going on there? All right, next. Trump, Fort Knox. He says, we want to go to Fort Knox to see if the goal is even there. Who knows? Maybe the goal's not there. We're gonna go see if the goal is there. He kept saying that. Maybe he knows something the rest of us do not know. Stephen A. Smith reveals why he may run for president. And Stephen A., I have a message for you, man. My brother, I love you. We've been talking. But I got a message for you. I'm sure you'll see this. German prosecutor tells 60 Minutes it's a crime in Germany to insult people online as government raids offenders' homes. We have to show you this video. You have to just see it for yourself. Milley had a moment with crypto. And he sold, I think, a coin. Rob, is it true that he sold one of his coins and then it

• 6:51Patrick Bet-David?

  lost 90%? People who bought the coin lost 90% immediately. He's got some challenges with that. We'll talk about that. I know Vinnie's read up on that a lot. Trump's White House, Trump's White House escalates feud with AP, threatens bar, uh, to bar reporters from Air Force One, simply because they don't want to say it's the Gulf of America. All you have to do is say that. White House says Elon Musk is not part of Doge. Uh, Doge says it has saved the government 55 billion dollars so far. And even Trump wants to give a portion of that savings to taxpayers. 20% of it, he wants to claim. Forbes had $5,000, uh, some articles saying some numbers. Former MSNBC star Mehdi Hassan calls for more planes

• 7:31Patrick Bet-David?

  to crash. Let me, let me, let me say that one more time. Mehdi Hassan, former MSNBC star, calls for more planes to crash. What is he talking about? We'll, we'll address that.

• 7:44Speaker 05

  He's anti-American is what he is.

• 7:46Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, that is just, that is just, how much gold reserves does US have? We'll address that. Today's inflation report is especially important. Tom's gonna give us an update on that.

Uh, uh, uh, Trump's move to end congesting pricing and attack on our sovereign identity. She comes out strong against Trump. That doesn't mean anything. Lavar Ball, I'm on the flight yesterday. We land, I'm like, what is this picture with Lavar Ball amputated? Is that really?

  I didn't even know that.

• 8:26Speaker 05

  Whoa. Yeah.

• 9:01Speaker 05

  Oh my God, that's safe.

• 9:02Patrick Bet-David?

  I want a breakfast bagel at 10:05. Thank you, Kelly, for grabbing it. But some, some bad news, Vinnie. OnlyFans model Lily Phillips announced pregnancy after having sex with 100 men in a day.

• 9:12Speaker 05

• 9:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Okay. I mean, she increased her chances when you go with 100. Something's gonna happen. You gotta use protection. I know the guy. He was number 64. What a guy, what a guy. Imagine you're the son. Who's my dad? It's gonna be a long one. One of these 100 sons.

• 9:33Speaker 05

  It's like in the movie Life when they put the baby.

• 9:34Patrick Bet-David?

  And then last but not least, folks, this one here for some of you guys that are, you know, reading the book of the power of positive thinking. Odds of asteroid hitting Earth, this is the YR4, in 2032, went from 0.8% to 3.2%, okay? So I'm just telling you guys, whatever you're doing, drop a prayer, the odds went up. That's 4X if you think about it. It's legit. Like, something's going on there. And, uh, we'll, we'll, we may do an underground podcast. Yeah, I was gonna say. Bunker, a little bit of bunker. Of all the things you have to worry about.

• 10:08Speaker 05

  Yeah, but dude, if an asteroid hits, there's no bunker, no safe. I mean, Elon needs to step up right now. You're doing everything in space? Get that thing handled now. Shoot something at it now.

• 10:16Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right.

We're launching circles. You're gonna lose your mind when you hear what we're gonna be doing with Manect here on that launch. Having said that, let's get right into it. Rob, can you please pull up the clip of social security voters? So here's the president, okay? He's up here, you know, giving a speech, he's talking, I don't know if this is the one, Rob. There's the one that he's standing up there and he's actually showing exactly what's going on with the number of people

• 11:44Patrick Bet-David?

  that are above, I mean, we can see the number, the age of people that are voting. Uh, uh, uh, is that the one, Rob? Let me see, President Trump?

• 11:51Speaker 03

  360 years old, yes.

• 11:52Patrick Bet-David?

  It's the one, okay, go ahead, Rob. Watch this, folks. By the way, I don't know, I mean, if it's true, we'd love to have this person on the podcast.

• 11:59Speaker 03

  I thought it was debunked.

• 12:01Patrick Bet-David?

  If it's true.

• 12:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, I thought this was already kind of debunked. Did you read this?

• 12:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Which is this?

• 12:06Speaker 03

  So the, the, the fact that all these social security things for 350-year-old, that, that, these were records of people and a lot of these social security numbers have been recycled, stolen.

• 12:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me read this and then you debunk it. Go ahead, Rob. Play the clip and we'll go through it. Go for it.

• 12:23Speaker 06

  There is one person on social security who's 360 years old,

• 12:30Speaker 06

  which is approximately 110 years older than our country.

• 12:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, can you do me a favor? Go to, go to the numbers, and then I'm on, Brian, I'm gonna come to you first. Go to the numbers on the age of the voters. So this is what, uh, was posted initially, which by the way, the number doesn't add up. It's higher than our population. According to social security database, these are the numbers of people in each bucket with the death field set to false.

• 12:58Speaker 03

  Right.

• 12:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Maybe Twilight is real and there are a lot of vampires collecting social security. Zero to nine, thirty-eight million.

• 13:04Speaker 03

  So I love this is a story.

• 13:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, let me read it. Let me read. I'm gonna come to you. Zero to nine, thirty-eight million. Ten to nineteen, forty-four million. Twenty to twenty-nine, forty-seven. Then you got fifty-two and then a hundred to a hundred-nine. There's four point seven million people between ages of a hundred to a hundred-nine. What's the next one, Rob? One-ten to one-nineteen, three-point-six million. Rob, if you go next, there is more. Can you click next on there? Yeah.

• 13:25Speaker 03

  Where are these stats from?

• 13:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch this here. One-twenty to one-twenty-nine, three-point-four. One-thirty to one-thirty-nine. And then it goes down. So you sit there, I'm doing the math. I'm like, this doesn't add up. One-ninety to, there's four hundred and forty-eight people at that age. Okay. Brian has the insight. Tell us what's going on with this here.

• 13:39Speaker 03

  So what they're finding, I guess, is number one, a lot of social security numbers that are out there have been recycled, taken from people that are dead by illegal immigrants. That's the one thing. So people know, that's, that's actually the real story. And as far as this is concerned, this, I think, was an error when they did the accounting. They were, so, so those social security numbers of people that are dead are still registered in a database. And so they picked those up by accident. So I believe all of this has already been debunked. So this is the worry that I have as we're trying to audit the government and we're trying to make a difference here. We can't get distracted by the sensational stories. Because a lot of times, this is taking our eye off.

• 14:21Patrick Bet-David?

  You gotta realize, this is posted by Trump and by Musk.

• 14:25Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 14:26Patrick Bet-David?

  So, but can you go, Rob, do me a favor, actually go to, uh, go to Snopes. And let's just look, we do this on podcasts all the time.

• 14:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 14:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Go to Snopes and see what, what they say there. It's gonna refer to certain stories.

• 14:38Speaker 03

  Right.

• 14:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump's social security age.

• 14:41Speaker 05

  And Pat, while you're doing that, I asked ChatGPT, yes, there are people in their hundreds collecting a social security, a hundred years old and older, and then, yes, a significant are collecting social security, have passed away. A lot of them are dead and they're and they're collecting money. Well, you know, you would anybody be surprised if they found out that they've just been mailing checks to

• 15:01Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 15:01Speaker 05

  200 year olds.

• 15:02Speaker 03

  Nobody shocked by that.

• 15:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Analyzing Musk's claim, can you can you let's look at this, analyzing Musk's claim that 150 year olds are collecting social security payments, maybe Twilight is real and there's a goal a little rap. So this is a few days ago, US Department of the claim that the problem including people that 150 years or more than 200 200 years old were collecting social security payments, widespread income. While an audit published in 2020, found that the central social security database known as the Nubidens does does include 18.9 million people born before 1920 who do not have death information on record, making them more than 100 years old. If alive, only 44,000 of them were receiving social security, the auditors wore the Nubidens has spotty death records because these individuals died before the use of electronic

• 15:45Patrick Bet-David?

  death reporting while the agencies missing death records may make it more valuable to fraud. The small number of people aged 100 or older actually collecting payments suggests it is not a widespread issue and earlier audit published in 2015. Determine that while six and a half million people in Nubidens database were found to be over age and under one payments, only 266 beneficiaries. Okay, so that's important to know that of whom records show were likely actually under the age of 112 while the SSA has undergone some of the so what does it say if you go to the bottom, does it say?

• 16:15Speaker 03

  The bottom line is there is waste, we just don't want to get, we don't want to get distracted by these these stories, so.

• 16:23Patrick Bet-David?

  But it's not, is it saying true or false? What is the saying?

• 16:26Speaker 05

  It's just reporting it, it's not even giving you the it's.

• 16:28Speaker 07

  Yeah, usually there's like a mostly true, true, false, it's not giving us that.

• 16:32Speaker 03

  But this has mostly been, I think it's been by conservative journalists like like the spectator, I'm sorry, by by what they actually called commentary magazine, like the conservative magazines, they they have debunked this. Uh, it's not that there isn't a lot of waste in government and that this isn't a good audit that we need to, we're going to find when they do this audit of you guys, it's so funny how we're talking about USAID, that's adorable. Wait till they get to Medicaid and Medicare, wait till they get to the Pentagon. You have no, it's gonna be, it's gonna be insane.

• 17:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, we're gonna have, the numbers aren't going to be able to fit on.

• 17:09Speaker 03

  Do you know that there was an idea, the idea was when during the Cold War, there was the idea that we're going to spend and we let the Soviets know, we're going to spend. $500 on a screw because we can and you guys can't keep up with it. There was actually a culture of that. And that was almost a deliberate sort of like effort. A propaganda effort, but when they, when you see how much, how much fraud there is in those agencies. Buckle up.

• 17:36Adam Sosnick?

  But can I ask you a question?

• 17:37Tom Ellsworth?

  I agree with that.

• 17:38Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, let me ask you a question though. What time you want to say?

• 17:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, good. Yeah, so I agree with that, but on social security, maybe get past the size and scope of the sensational headline. But there are two major areas of fraud that I as a voter, and I think the rest of Americans want to see. How many recycled social security numbers are out there with checks that are going to people that never paid in payroll taxes?

• 17:59Speaker 03

  Right.

• 17:59Tom Ellsworth?

  So they never put it into the trust fund. It was never there.

• 18:02Speaker 03

  This.

• 18:02Tom Ellsworth?

  Number one, and then number two, there are, there is truths that there are people that pass away. And then all they have to do is make an arrangement with the funeral home. And they, guess what? Nothing gets filed and so they still get the check from grandma. And that is fraud that's happened and you can go and you can find.

• 18:20Speaker 03

  That's for sure.

• 18:21Tom Ellsworth?

  A handbook that are out there. I want to know, I want to know those areas. So I think Doge opening the door that says, hey, there is fraud at social security. I think we need to keep looking at that. To your point, hey, let's get past the sensational headline. The sensational headline, if it turns out things are wrong, I don't want to give the liberal media an opportunity to say, hey, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. And knock on Joe Doge when they are uncovering a lot of stuff that's really important. And I as a taxpayer would like a rebate.

• 18:49Speaker 03

  Absolutely.

• 18:50Adam Sosnick?

  Let me tell you why I think this story is actually way more important than even we're maybe assuming right now. Even though these numbers are maybe wrong or inaccurate, whatever, but I love the fact that it's a conversation starter. Because, and I've said this all the time, you know, our federal deficit was $2 trillion this past year. And we are $37 trillion in debt.

• 19:09Speaker 03

  Thirty seven, can I just tell you how much?

• 19:10Adam Sosnick?

  Hold on, let me tell you.

• 19:11Speaker 03

  Thirty seven trillion.

• 19:12Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, go, count, go.

• 19:13Speaker 03

  I mean, no, but it's insane. It's, I'm going to give you, keep talking because I want to give you perspective on what 37 trillion.

• 19:19Adam Sosnick?

  Let me give you a little perspective. If you and Jesus went into business today.

• 19:23Speaker 03

  You're so dominant.

• 19:24Adam Sosnick?

  All right. If you and Jesus have been doing, and you made a million dollars a day, boom, you and Jesus, boom, for the last 2025 years, boom, boom, a million dollars every day. It still would not equal one trillion dollars.

• 19:35Speaker 03

  Correct.

• 19:36Adam Sosnick?

  And we're $2 trillion a year, bro.

• 19:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 19:39Adam Sosnick?

  So if you look at what our expenditures are, $2 trillion deficit. Our number one expenditure, and this isn't discretionary, this is mandatory spending. Our number one thing is this thing on the screen right here. Social Security. Then you have Medicare, you have Medicaid. I'll never forget, this is how I know PBD, I'm at these insurance conferences, and this guy is getting up on stage, talking to baby boomer advisors. And he's basically saying that America's screwed, and the bigger, he goes, there's the one reason why. And everyone's like, tell us why we don't, and he goes, it's a four-letter word, and the word is math. Is because we just can't pay for all this stuff. And this guy wrote a book called The Power of Zero, and basically said, do what you can to eliminate all your taxes,

• 20:21Adam Sosnick?

  get a Roth IRA, and make sure that you're not basically exposed to the tax liabilities.

• 20:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's, here's what I want you to be thinking about. Let's say this is not right, okay? And let's say it's not being reported the right way. Let's say, Snopes doesn't even say it's wrong. Snopes, if you, Rob, can you pull up, uh, go Snopes, Barack Obama, you know, fake, what do you call it? Yeah, type in Barack Obama's birth certificate, just, just go do Snopes. Barack Obama birth, I just want the audience to see what it looks like. Okay, birth certificate.

• 20:50Adam Sosnick?

  They'll tell you it's false.

• 20:51Patrick Bet-David?

  If it's false, here's what it looks like, okay? False. Now, go back to the other one with the age that we just showed, okay? If you go back to the one that we just talked about with social security payments, right? Trump's social security, you know, age, okay? If you go to this, there is no false. It's just giving you a report. Keep going lower, lower, lower. So they don't even want to put false, partly false, partly misleading, nothing. I don't know why. Now, let me read this part. Who do you think would be most accountable if these numbers were being reported? The head of who?

• 21:24Adam Sosnick?

  Social Security.

• 21:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Perfect. Rob, Vinnie is so loud, even when I lord on mine, like, I can't even, it's not on Vinnie. I've told, I've told you guys four times already, I, I don't know what else to say, on mine, specifically on mine. It pops. The head of social security resigns.

• 21:40Patrick Bet-David?

  After clash with Elon Musk, why would you resign?

• 21:43Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 21:43Patrick Bet-David?

  It's kinda weird, no?

• 21:44Speaker 03

  Uh, maybe.

• 21:45Patrick Bet-David?

  So, Michelle King, the acting commissioner of Social Security Administration, resigns after refusing Elon Musk's Doge access to sensitive SSA. Nancy Alton, president of Social Security Works, explained Doge wanted access to SSA sensitive files, the same way they're trying to do at Labor and Treasury, and the acting commissioner wouldn't give it, and she was replaced. Trump has nominated Frank B. Signanio as the next commissioner, while Leland Dudik, great name, head of SSA Anti-Fraud Division, has taken over in the interim. Musk tasked by Trump with looking into government waste, fraud, and abuse, posted a chart showing more than 20 million Americans have listed, da-da-da-da-da. Okay?

• 22:28Patrick Bet-David?

  So, why would she resign after the clash with Musk? Uh, Brian?

• 22:31Speaker 03

  My guess is sometimes you resign because, one, you figure you're already gonna be fired, or there's no way you can do your work under this administration because you've already been painted as a bad guy. This happens all the time. You just see the writing on the wall. So, sometimes people would rather resign than get fired. I think that's probably something of what's going on. The other thing that I worry about, and we have to hold our side accountable, this is very important, we need to know that it's one thing to go in and move fast and break things. I'm all about it, man, and I'm all about shrinking government. Government has no accountability and it's too big. It's a leviathan, we know this. Let's just make sure, I think, that we understand how these complicated systems work.

• 23:15Speaker 03

  Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. There are, Social Security, by the way, politically is a hand grenade, especially for Trump. There are a lot of voters that rely on those, and this state? Are you kidding me? Social Security is a very delicate issue. So, we have to be very careful about how we handle this, and it is a complicated thing. You can get into, specifically, why does Patrick Bed David get Social Security? He doesn't need it. Why is that? What's going on there? So, there are things you can do with Social Security. Is there- A play to at least privatize some of it. It is the people's bank. You don't get that money if you die early sometime. You know, there are a lot of, there are a lot of issues there that we can talk about.

• 24:00Speaker 03

  The Cato Institute talked about, and there's some thoughtful scholarship on social security. I just worry about, we live in a world today, and you would appreciate this. You're a numbers guy.

• 24:10Patrick Bet-David?

• 25:11Speaker 03

  Am I?

• 25:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, let me tell you why.

• 25:13Speaker 03

  All right.

• 25:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Because here's how audits work. You know how audits work?

• 25:15Speaker 03

  No.

• 25:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. So as a business owner, we get audited every year. You know, it's like, oh, my God, I'm getting audited. Okay, bro. Every year.

• 25:24Speaker 03

  It's a ledger, right?

• 25:25Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not even like a, it's like, yeah, we're going to find out like, for example, if you're selling a business, you tell me your business makes profits $10 million a year.

• 25:35Speaker 03

  Right.

• 25:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay? And I have to believe you. And I say, it makes 10 million? You say, yes. If your business makes 10 million, based on that, I'll give you 80 million dollars for your company.

