• 0:55Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, so look, it's Thanksgiving today. Let me start off with some disturbing news before you start your evening. Did you know one in four people still carry weight from holiday last year? Did you know this is the busiest Thanksgiving ever for travel? With more than 18 million Americans taking to the skies? And if you were at the airport yesterday, let us know how ugly airports were and travel was. And did you know Americans will throw out 316 million pounds of food on Thanksgiving? And here's how it feels. Ready for this? Climate change, folks. You throwing food away? You messing with the climate. It's telling you the people in Antarctica are not happy with you in Alaska. You better watch out.

• 1:38Patrick Bet-David?

  And they also say statistics that giving thanks can make you happier and healthier. And we want to give you a thank you for being with us on Thanksgiving morning. Woke up this morning going for the walk and I see Dylan in the back practicing. I come in, drive up to the office, doing a bunch of my next this morning, having conversations. And then I come in thinking we have maybe a handful of stories to cover. And then Rob drops 50 stories on me here right now that we've been preparing. Let me go through some of these stories, which are kind of fun. Zuckerberg, this guy who's worth a lot of money and kind of a big deal, who runs Facebook, who wrote a letter, open letter to Honorable Chairman Jim Jordan a few months ago, was with

• 2:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump yesterday at Mar-a-Lago. I don't know what they were doing, maybe he was showing him how to use Instagram better, maybe it's the algorithms, maybe it's Facebook. Maybe it's how to post better edited videos. I don't know, but something tells me it was more than that. We will talk about that. To tariffs. All these folks from Mexico, president, coming out talking shit. "We're not gonna do this, we're not gonna do that." And then Trump makes the call. "Well, we had a very good call together and it's gonna be fantastic." "Justin Trudeau, they can't make us do anything." "Well, yeah, it was actually, it's actually gonna be very interesting working together. It's gonna be great. We're gonna play some of those clips for you." Trump demands apology from New York Times. And we'll tell you why that is. Very interesting story there. Trump transition news live up this Justin Trudeau.

• 3:04Patrick Bet-David?

  President-elect had good talk, we'll play that clip, Tom, because I had something to respond to that. DNC official says Harris took no responsibility for blowing billions during campaign donor call. This person says they were stunned. And by the way, imagine if you gave her millions of dollars. And she failed with all the money you gave her. You believed in her. Then it's the last meeting, it's the donor meeting. To come and say thank you to all the people that gave you the money and you don't show up. Like, tell me who does such a thing, right? No show, nothing at all, and yet on some list, she's at the top of the list of candidates for 2028. And there's a person here that's aspiring to run in 2028. That something happened yesterday, which Jason Miller shared and Tom brought it up to our attention.

• 3:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Hillary Clinton, looks like she's planning for another one for 2028. So that's exciting stuff, folks. Very exciting stuff. Then Kamala Harris, you know, gives a message on video. Meghan McCain said, "I don't understand why anyone on her team would even allow this video to be released. We're gonna show it to you." "It's extremely disturbing, entertaining." "We can use a handful of different words like that in it, but you have to see it to believe that it's not a spoof. Nowadays, you have to think it's a deep fake. This is not a deep fake, right? This is one- Their campaign has to come out and say, this is a deep fake because it's that bad. After you see another clip, I saw this guy on CNN uses the phrase deer.

• 4:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, deer. He uses the phrase deer and you should see what they do. I think his name is Leon, uh, uh, we'll, we'll show the clip. That you can't call a woman deer nowadays. And I posted a tweet and the commentary is super entertaining. Newsom proposes electric vehicle tax rebate plan. And, and you have to see which company he is not wanting to support. And somebody asked him, well, you got 20, 26,000 employees here that they employ. I'll just let you see the clip for yourself and tell me if it makes any sense. Tom's got a bunch of stuff. He's going to be responding to that. And then a poll comes out revealing who the Democrats and Republicans want to see run in 2028. Very interesting. Fired CBS reporter reveals that her bosses blocked her Elon Musk interview.

• 5:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Why would you block an Elon Musk interview? We'll share that. Israel approves a two month ceasefire with Hezbollah. Uh, ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the last time he sent something and went viral, here's another one for you. He warns the perfect AI girlfriend could worsen loneliness for young men. We will talk about that. Do you know FHA raises conforming loans limit to 806? Uh, 806,000 and a bunch of different numbers on real estate will share Baker Mayfield's father. He's suing his father. Can you imagine? He claims his dad stole $12 million from him. Dad stole $12 million from him? Yeah, his dad stole it. It's kind of like that comedian that his brother stole money from.

• 5:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, 25 million, 20 million.

• 5:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Whatever the number was, yes. Wicked interview sparks confusion over holding space. Folks, this video. I almost don't want to share it with you because I want you to have a happy Thanksgiving. This may disturb you a little bit when you see this strange video interview. I've never seen anything like this in my life before. Sharon Stone is not happy. I remember when her and I spoke. About Florida. She was not a fan of Florida. We'll talk about why Sharon's not happy. And then we got a bunch of other things you need to know about pharmacies. What's open today if something happens? We'll cover that. We'll cover Elon asking if the IRS should be deleted. After agency begs for $20 billion, he asks on Twitter and then him and Vivek. Toy with eliminating daylight savings time. I'm curious who on this panel is with that and who's not with it.

• 6:42Patrick Bet-David?

  And then Kamala Harris apparently didn't go on the Joe Rogan podcast because Trump sat down with him. And because of that, he didn't want to, she didn't want to go on it, which is kind of very weird to think about. And then Kamala Harris calls like, Kevin already calls like Kamala. And a few other things here to share with you. But anyways, hey, today is Thursday. It's Thanksgiving. Tomorrow is Black Friday. And the reason why they call it Black Friday is because that is the first day that a lot of the retailers go into profit mode. So whatever else they make the rest of the year, hey, the name is Black Friday. Let me tell you what my code's been every year for Black Friday. Many, many years ago, it was about lining up outside of Walmart. Or Best Buy or Costco. I'm gonna get the big TV for 50% discount. Nowadays, it's Amazon.

• 7:27Patrick Bet-David?

  And all this other stuff. And you splurge and you splurge and you splurge. And nothing about you improved and it's the same old, same old. Here's what we're doing for Black Friday, folks. First of all, we have a massive Black Friday sale that's gonna be 50% off. There's a whole setup. 50% off hats, shirts. We have this notebook here, the value attainment notebook, that's got the multiple different charts that we use at the Vault Conference. For some of you guys that are business owners. This is a perfect notebook for you. 50% discount shirts, gears, you'll see all these things, wallets. Angry Patriot stickers, even the SLS Leadership Event that if you attended it. It's $5,000 a ticket to $30,000 held at Mar-a-Lago.

• 8:10Patrick Bet-David?

  The recording is selling for $1,000. Today's discount of $497. If you go all the way to the top, Rob, we have a bundle with all the different courses combined together. It's a price point of $12,688 when you buy it independently for the entire, entire week. Whether you want to improve your sales or how to be a better public speaker, how to create content that goes viral, how to have strategies to scale your business, the Vault Recording, the Advanced Business Strategy, Business Planning Workshop, all of it that people if they wanted to buy a ticket, they could spend twenty, thirty thousand dollars for the ticket, exclusive recording, this is going to be around thirty hours of recording for nine ninety-seven only. Again, represent the brands you believe in, take advantage of the brands that you want to support.

• 8:53Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm going around right now seeing value taming gear all over the place, Future Looks Bright, USA, Angry Patriot, everywhere, which is phenomenal to see. If you got big plans for 2025, find a way to recreate yourself and if you represent PBD Podcast, Value Tainment, how we process issues, what we do here, we're giving a fifty percent discount on items purely this weekend. And by the way, I'm telling you this, anybody that places an order over five hundred dollars, you're probably going to get a FaceTime call from me. So me, Adam, Vinnie, we may do a surprise FaceTime call tonight during Thanksgiving and talk to you and have a conversation with you, but the order needs to be five hundred dollars or more, you'll get some surprise FaceTime calls from us. Having said that, go to vtmerch.com, place the order before these things sell out

• 9:37Patrick Bet-David?

  because they will this weekend. All right, let's get right into it now. We started off with some updates here Thanksgiving, what it's looking like. I want to get some of my English down because sometimes, you know, every year I want to improve my English, the words I use. English is my fifth language. I'm watching the CNN interview and I'm getting confused, folks, on what nowadays is considered sexist, what's not. Rob, if you don't mind, just go to Twitter because I want to show the exchange on Twitter where I'm also showing the response. So this guy is on CNN, okay? And he calls this lady dear. And you should see the reaction. I think the host name, I tried to look her up, her name, her name is Abby Phillips or Abby Filps.

• 10:22Patrick Bet-David?

  We'll look her up right now to see what it is. Just watch this and you tell me if you're offended by this phrase, dear. Rob, if you could also, after this is up, run a poll. I want to know, I want to get better with my English. Go down, play this clip, Rob, go for it.

• 10:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Audio Rob, we can't hear anything unless if I'm deaf. Go back up a little bit please. Yeah, go ahead.

• 10:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, it's so low. What's the story there, Rob?

• 10:51Speaker 02

  It might be on the guys in the back.

• 10:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, can you guys raise the audio on the video? Go ahead and play it again.

• 10:58Speaker 02

  Run it back guys, run it back!

• 10:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, let's see what's gonna happen here. Just try to do your best to hear it.

• 11:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Misogyny. Watch.

• 11:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Pause it right there. Do me a favor, go to the comment section. Go to the comment section. So I asked a question, right? I asked the question, I said, "Go to the top Rob, and I said, 'Is this a joke, since when does calling someone dear considered sexist?'" This is exactly why CNN keeps losing common sense viewers. Go a little lower, a lady responds. And she says, "Since at least the early 2000s," she says. And I respond back respectfully, "Thanks dear." And then she responds back again, Rob, you have to show this, show replies. And she responds back and she says, "You can be sexist all you like, and I'm a housewife. You have to do too much, more than to ruffle my feathers. If that was your true intent, of course." Then I said, "Dear Jenna,

• 12:07Patrick Bet-David?

  I have tremendous respect for housewives, it's a tough job, and I applaud you for it. Respectfully, PBD." I mean, what other way do you respond back in an email? Hey, "Dear Vinnie, I love you, I respect you. Tom, your English, yours is better than everybody else. You drop some big words sometimes, I'd say second is Adam."

• 12:24Speaker 02

  Your vernacular is amazing.

• 12:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes. When did the phrase "dear" become disrespectful?

• 12:31Speaker 02

  It didn't, and it never has. It's people that choose to find new ways to say I'm offended as a means to control dialogue and to push people into corners. That's all that's going on. She knew he was not being condescending. That was a fairly civil discourse. They were getting into it a little bit. They weren't yelling. They weren't interrupting, not yet. And the guy just goes, "Okay, dear," you know, and he was not like getting it. It's not. It's not condescending. You have emails from, I get emails unsolicited from people I don't know. Dear Tom, you know, you send an email to someone that you respond to, you know, on, you know, somebody's getting upset

• 13:11Speaker 02

  on the neck and I'll respond to them on text and I say, "Dear Jane, dear Fred," you know, it's a common thing. It's almost like saying hi and hello, and it's like a salutation. It's a friendly salutation. Now, was he using it perfectly that way? Eh, probably not, but it's not negative. It's not negative. They're choosing to be offended. Now, if she wants somebody to rev up, you know, and he wants to turn to her and just really heat it up and say, "Oh, go knock it off, bitch," you know, is that what she wants? That's now, that's something for her to be like. Is that what she wants? Is that what they want? They want to, do they really want to get down? Okay, but I think she's I'm trying to get down.

• 13:54Speaker 02

  I think she's pretending to be offended, finding new ways to be offended. That's what the pronouns is all about. You're not addressing me by my pronouns. You're offending me. It's all this feigned offense.

• 14:06Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, but, but the thing is, this lady, Abby, Rob, can you pull up, let's see who this Abby Phillips person is. She's a new angry person in CNN. Can you go to Abby? Let's see her background, okay? What school did she go to?

• 14:17Speaker 02

  Here we go. Harvard.

• 14:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Previously worked at Politico covering the Obama White House, Washington Post, National and, okay, and ABC News. Okay, then that makes sense. That's her background.

• 14:26Speaker 02

  She's known no other.

• 14:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Afro-Trinidian, man, she may

• 14:30Speaker 02

  Trinidad.

• 14:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Trinidadian.

• 14:31Speaker 02

  Trini.

• 14:32Patrick Bet-David?

  She may be offended by that because it says Trina-Daddy.

• 14:36Speaker 02

  Daddy.

• 14:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Isn't that like offensive? Like Trini-Daddyian?

• 14:39Speaker 02

  Maybe she's, hang on.

• 14:40Patrick Bet-David?

  But, but by the way, Trinidadian.

• 14:42Speaker 02

  I think that means tri-sexual, T-R-I, a tri-sexual, like she'll try anything?

• 14:46Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, I'm actually making a serious comment here. Trinadadyan. That's in Armenia last night.

• 14:51Speaker 02

  Is she Armenian? Well, it's like saying Americans, she's from Trinidad.

• 14:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that what that means though? Afro-Trinidad young, like she's half-

• 14:58Speaker 02

  She's not Armenian.

• 14:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you Trini?

• 15:00Speaker 02

  Um, she's Trinidad. Trinidad and she adds Armenian to the end of it.

• 15:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, you have to put the possibility that she may be half Afro, half Armenian, because that's I A N. I A N. She could be Armenian from Iran.

• 15:15Speaker 02

  Trinidad young.

• 15:16Patrick Bet-David?

  If it's Y A N., it's from Yerevan.

• 15:18Speaker 02

  I didn't even see-

• 15:19Patrick Bet-David?

  But again, that could be my bad.

• 15:21Speaker 02

  Her family lived in, what is that Trinidad and tobacco?

• 15:23Patrick Bet-David?

  So, yeah, so that's a nice place. Okay, let's keep going.

• 15:26Speaker 02

  Let's go with tobacco.

• 15:27Patrick Bet-David?

  And what school does she go to? She wants to-

• 15:28Speaker 02

  Harvard.

• 15:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, she went to Harvard.

• 15:30Speaker 02

  What do you think?

• 15:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, Bachelor in Government, originally intend to study pr- Rob, can you just-

• 15:35Speaker 02

  She was studying pre-med. She couldn't take the chemistry issues. She said, "I'm gonna get a BA in government."

• 15:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you control F and just see if the word deer is used anywhere here?

• 15:44Speaker 02

  It's not.

• 15:45Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not. Well, then maybe she's right, because Dear Abby, uh, Dear Abby, right? Remember Dear Abby? That was the, the, the news thing, right? Where you write in all these articles. Yeah, are you kidding? Like, if there's anybody that should be for deer, it's Abby. It's her. Dear Abby, half Afro, half Armenian, like this, this is like-

• 16:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Trinidad young, am I you? I know Armenians right now, like, is she serious? Are you, is she from Yerevan? Where is she?

• 16:45Speaker 02

  That's so- I've got a lot of Trini friends, so I apologize for Trini friends out there. Okay, this next part is brought to you by DraftKings. How about the over/under of when her career's over?

• 16:53Patrick Bet-David?

  If you're not Armenian, there's I A N. There's Y A N. Hagopian. Even if the chance is less than 5% Trinidad.

• 16:59Speaker 02

  Tigranbekian.

• 17:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So maybe this is like Abby Trinidad young. And then Dear Abby. So Dear Abby, we were confused why you're offended by the phrase deer. So Adam, we'll go to you before we go to the next story. Go for it.

• 17:11Speaker 02

  So, um, I actually was having dinner last night, by the way, happy- Thanksgiving, everybody.

• 17:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Thank you, dear.

• 17:18Speaker 02

  And then what? Thank you, dear. Thank you, dear. With a lovely lady friend of mine, and I said, this, this woman. Here we go. Here we go. Back to girls. She's lovely.

• 17:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Like, listen, you could have said all of that.

• 17:29Speaker 02

  You could have just said, I went to dinner. You have to get soft voiced, you have to get sexy, just get with the story, bro. You see what I'm dealing with, you guys?

• 17:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Make your point.

• 17:37Speaker 02

  So I was having dinner with my boyfriend last night. Was that what you? Yeah, let's go.

• 17:40Patrick Bet-David?

  But you don't need to put the girl like.

• 17:42Speaker 02

  I'm telling a story, gentlemen.

• 17:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell us, tell us what happened with her.

• 17:46Speaker 02

  I'm having a conversation with this beautiful lady. And I said, and this woman is a massive Trump fan.

• 17:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Armenian or what?

• 17:55Speaker 02

  Not Armenian, American, half Venezuelan, maybe Trinidadian, I don't know.

• 18:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 18:00Speaker 02

  Um, and all of a sudden she turned Trinidadian. So the point is, I'm establishing the fact that she doesn't get offended easily. She's pro-Trump, and I said, watch this clip, what do you think? She said, ah, I'm a little offended. I said, what do you mean?

• 18:16Speaker 02

  She said, if you, it's all about the tone. If you say, listen, dear, can I help you out here? Zero problem. But if you say, excuse me, dear, I'd be a little offended. I said, okay. So maybe it'd be the equivalent of I, if I go, hey, listen, bro, can you pass me that? Or, hey, bro, if I'm like, listen, bro, maybe you'd be a little offended. So do I think he was being misogynist, chauvinistic, sexist? Zero percent. Do I think they were offended easily? A hundred percent. Do I think he was being a little bombastic?

• 18:47Patrick Bet-David?

  I think there's a more important question here.

• 18:49Speaker 02

  Yeah. I think.

• 18:50Patrick Bet-David?

  I think the more important question is.

• 18:51Speaker 02

  That was not bombastic.

• 18:52Patrick Bet-David?

  I think the more important question is, are you guys gonna go on a second date?

• 18:54Speaker 02

  That's the real question.

• 18:55Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the real question because.

