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

• 1:17Patrick Bet-David?

  You are a one of one?

• 1:18Speaker 02

  My son's right there.

• 1:19Speaker 04

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

• 1:26Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, so lots going on, lots to cover. And stay tuned because we may be announcing something for us to have dinner together here soon at the one and only place that you know we love, Casa di Angelo. Storywise, I posted a tweet asking a simple question. The question was, if we can find out who gave Zelensky permission to attack Russia, you can solve the whole riddle here of what's going on with Russia-Ukraine. Do you know what happened? Let me tell you. People showed up out of the woodworks, furious with that tweet. And we're definitely going to talk about that because President Trump came out and had an hour and 15-minute call, I believe, with Putin. Talked about the fact that Putin told him he's gonna have to retaliate and with Ukraine.

• 2:11Patrick Bet-David?

  And a lot of people in media in Russia are talking about it that that they're hoping it's nuclear to Kiev. They're almost stoking him to use nuclear weapons, which is not what you want, but anyways, that's the case over there. We'll definitely cover that and talk about it. Trump shifts blame to Jerome Powell after shock. Job report threatens president with worst thing slowdown in years. Trump flipped on us. MAGA reacts to potential national citizen database. We'll talk about that. Trump's finance guru goes to war with American top banker. America's top bankers, you gotta hear that story. Trump says extremely hard to make a deal with Xi. From China as trade stalemate fuels calls for leaders to talk. So he is now publicly saying.

• 2:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Xi's not an easy person to negotiate with. If that's the case, why would you give him the 90 day break? Knowing that he's more patient than you because he cares less about his people than you do. Because we have elections here. They don't have elections. They're just making. Pick and choose who's gonna stay there for a while. So I don't know. I'm really curious to know what happened there. Uh, we talked about the Putin thing, documents wielding Peter Doocy asked Caroline Levitt. Pressing questions about Biden's auto pen signature. By the way, this thing's getting worse and worse and worse. Which there may even be investigating this to see all the pardons that he made. They may backtrack. And you know who's on that? A guy named Fauci. Which is not a good thing. Rand Paul is hoping for that. Probably somewhere in the country sitting there saying. Let's figure this part out. Two Vietnamese Chinese nationals.

• 3:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Charged with smuggling potential agro-terrorism fungus into US DOJ says. That's ABC News. LA court orders Trevor Bauer accuser to pay him $300,000 for settlement violation. I wonder if Rob Manfred is gonna. Be helping Trevor Bauer collect the 250 million dollars that he lost. I'm just curious. Is that gonna be happening or not? Because he lost a lot of money, Trevor Bauer did. He was one of the most exciting players in the MLB. He knew how to agitate, get under the skin. People wanted to watch him. Mickey Mouse Cy Young Award. He would talk shit. He would, he would document his journey. He was doing everything to bring more attention. Like if I was running the MLB. I would love a guy like that because he would bring so much attention. And even the other stuff that happened to him, if the guy's innocent, what are you gonna do?

• 4:24Patrick Bet-David?

  You gotta come and defend him, but we'll see what happened there. Winning championships around the world. Tom, it's above my pay grade. I'm just, I'm just, you know, smaller than a guy here trying to give my thoughts on this, but what I like about what Trevor is doing is he's keeping up a good attitude and still playing in the game that he loves. According to study, young men are not mentally ill enough to vote Democratic. Say that again? Let me read it one more time. According to study, young men are not mentally ill enough to vote for Democrats.

• 4:52Speaker 05

  So, once I get crazier, I might be able to vote for Democrats?

• 4:55Patrick Bet-David?

  This was a story about Outkast, so we'll see what they're talking about. More depressed than crazy. Dem lambasted for saying we're not going to have anyone around to wipe our asses without more immigration. Damn. Joe Walsh, you guys remember Joe Walsh? Who claimed he's not a Democrat? The non-Democrat Democrat? The guy that said he's not a Democrat. He's six feet, three feet. He officially came out publicly and announced he's a Democrat. He came out on Pride Month? No, no, he finally said it on Pride Month. Oh, I love that. Isn't that amazing? Holy, well, congratulations, Joe. I thought I was only like thinking it's a sentimental, noble moment for him. Yeah. You too. I almost cried, but he's straight, guys. Let's not play that game, but he is a Democrat.

• 5:29Speaker 05

  No, no, we're not playing that.

• 5:30Patrick Bet-David?

  But he is a Democrat official.

• 5:31Speaker 05

  Adam, whatever people do in their bedroom, that's fine.

• 5:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Conversation, all I'm saying is Joe Walsh finally came out and he said he's a Democrat. Yeah, he's a proud, wait, Pride Month, you can be proud about that, I'm proud of him. Adam's a little bit upset this morning. Wall Street is sounding the alarm on US debt this time, it's worth listening to. LA City Council passes budget that trims police fire spending. Tom's been asking for this story for the last three podcasts, we're committed to covering it today and we will get to it. California residents enraged by driverless cars forced by regulators to make loud beeping noises. Rob, do we have a video on this or what it sounds like? We have to show it, California, they just wanna piss you guys off to leave that place. Completely made up, Chris Cuomo shrugs off illegal immigrant murder Americans as artificial. Did we cover this or we didn't cover this? No, it's unbelievable. I know Vinnie wants to say a couple. Vinnie's wanted that one for three days.

• 6:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Dave Portnoy on his podcast, something happened, he got upset because when they were doing the pizza stuff, somebody screamed from the back and then he reacted with one of his co-hosts talking about it, it's pretty intense, we'll talk about that as well. It's a conniption. Disney slashing hundreds of jobs in film TV as Hollywood facing industry turmoil. And Hollywood has left Los Angeles and we got a couple other stories here about Trump's national ban on 12. Countries and Corrine Jean-Pierre has officially left the Democratic Party, folks. It's devastating, but it happened. USA Education Department threatens Columbia University accreditation over campus anti-Semitism concerns, and we will comment on what's going on with the nuclear negotiation. Having said that, let me get right into it.

• 7:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Last year, we ran one of the coolest contests ever. And I thought it was gonna be a basic dinner and meet and greet and all this other stuff. It turned into a massive spectacle. It was a MENAAC contest for two months for lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight, and super heavyweight, and even users got involved. And we invited the top three. You pay your flight, hotel, all that stuff. But once you came here, we went to dinner together at Casa di Angelo, top-notch dinner. Then we went to the cigar lounge, and it was such a great time. We stayed together till midnight. We had six and a half hours of conversations. I'm gonna show you the highlight from last year. Then, I wanna announce this contest for all of you guys to compete in from June to July, and the dinner will be sometime in August. Rob, play this clip. Go for it. We just had our first MENAAC dinner.

• 7:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you, it was so awesome because we had the dinner. It was absolutely an amazing experience.

• 7:53Patrick Bet-David?

  The conversations, the networking, great.

• 7:58Patrick Bet-David?

  People from all over the world. So I said, maybe I'll stick around for an hour, maybe an hour and a half, but then afterward, we came right here at the cigar lounge. I stayed till midnight. We had six and a half hours of conversations. It was awesome. That was fantastic. So if you weren't there, you missed it. We wish you were there, but I'll give you one counsel.

• 8:24Patrick Bet-David?

  We're about to announce the next contest. Do not miss the next MENAAC contest. And I hope to see you there.

• 8:34Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, it was so great, deals were done, relationships were built, conversations. So go download the app if you haven't yet, whether it's Apple or Google. Start Manecting, ask questions. Nowadays, we got Ray Lewis that's officially on Manect, and was responding back to people on Manect. By the way, Stephen A. Smith's gonna get active on Manect on today or tomorrow, starting his account where people can ask Stephen A. questions. James O'Keefe. Anna Kasparian, James O'Keefe, Paul Saladino, Terrence Howard, Cuomo, there are so many great people. Lyndy Lee is crushing it. Killing it. On Manect, the way that it's going. And by the way, who knows who's gonna be at this dinner when we host it. So if you like good conversations, if you wanna come to South Florida, we're gonna probably give you a tour to headquarters as well when you come down here, then go straight to dinner, then go straight to the cigar lounge, which is a private club, but some of you guys

• 9:18Patrick Bet-David?

  will have a chance to be a part of it. And by then, we have a lot of new surprises with the private club, so you'll get a chance to tour as well. So, download the app, start Manecting, start competing. The update on the Leaders Bulletin will be on manect.com. Rob, if you go to manect.com, just go to manect.com, and if you look at the contest, on the experts, that's how it works, okay? If you look at a lightweight right now, at the top is Dean Mason, James O'Keefe right now is second place, then it's Luis Cancion. Go to a middleweight, Rob. Middleweight right now is John Mason, then Lily Tam, then it's James Murphy. Let's go to heavyweight, heavyweight, because everybody from heavyweight goes to super heavyweight, so it's Daniel number one. Daniel. Michael Ma, Matt Sapala, then it's super heavyweight is what? Super heavyweight is Lyndy Lee, myself, Timothy Ryan, O'Shaughnessy Tom Sauce, Dennis Punnam, and a couple other

• 10:02Patrick Bet-David?

  guys. By the way, the scoring will be the following. To compete the next two months, lightweight will have to do a minimum of 200 points. You have to be lightweight today. You can go up, but we're gonna calculate your points from today. Middleweight, you have to do a minimum of 400. Heavyweight is a minimum of 400 points, and super heavyweight has to be 1,500 points. And the users contest, go to users, Rob. A new user goes out there, 200 points you score, new users. Existing user has to be 400 points, you'll be invited to that dinner and that cigar lounge with us. Go download the app, start Manecting today. All right, let's get right into it.

• 10:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Topic of discussion, which one do we want to start off with? Let's start off with the Ukraine one. Rob, can you pull up the tweet? If you don't mind, and I'm gonna read what Trump said after a conversation he had with Putin. So this is the tweet. You guys, if you watched the podcast on Tuesday, I said this. Who gave Zelensky the authority to attack Russia? Especially after the minerals deal and the desire for a peace deal? There's no way he attacks 40 Russian bombers in the way that he did without having someone's backing. The answer to this question solves the riddle. So this gets 2.9 million views. Not a lot of people happy. I want to react to some of the comments that were below. So there's a lady named Kate. I believe she's probably from Ukraine. She says, "It was me. I gave him the authority and millions of other Ukrainians when we elected him." Question though is, who gave you an authority to speak nonsense? Great point.

• 11:22Patrick Bet-David?

  And I responded back and I told her, "You're so cute. You gave him permission. Isn't that awesome? I'm sure his puppet masters are very happy with you. Have a wonderful day sweetheart." So go to the next one, Rob, if you can. Grok asked the question, "What happened here?" And he says, "Hey, what do you think is, uh, they says, 'Zelensky likely authorized the June 1st, 2025 attack on a Russian air bases as Ukraine commander in chief. With the operation executed by the SBU's, no direct evidence shows that US or NATO authorization, but general support like, can you show more? April 2025, uh, Ukraine minerals deal may have emboldened Ukraine. The attack targeting bombers used against Ukrainian cities aligned with self-defense under international law. Controversy persists over implicit external backing." So if you go a little lower, a couple of other guys kept saying things like, you know,

• 12:07Patrick Bet-David?

  "Keep going, keep going, keep going." Let's see if we can find some of these guys that came back with real harsh commentary. And by the way, I totally understand what they're saying. One guy said, um, if you, if you go back, Rob, I'll explain why I said this. Permission. So why did I say permission? Rob, can you Google what countries have the strongest military power in the world? Type in top 100. Top 100 strongest military in the world, if you could. Top 100. Top 100, there you go. Watch this here, okay? If you go to top 100, not top 10, top 100 matters. Top 10 doesn't give us the answer. There's this, right there, you can go to the next one, Rob. Go a little lower, right there, that's his military strength ranking. Okay. Zoom out a little bit so we can see it. Zoom in a little bit so we can see it, Rob. So number one is US.

• 12:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Who's number two? Russia. Okay. Does Russia need anyone's help to go to war? No, they have their own weapons. They're number two in the world, okay? Does China need anyone's permission? No. Does India need anyone's permission? A little bit. Maybe not necessarily. They need support, but not necessarily. How about South Korea if they want to do anything with the other guys? UK probably needs NATO's help. Keep going lower, keep going lower, keep going lower. Where's Ukraine here? Keep going lower, keep going lower, keep going lower. Number 20. 20. You know what Ukraine needs? Help. And by the way, when guys that say things like the following, "Let me tell you, isn't it impressive that Ukraine stood up against Russia?" No, they didn't.

• 13:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Ukraine, Germany, NATO, US, everybody that gave them weapons got Ukraine to stand up against Russia. Not Ukraine directly against Russia. This whole nonsense about the fact that Ukraine is showing so much strength, they're not. It's Ukraine, US, Biden, Germany, France, NATO that's showing strength, not UK alone. Can you imagine if this war was Ukraine alone and nobody gave them weapons? It would be over in a week. Exactly your point. So the point is when people say, "It's because our leader decided to do this." No, your leader didn't decide to do this. Your leader went around the world begging for money and weapons. And other countries empowered your leader to do what he did. Other countries, not him. So then Trump has a phone call with Putin and he says the following, Rob, if you can go to it.

• 14:19Patrick Bet-David?

  It's right after my tweet, by the way. It's right above my tweet, Rob. So if you don't mind going to the tweet, because I want to also point out what some people commented on the bottom of it. If you can just go back there, you go right there. And I posted, I said what? Not good. So watch this. I just finished speaking by telephone with Vladimir Putin of Russia, President Vladimir Putin. The call lasted approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes by Ukraine and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace. President Putin did say in very strongly that he will have to respond to recent attack on the airfields. We also discussed Iran and the fact that time is running out of Iran's decision pertaining nuclear weapons, which must be quickly, uh, made quickly.

• 15:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. And on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Trump, President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could perhaps be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slow-walking their decision on this very important matter. And we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time. So I put at the top, "Not good." Go to the bottom, Rob, on one of the comments. Somebody said, "You scared." And my comment was, "Concern for innocent families who live in Russia and Ukraine." This isn't good for anybody, by the way. This could get very ugly, very nasty for a lot of people. Trust me, you don't want that if you live in Russia. You don't want that if you live in Ukraine. You don't want that if you live in America. You don't want that if you live in the Middle East. You don't want that if you're part of NATO, UK, any of those guys. Nobody wants this.

• 15:49Patrick Bet-David?

  But it looks like something's about to happen. So my thoughts.

• 15:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Question I want to ask you is the following. Adam, Tom, Vinny, do you think, because there was an element of, when I said, "If the president doesn't respond back," they knew that this was gonna happen, okay?

• 16:07Speaker 05

  Meaning Trump.

• 16:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Meaning Trump had intel. Now, I'm still convinced they had intel that this was gonna happen. I'm convinced they knew this was gonna take place.

• 16:12Speaker 05

  You think Trump knew that this is...

• 16:14Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm convinced that they knew this was gonna take place, okay? The 40 bombers that they attacked Ukraine. I'm convinced they knew about that. Because whose weapons are they using to attack them anyways? Not like it's Ukrainian technology, they're buying it from somebody. So I'm convinced they knew. But the question is, do you think President Trump posting on X what Putin said that they're gonna be attacking Ukraine, do you think that's a good thing? Do you think he asked Putin, "Are you okay if I publicly announce this?" Do you think Putin knew he was gonna post this publicly? What do you think about that? And at this point, since it's been 48 hours since this moment here, has your position changed? Has anything changed with new stories telling? Where are you at with this?

• 16:57Tom Ellsworth?

  I still think number six and seven on the military strength chart, the UK and France, were the ones that gave the nod on this. I believe that because when that whole debacle broke down in the Oval Office and the screaming match with J.D. Vance and everything, and we said, "We will not be your backstop," because he said, "I'm only signing the minerals deal if you agree to be the backstop," which effectively puts Ukraine in NATO, right, Vinnie?

• 17:23Speaker 07

  Yep.

• 17:23Tom Ellsworth?

  And he said, "No, we're not going to do that. I'm not going to put American lives and American technology in a direct war with Russia because five minutes after you leave here, you're going to do a skirmish, and if I'm your backstop, now I'm technically at war with Russia, and I'm already at a proxy war through my military defense complex. He keeps shipping things." So where did he go? Starmer Macron. And we saw him walk in there. They embraced him. Remember, two days later, he's over there, "Oh, I'm so sorry about the Oval Office. We're with you, and we're giving you money, and it's going to be a loan. Part of it's a loan." I still believe that the UK and France want the war with Ukraine to push Russia back,

• 18:06Tom Ellsworth?

  and I believe they were part of the green light on this because they split with the US on the foreign policy after that meeting in the Oval Office. That's what I think.

