Spencer Pratt SURGES + Iran CLOSES Hormuz

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Adam Sosnick, and Vincent Oshana break down why artists are abandoning Trump’s America 250 celebration, how Spencer Pratt became one of the biggest stories in the Los Angeles mayoral race, the fight to replace Gavin Newsom in California, Jill Biden’s response to questions about Joe Biden’s health, and the political battles shaping America’s future. ------ 👞 THE NEW FLB 1'S: https://bit.ly/4mXV9gd Ⓜ️ CONNECT ON MINNECT: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4kSVkso ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://bit.ly/4kSVkso Ⓜ️ PBD PODCAST CIRCLES: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4mAWQAP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://bit.ly/4mAWQAP 👔 BET-DAVID CONSULTING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4lzQph2 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://bit.ly/4lzQph2 🥃 BOARDROOM CIGAR LOUNGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/4pzLEXj⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://bit.ly/4pzLEXj 🇰 KALSHI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://kalshi.com/pbd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ http://kalshi.com/pbd⁠

  My handshake is better than anything I ever signed, right here. You are a one of one? My son's right there. I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:26Patrick Bet-David?

  So it's rough when you come in Monday morning and you're talking to everybody about what stories to do. And the only thing Tom wants to talk about for 30 minutes is Drake, 50 Cent, Diddy. He wants to talk about the video analysis on the video. I'm like, Tom, I don't think people care about the video. Let it go. He's like, no, you have to understand, it's a very important video. 30 minutes, the audience is not... The entire economy is tied to it. Oil prices went up a few percent because of that video. He's making the correlation. I'm like, Tom, this is not what the audience wants to hear. He's like top five, dead or alive. He's like challenging. We're not gonna do that. We're not gonna do that.

• 0:58Tom Ellsworth?

  I thought we were worried about the birth rate in America.

• 1:00Patrick Bet-David?

  No, because then the next thing is like the manhole. Manhole in New York. I'm like, what does the Diddy and 50 Cent story have to do with the manhole? Yeah. But apparently there's a manhole that's circle, not triangle, not a square, because you know, triangle and square, they fall through. Yes. Right? And circle is the only thing. And so the manholes in New York, you know, apparently it's a big deal. People are going all the way down, coming up. It's almost like the movie that just came out, that the 20-year-old director did it. And apparently did 120 million back rooms where 630 million square miles of space in the back rooms that you guys, you and Tico went and watched it yesterday. Crazy. But anyways, those are not the top stories, folks. It's just what Tom was interested in this morning.

• 1:44Patrick Bet-David?

  But we are gonna talk about Spencer Pratt because tomorrow, Rob, is it tomorrow or is it today? Yeah, tomorrow. Tomorrow is it? Tomorrow morning, Tuesday. Tuesday. It's Spencer Pratt. It looks like he's gonna be a top two advancing LA. Very important for him to advance. Then the concert, 250 year anniversary concert that Milli Vanilli was gonna be performing at. Blame it on the rain. I mean, can you imagine all of those songs? Blame it on the rain. What's the other one? What's the other one? Blame it on the rain is one of them.

• 2:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Milli Vanilli. Blame it on the rain was the song. What was the second one?

• 2:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Girl, you know it's true. Yeah, that's it. That's the one. Ooh, ooh, ooh. I love you. I love you. I love you too, man. The fact that I know is embarrassing, but let me tell you, I love this song in Germany. It played. Anyways, concert's getting canceled. They're gonna do something else for 250. Lots of things to talk about there. Then a New York Times story comes out, which Vinny is very interested in this story. Where Bill Gates, for years, hired people to dress like Mr. Rogers. Is this really a real? This is, is this a true story? Yes. He paid money to consultants to teach him how to dress like Mr. Rogers? They had mannequins to dress up to be like, yeah, I don't look like an evil, crazy person. That's a crazy story. That's a crazy story. Well. That's a crazy story. Oh, yeah.

• 3:07Patrick Bet-David?

  And then we got Google. Google wants to release a bunch of mosquitoes and it's kinda weird because it's going with the story of explosion of ticks. And these ticks apparently have viruses that are making people allergic to red meat. Yep. Very weird stories that's going on there with the mosquitoes. So, not that the Google mosquitoes have to do with that, but people are making a correlation. Maybe we'll talk about that story as well. 780 people arrested in France after celebrating PSG winning. And then Dominic Targinsky, you're showing the video about how they celebrate when they won in Poland. They're all going crazy celebrating. No rapes, no arrests, no nothing. Everybody went home and... And they clean up after them.

• 3:49Patrick Bet-David?

  And if you see what France was looking like, it was absolutely insane.

• 3:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Then for some of you guys that love heights, there was a group of people that were stuck on this roller coaster. I mean, this is going to give you a lot of weird feelings when you watch this. Literally, they're stuck at the top of the roller coaster, at the top, 105 feet up, and these firefighters have to come and take them off and walk all the way down. The visual, just the thought, if you got vertigo, if you love heights, can you just imagine walking all the way down from this roller coaster ride? Somebody comes up and says, we're gonna help you get off. Yeah, right, you're gonna help me get off. But anyways, we'll show you the clips on this, pretty wild. And then there's a couple of other stories. One of them is New York wants to come out, this is Hokel, that to put tracking devices in there. Rob, is that the one to put tracking device? Yes, sir.

• 4:40Patrick Bet-David?

  In there, if you have over 16 speeding tickets, they want to track you to see, to make sure you don't do this more often. And then AI data centers, a CEO comes out, Cerebra CEO comes out saying, AI has an industry has done a terrible job of selling data centers. We ought to pay our own way. So he's saying we ought to do a better job selling that. And then we got a couple of other stories. Of course, we have to talk about what's going on with Iran as well with the reason, you know, there's a rumor that Pezeshkian, the president, resigned that was going viral. Now they're saying, we don't know if it's true or not. You know, it's opposition news that released that, but he needs the supreme leader to sign off. And they don't want to do that because Pezeshkian,

• 5:20Patrick Bet-David?

  who is fairly, you know, a fair minded guy that wants to negotiate IRGC, has taken over Iran and there's nothing that we can do. Who knows? We may get some time to get into that story as well. With that being said, before we get started, it was yesterday, we had people over at the house and I'm walking around and Tom is asking me about the different shoes. So I wore the white, the brown and the black this weekend. Okay, all weekend I wore the white, the brown and the black. The white was for Seno's birthday. The brown I wore at the office on Friday and the black I wore yesterday, right? Every single day, except for now, I think it's 12 days since September 9th of 2025, I have worn these Future Looks Bright shoes.

• 6:05Patrick Bet-David?

  They're the most comfortable shoes I have with the on cloud, the what do you call it? The super foam technology on the bottom. And then made in Tuscany, made in Italy. Rob, if you want to play this clip, folks, with fathers being around the corner. If you haven't yet picked up yourself a Future Looks Bright shoe for yourself, maybe pick it up for your father or somebody that you love. Go ahead and play the clip, Rob. When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort, function, and luxury. We had the choice to make it fast. We had the choice to make it cheap. We chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscany Italy. We chose true Italian craftsmanship. Each pair touched by 50 skilled painters. We chose patience, spending two years perfecting

• 6:48Patrick Bet-David?

  every detail, and we chose the finest quality at every step. Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection. Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary, rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.

• 7:09Patrick Bet-David?

  There you go. Go to VTmerch.com, place your order. Again, go to VTmerch.com, place your order with the latest FLB shoes. Some sizes are not available, 14 is still not in, but go check to make sure the size is in because they sell out fairly quickly once they come in. All right, with that being said, let's get right into a top story. Tomorrow, LA mayoral race. Is there any chance that Spencer Pratt will go on into the November election? Now, here's the thing. Everybody wanted top two. The liberals in California, the progressives wanted top two to be on the left. This is what's going on with the race right now. If you look at the numbers, Bass is still in the lead. This is, I don't know which poll this is, Rob, because there's some later polls. That's as of the 24th. There's some polls that have come out the last couple of days because today's the June

• 7:53Patrick Bet-David?

  1st, tomorrow's June 2nd. But if you go based on this, the latest poll, it's Bass, Ramon, the progressive socialist that wants to blame cars for people stealing parts from a car, which is very weird, but Pratt's making some momentum. Rob, if you want to play this clip.

• 8:08Speaker 03

  The race is now a toss-up between incumbent Democrat Karen Bass, progressive upstart Nithya Ramon, and Spencer Pratt. Fox News contributor Mary Catherine Hamm is here. So, Pratt was in the building yesterday, and then he did Fox and Friends, and he did Martha show Hill Beyond.

• 8:23Patrick Bet-David?

  You can stop this one here because we'll do our commentary. But I, so the numbers, you see the numbers where it's at. Spencer Pratt rejects Trump's backing in LA mayoral race, and while Jimmy Kimmel criticizes Spencer Pratt's LA mayoral race. Rob, if you want to play this clip, this is the one about Trump. Go for it.

• 8:41Speaker 04

  endorsement?

• 8:41Speaker 05

  I don't need anyone's endorsement but mothers. That's who's getting me elected. People keep forgetting it's Democratic moms that do not feel safe that are putting me in office in five days.

• 8:51Speaker 04

  Can you explain to me something because you don't you're not afraid of anything. You're not afraid of giving your opinion on anything, but you won't give me an opinion on President Trump. And I get it that his endorsement, his blessing may may not be good for you, likely isn't good for you in LA.

• 9:04Speaker 05

  That's your opinion.

• 9:04Speaker 04

  But if you're fearless, but if you're fearless, what do you what do you think of President Trump? You're Republican, right?

• 9:08Speaker 05

  Again, this is this right here where you're doing.

• 9:11Speaker 04

  I'm just asking.

• 9:12Speaker 05

  I'm telling you, this conversation is what's destroyed local elections.

• 9:16Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 9:17Speaker 05

  People don't care in LA. They want to feel safe. They don't want to step in human poop. I don't need to have personal opinions about anybody that doesn't affect them stepping in human poop. It's not being scared. I'm just not falling in for this tribal politics back and forth. It's local election. I'm not running for president. So it doesn't matter my opinion on any president.

• 9:38Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think about his answer, Vin?

• 9:39Speaker 06

  I absolutely love it because because look at what the freaking fake horrible media is trying to do. They're trying to get you in that got you moment. Because apparently people in California want Karen Bass. They they they're Stockholm syndrome in full effect. I don't understand like what you think Spencer Pratt is doing this because he needs the money? No, he's personally been affected, Pat. And like, I don't understand. I had this conversation with my cousin yesterday who lives in California. Karen Bass is leading? Like, what what has she done that makes somebody go, you know what? I'm gonna go with her. If it's just identity politics, if it's just because she's a strong black woman, give me a freaking break, okay?

• 10:19Speaker 06

  She was in Ghana during the freaking fires and knowingly, apparently, allegedly with that leaked audio that came out, okay? Failed at homelessness, failed at taxes. She is a failed mayor and the fact that she is still leading. The only thing is identity politics or people just love abuse. You have fallen in love with your abusers, California, and you don't want to change it. Period. That's why you vote for people like that and you keep voting for people like Gavin Newsom. You guys need change, not Barack Obama change, real, actual change. And I honestly, Pat, I don't know him personally. I think this guy, what do you guys have to lose? You could only go up from here. I think Spencer Pratt is is their decision. Period. Go for it.

• 10:59Tom Ellsworth?

  I think there's a couple of things that are showing up. First of all, I agree with that. It's not just Stockholm syndrome. It's habitual. It's the old elections in America. And this was before you were born, Vinny, before I was born. You would walk into a voting booth and pull the little curtain around and there was a, you could just pull the lever and that was set up that you could pull the party lever, just vote Democrat. And so that was put in there by the party machines. Chicago loved it because, didn't matter. The voter was just voting on the party. Hey, trust me, all of our guys are good. And that's just terrible. And what you're saying is correct. What's going on in the numbers, Pat? It doesn't look like Rahm, Rahm has been fading. She's been fading

• 11:44Tom Ellsworth?

  on Kalshi. There's a Kalshi on this. It's got her at 13 points. And there's also the Public Sentiment Institute, which is, just did their, the Public Sentiment Institute, I give it to you, Rob, in the, in the text, and they were out on X. They are the most recent poll. They were Friday afternoon. And they've got Bass at 40, Pratt at 21, Rahm at 12, and you see Kalshi at 62, 26, 13. But there's a lot, I think there's a lot of Democrat money in, on the Kalshi side, which I think Kalshi's ultimately, as we come to November, it's going to come to the point of accuracy, because these prediction markets usually do. But right now, there's been a lot of push. But I think it's, it's

• 12:26Tom Ellsworth?

  going to be Bass and Pratt. Bass is not going to get the 50.1 she needs. Remember, if Karen Bass gets 50.1 tomorrow, Pat, this is over. We're done. There's no November election.

• 12:38Patrick Bet-David?

  So meaning if Rahm gets out of it, it isn't over. It's done.

• 12:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah. Well, Rahm can't get out now, because tomorrow's the election, June 2. So tomorrow, if Bass got...

• 12:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Even today, if she wanted to get out, she couldn't get out.

• 12:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, she, she would have to go everywhere today screaming, "Don't vote for me, vote for Karen Bass." And somehow, she would have to get that message all the way around.

• 12:59Patrick Bet-David?

  It's too late for that. Okay.

• 13:00Tom Ellsworth?

  So Bass is...

• 13:01Patrick Bet-David?

  So then that means, that means the campaign manager for Pratt is Rahm. Indirectly, ramming campaigns for Spencer Pratt.

• 13:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep, and now the question is, right here, Public Summit Institute is pointing out, where do Miller and Huang go? There's 15 points that are out there, and there's 12 points that are undecided. This summer is gonna come down to Bass and Pratt and Los Angelinos deciding who they want.

• 13:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, let me tell you what Spencer Pratt's endorsements are, and then Adam, I'll come to you.

• 13:30Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep.

• 13:31Patrick Bet-David?

  You got Rogan, Corolla, Dennis Quaid, Paris Hilton allegedly backed him on April 24th, promoted Spencer for mayor, James Woods, Billy Bush, Meghan McCain, you got Christine Cavallari, you got Brody Jenner, you got Amber Rose, but then there's a part of it that's Jamie Kennedy, and then he said in an interview that Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx, he claimed in an interview with US Weekly that actor DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx privately expressed support for his campaign during that interview with US Weekly. So whether he's telling the truth or not, and Jimmy Kimmel came out and criticized him. Rob, I don't know if you have this clip with Kimmel.

• 14:13Patrick Bet-David?

  There's a clip of Kimmel criticizing Spencer Pratt. Go for it.

• 14:17Speaker 04

  This city is a mess. That is something that became especially obvious during the fires, but the people running the city, when you say this place is a mess, they go, no, actually it isn't. We're doing a lot. And then we look around and go, I'm not seeing it. And then they go, oh, it's there. Things are looking up. And this makes the people who live here upset, especially people whose homes and neighborhoods burned down and are trying to run businesses with people who need help sleeping in front of the door of their restaurants because they have nowhere else to go. They're frustrated because nothing seems to change. So then you get a guy who was on a reality show, who's on a lot of reality shows. His profession is to be the screaming jerk on reality shows, and his house burns down. And even though he had no private insurance on his house and doesn't believe in climate

• 15:01Speaker 04

  change, he is understandably upset about his house burning down. And since he's a moderately famous person, he gets attention. He's on the news, he's on social media, and for the first time in his life, people are agreeing with what he has to say.

• 15:14Patrick Bet-David?

  This is skillful undermining.

• 15:15Speaker 04

  With what he has to say. He's angry about the same problems a lot of people here are angry about. Does he have solutions to those problems? No. And yet, he's polling in second place! And if he's one of the top two candidates after the primary next Tuesday, a week from tonight, he will be one of our two choices for mayor of Los Angeles.

• 15:34Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what's funny about him? Corolla just got his, uh, what do you call it? Star. Star, right? And he gets up there and he gives a speech. He says, even though we disagree politically, I am so happy for Adam Corolla. Because if you notice, Corolla endorsed for Spencer Pratt. He did not. So it's an interesting speech he's given here. Just first 10 seconds, we'll tell you, Rob. Go ahead.

• 15:57Speaker 04

  Adam and I, as you probably know, don't agree much when it comes to politics, but I love him dearly. I've never worked with anyone funnier. I, I am proud of him.

• 16:07Patrick Bet-David?

  You can possibly.

• 16:07Speaker 06

  Pat, you know what's crazy?

• 16:08Patrick Bet-David?

  What?

• 16:09Speaker 06

  Like that, his head writer on that show, it's supposed to be Comic Comedy, like, is his wife. Whatever you're hearing, his head writer is his wife. That's, he's the type of guy that when the wife's talking, his head is just down.

• 16:20Patrick Bet-David?

  But wait, what he just did.

• 16:22Speaker 06

  His wife is 100% writing his stuff. That she's the head writer of this show. And notice the audience is just like, there's no emotion, there's no nothing. Who, it feels like he's just under a spell, Pat. I'd rather be stuck on that freaking roller coaster upside down than listen to that.

• 16:37Patrick Bet-David?