• 18:56Speaker 02

  This is more than a second date, but I think this is actually great for ratings. Was she really offended and upset? This was the, this was the best exchange that we could possibly see.

• 19:06Patrick Bet-David?

  I want you to wear a Merry Christmas hat.

• 19:08Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 19:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And ask her, excuse me, dear, is this offensive?

• 19:11Speaker 02

  I mean, let her know what to do, I mean.

• 19:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Merry Christmas.

• 19:15Speaker 02

  Here's.

• 19:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Right? And then just go on a day with her.

• 19:17Speaker 02

  If you were to, if, was she upset? Did it like go downhill, like into a deeper conversation? Believe me, it definitely didn't go downhill. Cause I was. Cause you never know with you, you may upset her and then you're walking out front, you toss the condoms to the valet and say, I don't need these. Condoms, come on, what's wrong with you, Tom?

• 19:34Speaker 02

  What am I, a sailor?

• 19:36Speaker 02

  But if you're that guy.

• 19:38Patrick Bet-David?

  You need to clap back dude. He sat there as if he was getting lectured by Abby. Oh my god.

• 19:43Speaker 02

  Well, he knows that he'll never be on the show again.

• 19:45Patrick Bet-David?

  I'd be like, listen. I told her what I needed to tell her and you shut your mouth also, dear. That's what I would have done. Boom, ratings. If that was, if that guy was actually legit, he would have clapped back. He's a good guy. By the way, he's been a Trump advisor since 2016.

• 20:00Speaker 02

  Well, that's why they're going.

• 20:00Patrick Bet-David?

  This is not a regular guy. This is an experienced guy. However, listen, no, no. Listen, Hoss. Listen, Hoss. First of all, first of all, first of all, the point is this, okay? The power of that is the fear of not being invited back. Okay? The fear of not being invited back by CNN. The part about Scott Jennings that makes him a star right now is what? He claps. By the way, the guy that Dear Abby Phillips said, hey, don't say anything about, because he said, what did, the whole thing with common sense with men competing in a female, women's sports. And it's like, don't you, I don't want you to say anything about the L G B T. And then he goes like, I don't remember that one clip. And it's like, well, please, you have to respect his position. He said, well, I know I'm being attacked here.

• 20:44Patrick Bet-David?

  At least he said that I'm being attacked.

• 20:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, he is.

• 20:46Patrick Bet-David?

  So you're defending a position and they came back and they kept attacking him nonstop. Him, Scott Jennings, I think if our brother here, who's a Trump advisor watching.

• 20:54Speaker 02

  Do you walk off the set, Pat? Do you, if that happened, hold on.

• 20:57Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I ask you to, I, I want you to ask me to leave.

• 21:01Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 21:01Patrick Bet-David?

  I want you to be uncomfortable. What do you mean walk off the set?

• 21:04Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 21:05Patrick Bet-David?

  You gotta stop the interview. And you gotta be like, I'm sorry, excuse me. I'm gonna keep saying Dear Abby.

• 21:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, good. That's what I'm saying.

• 21:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Sweetheart, honey.

• 21:12Speaker 02

  Honey baby.

• 21:12Patrick Bet-David?

  What else you want? Pumpkin. Where do you want me to go with this thing?

• 21:15Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 21:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay? Where do you want me to go? Do you want humpkin, honey, pumpkin, all this stuff? We used to have one person in our office that every time she would, by the way, this is me, I'm a literal guy and she would say pumpkin.

• 21:25Speaker 02

  To you?

• 21:25Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm from friggin' Middle East. We don't do Halloween. I'm like, you call me pumpkin one more time, I swear to God, right?

• 21:31Speaker 02

  It's a rap.

• 21:32Patrick Bet-David?

  You can call me Patrick, Pat, that's it.

• 21:34Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 21:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Pumpkin, cross the line.

• 21:36Speaker 02

  That's a ridiculous.

• 21:37Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a ridiculous, because that's like, that's derogatory.

• 21:39Speaker 02

  Yeah. Hey, apple pie.

• 21:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so anyways, but look, I don't wanna get pissed off right now. I wanna get to the next story here, guys. Let's go to the next story, whatever. This is a little frustrating, but let's go to a more, let's go to a little bit more of a, a, a, um.

• 22:43Speaker 03

  I just have to remind you don't you ever let anybody take your power from me

• 22:49Patrick Bet-David?

  I won't do it

• 22:50Speaker 03

  you have the same power that you did before November 5th

• 22:54Patrick Bet-David?

  I appreciate you

• 22:55Speaker 03

  and you have the same purpose that you did

• 23:00Speaker 03

  and you have the same

• 23:02Speaker 02

  boobs

• 23:02Speaker 03

  ability to engage and inspire

• 23:06Speaker 02

  her neck is 30 years older than her face

• 23:08Speaker 03

  don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you

• 23:11Patrick Bet-David?

  you know what she's trying to say is don't let anybody take your drink away from you

• 23:16Speaker 02

  I yeah every time she says power every time we should do that let's dub it every time she says power let's put vodka like don't let anyone take your vodka from you guys can we just for one second after seeing something like this the state of the Union okay the sitting president has no idea where he is he's 1000% has dementia he's been on vacation more than any president in the history of the United States the vice president who hasn't done anything Tom for four years the borders are went to the border one time because she had to is off of a vacation after spending 1.5 billion dollars in three months and is coming in clearly she's drunk or hungover meanwhile and this is why people wonder why we are in the state

• 23:58Speaker 02

  that we are meanwhile Jake Sullivan and Anthony Blinken are literally pushing us into We have no president, the vice president is freaking tipsy and hungover and that's why Tom, and Tom, I want to know your opinion, that's why the importance of Trump coming in and showing that like these, nobody's in charge, nobody's running the country right now, and that's why the awakening, the Donald Trump awakening is one of the most important things I think in the history of of politics. Well, part of what you you talked about is lunacy, not, you're not lunacy, but it's lunacy itself, and the other part of it is serious as hell. Yes. And the part that's serious as hell is someone is calling the shots, someone was green lighting the use of missiles being shot into Russia and on one side, and on the

• 24:41Speaker 02

  other side, we've got a missing president who hasn't been seen in public. Yep. And he he took a little walk in the in the rainforest, it was such a joke and it was memed to death that he hasn't been seen even doing, you know, announcements for charity, nothing, nothing, just parading him out to say, hey, we're gonna be with the Boys and Girls Club this Christmas and with Toys for Tots, they could prop him up and have him say something like that this season, nothing from the president, and meanwhile, now you've got the vice president, after a failed campaign, heading off to Hawaii, and you know what, I need a new shirt. A one, a one oh two. I have always supported Mad, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, seriously, I have supported Mad, for good reasons.

• 25:24Speaker 02

  But now I think there needs to be a branch of it, Mothers Against Drunk Democrats, and because we need to stop her. Yeah. My, that's, that's my feeling of it. First of all, can you go to? There's a serious, a very serious side to what you're saying, and there's a very just lunacy that we as Americans are counting down 58 days and praying for the inauguration. Go to Meghan McCain's Twitter account, if you go to Meghan McCain, she, she just tweeted this, and if you go a little lower, keep going lower, lower, lower, lower, right there, zoom in a little bit, she says,

• 25:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Take this down. She's still the sitting vice president for God's sake. This is awful. Like really, really awful. The Democrats. Go lower, Rob, if you can. The previous tweet.

• 26:06Speaker 02

  I think that's a very honest statement. That's an honest statement.

• 26:09Patrick Bet-David?

  No, she's right. Go back one. Go back one. Forty-eight million views.

• 26:12Speaker 02

  Oh my.

• 26:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you kidding me? Like, imagine you wake up the next day, your name is Kamala. You didn't know when you said yes to this. And you said, "What the hell were you guys thinking?"

• 26:20Speaker 02

  Exactly.

• 26:21Patrick Bet-David?

  And they're like, "Matt, like, you're the vice, what are you?"

• 26:25Speaker 02

  I was hungover.

• 26:26Patrick Bet-David?

  "Why did you guys let this go out?"

• 26:28Speaker 02

  Oh my goodness. Why did they let you shoot it?

• 26:30Patrick Bet-David?

  This is crazy to allow something. By the way, this is coming straight. So you know this is not a deep fake. Or maybe this is happening for a different reason. And let me kind of go into this. Maybe this, and I'm gonna come to you.

• 26:41Speaker 02

  Because she's the vice president. Biden was in the Amazon, so she's one anaconda from the president.

• 26:46Patrick Bet-David?

  And so check this out. Check this out. Check this out. And by the way, for those of you guys that enjoy having a little bit of fun on Thanksgiving, I have a challenge for you. Hang tight. We're gonna do something here fun together. It's gonna be a blast. And we're gonna be trending on Twitter, but we're gonna need your help. Hang tight for me. Hang tight for me.

• 26:58Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 26:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Before we do this together. Alright, so here we go. This story, Rob, go to this clip. "I was stunned." DSDNC official says, "Harris took no responsibility for blowing billions during campaign donor call." Zero responsibility. And by the way, you know who just took a happy $500,000 as if it's not a big deal?

• 27:19Speaker 02

  Who?

• 27:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Guess who got $500,000? Hey, man.

• 27:21Speaker 02

  From the campaign?

• 27:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, who got five? Go ahead, Tom. You know who it is.

• 27:24Speaker 02

  Can I guess? Is that Al Sharpton?

• 27:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Al Sharpton.

• 27:26Speaker 02

  Oh, weird. It's 500,000 dollars. He's 500,000 dollars too. And a bunch of other people got money.

• 27:31Patrick Bet-David?

  But watch this. Watch the fact that she's saying there was zero responsibility. Rob, please play this clip.

• 27:36Speaker 04

  She actually held two calls, one for her top donors and one for grassroots. Um, I was speaking and texting with fellow attendees of the call, and we were amazed by how self-congratulatory the tone was. I don't recall. The call was about 20, 30 minutes. I don't recall anyone taking responsibility for the fact that we spent about $2 billion across Super PAC in the campaign and came up so significantly short. We lost seven swing states.

• 28:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Self-congratulatory. And what types of things were being said?

• 28:13Speaker 04

  They praise Harris as a visionary leader. Um, I believe at one moment during the call, she was talking about her Thanksgiving recipe. I don't say this with any malice or anything. I'm just merely conveying what happened. I think I was stunned to hear that, um, given just the extent and brutality of the loss and the fact that DNC staffers, two thirds, at least two thirds have been fired summarily. And a lot of, a lot of them are at a loss as to what to do. Um, I'm just, I'm just frankly stunned that there was no sort of postmortem or an analysis of how we can do better, what sort of lessons were learned. It was really just

• 28:56Patrick Bet-David?

  She sounds like a reasonable person.

• 28:57Speaker 02

  Congratulating each other. I'm not sure.

• 28:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, what do you think about when you see this?

• 29:01Speaker 02

  So a couple of things, back to that first video. This was Kamala's most viewed viral video ever.

• 29:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Period.

• 29:08Speaker 02

  A little bit too late for this thing, you know, but here's the reality with Kamala. There's a great picture of her right here. It looks like my aunt. That looks like my drunk aunt. That's what she looks like every single Saturday. Drunk uncles. My aunt, my aunt. Hang on. That's my aunt. If you squint, your eyes blurry, she's becoming Maxine Waters. She is. Holy crap.

• 29:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, go ahead. Talk about your aunt.

• 29:29Speaker 02

  So the, um, the problem with Kamala is she, she can't win. She literally can't win when she doesn't speak enough. She's not speaking. Why isn't she speaking? She's not doing interviews. And then when she does speak, people are saying, why is this chick speaking? What? Shut her up already. What's wrong with this woman? She can't win. So that's what, that's the sign of a very bad politician. She's just incredibly unlikable. Pat said this before, if there was actually a primary and they actually had to get up on stage and debate, she wouldn't have beat Gavin Newsom, she wouldn't have beat Pritzker, she wouldn't have beat Whitmer, she wouldn't have met a whole host of people, Josh Shapiro. 2020. And thank you. Exactly. We know what happened right there. Her unlikability.

• 30:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Factor is incredibly high. They tried to basically catapult her up the mountain. R I D E I boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Put her on all these things. It didn't work. We understand that. You know, there's something called a lame duck president. This is the lamest duck vice president maybe ever. Cause not only is she still the lame duck VP, she's also the lame duck candidate that just lost. And in honor of National Turkey Day, uh, she gets the award for that. As far as how much money she spent? $2 billion? Jeez. It is what it is. That's. They could have raised $3 billion. She would have lost. She got destroyed. And the fact that she's getting on calls and not even being conciliatory and being like, my Jamaican Thanksgiving party recipe, check me out.

• 30:56Patrick Bet-David?

  It's, uh, it's all over for Kamala, but she'll get a job working for probably Halliburton or some lobbyist and make a million bucks a year. Let me, let me continue a couple of stories and Tom, I'm going to come to you. Kamala Harris campaign advisor admits she had no path to victory. This is campaign advisor. There was no path to victory? And they admitted this David Plouf on Pod Save America. Rob, do you have this? Go ahead and play this clip. There was no path for, so listen, there is no way you're going to win. Well, let's spend $2 billion. Let's give it a bunch of money to our friends and family. Of course. Go ahead, Rob. Play this clip, please.

• 31:26Speaker 05

  We got the race to dead heat, um, was positive, but boy, it was slow moving. And I think we were focused on seven states. You know, that's our windshield into the world, the battleground states. But, you know, what we saw on election day was, you know, New Jersey and California and Connecticut and New York. Massive shifts. So I think where Kamala Harris campaigned, we were able to keep the tide down a little bit. But it ended up being a pretty strong, uh, you know, tailwind for Donald Trump. And I think it's worth reminding everybody, um, we saw in 22, even though that was a pretty decent democratic year, we saw the.

• 32:07Patrick Bet-David?

  shifts. We saw him in 20. We saw him in 16. Uh, you know, Trump specifically, but Republicans generally improving their vote share.

• 32:16Speaker 02

  He doesn't actually say that in the clip. He just continues to allude that they lost all the swing states and got hammered in all of them.

• 32:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, lost all swing states and got hammered on all of them, but they saw a path that this was kind of momentum going the direction it was going 2022.

• 32:30Speaker 02

  Did you see what Humberto When he says got hammered, does he mean they were drinking with Kamala or they

• 32:35Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, she stayed six nights with her husband in a place, uh, spent six nights post-election at $1,300 a night. Hawaiian retreat owned by Mondavi wine family member. The stay included three complimentary bottles of Mondavi family wine. She later returned to the Bay area, thanks him while reflecting on her campaign while which spent over a billion dollars, but failed to win any of the battleground states. Go ahead.

• 32:57Speaker 02

  Thanks, Citizen United. This was at Humberto Santos yesterday. This was the margin of victory, uh, in each state all across the country. Humberto Santos. So, um, you see all the blue on the map? I don't. Exactly. Basically the country was like, yeah, we're done. We can't deal with this anymore. By the way, this is a, this was a, you know, what, what's the thing with the acceleration when things go two years ago, Trump's approval rating was was 30 something percent. Biden's approval rating and the Democratic approval rating after midterm elections were over 50%. The country after midterms, when the red wave was going to happen was like, yeah, we're done with this MAGA stuff.

• 33:37Speaker 02

  If you would have told the general person two years ago, after the midterm elections, oh, by the way, Trump's going to win. And the entire country is going red. Every, any normal sensible person like, what are you talking about? But over the last two years with the DEI stuff, with the woke stuff, with our friend Dylan Mulvaney, all this, not knowing the difference between a man and a woman, all the weaponization of justice, everything added up to the entire country going red. Watch this. Okay. Florida got a little bit redder. DeSantis, we get it. Texas. 14.3 Look at California and look at New York and New Jersey.

• 34:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Bleeding.

• 34:11Speaker 02

  Are you freaking kidding me? Over here, we already got away.

• 34:15Patrick Bet-David?

  You gotta explain what this means. This means which states got bluer?

• 34:20Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 34:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Which states got redder? Guys, America got redder.

• 34:23Speaker 02

  Yes. Even Hawaii. Even DC.

• 34:27Patrick Bet-David?

  That, that is.

• 34:28Speaker 02

  Not one state. Blue. Hey, tough guy. Hey, take it easy, D. I'm from Yakuza. Let me talk for a second. But, uh, and, but Adam, you nailed it. So $2 billion. And let's address the first point, because Rob talked about this yesterday on the Unusuals. All, think about all the grassroots people, all the people that busted their asses. And you, as the freaking front-running president for this party, you couldn't even come out and be like, "Hey, guys, thank you. Good job. Well, you know, congratulations for at least the thing that we did." And you know what's crazy? $2 billion and this whole, you know what they expect, though? Her race, black woman of color, it was gonna work. It's done. Everybody's done. And you proved to it with Obama. Obama didn't move the needle at all. And think about this. For that $2 billion, she should have just said, "You know what?

• 35:12Speaker 02

  I know we're gonna lose, since they know there's no path to victory. Take that $2 billion, you borders czar, you know what, and put it to the border." Let's start, that's what she should have done. "I'm gonna lose, but you know what? Instead of taking all that money and wasting it on a campaign, let's put it to the border and actually try to help A- America be protected." Well, I back in, I, bye. I'm as shocked and as emotional as you are about it. And I back down and kind of into my, my quantitative mode. That just wasn't anybody speaking. That was Lyndee Lee, who is the DNC Finance Committee. She's the money. So what do they do? They are the ones that politely reach out. "Hi, this is what we're gonna be doing. The campaign's raining money to do this. We're with the DNC. We're gonna be pushing this."

• 35:55Speaker 02

  She's going door-to-door with major corporations. She's going, she's at Google. She's at Facebook. She's at all these places. And then she's going back to Soros and these people. So this is a credible person.

• 36:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Political party, Democratic Party.

