  My handshake is better than anything I ever signs, right here. You are a one of one? My sundry, yeah. I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:27Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, pretty busy weekend. Lots going on, lots of fights, lots of arguments. Primaries being done tomorrow. Louisiana, Cassidy losing, coming out, Trump, calling him out. The person that won against him as a two-term senator, Massie's got it tomorrow. Nasty, not looking good. Long Island, you know, the railroad strike shutdown, Hoco blaming Trump, Trump going back and forth. Rob, what's the number? 300,000 people?

• 0:51Adam Sosnick?

  That's what they're saying. 300,000 commuters in New York affected today.

• 0:54Patrick Bet-David?

  300,000 commuters in New York affected by, again, a lot of stuff to go on. Bulburt jumps in there supporting Massie. She says, "I'm for Massie and Trump." So it's kind of like, "I know you've done extensive study on the massive stories, massive stories that will come to you." And then there was a fight. There was this UFC fight that everybody waited. And it was kind of like, you know, when you're like, you know, "You'll see what I'm gonna do to you tonight", type of thing. You're talking dirty. And then the fight lasted 17 seconds. It was disappointing.

• 1:22Adam Sosnick?

  Anti-climax.

• 1:23Patrick Bet-David?

  It was like, you know, 17 seconds, you thought it was gonna be a bigger fight, but then Rhonda came out and took that and, but I thought all the other fights were great. The fights we watched was great. Even the bigger thing right now that's going on, as a capitalist, that I'm excited about is competition.

• 1:39Adam Sosnick?

  100%.

• 1:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Because we've never had leagues competing. Like, MLB does not have competition.

• 1:45Adam Sosnick?

  Nope.

• 1:45Patrick Bet-David?

  NFL, they try to do this AFL, all this other stuff, they don't have competition. XFL, they don't have, NBA doesn't have competition. NHL doesn't have competition. Can you imagine if Jake Paul is able to pull it off for UFC to have competition?

• 1:59Adam Sosnick?

  Wow.

• 1:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you imagine when they were going, in the middle of the fight and Ghana was walking out, they announced the next fight for UFC with McGregor against...

• 2:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Holloway part two.

• 2:10Speaker 03

  Crazy.

• 2:11Patrick Bet-David?

  And they ask Nganu, they're like, what do you think about the fight? He says, what, you want me to walk back out? You want me to go back up? And what do you mean? And Jake Paul had some thoughts to say about. I like this. I like this competition because there's a thing that they're trying to figure out right now. The lawyer, the Armenian guy, can we get John Jones to fight Nganu in their card? Not UFC. Oh, my God. That would be massive. And then you got United Kingdom rally in UK. Folks, if you see this number, I'm going to show you on how many arrests happened in UK just due to online comments versus the rest. Have you seen this chart?

• 2:45Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 2:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Versus the rest of the world, you will be flabbergasted.

• 2:48Speaker 03

  Online, just talking crap to people online.

• 2:50Patrick Bet-David?

  People getting arrested for comments you make online in UK.

• 2:54Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 2:54Patrick Bet-David?

  And then Tommy Robinson comes out and they do another rally. I don't know how many people shot up, 100,000 plus. It was massive.

• 3:00Speaker 03

  Good.

• 3:01Patrick Bet-David?

  All over the place, almost to the point that some people are saying Tommy Robinson fired Keir Starmer because Keir's about to step down. And can you imagine if Tommy had a little bit to do with that? Who knows? Maybe, maybe not. I know Elon is. He's stepping down because he lost and he has to clean out his debt. It's pretty nasty, Tom. It's pretty nasty.

• 3:18Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 3:18Patrick Bet-David?

  So while this is going on, Iran hits a UAE power plant over the weekend. This is their sole power plant that they have. And Trump and Netanyahu have a 30 minute call together. And Trump comes out and says, hey, this is your last, you know, threat you're going to get, your last chance, you better make this thing work or else. And some are speculating today, there's a big meeting that they're going to have in the Situation Room. And there could potentially be an attack tomorrow in Iran, tomorrow, as early as tomorrow, it could happen. By the way, quietly, you know who just had the biggest drone attack over the weekend that no one's even talking about? You know who?

• 3:53Speaker 03

  UAE.

• 3:54Patrick Bet-David?

  No, Zelensky to Russia.

• 3:56Speaker 03

  Oh, wow.

• 3:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you guys follow this?

• 3:58Speaker 03

  The cars are still driving over the bridge.

• 3:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, quietly, he's like, yeah, we're going to do this because you're hitting us and we're hitting you.

• 4:02Speaker 03

  Wow.

• 4:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Because apparently Russia hit them and killed like 54 people, 55 people. And quietly, while all this stuff is going on, yeah, Russia and Ukraine, they're going to have their peace deal. Boom, Zelensky hits them. You conducts a large scale drone strikes on Russia, killing four and wounding 12 others. This happened over the weekend. Quietly, no one's even talking about it. And then quietly. There is a new way to transport oil that UAE is tied to and Saudi did one as well. We can talk about this. Over the weekend, Trump had a lot of victories. One of them was the number two guy in ISIS was taken out on the way back from China. He tweets it and says the number two guy was trying to hide. We took him out and then at the same time, he took our climate change over the weekend. I don't know if you guys saw this or not. So it was Al Gore had a rough weekend.

• 4:47Patrick Bet-David?

  What's that 14 year old girl's name that's 30 now, uh, who was like crying all the time?

• 4:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Toonberg.

• 4:52Patrick Bet-David?

  She looks like she's 45. She looks pretty bad.

• 4:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, my God.

• 4:54Speaker 03

  Well, now she's on flotillas.

• 4:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Is it Greta Thunberg?

• 4:56Tom Ellsworth?

  Yes.

• 4:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Am I saying it correctly?

• 4:58Tom Ellsworth?

  Who always had a crunched up face.

• 5:00Patrick Bet-David?

  She always looked like she's angry.

• 5:01Tom Ellsworth?

  And now the older she's got, the face won't uncrunch.

• 5:03Speaker 03

  A collapse.

• 5:04Patrick Bet-David?

  I wonder if Al Gore's face can do that because sometimes Botox doesn't allow you to do that. According to some studies, like when you do too much Botox, people don't know if you're happy, angry, or you're any of that stuff. It's pretty bad.

• 5:14Tom Ellsworth?

  The impact of Botox is an inconvenient truth.

• 5:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, Tom. So, uh, next is Hokel. Hokel made a... Hokel made another thing where they're talking about these vacation homes, second homes in New York. He says, "There's only 8,000 of them." Yeah, yeah, there's only 8,000 of them. You know how many people have second? You know how many second homes there are in America? Second homes, 6 and 1/2 million. And she said, "It's only 8,000 in New York. It's not like it's a big deal." They, they rate, they lowered it from 5 million to a million. Massive, massive situation. They're just kind of dry. It's almost like the, the way they want to lower the prices of houses in New York is by making it so unattractive to own a home, so valuation goes down. Just a double dumb communistic, socialistic idea. That, Tom, we'll come to you on that. Mondani apparently tried to have a meeting with Ken Griffin.

• 6:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Ken Griffin didn't want to have the meeting. And then there was a couple of other stories. Eric Schmidt gets up there. I believe he's a great operator. I think he's a great teacher. But he's given a commencement speech and he says what AI is gonna do. You thought the boo of that lady last week was bad? The boo he got is 10 times worse than the lady got last week. I don't know if you saw this or not.

• 6:23Speaker 03

  Who was the guy?

• 6:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Eric Schmidt, a guy you follow. He's a futures guy, commodities guy. Eric Schmidt used to run Google, if I'm not mistaken.

• 6:31Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, he was the CEO.

• 6:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, CEO of Google. It's pretty bad. And then Neymar, this is a story none of you guys are following. I'm following because World Cup's around the corner. Anybody, uh, follows Neymar? Rob, do you know who Neymar is?

• 6:42Tom Ellsworth?

  The soccer player.

• 6:43Patrick Bet-David?

  The soccer player, Neymar. Yeah. He's at Fox News now doing some commentary with Scott Jennings.

• 6:47Speaker 03

  What?

• 6:48Tom Ellsworth?

  Hey, we doing good. We should score the ball in the goal.

• 6:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you what happened yesterday. A massive, massive thing happened yesterday with Neymar. That if you're not following, maybe we'll get into it, where he had to show the receipts. It's pretty bad. They're playing Santos, and this is his last chance to kind of show up. So Brazil chooses to take him as one of the players going into World Cup. And the referees accidentally subbed it for his number. It wasn't him being subbed out. And then he even got a yellow card for it. It's a nasty situation what happened. World Cup, you want the best players to be there, especially a guy like Neymar, you want it to be there. And then Rogan and Theo Von, Rogan made some comments about Theo Von, because I think Theo talked about that. He's been on SSRI's.

• 7:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Since a breakup he had 20-plus years ago, and he's talking to Rogan about it. And getting off of it, how tough it would be. And then Rogan made some comments about how he's feeling with his health. And of course Rogan's lost friends on suicide, especially in the comedy world. And then Theo responds back. And then there's a bunch of commentary, two of the biggest personalities in the podcasting section. Rogan, one of the most famous people in the world. So that commentary became big, and maybe we'll address that as well. And we got a few other stories too on top of that. While we're doing this, a couple of things I do want to announce to everyone. Just so you know, I want to make sure we're repeating this over and over and over again to everybody. Two big things. One, those of you who did the survey.

• 8:15Patrick Bet-David?

  I think the $25 gift card that we sent to you had a 30-day lifespan. If you haven't yet taken advantage of it, I'm going to send an email to you again right now. If you check your email, you did the survey, you got it. Thousands of people already took advantage of it. If you haven't, I don't want people to say, "Well, Pat promised this, he didn't do this." There's a lifespan for it. Go take advantage of it. I think it was emailed to you. It's in your mailbox right now. And there's a bunch of new things out there in the store to go take advantage of. Even though there's a couple of stuff that's coming out, there's a bunch of stuff out there for you to go get. So go to VTmerch.com if you got your gift card activated from Shopify. Number two, next Monday, if you guys want to know. About the Vault Conference with the new announcement we're making with four speakers. I intentionally chose this for speakers.

• 9:00Patrick Bet-David?

  I want you to text the word Vault to 3103401132. Text the word Vault to 3103401132. It'll be our biggest one ever, first time we're going to the West Coast MGM Grand Arena. Rob, watch it. This is a lineup of some of the speakers we've announced over the years. Go ahead, Rob.

• 10:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Next Monday on the podcast, 25th, we'll be announcing the four speakers. But those who text the word Vault to 3103401132 will hear about it before anybody else.

• 10:16Patrick Bet-David?

  People are already buying tickets. This weekend was massive with people buying tickets for the Vault Conference. I can't wait to see you guys at this year's Vault Conference. It'll be a special one, one for the history books. Having said that, let's get right into it. The first thing I want to get into is Thomas Massie. Why is Thomas Massie such a big story? So Thomas Massie, his primary is tomorrow. And if you think about Thomas Massie from Kentucky, he was leading the way. He was way ahead. Nobody was even thinking about this guy having a chance of losing. Like, the thoughts were like, there is no way this guy's gonna lose to this other guy that he's going up against. And I'll give you some numbers for you to be thinking about with Thomas Massie. Rob, I know you have a lot of, a few clips on this one here. It was so massive that the president got involved.

• 11:01Patrick Bet-David?

  It was so massive that you had people, you know, some are saying, well, he's not a Republican. He is a Republican. He is more like a Libertarian. I don't know what positions he's got. I don't know where he's gonna be at it. Trying to see, I had all these notes here in front of me. Where'd these notes disappear to? I don't know. Rob, this one's not on you, it's on me. Is there any other notes here, Vinny? Are you taking notes for me, Vinny? And you're not even, no, I have it, I found it. Here it is. Thomas Massie. Let's go back to the story. So, why do some people love him? Why do some people not love him? Let me give you a little bit of both sides. Big, beautiful bill that came out. What his voting record is. He was one of the two GOPs that voted no for it. He said, didn't cut enough, wanted $2 trillion plus more spending cuts. Okay?

• 11:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Second time, the, the final passage was that the first time he didn't vote for it, no, again, fiscal conservatism, he called it fake. Deficit reduction, Trump 2025 budget, he voted no for it. Budget increase spending, wanted real cuts. Epstein files, demanded public release. Iran war powers, airstrikes, opposed, demanded congressional vote. Ukraine-Israel aid, no, multiple times. He's a non-interventionalist, that's his position. Speaker Johnson, he, uh, uh, ousting MTG's motion, he supported it. Continuing resolution, debt ceiling, no, routinely refuses to vote for any spending he deems wasteful. Then when you go to FAC, per FEC's analysis, 79%, this is a very interesting data, Vinny, for you to be thinking about.

• 12:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Massie's individual donor base, I didn't know this till this morning, by the way. 79% are from Democrat, Democrat and liberal PACs. So let me say this one more time. Massie's individual donor base, 79% is from Dems and liberal PACs. So Dems and liberals want Massie. This is per FEC analysis and Tom. Is it fair to say that FEC is somewhat credible of a source that when you see numbers from them is as legit as it gets?

• 13:00Tom Ellsworth?

  That is absolutely correct. They are the authority on those numbers. People get sued or even indicted on discoveries FEC makes.

• 13:07Patrick Bet-David?

  So, now that's that part, when you're looking at it. On top of that, as you go into this, it gets a little bit deeper as well on where the lead was between Massie and, uh, uh, uh, this fellow he's running against, whose name is, uh, Gal rain.

• 13:22Tom Ellsworth?

  Ed Gal rain.

• 13:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Which, by the way, he's a Navy SEAL, okay? I believe a four-time, he's, he's a award-winning Navy SEAL. He's done his part in military. And Massie had a massive lead just last month. If you look at last month.

• 13:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Where he was at, open watchdog, party alignment, okay? Seventy-three percent of the time, Massie votes with the GOP. That's below GOP average, above Rhino threshold. Heritage Action Scorecard scored Massie at seventy-one percent. GOP average is eighty to ninety percent for them, okay? In 2024, Vinny, when he won, Massie, you know what his score was when he won? Seventy-five point nine percent landslide victory. Very different race than the one that's taking place today. In April, just last month, his lead was forty-seven to thirty-eight percent. Apparently today, Rob, what you showed me, Galarin, Galarin is at forty-eight point three to Massie forty-three.

• 14:19Patrick Bet-David?

  And to another poll, May eleven, May twelve, Galarin is fifty-three to Massie's forty-five. So he's up eight percent, plus minus, today. Tom, how did Massie go from having such a big lead on Galarin to all of a sudden Galarin flipping and having that eight-point lead on him?

• 14:35Tom Ellsworth?

  Massie lost all his support, and with his support, you lose the secret money. Now, I don't mean secret illegal money, I'm not saying that. But I think people know, who know elections, know what I'm talking about. You know, Vinny, we always talk about the PACs, that it, you know, people putting five dollars, ten dollars on their candidate, those days are gone. You know, candidates like to say, "I only take donations from the regular voter, I don't take donations." Well, guess what? All of the money, the RNC, and when you see people like J.D. Vance and other people talking about Massie, he lost all that, Pat. All that money went to unseat him, and then he also ended up in very public fights. And there was something that J.D. Vance said. He said, "Voting against your party on every single issue is a problem.

• 15:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Not just one, or two, or three, but every issue. And we couldn't count on your vote when we needed it." So in Washington, remember, there's brokering of votes. "Hey, Pat, look, you're in Nebraska, you need my vote on farm? You give me the vote on the Colorado River. Will you do that? You know, yeah, I can do that. Okay, and then if you do that, then help me out with the lumber vote that's here in, you know, Arkansas, Kentucky, where we are." Great. And so these deals get made, and they're not like backroom deals, it's just like how votes are brokered in Washington. Massie ended up as a man on an island with no friends.

• 15:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, and by the way, this is the talk you were talking about, from J.D. Vance, and this isn't recent, this is from seven months ago. So it's not like we're talking about this happened this week. Rob, you want to play this clip?

• 16:04Speaker 05

  I think the problem with Thomas, and I've told him this in private, and now I guess I'll say it in public, is it's one thing to disagree with the party on a particular issue, it's one thing to take, you know, to have your independent stand on a number of questions. And by the way, some of the stuff where Thomas Massie has been independent against the Republican Party, I've agreed with him with. Thomas and I worked together during 2023, where I was trying to stop the limitless flow of American money to Ukraine, and Thomas was one of the people I was working closest with it. But that's one thing. Being independent, having your own opinions is one thing. Voting against the party on every single issue, you're eventually

• 16:46Speaker 05

  going to make too many enemies. And that is the problem that Thomas has had. It's not one issue, it's not three or four issues, it's that every time that we've needed Thomas for a vote, he has been completely unwilling to provide it. That is why the President of the United-

• 16:59Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, this is what's funny about Vance saying this. If Rubio says this, that's one thing. Vance is a non-interventionist. Vance is, some would say, an isolationist. Vance is probably on the side of Massie. So if Rubio said it, they're gonna say what? Well, that's a neocon saying that, you know, all that other stuff. But when Vance says it, Vance is closer to Massie than Rubio is closer to Massie. Any of your thoughts here?

• 17:22Speaker 03

  I agree. And from that, from that list of his do's and don'ts, I mean, the two that stuck out that I could 100% get on board with, the Epstein files where he's like, I want 100% disclosure. Obviously, that didn't happen, still not gonna happen. I don't think it's ever gonna happen. And then the funding for foreign wars to anybody, Ukraine or anybody, for that matter. I'm cool with that. But if 75% you said is donating, he's completely against the party, why are you a Republican? Why not go to the Democratic Party or become an independent?

