  All right, so lots going on. Tariff deal with China. Uh, 90 day pause. So is it a tariff deal? Is it not a tariff deal? Did it really happen? Wall Street Journal wrote a very interesting article that I want to read to you. The bottom two paragraphs of the article, how the market reacted and the timing of it before going to the Middle East. For a four day trip or when he's going on his four day trip. While everything is going on, he decides not to stop at one place, which is Israel and not to go visit Netanyahu after what happened with Mike Wallace. There's just a lot of weird things going on right now. We got to talk about. And, uh, so that's that part. Okay. And then while he goes to visit MBS. They, uh, apparently want to give him a gift. This big plane, he says, I don't care if it's a billion dollar plane.

• 2:41Patrick Bet-David?

  If it's a $400 million plane, I'm saving you tax money. If somebody gives it to you as a gift and he tells a story of, um, who was the golfer back in the snee? Sam Snead. Sam Snead told you when somebody gives you the putt, take it. Take it. Don't just take it. You're going to piss off your partner. Take it, right? This ain't a putt though. This is Qatar. Well, we, we're going to talk about that because there's strong opinions there. And then while he shows up, I don't know if you guys saw this folks, Vinnie sent this to us. They, they got him a big, I don't even, what do you call that? An RV of McDonald's? A mobile McDonald's just for him. Just for the president. You got, you know, that's love right there.

• 3:14Tom Ellsworth?

  It looks like the, the, what they bring to like college football games and they put it in the parking lot.

Trump's executive order demands pharma industry price cuts. First white South African arrived in US as Trump claims they face discrimination. Vinnie's got some thoughts. Vinnie's got some thoughts also on Waltz, inside Waltz's ouster. And before Signal Gate talks with Israel angered Trump.

• 6:24Speaker 08

  Oh, not good. And this story didn't even, it was it for like, for two seconds, we kind of talked about it, but it's very interesting.

• 6:30Patrick Bet-David?

  I am so loving the way he's handling this whole situation.

• 6:33Speaker 08

  Gangster.

• 6:34Patrick Bet-David?

  It shows how multifaceted Trump can be. I like it a lot. Photos show Mike Waltz using Signal in Trump's cabinet meeting. Trump says message to the world, he's open for business. That's a Wall Street Journal story. Couple other things that I added that's not in here. One of the stories, and maybe in here, but we just didn't circle it, is Michael Jordan. New broadcast, new NBA broadcast role revealed in career stunner. Michael Jordan's not gonna get feedback about the game. Let me tell you. I can't wait for that to see what that's gonna look like, but I have opinions on that. And then, you know, there's this team that lost this guy named Luca. Because he was eating a little bit too much American food. Apparently they're saying that's why he gained the weight. And he goes to this one team that's ran by this guy that's the most greatest actor in the NBA.

• 7:18Patrick Bet-David?

  He could make it in Hollywood, who always falls. He's famous for falling. He's a stunt man. James, something like that. LeBron? LeBron James, who's always fallen. The fall guy. The fall guy. He goes to that guy and they run, they join that team. And then this team in Dallas is, gets this guy named Anthony Davis. Who was a good player, but he gets injured immediately. And then the NBA's doing this draft pick. And Dallas Mavs have a 1.8% chance of getting the first NBA pick. And they end up getting the number one draft pick. Did you hear about this? No. The NBA got the number one draft pick. Who, what team? Uh, that's going to the Dallas Mavs. It's going to the Mavs. Even though they only had a 1.8% chance of winning it, they got it.

• 7:56Tom Ellsworth?

  It's the fourth highest ever. When they drew the envelope, was it really cold in St. Patrick's Ewing?

• 8:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Ball kept jumping, jumping, jumping, and a magnet.

• 8:05Tom Ellsworth?

  All of a sudden.

• 8:06Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, look, sometimes, when you have certain connections, you can call somebody to call somebody to do something, to do you a favor. Things like this happen in business.

• 8:13Tom Ellsworth?

  Great.

• 8:14Patrick Bet-David?

  It happens in sports as well. You gotta be careful with it sometimes. But then later on, the story comes out, cause there's always somebody that's on the inside. Whistleblower come and say something, and then everyone's like, what happened here? Anyways, alright, so, stories, we're gonna start off with, um, the tariff surfer. Before we go into it, I just wanna tell you a couple of things. We got two things I wanna share with you. Number one, the lemon campaign has become a massive hit. This is a gift that gets sent to people who are maybe going through a challenging season right now. With a lemon hat, with the whole campaign, the thought is about when life gives you lemons. Which a lot of people have had that maybe recently, if you know anybody. It is so amazing because you get to write a message on the inside while you're sending it to someone. And it brightens their day, there's a message I'm giving to the person that's receiving it. I wanna read you a couple of the notes, without the names. But I want you to hear what this is, what this is doing.

• 8:59Patrick Bet-David?

  "I know things have been rough for you, but I hope this gift puts a smile on your face and some encouragement. You are amazingly talented and I know you will make it through. Hang in there. Love, Ma." Uh, "Brother, I know life has been challenging. I wanna say I'm proud of you and keeping everything together." Staying true to yourself, I love you and I know you can shoulder this and will be a better person about it. Uh, you ready for this next one? Uh, this next one's awesome. You are one of the strongest people I know. Your recovery from brain surgery has been difficult, but you're getting stronger every day. Our son watches you during process and sees the warrior his mom is. We love you. Happy Mother's Day. Wow. And happy birthday. Wow. Wow. Geez.

• 9:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Mother's Day and happy birthday. So I'm so in love with this product and what it's doing to families. If you haven't gone yet and uh, send one of these to someone. It's called Zested Forward. We have the link right there on VTmerch.com and on top of that, new merch here. This will fly in no time because we only did limited supply of this. For those of you guys that just want to go to work and wear something to get reaction from others, we have the new limited edition Golf of America hat. It used to be Golf of Mexico, cross stuff. Now it says Golf of America. Okay, uh, we have different versions of it. Another one that says Golf of America, Golf of Mexico. On the, on the side it says Future Looks Right on the back. It says ValueTainment. That's sick, right? And this one is sick. This is my favorite. Oh, I love that one. This is gonna fly off the shelves. Golf of America, ValueTainment, red, white and blue. This is legit. And then we got the shirts

• 10:23Patrick Bet-David?

  to match the hats. So go place an order. Anything above a hundred dollars shipping and handling is free, but anything you place the order, you will get, oh, by the way, this goes with the hat. Check this out. Look at this. Put this with the hat. That is actually pretty sick right there. Okay, that's actually pretty sick right there. Together. Anyways, go to VTmerch.com, place your order. Uh, keychain, zoom in on the keychain so they can see it. A ValueTainment and US keychain will be sent to you right there. Zoom in a little bit on that keychain. There you go. Check that out. It's pretty sick. So go to VTmerch.com, place your order. Let the world know it's officially Golf of America. Okay? And by the way, that's the only golf we're changing them. You're not gonna see us do another one for another golf. That one we're not touching here with the merch. We may do one that says a different thing, but this is Golf America. Go to VTmerch.com, place your order. Okay.

• 11:08Patrick Bet-David?

  So tariffs, okay? I'm in Orlando yesterday and we're at the hotel and uh, you know, all of a sudden, boom, you know, we're getting news, news, news. Here's what's going on. Look at the market. Look at the markets reacting. Market gone up, you know, 1100 points and S and P and all the, Bitcoin crossed 100,000. Oh my God. You know, it's gonna be great. And then, you know, while this was announced that the trade's gonna be made.

• 11:33Patrick Bet-David?

  It says, I retweet, I tweet and I say, I want to know the details because I wonder what this is about. Because on Sunday, we thought it was a trade deal, but it's a pause. So let me read this to you. U.S. and China agree to a 90-day tariff pause. So what does this mean? Okay. On a 90-day trade pause. The U.S. Trade Representative Jamie Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Besen announced the U.S. agreed to drop its tariffs from 145% on Chinese goods by 115% to 30 points, 30%, while China agreed to lower its rate on U.S. goods by the same amount to 10%. With Besen stating, "The census from both delegations

• 12:17Patrick Bet-David?

  this weekend is neither side wants a decoupling, and that high tariffs are the equivalent of an embargo." China's Commerce Ministry said the two sides agreed to cancel 91% in tariffs on each other's goods and suspend another 24% in tariffs for 90 days, bringing the total reduction to 115 percentage points, adding, "The initiative aligns with the expectation of producers and consumers in both countries, and serves the interests of both nations as well as the common interests of the world." Tom, your thoughts on this?

• 12:49Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, first of all, what have I always been saying, Vinnie? No math. Tom, if you said anything with math, I was gonna leave. No, no, no, no. The market goes up and down by sentiment, right? People get a little worried about the future, or they get optimistic about the future. Market goes up and down. That's what's going on. And so the market jumped because it liked the fact that now costs will be not rising because of tariffs. And by the way, remember the Walmart study done by the Wall Street Journal? 10,000 items at Walmart had not gone up in price for the American consumer. So when Rachel Maddow says, "Oh, the tariffs are hurting the American consumer for goods," tell her she's full of crap, just like you say to her when she says anything else. Yes.

• 13:33Tom Ellsworth?

  We go back here to China. This is 90 days. So the US has apparently seen enough or heard enough that they're gonna do it. And this is, they're gonna put this pause in place to put something together. And with Scott Besson, he was saying the consensus from both delegation is neither side, you know, wants long-term trouble. And so that's the right thing to say in front of the microphone. I want to see the terms and conditions. I want to see what happens. But the market sentiment is good. And it also means that Walmart and others that were holding the prices level and not raising them on the consumer, they're now gonna get a little relief on their stock price because their costs

• 14:16Tom Ellsworth?

  won't be going up because they won't pay the tariff that they said they were gonna pocket and just say, "I'll eat it and put it out." So this is good for the market. This was good in the short term, good for the consumer in the short term, and good for companies that were gonna have it. Who caved, Tom? Where is it? I think China caved. I think China caved. Tell me why. I'll tell you why. Because they've been doing little things behind the scenes, such as I brought up the one that I finally found people talking about, the chemical that is in plastic that becomes ethylene, that we talked about. We go ethene, ethene, I think it's called. And it gets

• 15:01Tom Ellsworth?

  processed and it makes ethylene, which leads to polyethylene. And that's plastic. And the Chinese dropped the tariff from like 145 to 0 because they said, "Yeah, we need to make plastic." And they can't get that. Aside from that, Tom, who caved? I think... You think China caved? I think, well, I think China caved, but I'll say, I also think that we had seen the market moving and we saw the sentiment. And I think, I think we were, put a little strategy into this as well, to give everybody a little bit of a break. Okay. Adam, thoughts?

• 15:35Adam Sosnick?

  So who needs who more? China needs the United States or the United States needs China? Well, if you look at it from a business perspective... In essence, who is the client? Who's the customer and who's the buyer and who's the seller?

• 15:47Speaker 08

  We buy the majority of our stuff from them.

• 15:48Adam Sosnick?

  So they're, they need us more than we need them in terms of import exports. Like, we're their number one customer. And they're selling us stuff. America is in a consumption economy. That's why we all, these trade deficits that you hear, we've got a trade deficit with China and with Canada and Mexico is because we're buying a lot of stuff. So China's probably looking at US being like, dude, they're gonna stop buying from us. Didn't they just move their, all their Apple iPhones, just going to India? How bad can this get? I don't know, could it go to Bangladesh? Could it go to Vietnam? I don't know. So on one hand, China has way more control over their people. And as Xi has already warned their people, like brace for impact, it could get bad.

• 16:32Adam Sosnick?

  But at the same time, they don't want to crumble. So they're probably looking at the US, they're saying, they're, they're, they're almost like staring at each other, having a staring contest. And is Trump going to blink? And Trump did not blink. Now, this isn't a resolution. They haven't come to any sort of agreement. It's a pause. You know, we talked about on the live podcast, Trump needs some wins. Trump's had a pretty good week.

• 16:51Speaker 08

  Weekend.

• 16:52Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 16:52Speaker 08

  What do you mean? Four things this weekend.

• 16:54Adam Sosnick?

  All right, Vinny, sorry. It's only been three days. All right, it hasn't even been a week. Excuse me.

• 16:57Speaker 08

  Well, remember when we said, let them cook?

• 16:58Adam Sosnick?

  Let them cook.

• 16:59Speaker 08

  And people were like, no.

• 17:00Adam Sosnick?

  This is happening way sooner than I anticipated. It's not official yet, but signs are moving in the right direction.

• 17:07Speaker 08

  Okay.

• 17:07Adam Sosnick?

  The market likes it a lot.

• 17:09Speaker 08

  I think it was, I think it was them caving. And by the way, he took them, they were in Geneva, Switzerland, chilling, nice, China. I think it was impact because like we've been saying, we're not seeing what China's going through. It's just China's not, what video have you seen of China and the way of life? They are struggling.

• 17:24Adam Sosnick?

  We can't see things from China. They don't let it get out to the public.

• 17:27Speaker 08

  I think, I think they cave. And, and, and mind you, this is all, all China's way.

• 17:32Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know. PBA, I want to know what you think.

• 17:33Patrick Bet-David?

  So let's go to this article here. Okay, Trump's China deal makes sense. How he got here doesn't. Okay, go a little bit lower. And let's go from. Go a few more paragraphs lower. His original reciprocal tariffs announced April 2nd were meant to punish countries in proportion to their trade deficits. Can you zoom in a little bit more? Okay. With the US-China at 34% got one of the highest major economies. Britain got the minimum 10% universal tariff, hitting Britain a stalwart ally with open markets with any tariff would have been unimaginable before this year.

• 18:13Patrick Bet-David?

  And yet it officially bears the same 10% reciprocal tariff as China, though it ran 12 billion deficit with the US last year, while China ran a $295 billion surplus last year. So meaning, we made money off UK, we lost 300. Not lost, they made $300 billion more than we did. With the deal with UK, we made $12 billion more than they did. Okay? So true China's 10% is on top of the 20% put in place a few months earlier, but that 20% is officially tied to China's role in the flow of fentanyl to US Trump's officials say China has shown readiness to act on that problem, yet Canada, Mexico, who have already acted, are being hit with more at 25%. Another inconsistency, Trump promised to ratchet up tariffs further on countries that retaliate.

• 18:55Patrick Bet-David?

  China did, and Trump responded by eventually jacking his reciprocal tariff to 125. Now he slashed it to 10%. That wasn't because of concessions from China, but the morning domestic costs, he backed off his reciprocal tariffs on most countries except China, when the stock and bond market took fright, and now has backed off of most of his tariffs in China amid warning of empty shelves, plunging container traffic and small business failures. There's an irony here. Dependence on China has long been flagged as a potential national security, vulnerability for which tariffs can be justified, but that same dependence is what makes decoupling, no matter how mild, painful.

• 19:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Trump's walk back on tariffs shows there are limits on how much pain Americans are willing to take. Tom, thoughts?

• 19:43Tom Ellsworth?

  So, let's go look at something, what was happening behind the scenes. You asked who K? Do you have that link? Yes, I do. Right there? Let's pop that up. And if you could scroll down just below the picture of the two presidents and get to that paragraph that's just below it. Okay, scroll down, just below it, and we're gonna read this. There it is. Okay. Ray, uh, nope, back up. Okay, here it is. Last week, Chinese officials granted exemptions. This wasn't asking us. It was them talking to their own, uh, companies, apparently. Pharmaceuticals, microtrips, aircraft engines, and we're asking firms to identify critical goods they need levy three, levy free. And scroll up to the top of it, please. And now,

• 20:25Tom Ellsworth?

  I mispronounced it, not ethene, it's ethane. It was US ethane, because there was five of their top, right back there, right back there. Stop, stop. There you go. Five of their top 10 chemical companies says, "We need this frickin' ethane from the US, so we can make plastic and stuff." And so, China, behind the scenes, I didn't think they caved, but they sure were putting a lot of exemptions out before it even happened. But I still don't trust them as far as I can throw them.

• 20:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, look, I'm, I'm going back again, and I'm reading, what's the, the book by Robert Hiltz, uh, what's his, what's the book's name, Brandon? Lighthizer. Lighthizer. And this book is purely on trades. I think everybody needs to read it. He was the one that was doing the trade deal on the first term with Trump. No trade is free. Changing course, taking on China, and helping America's workers, okay? And going back and forth on how the trade deal took place with them. What did we want from this trade deal? Like, if you think about, what is our concern with China? We wanted the world's dependency now to be on China, okay? So move it out from them to different places. We wanted them to not agree on certain things when it's coming down to intellectual

• 21:36Patrick Bet-David?

  properties that they're stealing, and not agreeing to the terms, contracts. We wanted few other things with them in regards to the tariffs, where, you know, you're acting like, you know, that $300 billion, you know, what do you call it? The trade deficit that we have, how much of it was made up? I don't know if any of it's gonna be made up. That 297 deficit's gonna be still a $297 billion deficit. So what are we doing that they're buying from us as well in return? And what level of commitment was made there? I don't know. Again, this is why I said, I want to know the terms. Because it's very easy sometimes to celebrate and, and see that you are so easily excited just because the market goes back up and your 401k went from 220 to 278 and you're comfortable now.

• 22:21Patrick Bet-David?

  You're not worried. Or your account went from 10 million to 11.6 million and you're comfortable. You're not worried. No, I'm still concerned with the relationship with China. A guy like me, I'm still concerned. I still don't trust these guys. And I understand that they want to be respectful while they're negotiating and all this other stuff. I just hope this 90 day, what happened to Iran back in the days when under Trump, it was so close and Iran fallen and there being a revolution because of the sanctions. So close of something taking place. He lose, Trump's out, Biden comes in, Iran's a free for all again, back to the same exact situation. It was this close. I think the pain was very close to even a bigger deal getting done.