• 36:09Speaker 02

  And then what did she say happened? Two-thirds of the DNC, the Democrat National Committee, isn't just here during an election year. They're here all the time, because right now, every two years, um, House Representatives elections go off. So they are already getting ready for two years, going into the midterm elections. They're already there, because they're doing damage control right now and trying to get back in. Yeah. So she said, "Two-thirds of the DNC has been fired."

• 36:40Speaker 02

  Someone atop the DNC is reacting right now and saying, my next five moves, they're doing their next five moves. And the last point I'll make, when they say they saw no path to victory, man, you should have seen. Remember when Pat said, hey, we're doing the polling and everything, Tom, do a polling show. Let's talk to the value tainment audience. We kept it short, 10 minutes a week. We had a 17 week countdown and we carefully with the same AI.

• 37:06Patrick Bet-David?

  You carefully crushed it.

• 37:07Speaker 02

  Right, that's right. Well, we were using it. Well, Pat had invested in all those, the engineers for VT news.ai. So we were using that in the AI, building our models and looking at it. And we said, you know what? Atlas Intel, Rasmussen, these folks look like they've got it together. Cause that's the numbers we're seeing. And guess what? We were dead right. That's the same stuff that they were seeing inside DNC and they were lying to their donors, telling them that they thought they couldn't win. There's a path to victory here. They were point blank lying to them. Two thirds of all those people lost their job and you've got this woman looking at it and saying, Lindy Lee going, the campaign's got some responsibility here and I'm freaking shocked. So you just said two years is coming up. That's the next, the next election.

• 37:51Speaker 02

  As business guys, as guys that the midterms that run companies, what, how do you adjust as the Democratic DNC, whatever that? And I get on the surface, stop with the race stuff. How do you adjust? How would you guys? Hey, they're not dumb forever. My next five moves would be two thirds of you are fired. Yeah. Says there are not stupid people at the DNC. There's a lot of them, but there are people that know what they're doing, know how to run it. And someone has stepped up and said, control, alt, delete, stop. Two thirds of you are fired. Now let's get ready for the midterms. This is going to be a fight. So there are smart people that are digging.

• 38:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you who is maybe a very qualified person to answer the question for you. Do you know who Brian Williams is?

• 38:31Speaker 02

  Of course.

• 38:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Brian Williams stepped down. He had a job. He stepped down and Brian Williams.

• 38:34Speaker 02

  NBC.

• 38:35Patrick Bet-David?

  NBC.

• 38:36Speaker 02

  He was, I think, ABC at one point.

• 38:37Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, when he stepped down, he was like furious when he stepped down.

• 38:41Speaker 02

  He wrote a letter.

• 38:42Patrick Bet-David?

  He wrote a letter and it was like, and he but you know when he stepped down? I think he stepped down in the middle of election.

• 38:48Speaker 02

  Two years ago.

• 38:48Patrick Bet-David?

  No, when, when did he step down? No, no, no, no. I actually disagree. He stepped down. Uh, on outside of those of election. I don't know when he stepped down, but he stepped down.

• 38:57Speaker 02

  Announced on November twenty twenty one that he would be leaving MSNBC. So three years ago.

• 39:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, three years ago, he stepped down. Watch this.

• 39:03Speaker 02

  But he was, he was fired. He did a couple of things, right?

• 39:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, he got, he had some controversy in the past as well, but let me tell you what he said. He's on Seth, uh, what's the guy's name?

• 39:11Speaker 02

  Seth Meyers?

• 39:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Seth Meyers. So watch what he says to Seth Meyers in this, he, he goes there, his words. He says, it's tough love for the Democratic Party. It's time to re, strip down and rebuild the whole thing. Maybe we're not gonna play the whole clip. It's, it's a buck fifty. Go ahead and play this clip, Rob. Watch this.

• 39:29Speaker 05

  Yeah, like the Democratic Party under Joe Biden did a lot of things, uh, for working class voters. Uh, certainly inflation was a giant issue, uh, messaging as well. Do you feel like they just failed to message what they had done for and had planned for the economy? It is tough love time for the Democratic Party. I think it needs to be stripped down and rebuilt. I think that means a change in leadership.

• 39:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Damn.

• 39:51Speaker 05

  Um, I want to know who thought it was a good idea.

• 39:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Obama's the leader.

• 39:54Speaker 05

  That Joe Biden stand for another four years at eighty years of age and thirty seven percent popularity. So then that saddled the party with a, a, a British like short campaign season for them. Um, I think since it's insulting when members of the working class, which the Democratic Party has lost entirely in our lifetimes. Um, to insist the economy's doing great. A twelve pack of bounders is forty dollars. Rich folks don't feel that. Poor folks already switched to sparkle during the COVID, during the lockdown. And I think telling them that the NASDAQ is gangbusters is further insulting.

• 40:38Speaker 05

  It's insulting, I think, the biggest unforced error of the Biden administration. By far was the border. To tell people it's not a problem is insulting. For the working class to see incoming migrants getting welcome bags, debit cards, and motel rooms is probably insulting as well. So there's a lot of work to do. You know, it was when they handed out camo hats that said Harris Walls and the Democrats were they were kind of charmed by that. Their party has gone quinoa and the rest of America's eating at Cracker Barrel. And so they it was kind of an ironic use of something millions of Americans put on their

• 41:21Speaker 05

  heads to start their day every day.

• 41:24Speaker 02

  Wow, I didn't see that.

• 41:25Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, you can't put it better than the way a Democrat put it. A Democrat that's been in this space, that was part of mainstream. He's telling you this is the problem to the face of a guy that is all in for all of those things that he trashed. And so imagine his audience has been hearing him say all this stuff, look at the great economy, look at what's going on. It's like, no, man, you've been fooling people as well. You're part of the problem. To his face.

• 41:54Speaker 02

  So Pat, who steps up? Okay, Obama, done. Hillary, yeah, she's hinting, she's they who's gonna step up for the Democratic Party? I'm being genuine. And like, all right, guys, no more of this race shit, LGBTQ, whatever, this dear, sensitive crap. We have to admit that the border is this. Who's gonna step up for them? And be like, listen, this is how we're gonna do it. All you old people, get the hell out. We have to go new.

• 42:17Patrick Bet-David?

  You know who had a shot? I mean, Rob just pulled this up. If you want to zoom in a little bit, Rob, who do Democratic voters want to see run in 2020? Kamala's at 37%. Which, by the way, if you're conservative, that's great.

• 42:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, please.

• 42:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Fantastic. Please run her. Gavin Newsom, seven.

• 42:30Speaker 02

  Satan's son.

• 42:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Fantastic Pete, four. Whitmer, three. Josh Shapiro, three. Michelle Obama, two.

• 42:37Speaker 02

  They have nobody.

• 42:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Bernie, two. Tim Walz, one. Undecided 35%.

• 42:40Speaker 02

  Whoever the undecided guy is, he should go. Because that, you know what I mean?

• 42:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's what I would say when it comes down to this. There were moments, and this is a missed opportunity on him. The one guy on this list that's the most formidable is who? Who's the most formidable?

• 42:55Speaker 02

  Shapiro.

• 42:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Shapiro, and who's the second most formidable?

• 42:57Speaker 02

  Gavin Newsom.

• 42:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, perfect. So let's go through those two guys.

• 43:00Speaker 02

  Shapiro on policy, Newsom on presence.

• 43:03Patrick Bet-David?

  And remember, the one thing I've learned in my lifetime is, do you think Trump is the smartest when it comes down to policy?

• 43:11Speaker 02

  No. Out of all them, I think.

• 43:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Out of all the Republican candidates, 2016, who is the most qualified lawyer, military, policy, worked in Congress, worked as a senate, worked at a governor, ran as a state, knows the swamp, is he the most qualified?

• 43:28Speaker 02

  The answer is he is not the most qualified. He's the best marketer and he conveys the message the best. The one who's probably. Ted Cruz. It's Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz, if you take away how he says it and how he upsets people, and you were just to look at, if he wrote it down and you read it, you would say whoever wrote this paper here is the guy.

• 43:46Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm with you, but guess what my point is? You know what we've learned? Market doesn't care who's the smartest.

• 43:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're right.

• 43:52Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, I'm telling you.

• 43:53Speaker 02

  You're right.

• 43:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Market doesn't care who's sitting. The market's like, who do I think's gonna get the job done?

• 43:58Speaker 02

  Period.

• 43:58Patrick Bet-David?

  We're so much like, you go, you wanna, like, I remember one time I went to, one of my guys is like, hey, you wanna meet the smartest guy that knows every single word in the Bible? I'm like, what are you talking about? He says, you give him any scripture, he's gonna tell you exactly what it is. He's memorized the entire Old and New Testament. I said, get out of here. He says, no, you gotta come this Sunday, see him in service. I go to his service. There's less than 100 people in this guy's church. He's been doing it for 20 years. And I said, wait a minute, this is the guy? He says, yeah. He says, you wanna meet him afterwards? Ask him any question? I said, yeah. Afterwards, we meet him. I'm like, what about this? And what about that? Boom, boom, boom. Just random. You open up the Bible to him, Deuteronomy. Not stuff like Proverbs, you know, whatever. He's got it. And walk him out. You know what I asked the guy?

• 44:41Patrick Bet-David?

  I said, if he knows so much about the Bible, how come no one comes to his church? He's been doing this for 20 years. Because he doesn't know how to baptize. He doesn't know how to deliver the message. Newsom knows how to deliver the message. Newsom showed signs of going to the center a little bit. Remember when Tom would say, here's another opportunity. Here's another chance that he's shown that he's going to center. He's doing this, he's doing that. And then what does he do? He fumbles it again. Look at this here. Newsom proposes electric vehicle tax rebate plan. Make up your mind. Do you want us to drive electric or gas? What is the incentive? Tell us. Okay, I'm gonna read this, Rob, and then you can play the clip.

• 45:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Newsom has proposed a new electric vehicle rebate program that may exclude Tesla. A move that has drawn a, drawn ire from CEO Elon Musk. The initiative aims to revitalize the state's clean vehicle rebate program, which was phased out in 2023. And as a response to President-elect Donald Trump's plans to eliminate federal tax credits for EVs, Musk criticized the proposal as insane, highlighting that Tesla is the only electric vehicle manufacturer in California and previously received a significant portion of state rebates. Newsom's office contends that excluding larger market players like Tesla could foster competition amongst automakers. The proposal, which would necessitate negotiations with the state legislature,

• 46:06Patrick Bet-David?

  is seen as part of Newsom's strategy to counter federal policies under Trump. Rob, go on and play this clip. Go for it.

• 46:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Tesla's electric vehicles would likely not qualify for California's new state tax credits. That's under a proposal in the works if President-elect Donald Trump scraps the credit for EV purchases. The update came from the state's governor Gavin Newsom's office on Monday. It prompted Tesla shares to close down 4% and fall another 1.2% in after-hours trading. Reuters reported this month that Trump's transition team is considering eliminating the federal tax credit of $7,500 for EV sales. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a close Trump adviser, sharply criticized the idea of barring the automaker from EV subsidies. He wrote on X in response, "Even though Tesla is the only company who manufactures their

• 47:31Speaker 04

  EVs in California, this is insane." The state faces financial headwinds with an estimated $2 billion budget deficit next year. EVs account for 22% of California's car sales. But Musk and Newsom have clashed over a number of state policies. These include the shutting of a Tesla factory during the pandemic and California's approval of a bill on transgender children. In 2021, Tesla moved its headquarters from California to Texas. Musk said this year that his other companies such as SpaceX and social media platform X will follow suit.

• 48:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you imagine that? You can pause it right there. By the way, 56% of new EV sales in California last quarter, according to Bloomberg, were all what?

• 48:17Speaker 02

  Tesla.

• 48:18Patrick Bet-David?

  56% and you're doing something like this, Tom? What are your thoughts on this year?

• 48:22Speaker 02

  Well, first of all, let's just look at the facts before I go off. So, Newsom's office says excluding larger market players like Tesla, no, excluding Tesla, could foster competition among automakers. But wait a minute. No other EV manufacturers make anything in California. So because you're having a hissy fit over Elon Musk and you're going to do this, you're going to cause others to compete with Tesla. But there's 27,000 Californians employed by Tesla, including 22,000 at the factory in Fremont. Let me pronounce Fremont, San Francisco Bay Area. So it's the most liberal of the liberal areas of the state.

• 49:05Speaker 02

  And you have 22,000 Californians that work there. Meanwhile, your governor is going to say there needs to be more competition. And if there's more competition and it's successful, some of those people could get laid off. Isn't that shocking? So I look at that and I'm like, what are you doing? The other side of it is you're basically playing the same hissy fit retaliation. This is how liberals retaliate. This is, and I'll prove it. The 2021 Biden White House EV Summit. Who did they not invite? Elon Musk. If you go back and look at the articles there, there were two articles that were written in the mainstream media

• 49:46Speaker 02

  that said that was the point where Musk went from neutral to breaking from the Democrats. That that was Musk saying, well, that's the last straw. And what did he do to them? He basically put jet fuel in the Trump campaign, supporting it with all the things he did. And so he is in no small part a very active participant in the defeat of Joe Biden. And now you're sitting here, Gavin Newsom, basically throwing a fit, saying you're going to eliminate some subsidies. And by the way, you're trying to get to 30% EVs in California. You saw that announcement, right? Big thing? And yet you're going to make the EV more expensive for Californians

• 50:29Speaker 02

  and you're going to put some Californian jobs at risk. But he's going to run to the microphone, the slick guy that he is, and he's going to put the spin on it. But the truth, the absolute truth is this is an absolute wrong-headed policy that Democrat congressman, Democrat congressman, talking about US congressman, Democrats in California are saying, what are we doing? What are we doing here?

• 50:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but the reason why we went into this story with Newsom is the following. Newsom has a shot at 2028. So who is gonna be, when Brian Williams is saying, "We need to get rid of everything that they've done and start all over," right? Okay, leadership at the top. Who is the voice of the Democratic Party? It's Obama.

• 51:14Speaker 02

  It's Barack.

• 51:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. And who do you put in the top five today? Who are the voices of the Democratic Party?

• 51:20Speaker 02

  Barack, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer.

• 51:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Soros has to be in there because he's the money guy, right? So he's in the top five.

• 51:29Speaker 02

  Not George, Little Soros. Little Soros, oh yeah, Alex.

• 51:31Patrick Bet-David?

  And then you got a few other names that you're thinking about, right? Okay, so somebody has to come in. Think about, who is the Soros of the right today? Who is the Soros? Of course it is, and it's not even close. And Soros going against Elon Musk, who is more powerful?

• 51:45Speaker 02

  Elon Musk.

• 51:45Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not even close. Because Soros doesn't know how to, he's not out there. Elon is, and he's gonna have a very hard time competing against Elon. He wishes he had Elon's type of money. He's still gonna do his part, he's still gonna play his game, but it's not gonna work when it comes down to going up against a Musk. There needs to be an outsider, because look what's going on here that even Ilhan Omar comes out and says, "What the hell were you thinking, Harrison Waltz, when you started courting Liz Cheney? She called it a huge misstep." By the way, it is.

• 52:21Speaker 02

  Huge.

• 52:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's a person that, when Christian Bale won the, what do you call it? The Oscar, and he says, "I wanna thank the devil for allowing me to play this movie." He called Dick Cheney the devil when he won. Do you guys not remember the speech? So you are able to say that at frickin' Oscars after you win for the movie Vice, and now you wanna go get, you think American people forgot?

• 52:48Speaker 02

  Nope.

• 52:48Patrick Bet-David?

  So you want American people to go back? I don't know if we can pay it, if we get flagged or not, but that's the speech. Will we get flagged, Rob, or no?

• 52:55Speaker 02

  No, we're commentating on it.

• 52:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Play the clip, is this the one, Rob?

• 52:58Speaker 02

  It is, but it's 2 minutes and 16 seconds long.

• 53:00Patrick Bet-David?

  I think he says it in the first 10 seconds. Let's see if this is what it is.

• 53:05Patrick Bet-David?

  I think he says it right off the bat.

• 53:06Speaker 02

  Oh, look at all of us, what a bunch of lucky buggers we are, right? To make a life out of doing something that we love, right? That's extraordinary. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of that for so many years. Thank you to my beautiful wife. Beautiful. Who told me less is more. Say less right now. She knows the dumb crap that can come out of my mouth at times. I can sink and ruin a perfectly good movie and a so-so career in one speech. So, thank you for that advice, my love. I wouldn't be working without her. And thank you for our beautiful children. Come on. Banana and burrito. You know, they're giving me a love and a soul that I never thought possible. Thank you to that geezer over there, Adam.

• 53:48Patrick Bet-David?

  He's welcome. We can pause it, Rob. He can find a shortcut when he gets to it. He gets right to it.

• 53:54Speaker 02

  He literally says Satan.

• 53:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, he says the Satan or devil. He says, "I want to thank him because without him, I would have never played a role." So, but anyways, so you do that. So now, they're all behind closed doors, but here's the part. This is exactly where in the Republican Party right now, there are no opportunities. You know why? Why are there no opportunities today in the Republican Party? Because Trump owns the party and then you have J.D. Vance that's gonna be like that. Let me tell you why. No, because there's the Republican Party today, under Trump, they don't need anything.

• 54:27Speaker 02

  You're right.

• 54:27Patrick Bet-David?

  There is no problem to solve. They got the right people.

• 54:30Speaker 02

  Yup, and the right policies and the right team.

• 54:32Patrick Bet-David?

  For example, like, you know, "Hey, I want to be the governor of such and such." Great, guys are right now reaching out to me, "Hey, who do you think's gonna be the next governor of Florida? You want to run after DeSantis? He's done a great job. Go ahead." What are you gonna solve? Tell me what he's done that you're gonna do better.