• 25:43Speaker 03

  Right.

• 25:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Great. Then that's a letter of intent, based on me auditing your financials to see if it's real. Then I go hire a company and I spend $100,000, $200,000. They come sit in your office for two weeks, literally. Two accountants will come sit there. And if it's a big deal, maybe more. But they'll send the office and they're going through all your earned financials. And they'll say, after doing a quality of earnings. They come back and say, no, it's actually 6.2 million. So our offer is now 48 million dollars.

• 26:15Speaker 03

  Right.

• 26:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Because after auditing your financials, you're not a 10 million dollar net profit company. Or they'll come back and say, you're actually 10 and a half million. Our offer stays 80 million dollars. Great, right? So to me, auditing doesn't mean we're gonna be right 100%.

• 26:30Speaker 03

  It's not rocket science, is what you're saying.

• 26:32Patrick Bet-David?

  No, all I'm saying is, I love that they're tripping. I love that they're tripping and they're going, they're like, listen, if this is true, this is insane. Let's find out if it's true. That's what they're doing.

• 26:41Speaker 03

  Look, it's a revolution. I love it.

• 26:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, he comes out and he says, uh, he says, uh, you know, we're gonna go to Fort Knox. Why are we going to Fort Knox? Let's see if the gold is there. And then you look at the ledger, do you know what they have on the ledger that they're pricing the average price of gold?

• 26:57Speaker 03

  No.

• 26:58Patrick Bet-David?

  42 dollars. Why? If we actually price it out for what it's worth today, that's a 700, 800 billion dollar, trillion dollar reserves, give or take.

• 27:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:09Patrick Bet-David?

  So there's something, is this the one about Fort Knox?

• 27:12Speaker 03

  Yes, sir.

• 27:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you play this clip? Watch this here, the way he says it. Why would he even say it the way he said it? Go ahead.

• 27:17Speaker 11

  We're gonna go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is there.

• 27:20Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you mean?

• 27:20Speaker 11

  You know that, we're gonna go into Fort Knox. Do you know about that?

• 27:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Look, look, look, that's good.

• 27:26Speaker 11

  How is that bad, bum?

• 27:31Speaker 11

  We'll see what happens. But one of the things, we do wanna look, I mean, we hope everything's fine with Fort Knox, but we're gonna go to Fort Knox.

• 27:38Speaker 03

  He's a disruptor.

• 27:40Speaker 11

  To make sure the gold is there.

• 27:42Patrick Bet-David?

  But think about it.

• 27:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, what's he saying?

• 27:43Patrick Bet-David?

  But by the way, by the way, you know what he did? Here's, here's all he did. Just his statement of saying what? We're gonna see if the gold is there.

• 27:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:52Patrick Bet-David?

  When he, that statement makes you say what?

• 27:54Speaker 11

  Is there any gold there?

• 27:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, what if there isn't? What if, yeah. Why are you going to investigate?

• 27:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so let me ask you this now. What percentage do you think the gold is there?

• 28:01Speaker 03

  I mean, I don't know.

• 28:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm, I'm at 90%.

• 28:04Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'm gonna imagine, right, Fort Knox.

• 28:06Patrick Bet-David?

  But guess what? I don't care. Audit it financials.

• 28:09Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 28:10Patrick Bet-David?

  If you're wrong.

• 28:11Speaker 03

  Hold people accountable.

• 28:11Patrick Bet-David?

  That's it, bro, that's all it is.

• 28:13Speaker 03

  You know what we're dealing with?

• 28:14Patrick Bet-David?

  What?

• 28:14Speaker 03

  We are looking at, in my opinion, a revolution, the likes of which we haven't seen maybe since, I don't know, Andrew Jackson. I don't know if we've ever seen this. Listen, we, people forget this. 1977, Jimmy Carter tried to audit the government. He tried to shrink government. He had a worker freeze. He said, we're gonna, we're, we're, there is, there, we are not going to hire any more federal workers. 1993.

• 28:39Speaker 03

  Al Gore tried to initiate a, an early retirement for federal workers. So the Democrats have tried to do this before. It's not just, it's not just a Republican thing. And anybody who has a problem with, with cutting down on waste and auditing these departments. I mean, I don't understand the argument there. Let's see where the waste is. How could that be bad?

• 28:57Speaker 05

  Well, by the way, and that's, that's what my problem is with this entire situation is the left, the Democrats, that are losing their minds yelling, they're, they're in podiums in Washington yelling. It's like, this is your one chance that we could say Democrat, Republican, independent, all of you.

• 29:11Speaker 03

  Let's get together.

• 29:11Speaker 05

  Everybody get together, but it's impossible for them to say, you know what? They're right because they're, they're mad at the messenger that's telling them that they're getting robbed. Instead of worrying about the message is, I'm getting robbed. We've been getting screwed over for so long. That's the disruptor that we need, somebody in there. By the way, why is Elon doing this? Does he need money? He doesn't give a shit. He cares about the freaking country. And that's it. This is, this was a unifying moment that they couldn't even capitalize.

• 29:35Speaker 03

  Rob, what is the, can you see how many people work for the federal government? What, what is the number there?

• 29:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, million.

• 29:41Speaker 03

  Because by the way, and, and not to, not to make it a political issue, but it is true that about 90% of federal workers do vote Democrat. There, there, there is that. I'm not saying that that's, you know, but we have to.

• 29:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Why are you saying it in an uncomfortable way?

• 29:56Speaker 03

  We have to, we have to, we have to at least admit that this is, this is, you know.

• 30:01Adam Sosnick?

  Nobody votes, votes more Democrat than literally Washington D.C.

• 30:04Speaker 03

  But guys, what you're also hearing is this. Federal workers are no longer guaranteed lifetime employment. Well, who is? None of us are. Bro, I don't, I'm not guaranteed. I got, I got my show in this weekend in Miami. If I don't put butts in the seat, I'm in trouble. That's up to me, bro.

• 30:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's great, but so, so to me.

• 30:22Speaker 03

  I live in a marketplace.

• 30:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, to me, though, by the way, the whole reason why Vinnie is loud and, and he is low is because the name here, he is Vinnie and you are Gess. So I raised him. Did you understand what happened? I'm like, I am dying here. He just came and fixed it. All right, so, but no, going back to it, all I care about is accountability and I don't mind if you make mistakes. Our entire lives, what the left has done, specifically the left, has been trying to audit you.

• 30:51Patrick Bet-David?

  You. Right. Me. This is the first time where we're able to audit them. Thank you. Guess what? You were a business owner. How mu- how much did you deal with? In California? What was that like? Dude, listen, I've, we've left California since 2015. We still pay California taxes for our insurance. Well, we do every year, but we pay quarterly, every quarter, we pay California taxes. We don't have a choice. I'm sure. On the insurance side. But guess what? On the auditing side, business owners are used to it. They're like, yeah, every year. What are you going to do? But the government now, you don't want to be audited? You don't want to be audited? If your numbers are right, you're saying you're doing the right thing? Thank you. Let's celebrate it. Thank you. Let's tell the world. Social Security does everything right. Let's say it. However, every year when we get our social security statement, most people don't look at it. There's a, there's a fine, you know, uh, what do you call it?

• 31:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Um. Fine print? Fine print, and if you look at it, it says, just so you know, the social security fund is set to run out in 2035. Rob, can you go on chat GPT or Google? When is social security going to run out of money? Okay? Run out of money? Okay, this is what they send to you. Okay? When is social security going to run out of money? Let's see what this says. Okay, I was wrong. 2033, folks. Not 2035. That's when the meteor is supposed to hit. Look at this. Social Security reserves are projected to be depleted by 2033. According to the latest estimate, at that point, the program will solely rely on incoming payroll taxes, which are expected to cover approximately 79% of scheduled benefits. So I'm in, I'm in. Wow.

• 32:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm in, I'm in Brazil, and I'm talking to the president, Bolsonaro. Dude, their taxes there for business owners is horrible. What is it? Let me put it to you this way. So every employee gets 30 days vacation every year. You can't do nothing about it. In December, every employee gets an additional 13th month payment. So if you make 14 grand a month, the business owner is supposed to pay an additional $4,000 a month. At the end, so that's now 14 months of pay. Okay? Then, if you work for the government, most government employees, some of them make an additional 14th month payment. So they pay you an additional, so you really want to work for the government. Then taxes, regulation. So he says, business owners can't afford to pay their employees,

• 33:04Patrick Bet-David?

  and employees are not making enough money to survive. The problem is what? Both ways. Regulation. So now you gotta print more money. Yes, so to here for them to see what's going on in the States here. I'm excited about seeing what they're going.

• 33:17Tom Ellsworth?

  Can I say one thing real quick about social security? Well, it's it's a function of math, just only because this.

• 33:22Patrick Bet-David?

  I had literally 30 seconds. We've been 40 minutes on social security.

• 33:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, well, then just move on.

• 33:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, let's move on. All right, next story I want to go to.

• 33:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, if you can pull up this clip while we're on it with Doge. Go to the clip where Trump says he's weighing giving 20% of the Doge savings to Americans. Okay, so folks, this is kind of weird. Because they're saying if we find the amount of fraud that we find that you paid money into it, they want to give you 20% of it. I want it. Okay, they want to give you 20% of it. Is this the clip, Rob? Yes, sir. Watch this clip here, folks.

• 33:53Speaker 12

  Sir, Elon Musk is proposing potentially giving money to Americans based on what Doge is finding. Do you have any thoughts on that?

• 34:02Speaker 11

  I love it, a 20% dividend, so to speak, for the money that we're saving by going after the waste and fraud and abuse and all of the other things that are happening. I think it's a great idea.

• 34:14Speaker 12

  How much money do you think?

• 34:15Speaker 11

  Could be a lot. I mean, if it's 20%, we'd give back a lot of money to the taxpayer. And also it'd give an incentive for the taxpayer to go out and report things to us where we can save money.

• 34:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Pat, what are we going to do about the deficit? Will you tell me? You're a business guy.

• 34:32Patrick Bet-David?

  About the deficit?

• 34:33Tom Ellsworth?

  36 trillion dollars.

• 34:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, I mean, first of all, I want to say this and then I'll give you my answer. Because I'm going to come to you first.

• 34:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Because I'm thinking about this. We should pay it off.

• 34:41Patrick Bet-David?

  1 million percent. So I like where you went, by the way. You went straight to a person taking Kinder Farm. Hey, we're getting a big return. Let's buy Xbox.

• 34:49Tom Ellsworth?

  No, no, no, let's pay off the debt.

• 34:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Pay off the debt. Yes, you're thinking the right way, Tom. Thoughts on this?

• 34:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, I think this is a great idea. And unlike the government that was sending us relief checks during COVID and some people were getting checks that didn't really need them or deserve them. You notice what they said here? To all taxpaying units, married filing jointly, five grand, individual, five grand. And they were very specific about it in the follow-up. And I think this is a great idea because it sends a message to America. This was your money and it's coming back to you because we found out where it went and we're going to rebate you. It's a message to America. People say it's buying votes. No, it's not. He's in his second term. People say, oh, you're trying to stimulate the economy because you're not going to have

• 35:37Tom Ellsworth?

  double social security checks going out to people and those double checks can't buy goods and services. So we're in a risk of recession if too much Do- because that's one of the arguments, right? We could have a recession if Doge finds a lot of money that were flowing illicitly to citizens running scams and all of a sudden that money stops buying plane tickets, Disneyland, booze, all these things. That's a tricky argument. It's a very tricky argument, but it's an argument that's being made. Yeah. Oh, you could cause a recession, you know, let people commit fraud. And I look at it and say, wait a minute, I think this is a positive message for the American. The second part I look at is I'm ready for chapter two and I don't think we can, we can debate it, we can suppose, but chapter two is going to be, okay, what is some long-term

• 36:22Tom Ellsworth?

  deficit to get closer to a balanced budget and what is the long-term now pay down that debt? And we got an awful lot of oil and we're about to be the number one oil producer in the world if we aren't already. We are based on a projected reserve basis and we could be just having extraction taxes on our own oil and that tax goes back to paying down our debt. There's a lot of ways it could go in there to paying it down. But to your first question, Pat, I love this, it sends the right message to America. It was your money, it was wasteful, and here's some coming back to you. Yeah.

• 36:56Patrick Bet-David?

  You want me to give my thoughts on this?

• 36:57Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 36:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. So I think this is one of the scariest things for Democrats if they pull this off.

• 37:04Tom Ellsworth?

  Really?

• 37:05Patrick Bet-David?

  And I'll explain to you why.

• 37:06Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 37:07Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, when I first was part of this insurance company, I wanted to find a way to participate in the long term of the company. I wanted equity. Nobody wanted equity. I wanted equity. Cause I wanted to go 20 or something like that. I want equity on the company. If we make it multi-billion dollars, I want to participate in equity. Like, no, we're not doing that. I'm like, okay, cool. No problem. I'd like to participate in that. We like that. We like that. You own a piece of stock options. You own the company. If it grows, I'm gonna get a check, right? My guys right now, some of the, you know, checks that the guys get from the insurance company, they're like, what the hell is this? This is part of what happens when the company makes profits. Okay. To shift the thinking of a country,

• 37:50Patrick Bet-David?

  if you shift the thinking and say, every time we find wasted money, we're sending you percentage, you have the entire country supporting you.

• 38:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, you're right, man.

• 38:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you understand what happened right there? Because what you're now doing is you're revolutionizing the freaking game. Do you know what the opponent can do when, this is one of, this may be one of the scariest, you know, when he said, oh, no taxes on tips? I hate this guy, but I'll vote for him. No taxes on tips. Yeah. But you know what this is? This is no taxes on tips, on steroids, growth hormone, TRT, add whatever the hell you want to put on top. Every single thing on top of that, that's what this is.

• 38:30Speaker 03

  Right. But now let me ask you this. There seems to be a divide philosophically. One side says, the only way to get rid of the deficit is to tax. But market people, free market people say, hold on, bro. Tax, give me the money so I can stimulate the economy, right?

• 38:46Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right.

• 38:46Speaker 03

  And then we, and then you'll be able to have, you'll have a wider tax base and then we can pay it off.

• 38:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 38:50Speaker 03

  I think, I don't know.

• 38:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have friends or relatives that no matter how much money you give them, they're always gonna come back for more money?

• 38:55Speaker 03

  Come on. It's a mindset. It's a mindset.

• 38:57Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a mindset. I like. You were broke at 50 grand, you were broke at 80 grand, and now you're broke at 120 grand. It's not about how much money you make. Your mindset sucks, okay? When it comes down to money, and you don't want to admit it. So no matter what, those people, they're always gonna have the financial difficulties. But if you get the country sitting there saying, "Hey, did you hear about what happened? What happened? What did I find? Find some more fraud. They just saved us another 3.8 trillion dollars. They just got 600 billion dollars. They were getting another 3,800 dollar check. Awesome, that's great, we're more finding more fraud." That's what's gonna happen. Do you realize what that means?

• 39:32Speaker 03

  That's exactly right, man. My father always said the best way to lose a friend is to lend him money. Which is true.

• 39:38Speaker 05

  Yeah, but see, doing stuff like that, that's remember, they were hinting at a third term? That type of shit would make people go, "We kinda want him to stay."

• 39:46Speaker 03

  Where you going? Where you going?

• 39:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, wait, come back, Trump! That's when that shit changes.

• 39:50Speaker 03

  We start calling him daddy.

• 39:51Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 39:52Adam Sosnick?

  Well, I think, I think everybody needs to understand this one thing. America is broke. I mean, I don't, we can't be any clearer about this. We're rich and broke. There's a difference between broke and poor. Poor is you're frickin Bangladesh. Good luck out there, buddy. Good luck out there, Malaysia. Good luck out there in half these countries in the world. America is rich, but broke. I know, sorry. Brian has an affinity with Malaysia, don't do that again.

• 40:18Speaker 03

  Yeah, by the way, don't say anything about Malaysia.

• 40:19Adam Sosnick?

  Here's, here's what's actually going to happen with Trump. What was Trump's highest approval rating ever? 52? If that. Okay. If that. So I've been saying for years, I would love for a president in America today, in this divided, fractured country, somehow to get to 60%. Let's just break everything into thirds. There's a third of America that's like, "Trump, bro, Trump, Jesus, Dale Earnhardt, straight up." And maybe not even that order. There's a third of Americans that are like, "I don't care what he does, he's the devil." So, remove those people. Then there's a third of America in the middle that are like... Alright, let's see what we got. And slowly and slowly, he's chipping away.

• 41:03Adam Sosnick?

  Boom, boom, boom. And if you said like equity in America, every time that we locate X amount of billions of dollars, you're getting a check, you're getting a check. He's Oprah Winfrey-ing up the whole country.

• 41:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I'll take it.

• 41:15Adam Sosnick?

  Next thing you know, it's my money and I need it now.

• 41:17Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, for the people, for the people that are gonna say, I thought you weren't about redistribution of wealth. No, no, this isn't that. This is called, we found fraud from what the government was doing. Not what taxpayers were doing.

• 41:31Adam Sosnick?

  Or waste.

• 41:32Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the wasted money of our money. They wasted our money. So now you're firing all of these folks and you're telling them, see if you can make it on free market. You ever go to, like I went to a restaurant the other day. What is the restaurant in Ball Harbor, right next to Carpaccio? It's a French restaurant. No, it's a French restaurant, Ball Harbor.

• 41:54Adam Sosnick?

  It's Brian's Family.

• 41:55Patrick Bet-David?

