Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnick, and Vincent Oshana break down the U.

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

• 0:19Speaker 00

  You are a 101? My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, obviously, this was a very busy weekend. Lots going on. We did an emergency podcast on Saturday, but I know we got a lot of stories to cover. Khamenei is officially killed, and they had to find his replacement, allegedly. He is killed. There are some reports that the previous president, Ahmadinejad, was killed. He was supposed to be on a podcast last Friday, but last minute they canceled. I got an update for you here momentarily that even, I don't even think the market has updated on. And then there's a lot of other things going on. Obviously, nobody wants to see a war happen, and there's a lot of back and forth in the market right now with what is taking place. But we'll address that. Some numbers to just give you right off the bat. From Iran's side,

• 1:12Patrick Bet-David?

  at least 555 Iranians have been killed.

• 1:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Attacks to 130 cities, hundreds of civilians injured. Several service members for the US, four US service members have been killed. Five US service members are seriously wounded. In Israel, 10 killed. 31 killed in Lebanon, mainly because of the attacks on Beirut and the southern regions. And then when you think about Israel, they, I believe, brought up 100,000 new reservists that want to come out to defend as well because of concern with the missiles. Many Gulf states have been hit. We'll talk about that. US Central Command says over 1,000 Iranian targets being hit. Lots of stories to cover there and we'll go through all of that with Iran. Also, the critics, what they're saying about it. People pushing back, this is not the right thing to do. Kamala Harris saying certain things.

• 2:02Patrick Bet-David?

  And in old recordings of what the president said about Iran many, many, many, many years ago. One even with Rush Limbaugh when Rush was around and he straight up dropped an F-bomb. This is the first time when somebody had dropped an F-bomb on a campaign. Everybody started reacting to it. But aside from that, a lot of other things going on as well. Luigi Mangione exposed, escapes federal death penalty after federal prosecutors declined to appeal judge's ruling. Story came out about Duke's lacrosse false rape accuser, Crystal Mangum, released from prison after murder conviction. And then we have the tragic event that took place in Austin over the weekend.

• 2:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Austin bar, mass shooter that came out that we find out who this person was. Possibly motivated by Iran attacks. Koran found in car as FBI terrorism's after two killed, 14 injured. Rob, is the latest update still two and 14 or is it three now? Because I've seen two and I've seen three. If you can verify that. Pete Hexit bans military from attending Princeton, Columbia and other elite universities. Wokeness and weakness is what he calls it. Wokeness and weakness. An elite doctor served Jeffrey Epstein while treating his girls. Story came out from New York Times. Tom's got some thoughts on that. Lauren Boebert likes taking pictures of Clintons.

• 3:28Patrick Bet-David?

  First it was Hillary, now it's Bill. And obviously Bill was deposed and they asked him about Trump. And he had some interesting things to say about Trump, that there was nothing involved. He even didn't know who the women were in the infamous jacuzzi picture that was posted. And then aside from that, there's a bunch of other things I will get through if we get a chance. Mamdani AOC amongst other far leftists piling on Trump over Iran strikes. There's a whole thing going on with Ilhan Omar reckless abuse of power. I already said stuff about Kamala. Miami Heat phones are ringing off the hook as California billionaires look to drop nine figures on homes in the 305.

• 4:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Jamie Dimon is warning of a pre-financial crisis perilous says some people doing dumb things and by the way while the market opens will react to it as well. And then you have Shia LaBeouf, maybe one of my favorite people when this guy interviews you just want you don't know what he's gonna say next. And you know, he said what he fears the most, big gay men, he's afraid of them and we're gonna find out why I'll have him explain it to you why he says that he says one of the guys was touching his leg and he wasn't comfortable about it. But we'll talk about that. There's a Jake Tapper ruefully reveal CNN will be affected by Paramount's looming takeover of the network. They're worried a bunch of people are gonna lose their jobs.

• 4:52Patrick Bet-David?

  And then we got a couple of the stories that are updated stories that we'll get into. Having said that, listen, as we're going through this, the one thing that we can't recognize enough for what they do is the armed forces. The folks in the Army, Navy, Marines, you know, Air Force. Every one of these guys on what they're doing without them, you and I wouldn't have the freedom that we have to be safe to go out there and do what we're doing. Sometimes you forget about the military, but if you're somebody that served in the military and you believe the future looks bright, or you have a friend or a family that does and you want to recognize them, Rob, if you can go up VT merch, we have an armed force collection. If you can go down a little bit, there's two hats

• 5:35Patrick Bet-David?

  that every time we get them, we can't keep them on. That's one of them, but keep going down, keep going down, keep going down, keep going down. That one to the right, you see that one zoom in? This one, whenever it comes in, it goes just as quickly.

• 5:46Speaker 02

  I love that.

• 5:47Patrick Bet-David?

  It's an incredible, by the way, if you want to get, yeah, the future looks bright, green camel. And then also, Rob, go back if you can, there's another one as well on the bottom left, keep going, keep going, keep going, right there. Those two, those two are two of the most popular hats that we have. For folks in the military, that word with future looks bright on the right side, so. Put the link below, Rob, go to VTmerch.com, place an order, especially at a time like this. Represent our military for the patriotic job that they're doing out there. And with that being said, let's get right into it. I think it's fair to say. We start off with Khamenei. I know, I talked about it, I've done a couple of things on this, but Khamenei. The supreme leader of Iran is dead after US Israeli attack on Iran.

• 6:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Along with 40 top leaders, this is a New York Post story, Rob, I think you may have a video on this. On page 17. So, Iran's tyrannical supreme leader Ali Khamenei was killed Saturday in a non-presidential joint military attack by the US and Israel called. Operation Epic Fury, which Trump, President Trump said would give Iranians their greatest chance. To take back their country. Khamenei, one of the most evil people in history is dead. Said Trump on Truth Social. 15 hours after the start of the onslaught. This is not only justice for the people of Iran, but all, for all great Americans. And those people from many countries throughout the world that have been killed or mutilated.

• 7:13Patrick Bet-David?

  By Khamenei and his gang of bloodthirsty thugs. Hours later, Iranian state media confirmed that Khamenei has been martyred. The supreme leader of the Islamic revolution in Iran has been martyred. Tasneem News shared on X, "We hereby inform the devoted martyr-loving people of Iran that his eminence Ayatollah. Khamenei, the supreme leader of Islamic revolution, was martyred in a joint attack by the criminal America. And the Zionist regime on the morning of Monday, the 9th of Esfand. The tyrant's daughter, grandchild, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law were also killed in the joint military attack. According to Iranian state media. Though it's unclear where they died." And people are wondering what's going to happen here. Rob, if you can go to the New York Times cover on how they announced.

• 7:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Khamenei's getting killed, very different angle New York Times took, obviously they got a lot of heat for this. Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, hardline cleric who made Iran a regional power, dies at 86. That's New York Times for you.

• 8:12Speaker 02

  That's a real post.

• 8:13Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a real post, okay? Rob, can you verify that being a real post? I think it is a real post.

• 8:18Speaker 02

  Tears.

• 8:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Say that again?

• 8:20Speaker 02

  Like, is it like, who was the Soleimani when they died? You know what they were calling him? A freedom fighter.

• 8:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, they would call him a freedom fighter. So Adam, your thoughts on this?

• 8:29Adam Sosnick?

  Well, the world is a safer place now. Uh, thank God we have a President Trump, uh, who is the leader of the free world. So, to me, this is not an Israel thing. This is not a Middle East thing. This is a civilized world versus a radical Shiite theology that is unfortunately not going anywhere. Do you see the, uh, the people still all over the world crying that the Ayatollah Khomeini has died? Have you seen any of these videos? Uh, what people in Pakistan, people in Iraq?

• 8:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 9:00Adam Sosnick?

  People, uh, just absolutely distraught that this villainous terrorist supporter, uh, who is basically funded terrorism all over the world is dead. It means this, no matter what you do in life, no matter who you are, no matter what you got going on, you're always gonna have haters. And to me, this comes down to winners versus losers. Trump, despite all the hate, despite all the rhetoric, despite all the naysayers, this guy's just an absolute winner. And the alliance between Trump, Netanyahu, the American military, which is incredible, and the IDF and the Mossad is unbreakable, it seems. And they just, look at the scoreboard. To all the haters out there, look at the scoreboard.

• 9:45Adam Sosnick?

  I'll say this, the Ayatollah, all he did was talk, "We're gonna bring the enemy to its knees. Death to America, death to Israel." Look at you now. Look at all your friends. Look at everyone affiliated with you. Uh, Nasrallah, Lebanon, Hezbollah, done. Uh, Yahya Sinwar, Gaza, done. Ismail Hanea, all they do is talk. And what they're great at, the Ayatollah, is subjugating their own people. Whereas you have people like Netanyahu that's being praised in Iran. Imagine this. Have you seen the videos of people in Iran praising Trump? Thank you. The people of Iran praising Benjamin Netanyahu, praising him, thank you. Is this this video right here? Calling him Bibi Jun. Bibi Jun means like, dear Bibi?

• 10:31Adam Sosnick?

  Validate this for me, if this is what they're saying, PBD, if you can.

• 10:34Patrick Bet-David?

  I can't hear the audio.

• 10:35Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 10:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Where is this one?

• 10:42Adam Sosnick?

  This is apparently in Iran.

• 10:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Tehran.

• 10:44Adam Sosnick?

  Shouting from their rooftops, "Dear Bibi, thank you Bibi, Bibi Jun." Imagine that. That's the equivalent of Osama bin Laden attacking the United States, and the United States cheering for bin Laden. The world is upside down, and Trump and Bibi Netanyahu, that alliance, they've tuned out the noise, they've focused on the signal, and they've eliminated the greatest terrorist regime that the world has seen in the last 50 years. Thank goodness.

• 11:10Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, it's interesting why you're talking about that. I mean, I had not seen that. What I did see is the amount of love they're giving to Trump, Iranians around the world. By the way, a lot of these guys that are giving credit to Trump, remember, they don't like him. Forty percent of them didn't vote for him. Many Iranians are not voting for Trump. They're sometimes more Democratic than Republican. But now they're sitting there saying, "This is a guy that had the audacity to do it." I'm gonna show you two clips. Here's Kamala Harris, when asked about what happens if Iran attacks, and look how firm and strong Kamala responds with. And then look at the way Trump responds with. And then I'm gonna show you a clip from 10, 11 years ago

• 11:55Patrick Bet-David?

  of what Trump said to Rush Limbaugh. Go ahead, Rob.

• 11:58Speaker 00

  To Iran.

• 11:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Don't.

• 12:01Speaker 00

  As President Biden said, "Just don't."

• 12:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Exactly. Very threatening. One word, pretty straightforward.

• 12:07Speaker 04

  I'm gonna bomb the shit out of them. It's true. I don't care. I don't care. They've gotta be stopped.

• 12:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Big difference.

• 12:20Speaker 00

  What's the...

• 12:20Adam Sosnick?

  The fact that he said...

• 12:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I see what happened, I see what happened right there. Do me a favor, go to the one with him and the interview with Rush Limbaugh, right there, watch this. Go ahead, Rob.

• 12:28Speaker 04

  And Iran knows that, and they've been put on notice. If you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do...

• 12:35Patrick Bet-David?

  This is a long time ago.

• 12:36Speaker 04

  Things to you that have never been done before.

• 12:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 12:38Speaker 04

  And Iran knows that, and they've been put...

• 12:40Patrick Bet-David?

  So, say what you want, at least they're being consistent. And then Mike Walz was at a United Nations, I believe, hearing with Iranians, Sunday after Khamenei getting killed. And look what one of the Iranian leaders said, "Be respectful." And look how he responds. Go ahead, Rob.

• 12:57Speaker 05

  I have one word only. I advise to the representative of the United States to be polite. It will be better for yourself and the country you're representing. Thank you.

• 13:10Speaker 06

  The representative of the United States has asked for the floor to make a further statement. Frankly, I'm not going to dignify this with another response, especially

• 13:21Speaker 06

  as this representative sits here in this body, representing a regime that has killed tens of thousands of its own people and imprisoned many more simply for wanting freedom from your tyranny. Thank you, Mr. President.

• 13:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, be kind, be polite. It's better for you and your people. Yeah, yeah, be kind and be polite to your own people with the people that you're killing. Be kind and be polite to the people that you guys have hurt. Be kind and be polite to all the people in Iran that you took out, young kids. Be kind and be polite to your own folks of what they're talking about, what they're doing. Tom, your thoughts on the specific to Khamenei and some of these things that we just discussed?

• 14:06Tom Ellsworth?

  So, the world's a better place without him, but there's a leadership vacuum right now in Iran, and I want to see it filled with people that will be more reasonable, people that will return Iran to what it was. It was a tourist spot for the West. It was rich, it was Persian, it was not Arabic, it was Persian. And it had a rich history and it was working with the West. Not everything was perfect, but I want to see these people get back to where they were 47 years ago. That's what I want to see. I don't want to see war come out of this, long term. The regime changed what we have to do. You know, I'm a little worried about this weapons of mass destruction chapter that we went through that was not correct. I'll forever be a critic of Dick Cheney on that, but I'm glad he's gone. I'm glad leadership is gone.

• 14:51Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm glad the people are celebrating in the street, and I want to see them celebrating at the voting box and to see at the ballot box and to see Iran become what it was and to see the hearts of these people that are cheering be... Be served. That's what I want to see. But I'm glad that the maniacs are gone. I'm glad that that many of the underlings. So it doesn't look like it was just, oh, we're going to kill the leader and let it go. It looks like that there is a lot of effort that was made in to get the entire regime. And I'm glad to see it.

• 15:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it. By the way, you were playing a clip of the celebration, Rob, all around the world, Iranians dancing. This is Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Britain, France, Germany. There's even a clip of a reporter working for CBS's boss calls him and says, hey, stop playing that clip and stop recording with the audience behind Iranians that are saying, Trump, Trump, Trump. Stop. And he says, I'm not going to stop. And he defies his boss at CBS. Go ahead, Rob, play this clip.

• 18:04Speaker 02

  Watch, the Trump chants are coming.

• 18:07Speaker 02

  Res up, Alabian.

• 18:11Tom Ellsworth?

  See that?

• 18:12Speaker 02

  Trump is coming, ready?

• 18:14Tom Ellsworth?

  You see him just shrug?

• 18:14Speaker 02

  Thank you, Trump, listen, Tommy. Thank you, Trump.

• 18:17Tom Ellsworth?

  Did you hear him just shrug? He goes, "I'm going."

• 18:22Speaker 02

  And thank you, Bibi.

• 18:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you imagine? CBS is telling them, "Don't do it."

• 18:29Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you feel about it, Ben?

• 18:30Speaker 02

  How much you want to bet the person that's texting has orange hair and has a bull ring in their nose that's saying, "Don't do that"? Like, I want to, I want to say something, Pat. I think, you know, for the people out there, all the people in their basements, on these podcasts, that just have this one-sided, brainwashed mentality that everything is Israel, every, "Trump is owned by Bibi, he's Bibi's..." Like, they clearly, just listen to a handful of podcasters, and they have no idea what the hell's going on. They don't know nothing about geopolitics, and they have absolutely no idea how gangster President Trump is, okay? In the span of two months, Tom, we choked off China's discounted oil flow

• 19:13Speaker 02

  from Venezuela and now Iran, okay? China needs that oil to keep coming in, to be the global influence and have its power, okay? Russia also lost cheap weapons and their drones that they've been getting to fight freaking Ukraine that was coming from Iran, okay? If you take, take, take your Israel time out for a second. Everybody knows I'm critical about some of the- Stuff that Bibi does and Israel's government does. Put that to the side. I can be, I can be objective on both sides. Take a step back and look at the board strategically, okay? Pressure from all these freaking angles, that's perspective. What he is doing is so freaking impressive, but a lot of people are so stuck on just one thing, they can't get out of this freaking cloud, okay? And by the way, Islam has collapsed in Iran.

• 19:58Speaker 02

  Seventy percent of Iranians, which is about sixty-five million people, have left Islam because of what they've done. When these people came in, when the Ayatollah came in, they had to change their flag. It had that freaking awesome line, which I saw them going back to. Now, it used to have that Islam writing and all that stuff. Two-thirds of the mosques, which is fifty- The colors are the same, but the symbol in the middle is now traditional. Fifty thousand and seventy-five percent of the mosques have closed due to low attendance. People are done. People are done. And I'm so freaking happy for the people. I can't care less about your, oh, everything's Bibi Israel. The people, I have yet to see one negative video, not one, Adam. No, I'm being dead serious. I haven't seen one video where they went, why the hell would Trump do that?

• 20:42Speaker 02

  Why did he get up with Israel and, so do me a favor, shut up. If you're not from there, if you don't have family like we do, you're not from that place, please do me a favor, go back to playing video games in your basement and shut the hell up. You don't know what the hell you're talking about, period. Well said, Vincent. I try.

• 20:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but, but the, the challenge with this right now, Vinny, you're making a very important point, because it's what does that ideology produce, right? Does it make the place a better place? Very simple. So why are people leaving? Why are they leaving? Why, why are they going to a different place?

• 21:12Speaker 02

  And Pat, think about it. They're, the women are forced to cover their heads. The women don't want that. And if, God forbid, a little piece of your hair sticks out, they beat you to death and nothing happens, okay? And all these, all the gay people that are pro this, pro that, they throw gay people off of buildings. They will kill, you're going to jail and you will disappear, okay? It's not, their money has gone to crap. Nothing's good and the people for forty-seven years have been stuck. We liberated them. Oh, is Israel gonna get, are they happy? Of course they are. Of course they are.

• 21:44Speaker 02

  America, let me explain something to you. Everybody out there, I have an analogy, Tom. If your neighbor, if your neighbor across the street was killing people in his own family, threatening you, shooting at your house, throwing stuff over there, what would you do? Would you just sit back and go, you know what? Keep letting him, keep letting him get tougher. Let him get some bombs and let him, hopefully one day he'll get strong enough to kill me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That talk, you could talk the talk, bro, but Donald Trump is walking the walk and I feel a thousand times safer with these guys not having, uh, control.

• 22:15Tom Ellsworth?

  You make a great point, but you gotta remember, a lot of Americans are still sore, I am, from the deception of the weapons of mass destruction. It was a lot of American lives, a ton of American money, and what did it get? We turned a bunch of five-foot rocks in Iraq into two-foot rocks. That's what happened. And eventually, we found a dictator hiding in a hole, his own people took him, and then they hung him. And people are still bristling from that. I understand the raw emotions of certain Americans. However, my raw emotions are, I'm with the people. I love that we have liberated this, I love the people there, because I ask a question. Question, America, for all of you that are upset about this, that say, Trump said no wars, and now we got into wars, I get it. I'm on that page. However, what happens when there's a nuclear Iran?