• 54:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 54:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Than DeSantis. Go ahead. The only, you understand what I'm saying? Like, you got flipping one and a half million votes. Or the next senator because Marco Rubio's seat is up. There is, there literally, there's more opportunities on the Democratic Party right now than the Republican Party. Because under the Republican Party, you can't be an outsider and say, "You see, the reason why Trump didn't win is because of that." You don't have that ability. It's done. There is no argument. So many establishment Republicans were waiting for him to lose to say, "This is why our way, and if you guys would have listened to us." Right? Guess what? The Democratic Party has that opportunity. You got a good argument? This is the time for you to come out and show your argument. Because they're in shambles.

• 55:27Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 55:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Right now. They are in shambles right now. And by the way, you know who that could be? Let me tell you who that could be. That could be a common sense outsider that has a lot of money. That could be a common sense outsider with a lot of wealth, a lot of finances who can come in and say, "Look, guys, if you guys want to go this route, I'm not with it. If you guys want to go this crazy, I'm not with it. If you guys want to go in, you know, transgender puberty block, I'm not with it. If I'm for this, I'm for boom, boom, boom, boom. Okay? If you're for boom, boom, boom, boom, I'm in. If not, I'm out." So this is the problem. Rogan's doing a podcast, I think yesterday, he's talking to Marc Andreessen,

• 56:13Patrick Bet-David?

  and he tells Marc, he says, "Hey, they keep talking about they gotta go find their next Joe Rogan on the left." Joe says, "You had him. I was with you. You lost me." "What do you mean, go find a Joe Rogan on the left? I was you." And now you're asking, "Is this the one, Rob?" No, hang on, I'm looking for it. You'll see it, you'll see it. You had me, and now you want to go out there and say you're gonna find the next Joe Rogan? Now they gotta go build the next Joe Rogan on, who is it? Alice Cooper? Alice Cooper's not Joe Rogan? No. Is that her name, by the way? I won't say correctly. I don't want to...

• 56:44Speaker 02

  Alex Cooper.

• 56:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Alex Cooper. It's not, there's no I A N at the end, right? So, Alex Cooper, yeah, so Alex Cooper, Alex Cooper Young, right? So Alex Cooper, you think she's gonna be the next Rogan? Who's gonna be the next Rogan on the left? And by the way, what is the next Rogan? You know what is the next Rogan? Yesterday, I'm talking to Kevin McCarthy, and we're having a conversation about a book. He's always such a big reader, so he's always like, we share books with each other. He says, "In the book Think Again," you know what's the concept about the book Think Again? It's like, it's okay to be wrong and think again. I think it's by the guy Adam Grant. He wrote another book called Originals, which I frickin' love. It's like, hey, and by the way, this guy's a liberal himself, the author, but it's okay.

• 57:25Patrick Bet-David?

  So if the Democrats can't think again, and you're stubborn to your old policies that you can't let go, guess what? You may be destroyed for many, many, many years to come because right now they have these predictions, Rob, I don't know which page it's at, if you can help me out, that says the picks of the left and the right of president for 2028. And they have the favorites, it's on one of these pages, I just looked, oh, there it is. It's on page seven, poll reveals who Democrats and Republicans want to run in 2028. Here's a poll showing the left and the right, is this the one on the left? Yes. Okay, so we just showed that, can you go to the one on the right? Look at the one on the right, if you got it, that'd be great to show it. Here's the one on the right, look at that, boom, look at that. It's not even close, JD's 30.

• 58:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Ron is 5, Vivek 3, Haley 2, RFK is now considered a Republican. Wow. Tulsi 1, 51% undecided, right? So, you go to JD, okay, Trump goes the way he's going, by the way, you guys remember when I said, uh, pre-election, it's Trump won, then everybody else? I said post-election, enemy of the state number one is gonna be who? Musk, then JD, then Trump and everyone else? It's already happening, you know what stories are circulating right now? Let me tell you what, what stories are circulating right now. They're showing pictures of Trump standing in the back next to Musk while Musk is speaking? And Trump's looking like skeptical, okay?

• 58:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Because what they're trying to do now is, this, and, and I called it, that's the one right there, fifth one, fifth one, Rob. Now, no, that's, that's, uh, not, there's one other one you'll see where he's looking at him with a frown. I think you just showed it. Yeah, so, so he's, that's not the one, that's another one. So, uh, uh, so anyways, this is what they're gonna be doing. What they're gonna be doing right now is the following, you know what the perfect play is? Let me tell you what the perfect play is. Oh, and it's gonna, it could work. I hope it doesn't work, but it could work. What I love about what Musk said is, I don't want any credit, I don't want any awards, I don't want any money, I just wanna make America great, I don't want nothing. It's a beautiful thing, because sometimes they say the best CIA agents, when I interviewed this lady who was a CIA agent of 2020,

• 59:38Patrick Bet-David?

  or Joan Mendez, I said, what makes for a great CIA agent, do you remember her answer? No. That's a great salesperson, great negotiator, extremely charming, extremely charismatic, hardworking, phenomenal at everything they do. But when they meet somebody, they don't go and brag about who they met and post a picture all over social media and tag it. Oh, look who I am, right? They are willing, they they saved the free world and they don't want the credit for it. That's the right CIA agent, right? Sometimes that makes for somebody that's a good right hand guy, a good running mate, somebody that is not like looking for that credit. Elon Musk is showing that. I'm the richest man in the world and I want nothing from you, Trump.

• 1:00:18Patrick Bet-David?

  But they're gonna do the following, and I'm telling you, it could work effectively if it gets under Trump's skin. And here's what it is. Forty laws of power, law number one, Rob, can you go to forty laws of power, law number one? Do you know what law number one is?

• 1:00:31Speaker 02

  Never outshine. Don't outshine.

• 1:00:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Never outshine the master. Law number one, never outshine the master. For the next four years, nobody can outshine Trump. And I mean, nobody. If anything happens and credit is given and they spin it, this is how they do it. You ready?

• 1:00:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Elon Musk is Trump's puppet master.

• 1:01:01Patrick Bet-David?

  That's what they're going to do. That's coming soon. Guy mannequed me yesterday, says everything he said about Zuck, because he says you and Trump are time travelers. You guys are like, you're predicting all this stuff. And it was a funny thing that he's saying. But I I know they have to create that friction between those two. It's not even JD right now, they'll do JD and you're three, four. But they have to do Musk right now, you're one, you're two. First, they're gonna have to find that play between the two and they're gonna have to write it all over the place. Cover of Time Magazine, it's gotta be a puppet master, what do you call it? A picture of Musk and Trump on the bottom, holding him, just to poke the bear. That's what they're going to do.

• 1:01:42Patrick Bet-David?

  And they're going to say, the president of the United States is really Elon Musk, it's not Trump. Elon Musk is the president of the United States and he's toying with Trump. And they're gonna poke the bear, poke the bear, poke the bear. And I just pray and hope it does nothing to Trump.

• 1:02:02Patrick Bet-David?

  I pray and hope when that comment is made, Musk attacks whoever wrote it. Cause they're going to do it. It is coming. Whenever you go up against a divisive community. Who, the way, there's two types of people who win in life, Vinny. It's very weird. They, they compete in a very different way. The one type that wins is the guy that's willing to go to work. Solve the problem, recruit the people, raise the money. Be patiently aggressive, eventually boom. We win. Yes. And look at what we've built. But the opposition is the one that wins by preventing you from winning.

• 1:02:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Spreading rumors, spreading disinformation, throwing you under the bus. Propaganda, pinning you against your people. Internally getting in a web and using phrases like, you see, you never get credit. Everyone's this, you know, without you, Trump would have never won. You're the reason why he won Pennsylvania. You're the reason why this, if you would have done that, do you realize that you're the person that may pull this up? Do you realize that you were the one that, that, that? That's how they play. And by the way, sometimes this is more effective short term. This is effective long term, but this is effective short term. Look what happened when he's like, yeah, they got me for six years. Russia collusion, who else did they get? For six years. But guess what? It was effective enough to not win in 2020. Yep.

• 1:03:26Patrick Bet-David?

  It was effective enough when 51 CIA secret intel, intelligence officers said, there's nothing in that laptop. It worked. It's effective to say, hey, Dorsey, don't post that story up from New York Post. It worked. These guys are great at winning short term. But they ruin marriages, they ruin incredible alliances, they destroyed great relationships. They destroyed great empires. This movie that came out Gladiator 2. Denzel plays the villain who goes and divides the two brothers, helps one brother kill the other brother. That's the story. Short term, he wins. Long term, listen. It's fine long term, but this is only a four year, four year, what do you call it, term?

• 1:04:06Patrick Bet-David?

  And in four years, you're going to, I'm convinced this image I just told you is coming very soon. I'm convinced. They're gonna play this card very soon. I already see it. And so the fact that it's out there, I hope people are talking about this. You know, where they're gonna play this card.

• 1:04:25Patrick Bet-David?

  And I, I, I just hope Trump's folks are preparing for this. They're going to do it. They're going to do it. And then if it's across the board with everybody, Time, CNN, MSNBC, you know, Politico, Vanity Fair, every one of them is playing to this card.

• 1:04:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Forty laws of power, law number one, never outshine the master. And, and I'm convinced the person that's going to prevent this from happening is Musk. Cause Musk doesn't care to get the credit. Musk is a true believer. Musk, I believe, is doing it because he really believes in something, or else how much more money do you need? If it was anybody else, I think it could work. I don't think it could work just because I think it's Musk. Just because, because I think Musk is a natural, organic flag carrier. Do you understand what I'm saying with this whole messaging? So, for me, that's why I said an outsider in the Democratic Party could come in, but that person needs to come in and say, hey Obama, let's face it, you've lost credibility. We're still gonna need you, but this is not working, the stuff we're pitching. And someone that everybody in

• 1:05:30Patrick Bet-David?

  that room respects and fears, that has money and clout. Who that is, I don't know. I don't know who that is, but it's gotta be somebody that's respected, fear, will clout to do it, or else the other side's gonna be sweeping for potentially 12 years. 12 years. JD two terms, Trump one term. We could be looking at till 2038, a Republican White House in America.

• 1:05:50Speaker 02

  Yeah. Can I give you some validity to that?

• 1:05:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, of course.

• 1:05:53Speaker 02

  So this whole conversation started off with Vinny's question of what's gonna happen to the Democratic Party? How are they gonna rebuild this? I've been thinking about this. I've been sort of sitting on this. It's not gonna just be a little bit of change. It's not a good amount of change. It's gonna take a radical amount of change. It makes me think of the story of a PBD 2003, 2004, where you said, I think it was when your dad had a heart attack. By the way, love you, Papa. Happy Thanksgiving. You said, I'm done. Don't call me to go to the club anymore. I'm not drinking, I'm reading, I'm not listening to the radio anymore. I'm not going on dates. You went 18 months without sex. Unbelievable.

• 1:06:31Patrick Bet-David?

  17 months.

• 1:06:32Speaker 02

  Okay, sorry about that. You know, I tried to give you a little extra credit right there.

• 1:06:36Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, because I remember.

• 1:06:38Speaker 02

  PBD, you okay? You offended? Good?

• 1:06:41Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I just feel bad.

• 1:06:42Speaker 02

  Radical. I felt, I feel bad for the girl who got the 18 months.

• 1:06:47Speaker 02

  But it took a radical amount of change. Think about this. The last time the Democrats were in this position, you talked about 12 years. Think about what happened in 1980.

  Reagan shows up. It's Pat's favorite president ever, Jimmy Carter. 12 years, Democrats controlled the country. Two terms of Reagan, he comes in in 1980, 1984, he blows out Walter Mondale. I think it was 49 to 1. The only state they won was Tim Walz's favorite state, Minnesota, Walter Mondale. Electoral college landslide, 525-13 blowout. 12 years of Republicans. And then Bill Clinton shows up, and if not for Ross Perot showing up, talking about the flat tax, then George W. Bush, H. W. Bush, he might have won that presidency. Who's the one person that George Bush Senior will not talk about? He won't talk about Ross Perot. Bill Clinton shows up, boom, balances the budget. But

• 1:07:43Speaker 02

  the Democratic Party is gonna have to have a radical transformation. They're gonna have to take a long look in the mirror. How do you lose the unions, bro? How do you lose the Teamsters? These guys are in bed with the Democrats forever. The Teamsters, the UAW, the Unions, who did they endorse this year? Nobody. They're saying, no, we're not playing this game this. Common sense, reasonable, and being reasonable, right? So enough with the racist, and not everything is misogynist, the DEI, the woke stuff. Brian Williams, you talked about that guy, seems pretty reasonable, seems pretty common sense. I would call that guy a JFK Democrat, maybe even a Clinton Democrat. A guy like that's looking at the modern Democratic Party and being like, what the hell is going on here? But there's gonna

• 1:08:25Speaker 02

  have to be massive up people. Why? Because unlike 1992, the universities are woker than ever, the social media companies are woker than ever, the lame stream media woker than ever, Hollywood woker than ever. You see, speaking of Hollywood, so much Sharon Stone said about basically how Americans are just uneducated, they're idiots, out of touch, not give a shout out to Hall and Oates. But the most out of touch there is, is what you're talking about with Gavin Newsom, just to kind of put a ribbon on this thing, how when Biden didn't invite Elon Musk to the White House For the EV summit, hello? That's like, hey, guys, we're gonna have all the best players in all of sports show up today. You don't invite Patrick Mahomes, you don't invite Messi, you don't invite Luca,

• 1:09:10Speaker 02

  you don't invite LeBron, Otani, sorry, your invite got sent to Japan, my bad. Aaron Judge, how do you leave Elon Musk out of anything that has to do with?

• 1:09:19Patrick Bet-David?

  It's double down, but by the way, you know, you know.

• 1:09:21Speaker 02

  You do it intentionally.

• 1:09:22Patrick Bet-David?

  You, you, you have a point, a, a Ross Perot type of person has to come out. A Ross Perot, but, but my concern is they've lost them all.

• 1:09:33Speaker 02

  Well, they got Mark Cuban.

• 1:09:34Patrick Bet-David?

  They've lost, and Mark Cuban's not the guy. He showed, he's not, he's not, uh.

• 1:09:37Speaker 02

  Sexist comments are not good.

• 1:09:39Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a word that he's missing something.

• 1:09:42Speaker 02

  It, there's a word?

• 1:09:44Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not the it, he has the it, he's missing something, he's missing the.

• 1:09:48Speaker 02

  Common sense?

• 1:09:49Patrick Bet-David?

  No, he's missing.

• 1:09:50Speaker 02

  The non lesbian glasses?

• 1:09:52Patrick Bet-David?

  No, you know what it is, um, he's missing the, the energy you give of people liking you. I just don't think he's likable. No, he, he's.

• 1:10:02Speaker 02

  Likability factor?

• 1:10:03Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what he is, he wants to, he wants to talk to you and make you feel dumb.

• 1:10:12Patrick Bet-David?

  And Ted Cruz does that, he's like the, he's got a little bit of Ted Cruz on the left.

• 1:10:16Speaker 02

  Oh, you're talking about this community?

• 1:10:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, he's, he's a little bit of that community.

• 1:10:19Speaker 02

  He doesn't have the gravitas that he thinks he's a.

• 1:10:21Patrick Bet-David?

  No, but he had.

• 1:10:22Speaker 02

  Gravitas, Vinny, wow.

• 1:10:24Patrick Bet-David?

  He just really thinks he's better than you and smarter than you. And, and you, there's nothing wrong, like, Michael believed that. You know, Elon believes that, Trump definitely believes that. But their way of believing that matches their personality, that it comes across still in a way that's attractive. I, I, I think it's a, it's something he can never do anything about, it's his DNA personality.

• 1:10:49Speaker 02

  He's a pompous arrogant ass.

• 1:10:50Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not attractive.

• 1:10:51Speaker 02

  Can I tell you what it is?

• 1:10:52Patrick Bet-David?

  What's that?

• 1:10:52Speaker 02

  Value attainment. If we were just value, I don't think we would have the same gravitas, Vinny.

• 1:11:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Thank you.

• 1:11:01Speaker 02

  Okay, in the ecosystem right here. There, and you know this as a comedian, and Tom, you're one of the funniest guys ever, we get it. The power of making somebody laugh, the power of communicating somebody like, this guy's pretty cool. You ever see somebody, they're smart, they're on point, they're sharp, but they don't got the vibe, they don't got the charisma? You just don't resonate with them. Making somebody laugh-

• 1:11:23Patrick Bet-David?

  They call it the riz, right?

• 1:11:25Speaker 02

  They call it the riz, baby, you got the riz.

• 1:11:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, man, I've been hanging out with you these- My kids are teaching me all these weird words.

• 1:11:31Speaker 02

  Listen, you know who got the riz?

• 1:11:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Who?

• 1:11:33Speaker 02

  Dilly boy.

• 1:11:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Dilly boy got the riz.

• 1:11:35Speaker 02

  And you know who's developing the riz?

• 1:11:36Patrick Bet-David?

  He is as well.

• 1:11:37Speaker 02

  Tico.

• 1:11:37Patrick Bet-David?

  But he's a dangerous riz.

• 1:11:38Speaker 02

  But you know what I'm saying? Tico didn't have the riz a couple of years ago.

• 1:11:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, listen, I will, I will tell you, the, the, the dynamic of speaking to an audience where all of it is there, where people, a part of it is we're just regular people. A part of it is moral authority, a part of it is humor, a part of it is curiosity, a part of it is certain values and principles that you're not willing to compromise. And the audience says, well, I, I relate to that. Oh, great. You know, we ran the poll. What percentage of you guys think the word deer is offensive? 9% said it's offensive. Nine. Yeah, really, 9% said it's offensive. But you know what's impressive? To the 9%.

  Very clear.

• 1:12:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Dear 9%. By the way, I'm being honest with you guys. Sincerely, the fact that you took time away on a Thursday Thanksgiving morning to be with us still says you support the fact that we're having a conversation. And I love you for it. Sincerely. I got a message, somebody sent me a message, says, you know, I cannot believe that was the shittiest, da-da-da-da-da. I said, listen, don't you love the fact that you can message me on Manact and pay for it? And I have to respond back and it allows you to talk shit to me directly? Don't you, don't you love that, that, that, that exists for you on Manact? He says, yes, we started laughing, having a good time, exchanging this morning, going back and forth. But Vinnie, I think you want to say something.