  No.

• 16:38Tom Ellsworth?

  No, I'll give you that.

• 16:39Speaker 06

  And you know me, I have vertigo.

• 16:40Tom Ellsworth?

  I'll give you that, but that looked kind of authentic.

• 16:42Speaker 06

  No, no, not, not.

• 16:43Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm thinking about his friend's story.

• 16:44Speaker 06

  No, I'm talking about that. I'm talking about his monologue.

• 16:46Tom Ellsworth?

  I get it. I said, I'll give you that.

• 16:48Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 16:48Tom Ellsworth?

  I'll give you that on his show and all the, what I, the trash that comes out of his mouth on his show.

• 16:54Speaker 06

  Well, that's what, that's authentic because that's his friend. She's not writing that. She's not the head writer of his life.

• 16:58Speaker 04

  Well, if Jimmy Kimmel wanted to get ratings, you know what he should do?

• 17:01Patrick Bet-David?

  What?

• 17:02Speaker 04

  Have Spencer Pratt on the show, buddy. Spencer Pratt's making his rounds. He was just on Bill Maher, he was on Gutfeld. I know you guys have been discussing things. Uh, Trump kind of weighed in on the election. And what did Spencer Pratt say? I'm good. I don't need an endorsement.

• 17:16Speaker 06

  Good.

• 17:17Speaker 04

  Now, why would you say something like that? Because if this were more of a national election, of course you want Trump's endorsement. But this is a local election. But this election has taken shape of a, is a different monster because we're talking about this guy as the lead story on the show. So I think in essence, anyone that's solving for common sense and wants some change in LA would want Pratt. Here's my opinion. I think there's going to be a runoff between Bass and Pratt. And I think. Pratt is going to win. That's my opinion. What would it go, what's it gonna look like if Karen Baz gets into a runoff with the ramen noodle lady? So you're just gonna have a socialist progressive, basically debating a Marxist communist. Let me know how that's gonna work out for you guys, LA.

• 18:02Speaker 04

  That's what we're looking for, because Karen Baz basically is basically doing the whole, nothing to see here, everything's fine. Let's just keep it going, keep the good times rolling. Ramen is basically like, I'm a communist, let's burn it all down and start over. Whereas Pratt is basically anti-establishment, which would be common sense in LA at this point. And she says, we just need some new, level-headed, common sense experience. And then here's the final point. Do you know who's voting for Pratt if he wins? If Pratt wins, you know who's gonna vote for him? All the Democrats.

• 18:35Speaker 04

  Women Democrats, mother Democrats. He says he doesn't even know a Republican in LA. He said that, his words. He said his sister is the most progressive Democrat he knows, and she's voting for him, obviously. So all his friends, all Hollywood, all the Hollywood elite reality stars, Democrats were basically saying, let's vote for Pratt, and I hope they do.

• 21:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Here's the part, guys. If you're from LA and you want things to change, you want to contribute towards the change, get out there and vote. And not only that, get your friends to go out there and vote as well. Get your family, get everybody to go out there and vote. This is where you can actually make an impact locally, locally. If you want to see change, go support and contribute to what Spencer Pratt is doing in LA. It would be an incredible, incredible story going into 2028. You know what would happen after 2026 if Pratt wins LA mayoral race? You know what would happen? The cover of Time Magazine will have Mayor of LA Pratt going against Mayor of New York City, Bam Dadi. Oh, yeah.

• 22:06Patrick Bet-David?

  It'll be, it'll be an incredible spectacle of what can, who can clean up the streets better? Who can make which street better? Trust me as a case study, we all want to, we all want to see this thing here. Two hardcore liberal cities that one side goes the Mondani side, the other side goes the Spencer Pratt side. It'd be a great case study for everybody to watch nationwide. With that being said, let me get into the next story. The next story is kind of weird. It's a story about Pezeshkian, who is the president of Iran, comes out and says, "I'm resigning." And so we saw this all over the place, that he is resigning. Iran's president

• 22:45Patrick Bet-David?

  offers resignation citing total takeover by IRGC commanders, which is kind of weird. So then when you're reading this story, Rob, I think you may have a clip on this. When you're reading this story, you see some people coming out and saying, "No, no, no, it's not true. He never send it." And I think even he sends out a tweet, Rob, if I'm not mistaken, is this him?

• 23:06Tom Ellsworth?

  It's a video clip that the Iranian state media is saying is the denial that he's resigning.

• 23:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead.

• 23:14Speaker 04

  We are ready for any hardship. We are ready to sacrifice our lives, our existence for this revolution and the people of our country.

• 23:21Patrick Bet-David?

  This is him.

• 23:22Speaker 04

  But in any case, this is something we must all help each other with and walk this path together. We must prepare ourselves for this. And our dear people must also be aware of this matter and help out.

• 23:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, this is...

• 23:34Speaker 04

  And this is what I expect from the national broadcaster as well.

• 23:37Tom Ellsworth?

  So this came out last night, and this is what the Iranian state media is claiming is his denial. I listened to the clip. He doesn't say it anywhere in here.

• 23:45Patrick Bet-David?

  I didn't see the denial.

• 23:46Tom Ellsworth?

  But this is what they're stating.

• 23:47Patrick Bet-David?

  They're saying that this is his denial. No, I'm not going to put this as a denial. I'll read this to you. You know, this article here from the Iran International says that he submitted his letter of resignation. In the letter sent on Sunday, Pezeshkian stressed the fact that the president and the government have effectively been excluded from major and vital decision-making process in the country, and that the vacuum created by the situation has enabled hard line of factions within the IRGC to take control of affairs. Pezeshkian added that under such circumstances, he is unable to run the government and carry out his legal responsibilities, and he requested to be out immediately. It is not yet clear whether Khamenei will accept the resignation, but the contents of the letter point to a deep and unprecedented rift at the highest level.

• 24:29Patrick Bet-David?

  levels of power so if this is true if I have I have some thoughts on this myself on how this can end up Tom if this is true what does this really mean if it is true

• 24:41Tom Ellsworth?

  well when we all saw the headline I immediately I had no reaction I was like well of course the hardliners and IRGC are really calling the shots and you know Trump and the world had been saying it's hard to negotiate because the government was split we had heard all that right Pep I mean that's what we heard everything so when I first heard this it seemed like wow so as legitimate government off to the side finally just thrown in the towel and said I resign so it seemed normal not normal but it seemed like oh okay very believable however if this is true and this is what's going on and the IRGC and the hardliners are

• 25:24Tom Ellsworth?

  really in charge then I think this is kind of worse than where it started because for the people that have been protesting

• 25:34Tom Ellsworth?

  this is bad because it means if IRGC is in the point of ultimate power Pat I think this is really bad for them the markets aren't liking what came in this morning oil popped

• 25:46Patrick Bet-David?

  but I think this is a reaction to Lebanon Israel I don't think that's the reaction to Pezeshkian I think that's the which we'll get into that here momentarily as well I think the main reaction to this what the market is saying is due to the attacks that are taking place between Lebanon and Israel no

• 26:01Tom Ellsworth?

  well I think it's I think it's both the because I think Lebanon Israel is the second front that Israel is fighting right Israel and is is with us and we are fighting here but it's a second front I I see it as the same conflict

• 26:17Patrick Bet-David?

  yeah so so then the question be Adam your thoughts on this

• 26:21Tom Ellsworth?

  yeah I'm gonna reverse course here I don't want to deal with Iran they're never gonna honor any deal

• 26:30Speaker 04

  Did you hear what the gay ayatollah, whatever you want to call this guy that I haven't seen, did you hear what he had to say over the weekend?

• 26:36Patrick Bet-David?

  No, what did he say?

• 26:39Speaker 04

  Doubling down on everything they've always done. "Death to America, death to Israel", this is quote unquote. "This will be the common slogan of the Islamic nation and the revolution", they're still doing the revolution, "and the oppressed people of all over the world, especially youth. The future belongs to the Islamic nation, the IRGC, and the new Islamic civilization, and each of us can play a role in realizing this future together." Does this sound like somebody who wants to cut a deal? And if Pezeshkian, the president, we all know the president doesn't really have any power, the ayatollah, the supreme leader, has power. As much as much as I think it's gonna get ugly, we've already done what we needed to do with Epic Fury, Economic Fury.

• 27:20Speaker 04

  Trump has been very clear that he doesn't necessarily care about midterms, so to speak. I think they may even get into another hot war over this. And we've already done the hard part. Whether it's economically, whether it's militarily, we need to finish the job with these people.

• 27:35Speaker 06

  I mean, but what's finishing the job?

• 27:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me, let me put it to you this way. So here, here's, here's what I want to think about. Let's go be in the room, the Situation Room of IRGC. Let's be in that room, okay? If you're in the Situation Room of IRGC, what are you saying? Khomeini's in there, Pezeshkian is not in there. It's only people that are pro IRGC, people that are in that room, okay? What are you telling each other? What are you telling each other?

• 28:02Speaker 04

  If I'm there, number one, it starts with Allah. Allah wants this, this is what Allah commands, we will do what Allah says. When Allah is the answer, we can't negotiate about that.

• 28:12Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you do?

• 28:13Speaker 06

  This is, if I'm them right now, you know what I'm saying? First of all, we're winning, technically, because they can't, they're not gonna come in and bomb us and kill all the civilians because they're gonna look really, really bad.

• 28:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 28:23Speaker 06

  We just have to hold the line.

• 28:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Which means what?

• 28:26Speaker 06

  Meaning, what, what, they, it seems to me like they're holding the cards, because how, what can the United States do, Pat, to harm them right now?

• 28:34Patrick Bet-David?

  You're in the room, you're in the room. What do you think's being sent out?

• 28:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, basically, when I sit from the outside, I would assume, and just kind of doing game theory on here... They're sitting there with each other saying, "We just need to wait it out and get a deal, and get the deal that's a ceasefire, and get the deal on Hormuz, and then, you know, get them to agree to negotiate the uranium and everything going forward." They're saying, "No, every day that we make them wait, we're closer to just getting the war over, and we'll negotiate all of that later. That's what we want. Every day we wait." I fully agree with Tom on this. Tom is right. If, what does winning look like? They just have to survive. If they cut any deal, the deal is almost irrelevant.

• 29:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Because you think they're gonna honor the deal? The whole Takeya thing and just lying for the sake of winning?

• 29:25Speaker 06

  So there is no...

• 29:26Tom Ellsworth?

  So, so there's no deal? Well, any deal with strong points is... So the nuclear, the enriched uranium, the missiles, the proxies. To me, you would probably know this better than anybody, chaos is their strategy. Delaying is their strategy. When you don't care about your own people, how do you end up cutting a deal that benefits your own people?

• 29:46Speaker 06

  What do you think? I'm curious, Pat. What do you think? I, A, I wanna know what their attitude is, and number two, what are they? What do you think that they're saying in that room right now?

• 29:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so first, you have to, like, when you're running a company, and you're going through a bad season financially, the first thing you have to sit there and talk about is finances. "How much longer can we afford to go with XYZ?"

• 30:09Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 30:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, and finance person will say, "We only have $6.8 million in the bank." "Really?" "Yeah, how long can that last?" "Three months." "Real... Okay, shit. So we got three months, yes." So the finance person's gonna say, "Our revenue's depleted. Our oil revenue's depleted. We are down to nothing. How long can we last?" Everybody in that room knows a number on how long that can last. So number one is, what is the lifespan of their money? If America has intel, or Nissan has intel to find out that number, we control the whole thing. So assume if we know exactly what that number is, we control the whole thing. Number two is say they do and the people that are gonna take a hit is gonna be who?

• 30:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Their people, they don't care about that. They're fine with that. Their people taking a hit, they don't have a problem with that. If in this instance, Russia helps out, maybe China doesn't help out, but Russia helps out, but Russia's also depleted. They're also not killing it. It's not like they're having a great time right now with what's going on. Ukraine's making their life a living kill. In that situation, you know, Ukraine is Iran, okay? So Ukraine relates more to Iran and Russia relates more to, you know, US, right? So but in a way, Russia could be the little guy because NATO, US, everybody is helping out who? Ukraine. So I think if you bring in the Israel thing, if you really wanna go to, you know, Israel has control

• 31:38Patrick Bet-David?

  and they want this thing to continue and they wanna create chaos, you know what they could do to create a lot of chaos? You know what could be the craziest thing Israel could do to create some chaos? How many people did they kill of the leaders? What were the number of people that killed on day one or day two, whatever it was? Every day. Fifty leaders, right? But every day was like somebody knew. Yeah. If they take out Pezeshkian, you can give credibility to the people to say Israel wants this thing to not end. They want it to continue. Why? Yeah. Because the moderate is willing to negotiate. Yes. And IRGC is not willing to negotiate. So if all of a sudden the next week you hear a story, Pezeshkian's been killed. There is credence to say, I get what they're doing. Yes.

• 32:22Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know if you understand what I just said right there, Rob. Tom, are you kinda tracking what I'm saying? No, I'm tracking a hundred percent. So I would not be surprised if the moderates get killed to force the president to have to say, are we really gonna negotiate with terrorists, IRGC, or no? That is one place of totally being cornered. Because while this is going on, Rob, you have the story with Israel and you know what happened over the weekend? When US says it struck Iranian drone and a radar site as Iran claims attack on airbase? I don't know if you have that one or not. It says you have a clip on that. So there's a few things that happened. There's a few things that happened over the weekend with that being one of them. And the other one being the whole Lebanon.

• 33:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Where's the Lebanon story, Rob, that we have? Uh, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa. Let me see this. I don't believe that's in the press. Okay, this is, this is, this is the drone shooting down? Go ahead, Rob.

• 33:13Speaker 03

  New tensions in the Middle East. U.S. Central Command announcing it conducted self-defense strikes inside Iran over the weekend, targeting radar and drone sites. CENTCOM says the U.S. strikes were in response to what it called "aggressive Iranian actions", which included the shooting down of a U.S. drone over international waters. Iran claims it responded by targeting the airbase where the U.S. attack originated. Missile activity was being monitored in Kuwait. All this coming after President Trump suggested a peace deal with Iran was in reach.

• 33:45Speaker 05

  We're close to a very good deal, says we will not develop or in any way purchase a military weapon. That's a big difference.

• 33:52Speaker 03

  The president insists the deal be-

• 33:53Patrick Bet-David?

  So, over the weekend Hezbollah fired rockets into northern Israel from Lebanon. Israel responded with expanded military operations. Bibi ordered renewed strikes on Hezbollah targets, which they captured the castle. Rob, do you have the video of the castle with the Israeli flag at the top? Just go on YouTube, type in the castle, Israel flag castle. Did you guys see this? So, they say they captured the castle and they put up the Israel flag at the top of the castle in Lebanon. And this is an 889-year-old castle. It, it, what's the name of it? Bo something? I want to say the castle's name correctly if you want to pull it up. No, it's called something else. Buford? Yeah, Buford Castle, 889 years old. So, Israel puts the flag up.

• 34:38Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a statement, okay, on what you just did. Rob, if you want to go to the Buford Castle, it's got a rich history to it. It's on top of a rock, on top of a mountain. Uh, yeah, go to it. Yeah, Buford Castle. So, they took it over. Obviously, it's not the kind of castle where you're going to go have foie gras and steak in, you know, it's a different kind of a castle meaning. It's just got rich history to it, right? So, they had their back in for it. Israel captured a ma- It's kind of fragile. Israel captured a major strategic position, which is the Buford. Castle ceasefire talks appear to be faltering between the two so think of everyone's motives IRGC's motives versus Pezeshkian's motives versus Israel's motive versus US's motives versus the world's motives if you want to go one by one by one let's do it number one IRGC's motives

• 35:24Patrick Bet-David?

  they could give a shit their loyalty is to their Allah and their loyalty is to what they believe in and the Supreme Leader they could careless about your pain they could careless about the world economy they could careless about straight of hormones they could careless about any of that stuff Pezeshkian what's his motive he wants diplomacy he wants to see a deal being done he is a moderate he would like something to happen which by the way believe it or not that guy's got a target on his back by two different people you know who?

• 35:53Speaker 06

  His own side?

• 35:53Patrick Bet-David?

  IRGC and Israel

• 35:55Speaker 06

  Yeah

• 35:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Cause if Israel notices Trump's gonna extend this they have to get rid of Pezeshkian so Pezeshkian has to be gone one way or another if Israel's motive if BB's legacy goes that Iran got stronger with IRGC that's not a good look for his legacy

• 36:10Speaker 06

  At all

• 36:11Patrick Bet-David?

  US is about what where is Trump at right now we need the economy back down we need gas prices back down to be in the high 60s high 70s to be you know high 70s to be fine where we are economy needs to be opened up on the world is like we gotta get this shit to be done because we we don't we want it to be done but the Gulf states don't want IRGC it's such it's such a

• 36:31Speaker 06

  Mess

• 36:31Patrick Bet-David?

  complicated mess right now but if you can find out how much money they have and what their run rate is and what their pain is if Mossad or the CIA can get into their situation room which is probably gonna be in some kind of a bunker and hear what their biggest pain is now you have a situation there so for me you know I I think there could be a lot of moving parts a lot of different things happening but that's what I think is going on right now uh with Iran you know Israel and US that's where my thoughts are okay let's go to the next story next story I want to get into is uh um let's go into the story with let's see which one I want to do here Let's go into the story with the concert. Did you guys hear about this concert situation?