• 23:06Patrick Bet-David?

  But because of optics, we agreed to this. And I think in the next 90 days, the pain is going to go back to them being able to tolerate another 90 days or 180 days come 90 days from now. So what's 90 days from now? Go to June, July, August, August 8th, August 10th, let's just say, whatever 11th to August 11th. Now we start negotiating hard again. They can go four more months, September, October, November, December. All right, now it's 2026. Now everyone's campaigning for midterms. You lost leverage. Yep. That's my opinion, Tom. My opinion is the fact that the pain that you had to be able to make a bigger ask because of pure optics. Hey, we need to show the market doing well. You know, today's what 930, 944, how's the market doing right now, Tom?

• 23:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Should be, should be flat or down. Down 154. Yeah, but it's profit taking on the pop yesterday. Sure, totally get it. So down 154. And yeah, this number right here, top 10 countries with the biggest trade surplus. Look at that. It's not even close. China, 600 billion. Okay, so you're looking at, and then go to India, look where India's at. Where's India? It's not even on the list. No, that's Ireland, looks like India, but it's Ireland. So, look at India. It's not even, Australia's ahead of India. So what does that mean? Probably better terms when you negotiate with India. And they have a bigger control manufacturing around the world, China. They have a better, you know, structure, better, better system to be able to, you know, handle more business, but my biggest concern was the pain of negotiation is officially

• 24:36Patrick Bet-David?

  gone, and you're not gonna have it come January 1st. You're not. There's a story in here that we did in circle to talk about, and it says the fact that Trump's already eyeing midterms. And none of you guys marked that you guys wanted to talk about, that's right, I don't blame you, it's not like it's a big story. But he's already eyeing midterms. Why is he eyeing midterms? Okay, if you looked at the tax deal that I was reading the entire tax at the time, I don't know if you went through it or not. It's very interesting, some of the things that they did here, but anyways, to just close this and go to the next story, Adam, you look like you wanted to say something about this.

• 25:06Adam Sosnick?

  I just wanna say one thing. You know, Trump is cleaning up past presidents' mess. You know, who created this mess we have in China? I could argue that it's a lot of US presidents, whether it was starting with Nixon, opening up relationships with China, I believe in late 60s, early 70s. And then I think Jimmy Carter in the, in the 70s officially recognized the CCP. Bill Clinton, I think, was the person that at least started them getting into the WTO, the World Trade Organization, I think then it happened under George W. Bush. And then you had Barack Obama that didn't confront China at all, it would seem. So Trump is coming in and basically saying, "We're gonna clean this mess up real quick." So, the good, the bad, the ugly, I think we're about to find out.

• 25:47Adam Sosnick?

  But if you look at small businesses, here's this article from Wall Street Journal, how tariffs are crushing small businesses. They're basically saying that the Chamber of Commerce has requested tariff exemptions for small businesses. Small businesses are apparently closing or expect to shut down from a lack of support. But if you look on Main Street, Brandon, if you pull up the fear greed index that I text you.

• 26:11Patrick Bet-David?

  A little better, 66, 64.

• 26:14Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, so this is the first time I texted you, Brandon.

• 26:17Speaker 08

  Yep, I got it.

• 26:17Adam Sosnick?

  This is the first time that I've seen the fear greed index indicate a little bit more greed. A month ago, it was fear was the resounding narrative in the markets right now. This is the first time I'm seeing greed, 69. If you scroll down, Elon Musk will like that number. If you scroll down, you could see that, I think it was the lowest I'd almost ever seen on the fear. It was almost a two, you know, two, you know, one to 50 is on the fear side. And then 51 to 100 is on the greed side. So Americans are basically saying, you know what? I'm not as scared as I was a month ago.

• 26:54Speaker 08

  But, but for what it's all worth, and I understand, and Pat, my, my, my thing is with China, just with anything, something I feel personally, something has, something's going to be happening here because these guys are not going to go quiet. And like what, what is going to be their next thing? If anybody, it doesn't just have to be China, something, they need to do something to try to cripple us. Because just this weekend, I mean, how much winning did we do this weekend? In 48 hours, he got the, the hostage, you know, pharma, this deal, 90 day pause. I mean, how much, how much more stuff can he do to make himself look good? Now he's off in the Middle East.

• 27:28Adam Sosnick?

  You're gonna win so much, Vinnie.

• 27:30Speaker 08

  No, he's kicking out, no.

• 27:30Adam Sosnick?

  You're gonna be begging to lose.

• 27:31Speaker 08

  But, but hold on, remember a week ago, everybody was losing their minds. Oh my God, what is he doing tariffs? Now everybody in CNN and everybody in mainstream media is changing their tune because now they have to give him credit. So we'll see.

• 27:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, look.

• 27:43Speaker 08

  I'm with you though, I don't trust China. Do you try, do you think China is capable of doing something insane?

• 27:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Now they won't, now they won't. Now they won't because of what happened. But, but, but that doesn't mean we got what we wanted. Because now you gave them a lifeline. That's the only thing, remember, it goes back to that arcade game. You go, eh, finish line, boom, you got 45 more seconds to race, eh, finish, you got 40 more. We just gave them an additional seven months that they can tolerate pain. They don't care about their people like America does.

• 28:14Speaker 08

  Yep.

• 28:15Patrick Bet-David?

  So to them, that's, that's my only, again.

• 28:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Not in the inside, I don't know what's going on, I don't know what terms are being negotiated. If I have to bank on anybody negotiating on our behalf, it's Trump and his people. I'm very confident with what they're capable of doing. All I'm saying is, I don't know if this 90-day was, um, is gonna get us back to some of the stuff that Nixon, Clinton, some of these other guys did in the past. I don't, I don't know if that's gonna happen. You can't let just the market going up fool you that the right things were, were done. And I'm a guy that is supportive of who this guy is. I just fully know, you're 47-years-old, you're 45-years-old, okay? Tom, you're 59-years-old, I'm 46-years-old.

• 28:55Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm getting younger.

• 28:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, you know what we got? We got a lot of living to do. And guess what's gonna happen next 30-years? China ain't going away.

• 29:02Tom Ellsworth?

  Nope.

• 29:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I do not want them to get any stronger than they are right now. I don't, I don't trust their, um, you know, they say you wanna test a man's character, give him what?

• 29:14Tom Ellsworth?

  Money.

• 29:14Patrick Bet-David?

  No, power.

• 29:15Tom Ellsworth?

  Power, oh, okay, my bad.

• 29:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Guess what we learned during Covid with them? They had power. What did they do? We learned about them. You still wanna trust their character? I don't trust their character.

• 29:23Speaker 09

  Me neither.

• 29:24Patrick Bet-David?

  So to me, the, the kicking the can because you just want a good midterms or you want good news going into Saudi? Who gives a shit what the market's gonna be saying and what the media's gonna be saying? Anyways, I, I know you guys would have never thought I was gonna say something like this, but, uh...

• 29:39Tom Ellsworth?

  No, you're right, there's two measurements, right? There needs to be less reliance on China and jobs in America. That was the stated goal. You listen to the White House, we want, we need jobs in America, American-made products and American-made suppliers, and we need less reliance. Well, we got there a little bit with India, which has been a long time coming. Like, Apple's been moving toward India for a while. We got some of that, China's not happy about that. Now we gotta get to suppliers in America, jobs in America, and less reliance on China, which means a weaker China. We gotta get there, we need all of them, it's not just the market.

• 30:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I hope you're right. I'm just staying a little bit paranoid because they destroyed the world for a year and a half.

• 30:20Patrick Bet-David?

  They destroyed memories. I will never freak. Listen, you know how I feel about business owners? To me, I have a very special place in my heart for business owners because I know how hard it is. Yesterday for me was an 18 hour day and I loved it. Guy asked me a question, what are you doing here at 12:30? We, we had a private jet that we're trying to get on a flight to come back from Orlando and the, uh, what do you call it? The weather hits and we cancel. We rent a used Dodge Ram and a, whatever the other Kia was, we get on the car, three hours, we drive here, we go to a place called Firehouse, we buy Subway. Three hours on the car, we're just on the phone talking to a bunch of different people and then we get back here, we'll do a podcast with George Janko, we go for two hours, and then boom, I'm on the phone back.

• 30:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Small business owners sacrificed time away, their 401ks, their savings, their mortgage, the money that they have in a property. China destroyed tens of thousands of restaurants in America, hundreds of thousands of businesses in America and around the world. People who couldn't see their kids, people couldn't see their grandkids. Your grandmother's about to die in a hospital, you can't go see them because of COVID. These policies in America done by guys like Fauci and others, and then what those guys did from China to, to disrupt the entire world? And, and you want me to be able to? Now I'm gonna hold you accountable to it.

• 31:40Patrick Bet-David?

  And, and all I'm gonna say is, I just wanna make sure in the future, you never do anything like that again. There's gotta be a level of accountability. Can't have you have too much power.

• 31:49Patrick Bet-David?

  I can't. We can't have you have too much power.

• 31:51Speaker 08

  You know powerful they are? They're still not accountable and everybody knows it came from there. Zero accountability.

• 31:57Patrick Bet-David?

  So I'm not, I'm not.

• 31:57Speaker 08

  China flu, ladies and gentlemen.

• 31:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, whatever, bro. I'm not okay with that. But anyways, we'll see. I'll stay skeptical. I'm very, I'm hoping I'm wrong. I'm hoping I'm wrong and I'm hoping all the, the trade deals and everything's being done is done perfectly. Well, it's gonna be great. I just hope I'm wrong. So, next one here. Trump says something very funny. This is a video you were talking about and I accidentally saw it yesterday. The, the, what do you call it? Friend got a fat shot. Cheaper overseas and drug executives cope to overchange, overcharging. You guys, when you watch this video, Brandon, if you wanna pull it up, it's, it's, it's full on comedy. This doesn't make any sense. Pause it, whatever you're doing, put your coffee down because you're gonna spill it on yourself. I'm gonna, I'm gonna save you from it. Just listen to this if you haven't seen it. Go ahead. Adam, stop.

• 32:41Speaker 10

  I mean, I'll tell you a story. A friend of mine who's a- A businessman, very, very, very top guy. Most of you would have heard of him. A highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight. And he takes the fat, the fat shot drug. And he called me up and he said, President. He calls me, he used to call me Donald, now he calls me President. So that's nice respect. But he's a rough guy, smart guy. Very successful, very rich. I wouldn't even know how we would know this, but, because he's got comments. President, could I ask you a question? What? I'm in London and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take. I said, it's not working.

• 33:24Speaker 10

  Get a refund, fatty. I just paid eighty-eight dollars and in New York I paid thirteen-hundred dollars. What the hell is going on?

• 34:21Patrick Bet-David?

  So, check this out. Let me read this to you. President Trump shared a neurotic and very, very, very top guy businessman friend prescribed to highly neurotic businessman, very seriously overweight, eighty-eight dollars and it's thirteen-hundred dollars. Trump signed an executive order. If you want to pull up the tweet when he writes this, friend, I don't know if you have it or not. If you have it, just pull it up. Sign an executive order to lower US drug prices, requiring federal programs like Medicare and Medicaid to pay rates matching others, other developed countries claiming our country has the highest uh, uh, drug prices anywhere in the world by sometimes a factor of five, six, seven, and even eight times.

• 35:04Patrick Bet-David?

  And that pharmaceutical companies make more than two thirds of their profits in America, despite US having only four percent of the world population. Adam, thoughts?

• 35:16Adam Sosnick?

  Well, listen, Trump is, uh, the Don Rickles of presidents. His, his ability to make, uh, abject, sort of high level, um, abstract ideas relatable is second to none. So in comedy, Vinnie, you would know this. The term he's using is called personification. Um, when you personify something, or some concept, or some person, it boosts people's imagination, and it simplifies complex ideas, and it, um, enhances the emotional impact. So rather than talking about drug prices, he's like, let me tell you about my fat, amazing, brilliant, sloppy, smart, gross, amazing, gross friend. Incredibly wealthy.

• 35:58Adam Sosnick?

  What a guy, what a loser, what a guy, the biggest loser. You know who did this better than anybody was Dave Chappelle. Do you remember on the Dave Chappelle, Chappelle Show, he would, uh, he would personify and humanize drugs and STDs. He's like, hey, what's going on? Uh, syphilis, man, I'm just out here burning people up. So, hey, what's up herpes? Hey, I'm hanging out. So you turn these people into characters. Trump made drug prices funny and relatable. Remember the skit when, uh, Dave Chappelle talked about his white friend? He's like, yeah, you gotta watch out for these white guys hanging out with all these black gangs. You never know what those black, those white guys did to earn these people's respect.

• 36:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, what do you think about the story?

• 36:36Adam Sosnick?

  Here's the point.

• 36:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell me the history of comedians and what they said.

• 36:39Adam Sosnick?

  No, no, no, no, Pat.

• 36:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me get to my point, please do.

• 36:42Adam Sosnick?

  The point is, we would not be talking about this.

• 36:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 36:45Adam Sosnick?

  If he didn't use personification about his fat friend.

• 36:49Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't think so?

• 36:50Adam Sosnick?

  We would not be talking, it would not be a main story. We would maybe glance over it a little bit.

• 36:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 36:55Adam Sosnick?

  The fact that he talked about his fat friend and personified this, and he let me tell you my fat sloppy friend.

• 37:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Actual story, the fact that the drug is 88 dollars.

• 37:03Adam Sosnick?

  Jesus, Pat, can I, I'm trying to get there.

• 37:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Minutes, you're telling us how much comedy you watch.

• 37:08Adam Sosnick?

  It's been 20 seconds.

• 37:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell us about the story.

• 37:11Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 37:11Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think about the actual story? Go back to the tweet, let me read this while you're giving a historian for us of comedy. So Donald Trump, here we go. For many years, the world has wondered why prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals in the US were so much higher in price than they were in other nations, sometimes being five to 10 times more expensive than the same drug manufactured in the exact same laboratory or planned by the same company. It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The pharmaceutical drug companies would say for years that it was research and development costs and that all of these costs were and would be for no reason whatsoever born by the suckers of America alone. Campaign contributions can do wonders, but not with me and not with the Republican Party.

• 37:56Patrick Bet-David?

  We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. By the way, this is

• 38:01Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 38:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Something that Bernie Sanders would always talk about, but this guy's getting done. Tom, your thoughts on this story?

• 38:07Adam Sosnick?

  Can I finish my point?

• 38:08Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm gonna come back to you, Tom, your thoughts on this story?

• 38:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, I've never had syphilis, but I enjoy comedy. But now I will quickly get to the drug prices. Now, here's what's going on.

• 38:19Patrick Bet-David?

  That's bad comedy right there.

• 38:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Watch this, watch this.

• 38:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I didn't even get it.

• 38:22Tom Ellsworth?

  Vinnie, Vinnie, what, watch this. Nothing with numbers, Tom. Nothing, no, these drug prices are just like student loans. Why do, why do universities keep raising up tuition? Cause someone else is paying for it. Of course. The student loan pays for it because they get the student loan, student loan pays high-priced tuition, and then they're stuck with the price. Guess what? The reason drug companies were able to do this in America is because most people had health insurance through their employer. A lot of people did, and that

• 38:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Is a hidden cost nobody ever sees.

• 38:49Tom Ellsworth?

  Is a hidden cost nobody ever So you could raise up the prices and then how do the consumers see it? They don't blame the drug companies. They say, Vinny, did you see we have to pay another 15% for our our share of the health insurance? I can't believe that. It's a hidden tax on the back.

• 39:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Hidden tax. That's exactly the way to put it.

• 39:06Tom Ellsworth?

  And so what he's doing.

• 39:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Thank you for making us smarter, Tom. Thank you, Tom. But can you tell us three examples of comedy and on how to like spin it and bring it back? Because I need a little bit more history, Tom.

• 39:16Tom Ellsworth?

  I I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna stand up, but I'm gonna say this. Hey, wait, wait, wait. I'm gonna take you really, really, really quick here. And there's also a thing in contract law called most favored nation. Meaning if all of us had agreements to, you know, um, work as union workers and our contract said we have a most favored nation. So if Vinny gets a raise to $16 an hour from 15 and we all have the same number of years of experience as Vinny, we get $16 an hour. That's called most favored nations. What Trump is saying is drug companies are selling things all over the world. I want most favored nation for the US. So if you're selling it lower in Germany, that's the price I want the US consumer to get. And that's the executive order he signed.

• 40:01Tom Ellsworth?

  He's not trying to arbitrarily drop the prices and do wage and price controls. He's saying to them, Vinny, if you're selling aspirin for $2 in Germany, you gotta sell it for $2 here. He's not selling them what price to sell it at. He's saying, you apparently think it's perfectly fine.

• 40:16Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what the problem is, though? The problem is the patent laws that we have in the big pharma industry. It's ridiculous and what the lawyers do with it, Rob. Uh, Brandon, can you go to the clip that you have with the RFK?

• 40:26Speaker 08

  But but this was a short one. No, this was a short, the longer one. It was such an amazing freaking speech he gave in there and then he gives him credit here and it was fantastic.

• 40:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Is it the credit or is it given because I've seen the credit part?

• 40:38Speaker 08

  No, no, I think this is talking about, uh, Elizabeth Warren and all them.

• 40:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Saying anything about the actual?

• 40:43Speaker 08

  He's saying he's calling out Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

• 40:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead and play the clip.