• 17:49Patrick Bet-David?

  According to FEC, 79% of Massie's individual donor base is Dems and Liberal PAC.

• 17:55Speaker 03

  Okay, so either, either they have you there because they know what you're gonna do and they're funding you, or the other, be a Democrat, then go be a Democrat.

• 18:02Patrick Bet-David?

  So here's the question for you. But here's the question, because he will say, well, his opponent got money from AIPAC.

• 18:09Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 18:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so you have a candidate that you gotta vote for, conservative. One got money from AIPAC- And say, you know, I don't know what person, can we pull up Gelleran, what percentage of his money he got from AIPAC? Gal rain, I think, what percent, because you know, the big story right now is, which hopefully we'll get into, is how Israel became the topic that broke the Republicans. There's a story that just came out over the weekend. So that is an issue that a lot of people will say, well, you know what? He's taking money from AIPAC. Great. No problem.

• 18:37Speaker 03

  The other guy?

• 18:38Patrick Bet-David?

  The other guy. So has benefited roughly 5.71 year, 12 million dollars. According to track, AIPAC's breakdown, one snapshot listed PAC donations about $62,000 is what he got. Okay? So, but what percentage of Gal rain's money came from AIPAC is what I want to know, Rob. Can you find that part out? So then this is the question for you. You have two candidates. One's got money from AIPAC. The other one didn't. Massie didn't get money from AIPAC.

• 19:05Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 19:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Gal rain did. But Massie got 79% from Dems and liberals PACs and say Gal rain got zero.

• 19:13Speaker 03

  I'm honestly not voting for either because I don't want one person getting money from a foreign country.

• 19:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Control that. Trump got money from AIPAC. Then what do you do?

• 19:20Speaker 03

  Hundreds, 120.

• 19:22Patrick Bet-David?

  No, but what I'm saying to you is Trump got money from AIPAC. Is that going to get you not to vote for Trump?

• 19:26Speaker 03

  No.

• 19:26Patrick Bet-David?

  So in 2028, if Rubio gets money from AIPAC, you don't vote for him? If JD Vance gets money from AIPAC, you don't vote for him and you have to vote for Newsom?

• 19:33Speaker 03

  I would never go with Democrat, ever.

• 19:36Patrick Bet-David?

  But what this is saying to you is 79% of his donor base is Dems and liberals.

• 19:42Speaker 03

  And I don't, so you know, I think that that's like a Trojan horse put in by, by the Democrats. If that, just say 80%. 80% of your money is coming from the opposition that's trying to destroy the country.

• 19:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Why, why do you think, why do you think it is? Adam, that's 79% according to FEC.

• 19:57Speaker 03

  Crazy.

• 19:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Mm hmm. Rob, this is the report you gave me. Can you double verify this? That 79% is from Dems and liberal PACs?

• 20:04Speaker 03

  That's crazy.

• 20:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead, Adam.

• 20:05Speaker 03

  Doesn't make sense.

• 20:06Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah. Uh, listen, I don't think Thomas Massie is as bad as they're making him out to be. Uh, but you know, we read a book back in the day, you met, you know, give us a assignment. It was called Ideal Team Player. Remember that? Being a team player?

• 20:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, Patrick Lencioni.

• 20:21Adam Sosnick?

  And the, the challenge with Massie is that he has such. Values and principles that mean so much to him. And respectfully, I hear you on that. But you're a part of a team. And you're a part of an agenda. And you're a part of the Trump agenda. Here's what we know about Trump. You're either with him or you're against him in the Republican Party. And whether he's been with him or not, and I'll get into some of the numbers. He's perceived as against him. So here's some numbers for you. Do you know that the average House Representative? Republican Representative votes with Trump 95% of the time. So just pick a Republican Representative.

• 21:06Adam Sosnick?

  That person votes with Trump 95% of the time. A Senate Republican votes with Trump 96% of the time. So on average, there's about a 5% to 6% chance you're not voting with Trump. Where does Tom Massie fall on this list? Anyone want to take a guess?

• 21:26Speaker 03

  If he votes for Trump?

• 21:27Adam Sosnick?

  Percentage of time that he votes with Trump?

• 21:30Speaker 03

  15%.

• 21:31Adam Sosnick?

  15% he votes with?

• 21:33Speaker 03

  With Trump.

• 21:33Adam Sosnick?

  Trump? What about you?

• 21:35Tom Ellsworth?

  I think it's probably about 33%. I think it's probably a little overblown.

• 21:38Adam Sosnick?

  33% votes with Trump?

• 21:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Correct.

• 21:40Adam Sosnick?

  Copy that. What about you, Pat?

• 21:41Patrick Bet-David?

  The number you hear is 91% of the time he's with Trump. That's the number everybody keeps dropping. So tell us, what do you have?

• 21:48Adam Sosnick?

  You're very, very close.

• 21:50Speaker 03

  Really?

• 21:50Adam Sosnick?

  Massie votes with Trump and the MAGA agenda 88% of the time. And he votes against the agenda 12% of the time. And you might think, well, that's not that big of a deal. Well, he's second in voting against the Trump agenda. Who's first is a guy named Brian Fitzpatrick in Pennsylvania, who they basically say, great quarterback, great beard, great beard. They say he's like the John Fetterman of the Republican Party.

• 22:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Brian.

• 22:18Adam Sosnick?

  Brian. He votes against Trump 20% of the time. So we're grading at a scale here. What's my point? In theory, you think he votes with Trump, 15%, that's a big number.

• 22:30Speaker 03

  What I'm seeing, yeah.

• 22:31Adam Sosnick?

  It's 85%, but 88%, but the reality is this, 10 to 12% will get you out of favor in the MAGA Republican Party. So for instance, where did Marjorie Trader Greene vote with Trump? She was actually pretty average, 95%. So what this shows is, you're either with, not with Trump, are you with the agenda? And if you're against the agenda, and if you're in Trump's crosshairs, if you cross

• 22:59Speaker 03

  10%.

• 23:00Adam Sosnick?

  You're gonna be in his crosshairs.

• 23:01Speaker 03

  10% off, 5% off.

• 23:02Adam Sosnick?

  So just, so the people that he attacks the most, it's basically 80/20. Susan Collins, Murkowski, Rand Paul, 85 to 15 Mitch McConnell. The bottom line is this, you don't have to be against Trump on one or two things for, to get his attention. But if you're in that 10% range, and you're blocking the team, what did J.D. Vance say? I'll end it on this, he said, "On the times that we needed you, Thomas Massie."

• 23:31Speaker 03

  You weren't there.

• 23:32Adam Sosnick?

  You weren't there. So imagine, we're on a team, I was like, "Listen, I need you, Vinny, on this one, brother. Can I depend on you?" And Thomas Massie goes, "No, man, you can't." That's why Trump is going against.

• 23:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's what I would tell you, here's what I would tell you. You need people like this, and therefore there to be a debate, okay? But the part that you gotta know what America is saying, you know, I used to be a big libertarian myself. I was a libertarian myself. I relate to a lot of the libertarian principles. Leave me alone, let me go build my life. But guess what? The Libertarian Party, over and over and over again, has proven itself that your voice isn't big enough to win an election. The closest libertarian that ever won in the last 20, 30, 40 years is President Trump. He's the closest libertarian candidate they ever had. And here, here's what it really comes down to. The, the part where it comes down to, to me, is the following, is

• 24:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that, you know, you make your argument. So who sides with Massie? Is it fair to say Tucker sides with Massie?

• 24:33Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 24:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Is it fair to say Candace sides with Massie?

• 24:36Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 24:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Is it fair to say-

• 24:37Adam Sosnick?

  That's her favorite politician.

• 24:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Perfect. Is it fair-

• 24:39Adam Sosnick?

  And Massie endorses Dan Bilzerian.

• 24:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Give me the bigger names that's gonna be on Massie's side. Give me bigger names that are on Massie's side. Those are the names, okay. So guess what? So if that's who you want, which by the way, we'll probably get criticized on the MAGA side. You stop talking about Epstein. We kept talking about it no matter what and we're gonna continue to- If a story comes out, we're gonna talk about it because what happens to kids, I'm not with it, I'm gonna keep talking about that. The other thing that, for us to continue to talk about, some of the stuff that he supported is Ukraine, all that stuff, okay, no problem. Why? That's not our war, that's somebody else's war. If we're gonna fund our war, that our leader made a decision to do, great, different story, and you can debate that and go ahead, but for us to go out there and give amount of money for other people's wars?

• 25:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Different story, cuz I'm not about constantly giving money to NATO and NATO's not- So yes, we're on that page together. But whenever you go up and you say, "I'm gonna go against the existing president and here's what I'm gonna do." Guess what? No, by the way, not poof. Cuz who did that? Who did that in 2015?

• 25:43Adam Sosnick?

  Trump.

• 25:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course, and what did he do?

• 25:45Adam Sosnick?

  He's saying going against the establishment whole system.

• 25:47Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, Massie is following the playbook of Trump. Trump went against the establishment Republicans.

• 25:53Adam Sosnick?

  Sure.

• 25:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump went against Bush's. Trump went against McCain, Trump went against everybody. But guess what Trump did? He won. So if Massie's gonna go make this argument to say, "Hey, I'm gonna go against the existing establishment and today's establishment is who?"

• 26:09Adam Sosnick?

  Trump.

• 26:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Now it's Trump. Trump was anti-establishment, Trump is now the establishment, Massie is now trying to be anti-establishment, and guess what? The market's gonna tell you if they're with you or not. And if the market's not with you, guess what they're telling you? "As much as we like you and we want your voice in there, we're more with this guy than we're with you." Why? Even if you go, and by the way, I've invited him, Massie, to come on here. Rob, how many times have we invited Massie to be on here?

• 26:36Adam Sosnick?

  A dozen.

• 26:37Patrick Bet-David?

  A dozen times to be on here. I want to talk to the guy, right? I wanted to talk to the guy. Obviously, at this point, it's tomorrow, so it's a different story. I want to know because he says something like that makes sense. I like what he's saying. So Boebert goes out there and says, "Look," she defends both of them. She says, "I endorse Trump and I endorse, you know, Massie, and I think Massie's good for the market," right? While she's doing this, Massie's kind of looking at her funny. I don't know if you saw this clip. Massie's kind of looking at her funny. He's like, "I don't know if this is going to be good or bad for us." This is her. "Below is my friend, Thomas Massie. He loves America and is fighting to save it. Also below is my friend and President Donald Trump. He put his life on the line to save this country. I support both of these men. I've worked with both to serve freedom and liberty, and if that makes you angry, bless your heart."

• 27:22Adam Sosnick?

  That is...

• 27:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump responds back, and Trump says, "If is anyone interested in running against weak-minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado's fourth congressional..." You remember Lauren moved to the district when it became obvious that she couldn't win an original district, the third. A carpetbagger indeed, Boebert is campaigning for the worst Republican congressman in the history of our country, Thomas Massie. And then he goes on, "And nobody who can be that dumb deserves a good primary fight. Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my honor to withdraw that endorsement and endorse a good and proper alternative. Just let me know or announce your candidacy. I will be there for you."

• 28:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay? So now, some people will say, "Well, that's a bully. You're pushing him out. This is the game of politics. Lover or hated, this is why people watch it. This is why, to me, this is my favorite sport. This is my, I used to follow all these others. My favorite sport today is politics. Such an interesting game to be a part of." Then there's this other guy, two-term senator, Cassidy, okay, who's in Louisiana. Who was one of the seven Republican senators? Who went and supported the impeachment for J6?

• 28:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 28:34Patrick Bet-David?

  One of seven. And guess who gave Cassidy his endorsement first?

• 28:39Speaker 03

  Trump?

• 28:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump did. And he forgot. And he flipped on him. So guess what happened to him last night? A two-term sitting Senator of Louisiana lost last night. And if I asked you who beat him, I guarantee you don't know the name.

• 28:54Speaker 03

  You're absolutely right.

• 28:55Patrick Bet-David?

  And guess what that tells you? You know what it tells you? It doesn't matter if they know your name or not. Trump's endorsement still carries weight. Say whatever you want, Trump doesn't carry weight, he's lost his base, MAGA's lost, MAGA's lost. Really? Is that why Massie's flipped eight points? Just a month ago, he's up, a month later, he's down? Is that why Cassidy lost? Because you know, he was saying whatever he was saying about the president? And by the way, even if you listen to his speech where he's like, well, you know, this is not about one man. This is about ideas and this is about this. You supported J6.

• 29:33Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 29:33Patrick Bet-David?

  And even the story, maybe in cover later on today about Michael Fano, and if I'm saying the name correctly, that came out and the camera shows, guy wasn't having a heart attack, it was a bunch of bullshit. You fell for it.

• 29:42Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 29:43Patrick Bet-David?

  And you lost. So this is him giving his speech. Go ahead, Rob.

• 29:47Adam Sosnick?

  I have been able to participate in democracy.

• 29:49Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I like Bill. I thought he was a great Senator. Rob, you have two clips. You have, I know you, no, because there's the thing people don't know about Rob. Rob loves Lindsey Graham's voice.

• 29:58Speaker 03

  He loves, it's like white noise.

• 30:00Patrick Bet-David?

  I get it. Listen, guys, don't judge him, he's fine. Go ahead.

• 30:03Adam Sosnick?

  I have been able to participate in democracy. And when, and when you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn't turn out the way you want it to. But you don't, you don't whine, you don't claim that election was stolen, you don't find a reason why.

• 30:19Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 30:21Patrick Bet-David?

  See, but this is the thing. You can pause that and it sounds like you're getting support. Those claps, we're in the clap audit business. How many people in that room clapping? Go back again to the clap. Uh, no, it's not 12. It's not 12. Listen to it again.

• 30:33Speaker 03

  Let me hear this.

• 30:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Go to, go to, go to 20 seconds.

• 30:36Speaker 03

  All right, let's hear this.

• 30:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch, how many, a little bit, a little bit back, this prior to a clap, right there.

  Kayak searches and compares hundreds of travel sites. But unless I repeat the word kayak, Kayak thinks you won't remember that. So Kayak asked me to say kayak as many times as possible. Kayak. Kayak. Kayak. Kayak. Kayak. Kai.

• 32:02Speaker 06

  Ooh. Ak. Kai, Kai, Kai, Kai, kayak. Kayak, kayak, kayak. Kayak.

• 32:07Speaker 03

  Search, compare, and save on your trip. Kayak. Got that right.

• 32:15Speaker 03

  25 to 30.

• 32:17Adam Sosnick?

  25 to 50 at the most.

• 32:18Speaker 03

  No, there's not 50 people.

• 32:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, what do you think it is, Rob? How many people?

• 32:23Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I wouldn't say it's any more than 25. That sounded like four people clapping.

• 32:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 32:27Adam Sosnick?

  So I was right. Close to the mic.

• 32:29Patrick Bet-David?

  But listen, Rob is also guestimating. I'm the professional with clapping.

• 32:33Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, gotcha.

• 32:33Speaker 03

  There's wine sommeliers.

• 32:34Adam Sosnick?

  Jim Clapper over here. So what's the over/under?

• 32:37Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know what the number is. It's not a big number. I'm gonna say a high 50, low 30 is what I'm gonna say.

• 32:42Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I agree. I totally agree with you.

• 32:44Patrick Bet-David?

  But so, but the part becomes, you went against him for J6. So did Pence. What, where's Pence? Pence launched a book yesterday. Did you guys see the tweet with Pence's book launch? No. How many guys even knew that Pence launched a book yesterday? Go to his Twitter account. Go to his Twitter account. Pence launched a book, right there. Go to his link. This is a guy, you know, Rob, can you do me a favor? Go to his account to show how many followers he has. He's got 5.6 million followers.

• 33:10Speaker 03

  Damn.

• 33:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, he's a 48 VP that we had. Can you go back? Okay, can you go back to the, uh, how many likes did he get? 785. And look at the first comment. No one is buying your shitty book.

• 33:22Speaker 03

  Traitor.

• 33:23Patrick Bet-David?

  But, but, but this is not, I, I don't, maybe it's a good book. I don't know if it's a good book or a bad book. But you went against somebody, you took the position, you lost. We lost.

• 33:34Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 33:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Right? Like, uh, Tropic Thunder, right? You, now you're lost. Now you don't know what to do. So what happened? So look, Trump still carries the big stick. Trump still carries the endorsement. What's this, Rob? Do we have the exact how many it is?

• 33:45Adam Sosnick?

  This looks like the concession, uh, the concession speech yesterday, and it, here's the amount.

• 33:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you fast forward a little bit to see if we can tell how many people? Does somebody do a turnaround?

• 33:56Patrick Bet-David?

  I can't see this stuff. You see, I want to see the behind.

• 33:58Speaker 03

  There's less.

• 33:58Patrick Bet-David?

  That looks like 49 people in, guys, 49, 51 people in the room, somewhere on.

• 34:03Adam Sosnick?

  And on the left, those are our professional photographers.

• 34:05Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so, so I'll come to you with Cassidy. Adam, your thoughts on Cassidy losing and Massie being where he's at right now? Today or tomorrow, you said, Rob? It's to-

• 34:14Adam Sosnick?

  Tomorrow.

• 34:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 34:15Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 34:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead, Adam.

• 34:16Adam Sosnick?

  Cassidy already lost, I would say.

• 34:17Patrick Bet-David?

  He lost, yeah, he lost yesterday.

• 34:18Adam Sosnick?