• 37:14Patrick Bet-David?

  So we have the 250 year, I don't want to stay on this story for too long. I literally want to do less than four minutes, but I want to give you an update on it. So the concerts lineup originally when they announced it, Rob, do you have the lineup originally of who was supposed to perform Vanilla Ice? It was supposed to be Milli Vanilli, no joke, like Blame It On The Rain, you know, uh, it was supposed to be him right there. Yeah, right there, zooming a little bit. So Milli Vanilli and then that's Brett Michaels, which I believe Brett Michaels pulled out because of what he was talking about, the concerns, the risk that he has, the fear, family.

• 37:45Tom Ellsworth?

  Lead singer of Poison back in the day.

• 37:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, click on that one, Rob, that says who canceled. Yeah, Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, Martina McBride, Young MC, CC Music Factory, uh, the Commodores, go a little bit higher. There's a few other names above it, Rob, that, uh, yeah, that's the one right there. Anyways, so all of a sudden, while this is supposed to be taking place, Flo Rida, Brett Michaels, you have all these names. They come out and they say, well, the president's going to give a 90 minute speech. And then allegedly yesterday, they canceled the whole thing. And they said, no, we're not going to do a concert. It's just going to be a Trump rally event. And they canceled all this stuff. Is this it, Rob, that he's talking about?

• 38:24Tom Ellsworth?

  This is Doug Burgum yesterday, yes.

• 38:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, go for it.

• 38:26Speaker 04

  The American, the great American State Fair, running 15 days here on the Mall, uh, starting in late June and going through July 10th, uh, is a celebration of all 50 states and all territories. There was a, a plan, there is a planned event for the opening of that. And of course, uh, I, I with a smile on my face, I can't say, I can't wade into the politics of musicians because, uh, you know, some musicians want to play music for everybody and, and then, and some musicians, uh, seem to have segmented their audiences, uh, the same way, uh, you know, politicians have. But this is Freedom 250 and the celebration of the 250 is a nonpartisan event. Uh, and I would encourage, uh, you know, everybody in America.

• 39:07Patrick Bet-David?

  To get out celebrating your own way, celebrating your own community. So it got canceled? And if you're here, you know, over those 15 days. Rob, is he saying it got canceled or no?

• 39:15Tom Ellsworth?

  He was just saying, uh, it's a representation of all 50 states. So no matter where you're at politically, you should be able to celebrate.

• 39:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, but it got canceled. Okay. I, if I'm not mistaken, it got canceled. The storyline talks about it getting canceled. What page is it on? Page 12 and 13? Yeah, Bret Michaels pulled out. What, uh, Adam, what did Bret Michaels say is the reason why he's stepping out of it?

• 39:35Tom Ellsworth?

  What did Bret Michaels say?

• 39:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, you, you said earlier why they're stepping out of it.

• 39:39Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, Trump said. Bret Michaels was having, apparently, he talked about, I'm having threats outside of this. I'm not worried about the security there. He was saying, I'm worried about my safety out here and my family. And I got all these people that are around me calling me, putting pressure on this. Look, this is getting a little too hot. And I'm paraphrasing what he said. I, I gotta back out. So he was not negative on Trump. He was just like, this is getting really hot and, and this, you know, I got threats against my family here. What am I supposed to do? Well, Trump said that people are getting the yips. You know what the yips are? You ever heard of the yips?

• 40:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell us.

• 40:14Tom Ellsworth?

  You know, like in baseball, when you can't throw the ball to, to first base, when you get the ball, like the second check knob block, I think he had that problem?

• 40:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 40:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Like a golfer can't make a putt. They're basically saying that these singers are getting the yips. And it's basically like you're, it's a sudden loss of the ability to do a performance you've done a thousand times. But Tom, I need your help on this one.

• 40:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Your greatest rapper, your number one rapper of all time is canceled. You know who I'm talking about, right? Young MC. Young MC. This is your number one rapper of all time. This is the one rap you always do. Tom, if you would just give us a little second, maybe a little prayer, maybe even a little rap. No, no, no, no, no. Just say, Tom, this is your thing.

• 40:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so he got canceled. What else? But seriously, like what else happened here?

• 40:53Speaker 06

  It just, well, first of all, Pat, like just art lineup wise, I'm not that impressed. Like Kid Rock, it's like how many, I'm not saying Kid Rock is on this one, but just the, the, the, like Billy Vanilli. They're the, they're the.

• 41:05Patrick Bet-David?

  You know who they should have had? You know who they should have had? They should have gone, spent some of the money, bring Morgan Wallen.

• 41:10Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 41:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Bring some of the guys that would perform. Bring Ludacris. Bring, mix it up. Bring everybody. We were gonna do something here. And the only reason we'd end up doing something here is because of my, uh, you know, uh, torn ACL that we have. Well, we're gonna do something here. We talked to the city about doing a Future Looks Bright concert here. We were talking to, um, Uh, who is, uh, anyways, we were talking about a couple of major country singers. We were talking about potentially having like a ludicrous year because you want to mix it. Bring the hip hop audience. If it's about America, bring everybody.

• 41:40Speaker 06

  Everybody.

• 41:40Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so I thought this was a miss and now the president's going to be speaking. I don't know who managed this event. I don't know who was behind it. I don't know who was the project manager. They have so many different things that's going on. So I don't know how I was doing this. This is actually not a good look. I, I think it was a bit of a cluster, cluster. I don't think it was organized well. And the last thing you need going into 250 is for stuff like this to happen. Like this needed to be organized. You know what this means? Let me tell you what this means. This is a byproduct. So imagine you're going through your day and you're talking to Iran. You're talking to Russia. You're talking to this. You're talking to Bibi. You're talking to Israel. You're talking, hey, uh, Mr. President, 250. Yeah, yeah, you guys got you're talking.

• 42:19Speaker 06

  Yes, I, that's a.

• 42:21Patrick Bet-David?

  That's not even like a top 10 issue for him, top 20 issue for him. And you're doing the UFC and you're doing the 250 and you have the World Cup security. And so I just think they were bogged down with so many different projects that was going down that this project took a hit. That, that's what I think happened here.

• 42:38Speaker 06

  And it doesn't help that, and it doesn't help that when, when that poll came out, I think two weeks ago, that, you know, political violence is justified way more percentage wise on the left, uh, than conservatives. And you know what it is? When they're, when you call the guy Hitler all the freaking time, when you're saying like people are threatening, the guy's worried about his family. It's not about the singing. It's about the backlash he's going to get from people, from fans.

• 43:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Those are two different things though. Those are two different things, Vinnie. Because I think if you are, you know, if you are doing a 250, you know what's the next one that's going to matter the most after 250? 500.

• 43:12Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 43:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Not, not 300, not 350, not 400, not 400, it's 500.

• 43:16Speaker 06

  Yeah, we're all going to be done.

• 43:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, we're not going to be here, right? If you're here, tell me about what you're taking. So I want to know about it, right?

• 43:21Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 43:21Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so the point is this, this, this was a, this was a hit that they took and.

• 43:27Tom Ellsworth?

  The, the left, let's, let's give the left credit for one thing. The one thing they do better than the right is arts and entertainment. They have the singers, they have the musicians. That's what they do. They have Hollywood, they have that. So it would have been great if.

• 43:41Speaker 04

  Some people in Hollywood say, listen, for the 250th birthday for my country. This isn't Trump's country, it's not Obama's country, it's my country and I want to be a part of it. That would be taking the high road, but everyone here in a political polarized world right now. Beyonce's not showing up, Megan Thee Stallion's not showing up.

• 43:58Speaker 06

  Megan Thee Stallion's not gonna tour for it?

• 43:59Speaker 04

  No, what I'm saying is these people would would never do this under a Trump administration.

• 44:04Patrick Bet-David?

  If the president was a leftist president, this would have been the most ridiculous concert of all time.

• 44:10Speaker 04

  Exactly.

• 44:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Because they're freer, okay, not not freer, because they're liberals, they would have supported him and everybody else is afraid.

• 44:16Speaker 04

  You're saying they won't get cancelled by going and performing for Trump?

• 44:19Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't even know if I put that there, because I do think if you cut a check, these people show up, they don't give a shit, they're like, you pay them money, Beyonce went and performed in, I don't know what it was, Qatar or Saudi for 15 million bucks. If there's a check, they'll show up, I think they could have put a budget behind it and people would have shown up to perform the concert.

• 44:35Speaker 04

  I think she's more likely to go get a 15 million dollar check from Saudi than Trump.

• 44:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Next story I want to get to is what happened with France, okay, so France, PSG wins the whole thing. And everybody in, you know, France is like, this is, this is gonna get bad, we gotta be careful with this whole thing that's going on. Well, guess what? It was even worse than what they expected, 780 arrests in France after PSG Champions League win, which was massive. And people were worried for their lives, they were concerned about what was gonna happen. And some of the messaging, if you watch this, Rob, just play a few of the clips, go ahead, Rob. By the way, what's that clip with the fire you just had right there, Rob? Okay?

• 45:17Speaker 06

  Dude, look at the.

• 45:18Patrick Bet-David?

  That is not the Middle East, Rob, where is this?

• 45:21Speaker 06

  That's, that's Paris.

• 45:24Patrick Bet-David?

  That's Paris for you.

• 45:25Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 45:25Patrick Bet-David?

  That's not Iran, that's not Gaza, that's France.

• 45:29Speaker 06

  What the hell is going on?

• 45:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, after the win.

• 45:32Speaker 06

  They won, by the way.

• 45:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Look what they're doing to cars, imagine if they would have lost, so this is celebrating victories.

• 45:40Patrick Bet-David?

  This is France for you folks. And who do you think is doing this? You think the OG French people that were, you know, from France? Their French men and women, you think they're doing this?

• 45:51Speaker 06

  Pierre and Jean.

• 45:52Patrick Bet-David?

  No, that's not who's doing it. By the way, go to some of the videos to say we were able to do more in three hours than they could do.

• 45:57Speaker 06

  Yeah, where's that guy?

• 45:58Patrick Bet-David?

  To take over, uh, uh, you know, uh, uh, Germany could do over in 1940s. I don't know if you have that clip or not.

• 46:05Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, keep going, right there, right there. This is African migrants, African migrants saying, like, look at what he's saying. Look, look, Algerians.

• 46:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Go back a little bit, Rob.

• 46:16Speaker 06

  Look at this, we have Algerians, Tunisians, Moroccans, Senegalese.

• 46:24Speaker 06

  We have managed to take over Paris even faster than Germany army in 1940. It took us three hours.

• 46:28Patrick Bet-David?

  It took us three hours.

• 46:29Speaker 06

  They're letting you know what's up.

• 46:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, and so if you go to the clip, Rob, with the Eiffel Tower being behind it, I don't know if you have that one or not. Watch this, okay?

• 46:38Speaker 06

  What is burning?

• 46:44Speaker 06

  Yeah. Jean Pierre, it looks like he's out of here.

• 46:47Tom Ellsworth?

  Looks like the French Revolution.

• 46:48Patrick Bet-David?

  What did Macron say about this, Rob?

• 46:50Speaker 06

  Macron was not happy at all, Rob. If you find that clip, he was almost like, he's like, never again, we are done. He was, and by the way, the whole PSG team is behind him, Rob, and he's schooling the, the, the fans. And he's saying how disgusting and how horrible of an act it was that what he was doing. Keep going down, Robbie. He's doing the speech. I think that's it right there.

• 47:14Speaker 06

  They don't have the subtitles on this one. Uh, keep going down. Where is it? Is that it?

• 47:21Speaker 06

  No, that's not it.

• 47:22Patrick Bet-David?

  That's English, though.

• 47:23Speaker 06

  He's bashing the fans, though. He's, he was bashing the fans.

• 47:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Macron was bashing a fan?

• 47:27Speaker 06

  He went, he said, never again, this is not going to happen again. He was pissed. But he did it with a French accent, so it was kind of cool. I'll find it, I'll send it to Rob.

• 47:37Patrick Bet-David?

  And then, Rob, if you can go pull up Dominic Targinsky, talk, oh, by the way, these are two girls in the car. Look at these guys. How much you're panicking?

If they're risking your lives. And then this is Tom, Dominic Targ, he's saying, "This is how the Polish celebrate when they win. Watch this."

• 50:45Speaker 06

  Go ahead, Rob.

• 50:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, if you want to play this.

• 51:02Patrick Bet-David?

  That's pretty sick, to see that. Okay, Vinnie, what do you think?

• 51:06Speaker 06

  And I'll just tell you, Pat, Macron said, "It's not football, it's not sport, this is not what we like, we don't want to see this anymore, we are fed up, we are done." That's, because, Bob, I don't think this one has the subtitles. But I just, like, what do you expect, Pat? When you let a bunch of people from countries that don't give a damn about the country that they're in, this is what's gonna happen. And I'm, by the way, I hope, I hope America has their stuff together, security-wise, for the World Cup. Because this, by the way, PSG's a club team. Imagine what happens when it's national teams, national pride, political tensions, alcohol, and millions of peoples in our streets. I hope that they're, that they're prepping for this. I really, really hope so. And by the way, New York as well with the Knicks. New York, this is just a precursor of what's gonna happen, okay?

• 51:50Speaker 06

  And by the way, I'm not being far-fetched. We let how many million of people in here for the past four years? 20 million, 5 million freaking gotaways that nobody knows, not ID, not vetted, not nothing, they're gonna be here. I'm just saying, it's a warning for what could happen here. But what, you guys won. I don't understand. And mind you, didn't they, Pat, they had it somewhere else. In Brussels, I think Alberto said, he didn't want to have it in France because of this. Because of this is why he had it somewhere else. They had the finals there, and look what they still do. But, you know, you import the third world, this is what you get. Plain and simple.

• 52:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom.

• 52:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, words talk, numbers scream, and who's and but words are talking and there's some numbers behind it from the United States State Department. Rob, I just sent you a link. If you could bring that up, I just texted it to you right there. Interesting. You would think that UK and France, allies of us for a long time, would be the safest and the State Department would be giving you information. But no, France, the UK, and Germany and Spain are all level two. Exercise increased caution. Pat, do you know what Poland is? Hmm. Level one. Exercise normal precautions when travel. Take a look at Eastern and Western Europe. Italy.

• 53:04Tom Ellsworth?

  Now, this ignores Ukraine. The blue areas where the State Department says Americans can travel there and we're not seeing issues, but take a look at Western Europe where you've imported all these people and you brought all this stuff in. They're saying there's extra caution required. And by the way, take a look at level two with a asterisk. That's Turkey. You know, so you've got all of this stuff going on and yet Poland, Dominic Tarzinski, Greece, and the Eastern Europe have been tougher than you look at Western Europe and Paris, what you just saw there. When would we have thought in our lifetimes that we would see the UK and France and who we fought with in World War II be represented by our

• 53:47Tom Ellsworth?

  own government as saying, you know, guys, that's a higher security risk going there than going to Poland and maybe seeing and paying your respects at, you know, you know, Holocaust sites, going there and laying flowers and remembering the things that happened there. You're safer going to Poland and what you saw there, maybe having a beer, toasting them and jumping up and down in the city square. Oh, my gosh, they're so happy for their team than you are in Western Europe. Adam. This looks to me like the French equivalent of the BLM riots in 2020. And you know who's to blame? Macron. Macron has the audacity to be like, I can't believe this is what's going on. Sir, how did these guys end up here? How did these people end up in your country?

• 54:33Speaker 04

  And you know, you know, I've been studying for some reason, the French Revolution recently. Because the great Victor David Hanson has been calling the modern left in America, the Jacobin Party. Have you heard any of this? The Jacobins, when the, when the French Revolution happened shortly after the American Revolution, the Jacobin Party started off as normal, like normal Democrats. Hey guys, we need to do good things. But then the extremists took over. Then the radicals took over. And what did they call it in France in the French Revolution? They called it the Reign of Terror. You ever hear of the Guillotine?

• 55:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 55:05Speaker 04

  Where they're chopping people's heads off. Maximilien Robertes Puyel? Chopping people's heads off. And all of a sudden, people are like, "Yeah, you were about life and liberty. Now you're chopping people's heads off that don't agree with you." Open borders, which basically led to an extremist revolution. The Jacobins taking over, which ended up leading to Napoleon, and then everything happened with Waterloo. But the point is this, when you let the extremists and the radicals take over your country, like Macron has done, this Islamic Marxist

• 55:35Speaker 04

  group that they're putting together, this is what's gonna happen. So on a day that you win a championship, by the way, you beat Arsenal. Arsenal hasn't won in decades now, it seems. It's sort of those things that the best, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. All these good people that want to do good things, but don't want to do the tough job of actually cleaning up their city or their country, this is what you get. Riots.

• 55:57Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, when you, when you look at numbers, actual numbers of what happened outside of the 780 arrests that took place yesterday, one died, one has confirmed fatality, cities affected 15. Do you know how many cops were deployed nationwide for this whole spectacle? 22,000 cops were deployed nationwide. 22,000 cops.