• 18:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, your thoughts?

• 18:16Adam Sosnick?

  So, the question is, who gave Zelensky the authority to do this attack? Right?

• 18:24Patrick Bet-David?

  That's one of the parts. The other one is publicly announcing, which Tom didn't cover, the fact that, do you think it's a good move to publicize a world leader you're trying to negotiate with their next moves? Do you think that permission was asked? Do you think that's a good thing? And do you have any other thoughts on this, on what's evolved the last 40 years?

• 18:42Adam Sosnick?

  So, this negotiation, right? So, Trump is famous for writing what book? The Art of the Deal. So, what I want to know is what's going on, is what are the terms of this deal? I'm pretty, I'm pretty certain about a few things, and you tell me if I'm wrong. Pretty sure that Putin is the bad guy. Despite a lot of people not liking Zelensky. I'm pretty sure that Zelensky has been sort of a puppet. Whether that's by NATO, whether that's by the EU, whether that's by the United States. I'm pretty sure that without our help, he'd be a goner and so would Ukraine. But I know this one thing. Follow the money, right? The whole conversation about NATO was every country has to do what? Put in 2% of their GDP.

• 19:28Adam Sosnick?

  Is that right, Tom? 2%. Yes or no?

• 19:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Some more, some less. I think US is at 3.2%.

• 19:34Adam Sosnick?

  No, no, no. Yeah, you're right. What you're supposed to do is 2%. But who's putting in more? This is my point. Look at all the countries who have the most to lose, who are the most concerned about Russia. Poland, our friend, um, Zemit, what's his name? Dominic. Dominic, Dominic Torzinski. They're putting in 4.2%. That's the most in the world. They're next up in Russia. If Russia does want to dominate Europe. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, all well above 2% in the 3% to 4% range. Germany, UK, France, Denmark, even Turkey, all in the 2% range. Then you have countries like Canada, Italy, Spain, not paying their fair share. Here's the deal.

• 20:18Adam Sosnick?

  These countries would not be spending this much money on their defense if this wasn't a massive concern. So I know in America here, we actually tend not to give two shits about Ukraine these days. But the people in Europe do.

• 20:31Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't think that's the case, Adam.

• 20:33Adam Sosnick?

  I think the American people are over this.

• 20:36Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, I think you would be amazed what a big faction of America still supports Ukraine and hates Russia.

• 20:44Adam Sosnick?

  I don't see one college protest. I don't see one Ukraine pin. I don't see one, I see gays for Gaza everywhere. I see nothing about Ukraine.

• 20:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Don't confuse those two. Do I think Americans are burned out with this nonsense Ukraine-Russia thing? Yes. Do I think Americans are sitting there siding with Putin? No. I think a lot of academia, I think a lot of college, I think a lot of mainstream media. I think a lot, and by the way, I think a percentage of conservatives even are still siding with Zelensky. I think they are.

• 21:15Adam Sosnick?

  Why wouldn't they be?

• 21:17Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you mean, why wouldn't they be? No, it's not why wouldn't they be. I'm only addressing that you said people don't like Zelensky in America.

• 21:24Adam Sosnick?

  I think people are over the begging, but. And the money that we've given? If you had to say, who's the bad guy here? Is it Ukraine or is it Russia? I mean, my instincts are saying, no, it's Putin. Putin is the most dictatorial leader in all of Europe. In all of Europe. They're the most corrupt country in all of Europe. They, what country has aspirations for, I don't even know if it's global domination, but at least European domination? This whole like Reagan would be turning in his grave if he heard that Republicans were all of a sudden siding with Russia and Putin over Democratic allies. There's a very weird schism going on here.

• 22:09Adam Sosnick?

  And when Trump dressed him down and disrespected him, which I was an advocate of, in the Oval Office, did he write him off and never talk to him again? Or did two weeks later, did he meet with him and work out a mineral deal? So as annoying and as, I guess feminine as Zelensky is, he's still our ally and Putin is not.

• 22:28Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't think that's, that's what a lot of conservatives are siding with Putin or not.

• 22:33Adam Sosnick?

  I think conservatives are completely confused.

• 22:35Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I don't think they are. I think conservatives want the war to end.

• 22:39Adam Sosnick?

  We all want the war to end, don't we?

• 22:41Patrick Bet-David?

  But that's, but, but guess what? So Zelensky, you, you, you shoot down 40 bombers. You don't want the war to end.

• 22:48Adam Sosnick?

  Of course not.

• 22:49Patrick Bet-David?

  So if, if you're claiming you want peace and you're saying this is an 18 month plan that you're executing, you never wanted peace. So don't act like you wanted peace.

• 23:00Adam Sosnick?

  I, I don't, I can't get in the mind of Zelensky, but I don't think Putin wants peace. So, but it's not like Zelensky did this in an echo chamber. A week before, Trump called Putin crazy because in the middle of, of peace negotiations, Putin started bombing Kiev. So if I punch you and you punch me and I punch you and you punch me and then I punch you again, am I gonna get mad?

• 23:22Patrick Bet-David?

  But watch what you just said right there.

• 23:24Adam Sosnick?

  Sure.

• 23:24Patrick Bet-David?

  What you just said is you said conservatives are defending Putin. Trump just called Putin crazy.

• 23:29Adam Sosnick?

  I'm not, I'm not putting Trump as a conservative in the same category.

• 23:33Patrick Bet-David?

  All I'm saying to you is.

• 23:34Adam Sosnick?

  Trump's an independent.

• 23:35Patrick Bet-David?

  No, what I'm saying to you is, no matter what you talk about on the conservative side or Trump side, what they want is this thing to be done. This thing to be done. But if this keeps going back and forth, we do a minerals deal, you tack back. You don't want to have the meeting, you're playing the games? Yeah, this is going to continue. So for me, I'm sitting here saying, I don't know. Do you, do you really think Zelensky wants the war to be done?

• 24:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you think Zelensky wants the war to be done?

• 24:03Adam Sosnick?

  That's a good question. I mean, my initial gut reaction is like, yes, of course.

• 24:07Patrick Bet-David?

  You think so?

• 24:08Adam Sosnick?

  But I, I, I understand the way that you frame that question. That it's possibly a situation where he wants to prolong it to do what? But, but have you ever, why would he, what would he benefit? That's a good question you're asking.

• 24:18Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't.

• 24:19Adam Sosnick?

  How would he benefit by continuing the war?

• 24:21Patrick Bet-David?

  That's, that's.

• 24:21Adam Sosnick?

  And having his people die?

• 24:22Patrick Bet-David?

  How many people don't want the Ukraine Russia war to be done?

• 24:25Adam Sosnick?

  I think there's a lot of people in the military industrial complex that would love to see this continue.

• 24:29Speaker 05

  That's, that, you just, you just kill, and think, and think about it. Alberto made a good point yesterday on Unusuals. This delayed retaliation from Putin is really weird. He normally, it's like you hit, you hit back. This is completely out of his character. And I'm going to take just a quick, quick, just back. I don't think Putin knows that Trump was going to post, hey, we talked. He said he's going to hit y'all. He's, hey, hey, Ukraine, get ready, but you know, we had a good conversation, but he's still going to attack you. That doesn't, I, I don't think as, as Putin being who Putin is, he's going to be cool with that. And then you have Zelensky coming on camera, what was it, last night, going, hey? I want to talk ceasefire now. Now he wants to talk about it.

• 25:11Speaker 05

  Let's not, let's not forget, by the way, Adam, and everybody, everybody was taught, listen, we know who Putin is. Okay? He kills people that go against him. Let's not compare.

• 25:19Adam Sosnick?

  No, no big deal. We know who he is.

• 25:20Speaker 05

  Adam, Adam, Adam, the country that, Adam, Adam, Adam, the country that you live in, you know, George Bush, you know what he did? He started an illegal war and a million people died. So if we're going to compare who's bad, let's not play that game.

• 25:33Adam Sosnick?

  Putin, George Bush, same thing.

• 25:35Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah. Now let's, Adam, that's a whole nother thing that, trust me, you don't want to get involved with me because I would, you won't win that conversation. You won't win that argument. Do you think, uh, George Bush Junior, uh, belongs in prison for what he did with Iraq?

• 25:46Adam Sosnick?

  He's been the worst president of my lifetime.

• 25:47Speaker 05

  He killed, he killed.

• 25:48Adam Sosnick?

  But, but a president in the United States doesn't go to prison. But go ahead.

• 25:51Speaker 05

  That's, you don't want to get there.

• 25:52Adam Sosnick?

  Putin, it's not a big deal.

• 25:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, a million people Iraq I had friends that died. Adam, you don't care about that. Number one, tough guy, I didn't say any of that. So if you want to use sarcasm, you cannot. You want to use sarcasm to say that I'm defending George W. Bush, try again. You were taught, Adam, how many times have you been wrong? Hillary Clinton, Biden, could you be wrong in this situation that we were taught to hate Putin? Because, Adam. We're all wrong. This is why we say in my opinion. Okay, here's my question to you. But you specialize in being wrong and loud. That's the difference. Tell me how I'm wrong. Go ahead. How am I wrong? Are you trying to tell me that you've never been wrong? No, I'm asking you specifically, how am I wrong? You and the loser American people that were Ukraine pinned, you were duped.

• 26:38Speaker 05

  They were all duped because remember you were here sitting with Kate Colley, whatever her, the English girl. We were giving billions and billions, we had $150 billion given to this idiot. I don't want to give them any money, but how did this war start? How did this war start and when did it start? Under Biden, especially when he came out and goes, you know what? If Russia does a small, little bombing, we're not going to get pissed off. Border incursion. So help us out here. What's your point? This is my point, Adam. This country, all these people, the Lindsey Gramps, all the Mike Pompeo's, they want war. We are a war like country. We've been at war since God knows when, all right? And anytime people wanted to stop war, what happens?

• 27:22Speaker 05

  The last president before Trump, who Trump did get shot in the head. Before Trump, which president didn't want us to go to war? And his head got blown off in front of his wife and in front of the whole freaking world, okay? That's what happens. He, that guy Zelensky is a freaking puppet and we've built his ass up to be this, this man of honor. You know what happens in Ukraine, Adam, conscription? They're running up to people, grabbing husbands and shit and putting them in cars to go fight a war, okay? His own people don't like him, all right? It's a money laundering scheme and now you're messing with Putin who does have nukes. And then he has all these people backing him and it's an ugly situation. I'm not saying Putin's not a bad guy, but Adam, we pushed this guy to start this shit because they kept, what happened with NATO?

• 28:05Speaker 05

  He said, stop coming in. We promise we're not going to keep advancing into NATO, not one inch. Net means net. Remember that? Let me just net you first.

• 28:14Tom Ellsworth?

  Putin should have existed. Putin should have started this, but Putin was provoked. We knew exactly what he was going to do and we poked him.

• 28:22Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, fair enough, not a bad point.

• 28:24Speaker 05

  So you broke them and he started shit, okay now and you expect him not to?

• 28:27Tom Ellsworth?

  And the military industrial complex, war is good for business, here we go.

• 28:31Adam Sosnick?

  What should Ukraine, NATO, United States do when Ukraine was invaded? Nothing? Zero money? Zero troops? Zero aid? Is that your recommendation?

• 28:41Speaker 05

  Provoc- so provoking-

• 28:43Adam Sosnick?

  So when it started, you're like, yep, fuck you, Ukraine.

• 28:45Speaker 05

  So wait, hold on, Adam, here's my thing. You provoked somebody to bomb a country, you provoked, hold on, you provoke a war, of course you have to help them, because all the money and all the defense contractors are American.

• 28:57Adam Sosnick?

  So of course you have to help them.

• 28:59Speaker 05

  You have to, but you started it, so we're F'd either way.

• 29:02Adam Sosnick?

  So all I do, all I'm doing is hearing you explaining and just running in circles. Have you, do you have any solutions?

• 29:07Speaker 05

  How about it should never have started?

• 29:09Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, great, do you have any solutions?

• 29:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, well, Adam, I don't want any support for these guys are fighting. What Trump is doing is what's he supposed to do? Stop the freaking fighting, okay? And he's trying, he's calling one of them crazy, you think he respects this guy too? Zelensky's a fuck, a puppet.

• 29:23Adam Sosnick?

  So I haven't heard, I haven't heard one solution.

• 29:26Tom Ellsworth?

  Let's look back to the question, I didn't answer it, Adam, please stop. Let's look back to Pat's question. I didn't answer it and I'll answer it here. I don't think Trump sets up his, his post, Pat, with anybody. I don't think he told anybody, I think he went, went back, thought about it, and he made his post. I think he does that, and I think that's one of his styles of negotiation.

• 29:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you think he told Putin, "I'm gonna post this"?

• 29:46Tom Ellsworth?

  No, I do not, I do not think he tells anybody. I really don't think he tells anybody. I think he goes and thinks about it and says, "You know what? This is what I'm gonna say." Because if you hear the things he says about Powell, about this, about that, you would imagine if he goes to a consensus of advisors, there's probably a lot of people gonna say, "Mr. President, don't do that." But I think he goes back and says, "Nope, this is the way I'm gonna do it, this is what I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go." So I don't think, I don't think he cleared it with Putin, or even talked about it with Putin. What do you think, Ben?

• 30:11Speaker 05

  I don't, I don't think so at all. When Trump, remember when, when reporters even asked Trump about, "Hey, are you, are you gonna strike, are you gonna..." He's like, "Why would I talk to my, to you about my plans? Why would I, why would I tell you?" And the same situation, Pat, I, I wanna know your opinion, do you think- Putin knew or is cool with Trump posting like hey we had a good conversation oh but by the way he's going to retaliate letting them know that like giving them a heads up you think he knew you think Putin knows that this guy posted that or gave him the okay

• 30:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Look I I I don't I don't know about you know like if I'm telling you I'm gonna attack and you posted without telling me that you're gonna post it

• 30:55Patrick Bet-David?

  I I don't I don't I don't know I don't know if you do that I think you're gonna say hey let's wanna let you know I'm I have to tweet about this and I'm gonna put it out because the world needs to know and it says no problem do it okay great just so you know I'm gonna say this alright do it versus you reveal the enemies attack publicly to the world I don't know I I don't know you know the only thing that I see that the right move there is that you told him that you were gonna do this and then it's like okay great yeah do it I want you to say publicly they

• 31:37Patrick Bet-David?

  need to know okay cool then that's what I'm gonna do they need to know that I'm gonna attack to them because this is they cannot do something like this no problem I don't see it being the way that it is or the way that the decision was made but we're gonna see what's gonna happen here I mean the reality of it is if he said he's gonna attack by the way the entire media if if you go on CNN's Instagram account Rob and you know if you go on CNN if you if you wanna some you know for me I I watch both sides to see what they're saying about the story if you go to one of the stories let me see if I can find this or not one of the stories was a fellow talking about that the news in Russia the news in Russia

• 32:21Patrick Bet-David?

  They're saying publicly influencers in Russia are saying nuke Kiev. Nuke Kiev. So imagine if influencers in America are telling the president to nuke, nuke, nuke. Right? So Russians are sitting there, they're not happy with what happened and they want retaliation. It's the last thing anybody wants. You want the market to be distracted with all this other stuff and then boom tensions and you have to get involved and if the war gets bigger and bigger, we have to somehow, some way get involved and that's more cost, more money, more debt, more it increasing, more us selling weapons to others that we don't even have right now because we've given so much out.

• 33:01Patrick Bet-David?

  No, we, we are, things are pretty unstable right now when it comes down to things that we have to score away. We need three to four years of just stability of building things structurally here. We don't have it right now. We don't need any kind of distractions. We already have Israel and Hamas going on to add this on top of it. One of these two's gotta stop and neither one of them have stopped yet. It's not a good thing.

• 33:24Adam Sosnick?

  It's getting worse.

• 33:24Patrick Bet-David?

  No, that's what I'm saying. So by the way, and guess what everybody on the left is saying now on Twitter?

• 33:28Adam Sosnick?

  This is it.

• 33:29Patrick Bet-David?

  No, you know what they're saying? What happened to your peace president?

• 33:32Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 33:32Patrick Bet-David?

  What happened to your peace president? What happened to your peace president? And that's exactly what I said the last two days. That they're gonna use this to pin it against them to say, I thought you were gonna be a peace and this is a, this is a black eye.

• 33:44Adam Sosnick?