• 23:00Tom Ellsworth?

  You think we're walking on eggshells with a nuclear in North Korea? What happens if there's a nuclear Iran? Are, we will not be able to stay home if they launch the missile at NATO, because we have a treaty that says that we would protect it. So if you think it's bad now, oh, we should stay out of their business, we should do this, look at what the people say and then ask yourself a question. What will a fully nuclear, with ballistic missiles, Iran, under these leaders, not the Persian people that want peace, these violent leaders, under the regime, what will they do with that? And what happens? And then what happens? We're in global conflict. That's the reality. This prevents that.

• 23:40Speaker 02

  And Tom, there's a big, really, really fast, there's a huge difference though, between 9/11, Iraq, Dick Cheney, BS weapons of mass destruction, which is the reason that I left, and just, that's, and people are like, well, you're a Republican. No, I'm not. That's absolutely wrong and it's disgusting what they did. This is a different situation. The Iranian people on their own said enough is enough. We're done. It took forty-seven years, they hit the streets and they were getting murdered. They were getting slaughtered and we took the right opportunity. Yes, are we gonna benefit? Yes, are the people happy? That's all that matters to me. The people are happy, end of story. I saw a video of a lady, Pat, cry, I, I, as if somebody in her family died. She was losing her mind, the husband's like, what's wrong? She's like, they killed Khomeini.

• 24:25Speaker 02

  They finally killed him and people are ecstatic around the world. It's a way better place without this freaking guy and that regime in place.

• 24:32Patrick Bet-David?

  I want to show you this with Rita Panahi from Sky News Australia. Reaction when it was announced that Khomeini is killed. And just watch this, this is an Iranian as well. Who was, uh, uh, you know, her family's from Iran, I think she's also from Iran, if I'm not mistaken. Native Persian, she's incredible, go ahead and play this clip, go for it.

• 24:50Speaker 12

  I want to conclude this editorial with this message to the late Supreme Leda. Hehdar sag, khak besarit, besuz to jahanam.

• 25:02Adam Sosnick?

  Ooh.

• 25:03Speaker 12

  Roland.

• 25:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Couldn't have put it better in my separate. Let me tell you what she said. Hehdar sag, son of a.

• 25:08Adam Sosnick?

  You know what?

• 25:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. And then go back, go, go back, she says, burn in hell, I don't know what the second one she said, go, press play.

• 25:16Speaker 12

  Hehdar sag, khak besarit, besuz to jahanam.

• 25:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Khak besarit, like dirt on your head.

• 25:24Adam Sosnick?

  And your, jahanam is.

• 25:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Buried and then may you burn in hell. Yeah, so, listen, I mean, this is somebody in, in Sky News, uh, that is a, she, she's a face of Sky News. In many cases, so Iranians are celebrating, Adam, you look like you want to say something.

• 25:38Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, well, she's absolutely right and I just want to give a shout out, so. This may or may not be the Independence Day for the people of Iran or the great people of Persia. I, I mean, we've lived through, you're forty-seven years old now, forty-six years old, forty-seven years old. Tom's doing his thing, this might be the most monumental moment since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Like, this cannot be understated how important this is. I also understand as an. American, we do not want endless wars. Trump, I think, per the rules of war in America, has up to 60 days to go to Congress. I think this is going to be done in a matter of weeks, certainly not months. Nobody wants to see endless wars, but if you've been following what Trump has been doing year after year,

• 26:20Adam Sosnick?

  episode after episode, this guy gets in and gets out, does not get in these foreign entanglements. So I understand that people do not want to get into endless wars. Nobody wants that. But has Trump ever done that at all? So I don't see that happening at all. The last thing I'll say was this. In war and in politics, there's winners and losers. Now, Trump and Bibi and our allies have proven over time and time again, they are the winners. Who are the losers? So the Ayatollah, the loser, the terror proxies, all losers. The progressive left that have been marching day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. Losers, you effectuated nothing.

• 27:03Adam Sosnick?

  Nothing's changed. You haven't stopped America, you haven't stopped Trump, you haven't stopped Israel IDF from winning. You haven't stopped, you're losers. Yes, I'm talking to you, AOC, Greta Thunberg, the Young Turks, Anna Kasparian, Mehdi Hassan, Mark Ruffalo in Hollywood, all losers. Every single thing, check out the scoreboard, guys. Also, on the woke Reich that they talk about, the Tucker camp, the Candace Owens camp, the Dave Smith, losers. Every single thing you've said has been wrong. Trump's been right about everything, isn't that a famous saying? Well, turns out he was. So it's funny to me to just sit back and watch America win while the losers cry and try to make up excuses as to why America shouldn't be doing this.

• 27:48Adam Sosnick?

  The world is so much of a safer place with the Ayatollah gone, and we should all be thankful.

• 27:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you, I understand the libertarian argument. I get that. I understand the libertarian argument of no wars, stay out of it, let me live my life, all this stuff. I understand that. The problem with that is that only works if you start your country that way. I don't know if that makes sense. Like, if I start a new country, the problem with the libertarian, I'm naturally more of a libertarian. I've always been since I was a kid. Like, leave me alone, let me go make my own money. If I do something, great, there's a punishment. I don't want to get into, if I don't start the fight, let's not have a fight, let's kind of do business together and let's move on. But unfortunately. The leaders that came previous to the current president have already sparked like

• 28:35Patrick Bet-David?

  one sin is out there and you all of a sudden say guys, let's try to be peaceful. It's done. Someone's son was killed, someone's father was killed. Unfortunately, this continues. And now they're doing it to their own people and they can't wait to do it to you, do it to our family and God forbid that happens to us. So I actually fully understand a libertarian argument. There's a very noble side to it. The part I don't like is, uh, uh, when, when it gets down to talking about how, you know, Trump is this and Trump is that and Trump is on and Trump is, and by the way, guess what? In, in the area of debate and conversation, anybody can say anything. And long-term, you know how the market works? Here's how the market works. I've learned this, having been in business and competition for 25 years.

• 29:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's what I've learned. You don't know where people are going to be five years from now, 10 years from now, 20 years from now. You don't know. Everybody is, you know, jockeying for position. Let me just say this and I'm going to get a reaction and boom, and let me just say this. And that is a business model, the rage-baiting model, right? And then every once in a while, you're like, wait, what did Fetterman say? A Democrat? Yep. Fetterman? Didn't we call him crazy? Yes. And now he seems like the logical player? Yes. Now we're linking the word reasonable to Fetterman? Yes. Watch this clip here from Fetterman on CNN. Go ahead, Rob.

• 29:56Speaker 13

  Have people ever read the, the War Powers Act? You know, what's, what's required of the president is to provide 48 hours of notification and then he has, he or she have 60 days, up to 90 days to withdraw those troops, you know, before Congress approves that. Neither of those have been activated. He did provide that to the gate of, the Gang of Eight. And there are no American troops on the ground now. This was an incredibly, incredibly precise and successful strikes and they eliminated most of the leadership too. So here we are. So yes, I do support that, you know?

• 30:38Speaker 13

  Why can't the entire world celebrate that he's dead for what he's done?

• 30:42Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, you know what is crazy? Mark Kelly, who is super critical of Trump. Mark Kelly said, this is a war that shouldn't have happened and da, da, da, da, da. And then they asked Mark Kelly, are you glad Khomeini is killed? Yes. So can you imagine? Mark Kelly, who is against any of that, but when it comes down to Khomeini, you're all of a sudden, yes, yes, this is a good move that's taking place. By the way, for the people that talk about Iran and should they do it? Should they not do it? Why are you doing this? What did Iran ever do to America? If you go through the history and you look at the stuff, you can easily pull it up to see what Iran's done. Directly, indirectly, proxy, not proxy. They try to take out your president. That's what they tried to do. Okay? They literally tried to take out your president.

• 31:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Seventy-nine to eighty-one, they attacked Iranian-backed embassy, seizure of the embassy. My aunt was there in the embassy. You ever seen the movie Argo? My aunt, my dad's sister who died last year was there. My father was trying to get her out. She eventually married a Marine and came to the States and stayed in America her entire life. Who did that? His camp, Khomeini's camp, Khomeini's camp. How many hostages did they have until Reagan came in? For how many days? What was it, sixty-something hostages? For how many days? Four hundred and forty-four days? What happened the day Reagan got elected and he became president? He got up and then immediately Khomeini did what? No, no, no, no, no. Don't, don't mess with Reagan.

• 32:05Patrick Bet-David?

  He'll kill us, but don't worry about these liberals like Jimmy Carter, Joe Biden, Obama. They won't do anything. They're fools. They'll give us money and they'll sympathize with us. And then who's the next Reagan that comes up? That's even tougher and crazier and more unpredictable than him. A guy that's in house right now. What are we supposed to do? Sit on the sidelines? And then Hezbollah in nineteen eighty-three, the Hezbollah linked bombing in Beirut that killed two hundred and forty-one US Marines, service members and barracks and seventeen Americans at the embassy. Nineteen ninety-six, Iran Hezbollah Chobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, killing US nineteen US airmen. Two thousand and three to twenty nineteen, Iranian-backed militias in Iraq provided training. EFPs and IEDs responsible for at least six hundred and three US troop death.

• 32:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Died and many more injured, accounting for more than seventeen percent of total US fatalities in Iraq. Two thousand USS Cole attack, very embassy bombings and plot assassination attempts, the IRGC-backed proxy attacks on US forces in response to US support for Israel. Twenty twenty-three Iran-backed militias have engaged in over two hundred and sixteen attacks in US bases, forces in Iraq, Syria, Jordan, resulting in a hundred and eighty wounded and three killed. I can go on and on and on and tell you how vicious these people are. By the way, how do you, how do you look at somebody and say if they're capable of killing tens of thousands of their own people, you've seen the number thirty-two thousand, you've seen the number a hundred thousand during protesting, what do you think they

• 33:30Patrick Bet-David?

  do to their enemies? Like, think about it. You ever seen these movies where in the movie you guys are like, yeah, take out the son, or take out this. If they kill their own son, what do you think they're capable of doing? Who are you to them? Nothing. And by the way, this, this whole thing with Khamenei that took place, you know, I was asked the question, should they take him out or not, I think a few months ago, and I said, I don't know, he's eighty-six, he's about to die anyways, okay? So why go after him? You know what the statement was? No, no, no, let's go take out the top. And let's go show that we can find anybody and anywhere. I don't care where you want to hide. Think about it this way.

• 34:12Patrick Bet-David?

  How long do you think Khamenei had a chance to hide? For how long do you think he's known that they're gonna attack him? Let me ask you one more time. How long do you think they had to hide Khamenei? Can we say months? Can we say at least weeks? And even, so imagine we play hide and go seek. You have weeks to go hide. I gotta come find you. How hard will it be for me to come find you? And they still found you. You understand what I'm saying? They still found you and they killed you. And then anybody else that wanted to replace you, they killed you as well. Iranians right now are sitting there. The only concern I got right now is while you're looking at the attacks, let me give you the pros and the cons.

• 34:52Patrick Bet-David?

  If, if you get into a fight with someone and say eight people are on your side. Okay, and you're fighting a group's coming after you. And then all of a sudden, those people that are attacking you, the eight that are on your side, they're like, listen, leave the guy alone. You start hitting them with a baseball bat and you shoot at them. Guess what they're gonna do? And then all of a sudden, very quickly, who has your back? Who has Iran's back right now? Actually, who has Iran's back right now? Who? The Hezbollahs and all these guys that they fund? That's, that's, that's a different story. Who has their back? Turkey's sitting on the sideline. Russia's even sitting on the sideline because they know they need that Zelensky deal with Ukraine. They know they need Trump. Yep. China's sitting on the sideline, oh shit.

• 35:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Ah, I know we said $400 billion they're gonna put into Iran for 25 years, but dude, that guy's crazy and he just lost the tariffs with the Supreme Court. He's capable of doing anything to us and he's still gonna be there for three years. Listen, Iran. We'd love to have your back, but you're on your own right now. Maybe we can help you out with a tweet. Like, stay out of the way, don't attack anything, but that's about it. Where is Iran right now? Solo. What happens when in a fight you end up being all by yourself? Because you even killed your allies. You, you hit up your, your allies. They almost shot up Burj Khalifa, what is that, the highest? The Burj Khalifa, yes. And then they had to intersect it. There's a guy in a property that is sitting in his property. And a, literally a drone attacks four or five stories above him. He's recording this. Have you seen this footage?

• 36:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, I don't know if you have this footage or not. I don't think this is the one. There is one where he's literally sitting there. Oh, that, is that the one? Uh, there is one, Rob, this, this footage is vicious. It goes right above him and hits the property that he's staying at. I don't think this is the one. It's another one. No, it's out the window and all the orange sparks. His window and he starts screaming, crying. So, look, where they are right now, they're cornered. So let's kind of process what they do next. That's kind of where I want to go to next. Yep. Now that they're cornered, what happens when somebody is cornered? They lash out. They lash out. I got kids, four of them. If, if one of the kids is cornered, you know what they'll do? They'll, they'll lash out and they break the other kid's toy.

• 37:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Or, or they'll throw something that's the other kid's favorite whatever, right? And that's the one, Rob. Watch this. Watch this, folks. Go ahead.

• 37:14Patrick Bet-David?

  He's recording it from his apartment and few stories above him got hit. Okay, look at this. So, so to me, when we go back to Iran, Khomeini, you have to realize these guys, they celebrate when they get killed for their god. To them, that's a celebration. To them, it's the kamikaze model, right? It's like, listen, I did it for them. And it's not even the 72 virgins we're talking about, although, you know, by the way, Khomeini, you guys know Khomeini? Very honorable man, right? He was supposed to be Gandhi. You guys want to know what Khomeini once said? About what to do to women in prison? Have you ever heard him? Nope. You want to verify this, Rob? He once said, "Female prisoners who are virgins must be raped before execution to prevent them from entering heaven."

• 37:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Isn't he an amazing guy to say something like that? That's the guy that died. When he died, I was in Iran. June 3rd, 89. I was there when the guy died. They didn't kill him, he died. This guy, who was supposed to be a hero for them, "Female prisoners who are virgins must be raped before execution to..." If you go pull up the craziest thing he said in one of the books that he wrote, you would sit there and say, "No human be..." You would never write that. You would never subscribe to that. Our audience, if you're watching this, even though if you're part of the 30% that watches this, 20% that maybe you don't agree with that, deep down inside, you'll be like, "I don't subscribe to that." What they did about women and girls, about women and girls, "Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so they do not go to heaven." Founding leader of the Islamic regime in Iran. What do you think about this guy?

• 38:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Does this sound like a noble man? Does this sound like a guy you want your son to look up to? Does this sound like a man you want to follow? Does this sound like a man you want to give the book and say, "Hey, son, read this book." Don't read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. Don't, don't, don't read Thomas Sowell's books. Don't read Lincoln's books. No, no, read Khomeini's book. Because what he said is, "Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so they don't end up in heaven." This is their values and principles. So what does it mean? When you handle somebody like this, that's this reckless, you can only handle them one of two ways.

• 39:17Patrick Bet-David?

  You either have to kill him and make an example of them publicly in front of everybody. Everybody and to put the fear of death, anything and everything to them, their family, everyone around them publicly. You have to do it that way first, or you have to also realize because life to them doesn't matter. What are they capable of doing? Anything and everything. So let's talk about retaliation. What is retaliation? The typical protocols right now, FBI is giving the typical protocols. Be careful when you're going out. Don't go to large parties. You know, FBI is doing their thing in America, especially if you're living in an area with a lot of Jews or Jewish communities. So certain parts of LA, certain parts of Miami, certain parts of Boca, certain parts of New York, certain parts of whatever,

• 40:02Patrick Bet-David?

  right? Be careful while you're going around, especially maybe if you're going to be too vocal, be careful with that. But you gotta go a little bit deeper than that. So they're threatening to hit Strait of Hormuz. Let's talk about that, Tom. I'm going to come to you with this one here. Rob, can you pull up right now? What is the price of a barrel of oil today? It was 67 on Friday. What is the price of a barrel of oil today? Markets just opened, so I'm curious where it's at.

• 40:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Pre-markets were predicting 72.

• 40:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, great. So 72. So if they attack the Strait of Hormuz, you could potentially, and even they they block it, every day, it's about 20, 15 to 20 million barrels a day. It's about 1.2, 1.3 billion dollars a day. About 20% of the world's oil goes through here. So don't be surprised if gas prices go up 30 to 50 cents in the next week or two. Don't be surprised. If they do anything to this area and they lock it up for 30 days, do not be surprised if a price of a barrel of oil goes up to 120 to 200 dollars and gas prices go up a buck, two buck 50. That's the pain of what they could do, right, Tom? I'll pause. Rob, what is this clip that you have here?

• 41:06Speaker 14

  This is the IRGC announcing that the Strait of Hormuz was being closed.

• 41:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it.

• 41:11Speaker 15

  Attention all ships, this is Sepah Navy. Iran Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy. From now on, all navigating through the Strait of Hormuz is forbidden. No ship in every type is not allowed to pass from the Strait of Hormuz till next notice. This is Sepah Navy, out.

• 41:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom.

• 41:37Tom Ellsworth?

  Right, so why do you think President Trump said "drill, baby, drill"? He said it on the campaign trail, he said it at the inauguration. "To create energy independence and to make the United States an exporter, and an exporter to its friends and its allies who need energy." The Strait of Hormuz is where a lot of Middle East oil is trafficked. It's as important as the Panama Canal. And so it is very important to keep it open. But it's also important to understand the broader energy strategy. This is why "drill, baby, drill." Do you know where Europe gets, I believe it's 60% of its natural gas? From us, from the United States, not from the Middle East.

• 42:21Tom Ellsworth?

  The gas comes from the United States. And so when you look at this, is this big? Yes, it's big. But you know what? Who's closing it? Who are you? Where are you? What installation do you have? What fleet do you have there? This will not take very long to incapacitate anybody that wants to come out there and hold up their hand like a stop sign. This is not, we are not talking about embargo right now. We are talking about these strikes. And if you want to put your ass in the Strait of Hormuz and try to interfere with tankers, you're going to go the way of the Somali pirates, right? You're going to be fish food.

• 42:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, question for you, question for you. How much of taking on Maduro first was part of the strategy to go after Iran? That if something happens, the oil reserves were protected. So if Iran all of a sudden goes crazy and locks up the Strait of Hormuz, his team sat there and said, "Don't worry, we have Venezuela already, we're locked in, they can do whatever they want to do. We have enough supplies, we won't be desperate, and we'll also be able to help our allies sell oil to them if Iran decides to go crazy."

• 43:25Tom Ellsworth?