  French restaurant, okay? So it's called Le Zoo, okay? Le Zoo. And I go over there and I love going to this place. It's Jennifer's birthday, Valentine's Day, so we go to Le Zoo. The hostess is working over there, okay? So we go in and I said, you know, we'd like to get a table. And I point at the table. Eighty percent of the place is empty. There is nobody there. And I say, I'd like to sit at that table. You know, I like to sit in the corner. And she says, I have 300 reservations. I said, I understand it, but is that reserved? I have 300 reservations. I said, what do you have available? I can only put you here. And she's being disrespectful to Jenna and I. It's her birthday. So we went and ate there the day before.

• 42:40Patrick Bet-David?

  So she takes us to a table and I'm like, wow. So they reserved that table. We go eat at Carpaccio. This lady's in like yes then or something like that. With curly hair. We go eat at Carpaccio. While we eat at Carpaccio, great service, phenomenal service. Guys are doing a great job. They come back, I'm watching that table. I go back and I see the table's been empty the entire time, okay? Oh, man. Then I come in and the manager sees me, he's a Yankee guy, I'm a Yankee guy. He says, "Hey, how you doing? How's everything?" I said, "I got a question for you." And she's standing right there. Oh, I love this.

• 43:11Speaker 03

  Oh, man.

• 43:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I said, "I came here about an hour ago and I've been watching the entire time. I wanted that table." She said, "The tables are reserved." "Is that table reserved?" He starts rolling his eyes. Oh, man. I said, "So it wasn't reserved?" "No." She's on the phone acting like she can't hear. I said, "Before I leave, did you just hear what your boss said? The boss says what he says to her." "Oh, no, I was trying to sit you whatever." I said, "No, no," and then Jennifer comes. "No." Oh. You know Jennifer is very chilled. Jennifer does not get into it like that. No, you told us that table was reserved, that table's not reserved, anybody can't sit there. And then she said, "Well, I apologize." Guess what? She reminds me of employees that work at the DMV. Oh, yeah. Because some people that have that power, they just want to use it.

• 43:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's right.

• 43:54Patrick Bet-David?

  The fact that they're firing all these people in the government that treat our customers like shit, let's see how you're making a free market enterprise. Let's see how you do. By the way, flip side, we go to this restaurant called, uh, the French Steak, whatever. Dirty French. Dirty French. In Miami. In Miami. Waiter comes, Francisco was a basketball player, came to the States at 16 years old. He was gonna be an NBA player, 16 years old, Mexican, falls in love. Incredible service. When I tell you royal treatment, I cannot even tell you how they treated us over there. From the guy at the front on Valentine's Day that had a red jacket on, from the guy that kept bringing us the drinks, from the lady that would bring us all this stuff, Francisco got a 10. He said, "Patrick, can you please give me some love?" Francisco, you were amazing.

• 44:39Patrick Bet-David?

  I went to the bathroom, there was a whole thing that said, a girl had left a message, "I heart Adam," there was all this stuff in the bathroom. Really? But she was hoping that Adam would come. Oh, yeah. But, but by the way, that guy's gonna make it in free market and the other girl's gonna be losing jobs left and right. So I love the efficiency with government employees. Let's see if you can make the same kind of money treating people like shit in a free market. Tom? I'll give you a period on the end of the sentence here.

• 45:06Speaker 03

  Over the weekend Bloomberg measured 48% of America thinks it's going in the right direction. That is the highest percentage ever recorded in the history of Bloomberg keeping the right direction survey.

• 45:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Wow.

• 45:19Speaker 03

  So guess what? There's a lot of headlines going back and forth and a lot of things going on, but what does America think? That's what we think.

• 45:25Patrick Bet-David?

  That is unbelievable when you see these stories.

• 45:27Speaker 05

  What's the book you always talk about? The life cycles of a business barbarians to bureaucrats?

• 45:32Speaker 03

  She's just a bureaucrat just getting in your way whereas our friend Francisco flag carrier out there.

• 45:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Francisco's a stud.

• 45:40Speaker 03

  Let him complain, let him complain. America thinks it's happening and it's going in the right direction.

• 45:45Speaker 05

  But what did Trump call it during election when we were there? He said this is the golden age.

• 45:50Speaker 03

  It's the golden age of America.

• 45:51Speaker 05

  And I'm telling you right now, we are freaking winning and it's so, and I don't blame the left. They're not used to this. Like just relax. It's, I know it's weird. Just go with the flow.

• 46:01Speaker 03

  I have to give Brian Callen a shout out then. If you've ever seen the movie The Hangover, check him out right now. One and two. Remember the part of the movie when they go, we're back, we're back. Like America's back, baby.

• 46:11Speaker 05

  Finally.

• 46:12Speaker 03

  There it is.

• 46:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Brian, you've been in so many movies that I, the other day I'm watching one of my favorite movies of all time by Gavin O'Connor, Warrior.

• 46:22Speaker 03

  Oh yeah.

• 46:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Gavin O'Connor, what a freaking stud of a guy.

• 46:25Speaker 03

  That's my boy.

• 46:26Patrick Bet-David?

  He is a, he man is wide.

• 46:27Speaker 03

  He listens to you all the time.

• 46:28Patrick Bet-David?

  I love Gavin. Phenomenal guy, good family.

• 46:29Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 46:30Patrick Bet-David?

  And I see you, I'm like, holy shit. And you killed it. You actually, you were so good. And I'm like, the relationship with Joe Rogan obviously helped you out.

• 46:39Speaker 03

  So Gavin wanted Rogan.

• 46:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 46:43Speaker 03

  I call Rogan and I go, hey, do you want to do this movie? He goes, honestly, bro, I'm so busy. If it's not a ton of cash, I'm not doing it. So Gavin goes, I'll just, why don't you play it? And then I said, so I said to Joe, I said, you got any advice on how to play this role? He said, take yourself completely out of it. And that's all I did. Just, just if you're an announcer, never talk about yourself.

• 47:01Patrick Bet-David?

  There's not a better person to give you counsel. You didn't call Stephen A. Smith on how to commentate a UFC fight?

• 47:06Speaker 03

  No.

• 47:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Because Stephen A. Smith, anyways.

• 47:08Speaker 03

  I love him. I love him, but he's not the guy. Don't call fights.

• 47:12Patrick Bet-David?

  No, but let's talk, let's talk about Stephen A. Smith. Stephen A. I'm going to go to Stephen A. right now. So Stephen A. I texted him a few days ago, we're going back and forth. Stephen A. comes out and he says that reveals why he would consider running for president. All right, Stephen A., praise for impact, buddy. Stephen A. told Daily Mail that US two-party system is a joke and could drive him to run for president, stating, "Let me tell you why I would consider running, because I think our system sucks. I think the binary system where we could have to choose between Democrats and Republicans is a joke. I think it's this... Is this it, by the way, Rob?

• 47:49Speaker 07

  This is a clip from earlier this month. He's talked about this a few times, but this is him explaining exactly why he wants to run for president.

• 47:55Patrick Bet-David?

  How many minutes is that?

• 47:56Speaker 07

  It's only 39 seconds.

• 49:03Speaker 13

  I doubt I'll ever run. It's not me. I live a pretty good life, and I don't want to ruin it by getting involved in politics. But I gotta tell y'all something. I'm running. The Democratic Party looks so pathetic after this election. I have to run. I might entertain running. Yeah, okay. I just might change my mind one day. I doubt it, but I might.

• 49:29Speaker 13

  Because how much would it take to beat y'all?

• 49:33Speaker 13

  And Trump can't run again.

• 49:37Speaker 13

  He's done.

• 49:38Speaker 03

  You know, you know what the problem with that is? That's, that's cute. But when you get into politics, you, you, people come to you and your fundraisers say, you better vote along these lines because the money is with us. And you're either a Republican or a Democrat. And you try to be an independent, that's cute. But they, the real operatives look at you like a street fighter. They just go, alright, bro. We'll see when you, when you come to your senses, we'll be over here. Because the money's over here.

• 50:03Speaker 05

  And I can't wait to hear what you have to say because you have that look in your eyes like, like Brooklyn does. This, let me explain something to you. What he's doing, what I just said about the golden age of America, we, we're not, how many days are we in? Let's be honest. A month and a couple, how long, Rob? How many days? How many, the presidency, Trump got to business. Literally 30 days. Okay, one month and this has happened. We're gonna have four years of this just kicking ass. I don't care, anybody from the Democrat left, if this mandate is gonna be so strong and powerful, nobody's gonna look the other way. There's nothing, I think, this is my opinion, what's a Democrat gonna come and do right now to be like, no, no, no, what they're doing, we're gonna do this.

• 50:45Speaker 05

  They are just a destructive, the past years of what Biden did, that's what, what are you gonna run on? What are you gonna run on? If it's not piggybacking of what they're doing, what the JD Vance is and what the Tulsi Gabbard's and, there's no freaking way, there's no hope, there's no Stephen A. Smith, nobody could stop this movement. I don't think so, there's no way. People have woken up, bro, and there's no way to go back to a nightmare. It's a wrap.

• 51:05Tom Ellsworth?

  If the economy has a hangnail, that's what they're gonna run on.

• 51:08Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 51:09Tom Ellsworth?

  If the, if they can find an average person who can no longer buy a Snickers bar today and they could buy it yesterday, they're gonna put that person on camera. Every little thing is gonna be hyper amplified. You're already seeing it right now. This is the most important year of the Trump presidency. This is the establishment year, this is the momentum year, this is getting out of the gate, this is getting it all the way so that we all have a very happy holiday and say, wow, bumpy summer, but man, I guess he was right. The economy's here, jobs are happening and the year's ending well. Because then that goes into midterms. But these cats, these dogs, these swamp creatures are gonna be looking for every little thing so that they can carry momentum into midterms and see if they can shift the Senate and Congress.

• 51:53Adam Sosnick?

  As much as I agree with Vinny,

• 51:57Adam Sosnick?

  The left ain't going anywhere, bro. I mean, listen, there's only, there's only two parties in this country. Yep. And I guarantee you, four years from now, I, just like every election of our lifetime. Yep. Too close to call. Who knows who's gonna, we don't know who it's gonna be, we don't know what the agenda is. Unless the economy's kicking ass. Yeah, but it's not Trump again. Right. Unless, I know. But JD Vance, JD Vance is, he's. JD Vance, respectfully. He's the future. He ain't Trump, bro. I don't know, man. I think he's the future. I know he's not Trump. I think he may be the future. Vivek may be there. There's a whole list of issues. But don't get it twisted. They're gonna come up with an agenda. There's still 40% of America who are never gonna vote Republican. 52, or 52%, because if, 48% are saying that we're doing well.

• 52:42Adam Sosnick?

  With you, they have a game plan, they have an agenda, and they're gonna implement it.

• 52:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me ask a different question here. So for me, let's, let's isolate one by one by one, because a lot was said. Stephen A. Smith. So here's the challenge he's gonna face. Stephen A. Smith was on a podcast, and I said, if your mother, who's his hero, was alive today, who would she vote for? And he said, she would vote conservative. She would vote for Trump. Okay? That's what he said when he was on the podcast. Okay? Here's the problem he's facing. The problem Stephen A. Smith's facing is 90% of the policies of how he lives, and he believes, and he was raised on, is on the right.

• 53:23Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 53:24Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not on the left. 90% is on the right, not on the left. Stephen A. Smith's conflicted right now because, you know, he's, he's, he's gonna get paid, and he deserves every penny he gets paid. He's been number one for 20 years and dominating everybody. So.

• 53:40Adam Sosnick?

  Amen.

• 53:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Amen, exactly. Number two is, he is, at a certain point of your life, things like this matter. Like, when we, when you're young, you're like, dude, just be quiet with this political stuff. Did you see the guy went 3-4-4 yesterday, had six RBIs and hit two home runs, and at the bottom of the ninth inning, da-da-da-da? Did you see the new hit? Did you see what EZ just came out? Did you see, that's in, when you're young, you're not, and then as you get older, it's like, oh shit. Now he's at a phase that he's, you know, 30s, you start paying attention to taxes. And in 40s, you start saying, maybe these people on my side are lying to me. And then at this age, he's like, no, I know, it's not.

• 54:16Adam Sosnick?

  You see how that works.

• 54:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course. So for, for him to make a decision. To run or not, he can only, Stephen A., if you're running just to say you ran and on your Wikipedia says he ran for office, run as an independent. You, it's, run as an independent, go do it like that and you'll eventually have to go behind somebody. But if you want to run to run, you know you have to run as a conservative. But you know, the entire celebrity community that you've been invited to the parties, the texts, the messages.

• 54:46Speaker 03

  You're out.

• 54:46Patrick Bet-David?

  You're permanently ousted and that is the number one reason why guys like him who are super capable, have common sense, are incredible communicators, ought to be running. I told them, run, you ought to run. You ought to run and go do this. They know they have to go to the other side and their worry is, do I want to lose those relationships or not? And if you don't, you can't. Independents, you, you, it's just independents not gonna happen.

• 55:12Tom Ellsworth?

  No, period.

• 55:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Democrat, you're not a Democrat.

• 55:15Speaker 03

  Right.

• 55:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Conservative, you're gonna lose the Hollywood card. So what do you do with that?

• 55:19Speaker 03

  How do we avoid your guy, you and Tom, no policy, you're getting, how do you avoid though, when you say you're a Democrat? You know you get these super PACs. You get, you get the trans activists, you get the abortion activists, whoever it is, they come to you and they say, if you want our money and you need our money, you're gonna vote absolutely along these lines. That's why you get someone like Kamala Harris saying, I supported transgender prisoners being, having the money to transition, even immigrants.

• 55:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Illegal immigrant transgender prisoners.

• 55:51Speaker 03

  Why did she say that? Why did she say that? You think she believes that? It doesn't matter. That's not the point, man. You better say across lines. If you have any nuance, you're not getting our money. So how do we avoid all those special interests with all that money? I want to know, like, what do we do about campaign finance reform in that sense? That might be the thing to talk about. It's not sexy. The minute I say campaign finance reform, half your audience just now just went to sleep. They literally got, I took all the energy out of their body. Because when you get into the nitty gritty of this stuff, but that might be really what we should talk about.

• 56:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, that, that, that, I agree. Tom, if you want to say something on that.

• 56:23Speaker 03

  I don't know.

• 56:24Tom Ellsworth?

  I think there's a time and a place for campaign finance reform and. When Byron Donalds was here a couple of weeks ago, I made a comment, I said, if you want to find out why Elizabeth Warren is yelling and sounding a little weird at a, at a hearing, find out who yelled at her an hour and a half before the hearing started.

• 56:40Patrick Bet-David?

  There you go.

• 56:41Tom Ellsworth?

  And Byron Donalds goes, that is so true.

• 56:44Patrick Bet-David?

  That's it.

• 56:45Tom Ellsworth?

  And so there is that, and there is campaign finance reform, and you know, the John Roberts decision that allowed unlimited, you know.

• 56:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Citizens United.

• 56:53Tom Ellsworth?

  You could go there, but I think.

• 56:55Patrick Bet-David?

  I'll, I'll give you something here.

• 56:56Tom Ellsworth?

  I think that's a deeper issue, and I think Pat's hitting it on the head on the surface.

• 57:00Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm going to transition into this next story, and you'll see why I'm going into this next story, okay? So Brazil's Bolsonaro, okay, charged over alleged coup that included a plan to poison Lula, okay? Man, oh my. Yes. Damn. That, yeah, exactly.

• 57:17Tom Ellsworth?

  It's a James Bond film.

• 57:18Patrick Bet-David?

  So, but, but, uh, prosecutor, again, this is AP News, Brazil's prosecutor general formally charged, um, President Bolsonaro, why don't they put the guy's name? They should put the guy's name. Bolsonaro was attempting a coup alleging he agreed to a plan called Green and Yellow Dagger to poison President Luiz Lula de Silva and assassinate Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Bolsonaro's defense called the accusations dismaying and in the, indignating. While his son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro dismissed the indictment as empty and politically motivated, the indictment, based on manuscripts, digital files, spreadsheets, and message exchanges,

• 57:59Patrick Bet-David?

  described a coordinated effort to overturn Bolsonaro's 2022 election loss by pressing, pressuring military leaders, drafting legal cover, and citing riots. The Supreme Court will decide whether to proceed with a trial where Bolsonaro could face up to 20 years in prison, up to 40, up to 38 years, if convicted of attempting a coup. So now.

• 58:21Patrick Bet-David?

  You hear this story. While I'm there, I want to learn about what the system's like. We're in Brasilia. Brasilia, Brazil is the capital, but it was built by communists. The city looks like a communist city. Because they intentionally build a city in a very, like, everything looks the same. Like, Rob, if you can go to the buildings and just put images, everything, there's nothing fancy sexy about the city. Okay, when you go to it. We stayed at a hotel called the Royal Tulip, which Castro stayed at, which Chavez stayed at, which Maduro stayed at, which Xi was there just two months ago. We stayed at that hotel. And we went to the House, Congress, they walked us around Senate, they walked us around everywhere. We had a chance to see everything that was going on in Brazil. Interviews coming out on Monday. And, and while we're talking, here's what we learn about Brazil.

• 59:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch this. And why this applies to America. Americans, it's so important to realize this. Do you know, oh my God, like, do you know if Trump, his greatest accomplishment that he did on his first term? You know what it was? Flipping three seats. That's right. When he flipped three seats, you can call it luck, you can call it whatever, we were debating this, Brandon, a power, you know, hand of God, you can call it whatever you want. Obama had eight years, he flipped one seat. Trump had four years, flipped three seats, and one of the years was COVID here. And he flipped three seats. You're talking about Supreme Court seats? Supreme Court seats. Now, here, we have how many seats? Nine. When he flipped, at the end of his term, what was the number?