• 56:18Speaker 06

  With no guns, huh?

• 56:19Patrick Bet-David?

  57 cops injured. Serious injuries, eight. Injured civilians, 219.

• 56:26Patrick Bet-David?

  People formally taken into custody 457 arrests alone in Paris added the 780 is 480. So the main city was Paris. A 24 year old man died in a motorcycle scooter crash during the chaos. 17 year old was reportedly left in critical condition after a stabbing. Now, who would be stabbing? And Macron condemned the violence and said these responsibilities. Said those responsible would face consequences. Really? You know, a part of it is making sure your people feel safe. And obviously, the people didn't feel safe and there was a lot of madness going on.

• 56:58Speaker 06

  The stabbing guy survived?

• 56:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, the stabbing guy survived, but he was still stabbed.

• 57:02Speaker 06

  Good thing the British police weren't there.

• 57:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 57:04Speaker 06

  By the way, imagine if they lost. This is what happens when they win. Could you imagine that? And here's the saddest thing. They weren't caught off guard on this. This didn't happen out of the blue. They moved it somewhere. They were preparing for this. They were boarding up windows. They were basically preparing, just like BLM riots. That's why I said it's the French equivalent of BLM.

• 57:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Bill Gates plotted to look like Mr. Rogers using customized mannequin to test boring potential outfits. And this is a New York Post story?

• 57:33Speaker 06

  A New York, it was a New York Times Magazine.

• 57:35Patrick Bet-David?

  New York Times Magazine. Is it a New York Times Magazine that New York Post reported on? Let me get to this here. So billionaire Bill Gates devoted a great deal of time and money to try to make himself look kind of approachable as TV Mr. Rogers, with his team even using a custom sized mannequin to test out boring potential outfits. Gates team told the way on crafting the nerdy image he's known for today to make the seven year old tech mogul appear as benevolent man focused on helping the world. Current and former employees told the Wall Street Journal to that end. His stylist tested outfits for different days of the week on the custom mannequin with the team having access to troves of neutral tone crew and V-neck sweaters,

• 58:16Patrick Bet-David?

  button down shirts, slacks, and extra pairs of the silver lining opticians, carbon glasses at an offsite building. The Journal said the outfit was specifically picked for Gates to wear during public events with his employees reportedly sending the billionaire staff three options to choose from. Carefully select a wardrobe, common approachable like. Fred Rogers. So what, Vinnie, what is the big deal of the story? Tell me the big deal of the story.

• 58:40Speaker 06

  Because I'm thinking about, imagine you have a team, okay, approving outfits. And even, they did a Netflix documentary, they asked producers to edit out moments because he didn't look good in them, Pat. And then you have internal emails that are selling how successful the campaign is. Because remember, I used to make fun, besides his voice, because I'm a comedian, I make fun of his voice. That whole light sweater vest with, you know, the collar underneath, it's, it's like diffusing. You seem like you're a really nice guy, and they have a mannequin that's dressing up. But, and then now you're thinking about it, all the stuff that we find out about Epstein, all the stuff about the stuff with his wife. All the stuff that his wife was like, oh my God, his relationship with Epstein is why I, I, you know, one of the main reasons why I left him.

• 59:21Speaker 06

  Like, it's insane to me, you're lecturing the world about vaccines, about COVID, about climate change, about food systems and AI and how humanity should live, and then also complaining that there's too many of us. Meaning, there's too many human beings, a lot of us should die. And then you're promoting the stuff that actually kills people, i- i- i- it's insane. But then they dress you up like Mr. Rogers to emotionally calm, like make you look like you're calm. At least, when it comes to like Dr. Evil, at least Dr. Evil, we knew what we were dealing with, okay? And that's why, he, look at that, Pat, that's how he should be dressing. That's exactly how, in my opinion, Bill Gates needs to dress, so we know where you're coming from.

• 1:00:00Speaker 06

  The fact that they had to dress him up to diffuse what he was actually doing is not only, it's, it's funny, but it's scary at the same time, Pat. That's your image. Your image is what? Make me look cool, make me look like a nice, cool guy when I'm trying to destroy humanity.

• 1:00:14Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm trying to find out, again, th- this is what I'm trying to find out, because I want to know what's wrong with that. Like, Tom has changed his image. Can you, can you focus on Tom real quick? Can you put the camera on Tom? Like, how great does Tom look? Be honest.

• 1:00:29Speaker 06

  To be honest with you, that tie, that tie says a lot.

• 1:00:32Patrick Bet-David?

  The suit, the French cuff. Right, so, but look, look how Tom looks. If you go back, look at some of the stuff from three years ago versus today, or 10 years ago versus today. Tom looking money. Stefano Ricci got ahold of him and changed his image up. If you go to Bezos, what does Bezos look like? If you go to today's Bezos, do Bezos before and after? If you go to Bezos, top left, look at that.

• 1:00:54Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:00:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 1:00:55Speaker 06

  That's, I mean, that's.

• 1:00:56Patrick Bet-David?

  So.

• 1:00:56Speaker 06

  Look at Elon before and after.

• 1:00:58Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not much of a difference.

• 1:00:59Speaker 06

  Oh, no, no. Before he got his little hair transplant?

• 1:01:02Patrick Bet-David?

  So this is Bezos before. Look what he looks like. Everything he's wearing on the left looks like Brooks Brothers.

• 1:01:08Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:01:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, and now look at the right.

• 1:01:09Speaker 06

  It was.

• 1:01:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you, do you think he got help from somebody? Let's go to another one, Rob. If you look at those biceps, those biceps look pretty good. No, just stay on this. Just go to a different image. That one right there. Second one, if you can.

• 1:01:19Speaker 06

  Boom.

• 1:01:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, look at this one. All right? That one, he's got a jacket on. The guy on the right looks like a stud. Okay, go to the third one, Rob, that you have. Look at the jacked biceps and triceps. He looks like a football coach. Okay, and then the one on the left, he's just getting started. Then go to, to the one holding a book down with Amazon. Look at this. He's holding a book, Your Next Five Moves. Smart guy on what book he's reading. But look, look at the guy on the right. Okay, you got the veins popping out. The guy looks like a professional sports owners. You know, team owner. So a, a part of me for, for this is nerds, as they grow up, like a Gates or a Bezos, they want to find a way to be cool.

• 1:01:58Speaker 06

  I, I agree.

• 1:01:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Cool people, when they grow up in high school, they want to find a way to get rich. Because typically, the kids in school that were popular, they end up becoming broke.

• 1:02:06Speaker 06

  Hundred percent.

• 1:02:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, most of them. Not all of them, some of them, right? And so this is the thing to go through. I think the one on the left is probably fake because those cheeks are a little bit too cheeky.

• 1:02:14Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:02:15Patrick Bet-David?

  But the one on the right is probably not fake. That's probably exactly what it looks like today. So there's nothing wrong with recreating yourself. And, you know, recreating yourself and putting that, but Mr. Rogers? Why Mr. Rogers?

• 1:02:28Speaker 06

  Because Mr. Rogers, Pat, made people feel safe.

• 1:02:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Trusting, is that what it is?

• 1:02:32Speaker 06

  Yeah, because think about it. This friendly genius look that he's trying to push. And it was, you know why they said, Pat? So that we, the, the public would trust him. Tom is a businessman. He's a president. He's doing good time because he wants to look professional. You're trying to look good so people trust you, but you're a, my opinion, because you're that guy.

• 1:02:50Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm, I'm gonna wear a Mr. Rogers outfit next time.

• 1:02:53Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:02:53Patrick Bet-David?

  And let's see how, what happened. You know what? Okay, so.

• 1:02:57Speaker 06

  You take your, you take your future look right off of it?

• 1:02:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at that right there, what he's wearing. That old, Rob, can you send that to me, Rob? Can you send that to me for me to get that exact outfit? But you know what it is, maybe it's because I never watched Mr. Rogers because I came here at 12, 1990.

• 1:03:10Speaker 06

  You missed that whole.

• 1:03:11Patrick Bet-David?

  But I watched Mr. Abbas in Iran.

• 1:03:13Speaker 06

  Did you really?

• 1:03:13Patrick Bet-David?

  I had a Mr. Abbas and Mr. Abbas was hairy, facial hair, sweaty, no deodorant. You can smell him through the TV with two channels that we had in Iran.

• 1:03:23Speaker 06

  Where is he?

• 1:03:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Nah, it's, it's, he's not gonna be around right now. Adam, your thoughts on this?

• 1:03:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, the, look, I think there's a lesson here for, for most men actually, because I see guys move here from Silicon Valley to LA, from, from California, LA, San Francisco to Miami. And they're basically evading taxes. We all know what's going on there and they're two complete, total nerds. But you know what these nerds got? Money. They have millions of dollars, sometimes millions of dollars. But you know what happens? They come here and they try to be cool. For the first time in their life, they had a big exit. They made 10 million, 100 million, whatever it is. And the women of Miami, or women in general, smell it on them. They're like, this guy has no clue what he's doing. Can you buy me a bag? Sure, honey. Can you take me out for dinner? Sure, honey. And what happens is these guys basically don't have swag.

• 1:04:11Tom Ellsworth?

  End up basically lose their money. What's the whole, what's the whole phrase from back in the day? The man with experience meets the man with money, or the man with the money meets a man with experience. The man with money leaves with experience, the man with experience leaves with the money. That's what's gonna happen here. So everyone should go through this recreation. All these nerds, these, these people who are building companies who have never been cool, have never had looks or personality. All of a sudden, they're lacking that.

• 1:04:33Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:04:33Tom Ellsworth?

  So they need to improve that. Like PBD said, the people who used to be cool, maybe never had money. So in anything in life, you have to be a triple threat. In anything. You have to have money, especially if you're a man. You have to have a good personality or game, as they say. And you need to actually look good and carry yourself good. Triple threat of a man of status. So where you're lacking in that, you will be exposed.

• 1:04:54Speaker 06

  I think having Christ, number one, is the first attribute you have to have. That's number one. But number two, Adam, the point I'm making with this is, he knows who he is. He knows, well, about the Epstein stuff, he knows that allegedly what he did against his wife and was asking Epstein for STD medication because he secretly allegedly gave it to his wife. Hold on, he's pushing, warning everybody of pandemics and then you're pushing a vaccine that's not freaking safe. And then you're telling your team, make me look like Mr. Rogers so I look safe to them. That to me is a whole different story.

• 1:05:23Tom Ellsworth?

  Buddy, who else do you think he was gonna look like? He's like making me look like Axl Rose or Justin Bieber.

• 1:05:28Speaker 06

  Better, I believe.

• 1:05:29Tom Ellsworth?

  They're like, who could he possibly look like?

• 1:05:31Speaker 06

  Dressed like Dr. Evil.

• 1:05:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Buddy, the only thing you're gonna pull off right here is Dr. Well, you have a thing for Bill Gates and you think that he's evil and I get it. There's a lot of people who agree with you.

• 1:05:40Speaker 06

  Well, a lot of people.

• 1:05:41Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm just saying if you're his image consultant.

• 1:05:43Speaker 06

  Facts, facts are there.

• 1:05:44Tom Ellsworth?

  If you're his image consultant and you're worth billions of dollars, you're gonna be like, listen, your new look is Mr. Rogers. Good luck. He's a horny creepy old man. That's what he is.

• 1:05:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, okay.

• 1:05:53Tom Ellsworth?

  But he's worth billions of dollars.

• 1:05:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's go to the next one here. AI data centers. Check this out. So CEO of Cerebras comes out and says as AI as an industry has done a terrible job of selling data centers and we ought to pay our own way. Here he is. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:06:08Speaker 06

  I'm sorry, this is Kevin O'Leary.

• 1:06:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, no, no, no. Cerebras CEO. Do you have that one or no?

• 1:06:12Speaker 06

  Kevin O'Leary looking cool with a little soul pad.

• 1:06:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me play this and then let me read this and Rob and then maybe we'll play that clip. So Andrew Feldman says the AI industry has done a poor job of selling data centers to the public. He has a different message in mind modeled after Microsoft President Brad Smith. These can be clean. They can make jobs. They can be good for communities. He said at a 20 VC podcast, we can do it thoughtfully. Feldman, fresh off the chipmaker's blockbuster IPO, said AI companies need to be better neighbors when approaching communities where they plan to build massive facilities to house the thousands of advanced chips needed to power AI models. There's no reason why we can't add these to communities and have the community benefit from it. And we have to do some thinking. We all have heavy equipment out there. Build a football field for the local school, build a school, build a church

• 1:06:59Patrick Bet-David?

  or a synagogue to the community. We can be good neighbors at very, very low cost. Data centers need to be better stewards of local resources. Feldman said, in some cases, they tried to pawn off costs on local community or use outdated financial arrangements that left the community holding the bag, which Tom is raising his hand because he wants to jump into the story. And in others, they were wasteful of resources. This is not cool and none of this needs to be the case. Tom, it sounds like you agree with him.

  If you're building AI agents, you should check out Strands Agents. It's an open source SDK for Python and TypeScript. The idea is simple. Give a model some tools, let it decide what to call and when, and loop until it's done. No chain configs, no graph orchestration, and works with any model provider. It's also open source and built and tested for production agents. Get started at strandsagents.com.

• 1:09:37Tom Ellsworth?

  I absolutely agree with him, and I thank you for standing up. So you have this incredible IPO that goes out there, Cerberus goes out there, big IPO, everything going on. And then you have all the things going on. These folks have built data centers. They have one in Santa Clara, Stockton, Dallas, and Oklahoma City. Pat, Oklahoma City, in terms of speed, is one of the fastest data centers in the world. Not the fastest, but it's one of the fastest in the world. And he's got another one planned for Atlanta. So, he knows what he's talking about. And he's also, I think, speaking to the rest of the industry. Now, was he speaking like this a year ago? I can't find quotes of things on this. But he's saying the right thing today, and I hope that this is what he has believed.

• 1:10:22Tom Ellsworth?

  I could go back and read the S1 from the IPO and go see if this is what they were talking about. But when he talks about outdated financial agreements, that's like the bad sports stadiums. We were talking last week about sports stadiums, Pat, right? Where the cities get all excited, and they put a bond out there, which the people gotta pay the interest on, the taxpayers. And then they give them tax-free status. And then they promise to build, you know, roads and get more access around it, like Miami. And yet, they got no new roads and no access in Miami, as you know, Adam, to the Marlins Stadium. And so, people are trying to get down to Little Havana. It's always just a grind to get down there. Well, this guy's saying the right things, and I agree with him. And by the way, when he says, "Let's pay our own way on energy," let me code that for you.

• 1:11:07Tom Ellsworth?

  "We want to put small nuke, modern technology, modern generation nuke reactors right next to our data centers and power them." And if I was the president, I've been saying this over and over again, I would say, "Give me the pen..." I have the pen, excuse me. "Give me the permits, and let's get these things signed so that we can..." Department of Energy, EPA, everybody work together on this. Let's get this signed. Let's put them in there with one caveat. If tornadoes take out a lot of things locally, and we need power backup, you turn down the power in your data center, flip the switch, and take your reactor and pump the power out to the public electric network. That's all I want you to do. I just want you...

• 1:11:47Tom Ellsworth?

  Your permit comes with, in the event of civil emergency, usually weather in the Midwest, in this case, I want you to... It could be earthquakes, Santa Clara is in California, so is Stockton. Do it. But I like this. I think this is... This is where capitalism meets corporate stewardship. Means responsibly, community, member of community.

• 1:12:09Patrick Bet-David?

  And he's a pretty direct interviewer. He doesn't hold back. He's tough, he's strong. He's built a company, Vinny, that's sixty to a hundred billion dollars, a thousand employees. Their revenue last year was around five hundred and fifty million dollars in twenty twenty five. They're saying they could be a potential competitor of Nvidia. They're probably in the same category as, uh, uh, as, um, not OpenAI. OpenAI's got a revenue of twenty billion, twenty-two billion, give or take. They're making real revenue. These guys are at five hundred million, but they're coming up. They're coming up and he's a three and a half, three, three and a half billion dollar guy. So he's a legit guy.

• 1:12:39Tom Ellsworth?

  They, they do have a product. It's called the W S E three, the wafer scale engine three chip. And so they're out there competing with.

• 1:12:45Patrick Bet-David?

  So let's see what happens.

• 1:12:48Tom Ellsworth?

  Can I, can I jump in on this? It kind of reminds me of your book, where you talk about you need to have logic and emotion. I think you talked about it in Choose Your Enemies Wisely, did you not? And here's what it is. In, in any business, you have two main core components. You have the product and you have the marketing. One can argue that the product here is necessary for America to succeed in our prosperity. AI, data, innovation, of course. But you need to sell that to the public. The public has kids and families and they want a nice community and you need to do a better job of selling that, selling the dream, as you call it. You talk about, you know, what is, what is Mario Cuomo's famous quote? If the campaign and poetry building governed in prose, sell this to the people with empathy.

• 1:13:28Patrick Bet-David?

  That's what he's saying. That's his point. What's your point?

• 1:13:30Tom Ellsworth?