  You are exactly right. When the book is written about this chapter of history, and how these dominoes were arranged and fell. Credit to Trump and to Rubio is going to be very, very clear. And Whitkoff, those are the three are going to get a tremendous amount of credit for actually stabilizing the world's energy and neutralizing the black market shipments to people like China, who we wanted to neutralize on an economic basis. This is 3D chess, and I believe you are correct that the first dominant, as soon as you do that to Venezuela and you stop the illicit oil going on there, you know where that heavy crude's going, Vinnie? Houston.

• 44:09Tom Ellsworth?

  You know where the heavy crude is the type of oil that comes out of, there's this huge valley in Venezuela. It's called heavy crude. And the largest concentration of refineries that handle heavy crude is in the American Gulf Coast.

• 44:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, weird.

• 44:26Tom Ellsworth?

  Isn't that odd? Like, it was always set up to be that way, and it was this communist regime over the last 15, 20 years in Venezuela that interrupted that. That was always the play.

• 44:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, but that's the part where, listen, you know, I always say there's five phases you go through in business. If you want to win a life at the highest level, I'll talk about it on the business side, but this is political side. First phase is the shadow phase. You work under somebody and you shadow them, you see how they work. Okay? Then you either become a leader in that company, so the next phase is what? Leadership phase. You learn how to make tough choices. Leadership, accountability, pushing them, driving them. Then you go through the next phase, which is the process and issues phase. You learn how to process issues, bigger decisions we got to make. So instead of buying one camera, you're not making a $600,000 decision. Then you're making a $5 million decision, then making a $50 million decision. So you become better at making decisions.

• 45:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Fourth phase is sequencing phase. First we do this, then we do this, then we do that, then we do. So everything becomes about sequencing. And last but not least, it's solving bigger problems. I mean, to sit here and think about the fact that they went and got Maduro first before attacking Iran. You know, when I think about Iran, I think about Venezuela because those are two oils. Venezuela, Saudi, Iran. By the way, if that, I'm convinced that was intentional on the way they did it. So let me continue the next threat that they could have. One is oil, okay, which we're seeing what's going on right there. Brent crude oil, global benchmark right now, approximately seventy-nine to eighty dollars a barrel. And they're trading on March 2nd, 2026, up sharply. Due to geopolitical tensions, Rob, can you ask, what was it on Friday?

• 46:04Patrick Bet-David?

  I think on Friday, that same exact crude oil price, on Friday, the Brent crude oil price, was that sixty-seven? So that's a, that's a quick spike that went up, okay? So you, folks, you're going to feel gas prices going up here.

• 46:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Number two, what else is Iran seventy-two forty-eight? Okay, so it's up what, about ten percent? It's up in a span of two days. It's up ten percent, okay? So now watch this, what's the next way they're gonna attack, Tom? What other ways can Iran attack? Cyber warfare? We've never experienced that. Shutting down economical systems? Shutting down the internet? Shutting down different electrical grids that we have? You know, hitting military bases, they're already focused on all the military bases around. What they don't realize, I think we have a military base down the street from Iran, not in Iran, outside of it with our nuclear weapons, they're just waiting in case Iran does something. Rob, can you type in where are military bases closest to Iran where we have nuclear weapons?

• 47:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Nuclear weapons, which ones are they? They know that, Iran knows this. If they play with fire, what capabilities they're dealing with as well? And by the way, as much as Israel says they don't have nuclear weapons, we all know Israel has nuclear weapons. But it'll be our secret that you don't have nuclear weapons. We know you got nuclear weapons. Turkey, there you go. So at Turkey, historically known to host US B-61 nuclear gravity bombs under NATO's nuclear sharing arrangement, that's the closest known NATO nuclear storage location geographically to Iran at present. Rob, can you go to maps and see what that looks like? Uh, can you go to, by the way, go a little bit lower to see what else it says? Other, Belgium, but these are not nuclear, right? These are nuclear sharing sites in Europe, not in the Middle East, but part of a Western nuclear

• 47:49Patrick Bet-David?

  deterrent posture, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Netherlands. Okay, and Turkey is the one that we looked at. Go to the map with Turkey and Iran, Rob.

• 47:57Patrick Bet-David?

  If you just go to map Turkey, zoom out a little bit, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going. Okay, so zoom out, where is Iran? Turkey, right there. Okay, so that's not a log, like they know, and by the way, Turkey's friendly with Iran, they're neutral, they're not supportive, they didn't want this war to start, they said, "Don't do it, don't attack them," right? So that's kind of Turkey's position. They know that. And you know what Iran's one of biggest strengths they have in Iran? They are one of the, by the way, their drones they produce, they sold to Russia to attack Ukraine. So they know how to produce drones like no other. I think the only other country that produces

• 48:39Patrick Bet-David?

  better drones than Iran is probably Ukraine. Rob, can you tap in the top five best countries in producing military level drones? Okay, top five countries for producing, we're one of the worst countries in the world for producing drones. You know why? Because we have all these FAA regulations, it's not easy, the regulation here is pretty bad. Who is number one? US, keep going. Okay, China, keep going. Turkey, keep going. Israel, Iran and Ukraine are on that list. Can you tap in what, okay, Iran?

• 51:42Speaker 02

  Well, I think the Strait of Hormuz, closing it down, is going to backfire dramatically because, as we always say, follow the money. Who goes through there? It's a big shipping area. Who are the biggest exporters? Who's shipping things out of that area? Well, it's all of Iran's neighbors. Saudis. Who they conveniently attacked, well, it's all address. So, the biggest exporters out of the Strait of Hormuz follow the money. Saudi, Iraq, the UAE, Qatar, and then obviously Iran. But who are the biggest importers? Who's basically saying, yes, we want your goods? China, India, Japan, South Korea, and the EU. Who's not on that list? The United States. Who's also not on that list? Israel. So, it's like cutting your nose off to spite your face. So, that's that.

• 52:34Adam Sosnick?

  I don't thi, I think that's going to backfire dramatically. But speaking of following the money, uh...

• 52:40Adam Sosnick?

  Who the hell are Iran's friends at this point? Show me your friends, I'll show you your future. You know, you are the five people that you surround yourself with the most. Where's China? Nowhere to be found. Where's Russia? Nowhere to be found. Why? Ask yourself, why? Why are they not showing up? I thought World War III was gonna happen. I thought they had each other's back. Because they're not real friends. They're transactional friends. Oh, we want your oil. We want your drones. But China needs energy. See what happened in Venezuela? We need our oil. Oh, we can't get it from Venezuela now. We need Iran. Oh my God, what are we gonna do? Maybe we gotta do a deal with Saudi. Oh, Russia, we're in a war with Ukraine. Who's funding Ukraine? What's going on here? Oh, all of a sudden, we don't have your back. Iran and Russia were supposed to have the back of Syria. Syria, when it fell.

• 53:26Adam Sosnick?

  These people don't have each other's backs. So, America, we should remember, we have friends. We have friends in high places, we have friends in low places. So, and last but not least, Iran. They didn't attack the US. They barely even attacked Israel. They started attacking their neighbors. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah, UAE, boom. Oh, yeah, Bahrain, boom. Oh, yeah, Qatar, boom. So now, you have Arabs, the Arab Gulf states. They woke up to this war. They were upset with who? The United States and Israel. And by the time they went to bed, they were upset with Iran. Walk me through your logic. This is a complete buffoonery out of Iran. Is this who they attacked? So they attacked Dubai, they attacked UAE, they attacked Saudi, they attacked Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait.

• 54:11Speaker 14

  I don't think so, because it has France and Italy up at the top.

• 54:13Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, but those are two also Arab states that they might look into as well. Uh, France and the UK. Those are some other progressive Muslim states that they're looking into.

• 54:23Patrick Bet-David?

  But what does this tell you that? Wait a minute.

• 54:24Adam Sosnick?

  Iran did attack their neighbors, without a doubt.

• 54:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Go back and see what this says. Zoom in a little bit. Iran hit 14 countries on one night. Here's what happened. Israel, nine dead. UAE Burj Al Arab on fire, really Burj Al Arab on fire. Abu Dhabi Airport, is it, is Burj Al Arab really on fire? Can you look at that one dead, seven injured Dubai Airport?

• 54:43Adam Sosnick?

  I did see the Dubai.

• 54:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Four wounded, okay Bahrain, US Navy Fifth Fleet, okay, we know that Bahrain. Straight, okay, got it Kuwait Airport, got that Qatar, got it Saudi. Got it Jordan, but what is Iraq US Military Basis Oman? Military Missile Syria Target in the Wave, Target in the Wave Cyprus. UK NATO Ally Military Base Attack For The First Time France Camp de Leipai. UAE Struck And In Italy NATO Camp In Salem Kuwait Bomb. Oil Up 13% In One Day Gold Surging To 5300 State Of Hormuz Disrupted 20% Flight Suspended. 17,000 Flights, 14 To 17,000 Flights Cancelled By The Way.

• 55:23Adam Sosnick?

  Dubai's Airport Was Insane.

• 55:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Shut Down, Yeah, Shut Down Till Monday. Because Of Iran.

• 55:28Adam Sosnick?

  Because Of The Actions Of Iran.

• 55:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 55:30Adam Sosnick?

  And I Just Want To Circle Back On One Thing If You Don't Mind. President Trump, If You Ever Watch This And See This, Thank You For What You're Doing To Save The World. And Thank You For Learning From Past Presidents Who Completely Overestimated Or Underestimated This Situation. Jimmy Carter Got Us In This Situation.

• 55:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, Do You Have The Burj Al Arab?

• 55:49Adam Sosnick?

  You Have That?

• 55:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Burj Al Arab? Okay, And I Want To Stay On The Topic Of What I Was Asking, You Didn't Answer The Question At All For A Second Adam By The Way. So I Want To Go To Vinnie. How Do You Think They're Going To Retaliate? Is This, Is This Burj Al Arab? According To Daily Mail, Yes Sir. Okay, So Burj Al Arab Is A Hotel Where The Cheapest Rooms Are 3500 Dollars, 4000 Dollars. It's The Only Six Star, I Think Six Or Seven Star Hotel In The World. I've Stayed There Before In Dubai, It's A Beautiful Property On The Water. It's, Yeah. Because Of, So It Fires Over There, I Didn't See That, That's Not Burj Al Arab. Is That Burj Al Arab?

• 56:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, that is not the far

• 56:28Speaker 02

  I don't believe so, the first few images were-

• 56:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, Vinnie, how do you think they'll retaliate?

• 56:32Speaker 02

  Well-

• 56:32Patrick Bet-David?

  And will they retaliate? Will they surrender? By the way, I asked Rob to run a poll. Rob, can you pull up the poll results where we are right now? And by the way, if you haven't yet voted, please do so. I'd like to get a sample size of about 20,000 voters on here. Uh, Rob, can you send me the poll? Cause it's not showing it to me now on my side. If you haven't, I voted already, so probably disappeared. Okay, and this, this question is, how long do you think this war will last? Okay? Rob, is the poll still up?

• 57:00Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 57:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. How long do you think this war will last? Okay, how long? Less than a month? One to three months? Three to six months? Six months plus? So if you look at this, nearly half of you think the war is gonna last less than a month. 27% think one to three months, three to six months is 7%, six months plus. A fifth of you believe it's gonna last more than six months. Vinnie, where are you at with this?

• 57:26Speaker 02

  Um, oh, uh, me personally, I think four weeks. I'll go, I'll go, I'll go one to three months.

• 57:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom?

• 57:33Tom Ellsworth?

  I think this is well under a month, well under a month.

• 57:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Well under a month. Adam?

• 57:39Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I, I don't see this going a month and months and months. This is a 30-day thing. I mean, if, there was a 12-day war, uh, things get done real quick. Look, the United States military is no joke. And combined with the intelligence and the technology of the Israeli military, they eliminate people in days, much less weeks, definitely not months. I don't see this lasting more than a month at all.

• 58:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. So if that's the case, so then that means if you believe that, you're believing that why? Because you think they're gonna surrender and they're gonna say, listen, we're done. What can we do? You think that's gonna be taking place?

• 58:14Tom Ellsworth?

  You, they will retaliate on military targets to make a point. But they will retaliate on the big three. Electricity, water, and sewage, water treatment plants.

• 58:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 58:26Tom Ellsworth?

  When you hear that those are being hit, you're trying to cripple an enemy. It's one thing to aim for a US installation in Bahrain, and you miss it by two blocks, you hit a civilian target, because you're using inferior, you know, guidance systems on your weapons. And then you say later, my bad. But if you go hit power and you go hit water, if Iran starts hitting power, water and sewage treatment, they are trying to cripple the country and to throw it into civic disorder. If you see that, that means that they've taken the gloves off. Two weeks ago, the Saudis gave limited assurances diplomatically to who? Iran.

• 59:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Then on the weekend, the Saudis are defending its brethren being hit on its own borders. So Saudis were kind of in a pickle, but watch for those attacks on civilian infrastructure because that would what you do when you want to screw up the country.

• 59:26Speaker 02

  Well, I think from if what they're going to do worldwide, I think we saw a little glimpse of it in Austin, Texas, I believe it was yesterday where a US naturalized citizen from Senegal opened fire on Sixth Street. Senegal. Thank you. And wore a shirt that said property of Allah, had a Quran in his car, had an Iran flag underneath his shirt.

• 59:52Speaker 02

  I think, by the way, this is not fear porn.

• 59:54Patrick Bet-David?

  This is where?

• 59:55Speaker 02

  This is in Austin.

• 59:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, this is the shooting in Austin over the weekend.

• 59:59Speaker 02

  Ready to go to that now or are we staying on Iran? Well, no, because I'm going to tell you what Iran would do. This is, this is just Iran on a global thing. This is Islam, okay? And by the way, 1.7 to 2 million gotaways came into our border. That's the shooter right there. Came into our border under the Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas border regime. Okay, that's DHS status. Think about that. There's only roughly 150,000 RAGC soldiers. It's not going to take that long to either get rid of them or tell them to fall online. Okay, and I'm just telling people like be on alert because if I was them, thinking of them outside the box, crowded concerts, any events, churches, everything, people just don't be on your phone and stuff, just be on alert.

• 1:00:42Speaker 02

  Don't live afraid, just live aware because that's how you get us. You get us at the heart.

• 1:00:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you, yeah, let me tell you what else, and we'll get into this. Let me tell you what else I think they're going to be doing. By the way, folks, if you're watching this, 51% of you watch the show who are not subscribed. But you watch it regularly, so you may not know how important it is to us if you can press that subscribe button. The reason for it is it allows the channel to get bigger, more resources, and if we get more resources, 100% of the money that comes in, we put back into the business. We get to hire better people, better camera, better sets, better guests, better high-quality conversations. So it means a lot to us. If you guys can take a second, just press that subscribe button and the notification button. It helps us out with our algorithms. I appreciate you for doing that. Having said that, this is the part I want you to think about.

• 1:01:28Patrick Bet-David?

  The power of disinformation, okay? The power of pinning people against each other. The power of chaos. Like, you know, there are guys that are, i- i- if a guy runs a bot right now, and they wanted to flood, they look at this livestream because, you know, we ran the biggest livestream on Saturday morning, right after the war happened on YouTube. We were number one livestream worldwide on YouTube. Say if they see that we're talking logic and reason, and we have an opinion like this, that's maybe more favorable for Trump. How much power would it have to flood the chat? And just put negative stuff, your bot, your this, your that? How effective you think that is with the average person?

• 1:02:07Speaker 02

  Pretty good.

• 1:02:08Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think, what do you think the level of effectiveness is?

• 1:02:10Speaker 02

  Like for people that are watching and reading?

• 1:02:11Patrick Bet-David?

  For people, my god, look what they're saying, look what they're doing.

• 1:02:13Speaker 02

  Oh, 80%, I think 80% of people-

• 1:02:14Patrick Bet-David?

  You think it works with 80% of people?

• 1:02:16Speaker 02

  I think the people are like, "Yeah!"

• 1:02:17Patrick Bet-David?

  What percentage of people you think it works on?

• 1:02:20Speaker 02

  I think it's high, Pat. I think people just, people wake up and whatever their algorithm tells them to do, they go that way. They don't stop and take a step back and think.

• 1:02:27Patrick Bet-David?

  73 comments about Tom's tie, saying they don't like it. I love Tom's tie. I don't know why they're going after Tom's. 73 comments like that.

• 1:02:34Speaker 02

  See, like, Tom, I think you look great.

• 1:02:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Tune out the noise, Tom. I think Tom's tie is the best look into, but, Tom, that's a joke. No one said anything about your tie. Just giving you a hard time. But the point, the point, the point I'm trying to make to you is,

• 1:02:45Speaker 02

  Yes, sir.

• 1:02:45Patrick Bet-David?

  How much influence does that have? So I want you to know. I have a feeling, over the next two, four weeks, expect a lot of massive disinformation camp, pinning against each other, non-stop, to pin us against each other. I think that's gonna be taking place. The part I applaud the president with, Vinny, Tom and Adam, is, you know how hard it is to do this? You know how hard it is to do this? Do you know how hard it is to do this knowing, you know, you're, you're sitting in a place right now where there's a camp saying, "Oh, my God, you shouldn't do this. You shouldn't go after it. You shouldn't..." And by the way, even J.D. Vance is a non-interventionist himself. He's not, he's not a guy that's supportive of probably even something like this. I'm not speaking for, uh, uh, on his behalf.

• 1:03:30Patrick Bet-David?

  It's just when I ask people around in DC, they'll say, "Yeah, that's, that's an area that he's not with it," right? But think about for him to just stand up and say, "No, here's what we're doing. This is the right thing to do. You guys can criticize all you want. Unfortunately, we're gonna lose some service members because that's what happens during war." Like, he's addressing every objection up front to not overpromise and under-deliver. And when they took out a few of the soldiers, I don't know if you saw what the president had to say. Rob, if you want to, uh, play this clip. "Trump vows to avenge fallen troops in Iran war as he issues chilling ultimatum in address to the nation." Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:04:10Speaker 04

  Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that three US military service members have been killed in action. As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives, we pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more. Before it ends, that's the way it is. Likely be more, but we'll do everything possible

• 1:04:53Speaker 04

  where that won't be the case. But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war against basically civilization.

• 1:05:06Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:07Patrick Bet-David?

  There you have it. How serious you think he is?

• 1:05:09Adam Sosnick?

  Serious, and it's not, you think that's easy telling people like, hey, listen, because we signed up. When you sign up for the military, the first thing in your head, the first thing that was in my head is like, I'm signing up, there's a good possibility that I could die. Wherever I'm gonna be deployed, wherever I'm doing. I worked at a nuclear missile base for Christ's sake. If they're gonna attack, that's where you, that's where you attack. You signed up knowing, that's a president saying the hardest part out loud that people don't want to talk about. This is war, and when you're in war, people lose their lives, okay? It's a sad freaking reality, it happens, but at least he has the, the, the, the fortitude to stand up and say, listen, they're gone, God, we're gonna go after the people that killed them, and guess what? There's gonna be more. There's gonna be more. This isn't a, like a child's play where the other, other team's not gonna fight back. They're gonna fight back.