  But that's fair criticism.

• 33:45Patrick Bet-David?

  It's, it's not about it's fair criticism.

• 33:47Adam Sosnick?

  When you come out and you say, all right, Babe Ruth went to bat and he's like, and he points and basically he's supposed, he says he's gonna hit a homerun. And it's been 150 days and you're, you barely had a hit. Then yeah, people are gonna be like, what happened to the homerun guy, buddy? So as much as I advocate for what Trump is doing and wants peace, he called his shot and he struck out. Let's just call a spade a spade here. It's been 150 plus days since he's been in office. He said he would end the war on day one. And we're further from peace than when he got elected to office. That's the brutal reality of this. And I voted for Trump and I voted for peace, but he didn't do it, bro.

• 34:27Adam Sosnick?

  So we'll see what happens here and you know, I don't think Putin has any interest in concea- Okay, so let me ask you a question. What do you think are Putin's top three goals at this point?

• 34:42Adam Sosnick?

  Putin's top three goals. Yeah, why is Putin doing this? Because I'm pretty sure if he stopped talking Ukraine, Ukraine would stop defending themselves. And be like, alright, truce. It's not like Ukraine is trying to take over Russia. So ask the very simple question. Why is Putin doing this?

• 34:56Patrick Bet-David?

  I think he's pretty public about what he wants to do.

• 34:59Adam Sosnick?

  What does he want to do?

• 35:00Patrick Bet-David?

  He's pretty public about telling NATO, stop trying to force Ukraine to join you.

• 35:05Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, I agree, that's number one.

• 35:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Number one. Number two, he wants to get the east side of Ukraine to say, this is our land.

• 35:11Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 35:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay? That's clear. It's not like it's unclear about that. And I think aside from that, what else would you add to it?

• 35:19Adam Sosnick?

  So the only other thing that I would add to that, I think that you're two out of three. I think the third thing, which is, goes back to my initial point is, I think he wants to put the band back together. I think he wants to do the USSR thing 2.0. That's what, not, no.

• 35:33Patrick Bet-David?

  You can say that.

• 35:34Adam Sosnick?

  Why do you think Poland, Estonia, Latvia, all these countries, Lithuania, that used to be part of the USSR, are doubling their defense budget?

• 35:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, you should.

• 35:43Adam Sosnick?

  If they weren't concerned, they'd be like, yeah, don't worry.

• 35:45Patrick Bet-David?

  No, you should, you should do that.

• 35:47Adam Sosnick?

  So if they're very concerned.

• 35:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's preventative. I just don't know if that's going to be going back to USSR. You, you know how the oligarchs would do, well, you know what the oligarchs of Russia would do to them if we wanted to do that? You know what they would do to them? You know what would happen over there? You don't think, these guys are sitting there, he's got, he, in order for him to continue with his power, he needs the help of the billionaires. Do you think the billionaires are going to want him to go back to communism and the control and capitalism and business leaves and money leaves? No. He, he, he does that, he's gonna lose a lot of the support that he has.

• 36:16Adam Sosnick?

  I generally don't know the answer to this, but I don't think he gives two shits about the oligarchs.

• 36:20Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I think you're right that he doesn't give two shits. But guess what he knows? He needs him. He needs him. You think Trump gets elected without Musk?

• 36:29Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, the difference is, Trump needs money. Putin will take the money. He'll, oh, you know, your company, I own it now. Your boats, I own it now. Your, your riches, your rupees, I own them now.

• 36:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, let's, let's go to next story.

• 36:44Adam Sosnick?

  Putin will take what the hell he wants.

• 36:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's, let's, guys, my goal was in 30 minutes to try to solve this entire problem.

• 36:49Adam Sosnick?

  I think we did it.

• 36:50Patrick Bet-David?

  I just want to let you know, so disappointed with us, but we'll move on to the next story.

• 36:53Adam Sosnick?

  Benny, I have a Ukraine spin for you, boy.

• 36:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, we are, we are definitely.

• 36:56Adam Sosnick?

  I know exactly where you're gonna put it, too.

• 36:57Patrick Bet-David?

  We are definitely moving on.

• 36:58Adam Sosnick?

  Oh my gosh.

• 37:00Patrick Bet-David?

  With this story. Okay, let's go, let's go to economy. Trump shifts blame to Jerome Powell after shock job report threatens president with worse. His hiring slowdown in years. Trump criticized Federal Reserve Jerome Powell after the ADP National Employment Report showed private payrolls increased by only 37,000 jobs in a month that made the lowest since March of 2023. Posting on Truth Social, ADP numbers out too late. Powell must now, must now lower the rate. Trump claimed he is unbelievable. Europe has lowered nine times despite the European Central Bank cutting rates seven times with the latest in mid-April, the weak job report far below the 110,000 job forecast by Reuters economists prompted, damn, that's 30% of it. That's not good.

• 37:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Prompted Trump's pressure on Powell, who has kept interest rates between four and a quarter and four and a half with the Fed stating after May 29 meeting with Trump, Chair Powell did not discuss his expectations for monetary policy except to stress that the path of policy will depend entirely on incoming economic information. Jamie Dimon stated, "The amount of mismanagement is extraordinary," citing high yields and national debt risk. Tom.

• 38:38Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, guess what? I'm siding with the president on this, and let me paint it for you. I'm going to paint you fat. Words talk, but numbers scream. Let's go look at some numbers. So, I pulled together four quick exhibits, Pat, that we can go through this. And if you're watching, and I hope you can see it in video and on there, right, for those of you that are listening. So, the first thing we have CNBC pointing out, they say Trump says too late Powell.

• 39:19Tom Ellsworth?

  But underneath, they talk about facts, things that are happening with European Central Bank cutting rates, and they also talk about jobs. Then, we go over here, Procter & Gamble, take a look here. Headline today, this morning, Procter & Gamble to cut 7,000 jobs. Wow, so I looked at it and I said, well, let's just say, that's one headline, one company, that's certainly a lot of people, but if jobs are being cut and then employment is threatening to go up, that is a very, very, very, very, very good reason to lower interest rates. So then I go, how many, what has been happening with jobs? So I went and took a look, and guess what I found out? It's the, where is that, Rob? You have that? Yeah, right here. There it is. Check this out.

• 40:04Tom Ellsworth?

  May over May, 47% increase in job cuts, May 24 versus May 23, 100,000 cuts in the United States. Walt Disney, TikTok, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Google, Match Group, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, and Bristol & Meyer Squibb. I'm naming things from biotech to retail. So, that's happening. Interesting. Well, you know, that would seem to indicate that maybe Powell should give us a quarter point. Well, when does that happen? Let's look at the European Central Bank. So, this morning, European Central Bank headline, eighth straight cut. So, he said nine times, but the eighth straight cut is coming because Legarde says is forced,

• 40:46Tom Ellsworth?

  and she said she has hit 1.7, 1.8% inflation in Europe, and so we are taking it down. So, take a look right here. Inflation in Europe went down to 2%, and she says, I'm giving you another quarter point. That is the eighth cut in a row. Trump said nine in his tweet, actually it's eight, which means, eight times .25, if you have eight quarters, Vinnie, you have $2. $2. So that's two full points they've cut, eight cuts in a row. Now, we go to the dot plot, Pat. This is very interesting. This is where the Fed Board of Governors are telling us, and the last dot plot they did was in...

• 41:26Tom Ellsworth?

  March, and here it is. They are, right now, our interest rate is 4.25 to 4.5. The dot plot has it, you see the cluster of dots that is drifting down towards 3%? That is where they are actually saying, "Yeah, we think we better get with the program and maybe get set here to make a cut." So now we go to the calendar. Go to the calendar. Federal Open Market. When will they get together? And why is Trump so revved up right now? Oh, June 17th, 18th. Uh-oh. That's a week and a half from now. The Fed will meet. And you've got job reports coming out. You've got the European Central Bank now has their

• 42:10Tom Ellsworth?

  interest rate at 2%, half of ours. We are 4.25, 4.5. They are half, which means the dollar is stronger because it's more expensive. You look at the interest rate. Who's more expensive? That's the stronger currency. And take a look here. I am with the President on this one. Now, the President has been talking to Powell a lot, a lot, a lot. And there were people out there, even CNBC was saying, "He's been so heavy on this. Maybe it's like the boy who cried wolf." But right now, he's not crawling wolf. Because you know what it is? Trump is a business guy. You make deals based on what you see and you read tea leaves. Government is fully reactionary. It goes like this. Trump is a lifeguard. He sees a black shadow in the water out there. He blows the whistle, sounds a horn. Let's find out what

• 42:53Tom Ellsworth?

  the shadow is because it could be a shark. So let's get everybody out of the water, just normal thing at the beach, blow it. However, this is how Powell works. Powell works when he sees a fin in teeth. And everybody gets out of the water and everybody's happy except fat Mr. Johnson, who just got bit because he's the slowest swimmer and it was really a shark. So you see what I mean? That's Powell. Powell waits till he sees the fin in the water and some blood. Trump is out there saying, "I see a black shadow in the water. I don't like it." In this case, right here, I am behind the President 100%. Powell should cut a quarter point coming up next week. Absolutely. Especially on the heels of the numbers and everything that are coming up.

• 43:35Adam Sosnick?

  I don't think Powell will. I think they're thinking about it. I think the dot plot is showing it, but I think they're gonna wait till July 7th to 9th. I think that's the way Powell reads it. I think he'll wait till July 7th to 9th to drop a quarter and we'll get, we'll get early sniffs of second quarter earning reports because you'll right be there on June 30th and we'll probably get some more things. But come on, man. Look at that list of companies. It was biotech, Microsoft, electronics, retail. There's a lot of things happening. And the job cuts in America are up 47% this May versus last May. Come on, man. That's a black shadow in the water. Come on, man. Good job, Tom.

• 44:17Adam Sosnick?

  Shoulda, woulda, coulda. I'm not gonna get into the weeds or in-depth as good as Tom is, but I will explain the relationship between Trump and Powell as best as I can. So there's nothing more that Trump would like to do than yell two words to Jerome Powell and that's, "You're fired." He's threatened him, he's dissed him, he's publicly berated him, he's threatened to fire him, but looky, looky, looky here. Jerome Powell hasn't gone anywhere, has he? Has he conceded to Trump once? Trump is the person that put Powell in charge of the Fed in 2018. How many times has he completely berated him in the public? And has Jerome Powell done

• 44:56Adam Sosnick?

  anything? So here's my opinion. I think Trump is like, they're both driving the car together. Trump, he's all gas, no brakes. We had that guy on the show, Andrew Callahan. Trump is like, "Go faster, cut the rates. We want dynamic growth. Let's go, let's go, let's go." And Jerome Powell's like, "Listen, guy. There's a speed limit here. We're gonna basically try to take it easy. I get it if you want to speed a little bit, but we're gonna stay in the lanes here and we're gonna go exactly what the speed limit should be." And that is the height of the conflict of what's going on here. Trump wants to go fast. All gas, no brakes, and Jerome Powell's basically saying, pump the brakes, buddy. I know you're President of the United States, but I'm President of the central bank, and I'm gonna run this show.

• 45:39Speaker 05

  Do you think he's doing a good job? Because I mean, obviously, Trump hired a bunch of people when he first came in because he didn't know any better. You think it was a good choice to have Powell, or not? Because I mean, the feds, the feds don't answer to anybody, right, Tom? They're their own.

• 45:51Adam Sosnick?

  I think Powell has been a steady hand at the wheel.

• 45:55Speaker 05

  So yeah, so it's a good choice.

• 45:56Adam Sosnick?

  When there's been a lot of chaos in the world.

• 45:57Speaker 05

  So, good choice.

• 45:58Adam Sosnick?

  I'd give him a B+.

• 45:59Speaker 05

  What do you think?

• 45:59Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't think Jerome, like, you know, some of these guys get jobs, and they just want to get in front of the camera.

• 46:06Adam Sosnick?

  Of course.

• 46:07Patrick Bet-David?

  That's not the guy.

• 46:08Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, for sure.

• 46:08Patrick Bet-David?

  So he's not doing it because he's trying to come up with a book and say, I'm now an independent. Biden did this.

• 46:13Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 46:14Patrick Bet-David?

  He's not that guy. He's just kinda like, look, man.

• 46:16Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 46:16Patrick Bet-David?

  You asked me to do this job, I'm gonna do my best. It sucks, because you have to deal with Trump, and every day it's gonna call you out, blame everything on you, da-da-da-da-da, but here's what I'm doing. I think the more we wait, the better it is. You know, because it's forcing the market to correct the fake actors. And, and, and, you know, I'm not worried about June or July, because, you know, of course, you'd want June, because June becomes what? Q2. Instead of having a July. July becomes what? Q3. So you may, you know, you may, it may help June if you do the reports this month. Uh, lower the rates this month instead of next month, but I actually don't mind him taking his time. I don't.

• 46:57Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't mind him taking his time. I am more concerned about the stuff that's going on over there with the war than I'm concerned about this.

• 47:02Adam Sosnick?

  Absolutely, I agree with that.

• 47:04Patrick Bet-David?

  We can wait one more month. We can wait one more month before we get there. And, by the way, you know what's crazy? If I was Trump, I'd be doing exactly the same thing I'm doing. Hurry up and lower the rates. But as a consumer, that I'm not the President, guess what? I'm saying, it's okay if we go one more month. So I, I, I, I'm supportive of both sides.

• 47:22Adam Sosnick?

  Would you agree with one thing?

• 47:23Tom Ellsworth?

  You don't hear me like this. You don't hear me...

• 47:25Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I, I get, and by the way, you made a very eloquent argument on all our numbers. If we're at four and a quarter, four and a half, E-Europe is at two points. Half of us, and of course, the dollar is strong, because they used to talk about how weak the dollar was. Not the dollar is strong, but... You don't want to come a little bit lower? Like a little bit? You think a quarter or a half is gonna do anything? No, do it. I get that argument. But we can wait one more month, so.

• 47:47Adam Sosnick?

  How much influence would you say, between zero and a hundred, Trump actually has on Powell?

• 47:53Patrick Bet-David?

  10%.

• 47:54Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I think that's even a high number.

• 47:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, 10%.

• 47:57Adam Sosnick?

  I, I just, there's no indications that Powell has listened to Trump.

• 48:00Patrick Bet-David?

  No. I don't think Powell goes to sleep being worried about getting fired.

• 48:03Adam Sosnick?

  Not at all.

• 48:04Patrick Bet-David?

  No, I don't think he cares. And, and not in an arrogant way. Not in a Comey way. Not in a Hillary way. I just don't think he cares. He's like, look, you asked me to do this job. He probably was raised good by his parents, that he's got pride in his job and his duties and his country and all that stuff. And he wants to do his job right, and I'm okay with that.

• 48:22Adam Sosnick?

  You remember when he started talking trash about Trump?

• 48:25Patrick Bet-David?

  When is that?

• 48:25Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly, it never happened. He just keeps quiet.

• 48:27Patrick Bet-David?

  It's not him. It's not his style. Let me go to the next one, guys. California. L.A. City Council passes budget that trims police and fire spending. So as if that's place is getting safer and safer, they decide to trim some more to make the place even more unsafe. Rob, if you got the clip. The L.A. City Council approved a $13.9 billion budget on Friday, reducing Mayor Karen Bass's proposed public safety spending and trimming layoffs from 1,600 to roughly 700, with Councilmember Enes Hernandez stating, "We are in one of the most difficult financial crises that the city has seen in decades." So every department put in an effort to make sure the city could stay afloat. The budget limits new hiring in L.A. Department, uh, uh,

• 49:09Patrick Bet-David?

  L.A. Police Department to 240 officers and Fire Department to 60 employees, far below Bass's 480 and 227, facing a nearly $800 million deficit. The budget restores funding for programs like the Cultural Affairs Department and streetlight repairs, while Matthew Zabo, the city administrator officer, warned in March that L.A. faces a fiscal crisis due to a surge in legal settlements, lower-than-expected tax collections, and mounting personal costs. Billionaire developer Rick Caruso criticized the cuts, asking, "Look around you. Do we need less firefighters?" And noting, "Now we all have the lowest, now we have, we will have the lowest amount of police per capita in the history of the city." Rob, play this clip.

• 49:55Patrick Bet-David?

  We have Councilmember Park, Councilmember Lee.

• 49:57Speaker 09

  What's this one here, Rob? This is the city council meeting where they're discussing lower, I'm sorry, where they're discussing the, um... Budget? Yeah, the budget, and there's a city council person who goes off on the council for even considering the budget. She goes, I mean, it's a four-minute clip, and I can play it a little bit faster, but she goes scorched earth on the council. Let me hear.