  That's, that's, that's what I'm saying. They need to do a better job of that. My point is this, AI is not going anywhere. The product is, is necessary. It's innovative. You think AI is going to help America? We need to compete with China, just like Kevin O'Leary basically said, as there, there's been a sort of a hit campaign from China and other foes of ours who don't want to see it done here, but both things need to be done, just like you said, when you're putting a business plan together. Use logic, use emotion, use authority and use empathy. And that's how you sell the dream.

• 1:13:59Patrick Bet-David?

  There you go, folks. That was Adam. Had to put the final thoughts because, you know.

• 1:14:03Tom Ellsworth?

  It was just my thoughts.

• 1:14:04Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I understand that, but I was going to the next story, but.

• 1:14:06Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm sorry.

• 1:14:07Patrick Bet-David?

  You wanted to give.

• 1:14:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Next story, I won't speak.

• 1:14:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes. No, you can speak on the next story, but if it's a story I'm coming to you, speak on it. You just repeated what the guy said, but it's fine. Let me get to the next one. Next story, Vinny. Next story, uh, and I've given you the feedback. So, so anyways, let me get to the next story. So apparently Google is planning on releasing mosquitoes.

• 1:14:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Great.

• 1:14:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. What do you mean mosquitoes? They want to release millions of mosquitoes into California to help stop diseases. What's the disease? What do you, what do you want to do? No, they want to release mosquitos. Guys, this is not a like, this is not, Rob, this is not a spoof of a story. This is a real story that we're talking about.

• 1:14:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Correct, and they want to do it here in the state of Florida as well.

• 1:14:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, well, that's where, that's where, you know, it's going to be a problem when you're doing something like that. But Google, planning to release mosquitoes, a tech giant, is seeking federal approval to release. You ready for this, folks? Thirty-two million specially-treated mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next two years as part of an effort to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne disease, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, and then a bunch of other viruses that I'm not going to read. The proposal is currently under review by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is accepting public comments through June 5th before deciding whether to issue an experimental permit. Rob, can we see what these mosquitoes look like that they're talking about?

• 1:15:28Patrick Bet-David?

  On Friday, a positive sample of West Nile virus was confirmed in Riverside County. The project is part of Google's little-known debug initiative launched more than a decade ago to develop new technologies aimed at reducing populations of disease-carrying mosquitoes rather than releasing biting insects. The company plans to release male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia, a naturally occurring bacteria. Is that what the mosquitoes look like?

• 1:15:55Tom Ellsworth?

  It's got eyebrows.

• 1:15:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, is that it?

• 1:15:57Tom Ellsworth?

  Yes, this is what they're saying, this is from the CDC.

• 1:15:59Patrick Bet-David?

  How long does it take to make each of these mosquitoes? Do we know? How long does it take to make these mosquitoes? What is the cost of each mosquito? So, one of them is a self-limiting gene that prevents female mosquitoes' offspring from surviving to adulthood. Another one is a fluorescent marker gene that glows under a special red light that allows researchers to identify GM mosquitoes in the wild. GM mosquitoes produce in a lab lay eggs which carry the self-limiting and fluorescent marker.

• 1:16:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Used for mosquito control when the egg hatch they develop into adult mosquitoes. These mosquitoes mate with wild females. Makes sense. The genes are passed on to offspring. The expected result of using GM mosquitoes is that number of AE mosquitoes in that area decreases. It's pretty wild. Did you know that only female mosquitoes bite? They need a blood meal to produce eggs. Male mosquitoes do not bite.

• 1:16:53Speaker 06

  Typical.

• 1:16:54Patrick Bet-David?

  They feed on nectar from flowers. Tom, your thoughts on this? Does this concern you at all?

• 1:16:59Tom Ellsworth?

  Yes, because you know what? I find this to be ridiculous. You know, I find this to be ridiculous. I don't trust it. Because California and Florida do have something in common and that is massive agriculture crops. You know, there are grapefruit and oranges and it's called Orange County around Orlando for a reason. And it was called Orange County in Southern California for a reason. So, check this out, Pat. Fruit flies can be a problem. They can infest orange groves, grapefruits, lemons. You saw all the lemons. We used to drive in, um, up through Ventura County toward Santa Barbara. And you could see lemon groves, all this stuff. Well, check this out. Fruit flies became a problem. And scientists came up and says, hey, you know what we could do?

• 1:17:43Tom Ellsworth?

  We could breed a bunch of sterile males. We can breed a bunch of fruit flies. We'll sterilize the male with chemical or radiation or something. We'll have some various techniques. And then we'll release them out into the wild. And then they'll mate with the females and the females won't get pregnant. And there'll be no more fruit flies and will cause it. They spent millions and millions, I think even billions of dollars on it. And guess what happened?

• 1:18:11Tom Ellsworth?

  The neutered male fruit flies were less strong and they didn't fly as well. And sometimes they would mate with the female. And then she would turn around and then mate with a wild male fruit fly and get pregnant anyway. That's what was happening. I don't trust these programs. And by the way, there's a hysterical University of Nebraska study that goes back like 2010, 2012. But it basically said, guys, sterilizing the fruit flies and sending them out may not even work. As a matter of fact, you may have the same sized problem that you did because the sterile males, you know, flew weekly. And by the way, guess what? The females in the wild tended to prefer the

• 1:18:54Tom Ellsworth?

  males that were in the wild, not the sterilized, weak-flying sterile fruit flies. And I thought this was hysterical.

• 1:19:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, by the way, they tested this.

• 1:19:05Tom Ellsworth?

  It's just like, here we go again.

• 1:19:06Patrick Bet-David?

  They did this in 2017. Google did this, actually. Google's life sciences unit is releasing 20 million bacterias in Fresno. Infect the mosquitoes in Fresno. Verily, the life science arm of Google, parent company Alphabet, has had a plan to release 20 million lab-made bacteria infect the mosquitoes in Fresno, and that's a good thing. You see the Zika carrion, this Egyptus mosquito is prevalent in the area. Earlier this year, a woman contracted with the first case of Zika in Fresno through sexual contact with a partner who has been traveling. Now there's a fear of inevitable mosquito meets patient if we don't do something about it. Verily plans called a debug project, hopes to now wipe out. I mean, you know, there's certain industries you go in that, first of all,

• 1:19:49Patrick Bet-David?

  even, by the way, let's just say a noble person was running that company.

• 1:19:53Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay. Alphabet?

• 1:19:55Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no. Let's say a noble person is trying to release these mosquitoes. Take somebody you trust and they're running a company.

• 1:20:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay.

• 1:20:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Is there any winning in this business? People ask you, what do you do for a living? We release mosquitoes.

• 1:20:07Tom Ellsworth?

  Wait, wait.

• 1:20:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And how many of them? Yeah, in 2017, we released 20 million in Fresno, and we're thinking about doing 32 million. But we're good people. We're church going.

• 1:20:15Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay.

• 1:20:15Patrick Bet-David?

  How hard of a job it is to do.

• 1:20:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Dude, you ruined my summer. My backyard was terrible.

• 1:20:21Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, in folk, like, to be, give you some context. You know how much 32 million mosquitoes are? Not a lot. Rob, how many total mosquitoes are there in America? I'm sure somebody counted them one by one by one.

• 1:20:32Tom Ellsworth?

  Two billion.

• 1:20:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah. No, no, no.

• 1:20:34Tom Ellsworth?

  And separate them by citizens and illegals.

• 1:20:36Speaker 06

  Tens of trillions?

• 1:20:38Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the number. Tens of trillions of mosquitoes. Thirty-two million mosquitoes is like the poor 22,000 cops in France trying to prevent all the immigrants in France of destroying the city with 780 arrests. Thirty-two million mosquitoes is nothing.

• 1:20:52Speaker 06

  Tens of trillions?

• 1:20:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Tens of trillions of mosquitoes just in North America alone. By the way, added to a tens of trillion, nine of them are in Fort Lauderdale. I don't know if you know that or not. During summer, they show up when it rains. Adam, your thoughts on this? Exactly. They want to release this in California and Florida.

• 1:21:08Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:21:08Speaker 06

  Like 62%.

• 1:21:09Speaker 04

  I just want to know one question. Do local communities get to vote on this? Or do they just get to release mosquitoes when they feel like it? It kind of reminds me of one of those things that's like, you only stop a bad guy with a gun with a good guy with a gun? It's like you only stop a encephalitis mosquito with a non-male binary mosquito that basically takes down the queen mosquito. Everyone should be skeptical, but at the same time, we should understand, I assume they know what they're doing?

• 1:21:35Speaker 06

  You're gonna assume? I don't, listen, I don't know about you, but the past few years, people don't blind me.

• 1:21:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam asked a good question, though. Did the people of the city have to vote?

• 1:21:43Speaker 06

  I think they are.

• 1:21:44Patrick Bet-David?

  I asked, did people in Fresno have to vote for it? It says, no. The residents of Fresno did not vote for the mosquito project. The program was handled through a combination of regulatory approvals, local mosquito control district, public comment period, and environmental and health reviews. It was not placed on a statewide ballot for Fresno voters. Verily worked with local mosquito control authorities and state federal regulators to conduct a release. Public meetings and common opportunities were held, but there was no referendum requiring majority voter approval. That's interesting.

• 1:22:18Speaker 06

  Yeah, you would want the people that are living there at least to have a say, like, at school board meetings and be like, hey, I'm not cool with what you guys are doing. You guys are putting these books in the library. They get to go and voice their opinion and pushback.

• 1:22:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so the critics were saying exactly what you said. Critics said the residents should have a direct vote. Releasing millions of mosquitoes affected by broader community, we should have something to say. Large-scale biological intervention should require stronger public consent.

• 1:22:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Man, I don't know. This is, the direction we're going.

• 1:22:47Speaker 06

  But wait, have we not learned in the past couple of years, just blindly trusting these giant corporations and billionaires? They're playing scientists. We just talked about Bill Gates recently. This is Google. Google and this Alphabet, right? This is a parent company.

• 1:23:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you what's coming.

• 1:23:02Speaker 06

  Oh, man.

• 1:23:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you what's coming.

• 1:23:03Speaker 06

  What?

• 1:23:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Can we play imagination game real quick? You ready?

• 1:23:06Speaker 06

  Five.

• 1:23:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so check this out. What is the likelihood? That if it already exists, it could already exist. What is the likelihood in the next five, 10 years? There's gonna be mosquito drones, this small, that they'll fly into the negotiation room.

• 1:23:23Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 1:23:23Patrick Bet-David?

  And just sit there. You know, they say, "I'd love to be a fly on the wall." Well, that's exactly what they're gonna do. Military mosquito-sized drones to go and track anything and everything that's being said and leaked information.

• 1:23:38Speaker 06

  I wouldn't put, if they're not already in the late stages, or they don't have one, they'd be very, very dumb. Like, I'm pretty sure that they're almost there. Do you remember in, um...

• 1:23:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, you could never tell anybody about it. Is that it, Rob?

• 1:23:51Speaker 06

  Look at that guy. Look at that guy.

• 1:23:53Patrick Bet-David?

  What does this drone do? Tiny, quiet enough to be called mosquito drone? Black Hornet, what does it do, Rob? Black Hornet. Oh, okay. Can you play it? Actually, play, let's listen to the audio. Yeah, for sure, this is coming.

• 1:24:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Maybe the music we can't play, yeah. So it has the camera in there. Look at the camera, the way it comes out. Boom. It's like the mosquito's dangling, but it's the camera that comes out, and then it records.

• 1:24:16Speaker 06

  I wouldn't put it past.

• 1:24:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Flight computer, you can make it so flippant, small, that it's not even detectable. Data extractor, Vinny. It goes into computer and extracts. Like, you ever seen the Transformers one?

• 1:24:32Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:24:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, the first, the thing is in a purse, and it's trying to find Wikileaks glasses.

• 1:24:35Speaker 06

  Yeah, yeah. WikWiki?

• 1:24:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, WikWiki's glasses.

• 1:24:39Speaker 06

  Do you remember in, uh, The Fifth Element? They had, the guy had a wall control, a cockroach had, like, things on its head.

• 1:24:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, Pat.

• 1:24:46Speaker 06

  Freaking sharks have laser beams.

• 1:24:48Patrick Bet-David?

  What's the term they use when they, when you have, uh, something in a... Recording devices? It's called bugged.

• 1:24:55Speaker 06

  Ah ha.

• 1:24:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Ah, there you go, right there. By the way, you remember when you caught my, uh, Masada mosquito? Yeah. Yeah. I'm replacing that as we speak. It was quite a few. I'm replacing that as we speak. But, but by the way, do you not think for a second intel agencies are right now working on mosquito sized cameras? It's already done, Pat.

• 1:25:12Speaker 06

  I think it's already been.

• 1:25:13Patrick Bet-David?

  It's already done. For sure, I mean.

• 1:25:15Speaker 06

  Instead of mighty you, the mosquitoes just like.

• 1:25:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Forget about it, because pagers are big, mosquitoes are not.

• 1:25:19Speaker 06

  Yeah, exactly.

• 1:25:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Pagers are big, imagine 5,000 mosquitoes going, boom, boom, boom, and it just pops and it bites you. And by the way, even worse, like there's, there's some really nasty areas you can go. Imagine mosquitoes that can release viruses.

• 1:25:32Speaker 06

  Oh.

• 1:25:33Patrick Bet-David?

  The way you can get rid of 50% of a nation.

• 1:25:36Speaker 06

  That's what.

• 1:25:36Patrick Bet-David?

  They just fly, no, literally.

• 1:25:37Speaker 06

  I know.

• 1:25:38Patrick Bet-David?

  You drop them, they go, they're, it's like on a mission. Release 100 mosquitoes into an area, next thing you know, half the population is gone.

• 1:25:46Speaker 06

  Ugh.

• 1:25:47Patrick Bet-David?

  It used to be frogs they used to focus on. And they would, frogs would become, you know, it's a different situation, but.

• 1:25:53Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:25:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Anyways, I, I, I don't know, these mosquitoes I don't trust, but, uh.

• 1:25:56Speaker 06

  Me neither.

• 1:25:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so, so let's go to the next story. Next story I want to get into is, you know, folks, if, if you, if you don't like, you know, if, if you like speeding, all right, and you get a lot of speeding tickets, and you're part of that community, you know what it is? It's like, it's very, and it's a, it's a, it's a very close knit group of people that relate to each other, who have a very strong right foot. It's problematic for some of us, some of you who have had your license suspended two or three times. My license was just suspended three months ago. I didn't even know, Jennifer's like, you know, your license was just suspended. For what, babe? Speeding tickets are not a good thing to get, but some people get a lot of them, okay?

• 1:26:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Hokel wants to put cameras, tracking device, apparently in your car, if you get a lot of speeding tickets. Go ahead, Rob.

  Now, more than ever, we need someone on our side. But Rob Whitman?

• 1:29:17Speaker 00

  This is another area where I'm surprised at the controversy around it when it makes so much sense. You think about someone, I'm gonna ask these gentlemen here. If someone gets 16 speeding tickets in a year, would you consider that an excess speeder?

• 1:29:30Speaker 06

  Uh-uh.

• 1:29:30Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's not normal, right, guys? They're just looking for an accident. They're looking to end up in this repair shop. So, what we said, we have to protect people. There's pedestrians, there's moms pushing strollers, there's people on bikes, there's kids going to school. We have to protect people. And if someone is so flagrantly violating the laws that there's a callous disregard of human life, is the only way I can describe it, there have to be consequences, have to be. So now we have technology that says there's a device that can be installed in a vehicle that would limit how fast you can go. And I think that's what happens. There's plenty of notification. You can appeal if you want to question one of the tickets in the project.

• 1:30:14Speaker 00

  There's due process, we'll make sure. But installing this, and if you don't install it after 45 days, you lose your registration. You should not be on the roads if you don't care about whether or not you're gonna kill somebody. And when you hug a mom...

• 1:30:28Speaker 06

  Are the people behind you, do they not have a job? Go to work. What are you doing back there?

• 1:30:31Patrick Bet-David?

  If you look at the guy in the middle, look at the guy in the middle, how he's looking down in shame, you know why? He's got something to say.

• 1:30:38Patrick Bet-David?

  He's worried. Look at him closely. He's like, oh shit, what's gonna happen if they find out?

• 1:30:41Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:30:42Patrick Bet-David?

  What's gonna happen if they find out? But, but here's the thing. You know how they start off with, "It's just a 1% tax."

• 1:30:47Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 1:30:48Patrick Bet-David?

  "It's just a 3%." "It's just 5%." "It's just 10% Vinny." "It's just 33%."

• 1:30:53Speaker 06

  Wait.

• 1:30:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Hello, it's 57%. You're living in the state of California. So, they can start off with, "It's only, it's 16 speeding tickets."

• 1:31:00Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:31:01Patrick Bet-David?

  "In a year, Vinny."

• 1:31:02Speaker 06

  That's a lot.

• 1:31:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, that, if you got 16 speeding tickets in a year, you don't deserve a license.

• 1:31:07Speaker 06

  I agree.

• 1:31:08Patrick Bet-David?

  They should take that license away from you. But if they started with 16, guess what eventually can get down to? Three speeding tickets in a year.

