  Adam, what's your point? The future looks bright? My handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here.

• 1:15Patrick Bet-David?

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

• 1:17Speaker 02

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

• 1:24Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, folks, we got a guy here named Humberto, who never wears a suit, doesn't own a suit, doesn't buy suits. He wears shorts and tank tops to work. We tell him, "Put some clothes on." Just today decides to wear a suit for one man and one man only. The one and only, the great Scott Jennings is in the house. How you doing?

• 1:43Speaker 06

  PBD, thanks for having me back down to Lauderdale. I'm honored to be here.

• 1:47Patrick Bet-David?

  It's always great having you on. So, guys, if you love this man, his book just came out, just support him. I'm gonna give a lot of... We're gonna talk about the book throughout the whole time as well, but we're gonna put the link to the book below. If you love him, go support it, buy the book. Let's make it a top bestseller. With that being said, let's get into the stories. A lot's going on, folks. Apparently, it's not a good idea, if you're a representative or you're a senator, to tell the commander of chiefs, soldiers, to not listen to his orders. And there is a name for that, that I think, you know, back in the days, Rob, what did they call that name? There's a ward for it, right?

• 2:23Speaker 06

  Sedition.

• 2:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Sedition. Sedition. You don't do that. And yesterday was craziness. With what we put, people talked about Newsom is retweeting a bunch of stuff. People are reacting to it. We'll talk about that story. We'll play the clip for you. On top of that,

• 2:38Patrick Bet-David?

  we got some other stories. There's this one video of Scott Jennings. We have to play this clip. Of talking about low IQ people. And this low IQ video turns into a very bad situation for a guy on there that tried to, tried to kind of throw Scott under the bus and it ends up very bad for him. Again, we'll play that clip later on. Hang tight for it. There's this lady who is slowly becoming a power player in the media space. Her name is Barry Weiss. She's been around the block for a while. She's very good at what she does. They bought her company for 150 million. She's now at CBS and she's going on trying to recruit the best of the best. And Scott happens to be on that list, but Scott had an answer for it. Grateful for it. You know, I'm sure he was, but

• 3:20Patrick Bet-David?

  I actually like what he said about it and, and maybe we'll tell that story. There's a story here about the fact that, you know, what happened with that. But anyways, aside from that, CNN's Harry Enton. This guy loves Trump. Uh, uh, maybe he doesn't, but his polls that he keeps showing is this guy's eventually gonna go work on Trump's campaign. It's like, I'm so sick and tired of doing these polls. I have to go work for you. Harry Enton says Trump's approval rating on foreign policy has skyrocketed. Uh, Trump on Fed Chair Powell, they have this such a unique relay. He always lifts them up. Yesterday, the loving quote he said about him, he says, "I'd love to fire his ass." Okay? Another thing he said about him, this is like a love affair between the two. He says, "Trump slams Fed Chair Jerome Powell. He says,

• 4:04Patrick Bet-David?

  he has mental problems." Like, you know, when you want to talk dirty to somebody, that's the way you do it, right before you fire them, but that's where Trump's at with Powell. Protest in Dearborn, anti-Islam activist clash with Muslim residents. Apparently, this is a guy that was just on Unusual Suspects. A week or two weeks ago is out there in Dearborn. Straight up, not even kidding, you know, i- in front of everybody. But anyways, we'll, we'll tell that clip. I'll show that clip here in a minute as well. Radical Islamist organization Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating US colleges to transform Western society from within. Reports warns that is a-

• 4:40Patrick Bet-David?

  New York Post story, there's another story here that says, "Six in ten young Muslims in France prefer Sharia law." Are you surprised? Let me read that one more time to you. "Six in ten Muslims in France prefer Sharia law." Okay, maybe coming to a city near you is what they're trying to tell you. Uh, then we have a, a, a Bush family is making a comeback, trying to make a comeback to retake the GOP from Trump. We're gonna see how they're gonna do it. I do know there was a, uh, there was an establishment party yesterday, some called the funeral. And it was a funeral for a man named Dick Cheney, whom Christian Bale played, uh, uh, him, I think in the movie Vice. Have you seen that movie? What a great flipping movie.

• 5:20Speaker 06

  He is such a good actor.

• 5:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you remember when he won what he said in his speech?

• 5:23Speaker 06

  No.

• 5:23Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't remember what he said in his speech?

• 5:24Speaker 06

  Was it like something?

• 5:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, can you find it, Rob, on what he said in his speech? Maybe we'll play that, but anyways.

• 5:28Speaker 06

  We gotta start, stop outsourcing all our jobs to these British people.

• 5:32Patrick Bet-David?

  No, but, but, but yesterday.

• 5:33Speaker 06

  American jobs.

• 5:34Patrick Bet-David?

  When you.

• 5:35Speaker 06

  The H1B thing is getting out of control.

• 5:36Patrick Bet-David?

  When you see, when you see this clip of everybody that's there and two people weren't invited, okay? And why, we don't know, but maybe when we show it to you, kinda have an idea what's going on over there. Political touts, uh, uh, uh, touts Gavin Newsom as 2028 frontrunner, but data tells a different story because California is facing a 18 billion dollar deficit. When he came in, he had a 24 billion dollar surplus, something like that, to 18 billion. That means you're not operating the company very well. And then you have DOG seeks to block new California's congressional map, I think because they were doing it to Texas and now they're doing it to them. Bill Ackman doubles down on his dating advice, folks. We have some men here who maybe have experienced dating.

• 6:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Some are still experiencing their mid 40s, nearly 50, who knows, like in the next five years like that.

• 6:22Speaker 06

  60 and 20.

• 6:23Patrick Bet-David?

  And they're gonna, they're gonna give some commentary on, on whether Bill Ackman's advice is valuable advice. Bill is a lot richer, so when you're richer, you can say anything and they're probably gonna say, "I'll go on a date with you."

• 6:34Speaker 06

  True.

• 6:34Patrick Bet-David?

  When you're poorer, you must have a better game, so we're gonna have some people that are not billionaires giving you advice on dating. So, we'll see. Iran suffers flash flooding after clouds seeding to combat drought. They said cloud seeding was a conspiracy theory. Iran's validating it wasn't. We had Lee Zeldin yesterday talking about this. It's pretty interesting. Maybe we'll get into it. Nicki Minaj praised for highlighting persecution of Nigerian Christians. Vinny's got a surprise for it. And to the Nigerian community, we'd like to send some money over your way. And folks, you can be part of that. We'll tell you about it probably halfway through the podcast. We'll get into that. And then Elon Musk talks about the new trillion dollar package. We'll eliminate poverty with what he's building these, what do you call it, robots?

• 7:18Patrick Bet-David?

  People having AI children with their AI partners. Maybe you're interested. We'll talk about that. Trump signs bill directing Justice Department to release Epstein files. I'm sure we'll talk about that. Mamdani today is going to DC to meet with the president. Netflix and Fox are trying to get into the podcast game. Stephen A. Smith breaks silence on stepping away from ESPN exit. What does that really mean anyways? And we got a few other things that we'll get into. Having said that, let me tell you what's going on so everybody knows. Okay, we announced this earlier. I want to remind you again what's taking place for this month. From November 17th is where it started to December 2nd. This is the only time.

• 7:59Patrick Bet-David?

  We have a Black Friday deal that's going on. Started early, 30% off of everything on the site except for a couple of items. And we're doing a few unique things. And here's what it is.

One of them is a 15 minute call with Tom or Vinnie or myself.

• 8:44Patrick Bet-David?

  $2,500 towards Manect or to be in a skit with Vinnie on VT Comedy would fly down. You guys would literally be in a skit. You guys know Vinnie runs a zoo here with a bunch of animals. You would come and be in one of these skits with him. Now, second. Second, we always get guys, Alan said he wants to be on the podcast so bad because he wants to face against this guy. Loser.

Let's get right into it. Okay.

• 10:07Patrick Bet-David?

  So Rob, yesterday, there's these guys that thought it was a good idea, they call them senators and congressmen and women. They thought it was a good idea to tell soldiers not to have to listen to their commander in chief, who happens to be a guy named President Donald J. Trump. Rob, is this the video? Yep. Let's go and watch this video here.

• 10:28Speaker 01

  I'm Senator Alyssa Slotkin.

• 10:29Speaker 06

  Senator Mark Kelly. Representative Chris Deluzio.

• 10:32Speaker 03

  Congressman Maggie Goodlander.

• 10:34Speaker 01

  Representative Chrissy Hulahan.

• 10:35Speaker 06

  Congressman Jason Crow. I was a captain in the United States Navy.

• 10:39Speaker 01

  Former CIA officer.

• 10:40Speaker 06

  Former Navy. Former paratrooper and Army Ranger.

• 10:43Speaker 03

  Former intelligence officer.

• 10:44Speaker 01

  Former Air Force.

• 10:45Speaker 06

  We want to speak directly to members of the military.

• 10:48Speaker 01

  And the intelligence community.

• 10:49Speaker 06

  Who take risks each day. To keep Americans safe.

• 10:52Speaker 01

  We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now. Americans trust their military.

• 10:57Speaker 06

  But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military.

• 11:01Speaker 01

  And intelligence community professionals.

• 11:03Speaker 06

  Against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath.

• 11:07Speaker 03

  To protect and defend this Constitution.

• 11:09Speaker 06

  Right now, the threats to our Constitution.

• 11:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home.

• 11:14Speaker 06

  Our laws are clear.

• 11:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Is this supposed to be like a patriotic song?

• 11:18Speaker 01

  You can refuse illegal orders.

• 11:20Patrick Bet-David?

  You must refuse illegal orders.

• 11:22Speaker 01

  No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.

• 11:27Speaker 06

  We know this is harsh and that it's a difficult time to be a public servant.

• 11:30Speaker 01

  But whether you're serving in the CIA.

• 11:32Speaker 06

  In the Army.

• 11:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Or Navy.

• 11:33Speaker 01

  The Air Force.

• 11:34Speaker 06

  Your vigilance is critical.

• 11:36Speaker 01

  And know that you have.

• 11:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, I'm good, Rob. If I watch any more of this, it's a little bit tough to watch. So they do this and then the president responds with a tweet and here's what it says. Truth Social, it's called seditious behavior at the highest level. Each one of these traitors to our country should be arrested and put on trial. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. We won't have a country anymore. An example must be set. President Donald J. Trump. Scott, what do you think about the story here?

• 12:06Speaker 06

  Well, first of all, what they're saying is complete and utter bullshit. There are no illegal orders.

• 12:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I like how you're holding them back a little bit.

• 12:12Speaker 06

  What illegal orders?

• 12:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 12:14Speaker 06

  What has the president said or done? What order? You were in the military. Has he given an illegal order that you know of?

• 12:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Not that I know of, no.

• 12:21Speaker 06

  And they can't name one either. I was on CNN yesterday and we had one of these clowns on, Jason Crow. Casey Hunt asked him, is there a specific order you're worried about? Well, no, we're just generally saying it out loud. The other thing they said there is vital. The threats to our constitution aren't just coming from abroad, they're coming from within. They said the president is a threat to the constitution. This is the same garbage they have been peddling that has led to violence against the president, that has led to violence against ICE agents, that has led to violence against people who are operating our government right now. This is, this rhetoric is designed to foment insurrection against the commander in chief and violence against the commander in chief. Number two.

• 13:05Speaker 06

  The other issue going on with the Democrats is, and we learned this in the shutdown, their base demands that they do anything and everything to throw sand in the gears of government. Let's shut down the government and keep Trump from operating. Hey, let's tell people to refuse orders so that he can't operate as Commander in Chief. It goes back to 2016. They have never believed this man is a legitimate president. That's what their base believes. And so they demand that their elected officials treat him like he's illegitimate. Telling the soldiers not to follow orders from the Commander in Chief? If I were Donald Trump, I would be outraged. He is outraged. He has every right to be outraged. This is extraordinarily irresponsible, what these Democrats are doing.

• 13:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, Newsom came out and said that the President, I don't know if you saw that, Rob, or not, but Newsom said that this sounds like a threat. Okay? And he tweeted about this, I think, yesterday. If you go a little bit lower, you'll see, okay, right there. "The President of the United States just called for the death of Democratic lawmakers."

• 14:07Speaker 06

  Oh, my God.

• 14:08Patrick Bet-David?

  "This man is sick in the head." Rob, can you go to the comment section? I just want to see how his own following is reacting to him. "Telling the military of the United States of America to ignore Commander in Chief was a stupid political stunt."

• 14:19Speaker 06

  Mutiny.

• 14:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Mutiny. Someone tries to get members of the military... Okay, go to the next one. I'm just curious to know what his own audience is saying. "Section 18 U.S.C. 233, activities affecting armed force generally criminalizes, nor only advising, counseling, urging any member of the United States to disobey." Okay, $250,000 fine and 20 years in prison. So, that's what Newsom is saying. Now, Stephen Miller responds to this, perfect picture, by the way. Stephen Miller responds to this as well, and here's what he had to say. Go for it.

• 14:44Speaker 05

  It is insurrection, plainly, directly, without question. And when you have one of the lawmakers on that video being unable to state, in, as you say, lengthy cross-examination...

• 14:55Speaker 06

  A single so-called illegal order, it just proves the point. It's a general call for rebellion from the CIA and the armed services of the United States by Democrat lawmakers, saying that you have not only the right, but the duty and the obligation to defy orders of the commander in chief. That those who carry weapons in America's name should defy their chain of command and engage in open acts of insurrection, that the CIA, the clandestine service, which isn't even legally authorized to operate in the United States, should engage in, again, acts of rebellion and insurrection.

• 15:36Speaker 06

  These lawmakers should honestly resign in disgrace and never return to public office again.

• 15:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, he's saying that. What's the worst thing that can happen to these guys, Scott?

• 15:50Speaker 06

  To the members?

• 15:51Patrick Bet-David?

  To the members.

• 15:52Speaker 06

  I mean, the Congress could censure them, I guess, but nothing, nothing will happen to them. And that's what these Democrats are betting on, is that there are really no consequences to their actions. There's no consequence. Look, they didn't, what consequences were there when they shut down the government and they didn't pay the soldiers? You know, it's funny to me, they're worried about soldiers and illegal orders. They weren't so worried about paying the military for 43 days when they had the government shut down. Now they're giving them advice about illegal orders? They treat soldiers like pawns. They treat them like pawn, political pawns. That's what they are to Democrats.

• 16:26Patrick Bet-David?

  What a point right there about the timing of it. You asked this after you shut down the government. Tom, your thoughts on this?

• 16:32Speaker 06

  Well, I agree, and I'll add one thing. It's the illegitimacy of Donald Trump is what they say, illegitimate president, illegitimate. Really? Most presidents have to beat an opponent. He had to beat the entire media in 2016 stacked against him. He had to beat Hillary. He had to beat all of the subversion that was going, we'll talk about sedition, the Russiagate, the Steele dossier, and all these, he had to beat all these things, and still America stood up and said, "That's our guy." And he got elected in 2016. And ever since that point, the, at that moment, the establishment corps, specifically the Democrats, had this aneurysm, and they've been living in this land of a stroked mind

• 17:17Speaker 06

  ever since. And so, anything he says, you flip it, go the other way. It's such a simple playbook, and you saw the tweet from Gavin Newsom. Anything he says, boom, go the other way. What a sick guy. He's calling for the death of this. It's like you have to respond with outrage and victimhood because you don't have a platform to go after. And Mark Kelly, whom, you know, not a lot of oxygen in space, and we can see what happened when he came back. That guy knows better. He knows better. And that bugs me, because he was part of NASA, he was part of these, he had this duty, and there was this pride. He was a symbol of American pride, an astronaut, and he comes back and now he's a symbol of just campaign gibberish? And that's what I categorize

• 18:00Speaker 06

  this as. This is campaign gibberish. This is red meat for the media who's gonna pick it up and run with it. That's what I think. Well, at some point, the Democratic establishment, the DNC, is gonna have to figure out, what do we actually stand for, other than opposing Trump? A new victim. That's all they do. That's their playbook. And they keep doubling down on it as if it's working. But I mean technically, it's technically, Scott, it's working because that's the, like, think about it. Everything Newsom, everybody's Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. It's gonna bleed into the midterms, and then for the 2028, they're gonna say whoever's, whoever he's gonna vouch for, whoever he's gonna go behind, they're like, that's the same Hitler Nazi, that's all they're gonna do. They're gonna transfer it.

• 18:42Speaker 06

  At some point, you need to sell yourself, as opposed to just trash someone else. You think it's actually working? Well, one whole political party in this country takes it as an article of faith that Russia did steal the election. Yep. And now, one whole political party will take it as an article of faith, that the president is giving illegal orders. These people are dedicated to the creation of narratives and alternate realities to program a political party. And by the way, Democrats are authoritarian in messaging. Once the talking points go out, once the message goes out, they adopt it, they absorb it, and then they punish anyone in their party who won't go along with it. Case in point, John Fetterman, a loyal Democrat. Look at this guy. He pops his head

• 19:27Speaker 06

  up out of the ditch on one or two issues, and they're out here saying, we gotta take him out in the primary. They are authoritarian when it comes to communications. The goal of this is to make every Democrat in the country believe that an illegal order has been given. Nobody can tell me what that is. I'll tell you what else. This is about Venezuela. They are out here protecting these narco terrorists off the coast. I've been on panel after panel and they're like, oh, it's illegal for the president to go after these narco terrorists. This has something to do with these Venezuelan narco terrorists. The Democrats are protecting them right now and they're mad to Trump. Look, why did they go to El Salvador and try to bring an MS-13 gang banger back to the United States? Because the dedication to foreign and illegal populations over American citizens right

• 20:12Speaker 06

  now is one of the beating hearts of that party. You're talking about the Maryland father? Yeah.

• 20:16Patrick Bet-David?

  But now here's the thing.

• 20:17Speaker 06

  Maryland man.

• 20:18Patrick Bet-David?

  While you're talking about this, the problem for them is the following. So you say Venezuela, foreign policy. Harry Enton says Trump's approval rating on foreign policy has skyrocketed.

• 20:31Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 20:31Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you mean it's skyrocketed? Yeah, it's skyrocketed. And this is CNN talking about this? Yes. Watch this, folks, on Harry Enton talking about Trump's foreign policy. Go ahead, Rob.

• 20:41Speaker 06

  This is one of the areas in which Donald Trump is performing significantly better than he was in term one. One of his best issues relative to term one. What are we talking about? Approval of Trump on foreign policy at this point in term one. Look, Donald Trump was just at a 35% approval rating. Up like a rocket. We're talking about 43% now. That's an eight-point rise on the net approval rating. We're talking about a double-digit rise. The American people like much more of what they're seeing from Donald Trump in foreign policy in term two than they did in term number one. So often presidents in their second term, usually later in their second term frankly, will turn to foreign policy. So how does President Trump compare to past presidents in their second term? You know, this to me is one of the most interesting data points because normally when we look at these data points, we see that Trump is doing worse than other presidents.

• 21:26Speaker 06

  But on this one, he is doing significantly better because take a look here. All right, 21st century foreign policy approval rating at this point in term two. George W. Bush was down at 36%. Barack Obama was at 37%. Look at this.

• 21:39Speaker 04

  Donald Trump actually leads the pack at forty-three percent. Donald Trump has a higher foreign policy approval rating at this point in a second term than any other president who served their entire second term in the twenty-first century. This is something I think Donald Trump really likes to look at because the bottom line is this, presidents like to build their legacies off of foreign policy. And at this particular point, the American people like much more of what Donald Trump's doing on foreign policy than either of the two other twenty-first century presidents who served.

• 22:07Speaker 06

  Wow. He meets the cousins. And he gave Obama a freaking Nobel Prize for making a speech in Germany.

• 22:13Patrick Bet-David?

  He can pause. By the way, how is Harry Enton? He seems like a chill guy. Is he a chill guy?