• 59:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Was it six-three, Tom, or was it five-four? At the end of his term? Biden? No, conservatives to liberals. Yes. I think it was six-three. I think it was six-three, exactly. So he was at six-three. The next term, if you guys remember this, what did they try to do to Trump? Pack the courts. Do you remember? No, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama could pack the courts. But do you remember when? Colorado was the first state to come out and say what? We're removing him from the ballot. Off the ballot. We want to remove him off the ballot. Then other states started coming in and saying what? Yeah, we're gonna do it too. Yeah, we're gonna do it too. Yeah, we're gonna do it too. And then who said? Pump the brakes. Not gonna happen. Supreme Court. Supreme Court justice. By the way, what would have happened if it was 6-3 the other way around?

• 1:00:34Patrick Bet-David?

  If it was 6-3 the other way around, Trump's not president today. That's right. So let me explain to you, if it's 6-3 the other way around, Trump may be in jail today. His kids may be in jail today. Everybody may be in jail today. While I'm in Brazil, you ready for this? 2016, Trump wins election. They call Bolsonaro the Trumpers Brazil. He wins in 2018. They've both been married three times. They both have three kids from their first wife. One from the second, one from the third. Both of them, okay? Bolsonaro and Trump. Bolsonaro was in the military for 13 years as a captain. He went and became a congress for 27 years, of which the last four years was with his son. Then he ran for president. Do you know how much money he had to run for president? $1 million. When he ran against the left. Do you know in the Brazilian media,

• 1:01:17Patrick Bet-David?

  what they do there is anybody that runs, they decide how much time you get every day. Every morning and every night, they allot you time to go up and talk to the people. Globo is the biggest media. I think they got 39% of all the viewership of all the nine. But Globo is like their biggest one. Do you know his opponent, who was the leader, I think the Workers Party, a guy named Haddad? Okay, Rob, if you can pull up Haddad. Tall, good-looking guy, who's a full-on socialist. Haddad, no, not Haddad, Rob, Haddad. H-A-D-D-A-D. I'm almost spelling it like hybrid. There you go. Brazilian Haddad, that's the guy, okay? So this guy Fernando Haddad runs against Bolsonaro. Watch this. He gets every day to speak on TV. 12 minutes in the morning, 12 minutes at night. You know what they give to Bolsonaro every day? 7 seconds in the morning. No. 7 seconds. Seconds.

• 1:02:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Seconds. Hello. Do you know they have two runoffs? Wow. First one and there's a runoff. How do they justify that? Exactly the point, but they say it. We're only giving Bolsonaro seven seconds and he has 1 million to campaign. He ends up beating this guy. Do you know by how many votes he beats Hadad? Rob, can you pull up by how many votes he beats Hadad? Around 1.8 million? No, no, no, no, no, no. By how many votes did Bolsonaro beat Hadad? Okay, who Hadad had the mainstream media. Hadad had everybody. He beats him on the first runoff by I think 15 million votes. First. He beats him by 15 million votes. Look at that. Wow. First one he beats by, that's the second one round, that's the runoff. He beats him by 10.1 million, but on the first one he beats by 15 million votes. So watch what happens.

• 1:02:48Patrick Bet-David?

  You ready for this? This is where, and this is what I asked them. On why they're going after him and why they can't. The Supreme Court in Brazil, you know how many seats it is? 11. Okay. You know how many is on the right? What do you think it is? Two. Two. Wow. Two out of 11 is on the right. Everybody else against him. Senate, they have 81 senators. You know who's on the right? 22. House, they have 513 congressmen. You know how many is on the right? 130. Oh, forget it. That country, who has been dealing with corruption forever, is still controlled by these corrupt people like Alexandre de Moraes, who had to go back and bring Lula back out of jail.

• 1:03:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Lula, Operation Car Wash, who stole money and he got a free apartment. That when he got the free apartment, this guy named Moro is asking him questions and saying, hey, you got this apartment? Yeah, I got this apartment. I don't even know what happened. So no, but they gave it to you as a gift. He's gone up questioning him, right? Eventually, he, his wife is under so much stress, she has an aneurysm, she dies. Four months later. When his wife dies, right after his wife dies, guess who he blames that accepted to receive the apartment? He blames his wife. He blames his dead wife. Media says, look at this guy, what you doing? Alexandre de Morais goes and says, no, you're not guilty. He was supposed to go to jail for 12 years. He brings Lula out. Lula beats Bolsonaro in 2022. Trump loses to, you know, Biden, Biden

• 1:04:17Patrick Bet-David?

  and Lula are the same people. And then he's here today. The only difference today, why he could potentially go to jail is because they only have two on Supreme Court. They only have 22 in Senate. They only have 130 in House. And it is, so when you're saying many political parties, they have 23 political parties, you have to make a deal with everybody, or else you're not getting nothing done. That's Brazil for you.

• 1:04:41Speaker 03

  Chaos.

• 1:04:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Dude.

• 1:04:42Speaker 03

  And everybody's got their hand out, living off the public trough. So they're not going to shrink it voluntarily. This is what, this is a really important point. You can say what you, like, yes, as they do this Doge, as they, they move fast, they're going to break things. Yes, they may not understand nuances of government. Yes, you throw the baby out with the bathwater. At the end of the day, you want a country, what did George Washington say? Government should be treated like a necessary evil. The larger it grows, the more coercive it becomes. It passes taxes and it, it, I'm sorry, raises taxes and it passes laws. Those are coercive measures. So just know, and there's no accountability. So at the end of the day, do you need, look, every one of these agencies we talk about, let me give you an example. Every one of these

• 1:05:27Speaker 03

  agencies has an inspector general. They have somebody that's supposed to audit, that's supposed to look for fraud. And they do, but it's not good enough. What's going on? Biden's own accounting office, what did they find? Fine. 70, 70 different government programs. Of those 70, they found, that's his department, they found 236 billion irregular or overpayments or fraud. Okay, 236 billion. That is, I believe, one-fourth of the defense's budget. Okay? So there is, and that's just Biden. So we're going to find that this is, that's, that's chicken feet compared to what they're going to find out.

• 1:06:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Again, by the way, this thing, while we're there, before we go, they tell us, when we went with a team of nine, they said, you need an international lawyer. They don't want him to speak. They don't want him to talk about anything. He's not allowed to talk about anything. You know, he was the only president in the world that didn't get a COVID shot? He's the only president in the world. I mean, we can't count Tanzania and somebody smaller. He's the only president in the world that refused to take the COVID shot.

• 1:06:36Speaker 05

  I love him.

• 1:06:36Patrick Bet-David?

  And he's very popular still in Brazil. Popular. He can't even walk outside, guys. He can't go anywhere. And so this is a form of a coup, isn't it? It's, it's, what they're, they are so worried because if this guy wins in Brazil, the way it works is if you are one term, you lose, you come back and you can go two terms back to back in Brazil. Oh shit. Yeah, so, so you know what happened right now. So is he not going to be allowed to run or he is right? As of today, he can't even run. So there's a guy named Nicolas Ferreira, who is a rock star in Brazil. Rock star. He makes a post on Instagram, it gets a million likes. It gets two million likes. Any post. Go look him up right now. This guy right here, he is the future president of Brazil. He's 28 years old right now. Unfortunately, he cannot run till I think 2036 because of the way they have it set up. Little young.

• 1:07:17Patrick Bet-David?

  He is, he is the most popular guy in all of Brazil. We were having dinner with him last night. Rob, last night? Is he a conservative? I think last night. Oh, is he a conservative? Yeah, he's a con- We were having dinner with him last night at this one Inferno. I don't know what the pizza place was, which was the pizza place.

• 1:07:33Speaker 05

  I saw your story. He was giving you a shout out in Portuguese.

• 1:07:36Patrick Bet-David?

  The, the, the influence this guy has is like no other. They're doing a massive march on March 16th, all over the country, and we're excited to see what happens over there. But anyways, the guy says, you guys need to be secure. So we had a, what do you call it? A armored truck that we went everywhere with. We're being escorted.

• 1:07:56Patrick Bet-David?

  And we had the files. And eventually when we left, we didn't post anything until we got to the States here. But remember this name, folks, Americans. By the way, he's going to be on the podcast, I think, this Saturday or next Saturday, one of these, he's coming here. This guy will one day be the president of Brazil. He is loved, he's admired, he's bold, he just had a kid, he's got another one on the way. A big fan of this guy. Excited to see what he does here. So good luck to all of Brazil. The, the one thing Brazil you got, you got God on our, on your side.

• 1:08:25Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 1:08:25Patrick Bet-David?

  The one thing you got on your side, you cannot lose hope. You gotta stay. Yesterday on the flight back, I'm watching Senna's documentary for the 100th time. By the way, Ayrton Senna, Tom, you want a fun fact? You know who shares a birthday with Ayrton Senna? Jair Bolsonaro. They're born on the same day. They both have a same birthday, I think it's March 21st or something like that. On the flight back, I'm flying back watching the, I watched the Senna's documentary in Ford versus Ferrari again. I can watch this back to back. And both stories end the same way, by the way, if you think about it. But I'm watching it and it gets to the point, I'm in a fricking plane, I'm putting blankets over him, I'm like, nobody can see me right now while he dies and Yeah, you're crying. The only hope they had, I'm like, people are like, would you like anything to drink? He was your hero. I named my daughter after it, I named my daughter after it.

• 1:09:10Patrick Bet-David?

  He's in that painting of yours. To me, Senna's, I wouldn't say he's my hero, I think he's a guy I respect for how he lived his life. Yeah, like a monk, right? He was like a monk, wasn't he? He was, he was a lot of things, but one of the questions I asked Bolsonaro, because he's very good friends with PK. I said, hey man, you're born on Senna's birthday, but you're a fan of PK and you guys are friends, so how do you handle this? His answer is funny, and he gave me a coin at the end, you have to, this coin is only given to five people. Rob, who would have five names he said about this coin?

• 1:09:41Speaker 07

  Putin, Trump, Orban, Malay, Orban, and you.

• 1:09:48Patrick Bet-David?

  And he gave these five coins. That's so sick. And this coin, it's so interesting what it says on it, you have to see the translation. The first word is umorivel, umorivel, okay? Which means undiable, okay? That's the word, it's really not a word, Rob, if you can, undiable. I like that, it's a good name for a movie, undiable. The second one is imbrocavel, okay? Rob, can you look this up, you see the word there, undiable. Imbro, I-M-I-M-B-R-O-C-H-A-V-E-L. I'm sure Brazilians are cracking up right now.

• 1:10:22Speaker 07

  They're laughing.

• 1:10:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Imbroxavel, the meaning of imbrocavel, well, let me look this up, because I think you're having a hard time with the spelling. Let me, people have to know what the last one is. What does imbrocavel mean in Portuguese?

• 1:10:37Speaker 07

  Português.

• 1:10:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Imbroxavel means, um, unflappable, never losing potency, like you always stay up, you're never limp.

• 1:10:48Patrick Bet-David?

  No, literally, this is the guy.

• 1:10:49Tom Ellsworth?

  I love it.

• 1:10:50Patrick Bet-David?

  That's exactly what it means. Like, you don't need Viagra, you're always hard.

• 1:10:53Speaker 03

  Brazilian for Cialis.

• 1:10:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Rob, move that image off of it.

• 1:10:56Patrick Bet-David?

  And do you know what the last one is?

• 1:10:58Tom Ellsworth?

  Say flaccid proof, it said.

• 1:10:59Patrick Bet-David?

  That's what it is. That's how funny this guy is. And then, do you know what the last one is? The last one is in comivel. Rob, please look this up. The audience has to see this.

• 1:11:08Speaker 03

  In comivel.

• 1:11:09Patrick Bet-David?

  In comivel. The Portuguese people who are watching this right now are cracking up. In, no, Rob. In, I N, C O V, C O M, O M, M. Take the V out. M, I V E L, I V E L. Definition, okay?

• 1:11:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Means in Portuguese, yeah. Okay? In comivel. Well, I'll say to you, it means unfuckable.

• 1:11:36Speaker 03

  Inedible, inedible.

• 1:11:37Patrick Bet-David?

  It says, no, no, it's specifically in comivel.

• 1:11:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Endiable, undiable?

• 1:11:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Undiable, unflappable.

• 1:11:44Speaker 03

  Unfuckable.

• 1:11:47Patrick Bet-David?

  That's this guy.

• 1:11:48Speaker 03

  You can't fuck me. Now, let me ask you this. Did you feel from him, what, did he feel nervous and worried about?

• 1:11:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 1:11:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, because he's got the world coming out.

• 1:11:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but let me tell you what he did. He did not hold back. While we're sitting there, my translator is trans, because he's, he has a translator telling him, which is his son and another girl named Lily, Guy Paulo, I love this guy Paulo, we had a great time with him, but my translator is translating to me. There's a moment where I say to him, I say, I've been walking the streets of Brazil and asking everybody, I have one question, because a country that can't find the next people to step up doesn't have heroes. I'm asking everybody who their heroes are, everywhere. Everybody says, we don't have heroes in Brazil, but almost everyone gave me three names. They said Pele, they said Artensena, and they said Bolsonaro.

• 1:12:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Wow.

• 1:12:37Patrick Bet-David?

  And I said, why do your people love you so much? Let me tell you what happens. I just got the chills. Rob, did you go there right now, Rob? Let me tell you what happens. I ask him this question. Vinny, I can't wait for people to see this. Tears dropping on the table.

• 1:12:54Patrick Bet-David?

  He's not, he's a Trump guy, he's not a crier.

• 1:12:56Speaker 03

  Damn.

• 1:12:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Tears are dropping on the table.

• 1:12:58Speaker 03

  He's a captain in the military.

• 1:12:59Patrick Bet-David?

  He's a captain in the military, tears are dropping on the table. And he's speaking to his people. My translator, in the back, he's translating what he's saying and he's crying, Ezra's. He's crying.

• 1:13:14Speaker 03

  Oh my god. Dude.

• 1:13:16Patrick Bet-David?

  And he can't even see him, he's just hearing him, he's in tears crying. Rob doesn't even know what he's saying, Rob's crying.

• 1:13:22Speaker 03

  Dude.

• 1:13:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob is sitting in front of me, I'm looking at Rob, I'm a cold, I'm telling you, this is, by the way, this, this, this thing, this is gonna be, I can't wait for the world to see this interview. It's, it's by far, my top 10 favorite interviews I've ever done in my life, and I don't want to rank, I have to see it myself again, and you know, the list of people. I cannot wait for the world to see this, because I think, Brazil desperately needs hope today, and the way they have it set up with Supreme Court, House, and Senate, they need God's help, God willing, Musk, Trump, others can help as well. I would love to see, I would love to go back to Brazil when there's the inauguration of him, and we go back.

• 1:14:04Speaker 03

  I think you will be, I'm coming with you.

• 1:14:06Patrick Bet-David?

  We'll go together, bro.

• 1:14:08Speaker 03

  Bro, listen to me right now, I'm telling you right now, I'm ending every one of my shows, tears.

• 1:14:14Speaker 03

  Okay, you know what I'm saying, and my next special, you know what my next special is called? Unfuck.

• 1:14:20Speaker 03

  Why is it violent? Un, what is it, Unflappable?

• 1:14:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Unflappable. Undiable.

• 1:14:25Speaker 03

  Undiable.

• 1:14:26Patrick Bet-David?

  None of them are words.

• 1:14:27Speaker 03

  None of them are words.

• 1:14:28Patrick Bet-David?

  None of them are words.

• 1:14:29Speaker 03

  He made up his own words and then tears.

• 1:14:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's, it's hilarious, man, it's hilarious.

• 1:14:33Speaker 03

  But that is, that is, that is incredible, that must have been like, that's, like, if you're gonna cry over something, that's what you cry over, right?

• 1:14:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Brother, when you see this thing, you'll see, I mean, it's gonna come, we can't wait for it. Okay, next story, Trump calls for Ukraine to hold elections to potentially replace Zelensky, as he takes swipe at President Bolsonaro's rating, New York Post, Rob, go ahead and play this clip.

  Thank you. Yes.

• 1:16:06Speaker 14

  We're hearing that Russia wants to force Ukraine to hold new elections in order to sign any kind of a peace deal. Is that something that the US would ever support?

• 1:16:15Speaker 06

  Well, we have a situation where we haven't had elections in Ukraine, where we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine, where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I hate to say it, but he's down at 4% approval rating, and where a country has been blown to smithereens. You got, most of the cities are laying on their sides. The buildings are collapsed. It looks like a massive demolition site. The whole, I mean, so many of the cities. I mean, they haven't done it in Kiev because I guess they don't want to shoot too many rockets in there. They've done it 20%, but they haven't done it 100%. If they wanted to do it 100%, it would probably happen very quickly. But you have cities that are absolutely decimated.

• 1:17:00Speaker 06

  And yeah, I would say that, you know, when they want a seat at the table, you could say the people have to, wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say like, you know, it's been a long time since we've had an election? That's not a Russia thing. That's something coming from me and coming from many other countries also. You know, Ukraine is being just wiped out. Look at what's happening to the cities. There are cities, there's not even a building standing. It's a massive, you talk about Gaza. I mean, it's literally, these cities look like Gaza.

• 1:17:35Speaker 05

  Okay, so Vinnie, thoughts? Well, first of all, the honeymoon is over, okay? And I'm so freaking happy. I'd love, don't you love those sayings?

• 1:17:45Speaker 06

  I like that.

• 1:17:46Speaker 05

  I got it from you. It's about damn time somebody said it. I mean, he's been running. It's been a money laundering scheme this entire time. Remember, remember when it first started, Tom? The pins and everybody was pro-Ukraine and who was it that sat here that said F-Ukraine? And they knew from the beginning what the hell was going on. Pat, was it, was it, I don't think it was Candace. It was the girl from England, I think. Remember? It was Candace. It was Candace. And then another one that was getting into it with Adam, the girl from England. Katie Hopkins. Katie Hopkins. That was like, we're gonna spend almost a trillion and you were like, we're not gonna, we're at $350 billion. Okay, let's go back to Trump's first impeachment. It was about Biden's corruption in Ukraine. Do you remember that, Tom? When Hunter Biden was sitting on Burisma?