• 40:48Speaker 09

  But he can't be bought unlike most of the politicians in this country. And he is standing here for the American people. I don't know what, you know, there's, there's writers like Elizabeth Warren or Robert Reich, who are saying that President Trump is on the side of the oligarchs. There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump. And I'm very, very proud of you, Mr. President, for your courage, for, I'll say, because I don't want to be crude, your intestinal fortitude, your stiff spine, and your willingness to stand up for the American people.

• 41:32Speaker 09

  We have 4.2% of the world's population. We, our country represents 75% of the revenues for pharmaceutical companies. Seventy-five. We spend in our country 11. That's insane.

• 41:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, so Adam, I'm gonna come back to you.

• 41:50Speaker 09

  Sure.

• 41:50Adam Sosnick?

  So where I was going with the whole personification thing is this is what makes Trump unique. Is Trump the first president to bring up how big of a mess our drug system is, or our healthcare, or sick care, kicks, sick care system is, is he?

• 42:03Speaker 09

  No.

• 42:04Adam Sosnick?

  No, Bernie's been talking about it, Elizabeth Warren's been talking about it, Obama's been talking about it, Obamacare, drug prices, Biden talked about it. But the point is, Trump is able to tell stories that you're able to gravitate towards and understand, my stupid, fat, beautiful friend, that's memorable. And he's able to move the needle because he's such a brilliant marketer.

• 42:26Patrick Bet-David?

  We fully got that point.

• 42:26Adam Sosnick?

  So what's the point is that he's doing things that other people have talked about, but he's doing them. So we talk about free markets in the United States.

• 42:34Patrick Bet-David?

  I just came back before you say the same thing.

• 42:36Adam Sosnick?

  And the drug care situation in the United States. We don't have free markets in the drug situation and in the healthcare. We pride ourselves on free markets, but we don't have, we don't have them within our system. There's a lack of competition. You talked about the patent system. I remember when you were talking with Vivek onstage about, because he, wasn't he a biotech guy? Didn't he have a medical company? That he understood this concept, Pat, Vivek?

• 43:04Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 43:04Adam Sosnick?

  Did he not? So, he talked about the exclusivity and what companies were able to do and like how you're not allowed to introduce generic alternatives into the marketplace. So, there's a lot of mess that's been going on that they've been trying to fix forever. But because of Trump's ability to move the needle, they're able to do that.

• 43:22Speaker 08

  But, but, but Adam, you mentioned Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, all these people. All of these guys are bought and paid for by pharma. Trump doesn't need any of them. He's not bought by any of them. So, they all talk the talk. This is walking the walk. This is actually doing it and putting his money where his mouth is. And this is a great freaking-

• 43:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Can I tell you something again? For me, this is great.

• 43:43Speaker 08

  That's amazing.

• 43:43Patrick Bet-David?

  But it's another quick fix. What we need to do is change the patent laws of Big Pharma.

• 43:48Speaker 08

  Can he do that?

• 43:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes, of course. Because the same way they extended it by lobbyists, you can shorten it. All they need to do is shorten the lifespan of you should have a patent. You should have a run rate. You should have some years where you have ahead of everything else. Pharmaceutical patents granted 20 years from the filing date, providing exclusive rights to manufacture, use and sell a drug for that period. This exclusivity incentivizes innovation, but can also lead to higher drug prices. Beyond the 20-year patent, regulatory exclusive like orphan drug exclusive can further extend market protection. So, so not only do they do a 20-year, and then there is now a way to extend it for another 18 years, another 20 years. So then guess what? They can sell a drug that costs them $2 or 45 cents or $3 or a buck 20. They can sell it for $800.

• 44:34Patrick Bet-David?

  They can sell it for $190. They can do that. And in the moment the patent expires, have you seen what happens to the prices when the patent expires?

• 44:41Speaker 08

  It drops all the way down to cents.

• 44:41Patrick Bet-David?

  It drops in ways that nobody even can understand. So, for me, it would be great for Bobby to work closely with the president to get working on the patent laws that Big Pharma has. If you reduce it to 10 years, to 8 years, to 7 years, you know what that'll do? It'll dramatically drop the prices of health insurance. So, what are we paying right now for health insurance? Tom, if we, if we reduce, let's just kind of spitball here. What happens if we reduce? Patent law from what it is 20 years to seven years? How much you think it'll reduce costs? Brandon, Tom, what do you think?

• 45:24Tom Ellsworth?

  I think it would immediately reduce monthly health insurance premiums for Americans by like 15% and over time, probably a third. And I say that because you know what the drugs do. And I've gone through things with my daughters who needed particular drugs when they were very, very, very young because of some anomalies and thank God they're both really helpful. But also here's something else that happens. If you every 10 years expire the patent, what happens is I gotta run faster cadence. So maybe that's more medical research and more projects, more projects running faster. That helps good drugs get invented that help a lot of other things, number one.

• 46:07Tom Ellsworth?

  And also, it's not just that the price will go down for the average consumer on their health insurance. It will also go down for the federal government on Medicare. Because what is Medicare Part D? It's a special insurance you get. D stands for drugs. It's for if you're, if you have a condition, you have a thyroid condition or something, you have to take a special medication that's more expensive, it's not covered under, fully under Medicare. And they even lobby to make it so that they can't prescribe you the generics. So they're in, they're in the knickers of Medicare like that. And so now you would also make it so that maybe elderly people on Medicare, the US tax dollars would go farther so they could get the thyroid drugs and things that they need. And they wouldn't be taking, reaching into their pocket for Medicare Part D.

• 46:50Patrick Bet-David?

  I love that, Tom. What a great breakdown. Thank you for doing that. Brandon, what would you add to that?

• 46:54Speaker 11

  Yeah, so you know, one of the most unfortunate things about this is that incentivizes bad behavior. So I worked at a big pharma company. I did global security there for a couple of years. And like, you know what their, like, most resources went into lobbying DC and trying to extend their patent. So they had this one drug that made them a multi-billion dollar company. And like, every last bit of effort and energy went towards just tweaking that drug a little bit so they could extend the patent. And like, everybody was freaked out. That was their number one concern is extending the patent so that they couldn't change their $100,000 drug per treatment to like...

• 47:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Per treatment?

• 47:25Speaker 11

  Yeah. So this is a rare disease drug that was $100,000 per treatment, would have been, you know, pennies in the dollar if it lost the patent. But they, you know, so they're, they're not putting their energy towards the right things.

• 47:35Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, you know who knows this? You know who knows this issue?

• 47:38Speaker 08

  Bobby Kennedy?

• 47:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Bobby Kennedy knows it.

• 47:39Speaker 08

  Well, that's what I was gonna ask you. Do you think he's, okay, and I get the quick fix. Do you think he's actually thinking this big?

• 47:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Bobby?

• 47:47Speaker 08

  Bobby?

• 47:48Patrick Bet-David?

  For sure, he knows.

• 47:48Speaker 08

  Okay, and how long with something like that? If he starts right now?

• 47:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, bro, well, let me tell you.

• 47:53Speaker 08

  With the resistance of freaking Big Pharma?

• 47:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you what that's like. You ready? What happened the more, the more the trade talks got tougher and tougher and tougher for China? You all of a sudden saw what happened with Pakistan, you know, India with tensions and all this. And all of a sudden, people are worried, what are they capable of doing, right? Okay. If in America, you attack one industry, whether you prevent them from advertising on TV, or you prevent them from having a 20-year monopoly with these patent laws, you're gonna see gangsters in ways you've never seen before.

• 48:30Speaker 08

  I agree.

• 48:31Patrick Bet-David?

  And that's the Big Pharma gangsters.

• 48:32Speaker 08

  That's them.

• 48:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Those guys are not the types of gangsters you think and you see in movies. You know, the, the, the, name the biggest gangsters. The Al Capones have nothing on Big Pharma's gangsters. Nothing. They have nothing on their lobbyists. Nothing. The access to power that they have to be able to destroy your life is unbelievable. So, but to me, I think if you truly care about the future of America and taxes and all this other stuff, go address the real issue. Do you know how big of an industry cancer is every year? 200 billion. Who makes that 200 billion? What happens if you cure cancer? And you come up with something? That 200 billion is gone. There's a lot of, what happens if you eliminate war? What happens to those industries?

• 49:15Speaker 08

  All the bombs, all the missiles.

• 49:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Hundreds of billions of dollars is gone. So, to me, fix the patent in every possible way. Things will be positively impacted. I'm moving on to the next story. I'm moving on to the next story. All right. So, James Carville, Democratic representative, call out Ilhan Omar.

• 49:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Says party needs to praise greatness of US. What does that mean? What does that mean that we need to praise US? Uh, Brandon, do you have the clip on that? Yes, I do. If you can play that clip, uh, go for it. Here's Carver.

• 49:44Speaker 12

  Why don't you just get out the Democratic Party? Honestly, start your own.

• 49:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Who's he talking about?

• 49:49Speaker 12

  All right, let's do the simple math. Probably sixty-nine percent, I don't know, we called Jim Garcia, Jeff Garrett. Roughly sixty-nine percent of people are gonna vote in November, maybe more. Let's do seventy for just round math. Are gonna be white. Of that forty-eight percent, maybe a little more are gonna be male. So that's roughly, let's just call it thirty-three and a third percent of the entire election. Well, let's just run against them because that's so goddamn smart. All right? So now we're gonna have a campaign by the progressive left against white men

• 50:24Speaker 12

  who vote about a third of everybody that votes in an election. Why don't you, lady, start your own party? And then when it's over, if you want to caucus with the Democrats, fine, we agree with a lot of things that you do, but we don't believe we ought to be running against white men. In fact, we don't think we ought to be running against any gender, any ethnic group, any race, any religion, or anything else. Goddamn, these people are just helpless. They cannot be helped. There's nothing you can do to help them. They don't want to be helped. And if they had any guts to start their own goddamn political party, then get out of ours.

• 51:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so that's that. By the way, pause it and go back to what Jasmine, Jasmine Crockett said. Did she say to who said it that we need a something, something white man? Is that who said it? Jasmine Crockett. Do you have that one, Brandon? Okay, watch this here, folks.

• 51:14Speaker 13

  Fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost so far. And I think that that's a natural fear because we just want to win. So there's a lot of people that are like, you know what? Like, let's go find the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I'm just saying.

• 51:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Those are the callers that we're hearing. We're hearing people.

• 51:39Speaker 13

  No, for real!

• 51:40Patrick Bet-David?

  A white man's gotta do it.

• 51:41Speaker 13

  No, no, no, no, for real! And, and to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate. I had a donor. On the phones with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. So I can tell, and I can tell you it's not a black person nor woman, okay? So like it is, they have, quote unquote, they have chosen, and when I say they-

• 52:03Speaker 08

  Keep putting her in front of the camera, please.

• 52:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Two things, Carville, your thoughts on that, Tom, and then we'll go to Crockett, go ahead.

• 52:09Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay, here's what I think is happening. Trust them when they say, because trust that they're telling the truth. James Carville is saying, "We need to praise the greatness of USA even though the core globalist socialist liberal democrats do not believe that." But he is telling them, "We have to do this if we want to win." Then, listen to her, the core of the party, they have selected, remember Pat's comments about arranged marriage? Listen between the lines, she's admitting it, right there. They have selected, they have selected, there's this one white boy that they're all getting behind. I think it's JB Pritzker, because Gavin Newsom is gonna be just nuked on California, left, right, and center, by his own competitors in the party.

• 52:54Tom Ellsworth?

  You can't even run your own state, don't tell me what's going on, can you hear JB saying that? Yep, can you hear Shapiro saying that? So guess what, he's gonna be battered and bruised, he's not the guy. I don't think Shapiro's the guy because there's something below the surface there is why Shapiro didn't get chosen. We know about something. Yeah, we all know about that, there's something going on there. So, guess what? I think it's JB Pritzker. He's got the money, he can self-do it, he's, he's, he's got the unions, he's from the Midwest, there's a lot of things going on. I think that's what she's talking about. But, this is not truth. They are running to a fake center. They are faking it to the center. You know the old thing from Clinton, it says, "You gotta govern from the center." No, these people are trying to run from the center, and then they're gonna govern from the left,

• 53:37Tom Ellsworth?

  from the left socialists, and they're gonna go after all this stuff. And, they're telling Ilhan Omar, "Hey, calm down, step back, sit down, get out of sight." Why are they saying this? Because they're trying to run from the center, but America, it is a fake center. These are the same globalists, the same socialists that are there, and what you're seeing right now is a few of them, and by the way, you know who else is real smart about this? Van Jones. You know who else is real smart about this? Bill Maher. And now, listen to those voices. Stack them all side by side by side and tell me what you think you're hearing. And they want Bernie, Bernie and the freaks to go over and just hang loose, stay in the closet. And then you, not that closet.

• 54:21Tom Ellsworth?

  You go stay in the other room. But when the party starts, we're going to be governing from the left and we're going to destroy everything they believe in. But we got to run to the right and stop right there in the center. When I say run to the right of where we are, stop in the center, but it's a fake center.

• 54:39Speaker 08

  But, and Tom, you notice how she said, well, I mean, James Carver, just sitting there, just old and wack. And it's like, that's the problem with the Democratic Party. That's who they have speaking for them.

• 54:48Tom Ellsworth?

  But beyond all of his bluster, he gave numbers that he's right about.

• 54:51Speaker 08

  Yeah, no, he's right about the numbers. But then when you go to her, she's talking about women and not, and not women. Look at the women that they're putting up. Hillary Clinton, who's a freaking crim, let's not even get into her. Kamala Harris, zero message, zero policy, has no idea what the hell she's doing. And then you have Jasmine Crockett, the most hood rat, ratchet ass. Like, like that's going to work? Like, they didn't learn that that shit doesn't work. All right, Tom, and you're talking about faking it. At the end of the day, from the JB Pritzkers, yes, he has the money and yes, he's doing that dog whistle to call for people to get in the streets and basically riot and cause this disruption. At the end of the day, guys, no matter who comes in, and I want nobody to be fooled, for the Democratic Party, every single thing that Trump is doing, they're going to reverse.

• 55:35Speaker 08

  That needs to be every talking point of every debate is, are you going to open up the border? Is that what you, because that's, that's the main thing to me, is that's what they're going to do. They're going to open the border, they're going to reverse every trade deal, they're going to dismantle everything. And that's why we cannot let them win.

• 55:51Tom Ellsworth?

  And just then, why are they doing it?

• 55:53Speaker 08

  Why?

• 55:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Trump's approval rating, heading up to the right. As soon as the sentiment of the market changes, and the market's had everything, we got all those things that China already talked about.

• 56:01Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 56:02Tom Ellsworth?

  But you see what's happening?

• 56:03Speaker 08

  It's going up.

• 56:03Tom Ellsworth?

  Soon as things move a little bit, his approval rating moves a lot a bit.

• 56:08Speaker 08

  Yes.

• 56:08Tom Ellsworth?

  And this freaks them out. And so they're like, guess what? This is what we have to do. This is what we're fighting. This is just this morning.

• 56:15Patrick Bet-David?

  So he just pulled up something. Brandon, can you go back to what you just pulled up? Vegas odds for 2028. Who's at the top? Newsom?

• 56:21Speaker 11

  Yes, it was, it was, um, where is it? So I saw Newsom at number one, surprisingly. AOC number two, and Pete Buttigieg three.

• 56:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow. So, so type in more markets to see if any other names comes below it. Josh Shapiro is for human a little bit. Look at Stephen A. Smith.

• 56:38Speaker 11

  Yeah, he jumped up.

• 56:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Stephen A. seven. Kamala is below Stephen A. Smith now. That is embarrassing. Gretchen Whitmer, Wes Moore, Andy Beschar, JB Pritzker, Tim Walz, Mark Cuban, Michelle Obama, Cory Booker, I think.

• 56:53Tom Ellsworth?

  Can I ask you one question?

• 56:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 56:55Tom Ellsworth?

  You're a student and a teacher of sales, public speaking, and a lot of things. We have courses that we sell where you're teaching the world this. Put those people, this is just the perceptions in the voting right now.

• 57:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 57:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Put JB Pritzker and the top eight of those people on stage, and what do you think happens?

• 57:12Patrick Bet-David?

  I think he does well. I think he does well.

• 57:14Tom Ellsworth?

  I do too. And I think a bunch of these disappear. I think Gretchen Whitmer disappears. I think, um.

• 57:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't even know why Kamala's on that list.

• 57:22Tom Ellsworth?

  I think, I think Mayor Pete disappears. Kamala isn't even going to be on the stage. They're not going to let it happen.

• 57:28Patrick Bet-David?

  You think AOC will be on the stage?

• 57:30Tom Ellsworth?

  I think, well, I think AOC, if AOC is on the stage, if she's being allowed to be on the stage, if she's non-volatile enough to be a VP candidate.

• 57:39Patrick Bet-David?

  If she's not volatile enough to be a VP candidate?

• 57:42Tom Ellsworth?

  If she's non-volatile enough, like if she gets up on stage and says whack, then I think what will happen is they'll pull her back. But I think she's maturing. I think she's maturing as a politician. I don't agree with her points, but I think she's maturing. I think she's moderating a little bit. I think she's being coached. But I, I think she's formidable, and I think she would be there merely to raise her profile to the voter, knowing that, look, she's only going to go three rounds in this thing, and then these other people are gonna.

• 58:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, thoughts?

• 58:12Adam Sosnick?

  So, it's so obvious to me that the Democratic Party as an establishment is moving on from straight white men. We don't need you, we don't want you, we ain't here for you anymore. Is there any more clear of an example of James Carville fighting with one of the new faces of the progressive left Ilhan Omar, who's loudly and proudly saying out loud in America that white men are the problem.

• 58:39Speaker 08

  Threat, extremist.