  And then if you want to pull up the Kalshi for Massie, he, in the last week or two, it's just gone the exact opposite way. There it is. Ed Galarain.

• 34:28Speaker 03

  Never heard of him.

• 34:29Adam Sosnick?

  Doesn't matter, he's in, uh.

• 34:31Speaker 03

  He's a Republican.

• 34:32Adam Sosnick?

  But here's a, a couple of quick things. Number one, you talked about libertarianism. I flirted with being a libertarian for a little bit. And then I realized, I have to live in the real world and not live in fantasy land. Where if, it's okay if you're in Kentucky, because who are the biggest libertarians? A lot of them are in Kentucky. For some reason, the Rand Pauls of the world, the, uh, Massies of the world. But then, uh, reality steps in and goes, yeah, you actually have a real country to run. Uh, peace through strength, stability through strength. We have to actually do things that, uh, you might not want to do, but have to do. And that's where libertarian sort of falls apart. But regarding, uh, Cassidy, his, uh, his fatal flaw was almost a Godfather thing.

• 35:14Adam Sosnick?

  And what's the famous line in, in The Godfather? Never go against a family. And if you do, you can disagree, but you don't do it publicly. And the Republican, there's a graveyard of people that went against Trump publicly. You brought up Mike Pence. I mean, I'll just go rapid fire. We're here, Liz Cheney. Mike Pence you talked about, Chris Christie, Adam Kinzinger, if you remember him, probably the greatest name in politics, Adam, you know? But he's now, basically, he's nowhere to be found. John Bolton, Chris Christie, all these people went against Trump, and where are they now? That doesn't mean that you can't go against Trump, but when you do it publicly, that's the problem. Can I give one quick example?

• 35:57Adam Sosnick?

  I've learned from you on some leadership, doing against the agenda. There might be people that worked here, that are no longer here, that maybe I think highly of, or I don't, whatever. But I'm not gonna say how I feel about them and undermine you publicly. That would be so stupid. Walk the company line, I'm on the agenda. There's people that may have worked here that I didn't like. I don't say anything about them. There's people that worked here recently, that are in the public eye. I don't say a word, none of my business.

• 36:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Apparently multiple people's public eye, but keep going.

• 36:34Adam Sosnick?

  But there's also people that worked here that I really liked.

• 36:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 36:36Adam Sosnick?

  But they're out of favor. And for me, I keep it in the family. So, what these guys are learning is you can do your criticism of them, but when you go on the national stage, and you try to get elected by going against Trump, you're basically a dead man walking, Thomas Massie.

• 36:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, look, but that's the part. So if you think, I actually respect the risk.

• 36:59Speaker 03

  I do too.

• 36:59Patrick Bet-David?

  I respect the risk, but that doesn't mean you are going to win.

• 37:04Speaker 03

  Nope.

• 37:05Patrick Bet-David?

  And you thought you were bigger than him. People keep saying, I think after Trump is over with, his endorsement's gonna mean nothing in 2028. Data's saying otherwise.

• 37:14Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 37:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Data's saying otherwise. Tom?

• 37:16Tom Ellsworth?

  So I love case studies, and I love studying politics. And I'll add something here really fast. Everybody remembers Joe Lieberman. Two years ago, he had a fall at home, passed away in his 80s, older gentleman at that time, really sad. Served the country well. He was the VP candidate in 2000. But he got behind the...

• 37:39Tom Ellsworth?

  9/11 and the Patriot Act and the Department of Homeland Security and a lot of people didn't like that. And when he came up, a three-time senate incumbent, in 2006, the Dems sent a guy named Ned Lamont to go get him.

• 37:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Great name.

• 37:55Tom Ellsworth?

  And Ned Lamont beat him 52-48 in the primary. And so here the Lieberman, a three-time senator and vice presidential candidate in 2000, he was almost VP if that very close race had gone the other way. But he said, "Wait a minute. I believe the people of Connecticut want more. I'm running as Lieberman for Connecticut and I will run as an independent." And when the race ran as independent, he got 49%, Lamont got 39. He beat him by 10 points. And so, there is a way back. If you've been manipulated, and Joe Lieberman showed as an independent, there is a way back. But right now with these endorsements, I don't

• 38:36Tom Ellsworth?

  see a way back for some of these people because Lieberman didn't go negative. He just got caught out by his party because they didn't like where he was standing, but he didn't like go up against the guys.

• 38:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, if I told you right now, give me one fact, give me one fact, Vinny, outside of what we've talked about, Ed Galrain, what would you say? Ed Galrain? Yeah. Aside from the fact that you know he's a Navy SEAL, because others have said it, what else can you say about Ed Galrain? This is him, by the way. Can I be honest with you? That's the first time I've ever seen his face. Okay, so check this out. He's got 45,000 followers on Twitter. This is a Navy SEAL, okay? You know why his hair is like that in that picture? Why? Because he's a farmer. That's a farmer's haircut. Look at the farmer. He's working. There's a farm behind him. Fifth-generation farmer. Wow. Fifth-generation farmer in Kentucky, okay? Did multiple tours, four Bronze Stars,

• 39:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Navy SEAL captain, was a Ranger. When you look at his stuff that he's done, so, but this is the point I'm trying to make. Nobody knew who he was except for some of the people out of Kentucky, okay? And what happens? Now he's beating Massie. Go to Massie, Rob, how many followers he's got? Go to Massie to see his influence? Go to his ex account. It's gotta be in the millions. How many followers does he have?

• 39:54Adam Sosnick?

  1.7.

• 39:55Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, it's not just 1.7, it's a true loyal 1.7 people that follow this guy, right? And even with that, you can't beat a guy who no one knows about. Ed Gellerin with 45,000 followers, and I'm willing to bet a lot of that 45,000 followers came after the president endorsed him.

• 40:13Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, yeah.

• 40:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Why? Because you are not bigger than Trump. And FYI, as much as that bothers you, up until you can get bigger than Trump to make better arguments, you're going to lose. It's very simple. That's how competition works. Doesn't mean don't compete. It doesn't mean sit this one out. It definitely means 2028 election is going to be interesting on who's going to go against what. But it is competition that's exciting and we'll see what happened here.

• 40:40Adam Sosnick?

  To me, they like Massie, but they love Trump, and that's the problem.

• 40:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's the point. And you, again, you want to get that last final word too, because without that commentary, you know, the story doesn't tie up. So you tie the-

• 40:53Adam Sosnick?

  No, per my contract, I have to give an interruption at the end.

• 40:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course. Thomas Massie on X, location, Appalachia, Stan. Let's go to the next one here. Let's go to the next one. This story I want to get to is New Yorkers. I feel bad for New Yorkers. Like, we want to give you good news. We want to give you good news. The good news is the New York Mets beat the Yankees the last two games. That's the only good news you got. And that's if you're a Mets fan and you know how it is, Mets versus Yankees fans, very big difference. They've done studies and then, yeah, Tom was celebrating, Tom was celebrating in a big way. But let me tell you what Hokel was saying. So you know the whole thing with $5 million properties? It's so bad that Mom Donnie tried to reach out to Ken Griffin. Ken Griffin didn't even pick up. It's like, I don't even want to talk to you guys. No, you want to dox my frickin' place. Now you want to talk to me?

• 41:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Why don't you reach out to me before doxing where I live and where I have a property at? No, no, no. You know, that's not what we want to do. You have this taxing of the second home plan. And Hokel comes out of nowhere and says, no, let's not make it 5 million, Vinny. Like, if you have a house over there, 4.9 million, guess what? No, no second home taxes. You're gonna be okay. She drops it from 5 million to 1 million, Vinny. Wait, and then she says, it's only about 8,000 people that have second homes in New York. Some say it's hundreds of thousands of second homes. Americans have 6.5 million second homes in a different place. How many things gonna be in New York? No, it's not really gonna be that big of an impact.

• 42:21Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not. So ultra wealthy non-New York residents who use these high value apartments or homes as secondary properties rather than their primary resident projected revenue expected to raise at least a half a billion dollars annually to help close New York City's budget gap. Tax rates, properties value between 5 to 15 million will be taxed at 0.8%. Properties between 15 to 25 million will be 1.05. Properties above 25 million will be 1.3. You know what she ends up saying now? Vinnie, she wants to lower that from 5 million to 1 million. Tom, why is this such a big deal? And she's getting pushed back on this, but why is this such a big deal?

• 42:58Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, it's a big deal because over the weekend, I said it among all of us. I said, I believe this was going to happen in exactly March of 2029. Why? Wait till the election. Just wait a couple of years. Do it then. Or do it maybe in March of 2027. But get through the election. So I was thinking, you know, that that's what will happen. I didn't think it was going to happen in four weeks. But guess what? The truth of these, it's true in Seattle. It's true in the initiative that's going to be on the ballot in California in the fall. And it's true in New York. Good news, we're taxing the rich. Bad news, you

• 43:40Tom Ellsworth?

  know, I changed my mind. You're rich too. And you. And you. Guess what? You never give the Democrats a knob on taxes because they're going to turn it. And the other problem is Hochul has got $4 billion she's sending to New York City as support for this. She's sending that to New York. So guess what? She's like, you need to raise this tax because the people of New York, and if you've ever seen electoral map by county of New York, it will shock you. You would think that it's all, all blue. It's not. The electoral map of Canada, county by county, is shocking. Everybody that's outside of New York City,

• 44:23Tom Ellsworth?

  and by the way, some of this is old. It was even closer than that in the most recent election. And so the problem is, she's got to find money. And she's supporting him, Pat. And guess what? Oh, what a surprise.

• 44:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, thoughts?

• 44:36Adam Sosnick?

  Well, look, this comes down to the, this is the million dollar question, right? Because as Tom eloquently put, you know, it's, it's rules for, for thee, not for me. Because once you, you know, say, okay, five million dollars. So let's say your property is worth a million or two million. You're like, poof, escape that one. Yeah, yeah, tax those guys. Oh, no, sorry, guys, bad news. We're actually going to lower it to a million. Now, all of a sudden, do you know what percentage of New Yorkers have to fear this tax increase? Do you know what percentage of homes in New York are over, are worth over one million dollars? They say sixty to eighty percent of homes in New York City are worth over one million dollars. I'll tell you a quick story. I went to go visit a good buddy of mine in New York. He's like, I just bought this great new apartment. Come by, check it out. I'm like, okay.

• 45:21Adam Sosnick?

  It's like a little brownstone right near the World Trade Center. I go, okay, cool. It's, he goes, I goes, yeah, I'm on the fifth floor. No elevator, you're gonna walk up. Oh, okay, cool. I walk up. He has this tiny little one bedroom slash studio hut shoebox. I go, and he did it up. He did all the bells and whistles. Goes, this place looks great. It's amazing.

• 45:43Patrick Bet-David?

  He or she, this?

• 45:44Adam Sosnick?

  He did, a buddy of mine.

• 45:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 45:46Adam Sosnick?

  So I go in, I'm like, I'm looking around the apartment. I go, dude, it's really nice. I like what you did with the place, but it's tiny as hell. I mean, tiny, I'm taking a piss in the bathroom. So what's this worth? He goes, yeah, I got a good deal on it, 1.2. I go, this is a 1.2 million dollar apartment? Keep in mind, this is pre-COVID, so I don't even know what it's worth now. The point is this, for a shoebox, it's a million dollars. By the way, in the United States, eight to 10% of homes are worth over one million dollars. So it's a completely different anomaly here. But when you start lowering taxes and the threshold is one million, that's basically sixty to eighty percent of New Yorkers, they're gonna fill out tax.

• 46:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me put it to you this way, when you say percentages, that's, that's, that's right. But if you actually bring it to numbers, which is what he's got right there. Three hundred and fifty-six thousand units are valued over a million dollars in New York City. You know how many over five million? Seven thousand.

• 46:42Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 46:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Seven to thirteen thousand. So you're, you went from seven to thirteen thousand are gonna be taxed on the properties to all of a sudden, three hundred and fifty-six thousand. So you know, you know what this does? Some people are sitting there, Tom, it, it makes me think about a couple of different things. So if I have a second home in New York City, am I still paying property taxes?

• 47:01Adam Sosnick?

  Yes, indeed.

• 47:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Am I taking advantage of the taxes I'm investing my money into? Let me ask the question one more time. If I, if I'm in Florida, I buy penthouse in New York, New York City. Just because when I'm going to the Yankees game, I want to stay at our penthouse instead of stay at a hotel. Am I paying property taxes for that property as a second home? I am.

• 47:20Adam Sosnick?

  Yes, you are.

• 47:21Patrick Bet-David?

  But am I taking advantage of all the tax services? That you're taking my money to create those.

• 47:28Adam Sosnick?

  No, no, no, no, no.

• 47:30Tom Ellsworth?

  Your kids are going to school down here. They don't have to protect you with the police because you're not there.

• 47:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Isn't that a good customer?

• 47:37Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah. That's like, that's like where you put that.

• 47:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you understand what that, let me explain to you what this means.

• 47:42Adam Sosnick?

  Fee but not getting anything for it.

• 47:44Patrick Bet-David?

  This is like Equinox Gym. Has 10,000 members. Of which 50% never use the gym, never make it nasty, never use the shower, never do any of that stuff. But they're paying the $150 a month. Are those not good customers for Equinox? Can you imagine if Equinox Gym? Or you run a gym and says, Those of you that are paying your monthly membership, but you don't take advantage of the gym. We're gonna give you a 10% fee. Use the damn gym. What's wrong with you?

• 48:14Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 48:15Patrick Bet-David?

  All it matters is I'm paying in.

• 48:17Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 48:17Patrick Bet-David?

  And I'm even paying taxes.

• 48:18Tom Ellsworth?

  And by the way, you're paying homeowners association.

• 48:20Patrick Bet-David?

  You need to use the gym more often.

• 48:22Adam Sosnick?

  Forced for gym members.

• 48:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Johnny, I'm one of those guys that buys memberships and never goes. Take the money. No, damn it, come down here. That's what they're, do you, do you understand how dumb the logic is?

• 48:34Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 48:34Patrick Bet-David?

  So you got a customer? That's got a $250 million property that the guy's paying taxes on? And you're bitching about him?

• 48:42Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 48:43Patrick Bet-David?

  He's putting a few million dollars of tax revenue into your city. You're bitching about him? Keep your mouth shut.

• 48:51Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 48:51Patrick Bet-David?

  And just take the revenue. Because how many other customers want to buy that $250, $50 million property?

• 48:57Adam Sosnick?

  Not many.

• 48:58Patrick Bet-David?

  How many other people want to buy that $250 million penthouse?

• 49:01Adam Sosnick?

  And maybe a handful if that.

• 49:03Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, you know what? They don't. You know why the story of that $250 million property is? It goes too much this way. So if you actually, I don't know if you know the story about it.

• 49:11Adam Sosnick?

  The actual property Ken Griffins?

• 49:13Patrick Bet-David?

  The actual property, the way they build, the way they build it, wind makes it so much that.

• 49:19Adam Sosnick?

  No way. I would lose my mind.

• 49:20Patrick Bet-David?

  The way they build the property.

• 49:23Adam Sosnick?

  It gusts the New York winds.

• 49:25Speaker 03

  Leaning power of pizza in New York City?

• 49:27Patrick Bet-David?

  On average, some buildings move three feet because of the wind.

• 49:29Speaker 03

  I'm good.

• 49:30Patrick Bet-David?

  But yes, I mean, you can go verify this.

• 49:32Speaker 03

  What?

• 49:32Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm not telling you. It's not like you think.

• 49:33Speaker 03

  Buildings are rocking?

• 49:34Patrick Bet-David?

  One of the most important things that they figured out in the 60s when they started building high rises, that buildings need to move around three feet. Okay, they need to sway or else they break. So they build, guys, I don't want to go into architecture.

• 49:47Speaker 03

  You're not, I know, because he's so good. This is so funny.

• 49:50Patrick Bet-David?

  But they build these things.

• 49:51Speaker 03

  The sway and wind, gotcha.

• 49:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Up to 36 inches. There you go. Design threshold is 36 inches due to extreme weather. So they're saying that one is even more. So imagine you're like, so how was dinner? So what are we doing tomorrow?

• 50:05Speaker 03

  That mom's mommy.

• 50:06Patrick Bet-David?

  How long can you do this? So people are like, I don't want to buy that property because you don't want to do this all day long. Can you imagine like the, you know, the fish is kind of going like this and the aquarium, everything is kind of moving. You put the drink here, eh, no, no, it's mine, eh, it goes over here. But so, so there's not that many customers. You're getting free money. I think it's a dumb move. I think this is their way of lowering property value and it's absolutely double dumb. And they're going to force more people to leave and come to states like Florida.

• 50:29Speaker 03

  I was just going to ask you this, Pat. At, at one point, once these type of, uh, laws and rules that they're putting in, once more people start leaving, where are they going to get all this money from that they're trying to tax, tax, tax, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich and give to the poor? How, what happens when that happens when they go, guys, we're trying to get the money. We're not getting it because everybody's leaving and moving to places like Austin and, and Florida. Then what?

• 50:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh.

• 50:53Speaker 03

  Because it's happening.

• 50:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Vinnie, it is so hard to get people back.

• 50:57Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 50:57Patrick Bet-David?

  To come to your state.

• 50:58Speaker 03

  Once they're gone, they're gone.

• 50:59Patrick Bet-David?

  It's so hard to get them back. See, it's different than losing a customer. You go to a restaurant, like I used to, you know, this, this, uh, uh, I'll give you a crazy story. Okay, I'll give you a crazy story. We go to this local yacht membership place on Fort Lauderdale. Okay? When we go to this place, our neighbor says, come take a look at this place. All right, so we go. I think I told you this story. Like, did I tell you this story or no?