• 1:31:16Speaker 06

  Three, I was gonna say, three.

• 1:31:16Patrick Bet-David?

  So if you get three speeding tickets in a year, so they'll control the knob and they'll keep making it tighter, tighter, tighter. Tom, for someone like you who never speeds, what do you think about the story?

• 1:31:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, uh...

• 1:31:26Patrick Bet-David?

  We have speed bumps made on the property.

• 1:31:27Speaker 06

  I know.

• 1:31:28Patrick Bet-David?

  On an 11 acre property they named after Tom.

• 1:31:30Tom Ellsworth?

  This may, you know, shock some people, but I'm coming up on 10 years.

• 1:31:38Patrick Bet-David?

  No speeding tickets.

• 1:31:39Tom Ellsworth?

  No speeding tickets.

• 1:31:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, to all the cops and for Lauderdon.

• 1:31:41Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 1:31:41Patrick Bet-David?

  I can tell he's got a red Ferrari.

• 1:31:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Red Ferrari.

• 1:31:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Stand outside of our building.

• 1:31:44Speaker 06

  And what does it say around his license plate? Do you know what it says? What's it say, Tom?

• 1:31:48Patrick Bet-David?

  F the police.

• 1:31:49Speaker 06

  It's very clear. No, that's on the front. That's on the front.

• 1:31:51Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm not speeding, I'm qualifying.

• 1:31:53Speaker 06

  I'm qualifying. You know what that's telling the cop? Hey, it's all good. I speed. That's letting the cop know that I drive fast.

• 1:31:59Tom Ellsworth?

  No, I mean, I think there's, so, so number one, um, some time ago, um, uh, for people who were alcoholics, there was, uh, mechanisms that could be put in a vehicle so that you had to, had to do a breathalyzer when you got in the vehicle. And if it detected anything, uh, it would not let you start the car. And those were people that were trying to recover but had multiple relapses. And so those sorts of things were good, but those are supposed to be court ordered devices that said, hey, we're gonna do this. Uh, this, the police are here for the speeding tickets and then you suspend the license.

• 1:32:37Tom Ellsworth?

  So I, this is, you give the government a knob and they're gonna turn it and that's not good. And this is from a guy that, minding my own business, late for work in April of 19, you know, uh, 86, um, you know, leaving school, had six moving violations in a one and a half mile, uh...

• 1:33:03Tom Ellsworth?

  Distance and I was pulled over by two cops and a helicopter and oh they added attempted they also added attempted to evade pursuit that last one really pisses them off.

• 1:33:14Speaker 06

  You got choppered.

• 1:33:15Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, I got choppered. So it was six violations. So I almost but I almost lost my license because I had a clean record and they're like you have a clean record and you had a very busy morning kid. But um, I saw a lot of people in that experience.

• 1:33:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Weren't you like 59 with that? What was like?

• 1:33:31Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, no, no, no. It's just this is this is 1986. So basically I sat in traffic court because I'm not just in little traffic court. I'm in, hey, you know, we want to, we want to charge you here. A vehicular misdemeanor. We want to take your license and all that. What was interesting in there? I saw a lot of people in there that shouldn't be driving and a lot of people in there that were struggling with life and a lot of things that you say, man, if there's a mechanism to keep them out of the car or to have some sort of checkpoint for the safety of mankind, you know, maybe we should do it. But I am against this. You can voluntarily do this with your insurance company. You know that Pat? You're about to have a teenage driver. You can voluntarily

• 1:34:12Tom Ellsworth?

  put the sensor in your car and it will and it takes all the data and then with the cell phone, you send that data once a month or whatever to your insurance company. I think now if the car has wifi in it or is a connected car, it'll send it in automatically and they will give you a discount on your teenage driver if the teenage driver is showing to be a good, safe driver.

• 1:34:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Really?

• 1:34:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Yep. It tests, it tests how quickly you accelerate. It tests like speed. It knows where you are on I-95. It knows the difference between 72 and 85.

• 1:34:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Selling me on Hokel now, Tom. You're now telling me that Hokel is the greatest governor in.

• 1:34:49Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm against big brother.

• 1:34:50Patrick Bet-David?

  I never thought Tom was gonna be like, bro Hokel.

• 1:34:52Tom Ellsworth?

  I'm against big brother, but I'm in favor of capitalism coming up with solutions that citizens voluntarily you. Here it is, State Farm, drive safe and save. Tell them it's for parents that gives you a discount if your kid is not driving like an idiot.

• 1:35:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, what do you think about this?

• 1:35:08Speaker 04

  I'm a hypocrite because I have the State Farm, drive safe and save.

• 1:35:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, you do?

• 1:35:13Speaker 04

  I do, but I'm against Kathy Hochul being able to regulate because I agree with you. I think it's a slippery slope. The second, how long until it becomes, oh, in addition to this, let's take anybody who shoplifted, not condone. By any means, but they're just gonna keep moving the goalposts to make it easier and easier and easier to regulate your driver.

• 1:35:32Tom Ellsworth?

  All these people who are registered Republicans.

• 1:35:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, exactly. Or you had me, all of a sudden it becomes that CDBC, uh, the central bank digital currency. If you're not playing by their rules, you don't get to play at all.

• 1:35:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, that's a heavy driver. How do you feel about it? Listen, this is my story, pal. You know, I'm a super speeder. Cause I know you're gonna say something. Of course. Well, listen, let's get real here. If someone has 16 tickets in a year. What kind of driver is that? I don't want PPD on the road. I've been encouraging this guy not to drive since the day I've met him. Have I not? I'll then drive twice a week now. And that's what I like that. Shout out to Mike. Shout out to Dan, but I think it's a bigger conversation here about that we should be having about government control. And regulation over liberty. A lot of people objected to having seatbelts in your car. Seatbelts have saved lives. A lot of people objected to gun rights, but there's certain guns that shouldn't be out in the streets. But we should honor the second amendment. Freedom of speech, taxes. There's an ongoing control liberty conversation in America.

• 1:36:29Patrick Bet-David?

  But, you know, 16 speeding tickets in a year, you probably should have some regulation, just like a DUI. You should probably should not have more than one DUI in a year. I know people that have three to five DUIs. These guys should not be on the road. There are some people that should not be driving. That I'm, I'm fully with. One time a cop pulls over my dad. My dad looks at the cop, he says, what are you doing? He says, what do you mean, what am I doing? I'm pulling you over. He says, there's no law of ever broken. Go look at my records since 1984, which is when he got his license. He says, I've never had a speeding. He gets upset at the cop. The cop lets him go. My dad's never had a ticket since 1984. Not once. He follows the law better than the law.

• 1:37:08Speaker 04

  Good.

• 1:37:09Patrick Bet-David?

  So if it says 65, my dad's doing 62.

• 1:37:11Speaker 04

  I love him.

• 1:37:12Patrick Bet-David?

  If he says stop for three seconds, he'll take 20 seconds. Yeah. My dad's the kind of guy, if we gotta fly.

• 1:37:17Speaker 04

  Law abiding citizen.

• 1:37:18Patrick Bet-David?

  If we gotta fly today at two o'clock in the afternoon, my dad's at 7 a.m.

• 1:37:24Patrick Bet-David?

  7 a.m. Yesterday, you're texting, you're like, movie starts at 3. I'll pick him up at 2:30. I'm like, dude, you can leave at 3:15.

• 1:37:32Speaker 06

  Because you have 20 minutes. No, Pat, the food just got here. We're good. I go, Pat, it's 2:58.

• 1:37:37Tom Ellsworth?

  And you have 20 minutes of promos.

• 1:37:38Patrick Bet-David?

  So let me, let me actually go into the story because so a meme becomes a movie. You mean to tell me a meme and a guy makes a video gets 7.9 million views with doors and what is it called? It's called back what?

• 1:37:49Speaker 06

  Back rooms.

• 1:37:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Back rooms and this thing becomes a movie. A 20 year old directs the movie. Small little budget and how much did it do opening weekend, Vinnie?

• 1:38:00Speaker 06

  So Pat, so obsession. Okay, I'm sorry. Back rooms was made for 10 million. It made, um, I don't have the number. Oh, I'm sorry. Uh.

• 1:38:09Patrick Bet-David?

  117 million opening weekend?

• 1:38:10Speaker 06

  117 million dollars.

• 1:38:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Opening weekend? That's crazy.

• 1:38:14Speaker 06

  Good for him.

• 1:38:15Patrick Bet-David?

  So this weekend, a moody horror movie based on an internet meme looks like it could bring in astonishing 60 million dollars at the box office, which means it could be Disney's Mandalorian, Star Wars. Director Kane Parsons has made stuff on YouTube for years, but this was a film for theaters, which makes sense. He is 20 years old. The followers of successive obsession, which has grossed 74 million dollars last two weeks. It was made by 26 year old Curry Barker, another YouTube veteran, making his theatrical debut. These, those films come after Mark Fishback, better known for his 38 million YouTube fans as Markiplier, brought out his Iron Lung movie, which he made for a reported 3 million. Okay.

• 1:38:57Patrick Bet-David?

  So I haven't seen it yet. I was supposed to go watch it with you, but I went and watched a different movie yesterday.

• 1:39:01Speaker 06

  What'd you guys watch?

• 1:39:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so let me tell you what movie we watched.

• 1:39:03Speaker 06

  Cause Brooklyn tried, Brooklyn came out the movie, she jumped in my arms and then she was trying to tell me, you heard her character breakdown and the movie breakdown was hilarious.

• 1:39:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell you, originally I wasn't gonna say this, but we watched a movie called Sheep Detectives.

• 1:39:18Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm actually not kidding with you. We watched Sheep Detectives and yes, I'm proud that I watched this movie. Let me tell you.

• 1:39:25Speaker 06

  Sheep Detectives, that?

• 1:39:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Phenomenal.

• 1:39:27Tom Ellsworth?

  Starring Elton John, apparently.

• 1:39:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Phenomenal movie. Believe it or not, it's a phenomenal movie. But what, what was this? The back, back, what is it called?

• 1:39:34Speaker 06

  Back rooms, back rooms. It's, it's so. I'm not giving anything away, no spoiler, I'm not that guy, but it was basically-

• 1:39:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Thriller, horror, right?

• 1:39:43Speaker 06

  Horror, horror film-

• 1:39:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Were you ever scared like shivers?

• 1:39:47Speaker 06

  Oh, absolutely. Oh, I, by the way, I screamed, but like Tico's holding his ears, brother, the music, the soundtrack, all amazing, all amazing. This guy who owns a furniture store finds this part of a wall that goes into another dimension. I'm not gonna give it away, but guys, it was weird. It felt like a mix of like, uh, what's the movie with Inception? With the mix of like, I don't even know, like Matrix, it was, it was great, but Pat, this is it. This is the biggest opening ever for an original film, like you said. 20-year-old Kane Parsons, he started on YouTube, but here's what's happening. Disney spent $165 million and seven years trying to revive Star Wars, okay?

• 1:40:30Speaker 06

  Obsession came out, Pat, which I already texted Tico this morning. Uh, it was made for 750,000, okay? Both directed, by the way, by 20-year-old YouTubers. Disney's sitting at number three. Think about that, guys, okay? Not only did Star Wars lose, uh, the weekday numbers to Obsession last week, but, uh, in the weekend too, it collapsed 69.4%, the worst second week drop in Star Wars history, worse than Solo, uh, which everybody considered a disaster. Then it gets even more embarrassing. Obsession in its third week went up 19%, passed Star Wars again, then Backroom showed up and steamrolls everybody, okay? And my thing is, this is what happens when Hollywood, we've seen it for the past, got what, eight years, Pat?

• 1:41:13Speaker 06

  Maybe a little bit more, they forgot about storytelling and they making content that feels corporate, sanitized, woke, DEI nonsense, preachy, and just manufactured committees, but these-

• 1:41:26Tom Ellsworth?

  In other words, Hollywood.

• 1:41:27Speaker 06

  Yeah, exactly, but these younger creators, they grew up understanding like the internet culture, what people like, this suspense, the pacing, guys, I told Tico, the way that it's shot, you feel like you're there. And when you're getting those jump scares, you actually feel like it's scary, not like, not like the nonsense that these freaking- Big studios are making and then like this actually you're entertaining people and not lecturing them every freaking five minutes.

• 1:41:51Patrick Bet-David?

  This is the guy, this video right here, you won't believe how many views it got. So he produced this, this was a meme. He produced this four years ago, five years ago, this video.

• 1:41:58Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:41:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Guess how many views this video has with nine minutes and 13 seconds?

• 1:42:03Speaker 06

  How much?

• 1:42:04Patrick Bet-David?

  How many views you think this thing's got? Can you fast forward a little bit? Okay, so it starts like that and then it's just a bunch of-

• 1:42:10Speaker 06

  This is it, by the way, this is the-

• 1:42:11Patrick Bet-David?

  You know how many views this thing's got from four years ago, Rob? Can you pull it out so they can see that sounded bad? Can you just pull the-

• 1:42:16Speaker 06

  Eighty-one million.

• 1:42:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Eighty-one million views is what it's got.

• 1:42:19Speaker 06

  Good for him.

• 1:42:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Four years ago.

• 1:42:21Speaker 06

  Good for him.

• 1:42:21Patrick Bet-David?

  And it's the same guy that ends up doing the movie.

• 1:42:24Speaker 06

  Yeah, and then Pat, check that out though. See that, see that 3.19 million?

• 1:42:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh huh.

• 1:42:27Speaker 06

  Those people, he grew the fans by himself. They know exactly who he is. They know he knows how to shoot. They're the ones going and supporting and they're going and to watch it. I had, by the way, I had no idea who he was till Tico showed me this guy. This guy before the movie. Tico was showing me this-

• 1:42:41Patrick Bet-David?

  The game is changing, man, with kids. The game is changing with movies, 20-year-old directors making a movie that does $118 million worldwide opening weekend.

• 1:42:49Speaker 06

  Truly scaring, and, and, and hold on, and truly scaring people. Like, cause that's the thing, that's the thing. You're gonna go watch it cause you wanna get scared. Pat, Obsession and The Mandalorian and Guru, they're both tracking to make $300 million. Let's, let's just be, okay. Even though the indie horror cost 750, the, the reboot for Star Wars costs 165 million with another 200 million on marketing. Guess what Kane's marketing is? My YouTube channel. Check out my YouTube channel and doing what we're doing. So kudos to him, Pat, and all these young indie people that are beyond making a dent. They're, they're knocking down the damn building.

• 1:43:24Tom Ellsworth?

  You know what's really, you know what's really crazy about this, that you bring this up? You know what was the most successful independent? One of the, one of the two most successful independent movies?

• 1:43:32Speaker 06

  I guess?

• 1:43:33Tom Ellsworth?

  Uh, Blair Witch Project.

• 1:43:35Speaker 06

  And then Paranormal.

• 1:43:36Tom Ellsworth?

  1999, and it cost 60,000 to make, which is 150,000 today, and it did a 248 box office. What about- Then there, then there was The Room, also 2003, and then you have, um, El Mariachi, 1992, and then Iron Lung, that was built-

• 1:43:54Tom Ellsworth?

  This year and Obsession this year. So you have two of the top seven independent movies of all time. Small budget, self-funded, happened just this year. And what Pat just said, the game is changing. The, um, do you remember, um, Big Fat Greek Wedding?

• 1:44:13Speaker 06

  Of course.

• 1:44:13Tom Ellsworth?

  That was, that was a small, uh, studio fund. They said, look, we'll, we'll, we'll do a $5 million budget. This is 2002, 2003. That's your ceiling. You gotta, you gotta make it work for that. And so that would be 9.7 million today. And they went out and did 368 million dollars, which is 650 today. So you know what's really funny? It's what you're talking about. It's, it's storytelling and the projects that get through the filter. Um, there was, uh, do you remember Project Greenlight?

• 1:44:45Speaker 06

  Of course, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

• 1:44:47Tom Ellsworth?

  Right. It's them telling the story of how hard it is to take good storytelling and you gotta get people to believe in it. Ben freaking Affleck took, I believe it was 11 years to get studio distribu- He had the money, but he needed to get studio distribution support for Argo.

• 1:45:05Speaker 06

  Argo, yeah, which was a freaking hit.

• 1:45:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Argo was a phenomenal movie.

• 1:45:08Tom Ellsworth?

  But he had the money, but he, it took 11 years to get a studio behind it to give him a release date so he could get it.

• 1:45:14Speaker 06

  God bless you.

• 1:45:15Tom Ellsworth?

  I, I-

• 1:45:16Patrick Bet-David?

  That's, that's what he could have done, damn it.

• 1:45:17Tom Ellsworth?

  To you independent creators out there, follow it, man. The audience is out there.

• 1:45:22Patrick Bet-David?

  I love this for kids. I love this for kids because you're talking to Tico, you're like, how about we do a horror movie?

• 1:45:26Speaker 06

  I talk to him, yes.

• 1:45:26Patrick Bet-David?

  I love this for kids. You know, he's writing stuff right now.

• 1:45:29Speaker 06

  I, of course he is.

• 1:45:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Did he tell you or no?