• 58:40Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, so you know, it's so amazing to me that in America, Ilhan Omar can online and in real life criticize the President of the United States. But in Somalia, where she's from, if she said little Bo peep about whoever the leader of the piracy of Somalia is these days, she'd be goners. So she's out there singing about abortion and women's rights. They don't do that in Somalia, no. So it's don't act what, don't do it as I, don't do as I say, I do as I do. She hasn't lived this type of life, but she's using it to indoctrinate her people. You know what they call the city that she runs in Minneapolis? Little Mogadishu, just like in Miami, we have Little Havana

• 59:24Adam Sosnick?

  or Little Chinatown in San Francisco, Little Mogadishu. And watch out for what's going on there. Now, Pat, you said, one of your words that you were talking about for this year was signal versus noise. In my opinion, this is just a whole bunch of noise. Cause these women, these loud yappy women in the Democratic Party and also in the Republican Party, have what I would call no power. So AOC probably has the most power. She's a representative, let's set her aside. Ilhan Omar, she's just a loud woman. Jasmine Crockett, a loud ghetto woman. Rashida Tlaib, a loud terrorist woman. So they don't have power.

• 1:00:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Terrorist woman?

• 1:00:05Adam Sosnick?

  She's a Palestinian Hamas supporter, straight up. They're not pro-America. Like, how many times do we need to see them encourage people to basically burn down the flags? By the way, in terms of hierarchical order, by the way, I could say the same thing for Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert. How about I just make a lot of noise? But at least you know they love America. So, you know, in a hierarchy of who has the most power, it goes representative. Mayor, Senator, Governor, President of the United States, in no particular order other than that.

• 1:00:40Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know if I put any mayor, it's mayor of a big city, I would say.

• 1:00:43Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, but the point is, a mayor of a big city has more.

• 1:00:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, New York, Chicago, LA.

• 1:00:49Adam Sosnick?

  Than any of these loud, yappy women, with the exception of maybe AOC.

• 1:00:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's David Hogg on Bill Maher, go ahead.

• 1:00:55Speaker 14

  Right now, what I think happened last election is younger men, they would rather vote for somebody who feels, who, even if they don't completely agree with, they don't feel judged by, than somebody who they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because they're going to be judged, or ostracized, or excommunicated. And what's interesting about this moment is it feels like the two parties in some senses have flipped, where, you know, Republicans used to be the judgmental assholes, in many ways. And since, many Democrats, despite us, I would say for most of us, coming from the right place of wanting to do the right thing, we've created a culture where we say, well, if you say the wrong thing, you're excommunicated. And that's just not how human beings work. Nobody's perfect, but ultimately, what we have to do here, is figure out how to bring people back in and work towards the bigger goal of advancing

• 1:01:39Speaker 14

  the future of this country and helping, young people especially, get by, so that they're able to focus on their lives and, you know, getting with a young woman, or something like that, instead of how are they going to pay their rent, for example? Or how are they working their two jobs? Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is, how to get laid and how to go and have fun.

• 1:01:57Speaker 03

  David Hogg, for questions, ladies and gentlemen.

• 1:02:03Adam Sosnick?

  Not the Democratic Party, buddy. So, by the way, fully agree with the guy, makes a lot of sense, you know, he's, you know where he's from, by the way. He's from fifteen minutes away in Parkland. So, he was, I think, recently voted in as co-chair of the DNC.

• 1:02:19Speaker 08

  Vice.

• 1:02:19Adam Sosnick?

  Vice, but now, he's speaking what I would call common sense, and I literally think he's trying to be removed right now.

• 1:02:26Speaker 08

  They're trying to remove him.

• 1:02:27Adam Sosnick?

  They're trying to, who, they/them are trying to remove them?

• 1:02:29Speaker 08

  They/them.

• 1:02:30Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly. So when you think of cancel culture and you think of identity politics, he basically just called out the party, that is, that is essentially the reason that the party is losing, and they canceled him! Is that an actual true story?

• 1:02:45Speaker 08

  On Monday, the credentials committee of the DNC voted 13 to to avoid the election results of February in which Hogg and Pennsylvania State Rep Malcolm Kenyatta D were elected to serve as co vice chair of the DNC according to New York Times. The vote comes as Hogg is reportedly planning to spend up to $20 million to fund primary campaigns against incumbent Democrats. They're gonna eat their own, bro. This party is so freaking lost. And David, bro, David Hogg, I mean, who, where'd he come from? Who, like?

• 1:03:13Adam Sosnick?

  What do you mean, where'd he come from?

• 1:03:14Speaker 08

  No, I mean, like, he hasn't had no political background. He was just, he was at the Parkland shooting, he was a survivor, God bless him.

• 1:03:19Adam Sosnick?

  But then he went to Harvard, I think he became president.

• 1:03:20Speaker 08

  Yeah, he went to Harvard, and he's one of the guys that wants to take everybody's guns away from him. You should Google the amount of crazies, no, no, Adam, it's a fact. The amount of stuff that he said about us and having guns and stuff, he ain't the truth, and they're gonna, he has no chance with that.

• 1:03:32Adam Sosnick?

  I'm just gonna put myself in his shoes for a second, just for a second. If I saw, you know, a couple dozen of my classmates die in front of me, I'd probably have some strong feelings about guns.

• 1:03:43Speaker 08

  Yeah, and take them away from everybody?

• 1:03:44Adam Sosnick?

  That's not what I'm saying.

• 1:03:45Speaker 08

  No, that's his attitude, and I don't like that.

• 1:03:47Adam Sosnick?

  I'd like to see some quotes from him. I'm assuming he has a pretty strong position on it, because his roommate in class and his classmates got killed. So that would probably wake you up just a little bit. Now, I'm not advocating for taking away all guns, I'm not even sure if that's his position. But I understand why he would feel that way, do you not?

• 1:04:06Speaker 08

  No, I understand, but what qualifications does that have to do to run a party? Run a whole Democratic national?

• 1:04:13Adam Sosnick?

  You talked about his thoughts on 2A. Don't you think if you have a couple dozen of your friends die that might, in front of you, might sway your opinion just a little?

• 1:04:23Speaker 08

  That's fine with the swing, but the second, for you to say, we don't need, Americans don't need any guns, let's just take all the guns, I have a problem with it.

• 1:04:30Adam Sosnick?

  Show me that.

• 1:04:31Tom Ellsworth?

  Look, we've seen this movie before, separate what you guys are talking about. It's called The Tea Party. It's called The Tea Party. The Tea Party said, we're gonna primary some of the guys in our own party, in the Republican Party, because we're upset with you, and we do agree with you on this and this and this, and The Tea Party was born. What he just said, you could just change that and take that back 20 years, and...

• 1:04:55Tom Ellsworth?

  Put another face on it, and that's what the Tea Party sounded like. This is not what we want. This is not the party we envisioned. This is not what we're doing, and we're gonna primary him. And guess what? The Tea Party people got ostracized on the outside, too. Well, now the Dems are saying, hang on, we can't have this guy taking money and primarying some of our favorite players. No, that's not the way you do it, and that's what's happening here.

• 1:05:16Adam Sosnick?

  Well, Tom, very good point. The only sort of counterbalance I would say to that, the Tea Party had conviction. I think they came to power over the national debt and our budgets and our deficits.

• 1:05:27Tom Ellsworth?

  I completely agree with the principles of it, but I'm saying it's the same, same situation where people upsetting the establishment got, you're out of here.

• 1:05:37Adam Sosnick?

  The difference is this, is that what does the Democratic Party stand for at this point? I used to vote Democrat. I look at them, I'm like, what are you doing for someone like me? A normal, straight, white guy. Like, they're kicking people like us out of the party. And we're looking at the party now being like, what are the, who are these people? The Tea Party at least had conviction. They wanted fiscal conservatism. Tell me what the Democratic Party, especially the progressive left, stand for at this point.

• 1:06:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I agree with that 100%.

• 1:06:04Adam Sosnick?

  Just basically TDS and hating on Trump.

• 1:06:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, Adam, he once tweeted- If you say you're gonna, if you say you're gonna primary the establishment, this is what happens.

• 1:06:11Speaker 08

  Adam, David Hogg once tweeted, "You have no right to a gun. You are not a militia. You have no right to a gun as an American."

• 1:06:19Adam Sosnick?

  When did he tweet that?

• 1:06:20Speaker 08

  I don't, it's out there. He could Google it. It's out there. I'm not lying to you. It's ChatGPT found it, too.

• 1:06:26Speaker 08

  He has no, Adam, they're gonna eat him alive. He has no chance. Sorry. He's gone. The story just came out today about him.

• 1:06:31Adam Sosnick?

  PBD, do you have any strong feelings on David Hogg and what we're going on, what's going on here with this guy?

• 1:06:35Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I'm just watching these guys try to find each other, trying to find out what they're gonna be doing. And they're contradicting each other, they're going into different factions, and they're creating, they are so lost right now. It's not even funny. For me, it was easy. The best thing you said is, what do you stand for? Tell me what you stand for. Not what you're against, but what do you stand for? I don't even know what they stand for. I've asked the question so many times. What is it you stand for? We've always been the less judgmental party. Now we're the more judgmental party? That was actually very good analysis on what he, how he broke it down. Because, you know, Republicans were Christians that were judgmental. You can't do this, you can't do that. So now it's like the other way around, walking on eggshells with the Democratic Party. Yeah. I get it. Okay, next one here.

• 1:07:20Patrick Bet-David?

  So a story goes out about Emmanuel Macron hiding a cocaine pouch in viral video. French media calls claims absurd conspiracy. This is Times of India explaining this. Now, this pouch on a train to Ukraine sparked social media of cocaine use fueled by Russian foreign minister spokesperson Maria Zakharova, who suggested on Telegram that Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer had used cocaine and failed to remove the paraphernalia before journalists arrived. Zakharova also claimed Ukrainian President Zelensky an unstable cocaine addict. Claiming, is this, this is a real story of Times of India.

• 1:08:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Claiming a Western diplomat said drug use amongst European leaders was normal. The leaders were traveling from Poland to Kiev for high-level meetings. French media outlet Liberation dismissed the claims as absurd conspiracy, stating that the mystery's bags of white powder is actually a handkerchief rolled into a ball that was placed on the table before Keir Starmer arrived and the cameras entered the booth. The object near Merz called a cocaine spoon online was likely a stirrer or a toothpick, which the German Chancellor is said to have been fiddling with. Okay, so now let's watch the video, Rob, Brandon, and let's see what we see. Go ahead, Brandon.

  It's a long walk, pal. We're back in Poland.

• 1:09:46Speaker 04

  It threw my bar stool, man.

• 1:09:52Patrick Bet-David?

  So look, that's the bag, right next to the, uh... A cup of water. It could be tissue. Okay, zoom in a little bit, Brandon. Can you? I don't think I can. Yeah, you can. Watch what happens. Right now... Whoa, hey!

• 1:10:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Awful concern about that, too. And then look how he switches it, like a perfect running back. Look at this, from one hand to the other, boom.

• 1:10:14Speaker 08

  And it's going in the bag.

• 1:10:15Tom Ellsworth?

  And going into the pocket of the sweater. Boy, there's high-level meetings and there's getting high-level meetings.

• 1:10:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you go to the... Do you have the picture of the other one as well, Brandon, or no?

• 1:10:24Speaker 08

  The montage?

• 1:10:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Not the montage, but...

• 1:10:27Speaker 08

  I said, Brandon, I slacked, uh, I slacked, uh, Rob, um, a couple of things of what it might be.

• 1:10:33Patrick Bet-David?

  There's another clip showing... There's another clip showing what that thing could have been. Okay, Tom, for you, you're pretty... That's funny. That's a spoof right there. Tom, your thoughts on this? You're reasonable. What do you think this was?

• 1:10:47Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, I look at it, and, um, I think where there's smoke, there's fire. Uh, and you can read quite a bit about, um, Zelensky and a lot of tabloids and a lot of people talking about that, apparently... So they say, um, he uses coke and really enjoys it. So...

• 1:11:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Was Zelensky at this meeting?

• 1:11:07Tom Ellsworth?

  They're going to Ukraine to meet him. And where are they in this meeting? On the train. They're on this train, traveling. And also, you know, these are a bunch of baby boomers that are now leading countries. And I'd just like to point out that the baby boomers partied. And so you hear a lot about this in both... And I'll tell ya. And so I have a hard time...

• 1:11:29Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the one.

• 1:11:29Tom Ellsworth?

  The speed...

• 1:11:31Patrick Bet-David?

  What is that?

• 1:11:32Speaker 08

  Those are little Tootskey spoons, Pat.

• 1:11:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, wow.

• 1:11:35Speaker 08

  And mind you, there's no lime in his drink. What are you stirring? It's a cup of water. There's no stirring, okay? And you guys have to get to like, guys, you have to listen from people that have done cocaine and know the mannerisms of cocaine.

• 1:11:46Patrick Bet-David?

  So, go ahead, Vinnie.

• 1:11:47Speaker 08

  Thank you, Adam. Hey, Mr. Miami, I'm pretty sure you know this. I've done it at your house. Listen, um, I'm joking. I'm messing up. It's not like he stopped and did a quick freeze here. He's just coming in there. Yeah.

• 1:11:59Patrick Bet-David?

  So, is that what they're saying that this is what they snored?

• 1:12:01Speaker 08

  Well, they're saying, I mean, Pat, if you guys think about it, the mannerism of doing it, of doing that type of stuff. That's a coax, man. It's a little shrivel. Yeah. And then, Brandon, I sent you stuff. I sent you a clip, and you said this about Zelensky. There's rumors, everybody's saying that Zelensky is on blow. I sent you the, uh, uh, uh... Yes. Keep going. Keep going. Look at these mannerisms right here. This one? Just, yeah, don't even, I won't even need the volume. For anybody out there in the audience that's ever partied, what kind of, look at this guy.

• 1:12:30Speaker 08

  Yeah, fix that little Tootskey, the little Tootskey there? That's what, that, that mannerism. And then, Brandon, I sent you a photo of him. Is that what you call it, a Tootskey? It's a Tootskey. We do a little bump. And then, go to his pants backwards. This guy is a mess. This guy is a mess. I just sent you another photo of Zelensky doing, uh, where was it? Keep going, Brandon. Uh, so, so, so, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Right there. This is his meeting. His pants are on backwards. You know who does that? People that are doing cocaine.

• 1:12:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Zoom in.

• 1:12:55Speaker 08

  That's his pants are backwards, Pat. Nah, he was listening to Criss Cross.

• 1:12:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Back gullet.

• 1:12:59Speaker 08

  No, that was this, that's, his pants are backwards. Just because you do drugs, doesn't make you like...

• 1:13:05Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you put it on backwards?

• 1:13:06Speaker 08

  Because when you're on cocaine, you're just like, you're geeking out.

• 1:13:10Patrick Bet-David?

  No, Vinnie, stop it. Maybe that's like the style of like some kind of a new Balenciaga pants backwards.

• 1:13:15Speaker 08

  No, but, and here's my thing, that, that attitude of get rid of it, and that's, rather, that straw is for, like, we, we have club soda, that's for lines and stuff when they stab the fruit. There was no fruit. It's water. If I had to get... So, what do you think it was, Vinnie? I think they were partying, which is, boy, you're on a train ride. Good for them! They gotta talk about politics and Russia and shit. Let them, let them party to long train ride. Going to meet, uh... Cocaine cowboy now.

• 1:13:42Adam Sosnick?

  Cocaine cowboy.

• 1:13:43Speaker 08

  My thing is this though, since any just in, in, in general, just on a broader uh, uh, scope. I think all the leaders every year not only need to take a drug test. Number one, number two, especially with a Joe Biden situation. A live streamed cognitive test from a, a non-biased civilian doctor and we all get to watch it live. Uh, anybody in Congress, anybody in government.

• 1:14:05Patrick Bet-David?

  You think it was, you think it was drugs?

• 1:14:07Tom Ellsworth?

  I, I think it was drugs because if you look at the way they're moving their hands. Why did he so quickly grab the tissue, then switch hands with the tissue? And then put the tissue in a pocket.

• 1:14:16Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think?

• 1:14:17Tom Ellsworth?

  It's like, he looked pretty concerned about a wadded up tissue.

• 1:14:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Brandon.

• 1:14:21Speaker 11

  Yeah, no, I think so. Just his body language. He seems like he really wanted to hide it.

• 1:14:24Patrick Bet-David?

  What about you? What do you think?

• 1:14:26Adam Sosnick?

  Oh God, here we go. So if Hunter Biden and Zelensky were at this meeting, I'd be, oh, they're definitely doing propane. No doubt. But you're telling me that these three old white dudes on a train are trying to party.

• 1:14:39Speaker 08

  What?

• 1:14:40Adam Sosnick?

  On the way to Zelensky, can I talk? You, you're in your Tootskey thing. Very weird.

• 1:14:44Speaker 08

  It's a little.

• 1:14:45Adam Sosnick?

  You've had a lot of experience.

• 1:14:46Speaker 08

  You've never done drugs, Adam.

• 1:14:47Tom Ellsworth?

  Come on, Adam, Adam, wait, wait, wait, wait, Adam. I want to ask you a question. No, no, no, I'm not shutting up. I'm asking you a question in support of your point.

• 1:14:54Adam Sosnick?

  Finish my point.

• 1:14:54Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm trying to help you make a point.

• 1:14:56Adam Sosnick?

  I don't need your help, guy.

• 1:14:57Tom Ellsworth?

  You, you.

• 1:14:58Adam Sosnick?

  I think I need your help when it comes to partying? No.

• 1:15:01Tom Ellsworth?

  You need more help than you realize, my little cherub.