• 22:17Speaker 06

  Let me tell you the truth about Harry. He's the man. Harry Enton knows more about political polling than anybody I know. He is one of the best TV guys that we or anybody else has. And he is funny as all get out. He is entertain- like, this is what you should be doing on cable TV. What Harry Enton does, this is a- he's one of the best things we got going.

• 22:39Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the impression I got from him. I'm glad you're saying this.

• 22:42Speaker 06

  Amazing.

• 22:42Patrick Bet-David?

  So when you see this, when you see this, what's the moral authority? These guys have to come out and say, hey, you shouldn't listen to the president, you don't have to, you must not follow the orders, all this stuff. This tells a different story. How do they react to this, knowing they don't have moral authority?

• 22:56Speaker 06

  Well, I think, I think what they're doing is trying to destabilize one of the best parts of the Trump presidency, which is that he has been the best foreign policy president in the modern era. I mean, he solved eight wars. He might be on the brink of solving Russia-Ukraine soon. He got the hostages back from the terrorists in Gaza. They were in the White House last night. And so despite all these jackals trying to drag him down, the guy out here is creating peace. I'll tell you this, in researching my book, talking to him, the man hates war. He hates the prospect and concept of people dying for no reason. He hates, he hates it. He does not think of war and peace. He thinks of peace and war. And it's peace first, and then engage if you have to second. That's the way he thinks of it.

• 23:39Speaker 06

  And that's what the American people want him to do. And he's doing it, and they like it. And so the Democrats have got to drag him down.

• 23:45Patrick Bet-David?

  When you see numbers like this, it is so hard, Vinny, to argue it, right? When you see the president being at forty-three percent. Adam, your thoughts on the story? So here's the only analogy I can give to what's happening with Trump. Trump is Michael Jordan. He is Tom Brady. He's the GOAT. I mean, in our lifetime, has there been a more effective president? When I was younger, I wasn't an MJ guy. I was an Isaiah Thomas guy. Okay? And I would, with passion, root against MJ, with passion. And then it came to the realization, oh, this is the guy. They beat the Pistons, they beat the Lakers, they beat the Celtics, they beat uh, everybody out there. And then you, at some point, you have to realize, wow, I was wrong about Jordan. And then you realize, I'm watching greatness.

• 24:30Patrick Bet-David?

  That's Trump. And all they still want to do is say Obama's the man, or Biden's great, this is what, and all they want to do is point out the negatives. It's like, it's like talking about MJ and being like, yeah, but you know, he played baseball, not so good. And, uh, you know, his, it was a gambling problem. It's like, can we talk about all the wins and the championships and all the great he's done? Cause you're making a living trying to basically bring down the GOAT. And anyone who has common sense, shout out to the book, realizes, nah, guys, it's not gonna work. As far as foreign policy goes, I think domestically, we need to, affordability is sort of like the catch-all term these days. I think people won't understand what's going on with tariffs. But foreign policy,

• 25:12Patrick Bet-David?

  every single foreign autocrat, dictator, president-elect, respects Donald Trump. And if they didn't, they better get in line now. Yeah, it's, it's interesting because if you look at those two faces on that poll, who do you see? You see Barack Obama and you see President Bush. And you don't see President, you see President Trump there, but here's what happened. Yesterday was Dick Cheney's funeral. May he rest in peace. He's somebody's father, he's somebody's brother, he's somebody's friend. May he rest in peace. He's a very, very, uh, controversial figure in politics.

• 25:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Both sides have said a lot of interesting things about this guy, how vicious he was. But when you look at who was at the funeral yesterday, who wasn't invited and who was invited, but didn't show up, will kind of tell you what's going on in America today. Rob, is this kind of showing who was at the funeral?

• 26:08Speaker 06

  Uh, yeah, she gets into who's there and who's not.

• 26:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, go for it.

• 26:11Speaker 04

  More than a thousand people are expected to come here to the National Cathedral to pay tribute to former Vice President Dick Cheney and his decades of public service, including former President George W. Bush, who of course was Commander in Chief when Cheney was Vice President. He will deliver remarks and so will Cheney's daughter, former US Congresswoman, Liz Cheney.

• 26:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, can you show pictures of who actually was there? There's a video of Kamala Harris. If you go to Twitter, you type in Kamala Harris and Jill Biden and you put in Cheney. Just if you type in Cheney, Kamala, Harris, you should see when they meet each other, what that interaction is like.

• 26:57Speaker 06

  Rachel Maddow and Dr. Fauci.

• 26:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, first, first, okay, there you go. Make it a little bit bigger if you can. I think the hip hop music they're playing in the background may.

• 27:06Speaker 06

  May trigger the copyright.

• 27:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Right there. Look at that. So there is Jill, there's President Biden, there's Michael Pence, okay, President Bush coming around with his wife.

• 27:17Speaker 06

  Her hair is amazing.

• 27:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Mitch McConnell hanging in there, standing up, which is great. Al Gore.

• 27:22Speaker 06

  Proud of you, Mitch.

• 27:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Climate change, end of the world is coming. There. And then you see Kamala speaking with Jill, but doesn't shake hands with Kamala. Maybe they did later on or before that. So who knows? You know, a lot of times these stories, they get out of control. You had Rachel Maddow who was there and obviously the one and only, the goat of vaccinations, Anthony Fauci was there earlier there. So you see this. Who wasn't invited? President Trump wasn't invited. J.D. Vance wasn't invited. Who wasn't there? Michelle Obama wasn't there.

• 27:56Speaker 06

  Ooh.

• 27:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. Uh, I don't think Brock was there.

• 28:00Speaker 06

  Obama was not there.

• 28:01Patrick Bet-David?

  No. But I think Brock wasn't there. This is the one event he has him into. Michelle, this is the third event he has him. She has, she has him into. I'm not trying to say.

• 28:09Speaker 06

  Jimmy Carter funeral. I don't believe she went to.

• 28:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Jimmy Carter funeral, the inauguration, and now this one. She's not been to any one of them. Scott, you hear stories. Uh, there's this one story from, uh, Breitbart saying the Bush family is plotting comeback to retake GOP and from Trump. What, what, what do you, what, what is your impression when you see something like this happening with Dick Cheney? It's his funeral. Trump and J D Vance are not there. Michelle and Obama, okay, Obama should be there. Michelle not there. How do you process this yourself?

• 28:39Speaker 06

  Well, the, the thing that jumped out at me was seeing Rachel Maddow at this funeral. I mean, when I first saw yesterday, I thought, am I living on earth too? Rachel Maddow is at Dick Cheney's funeral. I mean, remember what they called Dick Cheney? Before they called Donald Trump Hitler, they were calling Dick Cheney. Of course. Hitler, war criminal, needs to be in jail and so on. All he had to do was one thing to get Rachel Maddow there. He voted against Trump in 2024. I mean, that's the thing. They hated, hated, hated, hated. Oh, you vote against Trump? Now we love you. That's it. And so to me, the transparency of this is sort of disgusting. Look, this is, this is establishment Washington. They all knew each other for years. You gotta remember Cheney was the youngest White House Chief of Staff under Ford.

• 29:22Speaker 06

  He was in the House. He was in the House Leadership. He was Secretary of Defense. He was Vice President for two terms. I mean, he's been working with these guys, you know, for his entire life. And by the way, pretty effective bureaucratic operator. I mean, he got things done. And let me just, I mean, look, I worked for these guys. Okay? Worked in the Bush-Cheney White House. I worked on both campaigns. I'll tell you one thing about Dick Cheney. The man hated radical Islamic terrorists more than anything in this world. And that's pretty much what he dedicated himself to doing. Killing them and stopping them from hurting Americans. And so I don't think you can ever criticize that. But this is official Washington and the divide is, did you stand against Trump or did you go with Trump? Now, interestingly, even though Cheney was against him in 24, when a lot of Republicans weren't with Trump in 16, Cheney actually stepped up and said,

• 30:07Speaker 06

  no, I, I'm for Trump. I'm voting for Trump. And it was kind of a shot in the arm for Trump back in the 16 campaign. In fact, I think Cheney actually went to the Republican National Convention to show his support and Bush did not. So he, he went on a little bit of a roller coaster. Cheney voted for him in a. Dorsem in 16? Yes, sir. And, and I'll tell you this, I don't, you know, look, his daughter Liz Cheney became the biggest anti-Trump person. Of course, J6. I don't begrudge a man for supporting his daughter. I'm, it doesn't surprise me. Uh, would be shocked if he did otherwise. Uh, but what I find sort of just disgusting is, you know, this guy spent his entire life as a Republican, as a conservative. He goes against Trump one time and all of a sudden you got Rachel Maddow at your funeral.

• 30:49Speaker 06

  I mean, she doesn't like Dick Cheney. She has no use for Dick Cheney, except to be a weapon against Donald Trump. Everything revolves around Trump.

• 30:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you and Rachel Maddow ever had any interactions together or no?

• 31:00Speaker 06

  Never met her.

• 31:00Patrick Bet-David?

  You've never met her?

• 31:01Speaker 06

  No.

• 31:01Patrick Bet-David?

  And never spoken to each other?

• 31:03Speaker 06

  No.

• 31:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. Interesting. When you see this happen. By the way, how much credence do you give to the story about the fact that President Bush and his family are reportedly planning to retake the Republican Party from Trump once he's out of the office, according to a recent rumor steering that there's a plot to end the so-called Bush exile as part of the effort to take him? How, how much credibility do you give to a story like this?

• 31:25Speaker 06

  Uh, zero. Because, uh, look, the, the president or the presidential candidate controls the party. Trump's the president. He's the titular head of the party. I suspect J.D. Vance will be the next nominee. Then he'll be the titular head of the party. That's who is in charge of the party. Now, are there Bush people around who support Trump that are part of it? Absolutely. And that's fine. But the idea of an ex-president, you know, who's, who by the way, has been out of public life. George W. Bush has not meddled in anything. He doesn't come out and criticize. I mean, he, he doesn't give speeches. Obama does. Clinton does. You know, Jimmy Carter did his whole life. Bush retired. He's a painter. He's not involved in politics right now. I, so I don't give it any credence. Well, question for you. We all remember what happened in the, uh, 2016 run-up to

• 32:08Speaker 06

  the election. Trump, single-handedly destroyed the Bush family and the Bush family legacy with Jeb Bush on, on stage. It got so bad that Jeb Bush had to- Ask and beg people, please clap. In that, in that debate, low energy Jeb. There was a clear fissure between the new MAGA party and the Republican Party, in my opinion. Do you, what do you recall from that when he just completely dismantled Jeb Bush and in essence, the Bush White House legacy? Well, my recollection of that whole year was that it wasn't just the Bush family, it was also the Clintons. So he beats, you know, it was kind of old guard, establishment politics versus new people. We're throwing out the old guard and we're going in a, in a much different direction.

• 32:51Speaker 06

  And so it was bigger than that. It was just a rejection of the American people of the political elites that we trusted let us down some bad roads and we're going to punish them and put in new people. But you remember, he didn't just run against Jeb Bush, he ran against like 17 other people and they were all politicians. But a lot of those names Huckabee, Scott Walker, they're almost irrelevant now, Carly Fiorino, the Bush family legacy. For Trump to take out the Bushes, the Clintons and essentially Obama with a third term with Biden? Yeah. He, he, he has been. It's a trifecta. He, he, he has been the destroyer of political legacies. I mean, that, that is one of his, that is one of his legacies as, as a political actor for the last 10 years.

• 33:36Speaker 06

  Taking out entrenched things like whether it's a, a political dynasty, whether it's the establishment media, whatever, you know, the guy has, you know, the people that were running our politics have all basically fallen to Donald Trump, not just Democrats, but Republicans too.

• 33:52Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what Lee Zeldin said yesterday? He, he, he said the most interesting thing. He said, in every room the president is in, he's the alpha.

• 34:03Patrick Bet-David?

  In every room, he's in, he's the alpha. Okay? There, there is power in that statement. It doesn't matter if he's meeting with China, if he's meeting with billionaires, if he's meeting with people richer than him, longer experienced than him in politics, he is the alpha. And he's proven it. In 2016, he didn't fully have that, you know, he just got lucky 17, 18. When it fully got validated was 2024. There is no questions now. No whatsoever. He's the guy running it. You have to either get behind him or.

• 34:32Speaker 06

  Can I, can I tell you a story from my?

• 34:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Sure, please.

• 34:34Speaker 06

  I interviewed Scott Besant, the Treasury Secretary. I was in his office and he has a picture of Lincoln over his desk and I said, is that your favorite Republican president? He said, no, Teddy Roosevelt. I said, why? He goes, Donald Trump is the modern Teddy Roosevelt. You ever read about Teddy Roosevelt? Of course. He says, he says to me, this man, this man would just overwhelm people with his energy and the sheer force of his personality. And that is what Donald Trump does. Bestin starts describing going into these meetings with people who are opposed to them on certain issues. Trump walks into the room and five minutes later, he has just overwhelmed them into supporting whatever they want to do. So what you're describing, the Treasury Secretary is telling me, like, this is how we get things done. We bring

• 35:17Speaker 06

  people together and Trump walks in and just sort of overwhelms people. It's what Roosevelt did. It's how he operated. It's, you can't really replicate it. You either have it or you don't. And not very many people have it. Teddy Roosevelt also got shot. Yeah. And proceeded to give the, an hour-long speech after he got shot. But. But, but can I give you, um, sir?

• 35:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 35:35Speaker 06

  You were talking about Christian Bale?

• 35:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 35:38Speaker 06

  Earlier, talking about Cheney, he played Cheney. You, I think you were going to mention the speech that he gave at the Oscars, I believe is what it was?

• 35:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes, yes, yes.

• 35:45Speaker 06

  Do you have that clip?

• 35:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, here's, by the way, here's, here's Christian Bale. He wins the Oscar. Here's what he had to say about a shout-out, but a different kind of a shout-out to Dick Cheney. Go ahead, Rob.

• 35:56Speaker 06

  Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role. And I will be cornering the market on charisma-free [BLEEP]. So, um, what do you think? Mitch McConnell? Next? That could be good, couldn't it? I don't, I don't like this. I don't like this. I'll be honest with you. Some British guy bitching about our republic.

• 36:18Patrick Bet-David?

  While he's making money.

• 36:19Speaker 06

  Do you not like it just because he's British? Well, I, no, I don't like it because, A, I know these people. Like, you gotta understand, I know these people. B, this guy doesn't know anything about American politics. But you disagree that Dick Cheney, many people think he's Satan? I agree, but back when I was working for him, those many people were the most liberal, progressive Democrats in American politics. And so. Exactly. I.

• 36:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you been in the same room with Dick Cheney?

• 36:42Speaker 06

  I worked on both campaigns. I worked in the Bush-Cheney White House.

• 36:45Patrick Bet-David?

  What was he like?

• 36:46Speaker 06

  The caricature of it was totally wrong. He was extremely grandfatherly, almost. And I had to brief, I was political affairs. I had to brief him on campaigns. I had to brief him on what was going on in our politics. I'm just telling you, the, the caricature that media paints of these guys, they've done the same thing to Trump. I've been hanging around Trump. What you would think about Trump is totally different than what you get in person. The same was true of Bush, the same was true of Cheney. The media, they make caricatures.

• 37:15Patrick Bet-David?

  You think the level of evil of Trump is bigger than Cheney?

• 37:18Speaker 06

  No, I'm saying the caricatures that media presents of these guys is off base.

• 37:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Because I would say when I think evil.

• 37:24Speaker 06

  No, I don't think they're evil at all.

• 37:25Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, the way it's been branded, they've branded him as evil.

• 37:29Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 37:29Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, they're branding him as an evil guy. You know, if you watch the movie.

• 37:33Speaker 06

  That's what they do.

• 37:34Patrick Bet-David?

  There's nothing about him you're gonna sit there and say, what an impressive guy.

• 37:37Speaker 06

  So Hollywood, Hollywood brands a Republican as evil. Where's a breaking news story? I mean, these, these people, I mean, these people are dedicated to destroying conservatives in any form. Man, look, I'm old enough to remember looking out my window from the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue and watching people marching around saying Bush is Hitler. Now I'm, now, here we are, and I'm watching people marching around saying Trump is Hitler. I mean, it's the same.

• 37:58Patrick Bet-David?

  How old were you when you were with Dick Cheney?

• 38:00Speaker 06

  My twenties.

• 38:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, and what was that like for you in your twenties? While you're on the inside, you're spending time with this man, and then you're going out and, what? How are you as a young man processing what they're saying about him versus you're in there with him on a daily basis?

• 38:14Speaker 06

  I mean, it just, it doesn't match. And, and I, and I knew it, and we knew it. Um, and I think one of the frustrations that we always had was, how do you defeat this propaganda? Like, how do you defeat these narratives? How do you defeat these caricatures? It's one of the reasons Republicans love Trump. He shows up and says, you know, we don't actually have to take this. We don't have to take this lying down. And that was, I think, one of the frustrations with old guard politicians, that they just didn't fight back hard enough to try to defeat what Hollywood or the media and anybody else was doing to the Republican Party. There's only one Dick Cheney. Not a lot, not a lot of people are compared to Satan. Everyone's Hitler these days. Can you speak to the whole concept that Dick Cheney was part of the military industrial complex? Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy? I'm listening.

• 38:59Speaker 06

  Okay, gotcha. Okay, that's just a normal face, gotcha. But they think that. You watch me on TV, I make faces of people. That's what I do. No, we all, we all look at him the same way. Continue your question. Um, the military industrial complex, I don't know if he was part of Halliburton or whatever it was. He was the CEO and then on the board. Okay, there's a lot of people left, right and center who are like, well, nine eleven, Dick Cheney. You've heard these stories, no? Yeah. Speak to that a little bit, would you? Okay, well, here is my recollection that on nine eleven, we were attacked by radical Islamic terrorists. And then the Bush Cheney administration swung into action to protect Americans from further attacks and they. I mean, that, that is their legacy and at the time, the country supported it.

• 39:43Speaker 06

  I mean, vast majority of the country supported it. Over time, Democrats decided they didn't support it. But the overriding issue was, how do we keep radical Islamic terrorists from killing Americans? Now Cheney goes back farther than that. He was Secretary of Defense during the first Persian Gulf War. And so is he part of the military establishment in this country? Well, yeah, he was Secretary of Defense. He was Vice President of the United States. He was in office on nine eleven. Bush and Cheney were wartime leaders. So of course, of course, they're identified with military stuff. But their actions, in my opinion, after nine eleven, I mean, you gotta remember, guys. I mean, it was scary. I mean, the thought that they could come in here and knock down those towers and, and I mean, they were gonna fly airplanes into the White House. They flew one into the Pentagon. I mean, it was a direct attack on America.

• 40:27Speaker 06

  And I, look, it's twenty twenty five and I know it was a long time ago, but in my opinion, we do well to remember. There are people out there that wanna kill us and they would do it today if they had the chance. In a heartbeat. But if we think about it though, Scott, it was, those Islamic terrorists came from Saudi Arabia, but then they lied. Cheney and the Bush administration, and they said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. And we went there and we killed one million people, including a bunch of my brothers and sisters, cuz I'm a veteran as well with Pat. So I wouldn't call him Satan. The hardest thing watching this and watching them in church was me having to pray for him. Because I prayed to God that he got right with God and Jesus Christ because at the end, because of the damage that he did. You mentioned Halliburton. How are you doing all the defense contracts and you work for Halliburton? And then you're getting paid for all those defense contracts.

• 41:09Speaker 06

  And nine eleven, like you said, nine eleven, I was in, I'm from New York, tragic tracking thing. All the stories, there's still a bunch of unanswered questions, especially building number seven. We're not gonna get into that. But to act, and by the way, he pushed techniques like waterboarding and stuff, which if you're even a known terrorist and they waterboard you, you're gonna admit to anything. So they were grabbing people and saying, tell us that it was here so we could go bomb this. No, no, no. Waterboard, they admit it and they go for it. So I understand that they were, you know, you work for them and you were friends. I wouldn't call him Satan, but there's a lot of damage that is done for America and for American troops. And my brother's decision, I was in during nine eleven and had to deal with all that nonsense afterwards. So it does, some accountability has to be done for what he's, for what he did and what he did to, to the country.