• 1:18:26Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 1:18:27Speaker 05

  And remember, they were, the big guy made the billions and they kept the money flowing to Zelensky and all that stuff.

• 1:18:33Tom Ellsworth?

  And at that same time, Zelensky came, was allowed to speak at the pulpit of honor in our Capitol building.

• 1:18:38Speaker 05

  Thank you.

• 1:18:38Tom Ellsworth?

  And then turns behind himself and unfolds a Ukrainian flag that Nancy Pelosi helped him hold up.

• 1:18:45Speaker 05

  Yep. I remember, I remember that. And dude, and I just said it, Adam. $350 billion, no receipts, no accountability, $120 billion, I didn't even get the money. It's, you want to talk about Doge 2.0 from overseas? Enough is enough and I'm so happy. Mind you, that attitude from Trump, Brian, it's over. And Russia's been, on the 19th, Putin, I sent the clip to him. Putin's like, yo, we're ready to talk and we wanna piece it up. But dude, the money is in war. All these rhinos, all these Lindsey Grams that are like, that's the most important thing that's happening. Bullshit. They wanna freaking stop it, we need to stop it. And I'm just tired of it, bro. I'm tired of giving these guys 350, we're worrying about social security, a couple of people losing it.

• 1:19:29Speaker 05

  350 billion dollars, you know what that is? That's a lot of money.

• 1:19:32Speaker 03

  But actually, the, the, the hidden thing that people don't talk about is when you give this aid to Ukraine, American companies are actually making those goods and services. So a lot of this supports the American economy. So I'm not even talking about that. Did you ever think, let me ask you a question. We talk about sending aid, so we send materiel, we send supplies. Did you ever think about what happens when that aid gets to the airport and is unloaded? Do you know? Do you guys know what?

• 1:20:03Speaker 05

  Our stuff there?

• 1:20:04Speaker 03

  Think about it. So we send a bunch of stuff. Radios, guns, ammunition, whatever it is. MREs, where does it go? What happens? Do you know? Cause I'm gonna tell you. So nobody ever, nobody asks this question, we send it. When it lands at the airport, there are trucks waiting to get that stuff, to take it to the front lines. That's not where it goes. Those trucks, tho- those, that, all those supplies are already divvied out by who? By the people that run different quadrants of Ukraine. Gangsters. And guess where that goes? It goes into their warehouses. So all that, all that aid goes into warehouses first.

• 1:20:47Speaker 03

  And they've already, they've already met in a church and talked about who gets what. And that goes into a warehouse. And then, then the front lines get to buy it. And guess, get, guess who, what groups get the aid first? The ones that prove their loyalty to Zelensky. More than the next guy. Do you understand? You know who told me that? CIA guys told me that. That's what happens. Nobody ever asks, where does that aid go? When it goes there, there's a whole system. It's not going to the front lines. And oh, by the way, if you did a percentage on what actually gets to the front lines, the people that really need it, it would make you cry. It's probably 10%.

• 1:21:32Speaker 03

  The rest of it sits in warehouses to be sold to everybody else.

• 1:21:34Patrick Bet-David?

  And Tom, I want to come to you on this story. And the reason, and Rob, I want you to prepare the clip of President Trump talking about, hey, we got to get some of the share of all these revenues from the minerals that you guys got, if you can prepare that clip. But I'm going to come to Tom. Tom, so story comes out and you share this with us. Most Americans say US foreign aid is wasted on corruption. Okay, this is Daily Caller. Now Americans are going there, right? And Trump demanding that, up like a rocket, CNN's Harry Enton says a large chunk of Americans think US has been far too generous to Ukraine. This wasn't the case two and a half years ago. That's the case today. Rob, play this clip first of the, which one is this, Rob?

• 1:22:17Patrick Bet-David?

  So I have both Harry Enton and I also have Trump. Play the Harry Enton and then go to Trump and I'll go to Tom.

• 1:22:24Speaker 15

  Holy Toledo, look at this trend line here. US support for Ukraine is too much. Back when the war began, back in February of 2022, it was just 7%. Up like a rocket ship, my goodness. Up now in February of 2025 to 41%. And the clear majority of Republicans, and of course, Republicans are in charge of the US government now, 62% of Republicans say that the US support for Ukraine is too much. What a difference from just three years ago. I can remember, John, all those backyards, the United States with those Ukrainian flags. Far fewer of them today, as Americans' opinions on Ukraine have changed dramatically.

• 1:23:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, no, he's saying like including Democrats. They're saying, dude, we're done with this thing. Everybody's against it now. And then Rob, if you can play, was this with Zelensky's? No, it's fine. Go to the one with Trump, go for it.

• 1:23:12Speaker 11

  We don't get our money back. And we told them that the deal is we'll do something for the rare earth and some oil, et cetera, et cetera. And that'll be all right. And they agreed to it, more or less. And then Scott Besson actually went there. And was treated rather rudely because essentially they told him no and Zelensky was sleeping and unavailable to meet him. He traveled many hours on the train, which is a dangerous trip. And we're talking about the Secretary of the Treasury. He went there to get a document signed.

• 1:23:46Adam Sosnick?

  That's pure disrespect.

• 1:23:47Speaker 05

  Just respect, 100%.

• 1:23:48Adam Sosnick?

  And by the way, we knew he was there and I'll tell you why.

• 1:23:51Speaker 03

  But can we at least say though, guys, that let's not forget that Russia did invade? And, and, and, and did it with their military. Let's not be apologist to Putin either.

• 1:24:01Speaker 05

  No, but what, but here's the question. Why? Why, why, why did he do it? Why did he do it on the Biden? And why did Joe Biden, when they asked him the question? He said this, Brian, and there's a clip. He goes, well, they could do a minor incursion. He welcomed them to go.

• 1:24:14Speaker 03

  Who said that?

• 1:24:15Speaker 05

  But Joe Biden did. You could find, you could find the clip, bro. He basically invited, but, but Brian, at the end of the day, this was what they pushed Putin to do this. I'm not an apologist for him, but the guy's been saying.

• 1:24:25Speaker 03

  Let me see your passport, bro.

• 1:24:26Speaker 05

  The, the guy's been saying for a while, like, bro, he doesn't want, they, they're pushing him to do this shit. And if you think about it.

• 1:24:31Speaker 03

  Vinny, I get it. You're a Putin puppet. You're a Putin puppet. He's got, he's got, I can hear the accent. Unbelievable.

• 1:24:36Speaker 05

  The, the, the, I'm sorry.

• 1:24:38Speaker 03

  I told you. I can smell vodka on his breath, clearly.

• 1:24:41Speaker 05

  Be honest. Did they have, did they ever have a chance of winning this war? Zero. Absolutely zero. And how many, how many soldiers, how many Ukrainian families are never going to see their freaking family? Their fathers or their...

• 1:24:54Adam Sosnick?

  But it's not like, it's not like Ukraine started the war. What do you mean?

• 1:24:57Speaker 05

  No, I didn't say they started.

• 1:24:58Adam Sosnick?

  The fact that, that Russia hasn't already won the war is the most incredible thing ever.

• 1:25:03Speaker 03

  Look, the argument would be, look, they, what they did in Chechnya, what they did to Georgia, what they've always done, the, the Russian bear is, is not somebody to apologize for. Look at Afghanistan, et cetera.

• 1:25:15Speaker 05

  But I'm not apologizing, but look at us too. We do, we, we bomb and kill a lot of people too.

• 1:25:20Speaker 03

  We probably could have really made them pay a price if we had armed the Ukrainians right away. Uh, in the beginning of this war. That would be the argument. I don't know. I don't, I don't, I don't follow it up.

• 1:25:32Adam Sosnick?

  Tom, your thoughts on this?

• 1:25:33Tom Ellsworth?

  The question that you asked me, Pat, was about Americans and how they feel. Most Americans, so there's a survey comes out, done by the Financial Times, and I looked it up, and it was, it's a fair survey. 60% of people in the survey said that foreign aid is wasted. Wasted. My tax dollars are wasted. The only way, now let's assume 10% of the Republicans that would be in the survey, which would be 46%, let's take four points off. So only seeing 90% of Republicans because 4% are just war-loving rhinos. Okay, 44. That means to get to 60%, you gotta have 18 points coming from Democrats, which means a unified

• 1:26:14Tom Ellsworth?

  America is coming together, thanks to Doge shining the flashlight on the bottom of the rock, and we can see all the bugs, and the mud, and the goo, and we're saying, "Oh my gosh, this is so wasteful, this is so terrible." And then you go look at Harry Enten. Harry Enten, it's like, it's like aneurysm week at CNN. Every time he goes to that board, and starts pointing to things, whoever's the victim, if you ever noticed, Brian, they always have some anchor come up, stand next to him, and nod, just nod for a minute, and all of a sudden you can see them shifting their weight, and they're wrinkling their forehead, and they say, "Look, she's gonna have an, that's a 50% aneurysm, here it comes." Yep. And then they go. And Harry pointed out, it went from 2%, 7%, all the way up to

• 1:26:55Tom Ellsworth?

  here, guess what? You shine a flashlight on it, Americans see it, Americans realize it, and this is the benefit of Doge, and this is then, hang on, Donald Trump saying, "Okay, we all agree it's wasteful, and now, um, more people than ever think it's been way too generous to Ukraine. You know what? I want to get something for this." And you know what I, because I know it's corrupt. You know what I want? I want rare earth. Same thing I want from Greenland, because I'm gonna help the United States not get checkmated by China on rare earth minerals. And he's making deals to get rare earth minerals in Greenland, get rare earth minerals from...

• 1:27:33Speaker 03

  Ukraine, and we're going to see at the end of this, how the story ends, that Trump was three steps ahead. Because this is the stuff we need to be competitive on EVs and other things. And he's going to make sure that we're not stuck with China checkmating the world and the mining in Greenland, and getting something, getting nothing for something in Ukraine. Now, we're going to go back and say, no, no, no, no, no, you're going to dig that crap up, and we're going to take it. And that's the way we're going to do this. And you're going to help pay us back.

• 1:28:01Speaker 05

  But, but a war, by the way, and I don't, okay, who started it, who, whatever, dumping $350 million and having all of our congressmen wearing pins and celebrating and kissing his ass, bro? And nobody, by the way, this whole, and I know what people say, that the Putin apologists bullshit. Okay, he starts wars and he does stuff. What about us? What about Iraq? What about Afghanistan? What about Syria? We all, we are one of the biggest ones that do it. I'm just, Bill, they're trying to push Ukraine to get into NATO. He doesn't want missiles and shit lining up around his country. He's fighting for his country.

• 1:28:32Speaker 03

  I think what Trump also is good at, though, is when he comes to the negotiating table, he'll hit you with an outrageous claim, and then we'll scale it back from there.

• 1:28:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:28:41Speaker 03

  Right? Like, that's, don't, don't, by the way, don't take him at face value every time. When he comes out of the gate, sometimes, he comes out hard and strong and outrageous, knowing that you're going to counter, and this is how we negotiate. And at the end of the day, Biden couldn't get a peace on the books. I'm telling you, this guy, at the end of the day, is probably going to achieve this peace. And that's better than having this war rage on. And, and, and so, and that's, this is what he does. He's colorful. Final thoughts?

• 1:29:09Adam Sosnick?

  Hunter, Hunter sure got a piece.

• 1:29:11Speaker 03

  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, with Burisma, right?

• 1:29:14Adam Sosnick?

  Do I agree with most Americans that probably a lot of this foreign aid is corrupt and wasteful and abusive? Sure, great, but let's not take our, throw out the baby with the bathware you talk about. Let's not take our eye off the prize. Just first topic we talked about today, there's a big difference between millions, billions, and trillions. What percentage of our, of our federal budget do we spend on foreign aid? Do you know? 1%.

• 1:29:37Speaker 03

  Correct.

• 1:29:38Adam Sosnick?

  1%.

• 1:29:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's right.

• 1:29:40Adam Sosnick?

  Well, that's a retarded comment.

• 1:29:41Speaker 05

  No, it's not retarded.

• 1:29:42Adam Sosnick?

  Because we still need to have soft power around the world.

• 1:29:43Speaker 03

  We do. We need development.

• 1:29:45Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, we can't just like, oh, ostrich, that's what we do. We're freaking American.

• 1:29:48Speaker 03

  He's Mr. Russia.

• 1:29:49Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I'm a Mr. Russia. What's going on, apologist over here?

• 1:29:51Speaker 03

  Russia.

• 1:29:52Adam Sosnick?

  But the point is, okay, we can have a conversation of what we want to do with this 1%. Sure, is it wasteful, is it abusive? Let's look at the 99%. So I gave this analogy before. We're, we're deeply in debt, we're hemorrhaging money as a family, let's say, and your rent is $7,000 a month, and you really should be spending $3,000 a month. And you and me are arguing whether we should cancel the Netflix subscription or have Amazon Prime.

• 1:30:19Speaker 03

  Right. For 17 bucks.

• 1:30:21Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly. It's freaking irrelevant. Focus on the $7,000 versus the $3,000 rent, and then we'll figure out what we want to do.

• 1:30:30Speaker 05

  Can we choose? We could, we could, we could, hold on, we could do it all because we're finding out hundreds of billions, hold on, hold on, hundreds, hundreds of billions of dollars, he doesn't know where the hell they are, and there's veterans in our street. No, no, no. 1% to me isn't just, eh, who gives a shit?

• 1:30:44Adam Sosnick?

  If you were, if you were, if you were broke, answer this question legit, broke.

• 1:30:49Speaker 05

  Yes, okay.

• 1:30:50Adam Sosnick?

  And you were spending $7,000 a month in rent.

• 1:30:53Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:30:54Adam Sosnick?

  When you should be spending 3,000, and also, you have Netflix and Amazon Prime, and I'm like, Vinny, you're broke, what do you do first?

• 1:31:03Speaker 03

  Look, look, look, Vinny, Vinny, 36 trillion dollar debt. A trillion seconds is 32,000 years. Let me say it again. A trillion seconds. So our debt right now, I think, is 36 trillion dollars. That's That is, is that three, what is that? So it's a thousand billion for a trillion.

• 1:31:24Adam Sosnick?

  It's just a whole lot of zeros.

• 1:31:26Speaker 03

  Thirty-six thousand, seven hundred billion. Okay, so there you go.

• 1:31:29Adam Sosnick?

  So the point is, you focus on the big ass number.

• 1:31:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, which they are.

• 1:31:33Adam Sosnick?

  That's weighing you down, not the seven dollars a month.

• 1:31:36Speaker 05

  I, I think we could do both, because, what, guess what? The people in North Carolina with the hurricane, trust me, they're worrying about that one percent that could be going into their pocket. Because three hundred and fifty billion is almost half a trillion. If we didn't stop, if Trump and them haven't tried to stop these assholes, they'd, they'd go for a trillion. He'd be, he'd be a trillion.

• 1:31:52Adam Sosnick?

  Let me, let me use this another way. I love the vein in his eye, that's when you know.

• 1:31:55Speaker 05

  Fucking America first.

• 1:31:56Adam Sosnick?

  Let me, let me say this another way. Let's say you had a heart attack.

• 1:32:00Speaker 05

  I get your analogies, I get it.

• 1:32:02Adam Sosnick?

  I don't think you do, Vinny.

• 1:32:03Speaker 05

  No, Adam, I'm America first, I don't want money to anybody.

• 1:32:06Adam Sosnick?

  Just hear me out.

• 1:32:07Speaker 05

  Okay, you're not gonna.

• 1:32:08Adam Sosnick?

  And as you're falling down, as you're falling down, you get a paper cut on your finger. And you're like, can we fix both? I'm like, let's start with the heart attack, Vinny.

• 1:32:19Speaker 05

  They're doing it all.

• 1:32:19Adam Sosnick?

  You're like, we could do the paper cut.

• 1:32:21Speaker 05

  Doge is doing it all, so let them do it all, but the one percent, to hell with that. I want it for America. Does that, I, I don't care about everything.

• 1:32:26Adam Sosnick?

  You just Venmo'd Russia money, I just saw you do it. Focus on the heart attack, Vinny, not the paper cut, buddy.

• 1:32:31Speaker 05

  These analogies aren't gonna, I'm, I'm America first.

• 1:32:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, guys.

• 1:32:34Adam Sosnick?

  Vinny's fixing his paper cut while he died. Somebody get him a Band-Aid, guys. Somebody get him a Band-Aid.

• 1:32:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's move on, let's move on to the next story, a little bit more of a lighter story. The real reason Elon Musk's newest baby mama chose to go public.

• 1:32:45Adam Sosnick?

  Come on, this is good, I like this. Come on, baby.

• 1:32:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Hang on, I'm just reading, I'm reading the story here, so. So Ashley St. Clair, a twenty-six-year-old conservative influencer, publicly revealed on Valentine's Day that she had a baby with Elon Musk, claiming she had been forced to reveal her secret due to tabloid media probing her personal life. However, Kylie Kramer, director of MAGA group Women's America First, alleged, ex that St. Clair. Went public because she was trying to elicit a reaction from dad after Musk ignored her messages. Seems like she wasn't getting what she wanted. Was emotionally hurt on Valentine's Day and decided to parade her crazy on the front porch thinking people would be sympathetic to her as a victim of powerful wealthy man.

• 1:33:28Patrick Bet-David?

  She pointed out that Sinclair's claim of media intrusion was contradicted by her inviting the media to capture it. In a New York Post interview completed with a photo show on luxury apartment in Manhattan apartment. Brian, Sinclair's spokesperson rejected crime's claims as ridiculous and wrong stating Claire Ashley recalls one phone call with Miss Kramer years ago. At a brief meeting where she was highly critical of Miss Kramer's ideas and Miss Kramer appear appears to be carrying a grudge. Okay. Callan, what thoughts you have on this here? Are you following it or?