• 51:23Speaker 03

  Couple of months, about a month ago.

• 51:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I go there. So it's me, Jen, the kids. And Jen's trying to find, so we get the tour. This guy named Shane has given us the tour. Okay? So I'm like, all right, cool. Here's what it looks. I've been to this event before. School put a couple of events. I've been there before. It's an interesting, it's a nice place. It's a nice place we can go eat. So I'm like, all right, let me see if the kids, my biggest thing is, let me see if the kids are gonna like this place or not. So, I'm minding my own business, we come, we sit down, we're eating, and then Shane comes, I just want to let you know, the membership is gonna be uh, twenty-five thousand dollars and fourteen hundred bucks a month. So you do the math, what is that?

• 51:58Speaker 03

  Don't, don't, I don't know.

• 52:01Patrick Bet-David?

  But you do, how much you paying per year?

• 52:02Speaker 03

  I can't even do that.

• 52:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Roughly forty K?

• 52:04Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Forty thousand dollars, give or take, with everything, little over forty K, okay. Well, long story short, we're sitting there, Brooklyn, Dylan and Senna go over there to play by, uh, this park.

• 52:17Patrick Bet-David?

  In the Four Lotte Del Yacht Club, they come back, they, they're, they're a little bit, uh, uh, uh, what's the word, flustered?

• 52:23Speaker 03

  Uneasy?

• 52:24Patrick Bet-David?

  They're a little bit like, I'm like, what happened? Oh, uh, somebody just came in and screamed at Brooklyn. I said, what? Yeah. What did they say? Get off the tree. Get off the tree. Get off the tree. I said, who said, and Brooklyn looks a little bit scared.

• 52:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 52:43Patrick Bet-David?

  I looked at Dylan, I said, Dylan, who said that? Some guy said that. Did he really raise his voice? Three times at Brooklyn. Senna, did he really raise his, have you ever heard Dylan and Tico, Senna tell you something like this? Never. By the way, this event has never happened in my life.

• 52:55Speaker 03

  Mm-hmm, yeah.

• 52:56Patrick Bet-David?

  So I'm like, huh, point at the guy that did this. Our waiters, great. Shane's done a good job to giving us the tour, he's a, what do you call it? Uh, one of these, uh, what is that, CrossFit type of guy, in shape, good guy, good story, we're talking about my torn ACL, all this stuff. They point at the waiter, and I'm looking at the waiter, Renier or some name like that, whatever his name is. So as he's going by, Jennifer at this point is like, here we go.

• 53:22Speaker 03

  She knows it's coming.

• 53:23Patrick Bet-David?

  I say, hey, can I talk to you when you get a chance? I'll get to you. I gotta drop this off. No problem. He goes over there, drops it off, then comes back to me. I said, did you raise your voice at this four-year-old girl right here? No, I just told her, I just told her respectfully to get off the tree. Dylan and Senna are looking at me. Said I'm gonna ask this one more time. Did you repeat yourself three times? Yeah, I just wanted to make sure she got off the tree. Because I didn't want her to be on the tree. I said, you're a waiter, you're a bartender, you're telling her she's gotta get off the tree? Yes, I was respectful. I said, so why are you getting so nervous right now? I told him. Yeah. I said, why? How was he acting in that moment? He's hyperventilating. I said, why? I said, Dylan Senna. Did he ever say, get off the tree in a respectful, raise his voice?

• 54:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Dylan's like, he raised his voice. Senna, he raised his voice. I said, so you're telling me they're lying right now? Your kids are lying. Oh my, in front of them.

• 54:13Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, he accused them of lying.

• 54:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I said, so let me get this straight. Your memory, Shane is asking me for forty thousand dollars at this Four Lauderdale Yacht Club. It's not like you're asking for ten thousand dollars, five, you want forty grand. And this the kind of service I'm gonna get? I said, this is a problem for me. He leaves, runs off in the middle of the conversation, goes back to the bar, I see he's talking to everybody. Shane finds out, bartender, my waiter that we tipped him sixty-six percent, he goes, grabs Shane, and a manager comes. Guy named Jay comes. Jay's the manager, GM, African-American guy, so he's trying to do his customer service, how to win friends. And influence people.

• 54:49Patrick Bet-David?

  And then I said, hey, here's what happened, I'm not comfortable with that, you want me to pay forty K, that guy's gonna, if he's gonna be serving my family and friends that I come here, I don't trust them making drinks for my guys. Of course. So then I say, hey, show me where this place is at. So the manager goes and takes the bartender, they're in the corner talking to the bartender, they're kinda giving him a little bit of a questioning to find out what happens. I come around, I said, show me what tree it is. Vinny, it's two palm trees in the middle like this. So she's hanging on to the two palm trees like this and standing there. What does Brooklyn weigh? Thirty pounds. Thirty pounds, right? So then, I'm about to leave, we have to investigate this. I go out there talking, I said, I said, Shane, can you come here for me? I said, Shane, look at that camera. Vinny, the camera's eight feet off the tree.

• 55:33Patrick Bet-David?

  I said, before, I said, there's another camera over there, so I'm recording this to show him, these are the different cameras that you have. You understand what I'm doing? Of course. I said, I need you to tell me a report on how it was, because you have it right there, you can see exactly what happened. Great, we leave. We're gonna do an investigation. I never hear back from anybody.

• 55:54Patrick Bet-David?

  But guess what Shane text me? Shane text me? And he says, "My GM's gonna give you a call. It was totally uncalled for that server at the restaurant to say anything at your daughter, but maybe to be careful. She was just being a kid and playing like kids do. However, I'm going to ask you to not base your decision to become a member on that, as I know you have a great opportunity to create many great memories here." You still haven't addressed the issue. You still want me to pay you $40,000? Right. It's a salesperson. So I said, "Jay hasn't called me yet. Jay calls me." He says, "We looked at the video." I said, "What happened?" "We gave him a pip. We wrote him up." I said, "He's still there?" "Yeah." I said, "Is this all you want to tell me?" "Yeah, that's it. No problem. I'm out." "You'll never see me again at this place." "But can they maybe win me over if Jay is not there, Shane is not there, the other guy is not there?"

• 56:39Patrick Bet-David?

  "Yeah, maybe in 10 years." Yes. So meaning, you can win people back when things change, except for states. You can't win people back with states. Because when people leave, they have to put their kids in a new school. They get a new house. This is the dumbest idea I've ever heard with what New York is doing right now to their regular folks. A million dollars may seem like a lot of money in Arkansas. It may seem like a lot of money in South Dakota. It may seem like a lot of money in you know, Idaho. Million dollar home in New York City is nothing. Like he explained earlier with his girlfriend. So with, you know, his friend, you have stuff like that. We're just friends now. Yeah, I know, we're just friends. So anyways, we'll see. That was a quick shout out to, for a lot of the yacht club. 100%.

• 57:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Jay, Shane, I was kinda disappointed with the way you handled the situation at a place that expect me to pay you $40,000. And we would have become a member with you. We actually look forward to it. But there's no way in the world that guy's gonna make drinks for me and my friends when I come over there. Don't trust that guy. And don't trust your decision making. So let's move on. Let's go to the next thing. Alright, so next thing I want to get to here is Trump, over the weekend tweets. "Trump killed the number two ISIS guy."

• 57:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Out of nowhere, everybody's minding their own business and Trump puts out one of his tweets. And I was hoping it was gonna be a video because we wanted to hear Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Dead, die like a dog. We didn't get that, but we got a tweet. So we have to do this with visualization of him doing it that way. Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and armed forces of Nigeria, flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorists in the world from the battlefield, Abu Bilal al-Minouki. Second in command ISIS globally, thought he could hide in Africa, but little did he know, we know, we had sources who kept us informed on what he was doing. He was no longer, he will no longer terrorize the people of Africa

• 58:33Patrick Bet-David?

  or help plan operations to target Americans. With his removal, ISIS's global operation is greatly diminished. Thank you to the government of Nigeria for your partnership on this operation. Tom, why is this so important?

• 58:45Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, here's what they've done. They've demonstrated that you can run, but you can't hide. And what they did here, they just took out a leader. This is not a casual guy. This is not a guy, Vinny, that was just down there, you know, you know, with some other group of ISIS saying, hey, you need a hand this weekend? You know, you're gonna be doing some things? No, this was the number two guy in a strategist. And what this demonstrates is that A, our intelligence knew where he was. B, we cooperated and we worked with Nigerian forces. And C, we came inside and we offed him. We did what needs to be done. I shouldn't say offed him, like some mob hit.

• 59:27Patrick Bet-David?

  There's actually a video.

• 59:28Tom Ellsworth?

  In war, we came in and we terminated him. And so what you have is very simple, Pat. You know, we can get you and they just got to leadership. Now, is other leaders gonna fill in the void? Sure. Are there other ISIS fighters were there? Sure. Do we need to find clusters of ISIS fighters? Like the time Donald Rumsfeld was asking a reporter, said, well, there's gonna be hundreds of people that are ISIS that are protesting in the street here. Really? What day and what time and what are those coordinates?

• 1:00:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:01Adam Sosnick?

  For Trump saying where are they gonna be? So I, I think this is, this is a good thing. Uh, there needs to be more of these surgical strikes of these kind of leaders, Pat. Because they, they're the ones wreaking the havoc and we need to send a message to ISIS.

• 1:00:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Vinny, why is this important to you?

• 1:00:18Speaker 03

  It's, it's extremely important to me, Pat, especially because it's what this guy was in charge of doing to the Christians in Nigeria. I'm so happy that this story is back. The one thing that, that actually disappointed me is CNN, all these other networks, not a peep. And here be like, everybody knows we could, I, I love how people are, you guys, there's nothing Trump could, could do wrong. I criticize about the war. I don't like how, how, how it was going. I criticize about Epstein. I'm, I'm furious that it's not coming out. Put all that aside. If you can't acknowledge when he does something great, give me a break. With all the stuff that's happening, with the war, getting off of a plane from China to try to make peace deals, to try to do this, try, try to do that. Cuba, Venezuela, everything, close the border.

• 1:01:02Speaker 03

  With everything that's happening, you can't take a second and go, okay, this guy stopped the number two guy, guys in all of ISIS and killed him. The guy that was burning churches, the guys that was wiping out freaking families by the thousands, okay? And nobody's saying anything. So I, I, it just, it's frustrating that when somebody does good, you can't give them credit where credit is due. I love this freaking move and it was silent. And by the way, this is right when he got back from China. So good for him. Another, and by the way, the fact that his name was Abu is hilarious.

• 1:01:30Adam Sosnick?

  Abu. Uh, well, this is another version of what Trump, or what I've called stability through strength. You know, the whole doc, doctrine of peace through strength, I think is a little outdated. We're never gonna have peace with ISIS. We're never gonna have peace with Al Qaeda. Hey, Al Qaeda, how you doing? You know, the top 10, uh, Terror groups in the world are all Muslim. You know, I'm sorry to inform you. ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, the Houthis. But that's terrorizing all the region. Who kills the most Christians, though? Specifically? The vast majority of Christians are no longer in the Middle East.

• 1:02:14Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know if you've heard that. Jews have all have to leave this country. Now Christians are leaving this country. The one country that actually did have Christians was Lebanon. We're seeing what's going on there. But who kills the most Christians? A lot of that happens in Africa. So ISIS is number one on the Christian kill leaderboard. Number two is Boko Haram. You've heard of them. Number three is Al Shabab. And number four is the Taliban. And then we have Al Qaeda. So a lot of the Christians that are being killed are in these African countries. And this is essentially what needs to get done for stability through strength.

• 1:02:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I like it. I like seeing this. By the way, Rob, if you don't mind, a correction. And if you can add this to the clip of me talking about the Fort Lauderdale Yacht Club. Jennifer, just correct me. It's the Coral Ridge Yacht Club. I want to make sure the right place is getting the shout out. This is the place that Shane and Jay allowed that waiter to handle my four-year-old daughter the way that they did screaming at him three different times. I want to make sure Coral Ridge Yacht Club gets the right recognition for the criticism, not Fort Lauderdale Yacht Club. Those are two different places because Fort Lauderdale is the yacht capital of the world. I have to make sure I get those right. Rob, make sure you cut this and put it in the other clip. I want to make sure Coral Ridge gets the proper shout out that they deserve, that they got. A few weeks ago, I was hoping to be handled in a different way. Okay, all right, let's get to next story. They're probably going to be like, what the hell is going on here?

• 1:03:33Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, that's right. If you're the Fort Lauderdale Yacht Club.

• 1:03:35Patrick Bet-David?

  People get fired. You allow a place. And you know what I asked him? I said, listen, if you guys are going to treat four-year-olds like this, don't even let kids here. Say adults only. I'm okay with that. But if you're going to allow a place like this to have kids, you better learn how to deal with four-year-old kids. If you don't know how to deal with a four-year-old kid, how the hell are you going to handle a 40-year-old? So very disappointed. I'm sure you can't tell from my emotions, but...

• 1:03:55Adam Sosnick?

  No, you're very stoic.

• 1:03:55Patrick Bet-David?

  It is what it is. All right, so let's go to the next one. While this is going on... And all these conversations are being had. Long Island strike, 300,000 people are being affected. It's one of the top three stories. If you look up the top three stories, this is one of the top three stories. Hochul is blaming Trump on this because of what's going on. I'll just read it to you. Trump and Hochul clash over Long Island's rail strike impacting 300,000 New Yorkers. And I'll just kind of read it to you. And Rob, if you can play this clip. Failed New York State Governor Hochul, Democrat, just blame me for the Long Island Railroad strike. Do you have the clip on that one as well, Rob? Both of them? Or that was more of a tweet?

• 1:04:32Adam Sosnick?

  I think that was a tweet. I'll look for it.

• 1:04:34Patrick Bet-David?

  When she knows it. So along 3,500 Long Island Railroad, LIRR, workers were sent on, went on strike on Saturday after negotiations over a new wage agreement fell through. The LIRR workers' first strike in over 30 years and a halt in services expected to impact over 300,000 commuters. New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority, MTA, has encountered with a 3% wage increase proposal citing concerns that further increase could cut into city and state's budget, raise rate, fare rates for passengers. Here's Hochul. Go ahead, Rob.

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

• 1:06:42Adam Sosnick?

  This potential strike was needlessly accelerated by reckless unprecedented action from the Trump administration. Don't forget that.

• 1:06:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, here she goes.

• 1:06:52Adam Sosnick?

  They thwarted the mediation process, which is what the normal course of business would have been, and perhaps brought us to a better place by now. But be it as it may, I must be prepared to respond. And when I became governor, this railroad was struggling. Ridership post pandemic was down, and there were calls to right-size the service, which means cut service. I took a different approach. While our revenues were down, I knew we had to create a better customer experience to get more people to come back on.

• 1:07:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, yeah, because you're very good at keeping customers.

• 1:07:28Adam Sosnick?

  The railroad again to work, or their everyday business.

• 1:07:30Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't lose customers at all to other states.

• 1:07:32Adam Sosnick?

  So instead of right sizing service, I invested in the Long Island Railroad.

• 1:07:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:07:37Adam Sosnick?

  While other systems have cut service.

• 1:07:38Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause it right there, Rob. Let's go to Trump's tweet about this, because I know she's for three minutes. And I honestly, I want the audience to have a good day today. Failed New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, Democrat, just blame me for Long Island strike when she knows full well that I have nothing to do with it, never even heard about it until this morning. She just blurted out, it's President Trump's fault. No, Kathy, it's your fault. And now, looking over the facts, you should have, you should not have allowed this to happen. If you can't solve it, let me know, and I'll show you how to properly get things done. This would have been an easy one for Bruce Blakeman. He should be your next governor, and New York State would turn around fast, including far less crime and much lower taxes. Kathy, call me. If you can't do it, I will get it done. I know all the players, great people. And you know he does when he's saying this, Tom. Why is this such a big story?

• 1:08:24Tom Ellsworth?

  ...story because you know what it shows? That, yeah, the Dems can't run a business. And, and I hate to say it like that. I hate to be so blunt. But this is exactly what's going on. And now, the funny thing is, the Dems take money from unions and say, "Oh, just go with us, go with us, go with us, blindly go with us, just throw your support behind us, bad Trump, bad Trump, anti-Republican, anti-Republican." Until, there's a strike. And during the strike, do you know where they were, Pat? The Metropolitan Transit Authority in New York City agreed to give them a nine and a half percent wage hike. That's what they agreed. You know what they were asking for? They were asking for 10 and a half to 11. Look how close they were.

• 1:09:08Tom Ellsworth?

  But then the union woke up the next day and said, "You know what? We've been looking at the healthcare prices and we think, instead of a 2% increase in healthcare, we really need that to be a 10% increase in healthcare." And then they're like, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I thought we had an agreement over here and we're going to do some retroactive raises." "Nope, screw you, we want more." So just when the MTA came forward to give that nine and a half percent, they moved the finish line and they said, "The union ran over here." Well, guess what? Kathy Hochul, you take union money in your election. Go talk to the union boss and make them play ball. Work with them. But instead, no, it's Trump's fault? Sorry. That's why this is so big, Pat.

• 1:09:52Tom Ellsworth?

  The hypocrisy of it is so stark. And there's 300,000 people a day. And then New York City, you know what New York City said? "We're going to have additional bus service today." You know what the additional bus service offered? 12,500 extra riders. You know what the Delta with L I E, the L I R R shutdown? 226,000. So really, thank you so much. "Hey, we have extra buses for free. There'll be free buses, extra buses." Yeah, for 12,500 people and you got 226,000 people. And by the way, people were interviewed by CBS New York saying, "Listen, I can't work from home. I'm a teacher. There's two weeks left in the school year. I simply have to get to the city to my job."