• 50:16Speaker 10

  At the start of this budget process, we made a promise to maintain core services and minimize impacts to Angelenos. But this budget doesn't reflect those promises. It's bloated with homeless spending, a bottomless pit, and taxpayer boondoggle that doubles down on failure year after year. And frankly, at this point, it's just embarrassing. Hundreds of millions of dollars on bridge homes and home keys and interim housing sites, and no one can even tell us which ones are operational and which ones aren't, or how many beds we have. Spending a million and a half dollars per door to build micro-units of housing to give away to homeless drug addicts when the vast majority of our own city employees

• 50:59Speaker 10

  can never afford a condo at that price. Lhasa is in a free-for-all, literally no one is able to account for the billions we flush down the toilet, the county wisely pulling out, while we're over here at the city completely unprepared and so unable to manage our own homeless affairs that were about to be placed in receivership by a federal judge. Again, it's embarrassing. I don't think we should agree to spend another penny on homelessness until we, as a full council, not just the few of you who get invited into the conversation, have the chance to chime in and actually cast a vote on whether we're finally getting a divorce from Lhasa and what the future of homeless services delivery looks like in L.A. But instead of fixing that mess, what did we decide to go after? The increase we

• 51:40Speaker 10

  gave our fire department? After all, we literally just witnessed in January with our own eyes how desperately in need they are with literally half the staffing and funding they should have for a fire department in a city of our size. There are still 100 rigs sitting over at the boneyard, but we're sitting here unable to say yes to the mechanics that we need to fix them. We're shrinking LAPD in favor of expanding other programs that haven't been effective, and we're doing it right on the cusp of major world events and in the midst of a crime and homelessness crisis while our residents continue to be victimized in a city where the former deputy mayor just pled guilty to calling in bomb threats to City Hall. That's the state of our city. Going after our neighborhood councils? The people who volunteer their time? To help guide us and do good things in our neighborhood and in our city.

• 52:25Speaker 10

  All of our residents and taxpayers, all they want is a fully funded police and fire department. They want the sidewalks fixed. They want the streetlights to work and they want their kids to be able to play at the local park without having to step over drug and trash camps. We are down rabbit holes of spending on things that no one cares about. We haven't eliminated the price gouging that we do to ourselves.

• 52:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Wow.

• 52:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Is she a Republican or Democrat?

• 52:46Tom Ellsworth?

  You can pause it.

• 52:47Patrick Bet-David?

  She's a Republican or Democrat?

• 52:48Speaker 09

  I'll have to check on that. Her name is Tracy Park. She is a city council member with Los Angeles.

• 52:54Tom Ellsworth?

  Tom, your thoughts on this? So I'll tell you what's going on. Karen Bass is a Marxist. I will say it and I'm not calling names. I'm describing what I see based on her policies and her history. She's a Marxist. But guess what happens, Vinnie? On June 2nd, 2026. What? The mayor election in LA will be June 2nd, 2026. We are now one year from the election and one year for the election, suddenly Karen Bass wakes up in the morning and walks into City Hall with exactly what these people have been asking for, what Tracy Park and people have been asking for. This was not Karen Bass. Karen Bass cut the fire department.

• 53:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Karen Bass put that individual in the fire department that we saw. And I don't know for certain her orientation where she was, but she self describes, but it was a DEI hire apparently. And so Karen Bass put all that in place. Karen Bass cut the funding. Karen Bass invented the bridge homes. You heard her say "bridge home." You know what that is? Giving you an REI tent to sleep next to a freeway, says, "in a tent underneath the bridge so when it rarely rains, when it does rain in LA, you don't get rained on." Those are the programs. And so talking about all this million dollar condos, Karen Bass was a Marxist trying to build a socialist LA where we build everything for you. And guess what?

• 54:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Now, a year from reelection, suddenly Karen Bass, you know, gets religion.

• 54:25Adam Sosnick?

  And comes back with this budget, but guess what? All of her Marxist buddies on the city council, you know what they said? No, no, no, no, no, you may be running for reelection, but we're still Marxist and there's still more of us and we're moving and we're changing this and we're voting the other way. And that's what the city council did. Welcome to Moscow, California.

  Hey Mitch, you've been trying to take down these games from the start.

• 55:23Speaker 11

  Film for IMAX.

• 55:24Speaker 12

  Make them remember you.

• 55:27Speaker 11

  The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Leaping, November 20th, rated PG-13.

• 55:35Adam Sosnick?

  Adam. Look, brace for impact because I'm going to offend some people that love California. I don't give two shits about California at this point. I mean, I used to go there every summer for 10 years. And then during COVID, I stopped going. And to see what Los Angeles, San Francisco, California has turned into? Good luck figuring it out. I mean, there's a part of me that's like, burn it down and start over. Oh, that almost happened. So the taxes, the cost of living, the unaffordability of the housing, the homelessness, oh, excuse me, not homelessness, the unhoused, because I don't want to offend anybody right there. The budget concerns, the regulations, the mental health, the stepping over drugs and poop

• 56:20Adam Sosnick?

  in the streets, the actual poop maps, the crime, the mental health, the fires almost burned on your city, and I'm here in Miami and I'm like, why should I care about what you got going on at all? Because you want to do the same thing, want to have the same policies, you want to elect the same officials, you want the same people? And what's the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and over again? And expecting different results? Excuse me if I just enjoy the free state of Florida and love living in Miami and wish you the best in California. I don't give a shit.

• 56:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, thank you for your sentiment.

• 56:55Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 56:56Patrick Bet-David?

  That was very emotional and powerful and life-changing and encouraging.

• 57:00Adam Sosnick?

  Anyway, I'll be in LA this weekend if you want to come check me out at the LA Improv.

• 57:04Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what is crazy, though? It's crazy when liberals start fighting liberal policies, realizing those liberal policies are what destroyed their liberal city. And Tracy Park is a Democrat.

• 57:17Adam Sosnick?

  Yep.

• 57:18Patrick Bet-David?

  That's supported a lot of these policies, that's got the state to be in the situation that's in right now. And can you go to her Wikipedia? Let me just read to see what her background is, because that talk she just gave was powerful. Zoom in a little bit. Okay, Regent of Politics, had certain memory, L.A. City for eleven, having entered race to challenge Mike Bonin, who became foreign runner, opened some civil rights. Park was raised in Downey, California, Apple Valley, California. Her mother was a school secretary. Park graduated John Hopkins University in 97, bachelor's degree in history, out of law school. Okay, she went to good schools. So, jurist in 2009. Brooklyn Source of Law from public entities. Park entered politics in 2020, when she organized to block the city of L.A. from converting a Ramada Inn in her street.

• 57:59Adam Sosnick?

  To Ramada.

• 57:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Ramada Inn for homeless people. In July of 2021, Park announced her candidacy, L.A. Council opened on seat to popular Mike Bonin.

• 58:08Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, I see what she did.

• 58:10Patrick Bet-David?

  After Bonin announced his retirement, the seat became open with Erin Darling becoming the progressive candidate in the race. Both Darling and Park advanced to the general election, with Park narrowly beating Darling in the result. Park was a registered Republican before switching Democratic Party.

• 58:23Adam Sosnick?

  Bingo.

• 58:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Years prior to her campaign, during the campaign, criticized Park for representing City of Manhattan. Okay, so she, City of Manhattan, City employee who accused. Yeah, she went the other way.

• 58:33Adam Sosnick?

  She basically said, I can't get elected as a Republican, so let me convert to a Democrat, but keep my same policies and mindset. And then when I'm in there, and I'm a Democrat now, I'mma go scorched earth on all you idiots.

• 58:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Go a little bit lower.

• 58:47Adam Sosnick?

  And that's what she's doing.

• 58:48Tom Ellsworth?

  And she's always voted not to use public dollars or to make dumb decisions about homelessness. She voted in favor of an ordinance to measure what's aimed to curtail homeless encampments by banning sitting, sleeping, storing property within 500 feet of schools. Because it was people, it was, it was stink, it was filth, it was drug addicts, and she didn't want them near schools. And they were going to use open playgrounds, put supplemental fencing there, so that you have the school over here, and then we're going to sacrifice half of this giant playground.

• 59:13Patrick Bet-David?

  What is her relationship with Caruso? Does she have a relationship with Caruso? Because I know Caruso's a Republican.

• 59:19Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 59:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Acting like a Democrat, just so he could potentially win.

• 59:22Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 59:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, uh, can you see what is the relationship between Tracy Park? Is there a connection with Tracy Park and, uh, uh, what's Caruso's first name?

• 59:33Adam Sosnick?

  Rick.

• 59:34Tom Ellsworth?

  Rick.

• 59:34Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, Rick Caruso.

• 59:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Rick Caruso.

• 59:36Adam Sosnick?

  I'm thinking of Alex Caruso, who's playing in the NBA Finals tonight, my bad.

• 59:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Rick Caruso, who's a stud, by the way.

• 59:41Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 59:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, uh, there's no public domain again, which I'm looking at, I'm talking about the Tracy Parker, Republican, let's have a look at Caruso, lifelong Republican, switched to Democrat. So both of them did the same thing.

• 59:51Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, you gotta do the switch of roles.

• 59:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Both of them went from the Republican to the Democratic side.

• 59:55Adam Sosnick?

  It's like the political version of being trans. Is you gotta make the conversion in order to get in there, and then when you're in there...

• 1:00:02Patrick Bet-David?

  But you don't fully cut it off, like they're, they're...

• 1:00:03Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, in California, you may have to.

• 1:00:05Patrick Bet-David?

  They haven't cut it off yet.

• 1:00:06Tom Ellsworth?

  It's just cross-dressing to get into the club.

• 1:00:08Patrick Bet-David?

  That's what it is.

• 1:00:09Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly.

• 1:00:09Patrick Bet-David?

  All right.

• 1:00:10Adam Sosnick?

  Tom knows all about that, great metaphor.

• 1:00:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Some people have limits.

• 1:00:13Tom Ellsworth?

  I grew up, grew up in LA, the things you had to do.

• 1:00:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:00:16Adam Sosnick?

  What did you do exactly, Tom?

• 1:00:17Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, let me go to this next story here, completely made up. Chris, Chris Cuomo shrugs off illegal immigrants murdering Americans as artificial issue. This was a few days ago. Vinny, we never reacted to, but I want to play this clip that, uh, here's a clip, Cuomo before and after, go ahead, Rob.

• 1:00:33Speaker 13

  We are fighting over culture issues and controversies that are completely made up. We divide this country over a single homicide of somebody, and it's absolutely wrong. What happened to Lake and Riley is horrible, it's one too many, any way you want to look at it. But it is also an artificial, uh, issue. Of course, these actions are against the law. Of course, they're not what we want to see.

• 1:01:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell me about George Floyd.

• 1:01:01Speaker 13

  But we in the majority cannot allow ourselves to be corrupted by toxic talk about the correct way to express that pain. Please don't just see the death of George Floyd, see all of it. Yes, this one is on video. And yes, it's so obvious, so that you can say, well, this one I get. It's not just this one.

• 1:01:23Speaker 05

  I love Chris, but he is literally a walking contradiction. And if he sees this, Chris, I love you to death, but come on. From all the stuff from Russia collusion to COVID to calling unvaccinated people the real enemies. And it's like, how dare you say some stupid shit? Like, this is a made up cultural issue? And it shouldn't divide us over a single, single homicide. He's talking about Lake and Riley, okay? First of all, after he says this, days later, days later, and you guys know this, an illegal immigrant in Boulder, Colorado, started chucking Molotov cocktails and a flamethrower at Holocaust survivor women.

• 1:02:07Speaker 05

  Do you guys, like, let's just, let's all get there, okay? That the Biden administration let in, okay? This isn't a cultural issue. These are just facts, okay? Americans are dying, families are being destroyed. The only reason it isn't bigger, and this is my opinion, is that the elites, the Democrat elites, just like Chris, and Chris is one of the elites, they haven't had any of this shit happen to their daughters or their wives. And I'm saying this, God forbid, and I hope God, and I hope he understands what I'm saying, God forbid, something like this pet happens to one of Chris's daughters? Or Chris's, they, they, they get the same fate as Lake and Riley, who's jogging and whatever, and then they get, you know, beaten and raped and all that type of stuff, okay?

• 1:02:52Speaker 05

  I guarantee you, you change it, and it's not gonna be a single homicide at this point, okay? And just to prove my point even more, on May 2nd, in Lancaster, South Carol, uh, Carolina, six illegals, this is recent, this is just recent, May 2nd, last month, uh, six illegals, aged 13 to 21, shot and killed a mother during a failed robbery. After they murdered her, they texted, "Mission failed." And then said, "This is, this is just the beginning. The same group was tied to a burglary days earlier, and they used the same gun. No remorse, no accountability." And this is recent as well. Florida cops just arrested a 37-year-old illegal for molesting teen girls that the Biden administration

• 1:03:35Speaker 05

  handed over as part of their so-called unaccompanied minor policy. Okay, these kids were placed in homes of random adults. So no DNA test, no ID check, none of that shit, no criminal background. Uh, just hook up for a picture of some foreign ID texted in a rubber stamp. That's how these people are working, okay? This is, this is that mindset and I don't understand how you can say something like it's a single issue. How many times during Biden's administration, we heard of American children, American women, getting either beat or raped by illegals? And he's saying it's a single issue? Shame on you, Chris. Shame on you for saying some stupid shit like that. And I hate to be the guy to say it.

• 1:04:18Speaker 05

  These people talk like this, Pat, because it's never happened to anybody in their family. Same, I told you, I said this story before. My cousin, he was rea- they're pro-open border, let everybody come in. Then they get rear-ended by, by an illegal that had no insurance. God forbid, one of my cousin's, uh, kids got freaking hurt or something. And these people act like it's, it's nothing.

• 1:04:40Patrick Bet-David?

  What happened there? What happened with your cousin?

• 1:04:42Speaker 05

  No, they got rear-ended, but the attitude was like, nah, like the attitude changes. The attitude changes. They still support the open border, but they're like, eh, these things happen, I have insurance.

• 1:04:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Do we have a wider clip of what he says, Rob? Because I, I want the context on how he breaks it down.

• 1:04:56Speaker 09

  Yep, this is a 52-second clip.

• 1:04:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me, let me hear this one because it's, it's kind of like, I want to make sure it's not like the, there's good people on both sides. I, I want to hear that. Go for it.

• 1:05:03Speaker 13

  I change how I feel about the parties. They are the problem. They are the root of this binary battle to the bottom. The division is almost exclusively manufactured. We are fighting over culture issues and controversies that are completely made up. We divide this country over a single homicide of somebody, and it's absolutely wrong. What happened to Lake and Riley is horrible. It's one too many, any way you want to look at it. But it is also an artificial, uh, issue. We have crime issues in this country. Our homicide problem is not from illegal immigrants, okay? Yeah, but there shouldn't be any.

• 1:05:48Speaker 13

  There shouldn't be any of a lot of things that we haven't made a top priority.

• 1:05:53Patrick Bet-David?

  The division is manufactured.

• 1:05:55Speaker 05

  This is, by the way, this is the same guy on your, on the PBD podcast in front of Candace Owens that said, "No, we don't need to check IDs to vote." That, this is the problem. This is the problem. So that is in the context. How is it an issue that's dividing? This is, we, we've been asking for a closed border. His party is pro-open border, okay? And I don't care which, which president, it could be Stephen A., whoever comes in. Pat, let me ask you a question. Stephen A., AOC, Bernie Sanders, Jasmine Crockett, they come in. Do they open the border? Is that one of their first priorities? Is you know what? We're a country, we're open to everybody. Do they open the border back up and reverse Trump?

• 1:06:37Patrick Bet-David?

  First of all, Stephen A. doesn't win, okay? On the Democratic side, because...

• 1:06:41Speaker 05

  If they, if he does, you don't think they're gonna tell him?

• 1:06:42Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, no, hang on a second. You ask the question, I'll give you the answer. Stephen A. Smith doesn't win. Because they want the borders to be opened, to get additional voters in the future. AOC, Bernie, Newsom, Crockett, Pritzker, all of those guys opened the border. Okay? All of those guys opened the border. Uh, Tom, how do you process this with Chris? On the video before and after? Because, you know, George Floyd divided America in a way that now WNBA is celebrating the five-year anniversary of George Floyd's, you know, overdose and, you know, the whole, you know, nine minutes and, you know, all that stuff, right? But how do you process Chris going from where he was at back in the days, the clip, to now where it's at with the Lincoln Riley?