• 1:33:59Speaker 03

  She's, she's, I mean, look, she's 26. That's so wonderfully creepy. I mean, when you're, is he in his 50s? God bless Elon Musk. Man, when you have that kind of money.

• 1:34:09Speaker 07

  53, yeah.

• 1:34:10Speaker 03

  Listen, she's, uh, bring her up for a sec. I don't know what to say about that. Yeah, she's a beautiful woman.

• 1:34:16Adam Sosnick?

  Do you know who she is?

• 1:34:17Speaker 03

  I don't, I don't. Very pretty. Uh, I don't have any idea, dude. I don't know how to make sense of this. I guess he had a kid with her and then they were outing her and then she basically, uh.

• 1:34:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, what are your thoughts on this?

• 1:34:31Speaker 03

  I'm the wrong guy to ask.

• 1:34:32Adam Sosnick?

  If you're gonna get pregnant. I don't know if I'm the right guy to ask on this. I guess what, what is the concern? What is the questions? Um, and maybe I can help.

• 1:34:40Speaker 03

  Well, I want to know what's going on. Is he, why is he, why did he block her?

• 1:34:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Some people were relieved she said it was. Did he block?

• 1:34:46Speaker 03

  That's what the rumor is.

• 1:34:47Adam Sosnick?

  Let, let me just give, give one piece of information and then feel free to ask questions. Uh, I, uh, am friends with Ashley.

• 1:34:55Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:34:55Adam Sosnick?

  I've known Ashley for quite some time. Uh, and I think she's a great person. So whatever you want to know, that I do know.

• 1:35:03Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you, well, give us the tea. I mean, we're here.

• 1:35:06Adam Sosnick?

  I'm not here to give any, I'm not here to give any tea.

• 1:35:08Speaker 03

  She's a beautiful, intelligent woman.

• 1:35:10Patrick Bet-David?

  So let's see this here. So this is a response. What is it? So what is the previous Rob? What is, what is he saying whoa to?

• 1:35:17Speaker 07

  I'm not sure. This was her response to Elon Musk and everybody saying she was trying to get Elon Musk's attention and the entire release of the information regarding her being pregnant with his baby was because he was ignoring her calls. So she went public with it on Twitter. I believe, I cannot confirm this, but I'd have to look, uh, further into it. I believe the tweet has been deleted that Ashley put up.

• 1:35:38Speaker 03

  Wait, was that it? Wait, hold on. So she, I think, is this her tweet? Elon, we have been trying to communicate for the past several days and you have not responded. When are you going to reply to us?

• 1:35:47Speaker 05

  Us.

• 1:35:48Speaker 03

  Instead of publicly responding to smears from an individual who just posted photos of me in underwear at 15 years old?

• 1:35:55Speaker 05

  Whoa.

• 1:35:55Speaker 03

  Whoa.

• 1:35:55Speaker 05

  Whoa.

• 1:35:56Speaker 03

  Whoa. Who did that?

• 1:35:58Adam Sosnick?

  So that's, that's at least a little proof that they're in touch. How about that?

• 1:36:01Speaker 05

  Oh, oh, yeah, they're in touch.

• 1:36:03Speaker 03

  But she, but she kinda went to Twitter to get in touch with him or something.

• 1:36:06Speaker 05

  But I mean, think about it. If you're, if you're hooking up with Elon Musk, I mean, what's that, a picture of them together?

• 1:36:11Speaker 07

  Yes, this is apparently from, I believe, 2023 or 2024 when the first two met.

• 1:36:16Adam Sosnick?

  Interesting.

• 1:36:17Speaker 03

  Alright, alright, well.

• 1:36:18Adam Sosnick?

  So what, what are the facts or what do you, what do you think is actually happening? I guess, what's the concern here? Is there any doubt that?

• 1:36:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, are you her lawyer? It's just, do you have thoughts on it? If you have thoughts, say it. If you don't have thoughts, we can move on on the story. All I'm saying with this is to me, when I'm seeing something like this, I don't know what the big deal is. If a powerful man is attracted by beautiful women. That's been the case for a couple thousand years, guys. The case study is there, okay? And typically, you know, an Elon who has a lot of kids, he wants to have a lot of kids. This would be the 13th, right? And would a person like that, as smart as he is, do you think he would have a structure of how people? Like, I remember one time I met a guy, very wealthy guy, who had a lot of kids. Wanted to have nothing to do with the responsibility of being a father.

• 1:37:09Adam Sosnick?

  That's terrible.

• 1:37:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. He had 20 kids and he had a very arranged, a, a contract that was written and he pays them a certain amount of money and they have the kid. And he sees the kid, but that was a responsibility. Elon, you're always seeing him with his kid. You're seeing with the kid on the shoulder and all the stuff that he's got while he's different places. Maybe he wanted to have a kid with her. Maybe they had the conversation. Maybe he is, is he, Rob, he's still following her or he's not following her?

• 1:37:33Speaker 07

  The reports are that he unfollowed her, but I can't substantiate that through any type of credible news source. It's just people on Twitter stating that.

• 1:37:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I had a chance to, she was at the Menact event and she was very sweet. Uh, uh, we, when we had the conversation together, she was, uh, I, I think we had a couple of exchanges at the Manact event. I know you guys were talking a lot together as well. But in a i- issue like this, if some people are saying, wow, you know, uh, conservative, you claim you're conservative, this, this, this and that. You had all these kids. Other people are saying, hey, leave them alone. If they had a kid, it's their business. Celebrate. Anytime somebody has a kid, you should just say congratulations, et cetera, et cetera. Wherever you stand there, that's your opinion, Adam.

• 1:38:12Adam Sosnick?

  Sure. Well, let me just give a little information here. So, um, in my opinion, uh, Elon Musk is definitely the father. Um, I think more truth is going to come out. Uh, is anyone surprised that Elon, who already has a baker's dozen kids, maybe wants more? Uh, in my opinion, I think Elon Musk is literally going to try to repopulate the planet, probably go for a hundred kids. We'll see about that. Uh, in this situation right now, a lot of people are calling her a liar. In my opinion, she's definitely not lying. Uh, the kid exists. Yeah. Um, they've, in my opinion, definitely had a relationship for sure. Um, uh, what? I would speculate is there's, there's a few major parties here. There's Elon.

• 1:38:57Adam Sosnick?

  There's her, there's obviously a baby, and then there's an entire team of lawyers that, if you can believe it or not, are forcing her to probably sign something she doesn't want to sign or do something that she doesn't want to do. I'm sure. Uh, because they have vested interest in him. Sure. What I know about Ashley, and this is based on, uh,

• 1:39:22Adam Sosnick?

  just personal experience, if there's one thing she cares about, it's being a mother. She already has another son. She has a kid. And I know that she takes pride in that. She just gave birth to a, another son. She's a class act too, right? She's, uh, the son of, I believe, is five months. Yeah. She's a smart, talented, classy, awesome, cool girl. There's a reason that Elon Musk was attracted to her. I don't know the reason that Elon or whatever the team are denying this. Feel free to speculate. I'm gonna say this. But I can tell you one last thing. Yeah. There's one thing I can guarantee, she's not a gold digger.

• 1:39:58Speaker 05

  But if you're having sex with the world's richest man with no condom, you know what you're doing. Let's not play that game. If you're hooking up with Elon Musk, hold on, were you dating him for love, a future? Let's just be honest, if you're, if you're an adult, 26 years old, and you're having sex with the richest guy on the planet ever, are you gonna go, "Hey, you wearing that condom?" No, because if you have a team and lawyers and everything, that's a, that could be.

• 1:40:24Adam Sosnick?

  How many women in the world? How many women in the world, when they get a DM from Elon Musk that says, "Sup", don't respond.

• 1:40:33Speaker 05

  I didn't say not respond. Having sex with no condom and then dealing with this? I mean, not a serious.

• 1:40:39Speaker 03

  If he's gonna pay my mortgage, he doesn't have to wear a condom with me.

• 1:40:42Adam Sosnick?

  I'm just saying.

• 1:40:43Speaker 03

  I'm a businessman, Patrick.

• 1:40:45Adam Sosnick?

  That's on the dude. Whether it's Elon Musk, or whether it's Drake, whether it's LeBron, whoever it is, if you're the guy, and you're choosing to have sex with a beautiful girl.

• 1:40:55Speaker 03

  Can I just say something? Can I say something? As a guy, as a guy, it's great you're trying to populate the earth. As a guy who has four children, being a father is more important. And if you don't, I don't know how you have time to father 13 kids. So, sometimes a little criticism, you know, toward these guys might, might be appropriate. Like, you're having 13 kids, Nick Cannon, all these guys? Like, I'm sorry, that's, that's the one thing I can't respect. You got children, bro. Raise your kids. My kids, my four kids, all that matters is that I'm a good father. I don't have time. I don't know how you have time with that, you know? 13 kids? Come on, man.

• 1:41:31Speaker 05

  And let's be honest, whose responsibility is it? You said it's a guy's responsibility to put on a condom. Men, the majority of guys, don't ever want to wear a condom. Who's like, "Hey, I'm gonna have sex, let me put rubber latex around my penis"? It's her responsibility.

• 1:41:48Speaker 05

  What do you mean? Because something's going inside of her, Adam. Oh, no guy wants to wear a condom? Are you kidding?

• 1:41:54Adam Sosnick?

  I didn't know it worked that way.

• 1:41:56Speaker 03

  Get a diagram, get a diagram. What's he talking about?

• 1:41:58Speaker 05

  Girl, hold on, you mean to tell me? You mean to tell me? The girl just goes like, "Oh, I trust you. I trust you, go ahead." It's a girl's responsibility to be like, "That's going inside of me." Put on a condom. It's Elon Musk. I'm pretty sure she was like, get every piece of rubber out of this room right now.

• 1:42:15Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, that, that, exactly. That's just proves the point that it's on the guy.

• 1:42:19Speaker 05

  I don't believe.

• 1:42:20Adam Sosnick?

  The person with the status in terms with the money.

• 1:42:22Speaker 05

  He can afford it.

• 1:42:23Adam Sosnick?

  To make that decision. Okay?

• 1:42:25Patrick Bet-David?

  There it is, buddy.

• 1:42:26Adam Sosnick?

  Do you saying that you don't use condoms? I don't know what you're saying right now.

• 1:42:28Speaker 05

  Column, column?

• 1:42:29Patrick Bet-David?

  He's saying, he's saying he's Russian.

• 1:42:31Adam Sosnick?

  Vinnie, if and when you lose your virginity, you maybe wanna, uh...

• 1:42:34Speaker 05

  That's it, that's it.

• 1:42:35Patrick Bet-David?

  That's why he's got that drip. Guys, we learned a lot about a lot of people. A lot, a lot. And I think most of it was about us. I'm horny. I'm really horny right now. It was nothing to do with Musk or Ashley St. Clair.

• 1:42:45Adam Sosnick?

  Ladies, watch out if Elon's in the room with you.

• 1:42:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Thank you for bringing it up. This segment is not sponsored by Trojan condoms. Because Vinnie's not a fan.

• 1:42:52Adam Sosnick?

  The men's view is over. Back to the podcast.

• 1:42:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas.

• 1:42:57Adam Sosnick?

  But if any billionaires wanna try to impregnate me, I'm open to anything you may or may not want.

• 1:43:03Speaker 05

  Pay my...

• 1:43:04Adam Sosnick?

  Men can get pregnant, apparently.

• 1:43:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Meanwhile, meanwhile, Kai. Bring us back. Be glad you're living in the States because in Germany, prosecutors tell 60 Minutes, it's a crime to insult people online as government raids offenders' homes. If you've not seen this clip, Rob, please, pull up this clip. Guys, this is disturbing, okay? Oh shit, we can't, right? Cause it's 60 Minutes. This has been the case, though. Ah, we cannot show it, Rob.

• 1:43:31Speaker 05

  We can dispute, we can play and dispute it because it is covered under fair use. So we should be fine to play it.

• 1:43:35Patrick Bet-David?

  What happened the last time, though? No, the last time the interview was taken down. Don't play it, Rob.

• 1:43:39Speaker 05

  Can I tell them, Pat, what happens in this video?

• 1:43:41Patrick Bet-David?

  So don't play this on the back. CBS gets really cranky. Show it to us and you actually say what's going on, Rob. Go ahead.

• 1:43:48Speaker 05

  So basically, this person that they're going into their apartment right now with CBS embedded in their uh, uh, police operation, this person posted something online that was apparently racist, okay? And by the way, who's to say? Cause they haven't showed it. They go in their house, bro. They confiscate everything. The cellphone, his, the plugs, the wire, uh, the, the computer, everything. And this person gets arrested for, for posting something. And then they ask the prosecutors, um, it's, it's an interview with... Every other lawyers, they go, so listen, um, if somebody says something, uh, they repost something online that you said that was mean and hurtful. He goes, yeah, you could go, you go to jail. He's like, in your face, you could, it's still bad, but you could like insult somebody, Brian, in their face.

• 1:44:32Speaker 05

  If you post something or you repost something that wasn't true or like a funny meme of somebody, you're going to jail.

• 1:44:38Speaker 03

  Actually, actually, there's a caveat to this.

• 1:44:40Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:44:40Speaker 03

  So in Germany, since World War II, after the Nuremberg Trials, the denial of, of the Holocaust or Nazi propaganda is what is punishable by jail. And this has been happening in Germany for a long time. This is not new. This is just a, a new story, but this has always been the law in Germany. Okay. And what, what, what probably happened here is this guy posted something that was pro-Nazi, Nazi paraphernalia, or the denial of the Holocaust. When you do that in Germany, since I think 1948, it has been illegal. And that's what, that's what's really going on.

• 1:45:19Speaker 05

  But they, but when they ask these prosecutors, they're like, so if somebody posts something that's not true, like, you know, sometimes we repost whatever X will say, you know, community posts. They, they were like, oh, no, you're going to jail.

• 1:45:29Speaker 03

  Right. Well, well, in, in, in England, people are in jail right now for posting what is considered, uh, things that incite violence towards immigrants. So if you say something like, I don't think these people should be in my country, you can go to jail.

• 1:45:43Speaker 05

  If Rob puts this on 1.5, uh, speed path, so last week at the Munich Security Conference, J D Vance was there and he just shit on every, sorry for my language, on all the European leaders, uh, he called them for stifling free speech and ignoring the real issues, uh, that their citizens are facing. Rob, if you put on 1.5, it'll get to the meat faster.

• 1:46:01Speaker 16

  I looked at Brussels, where EU commissars warned citizens that they intend to shut down social media during times of civil unrest. The moment they spot what they've judged to be, quote, hateful content. Or to this very country, where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting anti-feminist comments online as part of, quote, combating misogyny on the internet, a day of action. Arrest, that's it.

• 1:46:21Speaker 05

  This is where it goes.

• 1:46:22Speaker 16

  Where two weeks ago, the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in Quran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder. And as the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to supposedly protect free expression do not in fact grant, and I'm quoting, "a free pass to do or say anything without risking offending the group that holds that belief."

• 1:46:39Speaker 05

  Amazing.

• 1:46:40Speaker 16

  And look how unhappy they are. And perhaps most certainly, I look to our very dear friends, the United Kingdom, where the backslide away from conscience rights has placed the basic liberties of religious Britons in particular in the crosshairs. Ready for this? A little over two years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith Connor, a 51-year-old physiotherapist and an army veteran, with the heinous crime of standing 50 meters from an abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes. Silently praying? Not obstructing anyone, not interacting with anyone, just silently praying on his own. And after British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know what he was praying for, Adam replied simply, "It was on behalf of the unborn son. He and his former girlfriend had aborted years before." Wow, jail. Now, the officers were not moved. Adam was found guilty of breaking the government's new buffer zones law, which criminalizes silent prayer and other actions that could influence a person's decision within 200 meters of an abortion facility.

• 1:47:24Speaker 16

  He was sentenced to pay thousands of pounds in legal costs to the prosecution. Now, I wish I could say that this was a fluke, a one-off crazy example of a badly-written law being enacted against a single person, but no. This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within so-called "safe access zones," warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law.

• 1:47:43Speaker 05

  In your house?

• 1:47:44Speaker 16

  Naturally, the government urged readers to report any fellow citizen suspected guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe, free speech, I fear, is in retreat.

• 1:47:52Speaker 03

  Hey, by the way, you know who agrees with them? Most Europeans.

• 1:47:56Speaker 16

  Yes.

• 1:47:57Speaker 03

  You know who doesn't? The elites there.

• 1:47:59Speaker 16

  Of course.

• 1:48:00Speaker 03

  They were all really mad about it.

• 1:48:01Speaker 05

  Yeah, you're like, "Why was?" And you know what's crazy? The Europeans and stuff, they can't go online and express themselves about the situation. Because I go to jail!

• 1:48:06Speaker 03

  The German Defense Minister made a speech about how offensive that was.

• 1:48:10Speaker 05

  But you know what he does? He goes on, and he must have written this, as JD is shitting on all of them, he goes right here and he goes, "I couldn't, I cannot not talk about this situation." If he can't, but just the beginning of how he's mad.

• 1:48:23Speaker 03

  Because they're weaponizing free speech, he said.

• 1:48:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's what he says. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:48:26Speaker 17

  This is why I cannot just ignore what we heard before. I cannot not comment on the speech we heard by the US Vice President. "We fight for your right to be against us." That is the motto, one of the mottos of the Bundesländer, and it stands for our democracy.

• 1:48:50Speaker 17

  This democracy that was just called into question by the US Vice President, and not just the German democracy, but Europe as a whole. He spoke of the annulment of democracy. And if I understood him correctly, he compares the condition of Europe with the condition that prevails in some authoritarian regimes.