• 1:15:05Adam Sosnick?

  Go ahead, help me out, Tom. Party animal.

• 1:15:07Tom Ellsworth?

  What, what in the villages and other retirement communities in Florida?

• 1:15:12Adam Sosnick?

  That's where you're going with this?

• 1:15:13Tom Ellsworth?

  What, what, what is like the number one health problem?

• 1:15:17Adam Sosnick?

  STDs.

• 1:15:17Tom Ellsworth?

  STDs? Yes.

• 1:15:18Adam Sosnick?

  They're partying.

• 1:15:20Tom Ellsworth?

  So guess what? They're retired. This is their younger brothers and sisters in their sixties. They grew up at a time of partying and they're still partying because now they're enabled by power and money that's all around them.

• 1:15:32Adam Sosnick?

  Tom, thank you for your help.

• 1:15:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Why is it so surprising?

• 1:15:35Adam Sosnick?

  Thank you for your retirement health.

• 1:15:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Drug dealers.

• 1:15:37Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:15:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Retirement home.

• 1:15:38Adam Sosnick?

  That's exactly.

• 1:15:39Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm questioning it.

• 1:15:40Speaker 08

  You don't think Macron and Brigitte are doing bots once in a while?

• 1:15:43Adam Sosnick?

  The thing.

• 1:15:44Speaker 08

  Come on.

• 1:15:44Adam Sosnick?

  Maybe, maybe give you an AARP discount. As, as much as I hang out in Miami, and this isn't my thing, your Tootskey thing, I've never even heard of before. Tom is doing drugs in retirement communities. I'll tell you a funny story that a guy told me in Miami.

• 1:15:57Tom Ellsworth?

  He goes, hey, do you like to party? Keep it straight, Adam. Get your point.

• 1:16:02Adam Sosnick?

  Your retirement community is calling. You gotta get home soon. Listen to me. There's a guy go, hey, do you, uh, do you, uh, do you like the party? Do you like the party? I go, no, that's not my thing. He goes, Tom, shut it. He goes, hey, do you like the party? And I go, no, that's not my thing. He goes, no, no, me either, bro. I don't do cocaine. I just like to, eh, smell keys in bathroom stalls. What? So I don't think these guys are doing cocaine. That's not their thing. Come on. If, if Hunter Biden was there. I thought a key was hung out with Hunter Biden. If Hunter Biden was there and Zelensky was there, I would, I would have other things. I don't think that's what they're doing. PBD, what do you think's going on here? You think they're actually just blowing lines? There's more likely to blow each other. They didn't know the camera crew was gonna come in there. They were kinda like, hey.

• 1:16:47Adam Sosnick?

  It might have just been tissue.

• 1:16:48Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, you know, we are talking about Macron, so that last point maybe.

• 1:16:51Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know. Listen, here's all I'll tell you. I even, I even posted about this and I said, you know, I'm sure that's just creatine or collagen or something like that. I don't think there's anything in there.

• 1:17:00Adam Sosnick?

  It's my anti-aging coffee supplement.

• 1:17:02Patrick Bet-David?

  But the way he reacted, and by the way, isn't there, is the video of Macron dancing, is that real? Or is that somebody else's? That video is funny as hell, right? It's just kinda dumb, like, you know, he's doing what he's doing.

• 1:17:13Adam Sosnick?

  And his hairstyle's different.

• 1:17:15Patrick Bet-David?

  It's so great watching that video.

• 1:17:16Adam Sosnick?

  I had to defend you, uh, recently.

• 1:17:19Patrick Bet-David?

  You had to what?

• 1:17:19Adam Sosnick?

  I had to defend you. They go, I've noticed that when PBD talks, some guy said to me, he goes, he's always like touching his nose. Is he doing drugs? I go, if there's anything PBD is not doing, it's drinking, drugs, smoking, maybe a cigar. Have you noticed that sometimes you'll touch your nose when you speak?

• 1:17:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:35Adam Sosnick?

  Have you noticed this?

• 1:17:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:36Adam Sosnick?

  So, so guy's like, yeah, I think PBD's doing drugs. I go, listen, if he wanted to do drugs with his nose, he could probably take down a whole situation.

• 1:17:43Patrick Bet-David?

  I could hide a lot.

• 1:17:44Adam Sosnick?

  You could hide a lot. Keep that guy away from my cocaine team.

• 1:17:46Patrick Bet-David?

  I can have storage for backup.

• 1:17:48Adam Sosnick?

  That is what PBD is not doing. He ain't smelling keys in bathroom stalls.

• 1:17:51Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't want me doing anything with that.

• 1:17:53Adam Sosnick?

  No drugs, no coffee.

• 1:17:54Patrick Bet-David?

  You do not want me doing Red Bull, coffee, anything like that. No.

• 1:17:58Adam Sosnick?

  If you smoke a joint, maybe we could film that.

• 1:18:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Ooh, that would be good. If I did, that podcast would be so legit. And you know, we would shoot one and never go live with it.

• 1:18:10Speaker 08

  Like instead of your vitamins, Jen or somebody.

• 1:18:12Patrick Bet-David?

  But you have to make sure the guys in the back where the camera guys, you have to trust them because they're gonna be like recording to save it forever. They're gonna be like, I have the clip. Twenty-two years from now, look for a million dollars.

• 1:18:22Tom Ellsworth?

  The highlight, number one.

• 1:18:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Okay. All right. So let's continue. By the way, for some of you guys, you know, live in California, we always like to bring good news to you guys. It's like one of the things we're fully committed to, our friends there. Eight-dollar gas. New study reveals it may come to blue state next year, triggering bipartisan concern. But when you're that loyal to the state of California.

• 1:18:43Speaker 08

  You gotta stay for it.

• 1:18:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you kidding? Like you want to be the first to hit the eight-dollar gas and brag about it and tweet about it?

• 1:18:48Speaker 08

  Competition.

• 1:18:49Patrick Bet-David?

  So University of Southern California Professor Michael Michie. Study predicted California gas could hit eight dollars and forty-three cents in 2025 due to closure of Philippines. Philip sixty-six Los Angeles and Valero. Benicia refineries warning any disruptions to oil and foreign gasoline supply will exasperate. California's gasoline dilemma and drive up prices. Impacting California, Nevada and Arizona per Monday analysis reported. By Fox News Democratic Governor Newsom press office. Called the study unsourced, but posted on X, the governor directed the state to redouble efforts to work with refineries.

• 1:19:27Patrick Bet-David?

  To ensure a safe and affordable and reliable supply of gasoline. While former LA Mayor Antonio Villarosa, a Democrat responded. If we continue to drive refineries out of California, gas prices will soar and disproportionately affect those who can least afford it. What a weird thing to say. All these guys are becoming conservatives and capitalists all of a sudden. Urging balanced climate policies. Tom, your thoughts?

• 1:19:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Well. I'm scared to say this, but I actually agree with Antonio Villarosa.

• 1:19:56Speaker 08

  Oh, weird.

• 1:19:57Tom Ellsworth?

  He is correct. He was also mayor of Los Angeles for a time. And he's pointing out, if you drive the refineries out, there goes the supply, the price is going up. What I love about the governor's office is this guy from the University of Southern California. Says something and rather than ignoring it because it's nothing, they say that study is unsourced and nothing. Really? It seems to have got your attention on a Monday morning. What's up with that? He said, no, no, no, no, no, but we're calling on the state to redouble efforts to work with refineries. And that there's a typo there. It should say the few refineries that are left. State should redouble efforts to work with the few of refineries left to ensure a reliable supply of gasoline. What this is, guess what?

• 1:20:42Tom Ellsworth?

  This is called consequence. It's the headlines. That's what's happening here. And the guy that chased them out through taxation and regulation, Governor Newsom, is now seeing people like University of Southern California Professor Michael Michie saying, hey, man, guess what? The supply goes down, the price goes up, and it's going to affect all these Californians, you idiot. And Mayor Villarosa says, you're right. And it's the people that can least afford it. Because one of the things that that mayor, Antonio, one of the things that he was correct about, he was worried about, everyone wanted to recreate downtown LA with jobs. And you know what he kept asking? Where are the workers going to live that they

• 1:21:25Tom Ellsworth?

  could actually get here in less than an hour in the morning? You see that? He was right. Everyone's moving out to Riverside. They're moving out to San Bernardino. They're moving out to Valencia. They're moving out to Canyon Country. They're moving out to Ventura County. Why? Because that's where they could find housing, save communities, slightly better schools. And so he was right. And he's talking about the people that can least afford it are the people that are going to be commuting the most because they have to go out to find the affordable housing. And then when jobs are in central Los Angeles, or in the more urban areas, they got to do that. So this is, you know what this is? This is another reason why Gavin is this going to be a target, target, target, target during the primaries?

• 1:22:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Because you know what I would do if I was running against him and I was Josh Shapiro? I would beat him with this story. I would crush him with these things. But that's what's going on. Once again, Gavin Newsom's, a vote for Gavin Newsom has consequences.

• 1:22:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Go back to that chart that you had, Brandon. Go back to the one that you had.

• 1:22:28Speaker 11

  You want this one or, Adam just sent me this one. You want this one or the map?

• 1:22:30Patrick Bet-David?

  That's, that's a good one as well. But let me see that. That's Adam. I'll let Adam talk about that. Go to the other one that you had. So keep that for Adam. Go to that. Yeah, go to that one. Check this one out. Look at this. Oh my God, Florida's so wide you can't even see it.

• 1:22:44Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the gas prices.

• 1:22:45Adam Sosnick?

  I love it.

• 1:22:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at California. Isn't it just beautiful though?

• 1:22:49Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:22:49Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, some people who are from California who are conservatives will say, I told you California is a red state. Look at that. It's a red state. It's a red state is what it is. I live in a red state, man. But I'm telling you, like, you know, I go to church on Sundays and I do my best to be very, do my best to live a good life, live a, you know, as a, as a good man. It's tough, you know, you, every day you make mistakes. But as much as I try to live a good life, when I compare myself to the people who live in California who are that noble, I, I.

• 1:23:22Adam Sosnick?

  You don't even hold a flame to them.

• 1:23:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, like, let me tell you, I think if I was to go out there and rally, like be a political, you know, community organizer, you know what I would do? I would request anybody who currently lives in California and lived there from 2000, and you didn't leave after the COVID policies, you kept your kids in California from 2021, 22, 23, 24, 25. If you've lived in California during those five years, I would actually campaign to get all of those guys to have a saint in front of their names.

• 1:23:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Don't you think? Like on the idea yet, Saint Thomas, Saint Thomas Ellsworth, Saint Vincent O'Shaughnessy, Saint Adam Saucier, Saint Brandon Aceto. Like, I think they've earned the right to get the saint. Am I asking for too much?

• 1:24:09Adam Sosnick?

  And they're, they're all very, they're all very religious. They're, they're a member of the same church, Our Lady of Perpetual Taxation.

• 1:24:15Patrick Bet-David?

  You have a new pope and you got, you know, I think, I think, I think they need to really consider it. And I think if Gavin did that, he can keep those people for another four years. Just add that little saint in front of it. Adam, your thoughts on this?

• 1:24:26Adam Sosnick?

  Saint Ricardo Aguilar, mi amigo.

• 1:24:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, he loves that place.

• 1:24:29Adam Sosnick?

  So I'm going to tell you a funny story that you're going to appreciate and this involves our friend Mario. Who I love to death. Shout out to you Mario Aguilar. So California, I think, has the top seven of the top 10 most expensive cities when it comes to gas prices. San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, LA, San Diego, Oakland, San Jose are the top seven most expensive cities to get gas in the United States. So rounds of the top 10. They'd have more cities on the list, but they ran out of cities. So California is the most expensive. So I'm with PBD and Mario driving from Vegas to LA. You remember this story?

• 1:25:12Adam Sosnick?

  If you don't remember it, this was the story, the time where we spent three hours laughing about, "Look at the view." When Mario's telling a story about when you guys first showed the PHP and you guys. You're looking at some bitches out there. What are you looking at? Some bitch at town eight? You know, it was a whole funny story. We'll go there. So I'm with Mario. You remember this. So shout out to you Mario. Went to town eight. So we had a rental car. I think we drove from Vegas at like literally midnight. We got to LA. It took us a couple of hours. Yeah. That the next day we had to go get gas. Mario and I, and he was taking me. I think I was gonna go see somebody. And I don't have a car in Miami, much less a rental car in LA. We went to go get gas. When I saw the price of the gas, I was like, "What?

• 1:25:57Adam Sosnick?

  $7.95." I remember the number. This is what gas cost in LA. We stayed, I think, at the Beverly Hilton or some fancy place or whatever. But I was like so shocked at the price of gas and I was like, "Look at the view." The price of the gas? That's right. Thank you, Tom. So the point is this, I was shell shocked. Did you have the over/under? Tom, you gotta end this comedy career right now, buddy. The, uh, the point is this, you remember that story that we were with Mario? Shocking on whore of the price of gas in LA. This is my first experience getting gas there with Mario.

• 1:26:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, listen, one thing's for sure. The way the guy is breaking down and what can happen in California with gas prices, it makes you think, but if Newsom plays offense and changes it up, maybe it'll be 7.50 instead of $8. So, look, to the people that are worried about it, he's gonna figure it out. You guys already have so much trust in him. It's gonna be fine. Be patient. I say things are gonna get better if you guys wait another 15 years. So, stick, I mean, look.

• 1:26:59Adam Sosnick?

  Patting down the hatches.

• 1:27:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, stick around. It's gonna be fine to all the Armenians that are DMing me pissed off. By the way, let me tell you, this is the perfect time to say this. You're Teduk Hayek or I get to go on Suray Betun.

• 1:27:13Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:27:13Patrick Bet-David?

  On Manect, I have an Armenian circle and I have an Assyrian circle. And I want to get all the people that follow our content on Manect for Armenian circle and an Assyrian circle. Download the app, Manect, Armenians, get on there, talk to each other, network with each other. Whichever Manect circle of Armenians and Assyrians gets to 1,000, it's 10 bucks a month and you guys can network with each other all you want. It's awesome. They're so busy talking to each other. Whichever one gets to 1,000 people first, I'm gonna host a leadership event at our hangar here for Armenians and Assyrians, but whoever does it first. And the reason why I'm doing both is because my mother's Armenian, Bogosyan, and my dad's Assyrian.

• 1:27:53Adam Sosnick?

  Shalom, Gabriel. Shalom, Dachit.

• 1:27:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Bar Ezzes, Bar Ezzes, and Shalor.

• 1:27:57Adam Sosnick?

  Shalom, Dachit.

• 1:27:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I can't wait to see what's gonna happen. By the way, which community thinks more competitive, Armenians or Assyrians? It's kind of a tough one, right?

• 1:28:04Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, the Armenians.

• 1:28:04Patrick Bet-David?

  You think so?

• 1:28:05Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, yeah, big time. Seriously? How many more Armenians and Assyrians are there? That's ridiculous. I haven't seen the Assyrians get too competitive.

• 1:28:10Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm not trying to create a civil war. All I'm saying is like, you're gonna say Armenians are more competitive than Assyrians?

• 1:28:14Adam Sosnick?

  I think way more competitive than Assyrians. I think Armenians got this. You wanna bet? Yeah, yeah. I don't think the Assyrians. What do you wanna do? Armenia, they kinda have their own country.

• 1:28:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, that's where you're gonna go. Guys, we gotta cancel this show. I gotta take my shoe out. We have some fun stuff we gotta do off camera.

• 1:29:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's go to the next story. I'm just gonna go into that story. I don't think, I don't think we're gonna get a better transition into that story, but let's do it now. So, alright, so. Inside Waltz's ouster, okay, before Signal Gate, talks with Israel angered Trump. Alright, so let's go through this here. Let me read this story to you guys. President Trump ousted national security advisor Mike Waltz. This is Wapo, so you just know you know who's writing it. A former Green Beret officer, due to frustrations over his backlash, hawkish stance, particularly after Waltz coordinated with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu on military options against Iran, with a source saying Waltz wanted to take US policy in a direction Trump wasn't comfortable with because the US hadn't attempted a diplomatic solution, his inclusion.

• 1:30:27Patrick Bet-David?

  of a journalist in a sensitive signal group chat and Mart sealed his faith Trump nominated Waltz as ambassador to the United Nations the Austria influenced by White House Chief of Staff Suzie Wiles view that Waltz was not a good fit prompt prompted some officials to question the need for a traditional National Security Council with one official stating some of that just happens through the working process as Trump prefers loyalists like Secretary said Marco Rubio his interim replacement who has shed traditionalist views to align with Trump's agenda Vinnie I'm coming to you first

• 1:31:00Speaker 08

  alright guys so I don't know first of all this is it's so wild that this story wasn't talked about longer than just the you know half a day that it was on so basically I'm gonna break it down on May 3rd Trump basically got rid of Mike Waltz fired him he was serving as National Security Advisor and just to remind everybody Mike Waltz is the same guy who accidentally added a journalist to the highly sensitive signal group chat where top officials were discussing attack plans in Yemen alright he tried to claim and he's on camera saying it that the contact was sucked in whatever the hell that means that alone should have got him fired but for some reason Trump kept him around fast forward to May 1st on my birthday remember this he got caught using signal chat during a cabinet meeting Brandon you have that photo that I have yeah but it wasn't just the regular

• 1:31:45Speaker 08

  app that we use and we use signal when we leave the country alright guys it was something called TM signal an Israeli modified version with archiving features designed to relay and store potential classified info then May 3rd Washington Post reported that he was fired after engaging in intense coordination with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about military operations against Iran ahead of Bibi's Oval Office meeting so basically okay Waltz was going behind Trump's back strategizing with a foreign head of state about striking Iran's nuclear sites okay Trump found out about that didn't seem

• 1:32:22Patrick Bet-David?

  is that confirmed

• 1:32:23Speaker 08

  these are all confirmed this is all Washington Post this is a Washington Post

• 1:32:27Patrick Bet-David?

  so what is that story with the with the text go back to the signal thing what do they show

• 1:32:32Speaker 08

  so they're showing his they're showing that he's on TM signal He's on the Israeli app. It's a going back and forth with Israel. This is an Israeli intelligence app. This isn't the signal that we use. This is going back and forth with Israel in the meeting. This guy is a freaking moron, just a complete moron like he didn't learn his lessons. Okay. And then the article even says, Pat, at the top, "The view by some in the administration was that Waltz was trying to tip the scales in favor of military action and was operating hand in glove with the Israelis." Okay. And by the way, it doesn't get worse than that. All right. Our national security advisor is sitting in a cabinet meeting, going back and forth, texting with the foreign government. Okay.