• 1:10:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam?

• 1:10:36Adam Sosnick?

  I mean, it's the same thing we always hear. When you have no arguments, there's two words that you could use in the Democratic Party that will always get you votes.

• 1:10:44Tom Ellsworth?

  Blame?

• 1:10:45Adam Sosnick?

  Blame Trump. Do you ever, this is random, I just thought of this, you ever watched South Park back in the day? They had this song where they go, "What should we do?" Blame Canada? Blame Canada! And they, "Blame Canada!" And it basically took over. It's like, "What's the problem? I don't know, just blame Canada." The Democratic Party is the blame Canada version of Trump. Perfect. All they want to do is blame Trump. Tell me what Trump has to do with the Long Island Railroad, with Kathy Hochul and Mamdani and their socialist policies. New York, what does he have to do with it? And then Trump, who is not shy, goes, "Look at these Democrats." That's what he calls them these days. "They're dumb, they're Democrats."

• 1:11:26Adam Sosnick?

  Quote-unquote, "I have nothing to do with it, and in fact, I never even heard about it until this morning." So it's like, okay, who's lying? Is Trump lying? Or is Kathy Hochul lying? I'll let you be the decider right there.

• 1:11:40Speaker 03

  And you notice how I just said in the previous segment, when somebody does something right, give them credit. What can you name something that they're doing right? It seems every single thing that you hear, Pat, from California and New York, nothing is positive. It's promises made and none of them are being kept. I feel bad for the people that are there. Yes, they voted and they thought that they got sold on it, but give me some progress. If your entire message is, "Hey, all of you guys, we're gonna grab the richest people and take all their money and give it to you guys," and then they're leaving, what the hell's the message? What are you standing on? And Tom, this is horrible. I have a lot of family that lives in New York. This is affecting a lot of freaking people, and I'm just, it's just perpetual. Bad news, bad news, bad news. Give us something positive.

• 1:12:23Adam Sosnick?

  Hey, hey!

• 1:12:24Speaker 03

  It's driving me crazy.

• 1:12:25Adam Sosnick?

  The Yankees are doing good.

• 1:12:26Speaker 03

  Yeah, but it's still pretty early.

• 1:12:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Not the last two weeks.

• 1:12:29Speaker 03

  Not the last two weeks.

• 1:12:29Adam Sosnick?

  Hey, I'm sorry, guys. I tried to give you something positive. The Knicks are going to the Eastern Conference Finals.

• 1:12:34Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, the Pistons lost yesterday to Cavs because of Donovan Mitchell playing lights out, which is great, which will, I know, and listen, I know you guys want us to have two hours of sport. Thank you. And I, I, I want to deliver for you, but just be patient. The survey was so funny. It was hilarious. We want all sports is what we want. All right, let me get to next story. Let me get to next story. Next story is UK. Keir Starmer, rough weekend. I think it's fair to say this is a rough weekend for. Understatement. I'm not talking personal life. I'm talking like it was a rough weekend for him. Yes. With what happened. So this is London, all because of one guy. Some call him, he says, I'm a small guy, but he's got a big heart. Tommy Robinson. Look at this. Look at this. And they're like, nah, it was only 5,000.

• 1:13:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Nah, it was only 50,000. Nah, it was only 100,000. I don't know how many it is. But the way Rob is zooming this out slowly, like it's foreplay. He's not going fast to show you. Look, look, look at this as it gets all the way out. That is benign. How many people showed up? Rob, can you just zoom out a little bit faster to see where it's at? Look at this. And by the way, look at this. Vinny, that's crazy. I thought that was AI. That's crazy what happened. Good for you, UK. So while that is going on, Tommy is going out talking about what's going on at the streets. Same exact thing with the United King Rally with Tommy Robinson. Is this Keir Starmer responding to it? Yes, sir. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:13:57Tom Ellsworth?

  Tomorrow's march in London is a reminder of what we're up against in the battle of our values. The organizers, including convicted thugs and racists.

• 1:14:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Doesn't want to say his name.

• 1:14:09Tom Ellsworth?

  Are peddling hatred and division. Plain and simple. Their goal is to convince people that Britain's problems are caused by those living alongside them. But that is not the Britain that I know. This is a country built on decency, fairness and respect. A country that is at its best when people from different backgrounds come together in common purpose. This is our country with a majority who share those values. A majority who may not.

• 1:14:40Adam Sosnick?

  Not always be as loud.

• 1:14:41Patrick Bet-David?

  What's Nick Young?

• 1:14:41Adam Sosnick?

  But must always define who we are. So my government will not stand in the way of.

• 1:14:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, this is a nice video, nice motivation.

• 1:14:49Speaker 03

  I love the shot, and he's looking out the window with notes. They're like, look outside the window, like you're really focused on.

• 1:14:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, while he's doing this. I like the heavy club music. Rob, can you get to the tweet saying that he's gonna be stepping down? I don't know if you saw that or not. There's a, there's a, not even a tweet. I think there's stories saying that he will be stepping down here anytime. There was even videos of him walking and just walking very fast to get away from all the people. Is that it, Rob, with Trump commenting on Keir Starmer? Yes. Go a little bit higher. Uh, uh, what does that say, Lomich? Because it's a minute forty-three, just in. Starmer's developing plans immediately to step down. Per Daily Mail, good, the UK needs a leader. And here's what the president had to say about it. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:15:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Starmer, the prime minister there is in a lot of trouble. I know you were asked about this. Well, he's in trouble for two reasons, energy and immigration. He's very bad on energy. He should open up the North Sea. He's got a coal mine and he should open up oil in the North Sea, and he doesn't. It have a tremendous value. It's, you know, they buy their oil, a lot of it, from Norway. Norway gets it from the North Sea. Not as good an area as Scotland and the UK has. So they're paying Norway a fortune for oil that they take out of the North Sea. Do you think Starmer's gonna survive as prime minister? The tough thing, unless he can straighten out immigration where he's weak.

• 1:16:04Tom Ellsworth?

  And if he doesn't start drilling, stop with the windmills all over the place that are causing havoc. They're causing havoc. Most expensive form of energy. They kill the birds, they're unsightly, they're ruining the landscape. If he doesn't stop with the windmills, he's got to do energy. Got to, he's got to open up the North Sea. You know, he's got one of the greatest oil finds anywhere in the world, and he's not using it. And I tell him that he's not using it. Should he quit? The oil companies call me every day, please, please, we want to go to the North Sea. He doesn't allow it to happen. Should, should he quit? I, I don't say that. He's, I think he's a nice.

• 1:16:41Adam Sosnick?

  Man, actually, but uh, I mean, I didn't like what he said. We're gonna send ships as soon as you're finished with the war, as soon as you're, well, we're sort of finished militarily, pretty much. But we, you know, David, we are.

• 1:16:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Can pause it right there. By the way, what a beautiful analysis. But one thing most people don't know is I think, I think Norway's got seven trillion dollars of oil reserves. That's their money that they're counting on long term. Can you verify that? Is it a total of seven? But what is the dollar, two dollar amount? Like if you do it in dollars?

• 1:17:14Speaker 03

  Seven billion barrels.

• 1:17:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Seven, uh, what is a dollar reserves? Yeah, there you go. There was a, uh, uh, six point nine billion barrels for a total of two point two trillion dollars. So to Norway, long term, they're like, look, all this shit happens, all this stuff. The way we're gonna be protected is we got all this oil. So he's going through them. Tom, why is this such an important story with what's going on in UK?

• 1:17:34Tom Ellsworth?

  I'll tell you why it's important because did you know that the prime minister, there's no term limits in the UK? Absolutely no term limits and there's also no, and there's also no like forced election. There is a date. They must have a next election, not later than, um, I think it's August 15th to 2029. Three years from now. So the big thing here is he doesn't have to leave, but generally what happens in the UK, Pat, is you get together, you say, look, my party lost. We need to make a no coalition government. So they all vote for the new coalition government and you have a new prime minister. Well, if the Labour Party has a vote of no confidence, then Starmer has to leave.

• 1:18:18Tom Ellsworth?

  But technically, Pat, he could just stay there and be stubborn and not call an election and be there until August of 2029. And so that's what's going, going on. He could voluntarily resign and say, look, my party lost this election. We lost a lot of seats. Clearly the people of the UK want this. I'm gonna step down the majority party here. We're gonna elect the prime minister here. But unless parliament as a whole, Pat, votes no confidence, 51% votes confidence or his Labour. party says, hey, we can't do this. And those would be patriots that say, hey, look, for the good of the UK. We just lost all these seats. We can't continue. We can't just stubbornly stay here.

• 1:19:02Tom Ellsworth?

  So I think there's it's very important. And what Trump said, I think, is correct. Whoever the leader of the UK is, Trump just outlined what the people of the UK need. They need energy, they need safety, and they need immigration reform.

• 1:19:17Adam Sosnick?

  Adam, go ahead, Vinnie. I'm just pulling one thing.

• 1:19:19Speaker 03

  Well, just Pat, I mean, like, just go down the resume of Keir Starmer. Just go down. And I know that you said you wanted to show something with Pat. The amount of people that these guys arrest for just saying things online.

• 1:19:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you pull up that tweet, Rob? This is important on what you just brought up. Go to my Twitter account. This is something very important, Vinnie. I'm going to stay on you, but I just want to show this because go a little bit lower. That chart right there, look at this. But look at this.

• 1:19:44Speaker 03

  That is.

• 1:19:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Countries with most arrests for online comments. Number one, UK, 12,183. Belarus, 6205, Germany, 3,500, China, 1,500. UK is more than China. Of course, if you trust China's data, what they report. Then it's Turkey, 500, Russia, and we're at 50. I want to know what those 50 were that got arrested here. But UK, 12,183 arrests for online comments. Vinnie, continue, please.

• 1:20:11Speaker 03

  And it's so so add that to like, like, let's just be honest. The immigration that you have, the the purposeful invasion. He wants to call it immigration. The people have had enough. God bless every single person that took to the streets. I think it's a little bit late. I'm still happy that they did it with the one of the main things, Pat, that people were saying was that he let in all these people. And then, when these same people are raping the women, the children of freaking UK, it's no, no, you guys are racist. Don't talk about it as racist. Oh, the Pakistani rape gangs? That's the title of these people? We're not going to proceed to press charges and go after them because we don't want to look racist as a nation. Really?

• 1:20:53Speaker 03

  Try saying that to the mother or the father of the daughter that was raped by these Pakistani rape gangs that you let into the freaking country. And then you have people like, like. Tommy Robinson screaming at the rooftops, he's racist. He's racist. You have peers on the show when he's holding up the Quran, he's like saying, "This is the type of stuff that's in the Quran. Put that book down. You're racist." Enough. Enough, okay? It's gone to the point, and there's only so much that people are gonna take that they're gonna do it. Good for him. He's not a leader. He's a weak, weak leader with all the friggin' consequences, Pat, and I'm happy that he's done. Hopefully, hopefully, they don't choose a guy that's just like him.

• 1:21:28Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, you know who else was there at Tommy Robinson's rally? Nick Shirley.

• 1:21:31Speaker 03

  I love that.

• 1:21:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Nick Shirley was there. Elon Musk jumped on again. He was just back at it again. Adam, thoughts?

• 1:21:36Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I was actually just texting with Nick because I wanted to get a comment from him, and I'll tell you what he said. But Tommy Robinson put this incredible event together. Nate Friedman, who does a lot of street interviews, just like Nick Shirley, we've covered him before, he's in New York. This was my favorite sign. Stop calling people racist when they don't agree with you. It's getting boring. The racist thing, the fascist thing, Trump's a king thing. It's just getting boring. We've heard it before. What Keir Starmer said, what I think people are so upset about is, and this is what Nick Shirley had to say, is they keep referring to the people that show up to this rally as far-right. There's the far-right. They're the far-right. Here's what Nick Shirley said, and this is essentially what they're saying. He goes, "These people are not far-right."

• 1:22:22Adam Sosnick?

  He's like, "I interviewed all types of people, black, white, men, women. They just want their country back, and there's three basic premises." He said, "Stop it with the open borders and the immigration. Can we please stop this?" Trump talked about that. Talked about censorship and free speech, basically what you just pointed out, right? Just like that. And they talked about the climate change and the global warming and the scam that basically has taken over and not basically doing drill, baby, drill. And what did Trump say? Does drill, where? In the North Sea, I believe he called it? But at the end of the day, when you're calling the everyday British citizen far-right just because they love their country and they want to fly their flag patriotically,

• 1:23:04Adam Sosnick?

  it just is getting boring. And the average person, I would hope, is looking at this being like, "I just want to live in my country and enjoy my heritage and my legacy, and you guys are trying to ruin it." So shout out to everybody, and shout out to Tommy for putting this event together.

• 1:23:18Speaker 03

  What do you think, Matt?

• 1:23:20Patrick Bet-David?

  What do I think about this?

• 1:23:21Speaker 03

  Yeah, what Keir's?

• 1:23:22Patrick Bet-David?

  To me, the question is the following. The question is, when you don't pay attention to your kids' friends...

• 1:23:31Patrick Bet-David?

  And you kind of let them lose and they all of a sudden, I remember this one kid, we were at Wilson Junior High School. And this one guy told this story when I went to school last week, and there was this one guy who comes up and he offers cigarettes to us.

• 1:23:46Speaker 03

  Who's this?

• 1:23:47Patrick Bet-David?

  In school, Wilson Junior High School, I'm 13 years old.

• 1:23:50Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:23:51Patrick Bet-David?

  And one of my good friends was there and he says yes. Then after that, it led to alcohol, then after that it led to weed, which is so far, that process is very usual. We know a lot of friends that went from cigarettes to alcohol to

• 1:24:04Speaker 03

  Weed.

• 1:24:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Weed or alcohol, cigarettes, weed. What comes after weed?

• 1:24:08Speaker 03

  Cocaine.

• 1:24:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Cocaine normally comes after weed, maybe you speed, maybe special K, maybe LSD, but you know, usually coke is right up there as what's next, right? And what typically comes after coke?

• 1:24:19Speaker 03

  Sometimes meth and then smoking it.

• 1:24:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Sometimes meth and then smoking it, but then sometimes you go to the club, you're doing G, you're doing the caps of G.

• 1:24:26Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:24:27Patrick Bet-David?

  And then you're, you got K and then you got, then you get into the pills, then you're in the pill game. Then you got Xanax, then you got Vicodin, then you got all this other stuff and then you're dead. Okay? And if you don't get there early, it's too late. You know, you know what is one of the hardest drugs to get off of, two the hardest drugs to get off of?

• 1:24:47Speaker 03

  Alcohol?

• 1:24:48Patrick Bet-David?

  No. Two the hard, alcohol is one of them to get off of, but it's normally pain medication when you're talking about like Vicodin and stuff like that, because it's like heroin. Opioid based. Opioid based, it's hard to get off of it because your body's like begging for it. Give it to me. UK right now is, I don't want to say this point of no return, but they're at a place that you almost need a massive crisis that's already happened to happen for them to not go there. And by the way, Vinny, you know what's crazy? As we talk about New York City with Mamdani and what's going on there? What, what is the previous financial capital of the world before New York City?

• 1:25:31Patrick Bet-David?

  We've been, New York City's been financial capital of the world for a hundred plus years. You know who was prior to that? London.

• 1:25:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:25:36Patrick Bet-David?

  You know for how long? Hundred years.

• 1:25:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:25:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Give or take. Okay? So, so if we don't pay attention to what's going on there, it's about to happen here. And by the way, say even all these people leave New York, New York State, the billionaires leave. And they come here, the job, the millionaires leave and they come to states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee, all that other stuff. But there's still a state.

• 1:26:01Patrick Bet-David?

  They're one of the 50 states.

• 1:26:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:26:02Patrick Bet-David?

  And it's gonna spread. You don't think they're gonna say, "Let's do it to the other city." You don't think behind closed doors, they make targets and they say, "Let's go target them." AOC gave a talk yesterday, which was disturbing to me. I'll typically listen to AOC, I'm like, "Okay, I'm a social socialism all this stuff." I totally get, that's economical. But look at this speech. This is a very weird speech that she gave yesterday.

• 1:26:26Speaker 03

  Was it behind the bulletproof glass?

• 1:26:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes, go ahead, Rob.

• 1:26:28Speaker 03

  What is she saying?

• 1:26:29Adam Sosnick?

  Time for the North to pull up to the South.

• 1:26:34Adam Sosnick?

  It is time for New York to pull up to Alabama. It is time for all of us to come to Georgia, to Louisiana, to Tennessee, to Mississippi, and let them know exactly what they have on court with this injustice. They think they can draw us out of power.

• 1:26:54Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, FYI.

• 1:26:56Adam Sosnick?

  They do not know the sleeping giant that they just awakened.

• 1:27:01Adam Sosnick?

  Because it is not a coincidence, and our whole country must understand, that it was not until voting rights were ratified in this country, that we got the great society.

• 1:27:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Is she reading a teleprompter? Doesn't look like it.

• 1:27:15Speaker 03

  No.

• 1:27:16Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what that means?

• 1:27:17Adam Sosnick?

  And that vote is protected, our schools get funded. When voting rights are protected.

• 1:27:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, you can pause it right there.

• 1:27:24Speaker 03

  She's got strategists, she's got coaches, and she's learning.

• 1:27:27Patrick Bet-David?