• 41:55Speaker 06

  Well, I, I'm at, first of all, thank you for serving. Anytime. Second, the accountability for decisions by politicians comes in elections. So nine eleven happened, they got reelected in oh four, but then two thousand eight happened and Democrats came in. I mean, some of what you're describing was a reaction of the American people in two thousand and eight, it ushered in uh the Obama era. But then of course, the reaction to Obama was Trump. And so, uh, look, um, we may have difference of opinion about actions at the time. But my personal view is that the American people ultimately decide how they're going to react to the decisions that were made at the time and they, they decide in the next election. Same thing will happen to Trump, you know, in twenty twenty six, they'll vote again and twenty eight will vote. But it'll be a reaction to Yeah.

• 42:40Speaker 06

  The decisions that are made. But do you agree Scott, that once nine eleven happened and we were talking, mind you, I was in, I remember uh Bush on the aircraft carrier and he America. Mission accomplished. Get these things, Scott, I fell for it too, but knowing that they were like, okay, Iraq, Iraq, weapons of mass destruction. And we went all in and then the dust settled and we're like, wait a minute, wait, wait, you got, so they changed the name of the war to enduring freedom. As if we weren't gonna go, wait, timeout, everybody's dead. Saddam Hussein, say what you want about him, bro. I know family members that were from, that have family in Iraq, he was the best thing for them. It's, it's crazy to say that, but he kept everybody at bay. The moment he was gone, look at all the ISIS, everything was born and it's been a ma, it's been a mayhem.

• 43:22Speaker 06

  And then all the security, all of our spying on us and all that stuff opened up the door for them. So I, I What?

• 43:28Patrick Bet-David?

  No.

• 43:29Speaker 06

  What were you gonna say?

• 43:29Patrick Bet-David?

  You're, th- this is the frustration that I hear from people on the right. So clearly, we can go to the left and the Democrats and they hate Cheney and it, but there's people on the right, Vinnie, like this.

• 43:39Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 43:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Who generally are not a fan of anything the Bush administration did. And not to go off topic here, you know, why did we go into Iraq? You know, they said that Netanyahu wanted, the Israeli government, from what I understand, was basically saying for decades, Iran is the problem. Iran is the head of the snake. Don't go into Iraq. And the Bush-Cheney administration was like, listen, Bibi, we got this. We're going into Iraq. And then Bibi had to get up on stage and be like, look, Iraq, it's kind of like a different way around. But there's a lot of people frustrated, like, Vinnie, why the hell did we go into Iraq? To stabilize the Middle East? I get Afghanistan. Let him respond. Yeah, yeah. Let him respond.

• 44:19Speaker 06

  Well, at the time, I mean, the intelligence community was arguing to the political leadership, they did have weapons of mass destruction. Now, that turned out to be largely false.

• 44:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 44:29Speaker 06

  Uh, but, I mean, you know, as President Bush has long said, look, if you're the president, we just suffered 9/11 and the CIA comes in and says, this is a story. How are you gonna react to it? You make decisions based on the information you have at the time. And that doesn't necessarily, you know, uh, you go, go ahead 10, 15, 20 years and you look back on it and say, well, this was wrong, that was wrong, here were the consequences of that. You gotta live with the consequences of your decisions.

• 44:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you ever read his book? Have you ever read President Bush's book? No. I think you should. It's called Decision Points.

• 44:57Speaker 06

  Decision Points, yeah.

• 44:59Patrick Bet-David?

  If you've never read it, it's actually a, it's actually a good book to read. Okay. Because he talks about the mistakes he made.

• 45:08Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 45:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And he goes to it. Like, he doesn't hold back. When we had, I have a very complicated relationship with the president because I've spent some time with him. When we brought him to the event and, you know, uh, if you come into my office, you know, I got a few things with different presidents, I got a bunch of stuff from, uh, President Trump. But I got, I got a letter he wrote me many, many years ago. And he brought us to the, when he brought him to the event, we couldn't record. They asked us for the recording. We gave it to him. He had to give it to the Library of Congress, but we couldn't keep it. So we had to literally hand over the chip and then boom, we don't have the files. And you know what he openly talked about? He talked about issues he had with alcohol. He talked about one day, he's like, eight years go by with my family.

• 45:51Patrick Bet-David?

  And I'm sitting there saying, what the hell am I doing drinking every single night? He said, I took all my alcohol, went to the bathroom, poured all of it out. And then he said, I made a difference in my life, made some changes. And then from there is when he decided to go and, you know, becomes a governor and then president and all this other stuff. But I, I, I think in the weirdest way, Vinny, you would like him. I know this sounds weird when you sit down with a guy. You would sit there and you know, body language, you can kind of tell. I don't know about Dick Cheney, I don't know where, you know, Dick Cheney, I don't have any. You know, you can speak more on Dick Cheney than I can, I've never spent time with him. But I would read this book because to me, this, this man was a flawed man. Just like anybody else that at one point is like, man, I made some mistakes.

• 46:34Patrick Bet-David?

  He talks about exactly what you're talking about in the book. So I think you get the audio book, it's actually not a big book to read. It's an easy book to read, I think it'll give you some perspective. When they say terrorists, does he say terrorist? Terrorist. And Vinny, after you read that book, I highly encourage you to read comment.

• 46:48Speaker 06

  I'm already, I'm already, he's giving me one when he leaves.

• 46:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so let's go, let's go to next story here. Next thing I want to get into is kind of like what Dick Cheney's legacy is, kind of takes us into this next part. Protest in Dearborn, anti-Islam activist clash with Muslim residents, okay? Page 11. So Rob, I think you got a video of this.

• 47:10Speaker 04

  I have a few.

• 47:10Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so let me get this straight, Rob, can you tell us what happened here? So this gentleman goes to Dearborn. These are not Muslims, they're Christians, they're Americans, fighting against, you know, Islamic extremism, if I'm not mistaken. So maybe give, narrate a little bit about what's going on here, Rob.

• 47:27Speaker 04

  Yeah, so it was led by this gentleman right here, Jake Lang. Um, he was someone who was imprisoned for four years for storming the Capitol on January 6th. Um, he put together this protest right here. It was the, the title of it is Americans Against Islamification.

• 47:45Speaker 06

  They were protesting in Dearborn. In fact, there's a video of Jake. Here's Jake. Um, he's rubbing bacon on the Quran in front of.

• 47:52Patrick Bet-David?

  He's doing what?

• 47:53Speaker 06

  He's rubbing bacon. Rubbing bacon on the Quran. On the Quran. Which you're asking for it here. There's also a video of him burning the Quran. I prefer not to show that. Um.

• 48:02Patrick Bet-David?

  So he burns the Quran?

• 48:03Speaker 06

  He burned the Quran leading up to it. Then he goes to Dearborn. He starts rubbing bacon on the Quran. And then they're walking through the streets. He's asking for it.

• 48:10Patrick Bet-David?

  But bacon, you know, quick shout out to Ocean 48 in Newport Beach. We had the greatest bacon ever. But I'm sure it's not the same quality bacon, but go ahead.

• 48:25Speaker 00

  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. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC.com.

  He's getting attacked?

• 49:23Speaker 06

  Did that Islamic guy take the bacon?

• 49:26Patrick Bet-David?

  They don't eat bacon though. Why would he take it?

• 49:29Speaker 06

  I don't.

• 49:33Speaker 06

  It's like, I'm soaking, why would you?

• 49:49Patrick Bet-David?

  That guy has a gun. That guy got a gun on his hip. Does he really? He has a gun on his hip. In Dearborn? In Dearborn. Did you see that? It's like United States, look at that gun, that's a Kimber. Oh my. It's like United States, they're all shoot you.

• 50:04Patrick Bet-David?

  But who has the bacon?

• 50:05Speaker 06

  That's.

• 50:07Speaker 06

  Somebody probably ran to Denny's, they're on the grill.

• 50:09Patrick Bet-David?

  So keep going, so they're doing this in Dearborn.

• 50:12Speaker 06

  Gonna bring home the bacon.

• 50:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Now Rob, where is this, where is this happening? This is in the streets of Dearborn. But like, why is it so special that it went to specifically?

• 50:20Speaker 06

  Well. He just did an America against Islam.

• 50:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Just real quick, when we say Dearborn, just say Detroit. Dearborn is 10, 15 minutes outside of Detroit. People think of Dearborn. I know, but people, Dearborn is Dearborn. Correct, but it's, it's. No, but when you're talking about, when you're talking about. A great American city. When you're talking about people, you know, when they're, when they're asking, talking about what parts of, is majority Muslim, it's Dearborn, it's not Detroit. Specifically, yeah. Specifically is Dearborn. It's not like it's an hour outside, two hours. What's going on here? 15 minutes outside of Detroit. More of the attacks during the actual protest. Press it.

• 50:54Speaker 06

  So it's later that day.

• 50:57Patrick Bet-David?

  He just sprayed him, he just sprayed him.

• 51:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Who is this guy? Did they just spray you? Did they spray you?

• 51:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Spit on his face.

• 51:13Patrick Bet-David?

  This is gonna be a problem long term. I'm just telling you, this is not gonna be going away. So I'll read this story and then I'll turn it over to you Scott. Radical Islamist organization Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating US colleges to transform Western society from within, reports warn, this is page 11. And Muslim Brotherhood is halfway through its plan to transform Western society from its, from within by covertly embedding itself in college campuses and other institutions across the US. The analysis published by Institute of Study of Global Anti-Semitism and Policy on Wednesday calls on the US to designate the Islam group as a terror group in a bid to thwart its efforts to penetrate all aspects of American life.

• 51:55Patrick Bet-David?

  We are now 50 years into Brotherhood 100 year plan to entrench themselves into key institutions in the US and other Western societies to determine and destroy our democracy. This is not a simple, this is not simply a political. But a transnational ideological projects that adopts itself to Western systems while working to undermine them. The 200-page report claims to have exposed the group civilization jihad strategy which involves influence in college campuses and other educational institutions as well as government agencies. Scott, what can you say about this story?

• 52:27Speaker 06

  Well, I think that it's absolutely true that people are coming to the United States and other Western countries. I mean, look what's happening in Europe. Look what's happening in England. Look what's happening in Germany and France. But they go and they do have a goal of transforming society. They have a goal of implementing their ideologies. And it's sort of fundamentally at odds with our Western civilization that we've relied upon for thousands of years. It's the underpinning of our country for the last 250 years. Dearborn, I agree with you, this is a problem. Back in September, you know, the mayor of Dearborn, who's Muslim, you know, was yelling at a Christian at a city council meeting. They were naming a street after somebody.

• 53:09Speaker 06

  The guy goes to the city council meeting and he says, "I totally disagree with this." And the mayor says, "You're not welcome here."

• 53:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 53:17Speaker 06

  You got it, the mayor telling-

• 53:19Patrick Bet-David?

  I will celebrate and I will put a parade the day you're no longer here.

• 53:22Speaker 06

  Yeah. I mean, is that good for a mayor to be telling someone who had an opinion, "You're not welcome here anymore because you have an opinion?" And so, look, I write about this somewhat in the book and have been worried about it. But I do think there are groups of people out there, some are foreign and some are domestic, that fundamentally are anti-West. They're anti-Western civilization. Europe has largely succumbed to this. They've somewhat been overrun and it's affecting their domestic politics. And so, we're gonna have to decide, you know, as a society, are we gonna continue on with Western civilization and what that means? Or are we gonna allow people to dramatically and fundamentally change our belief systems?

• 54:03Speaker 06

  And you look on these college campuses, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of foreign students here on visas, they're our guests. And what do they do all day? They go to class? No, they foment anti-Western protests. They foment anti-American views. And people say, "Oh, it's free speech. We have to allow..." Well, okay, they're not citizens. We invited them here. So that they can foment hatred and dissent against our own country? I like, frankly, I like what Rubio is doing on this. I think they're dead right on it.

• 54:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's interesting because when you look at the data, here's what you find. Vinny, you ready for this? Go for it. What do you think was the Muslim population in the US in 1970?

• 54:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Muslim population, Tom, you're good at these types of games. 1970. 1970 Muslim population, number of people.

• 54:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Total population, okay. Total population in the US in 1970. What do you think was in 1970? What are we, a nation of about 120 million at that time? I know by the 80s we were 160 million, so maybe half a million, something like that?

• 55:01Speaker 06

  I would say 700,000.

• 55:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Probably a little less than that, actually. 150,000. Holy moly. Is what the Muslim, and you know what it is today? 5 million. They have over 30x'd the last 50 years. That's very fast.

• 55:18Speaker 06

  That's a lot.

• 55:19Patrick Bet-David?

  So by the way, go the next 50 years and 30x what they have today. If you 30x right now, what is the guesstimation, Rob, of what the US population is going to be in 2075? I know it's a long time from now, but say 2075, 400 million? I believe so.

• 55:38Speaker 06

  Well, wait, do we have the birth rate to sustain that?

• 55:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, we're gonna get people coming in, that's what they're doing. Immigrants are coming in.

• 55:43Speaker 06

  I'll tell you what Elon told me, but go ahead, yeah.

• 55:45Patrick Bet-David?

  So if we're at 340 right now, birth rate is 1.58, 1.59, lowest in the history of America.

• 55:51Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 55:51Patrick Bet-David?

  2075, we're guesstimated to be 402 million. By the way, if it follows the same pattern, Vinny, 30x what it is today, it's 150 million of that will be Muslims. 150, because we're not having kids. And, you know, the way we've structured things with women and the way they look at men and how education is shaping the mindset of a lot of young women and it's my body, my choice, I don't want to have kids, it's about my life, selfish, girl boss, all this stuff. It's not like they want to be mothers. It's not like that's being edified in the proper way. So it means if we go, even if you do 15x. 15x of 75 million.

• 56:34Patrick Bet-David?

  This is gonna be a very different America, the way America's going. Scott, your thoughts?

• 56:37Speaker 06

  I, well, A, I totally agree. B, I interviewed Elon Musk for this book, and he, he was sort of describing his fear about America. You've got 40 trillion dollar debt, devaluation of the currency, a mass migration crisis, low birth rates. I mean, he sees all these things as converging. It's not just the downfall of America. I mean, we're the, we are the defenders of Western civilization in this world. It's the downfall of the West to allow yourself to get in such fiscal disrepair, to allow yourself to get in such uh, cultural disrepair. And so, you know, I asked him, "Why are you here?" And he said, "I'm trying to find a way not to make America go bankrupt."

• 57:17Speaker 06

  And then he starts talking about immigration, he starts talking about the mass migration crisis, he starts talking about the birth rate. He just sees all these macro problems converging. And it could lead to the downfall of America. That's why he got involved in the campaign. It's why he supported Trump. It's why he went to work in the government the way he did. And he was pretty put out with Washington, because I, I said, "Does anybody here care about this as much as you do?" And, you know, he said, "No, not really."

• 57:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Who did you interview? What was the?

• 57:46Speaker 06

  I interviewed him on the 101st day.

• 57:48Patrick Bet-David?

  On the 101st day, oh wow.

• 57:49Speaker 06

  And, and this was, he was still there, he was on the way out.

• 57:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 57:52Speaker 06

  Um, I interviewed him in the White House. I could tell he was a bit out of shape with what he had discovered in Washington. I did not know he and Trump were gonna break over the summer. But I could tell he was pretty frustrated that he didn't find anybody in Washington who shared his level of urgency about some of these issues, particularly the fiscal issues. So, you know, when you, you say, "Oh, I saw it coming a mile away. Saw it coming." No brainer. 10 years ago, whatever the year was, Douglas Murray, who you've had on the show. Yeah. Wrote a book called The War in the West. You ever read this book? Yep. It's alarming. Yes. And it said, "Guys, this is what you can expect over the next decade. It's happening in Europe. Get ready, America." And we were just like, "Nah, who reads books anymore?"

• 58:36Speaker 06

  And he basically said, "Everything that you're seeing is going to happen." We've seen what's going on in London, we see Tommy Robinson. You literally cannot wear your Jewish star if you live in Paris anymore.

• 58:48Speaker 05

  I was with French guys last night, they're like, "I live in America now, I cannot be in France anymore." They can't be there. They've accepted Palestine. So you're talking about the Muslim Brotherhood. Who is the Muslim Brotherhood? They sound like, "Oh, like a fraternity." Here are the countries that have banned and outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood. You ready, Scott? You know this: Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, even Russia, because they have a large Muslim... So before we get, "Oh, you're racist," these are Muslim countries banning

• 59:21Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 59:21Speaker 05

  this far-right extremist group. Who is the downstream of the Muslim Brotherhood? Well, look no further than ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, our friends in Hamas, the IRGC, the Taliban. This is who they are. They're telling you out loud, "We're coming for you, we want to bring down the West, we want to practice Sharia law," and we're saying, "Yeah, come to our college campuses." "Yes, Qatar, give us money," like useful idiots. Rob, do you have that one image that I sent you? Tommy Robinson, he said, "This is the three hands you never want joined." Marxism, do you think there's Marxism in America these days? We have democratic socialists being elected. Islamism, Mohammed, um, um, Mamdani.

• 1:00:04Patrick Bet-David?

  You got one of these guys that's going to the White House today.

• 1:00:07Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:00:08Speaker 05

  Mamdani?

• 1:00:09Patrick Bet-David?

  He's all three.

• 1:00:10Speaker 06

  He's literally all three, he's grabbing his hands.

• 1:00:12Speaker 05

  So this is what you need to be scared of, and this is what's... So it's amazing.

• 1:00:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, your thoughts on this? I know you have some strong thoughts on this as well.

• 1:00:18Speaker 06

  Yeah, this was the importance of Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk was going and a proponent of not only, you know, the faith and values many of us, including me, hold dear, but he was trying to engage in debate to get students to think about why they think. You know, Peter King used to write, you know, a really nice column about quarterbacks and football and strategy, and he said, "Here are the things I think I think, and here's why I think I think them." And it was a really marvelous exploratory into the where we get our perceptions, where we get our thoughts, and where we do it. And there was Charlie on campus trying to engage with people to get them to think about why they think things. And we need to do that. College campuses support this. You see this?

• 1:01:02Speaker 06

  College campuses support that. Administrations support that. Because at their heart, liberals, one of the beating hearts inside the liberal cause, is the destruction of the American way of life, and they want to bring that down. And so they allow ends justifies the means. Islam on campus, hey, would that hurt conservatives that bother Judeo-Christian ethics? Yeah, fine, fine, do it, do it. And that's why specifically we can look no further than those three college presidents that were sitting in front of Congress from Penn, MIT, and Columbia, I believe, who got called out because you weren't protecting students who happened to be Jewish,

• 1:01:44Speaker 06

  and you were allowing the, in some cases riots, in some cases demonstrations, in some cases completely out of hand. And the college campuses were allowing it. But what they don't realize is that they are the useful idiots. Because it doesn't, no one's gonna come in to shake their hand and say, "Hey, thank you for letting this on campus, thank you for doing this, thank you for all this." That's not what they're gonna get from these people. They are gonna get, "Okay, now you're next, now you do this." So wait a minute, wait a minute. I let you protest, I let you have your way, I let you your freedom of speech, I let you do all this against these people. Why aren't you happy with me? They don't understand that that's where the party ends. And they say, "Well, no, no, now I'm after you."

• 1:02:26Speaker 06

  It's the same thing as the very poignant expository in Germany, "And then I did nothing, did nothing, and then they came for me, and there is no one for me."

• 1:02:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, I mean, this leads to a story. Six in 10 young Muslims in France prefer Sharia law. Six in 10.

• 1:02:46Speaker 06

  Young ones who have never experienced it, by the way.