• 1:07:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, so I, I see a couple of things here. And we've had here, we've spoke to Chris on camera, off camera, had a lot of conversations with him. So he is talking about some stats. And the stats he's talking about are out there that say that the immigrants that come to this country, there is a lower percent of certain violent crimes than, you know, um, maybe in communities of color in downtown cities. Where there's color-on-color violence going on in downtown cities. Okay, he's right. He's right. If you want to look at downtown Cleveland and, and gangs and black-on-black violence, unfortunately, tragically, the percent of people involved in crime is greater than

• 1:08:08Tom Ellsworth?

  the percent of people involved in crime if you take this, a number of immigrants and you analyze it. The issue is for, so that...

• 1:08:19Tom Ellsworth?

  He may be right, and I think he's also right that the two parties are trying to split us on issues and use any issue as a wedge. But I think what Americans are incensed about that Chris really needs to embrace is George Floyd was used as a wedge to give an excuse and it was a funded summer riot campaign against conservatives. It was a funded summer riot. It was like a concert tour where they were funded and Antifa and what happened? And so we're all supposed to now sit back. So I see what Chris is doing. It's easy to come afterwards and say, hey, it's a single

• 1:08:58Tom Ellsworth?

  issue, Lincoln Riley, it shouldn't have happened, but we're being split by political forces on this issue. He's right about that. However, when you open the borders and bring it in and you know the trafficking has happened, I don't need to wait for a violent crime by an immigrant to know that the drug trafficking and the human trafficking and the abuse of children that's going on there that may not show up in murder stats is a hell of a reason to close the border and to protect the the kids that are showing up at the border. Where did you come from and why are you here? So that's, that's kind of where I'm at. I see where Chris is going, but you know, what the

• 1:09:42Tom Ellsworth?

  crime that's come across the border, you can talk about violent crime, but the crime that's come across the border and what's happened with the drugs and the kids and the trafficking, it's huge.

• 1:09:52Speaker 05

  And yeah, and Tom, you nailed it. It's like, it's a single homicide thing, like the, the, the open border policy that the last, I might even call it Biden because he had nothing to do

• 1:10:03Tom Ellsworth?

  If Lincoln Riley is a single homicide issue, then George Floyd is a single homicide issue. And there were wedges used. Right, if you want to make that argument.

• 1:10:18Speaker 05

  Yeah, but he, yeah, but great point, but he wasn't saying that. And what I'm saying is, Tom, like, it wasn't just her. Every single week, we were hearing about it and hearing about it and hearing about it. And then to say stuff like, you know, we don't need to check ID to vote. That gives the government more control. And then Pat, we're going to get into these other stories. Like, just the fentanyl alone. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died every single year since Biden came in. And that's not a problem? That's, and then, and then what was it? Was it Washington Post? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Who just said that it was mysteriously, the fentanyl deaths have declined? Who was that? And then, um, uh, the White House Press Secretary was talking crap. They said, it's mysteriously coming down.

• 1:11:00Speaker 05

  And then we're going to talk about the Chinese nationals that are bringing in shit. It's like, what? How, how can you utter those words that it's a single issue? No, no, um, it's, it was an invasion and we still haven't even tasted. Uh, we've, we've gotten hints of how bad it is. Wait until the real people that were giving cell phones, the real terrorists are doing what the hell they're doing. Okay, because even Tom.

• 1:11:22Tom Ellsworth?

  You don't have to wait because they invaded apartments in Colorado outside of.

• 1:11:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, Trenadaqua.

• 1:11:29Tom Ellsworth?

  Uh, Aurora?

• 1:11:30Speaker 05

  In Aurora.

• 1:11:31Tom Ellsworth?

  Was it Aurora?

• 1:11:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:11:32Tom Ellsworth?

  But in Col, and then, and then the sheriff or the chief of police said, no, no, no, no, no. It's, it's a little bit overblown because the governor apparently.

• 1:11:40Adam Sosnick?

  Thoughts.

• 1:11:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Told them to stand down.

• 1:11:41Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:11:42Tom Ellsworth?

  But it was, now later it was, no, no, it really was happening. It did happen.

• 1:11:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:11:45Adam Sosnick?

  They have a base of operation and they're, and they're trafficking in drugs. Yeah.

• 1:11:49Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh.

• 1:11:51Adam Sosnick?

  You good, Tom?

• 1:11:52Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:11:52Adam Sosnick?

  Okay, let me weigh in on this. Chris, um, let me, let me talk some sense to my friend, Chris Cuomo for a second. All right, Chris, you're actually absolutely right. Because, uh, the numbers don't lie, Tom. You know, words talk, numbers scream. Basically, he's saying that the, we, the, the media or these stories have been manufactured. They've been artificially made up. They kind of have, bro. That's a made up story. So, hold on, tough guy. Let me finish my point and then you could start yelling. Um, rest in peace, Lake and Riley. Horrible. But if you actually just follow the numbers, um, immigrants, illegal, documented, undocumented, whatever you want to call it, are actually.

• 1:12:36Adam Sosnick?

  Twice less likely to commit crime or go to jail than the average American citizen. So it's almost like this, remember when we had the guy on who basically said, yeah, you know, I ran all the stats about cops murdering black people. Turns out it's just actually not true. This was a black Harvard professor, right? And it was, yeah, this guy Roland Frye. And all his colleagues were like, dude, dude, dude, dude, don't put this data out there. And he goes, well, let me run it back again to double check my work. And he ran it back again. And what did he find out? Turns out that police officers aren't just murdering, mowing down black people in the United States. The problem is this, native born Americans, American citizens are actually twice as likely

• 1:13:20Adam Sosnick?

  to commit crimes and go to jail than illegal immigrants. However, that is not me justifying having open borders, wanting illegal citizens running around here, not building the wall. I think we still need to do that. But this is the whole, this is the whole thing about villainizing immigrants. They're all coming in here and they're killing everybody. No, these are one off incidents. So for instance, I'll give you one more example. Remember when Trump came out there and said, they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, they're eating the animals. Have we heard anything more about that since the day he was elected? No, because it actually wasn't true. And here's my point, these are all very fricking emotional things, very fricking emotional.

• 1:14:05Adam Sosnick?

  You don't think that Lake and Riley, when something like that happens, doesn't pull at everyone's heartstrings? It goes, what the is going on here? Gets very, I could totally understand why you would get completely angry. I totally understand why you're the angry patriot. But if you watch the local news every day, which I rarely do, you know, there's something said that there's a famous phrase that says, if it bleeds, it leads. Go watch the local news. Seven people were murdered in Chicago today. And now to Rick with sports. There was a murder in downtown LA, two homeless men, game rate, game rate the dog. And back to you Chuck with the weather. Like this is happening every single day in America, in every single city. And it's a no big deal, no big deal, no big deal.

• 1:14:47Adam Sosnick?

  But when something happens to an illegal immigrant, sound the alarm. Just like when Tom Hiddle, black on black crime in certain cities.

• 1:14:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Trying to see what you're saying.

• 1:14:56Adam Sosnick?

  I'm saying, I'll be very fricking clear.

• 1:14:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, do so.

• 1:15:00Adam Sosnick?

  Chris is correct.

• 1:15:01Patrick Bet-David?

  About the poor dog in Los Angeles.

• 1:15:02Adam Sosnick?

  Is correct.

• 1:15:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:15:03Adam Sosnick?

  These are. It in a way manufactured issues. Oh man. They are real issues, but they're not all that common. Yeah. But I totally understand why people get emotional about this. It's okay. Run this one stat. Are native born Americans citizens twice as likely to commit crimes than immigrants? Okay, we have. Just find the stat. Okay, find the stat.

• 1:15:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Can I ask you a question?

• 1:15:29Adam Sosnick?

  Sure.

• 1:15:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you realize how much contradictions there is in what you just said?

• 1:15:34Adam Sosnick?

  No.

• 1:15:34Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, let me put it to you this way.

• 1:15:36Adam Sosnick?

  What's the contradiction?

• 1:15:37Patrick Bet-David?

  So. This is so funny what I'm about to say. So you're saying native Americans are.

• 1:15:45Adam Sosnick?

  I'm not saying Indian American, I'm saying.

• 1:15:47Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, I know.

• 1:15:47Adam Sosnick?

  Citizens.

• 1:15:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Native Americans are more likely to commit a crime than illegal immigrants.

• 1:15:52Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:15:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 1:15:53Adam Sosnick?

  To be arrested, to be arrested for a crime.

• 1:15:55Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, crimes.

• 1:15:56Adam Sosnick?

  And you're about to say, well, entering the country is already a crime. Bingo.

• 1:16:00Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a crime.

• 1:16:01Adam Sosnick?

  I agree. They're a criminal. I said, I'm not for open borders, I want to shut it down.

• 1:16:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, a hundred.

• 1:16:06Adam Sosnick?

  To act like they're murdering everybody when they enter the country. Nobody said murdering everybody.

• 1:16:10Patrick Bet-David?

  A hundred.

• 1:16:11Adam Sosnick?

  What is this, what is this stat?

• 1:16:13Patrick Bet-David?

  A hundred percent of illegal immigrants commit crimes.

• 1:16:17Adam Sosnick?

  They, period.

• 1:16:19Patrick Bet-David?

  That's it. End of discussion.

• 1:16:20Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 1:16:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Uh, no, no. A hundred percent of illegal immigrants commit crime.

• 1:16:25Adam Sosnick?

  By entering our country illegally?

• 1:16:26Patrick Bet-David?

  That's illegal.

• 1:16:27Adam Sosnick?

  I agree with you.

• 1:16:27Patrick Bet-David?

  You're a criminal.

• 1:16:28Adam Sosnick?

  I agree with you.

• 1:16:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 1:16:29Adam Sosnick?

  But that doesn't mean they're raping people or killing people.

• 1:16:32Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a crime.

• 1:16:33Adam Sosnick?

  I agree.

• 1:16:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Perfect.

• 1:16:34Adam Sosnick?

  You're not gonna, I'm not gonna fight you on that.

• 1:16:35Patrick Bet-David?

  But the, the part on what, I'm trying to understand his position and your position and Cuomo's position. I have a relationship with all of you guys and I'm trying to see.

• 1:16:43Adam Sosnick?

  Cuomo and I pretty much have the same position.

• 1:16:45Patrick Bet-David?

  I, I.

• 1:16:46Adam Sosnick?

  On this.

• 1:16:46Patrick Bet-David?

  In, in this topic, yeah.

• 1:16:47Adam Sosnick?

  That it is manufactured, that they're out here.

• 1:16:49Patrick Bet-David?

  There's only one problem.

• 1:16:49Adam Sosnick?

  Killing people.

• 1:16:50Patrick Bet-David?

  There's only one problem.

• 1:16:51Adam Sosnick?

  That they shouldn't be here in the first place.

• 1:16:52Patrick Bet-David?

  There's only one problem.

• 1:16:53Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 1:16:54Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what the problem is?

• 1:16:54Adam Sosnick?

  Tell me.

• 1:16:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. Adam, when you uh

• 1:16:59Adam Sosnick?

  Here we go.

• 1:17:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Couldn't stand Trump and you voted for Biden.

• 1:17:02Adam Sosnick?

  Yup.

• 1:17:03Patrick Bet-David?

  And you voted against Trump twice.

• 1:17:05Adam Sosnick?

  Yup.

• 1:17:06Patrick Bet-David?

  You voted for Hillary and you voted for Biden.

• 1:17:09Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. And then eventually, something happened and you flipped.

• 1:17:15Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, same, same with a lot of people.

• 1:17:17Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, no, hear me where I'm going with this. This is the part that you, you know, you're gonna get some credit. The, what ended up happening with you.

• 1:17:25Adam Sosnick?

  Cut this clip, guys.

• 1:17:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Why? No, actually, turn off the.

• 1:17:29Adam Sosnick?

  We're going dark.

• 1:17:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Turn the audio off. Make, make Jay have some audio issues in the background. Yeah. No, what, what ended up, why the audience was with you, the position they took is, at least, he came out and said it. I was wrong.

• 1:17:45Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:17:47Patrick Bet-David?

  The biggest thing with Cuomo is, you know how he could have been, the difference could have been there, what my interpret, uh, understanding what Wendy's trying to say. If, if Cuomo would have said, I fell for the trap of George Floyd. And I was a part of it. And I was wrong.

• 1:18:05Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:18:06Patrick Bet-David?

  And I'm challenging.

• 1:18:07Adam Sosnick?

  Comment on George Floyd at all. That's, I mean, he's a separate issue.

• 1:18:09Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, what did they do with George Floyd when it happened? CNN and all that stuff. It was like, end of the world.

• 1:18:14Adam Sosnick?

  George Floyd is BLM, it's a lie, it's case for Gaza, it's all one big fabrication.

• 1:18:19Patrick Bet-David?

  The point is the fact that, the point is the fact that, he's coming out now saying this. It would have landed in a different way if he would have said, I was wrong.

• 1:18:28Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:18:29Patrick Bet-David?

  And I would ask for people from the other side to also receive this, even though it's a sensitive topic. For example, you ever seen, uh, when MLK got shot, the Bobby Kennedy speech?

• 1:18:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, can you pull up the Bobby Kennedy speech when, uh, Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s father? When, when MLK was assassinated, the first person that announced it to the public was Bobby Kennedy.

• 1:18:50Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:18:51Patrick Bet-David?

  And this speech is unbelievable.

• 1:18:55Adam Sosnick?

  Cause he was a general.

• 1:18:56Patrick Bet-David?

  It was unbelievable, right there announcing it, right there, Rob, if you can play this, okay? Let it keep going, let that go. Have you seen this guy? Pause this, pause this, audio, audio, audio, so we don't hear it. Okay, now go there, okay, watch this.

• 1:19:11Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch this.

• 1:19:13Patrick Bet-David?

  This is the speech that he gives, okay? This is in Indianapolis. It's riveting.

• 1:19:21Patrick Bet-David?

  And the reaction of the people when he announces is so freaking emotional. It's so emotional. Because look at the date. What's the date when MLK got shot? Sixty-eight, I want to say. It was the fourth. Watch this. I believe that's his brother Ted. Yeah. Watch.

• 1:19:42Patrick Bet-David?

  Come on. It's coming.

• 1:19:47Patrick Bet-David?

  There it is.

• 1:19:50Patrick Bet-David?

  On the back of a flatbed truck.

• 1:19:53Speaker 14

  I have some very sad news for all of you.

• 1:19:56Patrick Bet-David?

  First person releasing it.

• 1:19:58Speaker 14

  Sad news for all of our fellow citizens.

• 1:20:01Patrick Bet-David?

  To the people in Indianapolis.

• 1:20:02Speaker 14

  And people who love peace all over the world. And that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis.

• 1:20:11Patrick Bet-David?

  They don't know any. There's no social.

• 1:20:15Speaker 14

  Dedicated his life

• 1:20:19Speaker 14

  to love and to justice between fellow human beings.

• 1:20:25Speaker 14

  He died

• 1:20:27Speaker 14

  in the cause of that effort.

• 1:20:31Speaker 14

  In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States,

• 1:20:37Speaker 14

  it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in.

• 1:20:45Speaker 14

  For those of you who are black,

• 1:20:48Speaker 14

  considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible, you can be filled with bitterness

• 1:20:59Speaker 14

  and with hatred and a desire for revenge.

• 1:21:05Speaker 14

  We can move in that direction as a country in greater polarization,

• 1:21:11Speaker 14

  black people amongst blacks and white amongst whites, filled with hatred toward one another.

• 1:21:20Speaker 14

  Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land

• 1:21:36Speaker 14

  with an effort to understand.

• 1:21:39Speaker 14

  Compassion and love for those of you who are black

• 1:21:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Wait, it's coming out.

• 1:21:48Speaker 14

  And are tempted to feel with be filled with hatred and

• 1:21:51Patrick Bet-David?

  No teleprompter.

• 1:21:52Speaker 14

  mistrust of the injustice of such an act

• 1:21:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Pure heart.

• 1:21:58Speaker 14

  Against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart

• 1:22:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Ben Go, listen.

• 1:22:05Speaker 14

  The same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed.

• 1:22:10Patrick Bet-David?

  His brother.

• 1:22:11Speaker 14

  But he was killed by a white man. But we have to make an effort in the United States.

• 1:22:17Patrick Bet-David?

  This is what we need to do.

• 1:22:18Speaker 14

  We have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond or go beyond these rather difficult times.