  It's time for the North to pull up to the South.

• 1:27:29Speaker 03

  You're talking about civil war?

• 1:27:31Adam Sosnick?

  No, I didn't interpret it like that.

• 1:27:34Patrick Bet-David?

  To me, a message like that, period, means what? It means, well, what was North and South about?

• 1:27:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:27:41Adam Sosnick?

  Well, that was, well, I didn't.

• 1:27:43Speaker 03

  Well, that's.

• 1:27:43Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you interpret?

• 1:27:44Speaker 03

  Yeah, how do you not say, take it the way that I said? What is she calling for?

• 1:27:48Adam Sosnick?

  I'm not endorsing AOC at all. It seems to me, she's talking about redistricting and gerrymandering and sort of playing the game of politics. Look, what AOC and the current Democratic...

• 1:28:00Adam Sosnick?

  Socialist party want to do, they want to fundamentally change America. Fundamentally, they don't believe in what the founding fathers believed in. They don't believe in everything that was in the Bill of Rights. They want to fundamentally change everything and they want to use the victim game.

• 1:28:15Patrick Bet-David?

  You took that from that message to you? How do you take that message?

• 1:28:19Adam Sosnick?

  You're taking it as she wants to do a civil war?

• 1:28:20Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm not, I'm not saying she's saying civil war, you just have to be careful with your words. That is a divided division of America on her messaging. No part of that message to me is a message of, so again, you just have to pay attention. You asked me a question about UK, where it's at, you asked me about London, previous finance. Then it comes to New York, where is AOC at? What borough is she at?

• 1:28:44Adam Sosnick?

  She's in Brooklyn.

• 1:28:45Patrick Bet-David?

  She's in Brooklyn, okay, New York City. So now her and Mamdani are from where? New York City, what type of noise are they making in the current financial cap of the world? So you, it's a slippery slope that Americans, I hope, pay attention. By the way, this is a part of why we, why we do what we do here. People ask me, can I ask you a question, you have all this money in the world, why do you, why do you sell merch? We have to fund the company. If I fund it based on the money that I have, we run out of money and you need to be a part of it as well. If you support media company, the other guys are making money, I can take sponsorship money and just every other thing is an ad. Then we have to, we want to be able to share what's on our mind because we are concerned about XYZ being the issue long term. This is one of them.

• 1:29:28Patrick Bet-David?

  We, it's the fight's gonna be a collective effort of realizing, watch what's going to UK? That's a case study of what's coming here. Watch what's going on with these other kids, then you're teaching your kids. This could happen to you if you make some bad decisions. Do you remember this Saturday night, we went to dinner to drive back?

• 1:29:43Adam Sosnick?

  Yes, amazing.

• 1:29:44Patrick Bet-David?

  How intense was that?

• 1:29:46Adam Sosnick?

  You know it's intense when the ride is over and we're still in the car for 20 minutes. At the end of the ride, we don't get out of the car.

• 1:29:52Patrick Bet-David?

  The messaging, the conversation.

• 1:29:53Speaker 03

  Absolutely.

• 1:29:54Patrick Bet-David?

  How many those has happened when we're coming back with the boys?

• 1:29:56Speaker 03

  A few.

• 1:29:57Patrick Bet-David?

  A few of them?

• 1:29:58Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 1:29:58Patrick Bet-David?

  This was a different one, though.

• 1:29:59Speaker 03

  This was a very, very good one, because now they're at a different stage of their life. Now it's like 14, you know what I mean, like 12, like it's getting there.

• 1:30:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he talk to you about it yesterday or no, when you guys were out? Did it come up at all or no?

• 1:30:10Speaker 03

  No, not, no, it was, it was, it was other conversations, but not like that.

• 1:30:14Patrick Bet-David?

  But to me, it's, it's just realizing that if you're not, like, I'm a, I'm a future look sprite guy, but only the paranoid survive is a mentality you gotta have. Americans gotta be a little bit more paranoid right now. You gotta be a little bit less tolerant of BS in your life when you're just kinda sitting around saying, "That's not a big deal, it's gonna be okay." Let, let me continue with this as we're going to the next story. Over the weekend, Iran hits UAE's only sole nuclear power plant that they have, Iran. It's so bad while this happened, that the president, I believe, was golfing in Virginia at one of his golf courses. Rob, if I'm not mistaken, you can correct me on this. He's at Virginia golfing. This takes place. He has a 30-minute call with Netanyahu. There's a bunch of calls taking place.

• 1:30:58Patrick Bet-David?

  And I even believe today there's a meeting that they're gonna have in the Situation Room, and tomorrow something could happen with the whole thing. Rob, is this the clip about what happened at the, uh, uh, nuclear, uh, plant? Is this the one?

• 1:31:09Speaker 03

  Yes, this is a report of the phone call between Netanyahu and Trump regarding that story.

• 1:31:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it, go for it.

• 1:31:14Adam Sosnick?

  It's true to say that the air of expectancy has been cranked up a couple of notches here in Israel today. As you mentioned, President Trump talking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this evening. They reportedly talked for about 30 minutes, and then shortly after that, President Trump taking to social media to tell Iran that, yep, time is running out. "Time is of the essence," he said. But with a stalemate still in place, Netanyahu, Netanyahu holding a security cabinet meeting tonight with top military leaders and advisors to discuss the next move. All of this coming as reports claim the US and Israel are making intense preparations for renewed attacks against Iran.

• 1:31:58Adam Sosnick?

  The Iranian Foreign Minister, meantime, says another...

• 1:32:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Another attack makes no sense if the US and Israeli military have already, as they claim, destroyed the country's nuclear facilities. Listen to this. It's almost like he's egging them on. These contradictory statements truly indicate the depth of America's confusion regarding their objectives in this war. He's got this really, by the way.

• 1:32:19Patrick Bet-David?

  So Iranian state TV also has been showing video today of government supporters, some receiving defense trading inside of mosques, weapons and all. Yeah, because that's a normal thing that happens when I go to church on Sundays.

• 1:32:34Tom Ellsworth?

  Exactly, I get bazooka training right before the song.

• 1:32:37Patrick Bet-David?

  AK-47.

• 1:32:37Speaker 03

  Grenade tossing after choir.

• 1:32:40Patrick Bet-David?

  That's Catholic church.

• 1:32:41Speaker 03

  Catholic church, yeah, Humberto was there.

• 1:32:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so.

• 1:32:44Tom Ellsworth?

  Remember, don't do step seven indoors, wait till you're outside.

• 1:32:46Speaker 03

  Outside.

• 1:32:47Patrick Bet-David?

  So when you, when you see this, Tom, when you see this, Tom, where are you at with something taking place? For Iran, the clock is ticking and they better get moving fast or there won't be anything left of them. Time is of the essence. I think these tweets honestly are no longer having any impact, these tweets here. And you know what they said yesterday? It's as if they're watching a podcast. You know what they said yesterday? They said Trump's day to get this thing done is June 14th. Did you hear about this?

• 1:33:14Speaker 03

  That's his birthday, isn't it?

• 1:33:15Patrick Bet-David?

  He says because, exactly, he says they have to get it done before his birthday and the World Cup. We know that's when he has to get it done.

• 1:33:21Speaker 03

  Weird.

• 1:33:22Patrick Bet-David?

  So it's, because you better believe that, I mean, we know of each other, like the, the community. We're in communication with them for, you know, while we're not ready to talk to you right now, we're not ready to do podcasts right now. But what's the, the reality of it is, they're kind of getting aware of how much time Trump has and they're using that against him. So what's my point? My point is, if you're gonna do something, stop dragging it out to the World Cup. If you're gonna do it, do it now. If you're not gonna do it, they're not gonna negotiate with you. And the president, when he went to China, you know what he did say? He says, "We don't need China's help." I don't know if you saw that or not, Tom. Says, "We don't need China's help." If he wants to help, great, but we don't need China's help.

• 1:34:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Xi asked him allegedly, Rob, fact check me on this, Xi asked him allegedly, "Let me know if there's anything we can help you out with on Iran's end."

• 1:34:13Speaker 03

  Oh, really?

• 1:34:14Patrick Bet-David?

  "Let me know if there's anything we can help you out with on Iran's end, because we would like the Hormuz to open up, it's better for the world." Xi's words. Xi's words saying something like that, so.

• 1:34:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, why is this so important? Can this escalate? Do you think these tweets of saying this is the last chance you're gonna get is getting old?

• 1:34:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Um.

• 1:34:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, there you go. Reports that Xi offered help and during the conflict, Trump said Xi told him if I can be of help, I would like to help. However, the reporting suggested Xi's offering diplomatic assistance, discussions about reopening the strait of Hormuz. Go ahead, Tom.

• 1:34:47Tom Ellsworth?

  So, you know, there's only so many times that you can make a tweet like this. It does appear that the Iranians are just trying to wait this out now. And we hear stories about, I mean, a week ago, we had, there's, we're on one piece of paper and we have 14 items. And then one side rejects seven, the other side rejects eight, and we didn't get anywhere. So, right now, and then we heard over the weekend that Trump said that China pledged not to sell weapons to Iran. Well, you gotta be careful with those words. Are they not selling finished weapons, but they're still shipping tons of sodium piclorate, which is the, the, the, the salt, it's a salt product, which is the basis for rocket

• 1:35:32Tom Ellsworth?

  fuel that they use in the rockets? Are they still doing that? So, I, I don't know. But I don't see these things, I don't feel tension anymore at Pat. And also, we were watching the markets, the, the financial markets in London and the US, the FTSE, all of them were moving on these comments. Now, you don't see the markets moving as volatility. Remember, you would have one comment and the market would go, whoom. And there's that, one day, we had oil all the way back down to, help me if I'm wrong, I think it was all the way back down to like 92. So, and where's oil right now? 105 or something like that right this morning, as I saw? I'll tell you right now, 105.24 West Texas Intermediate was the open and...

• 1:36:17Patrick Bet-David?

  West Texas, Rob. Is the West Texas?

• 1:36:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep.

• 1:36:21Patrick Bet-David?

  You're right.

• 1:36:22Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm showing, that's crude futures, that's a NYMEX, but West Texas US oil is still at 106.

• 1:36:27Patrick Bet-David?

  There it is. 105.88.

• 1:36:29Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep. So, there you go.

• 1:36:31Patrick Bet-David?

  It is a bump though, Tom. 106 is a bump.

• 1:36:35Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't think that's a bump?

• 1:36:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 1:36:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so.

• 1:36:37Tom Ellsworth?

  That's, it's up today.

• 1:36:39Patrick Bet-David?

  And you know.

• 1:36:39Tom Ellsworth?

  Down $2, it's up.

• 1:36:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you see the clip? Did you see the clip where the president's being asked about? Yeah, they showed me the new ask in the first sentence. I said, no, I don't want to read the rest. And you know, I'm not a first word. What was the first words? I don't need to tell you. I just wasn't happy about it. So what, well, you're, they said, you're not happy about the 20 years. And he says, no, I'll do with the 20 years, but I don't like the first words, what they said. So they are going back and forth. At what pace? I don't know. I just know that he has, you know, when you're negotiating, Vinnie? You have a, you have a number in your mind. Where for him, do you think the president has a day? You think he's a calendar topic guy? I think he is.

• 1:37:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you think he has a day that says, if by this day, they know not, they do nothing, we're attacking? Do you think he has a day?

• 1:37:30Tom Ellsworth?

  I think so.

• 1:37:30Patrick Bet-David?

  I think he has a day. I think he has a day or an event. And I even think he knows where to attack, attack and what to attack. Remember, Carig Island, they hit a few different things, but they didn't hit what they could have hit to hurt everybody.

• 1:37:43Tom Ellsworth?

  They stopped.

• 1:37:43Patrick Bet-David?

  They haven't hit bridges. They haven't been going after like, you know, they hit one bridge in Carriage. If you remember that one carriage bridge that they built, the newest carriage bridge that they hit. So they've hit a few different spots, but he's hold off a little bit. Is this it about the first sentence, Rob?

• 1:37:57Tom Ellsworth?

  Yes.

• 1:37:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it.

• 1:39:13Speaker 06

  Kayak! Search and compare travel deals with Kayak. Got that right.

• 1:39:19Adam Sosnick?

  That was a very historic couple of days, I think. A million days.

• 1:39:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Sir, I know there'll be a lot of questions around the China trip, which is first on Iran. Have you rejected the latest proposal from Iran? Or where does that stand?

• 1:39:33Adam Sosnick?

  I looked at it, and if I don't like the first sentence, I just throw it away.

• 1:39:39Patrick Bet-David?

  What was the first sentence?

• 1:39:41Adam Sosnick?

  An unacceptable sentence. They're fully agreed, no nuclear. And if they have any nuclear of any form, I don't read the rest of it.

• 1:39:49Patrick Bet-David?

  So 20 years is...

• 1:39:50Adam Sosnick?

  That was a very historic...

• 1:39:51Patrick Bet-David?

  There you go. So, Adam, your thoughts on this?

• 1:39:54Adam Sosnick?

  Well, you made a reference earlier. And there's a book that I think that the IRGC and the Ayatollahs could read, and that's called "How to Win Friends and Influence People", because they're losing it one by one by one. You started the story saying, who did Iran attack now? The UAE.

• 1:40:11Patrick Bet-David?

  UAE.

• 1:40:11Adam Sosnick?

  So they're attacking their neighbor.

• 1:40:12Patrick Bet-David?

  They're so nuclear plant, a drone.

• 1:40:14Adam Sosnick?

  So, listen, I respectfully, I agree with you on one thing, and I disagree with you on one thing. I fully agree with you, Trump has a date of when he's going to get in and get out by. I don't think it's going to, I don't think it's June 14th. I have it a little bit closer to August, because that's three months before midterms, August, September, October. That's kind of my number. But there is a number. However, if you just take Trump at his word... What is the one thing that he's been getting criticism of this past week? The Democrats were saying this on Meet the Press. Trump said, "Yeah, I don't care. I don't care about anything other than Iran will not have nuclear. Oh, what about Americans and gas prices and the economy? Yeah, it's not my main concern.

• 1:41:00Adam Sosnick?

  Iran will not have nuclear." Have you seen this reaction?

• 1:41:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 1:41:04Adam Sosnick?

  So let's just take Trump at his word. He's not messing around with the nuclear. So at the end of the day, I mean, here's what Rubio had to say in terms of waiting Trump out. So if you want to take Rubio to his word, he goes, "Number one, unequivocally, we're doing the world a favor with what we're doing." They honestly believe that, so let's take them at their word. But then Rubio said, "We're not going to let domestic politics get in the way and have us pressure us to make a bad deal on Iran. We're not, AKA, you may have to pay a little bit more at the pump right now. We're not going to put a bad deal together from domestic issues and gas prices." So he also said to China, "Yeah, we don't, we're not asking for China's help at all here."

• 1:41:49Adam Sosnick?

  Because China is basically feeling the pressure on the Strait of Hormuz more than anybody. But at the end of the day, Pat, you mentioned this as well. I think the Trump card, at the end of the day, if Iran does not come to the table and negotiate, they're going to blow up Carg Island. They have that card and they're basically saying, "That's the nuclear option."

• 1:42:12Patrick Bet-David?

  I would take over Carg Island.

• 1:42:13Adam Sosnick?

  Whatever they end up doing.

• 1:42:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Blowing up Carg Island. You take it over. You go and just say, "We're going to take this thing over."

• 1:42:19Adam Sosnick?

  Even better.

• 1:42:20Patrick Bet-David?

  And if the Gulf states support you, and this is the way you do it. You know how you do it? You go in there and you say, "Hey, Gulf states, let's do partnership, 50/50. I'll put a military base there. I take 50% of revenue. I share the rest with you guys. Anybody comes through, $2 million, but we share it." Gulf states are gonna be like, okay, great. And then if Iran wants to participate, guess what? You can come in as well, but I'm building a military. But I'm taking control of Carg Island.

• 1:42:46Patrick Bet-David?

  This won't be the first time or the second time we've done this. We were, every time there's a war, the average person who is not following that story learns about history. And you learn about different areas. You know, you, you, you learn about, oh, my God, you know, Panama Canal, why is it so important? Oh, shoot, I got it. Oh, my God. China, why is it so important? Uh, kind of the A C, all the stuff that we wrote. Oh, my God, why is Taiwan so important? Well, all these chips, Nvidia, TSMC, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company that's, oh, my God, why is Malacca straight? Why is straight, why is, you're learning, you're learning about what's going on. We're learning how important this thing is. And we'll see where that goes. So, uh, Tom, did you give your thoughts on this? You already did, right? You gave your thoughts on this. Let's go to the next story.

• 1:43:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Next one I want to get to is climate change. Folks, I don't know if you've noticed, it's deeply concerning for folks like Al Gore, AOC, and Greta Thunberg, that the climate changes. It goes up, it goes, it gets colder, it gets warmer. But something bad happened to the climate change enthusiast this weekend. Trump celebrates U N's climate committee moves away from the most extreme global warning scenario. President Trump took a victory lap on Saturday with this tweet. Good riddance, after 15 years of Democrats promising that climate change is going to destroy the planet. The United Nations Top Climate Committee just admitted that its projections, its own projections of R C P eight and a half were wrong, wrong, wrong.

• 1:44:15Patrick Bet-David?

  For far too long, climate activism has been used by Democrats to scare Americans, push horrible energy policies, and fund billions into the bogus research programs. Unlike the Democrats, who use climate alarmism nonsense to push their green news scam. My administration will always be based on truth, science, and facts. The United Nations-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had quietly adjusted its modeling framework. A four to five degrees Celsius warming by 2100 last month. The framework had un- Underpinning my rate of other analysis predicting terrifying consequences for greenhouse gas emissions, and they are getting this wrong. Tom, how big of a deal is this?