• 1:13:27Speaker 02

  Yeah, so, a- and this is going into that wedge that you were talking about with Trump and then Elon. And I know this is a story that you have, Pat, the Mark Zuckerberg going to Mar-a-Lago yesterday. I saw something and then I saw a clip where he's talking, Tom, and Elon's like, somebody's like, hey, you think you can fight him? Elon, I have never seen, he's like, I will beat his ass any day, anytime, whenever you want. So I think him going there, and I guess it was, um, who's, is it Jim Miller? Is it the new guy, the bald guy? Stephen Miller is coming in and he's recognizing that Trump is an agent of change and prosperity and that Zuck wants to be a part of it. And so I kind of feel like, how do you think Elon's taking that, where this guy's coming in there to?

• 1:14:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, let's, let's read this. Let's read this. Zuckerberg dines with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, uh, and, uh, marking a notable meeting between a Facebook founder and, uh, former president who had been banned from the platform after January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. A Meta spokesperson confirmed Zuckerberg was invited to discuss the incoming administration with Trump's deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, stating Zuckerberg wants to support the national renewal of Americas under Trump's leadership. Zuckerberg has shifted toward a more passive, positive stance on Trump praising his handling of an assassination attempt as badass earlier this year and accusing Biden administration of pressuring the Facebook to censor, by the way, this is AP News, to censor COVID-19 content. Despite this, Trump recently mocked Zuckerberg on Truth Social,

• 1:14:50Patrick Bet-David?

  warning Zuckerbucks be careful while referencing election fraud claims. Okay, so, this is, this is a couple of things here to be thinking about. On one, and Tom, I'm going to come to you right after this. On one, to me, is Zuck is, we're forgetting that.

• 1:15:09Patrick Bet-David?

  How old was Zach when he started Facebook, Rob?

• 1:15:12Speaker 02

  He was like 21 from college.

• 1:15:14Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so, how old was Zach when he started? I'm actually curious, was he 19 or 20? I'm trying to see the exact, 19 years old, okay.

• 1:15:22Speaker 02

  19, this guy.

• 1:15:23Patrick Bet-David?

  So he was 19 years old when he started Meta.

• 1:15:25Speaker 02

  He just turned 40.

• 1:15:26Patrick Bet-David?

  So, can you, can you Google, who are Zuckerberg's parents? Who are Zuckerberg's parents? Like, what do they do? I'm curious, is there anything about his parents? So Edward Zuckerberg, can you zoom him? Is there anything to find out who he is? Dentist, father, okay, how about his mother? Let's see what his mother, zoom in, psychiatrist. Okay, perfect. And look at that picture right there. Mom, dad, and himself, in the middle, right? That looks like a liberal family, right? Doing all the right things, going to Harvard. Look, it looks like a family, hardworking, but at the same time, academia, you know, you, you gotta go to school, you gotta go to the right school, all that stuff. And, we automatically expect this guy, in his 20s, to already know what's right and what's wrong.

• 1:16:13Patrick Bet-David?

  And then, he happens to become a billionaire, very early. Then, this thing grows, into the biggest community worldwide. How many users does Facebook have, Rob? I think it's like 2.2 billion. I may be off by a few hundred million, but it's, it's a lot of people.

• 1:16:28Speaker 02

  90% of those are grandmas.

• 1:16:29Patrick Bet-David?

  How many, 3 billion users on Facebook, active, monthly users, damn! That's active, okay? 68.85 of the total monthly users log in on their mobile device, monthly. That's a pretty impressive number.

• 1:16:45Speaker 02

  But does that count Instagram, WhatsApp?

• 1:16:47Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, just Facebook. So, then you go look at Instagram, then you go look up, he owns WhatsApp. He owns all these companies. And what is his net worth today, Rob? If you type in his Mark Zuckerberg net worth.

• 1:16:59Speaker 02

  110 billion, I'm given, maybe more than that at this point?

• 1:17:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, 200 billion.

• 1:17:04Speaker 02

  Wow!

• 1:17:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's what I'm saying to you.

• 1:17:05Speaker 02

  But where was it 2 years ago?

• 1:17:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh no, you're right. Yeah, no, no, less than half of that. So, 198 billion dollars.

• 1:17:10Speaker 02

  This guy's crushing.

• 1:17:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, of course he is, he's a top 5 guy right now. So, he's in there, he's like, hey, listen, I understand there's all these other guys. Just so you know, I'm the youngest guy, worth 200 billion dollars in the world. Bezos in his 50s, Musk is in his 50s, Gates is in his 60s, 70s, Buffett's in his 80s. So he's like, guys, I can also change.

• 1:17:34Speaker 02

  Larry's in his 70s.

• 1:17:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Larry's in his 70s. So he starts hanging out with jujitsu guys, UFC guys, you know, he changes. He starts looking at what's going on and he's, by the way, one of the best things happens when, when your parents get a divorce, you learn about both families a lot when you're going through a divorce. Think about when you're the CEO, the owner of the biggest social media site worldwide, and both the left and the right are calling you, asking favors and trying to run campaigns. You know what you'll learn? You'll learn both of them how they approach you. Which one approaches you and trying to negotiate with you? Which one approaches you with threats? You understand what happened right there?

• 1:18:11Speaker 02

  Of course.

• 1:18:12Patrick Bet-David?

  So imagine you are learning, dude, these guys on the left are threatening me. What is this all about? If I don't do this, we're gonna do this. The other side is just trying to convince me.

• 1:18:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:18:21Patrick Bet-David?

  So one is trying to sell me, the other one's trying to threaten me. I'm not part of the threatening community. I, I, I build a freaking, I've, I've done more in my life than any one of you guys has done combined. You 2,000 politicians combined don't have my net worth. What do you think? I brought a lot of value to the world here myself at a young age. So now he's evolving. I think Zuck right now, as much slack as everybody's giving him, I think Zuck at 50 years old, maybe even sooner, Zuck's gonna be a player. And when I tell you he's gonna be a player, I think he's gonna be a player. Unfortunately, right now, he's getting criticized. They show the picture of Elon. And have you seen that picture where Elon and Trump, they're having the lunch, the McDonald burgers on the plane? And then Zuckerberg's outside the window. Have you guys seen that picture or no? Can you find that? Is there a picture with Zuckerberg?

• 1:19:06Patrick Bet-David?

  If you keep looking through them, you'll find it.

• 1:19:09Speaker 02

  He's outside the airplane.

• 1:19:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Outside the window.

• 1:19:11Speaker 02

  He's trying to look in.

• 1:19:12Patrick Bet-David?

  He's trying to look in. It's actually a really, really phenomenal image to show that he's an outsider that wants to be on the inside. Oh, you, you should zoom those in to see if they're in there, the top one? Oh, so you see that window right there?

• 1:19:25Speaker 02

  Yeah, they put his face.

• 1:19:26Patrick Bet-David?

  The meme put Zuckerberg's picture out there like, hey, I'd love to be on the inside. I understand that and and it's gonna hurt a little bit. I get it because Elon Musk went all in and there's a risk when he went all in and he deserves everything he's getting, everything he's getting. But Zuck made the right move when he wrote that letter to Jim Jordan. Zuck made the right move and he called out Biden. Zuck made the right move when he said that was a badass move by the president and Zuck is himself kind of going through the evolution of recreating himself and and I'm okay with that. And by the way, on the flip side, you know what I love about Elon? I also love that Elon is staying paranoid. If Elon and Trump are speaking privately, you know what Elon's probably telling Trump? Hey, don't trust them too early. Let's not trust them too

• 1:20:11Patrick Bet-David?

  early. Let's not trust them too early. Let's not trust them too early. I'm convinced that is taking place. Go ahead, Tom.

• 1:20:18Speaker 02

  Well, I follow the logic and I agree with you on on much of that. But I also think that Zuck is being led at gunpoint and it's guns that he's loaded over the course of Facebook. There are five actions that all are incredibly threatening to Meta in front of the federal government right now. One, the COVID censorship and the censorship of right wing media. Hearings are gonna come up and there's some oversight committees, things that there and down the street, Google is being broken up. Then there's the FCC, Section 230. That is not going away. It's coming back and there will be hearings on that in the spring on Section 230, Pat. And

• 1:21:00Speaker 02

  guess who's gonna be back in front of Congress? Mark Zuckerberg. The FTC on the online ads and the monopoly that Facebook has, they are hearings coming and they've already told last week, Google was called, maybe we'll just spin Chrome off and do something else. It's the largest data gatherer that they have, the Chrome browser, and they're like, holy crap. That's number three. Number four, there are hearings that are gonna go on on young girls and the addiction and hurting themselves and should there be limits on young girls? And there's already state attorney generals that are out there that are putting that. Number four. Number five, data use, when do you collect data and how do you store it? And what and does the user know about that? Hearings are coming up next

• 1:21:44Speaker 02

  summer on that. Those five reasons could take five dinners to talk about and I think Musk, you know, knows it. He understands it. He sees it. But Zuckerberg.

• 1:21:56Speaker 02

  I think Musk knows exactly why Zuckerberg would go in there. Zuckerberg needs to, in addition to that letter of Jim Jordan, he needs to make nice with the new president and his head of the FTC, head of the FTC, FCC, the censorship hearings, the Consumer Protection Agency, and Data Use Protection Group. So, there's a lot of reasons for Zuck at gunpoint to go do this. We will find out as he-

• 1:22:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Can both be true at the same time?

• 1:22:25Speaker 02

  Huh?

• 1:22:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Can both be true at the same time?

• 1:22:26Speaker 02

  Yes, they can be true at the same time, and I'm anxious to see what shows up. Is it true, or is it lobbying because he has to?

• 1:22:35Patrick Bet-David?

  What was, who was Elon Musk at 38 years old, 39 years old, 40 years old? Who was he?

• 1:22:41Speaker 02

  Rocket making-

• 1:22:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Politically, where was he? How did he feel about Trump when he was 38, 39, 40 years old?

• 1:22:47Speaker 02

  He was leaning the opposite way. I think he was, I think he was a, he was a non, he wasn't a militant. He was a liberal, but he wasn't militant about it.

• 1:22:55Patrick Bet-David?

  No, he was never militant.

• 1:22:56Speaker 02

  But was he, but was he active, but was he active in, hold on, was he active in literally taking down a president? Because let's not forget, from the Zucker bucks, from the 200 and god knows how many million, alright? The damage has already been done. I think he's there, in my opinion, he's there to kiss the ring. I mean, let's, let's not forget about all the stories, Tom, you nailed it. All the COVID, all the censorship, all the Hunter Biden, all that stuff. People like me, I want accountability, okay? I've been saying that forever. We deserve it. From the Pelosi's to the, you know, holding down the National Guard, to Russia collusion, all those people that were involved, to Dr. Fauci, the people like that have supported Trump from the beginning, have gotten, lost friends, lost relationships. I've lost opportunities because I was in Hollywood. We want accountability, okay?

• 1:23:39Speaker 02

  Because, I talked to Rob about this when we came in. If Kamala Harris won, do you think that they'd give him any grace? Any grace? Would they stop any of these things? Like, when they're talking about, I know we talked about it, he should, Trump, to be nice, should pardon Hunter Biden and pardon Joe Biden.

• 1:23:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Give who any grace?

• 1:23:56Speaker 02

  Uh, the, the other side.

• 1:23:58Patrick Bet-David?

  You think Kamala would have given Trump grace?

• 1:24:00Speaker 02

  I'm saying-

• 1:24:01Patrick Bet-David?

  They have given Trump grace?

• 1:24:01Speaker 02

  At all, zero. That's what I'm saying. So Pat, what I'm saying is, we deserve, and I don't- I don't want them to, but we want a little bit of, okay, you messed up, there's your penalty. You, Joe, Hunter Biden, he belongs in prison. I know we're gonna get there. That guy belongs in prison and Joe Biden should have been impeached. We want some accountability. Doctor Fa- Mr. Fauci, we want that too. So Zuckerberg, and you're right, Pat, it could, it could kinda go both ways. But if, for what he did, that letter to me is just going, hey, let me just, I'm sorry. They were telling me, the White House was telling me.

• 1:24:34Patrick Bet-David?

  When he wrote the letter, when he wrote the letter. If you remember when we talked about on the podcast, Rob, if you can remember when he wrote the letter, just find the dates. Dear Honorable Chairman Jordan, that's what the letter is, right?

• 1:24:45Speaker 02

  Dear, did he say dear?

• 1:24:46Patrick Bet-David?

  I actually think he said dear, which is, uh, uh, can you go to the letter? Uh, uh, can you, is that the date? Can you just click on the images? Can you go on the images? Uh, uh, let's see how he opens it up.

• 1:24:59Speaker 02

  Did he say dear, Pat? Dear Congressman? Your honorable?

• 1:25:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Chairman Jordan, honorable Jim Jordan, yeah. So, when he wrote this letter, what's the date on it? See if it says a date on this thing.

• 1:25:09Speaker 02

  August 26.

• 1:25:10Patrick Bet-David?

  August 26. August 26, July 13, that is six weeks after Trump got assass- assassination attempted, right? Okay. So,

• 1:25:20Patrick Bet-David?

  when we responded to this, I said, this is Zuck's way of saying he thinks Trump's winning. If you remember how we reacted to this, that was my position that I took, okay? But also at the same time, none of us knew. Let's face it, guys. Uh, on August 26th, everybody here wasn't Trump's winning. Let's not get it twisted.

• 1:25:44Speaker 02

  I wasn't 100%.

• 1:25:44Patrick Bet-David?

  No, everybody here was like, you know, 51, 49, right? Yeah, and, and remember, this was still the honeymoon stages of, when did they announce Kamala? Can you, can you?

• 1:25:56Speaker 02

  July 21st?

• 1:25:57Patrick Bet-David?

  July 21st, is that the date?

• 1:25:59Speaker 02

  Okay, wasn't that, or is that the Biden letter, or is that the Kamala?

• 1:26:01Patrick Bet-David?

  So, let's find out what the exact date, I'm trying to get sequencing down with this. I just wanna know when they announced Biden stepping down? 21st, okay. So July 21st, you got it spot on, okay. So when you look at that, exactly five weeks later, he writes the letter. Five weeks later, on every poll, she is still ahead. And they were like, she's gonna win, she's gonna this, she's gonna that, okay?

• 1:26:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, it was the anti-Biden bounce, she's our girl.

• 1:26:27Patrick Bet-David?

  For sure, okay. So. He wrote that letter. Do you know how risky of a letter that is to write? Let me explain to how risky the letter that is to write. Let's say he writes that letter. There was another one or two attempts on Trump.

• 1:26:42Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:26:43Patrick Bet-David?

  If one succeeds, Kamala wins, what happens to him? For the next four years with the left? Do you know what they do to him on Facebook? Oh, they will destroy him and humiliate him and do everything they can to hurt him. It's better to write that letter after somebody wins because it's safer. The safer time to write the letter is after November 5th. The safer time. Okay? You understand what I'm saying? Okay. The risky time to write it is when? Five weeks after Kamala's announced and America's done with Biden after the debate with Trump,

• 1:27:25Patrick Bet-David?

  which was embarrassing and the assassination attempt to realize that Trump can't, Biden cannot beat Trump. They bring Kamala and Young Fresh, all this stuff, right? He writes this letter. I'm convinced that he is going through the evolution himself. I'm convinced when they wrote that letter, I guarantee you some people in his camp, on his board who are on the left said, "Don't write this letter." Imagine you have a board. You're in, where's he based at? Of Silicon Valley? I don't know where Facebook is. I'm gonna say somewhere in the Cupertino area. What percentage of his board you think are left?

• 1:27:56Speaker 02

  Ninety, ninety-nine percent.

• 1:27:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you type in Meta Board? Type in Meta Board of Directors. Meta Board of Directors.

• 1:28:03Speaker 02

  I'm sorry, I'm gonna say a hundred percent.

• 1:28:04Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm telling you this, so if you zoom in a little bit, okay, let's go through who it is. All right, so.

• 1:28:09Speaker 02

  Well, we know where he's from.

• 1:28:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's see Javier Oliver. Tom, do you know Javier or no? Zoom in a little bit to see what his background is and what he did. Prior to that, he was a product manager at Siemens Mobile, functional. Okay, let's see who the next guy is. Nick, President Global Affairs. President Global Affairs at Meta. What's his background? Prior to this, he was UK Parliament in 2005, European Commission. Five years European Parliament, Liberal Democrat Party in 2007. He became the leader of the Liberal Democrat Party 2007. Deputy Prime Minister in the UK. So, okay, left. Susan Lee. You just saw Susan Lee. That's the lady that Tom was talking about, who was involved in the political stuff. Isn't this the same lady?

• 1:28:48Speaker 02

  Was that Nancy? Was that Nancy or Susan?

• 1:28:50Patrick Bet-David?

  No, that's Lindy Lee. Okay, go back. So.

• 1:28:53Speaker 02

  She might be a cousin.

• 1:28:53Patrick Bet-David?

  So this is, where was she at? Finance and business, planning and treasury. She joined the company, vice president, finance. 2000, she was in the investment bank in Morgan Stanley. Next, the likelihood of 80% of these guys being liberal. Okay, Andrew went to Harvard, Chris Cox. I don't know what his background is, what they're doing. The point is, okay, Stanford, 80% of these guys are probably liberal. So now imagine you're going up there saying, guys, I want to send this letter out. What do you think they're telling him? Are you sure? Tom, what do you think the board is telling Zuck?