• 1:05:53Adam Sosnick?

  But hopefully, like we said, it's gonna be less than, less than a month.

• 1:05:55Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I wonder though, I wonder how you're gonna fight back because you, you gotta realize, there's an element of also you're sitting in a room, and you're saying, so what should we do? Let's ask, oh, he's dead. Uh, okay, but we need, we need such and such. How many of those, let's, he's also dead. But can you see if the judge, if we can do, he's also dead. Who can we call? Call a low level guy to see what he's, that's, that's what they're going through right now.

• 1:06:22Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:06:23Patrick Bet-David?

  That's what they're going through right now. So for them, I don't know how long this is gonna be sustainable as they're going through this whole shenanigans with Iran, with Israel, with, I don't know how long they can go with this. Adam?

• 1:06:34Adam Sosnick?

  Well, you asked what Iran can do, what their next moves are, I'll, I'll, I'll see that and raise you one. What is Trump gonna do? Because at the end of the day, they're gonna come back to what they've been doing before, which is negotiations. Do you think Trump has more or less credibility now, after what he did?

• 1:06:52Patrick Bet-David?

  More, obviously. If, with who?

• 1:06:54Adam Sosnick?

  With everybody. Trump? Trump basically said, okay, guys, you have two weeks to get this done. On the 13th day, he attacked. Oh, you have one week to get this done. 6th day, he said, let's get this done. Trump has more credibility than anybody at this point. If you don't take Trump seriously at this point, he's as serious as a heart attack. He's implemented deadlines, timelines, and red lines. Do you remember the red line that Obama did? Because you know, if you, if you cross this red line in Syria, we're not gonna play this game anymore. He did nothing. At this point, how do you not, do you think Trump's bluffing? You see what he did to Maduro?

• 1:07:28Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:07:29Adam Sosnick?

  You see what he did to the Ayatollah? Do you think Trump is bluffing at this point?

• 1:07:33Speaker 02

  No, but I think what Pat's saying is like now that they're, but the infrastructure-

• 1:07:36Adam Sosnick?

  They're gonna have to negotiate.

• 1:07:38Speaker 02

  No, yeah, what I'm saying is this, with who? Because as of right now, Adam, they're all dead and the moment a new guy steps up, he's getting killed. And like I said about the number-

• 1:07:46Adam Sosnick?

  And that only helps Trump's negotiations.

• 1:07:47Speaker 02

  I understand, but we're ready for this? Who, I hope that they've planned this out. Who's going to take the reins? Because I know Ra's al Palavie's talking about, "I'm gonna do it from afar and I'm gonna help." I hope the plan is engaged because, like I said, they only have 150,000 soldiers, Pat. They have like the elite, uh, Quds, uh-

• 1:08:03Adam Sosnick?

  The Quds Force?

• 1:08:04Speaker 02

  The Quds Force, they have that. But, uh, no, no. I'm Google, Rob.

• 1:08:07Adam Sosnick?

  IRGC.

• 1:08:08Speaker 02

  Find out how many soldiers does the IRGC have right now? I'm gonna say 120,000.

• 1:08:13Adam Sosnick?

  But that's just the IRGC.

• 1:08:14Speaker 02

  Okay, but how many, I'm saying in Iran.

• 1:08:16Adam Sosnick?

  Iranian army.

• 1:08:16Speaker 02

  That's the-

• 1:08:17Adam Sosnick?

  I think they have close to a million. I could be wrong, you can fact check that. But the Iranian regime, you tell me, Pat, is not, they're built to last.

• 1:08:24Speaker 02

  150,000.

• 1:08:26Adam Sosnick?

  Of the IRGC, what about the army?

• 1:08:29Patrick Bet-David?

  How many, just type in, how much total military-

• 1:08:31Adam Sosnick?

  Total military.

• 1:08:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Does Iran have? You know, you know what is, you know what's, one guy commented and he said, "You know, how come you were against America sending money to, total about 610,000 active troops, plus another 350 reservists, about a million."

• 1:08:46Adam Sosnick?

  About a million.

• 1:08:47Patrick Bet-David?

  So, yeah, so, but if you go to, "Hey, um, you know, what about Ukraine? You were against money going to Ukraine, all this other stuff." Okay, no problem. So, let's, let's kind of unpack that conversation with Ukraine, okay? One, did, did we start the war with Ukraine and Russia? No, that's between the two of them, right? Okay, who started that war?

• 1:09:08Speaker 02

  And Biden gave them an okay to do a minor incursion. He invited Russia to do it.

• 1:09:12Patrick Bet-David?

  How much, how much, how mu, uh, who started that war? Russia started that war.

• 1:09:16Speaker 02

  Russia started it, for sure.

• 1:09:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, great. And who's the bigger military, mightier military that you would say, "Dude, they're gonna kill him."

• 1:09:23Speaker 02

  Russia.

• 1:09:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, why was Ukraine able to last this long? Because of whose support?

• 1:09:28Speaker 02

  Our support.

• 1:09:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Who else's support?

• 1:09:29Adam Sosnick?

  US, the EU, NATO.

• 1:09:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, how, how much money did they get?

• 1:09:32Speaker 02

  Oh, 100, 100 billion?

• 1:09:34Patrick Bet-David?

  How much military did they get? How, how much money-

• 1:09:37Speaker 02

  Humanitarian military-

• 1:09:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, can you pull up how much money they got?

• 1:09:40Adam Sosnick?

  Remember, it was one step at a time. We'll give you some money, but we won't give you arms. But we'll only give you these guns.

• 1:09:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Look-

• 1:09:45Adam Sosnick?

  And we won't give you the checks and we won't give you these planes.

• 1:09:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, we're talking about almost 210 billion dollars-

• 1:09:51Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 1:09:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Of support. Now, check this out, where am I going with this? Here's where I'm going with this. For the people that are saying, "We don't want war, we don't want war, we don't want war." Who here, in this example, is Ukraine? Who is Russia?

• 1:12:07Adam Sosnick?

  Who's Russia, Ukraine in this example?

• 1:12:10Patrick Bet-David?

  In this example, who's Russia, Ukraine?

• 1:12:12Adam Sosnick?

  Well, if you want to start at the beginning of this conflict, you would start at October 7th, hypothetically.

• 1:12:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 1:12:17Adam Sosnick?

  And then...

• 1:12:18Patrick Bet-David?

  They started?

• 1:12:19Adam Sosnick?

  Israel would be Ukraine and Hamas would be Russia.

• 1:12:23Patrick Bet-David?

  So Israel would be Ukraine?

• 1:12:25Adam Sosnick?

  If you want to go back to that.

• 1:12:26Patrick Bet-David?

  No problem.

• 1:12:27Adam Sosnick?

  But you can go further back, I get it.

• 1:12:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, but we can go further back. But let's just look at this attack. Here, US came and attacked, here.

• 1:12:35Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:12:35Patrick Bet-David?

  US is negotiating nuclear with them.

• 1:12:38Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:12:38Patrick Bet-David?

  And they didn't want to do it, so they attacked, right? Who is the underdog here?

• 1:12:43Adam Sosnick?

  Iran is the underdog.

• 1:12:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course it is, right? So typically, what happens when there's an underdog? What happens when there's an underdog and a bully is bullying him? What typically happens?

• 1:12:52Adam Sosnick?

  People help the underdog.

• 1:12:53Patrick Bet-David?

  How come no one's helping Iran?

• 1:12:55Adam Sosnick?

  Weird. Exactly. Nobody's helping.

• 1:12:57Patrick Bet-David?

  How come no one's helping Iran? How come no one says, "Poor Iran, let's go help him"?

• 1:13:01Adam Sosnick?

  Well...

• 1:13:01Patrick Bet-David?

  How come their own people don't care about that? How come, you know, 81% of Iranians want this regime gone?

• 1:13:08Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 1:13:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Why do you think they want that? Who do you think knows more about Iran? Iranians who lived in Iran or people around the world? Why do you think they're celebrating? Why do you think they're excited? You know, John Shaheed, just send me a picture. John Shaheed is the CEO of Nelk Boys and Folsom Podcast. He tweeted something yesterday about his uncles. If you go to it, Rob, go to Twitter account, John Shaheed. He tweeted something about a picture of two of his mom's brothers. They killed because they did not want to support what was going on in Iran. Okay, go a little bit lower. I don't know if that's the count. That's not the count, Rob. Uh, that's it right there, Rob. That's the picture right there, right there. Zoom in a little bit. Look what it says.

• 1:13:50Patrick Bet-David?

  That picture, he says, "Two of these 11 men were my uncles, my mom's brothers. They were executed by firing squad for opposing the new Islamic Republic regime. Their trial was only 30 minutes long. They were convicted of being counter-revolution and executed by Sanam Daj. The photo took captured one of many brutal moments in Iran and won the Pulitzer Prize." Can you imagine this regime, what they're capable of doing? So there is no sympathy for these guys on what they're doing. My only thing is, how will they retaliate? I think they're so cornered right now.

• 1:14:27Patrick Bet-David?

  That you either have to sit there and say, well, these guys are the kamikaze type, which means they'll do what?

• 1:14:32Adam Sosnick?

  Blaze of glory.

• 1:14:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Anything, last shot, shoot up everything you got. What, did they shoot up a hospital? What did they shoot up in Israel? What did they get in Israel? Have they gotten any, anything in?

• 1:14:44Adam Sosnick?

  I believe they killed nine people in Beit Shemesh. They've, they've sent missiles, but apparently, uh, they shot up a, a hospital in, or a school in Iran. And they tried to blame it on the IDF and they tracked it back to a fallen military missile from Iran.

• 1:15:02Patrick Bet-David?

  So the, the school with the girls that everybody said Israel hit was a missile that came back down.

• 1:15:06Adam Sosnick?

  Coming back down. That's what the reports say.

• 1:15:08Tom Ellsworth?

  Multiple reports that it launched, it malfunctioned.

• 1:15:10Patrick Bet-David?

  See, that's the part, by, let me tell you, that's the disinformation camp. This goes back to Sinamorek's fire, by the way.

• 1:15:16Tom Ellsworth?

  And you have a lot of US influencers, Pat, that were saying, see, we killed this, we killed all these girls before it was even known, these are Americans that don't like Trump.

• 1:15:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Look, there's two things. There's two different things here. Let, let, let me just tell you, what's the part where, where, where everybody loses credibility? All of us, we're all a part of it, and I'm part of it as well, because I have opinions, right? And you push back, or we agree, or we go back and forth, right? Let me tell you, let me tell you where you lose credibility. How critical have I been of Reza Pahlavi?

• 1:15:44Adam Sosnick?

  Pretty damn critical.

• 1:15:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Has anybody been more critical of Reza Pahlavi, except from me? Uh, uh, that, that is in, you know, what do you call it? Somebody that's in the space? Nobody has been, right? To the point where he unfollowed me, his daughter unfollowed me, his wife got upset about what I said, all of this stuff. He, he, that entire community, the, the, the, what do you call it? The Pahlavi community. Adam, can you sit back a little bit? This is what Vinnie was talking about. So, the, the whole community is against it, right? But you gotta give the guy credit the last six weeks. And I've said it many times. He's done the right thing. You got, you lose credibility when you can't even give credit for anything the other person does right. That's when you lose credibility.

• 1:16:29Patrick Bet-David?

  And we were lobbying, we were talking about a couple of different guys in the space that are kind of distancing themselves from Trump. Probably because sponsorship money stopped, or jobs stop, or Hollywood jobs stopped and, you know, I'm not going to mention names, but you know, we were pretty vocal about it where it's like, hey, I think this is, it's a career decision. I get it on what could happen here. But to me, if this thing goes less than four weeks, if it goes less than four weeks, and it's done, they surrender, Iran opens up and 90 million people are officially in business, and, and, and that's safety in the Middle East, they all, imagine if Iran joins the border of peace. Hey, we're a border of peace. Imagine if they join that and say, hey, let's figure out a way to bring peace to the Middle East. Imagine if that actually does take place.

• 1:17:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Whose life is safer? Everyone's life is safer. If that happens, you have to give the man credit. But at the same time, I'm telling you guys right now, if this turns into six plus months, I, I, I have a hard time with that myself. If this, if this turns into a prolonged war with, you know, all this stuff and speculation, I'm telling you right now, I myself will come out and say, what happened here? But I don't think that's going to take place because I'm convinced to the core, the profile of a Trump, when you do, you know, in the insurance space, anyways, in the insurance space, I know what a man like Trump thinks like. We, we did business in similar ways, in a much smaller, you know, non-public thing that nobody tracks.

• 1:17:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I understand how a man like that thinks. If you don't go for their, if you go for their throat first, you make an example, you take them out, you earn credibility, then you go out there and say, now can we negotiate? And you become friends. If that's what he does, this could lead to possibly his biggest accomplishment. Anything you, I don't think you can put anything above this. This becomes the, what you talked about earlier, the Berlin, Berlin wall, you know, you know. Reagan and Bush. What's the famous line? Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall. Till today, you go to Simi Valley when we went and watched one of the Republican debates, part of the wall, also what they're, you know, the historic places that you have to. The Reagan Library.

• 1:18:42Patrick Bet-David?

  If that happens, you have to give him credit. If that happens, you have to have the conversations of Nobel Peace Prize. It's not even a conversation about that. If that happens, this, this may be, and I know a lot of liberals and libertarians and some of the guys that really don't want to see this guy win and they're really rooting against him. This guy's gonna be a, a once in a generation type of a leader that you had. I don't think any of the other guys on the left or the right could get, could get this job done. And on top of that, you know what's so impressive about this? He was able to drive every one of his guys. Hexit, he was criticized first. Look where he's at now. Besant, you're bringing a guy from, you know, uh, Soros, yes. Look what Rubio is doing. I, I don't know if you're following what's going on on Twitter right now.

• 1:19:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Everybody is calling for Rubio 2028. Yeah. Everybody calling for Rubio 2028. Everybody, okay? It's, it's typically be a VP, rarely a Secretary of State in a situation like this. But there come five Secretary States have become Presidents. Many VPs have, everyone's calling for Rubio. So he's not only winning, but I will tell you guys, this one is big. This risk he took, this one is big. Yeah. He rolled the dice. They get this? It's over. Midterms could be dictated based on how this thing ends. Midterms, all the congressmen and senators that are worried for their jobs. Guess what they all should be sitting there thinking about?

• 1:20:09Patrick Bet-David?

  If this thing goes right, I may have my job. If it doesn't go right, I may get fired. That's how wide of a range it is. Ugly and just historic on how this thing could turn out.

• 1:20:23Speaker 02

  And I, and I, great point, but there was a moment, I don't know if you saw this clip, there's a moment in the State of the Union where Trump gives Rubio a shout out and he steps back and Rubio is just sitting there like this and, and there's a, the camera flips and you see Trump give him the nod, like, I think that was that moment because JD's behind him giving him the nod. And I, I'll send the video to Rob, it's actually a really dope, dope moment. But Pat, here's my thing about what's happening. I want, and God rest the souls for the soldiers that were, um, killed in action because that, by the way, no boots on the ground. I want zero, zero boots, United States on the ground in Iran. And if by some crazy reason that we have to, Israel better put boots on the ground as well

• 1:21:06Speaker 02

  with us because when, when Iraq, they didn't put any troops on the ground. If we're going to play that game, they're going to come in with us. That's my only thing. I don't think it'll get there, but if it does, Israel better get their hands dirty as well in that sense, but I think this is going to be all aerial, all strategic, all military, all, all strikes and then until, so they realize everybody's gone, that they need to be gone and then the people take over.

• 1:21:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, if they're, you go ahead, Tom. I, I think it's very telling what the markets are doing this morning. West Texas intermediate, it's up 6%. Gold, it's up 2%. NASDAQ, down a tenth of a percent, 26. S and P, down two tenths of a percent, 14. The reaction from the market wasn't what the pundits on the Sunday news shows, oh, the markets will be in free fall on Monday. They're not. How sensitive are our stock markets, Adam, right now to uncertainty, to earnings reports, to the impact of AI? It moved more last week before the war even started in Wednesday when everybody freaked

• 1:22:10Tom Ellsworth?

  out about Block and was laying off 4,000. And I think what the markets are saying right now, Pat, is we feel pretty, excuse me, we feel pretty good about this. That's what the markets are saying. In an already tense situation for our markets with AI and layoffs, these markets are not moving, not the way that they were predicted to be. And I think that spells confidence from the underlying forces on the markets, wouldn't you say, Adam? Confidence that this is going to play out. This is not a free fall and a retreat to bonds and cash.

• 1:22:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, if you look at the S and P right now, what's S and P doing right now? Down 20? Dow is down 135, Nasdaq's down 39. Uh, I mean, listen, it's red, but it's not the kind of red you expect. And the day is still early, by the way. We got plenty of time.

• 1:23:02Tom Ellsworth?

  Oil, targets are down. West Texas Intermediate Drill Baby Drill, we are selling oil to the world right now at $71. That is leadership on energy and look how that's helping, helping the world. Look at this. Yeah, crude jumped up, but it went from 67 to 71. That's not a giant jump. That it means we are.

• 1:23:23Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think it'll be by the end of the week?

• 1:23:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Oil by the end of the week? I think oil will, will get to maybe 80 by the end of the week. I don't think the American oil will. I don't think so.

• 1:23:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam.

• 1:23:35Adam Sosnick?

  Well, you brought up the, the peace prize. I just want to address that for a second. Uh, when it comes to Trump and the peace prize, I think he doesn't care about that at this point. He solved all these wars, you know, eight wars, whatever it is. He says, oh, okay, you don't want to give it to me? Cool. I don't want to be liked. I want to be respected. I want to be feared and you better listen up. So to me, the, the, the greatest comedy, I know our friend Marcelo is a number one on Netflix right now. Is the top standup comedian, but the great, the greatest comedian act right now. The, the most laughable people are the Democratic Party at this point, especially the progressives. Who's taking these people seriously? Hey guys, stand up if you care about Americans first, or sit down if you care about illegal immigrants first.

• 1:24:19Adam Sosnick?

  They stay seated. So these people have such a severe case of TDS that they're not even rooting to free the Iranian people. Think about that for a second. They're so, like the gays for Gaza crowd, as I call them, they, they, they hate trade. They hate Trump so much that they're rooting against America. They're not recognizing these people are calling for their freedom and they don't silence. The, what's the one thing they've said in the last month? Well, well, you know, yeah, Israel, they, they, they shot a, a school full of children. Uh, turned out that was the IRGC. But if that's what you care about, you didn't care that 30, 40, 50,000 Iranians were killed?