• 1:44:56Tom Ellsworth?

  This is huge, but this is really kinda like, it's kinda like COVID. It's like, alright, all the evidence now points to the fact that the virus was in a lab in Wuhan. The virus was released from the lab in Wuhan, either deliberately or accidentally, and then it spread around the world thanks to air travel and migration of people. And that's what happened, and a bunch of people died. So, we all know this. We all know that to be true. And we could debate over how much did Fauci know, when did he know, when he didn't? He was involved, and he knew a hell of a lot. We can all debate that, but we now know it's true. Similarly, Pat, we've been debating this for a while on climate change, and I

• 1:45:40Tom Ellsworth?

  tweeted a week ago, it was, you know, we're all dead, so I know that no one can be reading this tweet. And I tweeted the note about that by this date in the future, we were all supposed to be dead because of climate change, and the oceans flooded everything, and we're gone. I said, being that we're all dead, no one's gonna be reading this tweet. And so, now, this is very significant. Now, they're actually having to pull back. But you remember, climate change never had anything to do with climate. This is what climate change had to do with. Had to do with control, globalization, and wealth redistribution. And that's why they're like, well, wait a minute, I have an idea, Vinnie. To pay for

• 1:46:25Tom Ellsworth?

  your sins, you know, the Catholic Church used to have indulgence. You can pay for your sins. I have an idea. Why don't we do this? Carbon credits. You can pay for your pollution. That'll make the world not as warm, because you'll give him money in terms of carbon credits, because you're doing too much. He'll give you money, and look, we're making money for you. Wait a minute, but if it's doing that because they're polluting anyway, then they're just moving money around, has nothing to do with the climate change? Oh, we'll get back to you. But it was, it was always control and it was wealth redistribution and it was phobia and it was globalism. And now it's out in the ocean in like it's out

• 1:47:08Tom Ellsworth?

  there like the ocean, so big you can't ignore it. And there it is in the light of day, Pat. They, they can't, they can't deny it. All of their dates have come and gone. Things have happened and it's all been disproven. So now it's, it's just like COVID, Pat. No. You're, you're at a point where you can't run from it anymore. Vinny.

• 1:47:26Speaker 03

  So wait, you mean it, Thomas, just so I'm, because it's, you know, it's kind of early when you got in here. We got, I woke up about five o'clock in the morning. Are you trying to tell me that this is another Democrat lie, fraud, scam? Do not tell me that's what you're telling me.

• 1:47:40Tom Ellsworth?

  It's bigger than that. It's global liberals.

• 1:47:42Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 1:47:43Tom Ellsworth?

  It's global liberals.

• 1:47:44Speaker 03

  Well, Tom, they kept pushing this, but it's the fear. You call it, Pat, the fear porn, the doomsday model. It's gonna end.

• 1:47:50Tom Ellsworth?

  You weren't taught climate change in school.

• 1:47:52Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:47:52Tom Ellsworth?

  It's called seasons.

• 1:47:53Speaker 03

  Yeah, this, yeah, the four, four, summer's here. Oh, my God, the climate change. But I think it's, it's, and I'm happy that, you know, the president brought it up. I mean, politicians to activists to Greta Thunberg. Think about it. Greta Thunberg, the one that was crying, they, they grabbed that girl, they put her as a poster child, literally. And she's like, ecosystems are collapsing and people emotionally get attached. And then what happened to her? She knows that she was completely exposed and she jumps from that to a completely different cause. She's on a flotilla, you know, getting captured by.

• 1:48:22Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm gonna chain myself to a truck stopped in the middle of a highway.

• 1:48:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, exactly. Nobody can, like, no, it's, it's, it's, they're, they're, they're hoping that people's emotions get people attached to. But Tom, you see it. How many times you see it? AOC complaining about the world ending like you said. Bernie Sanders saying that the world's gonna end. Al Gore and Pat, if you, if we can, do you remember Dan Pena who was, who was asked by an Australian woman? She's like, what's the, the global warming and everything's gonna come? Can we quickly play this?

• 1:48:48Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, you can play it.

• 1:48:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, I'll play this at a little bit fast speed.

• 1:48:50Speaker 00

  What's it gonna do when our ocean level rises? Thank you for asking that question. I have the answer now. I have the answer. Well, thank you for the question. Yeah, okay. For the first time on earth, we're changing the gas? Now you're full of shit. Sit down. I'm gonna answer you. If that were really true, which you believe, and let's just for a moment, say that it is true. That means that the

• 1:49:08Adam Sosnick?

  Best scenario vis a vis global warming is about 10 feet raising water. That's the best scenario over the next 40, 50 years. That's the best scenario. If the water on the planet is going to rise up 10 feet, that means the southern part of the United States is gone. England is gone. Most of Europe is gone. And I can go, uh, most of Central America is gone. Let's just take Florida, for example, which is one of the fastest growing condominium, beachfront condominiums on the planet. In the prospectus, when you invest, there should be, in the footnotes, if global warming is for real and water rises 10 feet, this investment you made is fuck all. Not one single investment prospectus written this century has alluded to global warming. Not one motherfucker. If it were really true, the banks wouldn't invest. The banks wouldn't finance. Not one motherfucking condominium. And I'm, I'm jealous of the vice president.

• 1:49:50Speaker 03

  He's jealous because Al Gore, so my question to you, Pat, property owners, is that true in the prospectus they would say, don't give Patrick McDavid X amount of money because we know that it's going to flood in X amount of years.

• 1:50:01Tom Ellsworth?

  Benny, I don't worry about the prospectuses. Pat and I know. I only worry about the underwriting and the insurance carriers because they don't lose money.

• 1:50:09Speaker 03

  So that, so that's what I'm saying.

• 1:50:10Tom Ellsworth?

  They're the house. The house doesn't lose.

• 1:50:11Speaker 03

  So if, so, so what he's saying is, is true in that if that was the case, all this, all this fear porn, then why would a bank give you money if they knew in 10 years and 20 years, you're not going to have a house and it's all going to be underwater?

• 1:50:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Adam was talking about, um, South Park earlier. He made a reference to it. And South Park also went after Al Gore. Do you remember man, bear, pig?

• 1:50:32Adam Sosnick?

  Of course.

• 1:50:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Half man, half bear, half pig. Man, bear, pig is coming. And the little kids came up to him and said, you're just making all this crap up so that everybody can get really scared and then give you a bunch of money. You are full of crap. That's what the, you know, the little, the little third graders come up to him. And this was Al Gore trying to scare the world about man, bear, pig. And it was so true. You've created this thing that was just, just complete BS.

• 1:50:56Speaker 03

  Well, you name it, Tommy, and the fact that they say the climate solution always involves government more power while Americans get, have to pay more for gas, electricity and food.

• 1:51:05Tom Ellsworth?

  Give money to those people and you're fine.

• 1:51:07Speaker 03

  It's unbelievable. And I'm so happy. And again, you said these bad ideas, at some point it, it gets flushed out. People wake up and they go, okay, you're lying. And speaking of Massie, Massie would even expose John Kerry in front of Congress, which was awesome. Awesome. It's a, it's a scam. It's a scam.

• 1:51:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Adam.

• 1:51:25Adam Sosnick?

  Trump was right again. You know, the whole famous quote, Trump was right about everything? Here's another one that he can put in a feather in his cap. Remember when he did the UN speech? And I said, sort of controversial, I said, that might have been the most important speech that he's ever given.

• 1:51:39Speaker 03

  Was it the?

• 1:51:39Adam Sosnick?

  The UN speech. He basically highlighted three things that are all manifesting. This is happening. He said, the, the, the, the climate change is a scam.

• 1:51:47Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:51:48Adam Sosnick?

  And they just verified it.

• 1:51:49Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:51:50Adam Sosnick?

  Based on this report.

• 1:51:51Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:51:52Adam Sosnick?

  Number two, the, you guys, the, the UK, France, EU, the open border policy, you're ruining your country.

• 1:51:59Speaker 03

  Yep. Two for two.

• 1:51:59Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, two for two. And the energy, drill, baby, drill, oil is gonna run the world, three for three. So here's my, uh, advice to everyone out there. And I'm just gonna simplify this. You could follow Trump as an archetype, or you could follow Greta Thunberg.

• 1:52:18Speaker 03

  Toberg.

• 1:52:19Adam Sosnick?

  Greta Thunberg, much like Trump has been right about everything, she hasn't been right about anything. Nothing this girl has said or ever done has been right. Nothing that she's advocated has been right. And then she was sort of like, put on a pedestal when she's 12 years old, because she's like, I care about the climate and the globe. Everyone's like, oh my God, Greta.

• 1:52:40Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:52:41Adam Sosnick?

  But did, did, by the way, she's 23 now. We get to, did they want to talk about the fact that she's like weird and autistic? And she doesn't know what she's talking about. It's a socialist.

• 1:52:48Speaker 03

  Great bang.

• 1:52:48Adam Sosnick?

  And a globalist, and she's a free Palestine. I mean, that's what she is.

• 1:52:51Speaker 03

  Is this guy?

• 1:52:52Adam Sosnick?

  No, that's, that's Greta, sir. That's Greta, sir. Yeah, that's her. That's her now.

• 1:52:56Speaker 03

  Are you joking?

• 1:52:57Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, that's her.

• 1:52:57Speaker 03

  That's Greta Thunberg.

• 1:52:58Adam Sosnick?

  So here's my suggestion, everybody, since she's been wrong on everything.

• 1:53:01Speaker 03

  Seriously, this is.

• 1:53:02Adam Sosnick?

  This is it. This is her.

• 1:53:03Speaker 03

  A girl with bangs. She bangs. She bangs.

• 1:53:05Adam Sosnick?

  That's her. That's her now.

• 1:53:06Speaker 03

  Greta Tintin.

• 1:53:07Adam Sosnick?

  By the way.

• 1:53:07Speaker 03

  Her name is Tintin. I seriously thought it was a guy like.

• 1:53:10Adam Sosnick?

  No, no, no, that's her. Rob, I sent you something. Do you remember there was a movie back in the day?

• 1:53:14Speaker 03

  Hate for someone to cut your hair.

• 1:53:14Adam Sosnick?

  Called Kingpin? With Woody Harrelson.

• 1:53:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:53:18Adam Sosnick?

  And they gave up, they made a quote was like, he said, you got munsened.

• 1:53:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:53:24Adam Sosnick?

  He's like, what, what do you mean? He's like, yeah, when something doesn't go your way, you get screwed. You get munsened.

• 1:53:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:53:29Adam Sosnick?

  So I want to advocate to all my friends out there, even the Gen Z folk that fell for this scam. From now on, when something just goes blatantly not your way, you got Thunberg.

• 1:53:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Thunberg.

• 1:53:40Adam Sosnick?

  You got Thunberg.

• 1:53:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Go to next.

• 1:53:42Adam Sosnick?

  There it is.

• 1:53:42Tom Ellsworth?

  She's from Sweden?

• 1:53:43Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:53:44Patrick Bet-David?

  She's a.

• 1:53:44Adam Sosnick?

  She got munsened.

• 1:53:45Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm looking at this website, Swedish bikini models, she's not there.

• 1:53:48Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't want to, I'm not going to come to everybody on this one, but I just want to show this year that's very interesting because you have to, you have to pay very close attention to what kids are doing. Uh, 11 years ago, 10 years ago, when Snapchat came out, I was in Hawaii, sitting next to a girl named Phoebe, who was Kahindi's daughter, she's now a model, she's doing great things. She told me about Snapchat and I kept asking, what are kids following in school? Tell me about what social media kids are doing, all this other stuff. Eric Schmidt has given a speech, commencement speech. And I don't know if I've heard this type of boo. When he starts praising AI, it's worse than what the other lady did last week. Go ahead, Rob.

  Is this Arizona State?

• 1:56:24Speaker 05

  You will help shape artificial intelligence. We do not know. We do not know the precise contours. If you'd let me make this point, please.

• 1:56:36Speaker 03

  No. Oh, my God. That's horrible.

• 1:56:41Speaker 05

  If you don't care about science, that's OK, because AI is going to touch everything else as well. Whatever path you choose.

• 1:56:48Speaker 03

  Jeez. Read the room, buddy.

• 1:56:50Speaker 05

  When work is done, you can now assemble a team of AI agents to help you with the parts that you could never accomplish on your own.

• 1:56:58Speaker 03

  Jeez.

• 1:56:58Speaker 05

  When someone offers you a seat on the rocket ship, you do not ask which seat. You just get on. The rocket ship is here.

• 1:57:07Speaker 03

  Do you think he has specialists? Absolutely not.

• 1:57:10Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, you have to know, this is one of the worst.

• 1:57:13Speaker 03

  Oh, my God. I couldn't. I didn't see it.

• 1:57:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Booze I've heard. And by the way, I just went online right now. I said, what are the top 10 worst university commencement speeches that got the most booze ever? It showed to me that Betsy DeVos was one of them at Bethune-Cookman University. And this is in 2017.

• 1:57:31Speaker 03

  OK.

• 1:57:32Patrick Bet-David?

  So you have to know, this is right after Trump. OK? That was down here. Yeah, that was down here. Then you have another one that was Harrison Butker. I don't remember him getting booed, actually. I actually remember him getting a lot of support. Then it was Gloria Caulfield in University of Central Florida. She, and this, by the way, two out of the top four most booze are in the last week. Gloria Caulfield was the one that we showed last week, again for AI.

• 1:57:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Then it goes to Jerry Seinfeld, 2024.

• 1:58:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Dozens of students walked up protesting the pro-Israel stand, that was that. Claire Shipman, Columbia, you have to pay attention to what upsets them, right? Her speech was overwhelmed by chants, boos, and again, pro-Palestinian boos. Jonathan Hyde, 2026, known for criticizing Gen Z and smartphone culture, booed him onstage, organized protests before the ceremony, accused NYU of platforming someone hostile to students. Condoleezza Rice, 2014, about the Iraq war. Mike Pence had one that people walked out on, and RFK regarding vaccines. So, Tom, what are kids worried about when they're talking about? The way I interpret it is they're trying to say, you're taking our jobs away. You're taking our futures away.

• 1:58:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, do you have the clip of what Anthropic said AI is gonna do to unemployment? Anthropic CEO, you won't have it here. While I'm going to Tom, I'll look for it and I'll send it to you. I didn't post it in my notes. So, Tom, why is this becoming a pattern of kids booing the topic of AI?

• 1:59:06Tom Ellsworth?

  Two things are happening with people that are graduating right now. Number one, they're trying to find jobs. And the economy is tightening on the hiring. There are some segments that are still doing well, but there's tightening. There's also layoffs happening at Meta. A lot of layoffs are gonna be clarified this week. Meta is gonna clarify who's in, who's out, Vinnie. So, if you're at Meta right now, you're waiting for that, and these kids are seeing that. And they're like, well, where the hell am I gonna go work? Now, Arizona State is not like Stanford. God bless, excuse me, this is University of Arizona. The University of Arizona is not like Stanford. God bless University of Arizona.

• 1:59:43Tom Ellsworth?

  They are ranked the number 127th school in America and the number 63 public school. So, Pat, this is a decidedly mid-tier school. But why is Eric Schmidt there? Of all the places he could go speak? I'll tell you why. Because they are number one and number two in MIS. University of Arizona is ranked number one or number two in the United States among public colleges are number one and our national universities are number two. So this is a college, Pat, that has a lot of kids in that audience that are in MIS, that are going to be graduating. Hey, we're going to hear Eric Schmidt speak. Hey, that's pretty cool. We've got a great program here.

• 2:00:27Tom Ellsworth?

  And somehow, the Board of Regents has got Eric Schmidt to come speak at a graduation. But what's on these kids' mind is jobs. And what they're hearing is that AI is going to take your jobs. And they're hearing about a lot of layoffs going on in tech, Pat. And so this guy comes up, starts talking about AI. They immediately boo it. He doesn't really read the room. You know, I'd love to ask Eric this. Maybe you could sit down with us and talk because it's like, what did you hear and what were you sensing when you turned around and said, well, you know, that's the future and this is science? Because they were really going after him pretty hard. But that's what I think, Pat. I think these kids have heard a lot and they're nervous and they're out there trying to find jobs.

• 2:01:09Tom Ellsworth?

  And here comes this guy talking about the very thing that they're nervous about.

• 2:01:13Patrick Bet-David?

  I think you have to be aware of it. And I think it's different than political. This is not Palestine, free Palestine. This is not the Iraq-Iran war, the Iraq war with Condoleezza Rice. This is their careers. This is their money. And here's what Anthropic CEO had to say. Go ahead, Rob. About what AI is going to do with unemployment. Watch this, folks.

• 2:01:32Adam Sosnick?

  ... is the signature of this technology is it's going to take us to a world where we have very high GDP growth and potentially also very high unemployment and inequality. Now, that's not a combination we've almost ever seen before, right? You think of it as high GDP growth, that's lots of stuff to do, lots of jobs for everyone. It's always been like that in the past. We've never had a technology that's this disruptive. So the idea that we could have 5% or 10% GDP growth, but also, you know, 10% unemployment, it's not logically inconsistent at all. It's just never happened that way before. And I'm really quite, you know, for those both reasons, excited and worried.

• 2:02:17Adam Sosnick?

  If I take an example, something like AI coding.

• 2:02:22Adam Sosnick?