• 1:02:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, young ones who's never experienced it. So, a major survey of Islamic community in France has found its younger generation Muslims is far more radical than their predecessors in terms of preferring Sharia law and supporting Islamist organizations like Muslim Brotherhood. The institute François de Opinion Publique, a leading research political polling firm, released this week its annual survey of attitudes amongst Muslims in France, which it had conducted every year since 1989. According to the poll, Muslims ages 15 to 24 are more likely to buy by the hardline interpretations of the Quran and support radical groups than their elders. And indeed, more than the same age cohort 36 years ago, IFOP characterized its finding as worrying

• 1:03:31Patrick Bet-David?

  and said that they undermined conventional narrative of secularization, supposedly underway among French Muslims, with the result exceeding the most pessimistic estimates. Scott?

• 1:03:45Speaker 06

  You've had the demonization of Judeo-Christian society, driving people in this direction. Simultaneously, you've had the demonization of capitalism, driving people to this. In May, YouGov, survey of Americans aged 18 to 29, 62% said they hold a favorable view of socialism. So you have rising sentiments about Islamic culture, you have rising sentiments about socialism, and you have declining sentiments about Western civilization, and you have declining sentiments about capitalism. If that were to continue in the United States, you can see how this would turn out horribly.

• 1:04:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Poof.

• 1:04:28Speaker 06

  Horribly, horribly, for the country.

• 1:04:30Patrick Bet-David?

  How can the Democrats and Republicans unite on this? Or is this impossible? Are they united on this one topic?

• 1:04:38Speaker 06

  I mean, I don't see Democrats doing anything to defend Western civilization right now. Nothing. I see them embracing all sorts of... I mean, look, the most popular Democrat in the country is Mamdani. Look at the data. He's like plus 50 net approval. They love this guy. An open socialist, somebody who has openly antagonized the Jewish population of New York City. He can't even condemn the terrorists who kill people in cold blood. He's the most popular Democrat in the country. Does that sound like people who want to preserve Western civilization? No. That's where their energy is. Those kinds of candidates are the ones that are going to have success in their primaries. They want a revolution.

• 1:05:23Speaker 06

  The only thing I'll add to this... They love Mussolini on day one, too. Of course. The only thing I'll add to this is this, this isn't some random country. This is France. Yeah. Okay? You can maybe count on one hand the countries or the civilizations responsible for freedom and democracy and liberty. United States, UK...

• 1:05:40Patrick Bet-David?

  France, maybe ancient Rome, ancient Greece. And this is the place where Sharia law is taking over? It's only gonna get worse. It's not gonna get better unless they do something about it. Yeah, I think, you know, if you, specifically in this area, it unfortunately, it's inevitable. Can you, Rob, can you pull up how many Muslims do we have in public office today? From the mayoral level to representative? How many do we have? I think the number I saw was either thirty-eight or forty-eight. That's one of the two. If you can pull this up. How many total we have? And it's climbing. And it's not gonna slow down. It's gonna get more and more and more. What is the number? So we got forty-two

• 1:06:24Patrick Bet-David?

  that have won elected public office in the most recent election, forty-two. Four members are currently serving as representatives. Ilhan Omar the other day is giving a speech about Somalians and saying, I am, I think she said something in, in the context was representing Somalia's interest in America. Somalia's interest in America. That's your job? Yeah, she's representing. Is this the one? I am, yeah, that's the one. Can you zoom in a little bit, Rob? My eyes are forty-seven years old, so if you can, I'm here to protect the interest, yeah, right there. It's a long speech. And she's speaking, if you wanna play to see how she speaks. Uh, uh, uh, from the beginning and then. Beautiful language.

• 1:07:08Patrick Bet-David?

  We can pause right there. So she's speaking, no, no, what I mean is she's speaking, I'm not. I'm happy with you what you said, though. You're good. No, no, it's a beautiful language. She's speaking in her Somali language, but what she's saying is she is representing, Rob, can you close this so I can read the quote? What she said, "I'm here to protect the interests of Somalia from within the US system." She's telling you to your face! And she gets away with this? Let me get this straight. You come to America. You either love this place and you defend this place of interest of the people in this place.

• 1:07:47Patrick Bet-David?

  I was born in Iran. I'm Armenian Assyrian. My interests are America first. What do you mean you're here to protect the interests of Somalia from within the US system? No. So when you get something like this, this is where somebody from the outside looks within and says, they're letting them get away with it? Guys, send them. Send all your guys there. America's letting this happen? Send them.

• 1:08:11Speaker 06

  They think we're too weak culturally to stop it. I mean, the assumption would be that they are too weak and too stupid and too sort of culturally afraid.

• 1:08:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Tolerant.

• 1:08:23Speaker 06

  Of course.

• 1:08:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Tolerant.

• 1:08:24Speaker 06

  Can you just fact check one thing? I could be wrong. Of the 42, whatever it was, how many are Republicans? How many are Democrats?

• 1:08:34Speaker 06

  My assumption is zero Republicans. Pat, you're talking about Somalia. You guys know that St. Paul, Minneapolis, is the home of the largest Somali Muslim population in America. 90,000 strong and they're doing prayer in public schools, praying in the middle of the... I sent Rob one, which was one in Chicago, but... And Pat, did you know this? That it's been revealed that Somalians in Minnesota have been using fraudulent autism Medicare claims to fund the Somali terror group Al Shabab with claims rising from $3 million in 2018 to $399 million in 2023, effectively making Minnesota taxpayers the group's largest funders. I sent Rob the thing.

• 1:09:16Speaker 06

  They're doing a scam. They're using our money and it's all going to support terrorism. Congratulations. Good for it. Good for it. Good for you guys. Good job. Good job. Rob, did you get that answer? Pat, I'm sorry. Go to that, Rob. This is Chicago. This is a public school, a school in Chicago. Play the volume, Rob?

• 1:09:35Speaker 06

  Look at that. That's in Chicago in a school.

• 1:09:40Speaker 06

  The Paul in Chicago occupy the campus library and conduct their prayer despite the university designating multiple prayer rooms and the mosques next door. It's not that big of a deal because Al Shabab, they're just an offshoot of Al Qaeda. Oh, okay. That's fine. So like... They're watered down. They're watered down. It's like a Somali version of Al Qaeda.

• 1:09:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Al Qaeda, Al Shabab.

• 1:09:58Speaker 06

  Rob, did you get that answer on how many? It says, "Many of these winners are affiliated with the Democratic Party." Couldn't give me an actual number as to which is Democrat, which is Republican, but again... Many of these winners are affiliated with them.

• 1:10:08Speaker 06

  Write this, is asked, are any Republicans?

• 1:10:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I asked, none are Republicans.

• 1:10:12Speaker 06

  Zero. Bingo. Yeah. So we have a problem here. It's bad. You know who would have hated this, Dick Cheney.

• 1:10:18Speaker 00

  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' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com.

  If he were here right now. He'd be hating it. He would be swinging from the chandeliers here. Do you mean current liberal Rachel Maddow-loving Dick Cheney? He would have hated it. Hopefully they went to war with him. He'd have bombed a different country instead of Somalia.

• 1:11:21Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a video of families. I want to say, Rob, if you can pull this up. I think they're in London, if I'm not mistaken, celebrating. There's this Christmas tree. And look what this guy's doing. You have to see this. Uh, Tommy posted this, Tommy Robinson, if you want to play this clip.

• 1:11:39Patrick Bet-David?

  They're coming.

• 1:11:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at this.

• 1:11:44Patrick Bet-David?

  خَيْرَ شَعْلَّا. Taking pictures in front of the Christmas tree. خَلِّيَّةَ تَكْمِلْهُمْ مَا رُوحُ إن شاءَ الله. Watch this. I will go, إن شاءَ الله, recite some Quran.

• 1:11:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch the boldness.

• 1:12:10Patrick Bet-David?

  See the looks of faces, can pause right there. Mocking right in front of them.

• 1:12:15Speaker 06

  They are not here to assimilate, they're here to dominate. And, and, and Bob, I just sent you really, really quick, there, did you guys see Bill Fasspat, the Muslim migrant that entered a church in Italy? And he started, like, if I was there, it would have been very hard for me. He's yelling and harassing elderly parishioners, wishing death upon them. Look at this. What's interesting is he looks like a nice young kid. Look at the kid. He's in a church. Watch.

• 1:12:40Speaker 06

  Wishing death upon them. Look at this. What's interesting is he looks like a nice young kid. Look at the kid. He's in a church. Watch.

• 1:12:51Speaker 06

  Zayfat. Christian? You're Christian? Obviously, you're Christian.

• 1:12:54Patrick Bet-David?

  What does he do?

• 1:12:55Speaker 06

  He's, watch, watch. God willing, I hope you die. For tomorrow. He's in a church in Italy.

• 1:13:03Speaker 06

  Look at him, look at this demon.

• 1:13:06Speaker 06

  Young kid. Guys, he's always looking at these things hanging here.

• 1:13:11Speaker 06

  My hands started trembling.

• 1:13:16Speaker 06

  He wants to break the cross.

• 1:13:18Speaker 05

  How are you?

• 1:13:19Speaker 06

  Yeah, how are you?

• 1:13:19Speaker 05

  Have you information to, to ask?

• 1:13:23Speaker 06

  This is a boat. Yes. Of the church. Ah, you, ah, you want me to pray here? For this? Yeah, okay. You rot in the bone, you're daughter of a dog.

• 1:13:37Speaker 06

  Like, they're, they're there, Italy's, you're a bit cooked. Imagine, imagine you're in Saudi Arabia, you're Christian, and you're like, doing this in front of a mosque, you'll be beheaded.

• 1:13:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, I'm just telling you, I'm, I'm telling you, it's gonna get nasty in America.

• 1:13:51Speaker 06

  I know, I know.

• 1:13:52Patrick Bet-David?

  It's gonna get nasty in America, and I think the nastiness is gonna be here sooner than we think.

• 1:13:57Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:13:58Patrick Bet-David?

  And, and, and it's gonna be, you know, you know how it's going to be, it's gonna be, you think about the Mongols, or the street bike gangs, you know, who were the other guys? The Hells Angels, and you think about some of these guys, you know, the, the mob in New York, and the Italian mob, and what they were doing. Let me tell you, gangs are gonna make a comeback.

• 1:14:18Speaker 06

  I believe it.

• 1:14:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen to me, I'm telling you, unfortunately, gangs are gonna make a comeback. And when they do, they're gonna go straight for these guys, doing this in the country.

• 1:14:30Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 1:14:30Patrick Bet-David?

  And there's gonna be an element of them where it's gonna be, you know, uh, uh, to them, they're like, wait, you wanna do this? You guys have a lot to lose. We ain't got a lot to lose. Look what we got. I think it's gonna get, I don't want it to get to that point.

• 1:14:42Speaker 06

  I know, but you're right.

• 1:14:43Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't want it.

• 1:14:44Speaker 06

  You're right.

• 1:14:44Patrick Bet-David?

  But I think there's gonna get to a point where if you and I were seventeen, eighteen years old, we got nothing going on in our lives. Think about like me at seventeen, eighteen.

• 1:14:52Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 1:14:52Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, we got nothing going on. I got divorced family, let's go find each other. I think this could go very nasty. And by the way, America doesn't want that.

• 1:15:01Speaker 06

  I know.

• 1:15:02Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't want it to get to that point because there's plenty of, uh, patriots who are, you know, maybe not the, the, the Turning Point USA type of patriots that are gonna sit, they're gonna be more, you know, the Turning Point USA is more calm, nice, conservative, good example. There's gonna be some people that are gonna wake up and they're gonna say, you can't do this, you're tired.

• 1:15:20Speaker 06

  Read about the history of the Minutemen. The Minutemen were created, if you, and I'm not gonna distract here, just, I encourage everybody in American history, go study the Minutemen from, uh, the seventeen eighties. And these were citizens like you and me, citizens like you and me, who are people that were ready to pick up at a minute's notice to defend a very young country from its oppressors. Can I give one quick optimistic piece of, um, anecdote? I would love to see Muslim friends of mine, my dad's from Detroit. I have Chaldean friends, I have Assyrian friends, I have Muslim friends. My mom's from Minneapolis, Somali, like, I have, I'm from Miami. I would love to see Muslims stand up, American flag and say,

• 1:16:05Patrick Bet-David?

  We love America. We love, we love the First Amendment. We love the Constitution. We love the Bill of Rights. We do not stand for Sharia law. We left that side of the world because we did not want to have Sharia law. We love America. I would love to see that. Unfortunately, we don't see too much of that. We see more Allah, and then boom. We just can't have that in America. It's pretty, it's a pretty stark prayer, Brian. That's a good one. Let's go to, let's go to the next one. Let's go to the next one. Next story I want to get into is while all of this stuff is going on, while all of this stuff is going on, you got Nicki Minaj. Out of nowhere, comes praising who? You ready for this? Go for it.

• 1:16:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Nicki Minaj praised for highlighting persecution of Nigerian Christians. And who is she applauding? The last person you would think she would applaud. The current administration of what is taking place. Did you say Nicki Minaj? Yes, I said Nicki Minaj. The rapper? Yes. Nicki Minaj is garnering praise for using her platform to shed light on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria. Ahead of Minaj is scheduled at the United Nations with US Ambassador, UN Mike Walz. Knox Thames, a human rights lawyer, thanked the rapper for the attention that she and the other stars like Bill Maher have brought to the issue. The challenges in Nigeria have been happening for decades and they've largely been ignored.

• 1:17:31Patrick Bet-David?

  So I welcome these unsuspecting allies shining a light on this. Tham said, Rob, if you want to play this clip, here's Nicki Minaj.

• 1:17:38Speaker 03

  ...in way too many places. In Nigeria, Christians are being targeted, driven from their homes and killed. Churches have been burned. Families have been torn apart. And entire communities live in fear constantly, simply because of how they pray. Sadly, this problem is not only a growing problem in Nigeria, but also in so many other countries across the world. And it demands urgent action. And I want to be clear. Protecting Christians in Nigeria is not about taking sides

• 1:18:23Speaker 03

  or dividing people. It is about uniting humanity.

• 1:18:30Speaker 03

  Nigeria is a beautiful nation with deep faith traditions and lots of beautiful bars that I can't wait to see. When one's church, mosque, or place of worship is destroyed, everyone's heart should break just a little bit. And the foundation of the United Nations with its core mandate to ensure peace and security.

• 1:18:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Vinnie, thoughts?

• 1:18:56Speaker 06

  Well, Pat, I haven't heard of Nicki Minaj since, you know, God knows when, when she started blowing up in the hip-hop world. It's, I'm, I'm so happy and so proud of her. Out of every celebrity, Scott, I haven't heard anybody, no LeBron, no Colin Kaepernick, no BLM, no nothing, okay? No nothing about these African Christians that are getting murdered. Okay, 2023, Scott, 4,100 Christians killed. That's 82% of all faith-based killings in the world. 2024, 3,100 Christians killed. January through August, Pat, of this year, 7,000 more Christians were murdered. I sent Rob a clip. Uh, I believe, Pat, this is gunman, that you don't see anything graphic, you hear the

• 1:19:39Speaker 06

  shooting, a storm, St. Mary's Catholic Church in Nigeria, they kidnapped dozens of students. Imagine this, Scott, we're in church and this happens. Go ahead, go ahead, Rob. And then boom, they're shooting outside. And boom, kidnapped 12 kids. Look at this. Two people killed, okay? This is what's happening. This is what, and this is happening all the time. Rob, and then you can stop it, Rob. Since 2009, 185,000 people have been killed in the, in this, in the conflict, and 125,000 Christians, okay? And I get it that prayers, guys, and I'm telling you right now, really, really quick, Pat, I saw this video of this witch, something, um, she was like Satan worshiping something,

• 1:20:24Speaker 06

  Scott. She said that she was so into this world, she would see auras of people, and she said the hardest people for her to get to, I got goosebumps. She could see when people were praying over people and stuff, a blue shield. I'm not even being, I'll, I'll, I'll find the clip. She goes, "We left those people alone." And even No prayers do work. Me and Pat had a conversation. We want, I do a faith-based shirt, uh, Scott, called Faith Over Fear. So we made a Nigeria version that says, pray for Nigeria. And we have the faith over fear on the back. That's awesome. All the prophets are gonna go to Nigeria. We're looking for an actual, there's a couple of them that, that send to all persecuted Christians. We're finding one that's gonna go directly to them. You can go to VTmerch.com, guys. Talk is talk. We love the prayers, but

• 1:21:09Speaker 06

  every prophet that we get, it's, it's the shirts and the hoodies. We're gonna send it to them. And Rob, could you please do me a big favor? Show the church of the, the pastor preaching, uh, if you can, because these people, you want to talk about faith over fear? They know the danger's there. Look at this. Their church was blown up and they still show up because their faith is stronger than fear. Play this real quick, Rob. They're still in church. That's faith over fear personified in real life. That's what I'm talking about. So again, guys, faith over fear. We're gonna send all the prophets, uh, to a Nigerian charity to help these people, uh, cuz they're going through it right now. And I love Nicki Minaj, Scott. The only one, the only one saying anything.

• 1:21:53Speaker 06

  It's, uh, it's dangerous in the entertainment business to stand up for any kind of conservative values, any kind of Christian values. It takes a lot of courage to do it. You know what is amazing to me about this story? A lot of energy expended in this country by media and people in that world for the supposed genocide in Gaza. No energy expended. There's murder statistics you just read. It, that is a genocide against Christians, okay? That's what's happening in Nigeria. The same, you know, a lot of protests, a lot of news coverage, a lot of discussion about this problem in Gaza they are mad about. Nothing. Nothing for these people. Why? What's the difference? Yeah. I'll tell you the difference. They're Christians. That's the difference. I mean,

• 1:22:38Speaker 06

  they don't care. And so Trump and some, the Republicans, now Nicki, I, I mean, I'm glad they're bringing attention to it cuz you're not gonna get it out of the media or the cultural, you know, thought leader types. They're all, they're all worried about certain areas of the world, but they don't, they don't worry about this. I wonder why. Isn't that weird? In Nigeria, the right people are dying. And let's just, just, just call it what it is. As far as the liberal media is concerned, the right people are dying. And that's where it goes. But also, this is, this is a case study. Nigeria has been, uh, classically compromised.

• 1:23:09Patrick Bet-David?

  constitutionally neutral. Um, number one, number two, it's actually the 10th largest oil reserves in the world. And there's a lot of, uh, companies, the usual suspects that are huge in petroleum that have JVs getting Nigerian oil. And the Nigerian government has said, oh, these are non-state groups. Well, over the last 10 years, Nigeria has just now ticked over what percent Muslim population? 51. 51% Muslim. And the government's saying, no, no, these are non-state groups conducting this. And the West, the media doesn't give it attention.

• 1:23:49Patrick Bet-David?

  And the West doesn't really, it's got a lot of, uh, pressures coming not to get in, in the hair of the, um, of the government over there because the government is the one that has the thumb down on the oil reserve exports. So the entire petroleum industry would like to keep everything chill and keep getting oil out of Nigeria. It's very simple. The media doesn't want to talk about the Christians because the right people are dying. And so these, this Islamic emergence, it's the largest Islamic country now in, on the continent of Africa is Nigeria. Two hours ago, breaking news, gunmen have kidnapped 52 Catholic school students in Nigeria.

• 1:24:33Patrick Bet-David?

  This is literally happening right now. So you have gunmen breaking into a Catholic school and kidnapping 52 kids in a Catholic school in Nigeria. This is a government saying, oh, we're neutral and it's grown up around them and now it's too big to ignore and it's almost too big to stop. That's what's happened, Pat. You see this? And what? So now they're the largest Islamic country on the continent of Africa. The government wants to keep the, you, you, you doesn't want to jump in and have to do the dirty work. of sorting through this, they'd rather just keep, they're very rich in oil and minerals, they'd rather just keep that part of it going, oh, these are non-state groups that are in the middle of nowhere, and it's not really a genocide, baloney, and now it's too big to ignore, and they're 50% Muslim country now.