• 1:49:11Speaker 05

  Rob, you can stop it. And it's like, and you nailed it, Brian. People from Europe, I get the next from people from Canada, from all these different places. Everybody is complaining and complaining about what is going on. And dude, look at the UK with those Pakistani guys that were doing the gangs, that were doing whatever.

• 1:49:31Speaker 03

  Grooming gangs?

• 1:49:32Speaker 05

  You're grooming gangs. You can't talk about it. You can't point out what's happening. And if you go online and do it, they go to your house and go to jail. And could you imagine, Tom? We're Christians, we go to church, we pray. Imagine it being illegal to get on your hands and your... I'd be arrested because every single morning and every single night I pray. You can't pray silently in your house and it's illegal.

• 1:49:52Speaker 03

  The irony of what they do, the irony of these laws, is they are gonna usher in, or they are, they're gonna usher in extreme right-wing parties. That's how it happens. Because what happens is people go, "Really? You want to do this to me? I'm going with that guy." And so those guys inadvertently are gonna usher in an extremist government, if they're not careful. Or parties that are not exactly in the middle or nuanced in their thinking. So, you know. The left is always, never ceases to amaze me in how restricted they can be.

• 1:50:27Speaker 05

  Look.

• 1:50:27Speaker 03

  Free speech, guys. You know why you want free speech? You know why? Watch this. You're allowed to say whatever you want. Because guess what? You might change my mind. Or, if I disagree with you, it forces me to bolster... My position, it forces me to stress test why I believe what I believe. It's how we stay, it's how we grow, it's how we change our minds, and it's how we fortify the truth that we stand on. And if you don't have that stress test coming from, from you at all different angles, and you have parameters on speech, then you're never gonna, you're never gonna get honest. You're never gonna have an honest society.

• 1:51:05Adam Sosnick?

  You're absolutely right.

• 1:51:06Speaker 03

  Somebody write that down. I know.

• 1:51:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Run for office.

• 1:51:08Speaker 03

  You know what I'm saying?

• 1:51:09Patrick Bet-David?

  A comedian that ain't Ukraine, anyone?

• 1:51:11Speaker 03

  Right, can I get some background music when I, when I pontificate?

• 1:51:14Adam Sosnick?

  Callan, I love when you, I love when you go here, Miami, by the way, look at the pin that we're wearing right here. I don't think we understand in America.

• 1:51:20Speaker 03

  I don't know how to put it on.

• 1:51:21Adam Sosnick?

  No, you put that thing on right now, buddy.

• 1:51:23Speaker 03

  Bro, on my, on my, my semi jacket.

• 1:51:25Adam Sosnick?

  Look, even PBD has it on.

• 1:51:27Speaker 03

  I'm looking good, right, bro? Not bad.

• 1:51:29Adam Sosnick?

  PBD right here.

• 1:51:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Seven podcasts from a three-piece suit.

• 1:51:31Speaker 03

  This blue brings out the brown in my eyes, true or false?

• 1:51:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Would you actually wear a three-piece suit?

• 1:51:35Speaker 03

  For, for you?

• 1:51:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:51:36Speaker 03

  The next time I come here, I'm doing it.

• 1:51:38Patrick Bet-David?

  I'd love to see what you look like.

• 1:51:40Speaker 03

  It's progressing.

• 1:51:41Patrick Bet-David?

  I bet you look freaking money.

• 1:51:43Speaker 03

  Not bad, buddy.

• 1:51:43Adam Sosnick?

  Alright, good.

• 1:51:44Speaker 03

  Not bad.

• 1:51:44Adam Sosnick?

  It's getting better every time, you know?

• 1:51:45Patrick Bet-David?

  We're all wearing a three-piece suit.

• 1:51:46Speaker 03

  Okay, I'm in.

• 1:51:47Adam Sosnick?

  Well, look, PBD, born in Iran, made in America, how much free speech do the, do you have in Iran these days? How much?

• 1:51:54Patrick Bet-David?

  These days?

• 1:51:55Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, yeah, tell me about the beauty of free speech in Iran.

• 1:51:58Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:51:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Stop it.

• 1:51:59Adam Sosnick?

  There's a story here, we have it right here, someone was protesting, they can't find this kid anymore, we have no idea how freaking lucky we have it here, and we were losing it. We were losing it during COVID, and you know, I know we talked about Elon in the last segment, thank God that he bought Twitter for that 44 billion and he's running a, quote unquote, nonprofit these days. Do you know what percentage of the world, what countries actually have freedom of speech? I think it's 20%. I wanna see 30 to 40 countries out of what, 200 countries in the world, straight up have freedom of speech. And by the way, what we're talking about in Europe right now, those are the countries that have it, and it's teetering.

• 1:52:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Correct.

• 1:52:34Adam Sosnick?

  In most of the world, you don't have freedom of speech. Name a country in the Middle East, not name Israel, that you can have freedom of protest and freedom of assembly, freedom of speech. Uh, zero.

• 1:52:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 1:52:45Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, so everyone... What in African countries right here, we're seeing what's happening in Latin America. What just happened with Pat and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil? We just talked about right now, we have no idea how freaking lucky we have it. And according to our friend Chad GPT, 80% of the global population is living in countries where freedom of expression and freedom of speech is declining.

• 1:53:10Speaker 05

  Great.

• 1:53:10Adam Sosnick?

  Since COVID.

• 1:53:11Speaker 05

  Wow.

• 1:53:11Adam Sosnick?

  So it's not like it's like, yeah, we're getting better, y'all. So we have no idea how important when JD Vance goes up and gives a speech and sort of reprimands what's happening in Europe. It's like, pay attention, fellas, because you're actually the people we need to embrace freedom of speech, because if Europe loses it, what's next? This is why America's important, y'all.

• 1:53:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Y'all, okay. All right, well, thank you for that.

• 1:53:32Speaker 05

  Thanks, brother.

• 1:53:33Adam Sosnick?

  Hell, yeah.

• 1:53:34Patrick Bet-David?

  We're gonna keep steroids out of T-ball.

• 1:53:38Patrick Bet-David?

  I want steroids. I want, I want, I want home runs. So, so Rob, can you play this clip when they they're playing the national anthem, US versus Canada? Vinny, you're telling me this game was not a big deal of a game? The game that they're playing tonight?

• 1:53:50Speaker 05

  Oh, no, no. America beat their ass. Well, this, this, this, even though Canada lost in the black.

• 1:53:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Where is this game?

• 1:53:56Speaker 05

  This is in Canada.

• 1:53:57Patrick Bet-David?

  That's in Canada.

• 1:53:57Speaker 05

  This is in Canada.

• 1:53:59Patrick Bet-David?

  But where in Canada?

• 1:53:59Speaker 05

  I don't, if I want to say Thomas in Quebec, I don't, I don't.

• 1:54:03Adam Sosnick?

  We got some Middle Eastern or Syrian.

• 1:54:05Speaker 05

  Talking about Canadian hockey.

• 1:54:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Anthem and listen to the booze, folks. Go ahead, Rob.

  Oh, I get. And PBD, this is they, they're two seconds in, two seconds. They're like, we're gonna beat the shit out of each other.

• 1:55:23Patrick Bet-David?

  I've never wanted to watch a hockey game as much as I want to watch a game tonight. Alright, so by the way, pause this here. I sent a video clip. I watched this guy here, okay? He dismantles the NBA. And, and, but, but folks, for some of you guys, like, I could give a shit about sports. Just please let this man break down what he said about hockey and NBA. And Haslem is sitting on the bottom right, doesn't even say, like, he broke down exactly why nobody cares to watch the NBA. Do you know the All-Star game? How many people watched All-Star game? 4.6 million people watched the All-Star game. Wow. You know what's the second lowest? 2023. Do you know when Michael played, Rob? Can you pull up the clips of how many people watched the NBA All-Star game?

• 1:56:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Type in NBA All-Star game viewership history, okay? It's embarrassing what LeBron James and Adam Silver did to the game. Okay, go, go down to history. What's happening? What is it? Well, he's gonna explain it to you. You have to hear what he has to say. Put in history, Rob, and if you go a little bit lower, it'll show you the history ratings right there. Yeah, if you go a little bit lower and just kind of see, uh, uh, okay, look at, and by the way, this is only since 2000. Look what the number was in 03, 13.1 million, right? Do you know what it was in the 90s? Can you please, Rob, find 1992 NBA All-Star game viewership? 1992 NBA All-Star game viewership, okay? Watch this. Uh, man, I wish you could see.

• 1:56:48Speaker 05

  Charles Barkley, MJ, Isaiah Thomas.

• 1:56:50Patrick Bet-David?

  18.8 million in All-Star game. To 4 million. They've destroyed the league. It is the worst sport right now to own a stock in today. If they don't change it, it is the shittiest product right now of all the four sports. The shittiest product. And watch what this person eloquently breaks down why hockey is winning and why NBA today is embarrassing. Even though NBA has more viewership than hockey. Let this man explain it to you. I believe his name is PK Subin. Go for it, PK.

• 1:57:23Speaker 18

  You can't compare the cultures because of the way the game is played. You can step on an NBA floor and go through the emotions. You can't do that in hockey. You can't. Like, the culture of our sport, you have to play it with passion. You have to be willing to fight. You have to be willing to leave it on the ice. Watch this. That's what fans are investing in. So for us, when we charge $1,500 for a ticket to come to four, fans know what they're getting. Bingo. Kail McCarr, the best defenseman in the world, wasn't in the lineup for this game. This was the most viewed game that we've had in years. And you see it, it's not just based on the skill and talent. It's, it's based on the pride, honor, playing for the guy next to you.

• 1:58:08Speaker 18

  I got a question for the NBA players. Boom, look at him, has some space. What the hell are you playing for? What are you playing for? It's not about the money. You make all the money. What, you're injured? Well, there's a difference between being hurt and injured. Are you hurt or are you injured? There's a difference. He's talking about LeBron because LeBron didn't play the All-Star. Listen. We play injured. That is the culture of the sport. It's always been that way. So you want to talk about the business, the CBA, fans get all of that. But what do fans resonate with? They resonate with what's real. You gotta fight sometimes for your country. You gotta compete. You gotta go out there and leave it on the ice. That's the language. Because those people are paying the price of admission. So fans know whether our stars are on the ice or not, they're getting their money's worth. The NBA has that issue that they gotta work on.

• 1:58:53Speaker 18

  You gotta create a better culture for your players. It starts with the leaders. This issue, there was no issue when Jordan was around. That's right. There was no issue when Kobe was around. There's no issue when Sidney Crosby's around. There's no issue when Wayne Gretzky was around because those are true leaders. They lead by example. Go ahead and call this man racist. Sidney Crosby, Paco Canada, both landed in the U.S. It was the players that did that for the four nations. It's not the league. The league set it up, but the players went out there and decided and said, you know what, boys? We're all in. When is the NBA gonna do that? Because, you know, I haven't sat down and watched the NBA consistently since Kobe. I love basketball. Love the players. I think LeBron's great. I think KD's great. Steph Curry, love watching him. But, you gotta be on the court.

• 1:59:38Speaker 18

  You gotta be there, and when you're there, you gotta go all in. The fans gotta feel that they're getting their money's worth. And right now, there's a big difference between what the NHL's doing with those events and what the NBA's doing. Four nations works because the players are all in.

• 1:59:52Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 1:59:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Bam.

• 1:59:53Speaker 03

  Rob, is there any way?

• 1:59:54Patrick Bet-David?

  I just wanna clap for this guy. I send this to everybody. I'm like, "Good for you, buddy."

• 1:59:59Speaker 03

  See, I hear you're a basketball fan.

• 2:00:00Patrick Bet-David?

  I was a diehard fan of the game. I mean, I'm telling you, at the highest level, I never missed a game. They destroyed a great game because of politics, bullshit, and giving all the power to players. They forgot the fans are the number one customers.

• 2:00:14Speaker 03

  Right.

• 2:00:14Patrick Bet-David?

  NHL realizes it's the fans, NFL fans, MLB fans. NBA doesn't, NBA thinks the fans work for them. It's a complete disgusting mindset.

• 2:00:24Speaker 03

  When you see those guys come in and they're dressed, it's a fashion show now with the football players. Is this a new thing, or has that always been the case?

• 2:00:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Of fashion?

• 2:00:33Speaker 03

  Well, you see like Travis Kelce, he's dressed like a 70's pants.

• 2:00:37Adam Sosnick?

  No, no, "Walk in through the tunnel" is a new segment. It's a relatively new segment in the history of football.

• 2:00:41Speaker 03

  Is that reflective of the culture that's...

• 2:00:44Adam Sosnick?

  NFL or NBA?

• 2:00:45Patrick Bet-David?

  You're talking NFL. What I'm talking about specifically is what he's saying here with NBA product. NBA products, Rob, if you can find the All-Star game, you have to see. Nobody cares for the viewership.

• 2:00:57Speaker 03

  Is it the money? What's going on? What happened?

• 2:00:59Patrick Bet-David?

  I just told you, they've made it about the players.

• 2:01:01Speaker 03

  Right.

• 2:01:02Patrick Bet-David?

  And the players own everybody. The players have so much... And the other day, Draymond Green is saying like, "Yeah, you know, we got a very bad collective bargain agreement." What are you talking about? Your players don't even have to play, and the owners still have to pay the money to these guys. The owners are not protected. The fans are not protected. You know what? I'd love to take my kids to go see a good NBA game. I can't do it because it's a risk. You don't know who's gonna be at the game. You don't know who's gonna be playing.

• 2:01:27Speaker 03

  Really?

• 2:01:28Patrick Bet-David?

  No, you don't know who's gonna be playing.

• 2:01:29Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 2:01:29Patrick Bet-David?

  You have no idea who's gonna be playing.

• 2:01:30Adam Sosnick?

  Pat's absolutely right. It's a players-run league, and they're gonna pay the price. They already are paying the price. Think about this. Every other sport, football, helmet on your face. They don't even know what you look like. You could walk past a DB right now, you have no clue who that guy is. Hockey, helmet. Face mask, goalie, baseball, hat, helmet, basketball, look at this face. It's a players driven league, whereas every other league, it's all about the team. So what's more important, the front of the jersey or the back of the jersey? In the NBA, you better believe it's the back of the jersey. Every other team is the front of the jersey, right? So in the NBA, um, these guys, all the players have all have to say. So in the rest of these leagues, the ownership has way more, way more power.

• 2:02:15Adam Sosnick?

  So didn't we just talk a story the other day about how NBA owners are basically saying, I want to follow what the NFL owners are doing. So here's what's also happened with the NBA. And you're talking about leadership starts at the top. Ever since, um, who was the, the former David Stern? When David Stern died, what year did David Stern die? Twenty? Two thousand twenty. Okay. Since David Stern died and Adam Silver has taken over. Adam Silver is not a badass. He's not a tough guy. He's a nice guy and he's getting trampled on by LeBron. He's getting trampled on by KD and the players run the league and he answers to them. They don't answer to him.

• 2:02:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch, watch the stats here, Vinny. And I'm coming to you, zoom in, look at this. But zoom out a little bit so we can see the numbers, Rob. Go a little bit, okay, now keep sliding up. Watch this, twenty twenty four, five point four. This year was four point, four point six this year, four point five. Then watch, six, six, seven, six, seven, seven, seven, seven, eight, seven, nine, six, seven, six, six, seven, eight. This is all, and by the way, pull up when LeBron James got drafted. Pull up when LeBron James got drafted. What year did LeBron James get drafted? Watch this, two thousand three, go back to the stats, go back to the stats. Two thousand three is the last time they hit double digits. The year LeBron got elected, got drafted, from that year on, nobody's giving a shit about the All-Star game. The last time we had ten million plus, look at that number right there.

• 2:03:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Prior to that, thirteen million, thirty percent drop off, seven million, ten million, go lower, go lower. Look at that, seventeen million, ninety eight, last year, Michael. Seventeen million, seventeen million, fifteen million, thirteen million, nineteen ninety three, twenty-three million people watched the NBA All-Star game.

• 2:03:57Adam Sosnick?

  And it was a triple overtime.

• 2:03:59Patrick Bet-David?

  In nineteen ninety, it was only, it was thirteen million. The, the, the idea of how bad shitty entitled policies turns off customers. The moment Juan Soto. Said after the game was over with, when he said, are you willing to, you know, do this? What do you think about the pride of Yankees? I'm willing to take offers from everybody. The moment he said that, I don't have any decision making. I'm not a majority owner, I'm a minority guy.

• 2:04:29Patrick Bet-David?

  The moment he said that, I'm like, you know what? Do whatever you want to do, go wherever you want to go. You forget the pride of being a Yankee.

• 2:04:36Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 2:04:37Patrick Bet-David?

  You forget the pride of being a Yankee, you forget, and you look at how.

• 2:04:40Speaker 03

  Becomes too much of a business, huh?

• 2:04:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:04:41Speaker 03

  They're based there on islands.

• 2:04:42Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not even about the business part, you're all gonna make money. He is by far the most highest paid, overrated athlete of all time.

• 2:04:52Speaker 03

  Juan Soto?

• 2:04:52Speaker 05

  Already.

• 2:04:53Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no one's ever, the numbers you look at of what kind of money they pay this guy.

• 2:04:58Speaker 05

  It's astronomical.

• 2:04:59Patrick Bet-David?

  For, for a guy to get paid the biggest contract in the history of baseball with the stats that he put up? The stats are good.

• 2:05:05Speaker 05

  Yeah, he hits.

• 2:05:05Patrick Bet-David?

  These are not compared to the stats and the defense and all this other stuff. No way, and by the way, if he got 760 million, if Barry Bonds was alive today, playing with the numbers he was putting up? He, comparing him to Juan Soto, Barry Bonds would have deserved 2.5 billion dollars.