• 1:22:24Patrick Bet-David?

  This message lands.

• 1:22:26Speaker 14

  My favorite poem, my favorite poet was Aeschylus. He once wrote,

• 1:22:32Speaker 04

  Five stocks to sell before the end of the week.

  Welcome to the 50th Hunger Games.

• 1:23:04Speaker 11

  Witness the beginning of the revolution.

• 1:23:07Speaker 12

  Hey Mitch, you've been trying to take Tony's games from the start.

• 1:23:10Speaker 11

  Filmed for IMAX.

• 1:23:11Speaker 12

  Make them remember you.

• 1:23:14Speaker 11

  The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Weeping, November 20th, rated P13.

• 1:23:23Speaker 14

  Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart.

• 1:23:31Speaker 14

  Until in our own desperate despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

• 1:23:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Awful grace of God.

• 1:23:40Speaker 14

  What we need in the United States is not division. What we need in the United States is not hatred. What we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness.

• 1:23:53Speaker 14

  But is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another. Feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white.

• 1:24:06Patrick Bet-David?

  And then they killed him. And then they killed him. But you know, but you know what the, what you, it doesn't matter. The message is, the message is the message that the country needs. That's the message that we need. And the biggest challenge with Cuomo, coming from a very decorated family in politics. One of the biggest in New York. I don't know who you put ahead of his family in New York. Three time governor, three terms both, father, son, him, CNN, TV. It's a decorated family politically in New York. The only thing with Chris that I always give him the feedback, hey man, people just want to hear you say one magical thing. Sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong. And by the way, everything changes with the messaging.

• 1:24:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Because the landing of the message, where a guy like you that wants to like him, I know you like him. I like him a lot. But you hear something pisses you off, you're like, dude, what are you doing? What's this all about? And so that's, that's the, that's the complexity of these types of issues that you're dealing with. Because the reality of it is, George Floyd, you can go look at the data, what happened with him? With his background, track record, what he did. Him, Lake and Riley, Lake and Riley, what did she do? Nothing. You know, and, and you go back and both of them, what did it do? One of them caused ruckus and chaos in America, destroyed it. Why? Because they needed it. You know, it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's an extremely emotional story on two different communities.

• 1:25:34Patrick Bet-David?

  So I understand what you're saying. I understand what you're saying. The reality of it is, when I hear that comment about illegal immigrants commit less crime than the ones, it's like, no, no. Illegal immigrants, 100% of them commit crimes. Because it's against the law to come here illegally, period. Not saying, hey, wouldn't you have done it if you had kids and you had a better life to come to America? Most likely. But what I'm saying to you is, it's still a what? Crime. It's still a crime. So we can twist that any way we want. The stats don't favor the people that bring those stats up. All right, let's go to the next story here. Uh, next story I want to go to is.

• 1:26:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Dave Portnoy, what happened with Dave Portnoy? He was doing it with Rob, I saw a clip of it. Was he out there doing a pizza review and something happened and then on their podcast?

• 1:26:27Patrick Bet-David?

  You know, one thing about Dave, he's gonna always get the eyeballs. People are always wanting to, I think that's the one right there, first dude, the 32, second one.

• 1:26:35Speaker 09

  Yeah, in the jacket, this was a pizza review.

• 1:26:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, it's a nice jacket, actually, watch this.

• 1:26:40Speaker 15

  So he's calling this old school Tarazza, one bite, everyone knows the rules. We didn't get here the first time. Place is very cool on the inside. We got Frankie Lozani's whole story, which almost seemed borderline not believable. Like, see, there we go.

• 1:26:56Speaker 15

  There we go, what are you guys fucking laughing about?

• 1:27:00Speaker 15

  Exactly. Uh, so here we go, one bite, everyone knows the rules.

• 1:27:04Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause that right there. And then what's the next one, Rob? Is that the, he's doing a podcast?

• 1:27:08Speaker 09

  Yep, here he is, fighting with one of his employees.

• 1:27:11Patrick Bet-David?

  So can you tell me who this is? Cause this I don't know.

• 1:27:13Speaker 05

  Uh, this is the unnamed, it's called the unnamed show.

• 1:27:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yep.

• 1:27:16Speaker 05

  And the Barstool host, his name is Kirk Minnehane.

• 1:27:20Patrick Bet-David?

  The guy on the right.

• 1:27:20Speaker 05

  The guy on the right. And Rob, from what Rob's saying, Rob, this is a pretty popular podcast. I don't follow anything from Barstool.

• 1:27:26Speaker 09

  Yeah, I believe he's the only Barstool employee that has like an actual background in broadcasting. He was a long time Boston radio host. I believe he either got fired or quit a few years ago and joined Barstool. And he and Dave, every time I watch their clips, they interact great together. This is the first time I've seen this type of head to head.

• 1:27:44Speaker 05

  Is this the long one, Pat? Rob, this is the four minute one? So, cause Rob, I'll give you some context and see how it starts. So, uh, there's a guest named Mick who mocked Portnoy by calling him Rabbi Dave. Trying to be funny, trying to be whatever. And called out his hypocrisy for condemning anti-Semitic speech while pointing back to Portnoy's own past for saying way worse, which I'll get into, but this is a clip and how it kind of built up and progressed from there.

• 1:28:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Go forward, Rob.

• 1:28:11Speaker 15

  I think right now, you probably don't do it.

• 1:28:15Speaker 05

  Silence everything. What are you, every comedian, don't tell a joke about it. Because, like Dave, that's how the world works. I agree with you.

• 1:28:22Speaker 15

  Go back to your question, when does freedom of speech impinge on freedom of religion?

• 1:28:26Speaker 05

  That was your question, not mine.

• 1:28:26Speaker 15

  Answer it.

• 1:28:28Speaker 05

  How many deaths?

• 1:28:29Speaker 15

  Yeah.

• 1:28:30Speaker 16

  I don't, I don't, I don't have a good, I don't have an answer.

• 1:28:32Speaker 15

  Like how in America, American citizens.

• 1:28:35Speaker 16

  What's your answer to that question?

• 1:28:36Speaker 15

  Now, now, now, now.

• 1:28:38Speaker 16

  So now what? So now what do we do?

• 1:28:40Speaker 15

  So maybe, maybe you stop with the fucking Jew jokes and act like it's not a big deal when someone does fuck the Jews in a bar.

• 1:28:46Speaker 16

  Or, no, here's the thing, I'm with you a thousand percent of that. You should fucking kick those people out. Of course you should.

• 1:28:53Speaker 15

  I'm not talking about kicking them out. I'm talking about.

• 1:28:55Speaker 16

  You want to go to jail? Like what do you want? Like?

• 1:28:58Speaker 15

  You, you are defending this guy Mick for what he said right after that happened. He's not anti-Semitic. Yes, he is. If your brain goes in.

• 1:29:05Speaker 16

  I'm not defending him Dave. What I'm saying is you should have him on here or somebody else like that and fucking fight with them because then you have a conversation.

• 1:29:12Speaker 15

  That's what this idiot wants.

• 1:29:14Speaker 16

  Dave, dude, these, these guys that wrote the thing at the bar, fuck the Jews, right?

• 1:29:17Speaker 15

  Yes.

• 1:29:18Speaker 16

  You're gonna fucking fly them to Auschwitz. Some guy tweets at you something, you want to fucking, he's not, you can't come on for five minutes.

• 1:29:25Speaker 15

  It was a bar I owned. It was a bar I owned.

• 1:29:26Speaker 16

  They should have been kicked out. So, but my thing is.

• 1:29:28Speaker 15

  No, it's not just kick out Kirk. Are you ignoring what's going on in the world right now?

• 1:29:31Speaker 16

  No, I'm not. What Dave, what do you, what do you want to do with those guys?

• 1:29:34Speaker 15

  You don't think it's related?

• 1:29:35Speaker 16

  What do you want to do with those guys at the bar? Put them in jail for 50 years? Fine. I don't care. They're assholes.

• 1:29:40Speaker 15

  You're, you're, you're, you're quite literally changing everything you say Kirk. If you just want me to kick them out, not mention it, not care that this idiot is anti-Semitic. Shut up. If you just want me to ignore it.

• 1:29:51Speaker 16

  Don't tell me, don't tell me to shut up. Don't tell me.

• 1:29:53Speaker 15

  Shut the fuck up, you bald fuck.

• 1:29:55Speaker 16

  Okay, go ahead.

• 1:29:56Speaker 15

  How's that?

• 1:29:57Speaker 16

  Oh, it's kill, I'll never recover from that Dave. Go ahead, continue. I'll never recover.

• 1:30:01Speaker 15

  Well, you're the one who like, oh, big boss man, don't tell, I'll tell you, you work for me.

• 1:30:04Speaker 16

  Okay, go ahead, continue.

• 1:30:05Speaker 15

  You little bitch, you work for me.

• 1:30:06Speaker 16

  Sure.

• 1:30:08Speaker 15

  For now, quit. I don't care. I'll pay 500 grand.

• 1:30:11Speaker 16

  Is this show or not a show? Like is this show or not a show? Like we can't have a conversation?

• 1:30:15Speaker 15

  You, you're an idiot.

• 1:30:17Speaker 16

  Okay.

• 1:30:17Speaker 15

  You're literally saying people should be allowed to make Jew jokes. Say whatever they want right fucking now. That's what you're saying.

• 1:30:23Speaker 16

  People should be allowed to make jokes.

• 1:30:24Speaker 15

  So how many motherfucking Jews have to be killed before you stop?

• 1:30:29Speaker 16

  That everybody, I don't think.

• 1:30:31Speaker 15

  What else? Where else is that happening with the religion or people?

• 1:30:35Speaker 16

  I don't think those, those psychopaths, I'm with you.

• 1:30:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Pause it right there. Okay. Vinny, thoughts?

• 1:30:39Speaker 05

  Okay, well. Let me, first of all, they, I, I could, I understand. I understand where he's coming from. I, you can see, you know, the stuff that's happening on Harvard and all these campuses. But what the other guy's trying to say, um, what was his name, Robbie? Kirk Menaheim? Kirk is saying, joking, like, making jokes, calling him Rabbi Dave. I'm sorry, this is why this country is the greatest country because you have freedom of speech. And speaking of freedom of speech, Rob, can you play, this is a clip, Pat. By the way, Dave Portnoy doesn't want the jokes or anything to happen that has to do against the Jews. I'm sorry, this is a country where you could say, you know, to hell with the Jews, to hell with the blacks,

• 1:31:24Speaker 05

  to hell with the Middle Easterns, you could call Middle Easterns terrorists that aren't terrorists, that are Christians. Guess what? This is where we live. We don't live in England where a, a, a Facebook post could have the cops show up to your house. Okay, this is him, this is him talking about Colin Kaepernick and A, and Arabic people, and saying that he thought he was ISIS. Could you just play this one real quick, Robbie?

• 1:31:45Speaker 17

  Colin Kaepernick not standing for the national anthem, this has become a huge story. Uh, so I'm gonna say something that's racist.

• 1:31:52Speaker 05

  Look, he's

• 1:31:53Speaker 17

  But I don't think it's racist. I don't think if you think something and don't say or act upon it, you can be called a racist.

• 1:31:59Speaker 18

  But you're saying, but you're gonna say it.

• 1:32:02Speaker 17

  I'm gonna say it. When I heard this story, I didn't read it, I didn't know why I was saying that. I was like, oh, he's an ISIS guy.

• 1:32:08Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 1:32:09Speaker 17

  Like, that was my original thought, because it kinda looks like

• 1:32:13Speaker 05

  Look, they're laughing.

• 1:32:13Speaker 17

  He is very confusing. He is very confusing, I will give you that. I'll, I'll, I'll go ahead and grab on this side of his terror.

• 1:32:20Speaker 18

  Wait, you thought he was not standing for the national anthem because he wanted to, like, kill all Americans?

• 1:32:26Speaker 17

  No, I thought he maybe had some terrorist Arabic

• 1:32:30Speaker 05

  Alright, Rob, that's, and this goes on for a little while, and then, Pat, this is him, by the way. And again, we're talking about jokes, we're not talking about go and, and, and giving an action, like, to go kill the Jews, okay? He's talk, and by the way, this is what his thoughts are on doing rape jokes. Play this one, Rob.

• 1:32:46Speaker 19

  You posted the following on your site. "I never condone rape, but if you're a size six and you're wearing skinny jeans, you kind of deserve to be raped."

• 1:32:56Speaker 15

  Correct.

• 1:32:57Speaker 05

  He said it.

• 1:32:57Speaker 15

  I stand by that. I think it's a funny joke.

• 1:32:59Speaker 05

  Joke, funny.

• 1:33:00Speaker 19

  You think rape is funny?

• 1:33:01Speaker 15

  No, I didn't say that. I think it's a funny joke.

• 1:33:03Speaker 19

  Do you understand how offensive that is?

• 1:33:05Speaker 15

  No, I obviously don't.

• 1:33:07Speaker 05

  Okay, and then, but we don't have to get into it. He also posted a naked photo of Tom Brady's two-year-old son with a vile comment about kids' genitals. Let's just, we'll get all past that, okay? He didn't defend Jews. He didn't defend morality. He defended his ego, okay? Then he publicly humiliated his own employee, which I would, dude, I am shocked. The guy is making $500,000 a year. If you still work for that guy, for a boss that talks to you like that, you're a sucker, okay? There's absolutely no way any grown man, I don't care what your position is, talks to somebody else just like that, okay? You can't build your brand, Dave, and say, say whatever you want, and then lose your mind when somebody else says the same thing. Calling you Rabbi Dave isn't something for you to flip out, like, because

• 1:33:49Speaker 05

  my question is, what do you want? You want to ban people to make fun of Jewish people? No, that's, that's what America is. People make jokes about everybody all the time. We were in the military. We made fun of each other. All, the black, the Middle Eastern, and the white, and the Spanish jokes were all the time. They were jokes. Nobody's calling to action. If you're calling for people to die, that's a whole different conversation. But for a guy, that's the guy Mick, saying Rabbi Dave, and for him to lose his mind-

• 1:34:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me ask you a question. What, what jokes would still piss you off?

• 1:34:24Speaker 05

  Meaning what?

• 1:34:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Like, you know, you tell an Armenian motherfucker, to an Armenian, it's like, you're mereska furtumes.

• 1:34:32Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:34:33Patrick Bet-David?

  And I have to hurt you. Like, that's the Armenian-

• 1:34:36Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:34:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Like, you can, you can-

• 1:34:38Speaker 05

  Well, that's not a joke. That, you're trying to, those are fighting words.

• 1:34:40Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no. You know Mama's jokes?

• 1:34:42Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 1:34:42Patrick Bet-David?

  You can't do Armenian Mama's jokes.

• 1:34:43Speaker 05

  Of course not.

• 1:34:44Patrick Bet-David?

  No, but what I'm saying to you is- You what?

• 1:34:46Speaker 05

  Why not?

• 1:34:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Do it.

• 1:34:48Speaker 05

  Oh, Armenians don't play games.

• 1:34:50Adam Sosnick?

  I'm asking a question.

• 1:34:51Speaker 05

  They don't play games.

• 1:34:52Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, I'm telling you.

• 1:34:52Adam Sosnick?

  I don't know how Armenians joke.

• 1:34:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Go to Glendale, do Mama's jokes with Armenians.

• 1:34:56Speaker 05

  It's over. It's over.

• 1:34:57Adam Sosnick?

  I, I, I actually, I'll pay for it.

• 1:34:59Speaker 05

  I'm not gonna go, but what would happen?

• 1:35:03Speaker 05

  I know.

• 1:35:03Adam Sosnick?

  What happens if I walked around in Glendale with a F your Armenian mother sign?

• 1:35:08Speaker 05

  It's you're gonna get fought.

• 1:35:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, bro.

• 1:35:09Adam Sosnick?

  You're gonna need dental.

• 1:35:11Speaker 05

  I didn't say that. No, no, hold on, hold on.

• 1:35:14Adam Sosnick?

  Hey, these are jokes.

• 1:35:15Speaker 05

  You're putting words in my mouth.

• 1:35:16Adam Sosnick?

  Vinny, these are jokes, buddy.

• 1:35:17Speaker 05

  You're saying putting words in my mouth.

• 1:35:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me make my point.

• 1:35:19Adam Sosnick?

  Go ahead.

• 1:35:20Patrick Bet-David?

  What jokes would really bother you?

• 1:35:22Speaker 05

  Me personally?