• 1:25:17Speaker 06

  And what do you think is gonna happen to these 52 students, these Catholic kids? What do you think is gonna happen to them? So, we need action, bro.

• 1:25:24Patrick Bet-David?

  We've seen the things, we've seen mass graves, we've seen sites of shootings, we've seen them burned inside buildings, I don't even wanna think about the potential peril that's there, but I wanna think about, is a government that won't stand up and do anything, and go out and take care of it, the limited police actions and the limited effectiveness against these groups is horrifying.

• 1:25:46Speaker 06

  Don't worry, we got the United Nations.

• 1:25:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:25:49Speaker 06

  I'm sure they're on it.

• 1:25:51Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what?

• 1:25:52Speaker 06

  You mean the same United Nations that gets up and leaves when Bibi Netanyahu gives the speech? I'm sure, I'm sure they're all over it.

• 1:25:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Sometimes Hollywood's caricatures are correct, and in a movie done by some conservative satirist, Trey Parker, called Team America, they have hands bricks, and he says, "And what will you do about it? We will send you a letter telling you just how upset we are."

• 1:26:16Speaker 06

  Yeah, and that's it.

• 1:26:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Welcome, the UN.

• 1:26:18Speaker 06

  Trump, Trump has leverage, you know, he's threatened these guys, and, you know, he does have leverage over them, economic and other kinds of leverage, I mean, he's pretty exercised about it right now, we'll see what he wants to do, but I wouldn't, I wouldn't wait for the rest of the world to get on it, I mean, it will, it will be us or it will be nobody, I mean, that's the sad reality, it will be us or it will be nobody, it will be us that takes care of these people killing the Christians, or it will be nobody.

• 1:26:45Patrick Bet-David?

  He can do an energy embargo, Exxon is huge, Shell is huge, but that's Royal Dutch, he could tell Exxon, "I don't want you buying any of the oil from there, I wanna shut off the funds coming to them, because I need to get the government's attention, so they can take care of their people and take care of what's going on here."

• 1:27:01Speaker 06

  So... And it doesn't take American troops, it takes one American pen. You know, you talked about this earlier, Scott, I'll just kinda put a ribbon on it, nobody talks about this, because we learned over the last couple of years, no Jews, no news, Christians are the most persecuted people on earth, unfortunately, they're on the verge of extinction in the Middle East, because certain people in the Middle East don't want them in their country anymore. Here's a quick little...

• 1:27:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Thing Lebanon used to be mostly Christian. Now it's less than a third. Syria 14%, 1%. Jordan 20 down to 2. Iraq Christians are getting run out of the Middle East. And I wish it was just Nigeria that always. You see what's going on with the Druze in Syria. The Christians in Syria with the Kurds all over the Middle East, all over the Levant, the Yazidis. Certain elements of Islamism. I'm not saying Islam Islamism. Political Islam wants nothing but Sharia law and jihad. And Christians, for the most part, are the ones in their way. The Jews are only in their way in Israel. Christians are everywhere all over the Middle East.

• 1:28:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Every single major city Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad, the list goes on. They all used to be Christian cities. Now they're all Muslim cities and they won't stop until they take over now Northern Africa and beyond. And by the way, while we're talking about this, um, M'Nani, you know, today, I think he's visiting the president. And he actually, believe it or not, respect to him, he approached the president about visiting the White House, not the other way around. He, he wanted to come and visit. And then the president said what he said communist, you know, mayor, New York City is coming. And then Caroline Levitt also in her press conference said communist mayor is coming. So they're all aligned on the same page with messaging.

• 1:28:53Patrick Bet-David?

  But here's, if you have M'Nani's clip about him coming to the White House, Rob, this is before and after, whichever one you got, Robbie can play, it's totally fine. Go ahead. I will be heading to Washington DC tomorrow to meet with President Trump in the White House. It is customary for an incoming mayor of this city to meet with the White House, given the mutual reliance. It's more critical than ever, given the national crisis of affordability, one that New Yorkers know very well across these five boroughs and the specific challenge many cities are facing with balancing public safety against steps taken by this administration. I know that for tens of thousands of New Yorkers, this meeting is between two very

• 1:29:35Patrick Bet-David?

  different candidates who they voted for for the same reason. They wanted a leader who would take on the cost.

• 1:29:41Speaker 00

  ...of living crisis that makes it impossible for working people to afford living in this city. My team reached out to the White House to set up this meeting because I will work with anyone to make life more affordable for the more than eight and a half million people who call this city home. I have many disagreements with the president and I believe that we should be relentless and pursue all avenues and all meetings that could make our city affordable for every single New Yorker. I intend to make it clear to President Trump that I will work with him on any agenda that benefits New Yorkers. If an agenda hurts New Yorkers, I will also be the first to say so. Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side.

• 1:30:25Speaker 00

  But Rob Whitman? Whitman's votes drove up costs, cut Medicaid, and risked 350,000 Virginians' health care to pay for tax breaks for himself and his donors. He's not on our side. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the HouseMajorityPact.com.

  Okay, so Scott, your thoughts? Is it gonna be theatrics? Is it gonna be a Zelensky type of a look? Or is it gonna be actually diplomatic, wanting to find a way to work together?

• 1:31:30Speaker 06

  Well, I would hope that they would talk about ways to work together. I just have no belief that Mamdani knows what he's doing at all. The guy's never had a job. He's never, he's not qualified to manage the city of New York. And already, the things he promised in the campaign, he's having to explain now, well, we can't do, we can't do this, we can't do that. By the way, he spent a good chunk of his post-election time saying that one of his top priorities is if Netanyahu comes here, I'm gonna arrest him if he comes to New York City. And he spent a lot of time saying, you know, I'm not gonna cooperate, and in fact, I'm gonna try to impede federal law enforcement if they come here to enforce immigration law. So I kinda hope Trump sort of explains to Mamdani how the world works. Like, I'll handle the international diplomacy.

• 1:32:12Speaker 06

  I'm the president, and by the way, you're not going to stop me from enforcing existing federal laws on immigration. You know, we haven't passed any new laws since Trump became the president. These are the laws. They're the existing laws. But Mamdani, like every other local Democrat, mayor and governor, believes that it is their responsibility to try to impede and stop the federal government and federal law enforcement from enforcing existing laws. So I hope Trump sets him straight on this. And I would love it if they could talk about things, but I'll tell you this, socialism is not the cure for affordability. I can assure you of that. Go to a socialist country and find out if they think things are affordable or good. It's not. Look at Venezuela. Yeah, I mean, it, you know, we just haven't tried it enough. I mean, that's kind

• 1:32:54Speaker 06

  of, we just haven't gone all the way. I assure you, you don't want to go all the way. Here's some good news coming out of New York. Mamdani, who hates billionaires, who he wants to redistribute wealth, wants to seize the means of production, he's doing a big fundraiser. He just asked for $3 million. I don't know if you have, if you have. Yeah, he asked for three more. Hey, guys, you know I don't like money and billionaires.

• 1:33:13Patrick Bet-David?

  I told you to stop giving, but I gotta ask you to start giving again.

• 1:33:16Speaker 06

  He did another, Tom, there's another one. There's a part two where he goes, remember I said that, brother? It's so cringe. But now we need your money. Do you have that, Rob?

• 1:33:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Don't, don't play that. We've played it already. I mean, the audience gets it. Mamdani has seen the spreadsheet. The reason Mamdani is going to New York is one thing. His crew has said, listen, we got to find a way to play nice with the White House because we can get the money from Albany, but then we need Albany to get the money from the, from the US government. That's what's going on here. He wants to push the socialism. He's trying to get Hokel, and all of a sudden Hokel slips, hits her head in the shower, stands up and says, you know what, maybe there should be a 3% tax higher on businesses here in New York. And she needs that because she needs a bucket of money to help New York because New York's in a deficit situation. New York is going to have a hard time selling more bonds. Go Google Goldman Sachs bonds, New York State, and you'll find out that

• 1:34:05Patrick Bet-David?

  state's having a harder time selling bonds to make up its debt. So what has he had to do? He's got to go play nice with the president so that he, they can get money back to New York State from the taxpayers of these United States. It's that simple.

• 1:34:19Speaker 06

  We don't have to show the clip, but he was sitting down.

• 1:34:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Nothing's changed. Attitudes aren't changing, his programs aren't changing, I'm sorry.

• 1:34:23Speaker 06

  No, no, no, it's all good.

• 1:34:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Put the period on that.

• 1:34:25Speaker 06

  No, it's all good.

• 1:34:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Nothing's changing in his positions. He still wants to do what he said he's gonna do. Believe him. This is, um, this is a, a, his team telling him, go play nice. And find a way to say about it. I know what I'll say. Hello, everyone. Good morning. It's traditional for the incoming mayor to go visit the, the White House. Because underneath it's like, otherwise he wouldn't do it. Cause he, because he hates all that Trump stands for. We need to understand what's really going on here.

• 1:34:52Speaker 06

  And in an interview yesterday, or the day before.

• 1:34:54Patrick Bet-David?

  More coffee, please.

• 1:34:55Speaker 06

  Yes. Somebody asked about the free buses, so I want New Yorkers to know they got swindled. The interviewer says, how are you gonna get the 700 million to make the buses free if the governor is not gonna raise the taxes? He says, raise the corporate tax. And he goes, she said no. And this is him, quote, "The most important fact is that we fund it, not the question of how we do it." That's his actual words out of his mouth. Oh, we don't, so New York, congratulations, you got played. Details. Details. Yeah, exactly.

• 1:35:20Patrick Bet-David?

  PBD, do you think this is a good move for Trump to meet with him? Cause I think. Yes. I actually think it's a bad move. I think, number one, he's not gonna change Mamdani's stance. Mamdani's certainly not gonna change Trump. But what it does do, here's my critique. It's gonna legitimize and give this guy Mamdani a photo op with the leader of the free world saying yes. Listen.

• 1:35:42Speaker 06

  Oh, no, pardon.

• 1:35:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you. It's kinda like when the Syrian president came in, Al-Shabaab, Al-Shara. Listen. Legitimizing these people. Say whatever you wanna say, the guy won. Okay, you can say whatever you wanna say. He beat Adams, Sliwa, and Cuomo. He won. So I, I don't care what anybody wants to make from him, because then what is the differentiation between us saying, well, you know, legitimate president Trump is not a legitimate president? No, this guy won the mayor, and he got the votes. And he did in the biggest city in America, so guess what? Trump, deep down inside, if you notice one thing about him, he respects winners. Yep. And Mamdani won. Doesn't mean he agrees with him.

• 1:36:21Speaker 06

  And.

• 1:36:22Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, so for me, I think it's a good move that he's doing it, because the way it's gonna be is the following. Here's, here's what I think is probably gonna end up happening. And Scott, I wanna get your commentary on this, because you're more connected to this than I am. I think. I think Trump's gonna meet with them. Show New Yorkers, hey. I'm even getting to the point of wanting to meet with a guy like this. Just so. You see that New York matters to me. Then. Trump is brilliant. If he ends up later on saying. That he's funding something. Or is building a bridge or he's doing something. The only way he brokers that deal. Is by getting Mamdani to thank him.

• 1:37:05Patrick Bet-David?

  It's gonna be thanking him. Then when he thanks him, right now, a Siena poll came out yesterday talking about the fact that Hokel. Is ahead against Stefanik by 20 points. Even though Lee Zeldin only lost by 5.7%. Siena poll. Which depending on how much credibility you give to them. 20 points ahead of Stefanik. So I think the way Trump's gonna handle this. Could be the reason whether Stefanik. Ends up or Republican person ends up winning the governorship. In in New York or not, Trump is playing. Strategy. In my opinion, and I think he's making the right move. My opinion, Scott.

• 1:37:44Speaker 06

  Yeah, I I think you're right, and I think his interest in New York City. And New York City politics is deep. I mean, he's the President of the United States. He sort of lives in Florida now, but. He's a New York guy. I mean, this is his hometown. He has definite opinions about. The way the city ought to be run and and what's going on there and the things he's done there. So. I'm not shocked that he's meeting with him and I I tend to think it's it's a good move. New York does need the feds. They do need Trump. And he's gonna force Mamdani to admit that ultimately.

• 1:38:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, he will.

• 1:38:14Speaker 06

  He will force him to.

• 1:38:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Either Mamdani's ego is gonna get in the way. Or. He's gonna get him to say. Hey, you know, you have to give respect to the president. Without the President Trump, this would have never happened. The funding of X, Y, Z. Wait for that in the next.

• 1:38:28Speaker 06

  And Mamdani is. He's a talented actor, but he has no real political experience. Trump. Now he's tangling with. With the bear.

• 1:38:36Patrick Bet-David?

  The big boy.

• 1:38:37Speaker 06

  Now we're in the now we're in the big leagues and so. Seen a lot of world leaders on those two chairs in front of the fireplace and Trump leans over. Accept what you think, my friend here, and he's the. Troller in chief and I think he's gonna, he's gonna do the right thing. Yeah. Can I hone in on what you said, Mr. Jennings? You said he's a talented actor. What do you mean by that? Do you think he's faking it or do you think he actually believes this stuff? Oh, I, look, I, I think he is dedicated to socialism. Uh, but I think he is, he's a showman. He is, he is an actor. I mean, if you look at the way he ran his campaign. He's a marketer. He is a marketer and, and that's what he's good at. I mean, he's talented in front of a camera. Mm-hmm, no doubt.

• 1:39:21Speaker 06

  But based on, I mean, he has no idea how to do any, I mean, I think he's dedicated to this socialism, but he has no idea what to do about anything. How are we gonna fund the buses? I don't know, that's not important, we're just gonna do it. Well, nobody that subscribes to socialism doesn't have an idea, because it's never worked. It's kind of an empty sort of, you know, it's an empty, empty market.

• 1:39:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, look, again, I, I, I am, today, this afternoon, you're gonna see the optics when they meet, what it's gonna be like, and we'll all be tuning in. By the way, quick shout out to one of the best, uh, uh, uh, great guy, great father, uh, great quarterback, quarterback of WA, and winner, won the championship in college, Danny Canell. It's your birthday today.

• 1:40:01Speaker 06

  Happy birthday, Diddy!

• 1:40:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Happy birthday, Danny.

• 1:40:04Speaker 06

  You're a giant.

• 1:40:04Patrick Bet-David?

  And, uh, at the same time, shout out to Chris Mono, he is officially a daddy.

• 1:40:09Speaker 06

  Oh, that's amazing, we love you, man. Chicken nugget. Oh, wow, so great to hear from those guys.

• 1:40:13Patrick Bet-David?

  One of the best guys in the world, man. And if you don't watch VT Sports, go watch VT Sports, we're gonna put the link below.

• 1:40:19Speaker 06

  Studs.

• 1:40:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Danny Canell and Chris Mono, go tune in, they got some great commentary with VT Sports, Danny Canell and Chris Mono. Okay, let's continue. So, next story I wanna get into is, is, some of you guys, if you're watching this, you may say, "Look, I have pretty high IQ," I've been told, "you've taken some online IQ tests." Well, you know, somebody questioned the IQ stuff with Scott Jennings, and I just wanna show you this, and, and you tell me how you process this when it comes onto IQ. They tried to almost get Scott, unfortunately, it didn't work out, and it kinda backfired. Go ahead, Rob. Scott, you keep saying, "Well, he didn't do anything, there's no indication..."

• 1:40:57Speaker 06

  If that's true, he should be elated that we're putting these things out. It's not if that's true, it is true. Can you name any evidence? I would like to see the evidence. What I'm saying is- You think after 10 years of public life, you wouldn't know it already? No, I don't. That's exactly the point. Oh my goodness. This is an IQ test. Don't fail it. Come on, man. 10 years that Trump has been in public life.

• 1:41:18Speaker 04

  Scott, it is an IQ test. I mean, for 10 years, we haven't heard any names. So you really think that no one's involved?

• 1:41:25Speaker 06

  No, obviously Larry Summers was involved, Stacey Plaskett was involved, all kinds of people involved. Just real quick, I just want to bring it back to something that just happened.

• 1:41:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh oh, here we go.

• 1:41:34Speaker 06

  I feel like I just heard Scott calling to question this black man's intelligence.

• 1:41:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Real quick, let me play the race card real quick.

• 1:41:41Speaker 06

  I feel like I heard that. And so I just want to say something. This is what it sounded like. You want to make it racist, go ahead, but it's ridiculous. Well, I mean, I think that- By the way, we know each other and we're friends. I'm not, I know this man. He's a smart guy and we're having a debate. We're having a debate. Don't make it into some, we don't even know each other, but we do. That's true, by the way. That guy sitting next to me, I met that guy like literally five minutes before the show started. I don't even know who he is. I don't know what he does. The other guy I do know. In fact, we've been on TV together before. Obviously, we don't agree on a lot of politics. He is a smart guy. He's a good guy. And we can have debates because we're adults. And this guy shows up, knows, I've met this guy for five minutes. He's out here calling me a racist.

• 1:42:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Who is he? Where is he from?

• 1:42:23Speaker 06

  Dos is his name. I don't know. I don't know what he does. I don't know where he came from. Nobody knows.

• 1:42:29Patrick Bet-David?

  He has a PhD in identity politics. He's a postgrad in playing the race card. And one of the most vibrant uses of victim mentality we've seen on CNN ever. So that's that guy right there.

• 1:42:41Speaker 06

  I wouldn't say ever.

• 1:42:41Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, on CNN in real life, like I know you can't say this, a regular guy would look and be like, shut your ass up. Like, that's what the kind of response should get. Playing the race card. It's so weak.

• 1:42:55Speaker 06

  So we were talking about Trump meeting with the Saudis and he's like, I don't know why we're being buddies with these countries that treat women so terribly. I said, oh really? I said, what country in the Middle East treats women the best?

• 1:43:08Speaker 06

  And he looks at me and he goes, I don't even, that isn't even my point. I said, no, you said we shouldn't be buddies with people who treat women terribly. What country should we be buddies with?

• 1:43:18Speaker 06

  Well, I just don't think that's the point. It's Israel. You can, it's okay. You can say that they're the ones with the human rights in the Middle East. And the look of fear and despair and defeat on this guy's face. I put it out on my social media.

• 1:43:29Patrick Bet-David?

  This guy right here?

• 1:43:30Speaker 06

  This guy right here. I mean,

• 1:43:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's find him.

• 1:43:32Speaker 06

  Never have I walked somebody in a trap.

• 1:43:34Patrick Bet-David?

  I want to see this clip.

• 1:43:35Patrick Bet-David?

  I love intellectual posterizing. Did you put it on your Twitter account?

• 1:43:39Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, it's on.

• 1:43:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you go after Rob? What am I seeing it?

• 1:43:42Speaker 06

  I did see this one. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, he, He's out of his league. He literally came in and some people have an agenda where it's like, I'm going to make everything about race. Like you felt like, by the way, he thought that that was a got you moment. Like that was a moment like Scott. Yeah. You're being racist. Go down, go down. In this debate. It's absolutely ridiculous.

• 1:43:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I feel like I heard that.

• 1:43:59Speaker 06

  Yeah, when you don't have an argument, you have to go to the, you have to play the race card. You have to.

• 1:44:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I have to see this.

• 1:44:04Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah. You will, let's see. No, keep going. That's me talking. That's me begging Sydney Sweeney for something. Keep going. I beg her, I beg her all the time, Seth. Here we go. Here it is.

• 1:44:15Speaker 03

  To me, this is when we look our weakest, when we, when we buddy up with people who have had abhorrent records on human rights violations, particularly towards the women in their, in their, in their countries.

• 1:44:26Speaker 04

  Landscape.

• 1:44:27Speaker 06

  This is a criticism of Islamic governments, is it not?

• 1:44:30Speaker 03

  It might be.

• 1:44:31Speaker 06

  So who in the Middle East would you say is the most progressive on women's rights and other human rights?