  You know, the latest model we released, Claude Opus 4.5. Um, I have some, uh, engineers, some engineering leads within Anthropic, who have basically said to me, I don't write any code anymore. I, I, you know, I just let Opus do the work and I edit it. We just released a new thing called.

• 2:02:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Pause this real quick, Rob. Last Friday, you know who we just hired, our most recent engineer, probably the most qualified engineer we've ever hired. Would you agree with that?

• 2:02:49Tom Ellsworth?

  Absolutely.

• 2:02:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so I'm sitting in his office last Friday before the weekend comes.

• 2:02:55Patrick Bet-David?

  And we're launching, uh, uh, higher metrics, a calibration software that's gonna be revolutionary. Yeah, it's gonna be great. And he's showing me, so we're testing one part of it. And he says, okay, they find a mistake in it. I said, so what are you gonna do? He said, this is all I do. He took the entire code, the answer, put it in Claude, and he gave him a prompt, go fix this to make it cleaner. One minute and 59 seconds later, he fixed it, took it, code went in there. This is a coder. He says, as good, as good of a coder as guys like this are, you're not gonna be as fast as what that's gonna be doing for you. So that, that does now the job of five, 10 engineers like this where it's going.

• 2:03:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Some are saying it does the job of two or three, some are saying it does the job of five or 10. It's just gonna get smarter.

• 2:03:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Of course.

• 2:03:43Patrick Bet-David?

  So these kids are sitting there saying, hey, man, I know you guys are celebrating this. So the argument becomes, on one end, it's like, yeah, we have to beat China. Okay, do we beat China at the cost of all our kids losing jobs? I don't know. And that's the argument that's gotta be made. And that's what, and when last week Tucker had Kevin O'Leary on and they're going back and forth, that's a fair question to be asking. Do you do it at the cost of kids not having jobs? Kids are telling you they're worried about it. You know, you, you have to pay attention, at least hear them out and see. When the Anthropic CEO says unemployment could go to 10, NGDB could go high? It's something to be paying attention to. Let me get to this next story and then we'll wrap up. Uh, Rob, if you wanna pull up, um...

• 2:04:27Patrick Bet-David?

  I wish we could go into the Neymar story. Let me get into the Rogan Theo Von. So Theo Von is on Rogan's podcast. And he talks about the SS.

• 2:04:39Adam Sosnick?

  SSRIs.

• 2:04:41Patrick Bet-David?

  I think this is it. What he's talking about. He's been on them for almost 20 years. Rob, if you want to play this clip, go for it. It's all just a cat and mouse game. People are like, we'll like the Democrats next time. It's like, but it's all the same shit has been happening forever. They haven't been helping anybody forever. They're letting fucking politicians slurp on kids. All of our fucking money goes to Israel and they're using it to fucking genocide people. This is not it. This is when he says he's been taking medication since the breakup, Rob. This clip has nothing to do with. Did you find that one or no?

• 2:05:10Adam Sosnick?

  I couldn't. That's the clip that it kept showing me as to what started the conversation about his mental health.

• 2:05:17Patrick Bet-David?

  But does he say there about him being on medication for?

• 2:05:21Speaker 06

  No, Joe just says something like, hey, man, like he makes a comment on like how he's.

• 2:05:25Patrick Bet-David?

  No, that's not the clip. That's not the clip. To me, this is it. Go ahead. Is to get off of antidepressants completely, man. I want to feel how I'm supposed to feel so I can have thoughts and actions that. That like make me feel connected to the world. That shit makes you feel dead, man.

• 2:05:43Speaker 06

  So why did you take them in the first place?

• 2:05:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Cause I was in a bad relationship 20 years ago and I was having a tough day at school and they fucking put, they gave them to me and then I never got off.

• 2:05:54Speaker 06

  Really?

• 2:05:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Because when you get off, it's that, I think we talked about this once. It's hard.

• 2:05:58Speaker 06

  Yeah, it makes you more depressed and more fucked up and you're all in balance and you're, you know, probably you're addicted to them.

• 2:06:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, like one of my goals. So this, by the way, this is a lot of people that are on this. Then, then Joe talks about it on one of the clips, that clip right there, if you can go to it. Uh, yeah, I think this is the one. Go for it.

• 2:06:17Speaker 06

  Theo Von's going through the exact same thing. And last time I was on the podcast, he was explaining it to me. It freaks me out because I know Theo has had conversations before. Like even publicly, he had a Netflix taping and it didn't go well. It was like they actually never, they shelved it. They never used it. You know, there was all these stories from people that were there saying he bombed. I think he just had a kind of a breakdown. And then he was talking to the crowd and there's a video of it.

• 2:06:45Adam Sosnick?

  You know, the people were saying, hey, we still love you. He goes, thank you. Look, I'm just, I'm trying not to take my own life. That's what I'm trying to do right now.

• 2:06:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:06:53Adam Sosnick?

  And like, you hear stuff like that and you just go like, oh, Jesus Christ. I've known too many people that I didn't think were gonna kill themselves and then did. And then he goes down these spirals where he starts talking about world events and freaking out. I'm like, oh, Jesus Christ, like, I gotta help this dude. And so I send him things about people getting off of them. And apparently, there's some doctors that specialize in getting people off of them.

• 2:07:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Joe is, you can pause it right there. Joe is talking about what Theo is going through. Then Theo responds back to this. And here's what Theo has to say. He just had it a minute ago, Rob, that you had it up. Yeah, on the one with Theo reacting. And he says, this is mostly cap. Sad to see this kind of stuff. I'm doing great. I'm a human being, which is rocky ride, but I'm doing fine, thanks. Benny, how do you, how do you, this story went viral and, you know, we were kind of debating whether to cover it or not. But if it wouldn't get these kind of eyeballs, we wouldn't have talked about it. Why, why do you think this story did this well? And what's your perspective on what Theo is saying to Joe's feedback?

• 2:07:55Speaker 03

  Well, because, well, first and foremost, they're actually friends. They're not just podcasters that just go on a podcast and then they're done. Joe actually cares about Theo and his well, his well being. And I know Joe knows people in Los Angeles that have had, committed suicide. Brody Stevens, a hilarious quirky comedian that we all knew, committed suicide. Nobody even really knew that was him right there. Pat, how crazy is it? He was in Hangover 2, remember? He's standing on top of the, he was doing security on the, that's, that's, Brody, God rest his soul. And I think Joe genuinely, Pat.

• 2:08:32Patrick Bet-David?

  High rise, on top of the helicopter shows up.

• 2:08:34Speaker 03

  Towards the end of the movie.

• 2:08:35Patrick Bet-David?

  You're like, that's Brody, that's Brody.

• 2:08:36Speaker 03

  That's Brody. And, and this is, Joe sees the signs and I'm, and I get, bro. And I get Theo's point and he's like, hey, listen, I'm okay, I'm fine. That's what sometimes people say, Pat, that are going through it. You know what I mean? That are dealing with it. And I mean, if you've been on it since you were 20 years, Pat, because of one breakup and doctors. Gave it to you and prescribed it to you and you've been stuck on it? And now you're just trying to wean off of it? I don't think, I don't think it's gonna be good. I mean, public, I mean, Joe's on a podcast and he's talking about his friend. I think people, you know, blew it up a lot more than what it is, but Joe, Pat, you know Joe, we don't, he gives a damn about Theo. And by the way, that, that quick rant that we saw, I don't think that's necessarily him going on the rant and, and just see,

• 2:09:19Speaker 03

  cause once you see things, Pat, there's no unseeing. And if he feels like that about the government and he sees something about Gaza, that's him. I don't think it has a direct correlation, but the stand-up one was right. He did allegedly not do well on his stand-up for his taping, which Pat, you know, that's a huge deal. They're spending all this money, that's your, you have one or two takes, like either like an early two shows that day or one show that day and the next, I'm pretty sure it was, it was two in one day. And when you say something like, yeah, I'm just trying not to kill myself, you have to take it serious from someone that is on the SSRI. So that's my, that's my assessment.

• 2:09:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam.

• 2:09:55Adam Sosnick?

  Uh, I'm rooting for you, Theo Von. Uh, I've seen slowly but surely sort of the disintegration of your comedy career. I think we could all admit, one of the funniest, most talented guys that we've seen.

• 2:10:10Adam Sosnick?

  But I'm actually with Rogan on this and I'll tell you why.

• 2:10:14Adam Sosnick?

  Do you think Rogan is doing this because he wants to have beef with Theo? Do you think he's doing this because he wants to do something for clicks?

• 2:10:22Speaker 03

  No, he loves it.

• 2:10:23Adam Sosnick?

  Or is he doing this because he's genuinely concerned about?

• 2:10:26Speaker 03

  He genuinely gives a damn.

• 2:10:27Adam Sosnick?

  And I'll give you an example of where this might hit home. About a week ago, I told you a story about a friend of mine that was having trouble. And I told you that, um, he also lost his, his brother. And right after the podcast, and if you see this, hi guys, uh, his father watches the show, his father who'd lost his son, and now is concerned about his other son, watches the show. I didn't know he watches the show and ends up, my friend ends up sending me the clip that the father sent him, yada, yada, yada. Why? I brought it up because I'm concerned about my friend. And I've tried every way through Sunday to get this through your head. And just like Theo Von who said, I'm fine, man. I'm good. I'm just going through it.

• 2:11:09Adam Sosnick?

  Don't tell me what to do, bro. I'm good. Life's tough. I'm okay. That's what my friend always does. Hey, man, I'm good, bro. Today's a new day. Yeah, but it's like yesterday, you you said the same thing, you did it. I think Rogan loves his friend so much that he's probably tried to help him off camera so much that it's not working, that he says, I'm sorry, bro, I gotta, I gotta put this on camera because I'm concerned about you. That's my opinion. Because I don't think Rogan would do this intentionally to try to harm his friend. I think he wants to help his friend. Last point. I've been to a Theo Von show recently. In the same month, I went to two comedy specials. I went to Marcello's, which is Marcelo Hernandez,

• 2:11:50Adam Sosnick?

  biggest star on SNL right now. Number one on Netflix. It was incredible. I, I went to actually two of his seven shows. He did it and did it and did it and did it. And the last show they used for Netflix. And I went to Theo Von's. To say that I was unimpressed would be an understatement. And I'm thinking, Theo Von, this is gonna be great. So I think at the end of the day, we're rooting for Theo. He's got a, he's got a, he's a lovable guy. I think he should completely stay out of geopolitical, political affairs. He has no clue what he's talking about there. And that upsets him. He's probably an empath. He feels these things. I'm rooting for the guy. Hopefully he gets off drugs and these SSI's are no joke.

• 2:13:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so you know what happens when you lose someone? And you knew that the person was dealing with something, you don't tell anybody. The regret you get from losing someone, that you knew what they were dealing with and you're privately are like, I don't want to expose his private life to the public, I don't want him to do it. I don't know if in this case, it's close to that because it's not like he said it. Joe didn't say it, Theo said it. I've been taking these pills for 20 years since the breakup, then he said it on a show, I just want to not take my life. Those two things get people to think, those are not comments that people make regularly on any given day.

• 2:14:41Patrick Bet-David?

  But when you do lose somebody, and you know, you're by yourself, you're in the car, you're driving back, you get the news, you've already gone to the funeral, you've already done all that stuff, and you're like, what could I have done? That's a weight you don't want to carry. You just don't want to carry, right? We just had a friend of ours that died two weeks ago. One of my guys calls me. This guy was kept saying he's having chest pains, chest pains, chest pains. He never goes to the doctor, never gets anything checked out, has a heart attack, he dies. Tom, you know who this guy is? And he was actually one of our partners, and I'll tell you about it afterwards. And I talked to the friend, he's in tears, emotional, we're talking on a Sunday. I said, he says, Pat, we've been telling him, go to the doctor, go to the doctor, go to

• 2:15:26Patrick Bet-David?

  the doctor, he didn't go, right? Okay. Tom, first time he and I got together at 29 years old, 28 years old, Tom's like, "You gotta do an executive testing every single, every other year." I said, "At this age? Yeah, you should go do it every other..." So I started doing it. You know, and if you're, if you're above 40, you haven't done a CAT scan on your heart just to kinda see where your arteries are at, and I know Vinny, you just got yours done, and just to kinda get an ID, you kinda gotta go get it done, right? Scary as it is, you have to do it. It is. Yeah, know your plaque score, know your PSA score. All of that. So Joe is the leader of the pack for a lot of these comedians. He just is. He's the leader of the pack. Yep. As the leader of the pack, every once in a while, you have to say certain things that if people don't speak the language of a leader, they're not gonna know what he's doing.

• 2:16:07Patrick Bet-David?

  He is looking out, and sometimes you will say things in public because in private, it's not been working. So you say it in public to hope, you know you're gonna get all the, you know, the daggers that are gonna come for you. Oh, well. But that's a risk you're willing to take as a leader, cuz you're the leader of the pack. So, to me, I've seen him do this with Brandon Schaub, I've seen him do this with a few of his other friends, and every time you're like, "This guy's coming from a place..." I think Joe's a, a, uh, what do you call it? A kingmaker. He's a, he's a guy that's built a lot of people's careers, he's set them up a lot, he's given them the platform. Johnny Carson of our era. Literally. I think, I think he's got the moral authority to give this feedback, but I also understand for Theo to not like it. I think Theo's funny as hell.

• 2:16:51Patrick Bet-David?

  I've not been to the comedy part, so to me, it's different. To me, Marcelo's a stand-up comedian, but it's different for podcasts. I don't know if Marcelo's skill would translate into a podcast. I don't know. Yeah. I do know Theo's proven that he's a great podcaster. And he'll sit with anybody, and he's able to get the eyeballs, uh, to help people out. All right, so that's that part, I hope, uh, he figures it out. Uh, last thing I do wanna say with World Cup being around the corner, Neymar, man, Neymar's playing Santos yesterday, they lose 3-0, I thought he played okay. I thought he made some passes, I couldn't even believe the tops of passes he's making. And there was massive controversy, Rob. If you want to find a video of that, where he's sitting on the sidelines because he's getting stretched, he's getting a little bit of treatment from, you know, the team doctors.

• 2:17:36Patrick Bet-David?

  And then all of a sudden, they're making a substitution and the referee substitutes Neymar. Neymar is asked to leave the game. He's like, wait a minute. They're not calling for my number. They're calling for the other guys. He says, no, they're substituting you. He runs up and goes and pulls the ticket to show. This is it, Rob. He pulls the ticket to show TV because he knew people weren't going to believe him. Show the ticket, Rob. He says, look, it's not my number. It's the other guy. So the ref, and then guess what they do to him? They give him a yellow card.

• 2:18:07Speaker 03

  Why'd they take him out?

• 2:18:09Patrick Bet-David?

  The referee substituted 10. It was supposed to be a different guy. Neymar's supposed to go back in the game. And so this was a massive, massive controversy. As this goes, he ends up getting a yellow card.

• 2:18:27Patrick Bet-David?

  He's showing, I'm not supposed to be the one going out, okay? I've never seen anything like this before. Do you know why this is important? When does World Cup start, Rob? Four weeks, three weeks, five weeks? Guess who, when does it start? Start? First game, that's 1930, Rob. It doesn't start in 1930. When does it start in 2026? World Cup started in 1930. June 11th. So the first game starts in three weeks. Guess who Brazilian young fans want to see play?

• 2:18:54Speaker 03

  Neymar.

• 2:18:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Neymar. And he's had some injuries in the last few years and he's been making a comeback. Neymar is worried this could be the reason why the coach and the country doesn't pick him to go into Brazil. He needs as much playing time to show that he's back and he's healthy because the coach doesn't want to risk giving that spot to somebody that is not in 100% condition. This was his chance to show up that I'm ready to go back into. So if he doesn't, a lot of fans, that referee right there may need to go meet with AIG nationwide, some of the biggest life insurance companies. Because a lot of people will not be happy about it. I hope he gets in there because you want to see the best players play without it's just not an exciting playoff when the best players are injured.

• 2:19:37Patrick Bet-David?

  So we are rooting for Neymar, Brazilian guy to get up there and hopefully he's able to perform. For the country, I do know this room will be busy while the World Cup starts because all the games are gonna be here.

• 2:19:48Speaker 03

  Better keep it clean.

• 2:19:49Patrick Bet-David?

  And we're missing employees, we can't find them. I have a feeling a lot of people will be hiding here. And that Jake, just so you know, I'm watching you Jake, I know what you're gonna do here. I think I'm probably gonna be here. But anyways, gang, with that being said, hotcakes and hot takes. We had a few mobsters here last week.

• 2:20:07Speaker 03

  Oh yeah.

• 2:20:07Patrick Bet-David?

  And one of them was Michael Francis.

• 2:20:09Speaker 03

  The man.

• 2:20:10Patrick Bet-David?

  And Michael Francis was here and did a podcast on hotcakes with hot takes with Vinny. And Vinny showed me a clip at the end from Goodfellas, not Goodfellas.

• 2:20:19Speaker 03

  Yes, yes.

• 2:20:20Patrick Bet-David?

  And the line.

• 2:20:21Speaker 03

  Funny how.

• 2:20:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Funny how.

• 2:20:22Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 2:20:23Patrick Bet-David?

  And Michael asks Vinny to set aside the script because.

• 2:20:28Speaker 03

  He goes, because I had it, because normally at the end of the podcast, I do a scene with every guest. He's like, I don't, he's like, just go, I'll do it. I memorized, he memorized the whole scene.

• 2:20:35Patrick Bet-David?

  I couldn't believe the video.

• 2:20:36Speaker 03

  It's amazing.