• 1:33:17Speaker 08

  And then somebody, one of Trump's advisors said, "You can't do that." This is in quotations, and Brendan, it's in that article. "You can't do that. You work for the president of your country, not a president of another country." Okay. If you think about, that's kind of, that's borderline treason, Pat. You can't work hand in glove with a foreign leader to push military action behind the president's back. Okay. And then your punishment, instead of getting like in deep shit, guess what happens? He gets nominated, he's not in yet, nominated to be the ambassador of the United Nations, which he'll probably get. And now there's reports out there that Trump has now cut off direct contact with Bibi Netanyahu. Reports from Israeli Army Radio and other outlets say Trump team told Israeli officials

• 1:33:58Speaker 08

  they believe Bibi was trying to manipulate him, especially when it came to Iran and Syria, and Trump wasn't having it. Okay. And then just three days ago, Trump dropped the requirements for Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel as part of the nuclear deal with the US, which means Trump basically said to Saudi Arabia, "You don't need to be friends with Israel to make a deal with us." And that condition now is off the table. And it's kind of, if you think about it, Pat, yes, Israel's our ally, but that type of sneaky goy behind the door, Trump does not play that shit. He's all about peace, he's all about diplomacy. You're in there using a different Israeli app to tell them what the hell's going on in a meeting? And listen, again, I could criticize Israel as the government, and it has nothing to do with Jewish people, but Bibi Netanyahu, how many times has he come to our Congress

• 1:34:43Speaker 08

  and said, "We should strike these people, we should go to war here," when he said about Iraq? You know what he said about Iraq? He said, and I quote, "I guarantee, I guarantee, if we take out Saddam Hussein, it would have enormous positive reverberations around the region." And it didn't. You doing that type of shit and trying to get us into another war behind Trump's back? He found out, he fired him, and he's not happy with it. Adam. I think it's great.

• 1:35:07Adam Sosnick?

  So, I, this guy's, uh, Mike Walz?

• 1:35:11Speaker 08

  Mike Walz.

• 1:35:12Adam Sosnick?

  His name keeps popping up here. And if he did anything to jeopardize American security and American authority and the Trump presidency, he should be fired. But as I continue to remind you, don't pay attention to what Trump says, watch what he does. So, you know, you were saying that he should be fired, we should let go of this guy. It's like, well, he keeps being a part of the administration and he's just nominated for the United Nations. So could it be that this is just smoke and not actual fire and people are running with the story and just putting it out there and not having enough information? I don't know. This is not something that I want to take a strong stance on because I don't know Mike Walz. I don't know this situation. A lot of hearsay here.

• 1:35:54Speaker 08

  Well, that's reported. You, you, you're not in, you didn't read into the story. I did.

• 1:35:58Adam Sosnick?

  Believe everything the Washington Post says?

• 1:36:00Speaker 08

  No, no, no, no, Adam. I'm just telling you, I'm just telling you from all the reports that I've heard. The guy got in trouble for, for leaking and putting somebody in the chat. Then he's on camera. They took photos of him doing it.

• 1:36:10Adam Sosnick?

  But he's, he continues to have a job.

• 1:36:12Speaker 08

  And Adam, I understand where your stance is coming from, but I did the research and all the reporting is pointing at the guy was communicating with Israel in a cabinet meeting to push for war with Iran. You can't do that.

• 1:36:24Adam Sosnick?

  And what's his position, Mike Walz?

• 1:36:26Speaker 08

  He was the national security. He was. He's fired.

• 1:36:29Adam Sosnick?

  Him.

• 1:36:30Speaker 08

  Okay, he's fired.

• 1:36:30Adam Sosnick?

  So, is he fired?

• 1:36:31Speaker 08

  What do you mean on him? He was communicating with Israel and Bibi Netanyahu. That's not good.

• 1:36:35Adam Sosnick?

  To me, the, the, the country he's communicating with is almost secondary. It's not irrelevant, but it's secondary. You're an American. You work for America. You work for the Trump administration. Your loyalty is to America. What are you doing? Whether you're talking to the UK, whether you're talking to South Korea, whether you're talking to Israel, or whether you're talking to China or a foe, what are you doing? Make sure that you're abiding by the Trump administration's guidelines.

• 1:37:01Speaker 08

  Hundred percent.

• 1:37:01Adam Sosnick?

  That's my number one thing.

• 1:37:02Speaker 08

  It's America. It's the Constitution.

• 1:37:03Adam Sosnick?

  That's my number one thing. Did he go behind Trump's back?

• 1:37:06Speaker 08

  Yes.

• 1:37:06Adam Sosnick?

  Or not?

• 1:37:07Speaker 08

  Yes.

• 1:37:07Adam Sosnick?

  So it is on him.

• 1:37:08Speaker 08

  Okay, but.

• 1:37:09Adam Sosnick?

  Of course, every country, no matter who they are, have their own self-interest and want to perpetuate their own, uh, ideology. And goals, of course.

• 1:37:18Speaker 08

  Yeah, pushing us into, hold on, Adam, I agree.

• 1:37:19Adam Sosnick?

  Whatever it is.

• 1:37:21Speaker 08

  I agree 1,000%.

• 1:37:22Adam Sosnick?

  My point is, this is on, who's this on?

• 1:37:24Speaker 08

  I'm gonna tell you right now.

• 1:37:25Adam Sosnick?

  This is on Mike Walz.

• 1:37:26Speaker 08

  Okay, and Israel and Bibi Netanyahu. Because if you're gonna claim that you're our biggest ally, then what are we talking about? Trump, Trump love is the most pro-Israel president, pulls off of the chair, respects the hell out of him. But you're gonna go behind his back and try to push for a war?

• 1:37:41Adam Sosnick?

  What did Trump say?

• 1:37:42Speaker 08

  Trump fired the guy, he's gone.

• 1:37:44Adam Sosnick?

  What did Trump say about Netanyahu? What did he actually do? Cause all I hear is a lot of hearsay.

• 1:37:50Speaker 08

  A lot of, no, Adam, there's just reports everywhere that they're canceling. Even Pete Hexeth was supposed to go to Israel, he canceled the trip, he's in Saudi Arabia right now. I'm just saying, Adam, these, what I'm saying are facts, what he did was obviously wrong.

• 1:38:01Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know if what you're saying is facts, I think you're, you're reading stories and you're reading into it, that's fine.

• 1:38:06Speaker 08

  This is called doing my homework and doing my research, and I did it.

• 1:38:10Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm trying to see, what, Adam, what are you trying to say?

• 1:38:12Adam Sosnick?

  So, what I'm trying to say is this is on-

• 1:38:14Patrick Bet-David?

  So you're saying if he screwed up, it's on him?

• 1:38:15Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:38:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, great, then what?

• 1:38:16Adam Sosnick?

  You don't think every single, uh, prime minister, president, leader, is trying to influence Trump in some way? Everyone is. You don't think Xi is sending his diplomats to try to influence Trump? You don't think Iran is sending their influence to try to influence Trump during their nuclear negotiations? It's the same for any country. It is on the job of the administration, the person representing the United States, to hold the line and say, no, this is what Trump wants to do.

• 1:38:43Patrick Bet-David?

  He didn't do it, that's what he's saying.

• 1:38:44Adam Sosnick?

  That's my point.

• 1:38:45Speaker 08

  Okay.

• 1:38:45Adam Sosnick?

  Now, if I had a country I'd be worried about, uh, it would not be Israel as an American.

• 1:38:51Speaker 08

  Why?

• 1:38:52Adam Sosnick?

  Well, because there's a country called Iran.

• 1:38:55Speaker 08

  That he's trying to push us to go to war with and Americans are gonna die, Adam.

• 1:38:58Adam Sosnick?

  Can I finish my point, tough guy?

• 1:38:59Speaker 08

  That's what I don't like.

• 1:38:59Adam Sosnick?

  So, by the way, did you hear the story about this, uh, $400 million luxury airplane that Qatar has gifted Trump?

• 1:39:07Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 1:39:07Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, what do you know about Qatar? What do you know about Qatar?

• 1:39:11Speaker 08

  Well, are we changing, are we changing the topic? Because I'm still confused-

• 1:39:15Adam Sosnick?

  Not changing the topic, we're talking about-

• 1:39:16Speaker 08

  That Mike Walz is wrong, but you think it's okay for a national security advisor, okay, that's sworn into office, sitting in there using a freaking Israeli, uh, communication app-

• 1:39:27Speaker 08

  Going directly with another government.

• 1:39:28Adam Sosnick?

  Vinnie, we've already talked about this. I do not think it's okay. This is on Mike Walz.

• 1:39:31Speaker 08

  But it's just on both of them.

• 1:39:33Adam Sosnick?

  I'm moving on to a different thought.

• 1:39:34Speaker 08

  It's on Israel too.

• 1:39:35Adam Sosnick?

  I'm moving on to a different thought in this regard, the Trump administration.

• 1:39:37Speaker 08

  No, but you were trying to, you're trying to.

• 1:39:39Adam Sosnick?

  Vinnie, shush for a second.

• 1:39:40Speaker 08

  You were trying to relate both of them.

• 1:39:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me hear you this. Tell me where you're going with Qatar.

• 1:39:44Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, so what I would want to understand is, this is a pretty outrageous gift, a $400 million luxury gift that Qatar is just giving. And by the way, if you say you don't know, tell me what you know about Qatar, what they're doing in the world. Do you have any idea?

• 1:40:01Speaker 08

  Adam, I'm still waiting.

• 1:40:02Adam Sosnick?

  Just answer the specific question.

• 1:40:04Speaker 08

  Always change, always change.

• 1:40:04Patrick Bet-David?

  If he's not gonna give you the answer, you go ahead and say it.

• 1:40:06Speaker 08

  Yeah, tell me.

• 1:40:07Adam Sosnick?

  Do you know anything about Qatar?

• 1:40:08Speaker 08

  Tell me about Qatar.

• 1:40:09Adam Sosnick?

  Do you know anything?

• 1:40:10Speaker 08

  Yeah, it's a Middle Eastern country, Adam.

• 1:40:12Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, yeah, okay, they're just a Middle Eastern country. Qatar is quietly becoming a major power player in the Middle East. This $400 million luxury jet, by the way, if they gave it to Joe Biden, the right would be going insane, including you. What is this? So Qatar, what I know about Qatar is they're one of the richest petro-states in the world. I think their GDP is one of the highest in the world, GDP per capita. They're funding terrorism and extremism and jihadism all around the world. And now, all of a sudden, they're giving us a $400 million jet? They're a double agent. And we'll get to what they're doing in our universities and our influencers. They're a double agent. They're basically

• 1:40:54Adam Sosnick?

  saying, hey, America, we're on your side. We're here funding terrorism, or they're fighting terrorism, and then they're secretly funding terrorism, and they're letting Hamas hang out in their luxury hotels in Doha. So it's lipstick on a pig, and I'm very concerned about this. Why would you accept, he's saying, well, listen, if someone wants to give you a free putt, you know, you just take the putt. Mr. President, this ain't golf. This ain't Jack Nicklaus. This ain't Arnold Palmer. This ain't Sam Snead. This is a terrorist state who's aligned with Iran, and China to some regard, gifting you a $400 million plane. You don't have any concerns whatsoever? They're housing Hamas. They're supporting Al Qaeda, Al-Nusra, ISIS. They're...

• 1:41:37Adam Sosnick?

  Sewing discord all over the Middle East. And by the way, don't take Adam's word for it. He's just some dumb Jew on the internet. Do you know whose word you should take for it? How about the following countries that have severed all diplomatic ties from Qatar? Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain and Egypt. Because they've accused Qatar of supporting terrorism and destabilizing the Middle East. So this hidden agenda that Qatar has when they're funding universities and sowing discord and NGOs and thinktakes and now paying influencers to sow discord around the United States. I have massive concerns. So this lipstick on a pig with this $400 million gift is gonna come at a price. You know, they say there's no such thing as a free lunch.

• 1:42:22Adam Sosnick?

  Well, this is a free frickin' plane. So if that doesn't have concerns, I don't know what does.

• 1:42:27Speaker 08

  So you think Trump is getting played?

• 1:42:28Adam Sosnick?

  But go ahead, blame it on Bibi.

• 1:42:30Speaker 08

  You don't think Trump, you think Trump is getting played?

• 1:42:32Adam Sosnick?

  You're trying to tell me? If Qatar gave Biden a $400 million airplane, would you have any questions?

• 1:42:38Speaker 08

  No, I question everything, but you just talk about my, you just talk about reporting. Do you know all the details and what entails everything about this story? Just like how you asked me about my story? Do you know that he's not flying? He's not gonna be on this thing? This thing is gonna go in a museum.

• 1:42:51Adam Sosnick?

  Thank you Qatar, but we're good.

• 1:42:52Speaker 08

  You say thank you, move, no.

• 1:42:53Adam Sosnick?

  Because this is gonna come at a price.

• 1:42:55Speaker 08

  Again, I don't know the.

• 1:42:56Adam Sosnick?

  If Vladimir Putin pours you a vodka and says, "Have a drink." You're drinking that thing?

• 1:43:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me take a pause. Tom, I'm coming to you. I got some thoughts on this because it's all over the place where we went. We have like three stories in one, but Tom, what thoughts do you have?

• 1:43:08Tom Ellsworth?

  So a very large gift like this from a foreign government. You know, these are the, these are the reasons that businesses have rules on gifts. We don't let our, our salespeople, any company that I've worked for or with Pat or, and before, you can't take a gift more than dinner. You can't. It says if they want to take you on a trip, you check with your boss, what are they doing? Hey, they're all going to Hawaii. They invited my wife and I to go with them. He said, okay, well, you pay for the hotel room with our company credit card and then pick up one dinner. Nothing extravagant, but pick up one of the dinners. Why? So because you're not for sale. So those are, that's how bribes happen. They give gifts. Did you

• 1:43:50Tom Ellsworth?

  know that every gift given to the, to the president gets recorded and there's like a cultural office? Most of the gifts are cultural in nature. You know, a gold plate from India that was like almost 200 years old and it goes in and they, you know where they end up? They end up at the Smithsonian of all these gifts that were given. But you give a gift like that, it just opens up all sorts of discussions on, oh, that's kind of, it's kind of weird. You can't do that. So I think when you, a big gift like this, unless he wants to say, that's very, very nice of you. We'll put it over here and everybody will use it. Appreciate it. You know, that's one side, but it's just why are they giving

• 1:44:29Tom Ellsworth?

  it? Qatar is a nation of 3 million people. And for all of you sports fans out there, the global soccer fans feel that Qatar pulled off the largest bribe and rigged selection process in sports history when it gave this mega maniac in 2010, billions of dollars of personal wealth through the back door that they still don't know where it is and they won World Cup 2022. Correct. Not Italy, not Brazil. Doha.

• 1:45:11Tom Ellsworth?

  Countries with massive soccer heritage and World Cups on the shelf. France, Italy, Germany, UK, even US. Qatar wins the World Cup and it gets played at a time of year where everybody's worried about the athletes. So Qatar is known to be, and by the way, and now Qatar has got problems with its neighbors. You're off the list, you're off the list, you're off this, you're off this, with its Arab neighbors. It's kind of weird. So Qatar has always had this reputation and now the gift this big, I don't know. I, you know, if I was president, I, I don't think I would accept it.

• 1:45:46Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, can you do me a favor? Play that clip, Rob. Play that clip. I keep calling you Rob. Yeah.

• 1:45:51Tom Ellsworth?

  And by the way.

• 1:45:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Play the clip, the Trump clip.

• 1:45:53Tom Ellsworth?

  CeeLo Stadium?

• 1:45:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Play this clip.

• 1:45:55Tom Ellsworth?

  Rather.

• 1:45:56Speaker 10

  Who has really, we've helped them a lot over the years in terms of security and safety. I feel they, I think they, and very, very nicely, and I have a lot of respect for the leadership and for the leader, Qatar. And I think they very nicely, they knew about it because they buy Boeings, they buy a lot of Boeings. And they knew about it, and they said, we would like to do something, and if we can get a 747 as a contribution to our Defense Department, to use during a couple of years while they're building the other ones, I think that was a very nice gesture. Now, I could be a stupid person and say, oh, no, we don't want a free plane. We give free things out, we'll take one too.

• 1:46:40Speaker 10

  And it helps us out, because again, we're talking about, we have 40-year-old aircraft. The money we spend, the maintenance we spend on those planes to keep them tippy-top is astronomical, you wouldn't even believe it. So I think it's a great gesture from Qatar. I appreciate it very much.

• 1:46:57Patrick Bet-David?