• 1:35:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 1:35:23Speaker 05

  Nothing bothers me as a comedian if you're trying to tell jokes. If you're trying, hold on, two different things, Pat. If you're just trying to piss me off and trying to push a button to fight, that's one thing. If you're telling jokes to be funny.

• 1:35:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:35:37Speaker 05

  Nothing offends me. I'm a comedian by heart. Nothing. If you're just, Pat, if you're just saying, hey, Vinny, F your mother and I hope she does that's okay. Then you're trying to fight me. You're not trying to be funny.

• 1:35:48Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm not saying that. Like, to me, you know, there's certain, certain things in people's lives that that's the hill they're willing to die on, right? Okay, you have that. You're a pride man. Meaning, not pride, the negative pride. You have a lot of positive pride in your heritage. Very. Syrians love you. You're very proud to be a Syrian, you know? Uh, your mother, no one can say anything about your mom. No one. You, you adore your mom. You worship the ground she walks on. I see how you're with your mom. Vinny's mom's here. He doesn't let his mom cook or do anything while he's here. Like, that's how amazing of a guy Vinny is, right?

• 1:36:31Patrick Bet-David?

  So, all I'm trying to understand is, when I see him lose his shit like that, you know what I realize? That's the one thing that he, he loses his emotions. He loses his shit. And by the way, you have the right to say, yeah, but you said this and you said this. You have a good argument. But then the other side is as well, he has this thing where it's like, no, you don't cross the line with this. Okay, great. By the way, to get to the point of saying, we have to, uh, what do you call it? Prevent all speech and joke about all this stuff? No, you can't do that. Some of the funniest jokes I've heard is when, you know, Middle Easterns get up there and tell jokes about terrorism and all this other stuff.

• 1:37:13Patrick Bet-David?

  And it's just funny when you hear like, even when we were at the Rogan's Comedy Club, there was one Middle Eastern guy that was on the stand-up.

• 1:37:19Adam Sosnick?

  Oh, man.

• 1:37:20Patrick Bet-David?

  With glasses, I don't know what his name was, with the beard. Funny as hell.

• 1:37:22Adam Sosnick?

  Funny guy, yeah.

• 1:37:23Patrick Bet-David?

  And, and he told Middle Eastern jokes. He made fun of the Middle Eastern community and bombing and all this other stuff, right? But I get it. I get the fact that for him, it's something that's extremely sensitive for Dave Portnoy at a season like this. Adam, for you, how do you process this?

• 1:37:40Adam Sosnick?

  Well, when I used to do stand-up comedy, I had one rule. Uh, it's not racist if you make fun of everybody. Blacks, whites, Jews, Catholics, Christians, Muslims, Mexicans, I don't, anyone can get it. But it's only racist if you're like, you know who I hate? Those Mexicans, hate them. You know who I hate? Those blacks. You know I hate? Those Jews. When you start singling out groups, it doesn't become funny anymore. It doesn't become ha, ha, ha, ha. If I walked around Glendale with a sign, F your Armenian mom, you just told me I would, I wouldn't leave Glendale alive.

• 1:38:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, can you do me a favor?

• 1:38:19Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, make that sign for me.

• 1:38:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Armenians, if you're watching this, do me a favor, okay? His menex are 18 bucks, okay? Can you please do me a favor? That's his QR code. There's a contest. Come compete for it anyways and come to the Land of the Saff dinner. Can Armenians please menect Adam and tell him what you would do to him?

• 1:38:38Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:38:38Patrick Bet-David?

  If he went out there, said something about your mom as a joke? Can you please? And by the way, Assyrians, it's mainly that Armenian Assyrian blood.

• 1:38:47Adam Sosnick?

  All five new Assyrians, message me.

• 1:38:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Make a joke about their moms and see what happens. It's like a reaction.

• 1:38:51Adam Sosnick?

  Hey, Armenians, F your mom.

• 1:38:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, shit.

• 1:38:54Adam Sosnick?

  And Assyrians, F your dad.

• 1:38:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, shit.

• 1:38:56Adam Sosnick?

  So, by the way.

• 1:38:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Call the security on the way out here.

• 1:38:59Adam Sosnick?

  By the way.

• 1:39:00Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, Armenians will be here 30 minutes from Glendale.

• 1:39:02Adam Sosnick?

  Bring out a sign right now that says, F the Jews. These are jokes.

• 1:39:05Patrick Bet-David?

  And if you're a dentist that does reconstructive dental work, send it to Tom and I'll refer it to Adam.

• 1:39:11Adam Sosnick?

  So, okay, listen, I believe in free speech. I don't think anybody should be silenced. I don't think anybody should be censored. But on one hand, if you talk trash about Armenians, you're not gonna leave Glendale alive. But go ahead and F the Jews worldwide. All good. No big deal. It's not like it's leading to people being murdered at embassies or people being set on fire in Colorado. These are jokes, guys. F the Jews. I would wonder what would happen if a black guy was doing a pizza review and someone drove by and goes, F the blacks. What? Remember, there was a whole thing, Stop Asian Hate. All right. F the Latinos. No. To me, these are not jokes. This is disgusting.

• 1:39:55Adam Sosnick?

  And I would say the exact same thing and stand up for blacks, Latinos, Asians, gays, Jews. But it doesn't matter to me. If they said F the Muslims, I'd be the first person in line saying, no, that's not right. Because I have no issues with anybody other than extremists. I have no issue with Muslims. I have an issue with Islamic Jihad. I have no issues with Christians or Catholics. I have an issue with priests raping kids. Yeah, that's an issue. So you might think this is cute coming after the Jews right now, but I will die on this sword right here. It's coming for you Christians next. Straight the F up. And you guys better wake up. Let the Jews deal with what they're dealing with. But they're not coming after Jewish cities all around the world.

• 1:40:40Adam Sosnick?

  They're coming after one Jewish city. That's Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. But are Muslims invading Christian cities? Or are Christians invading Muslim cities? I'll wait. Toronto, that's where that happened. London, Paris, Sydney, LA, Philly, New York. These are Christian cities. Detroit. Yep. These are Christian cities where they're burning down the American flag, calling for an Intifada. So the Jews will deal with what they gotta deal with. That's fine.

• 1:41:08Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, how do you process this?

• 1:41:09Adam Sosnick?

  You better wake up.

• 1:41:10Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you process this as a Jew yourself? What do you think?

• 1:41:13Speaker 05

  Yep. Somebody give me the hat from Jake's desk, please. I want to have Tom wear it.

• 1:41:17Adam Sosnick?

  No, no. I do have an opinion. Tom, how do you feel about Christian cities being invaded by Islamic Jihad?

• 1:41:23Tom Ellsworth?

  It's bad. And actually.

• 1:41:27Tom Ellsworth?

  The most visible persecution on earth is the Jews. It's the most visible, it's the most written about. But statistically speaking, the greatest persecution is against Christians. You're right. Go talk. Facts, numbers. Go talk to the people. And nobody cares, buddy. Correct, nobody cares. But let me go back where, let me go back to the start. So you do something about it. Yep, let me go back to where the start of Dave Portnoy. Dave Portnoy is a satirist, a pundit, but he has a third rail. And third rail for him, and it's very emotional for him, is these issues of not just Jewish jokes, but this, this assault. I mean, F the Jews outside of that pizza place. He's just doing his stand-up thing for pizza and this, this guy comes by. I mean, that's bad. Now, for comedy, we have freedom of speech.

• 1:42:12Tom Ellsworth?

  We also have consequences. And we've seen guys walk up to the stage and confront comedians. We've seen comedians that were, you know, punched in the mouth. And so, we also have a consensus among comedians, and I've seen it discussed, that says, hey, look, if you go too far here, here, or here, you know, part of the audience that's tasteless, you may be on the edge there. And what they're saying is, I got freedom of speech to be whatever comedy I want. But if you want to go here, here, or here, you might be careful and you might better be depending what your identity is and where you're coming from and what you're perceived. There may be consequences that come from the audience if someone is deeply offended by that. And that's the world in which we live.

• 1:42:57Tom Ellsworth?

  In terms of Dave Portnoy, I don't judge how he's talking to his employee. That's his employee, that's his show. He can go off if he wants to.

• 1:43:04Patrick Bet-David?

  You said something very important two weeks ago, Tom. You said, have you noticed what happens to comedians as, as they age? Do you remember when you said that?

• 1:43:11Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah.

• 1:43:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you share that with the audience? What happens to comedians when they age?

• 1:43:14Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, don't they, they get bitter. And they, and they get, and they get, they get very, very iconoclastic and cold and, and almost, almost somber, right?

• 1:43:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Why, though?

• 1:43:27Speaker 05

  I don't know, but by the way, there's something else we can talk about. They talk about it in LA that the older comedians get that you have depression and drug use rises. Even compared to the partying in their twenties, that it gets very dark for a lot of comedians later in life. And I mean this, Vinny, I'm being serious, I'm not satirizing here, is people talk about that the comedians get older and...

• 1:43:51Patrick Bet-David?

  You know where I was going with this though? Where I was going with this is the following, is if you build your brand on being a troll and a comic and a shock jock and, you know, shit talker, don't be surprised when people attack you. That's your brand. You know what I'm saying? You can't be surprised when that's part of your brand. If your name is Michael Jordan, you're going to game and you're talking shit to the opponent, guess what? You better be ready. Like, they're gonna... If your name is Gary Payton, you wanna go out there, if your name is Conor McGregor, you're gonna possibly eventually run into a Khabib, who's not that guy. Look how Khabib is. Khabib is not a comedian. He's not a promoter. He's not a guy that's doing that.

• 1:44:32Speaker 05

  No, he's ice cold.

• 1:44:33Patrick Bet-David?

  He's ice cold, and when you make fun of his religion, it's not a "let's sell tickets, pay-per-view." It's, "You crossed the line. I admire my dad. I'm gonna destroy you," right? So to me, the conflict people have, in my opinion, with Portnoy is the fact that he's built his entire empire being that way. Now he's upset that he's getting it being, you know, fed back to him.

• 1:45:00Speaker 05

  Hundred percent. And I also, and Adam, I hope you're not pretending like Hollywood and the world doesn't mock Christians and Christianity in movies.

• 1:45:09Adam Sosnick?

  No, it does.

• 1:45:10Speaker 05

  No, hold on. It happens all the time. And so you can't, don't say that it doesn't happen. People aren't losing their minds.

• 1:45:18Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, but it's subtle. And I think you guys should actually do more about it.

• 1:45:23Speaker 05

  Can I say my thing? No, but let's get to the main point of this.

• 1:45:25Adam Sosnick?

  Christianity is on the decline?

• 1:45:26Speaker 05

  Well, guess what?

• 1:45:27Adam Sosnick?

  And Islam is on the rise, and you guys are gonna be irrelevant in about 20 years.

• 1:45:32Speaker 05

  I disagree, 'cause guess what? Bring it on. Bring it, bring it on. I hope that... When that fight comes. Don't talk to me. No, no. There's only 15 million Jews. Adam. There's 2 billion Muslims. And guess what? And there's 2.5 billion Christians. There's a lot of Christians. They're coming for your ass, buddy. You deal with it. But here's my, here's my point going, and I know we want to end on the, we'll go to the next story. The Portnoy thing wasn't the F the Jew, what pissed him off, Adam, is somebody called in or whatever, and said Rabbi Dave, okay? That is a joke, and I don't care what Dave or anybody. That's a funny joke. No, I understand, but that's what triggered this. No, it's the F the Jews that triggered it. I'm reading from what the story was about. You didn't, the whole context was the guy Mick, who he's talking about, that's called him Rabbi Dave. You think that's why he was upset?

• 1:46:17Speaker 05

  That's what I'm just saying. Are you dumb? I'm just saying. He's mad about what's going on in the community, the people being murdered. Adam, but here's my. I don't think he was mad about a stupid little joke. That's not why he was upset. Or do you think? Don't make that argument. That's dumb. Do you think I'm cool with somebody driving by and saying F the Jews? Do you think I'm cool with that? I don't give a shit what you think. That's not what I'm asking. Okay, no, no. And I know I don't think you're cool with it. And guess what? If you think I give a shit even an ounce of what you give a shit about, because you're wrong 100% of the time. Stephen A. Smith told me already. Okay, you're wrong. Nobody gives a shit what you think. You're wrong way more than you're right. So let's move on to the next thing. Because I've been right at least a couple times. Do I defend the right of a person to say it and not go to jail?

• 1:46:58Speaker 05

  Yes, Adam, because I'm sorry, I'm a free speech absolutist, period. You can say what you want. Okay, so F the Assyrians. There's, guess what? What are the consequences? There's consequences. What's gonna happen? Adam, you think I'm gonna sit here and lose my mind? What's gonna happen? Adam, you're talking words. What are you gonna do? Guess who I am, Adam? I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian. F the Christians. I'm cool. I'm cool, Adam. What are you gonna do? Guess who you're gonna deal with? Jesus Christ at one point. Oh, no. You're gonna deal with God. Yeah, okay, Adam, mock him. Mock him. But the point is, I've never said that in my life. I don't care. The point is, I've never said that in my life, but that is going around everywhere. I come from a world, Adam. And look how emotional you're getting. Where people talk shit. Guess what? I thought you were a comedian. You're getting very emotional. When people talk shit, then you go deal with it.

• 1:47:42Speaker 05

  Adam, Dave Portnoy's not gonna fight anybody, but what does he want? Here's my question. Somebody goes up to Dave Portnoy in his face and goes F the Jews. Let's just say somebody has the brash to go do it. What should happen to them, Adam? Go to jail? What do you want to happen? Dave should punch him in the face. But he's not a fighter. My point is, you can say what you want, but be able to deal with the consequences. That's it.

• 1:48:06Adam Sosnick?

  Okay.

• 1:48:06Speaker 05

  Do you think it should be illegal to say F the Jews or F the blacks?

• 1:48:09Adam Sosnick?

  If they were saying F the Assyrians all around town, hear me out, and then people were murdering Assyrians? I'd love to hear what you say next.

• 1:48:17Speaker 05

  Really?

• 1:48:18Adam Sosnick?

  Because I guarantee you would be like, listen, maybe we shouldn't joke about this anymore. And I think that's what Dave Portnoy is saying. He's like, I'm all for jokes, I'm all for saying stupid stuff. But when people start being killed because of your jokes, now we got a problem, homie. And don't act like these things aren't happening. Don't act like hate crimes aren't happening. And why is a Jewish guy in New York responsible for what Bibi Netanyahu is doing in Israel? There's no relevancy. That's like me going and punching a Catholic person in the face because some priest in Rome raped the kid. There's no correlation. But there's a very frickin' slippery slope between, I don't approve of Bibi's role, to F the Zionists, to F Israel, to F the Jews in America.

• 1:49:02Adam Sosnick?

  It's a slippery slope. Where do you draw the line here? So some random kid on campus going to school just because he's Jewish, all of a sudden it's like, F you, F the Jews? The kid has probably never even been to frickin' Israel. So if every Catholic has to pay the price for every stupid thing that the Vatican has done? Wow, Catholics would be dealing with a lot of frickin' things. And if every Muslim had to pay the price for every stupid thing Osama bin Laden did, there'd be a lot of issues. But it only works that way with the Jews these days, apparently. But that's just me.

• 1:49:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, listen, I mean, if you go, we're gonna go to Hollywood next, story-wise. But if you go and think about... Uh, how many movies, shows, mainstream have made fun of Christians versus Jews? It's not even close.

• 1:49:48Adam Sosnick?

  Oh. Oh, no, you guys are a laughing stock. Dogma. And you're gonna sit there and take it. Jesus Camp.

• 1:49:53Patrick Bet-David?

  No, it's.

• 1:49:53Adam Sosnick?

  I'm not a fan of it. There's a, the, the, the black girl's gonna play Jesus Christ here shortly. It's disgusting that these atheists have teamed up with these jihadists to take over the world.

• 1:50:03Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:50:03Adam Sosnick?

  And you guys are just sitting there being like, okay, that's cool, not you. I'm saying Christians in general.

• 1:50:09Patrick Bet-David?

  What you're saying, but the opposite argument to that would be Hollywood's been ran for Jews for decades.

• 1:50:13Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, cuz they started Hollywood.

• 1:50:15Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the point, but guess what?

• 1:50:16Adam Sosnick?

  Who's making fun of Christians?

• 1:50:17Patrick Bet-David?

  But, but guess what, guess what they owned and controlled? The biggest platform to be able to send a message out to get people to think the way they want them to think. They've owned a very powerful tool. The moment they lost that is when social media and YouTube and all this stuff came out where it was now equal opportunity. And the game changed.