• 1:44:35Speaker 03

  That's so far from my point. I don't know how we,

• 1:44:37Speaker 06

  You said we're buddying up with people who are bad to women. Who is good to women?

• 1:44:41Speaker 03

  My, my point was always,

• 1:44:43Speaker 06

  It's Israel. We can answer it. It's Israel.

• 1:44:46Speaker 06

  Look at his face. Look at his face. I have no idea what's going on.

• 1:44:51Patrick Bet-David?

  But I'm assuming this guy probably has a degree from Columbia or something like that. Rob, can you look him up to see?

• 1:44:59Speaker 06

  Doss.

• 1:45:00Patrick Bet-David?

  D O S S. Is it D O S S or?

• 1:45:02Speaker 06

  Joshua Doss.

• 1:45:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you look up, what school did he go to? He probably went to a Berkeley or a, at least he speaks like he went to a school like that. Let's see where he went to.

• 1:45:12Speaker 06

  Debate classes can come in handy. Victim U? What is that?

• 1:45:15Patrick Bet-David?

  University of,

• 1:45:16Speaker 06

  Internet personality. That's how he describes himself.

• 1:45:18Patrick Bet-David?

  That personality. Yeah, but where did you? Whenever you say that, there's not much to go with it. What school did you go to?

• 1:45:23Speaker 06

  This is the same guy.

• 1:45:25Patrick Bet-David?

  And so Joshua, the TV researcher Joshua during his.

• 1:45:28Speaker 06

  The ball player?

• 1:45:29Patrick Bet-David?

  NCWAP, NCAA Melinda Gates Foundation.

• 1:45:32Speaker 06

  That looks like him. Yeah, so it looks like, uh. South Dakota.

• 1:45:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Josh has been featured in New York Times, South Dakota. Okay. South Dakota? Well, no, he played ball over. He played there. So he's the one black dude in South Dakota?

• 1:45:44Speaker 06

  He's from Chicago, Illinois.

• 1:45:46Patrick Bet-David?

  He was from Chicago, Illinois.

• 1:45:47Speaker 06

  Tased.

• 1:45:48Patrick Bet-David?

  All right. Well, I mean, look, here's what it is.

• 1:45:50Speaker 06

  He did play 16 minutes against Western Illinois once, so he does have that going for him.

• 1:45:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, wow. That's impressive. Okay. All right, let's go to. Well, athletes don't normally go to class. Exhibit 28. Let's go. No, no, it's, it's, it's great that he's on there, but when you go up against somebody like Scott Jones, you have to be ready for it. Of the hundreds of people and intellectuals and great minds that could debate, that could be on there. Stephen A. Smith. Him. Stephen A. Smith breaks silence on shocking ESPN X. And now this is a man that knows how to debate. So everybody's talking about what happened with Stephen A. What's going on with him? Did, did, did something happen? Did they say they don't like the fact that he's talking too much politics? What happened with Stephen A. Smith? Here's Stephen A. responding to all the questions people have. Go for it.

• 1:46:36Speaker 06

  The New York Post is out with an article about me, and apparently it's like breaking news or something like that. Stephen A. Smith is not on NBA Countdown. I'm kind of disappointed because that means, you know, somebody's not watching me, and I'm used to everybody watching. I negotiated a new deal with ESPN, a new five-year deal. That deal was negotiated between June of 2024 and March into April of 2025. I didn't want to be on the show. I negotiated coming off of it. Now, I love doing NBA Countdown, but once the Countdown show is over, I got other things to do than to be in studio, watching the doubleheader and coming on at halftime.

• 1:47:18Speaker 06

  I got other stuff that I want to do to prepare for First Take the next day, the next morning, and to do an abundance of other things that I aspire to do. Of course, I'm still there to contribute. You see me, ladies and gentlemen, I'm on my.

• 1:47:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Monday night countdown for the NFL. I've been on there twice. I'll be on there a third time when the Eagles visit the Los Angeles Chargers. By the way, he's been very vocal lately. The New York Post is out. I don't know if you've been watching some of the stuff he's saying. So meaning. This was part of the contract he negotiated. It's not an exit. However. He is talking openly about politics and it's not like he just started after he signed the contract. Bob Iger knew who he was signing because Stephen A. started talking politics when. Quite a long time ago. Okay. Like the tale of uh. Twenty uh twenty four is when he started really getting political. I would say somewhere around that time, maybe even earlier. When he was talking and he called Kamala Harris and then the rest is history. So.

• 1:48:14Speaker 06

  Election season.

• 1:48:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, election season. So there's Stephen A. He's still with ESPN. Everything's. Have you done stuff with Stephen A. Or no?

• 1:48:21Speaker 06

  Nah, uh, about to. I'm doing a show, uh, his radio show very soon.

• 1:48:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Fantastic. Yeah, he is. He is a.

• 1:48:27Speaker 06

  Fascinating guy.

• 1:48:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Fascinating guy and he's very complimentary of you as well.

• 1:48:31Speaker 06

  He loves me. Well, well, shut up, Vinnie. What was the article? I heard some noise. What was the article that the New York Post tried to disseminate on him? What do you have the article? What they tried to say?

• 1:48:41Patrick Bet-David?

  They're talking to.

• 1:48:42Speaker 06

  They tried to speculate as if he was like.

• 1:48:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 1:48:44Speaker 06

  Cancel something like that?

• 1:48:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 1:48:45Speaker 06

  Yeah. Look, Stephen A. Smith is an absolute beast. NBA Countdown is one of a litany of shows. That that he does, namely First Take, NFL. He's done. He does Monday Night Countdown. He's also spending a lot more time in Miami. Uh, he is a, what I would call a verbal gangster. He, he, he. He puts up points with his mouth. Any show would be a, he'd be a great asset to any single show. And now he's doing his own thing politically and he's gonna have the great Scott Jennings on soon.

• 1:49:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me go to Vinnie. Were you gonna say something? Okay, I'm gonna go to the, I'm gonna go to this next story here. I'm gonna go to this next story here. This next story I want to go to is, you know, twenty twenty eight frontrunner. Uh, political touts to be Gavin Newsom as the candidate to run for president. Okay, frontrunner. Meanwhile, California is facing projected eighteen billion dollar deficit as Newsom's heads. Into his last year as governor. Okay?

• 1:49:42Patrick Bet-David?

  So when you look at Rob, is this the one with?

• 1:49:45Speaker 06

  This is the deficit. This is a new. Report in the deficit in California.

• 1:49:48Patrick Bet-David?

  How how fast do they get into it?

• 1:49:50Speaker 06

  Right off the bat.

• 1:49:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, go for it.

• 1:49:52Speaker 01

  California is facing a major budget deficit next year. The California Legislative Analyst Office is predicting a budget shortfall of almost $18 billion. ABC's Jenny Nguyen is here to explain where most of the money is being spent. Alex, the Department of Finance says the estimate is not off, and it's something the state has been expecting leading into the next year. The state blames the deficit on a number of things like Trump administration cuts and spending on education.

• 1:50:18Speaker 06

  It's Trump.

• 1:50:18Speaker 01

  And says this will be a priority for the governor and the legislature in the new year.

• 1:50:22Speaker 02

  The legislative analyst has highlighted a number of the challenges that that we and the governor have underscored throughout 2025.

• 1:50:31Speaker 01

  The challenge is a potential $18 billion deficit for the state's budget next year. In a new report, the Legislative Analyst Office predicts the shortfall will be $5 billion larger than Governor Gavin Newsom initially expected. H.D. Palmer with the Department of Finance says there are a number of factors that contribute to this number, like Proposition 98 that guarantees minimum funding for K through 12 schools and community colleges. The Trump administration also has cut federal funding over the past year.

• 1:50:58Speaker 02

  Things like record federal uncertainty, things like volatility in the stock markets, things like increasing pressures from cost and caseload in some of the state's major programs.

• 1:51:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Robbie can pause right there. So obviously, there's a lot of stuff that's going on over there with him, but are you in the same place that he's going to be the frontrunner for Democrats in 2028?

• 1:51:17Speaker 06

  I think he might be by polling the frontrunner now. I do not believe he will be the nominee.

• 1:51:23Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't think he'll be the nominee?

• 1:51:24Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:51:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Who do you think is going to be the nominee?

• 1:51:26Speaker 06

  Well, I think there's there's two roads. One is the socialist energy in their party may lead them to nominate AOC. Or they're sort of where the Republicans were after 2012, kind of, you know, fed up. Maybe we need an outsider, like somebody totally outside the completely totally outside the system. That's why, like Stephen A. Smith, or, I mean, these outside, when your party is so decimated and you have such, there's no real leader, outside forces, this is what the Republicans did, decimated. They turned to Trump, not part of the structure, not, and they turned to Trump. Democrats, they got similar dynamics, but the socialist energy in their party is a real thing.

• 1:52:09Speaker 06

  And so I think those are the two roads that are most likely, in my opinion, but a long way to go.

• 1:52:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom thinks it's going to be Pritzker. What do you think about that?

• 1:52:17Speaker 06

  Well, he's, he's going to need to, uh, it's hard running for president. It's physically difficult. I'm just telling you. I mean, I'm, I'm being dead serious. It's gonna, he's gonna have to fix that. What are you trying to say that JB Pritzker isn't the epitome of a good health? I'm just saying, it's hard to run. And, uh, look, I've struggled with it in my life. I'm just telling you, it's, it's hard to run. And, uh, but also I find him to be a clown as well. And so, I mean, I, these, these guys that are just standard issue politicians. That's what he is. It's a rich kid who was kicked out of his family company. He's standard issue politician. A billionaire. The party that says no more billionaires is gonna nominate the billionaire?

• 1:52:53Patrick Bet-David?

  He was kicked out of his family business?

• 1:52:55Speaker 06

  Oh, they don't want, they, they, they don't want him around. Are they on the Hyatt?

• 1:52:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Have you met his cousin? Jennifer Pritzker?

• 1:53:03Speaker 06

  Look at how, like, the, wait, I mean, if you're into like models, like, like runway models, that's, this is?

• 1:53:09Patrick Bet-David?

  That's Jennifer.

• 1:53:11Speaker 06

  What?

• 1:53:11Patrick Bet-David?

  That's Jennifer. By the way, actually, we're not joking. That's his cousin.

• 1:53:16Speaker 06

  Okay. What's her, what's her story?

• 1:53:18Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, it's not her story.

• 1:53:20Speaker 06

  Her.

• 1:53:21Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a, it's a.

• 1:53:22Speaker 06

  What do you mean? It's he, she.

• 1:53:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:53:24Speaker 06

  She was. She was born James Nicholas Pritzker. I call him Jimmy Boy.

• 1:53:28Patrick Bet-David?

  She became.

• 1:53:29Speaker 06

  Jimmy Boy. Do you want to turn the rest of America into California? Do you want to turn the rest of America into Chicago? I mean, that is the simple question one would have to ask.

• 1:53:39Patrick Bet-David?

  The Republicans better have a good formidable person to go up against them. They better be ready because right now, the, the, they have, they have some work to do with thinking that, you know, daddy Trump is gonna come and solve all their problems. They're, they're, it's, it's, it's gonna be a lot, they can't automatically assume it's gonna be done.

• 1:53:58Speaker 06

  I was at their Democratic National Convention last summer and the most surreal thing, I'm sitting there up in the booth with Van Jones and the guys. And so Bernie Sanders comes out and gives this rip-roaring speech. Screw the billionaires. We're gonna throw the billionaires out. And then the announcer comes on. Ladies and gentlemen, JB Pritzker.

• 1:54:18Speaker 06

  And then Pritzker waddles out. And I'm sitting there thinking, I thought we were gonna, I guess they couldn't hoist him out of the window. Like, I guess we couldn't get him out.

• 1:54:27Patrick Bet-David?

  It was a pretty funny moment.

• 1:54:28Speaker 06

  I mean, literally back to back.

• 1:54:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he, did he touch it at all at the beginning or no? Did he say anything?

• 1:54:34Speaker 06

  I don't think, I don't think.

• 1:54:35Patrick Bet-David?

  No, he went up there and he said an actual billionaire and he picked on Donald Trump and he reprised the whole thing about.

• 1:54:41Speaker 06

  Are you, are you, are you serious that you think that AOC has a better chance to be the nominee than Gavin Newsom? Yes, yes. AOC? Yes. When's the last time a representative was the, uh, the nominee at any major party? Strange times, I'm telling you. Well, I agree with that. They voted for Mamdani in New York overwhelmingly. Yeah, that's a, that's a liberal bastion in New York City. But, but ready for this? You wanna throw down, buddy? With the mainstream media and the way that they are, Gavin, they're gonna make him look like, brother, he is so popular in that party. And look at the resume of California, 18 billion a dollar deficit, 24 billion for homelessness, the number went up. So what's your point? That they're going to nominate Newsom?

• 1:55:18Speaker 06

  No, my, my point, I, I think he's gonna be the frontrunner, but the scary part is, the scary part is, people will vote, these angry white liberal women that we're seeing blowing up everywhere. They just, it's the resentment of this, like you said, conservative, Christian, America first movement, cause at the end of the day, Scott, whoever it is, I don't care who they put, because they're gonna be, even an outsider. Scott, think about their first order of business, especially for Gavin Newsom is what? Open the border, number one. The invasion is coming right back, okay? Even with his resume, Scott. To this man you listen. Thank you. With illegals, they're gonna give them all the money, Scott, and then whatever, they're gonna, right now actively, they're trying to reverse Trump's tariffs. We're kicking ass, we're making billions, anything that is, is going right, they're gonna reverse it, and you're gonna see it happen on day one.

• 1:56:03Speaker 06

  Who is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination at this point, ahead of 2016? Assumably Jeb Bush.

• 1:56:09Patrick Bet-David?

  140, 140 million.

• 1:56:11Speaker 06

  So, so, just because you're the frontrunner today, I mean, they, people know these politicians, so the name ID is there. I'm just telling you, the energy is AOC. That's, that's the spiritual ener, the godfather is Bernie, and he almost got it twice. They, they held him off twice. Yep. I don't know if they're gonna hold him off again.

• 1:56:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me ask you a question. Do you think AOC is gonna perform better than Kamala?

• 1:56:38Speaker 06

  A general election? Yes. No, I don't.

• 1:56:40Speaker 02

  What?

• 1:56:41Speaker 06

  I don't.

• 1:56:42Speaker 02

  I think she's a far better talent. Don't you think?

• 1:56:45Speaker 06

  Sure. Everyone's a better. Everybody's a better talent than Kamala. Everybody. But let's, okay. The, just speaking numbers for a second. The US federal budget fact check. This is about six, seven trillion dollars. That's what Trump is responsible for. Gavin Newsom in California is responsible about 300 billion in California. And he's, and he's running a shortfall of 18 billion. Kamala Harris at least was an attorney general, Senator, Vice President. Other than having a lot of Twitter followers, ex-followers. AOC is a Congresswoman in the Bronx. She's done nothing. Not, what's her accolades? Give me her resume. What bills has she passed? Show me something AOC has done.

• 1:57:25Speaker 00

  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. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com.

• 1:58:29Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 1:58:29Speaker 02

  To tell you that would inform you that he could run New York City.

• 1:58:32Speaker 06

  There's a big difference between being elected to mayor or congressperson than president.

• 1:58:37Speaker 02

  People will vote for people.

• 1:58:39Speaker 06

  On emotion.

• 1:58:39Speaker 02

  On emotion.

• 1:58:40Speaker 06

  You're damn right. Guys.

• 1:58:41Speaker 02

  Democrats are ruled by emotion.

• 1:58:44Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:58:45Speaker 02

  Not, I'm not saying she could win a national election. Democrat-

• 1:58:49Speaker 06

  Democrats are ruled by emotion. Do you mean women? No. Democrats in general liberals. I'm not with some people, I'm not with some people that think women shouldn't vote, but we should really reconsider how their voting tendencies. I'm just telling you.

• 1:59:03Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, well we'll see.

• 1:59:04Speaker 06

  She knows, she knows, she knows how to reflect their energy.

• 1:59:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Count, she has Newsom 37, AOC 10, and Kamala Harris 6. Man, listen.

• 1:59:12Speaker 06

  I would buy AOC, fade Harris. Harris is dumb.

• 1:59:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Buy AOC.

• 1:59:18Speaker 06

  Right now on that? No.

• 1:59:20Patrick Bet-David?

  To be the nominee, 10 or 1?

• 1:59:21Speaker 06

  Oh buddy. All right, look at, look at the size of the cumulative wager.

• 1:59:24Patrick Bet-David?

  28 million bucks.

• 1:59:25Speaker 06

  And we are, we're only halfway, we're only, excuse me, 80% of the way through 2020.

• 1:59:30Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, I, I would put my money on AOC at those odds.

• 1:59:33Speaker 06

  Me too.

• 1:59:34Patrick Bet-David?

  I would put my money at AOC at those odds.

• 1:59:36Speaker 06

  We've, we've listened to AOC in, in clips, in bits, in 10 second intervals, 30 seconds. You're trying to tell me you're trying to listen to AOC, give an hour and a half speech? My ears are gonna be bleeding, I can't even listen to Kamala for five minutes, and AOC is more shrieking. You're not the audience, you're not the audience. You know who's gonna vote against AOC? Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, they're gonna be like, are you kidding me? This Bronx waitress is gonna be the president. She's taking over, she's taking over. No, it's not happening guys.

• 2:00:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, don't be fooled by the rocks that she's got, you know?

• 2:00:03Speaker 06

  She's still AOC from the block.

• 2:00:05Patrick Bet-David?

  She is, so what I'm telling you is, but anyways, while you're talking about that, whether you're ready or not, folks.

• 2:00:10Speaker 06

  Here she comes.

• 2:00:11Patrick Bet-David?

  The Fugees.

• 2:00:12Speaker 06

  Ready or not.

• 2:00:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Start for the Fugees, right? Rapper, Pras.

• 2:00:18Speaker 06

  Roswell.

• 2:00:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Mickel, sentenced to 14 years in prison over illegal donations to Obama campaign. So a lot of people are asking, does this mean the guy that he gave the money to is also gonna go through it? I mean, what's, is he tied to it? Let me read it to you. Grammy Award winning Pras Grail of the Fugees was sentenced on Thursday to 14 years for a case in which he was convicted of illegally funneling money of millions of dollars and foreign contributions to Obama in 2012 campaign.

• 2:00:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Proswell, 52 years old, declined to address the court before US District Judge Colleen Coller-Cutley sentenced him. In April 2023, a federal jury convinced convicted him of 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as unregistered agent of a foreign government. The trial in DC included testimony from actor Leonardo DiCaprio and Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Justice Department prosecutors said federal sentencing guidelines recommended a life sentence for him, whom they said betrayed his country for money and lied unapologetically and unrelentingly to carrying out his schemes. His sentence should reflect the breadth and

• 2:01:30Patrick Bet-David?

  depth of his crimes, his indifference to the risks to this country, and the magnitude, and the magnitude of, where's the magnitude, yeah. So anyways, this is kind of the situation he's in right now. Tom, your thoughts on this story?