• 1:25:04Adam Sosnick?

  To me, it's the hypocrisy and Trump is just focusing on the signal.

• 1:25:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you how to market.

• 1:25:12Patrick Bet-David?

  You will watch and everybody has their own ideology. Okay, of where they're at, everybody. Everybody used to love me when I was only talking about business until I started opening my mouth about politics and supporting Trump. Then all of a sudden, you know what, just stick to business and okay, totally. And by the way, I understand why you don't like me talking about politics. But then, long term, three, five, 10, this is a 20-year race. On who gains credibility with their voice and during the 20 years, guess what's gonna happen? A lot of fumbles, a lot of mistakes, a lot of ups and downs, and everyone's gonna watch. How people handle themselves, if they were fair players or not.

• 1:25:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Long term, the market is always gonna favor fair players, always. If you're able to stay reasonable, Rob, can you pull up the power versus force? The power versus force, I always go back to this, if you go to power versus force. And you listen to any of the influencers, commentators, CNN, whoever you want to talk about, podcasters. And look at the level, okay, that's terrible quality. That the best one, Rob? There's a better one, but if he clicks on it, it'll open up. You just have to click on it to open up for the quality to be better because, no, meaning click on the visit, yeah, there you go, zoom in. Or it's still pretty bad, zoom in a little bit, Rob? Okay, we'll just work with this. So if you look from the lowest level and focus on the word level.

• 1:26:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Not God view, life view, scale, go to level, go all the way down. Shame, these are people that are driven by shame. Then guilt, then apathy, then grief, then fear, then desire, then anger. Then pride, courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace, enlightenment, right? Your goal is to be in the blue, okay, and it takes a long time to get in the blue and we all flirt with orange. Everybody flirts with orange, so by the way, nobody doesn't flirt with that, but it's how long do you stay there? Okay, how long do you stay there, are you able to reason? Are you able to love? Are you able to go through acceptance to say, hey? We have differences. I get it.

• 1:27:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you willing to have the conversation? Are you willing to see the other side and what they're thinking about? Market long term is going to favor all these comments that's made. The rage baiting comments, they're great for viewership. But reason is critical. Can these people reason? Can they have an understanding of what's going on? And by the way, sometimes it's us. It's like, let me understand what the other side of the argument is. Why do you believe what you believe in? This is the reason why. Okay, great. And I think we have to go back to that. But right now tensions are high FYI. Until this thing ends, I don't think the criticism is going to stop. And I actually understand it for the people to say, oh, you said it's not going to be war. I get that. Light it up as much as you want.

• 1:28:05Patrick Bet-David?

  But by if this thing ends early, I'm curious to know what they're going to say. Is it going to be but? But look at, but what about? But how about? Or is it going to be like, man, I got to give the guy credit? I don't know what's going to happen there, but we'll be watching the market to see how they react to it. Let me get to the next story here. Rob, is there anything of, oh, Vinnie, do you want to go to the Austin one? Let's go to the Austin story. So Austin, you were talking about the shooter earlier and how this has to do a little bit to do. FBI investigating Austin mass shooting as potential terrorism. Austin bar mass shooter possibly motivated by Iran attacks. Koran found in car as FBI eyes terrorism after two killed, 14 injured. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:28:48Speaker 18

  I want to bring this in now. I've been telling everybody about the Austin mass shooter and now we have a picture. And this is what we're finding out per multiple federal law enforcement sources to our own Bill Malusian. The Austin mass shooter is a 53 year old naturalized US citizen who was born in Senegal and was living in Flugerville, Texas. Material recovered from his person and inside the vehicle give possible indications of a nexus to terrorism as the FBI announced earlier today. And remember what we said he had in his possession and was also wearing. The shooter was wearing clothing that said Allah on it. His sweater said property of Allah.

• 1:29:27Speaker 18

  And there's also known to be an undershirt with an Iranian flag and other materials inside. And remember what Representative Michael McCaul of Texas just told me last hour? He said, "Harris, in my own backyard just last night, we had an event that possibly could have been terror-inspired right here in Austin, Texas." This is what he was talking about. Brett, I was reminding Americans, this is not a new place for us to be in, in terms of keeping our heads on a swivel. But it bears repeating, we've lost Americans in the fight on the battlefield and protecting the homeland now.

• 1:30:05Speaker 02

  Robbie, can you stop right there? And I want to reiterate it again, when you can't win on the battlefield there, how are you going to hurt us? We are superior in our military, with our allies. We are kicking butt. How do you hurt us? And I think this is going to be their way. This is going to be it. And I can't emphasize enough what Alejandro Mayorkas, by the orders of who? Because I know it wasn't Joe Biden, that literally, literally, the only other... Okay, besides the kids, sex-trafficked kids, besides the fentanyl from China, this was it, Pat. They brought people in. I'm not saying this guy from Senegal, whatever, was... He's a naturalized citizen.

• 1:30:46Speaker 02

  But the up to 2 million people that aren't here, that were given cellphones, and I guarantee you, they were told, "Hey, go chill and wait for the call. Just wait for the call." This is one of those moments, where you want to hurt us, you hurt us here. So I tell people, don't be afraid, be armed, be smart, and just watch, be aware of your surroundings, because this is just the beginning. This happened the day after that we attacked. I'm pretty sure there's going to be more of these, Tom, especially live events, especially in churches. My churches being our security at our churches, no joke. I just want people to know that this is the only way that they're going to hurt us, is hurt us here. Tom.

• 1:32:47Tom Ellsworth?

  Do not let your hearts be troubled. You know, there are people that are going to be copycats. There are people that are trying to do things. There are people that want a small thing to make you afraid. This is the world in which we live. And if you think that actions outside the US are triggering these things, and that's the only thing, and they never would have happened if it wasn't for that, then you're not paying attention to what's happening in the US. You need to be diligent, you need to be courageous, but we also need to be serious and clear-headed about what we've allowed to come into this country. And what was allowed to cross the border. And what crossed the border in those getaways was some bad people. You remember the guy, Tom, that was like, "Soon you will know my name." Soon you will know my name. Right at the border.

• 1:33:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Waiting to be processed and waiting for the truck to lift the barbed wire so he could just walk on over. Yeah. Right? So, we need to be diligent. And this guy infuriates me, but sadly, it doesn't surprise me. I'm not surprised by it, but I don't accept it.

• 1:33:51Patrick Bet-David?

  The Austin shooting?

• 1:33:52Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 1:33:53Patrick Bet-David?

  The Austin shooting? Adam, you have any thoughts on that?

• 1:33:55Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, of course. So, what's the reality? How many people were killed in this Austin shooting? I think two. Two? Three, I think. Okay, how many people were shot? Two and 15 at this hour. Okay, so... What disgusts me is that there's people's reaction on the internet. The first thing they say, "It's a false flag. It's a false flag." Okay, show me, show me proof of that. Because there's people dead, there's people shot. You know, they say when, when someone tells you who they are, believe them. At the same time, we have the Democrats refusing to fund the Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security is in a stalemate right now. It's basically the equivalent of like, hey, mom's like, listen, clean up your room.

• 1:34:39Adam Sosnick?

  And the kid's like, well, buy me a present first. Secure the border. This is who's coming through the border. You always talk about the people from, was it Azerbaijan or whoever they were? Soon you will know my name. Well, now we know people's names. Where did they come in from? How did they get here? So to me, it, it, a lot of people go to false flags, setup. Who was it? Sometimes it's just the obvious that the enemies of America live in America. And want to bring America to its knees.

• 1:35:08Speaker 02

  This was during the Biden administration. By the way, he just walked over the border. And you guys tell me, what's the reason? Give me the logic of why you would let somebody like this in the country. Go ahead, Rob, play this.

• 1:35:19Speaker 19

  Peace, by the way. If you are smart enough, you would know who I am. But you are really not smart enough to know who I am. But soon you're gonna know who I am. Very soon. Very soon. The entitlement.

• 1:35:32Speaker 02

  Look at that guy.

• 1:35:33Speaker 19

  No, believe me, I'm much better than that. The entitlement, guys.

• 1:35:38Speaker 02

  And the guy that's recording, not the entitlement. The hell are you talking about? The guy's warning you that soon you're gonna know my name. Why? You think he's gonna win a Nobel Peace Prize? He's gonna play for USC and throw the winning touchdown? No, that's a threat. And they didn't do nothing about it. And that guy is in the United States. And he's so-called, wait till you see, soon you're gonna know my name. I wouldn't be surprised.

• 1:35:58Tom Ellsworth?

  His ethnicity and his accent, clearly just a guy from Guadalajara looking for a better life.

• 1:36:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's all, that's all.

• 1:36:04Adam Sosnick?

  You know what I, you know what I call this? I call this Ilhan Omar syndrome. Where you're, you've plucked, been plucked out of a, a corrupt.

• 1:36:13Adam Sosnick?

  Asshole of a country Somalia, you've been given refugee in the United States and all you want to do is talk trash about the United States. To me, the entitlement, the victimhood, the ungratefulness is what it comes down to. And it comes from the people that show up and think that they just deserve all the benefits of an American, or it's the people who are elected to Congress and they get elected on grievance and it's just, it's perpetually this victim, America's the worst, the white man's the worst, down with the patriarchy. It's perpetually nonsense. And I think just the average American is so sick of it at this point. And we'll see what happens in midterms, but this is the reason why Trump got elected.

• 1:36:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. By the way, yesterday, the news came out that former president of Iran Ahmadinejad was killed. And if you guys haven't seen this report from New York Post that came out and it was going viral all over the place. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's ex-president, who said Israel must be wiped off the map, killed in Israeli airstrike. Their team, we were supposed to have him on the podcast last Friday. He was scheduled to do a 45-minute interview last Friday on the podcast. And we've spoken a few times about doing this. Every time we did, one time, we were supposed to travel to a destination in Europe to do a face-to-face interview. Last minute, he canceled because he was worried about his

• 1:37:38Patrick Bet-David?

  life. And then the reports that he was killed. I got an update from his team. I'm telling you what his team told me. So this is their team telling us, this is not true, that he is not killed, he's alive, they hit down the street from where he was at, and they didn't kill him. So this is their report to us as a first thing this morning. Okay? That this may come out. And remember, I'm telling you, their team is telling me this. So we don't know for a fact, this may or may not be accurate. And I was the one that tweeted saying the fact that he was supposed to be on the podcast last Friday. So just be aware when you're hearing reports about him, he may still be alive. They did hit up

• 1:38:22Patrick Bet-David?

  a building down the street, but not the property he was in, allegedly, according to the team that we've been in communication with. And we've done a few Zooms with them, with Ahmadinejad. We've actually done Zooms with them early Sunday mornings. So we've had conversation with them. He and I have spoken to each other in Farsi. But you know, you may see a new update coming in that he is alive, that he has not been killed.

• 1:38:45Adam Sosnick?

  Well, if he is, he should probably send a video saying I'm alive. I don't trust anything that comes out of Iran, including this guy. When he was fearing for his life, maybe you can paint a picture for me. Obviously, everyone in the regime should feel for their life when it comes to America and the IDF. But correct me if I'm wrong, he was fearing for his life from the regime, Iranian regime.

• 1:39:09Patrick Bet-David?

  From the Iranian regime, yes.

• 1:39:10Adam Sosnick?

  So the Iranian regime wanted to kill their own former president. Is that, can you walk me through that logic?

• 1:39:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes, because he's not an insider. He was an outsider, even though he said wipe Israel off the face of the earth. He was still an outsider. He wasn't somebody that claimed China Global Times, former Iranian government, not killed in attack, claimed China's Global Times.

• 1:39:31Adam Sosnick?

  So just, even though he was an outsider, he was an insider to the number one ideology, which was, America's the great Satan, Israel's a little Satan, we will wipe Israel off the map.

• 1:39:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but he wasn't as much of a loyalist as everybody else was.

• 1:39:49Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 1:39:50Patrick Bet-David?

  He still doesn't like you, just so you know that. Okay, I want you to know that, that didn't make a difference.

• 1:39:55Adam Sosnick?

  Well, can I, can I address that?

• 1:39:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Sure.

• 1:39:57Adam Sosnick?

  And, and thank you for not liking me, but you know what today is? I'm gonna do a little biblical history lesson, this is not typical of my thing. Today is the beginning of Purim, which is a holy holiday, and it goes back to 2,500 years ago in Persia. There was a king, Ahashveros, and a queen called Esther. The Jewish queen was married to a Persian king. And there was a very bad man named Haman. So Haman, much like Ahmadinejad, much like the Ayatollah, their number one goal was to wipe all the Jews off the map. This is why Jews call these people Amalek. These people who are sworn to kill the Israelites, the Hebrews, the Jews.

• 1:40:41Adam Sosnick?

  And Queen Esther had an uncle called Mordecai. And Mordecai was able to convince Queen Esther to help the, the king to, to, to do away with the evil Haman. Long story short is this. Today on Purim, the Hebrews, the Jews, the Israelites, we eat a dessert called the Hamantasian, Hamantasian, which is named after the evil man Haman. So something's telling me that the Jews are gonna be eating desserts called Chomani, or possibly even Emadimijad in the near future. This is not bluster, this is not hearsay. It has been said in the Bible that the enemies of the Israelites will meet their fate,

• 1:41:26Adam Sosnick?

  and here's another one examples of that. Sunset today, it starts. Yeah, that's just biblical right there.

• 1:41:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, thank you for that education. It was great for us to know, and I wonder how many converts you just got from that, but that was awesome, that's great.

• 1:41:37Adam Sosnick?

  But even the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ celebrated Purim.

• 1:41:41Speaker 02

  No, I want dessert, thank you.

• 1:41:42Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, I want to share something with you, which, how quickly things change. I want you to watch this clip from Hillary Clinton of what she said about Iran if she were to be a president. Go ahead, Rob. She sounds like a guy we may know, go ahead.

• 1:41:59Speaker 20

  And I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president, we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development they might be in their nuclear weapons program in the next 10 years, during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a terrible thing to say, but those people who run Iran need to understand that, because that perhaps will deter them from doing something that would be reckless, foolish, and tragic. And I want the Iran-

• 1:42:30Speaker 02

  She's scary, listen, let me say this, she's just scary. I can't imagine like being her kid and she's like, "Well, clean your room."

• 1:42:36Adam Sosnick?

  Wearing that red jacket too, boy. I have a different perspective on that.

• 1:42:39Speaker 02

  Mom's gonna kill me.

• 1:42:39Adam Sosnick?

  I think the world would be a much better place if Hillary Clinton was elected president and not Barack Obama. I think Barack Obama sounded like a great guy, but behind closed doors, he was weak. He went on this apology tour, "We're so sorry for what Bush did," and Bush is no better. But at least Hillary Clinton would have done what Trump is doing. So, so I'm not defending everything that Hillary's ever done. But a lot of this goes back to Obama and his appeasement to Iran. I think the United States made a grave mistake attacking Iraq. The biggest problem that we've been facing is Iran, not Iraq. Not that Saddam Hussein was a great guy whatsoever. That society was gonna crumble regardless with partisan fighting between Shiites and Sunnis.

• 1:43:22Adam Sosnick?

  But I, I believe to my core that Trump is doing the right thing regarding Iran. Iran is holding the world hostage. And last point, do we want to get to the point where Iran would have a nuclear weapon and they're holding the world hostage like North Korea's in the Far East? So to me, Hillary Clinton with all her flaws was at least tough and tough on her enemies. Unlike Barack Obama who sounded like a nice guy, but did nothing other than implement trans and LGBTQ into our society.

• 1:43:52Speaker 02

  Well, in all fairness for him, there was a guy named Isaiah Martin who posted, whether the guy tried to get into politics and he became a, you know what he was, then he became like a social media poster, whatever.

• 1:44:01Adam Sosnick?

  Who's Isaiah Martin?

• 1:44:02Speaker 02

  Uh, Rob, I think I sent it to Isaiah Martin.

• 1:44:04Adam Sosnick?

  Don't talk trash about Isaiah Martin.

• 1:44:06Speaker 02

  He posted, he posted something that said, if Obama did this, speaking about Iran, they'd be demanding impeachment. And then the community donated him and goes, Obama did this and more. And you ready for this, Adam? Cause you're saying he didn't do nothing? In 2016 alone, Barack Hussein Obama, the Christian president, authorized the dropping of 26,171 bombs across seven countries, not Iran.

• 1:44:30Adam Sosnick?

  Not Iran.

• 1:44:31Speaker 02

  Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan. And over eight years, Pat, eight years, he carried out over 100,000 airstrikes, airstrikes with thousands of thousands of civilians deaths. By the way. And one US citizen. And one citizen. No marches, no crazy, no, oh my God, the world's gonna end. But notice, it says who's the president, who's not. But that is what, that's the best community note I saw all day yesterday and that was it. Obama did this and more. So yeah, Iran, Iran wasn't on there, but he was still doing his, you know.

• 1:45:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, is this the guy? I don't know that picture. Can you? Is this the guy? Jajubli? Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. He's the guy that a couple of kids destroyed him.

• 1:45:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, he got wrecked.

• 1:45:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, he was, uh, he had a hard time with these kids, but... Okay, all right, so let's get to the next story. Next story I want to get to is... Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. Uh, I'm trying to see, do we go to this one? Okay, let's go to the critics of what they've said about it. Rob, do you have the critics of what they're saying about this? Um, I think you have a clip of Ilhan Omar, AOC, a bunch of them. Do you have all of them? Is this Mamdani talking about Iran?

• 1:45:39Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:45:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it.

• 1:45:41Speaker 21

  Today we woke up to the news of Iran getting bombed by proxy by America and Israel. I just want to know what you would want to say to Iranian diaspora in New York City and abroad who are watching your ratings of the news.

• 1:45:54Speaker 02

  I think before I share my own thoughts, I'd first just like to...

• 1:45:57Patrick Bet-David?

  I can't hear nothing, so Rob, we can skip this one here because he, he sounds like he's talking dirty to us.

• 1:46:02Speaker 02

  His tweet was horrible.

• 1:46:04Patrick Bet-David?

  What's his tweet?

• 1:46:05Speaker 02

  His tweet was horrible, Rob. His tweet was absolutely disgusting. What was his tweet?

• 1:46:10Patrick Bet-David?

  The Ace military strikes on Iran carried out by the US and Israel marks a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression, bombing cities, killing civilians, opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace. I'm focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I've been in contact with our police commission, emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing, enhancing protocols of sensitive locations out of, and a buttons of caution. Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers. You are part of the fabric of this city. You are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe. This message is brought to you by Chad G. T. Go ahead.