  And do you have the other clip? There's a clip where the lady says, you're ABC, aren't you? You're this ABC. When he's signing the... Yeah, when you do that one, and then, and then I want to get into it, so we can go to the next story. Go ahead.

• 1:47:09Speaker 17

  People who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you, why not leave it behind?

• 1:47:14Speaker 10

  You're ABC fake news, huh? It's only, only ABC, well, a few of you would. Let me tell you, you should be embarrassed to ask him that question. They're giving us a free jet. I could say, no, no, no, don't give us, I want to pay you a billion, or 400 million, or whatever it is. Or I could say, thank you very much. You know? There was an old golfer named Sam Snead, did you ever hear of him? He won 82 tournaments, was a great golfer. And he had a motto, when they give you a putt, you say, thank you very much, you pick up your ball, and you walk to the next hole. A lot of people are stupid. They say, no, no, I insist on putting it, and then they putt it, and they miss it.

• 1:47:53Patrick Bet-David?

  And piss off their partner.

• 1:47:54Speaker 10

  And their partner gets angry on them. You know what? Remember that, Sam Snead, when they give you a putt...

• 1:48:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so there's two, two things to talk about here. There's Israel, we can't, we can't just completely forget about that story with Netanyahu, and then there's the Qatar story. So for me, okay, in a dark way, let's play devil's advocate, in a very dark way of killing an enemy. Okay? Give them a gift...

• 1:48:23Patrick Bet-David?

  That gift is what? Pagers. The pagers then do what? Blow up. And then you die. Right? Well, they technically, it wasn't a gift. I know, it wasn't a gift. They purchased them, right? So they blow. It wasn't a gift at all. Totally get it. But I'm now saying that let's go even worse. So if that's something you're buying, it's even worse. Now, think about gift. You give a gift. The gift is a plane.

• 1:48:48Patrick Bet-David?

  And it's to fly the president. I don't want the president in that plane at all going anywhere. Whatsoever. You want to take that plane? You run through god knows how many different things on the back end to make sure we're 100% protected and then use it for something else. Or put it in a museum? Great, we'll take that gift and put it in a museum. I don't want the president I voted for to be flying that place anywhere. I just don't trust it. And Qatar, you know, the World Cup history, we've all read about it, we've all heard about it. These guys went above and beyond to make sure they got that deal. And by the way, it sucked. The World Cup wasn't exciting over there. The heat, the weather, the temperatures, what it was like, and it's now empty. Who the hell is waking up saying, I want to go play soccer over there? Those are empty places.

• 1:49:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay? Now, uh, uh, let's go to, um, let's go to, uh, Israel and Netanyahu. So this, so the president's going to Middle East for a four day trip. And he doesn't want to stop by Israel? You couldn't make one of the days to go stop. Or is he stopping there or no? No, he's going to the Middle East, not stopping by Israel. Right. Trump's Middle East trip leaves Netanyahu watching from the sidelines again. So you go there and you don't go visit Israel? I absolutely love this. I love it. Because to me, there, this whole election, the way he won. There were so many moments where he was in Israel and he's putting his hand and he's got the yarmulke on and he's, oh my God, he's bought. Bought and paid for. And Trump's like, I'm campaigning in poetry.

• 1:50:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, yeah, we need your support. He's in Dearborn, Muslims are endorsing him, and yeah, great. And then you become a president, and then you're governing based on what you think is best. And if you think somebody behind closed doors thinks, and they say something like, "We can get him to do anything, because I got somebody on the inside that we got them elected, and we got that..." A guy with Trump's type of a DNA and wiring, nothing will annoy a person like that more than another person thinking they own them. Nothing, at all. I absolutely love what he's doing, and how he's handling it.

• 1:51:01Patrick Bet-David?

  For them to not think, "We get to tell Trump what to do, he works for us." I love that. I don't even want that to be in the, what do you call it? In the ecosystem of people talking about this. Mainstream. I don't even want that narrative. I want that out. This changes that narrative. The people that are always like, "Jewish people, Israel is the enemy, and you know..." "There's Jews this, and there's this..." No. Those guys are also part of the problem, by the way. Because they go full here. But the other guys are also like, "Well, no, you know, it's just not them..." "You know, Israel's, we have to do everything for them." They're also, "No, no, relax. You don't, can't get me into a war. I don't want to get into this war with Iran. I'd like to find a way to do it in a different way.

• 1:51:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's try to find a way to negotiate in a different way. You want to do, do your thing. I'm not getting involved." He makes the phone call with Pakistan and, what do you call it, India, hey, you know... Relax. Relax, don't do anything, and then Pakistan still does something and goes back to it? I love the way he's handling it. And by the way, you know what's the craziest thing? I'll tell you the craziest thing as well. I also understand Netanyahu. What's Netanyahu's priority when he wakes up? "America first?" Hell, no! No way. What's Netanyahu's priority? Israel. Okay, what MBS is? Saudi Arabia. Saudi first! What's Putin's, Russia? That's right! What's China, Xi, I mean... But what I'm saying with that is, I get it. I totally get it. I get what you want, and what you're trying to get me to get into, because it's going to give you a bigger back, and to go out there and go after Iran, because America's saying, "Let's go do this."

• 1:52:29Patrick Bet-David?

  I get what you're trying to get me into. I don't want anything to do with the war that you want. I don't want that war. You want that war. You want to go pick a fight with them? Go, I'm out of here. I'm not playing this. So I, it's gonna be interesting. And by the way, keep in mind, your position could change in six weeks. Cause in six weeks, they could have a meeting in Israel and they're going and saying all this stuff about Iran. You don't know 90% of the details of what's being negotiated behind closers and what types of deals are being brokered. We are simply talking heads.

• 1:52:56Adam Sosnick?

  Of course.

• 1:52:57Patrick Bet-David?

  And just having conversations. Let's not kind of get over, you know, and think like, you know, oh, you know, we really know what's going on. And it's like, no, we're just giving our thoughts and the audience gets to hear and say, well, you know what? That's pretty reasonable. I never thought about it that way. And I don't know if I agree with Pat. I don't know if I agree with, I think I agree with Adam. I agree with Vinnie. No problem, you know, it's good. But this is the idea. I get where he's at and I fully support how the president is handling this. Good for you. I like it. I like it. I, I like that that's taking place. Go ahead, Adam.

• 1:53:26Adam Sosnick?

  This trip is a trip to Saudi. So, you know, I, I don't, look, I, this is me speculating. I don't even know if his, if Israel was on the agenda. That's fine. They have a phone call, they can talk. By the way, Bibi Netanyahu was here in February and in April. You don't think they have an open line of communication?

• 1:53:41Patrick Bet-David?

  I do think they have an open line of communication.

• 1:53:42Adam Sosnick?

  Of course, I'm not saying you, okay?

• 1:53:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:53:44Adam Sosnick?

  But, you know, in, in, cause I start to see a lot of sort of like, uh, you know, tensions subduing about, uh, what's going on with the Ayatollahs in Iran. Only one country, uh, that I know of out there is just vocally shouting death to America. And that is Iran, where you have Israel with, uh, American flags everywhere they go. I only see the Gaza community, um, and the Hamas community burning the American flag. Where I see a lot of Jewish people wearing pins with an American flag and Israeli flag. Yes, I do understand that, uh, none of these, uh, leaders should think for even one second that they own America. Nor do I believe that. A lot of it is sort of hyperbolic. By the way, fact check this.

• 1:54:28Adam Sosnick?

  Did Iran try to kill President Trump?

• 1:54:33Adam Sosnick?

  How about this key incidents? If you can check this, the US Secret Service increased Trump's security after intelligence surfaced about Iranian plot to assassinate him. 2024. Asif Merchant, a Pakistani national with ties to Iran, was arrested in Houston. He attempted to hire hitmen to assassinate Trump. November 28th, November 2024. The Department of Justice charged Farhad Shakiri, an alleged Iranian operative in connection with a murder-for-hire plot targeting Trump. Um, yeah, I'd be very skeptical of Iran. By the way, we're not even talking about what they're doing with their nuclear situation. So, uh, do I trust the ayatollahs of Iran? Not one bit. Do I trust Israel 100%?

• 1:55:15Adam Sosnick?

  No, because I don't trust anybody 100%. America first means America first, but that doesn't mean our allies last. And that's where people get confused.

• 1:55:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. By the way, it's funny, Brandon, can you go to our Instagram account? Something just real funny to just get a little bit lighter and then we'll get to another story here. Go to Vagim's Instagram account and look what this fun fact about McDonald's just popped up. And you tell me what this looks like, okay? You tell me what this looks like. Right there, second one. Second story. Second story. Right there.

• 1:55:47Adam Sosnick?

  The one with McDonald's on it?

• 1:55:48Patrick Bet-David?

  This is the McDonald's spoon banned in 79 for shocking drug scandal. What does that look like? Looks like what the cops at earlier. They use this back in the days. Let me get to this next story.

• 1:56:03Adam Sosnick?

  It's the Macron diplomacy accessory kit.

• 1:56:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me get to the next story. This is kind of a transition of what we just talked about right now. So DOJ to investigate Muslim-led development targeted by Texas GOP senator says. Brandon, if you have this story to pull up.

• 1:56:15Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:56:16Patrick Bet-David?

  So, little weird. I don't know if you guys have seen this video. I'm assuming you guys have seen this video.

• 1:56:21Adam Sosnick?

  I haven't seen it.

• 1:56:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Senator John Cornyn, who called the Muslim-led Epic City development anti-Semitic and anti-Christian, announced that the Justice Department will investigate whether the project around one of North Texas's largest mosques violates federal law, stating, "I am grateful to Attorney General Bondi and the Department of Justice for hearing my concerns and opening an investigation while claiming religious discrimination and Sharia law have no place in Lone Star." State the East Plano Islamic Center. Wow, this isn't the Plano, Tom. Back in Epic City, faced accusations from Korn, Texas, Attorney General Kim Paxton, Governor Greg Gappet, and the right-wing bloggers of creating a Muslim-only

• 1:57:03Patrick Bet-David?

  community imposing Islamic law, which Attorney Dan Kajal, defending the project, denied, saying, "From day one, their intention was to comply completely and wholeheartedly with the law." What is crazy to me is how far we have come. We haven't come since 9/11. Is this the actual property? Yeah, do you want the view of the city or the guy promoting it? The city looks crazy. Is this guy promoting the city? Yes. How long is this? This one is, uh, two minutes. Play the city first. Okay. Watch the city first, and then we'll go to this guy promoting it. Tom, have you seen this thing? Have you seen the city? Watch this. Go for it. That's what they want to build.

• 1:57:43Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't think you need the music.

  Vinnie, thoughts? I mean, Adam, I'm shocked that you, of all people, you didn't hear this or anything like that. No, I'm moving there, bro. Oh. And Brendan, I sent you what Governor Abbott said about the whole situation. Thank you. He said they launched investigations for violations of the housing and consumer laws. And Corn asked the feds to actually step in, that it may exclude non-Muslims and push Sharia law, even though that they're saying that it's not. But they're saying exclusivity, then why are they calling it epic? You know what epic stands for? East Plano Islamic Center. Okay, you're in America. You're not gonna have, like, yeah, this is Abbott talking about the situation. Go ahead.

• 1:59:45Speaker 19

  In part by that statement, but also in part by information that we've gathered, there appear to be multiple violations that have taken place here. One is information's been provided to investors that appears to be misleading. Another is they appear to be in violation of fair housing laws. Also, we found that, you know, they talk about doing all this building, but they don't have any building permits to actually do any building, and they have challenges even getting those building permits. Believe this or not, we've even received information that they may have been conducting a funeral home without legal authority. Bottom line, Laura, is that there are so many questions arose, especially information

• 2:00:27Speaker 19

  that we received, that led us to need to call the elite Texas Rangers to conduct a criminal investigation to find out if criminal laws in Texas have been violated.

• 2:00:39Speaker 08

  Well, in part- And mind you, this is, you guys were paying attention too, like, they're, like, the Muslims in Texas and some in Florida are literally buying up churches and they're building mosques, okay? And then, by the way, with this type of situation, when somebody tries to question it, the left cries it's Islamophobia, and it's anything but that, okay? This is just a soft entry to plant cultural roots, and they're saying right now it's just housing, but that ends up with laws that don't match our constitution. Texas isn't a place for an experiment, you're not gonna do that type of stuff because it's gonna expand, and I'm telling you right now- With what we're seeing in Europe, okay, did you even see Ed Sheeran said something the other day where he's like, nowhere, he was with Theo Von, he goes, nowhere is safe in England.

• 2:01:22Speaker 08

  Name a city, he goes, nothing is safe, the crime is up, this, this migration has gotten out of control. And it's that type of attitude that's gonna come in there and it's gonna change it up. I'm, I'm, I'm not a fan of it.

• 2:01:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom Thoughts, we live in Plano, what do you think about this? Like, would, would this, would you send your kids to this company? Just give me your, like, the real thoughts about this place.

• 2:01:39Tom Ellsworth?

  My real thoughts about this place go like this. The word that comes to mind is predominantly, there are places, for instance, downtown LA, the diamond district and the little community around it, it's predominantly Jewish. But they don't have their own laws, it's our laws, and they have to, and they have to abide with the norms of society. You have Boise, Idaho, that, half of Boise, Idaho is predominantly Mormon. And they have all sorts of, they call their churches stakes, church and stakes is groups within it, all that going on. However, they comply completely with US laws. Now, this, they wanna build basically a consulate.

• 2:02:21Tom Ellsworth?

  A consulate is like, you have a building, you have an office, and you, you sound perfect and you do all these things to it. And it's basically this little, or embassy, right? And it's just your country. So you could have a US embassy in, you know, Ethiopia. And if you lose your passport, you gotta get to the US embassy because it's regarded as US soil when you walk inside. So, it appears that they're attempting to build a community with like embassy-type privileges. They're gonna have their own courts, their own schools and stuff. Sorry, we've, we saw what happened in England when radical clerics

• 2:02:58Tom Ellsworth?

  in iconoclastic communities radicalize young men, and we have the subway bombings, the Tube bombings, in, in, in England. No, you, we can't do that. So when they cross the line like that, and it's not merely a community that is predominantly this, predominantly that, I'll show you streets in Granada Hills that were predominantly Armenian. Couple generations come and go, come and go. Right, they, you know, the son buys a house down the street, mom and dad lived over here. It's predominant, but you are in the US, under US laws, and you're not stepping over lines. This concerns me, because they're, they want to build, by their own words,

• 2:03:37Tom Ellsworth?

  a city and a community with embassy-like privileges to run their own laws. And that concerns me a lot, especially when you take a look at what the real motives are in communities that we've seen in other countries. If you're peaceful, I, no one has any problem with that. Hey, there's, there's.

• 2:04:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but let me tell you, the slippery slope here is, we, our constitution says freedom of what?

• 2:04:05Adam Sosnick?

  Religion.

• 2:04:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so now, in China, they took it a step ahead of everybody else. I don't know if you saw what they did in China. They were knocking down mosques, weren't they? But did you know what they called it? No. Okay. Or mental something? Yeah, they, they did something with it.

• 2:04:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Did you see this, Brandon, or no?

• 2:04:28Speaker 11

  What's that, the girl that said you won't change taxes?

• 2:04:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I know that they, in, in China, there's certain countries that are saying, we don't even want that over here. This is a challenge, it's not gonna fit with our culture. If our constitution says freedom of religion, and Muslims, Islam, comes in, and they out-compete our other religions that we have, Catholicism, Christianity, add whatever you want, Presbyterian, take all of them, right? Jehovah's Seventh Day, you know, LDS Jews, put them all in there, right? If they out-recruit, out-grow, out-invest, what, how does the constitution prevent them from being able to do so? Tom?

• 2:05:12Tom Ellsworth?

  Our constitution would not prevent them from peacefully operating their own mosque.

• 2:05:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 2:05:18Tom Ellsworth?

  However, if we find out that you're basically operating like the Black Panthers, and you were training people for no good, uh, guess what? We step in and we say, sorry, that's not gonna happen here.

• 2:05:29Patrick Bet-David?

  You think they're capable of doing that? That song was very peaceful, it was calm, soothing.

• 2:05:33Tom Ellsworth?

  No, I think the example you can look at is Northern England. They had mosques and they built around communities and those mosques had radical clerics. Those clerics were training young men and we saw what they did. We have an example. We have a case study. We can see it. We can see how things go along. And it's kind of funny that Governor Abbott's worried about, oh, and they may have been illegally operating.

• 2:05:55Patrick Bet-David?

  The stuff he was talking about, none of that is like stuff that's long-term fixable. It's like they don't have a permit. They don't have this. I'm like, that's not even the issue.

• 2:06:03Tom Ellsworth?

  No, those are just little stumbling point. They were illegally operating a funeral home.

• 2:06:07Patrick Bet-David?

  But the reason why I'm saying this is, according to our constitution, if they have lawyers and the lawyers fight for freedom of religion, how do your lawyers defend your argument to say, no, you can't build? What if, what if all of a sudden?

• 2:06:22Tom Ellsworth?

  You can build a mosque and freely assemble, but you can't have your own laws in your state and you can't violate our laws.

• 2:06:29Patrick Bet-David?

  What if I buy 100,000 acres of land somewhere? And I build and I have multiple zip codes. Now it's a city and I'm able to grow it, I think about 5,000 because Frisco used to not be a city 30 years ago. 1994, they hit the number of 5,000.

• 2:06:45Tom Ellsworth?

  Correct.

• 2:06:45Patrick Bet-David?

  And then they grew from there. They became a city and now they're at a 212, 220,000, whatever it is.

• 2:06:50Tom Ellsworth?

  The top city in Texas.