• 2:01:46Speaker 06

  Well, if I've listened to the federal prosecutors, you know, wow, Biden's in trouble. If you think about what, you know, Hunter Biden did, forget about the laptop, just look at the foreign influences, look at the Ukrainian energy company, just look at all things like this. So if this guy does this, he obviously stepped out of line. There's nobody protecting him. So it's like, what line did he step out of? You know what I mean, Pat? It's like, whenever you are, it's like Bernie, Bernie was way out of line in South Carolina, they pulled the rug out from under him, and everything that he stood for, they cut off funding, they did other things, they went after him. For a guy in this position to do what he did,

• 2:02:27Speaker 06

  wow. And they come after him this way? Double wow. This is what, this is what people that were supporting Biden and Obama did on a Monday. And this guy is, you know, finding money, redistributing money, doing things. You're kidding me? And this guy goes to prison? I feel like I'm watching The Big Short. And at the very end of The Big Short, there's this one lonely skinny guy standing in the street. Well, actually, one guy went to jail, this guy. He'll be gone till November, he'll be gone till November. Remember that? But here's my question though, so Tom, is this not? It feels like one guy. First of all, Pat, 14 years? Like, this isn't like some rinky-dink, somebody gave him five grand, Scott, and you became the president. This is collusion. This is a foreign- So Hunter Biden didn't funnel foreign Ukrainian money back 10% to the-

• 2:03:13Speaker 06

  Big guy. Well, my point is, we were dragged. You mentioned Russian collusion earlier. Yes. Russia people still, I know people from California, Scott, they'll still die on that hill. Russia, he was with Russia, Russia collusion. Yeah. How the hell, Scott, is that guy, that, did Obama know? Did Obama know where this money was coming from? My, I've read all the stories on this. Nobody writing this story seems to want to ask the question. Weird. Wait a minute. Millions of dollars went to Obama's campaign. Has someone called Obama and said? No. Any comment here? No. And you're right, we were lectured and have been lectured for years about foreign influence in elections. It turns out, it turns out that it goes back a little farther than 2016.

• 2:03:58Speaker 06

  2012, Obama, by the way, hotly contested election. I worked for Mitt Romney. That millions of dollars, I was in Ohio. I'm just telling you, it came in handy for Obama in Ohio. I was there. Oh, of course. They had the money. Wow, this is such an inconvenient truth. Man. Doesn't it suck? Man, foreign influence. What was he doing exactly? Because you're using these terms, foreign influence and conspiracy. It's illegal for foreign money to be contributed to US federal elections. Is this a fair act? And so, and so you can take money from Americans, that's fine, but foreign nationals cannot contribute. And as I understand it, he was sort of funneling and packaging up and I guess laundering effectively

• 2:04:43Speaker 06

  foreign money into the campaign. Not, and not a little, a lot. Did they say what countries it came from? I think he's from Haiti, but I don't know. No, he's from New York, but he's, his origin, his family's from Haiti.

• 2:04:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Malaysian Sovereign Wealth Fund.

• 2:04:55Speaker 06

  Hmm.

• 2:04:57Patrick Bet-David?

  The government charge that he conspired to use foreign funds were at least partly derived from Malaysia Sovereign Wealth Fund.

• 2:05:04Speaker 06

  Which is pronounced Patras.

• 2:05:06Patrick Bet-David?

  To influence US elections and government policy.

• 2:05:08Speaker 06

  Malaysia?

• 2:05:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Malaysia.

• 2:05:09Speaker 06

  Yeah, like, and what was their goal of getting like Obama, like, that's insane. So what? He tried to operate as like a, like a super PAC or a PAC? And funneling money.

• 2:05:17Patrick Bet-David?

  One report says it was 21.6 million dollars.

• 2:05:20Speaker 06

  That's a lot. Another one says 65 million. That's real.

• 2:05:24Patrick Bet-David?

  That's real money. Yeah.

• 2:05:26Speaker 06

  No wonder why we got Obama. He's gonna be in jail for 14 years. That's a long. You know the song he's gonna be listening to? No woman, no crying. No, he's definitely gonna cry. Well, he's not gonna have no women.

• 2:05:37Patrick Bet-David?

  I thought the Saudis was no woman, no drive. I am so confused.

• 2:05:42Speaker 06

  Well played, sir. Nice, Tom.

• 2:05:43Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, Tom.

• 2:05:44Speaker 06

  He's so quick. Killing me softly, Tom.

• 2:05:47Patrick Bet-David?

  One out of 10. Okay, let's get some dating advice for some people. Let's see what we're gonna do here. So Bill Ackman, billionaire Bill Ackman, Scott, doubles down on his dating advice despite being ruthlessly mocked online. Okay? So, Rob, is this him actually doing the interview? Or is it just a video talking about what?

• 2:06:06Speaker 06

  No, he's on with Maria Bartiroma.

• 2:06:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's hear it. So his advice, Rob, what was the line? May I see you or may I?

• 2:06:13Speaker 06

  Meet you.

• 2:06:13Patrick Bet-David?

  May I? Okay, so I hear from any young man that they find it difficult to meet young women in public setting. In other words, the online culture has destroyed the ability to spontaneously meet strangers. As such, I thought I would share a few words that I used in my youth to meet someone that I found compelling. I would ask, may I meet you?

• 2:06:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Before engaging further in a conversation, I almost never got a no. So then he goes to defend his argument, if any, please.

• 2:06:38Speaker 06

  I'm taking notes, I need to.

• 2:06:38Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, how many DMs you think people sent from the moment he said this? May I meet you? Millions of DMs. Like, stop it. Go ahead, Rob. Press play.

• 2:06:48Speaker 01

  What do you think about this buzz that you get around your dating advice, Phil?

• 2:06:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, look, I'm very happy about it. And I'm happy about it because, you know, we have a generation of people that are, you know, sitting at home on Twitter, or more likely on maybe Instagram or whatever. And, you know, looking at people living sort of fake lives. And the reality is, human interaction is just critically important. You look at things like the population decline that you were experiencing globally.

• 2:07:22Speaker 06

  And I think you can go back to social media being a primary cause. The younger generation, the relationships, they're not having enough sex. They're not getting married, they're not, you know, moving in together. And that's the death knell for the globe. And also just happiness, you know, I feel like one of the most fortunate people in the universe because I met an amazing woman eight years ago and very transformational in my life. And we have Move over, Dr. Phil. Daughter, so which is really amazing thing. This guy is in stunt mode right now. That's not gonna happen online. Okay, it's gonna happen because, and actually you have a lot of people wandering around.

• 2:08:02Patrick Bet-David?

  So, may I meet you, Vinnie?

• 2:08:05Speaker 06

  That, I don't like, that just, it makes me laugh because of all people, I'm happy he's an eight-year relationship and everything, but may I meet you? Tom, let's play that out. We're at a bar. Hi, you two are gonna play it out? Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead, guys. Hey, hey, you wanna drink? You pick each other up.

• 2:08:21Patrick Bet-David?

  You be Gavin.

• 2:08:21Speaker 06

  Okay. Honestly.

• 2:08:23Patrick Bet-David?

  May I meet you?

• 2:08:24Speaker 06

  Which one of you is most likely to pick up the other one?

• 2:08:26Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I have no idea.

• 2:08:28Speaker 06

  Probably Vinnie. Tom got the money, so I'm gonna go up to Tom.

• 2:08:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, probably Vinnie. Is there a foreman involved? But, but, hang on. But, Tom, I'm actually curious. I'll be Kanye. May I beat you? No, no, no, that's Bobby. But, let me, let me go, let me go, let me go to you, Tom. Okay, so Bill Ackman, Tom, believe it or not, had game.

• 2:08:48Speaker 06

  Oh, this guy?

• 2:08:49Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, Tom.

• 2:08:50Speaker 06

  The dance?

• 2:08:50Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, no, guys, no, no, hang on a second, guys. But I'm matching Tom. Can we get a little whopper? Stop, stop, stop, stop. I'm putting Tom with Ackman, they're both business side. So maybe the, the more analytical way of approaching the game and working the numbers. By the way, you pull it up as if you're gonna see a picture of Tom on the stage with a shirt off dancing, you're not gonna find that, Rob.

• 2:09:11Speaker 06

  Look at that stunt.

• 2:09:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, when you were, when you were, when you were in Newport Beach, okay? Hanging out, reading a lot of books, what was your line? My line in Newport Beach? Yes.

• 2:09:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Would you like to go to dinner? Um, but you You have to drive because the keys to my Ferrari either left them on my yacht.

• 2:09:33Patrick Bet-David?

  And I, I, I'm just, I'm just wondering.

• 2:09:37Speaker 06

  Let's go, Tom.

• 2:09:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Actually.

• 2:09:41Speaker 06

  Awesome.

• 2:09:41Patrick Bet-David?

  You have to.

• 2:09:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam.

• 2:09:47Speaker 06

  Adam, what do you think?

• 2:09:48Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think about the, may I meet you? Is this like, is this like something they teach you? I like Tom's thing is, listen, the keys to my Uber over here, if you want to just hop in. So regarding, um, Bill Ackman, uh, everything he says, his entire prescription is right. He's just the wrong messenger. A billionaire asking, may I meet you? Yeah, I'm gonna meet you, buddy. You're a, whatever you want me to do.

• 2:10:10Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:10:11Patrick Bet-David?

  So he's the wrong guy to give the right message. And there's a lot of great that Bill Ackman is doing, so it gives me no pleasure saying that Bill isn't right here. He's absolutely right about the generation of young people sitting at home, especially young boys, sitting isolated. This is sort of the rise of Nick Fuentes, cause he's basically saying, you have no life, you're a loser, you have no money, you can't buy a house, you can't get laid. Listen to me. These broader social trends is basically what's going on.

• 2:10:33Speaker 06

  I think really what he's saying is get out and meet people.

• 2:10:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Exactly. He's absolutely right. But a billionaire saying, may I meet you? Yeah, but he said he used this when he was younger. He's not saying that he used it eight years ago.

• 2:10:45Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:10:45Patrick Bet-David?

  He said when he was younger. Scott, what advice would you give to young men? Cause he, he's, he's gonna tell them, don't buy highs, don't buy a house, don't buy a car, just Uber. Can I just, let me finalize my point? Make your point. He's right. Get out there, talk to girls, get rejected, get rejected a bunch of times.

• 2:10:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Give a line, what's the line?

• 2:11:01Speaker 06

  Line, your pickup line.

• 2:11:02Patrick Bet-David?

  There's no line, that's the whole thing.

• 2:11:04Speaker 06

  You just talk.

• 2:11:04Patrick Bet-David?

  There's no use talk. How you doing? Can I get you this? Definitely don't tell them you have a Ferrari. It's better that when they're leading, the Ferrari pokes up the valet, they throw you the keys, your little wink, you don't say anything. You, you greet them, you give your little, you give your little.

• 2:11:18Speaker 06

  So, so where do you, so where do you live? Is it a pickup line, Rob?

• 2:11:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Where do you live? There's no line. What would you say? You just have swag. And you say hello.

• 2:11:26Speaker 06

  He says he doesn't say anything? You don't say anything? You don't go up to her like, can you break a hundred?

• 2:11:30Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm saying you say something. But you don't, you don't lie.

• 2:11:34Speaker 06

  Can I ask you? Adam is.

• 2:11:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Hey, listen. Let me hear it. Adam is. Meet me at eight o'clock, be ready.

• 2:11:39Speaker 06

  Adam's a good point because you, we all know, like Scott, you don't know, but we know how Adam is. And I agree with Adam in the sense that it's not a line, it's the, it's your, it's your vibe. It's your conversation. It's making them feel comfortable. It's making them laugh. Guys, there's five senses. The one main sense I think is the sense of humor. I can't tell you how many gorgeous girls are out there. I'm talking about tens, a guy, you're like, why the hell? She's like, he makes me laugh. That's it. They love that. So personality, engaging with them, there's no, I mean, that line is actually really, really good.

• 2:12:10Patrick Bet-David?

  The one thing you can't be to a woman, the one thing is boring. You know the song, girls just want to have fun? That's all they want. They want to have a good time, they want to have fun.

• 2:12:18Speaker 06

  Scott. Oh, I think it's very simple for me. I would just say, are you interested in having a revolution of common sense? Nice. Because.

• 2:12:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Shout out to the book.

• 2:12:29Speaker 06

  Because. Maybe. I wrote a book about it. I mean.

• 2:12:33Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm an author.

• 2:12:35Speaker 06

  I've celebrated off, I have many leather bound books. I, I. Anchorman. I think, I think.

• 2:12:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that Black Panther?

• 2:12:42Speaker 06

  I just think it's.

• 2:12:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Sex Panther?

• 2:12:44Speaker 06

  I think it's 50% of the time it works.

• 2:12:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Every time. That's right, Scott Jennings.

• 2:12:48Speaker 06

  I think it's just, you either exude confidence or you don't.

• 2:12:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Correct.

• 2:12:52Speaker 06

  Yes. So when you're a billionaire, it's easy to exude confidence.

• 2:12:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Bingo.

• 2:12:56Speaker 06

  Now, he said it when he was younger, but I just, I think it's more physical. If you exude some amount of confidence in your approach, you can succeed. And I also think that there's little competition because I think most people don't have the confidence to do it.

• 2:13:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Correct.

• 2:13:09Speaker 06

  And so, women aren't being approached and so they're waiting to be.

• 2:13:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Vinnie, what are you doing, buddy?

• 2:13:15Speaker 06

  He said, put out the vibe. I want girls to watch this.

• 2:13:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Put your nipple away, bro.

• 2:13:19Speaker 06

  I was putting out the vibe. Scott was right, girls like the vibe.

• 2:13:22Patrick Bet-David?

  He's absolutely right. Confidence, what it needs to confidence. Vinnie, that's like asking me, asking you, what's the key to sales? The, the initial key to sales is get out there and not make a sale, fall on your face, get hung up on. Then the next time. Knock on doors, knock on doors.

• 2:13:38Speaker 06

  Well, if you're not gonna do it, you might go to jail.

• 2:13:40Patrick Bet-David?

  I saw, I saw a list here that, I don't remember all of it, but it was five things women are attracted to. I think sense of humor was two, hygiene was five. And

• 2:13:55Speaker 06

  Height.

• 2:13:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Sense of humor, hygiene was five, and there was a couple of other things on that list as well. But, uh, uh, look, I mean, the reality of it is, numbers game is numbers game. I love the fact that guys like him and Galloway, what's his name? Scott Galloway.

• 2:14:11Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:14:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Are talking about the challenges young men are facing. And I think we need to talk about this more often. I think this is a good thing that they're talking about it more often because they need direction. There's a lot of guys that are stuck to the screen and that's all they're doing and they're not getting out there doing their part. And so this is good that we're having this conversation. All right, let's do one last story before we wrap up. What story have we not hit that we should hit? Rob, is there one that we haven't hit?

• 2:14:37Speaker 06

  Epstein.

• 2:14:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, okay, let's do Epstein. Let's do Epstein. Pa, pa, pa, pa, pa. Okay, Trump signs bill directing justice, Trump released the Epstein file. We already know that that was on Tuesday. And then a lot of weird stories came out. Bill Gates loved Jeffrey Epstein and only stopped talking to predator because wife Melinda Gates banned him from doing so. That's the Daily Mail story. And then shameless Democrat squirms as she grilled by CNN about texting Jeffrey Epstein during Trump hearing. That was the most uncomfortable one when she came out and gave the argument. Is this the one where she is?

• 2:15:07Speaker 06

  Plaskett.

• 2:15:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, she, she was the one that was wild. We've seen this video in the middle of the hearing. Epstein's texting him and he's saying, hurry up, hurry up, my time's coming up. What's next? And then this was her response.

• 2:15:19Speaker 06

  Stop chewing gum.

• 2:15:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead, Rob.

• 2:15:21Speaker 04

  Believe that Jeffrey Epstein had information and I was going to get information to get it the truth. Having a friendship with him is not something that I would deem to have. And so I'm just looking forward, I'm moving forward. And I think that that's what we as American people should do is move forward.

• 2:15:42Patrick Bet-David?

  And stop asking me.

• 2:15:42Speaker 04

  Individuals are not involved in illegal activity, extending his criminal enterprise or his financial enterprise or all of those things. I think that we need to look at what people are doing moving forward.

• 2:15:57Speaker 01

  Wait, let me just better understand that. What is that point? Because at the time he was a known sex offender and it had been detailed, all the sexual abuse.

• 2:16:02Speaker 04

  There are a lot of people who have done a lot of crimes and as a prosecutor, you get information from people where you can.

• 2:16:09Speaker 06

  Oh, so she had a pedophile informant texting her. So Scott, he wasn't getting information. She, Epstein was texting her what to say. And she was just, he was programming her. This wasn't an information gathering. This was, you say this, and then she says it in the middle of a congressional hearing. My favorite part of this, by the way, is they sent the highest IQ Democrat they could find, Jasmine Crockett, to try to regain the narrative. So they sent her to the House floor to say, well, Republicans took money from Jeffrey Epstein. And she starts reading off the list. And it turns out, it was actually a different Jeffrey Epstein. Doctor Jeffrey Epstein. And then they put Crockett on CNN to try to explain it.

• 2:16:52Patrick Bet-David?

  It was the most embarrassing explanation I've seen in my life.

• 2:16:56Speaker 06

  Crazy, crazy.

• 2:16:59Speaker 01

  I was clear that it was a Jeffrey Epstein. But I never said that it was specifically that Jeffrey Epstein.

• 2:17:04Speaker 06

  Oh my.

• 2:17:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh.

• 2:17:08Speaker 06

  I just said it was a Jeffrey Epstein.

• 2:17:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course. By the way.

• 2:17:11Speaker 06

  Even Caitlin Collins, who's normally something of a wind-up doll. She was even, you see her there like, why, why am I doing this segment? The reason, by the way, Crockett was sent out to do this. By the way, she is the most, she's the smartest person they could find. So they sent her to do this. And the reason is this, because they are desperate to make this a story about Trump and Epstein. And the only thing we found out in the last week is that it's a story about Democrats and Epstein. You got Larry Summers asking for dating advice from Epstein. You got Hakeem Jeffries trying to raise, yes, trying to raise money from Epstein. You got Plaskett being programmed by Epstein. They lost the narrative, so they sent out their smartest person.

• 2:17:54Speaker 06

  Jasmine Crockett, to try to reset the narrative. And it blew up in their face. They may regret, they may regret going down this road.

• 2:18:00Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, does anybody believe?

• 2:18:02Speaker 06

  What's this, Vinnie? This is her, she said stripping a black woman over Epstein texts is outrage. This is her outrage. Like, try to pay attention to this. Go ahead.

• 2:18:11Speaker 01

  I'm sorry, but like, we don't have ethical, like, rules that say that you can't receive text messages, or you can't respond to text messages, especially if somebody has a certain record and you can't do it in committee. We all be sitting on our phones, and, yes, people be texting. I mean, our staff texts us, like, everybody texts us, like, people. I remember when I had the bleach blonde situation, you know who was texting me, my pastor, okay? So, like, let me be clear, there is no ethical violation, and so the idea, or the audacity, to decide that you want to take a black woman of her committee assignment, because she was texting-

• 2:18:49Patrick Bet-David?

  She knows how to look at you in her face, spin, lie, get away with it, and make it seem like nothing happened. She is phenomenal, she's got a career in politics.

• 2:18:58Speaker 06

  She's Texas AOC. She's thinking of running for the senate in Texas. Now, the Democrats have this guy named Talarico, they want to run. I'm telling you right now, she gets in the primary in Texas, she will win. It will not be close. In the senate? Yes. Now, I'm not saying, I'm saying in the primary, yeah, this is the Cornyn seat. But this guy right here, that's who they want. He's slick, by the way. But she is thinking of running. Yep, she's thinking of running.

• 2:19:23Patrick Bet-David?

  He's good, I've seen him debate and talk, he speaks very well.

• 2:19:26Speaker 06

  Yeah, but Crockett has said she may do it, and if she gets in, this guy's dead. You think she'll beat him? Oh, yeah, like a drum.

• 2:19:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Like a drum, wow.

• 2:19:34Speaker 06

  Beat it like a drum? I'm just telling you where the energy, I'm trying to explain to you guys. They don't want that, they want Crockett. Well, I saw the spreadsheet of Texas politics, says it would. I know Tarrant County, and I also know Houston. I've seen it, we dug into it, we did a election night thing here, and I'll tell you, the dynamic of the vote in Texas, if she's up against him, when you look at the way the Dems voted in Houston and Dallas, this guy's done. And I don't even bring up Austin, because she will carry Austin easily, easily. And when you step back, there will be a two-sided barbell. He will get these, and she will get these, and she will-

• 2:20:17Speaker 06

  Have just enough more because that's the demographics and dynamics of Texas politics on the Democrat side. I believe Scott is absolutely correct and the spreadsheet shows it. We can be emotional about it. We could say, oh, no, no, no. But the spreadsheet in Texas and how those groups are going to respond. Real quick, before we go too deep on Texas, we're talking about Epstein here, right? So let's circle back to Epstein. Adam, thank you. Scott, I want to know. So what she said. We talked about it last time I was here. Jeffrey Epstein donated. That's like me saying, hey, guys, breaking news. I beat LeBron James in basketball. Oh, dude, I'm not talking about that LeBron James. It's a different LeBron. Talking about this kid. Why would you think that? Then why would you even bring it up? She knows better. She knows what she's doing. So she knows better.