• 1:46:52Speaker 02

  Yeah. I swear to you, I was just gonna say that with those hyphens. Or, like, again, besides the failure, he hasn't done anything right. People, the homeless people, the, the crap in the streets, the garbage, every policy, taking photos with alleged co-conspirators of terrorist attacks. He said nothing, nothing. When Iranians were getting slaughtered in the streets, which was a freaking one-week massacre, he... Was silent when the women were getting beaten to death because of their hijabs. Where now all of a sudden he finally finds his voice and he's not standing for peace. He's not standing for human rights. He's standing up for terrorists, terrorists, the Islamic State of those people were freaking terrorists. He's a disgrace. I think he's a disgrace, Pat, and I wonder if on nine 11, if he'd been mayor, he'd be tweeting about,

• 1:47:35Speaker 02

  you know, understanding Al Qaeda's perspective instead of actually standing shoulder to shoulder with the freaking firefighters and the people that were fighting. He's absolutely disgusting, but I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised that he's going to be talking about bombing civilian cities and no, no, they're not. They're, they're striking where Khomeini was living and military targets. He's just full of crap, but I'm not surprised that he's siding with the, with the enemy. Period.

• 1:47:57Patrick Bet-David?

  What, what did Ilhan Omar say? What is she saying here from President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran, including without congressional authorization, without a clear objective and without any eminent threat to the U.S. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line. As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer. They will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction. We know who will bear the cost of this decision. Innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members send into harm way. Uh, this is the devastating human toll of another regime change war already. Children and families are paying the price.

• 1:48:41Patrick Bet-David?

  The American people are exhausted by endless wars. There you go. Even Rokana came out with Thomas Massey, right? Saying this is unlawful. And then is that Ilhan Omar, Rob, the last one? And then Adam, I'm going to come to you. Trump has launched. So they're all on the same page. Someone, they're saying the same thing. Go ahead.

• 1:48:55Adam Sosnick?

  Well, everyone falls into four different camps, in my opinion. So from left to right or from right to left, on the far right, you have the America only camp, the isolationist, the non-interventionist, stay out of everything ostrich people, which I understand. We don't want any more endless wars, foreign conflict. I get it. But the world's going to come for you. You're not just going to always sit back and have to deal with what the world's going to throw your way. The world, the, the bad guys will, will show up at your doorstep. So in my The American only people are nearsighted. Then you have the America first people, the Trump people, the peace through strength. The people say, listen, I don't want to have to mess you up. But if you keep knocking on my door, talking trash, we're gonna have a problem.

• 1:49:40Adam Sosnick?

  So that, that to me is not America alone. It's America first, but we'll still solve the world's problems. Then you have the global first. The elites, the establishment, the traditional alliances, the NATO people, the globalists, the Natos. I get it, those people. But then these people, on the very far left, the progressives, the Ilhan Omars, the AOCs, the Mam Donnys, this is America last. These are people who are not proud to be Americans, they're Marxists, they're open borders, they're anti-imperialist, they're anti-capitalist. They don't love America, in my opinion. But if they do love America, they have a very strange way of showing it. So in my opinion, the correct way to be is America first, not America only, and certainly not America last.

• 1:50:26Adam Sosnick?

  Those people are all America last.

• 1:50:28Speaker 02

  And think about, Adam, think about it. What's Mam Donny's religion?

• 1:50:31Adam Sosnick?

  He is Islamic.

• 1:50:33Speaker 02

  Okay, okay, what's Ilhan Omar? What's Rashida Tlaib? Rokan, all these guys, they're not Christian, they're not, bro, I'm telling you right now, and especially with Mam Donny, I understand the constitution and stuff, but people like that, with that belief, and I don't think that he should ever hold any public office. If that's your attitude, if your attitude is anti-America and you're sticking up for freaking Islamic state of terrorism of freaking Iran, then what the hell is he in charge? Look at what's happening. Look at what, look at the state and look at the ideology, okay? It's absolutely ridiculous, bro. I, I, I'm, I'm not a fan at all of what he's doing, Pat, and I don't think people like that should hold public office in the United States. Can we go, can you go right now, or Capago, or, or Tom, go to one of these countries that

• 1:51:18Speaker 02

  they come from and, and hold public office? I'm being dead serious. As a Christian, can you go to a Muslim nation and hold office right now? Then why the hell are we letting him do it here? He hates, he hates America. He plays that stupid look, that funny face, like he, he knows what he's doing.

• 1:51:32Tom Ellsworth?

  No, there's two sides here. There's the true believers, which is Omar, you know, and Tlaib. I believe they're true believers on their side.

• 1:51:39Speaker 02

  On what?

• 1:51:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Newsom is the opportunist. Newsom sits here, tries to put, in a tweet yesterday, tries to put one foot in each camp, which causes him to uncross his legs, which is also fun to watch. And he's out there talking. He is the opportunist trying to score points politically. They're very, very different. I think he is far more disgusting than they are because them, I look at them and I say, "This is what they believe. I disagree with it. I wonder how they got elected in this country, but at least I understand." Actually, I don't respect, but I understand the purity of their position and the purity of their hatred coming from their position, who they've told me who they are, and they prove who they are, and I believe it. He is this opportunist. That really sickens me.

• 1:52:23Adam Sosnick?

  Tom, I actually agree with you on this one. The Gavin Newsom camp is a typical politician. He lies to your face and tells you not to believe your lying eyes. Those people on that side, they're ruining America, and they're saying it out loud. I said this before on the last show, there used to be a time where if you were a communist, or you were a socialist, you had to kind of keep that on the down-low. Shout-out to R. Kelly. Now they're campaigning on it. They're campaigning on the fact that they're democratic socialists. They're campaigning on the fact that they are Marxists. So to me, this is not something that America should or would want to stand by, but I do understand that you're saying that's exactly who they are, and at least they're not lying about it. Whereas Gavin Newsom, you don't know

• 1:53:08Adam Sosnick?

  what flip-flop he's gonna do.

• 1:53:10Tom Ellsworth?

  I know how to work with them. I know how they're gonna do.

• 1:53:12Adam Sosnick?

  And you said that they don't have to work with them. Trump says, "You know, I bring Mom down to the office." Nice guy, communist, nice guy. At least he tells you who he is, and you have to deal with it on its surface. But I understand where you're coming from.

• 1:53:24Speaker 02

  What's this one, Rob?

• 1:53:25Tom Ellsworth?

  We played this last week, Rob. We played this last week. And they keep saying illegal. And the word of the day that the media is using with this is illegal. But you have Fetterman and other people are pointing out that the War Powers Act provides for that, and that Trump has to take steps right now. We're in the window he has to take it. But just like, what word did they use for January 6th? Because it's in the Constitution. Insurrection. So the word of the day is illegal. Insurrection was not proven. It was never proven. As a matter of fact, it was disproven. And now they're saying illegal. But under the War Powers Act, what happens when he gives notice? What? happens when he backs off and what happens you find out well guess what he I don't like it I felt like he was getting into a war I think he was breaking a campaign promise of many people well guess what

• 1:54:10Tom Ellsworth?

  he has 60 days is that right right he's got boys up 48 hours 72 hours and 60 days

• 1:54:15Patrick Bet-David?

  yeah let's go to next story so while this is going on you know who was on 60 minutes last night Reza Pahlavi okay uh do you guys watch it to watch the whole thing okay so Reza Pahlavi was on 60 minutes obviously we can't play because every time we do 60 minutes uh uh cuts it off but it was interesting he did get emotional he cried about one of the uh uh firemen that was carrying somebody that they ended up still killing and it was an emotional moment at the end of the interview but he was very firm he was confident and uh he was also on uh uh is it Maria Barter uh uh

• 1:54:46Tom Ellsworth?

  Maria Barteroma CNBC

• 1:54:48Patrick Bet-David?

  he made a promise and people are reacting a couple different ways on this here go ahead Rob

• 1:54:53Speaker 22

  economic growth and what have you just by a change that we hope to bring to the table that would be probably uh over a trillion dollars worth of impact and revenue to the American economy just by Iran's market being open to to America and how much we stand to benefit from billions of dollars willing to be invested into Iran and economic growth and what have

• 1:55:14Patrick Bet-David?

  how do you process that so he's saying if it opens up it could be how much money and business returning for installing him I don't know if he's saying for installing him okay he is still saying I want to be the transitional leader and I think on 60 minutes they asked him do you want to be the king do you want to be the president neither he says I'm just trying to be the transitional leader while they're going through this next phase Tom what do you think about what he's saying he would trillions trillions of dollars worth of business in return

• 1:55:43Tom Ellsworth?

  uh I I believe him if you look at energy trade you look at um opportunities for US uh uh companies and construction and I'm going to say a terrible word here there's Halliburton and a lot of and GE and a lot of companies out there that would get contracts for doing a lot of rebuilding I think he's right I think he's right that if there is a stabilized Iran that was well behaved and the sanctions the economic sanctions came off that that's a trillion dollars worth of business now I think if he puts it that way and he's kind of clever with it he's got to be careful with it either you're going to be a transitional leader and you're going to help restore order and someone's going to be there or not but I I think it's

• 1:56:25Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know, how do you dangle, well, if you let me get in there and be transitioned, I'll get you a trillion dollars. That's kind of what I heard, and it's like, wait a minute, we're talking about peace and stability. The fact that there would be economic output later, we believe that, it will happen, but don't dangle it in the same sentence.

• 1:56:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, there's a couple of things he said, that, look, when you're on TV, the big screen for a long time, you're gonna have a couple of fumbles, no matter who you are. You're not gonna be able to perfect it, our president has been part of that, then we have to give credit to the goat as well, Joe Biden, he's had way too many fumbles. But, in this case, he revealed two things. One, hey, if you put me in, I am gonna give a lot of business back to US, okay, yes. And, and by the way, if that's the position he's making, and then there's another thing that he said in the 60 Minutes, he says, look, whether US Trump would intervene or not, we were just not gonna stop until we

• 1:57:23Patrick Bet-David?

  became free. Big difference. You can say that all you want, your people don't have weapons, Iranians don't have weapons, Iranians don't have a way of fighting back, Iranians don't have a way of doing anything back for their freedom. They don't have that kind of power. They needed somebody from the outside. And for 47 years, you've been around to be able to do this, you've not been able to succeed, until one guy showed up that had the courage to help you, and that guy's who? Donald J. Trump, and without him, none of this stuff would have happened. And by the way, we're not even there yet, but to me, it is something that was brought up, that if Iran does become free, that business comes back to US. Adam, where are you at with this?

• 1:57:58Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I mean, I think that's wishful thinking, I think that's something that we can deal with later, but let's go back to the people of Iran, right? Because we're losing focus on, on what they stand for. Part of the reason that this even happened is because the people of Iran were so sick of the economy that was going on in Iran. Have you been following the actual economy in Iran? So, the, the, let's walk through follow the money right now. You know, we're so focused on America first here, you know, stop outsourcing our jobs, you know, protect our own citizens, what about the whole make Iran great again thing? What has the regime done for the people of Iran over the last 47 years? They've been funding terrorism all over the globe, they've been investing

• 1:58:43Adam Sosnick?

  in nuclear technology, meanwhile...

• 1:58:46Adam Sosnick?

  Their people are some of the most miserable, poorest people in the Middle East. Their currency has been devalued, their misery index, unemployment and inflation is all-time highs. Their economy is in complete shambles. And there's a famous phrase in Iran, they're saying, "We're not gonna basically die for Gaza or Hezbollah in Iran." And the Supreme Leader, rest his soul, the Ayatollah, has been funding all these operations. And what have the people of Iran got for it? They have dirty drinking water, they have no money, youth unemployment is sky-high. And if they want to come out on the streets and say, "Hey, we don't like this." What does the regime do? Kill them. So I keep going back to the same thing. The world is so much of a better place without the Ayatollah. Yes, we can talk about the economy.

• 1:59:31Adam Sosnick?

  Yes, we can talk about following the money. But at some point, people's lives are more important than trillions of dollars. Respect a Rezapalavi for promising, maybe over-promising, the money that's gonna come to the people of Iran or America. But the people of Iran are dying for freedom and we shouldn't lose sight of that.

• 1:59:48Tom Ellsworth?

  It's hard to say. We'll never give up. This would've happened anyway when you were down 30,000 to nothing at the end of the first quarter and it was a horrible cost. And you think all those people were still gonna be out there? Some of them would, but some of them are feeling defeated, burying their loved ones. So I think it's really tough to say, "Oh, we wouldn't have stopped and would've got here anyway." How?

• 2:00:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's true. So let me get to a couple other stories here before we wrap up. One, here's what Jamie Dimon thinks is about to happen. Jamie Dimon warns of pre-financial crisis parallels. Says some people are doing dumb things. Rob, I don't know if you have a clip on this or not, I think you do. While you're pulling that up, let me read some of this here. JP Morgan Chase issued a warning that some conditions in financial markets are reminding him of the years leading up to the 2008 crisis. And I think the clip that you have goes deeper into it. Is this him speaking, Rob?

• 2:00:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, there's a clip of him in this newscast. It's only 45 seconds.

• 2:00:46Speaker 23

  Dimon says he is starting to see parallels to the era. I can't imagine, this is almost 20 years ago. So before the 2008 GFC, that's a global financial crisis, when a rush to make loans ended, as we know now, disastrously. Now, Dimon was responding to a question about fierce competition in the financial industry.

• 2:01:09Speaker 24

  Unfortunately, we did see this in 05, in 06, in 07, almost the same thing. The rising tide lifts all boats. Everyone was making a lot of money. I don't know how long it's going to be great for everybody. I see a couple of people doing some dumb things. You know, they're just doing dumb things to create NII or say they're winning in the Marcus business, something like that.

• 2:01:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, Aziz, do you agree with him?

• 2:01:34Tom Ellsworth?

  What he's talking about is that there's a lot of debt sloshing around. Whenever you have asset prices up like this, you also have a lot of debt. You know why that is?

• 2:01:41Speaker 02

  Why?

• 2:01:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Because you can use assets as collateral for debt. When people's houses were up crazy and you had people, it was too easy to get home loans and the home highs was high, you also had people getting a lot of HELOCs, taking money out of it, and you see that here. And when he says NII, he's talking about net interest income. So he's saying, Pat, that there's a lot of net interest income in the market and that there's people doing some dumb things with how they're leveraged. And he's speaking to private equity that uses, there's a lot of cash in private equity, but he's also speaking to private equity that's using three, four, five, six turns. You and I know what that means, Pat. You use three, four, five, six times EBITDA to use debt and then you're using the rest

• 2:02:27Tom Ellsworth?

  in cash. So he's pointing out that when it's easy money and assets are high and it's easy to get debt, sometimes people are reckless with debt and he's absolutely right. Now, does that mean that the whole house of cards falls tomorrow? No, he's issuing a cautionary tale. He doesn't want it to fall because he's a debt issuer. He's a lender and he's a manager of capital and he's the biggest.

• 2:02:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, let me read this to you and then Adam, I'm going to come to you on this next one because it kind of goes together. Is panic as one in seven buyers ditch home purchases at the last minute as fears of 2008 style crash rose. Anxiety is morning in the housing market after a new report revealed that one in seven home sales fell through last month. A troubling signal that echoes pattern seen in the run-up. Of the 2008 Redfin data found that nearly 40,000 home sales agreements were canceled in January. That's equivalent to almost 14% of the old houses that went under contract. Last month's cancellations rate was up a staggering 13% from just a year earlier and represented the highest January share in almost a decade.

• 2:03:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Another factor driving the high cancellation rates is financial uncertainty. White House prices are dropped while houses prices are dropping significantly from the pandemic peaks, they're still historically high. The median sell price for a home a decade ago was 300, according to federal data today, it's 423. Tom?

• 2:03:55Tom Ellsworth?

  So there's a couple of things going on here and both of them are bad. Two. One, you've got, this is no longer isolated markets. The mainstream media likes to pick on an isolated market. They've been picking on Tampa, Fort Myers, you know, for two years, Pat, we've been watching this, right? But people forget that we had the hurricanes down there, there's rebuilding gone down there, and there's also been an insurance response that makes that area very expensive to insure. And they've been picking on Austin because Austin was hyper-built and there was all these problems there. You separate those, they're talking about Atlanta, Georgia. They're talking about Atlanta that's having 14%. So these are people getting up to the very moment where you're going to finance the loan and you have to what's called lock in your loan rate, Vinny.

• 2:04:38Tom Ellsworth?

  And you also have to, at that point, the bank tells you about PNI, primary mortgage insurance, and whether you need to hold back. And you also look at what the property tax and the insurance is going to be. All of that comes together then, and you know what buyers are saying? 14% were saying, you know what? I don't want to do this. And they're backing out. Or their bank is warning them and saying, you're not going to get the best rate, you're going to get this because with the property tax in this, your rate's going to be this. And so what we're seeing right now, Pat, is prices starting to move down and we have more buyers than sellers. It's been, this has been the biggest gap, I think, in 21 years that we've seen this. And my concern is we're starting to see it in big cities like Georgia, which means prices

• 2:05:23Tom Ellsworth?

  are going to, of the underlying assets are going to start coming down. Which is not a bad thing because they're incredibly inflated over 2019 to 2021.

• 2:05:35Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, the K-shaped economy is real. I think that the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. And the fundamental issue is that most people don't know what the hell they're doing with money. I think there's a major problem that in Congress, we have people that have never run a business, that have never been leaders, that have never understood finance, running our economy. And these morons in Congress with their all-time low approval ratings are now sitting on, what, $37 trillion in debt? I look at this US debt clock and I go, "How did we get to this point?" And there's enough blame to go around for Republicans and Democrats. So, from a macro perspective, we are the brokest, richest country in the world, and it's disgusting.

• 2:06:16Adam Sosnick?

  But if you, kind of like, zoom in on the microeconomy, on the household economy, the average household in America has about $100,000 in debt, $7,000 in credit card, consumer loans, car loans, credit card loans. People don't know what they're doing with their money, and I wish they did. I wish they taught it better in school. But as we know, when they print Money Pat, where does it flow? To the top. So, the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer, and the wealth gap is bigger than ever. So, what can you do? You control the controllable, and you save that money. What can you do with your own household income? You can't solve the debt crisis, you can't solve the $37 trillion that America owes, but you can control what you do if you buy a house.

• 2:07:01Adam Sosnick?

  You should understand that, don't buy more than you can afford. Understand that if you're getting a car, don't buy more car than you can afford. And just understand that your own personal economy and your own personal finances is the most important thing you can focus on.