• 2:06:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Top city in Texas, yeah. So what if they do that? Then what? Then what if they do that in 10 cities, 20 cities, 50 cities?

• 2:06:59Tom Ellsworth?

  Now you have a problem.

• 2:07:00Patrick Bet-David?

  But what I'm saying to you is, again, the same thing to me goes back to the lobbying law of, you know, Big Pharma and patents. The short-term thing is you can't charge this because it's cheaper with the fat medicine in Europe, right? I get that. But the tougher one is what? No, your patent laws cannot constantly extend to 40 years. Okay, so Brandon, I'm going to come to you as well on this one here. The first, the constitution about freedom of speech, how do you?

• 2:07:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Fight to say, listen, this is not gonna, you guys are doing too much stuff in America. We're seeing what's going on with Dearborn. We're not gonna let you do what you, to other cities, what you guys did to Dearborn. It's not gonna happen.

• 2:07:39Speaker 11

  Yeah, cuz a lot of the times they say, they actually say they wanna impose danger on us. But I think this reminds me of a lot, what the government started doing in the 90s, when it really started cracking down on militias and cults. Like, you remember Waco and Ruby Ridge? That's cuz they really hit a nerve with the government when groups started to get together and buy plots of land and like, hold weapons. It's, that really freaked the government out. So, I mean, this is kinda similar to that. You know, like, they did that under a religious tense, like, back, back then. So, I think that you could apply the same thing to this. And if they start talking about wanting to apply Sharia law, then that's a threat to free speech for some people. And then, you know, that, that's like, has a nature of being infectious and contagious. So, I think you could say that's a danger to people if they try to implement a fundamentally different law than we have.

• 2:08:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, thoughts?

• 2:08:20Adam Sosnick?

  So, I'm on, uh, team, uh, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom to do what you want in America. If you're part of the American, uh, dream, part of the American culture, part of the American civilization, actually love America. The problem I have is if, when people don't assimilate, they try to come in here and infiltrate, populate, and dominate. That's the biggest problem I have. If you wanna be a part of America, I don't care what religion you are, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Zoroastrian, be a part of America. We want you, we love you. We want people from all over the world to come in legally.

• 2:09:03Adam Sosnick?

  But if you come here and you wanna change what America stands for, and you want to basically criticize everything, the foundation of America, or be like Ilhan Omar and say the biggest problem with America is what, Vinny?

• 2:09:14Speaker 11

  White men.

• 2:09:15Adam Sosnick?

  White men.

• 2:09:16Speaker 11

  Extremists.

• 2:09:16Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, we're gonna have a massive problem here, okay? So, if you take case examples, which Tom likes to do, and you look at what's going on in Toronto, or London, or in Germany, or in Paris in France, or, uh, anywhere around the world, in Sydney, Australia, these don't look like people who absolutely love Western values, or the Judeo-Christian values that a lot of these countries were founded on. They don't seem to be like that. They're very Sharia law driven. Now, my only counterargument would be is, you know how I said this the other day, you know how in China, they'll allow us to have TikTok or they'll have Tencent? We can use all their companies. They can export all their products here, but we can't have any of our social media apps in China.

• 2:10:00Adam Sosnick?

  Facebook isn't in China. Instagram isn't in China. YouTube's not in China. Okay, so it works. It's not a two-way street. Same thing's going on in the Middle East and Islamic countries. They can set up shop here in America. You can set up shop in any country you want, but you're not letting churches and synagogues and prayer houses that are not Islamic come to your country, are they? I think the number is dwindling. So I'm all for people of all shapes, sizes, colors, creeds, religions coming to America if you love America. If not, peace out.

• 2:10:35Speaker 08

  I sent, there's two videos. We could play one of them. One is about the Dearborn, Michigan guy where there's a Muslim guy saying that this, and I quote, "This America empire must fall. People are willing to fight and put their lives on the line to bring these Western empires down." That's the first one. And then this is my, this is New York. This is New York and this is the attitude. This is in Times Square. Play this video.

• 2:10:56Speaker 03

  We're done hiding. We're done. We're done being tortured and hurt and judged. This is the correct religion. This is the religion that all of humanity needs to be a part of Islam. And we will not stop until it enters every home. So I want you to repeat after me. I want to hear it in every single district. It should tremble. Brooklyn should hear it. The Bronx should hear it. Queens should hear it. Say it as if the Allah depends on this, my brothers and sisters.

• 2:11:36Speaker 08

  So that's, that's.

• 2:11:38Patrick Bet-David?

  What was the other one with Dearborn?

• 2:11:39Speaker 08

  Oh, the other one's a Dearborn guy, Brandon.

• 2:11:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that as well, Brandon?

• 2:11:41Speaker 08

  Yep.

• 2:11:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep. You said that one in Slack.

• 2:11:44Speaker 08

  I actually, I texted it to you, but I could.

• 2:11:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, gotcha. I'll load it up in Slack. Yeah, you have it here as well. It's, it's a...

• 2:11:51Speaker 08

  Yeah, listen, and Adam, I'm all for religion, do your own thing, but that type of, that attitude, that type of shit, and that's why the difference between us and Europe is, guess what? The Second Amendment. We're not playing that shit. You're not taking over anything in this friggin' country, I'm sorry. I don't like that shit at all. You're calling for, you're calling for, like, a problem, and guess what? This is the wrong place to have that, that attitude. This is it right here.

• 2:12:17Adam Sosnick?

  Texas?

• 2:12:18Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 2:12:18Adam Sosnick?

  And, and Florida, they're buying...

• 2:12:20Speaker 20

  More of the message for the people of Gaza is going to be more of the message that should be sent to the people here. Um, in that they have achieved victory, we haven't done anywhere near enough. And the people here, I promise you, we do feel ashamed. We do feel like we're not doing enough. We do feel like change needs to come, because change must come. And in the form that it must come is that this empire, the American empire, that's been hurting our people since the beginning. The imperial western powers have been hurting our people since the beginning. They must fall. And Inshallah, Inshallah, they will fall. And my message to the people of Gaza and the oppressed peoples across the world is that there are people here, both young and old, who are going to be willing to fight and are willing to put their lives and everything they can on the line to bring these empires down, because they must come down.

• 2:13:05Speaker 08

  He's in America saying, "America must fall." You are a threat, bro. That right there, that attitude, and like you said it, don't be here then. Go somewhere else and pick up a gun and try to fight us. If that's the attitude, that's... By the way, this isn't just a little hiccup, okay? That is happening a lot. And if you're buying up churches in Texas, in Florida too, bro, and the attitude is that, I have a huge problem with that.

• 2:13:33Adam Sosnick?

  Foreign and?

• 2:13:34Speaker 08

  Domestic.

• 2:13:35Adam Sosnick?

  Thank you.

• 2:13:35Speaker 08

  No damn right.

• 2:13:36Adam Sosnick?

  This is, this is taking our kindness, uh, for weakness. You know, you go and try to have Freedom Assembly or criticize the government in any Islamic country like that, uh, heads are gonna roll. You know, what's the story? I don't know if we have time to get to it, but, um, the rapper in, uh, in Iran?

• 2:13:57Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 2:13:57Adam Sosnick?

  Who was sentenced to death?

• 2:13:58Speaker 08

  Yep.

• 2:13:59Adam Sosnick?

  For criticizing the government?

• 2:14:00Speaker 08

  What's that story? I didn't even hear it.

• 2:14:01Adam Sosnick?

  You have that story? So there's a rapper in Iran.

• 2:14:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Sentenced to death after being accused of blasphemy by Iranian court, if you want to read it. Page number nine.

• 2:14:12Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, page number nine. Here you go. A rapper sentenced to death after being accused of blasphemy by Iranian court. The Iranian court sentenced pop artist Amir Hossain Maghdulou. Pat, if you want to help me with that last name.

• 2:14:26Patrick Bet-David?

  You're fine.

• 2:14:26Adam Sosnick?

  Good job. Known as Tat- Tatolu, to death for blasphemy after the Supreme Court overturned his previous five-year jail term. With local outlet El Ahmad reporting that the case was reopened. At this time, the defendant was sentenced to death for insulting the prophet, though the verdict is not final and can be appealed. Tatolu, who fled to Istanbul in 2018, was then extradited by Iran by Turkish police in December 2023, also received a 10-year sentence for promoting prostitution and faced charges of spreading propaganda, quote unquote, against the Islamic Republic, publishing obscene content, having previously collaborated with the Universal Music Group in 2021 as the first Iranian artist to do so.

• 2:15:09Adam Sosnick?

  So, and Pat, I obviously want to turn this over to you. In America, you could openly call for the destruction of your civilization and nothing happens to you. In fact, you're treated as a hero to many people on the left or the far right. Whereas a Iranian citizen, and believe me, I wish this was the only story, because we've seen multiple stories like this, dozens of stories, hundreds of stories, of political dissidents no longer living. So, Pat, this cognitive dissonance, what do you think?

• 2:15:40Patrick Bet-David?

  It's crazy that we have this story here because, Brandon, I'm going to send this to you if you can pull it up while you're pulling it up. I'm just going to share a couple of thoughts. This morning, while I'm driving here, I'm monacting a few people. A guy named Nader monests me. Him and I have been going back and forth about this story. This rapper Amir Tatalu that they're doing this to that they want to kill this guy. Right. Just this morning, literally four hours ago, five hours ago, Iran court overturns verdict in controversial case of singer Amir. The verdict against Iranian singer Amir Hussain Maxud, widely known as Amir Tatalu, has been overturned following the acceptance of a request under the Article 477 Iran's Criminal Procedure Code. His lawyer confirmed according to the defense attorney Majid, the judiciary accepted a procedural review,

• 2:16:25Patrick Bet-David?

  effectively nullifying the previous ruling. While officials, the details remain limited, the development comes after weeks of public attention, the morning mounting online campaigns demanding of reconsideration of the case. He was previously sentenced to death on charges of insulting the prophet, a serious offense under Iranian law. His case has been under review by Iran's Supreme Court. Efforts to secure his release on bail have been so far unsuccessful and parts of the legal rulings against him remain contested. Despite reports suggesting repentance and remorse from Tatalu's court proceedings, the legal process continues. A high profile online petition seeking overturn his death sentence was taken offline by Iran's Committee for Determining Offensive Content,

• 2:17:07Patrick Bet-David?

  despite being among the most signed campaigns on the Karzah platform. So here's the deal with this. They're doing this, whether it's from the noise that the people made, which is congratulations to the Iranian people, or because they just want to seem like they are, you know, kind and forgiving. And that's kind of what they're doing. The regime that runs Iran, Khamenei, all the folks that came from Khamenei, all of these guys in Iran, they destroyed a once great nation, period. You can say whatever you want to say, they destroyed a once great nation. Full on once great nation they destroyed. I watched this clip this morning, you know, I've been shown the Iran before and after. Yeah.

• 2:17:51Patrick Bet-David?

  This is Iran's entertainment before on how they're doing it today versus what the entertainment on Iran used to be before, pre 1979. Brandon, I text you a video I want you to play. Okay. The people of Iran. are unbelievable. Some of our things like the habits that we have. You come, you go to have dinner with an Iranian person, you have to eat some food or else they'll offend you. Everything they do, they want to give you a gift. No, let me give you a gift. Go to dinner with them and try to see who's gonna pay for the bill. God forbid, if somebody doesn't try to pay for the bill, they're not Iranian. They're Americanized, right? They say, no, let me pay for it. No, let me pay for it. No, let me pay for it. No, let me pay for it, right? It's constant. Watch this video. Pre-79, what it is today versus what it was before. Can you please zoom in, Brandon? You should be able to do with control. Okay.

• 2:18:36Patrick Bet-David?

  So, refresh it so we can watch it from the beginning and let's hear the audio.

• 2:18:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, we can't hear. We have to.

• 2:18:45Patrick Bet-David?

  This is today.

• 2:18:49Patrick Bet-David?

  This is the.

• 2:18:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Beautiful.

• 2:19:00Patrick Bet-David?

  It's like Sean Connery.

• 2:19:15Patrick Bet-David?

  I want to hear them.

• 2:19:22Patrick Bet-David?

  What are they singing? What are they saying? I don't know what it is. It's their American Idol version. But the, the, the point about these types of stories, and that guy right there was Fayed Dun Farazad, who was a very, not this guy, the guy that was singing with the girl. Singer, the Sean Connery. Very, very well known. He was like the, he was the Johnny Carson of Iran is who he was. They, eventually after the revolution, they found him at a German hotel. They cut him in pieces and they put his dangling in his mouth. The guy with the mustache? That guy right there, they killed him. The Sean Connery looking guy? If you go read his story, the, the story of what they did to him is absolutely an atrocity. That's the new regime. That's what's capable of happening in Iran. And this is why. You know, for them to get what they want, they need one leader, man. They need one person to get behind that's willing to fight the fight.

• 2:20:07Patrick Bet-David?

  And they got every year, you know, what month, what month is it? Is it February, February, March, April, May? You got officially 44 months left. That's what you got left. You got 44 more months left to succeed before what happens next. And you cannot rely on assuming the next president's going to be somebody that's going to help you on. Went from a beautiful place that everybody used to go to. The other day I reacted to the Frank Sinatra singing the song.

• 2:20:30Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, incredible.

• 2:20:32Patrick Bet-David?

  And to now a different story. Great people, I hope they'll be free again so I can come to Iran and visit the place. I can't wait for that day, that can you imagine the day we go and we do the podcast out of Iran?

• 2:20:43Adam Sosnick?

  Oh.

• 2:20:43Patrick Bet-David?

  And we sell tickets, Tehran, Iran, we're doing a podcast. Tom is there worried what's gonna happen?

• 2:20:48Adam Sosnick?

  Until that day, PPD, there's no traveling to Iran. By the way, just to validate everything you're saying, because I learned a lot of this when I joined you in 2020. I didn't really fully understand what Iran was prior to the 79 revolution. Uh, now there's zero tolerance for political dissidents. It's, it's viewed as treasonous. You're enemies of the state. Do you know the number one country in the world that, uh, punishment? If you say anything about the ruler, number one, North Korea. Do you know who number two is?

• 2:21:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course.

• 2:21:16Adam Sosnick?

  Iran. And then you have Saudi, China, Qatar, our friends in Qatar, uh, Belarus, Russia, Turkey, uh, in that order. But Iran, the number two country in the world where you cannot say anything.

• 2:21:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow.

• 2:21:30Adam Sosnick?

  About the government.

• 2:21:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Listen, another great day of podcasts. Folks, I want to show you a trailer of a podcast that's going out tomorrow. I had Kurt, uh, uh, here, who was a 9/11 whistleblower. Do you know this congressman?

• 2:21:43Adam Sosnick?

  I love that guy.

• 2:21:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Wait till you hear this trailer. For the first time ever, there was three of them here, okay? Who worked on the inside. One of them was a lieutenant colonel who worked for the CIA.

• 2:21:56Adam Sosnick?

  During 9/11?

• 2:21:57Patrick Bet-David?

  And he was one of the guys that was called for the hearing on the 9/11 commission. The last minute they canceled, they said, we don't want to hear from him. Where guess who questioned them while he's giving him credit to Kurt Walden? He's saying, uh, I, I thought I was under the impression that we're going to be talking to the five folks. I don't know what happened. Why are they not, why were we not able to ask him questions? Joe Biden. Is saying, "Why can't I talk to Anthony Schaefer?" Tony Schaefer was here. What? And another gentleman who was a major in the army, Eric, giving his insight. He was in one that had the 2.5 terabytes of all the information they had gathered that the US government told them to destroy the 2.5 terabytes. They were all here talking about 9/11. Very interesting. I want you to watch his trailer. This goes live tomorrow, 9:00 AM, 1st thing in the morning. Go ahead, Brandon.

• 2:22:40Patrick Bet-David?

  The biggest event that cost the most American lives ever. Why do we only spend $15 million to investigate that?

• 2:22:47Speaker 21

  The whole thing is a cover-up. And that's why I'm here.

• 2:22:55Speaker 21

  And I know the game. You know, they have needles they insert in people that give them fast-moving cancer. You can do that to me. But it's not gonna... No, I'm not. Come on. I've had two staffers that both worked for the CIA. One was threatened. I was working with him when he died. But that's not right in America.

• 2:23:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, you know, it's interesting you say that because I had such a good conversation with him. I said, "Do you mind coming back a month later?" Months later, Rob tells me he passed away. He reported to him.

• 2:23:19Speaker 18

  When I came back from Afghanistan, Get out of here. I want to talk about able-bodied. I was immediately suspended. And so what I'm going to tell you now is what I told them.

• 2:23:28Speaker 21

  Two of the terrorists on 9/11 were on the payroll of the CIA at the time. Now, look, I'm not accusing anybody. All I'm telling you is, stop this bull... This is America. Let the people know the truth.

• 2:23:41Patrick Bet-David?

  He was in the middle of all of this.

• 2:23:43Speaker 21

  All I can tell you is, one of the first calls at my home that night was from Joe Biden.

• 2:23:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Unbelievable.

• 2:23:48Speaker 21

  And he said, "Kurt, I'm sorry what they did to you."

• 2:23:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Wow. Holy shit. Tomorrow. Tomorrow, 9? 9. Oh, I'm watching. And by the way, the one person that you're gonna be shocked with on how he talks about him is Joe Biden because his kids went to school together and they grew up one mile apart. And he's a full-on Republican. Oh, wow. You have to see... Okay. Yeah, it's a very... Like, I can't wait to see it. And I did the interview. You were there? It was phenomenal. All right, tomorrow, 9:00 AM, gang. Everybody, appreciate you guys, love you guys, take care, God bless. Bye-bye.