• 1:29:28Speaker 02

  Um, so Zuck was trying to find, I just sent you two clips, Rob. And if you could find the one from Wired. So Wired, fair to say, Bible of Silicon Valley. You know, not bombastic. They carefully researched stories, well-respected publication. Facebook had been dealing with the ire of the Democrats for a while. And I do not believe for a second that it was lost on Zuckerberg, that in many ways he was a man without a country. Wired, here's how Facebook actually won Trump the presidency back, back 2016.

• 1:30:10Speaker 02

  People were pissed at him because they were trying to do all the Russian collusion stuff. But people thought Facebook didn't do enough. It actually had helped Trump influence voters through Facebook. And they were pissed off about it. And then, go to the next clip, Rob. This is very interesting. This is the one that was right there. I just, that guy, those guys right there, Politico. Angry Democrats pose rising risk for Facebook. So Zuckerberg has felt the heat from the Dems that felt that he didn't stand in line enough. And so I think his board would have looked at it and say, Mark, you know, the Dems have been upset with us for a while. I don't know if you want to write this letter.

• 1:30:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Exactly. You validate my point even more, Tom, because here's what happens. So Tom, let me explain.

• 1:30:57Speaker 02

  That's what I was doing.

• 1:30:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I know that.

• 1:30:59Speaker 02

  I was giving you facts.

• 1:31:00Patrick Bet-David?

  No, and I love that. But the point I'm trying to make is, I was thinking maybe you were going to take a different angle.

• 1:31:04Speaker 02

  No, no, no.

• 1:31:05Patrick Bet-David?

  My concern is this, Tom, we're in the room, you've been in a room where people disagree with me, and I'm by myself.

• 1:31:09Speaker 02

  Kamala's going to win this thing. She's got to bounce. Why write the letter now?

• 1:31:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Bro, I was in a board meeting, guys. It was like, I'm going against everybody against me. I'm like, what the F are you guys talking about? And it was three hours extended into a longer meeting. Sometimes.

• 1:31:24Speaker 02

  Or the covid policy discussion.

• 1:31:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, it was, that was one of them. Yes, for sure, that was one of them. That was the nastiest one. But for you to know your board, your investors are not going to support you writing that letter and you still write it and you post it? I don't know, man. You gotta applaud that. You gotta applaud that. And for me, I don't know what he's going through, a recreating of himself.

• 1:31:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:31:49Patrick Bet-David?

  And rebuilding of himself. I'm, I'm actually curious to know what he ends up turning into. And by the way, now that common sense community, because to me, it's common sense. It's not Republicans. They want to say Republican. To me, common sense. Puberty blockers are bad under 18. Common sense. You want to do it above 18? Look, I don't agree with it, but go ahead and do what you want to do with it, right? Common sense. LGBTQ being taught too early to school to kids, it's bad. Common sense. Not allowing Tesla to do what they want to do and targeting them in your state and driving business owners out is bad, right? Gas taxing people over and over and over and over again, driving, it's bad, right?

• 1:32:31Patrick Bet-David?

  These are bad. So, common sense. Musk, common sense. Rogan, common sense. Zuck, as you age, more common sense. Trump, common sense. Tulsi, common sense. Bobby, common sense. Vivek, common sense. So this is the part where

• 1:32:51Patrick Bet-David?

  right now, you know, the positioning of what's happening, you now have Google and YouTube over here. You know, I don't know. I, I, I just think this is a, I'm glad Trump's team reached out. Stephen Miller, if he sees this. You guys are strategic moves you're making, very impressive. Zuck, fricking phenomenal for going out there and sitting down. And Musk, please stay paranoid. Because you, you need to hold everybody. Someone in the room needs to be the guy that's going to be like, yeah, I don't know yet. I don't know yet. That's okay. Someone needs to play that flag carrier role. Go ahead and give your thoughts and I'm going to move on to the next story.

• 1:33:30Speaker 02

  I think we just got to give Zuck a little credit for growing and evolving. I mean, you highlighted the fact that he started Facebook out of his dorm when he's 19 years old. He just turned 40. By the way, he's a father of three daughters. He's a girl dad. So for 20 years, this guy's been in the limelight, billionaire. Of course he's going to grow. Of course he's going to evolve. He's been in front of. Everybody his whole life, his whole adult life. So you talked about, you know, how Dylan's got the riz, but Tico's developing the riz, you know, the riz that I would say that you think Zuck had riz when he was 19, 20 years old, he started Facebook because he couldn't meet any girls. That was the whole premise of it. So you see these days, Zuck specifically, you know, now he's doing UFC, he's fighting.

• 1:34:15Speaker 02

  He's saying things like when Trump got shot in the face and he got up, quote unquote, that was one of the most badass things I've ever seen with actually with Emily Chang, Adrian's old flame, I'll tell you about that. But we're, we're at model volleyball in, um, in South Beach this past year, right? You know, model volleyball, you showed up. Who walks by out of nowhere? Mark Zuckerberg, we're like, did Zuck just walk by? Yeah, that was Zuck. What, what is this guy doing in South Beach? He's growing, he's developing, you gotta give him credit for that. By the way, I was right, two years ago, Rob, I don't know if you had this, Facebook stock, when they changed their name to plummet, you remember this PBD? I know you were just a huge fan of the NFT world at that point, and they changed their

• 1:34:58Speaker 02

  name to Meta and everyone's NFTs, it's ever going like that. Facebook stock plummeted down to 92, 93, two years ago. This guy's wealth basically was cut in half.

• 1:35:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I want to go to the next story, Adam.

• 1:35:12Speaker 02

  And now it's 6X, 574.

• 1:35:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's go, we got a few minutes to go into it. We got, we got a few more stories to get into. Okay. All right. So, uh, while we're talking about this, we can go to fired CBS reporter reveals bosses blocked Elon Musk's interview. Okay. This is a New York Post story. Now think about it. Your job is to land big interviews, to bring a lot of eyeballs to the company. So it's like, Vinnie texts me and says, hey, Pat, I, I got an interview with Musk for Unusual Suspects, what do you think we should do? Uh, oh, hell no, we're not, Vinnie says, I got an interview with Hillary Clinton. Vinnie says, I got an interview with Dylan Mulvaney. Okay, I'm gonna be in a, go do it, right? But what does CBS do? A very different thing. Rob, is she explaining in this clip on what happened when she wanted to interview? Go ahead, go ahead and play this clip.

• 1:36:01Speaker 04

  I had conversations with some of the reporters connected to the Twitter files. And I was in my head thinking that there might be an opportunity to tell that story on CBS News. We had a number of topics under discussion. They didn't go as far as we had hoped. But at the end of the day, this opportunity to interview Elon Musk was developing. So I went to the CBS executives and I said, this is the opportunity that we have. He's saying, I want to do it live and on my platform. He's one of the most influential human beings on the planet. And the reaction from the executives was, well, we can't do it live. And I was like, what do you mean, we can't do it live? It's like, well, we don't know what he's going to say.

• 1:36:45Speaker 04

  I was like, well, I'm thinking, isn't that the point of journalism? You don't know what the person's going to say?

• 1:36:52Speaker 04

  Well, you know, we have to, it has to be taped. We have to have the ability to edit it. It has to be on our platform. We have to control the platform. We talked at one point about whether we could do it sort of like a simulcast between the streaming network and maybe X. But everything just got shut down.

• 1:37:09Speaker 04

  It's one of the biggest interviews you could ever have. I felt so ashamed, frankly, that I never went back to Elon Musk and said, listen, they want to do it, but they've set all these conditions on it. I couldn't do that. This is someone whose DNA is free speech. And how do you tell someone who is committed to free speech that your network can only do it taped and only if they edit it? And it can only be on their platform?

• 1:37:39Patrick Bet-David?

  That's it. So you can pause it right there. This, okay, I'll come to you first, Vinnie, before I give my thoughts. Tell me, what do you think with this here?

• 1:37:47Speaker 02

  This is of the few, they're actual journalists and actual, they're not political activists. How great, and you know who she is too. She's the one, I think, that, Rob, tell me if I'm wrong. She warned us of the Black Swan event that should be coming sooner or later. And then, Pat, she gets into the fact that, you know, she has it. There's a clip that I sent you, Rob. She holds up, Pat, she holds up the Hunter Biden content on a little drive in her hand. And she goes, I had this. I had to, I wanted to run with it. And they said, no, because we have to, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that's the problem. And that's when I go back to the accountability, all those people, including Hunter Biden. Can we play this really quick, Pat? Rob, you could go, yeah, this is hard talk. It's not that long, is it?

• 1:39:02Speaker 04

  We eventually broadcast a story about the Hunter Biden laptop after the midterm elections in 2022. We commissioned a forensic review.

• 1:39:10Speaker 02

  And look, she has it. Scumbag boys.

• 1:39:13Speaker 04

  Got a copy of the laptop data.

• 1:39:16Speaker 02

  All of it.

• 1:39:16Speaker 04

  I have it, I have it here still. I went to a lot of effort to get the cleanest copy of the laptop data, the same data that was provided to the FBI because I didn't want to have any professional journalistic risk for CBS News. I wanted this thing to be totally locked down. When we did the story, we did it after the midterms. I argued against that because it was ready before the midterms. And my training is that you should always do the story when it's ready to go. You should not be dictated by the political cycle. Once we got the laptop story on the morning news, I felt that there was so much there that

• 1:39:57Speaker 04

  we could still do. For example, in the text messages, there's unfortunately, the use of the N word, the liberal use of the N word. And I thought this was worthy of a story, but I was told that it was not something that interested.

• 1:40:13Speaker 02

  Hunter saying the N word a bunch of times in emails? And then, and then, and then she was saying that there was emails from Joe Biden on that laptop. So that goes to my point of, I mean, I shout out to, for Catherine for, for being an actual journalist and reporter, but it's the accountability. And I think if we let these things go, they're going to keep doing them over and over and over and over again. That's my, that's, I want, I want somebody to get in trouble for something.

• 1:40:40Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not, it's, you know what it is? It's more than trouble, Vinnie. There's something more painful than being in trouble. You know what it is? Being bankrupt, going out of business.

• 1:40:48Speaker 02

  Yeah, for sure.

• 1:40:48Patrick Bet-David?

  That's what it is. And, and look, whenever you

• 1:40:54Patrick Bet-David?

  We go out to dinner, okay? If my kids waiter comes, you're with us all the time. They have to say, "Thank you, can I please this?"

• 1:41:03Speaker 02

  Every time.

• 1:41:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Every time, right?

• 1:41:06Speaker 02

  And Brooklyn says, "No pop out."

• 1:41:07Patrick Bet-David?

  No pop out, Brooklyn, no time out.

• 1:41:09Speaker 02

  No time out first, yeah.

• 1:41:10Patrick Bet-David?

  But the point is, if, if you're not coming from a respectful, grateful place, and you forget the reason why we have this is because of America and all this stuff, we're gonna have a problem, right? We have to start off with gratitude. The moment you forget that the salary you're getting paid is because of people that are tuning in, and they're walking away because you lost your journalistic integrity, because it's all about pandering to an audience that you don't want to share the other side of the story and give your perspective, and you, you are so-called CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, all of these guys that are going this route?

• 1:41:53Patrick Bet-David?

  This is why, yesterday TMZ did a story, and, and John Shaheidi, who is an absolute stud of a guy, is on TMZ talking about podcasts, what the podcasting game did for 2024 elections. I think TMZ wrote a story yesterday, uh, if, if you go to a story about podcasters with Trump, and i- if you just tell it in Google, it should come up. But they're talking about what's going on with podcasters. And how, you, you type in TMZ podcast Trump, it should come up as a, right there. That's the one right there, Nelk Boys, yeah. So I pitched Trump on podcasters, White House press needs a shakeup. Nelk Boys manager, if you go a little bit lower, that's the guy right there at the top. If you want to give him, he's a stud of a guy, Persian guy. But him and his brother Sam are phenomenal. You obviously know how I feel about Sam, these guys are funny as hell.

• 1:42:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Go a little lower. So he's explaining, he joins TMZ, he's the guy that manages Nelk Boys and many others. I think Theo Von is part of the program as well. Go a little bit lower. He's breaking down, if you can even play him, well, he breaks down the fact that podcasters are changing the game. The interviewers on podcasting, it's the direction it's going to now, right? That's today, Vinny. Go to 27, 28. So the credibility mainstream during 2024 election went where? Here. What happened to podcasters?

• 1:43:11Speaker 02

  Up.

• 1:43:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Went this way. Do you realize if this goes like this now? What do you think is gonna be in 27 like this?

• 1:43:18Speaker 02

  Nope.

• 1:43:19Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it could go like this.

• 1:43:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, and they're gone.

• 1:43:21Patrick Bet-David?

  And if it goes like this, go ahead, Kamala, Newsom, Josh, whoever, go run your campaign and go through the safe podcast. Go ahead, do that and see what happens. Go ahead. Don't go talk to all these other guys. See how you do. Go ahead and see how you do. And the other guys, Vivek, everybody, I don't care. Your name is Pacman, I'll come to you.

• 1:43:40Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:43:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Your name is Jank, I'll come to you. Your name is Joe, I'll come to you. I mean, he's not done joining yet, although I think Vivek should go on Joe. And that'd be a very good podcast. I'd like to see that happen with Vivek being on Joe Rogan. I think it'd be phenomenal. I think Joe liked the podcast with Mark and Reese, and I think Joe and Vivek would be explosive. That'd be a great podcast to do, and it'd be interesting if it's... Anyways, but the point is 2027, 2028, it's game changer. So what are these guys gonna do? They have to change, or else you're done. You don't have a choice if you don't change. You're gone if you don't change. The market's not gonna, not gonna forgive you for you not making an adjustment. That's worse than, hey, you know, they gotta be held accountable. Market's gonna hold them accountable. Tom?

• 1:44:23Speaker 02

  So imagine a person that has a back injury. And you know you gotta go in for the surgery, but you don't want everything the surgery entails. You're gonna lose mobility in your back, they're gonna fuse a couple vertebrae, but they tell you that's what you need to do. And you're gonna be different going forward with mobility and your ability to work out, but that's what you have to do. But instead, you go home and you ice it, you put on icy hot patches, you limit your workouts, and you start taking OxyContin. Pretty soon, you're addicted to OxyContin, right? It's a legal painkiller. And you go to one doctor that says, hey, Vinnie, I've given you two prescriptions in a row. You really gotta be careful with this. I only gave it to you because I thought you were, to give you pain relief, so that then you could get to your surgery.

• 1:45:07Speaker 02

  But if you tell me you're not doing your surgery, I can't give you more prescriptions because I'm gonna make you into an addict.

• 1:45:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Vinnie doesn't take oxy.

• 1:45:13Speaker 02

  Now, hang on, watch, watch.

• 1:45:15Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't want the audience to sound like a counter-

• 1:45:17Speaker 02

  No, Vixy doesn't, he does not.

• 1:45:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Vinnie doesn't take oxy, but go ahead.

• 1:45:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, those little blue triangles that are not oxy, definitely.

• 1:45:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Blue magic, but go ahead.

• 1:45:25Speaker 02

  Yeah. So why, what am I saying? Now, watch this. Right now-

• 1:45:31Speaker 02

  Cable as a technology is drifting down. Yes. Older people using cable, so they already have problems with audience just on access technology. They have problems. And they have problems on message. People don't want what they're serving, right? So what does CNN do? Oxycontin. It's called, "Everybody gets a 50% pay cut. Everybody gets a 50% pay cut. The viewership is down, we got problems with cable, everybody gets a pay cut." That's oxycontin. See MSNBC, "Hey Rachel, we need to, um, to, yeah, I understand, I'll take a $5 million pay cut." But she did, last week. From 30 to 25. I don't know if it was exactly last week, but the news leaked and then it was confirmed by everybody.

• 1:46:14Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know if it's a pay cut, because she went back down to just doing it once a week.

• 1:46:17Speaker 02

  Exactly.

• 1:46:18Patrick Bet-David?

  They're overpaying her.

• 1:46:19Speaker 02

  25 million dollars.

• 1:46:21Patrick Bet-David?

  What, what business does that?

• 1:46:23Speaker 02

  Let me get to it. It's all oxycontin. They're trying to save money, but they're not going in for the back surgery that's gonna change them. They're not going in to change. They're not saying, "This takes surgery, we have to do this, we need a more moderated approach at CNN." They're just giving everybody a pay cut and hoping that the cable shift doesn't happen, but they're not changing a damn thing.

• 1:46:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you indirectly telling Vinny and I that we should go for the back surgery?

• 1:46:51Speaker 02

  Is that what you're saying? Because you know we both have that problem.

• 1:46:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Because if you're saying that, Tom, I mean, it's like, a little bit like, public information, I don't want the...

• 1:46:56Speaker 02

  I'm saying that the liberal think tank and the bubble that is liberal thought in this country, and the mainstream media cannot look in the mirror and say, "You know what? We effed up." And guess what, guys? We need more mainstream coverage, we need more voices. I'm not putting those bastards on this network! That's what they're thinking!

• 1:47:16Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm telling you...

• 1:47:17Speaker 02

  And they're dying!

• 1:47:18Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm telling you, Vinny, I'm telling you, Vinny, the market never lies. You can't fool the market for too long. Look, when we started like this, this game that we're in right now with what we're doing, right? When yesterday guy comes in, we're talking about potentially doing something with soccer locally. And for a lot of a lot of people have interest kids soccer. Hey, Pat, can we start a school and academy? You know, we want some, some of our kids to come and spend time with you guys. I want to, we're gonna maybe do something first test. For a parent or their parents to come with us with their child and spend a day and a half with us like imagine. Spouse, parent has to be there and he can bring your child with you. You have to be present together because we're gonna talk to the parents and we're gonna talk to the kids. You know.

• 1:48:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Who knows what we do down there? This is one of the biggest things that people are asking about parents and kids to get involved and come to our new campus. You're in a meeting yesterday, right? When we're doing this late at night last night. And I said to these guys, what if very smart guys, what if we do this and what if we do that? And what if we build this? I said, listen, here's how this thing works. I said, what you're telling me is an academy here. That's step number eight. What is step number one? Test to see if there's a market for it.