• 2:21:02Speaker 06

  And he made a good point. But Scott, just really quickly, I know we're about to end, and I definitely want to find out what's actually in the book because I'm going to try to read it even though. I want to find out what's in the Epstein documents, Vinny. So Scott, this Epstein thing to me is is one of the biggest blunders of the Trump administration. Meaning, he's kicking butt on all other aspects, and he didn't run on it. Pat made a great point a long time ago. It wasn't on his campaign promises. Yes, Cash Patel and Dan Bongino, all the podcasts, all that stuff leading up to it. But if you just look, Scott, because I'm telling you right now, as a guy that's seeing everything, I know you are too, it's messing up all the positive that's happening. Because I'm going to go just a really quick, fast timeline, just to see how ridiculous this is. First, the Epstein files were sitting

• 2:21:43Speaker 06

  on Pam Bondi's desk. Then they had that Epstein binder photo op, which was horrible with the influence. They didn't do anything. Then the FBI hid the files. Then Elon comes on and says that Trump's name is on the list. Then they claimed the files didn't exist. Then Bondi got caught on camera saying that there were thousands of videos of Epstein with children. Then they said the files don't exist. Then Trump said that it was a Democratic hoax. Then Cash Patel said that there was nothing else to see and that Epstein trafficked all the girls to himself. Then Trump basically said, you're not MAGA if you keep talking about the files. Then Ghislaine Maxwell has an interview. She's released. She's given a puppy. She's in like, lower detention center. Then Congress says the files do exist. Then Trump says he wants the files released and that they are real. And now that they're saying that it's a threat to national security and they're holding it back. Can't they, can't

• 2:22:28Speaker 06

  they see what they're doing is ruining that movement? Because everybody's saying, you know, Trump ran on just transparency and he wanted to like, no more BS. We're going to hold everybody accountable. And it seems like they dropped the ball pretty damn hard on this. It's been a roller coaster.

• 2:22:43Speaker 04

  They're gonna release something.

• 2:22:45Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:22:45Speaker 04

  There may be competing federal laws about releasing documents with people's names in them that weren't charged with crimes. I don't know how they're gonna synthesize that, because I'm sure there are people's names in here that didn't do anything.

• 2:22:56Speaker 06

  Yep.

• 2:22:57Speaker 04

  Uh, but I think they finally landed in a spot. It'll be okay. Here's what I think Trump got been out of shape about. The word hoax. The hoax was that the Democrats were claiming Trump had something to do with Epstein's wrongdoing. And he did engage in wrongdoing, obviously. But that was the narrative, like, oh, Trump had something to do with it. He had something to do with it. And Trump, I think, was so angry that that was the narrative out there, that he kinda dug in on it. And then he sees Republicans, like, trying to help him. And he's mad about that, too. And so, you know, I think he was and to him, all of that was a distraction from all the other good things that they were doing. So he finally lands on, okay, fine, release it. I guess they're gonna do it within 30 days.

• 2:23:42Speaker 06

  Mm-hmm.

• 2:23:43Speaker 04

  What is gonna come out? I have no idea. I don't know whether it's gonna be one page or a billion. I have no idea what will actually come out. But I know this. Everything that we know in the last two weeks is that Epstein was far more tied in with Democrats. Donald Trump got rid of Epstein. He excommunicated Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. I'm not sure the Democrats ever really got rid of the guy.

• 2:24:03Speaker 06

  What did he say? Is the the dog that won't bark? Was that what? Yeah, well, as soon as he found out Ghislaine Maxwell was, you know, basically poaching girls from Mar-a-Lago, he got them out. But I mean, like, Scott, do you think any, because this is where I'm from, because I've been I've been ride or die with Trump from 16. I was in Los Angeles. I was getting punched in the head because I had a red hat that wasn't even a Make America Great Again hat. I've left. I've lost friends. I've lost family members. When it comes to this, like, we want we want somebody, people like me, and I know there's a lot of us out there, somebody has to go to jail, Scott. Like, because at the end of the day, whoever you work for, MI6, CIA, Mossad, these girls, these victims, and I my heart goes out to them. And one of them was just on Cuomo, and she was like, I can't say because of my family. All she has to do is get protection and come in front

• 2:24:48Speaker 06

  of camera. I'm not suicidal. This is the main person, because who are these main? Bigwigs, there has to be one. Alright, we always hear, allegedly, oh, Bill Clinton. That's the biggest name I keep hearing. Bill Clinton. He, how many times did Mark Middleton sign him on to the White House, Rob? Was it 11 times? Uh, he came with you, with younger girls. Epstein kept bringing these girls. And then Mark Middleton, the guy that basically brought him on to the White House? He mysteriously shot himself in the chest, hanging from a tree, and the shotgun's gone. We need, somebody has to go down. Common suicide. And we always get into this, Scott. Uh, let justice be done, though the heavens fall. If we're built on that type of blackmail, imagine the decisions that were made from our government on outside entities to do foreign, foreign policy,

• 2:25:32Speaker 06

  for Amer- for policies here, all of our money. It's a, it's a dangerous thing, but we want answers. We want one. Give me one. Give me one famous elite that one of the girls could be like, that's the guy. I was 14 and that's him. That's what we want. Yeah, the, the victims have been meeting with members of Congress. They, I think they testified in some committee. And so, my concern has been that we've seen a number of press conferences where things have been discussed, but to your point, no one ever stepped in front of a microphone and said, here are the one to five people that everybody has consistently said was there. Now, I understand why the victims might not be able to do that because they could be open, I guess, to legal act, maybe if they could get sued, it could be bad. Or, or suicide. But, these congressmen who have been told. Yes.

• 2:26:16Speaker 06

  I'm not quite sure why they can't. To be honest, I, I sort of want them to just say, well, look, here's what we've been told. Yep. And if you do it on the House floor, you get a lot of protections. That's what I'm saying. I'm just saying, you could. Can I validate what Vinnie's saying and then tell you where I disagree with you? I'm agreeing with everything on Epstein, accountability, we want it out there. The Democrats clearly were more in bed, wink, wink, with Epstein than Trump ever was whatsoever. The challenge that I'm having with you is you actually think that it's ruining the MAGA movement. It's not. I bet you it is. I bet you it's not. It's not. Because I'm gonna give you numbers and you're gonna give me emotions. Okay, go. Go. Trump's rating amongst, when he got elected, amongst Republicans.

• 2:26:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Was what number amongst Republicans?

• 2:26:59Speaker 06

  Say it one more time?

• 2:27:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump's approval rating amongst Republicans when he got elected?

• 2:27:03Speaker 06

  Fifty?

• 2:27:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Amongst Republicans?

• 2:27:05Speaker 06

  Oh, oh, eighty-two percent.

• 2:27:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Eighty-seven percent.

• 2:27:07Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 2:27:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Eighty-seven percent.

• 2:27:09Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 2:27:09Patrick Bet-David?

  When he got elected.

• 2:27:10Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:27:10Patrick Bet-David?

  You're saying it's splintering, it's fracturing. What is it right now?

• 2:27:14Speaker 06

  Trump's?

• 2:27:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump's.

• 2:27:14Speaker 06

  Approval rating?

• 2:27:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 2:27:15Speaker 06

  Ninety?

• 2:27:16Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it's eighty-two.

• 2:27:17Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 2:27:18Patrick Bet-David?

  So it's gone five points.

• 2:27:20Speaker 06

  This is-

• 2:27:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Lower.

• 2:27:20Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 2:27:21Patrick Bet-David?

  So hear me out. If you want to say the sky is falling, that's not true. If you want to say he's losing some support, I'll give you that. But don't give me this boy who cried wolf, boy who cried Epstein, that he's losing his, his pull and his sway and his bully pulpit of the Republican Party.

• 2:27:35Speaker 06

  Who they, who they-

• 2:27:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump is the Republican standard bearer-

• 2:27:38Speaker 06

  Adam, but I'm telling you right now-

• 2:27:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump is the Republican standard bearer. No matter what Thomas Massey says, Ro Khanna says, Marjorie Taylor Greene, irrelevant. They're all losers compared to Trump.

• 2:27:47Speaker 06

  He's not running in 2028, Adam.

• 2:27:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Sixty percent, fifty percent, forty percent, I'll validate what you're saying.

• 2:27:52Speaker 06

  He's not running.

• 2:27:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Right now.

• 2:27:53Speaker 06

  He's not running.

• 2:27:54Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm saying right now, forget about running. Right now.

• 2:27:56Speaker 06

  Right now, okay.

• 2:27:56Patrick Bet-David?

  You're saying, you're making it seem like his approval rating amongst Republicans is ten, twenty, thirty percent. And we're from eighty-seven to eighty-two. And that's not all because of Epstein. A lot of that has to do with domestic policy, affordability, maybe foreign policy. So stop it with the boy that cried Epstein, that it's ruining Trump's presidency. Trump's the man, that's his president.

• 2:28:14Speaker 06

  I will say this, okay? I think if you live on Twitter, it is. It is on Twitter, okay? Because Twitter is its own community. Like, you know-

• 2:28:24Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't live on Twitter.

• 2:28:25Speaker 06

  But I get it. But you know, when you're, when you're running for office, you know, you're a Democrat, you have to go get who? You get the unions, teachers' unions. Then you go get the- Yeah. Teamsters. And you gotta go talk to Sean O'Brien. And you gotta go to, you know, African-American votes. And then NAACP and all this. Twitter is one of those fifty things you gotta win. And Twitter is growing up, you know? And, and, and, and a part of that for me, where it goes back to Vinny, what you said is, I think because-

• 2:28:53Patrick Bet-David?

  The party have to be also very careful. So you ever seen the movie Mobster? We watch it together, the story of uh uh uh Ben Siegel. Uh maybe we watch it together, the story of all the OGs when the family was built and these both Joes were killed, the leaders. Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Frank Costello, the whole story of all of them, right? The moment a boss is coming to an end. Everybody is fighting to see who's gonna be the new boss. And the model is typically what? You're either closest to him and he gives you the job or you gotta take him out.

• 2:29:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Politics is transactional, it's a very nasty business. When they need your endorsement on Twitter, you're the greatest of all time. When they no longer need you, they gotta kill you. So I think right now Trump for some of these guys, they're having to position themselves ahead of other people because maybe they have their own political aspirations for 2028 because they know he's not running and they're coming in. Look at what Kamala is doing.

• 2:29:59Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:30:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Kamala is throwing who under the bus in her book?

• 2:30:02Speaker 06

  Joe Biden.

• 2:30:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Who else? Newsom, who else?

• 2:30:05Speaker 06

  Everybody.

• 2:30:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Everybody, why? She's not done, she still wants to run in 2028, right?

• 2:30:09Speaker 06

  Yes, yes.

• 2:30:10Patrick Bet-David?

  So to me, a lot of these players today, when you watch them, I you know, I'm I'm no longer in the insurance company, I'm a consultant for them. But I'm also watching how some of them are lobbying, well, you know, Patrick this, well, you know, Patrick that and some know me, Patrick this and Patrick that. So it's and hopefully if you had them good, they have your back, but regardless, you're gonna have some people that the business model is to cut them. I have a guy that no matter every chance he gets to go talk to the company that bought us, it's all negative. But that's that's not a it it Trump said something about seven weeks ago, nine weeks ago, he said, look, no matter what, it's at a point right now that no matter what I do, there's gonna be some people that are gonna forget how much I helped them. That's just part of the job, you gotta accept it.

• 2:30:52Patrick Bet-David?

  I think there are some people that are opportunistic right now and we're gonna know in 2028 why they are going after Trump the way they are right now, but it'll take three years to find out, my opinion. I think in three years you're gonna be like, oh, now I get it. He was running.

• 2:31:08Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:31:09Patrick Bet-David?

  He was doing this. And one of the ways is to distance yourself. So when they come up and then, you know, you may be lobbying for a job, you may be lobbying for a position, you may be lobbying for something like, look at what Lyndon Johnson and John F. Kennedy. What ended up happening? He had to get Lyndon. Why did he get to have to get Lyndon? Cause he had, Lyndon had the Texas boys that John F. Kennedy thought he needed and he wanted to got them. He's like, Lyndon's like, who the f for you? I'm the president. You should be my VP. Lyndon's like, you think you're anything special? You freaking Irish boy, you know, the Catholic, all this stuff. He kind of looked down at them, right? I think there's something going on right now that people are lobbying for politics, for power, for influence. Some of it is temporary.

• 2:31:51Patrick Bet-David?

  But in three years, you're gonna find out who's legit, who's not. The motive, sometimes it takes three, five, 10 years to fully realize. And you gotta be patient. That takes a minute. I'll give you the final thoughts. We'll go to the book and then we'll wrap up.

• 2:32:03Speaker 06

  Well, we'll see what comes out. I mean, I, you know, I think no matter what comes out, there's gonna be a group that won't accept that everything ever came out. I mean, and obviously some people got away with something. I'm with you. If some, if, if, if powerful people got away with things and we can discover that in here, that will be a good outcome. The victims have been treated terribly. It's a political football. I hate that. But I, I will, I just gotta tell you, Democrats didn't care about this for years. They had this on, they ran the Justice Department for four years. But when it became convenient to try to make it about Trump and to try to use it as a weapon against Trump, then it became a big deal for them. That's why Trump was so agitated about this. These Democrats didn't care about this until five minutes ago. And then you have a few Republicans

• 2:32:49Speaker 06

  seemingly joining with them. One of them is Massey, who he hates, by the way. And he sees him on TV with Ro Khanna going after him all this Epstein. You can see how politically agitating this would be to the president. But he signed it. It's gonna come out. We'll see what they give us. But I'm with you. I'd love to hear a name. Give me one. One name. Give me something. Yeah. I'd love to hear one.

• 2:33:09Speaker 00

  I think you're gonna get it.

• 2:33:10Speaker 06

  I do too.

• 2:33:11Speaker 00

  I think you're gonna get it, Vinny. I'm telling you, I think you're gonna get it.

• 2:33:13Speaker 06

  I pray so. And maybe it took too long, but you'll get it. I agree.

• 2:33:17Speaker 00

  I think you're gonna get it. Scott, book, Common Sense. Can you tell us something about it?

• 2:33:21Speaker 06

  A Revolution of Common Sense. I wrote it because Trump, use that phrase in his inaugural address. I thought it was a sort of the perfect way to describe how he has branded his political movement. I met with the president in February. I pitched him on the book. He cooperated. I talked to him. I talked to the cabinet, talked to the White House staff. I picked out the issues from the first hundred days that were the biggest issues at the time and best exemplified his pursuit of more common sense policies in government. And so if you love Trump, you'll like it. And if you know somebody who hates Trump, get it for Christmas, wrap it up, put it under their tree. Either way.

• 2:33:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Scott Jennings trolling people.

• 2:33:57Speaker 06

  Either way.

• 2:33:58Speaker 00

  I love it.

• 2:33:58Speaker 06

  Either way. But it's the first time I've written a book. I'm grateful to the president for co-op.

• 2:34:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Is this your first book?

• 2:34:03Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:34:04Patrick Bet-David?

  And you're saying that you pitched Trump here, wanna write a book? Are you in?

• 2:34:07Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:34:07Patrick Bet-David?

  How was that process? What did you?

• 2:34:09Speaker 06

  You know, truthfully, I didn't know him. I went to the Oval Office in early February and I said, I think a hundred people of the usual suspects are gonna come along and write books crapping on you. But somebody who likes you, appreciates you, and wants to give a fair review of what you're trying to do should get a shot. And he agreed.

• 2:34:27Patrick Bet-David?

  What'd he say?

• 2:34:28Speaker 06

  Well, first of all.

• 2:34:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you do it in his accent too?

• 2:34:30Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 2:34:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Scott Jennings, you're a great guy.

• 2:34:31Speaker 06

  I said, you revolutionized campaigning and now you're gonna revolutionize governing. And I wanna write a book about the first hundred days. This is about 10 days in. He goes, "Well, how do you know it's gonna go well?" And I said, "I think it's gonna go good." And it did go well. This is the most consequential active presidency since FDR.

• 2:34:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 2:34:49Speaker 06

  200 executive orders on day one. The pursuit of the big, beautiful bill, which was his whole domestic policy agenda. The cultural issues, the trans stuff, the DEI stuff, the foreign policy stuff. So he put a lot of balls in the air and a lot of went through the hoop. And I know he's always gonna get crapped on by the usual Washington elites. If, but this is for the half, 60, 70% of the country that wants more common sense.

• 2:35:14Speaker 00

  By the way, that is a very good point.

• 2:35:18Patrick Bet-David?

  You ever seen these, what a weird angle I'm about to take with you guys. It's gonna be very funny. You ever see these prank companies where they send a package, comes to you, the two tickets to the gay cruise you're going to? And friends are like, what the hell is that? Yeah, I've seen this.

• 2:35:35Speaker 06

  Oh, Adam.

• 2:35:36Patrick Bet-David?

  I went on the cruise. Is it a free cruise? No, no, but what up? Let me tell you, for us, for us, we're part of that, you know, meaning like, we like pulling pranks, like, it's a brilliant idea, because it's comical. Friends are like, what are you talking about? Not that there's anything wrong, but there's some people going to cruise and like, Adam, they like it.

• 2:35:54Speaker 06

  Whatever.

• 2:35:54Patrick Bet-David?

  But what I'm saying is, for some of you guys, honestly, I would, I would love to see the story of you ordering this book, just for one person you know that's not a fan, and just send it. Buy one for yourself, buy one for another person, and ship them. Don't even put your name on it for it to come in and say, I did a husband and wife's gonna say, babe, why would you ever order this book? Who sent it to us? You ordered it, but it'd be a good story to tell. And last but not least, before we wrap up, we'll put the link below for this. Guys, we have a big problem of value attainment. Let me tell you what it is. We have 42 job openings right now, and we can't hire them fast enough. We are looking for high-quality people in the company. Rob, if you don't mind playing the clip, we have 42 different jobs.

  I'll show you which ones it is, from engineers to C-suite executive positions, to folks on digital marketing agency, on different kind of things. But here's a clip, go ahead, Rob. Many times when people think about value attainment, all they think about is a podcast, but it's a lot more than that. It's nine companies working together on an 11-acre campus. If I was to give you a virtual tour here, you'll see the HR department hiring, talent acquisition. We have full-stack developers that are working on Manac and Higher Metrics. We have a full-fledged events team that puts together events with thousands of people. We have a merch department, designing the latest product. We just launched the F L B shoes, made in Italy. We have a marketing department. And if you go to the complete opposite side of the building, 50, 60 people making calls, working for Bedivin Consulting, sales, setters.

• 2:37:22Patrick Bet-David?

  And then on the complete opposite side of the campus, there's a full-on production company with editors, shooters, creating content, doing podcasts. Then you can drive down a couple miles and go to our private boardroom, cigar lounge, with members only. Regardless of what it is, working at value attainment.

• 2:37:36Speaker 06

  Every day is a surprise. You could be walking into work and right next to you is a governor, is a billionaire, is an athlete. We are hiring aggressively, but victimism isn't for everybody.

  Take care, everybody. Have a great weekend. God bless. Bye bye, bye bye.

• 2:38:45Speaker 00

  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. Shannon Taylor will fight corruption, cut taxes, and bring down costs. This November, vote for Shannon Taylor. She's for us. Paid for by HMP, the House Majority PAC dot com.