• 2:07:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I agree, but at the same time, listen. Here's one thing, if you're buying long-term, good luck predicting what's gonna happen to the market. If you're in the long-term game, I've seen more people get their asses handed to them because they try to time the market. They try to time when to buy Bitcoin, they try to time when to buy a house, they try to time when to get into the stock market, they try to time... Everything is about, "Let me find a way to time it." If experts who've been doing this for 40 years don't know how to time, you're not gonna know how to time. If you're a long-term investor, you know, and you have the reasons on what you want to do, I'm optimistic. But for some of the people that want to time it, he can sit on the sidelines. And the next thing you know, Trump can come out and announce something and real estate value goes up

• 2:07:58Patrick Bet-David?

  and economy goes up. Now, people are saying, "Why did you recommend me to wait?" I'm not telling you to wait or not to wait. I'm just telling you, long-term thinking is the solution. Let me get to a story here with Shia LaBeouf. You guys saw, we saw Shia LaBeouf, and I know this is a little culture, but I want to go to it. One of my favorite actors of all time is Shia LaBeouf. I stopped watching Transformers once he was no longer in it. He does a great job, but he was interviewed by the Channel 5 guy, what's his name, Rob? Andrew Callahan. Andrew Callahan, who does a, who does a very good job getting reports and interviews. Here, is, is this the one where he's talking about he's afraid of people? Yes. So this is the reason behind his arrest, guys? Just brace for impact, because he's very raw here. Go ahead, Rob.

• 2:08:39Speaker 25

  But I'll be honest with you, big gay people are scary to me. Didn't see that one coming. When I'm like standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me touching my leg, I get scared. I'm sorry. If that's homophobic, then I, then I'm that. Yeah. Does that happen a lot? No, it just happened one time. Recently? Well, that's why I'm, got arrested. Okay. Yeah. So you were sort of being groped and surrounded? I'm not going to say that, because my lawyer said, "Oh, dude." It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. We can back up. No, I, I, I am wrong for touching anyone ever. And that's the end of my statement on this whole shit.

• 2:09:24Speaker 25

  Sounds good. Cool.

• 2:09:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Cool. Vinny?

• 2:09:28Speaker 02

  Well, I mean, listen.

• 2:09:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you seen the rest of the clip?

• 2:09:31Speaker 02

  I saw the, yeah.

• 2:09:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Some of the stuff he says.

• 2:09:33Speaker 02

  Is wild.

• 2:09:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's wild.

• 2:09:34Speaker 02

  Is wild. But, you know, again, this is his, his point. His lawyer said, "Don't say anything." We have to kind of take his word for it. But he also opened up about a very dark period about his life. He admitted that he struggled with suicidal thoughts. He said he had a gun in his mouth at one point, and that the reason he didn't pull the trigger, according to him, was the love for his mother, which you guys all. I can understand that. I've never been there, but I can only imagine. Can you play that clip, Rob? Is this it? No, this, this one, Pat, is, and mind you, his mother's Jewish. His father, I believe, was Catholic. So if your mother's Jewish, you're Jewish. He's a Catholic. And what he said about Jesus, he asked him. I send you the clip, Rob. He asked him, Pat, he goes, what would you do if you stood in front of Jesus?

• 2:10:19Speaker 02

  What would you say? Here's what he had to say. And this is what he would say about, uh, if he saw Jesus Christ, what he would do.

• 2:10:27Speaker 25

  What would you say to Jesus if you could meet him? I wouldn't say shit.

• 2:10:33Speaker 25

  Really? Nah. Bro, I'd kiss him.

• 2:10:40Speaker 25

  I'd kiss him. I'd kiss, I'd kiss his feet. I wouldn't say nothing.

  Chill out with these questions, Andrew. My bad. Didn't know it was gonna make you emotional. I'm a real Catholic, bro, a real one. I just thought you had thought about it. I'm a real one, bro. I wanna believe in something. Well, hey, bro, you gotta hit your head into the wall hard enough where you just go, "Fuck it."

• 2:13:08Speaker 25

  It's the only way, dog.

• 2:13:10Speaker 02

  That's how you find God?

• 2:13:11Speaker 25

  Yup, for me.

• 2:13:12Speaker 02

  For the hard-headed ones?

• 2:13:14Speaker 25

  Yeah, you gotta go hard. What do you think was the real-life equivalent of you smashing your head on a wall? I put a gun in my mouth. I was ready to kill myself, blow my brains off.

• 2:13:21Speaker 02

  You can stop it, Rob. Rob, you can stop it. Guys, it's clear, if you see the whole interview, it's clear he's going through something heavy. I've heard a lot of stuff from his mouth, that what he's gone through, his family and everything like that, the level of pain, there's no words. Like, he's struggling, and I just hope he finds peace, Pat, and healing, because I thought, when I saw him on Jon Bernthal's podcast, I was like, "Okay." I believe he had a child? Did he have a kid, Pat? And the girl left them, and somebody's suing him and all that stuff? I feel, as a Christian, I feel what he is going through. Like, it's obviously something dark. He's been there, and I mean, I don't think drinking by yourself in the streets of Mardi Gare at that level of celebrity is something.

• 2:14:02Speaker 02

  He did say something also, Pat, that he hates somebody, Rob, that, what is this?

• 2:14:07Speaker 25

  Yeah, Mike Piazza. Pull up that one, Rob.

• 2:14:09Patrick Bet-David?

  I saw Mike Piazza the other day.

• 2:14:11Speaker 02

  Oh, by the way. Oh, you saw him? Did he sign anything?

• 2:14:14Adam Sosnick?

  I saw him in South Beach.

• 2:14:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, you watch it, Tyronn Shai LaBeouf and Tyronn Shai LaBeouf and Mike Piazza.

• 2:14:17Adam Sosnick?

  Guys.

• 2:14:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Is this it?

• 2:14:18Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:14:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead, watch this, Adam.

• 2:14:21Speaker 25

  Your pitcher's like a fucking, like I'm a golden retriever or a governor or something like that because I like what it does for people's lives. Remember trying to get Mike Piazza's autograph, motherfucker? You know what I mean? For my whole life, Mike Piazza. Were you waiting outside the fence? Every day, this guy, bro. And so, yeah, we used to go to these Dodger games, Big Brother's program, used to get these tickets out, you'd go fuck a Dodger game. Me and all of them dudes would be sitting in the parking lot. Brent Butler always signed, Hadeo Nomo always signed, Mike Piazza. Just a cold heart. Mike Piazza, you're a bitch, bro.

• 2:14:52Adam Sosnick?

  Wow.

• 2:14:58Adam Sosnick?

  Well, let's come to this.

• 2:14:59Speaker 02

  Oh, my God. He goes, how many times? Ninety times, he goes, you're gonna give me one autograph?

• 2:15:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you imagine Mike Piazza sends him right now, I think, and he returns it?

• 2:15:09Speaker 02

  When's the last time you even heard Mike Piazza's name?

• 2:15:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, no, we talk because we debate catchers of all great catch, great hitting catchers of all time. I just thought was a good hitter, but how do you?

• 2:15:17Speaker 02

  The greatest hitting.

• 2:15:18Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you process it, Adam, for yourself with Shai LaBeouf?

• 2:15:20Adam Sosnick?

  So, I know how much you enjoy this guy, and you know, the first time we learned about Shia, for me, I think it was during Transformers, but there's a story here. This guy, I think, has been famous since he's 14, 15 years old. Be careful when you want fame too soon. Because how many people in Hollywood have we seen get fame before they were mature? Justin Bieber, we see what's going on with that guy these days. You know, the song that you play where he's sitting in front of the mirror, talking about, what's the song that he sings?

• 2:15:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Lonely.

• 2:15:49Adam Sosnick?

  Lonely, exactly, it's so crazy. Lindsay Lohan.

• 2:15:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Very different, but yeah, it's a song.

• 2:15:53Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, exactly, my singing isn't what it used to be. Lindsay Lohan, the Corey Haymes of the world, the Drew Barrymars of the world. You know, they all deal with trauma, drugs, alcohol, depression, all these things. Because why? They wanted to be famous. One thing I've learned is I don't want to be famous, I want to deliver value, I want to have influence, I want people to have respect. But I don't care about being liked, I don't care about being famous. A lot of these young people, especially people on the internet these days, you know, streaming every single day, doing things for clicks and attention. There's a very. Very ugly side to all this, and I just respect Shia LaBeouf for keeping it real. You know, they say where keeping it real goes wrong. Uh, he's had some major issues in his life, in and out of jail, I think, in and out of rehab.

• 2:16:38Adam Sosnick?

  Uh, it looks like he's finding God, looks like he's, has, he's a father now, and I, I respect that. But, uh, there's probably not a realer guy who wears his heart on his sleeve more than Shia LaBeouf. I know you think he's a great actor, I, I, I think he's a-

• 2:16:50Patrick Bet-David?

  I think he's going through it.

• 2:16:51Adam Sosnick?

  A good dude, he's definitely going through it.

• 2:16:52Patrick Bet-David?

  He talked about his father as well, Vinny, in the interview.

• 2:16:55Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:16:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, I don't know if you caught that part about his father. Can you, can you find that clip, Rob, about his father?

• 2:17:00Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, it's, it's a messed up, and I, and like you said, talent, artistic from, you know-

• 2:17:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:17:05Adam Sosnick?

  And Fury in all the movies, but there's something clearly going off, and I just pray that he gets, you know, he, he needs help. He's been in AA, he said all these people's phone numbers in his phone, John AA, Mike AA, this AA, it's all AA. AA Ron. P P D, can I ask you?

• 2:17:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:17:20Adam Sosnick?

  This is the unthink time you've mentioned Shia LaBeouf.

• 2:17:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 2:17:24Adam Sosnick?

  You don't, you don't have a lot of love for Hollywood or Hollywood actors.

• 2:17:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:17:28Adam Sosnick?

  Why do you feel so strongly for Shia LaBeouf?

• 2:17:31Patrick Bet-David?

  I lost a friend like Shia LaBeouf. I lost a friend like Shia LaBeouf, we should never lost him. And he had issues, he had issues with his family, he had issues with a lot of things that he was going through as a kid. And, uh, probably one of my favorite guys to hang out with.

• 2:17:47Adam Sosnick?

  Really?

• 2:17:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Hands down, one of my favorite guys to hang out with, I, I love him and miss him till today. Uh, Armin Arakelyan, and, and they had a lot of similar mannerisms that he would go through. He had a hard time giving up a few things that he was, uh, he was on, and, you know, alcohol, and, and a few other things that he was dealing with, but, uh, they, they, they give me similar vibes, and Armin was not like a famous person, it was just a very famous person in my life, because I loved him. But you see, you see the pain young men, young boys go through.

• 2:18:17Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:18:18Patrick Bet-David?

  And that shapes how they become grown men, and, and, uh, part of it is somebody could have gone a hold of him to give him better direction, but honestly, eighty percent of it, when you become an adult, is on you. You gotta make the decision to make better choices, and it's not an easy thing to do, you gotta change your environment, you gotta, you know, he knows it, the way he's speaking, you know what I love about the way he's speaking?

• 2:18:39Adam Sosnick?

  What's that?

• 2:18:41Patrick Bet-David?

  He's speaking in a way that you can't give him advice. You, you know what I mean when I'm saying you can't give him advice, like, he's speaking like, no, but man, like- He's conflicted because he knows what he needs to do, but he's not doing it.

• 2:18:58Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:18:59Patrick Bet-David?

  He's heard the best advice from the most celebrated doctors, famous. Anybody with, anybody that's known for being the right person to give him advice. Hollywood actors, celebrities, directors, business people. Who does he not have access to? Pastors, everybody. And he knows at the end of the day. Nobody can save you except his faith. And you. There's a part of it that you gotta make the choices. You know. A man named Greg back in the days would always say pray like it's up to God, but. You know, work like it's up to you. You know, you can say change like it's up to you. You know, make decisions like it's up to you.

• 2:19:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Some people pray too much and rely just on a miracle to happen. But a part of it is you, Rob. Are you able to find that clip or is it still streaming and it's not gonna show it up?

• 2:19:50Speaker 14

  I found the part where he talks about his father going to AA. I don't know if that's the part you were looking for.

• 2:19:54Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it's another one, but it's okay. I just think it was a very good, is this the one where he and his dad are going to AA together?

• 2:20:00Speaker 14

  He talks about his, yeah, growing up in AA with his dad.

• 2:20:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, let me see this clip. Go for it.

• 2:20:04Speaker 25

  My dad grew up in the room. I learned how to smoke cigarettes in AA rooms. My dad was in AA when I was, before I ever got on. My dad was a junkie my whole life, so then. And God bless him, the fool ain't no more. For real. He's clean, I'm not. G shit, bro. G shit. Go ahead, dad. What do you think has been like behind your decision to get sober every now and again? Usually I've been forced to get sober by the court system usually, and then. Women get scared. You know, so then you gotta stay sober for the girl. So you feel like most of your decision to like lay off the drinks was external factors? Yeah, the business, the job, holding on to the career, holding on to the girl, holding on to the family.

• 2:20:41Patrick Bet-David?

  He can pause it, but again, to me. I know I grew up with. With guys like him, you know, but he wasn't, you know, those guys that have become famous. The movie with his dad. Honey Boy, we've talked about this many times. It's on Amazon. If you've never seen, if you subscribe to Amazon. It kinda tells you the upbringing of how we grew up. And then later on he said, no, it's not true. Yes, it is true. I've heard so many things about the different stories, but I just like him a lot as a character.

• 2:21:09Adam Sosnick?

  I'll just say one thing, you know, I've never seen a Shia LaBeouf movie. I saw little pieces of Transformer. I've never seen one movie, not one.

• 2:21:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch Fury.

• 2:21:17Adam Sosnick?

  And all, but I've watched hours of him doing podcasts.

• 2:21:22Adam Sosnick?

  The thing with Callahan now, what's the one with Jon Bernthal?

• 2:21:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 2:21:27Adam Sosnick?

  You can't help but want to root for this guy. You can't help but realize that Hollywood has chewed him up and spit him out. And you said the, you said the correct thing. This is on him. He's probably dealt with all the advisors, all the

• 2:21:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Nothing.

• 2:21:40Adam Sosnick?

  All the people, but at the end of the day, this is on him.

• 2:21:43Patrick Bet-David?

  No, nothing.

• 2:21:43Adam Sosnick?

  Why he seems so conflicted.

• 2:21:44Patrick Bet-David?

  No, you can't, listen, get into a better environment, get into a better environment. Environment helps a lot. But then at the end of the day, when you're by yourself. I was interviewing Terrence Howard the other day. And let me tell you, I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. This was a very different kind of an interview. We didn't talk anything about math and stuff like that. But he said, you know, uh, funny, I don't even know how to say this.

• 2:22:06Adam Sosnick?

  You might not even be able to.

• 2:22:07Patrick Bet-David?

  I may not even be able to say it.

• 2:22:08Adam Sosnick?

  So when you said I fell on the floor. When's the interview coming out?

• 2:22:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know when the interview's coming out.

• 2:22:12Adam Sosnick?

  Thursday. Thursday.

• 2:22:13Patrick Bet-David?

  He talked about how he struggles with porn till today. And the things we were talking about, we talked, so, so even today, he is, he said he's 56, 57 years old. Even today, he knows what it is. And it's like, listen, he was in Czechoslovakia 25 years. So he begged the hotel to get rid of the TV. He said, if you keep this TV, I'm gonna have to watch all the porn he got. And by the way, when you watch, you're gonna laugh so hard of the stuff he talked about. It was, it was, it's real. So you have to know, these, these are, everybody knows who these guys are. And when they give you that kind of fame at a young age, you know, try managing that at a young age. But anyways, let's get to the next story.

• 2:22:56Adam Sosnick?

  He's 56. Looks great, man.

• 2:22:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Looks like he's 38, by the way. Okay. Uh, Bill Clinton, okay, he was deposed. And while he was being deposed, Trump says he doesn't like seeing Bill Clinton deposed by Congress. This is Trump. And then Bill turns around and says something about, uh, uh, Trump. Go ahead, Rob.

• 2:23:17Speaker 04

  I don't like seeing him depose, but, you know, they certainly went after me a lot more than that. I don't like, I don't like seeing him. Look, I like, I like him, and I don't like seeing him depose.

• 2:23:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so that's that. Now, watch page 12, what Bill Clinton had to say about him. Rob, this is James Comer repeating what Bill Clinton said in court. Go ahead, Rob.

• 2:23:41Speaker 26

  President Clinton said, "That's for you to decide." And the president went on to say that the president, Trump, has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved, and he meant with Epstein. So, just, I know there's a lot of curiosity about President Trump. I thought that was an interesting thing that President Clinton said. So, I'll let the Democrats have the podium, and they can answer your questions, but we'll come.

• 2:24:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so what do you think about that, Vinny? Two presidents defending each other, how do you process that?

• 2:24:14Speaker 02

  I don't know. I think it's, I think there's a leverage thing at play. By the way, shout out to him, because Adam, you love doing shout outs. Look at how good he looks, dealing with Hillary. I can only imagine.

• 2:24:24Patrick Bet-David?

  What does he say here?

• 2:24:25Speaker 02

  Sucks the life out of you. Play this one.

• 2:24:27Speaker 14

  This is his statement after the deposition.

• 2:24:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead.

• 2:24:30Speaker 02

  He looks great.

• 2:24:31Speaker 27

  I just finished testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee. I did it for two reasons. First, I love my country, including our Constitution. And America was built on the idea that no person is above the law, even presidents, especially presidents, and that we should all live under the same set of rules. This kind of democracy requires every person to play their part, and I hope that by being there today, we can bring ourselves just a little further away from the brink, and back to being a country where we can disagree civilly, and we can search for truth and justice,

• 2:25:15Speaker 27

  and that it outweighs the partisan urge to score points and create spectacle.

• 2:25:21Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause it right there. And by the way, some people are saying... That a little bit of a, you know, strategy here, they did this because what's gonna come around is they're gonna be asking Melania and Trump to be deposed because if two previous presidents were deposed, why not Melania and Trump? Because there's pictures of them with Epstein as well. So here, I believe he's a Democratic congressman, Rob, if I'm not mistaken, and he said, "We asked the President Clinton to be deposed," and now, go ahead, Rob.

• 2:25:53Speaker 28

  Said from day one, that we want to talk to former President Bill Clinton, and the other person we want to talk to is current President Donald Trump. And so we should be very clear, that now that we're gonna hear from former President Clinton, I hope that Chairman Comer and the Republicans will join us in demanding that the person who actually appears more times in the files than the former president, who we want to speak with, is President Donald Trump.

• 2:26:19Speaker 29

  There is no indication, zero, zip, zilch, nada, that Secretary Clinton had any knowledge of Epstein's crimes. She submitted a sworn statement that she never met Jeffrey Epstein, and my fear-

• 2:26:34Speaker 02

  I believe her.