• 1:45:31Speaker 06

  Yeah, of course. He didn't tell me what, but I-

• 1:45:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, no, he's not telling anybody till he's done, but he's writing characters. I got him the book about how to write the book proper way by a guy named Jim Scott Bell that Tom introduced me to 15 years ago. And Jim Scott Bell of Rob, if you pull him up, James Scott Bell, he wrote the best book on how to get the right plot for a book. The first one, right, the plot and structure, right there, yeah.

• 1:45:51Speaker 06

  I saw him reading this.

• 1:45:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the book. So this, this book gives you, you know, how to properly write a fiction book. So he's kind of going through it right now. He's deep into it, by the way.

• 1:46:01Speaker 06

  I love-

• 1:46:01Patrick Bet-David?

  He's deep into it. So who knows? Maybe we're gonna be, you know what I'm saying?

• 1:46:04Speaker 06

  I wanna act, I wanna act in it. I better not die in the first eight seconds of the movie.

• 1:46:07Patrick Bet-David?

  He will intentionally do something like that.

• 1:46:08Speaker 06

  100%.

• 1:46:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me get into the next story here. Next one I wanna get into is roller coasters, okay? And heights, folks, if you like heights. If you don't like heights, this is what just happened. Okay, and this is the video that he's describing. These, these kids, these people are stuck on a roller coaster ride. A hundred and five feet up and the ladder only goes up a hundred feet and they're trying to save these kids. These people. Play this clip, Rob. Go ahead.

• 1:46:34Speaker 04

  So, uh, we're working with, with feet and inches here. Just, just the unique situation does make it a challenge, especially with all the guests and the visitors. And of course it had to be on the, the day school was let out. So, uh, it was a challenge today to get personnel off the pier. Uh, but the, the crews and the personnel here at Pleasure Pier, they did an amazing job with helping us. And, uh, it actually went smoother than expected. I was gonna be next, like, okay, it's eight people for that coaster, right? So I was next. And then, uh, obviously the little like roller coasters always makes noise, right? So boom, they got on, they, the roller coaster goes like this, it stops, right? So once it stops, it pushes you all the way up. But this time it made like a very like big bang, like it went boom. So it just got stuck there, it just got stuck.

• 1:47:19Speaker 04

  And then there's where the, like, the operator was trying to click buttons and stuff like that, right? Just trying to like bring it down. So then boom, he keeps doing it, he's like, oh, it's not working. So he told all the guys, cause it's too rate. So boom. And then he was like, oh, I'm gonna need you to get out. And then we were like, why? He's like, oh, something's malfunctioning. We're like, oh shoot, good thing we didn't go first, cause nah, that would have been crazy. We'd be up there right now, you know?

• 1:47:41Patrick Bet-David?

  I like the way he talks.

• 1:47:42Speaker 06

  What park was this?

• 1:47:43Patrick Bet-David?

  So, Rob.

• 1:47:44Speaker 06

  They said Pleasure Pier in, uh, Houston, Texas?

• 1:47:47Patrick Bet-David?

  It's for adults only. Pleasure Pier.

• 1:47:50Patrick Bet-David?

  What a terrible name for a park. Can you imagine?

• 1:47:52Speaker 06

  Pleasure Pier, the guy's just like.

• 1:47:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Nude park with roller coaster rides.

• 1:47:56Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:47:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, do you have it of the people walking down? And folks reacting to it? Folks, it, it, there is, there is certain things in life that you, you know. Let me, let me, let me tell you. You watching this, people coming down, the way they're hanging on to the rails? Just to make sure nothing happens to them. The, the level of risk and concern some of these folks have while they're coming down? It's absolutely crazy. It took them, I don't know how long it took them. It took them apparently a few hours for them to eventually get down. But there's so many clips on this. Is that the one where they're getting down?

• 1:48:29Speaker 06

  Oh my God.

• 1:48:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at the guys turning around, trying to get, look at the guy on the top right.

• 1:48:33Speaker 06

  God, oh my God.

• 1:48:36Speaker 06

  Oh God, I hate that.

• 1:48:38Patrick Bet-David?

  But do you have them walking down Rob? Cause they're the best clips are, okay, look at it, look, they got one of them off.

• 1:48:43Tom Ellsworth?

  They're walking down safely, but you're, it is, that's nerve wracking.

• 1:48:47Speaker 06

  Tom, I'm not, I hate it.

• 1:48:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Four, four hours, they were up there.

• 1:48:52Speaker 06

  Let me explain something to you. I.

• 1:48:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Four hours, Vinnie, four hours.

• 1:48:58Speaker 06

  Have you, have you, like, I know this is a peer thing, but when's the last time you were at a carnival? Like, and we trust these people, those guys are on meth, they have no teeth. That guy has no teeth, he can't take care of his teeth. You're gonna trust him on a freaking roller coaster? That Fred the meth head from freaking, you know.

• 1:49:14Tom Ellsworth?

  And they just put it together yesterday with a socket wrench.

• 1:49:18Speaker 06

  No, dude, like, the, the trust that you have in those guys, I don't, I'm, I don't know. No, I, and Pat, thank God, imagine, guys, imagine if it was forward and they were forward and just dangling like that. No, dude, nope, you'll never catch me on one of those ever.

• 1:49:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Similar thing like this happened at Six Flags. And the Six Flags one was 245 feet up. And they had to walk down, Rob, I just texted it to you. They had to walk down, Vinnie, 245 feet up.

• 1:49:46Speaker 06

  Oh my, no.

• 1:49:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at the way that girl's hanging on.

• 1:49:49Speaker 06

  And it's windy.

• 1:49:50Patrick Bet-David?

  The guy behind him was just like, hey, wave in. Heights do nothing for those guys, Rob, the music.

• 1:49:55Speaker 06

  So he's.

• 1:49:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Look, look at it, look at the fourth guy, no, no, no, go. Vinnie, this is like for some people.

• 1:50:02Speaker 06

  Oh my God, that you?

• 1:50:03Patrick Bet-David?

  245.

• 1:50:05Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:50:06Patrick Bet-David?

  245 feet up, you're walking all the way down.

• 1:50:09Speaker 06

  No, thank you, I'm good.

• 1:50:11Patrick Bet-David?

  So, roller coasters.

• 1:50:12Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:50:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Does it do anything for you?

• 1:50:14Speaker 06

  I, before I got my ear injury, I was, I would love it. I would go to Six Flags with my boy Buck and we'd go on every single one. The ones where you lay forward and it goes backwards, I was cool with it. The moment that ear injury happened and my vertigo kicked in, I can't, oh, I love it. I absolutely love it.

• 1:50:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Run a poll, Rob, run a poll. How many people are afraid of roller coast, big, what do you call them, like, big roller coaster rides?

• 1:50:37Speaker 06

  Flipping ones, the ones that go up and down.

• 1:50:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Run a poll, I wanna know what people say, man, watch, watch our audience be like, they all love it.

• 1:50:43Speaker 06

  I'm gonna say, can I, can I guess a number? Seventy-five, oh, seventy-five percent love it. Twenty-five percent will never go on.

• 1:50:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, does it bother you when you go on the big roller coaster rides?

• 1:50:52Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, I go on big roller coaster rides and I don't mind it, but I'm not gonna go on like five a day and go over and over and over again.

• 1:50:59Speaker 06

  No.

• 1:51:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Um, I'll go there with other people, enjoy it and everything. I'm not afraid of it. I'm just not, I'm just not into it. And I'll, I don't go to these little carnivals and little things like that. It better be like a tier one.

• 1:51:13Speaker 06

  He tried getting.

• 1:51:14Tom Ellsworth?

  Amusement.

• 1:51:15Speaker 06

  We were, the recent one that, where were we, this past, uh, we did something where you're walking, we rented out the place.

• 1:51:22Speaker 04

  That was after the vault.

• 1:51:23Speaker 06

  After the vault and Pat, listen to me, Pat's in front of me, he's like, no, no, no, trust me, come on. Something in me was like, I love him, but I do not trust him.

• 1:51:32Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the best ride.

• 1:51:33Speaker 06

  People got on. The motorcycle flipping upside down. What is it called, Rob?

• 1:51:37Speaker 04

  Velociraptor.

• 1:51:38Patrick Bet-David?

  No, not velociraptor. Velociraptor is one, velociraptor is one.

• 1:51:41Speaker 06

  This guy was trying, like, I would have been, I still would have been feeling the effects.

• 1:51:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Three times in a row, Vinny, that is the greatest ride in Universal Studios.

• 1:51:48Speaker 06

  I'm okay with that.

• 1:51:49Patrick Bet-David?

  There is nothing, I've never been on a better ride than this one. Uh, it's phenomenal. It's an incredible ride. Anyways, Adam, your thoughts on this? I'm good on this. What you're talking about is Universal Studios. You took us there after the vault. And I caught myself in a little group with Natalia, Senna, and I believe Liz. And the four of us went on a, a Harry Potter ride. Who was the most excited to go on the ride? By far, Senna.

• 1:52:15Speaker 06

  Senna, obviously.

• 1:52:16Patrick Bet-David?

  And I learned something very unique about Universal Studios roller coasters. As soon as you get off, there's a throw up room on the left.

• 1:52:24Speaker 06

  You remember.

• 1:52:24Patrick Bet-David?

  And why do I know this?

• 1:52:25Speaker 06

  I remember.

• 1:52:26Patrick Bet-David?

  Because Natalia.

• 1:52:27Speaker 06

  The throw up.

• 1:52:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Love you Nat, telling her, she's like, ah, the lady just, they know the face.

• 1:52:32Speaker 06

  Yes, of course.

• 1:52:33Patrick Bet-David?

  They say, they're just like, come right this way. Boom, Harry Potter throw up world over there.

• 1:52:37Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:52:37Patrick Bet-David?

  I said, where did you go? She goes, there's a throw up room over there. What do you do for a living? There's some guy mop, mop, mopping all day long, singing a song. Wow. But that's what's going on. I'm good on these.

• 1:52:46Speaker 06

  Roller coasters. I don't have a need for speed.

• 1:52:48Tom Ellsworth?

  No.

• 1:52:49Speaker 06

  I don't even drive a car. I like to chill.

• 1:52:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 1:52:52Speaker 06

  But good to know if you're going to roller coasters, there's a throw up room.

• 1:52:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, you don't want to.

• 1:52:56Speaker 06

  Feed a bunch of six year olds blue and red jello and then pretend it's 4th of July.

• 1:53:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's go to this next. By the way, did you guys see the stuff with Diddy and 50 Cent?

• 1:53:07Speaker 06

  I didn't. I heard about it.

• 1:53:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Video and all this stuff and you know what happened there with 50 Cent's ex that daddy's a...

• 1:53:14Speaker 06

  Baby daddy?

• 1:53:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Baby daddy.

• 1:53:15Speaker 06

  Big mama?

• 1:53:15Patrick Bet-David?

  You didn't say so you didn't follow the videos closely. You weren't like zooming in? Okay, so then let's go if that's the case. Let's just wrap up with this last story. Which is the man held in triple homicide that killed three generations of California family. Vinny, you wanted to talk about this. What happened here?

• 1:53:32Speaker 06

  Okay.

• 1:53:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that the clip, Rob?

• 1:53:33Speaker 06

  Yes, sir.

• 1:53:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:53:35Speaker 03

  Family members of those three victims waited together outside of this crime scene as they learned what happened to their loved ones. It hurt the whole family, you know. It's three people, three loved ones. Modesto Police say two women, a 23 year old and a 54 year old were found stabbed to death at a home near Thrasher and Monterey Avenues. A baby was also stabbed and taken to the hospital where they died. The baby was about three, two, three weeks.

• 1:54:04Speaker 06

  Stop. Two weeks. There's words cannot express how terrible this incident is.

• 1:54:10Speaker 03

  Modesto Police Lieutenant Eric Schuler says a four year old was also found inside of the home.

• 1:54:15Speaker 06

  Hiding.

• 1:54:16Speaker 03

  They were taken to the hospital to be checked out and have since been cleared and released.

• 1:54:22Patrick Bet-David?

  What, Vinny, what happened?

• 1:54:23Speaker 06

  Well, I'm telling you what happened, Pat. California sanctuary city. And I'm going to say this, the blood of all of these people is on Gavin Newsom and his freaking failed, horrible state of California. Okay? This guy had prior DUIs. Pat, arrested, ready for this? Federal immigration records show he was an illegal immigrant from Mexico, deported three separate times, returned, kept coming back. Okay? And this is the sanctuary state. Under California law, local authorities, they're restricted from cooperating with ICE. And all these immigration enforcement situations, okay? And California sanctuary policies, they prevent ICE from taking custody of this freaking... Can I call this guy a demon? That's a demon, Pat.

• 1:55:08Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a qualified demon.

• 1:55:09Speaker 06

  Qualified demon, okay? And I have one question, Pat. Where are the protests? I'm just, I'm so curious. Where are the crowds of people outside Gavin Newsom's mansion screaming for accountability after a mother? Guys, two weeks old. If you guys understand that, butchered by this freaking illegal that's not supposed to be here. Well, I want to know where the celebrities, where's everybody? Where are the nurses? Where are the nurses beating everybody up? And where are the lesbians blocking, trying to drive over people? Where are you at? Not one peep. This story barely made a freaking blip on the radar, but I had to bring it up, Pat.

• 1:55:48Speaker 06

  Three generations wiped out from a guy that's not only been deported, kept coming back in because California's like, no, no, come, come, come in. I think it's disgusting, Pat. And this just goes back to our initial thing with people like Spencer, Pat, and all these governors that are trying. You guys need a change and you need it ASAP. I pray for these families, Pat. God rest their souls. You know, especially the two-week-old has a one-way ticket to heaven. God bless them. But this is Califor... What else do you expect from California? This is it.

• 1:56:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, thoughts? Well, this is tragic.

• 1:56:19Speaker 06

  Oh, my goodness. Two weeks, Pat!

• 1:56:21Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, so the grandmother was Maria Sylvia Nunez Villalobos, 54 years old. The daughter, Fabiola Gonzalez Nunez, 23 years old. Mateo Gonzalez, infant son, two weeks old. Two weeks old. Police responded to a disturbance call at 9:20 a.m. With multiple stabs as they searched the residence, they found Maria with the infant, also suffering from stab wounds. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene. The baby was transported and later on died. And a three-year-old was hiding.

• 1:56:53Speaker 06

  Imagine that back now...

• 1:56:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Police arrested Joaquin Escoto, 28 years old.

• 1:56:59Speaker 06

  Where and where, why aren't, why aren't they all losing their minds? Where are the Californians? Where are the protests? Where's the anger? Where's the governors reaching out and saying something? Zero. Crickets. Okay? Hypocrisy at the greatest level. Like, this should be the number one story. Is an illegal kill the entire, three generations of people and a two-week-old? Anything? Anything, CNN? Anything? Not one. Not one story. Period. Silence.

• 1:57:28Tom Ellsworth?

  You're seeing things close in. You're seeing things close in and not fast enough for this family, unfortunately. This disgusting tragedy. Um, my gosh. And now this young child's gotta grow up, uh, under the stewardship of foster care or some other distant relative, and then understand that he lost his younger sibling. He, he lost his grandma, he lost his mom, and, and all, all in a single day. And the bitterness and rage that can come out of that is horrible. Um, and you, you pray for that one. But I'll, I'll tell ya. I'll tell ya, there are changes. You look in the last elections and you look how people are voting. Forget that it's Trump. Look at the conservatism that is starting to roll in California.

• 1:58:12Tom Ellsworth?

  They're out there saying, get all these people into El Paso. Get the illegals into El Paso. Get the illegals into San Antonio. And get as many Californians and liberals into Austin as possible. Let's turn Texas purple, then turn it blue. That's their strategy. We'll get, right, right before their eyes, California's getting more and more red. Why is it that Karen Bass doesn't have 50%? Why is she sitting there at 40% in even the best polls? Um, there's a couple polls out there that says she's 60%, but then you look at the composition of, that they took a thousand voters and like, 70% of them were registered Democrats, so that's a flawed poll. And thank you for at least being honest about it.

• 1:58:55Tom Ellsworth?

  You have two independents that are carrying 15% of the vote, and you've got, um, Spencer Pratt. It is turning. Look, let's look tomorrow and see what that vote is in Los Angeles and look at the last election cycles and see at the conservatism and look at the red counties in the central state and things closing up. I believe the core citizens are saying they have it, they've had enough. But I don't see, I don't see any protests coming from the other side because they're not going to protest. This is, this is not on message. This is not on narrative. So this is to be ignored, let it go away. And that's what's disgusting. So it just goes to show you, they don't care about people. They care about power and the

• 1:59:40Tom Ellsworth?

  path to power. And the path to power isn't pointing this out as a problem. The path to power is ignoring this and making the other side the problem. Adam?

Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee.

• 2:02:21Speaker 04

  It's a disgusting story, Pat. You know, they say life is short, right? And I always push back and I say, well, life could also be long. You know, we're in the longevity world. I said, a lot of people are living to 100. You know, my grandma's 94 now. I know the grandmother died right after 100. But you know what life is? Life is precious. And at any point, it can be taken away, three generations taken away in an instant. It's horrible. And I tell you what the American people overall are just sick of. Look, we have some sick people in this country who are citizens of our country, and that needs to be dealt with. Whether that's self-inflicted, whether that's trans stuff, whether that's drug stuff, whether that's on your cellphone, we have a lot of people with a lot of issues.