• 1:48:28Patrick Bet-David?

  PBD podcast. Okay, we started. At first, what was it? What's it called? Unusual suspects at first? It was called unusual suspects because we own the domain unusual suspects.com.

• 1:48:38Speaker 02

  We did 10 episodes called the unusual suspects.

• 1:48:40Patrick Bet-David?

  And then we switched to PBD show and PBD.

• 1:48:43Speaker 02

  Podcast.

• 1:48:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Something, something. And then we went PBD show. I don't know.

• 1:48:46Speaker 02

  It was like.

• 1:48:48Patrick Bet-David?

  We changed the name like five times. I don't know what it was. You may be expecting.

• 1:48:53Speaker 02

  Twenty in Dallas.

• 1:48:54Patrick Bet-David?

  So anyways, eventually the unusual suspects. Yeah. So, and by the way, we've had such interesting moments. But going back to it, I said, I don't know if this is gonna do anything. I have no idea what it's gonna do, right? And then you see the, you see the, the, the picture, the image, Rob, if you have that, that says the episode.

• 1:49:13Speaker 02

  Episode 30 was. Look at, look at Adam. Adam, you look like you voted for Hillary and Joe Biden right there. Look at that photo, Pat. You look like you voted for everybody right there.

• 1:49:24Patrick Bet-David?

  So you look at this. You look at this and all of a sudden we're like, let's see what this does. At that point, by 10 minutes, all they got a few million subscribers, 3 million subscribers. But I want to talk politics, but it's risky. So we tested it. What does the market say four years later? We love it. We want it. Market says, we love it. Okay, we love it. By the way, that's Batman on the back and the old Norway guy Kai was a great book recommender. So anyways. Tom, this is your first appearance back 45. We do this and then we test. What does the market say? We want more and it grows. Okay.

• 1:50:02Patrick Bet-David?

  But let me tell you, you can also put up a video and put up an episode that you're ecstatic about. And you're like, this thing's gonna blow up. And the market says, nah, this sucked. We don't like it, right? Because sometime when you have victory after victory after victory, you're like, oh my God, we're this. And then you feel like you walk on water and the market's gonna be like.

• 1:50:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, relax. Go back to creating good content. You got a little bit lazy, right? That's what happened to CBS, ABC, NBC, and all these other guys. This is a permanent thing. Market never lies. And it's a publicly humiliating loss that they're going through. If they don't adjust, this continues. Let me go to a story because Adam had a lot of insight on this next story from personal experience that he wants to share with everybody else here. So ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt warns the perfect AI girlfriends could worsen loneliness for young men. Oh, no. Rob, if you got this clip, I think it's very important. Play this clip and then Adam, I'm gonna come to you. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:51:04Speaker 06

  There's lots of evidence that there's now a problem with young men. In many cases, the path to success for young men has been, shall we say, been made more difficult because they're not as educated as the women are now. Remember, there are more women in college than men. And many of the traditional paths are no longer as available. And so they turn to the online world for enjoyment and sustenance. But also because of the social media algorithms, they find like-minded people who ultimately radicalize them. Either in a horrific way like terrorism or in the kind of way that you're describing where they're just maladjusted. This isn't a good.

• 1:51:45Speaker 02

  Example of an unexpected problem of existing technology. So now imagine that the AI girlfriend or boyfriend of the huge AI girlfriend as an example is perfect. Perfect visually, perfect emotionally. And the AI girlfriend in this case captures your mind as a man to the point where she or whatever it is, takes over the way you're thinking. You're obsessed with her. That kind of obsession is possible, especially for people who are not fully formed. Parents are going to have to be more more involved for all the obvious reasons. But at the end of the day, parents can only control what their sons and daughters are doing within reason. We've ended up, again, using teenagers as an example.

• 1:52:30Speaker 02

  We have all sorts of rules about age of maturity, 16, 18, what have you, 21 in some cases. And yet you put a 12 or 13 year old in front of one of these things. And they have access to every evil as well as every good in the world and they're not ready to take it. So I think the general question of are you mature enough to handle it? Sort of the general version of your AI girlfriend example is unresolved.

• 1:52:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam.

• 1:52:56Speaker 02

  I mean, this is going to be the conversation of our times of what the hell is going on with young men? You know, there's a famous phrase out there in the man of spirits. Chase excellence or pursue excellence, not women.

• 1:53:08Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm sorry to interrupt you. Let me just set you, I'm going to come back to you because this is the part that he didn't say that I want to read. Which makes the story deeper and then I want to get your commentary on it. So Schmidt referenced growing risks. Citing a Florida lawsuit where 14 year old boy Sewell Setzer III committed suicide after an AI chatbot girlfriend sent obsessive messages and told them to come home. Schmidt stressed teenagers are not ready to handle complex AI powered technology. Adding that younger users are exposed to every evil as well as every good in the world. Go ahead.

• 1:53:39Speaker 02

  Yeah, I didn't even hear about that part. So that makes it this story even more

• 1:53:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Tough.

• 1:53:43Speaker 02

  Tougher to digest. The, you know, as I was saying, there's a famous phrase out there that's young men should chase excellence or pursue excellence. Not women, because as a man, it takes time to become that dude. We've had these conversations before. Now, what I would tell a young man who's obsessed with a real girl. Like, oh, my God, this guy, I'd be like, dude, relax. It's not your time. Now, young men are becoming obsessed with women that don't even exist. These are AI completely made believe chatbots. And this young man took his own life.

• 1:54:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:54:16Speaker 02

  Because of it, because of, because of the comments.

• 1:54:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes, obsessive comment by an AI girlfriend.

• 1:54:22Speaker 02

  They don't even exist.

• 1:54:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:54:24Speaker 02

  So, look, I've worked in the nightlife world before, you know. If a, if a group of 21 year old girls show up, 24 year old girls show up. Let them in, let's go, all good, no problem. If a group of 21 year old boys show up, they better be buying a table. Or know somebody in the inside, or they're getting turned away. Nobody wants them here. They're kryptonite to a club. So that feeling, I remember the feeling that I went with my boys, my college buddies. What's up, man? We're gonna go out in South Beach. We have no money, we're in college. We show up, the door guy, French dude, douchebag, he's like, eh, what do you want here? I was like, yeah, we're gonna go in, they're like, eh, who you with? I was like, yeah, just my friends. Eh, you buying a table, $2,000? I'm like, nah, we got no money. He's like, get the fuck out of here.

• 1:55:09Speaker 02

  That's how young men are made to feel. But now you show up, you're 40 years old, they're like, oh, right this way. Come on in, or you're with your friends, you're with your crew, because you're a man of status, you've established.

• 1:55:19Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the point with this?

• 1:55:20Speaker 02

  So the point is this, young men are gonna take time to become the person that they need to become. When you're 16, 18, and you're obsessed with trying to get women. You're thinking, oh my God, it's the end of the world. Mary doesn't like me. Your time is gonna come, but it's gonna take five, 10, 15 years. Even Mark Zuckerberg right now is 40 years old, finally developing riz. That's what it comes down to. But, you know, this guy, this conversation, Eric Schmidt knows a little bit about what's going on in the online world. He was the CEO of Google. The conversation he had with Scott, Scott Gallagher.

• 1:55:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Was.

• 1:55:50Speaker 02

  Exactly, former. Social media has ruined dating for young men. Dating apps ruined dating for young men. Because they have no credibility, they have no social score, they have no status. Then they also hear things, juxtapose things like, the future is female. Who runs the world? Girls, all this types of thing. Oh, if you're masculine, you have toxic masculinity. All these things are being thrown in young men's faces. And then on top of that. Forty years ago, it was 60% of men went to college, 40% women. These days, it's the exact opposite. So, everything is being, the patriarchy, men, toxic masculinity. It's not okay to be a man. What I would suggest is this, young men need to play the long game. And they need to understand that it's gonna take time.

• 1:56:32Speaker 02

  Last thing, if you're a parent out there, get your nerdy ass kid off the video games. They need to get out there and interact with the real world, or this, unfortunately, this story is gonna become a little bit more pervasive.

• 1:56:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, I'm gonna come to you as a parent.

• 1:56:48Speaker 02

  Well, as a parent.

• 1:56:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Because I got boys and girls, you got girls. As a parent, how do you process this?

• 1:56:52Speaker 02

  Well, first of all, I was waiting for Eric Schmidt to say, "As happens on Facebook." He didn't add that, and because he's former CEO of Google, from down the street, he could have thrown some shade right there with those three little words, "As on Facebook." And so, I get to that as a parent. You have to pull your kids back from the digital fake into the physical real. And the physical real is talking eye to eye, looking people in the eye, talking to people in your study group. I talked to Bailey about this, and I've talked to Brooke about this. It's like, hey, all the social media online is fake affirmation.

• 1:57:36Speaker 02

  It's fake, it's not real. Your real engagement is with your teammates on your swim team, your teammates on your golf team, teammates working on yearbook. And you're gonna find people that have things going on, you'll be able to look them in the eye, and you'll be able to engage with them. And I have been putting digital guardrails around my daughters for a long time. And I think now, they see it playing out, because they see friends at school where it is on the other edge. And as a parent, if you're not involved and you're not focused, you're in trouble. And you know where it starts, parents? It starts with your patience, because you're losing patience and you're stressed because your kid's crying and doing the things at five years old.

• 1:58:20Speaker 02

  So, you give them a mini game to play. You're giving them a pacifier. And maybe they do need a little distraction there, but you better manage it because that big pacifier when they're 12, 13 years old is social media and it's toxic and deadly.

• 1:58:34Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, if I can advise anybody that's watching this here, one of the things that I think a lot of time when people think about Tom, they think about, oh, how can I raise money? How can I business, business, business, business, all this, a biz doc, biz doc, biz doc. Why don't you and your wife, manek Tom and ask questions about parenting? This is one of the conversations we have all the time. We, Tom and I and our family, we made certain new decisions a few months ago. I would say six months ago collectively together.

• 1:59:03Speaker 02

  We read a book. We're open to ideas that are good.

• 1:59:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, we are on the same wavelength when it comes down to raising kids, where if Tom takes my, Tico or Dylan or whatever, they go together for three, four days, I'm not even thinking about what they're doing. They're in good hands, right? Because I know our values and principles are the same. I had this girl here the other day, Leila Micklewait. Rob, did I say her name correctly?

• 1:59:24Speaker 02

  Correct.

• 1:59:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Phenomenal. I had such a good time talking to her. She's the one that got the 2.33 million signatures to petition to shut down Pornhub.com.

• 1:59:33Speaker 02

  Oh, wow.

• 1:59:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Because of the amount of porn that they had underage, under, you know, out of 56 million videos that had on Pornhub.com, a story that came up, that's her by the way, Leila Micklewait, phenomenal lady. And if you can pull up that New York Times story, the other New York Times story that we talked about, by the way, very, very weird New York Times story, a child of Pornhub, this is, this is the child, the children of Pornhub, telling stories of how these kids end up in Pornhub. One mother, Rob, do you have the intro for the interview tomorrow? Maybe we can't even show the intro. You have the intro. They send it to you. It's on our text.

• 2:00:10Speaker 02

  Yep, I got it.

• 2:00:11Patrick Bet-David?

  If you can pull it up. The intro, Vinny, is disturbing. One of the top things that we discussed, her and I together, is the fear.

• 2:00:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Parents have to have serious conversations with their kids. And I brought up a couple of things with her. One of the things is, you know, about a year ago, I don't know if you guys remember, we talked about this, maybe we talked about one of my, one of my kids was a little bit drifting. And I had a conversation with him one morning and I pulled him aside, maybe you'll remember this. I don't want to name kids, so don't drop any names and all this other stuff. I'm just saying, one of my kids. And I said, hey, I'm getting the feeling you're drifting a little bit. And we sat down and we had a one hour meeting together. And by the way, when you want to have serious conversations with your kids, if you're intentional, they're going to give you a hundred percent attention. This guy's looking at me. Fully. And

• 2:01:00Speaker 02

  What does drifting mean?

• 2:01:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Humberto, if you can send a video to Rob, it's not going to be here, Rob. It's in a text. We have it. It's an intro that was sent to prove. Humberto can send it to you. So I said, you're drifting. He says, what's drifting? So I said, let me show you this clip from the book, uh, uh, uh, what is the book? What is the book, uh, uh? That, uh, what is the book drifting book by that lady? Um, oh my God, what is this book called? First time I read this book, I couldn't put it down. Um, book on drifting. It's a book that's linked to Napoleon Hill, who wrote it many, many years ago. And she explains this book, somebody, can you please just text me if you're watching this? I know somebody's watching the same path. How did you forget this book? Do you know what book it is?

• 2:01:44Patrick Bet-David?

  I tell him, I want you, Outwitting the Devil. That's the one. Outwitting the Devil. And I had him read this book and I had him read an excerpt from this book. Okay. And in the book, it explains, you want to destroy your life? You have to be aware when you're drifting. And what is drifting? Drifting is just like when your life, you're just kind of like drifting.

• 2:02:01Speaker 02

  Like a car going off the road.

• 2:02:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:02:02Speaker 02

  Slowly.

• 2:02:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Boom, you die, right? So I said, I'm getting the feeling life is just regular for you. And you're not investing in yourself in certain things that you need to be. You know what's one of the things that really changes? I think, you know how you go up to me, you're like, hey, something's happened with you?

• 2:02:17Speaker 02

  Mm hmm.

• 2:02:18Patrick Bet-David?

  We put him in kickboxing. And he goes five days a week. He'd go every day if the trainers were available for him. Let me tell you what's happened to this kid's confidence. When you have boys, folks,

• 2:02:34Patrick Bet-David?

  you have to find a way to develop their confidence in a different way than girls. My opinion, it's a different way of developing confidence with boys than girls. Both of them are gonna be needed. And if you choose to have more than one kid, you have to still find a way to build up their identities. They all deserve the identity to be built, even when you're like, sometimes you don't have time or whatever that's going on. You have to find a way to do it. Find a way to get your kids to be involved in something that they're improving in that gives them confidence. You gotta find a way to do that. You know, when you're all of a sudden being complimented for the work that you're doing? It's a confidence booster. The other day, we publicly promoted Rob. We think Rob's done such a phenomenal job here that we publicly promoted him. And by the way,

• 2:03:16Patrick Bet-David?

  uh, uh, Rob is, is a guy that, you know, is a behind the uh, screen guy sometimes, but unusual, he's not. Rob's a talent. Rob's a comedian. Rob's phenomenal at what he does as well. And we love Rob. And we publicly recognize Rob and for the last, Rob, three and a half years, when, when, when I'm giving you feedback, I'm like, hey, something's happened with you. You're developing yourself. You're recreating yourself and it's highlighting because it's very different than when it was three and a half years ago. You were like, I don't know what's going on here. You, you, you're a different human being today than you were three and a half years ago. And the more I learn about this guy, the more I love this guy. I like what he's doing to improve himself as a father, as a husband, as a man. You should see how he's with his kids. Mom sees like he's on a call and boom, let me step, I gotta do this. Hey, with his wife, it's okay. We're gonna do this.

• 2:04:01Patrick Bet-David?

  This is good. Like, these are things that it matters. Stuff that matters in life. Kids matter. Family matters. Friends matter. Like you pour into it a little bit. Well, we gotta pay attention, but sometimes we as parents are drifting. I got my promotion. I got my, I got my, dude, pump the brakes. Go have a conversation with your kid. Walk with them for an hour. How you doing? What's happening? Let me tell you what I'm thinking about you. Here's how I envision you being one day, kid. I think one day you can be dot, dot, really daddy, really mommy? Yes. But I also think I'm noticing some things you're not paying attention to. You eat too much sweets. You're sleeping too much. You're not exercising. You're not moving your body. You're addicted to video games. How about we get addicted to your dreams? How about you have these types of conversations with them? This is the clip with Leila Mickleweight.

• 2:04:45Patrick Bet-David?

  This comes out tomorrow, by the way. It's a disturbance. Vinny, just watch it. You'll feel how disturbing it is in the first 20 seconds.

• 2:04:51Speaker 02

  Okay, and you said, you said out of 58 million viewers, what?

• 2:04:54Patrick Bet-David?

  56 million videos that was on Pornhub. 91% of it they took down.

• 2:04:59Speaker 02

  What?

• 2:05:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Because of that New York Times article and because of this lady that got the 2.3 million petitions.

• 2:05:04Speaker 02

  Oh, wow.

• 2:05:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch this clip right here. Go ahead.

• 2:05:06Speaker 00

  From Broward County, Florida, she was missing for an entire year and she was finally found when her distraught mother was tipped off by a Pornhub user that he recognized her daughter on the site. She was found in 58 videos on Pornhub. So this is emails from the CEO. Can we tell Mastercard that it just slipped through the cracks? They want to know what we do.

• 2:05:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, they're communicating amongst each other as employees.

• 2:05:28Speaker 00

  They're saying, what should we do? She couldn't be older than 13 or 14 and the video was obvious. And they left it up.

• 2:05:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Under new ownership or old ownership?

• 2:05:35Speaker 00

  That was, this was the old ownership, but old ownership is the same VPs and executives that are there today, right? But there's not enforcement.

• 2:05:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Why are they not being held accountable?

• 2:05:43Speaker 00

  There's not enforcement.

• 2:05:44Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't get that, though. Who wouldn't enforce that law? It's kids.

• 2:05:47Speaker 00

  I want to address something that Solomon and his partner said on this show. I mean, you could play what he actually said. It's a, it's a complete lie. They exploit and they harvest the data of every single user that visits their site. They're currently being sued in a class action and I think we will see full criminal prosecution of the owners of Pornhub and I hope that we do.

• 2:06:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so this goes out tomorrow.

• 2:06:11Speaker 02

  Wow.

• 2:06:11Patrick Bet-David?