• 2:26:35Patrick Bet-David?

  You believe it, right?

• 2:26:36Speaker 02

  Does everybody, does everybody at home, wherever you are, do you, absolutely zero zilch? And again, Pat, we talked about this last week, I could never be the president because of the leverage and stuff that has to do with any of this nonsense. Do I think Bill Clinton was with eight-year-olds? No, no. Do I think he was with, under, my opinion, with some underage girls that were doing so? That's my opinion. Why would Epstein come to the White House 17 times? What, what, what are you doing hanging out with that guy? And I don't know how many times, they, everything, that's all the Democrats want to do is keep going to Trump, keep going to Trump. He's the one that called the FBI on Epstein, okay? Bill Clinton himself is telling you, I didn't, he's not involved, he's not involved. Do

• 2:27:19Speaker 02

  I believe that they're kind of, you know, looking out for each other because of the whole presidential status? Listen, you know where I stand. If you did anything, and there's proof, which I do believe, that the files show proof, especially with the victims, and God willing, that they're alive, they're not- Needs to be arrest. There needs to be an arrest made. I don't care if he's the president. I don't care if he's the pope. I don't care. I want somebody to be arrested. I want somebody to be put in jail. Just like they're doing in the UK. You mean to tell me an ex-prince, he lost his title? He's not the prince. He's not the duke. He's just in the back of a car scared out of his mind and they put his ass in jail and now he has a record. I want that, Pat. So none, all this, no, I can't believe they're doing this to Bill Clinton. I'm not a fan of it at all. But again, I'm not the president. I'm a Christian. I can't make those decisions.

• 2:28:03Speaker 02

  And use leverage for people that did crimes because I want to use them for other things. I'm not a fan of it, Tom. I'm sorry.

• 2:28:09Tom Ellsworth?

  I'll tell you, listening to Hillary testify, I was kind of listening to the CIA testify. Uh, we have not overthrown any countries of which we are aware. You know, you listen to

• 2:28:17Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 2:28:18Tom Ellsworth?

  People say, and she's like, I do not recall the picture, I don't recall meeting the man that I'm in the picture, in the picture they're meeting. Wait, what? You do not recall meeting the man and you've never met the man that you're in the picture they're meeting? Yes. So I, I put all that aside. I hate the fact that we have former presidents that are being called in like this. I do not back off from what you're saying that I feel that the Clintons are dirty. I do not back off from that at all. But you know what? If this is the way it's going to be played, so every time we elect a president now, the other president comes into court, goes back and forth. Ask Brazil how this works.

• 2:28:57Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:28:57Tom Ellsworth?

  It's terrible. It's disruptive. It doesn't bring a country together. But if that's the new reality of what we're living in, you know, okay. And by the way, if you listen carefully to that Democrat, I think there were Democrats that wanted to put Clinton in there. Not push him terribly hard, but get him in there so they could get President Trump in there as a sitting president. Because they want to impeach him and they can't wait for the midterms to see if they have the votes to impeach him. I think this is 3D chess. I think that's what's going on.

• 2:29:26Speaker 02

  But Tom, when it comes to, when it comes to Bill Clinton though, you have to look at the history of like Juanita Broderick coming forward and saying what he did to her. The multiple sexual assault allegations and then you have Hillary Clinton going after the women and bashing them.

• 2:29:39Tom Ellsworth?

  Comment I just made?

• 2:29:40Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:29:40Tom Ellsworth?

  The entire basket is represented there. I am with you.

• 2:29:43Speaker 02

  Oh, no, I, I. And I agree 100%, but when you say, you know, and because they're gonna keep willing the presidents, if you are guilty of a crime, I don't care. You have to get face justice, because if that's the case, Tom, then the president could do whatever they want.

• 2:29:56Tom Ellsworth?

  There's hearings on Obama for Russia and for the things that he personally had knowledge of.

• 2:30:01Speaker 02

  They all get presidential immunity. That's the one problem that I have when it comes to this government nonsense is that he sits there with that smug face.

• 2:30:09Tom Ellsworth?

  Unless your name is Trump, then you get indicted.

• 2:30:10Speaker 02

  No, of course, they try to destroy you and they shoot you in your head.

• 2:30:12Patrick Bet-David?

  I asked this, Tom, you wanted to talk about this elite doctor served Jeffrey Epstein while treating his girls. New York Times story that just came out. A plastic surgeon from Mount Sinai closed a young woman's head wound with 35 stitches on Epstein dining room table. An internist in West Palm Beach ordered a blood test for another woman, then reported the abnormal results back to Epstein. A dentist at Columbia University asked Epstein how much work he wanted done on a girl with severe tooth decay. What is this reporting here, Tom?

• 2:30:42Tom Ellsworth?

  What he's pointing out is that Elvis had Dr. Nick. Michael Jackson had a doctor. Epstein had doctors too. So when we start unpacking this, what you're gonna find is you got doctors in there that can be testifying. Why aren't these doctors being called to hearings and asked, who did you operate on? Were you in a surgical, were you in a sterile surgical environment? What were you doing here? What did you do? Did that, did that, so if a paramedic, Pat, in this country, let's say a paramedic is called to a home and there's a child that has suffered, you know, a trauma. The paramedics are obligated to tell the hospital, says, hey, man, let's get care for this kid, but I think there was something going on at that house. We gotta see if something happened at that house.

• 2:31:27Tom Ellsworth?

  And the paramedics will report to authorities if they believe there was an abuse or there was like a parent inflicted injury on that child. And so now, if you've got doctors making house calls, I want to know where these doctors are and I want to know why they're not in front of a hearing with a hand up to answer questions about. You're, you're, wait, wait, you got called? You're putting stitches in somebody's head? On the dining room table? Of a, of a home? Whoa!

• 2:31:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, let me, let me read this to you, it's disturbing. So Epstein used some doctors to manipulate young women from overseas who were having sex with him. He, this is again, New York Times. He was, he directed women to get pelvic exams, liposuction, and mole removals, and paid for a range of specialty treatments from $800 an hour psychiatric therapy to root canal. He also abruptly cut off women's care at times and assistant once forwarded him a plea from a woman asking for $600 to refill her acne prescription. Ignore Epstein replied. Some doctors sent Epstein's sexual partners elsewhere for gonorrhea treatments so that when their case was reported to public health authorities, they wouldn't be tied to Epstein. Some doctors also shared patients' private health information within. One woman wrote to Epstein

• 2:32:39Patrick Bet-David?

  that all the doctors you pay directly keep you well informed about my treatments. Epstein dismissed her concerns, saying the doctors take the time to make sure I'm happy. Epstein rewarded preferred doctors with hefty payments, Apple Watches, celebrity introductions, and vacations on private islands and New Mexico ranch. One cash-strapped dermatologist asked Epstein to cosign his car lease. Epstein also wrote large checks for some doctor's research and charity work and donated more than $375,000 to Mount Sinai, much of it to breast cancer center by Dr. Ava Dubin, who dated him in 1980s. Dr. Dubin became Epstein's conduit to Mount Sinai, connecting him and women in his orbit with doctors there and arranged positions at hospitals for at least two young women at Epstein's request.

• 2:33:22Tom Ellsworth?

  So where's the hearing? It sounds like we could have a large parade of doctors asking them specifically about victims and about services. This, this, by the way, you know what this would be similar to, Pat? When the FBI got Capone's accountant.

• 2:33:40Tom Ellsworth?

  A key, a key to everybody else.

• 2:33:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Got it. Adam.

• 2:33:46Adam Sosnick?

  Well, obviously, whatever happened with Epstein, we're gonna figure out what happened there. But I, can I go back to the Bill Clinton thing? Uh, I don't know what's gonna happen with Bill Clinton, but-

• 2:33:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Comment on this and go to Bill Clinton. Comment here, then go back to Clinton.

• 2:33:58Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, so, as far as the, this was the dentist?

• 2:34:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 2:34:02Adam Sosnick?

  So, I mean, uh, when someone dies-

• 2:34:04Patrick Bet-David?

  If those doctors are around, if you get to those doctors, what can you learn from what those doctors did for Epstein?

• 2:34:11Adam Sosnick?

  Let's subpoena them and let's have them talk. I mean, you can learn a lot from these people.

• 2:34:14Speaker 02

  Like, that's a great angle.

• 2:34:15Adam Sosnick?

  At the same time, you know, if they did nothing wrong and he was just, you know, but, by the way, okay, so either this doctor is guilty of being, uh, complicit in-

• 2:34:26Speaker 02

  Well, that's malpractice. You can't be, you can't be practicing dentistry on, look at, he's laying on a freaking bed in like a massage room.

• 2:34:32Adam Sosnick?

  We can see his face.

• 2:34:33Speaker 02

  With Vaseline on the, on the freaking bed, if that's an Vaseline.

• 2:34:35Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know if there's anything illegal about operating, uh, doing dentistry in a, on an island. I don't know.

• 2:34:42Speaker 02

  I think it is.

• 2:34:43Adam Sosnick?

  But we see his face, let's subpoena the guy. So, but, to me, he's a, a small piece of the puzzle. Uh, the Bill Clinton thing is, is kinda what I wanted to address. It seems to me that Trump is kinda like defending Bill Clinton, or Bill Clinton is almost like not throwing Trump under the bus. Why is that? Because there seems to be a brotherhood of the presidency. Do you know how many people are alive today that, that, that shared the presidency? Five.

• 2:35:11Adam Sosnick?

  Trump, Biden, Obama, Bush-

• 2:35:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Biden's alive?

• 2:35:16Adam Sosnick?

  Biden's mostly alive. That's, that's true. But there is a brotherhood and, and to me-

• 2:35:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Mostly alive.

• 2:35:22Adam Sosnick?

  You know, the words, the rhetoric that they say, you know, Trump is, uh, Trump's a fascist, okay. Uh, Joe Biden is the worst president ever, Barack Hussein Obama, but what happens when they're in the, in the same room together? Were they at Jimmy Carter's funeral about a year ago? Were they all not sitting together, shaking hands?

• 2:35:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Not Michelle.

• 2:35:39Adam Sosnick?

  Playing nice?

• 2:35:40Speaker 02

  Not Michelle.

• 2:35:40Adam Sosnick?

  Not Michelle. She's not a president, and she is a woman, apparently. Well, when the presidents are in the same room together, they at least respect each other. Because let's respect the office of the presidency. Regardless of what you think about the Democrats or the Republicans. There's five presidents alive who know what it's like to be in the Oval Office.

• 2:35:58Speaker 02

  But can I-

• 2:35:58Adam Sosnick?

  Two of the greatest presidents that we've had in our lifetime are still alive. That's Trump and Clinton. Say what you want about Clinton's decisions. He was a great president and the third president on that list, to me, is Reagan. So, uh, they were both impeached. I think they're both ladies men. I think that there's Bill Clinton looking at Trump being like, "You, son of a gun." Vinnie. "You have the life that I want." But, uh, I think they're gonna stick up for each other and that's... Because if one goes down, they all go down.

• 2:36:26Speaker 02

  But Adam, to hell with the office of the presidency if that includes somebody that is on camera, video, sitting in hot tubs with all these women during, like, and after your presidency and flying on-

• 2:36:39Adam Sosnick?

  What did he do that was illegal?

• 2:36:41Speaker 02

  What, Adam, he's a married, first of all-

• 2:36:43Adam Sosnick?

  What did he do? So he cheated, that's illegal?

• 2:36:45Speaker 02

  Wait, hold on, hold on one second, Adam.

• 2:36:46Adam Sosnick?

  So he cheated on his wife? So that means Donald Trump's gonna be in trouble.

• 2:36:48Speaker 02

  I've never asked you a question-

• 2:36:49Adam Sosnick?

  That means Reagan's gonna be in trouble.

• 2:36:51Speaker 02

  You ask a question-

• 2:36:52Adam Sosnick?

  What did he do that was illegal?

• 2:36:53Speaker 02

  Adam, there's over a million-

• 2:36:55Adam Sosnick?

  Guys, guys, guys.

• 2:36:57Speaker 02

  What did he do that was illegal? No, Tom, Adam, go ahead and finish what you're gonna say.

• 2:37:00Adam Sosnick?

  I've asked you the question-

• 2:37:01Speaker 02

  I'll let you finish. Adam, they've redacted everything. We don't know who's, we don't know who's in the emails, we don't know what they've done. We can't see the 10,000 hours of child porn that she was talking about. So how are we ever gonna get to the bottom of it? We can't see anything.

• 2:37:14Adam Sosnick?

  Stay focused on Bill Clinton.

• 2:37:15Speaker 02

  Hold on, wherever his name is, Adam, wherever his name is, in emails and stuff like that, it's all gone. Ready for this? Release the other 3 million so I can see if he's in there. Because Adam-

• 2:37:25Adam Sosnick?

  You gonna read it?

• 2:37:25Speaker 02

  Adam, because, let me ask you a question, Adam. Why was Epstein going to the White House 17 times? To talk about what? I'm just curious. Hold on, it's not illegal, why is he there? What is he doing there?

• 2:37:37Adam Sosnick?

  Bill Clinton was deposed, let him answer that.

• 2:37:39Speaker 02

  No, no, okay, hold on. And then why is it that the guy that signed him on was mysteriously hanging from a tree with a shotgun shot chest, a hole in his chest, and the gun was never found? And they ruled it a suicide? Why would Juanita Broderick lie about him-

• 2:37:52Adam Sosnick?

  These are great stories to ask. These are great questions to ask.

• 2:37:55Speaker 02

  But we're not gonna see-

• 2:37:56Adam Sosnick?

  What has he been found guilty of?

• 2:37:57Speaker 02

  Adam, because of the brotherhood that you're talking about, none of them getting trouble. And that's why it's frustrating.

• 2:38:02Adam Sosnick?

  It's interesting that we will defend Trump- All these allegations, but he wasn't found guilty of anything. But yet, we're gonna try to double down on allegations about Clinton.

• 2:38:12Speaker 02

  Wait, wait, wait, wait, you cannot compare, you cannot compare the DOJ and them coming up with trumping up charges about how much his house was and the fake impeachment phone calls. You can't do, Bill Clinton went there. Bill Clinton was on the island. Bill Clinton hung out with him. Bill Clinton's in the hot tub. Bill Clinton is on, on record with Juanita Brodeur saying that he basically tried to rape her. So, I almost bit her lip off.

• 2:38:34Adam Sosnick?

  So, you ready?

• 2:38:34Speaker 02

  He's up, that's what people would call him, what?

• 2:38:37Adam Sosnick?

  Was he found guilty of?

• 2:38:37Speaker 02

  Adam, guess what? There's murderers walking around right now that were never found guilty. Because guess what? They're good at what they do. He's the president. He knows he's untouchable. He knows he's untouchable. Obama's untouchable.

• 2:38:47Adam Sosnick?

  We have a rule of law in this country, unless you're found guilty of something, people can do hot air all they want.

• 2:38:52Speaker 02

  Do you think Bill Clinton did anything?

• 2:38:53Adam Sosnick?

  Works the same thing for Trump and Clinton.

• 2:38:55Speaker 02

  Okay, what do you mean? It's not, it's not the same thing, Adam. Bill, Adam, Trump is in the files. Adam, because the justice system is protecting him. The Department of Justice is protecting him. Period. And I'm not a fan of it. I'm not a fan of it. Do you trust Bill Clinton? You don't think Bill Clinton?

• 2:39:10Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, just so you know, just so you know, when, to me, when this Iran thing is over with, this is not going away.

• 2:39:19Speaker 02

  Absolutely not.

• 2:39:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Just so you know that.

• 2:39:20Speaker 02

  Absolutely not.

• 2:39:21Patrick Bet-David?

  If this lasts 30 days, two months, three months, this is still gonna be there when they come back.

• 2:39:26Adam Sosnick?

  I don't disagree.

• 2:39:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I'm just telling you. So, they still, you know, have to find a way to address this as well because...

• 2:39:32Adam Sosnick?

  Why is Trump defending Clinton?

• 2:39:34Patrick Bet-David?

  You, you can go three different reasons why he's defending Clinton. One, they're both womanizers. Two, they both partied with women.

• 2:39:44Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 2:39:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Three, they're both presidents.

• 2:39:46Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 2:39:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Four, you don't wanna see a president being held up because it's gonna come back to you as well.

• 2:39:51Adam Sosnick?

  I agree.

• 2:39:51Patrick Bet-David?

  There's, there's many things you can look at. But it's not just the brotherhood as well, okay? Trump is a brilliant, brilliant guy who understands what to do to minimize the noise. And he wanted Bill to say, "I've never seen Trump do anything out there with women." And he wanted that to come out, and it came out. So, who knows? Who knows what's gonna happen with these guys? But, gang, one thing that is coming out is... Conversation for some of you guys that like Palantir, invested in it, made a lot of money, and those that don't trust it. One of the co-founders was here, multi-billionaire guy. We had a conversation about a lot of things. Here's the intro, Rob. That goes out, when is it? Tomorrow?

• 2:40:31Speaker 30

  Yes, sir.

• 2:40:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Tomorrow night, AM. Go ahead, Rob. When you say Palantir to the average person, some is good, some is bad, some is neutral, some are scared.

• 2:40:38Speaker 30

  Nobody is angry at you. You might not be doing much.

• 2:40:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Why do so many people not trust you? Why do so many people not trust Palantir?

• 2:40:45Speaker 30

  We have to eliminate probably about to 10,000 terrorists.

• 2:40:48Patrick Bet-David?

  The fear becomes, what if somebody evil runs it after Alex? Then what? What if somebody evil gets a hold of what you guys are building? Then what?

• 2:40:55Speaker 30

  What's scary to me is if Safari Republic elects a really, really bad person.

• 2:41:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Who today is your biggest enemy?

• 2:41:03Speaker 30

  Are like the extreme populists on both political sides.

• 2:41:06Patrick Bet-David?

  So in a situation with Maduro or El Mencho, is there a possibility that Palantir was involved?

• 2:41:12Speaker 30

  If these guys were trying to kill Trump, it means if they're still around after Trump's president, they're probably trying to get him and his kids again.

• 2:41:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Why was Palantir started?

• 2:41:20Speaker 30

  Protect the West against Islamist terrorists.

• 2:41:23Patrick Bet-David?

  That's truly the mission.

• 2:41:24Speaker 30

  That was truly the mission. But is Iraq really Iraq?

• 2:41:26Patrick Bet-David?

  A lot of people think it could turn into something. Why Palantir started?

• 2:41:29Speaker 30

  This is inappropriate, but I'd be very Roman. So the Romans would do, you'd go and you wipe out the leadership class. You're all dead. And you say, okay, you guys are now in charge. We're gonna make a deal, or we're gonna kill all of you too.

• 2:41:41Patrick Bet-David?