• 2:03:03Speaker 04

  But what the average American just will not permit are illegal people, immigrants coming here and doing even worse thing. We have sick people who are doing things who are citizens, and again, need to be dealt with. But this is a line that the average American says, you don't even belong in this country, and this is what you're doing to citizens of this country? This is why people voted for Trump. This is why people are... Considering voting for Pratt, we need to have a return to normalcy and common sense and empathy and understanding of who we are as Americans.

• 2:03:33Speaker 06

  But it drives me crazy, Pat, that California, Gavin Newsom, the anti ICE rhetoric, like you, not one peep about this, they just, they want you to hate on the people, there's still, Newark, New Jersey has a bunch of riots happening outside the detention center because we're trying to get rid of these freaking people. Gavin Newsom's calling them freaking, like basically the Gestapo, same thing with the freaking, who's the guy from Chicago, who's the governor?

• 2:03:59Speaker 04

  J.B. Prince.

• 2:04:00Speaker 06

  Like, that's the, the whole rhetoric is going after the people that are trying to get guys like this, this murderer of his own freaking, like, it just boggles my mind, Pat, it's so frustrating that you don't hear nothing from them, not one condolence, not one thing like, hey, guys, okay, this is, this is a problem.

• 2:04:16Patrick Bet-David?

  This doesn't help them, because this story shows that you need ICE, this story shows and validates the need for what ICE does, but there's no way in the world they're gonna show a story like this, they need the divide, but I will tell you, Vinny, I, okay, so, for instance, we, every year, we make mistakes, okay, every year, we make mistakes.

• 2:04:40Patrick Bet-David?

  And we'll make mistakes in the insurance company, we'll make mistakes in our personal lives, we'll make mistakes on the way we're raising kids, we'll make mistakes with our company, like right now, the stuff that, the mistake we made on the conversation that came up with Goliath Ventures for the Vault Conference last year and what happened, and we'll go and we'll, you know, people, oh my God, you know, I can't believe you did this, and we'll go and find ways on what we can do to improve our businesses, every possible way, we'll openly talk about it with our crew and say, what can we do to improve anything that we're doing? And then there's groups of people that no matter what you do, they will only make noise when you fall, just remember that, they will only make noise when they're, they're just salivating for

• 2:05:25Patrick Bet-David?

  you to fall behind closed doors. Then there are those that are your supporters, and they want to see you win, and they believe in your authenticity and who you're on, what you're doing, and they want to support you all the way, you know, all the way to the end, right? And then there's the people in the middle, the people in the middle are like, well, what happened, though? Well, okay, that's fair. I respect the fact that he did. Okay, so, but what happened here? Okay, can you give me some of the facts here? Okay, you know what? I side with this. No, I side with this. No, I think the, you know, 250-year 4th of July anniversary thing is a little bit of a cluster, and I think that's a screw-up. You could have done a better job with it. Hired an external team to have ran that and not put it on the White House to do it, that could have been good. No, I think is this.

• 2:06:07Patrick Bet-David?

  I think independents watch stories like this and they see hypocrisy. And they'll say, "You know what? You're so full of shit. All you want to do is divide and you will not give the man any credit for anything that he does. All you want to do is tear him down." That's a part of you being on the limelight. But I bank on independents who have the ability to reason to sit there and say, "I think they're fair. I think that was a fair assessment. I think this isn't what needs to happen." So when you hear a story like this, by the way, apparently they were dating. Him and Fabiola were dating. Apparently the three-year-old is their kid and allegedly the two, the infant, is theirs as well. People close to the matter are like, they had an argument, they had a dispute. They said maybe

• 2:06:51Patrick Bet-David?

  alcohol was involved, he's dealing with mental issues and all this other stuff. It doesn't matter what it is, no matter how much, how much mental issues do you need to deal with to kill the grandmother, the daughter, and the granddaughter? Like, who, who needs to do something like that? What, what, what gets you to those levels? So, we need to make sure we keep our city safe. And by the way, Modesto is a place with a lot of Assyrians. You know, Assyrians live in Modesto.

• 2:07:11Tom Ellsworth?

  That's right near Turlock area.

• 2:07:12Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right. That's right around the Turlock area. So when you hear stories like this, breaks your heart for that family. Our prayers goes out to their family. Uh, uh, you know, there's nothing you can do to, in one day you lose all three, how the hell do you deal with that? When you're going through it. So my heart's broken for this family that they're going through it. Last but not least, before we wrap up, breaking news just came in right now, Rob. With the Strait of Hormuz, Iran said they're shutting it down. They're not keeping it open. They're closing it. And it's mainly around the stories of Lebanon and Israel fire that is going on. That's what they're saying, the stories behind what they're shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has accused Trump administration of ceasefire violations and will move to close. Stop exchanging messages with the US through intermediaries.

• 2:07:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Iran state affiliated outlet just said this, the report translated from a post on the messaging app Telegram pointed to Israel's military operations in Lebanon against the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah as a violation of the ceasefire with the US. Go a little bit lower, Rob. The report said an Israeli ceasefire in Lebanon is a precondition for the ceasefire between Iran and US and the ceasefire has now been violated on all fronts. Iran's again. Abbas Al-Rachi posted on social media asked that Lebanon is included in the ceasefire with the US and any violation on the front shall be considered violation of all fronts. The US and Israel bear responsibility for the consequences of any breach of the truce. If you want to go a little bit lower, Rob, to wrap it up. Israel announced Sunday it's captured, Israel's Lebanon's is that the name?

• 2:08:39Speaker 06

  Buford.

• 2:08:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Buford Castle, the one we talked about earlier, yeah, Buford. Bibi on Monday ordered attacks, etc. So here's the part, when I read this, by the way, when I read this. It makes me think about two things when you see this. One is the fact that they want you to leave Hezbollah alone? Isn't that one of their proxy militaries that they have? That is on a rampage? I remember growing up with Hezbollah myself in Iran. So they want you to leave any of their proxy military, the Hezbollahs, the Houthis? Part of the term is to leave them alone. Oh, that makes a lot of sense when you're negotiating with them.

• 2:09:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. So, but the part that they're getting this bold now goes back to the conversation that we had. There's something going on internally with these guys. The extremists do not want to give up the power. The extremists do not want to give up the power. So as you're negotiating with them and they're closing the Strait of Hormuz. Adam, your thoughts on this? Oh, they're playing games, Pat. And I'll tell you why.

• 2:09:44Speaker 04

  Why would Lebanon be included in a ceasefire with Iran and the United States?

• 2:09:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Because Hezbollah is funded by them. It's one of their militaries that...

• 2:09:51Speaker 04

  Exactly. Because basically, I said Lebanon is now Iran first. People accuse America is owned by Israel.

• 2:09:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Do me a favor first. Can you show me what the gas prices are? What are gas prices showing right now? What's happened since this announcement?

• 2:10:03Tom Ellsworth?

  6.50 on WTI oil.

• 2:10:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Zoom in. Okay, it just went up...

• 2:10:09Tom Ellsworth?

  7.12 now. Look at that spike.

• 2:10:13Patrick Bet-David?

  8 and 8 plus percent increase, 94.48. So it's real. It's a real thing. Adam, continue.

• 2:10:19Speaker 04

  Look, Iran's playing games. Put yourself in each of these people's positions. Let's say you're Israel for a second. You're like, "Hey, we're not even in the room, so just let us know what's in the agreement." They go, "Yeah, yeah, you can't..." Part of the agreement is you can't go after Hezbollah anymore and Lebanon. And Israel goes, "Yeah, but they're shooting rockets into our cities. So what do you want us to do?" So Israel, because they actually have an existential threat, literally, they're like, "No, dude, we're gonna go after the terrorist regime that's basically embedded themselves in Lebanon, known as Hezbollah. We can't condone this." And Iran goes, "Look, you see?

• 2:11:02Speaker 04

  They're just... Blame Israel. They broke the ceasefire again." And then do you remember what J.D. Vance says? Do you remember what Marco Rubio says? Do you remember what Trump said? He goes, "Yeah, Hezbollah was never part of the ceasefire." Do you remember that?

• 2:11:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Of course.

• 2:11:14Speaker 04

  J.D. Vance was like standing in front of Air Force Two or something like that. He goes, "No, no, they're trying to input that into the ceasefire."

• 2:11:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I get that. But I'm gonna tell you something as well, Adam. There is no way Israel wants this war to stop.

• 2:11:29Speaker 04

  Well, Israel wants a regime change.

• 2:11:31Patrick Bet-David?

  I know they do. So then if... Which, by the way, to the people that believe Hezbollah is bad, Houthis are bad, you know, all these military proxies that they fund, that whatever money comes to them, they put it and make those strong... For those, that would be part of the side of the argument you would be with. But to me, if you're watching Bibi's moves, Bibi does not want this thing, this deal to get done. They don't want the deal to get done.

• 2:11:59Speaker 04

  You would know better than me. There's one word, why Iran... The IRGC does not want this to get done. And that word is revolution. If the IRGC or the Ayatollah is no longer running the Islamic Republic of Iran, you know what that means? That means the revolution is done. The whole concept that they want is Islamic revolution.

• 2:12:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:12:18Speaker 04

  To take over not only the Middle East, but the world. So if there's an actual regime change in the IRGC, the Islamic, what does it stand for? Revolutionary Guard Corps? That means the revolution is done. So like I said at the beginning of the podcast, I don't see a deal getting done.

• 2:12:35Speaker 06

  This war is not.

• 2:12:35Speaker 04

  And until they actually finish the job, I don't think we're leaving this.

• 2:12:38Speaker 06

  What is finishing the job?

• 2:12:39Speaker 04

  But here's my point, either they do it now, or they do this in 50 years.

• 2:12:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Finish the job means different things to different people.

• 2:12:44Speaker 06

  Finish the job, Adam, is literally nuke them.

• 2:12:46Speaker 04

  This is.

• 2:12:46Speaker 06

  Like, that's the only, wipe them all out because they're not gonna give up.

• 2:12:49Speaker 04

  This is a return to the conversation about Kargyle.

• 2:12:51Speaker 06

  Well, my question to you is, what is finishing the job? Please, I want to know what finishing the job, because he makes a great point.

• 2:12:57Speaker 04

  It's Kargyle.

• 2:12:58Patrick Bet-David?

  For him, the finishing the job is a regime collapse or regime change. That's what finishing the job. But to me, let me go through again. It goes back to those five communities, right? It goes to IRGC, which is Khamenei. It goes to the moderates like Pezeshkian, who claimed he was resigning yesterday and now, you know, Mohtab, he needs to prove it, whether he's getting. Then you have US, then you have the world, and then you have Israel. Israel wants one thing, okay? Israel wants one thing. Bibi wants regime change, regime collapse, all. I don't think Trump is sitting here now saying he wants the same thing as Bibi does.

• 2:13:41Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't think they share the common agenda. Look what Mark Levin is doing. Mark Levin is calling out nonstop Trump negotiating with him. Same with Cruz, same with others. Which, by the way, again, that's their position on what they want. It doesn't seem to be Trump's position. The way they get him back in by creating chaos like this and making the deal to be difficult to be done. But by the way, Vinny, a part of it which I kind of side with them is the following. I'm okay, like if this goes with moderates running Iran. But if they're gonna go and IRGC is still running the whole thing, there is no deal. You can't believe a single word that comes out of their mouth. Not one word that comes out of IRGC's mouth.

• 2:14:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Nothing. You can't believe a single thing that they're saying, so.

• 2:14:28Speaker 06

  I agree. I agree, but here's my thing. From the beginning of this, did they not realize these people were gonna act exactly as? These are the people that say death to America.

• 2:14:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Sometimes you don't know how powerful, sometimes you don't know what their capabilities are. They, by the way, they showed themselves that they can stand up.

• 2:14:44Speaker 06

  Heck, yeah. What do you mean, no? Well, they showed themselves that they're willing to kill their people and kill all their neighbors. No, but here's my question, though. The Navy's gone, the Air Force is gone. What are they, what? Here's my question. The Navy's gone. They keep bragging that's the bottom of the sea. Air Force, they're decimated. How are they still controlling? They still have missiles. And the regime isn't changing. They're willing to hit their neighboring countries. That's what I'm saying. If I'm UAE.

• 2:15:09Tom Ellsworth?

  What were they using to plant mines?

• 2:15:11Speaker 06

  We were more worried than Israel. Yeah, exactly.

• 2:15:13Tom Ellsworth?

  Floaties? Say, Tom? You said their Navy's at the bottom of it, really? Then what were they using? They were using small fast boats. They still have them. They will small boat to plant mines as recently as a week and a half ago. That was Thursday before Memorial Day, right? So they still had some capability out there because we sat there and go to, hey, excuse me, excuse me, you with the mine? Let me, let me tell you, right? It's, it's right. We have, you're about to enter the TSA Express lane to see Allah, dude. Unless you wanna just go, go and back off here. Bye, I'm not, I'm being ridiculous, but I'm not being incorrect. That's what's going on. And now, and Israel's coming back and it's like Israel's not playing football in.

• 2:15:54Speaker 06

  One simple question for Pat. Is there any deal, any deal that the IRGC, the Ayatollah?

• 2:16:04Speaker 06

  Would honor ahead of the Allah revolution of Islamic caliphate? Is there any deal they would honor above that?

• 2:16:14Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't trust IRGC for a second.

• 2:16:17Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't trust IRGC for a second. And I don't like the fact that Pezeshkin is being pushed out and not being involved in decision making because it tells you the extremists are still having a chokehold on everybody. And they're gonna use this as a victory against everybody. But I also understand what Bibi's doing. Bibi's, Bibi, Bibi is gonna extend the lifespan of this war by not stopping attacking Hezbollah, Lebanon. Bibi's gonna extend that because he doesn't want that deal. And whether that's gonna hurt his relationship with Trump or not, who knows? Behind closed doors, all this stuff that's happening. And, you know, who knows IRGC better, Trump or Bibi?

• 2:16:57Speaker 06

  Well, Bibi.

• 2:16:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Who, who's gonna know the, the DNA of those guys? Gulf states or America? Gulf states. Gulf states are unified against the IRGC. So I don't know. I, I, I don't know. I would tell you, if you really wanted to prolong it,

• 2:17:13Patrick Bet-David?

  take out Pezeshkin. If Pezeshkin is taking on next couple of weeks, that's like a real way of saying, nope, we're not, kill all the moderates. Is, I'm not telling you, what they're gonna say is like, if they kill all the moderates, and that's what they do, that's their way of saying, you're left with them. Do you wanna negotiate with them? Or do you wanna get rid of them? I don't know if you understand what I'm saying or not.

• 2:17:32Speaker 06

  I get it.

• 2:17:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Forcing you to a hand to say, alright, who do you wanna do? And, and so, now, dirty strategy, effective strategy? Call it whatever you want. But they're at least, their strategy is get rid of all the moderates. So you're forced to only deal with IRGC. And then you learn IRGC is not people like you and I to negotiate with. Then guess, guess what the job is? You know, so, I don't know. We'll see, we'll see what's gonna happen with this. Uh, slippery slope, going back and forth. Has Trump tweeted anything yet or no? Has he said anything about it? He typically will move very quickly with stuff like this.

• 2:18:05Speaker 06

  Shout out to Google for having a pride.

• 2:18:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that really what they're doing?

• 2:18:09Speaker 06

  Yes.

• 2:18:10Patrick Bet-David?

  American pride? That's good, American pride.

• 2:18:12Speaker 06

  Yeah, no, that's not American pride.

• 2:18:13Patrick Bet-David?

  That's Studio 54 Disco?

• 2:18:14Speaker 06

  That's Studio 54 Disco Ball for Google.

• 2:18:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Has he said anything, Rob, or no?

• 2:18:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, no, 10 hours.

• 2:18:23Speaker 06

  10 hours.

• 2:18:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 2:18:24Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, he's gonna say something soon, I guarantee it.

• 2:18:26Patrick Bet-David?

  He will say something very shortly.

• 2:18:27Speaker 04

  This was 1 o'clock this morning.

• 2:18:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Iran really wants to make a deal and it'll be a good one for the US and those with us, but don't the Democrats, very seemingly unpatriotic Republicans, understand that it is much tougher for me to properly do my job and negotiate when political hacks keep negatively chirping at levels never seen before, over and over again, that I should move faster or move slower, go to war, not go to war, or whatever. Just sit back and relax. It'll all work out at the end, it always does. By the way, that's a very reassuring message by a leader. Anyways, gang, tomorrow, Rob, do we have some tomorrow or no?

• 2:19:00Speaker 04

  No, sir. Back Wednesday.

• 2:19:01Patrick Bet-David?

  But we are doing an interview tomorrow that possibly could be released Thursday.

• 2:19:05Speaker 04

  Yes, sir.

• 2:19:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, fantastic. So we'll be back on Wednesday for business. God bless everybody. Take care. Bye bye, bye bye.