• 2:05:19Speaker 05

  I was gonna say, yes.

• 2:05:20Patrick Bet-David?

  That's how much better Barry Bonds was than this guy.

• 2:05:22Speaker 05

  For the sport, for the game, for everything.

• 2:05:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so anyways, for me, it's about the pride, look, they're gonna make a lot of money. The game's a great game and they deserve to make a lot of money because the teams are making a lot of money. But the NBA product absolutely sucks. All in all, you know what the message is? Tonight, Canada-US Boston. Tonight, Canada-US Boston.

• 2:05:39Speaker 03

  Well, my show, my show at the Miami Improv. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Well, I mean, no, I mean, hockey's fun, but Brian Callen for an hour?

• 2:05:47Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, forgive me.

• 2:05:48Adam Sosnick?

  Do you believe in miracles?

• 2:05:50Speaker 03

  You know what I'm saying?

• 2:05:51Adam Sosnick?

  Brian Callen is performing at the Miami Improv.

• 2:05:53Patrick Bet-David?

  How dare we even compare US against Canada?

• 2:05:56Speaker 03

  Maybe you'll come out, maybe you'll come out, for God's sake.

• 2:05:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you performing?

• 2:06:00Speaker 03

  I got.

• 2:06:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you performing tonight?

• 2:06:02Speaker 03

  Tonight, two shows tomorrow, two shows Saturday, take your pick. I roll out the red carpet, you come to the green room, we laugh, we hug.

• 2:06:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Do I get free, like, free water and like?

• 2:06:09Speaker 03

  You get, you get free, you get to laugh hard for at least an hour and 7 minutes.

• 2:06:13Adam Sosnick?

  Hang out in the green room at the Miami Improv.

• 2:06:16Speaker 03

  You've never seen me work.

• 2:06:17Speaker 05

  Just to clarify, the game, the first game was in Montreal and they were booing and Trudeau was in the. Audience, you know, alpha male Trudeau.

• 2:06:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you know, I'm almost in my mind thinking about finding a way to go to Boston tonight to be at that game. I want to go to this game. I'm just thinking, I haven't been in.

• 2:06:33Speaker 05

  It's going to be, it's, it's tonight at 8pm.

• 2:06:36Speaker 03

  Boston's gonna be crazy.

• 2:06:38Adam Sosnick?

  Didn't you take Dylan to the game seven of the Stanley Cup, uh, when they won the, uh, Florida?

• 2:06:43Speaker 05

  Too loud for him.

• 2:06:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Too loud. It was the loudest game I've been in my entire life.

• 2:06:50Speaker 03

  The Stanley Cup?

• 2:06:50Patrick Bet-David?

  The only thing comes closer is the Kentucky Derby. If you've never been to the Derby, have you ever been to the Derby in your life or no?

• 2:06:56Speaker 03

  No.

• 2:06:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you.

• 2:06:57Speaker 03

  No.

• 2:06:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you, it's the most unique sporting experience in your life.

• 2:07:05Speaker 03

  Really?

• 2:07:05Speaker 05

  That I've ever been to in my life.

• 2:07:07Speaker 03

  Pat, is there any room in the jet? I'm asking. Like I'm, like a friend, a friend. I'm home team.

• 2:07:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me just put it to you this way, the most ridiculous experience.

• 2:07:15Speaker 03

  Really?

• 2:07:16Speaker 05

  I've never.

• 2:07:16Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm telling you the most ridiculous experience.

• 2:07:18Speaker 03

  I'll bring a hat. I'll, I'll, I'll wear my suit. I'll wear a suit.

• 2:07:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Right. I had a pink jacket on last year.

• 2:07:23Speaker 03

  I swear to God, I'll wear a suit.

• 2:07:24Speaker 05

  Brian, I've been to Super Bowls, I've been to baseball, I've been to every sporting thing that you could think of. Nothing, this moment, just, just for that, how long is the race? It's a mile and a half, 97?

• 2:07:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Greatest two minutes of sports is what they call it.

• 2:07:36Speaker 03

  Two minutes?

• 2:07:36Patrick Bet-David?

  It's only two minutes. But those two minutes?

• 2:07:39Speaker 05

  Oh, it's sick.

• 2:07:40Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it's, you're gonna go, it's like nine races and then there's nine races the day before.

• 2:07:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:07:44Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a spec 150,000 people. We got the biggest suite, fifth floor, Minnetonka, March 4th. Put it in your calendar. Go to VTV webinar and register for it.

• 2:07:54Speaker 03

  Vinny, ask me if I can ride a horse.

• 2:07:55Speaker 05

  Hey, uh, Brian, uh, can you ride a horse?

• 2:07:58Speaker 03

  I can break a horse, brother.

• 2:07:59Speaker 05

  Oh, damn.

• 2:08:00Speaker 03

  That's sexy.

• 2:08:01Speaker 05

  Did you see that?

• 2:08:02Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, the first time I, uh, him and I met?

• 2:08:03Speaker 05

  What?

• 2:08:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Was at the Cavalier, Cavalier in Burbank.

• 2:08:08Speaker 05

  What was it?

• 2:08:09Patrick Bet-David?

  15 years ago. It was a horse show. Maybe more, yeah, maybe more.

• 2:08:13Speaker 05

  What were you guys doing there?

• 2:08:14Speaker 03

  We were, I had my kids. My daughter wanted, she was a horse.

• 2:08:18Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a sick show.

• 2:08:19Speaker 03

  The amount of money I spent on horses for my kid, my, my ex and my, my daughter who would ride horses. My accountant calls me and he goes, he goes, how's the album going? I go, what? He goes, how's the album? What's it like to play for all those people? I go. It's Brian Callen. I mean, I played for people and not that many goes, you're not a rock star? I go, no. He goes, well, then stop spending like these horses. You're gonna be broke.

• 2:08:40Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a good accountant.

• 2:08:41Speaker 03

  Bro.

• 2:08:41Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a good accountant.

• 2:08:42Speaker 03

  You know what he said to me? He goes, what kind of car do you want to drive? I said, what do you mean? He goes, for what you pay for these horses, what do you want? I go, what can I drive? He goes, pick anything. Pick any car. You could drive that car right now.

• 2:08:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow, no, it's an expensive sport.

• 2:08:52Speaker 03

  Bro.

• 2:08:53Patrick Bet-David?

  It's an expensive sport.

• 2:08:53Speaker 03

  It's so expensive.

• 2:08:54Adam Sosnick?

  Speaking of rock star, everyone and their mother was going up and taking pictures with Vinnie last year at the Kentucky Derby. Like, wow, this guy's famous. They thought he was a jockey. They're like, oh, this guy is a, this little, this little tiny guy.

• 2:09:06Speaker 05

  One guy was like, why aren't you putting on a suit? You gotta be on the horse. Yeah, they got, do people, I took a guy.

• 2:09:12Adam Sosnick?

  And he said, I break a horse.

• 2:09:15Speaker 05

  200 photos.

• 2:09:16Adam Sosnick?

  He's five foot three.

• 2:09:17Speaker 03

  Five foot three. Patrick, you ever ride a horse?

• 2:09:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 2:09:20Speaker 03

  You did?

• 2:09:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, so we're at the Hamptons summer, right? And we take the kids out to get on a horse. First of all, I put my, my, my daughter, uh, if I find this video.

• 2:09:29Speaker 05

  The horse looks at Pat and goes.

• 2:09:33Patrick Bet-David?

  So we get on this horse.

• 2:09:35Speaker 03

  My dad, same way.

• 2:09:36Patrick Bet-David?

  We get on the horse. And I'm like, I told my wife, I'm like, babe, if we're getting on a horse, 20 to 30 minutes is the limit.

• 2:09:43Speaker 03

  Is that a real picture of your body right there?

• 2:09:45Speaker 05

  Oh, look at this guy's jacked.

• 2:09:47Adam Sosnick?

  He just ate a horse right there.

• 2:09:49Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm 18 years old.

• 2:09:50Speaker 03

  Hold on.

• 2:09:50Speaker 05

  18, Pat?

• 2:09:52Speaker 03

  What are we talking about?

• 2:09:52Adam Sosnick?

  No steroids, no steroids.

• 2:09:54Speaker 03

  Bro.

• 2:09:55Patrick Bet-David?

  That's, that's nothing.

• 2:09:56Speaker 03

  That's some Syrian genetics, bro. That's, that's from generations of persecution.

• 2:10:02Adam Sosnick?

  You should see the pictures of Tom. There's Tom there on the left, bro. Right there.

• 2:10:09Speaker 03

  Hey, Patrick, you're a big boy. That's no joke.

• 2:10:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so.

• 2:10:14Patrick Bet-David?

  If I find this clip, man, it was so funny. So we go to the Hamptons and we're.

• 2:10:17Adam Sosnick?

  With Brooklyn.

• 2:10:18Patrick Bet-David?

  With Brooklyn. And this horse comes up and the moment the horse moves the neck a little bit, she was gone. By the way, we went on a horse ride for an hour and a half. It was an hour and 15 minutes too long. By the time we got off, one of my testicles, I couldn't have a kid anymore. My voice changed.

• 2:10:36Speaker 03

  Vinnie, where are we going?

• 2:10:38Patrick Bet-David?

  It was a complete.

• 2:10:39Adam Sosnick?

  Maybe we need to buy Elon Musk a horse.

• 2:10:42Patrick Bet-David?

  This was it. It was a great experience, but you will never.

• 2:10:45Speaker 03

  Relaxing about it.

• 2:10:46Patrick Bet-David?

  I will never do it for 90 minutes.

• 2:10:47Speaker 03

  No, too much, way too much.

• 2:10:49Patrick Bet-David?

  It's too much. 90 minutes too much for me. But we'll go to the Derby.

• 2:10:52Speaker 03

  You're taint.

• 2:10:53Adam Sosnick?

  Rob. Hey, go back to that last picture right there.

• 2:10:55Speaker 03

  Chafed.

• 2:10:55Speaker 05

  That's a good picture.

• 2:10:56Patrick Bet-David?

  I love her. She loves Papa.

• 2:11:00Speaker 05

  I'm looking at the Papa.

• 2:11:01Patrick Bet-David?

  This morning she sees me, she runs up, she has the best, she's the one that when she sees you, and she hasn't seen you for a second.

• 2:11:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 2:11:07Patrick Bet-David?

  It's too long. But she sees me, she hasn't seen me for four days. She says, Daddy, where were you Daddy? I miss you Daddy. Where were you? That's Brooklyn. She just, she's a, uh...

• 2:11:18Tom Ellsworth?

  The greatest.

• 2:11:18Patrick Bet-David?

  She's, she's...

• 2:11:19Speaker 05

  She's been working me though. She'll hug me, she'll cuddle, then she'll be like, I want a pink purse.

• 2:11:23Tom Ellsworth?

  You're great with kids. He's great with, with my kid.

• 2:11:25Patrick Bet-David?

  No, they love him.

• 2:11:26Tom Ellsworth?

  He sent my kid a gift.

• 2:11:27Speaker 05

  I love him.

• 2:11:27Patrick Bet-David?

  They love him. They love Vinny. Okay, Rob, is there a story that we haven't covered that we should cover? A story, okay, I'll do this one here, Tom. EU denies making offer to US on lowering its tariff for cars. Okay, this is a Bloomberg story, and Tom, I'm coming to you first. The European Union denies making any offer to lower tariffs on US cars contradicting President Trump's claim that EU had already reduced them. The European Commission stated that any tariff reductions must be mutually beneficial and negotiated within a fair and rules-based framework. Trump has been pushing for reduction in EU's 10% tariff on US cars compared for the US's 2.5% tariff, tariff on European vehicles.

• 2:12:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump announced 25% tariff on imports of steel and aluminum and hinted at higher auto tariffs which would particularly impact German automakers. EU Trade Chief Maros Sevkovich is scheduled to meet with Trump's Commerce Secretary nominee, Howard Lutnick, Trade Representative nominee, Jamie Corrigan, to discuss these matters. Tom, your thoughts on the story?

• 2:12:32Tom Ellsworth?

  This is a great story. Whenever you hear the EU say, we're sending all of our guys over to meet all of your guys. No, no, no, don't come here. We'll come to you. We'll come to you. You know, we'll be there in a minute. We're gonna be, we're gonna be right in the area, we'll drop by. And, and Trump is saying, they've already made the decision to drop their tariffs. They've already made a decision to lower the tariffs on their cars.

• 2:12:53Speaker 05

  You gotta use a lower voice, Tom.

• 2:12:54Tom Ellsworth?

  And they're like, no, no, no, no, we haven't done that yet. We haven't done that yet. This is just like... When a running back denies slapping his girlfriend, you know he did it. Of course. Of course he did it.

• 2:13:03Speaker 05

  Damn.

• 2:13:03Tom Ellsworth?

  He did it twice. He did it three times. This is the time we caught him. And so the EU, this is a sign that Trump's negotiation through tariffs are working. This guy's gonna come over here and we are going to see a deal happen and them opening up to allow US automakers, most notably Ford. Ford has a line of smaller cars. If you've been to Europe, you know, people favor them. Mr. Bean? Yeah, well, no, no, not like minis, but they favor the smaller four-door car that fits in cities and everything. And Ford makes a lot of those. They make them better than GM does. If you go over to Germany, you see a lot of those little Fords. The old Ford Fiesta, if you remember long ago. They call it something else now. Sounds like a party to me. But that's what's going on here. So what's going on here? No, no, no, we're not doing

• 2:13:47Tom Ellsworth?

  that, but we're sending our guys to your house, to your place. And are you all home? Because we'd really like to talk. They're not coming over here to talk and say nothing. As they said, Glenn Ross? Coffee for closers? A guy doesn't walk on the lot unless he wants to buy. I thought you were going with the coffee for closers. That's the line. You watch. You watch. The tariffs are gonna come down and there's gonna be a little announcement made.

• 2:14:10Speaker 03

  Again, it's what Trump does. He'll start with something like crazy, say something, and people go, oh, that's crazy, 25%. And then, you know, we're just, we're starting to negotiate. Relax.

• 2:14:20Tom Ellsworth?

  That's how it starts.

• 2:14:21Speaker 03

  I'm throwing some things out.

• 2:14:22Tom Ellsworth?

  Your low ball or your high ball?

• 2:14:23Speaker 03

  That's all.

• 2:14:24Tom Ellsworth?

  And then you go in the middle.

• 2:14:25Speaker 03

  I'll give you 10 bucks for the house.

• 2:14:26Tom Ellsworth?

  So Tom, what do you think is gonna happen? I think what's gonna happen is, you know, when there's suddenly Maros Sevkovik is gonna be standing at the microphone with Howard Lutnick and with Jameson Greer and especially Kevin Hassett. And they're gonna be saying there, we've had productive talks. There's gonna be movement as of May 1st. They're gonna say a date. They're gonna say productive. They're gonna say movement. And then they're gonna say a date. That's what you're gonna see. And then you're gonna see the American automakers say, we are pleased, relieved, and looking forward. That's what you're gonna see. All right, let's see what happens. All that means is... There's my prediction. European cars may get slightly cheaper.

• 2:15:07Patrick Bet-David?

  If they get cheaper, that's a good thing for Americans. They're gonna have to pay less. And what's that one here?

• 2:15:12Adam Sosnick?

  You wanna talk about this story right here?

• 2:15:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me see, this is what, this is what, why there's no relief ahead for high used car prices?

• 2:15:17Adam Sosnick?

  Wall Street Journal.

• 2:15:18Patrick Bet-David?

  What is it saying?

• 2:15:19Adam Sosnick?

  Basically saying, don't expect to get any cheap, uh, good cars anytime soon.

• 2:15:24Speaker 03

  There's no free lunch.

• 2:15:26Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I mean, Brian had to sell two horses to get a car these days.

• 2:15:29Speaker 03

  Patrick, I saw that, I saw that Porsche.

• 2:15:30Patrick Bet-David?

  When you have Brian type of money man, you know, you, you're, you're in the horse business.

• 2:15:33Speaker 03

  You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying?

• 2:15:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Eventually, eventually, we would like to aspire to get into the horse business.

• 2:15:39Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, that's it.

• 2:15:39Patrick Bet-David?

  What Vinnie's getting into, Vinnie's getting into zoo business. We're about to get about 50 animals here for, uh, Vinnie because Vinnie's, okay, listen, Vinnie is, uh, the real life, um, what was that movie where he could talk to?

• 2:15:51Speaker 05

  Doctor Dolittle?

• 2:15:52Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, Vinnie's the real life one, the, the, the Doctor Dolittle. Vinnie can actually speak.

• 2:15:56Adam Sosnick?

  Noah's Ark.

• 2:15:57Speaker 03

  He's, he's the animal whisperer.

• 2:15:58Patrick Bet-David?

  When, when animals see Vinnie, there is an emotional connection and mutual respect I've never seen before.

• 2:16:04Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:16:04Patrick Bet-David?

  The, the other day, we're walking the dogs and a squirrel comes, this is a squirrel that attacks everybody.

• 2:16:09Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:16:09Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:16:09Patrick Bet-David?

  He sees Vinnie, I've never seen this before.

• 2:16:12Speaker 03

  Right.

• 2:16:12Patrick Bet-David?

  The squirrel's on his four, on four, stands up on two and goes like this to Vinnie.

• 2:16:18Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:16:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Goes like this to Vinnie.

• 2:16:20Speaker 03

  I'm gonna tell you something.

• 2:16:21Patrick Bet-David?

  And I saw that, I'm like, I was one second too late, cause a lot of people don't believe me right now.

• 2:16:25Speaker 03

  No, no, I believe you.

• 2:16:25Patrick Bet-David?

  They think this is a spoof.

• 2:16:26Speaker 03

  Bro.

• 2:16:27Patrick Bet-David?

  The squirrel stood up like this, looked at Vinnie, went like this.