  You know how many kids have been missing according to FBI? You know how many children are missing in America according to FBI?

• 2:06:18Speaker 02

  Overall.

• 2:06:19Patrick Bet-David?

  First of all, 2022 records, Rob. Don't look at the screen, just look at me.

• 2:06:22Speaker 02

  2022.

• 2:06:22Patrick Bet-David?

  How many children you think are missing, Tom? Everybody, think number and then tell me. Children missing, that are still missing.

• 2:06:30Speaker 02

  And the United?

• 2:06:31Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not a big number that you think it's a big number.

• 2:06:33Speaker 02

  250,000.

• 2:06:34Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think the number is?

• 2:06:35Speaker 02

  That's an insane number. 10,000 kids.

• 2:06:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, Tom, what do you think the number is?

• 2:06:39Speaker 02

  I thought it was...

• 2:06:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Thirty thousand. Rob, can you pull up the, you're about to be shot. There's three hundred and fifty nine missing. Wow, missing. Three hundred and fifty nine thousand ninety four missing, every one of them counts. Reported to the National Crime and Formation Center. Reported too. Twenty two thousand, by the way, you said twenty thousand, that's twenty two thousand more than it was in twenty twenty one. Bro, like, how, what are we not, think about these parents that are missing. I mean, this is serious stuff here that we're talking about. So for me, parents, we need to be a little bit more involved. You got a nephew, you got a niece, you gotta develop some of their identities to make sure you're having these tough conversations with them when

• 2:07:19Patrick Bet-David?

  it's necessary. But for me, when Eric Schmidt is telling this story, as much as we have fun here, guys, and we joke around, we do certain, you know, at the core of what we're doing, there's values and principles that matter that you gotta stand up for. These are the, some of these conversations that we're having right now, because I think sometimes parents, we all need a nudge, all of us do, to just kind of be reminded of this. Maybe use today on Thanksgiving to have a conversation with them. Maybe this is a great opportunity today. Maybe today, tomorrow, if you're not working, pull them aside, go for a walk with them, do it individually with each one of them. And take them for somewhere and sit down and say, I want to talk to you, son. I want to talk to you, baby. What's going on, pops? What's this? It's gonna be a little bit weird if it's not regularly happening.

• 2:07:59Patrick Bet-David?

  And before you do, make a few notes of what your outcome of this meeting with them is. It's gonna be different for your daughter than your son, than your oldest, than your youngest, but the fact that you have their conversation with them one on one and give them that one on one attention, I can't tell you what it does to them. You remember when your parents did it to you. We remember when they did it that one time. I was six, seven years old. My mom would tell me, you're gonna be an incredible engineer one day. Engineer? Engineer? You're gonna be, who the hell, like, I'm seven years old, I'm remembering that. Have that conversation with them. My dad would say, son, the reason why you're gonna be a leader one day is because you're not afraid of the truth. One time my dad and I went to this, uh,

• 2:08:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, uh, what do you call it, spawn Iran that they had pool and all this other stuff that we would go there and they would make this drink Persian drink that I freaking love. Duh. It's not duh, it's like water with these, uh, uh, my dad knows what it is, this fruit stuff that they put in, it's just incredible with lemon and all this stuff, I love it. And we'd go there and a guy says, uh, uh, how old is your son? And my dad says, ah, they're friends, he says, my, my son is 14 years old. I said, I'm not 14 years old, my dad's lying to you, I'm eight years old. And he says, really? Says, yeah, cuz this place is 12 and up. He says, well, listen, since you're father, I like the fact that you're honest, come in. And he let me in, he says, the reason why you're gonna be a leader one day is you're not afraid of the truth. You'll tell the truth, get in trouble sometime, but you'll tell the truth. That stays with you at eight years old. Yeah.

• 2:09:23Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm 46, that's 38 years ago. We can do that for our kids, folks. You and I can do that for our kids. Use today as the opportunity this weekend to have that conversation and do me a favor, share it with me, I wanna hear about it. You have no idea how much I love hearing stories like this. And when you have that conversation, can get ahold of us on, on, uh, Menech or tweet and do whatever you want, but on Menech, we'll be able to respond back to these stories. Alright, let's do one or two stories before we wrap up and finish this up. Can we, can we have some fun? Is that okay if we have a little bit of fun? Are you guys okay if we have a little bit of fun? By the way, we got 42,000 crazy still, still here with us after 11 o'clock. You're still here with us, you guys are amazing. So, why don't we have some fun? Okay.

• 2:10:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Every once in a while, I think it's fun to, you know, get some people, maybe get a little bit of a reaction and see what happens. You know the girl earlier, her name is Abby Phillips, who doesn't want the phrase dear? How about we all collectively tweet at her? And we say, dear Abby Phillips, Rob, if you can put the handle below in the chat. I want you to tweet at her and I want thousands of us to do it. Oh, man. Tweet at her, dear Abby Phillips, Phillip, and then say, happy Thanksgiving, God bless, hashtag at the bottom, PBD Podcast. Okay? They're gonna freak out and this may even prompt these guys to react and say, I cannot believe you guys are disgusting or whatever.

• 2:10:47Patrick Bet-David?

  All we wanna say is, dear Abby Phillips, listen, happy Thanksgiving, Gabby.

• 2:10:53Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, congrats on being a CNN Newsnight host 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. You may even take this as a promotional, like, well, help me, we're promoting you.

• 2:11:03Speaker 02

  So, Dear Abby what that?

• 2:11:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Dear her handle, Abby Phillips, which you founded, it's on Twitter.

• 2:11:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:11:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Abby, Abby Phillips, and just say, Happy Thanksgiving, God bless, maybe put a couple turkeys in there.

• 2:11:13Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 2:11:14Patrick Bet-David?

  And then at the bottom, hashtag PBD Podcast. Let's see if in the next three minutes, five minutes, we can get this thing trending.

• 2:11:22Speaker 02

  PBD.

• 2:11:23Patrick Bet-David?

  For her to get some love, and as she's enjoying herself today, maybe she's getting a bunch of love. Again, Dear Abby, from us at PBD Podcast to you, we love watching your co-host or guest that's on with you, Scott Jennings, he's a superstar, and we're proud of his fight and the great work that he's doing. And Scott is probably the number one reason why we've been tuned on to you, turned on to you, because he does such a phenomenal job, and the common sense Americans love watching Scott Jennings. We think he's a superstar, and CNN, I hope you realize, if you don't pay Scott Jennings what he's really worth,

• 2:12:08Patrick Bet-David?

  the market all over the place would be more than happy to pay Scott Jennings what he's really worth. And Abby, that's a shout out from us to you. That's this much time I'm gonna give to you guys, but I wanted to make sure you got proper love. Dear Abby Phillips, Philip, Happy Thanksgiving, God bless, hashtag PBD Podcast. All right, let's go to a couple of the stories while we're doing this, let's see what happens next three minutes. We'll report back. We're just having some fun here, folks, we just wanted to wish people Happy Thanksgiving.

• 2:12:34Speaker 02

  There's nothing wrong with that.

• 2:12:35Patrick Bet-David?

  There's nothing wrong with wishing, you know, it's a lot of good stuff that we're doing here, contributing positively to society. All right, so let's go to this next story. Baker Mayfield, little bit weird, football player, having a decent season, right?

• 2:12:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 2:12:48Patrick Bet-David?

  He's at Tampa, if I'm not mistaken, I think he's eight and three, or maybe like seven and a half.

• 2:12:52Speaker 02

  No, no, no, no, no, I think they're basically 500.

• 2:12:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Are they, can you pull up what their record is? He started off having a decent season.

• 2:12:57Speaker 02

  They were doing all right, he's having a great season, they're maybe 500.

• 2:13:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Is it, are they 500?

• 2:13:01Speaker 02

  I'm gonna say five and five.

• 2:13:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Maybe you're right, maybe they are 500, I thought they were doing better than 500.

• 2:13:05Speaker 02

  They kicked the Giants' butt, so.

• 2:13:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Five and six. Oh shoot, okay, so they're five and six. All right, let me read this to you. My apologies, Baker. I was trying to give you a shout out because I actually would like to see you have a decent season here. So Baker Mayfield sues own father claiming he stole 12 million dollars. This is the quarterback of Tampa Bay filing lawsuit against James Mayfield alleging James company, Canwood Capital, transferred 12 million dollars from Mayfield and his wife without authorization from 2018 to 2021. Claims a settlement reached in January requiring his father to repay nearly the full amount has been breached with not even one dollar repaid and no response to inquiries. The lawsuit filed in US District Court in Texas stated defendants had no intention of making plaintiff

• 2:13:49Patrick Bet-David?

  whole and have refused even to respond to plaintiff outreaches about those breaches. The first payment of 250,000 dollars was due on September 30th but was never received. Mayfield accuses his father's company of obscuring information, avoiding inquiries, and providing fictional explanation. Adam, what's going on with the story here?

• 2:14:10Speaker 02

  I mean, what a horrible situation to have your father take advantage of you for how much? 12 million dollars in three years. For those of you that don't know the story of Baker Mayfield, and by the way, I'm walking out in streets these days, they go, hey, are you Baker Mayfield? I get it all the time. Like, you look like you. I get it all the time. Baker Mayfield. So, respect to you, Baker. Here's a guy, grows up in Texas, goes to high school, and I think he plays football at a school called Lake Travis in Austin, Texas. Doesn't get a scholarship, walks onto Texas Techs, makes the team, says, you know what? I'm not, there he is right there. I don't know if you can see a better picture. Makes the team, says, yeah, I don't really like it right here, transfers over to Oklahoma,

• 2:14:53Speaker 02

  spends a few years there, boom, few years later, wins the Heisman. Best player in the country, boom, Oklahoma. NFL draft comes around, he doesn't get drafted first round, he doesn't get drafted top 10. Browns. Number one overall pick, my doppel gang over here, Baker Mayfield, boom, goes to the Cleveland Browns. Sorryest team in the NFL, rookie year breaks the NFL touchdown record, throws the most amount of touchdowns for a rookie in his first season, takes the dog pound Cleveland Browns to the playoffs for the first time in what felt like 100 years. Everyone's loving Baker, everyone's loving what he's doing in Cleveland.

• 2:15:33Speaker 02

  There he is, my little twin brother right there. Basically, that's in 2018, ends their playoff drought. A couple of years going in and out of the league, basically says Cleveland in it for me, ends up in Carolina, one of the worst franchises these days, spends a half a season with the Rams, boom, next thing you know, Tom Brady retires, they end up picking him up, he ends up doing a great job, ends up signing a $50 million a year contract, I believe, no, sorry, 50 million is what he's already earned, he signs a three, three year, $115 million contract. So here's this dude going around the league, this is a message here. You start off, not even a scholarship, walk on, few years later, you're winning the Heisman, number

• 2:16:15Speaker 02

  one overall pick, you're basically taking Tom Brady's job, and now you're a top 10 quarterback in the league. During all this, you're gonna have your fans, you're gonna have your haters, behind the scenes, your dad is just embezzling millions What a point. of dollars from you. You're going, like, if you're an NFL quarterback, by the way, there's no other position in all of sports that is more important than the NFL quarterback. You have, you have your doubters, you have your nays haters, you have your haters, unbelievable. But he beat Vinny's team last week, he beat the New York Giants, and what'd he do? He did one of these things to your boy Tommy DeVito, hey, no, no, no. He did the Hayadong.

• 2:16:56Patrick Bet-David?

  So why'd you do that? So I've seen him do it, and I just kinda decided to do it myself. I don't know, I was just kinda thinking.

• 2:17:01Speaker 02

  The reason I like this guy's story, other than the fact that he's ridiculously good looking, I mean, hello, come on.

• 2:17:08Speaker 02

  People hated on him. They doubted him. They said he wasn't gonna do anything. He's made, what, a hundred million dollars almost in his career right now? From walk-on to Heisman winner to number one draft pick? Are you kidding me? And beyond all that? His father is embezzling money? Unbelievable. Horrible story, but someone like this is gonna bounce back because he's a winner. I got, I have a really quick funny story, so I'm, and I, it's on Instagram, but I'll send it to Rob. So I'm working security, because I mean, obviously, I'm huge. I'm at the door, he comes in, this is in North Hollywood, I don't even say the place. He's in there, he's in there with his fiancee. This is right, he's about to get drafted. He's going through that whole- So 2017, basically. 2017, he's going through that whole- They got you as the bouncer. I'm the door guy checking IDs, but I have, trust me, I have hilarious stories, but anyway.

• 2:17:53Speaker 02

  So he comes in and he's chilling, and then he's like, I, I hear something, it's his girl's, his girl fiancee's birthday, but they don't have anything, there's no, he asks if there's any cake or any, we didn't have anything like that. So I leave my post at him, and I sprint down the street, this is, we're talking about reasonable hospitality? There's a Ralph's down the street, I go and I buy a whole thing of cupcakes. I put birthday candles and I, and I light it, and we sing happy birthday to him. Pat, this guy's face was like this, he's like, what the, did you just, are you? Gets his number, I, I contacted him, and then we've been chill ever since. Baker, this whole time. And then he signs his contract, and his dad's taking 12 million dollars, which, by the way, it's weird, this 12 million dollar number. Darryl McCully was Dane Cook's half-brother, you talked about this, from 2004 and 2008 stole 12 million.

• 2:18:37Speaker 02

  From, it's like a really round number that everybody just keeps stealing from their family numbers. He was with Dane Cook not too long ago, but Baker Mayfield, shout out to this guy, bouncing back despite all this.

• 2:18:46Patrick Bet-David?

  This, by the way, despite all of that, and he's doing it, you gotta respect the fact that he's keeping it. Did you have some comments on this, Tom, Baker? Yes, there's something very, very funny that happened, and I don't remember, I wish I could remember what athlete, but I remember reading this long ago. So there's this dispute about the parents, right, taking the money?

• 2:19:02Speaker 02

  And everything. And apparently what the athlete, this was a female athlete and what she did is she said, I'd like to drop the suit. It was, and because they identified all the money apparently, Pat, they found all the transfers. So they knew the money and it was like a couple of million dollars. Now think about what happens. I'm dropping my suit. I think I was mistaken. I remembered now. I gave it to my dad. It was a gift and we've reported it to the IRS.

• 2:19:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Say that again.

• 2:19:30Speaker 02

  What? Her parents apparently had taken a couple of million dollars from her on like dancing and acting. And she, and they ends up in the suit and there's all the stuff going on. Apparently her lawyer said, why don't you just recant it? Drop the suit, say, oh, I remember now it was a gift and report it to the IRS. And that's what she did. So guess what? She didn't have to go after her parents anymore. The IRS is gonna go, hey, you got two million dollars. We want 40% of that.

• 2:20:00Speaker 02

  40%. Wow. That's actually brilliant.

• 2:20:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Well, listen, guys, I do want to give you guys an update. You guys are so crazy and powerful. Guess what? We're officially trending on Twitter. We're number seven hashtag on Twitter. Literally, it says number seven PBD podcast. If you can you zoom in a little bit? PBD podcast trending number seven. That's the power of just day to day people on Thanksgiving.

• 2:20:22Speaker 02

  That's it.

• 2:20:23Patrick Bet-David?

  And you know what? We made someone's day. Thousands of people just wished Abby things, happy things. How respectful is that?

• 2:20:29Speaker 02

  Tom's was the best. Dear Abby, Scott Jennings is the only reason I watch. Happy Thanksgiving anyway. We also got a, um, uh, an amazing Thanksgiving shout out by, uh, from the president, by the way. Do you see what he said? What? President, he had to hear what he said to us.

• 2:20:42Speaker 02

  Clinton said something? He wanted to wish us happy Thanksgiving. Happy 4th of July. There we go. So dumb.

• 2:20:49Patrick Bet-David?

  I love it. Well, listen, gang, it's been great spending time with you guys today on Thanksgiving. To, let's see how many of you were with us the last two hours. Let me give you the exact number. You, you have to be crazy because California, we started at six o'clock and you, you woke up and you stayed with us. Yeah, you were up.

• 2:21:05Speaker 02

  Wakey, wakey.

• 2:21:05Patrick Bet-David?

  And committed. So Rob, what's the number on how many stayed with us the last? Let me just kind of figure this thing out. Ah, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, 220,000 people that were with us this morning. Uh, may God continue to bless you. May 2025 be the beginning of the greatest years of your life. And remember today, Black Friday, 50%. Listen, we already had.

• 2:21:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, I think 17 people that have placed orders over $500, which means I gotta make 17 calls already to some of you guys. We're gonna be busy. I, I look forward to FaceTime to many of you guys. Remember, whatever money that's being spent for some of you that actually are comfortable saying Merry Christmas, go buy the Christmas stuff. Cause that's moving fast, but there's 125 products on there that are on the 50% off sale. That if you purchase, some people are ordering 20 pins at a time. Buying the hats, gifting it to other people, the courses for some of you that are in business. Make the investment on the courses, the bundles. Because every year people ask us, Pat, are we doing this again? Are we doing this again? Are we doing this again? This happens once a year. This is your opportunity. Make sure to make that investment.

• 2:22:10Patrick Bet-David?

  It'll make you a lot more money than buying a TV or video game and all the other stuff that you'll be doing. But aside from that, while you're going through this, I think, I think I just got a text right now. That the first 200 orders, let me read this. Give me one second, folks. I'm what we were doing. Any new hat with the first 100 people will receive a Future Looks Bright mug. Nice. Freaking amazing. So anybody that orders a hat, if you, if in your order, there's a hat in there. You're gonna get a Future Looks Bright mug. There's a bunch of different mugs on there for you to take advantage of. Go take advantage of this. Weekend just started. It really starts Friday, but those of you guys that are with us here on the podcast, you found out first. The email's gonna go out to everybody for this weekend. You're ahead of everybody else.

• 2:22:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, enjoy Thanksgiving. God bless. Take care, everybody. We'll do it again next week. God bless. Bye bye, bye bye.