• 1:50:35Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 1:50:36Patrick Bet-David?

  When Netflix and all this stuff came. And that's, that's where the competition right now, the friction's a little bit higher. But however, going back to the point is, I don't think you mean to say anything about F the Christians. That's just something you were saying to take a shot at them.

• 1:50:48Adam Sosnick?

  I've never said that in my life. My point is this.

• 1:50:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:50:51Adam Sosnick?

  Doesn't feel good, does it?

• 1:50:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:50:53Adam Sosnick?

  You're getting a little emotional, don't you?

• 1:50:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me tell you, let me tell you what we are gonna be doing though. We are gonna send Adam to Glendale for a weekend. And just to see what's gonna happen and we're gonna have Adam wear that shirt and Armenians. Go give him a message. Let him know how you feel about it, if he says anything about Armenians and, and mothers. But that's the Armenian community.

• 1:51:09Adam Sosnick?

  And I'm gonna bring my garshuk with me, guys.

• 1:51:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Bring your garshuk, bring your garshuk. Cuz you're gonna need it, you're gonna be doing a, pooping a lot of bricks in that garshuk.

• 1:51:17Adam Sosnick?

  Just real clear, before anyone cuts us up, I love my Armenian friends. I love Tigran, I love, I love Moral, I love my Assyrian friends. Gabriel, but David, you brought one of my favorite people in the history of life of this world, who's half Armenian, half Assyrian. I love these people. I'm using sarcasm as an example, cuz why? These are jokes, guys. All of a sudden, we're not comfortable with jokes? I love these people.

• 1:51:41Patrick Bet-David?

  All right, let's go to next story here.

• 1:51:42Adam Sosnick?

  They're still gonna hit you in the mouth.

• 1:51:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Disney's slashing hundreds of jobs in film TV as Hollywood facing industry turmoil. This is a New York Post story and then I'm going to read the next one and Tom I'm coming to you here. Crazy stories here by the way. So Disney is laying off several hundred employees across film television corporate finance with a source stating that layoffs affect multiple teams around the world introducing including film TV marketing, TV publicity, casting development. This follows previous cuts including 7,000 jobs in 2023 to save 5.5 billion dollars and nearly 6% or fewer than 200 people as ABC's new corp, News Corp and Disney Entertainment Networks in March. The layoffs are part of Disney's response to the migration of cable TV audiences to streaming platforms as the company under Bob Iger reshapes its business strategy amid industry turmoil.

• 1:52:30Patrick Bet-David?

  And then you hear Hollywood has left LA actor Rob Lowe described the scarcity of experienced crews in LA noting a production in Atlanta where our Dolly Grip had never been on a set before and he'd applied for the job because he'd worked at a a Dolly at Costco. He said the state of the business is so bleak now that even I am willing to consider shooting outside of LA because the opportunities here are just gone away. Film LA reported 2024 is the worst year for local filming with only about a fifth damn of American movies and shows shot in LA. Production has shifted from LA due to generous tax credits elsewhere with New York offering a 30% base credit

• 1:53:12Patrick Bet-David?

  with a 10% upside upstate bonus subsidizing shows like the HBO Gilded Age with 52 million dollars. Producer Jason Blum said shooting Night Swim in LA costs an extra four and a half million dollars while the Good Place creator Michael Shore noted cost efficiency is now the primary focus of a lot of TV and film production. California's 20% credit capped at 330 million dollars excludes major salaries pushing projects to places like Georgia with uncapped incentives. Tom.

• 1:53:41Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, there's two big stories in here. Headline number one, this is exhibit 54 of the shift that's happening in media right now. And Disney is having trouble. ABC, ESPN, when you take a look, let me give you an example. Our good and great friend Stephen A., you heard him on this program talking about all of the avenues where he's going to be used by ESPN. I'm not talking about Sirius, I'm not talking about the other things he's doing. He's going to have his own thing on Sirius. He's also going to have, be on the POTUS channel on Sirius, apparently. I'm talking about just within the things that he's going to do in the ESPN contract. You know, that would have been a one man, one show, one item contract if it was Anderson

• 1:54:26Tom Ellsworth?

  Cooper at CNN. You see what I mean, Vinnie? Yeah, you're going to get $30 million to sit in a chair from 5 to 7 o'clock each day. That's it. That's all we want to do. What about this? I'm not going to do that. You're only doing one thing. What's happening now, these contracts are for more things. Now, Stephen's got a great voice and he can be used in a lot of ways and everything, and he's growing and all that's good. But Disney as a whole is in the middle of a complete tsunami of shift. There are two things that are working right now. Disney Plus, which is basically a Netflix competitor. It's all the programming that they've got, all the Star Wars. And theme parks. Those things are working at Disney. Everything else is shifting. Merch is shifting. The big channels are shifting.

• 1:55:08Tom Ellsworth?

  And they're shifting the big channels, as evidenced by the athletes that were cut on ESPN, the dollars that they've cut. They bought certain things, but it's, they've been optimizing it. Give Stephen A. the money. We're going to use him. Fewer, bigger stars and names to use things. So that's what's happening in Disney. It's the same thing that's happening at CNN. And by the way, Pat, would you like to know what CNN's debt, which is corporate bonds, are rated? What's that? They got downgraded to BB plus. Are you kidding me? Which is one step from junk. Wow. Junk bonds, that's not me calling it junk, folks. There is a legal, excuse me, there is a, um, a formal word for bonds that are high risk

• 1:55:51Tom Ellsworth?

  because the, what you're, you're investing in, you're going to get a good interest rate, get a good return, and it's called junk bonds. That it's risky investment, but you're going to get a good return if you live through the life of the bond. And CNN bonds have been, excuse me, Warner Brothers Discovery, WBD bonds, um, have been moved to one step above junk, and they have now called the thing called Spin Co. Cause they're going to spin it out, and they couldn't think of a brand, so Pat, they're calling it Spin Co. Uh, we'll let you know, we're going to call it later, but we're calling it Spin Co. And we're going to put CNN in, we're going to put a lot of things in it, you know, and TBS says, hey, can I have two billion to renew the NBA? No. No. Well, they're going to go elsewhere. I don't care. We're trying to save money.

• 1:56:35Tom Ellsworth?

  And they're putting all of this stuff in a soup, and they're trying to spin it out. So that's what's happening in Hollywood. And in Disney, the Hollywood story is, they're a bunch of globalists and a bunch of leftists. But guess what happened to them? Capitalism. Other states said, would you like to come film here and employ some people in my state? Said Georgia, said Vancouver, Canada, and all these other places. So in the midst of socialist Hollywood, capitalism came to play and ate their lunch. California's lunch got eaten, and now all the Hollywood spending is elsewhere. Because you know the liberals at the top of entertainment companies, Vinny? You know what they have? Stock options.

• 1:57:18Tom Ellsworth?

  They have stock options in their public companies and are like, and it's like liberal by day, capitalists by night. When I'm home, looking at the stock and looking where things are, we can make more money, sir, filming in Georgia, and they're giving us tax credits. What the hell are you waiting for? Get to Georgia. And that's what Rob Lowe's talking about. So this is a massive tsunami shift that's happening in media, and, uh, it's, it's not getting any better, and there's just more numbers coming out. And now Disney's laying off people, and the only thing's working is Disney Plus. Got him. And theme parks.

• 1:57:51Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I mean, I'm just gonna revisit what I said earlier. I don't really care about California at this point. They've lost my mind. They don't deserve any more of our attention. Every story you hear out of California is just like, they're falling, they're falling apart, everyone's leaving, nobody wants to be there.

• 1:58:02Tom Ellsworth?

  You just said California four times in a sentence where you said you didn't care.

• 1:58:05Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, thanks, Tom. The one constant in life is change and disruption has taken over every single industry. From politics to money, Bitcoin to media and Hollywood is just the latest victim of disruption of social media and Netflix, what have you. Other places are doing it better, faster, cheaper and there's really no reason to stay in LA to do the holly weird stuff anymore. Follow the money, tax incentives, high cost productions, unions, you know, by the, in the middle of a shoot, there's homeless people walking on set. The COVID, the overreach, it's just.

• 1:58:45Patrick Bet-David?

  I mean, you make me wanna, you make me wanna cover one more California.

• 1:58:48Adam Sosnick?

  You make me wanna leave.

• 1:58:49Patrick Bet-David?

  The one I'm with, start a new relationship with. California.

• 1:58:54Adam Sosnick?

  I'm just so over California and their nonsense.

• 1:58:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, then, I'm not coming to.

• 1:58:57Adam Sosnick?

  Do we have any good stories of California?

• 1:58:58Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me just show you this.

• 1:58:59Adam Sosnick?

  But, oh, you could ski and surf on the same day?

• 1:59:01Patrick Bet-David?

  California residents enraged by driverless cars forced by regulators to make a loud beeping. Oh, he's like this is, you know, it's like, it, because they know Californians have such tolerance for liberal policies and they know Californians won't leave because Californians like to be, they're like masochists. They like to be taken advantage. They like punishment, like rough, they like it. So they know they're not gonna leave. So they're like, look, do it anyways. Honk the horn. They're not gonna leave.

• 1:59:33Adam Sosnick?

  Alphabet mafia.

• 1:59:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Branny, can you, I mean, Rob, can you play this thing here with the video? Is this it? Is this it, Rob?

• 1:59:39Speaker 09

  So I can't find any videos. What they're saying the Waymo cars do is they make that beep beep beep noise like a truck backing up.

• 1:59:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:59:46Speaker 09

  But there is a news article about that. It doesn't have any of the audio of the cars. But this is also what happened in a Waymo parking lot where they store all the cars. They started getting bundled up because there's nobody driving them and the horns start honking. And this apparently happens night after night after night at some of these areas where people can't sleep because they hear this noise throughout the night.

• 2:00:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's just hear it. Go ahead.

• 2:00:10Speaker 09

  Those are all driverless cars, Pat, honking at each other.

• 2:00:17Speaker 09

  Four o'clock in the morning.

• 2:00:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me hear it. Let me hear. Hang on. I want to hear Randall White. Go ahead.

• 2:00:23Speaker 04

  Now, four o'clock in the morning, and I look down, and I'm convinced now, it is coming from the Waymos.

• 2:00:28Speaker 20

  Neighbor shared videos of driverless Waymo cars finally into the lot and backing into spots, which appears to trigger honking from the other Waymos.

• 2:00:37Speaker 04

  Cars are robotic, and they're honking at each other, and there's no one in the cars when it's happening. And that's absurd. Would let them just stop honking their horn at four in the morning, repeatedly.

• 2:00:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh my God, that is hilarious.

• 2:00:57Speaker 09

  It's gotten so bad that in the news article that they talk about, these charging stations where they charge the cars have been put next to residential apartment complexes. So what people are now doing, because there's driverless cars, there's nobody in there, they're now going out and putting items in front of the entrance to the charging station. So the cars get bottled up, and they can't actually pull in to charge. So the cars will just line up throughout the street for blocks at a time. Wow.

• 2:01:20Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, all you need is an orange cone, and you put two of them like, like five feet apart. This lady did it. You see her? She puts two orange cones, and

• 2:01:27Patrick Bet-David?

  See if you can find a clip.

• 2:01:28Tom Ellsworth?

  And the Waymo cars won't move, because they interpret the orange cones as something that I should not run over.

• 2:01:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Is that it? Is that the one?

• 2:01:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, there she goes.

• 2:01:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me see it. Go, go, go back a little bit, Ron.

• 2:01:40Tom Ellsworth?

  And see the cameras and all the stuff that's up on top?

• 2:02:33Tom Ellsworth?

  And now that Waymo will wake up in the morning and won't move. Because all that stuff in the radar that's on top of it, it's like, I cannot run over this.

• 2:02:46Patrick Bet-David?

  And this is what, a lot of this is in California? I mean, look, advancement, you're gonna go through some of the headaches of advancement, but the honking of the horn, is this the clip of the honking of the horn or no? That was something else?

• 2:02:57Tom Ellsworth?

  No, that was just the news article about it.

• 2:02:59Patrick Bet-David?

  That was a news article about it?

• 2:03:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, news video.

• 2:03:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Play it, let me see it.

• 2:03:04Speaker 21

  Ginger, thank you. Residents in one neighborhood of Santa Monica are fed up with Waymo. They're upset over traffic and noise, run the self-driving taxis at their charging stations. They say the beeping sounds from the cars are keeping them up all day and all night. KTLA's Annie Rose Ramos, live now in Santa Monica with the story. Annie Rose, good morning.

• 2:03:24Speaker 22

  Hey Jess, good morning to you. Well, Waymo tells me that they have multiple lots throughout Los Angeles where their cars are able to go and charge. But really, the controversy is surrounding the two located right here in Santa Monica. I'm standing in front of both of them. There's one right next to each other here. And you can see the Waymo lined up those cars, one after the other. And the residents tell us, the ones who at least live right next to these charging lots, that there is noise coming from these areas all day and all night. Really, when it comes to the backing up beeping of these cars. And it is creating this controversy and creating this battle between the company, Waymo, and the residents that is now reaching a whole new level.

• 2:04:09Speaker 23

  24 hours noise. If you watch this, especially come at nighttime.

• 2:04:15Speaker 23

  I can go to sleep and then a couple hours later, I'm waking up because I'm hearing the noise.

• 2:04:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay.

• 2:04:19Speaker 23

  I can't even have my windows open, only during the day. That's so LA, look at the park. So I don't know what to do. City councils, I've notified them, but why'd they put this right here in residence?

• 2:04:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Cause it's LA, homie.

• 2:04:31Adam Sosnick?

  To live and die in LA, don't you know the message?

• 2:04:33Patrick Bet-David?

  There you go, alright.

• 2:04:33Speaker 22

  Now residents have been reported using-

• 2:04:36Tom Ellsworth?

  Maybe it's like whales, you know whales talk to each other?

• 2:04:40Speaker 05

  When is the last time you've heard somebody say this? I'm being, Adam, any of you, when's the last time you heard somebody say this with this conviction? I'm moving to Los Angeles. When's the last, or California, when's the last time you actually hurt somebody that's

• 2:04:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Younger, younger people.

• 2:04:54Speaker 05

  To move to Cali?

• 2:04:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Younger people.

• 2:04:56Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 2:04:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Younger people, not, not

• 2:04:58Speaker 05

  Saying

• 2:04:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Married, kids, values, want to raise their kids the right way and position themselves. Look, i- i- if you think about the top 10 biggest decisions you'll make in your life, okay, what are the top 10 biggest decisions, decisions you'll make in your life? Number one is what?

• 2:05:13Speaker 05

  Who you marry?

• 2:05:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Who you marry? Number two is if you're gonna have kids. Number three, relationship with God. Number four, career you're gonna take. Number five, who you're gonna be good friends with, that are gonna be long-term friends with you, right? Number six, one of them is, where do you live?

• 2:05:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:05:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Period. Where do you live? It's one of the biggest decisions you'll have to make in your life. And the level of respect I have for Californians to be this tolerant, that they're willing to take all of this, do you realize there's a place in heaven for these guys?

• 2:05:43Speaker 05

  Yeah, there has to be.

• 2:05:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Their level of, their ability to do that.

• 2:05:45Speaker 05

  Abuse and

• 2:05:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Nah, I'm telling you, I do think that they need to be like, what do you call it when they

• 2:05:51Speaker 05

  Nighted?

• 2:05:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Not nighted, like to make them saints.

• 2:05:53Speaker 05

  Oh, oh wow. Saints, that is. Oh yeah, where they touch them on both sides. Saints do the

• 2:05:58Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know how they do it, whatever it is, it's like Saint Armin.

• 2:06:01Speaker 05

  Oh, gotcha.

• 2:06:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Saint Sergius. Saint Jose.

• 2:06:04Speaker 05

  They're all there.

• 2:06:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Saint Ricky.

• 2:06:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:06:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Saint John, like, there's just a lot of saints.

• 2:06:08Speaker 05

  Nighted, sir.

• 2:06:11Speaker 05

  It's insane.

• 2:06:11Patrick Bet-David?

  I love you guys, I love you guys. Listen, I still, I, I, I love that place to go and, you know, haven't been there for a while. I used to go there, you know, I used to live there, and then I used to go to god knows how many times, 20 times a year, 12 times a year, then it went to six times, now it's once a year.

• 2:06:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, just my mom, they're all there.

• 2:06:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:06:28Speaker 05

  I have to go there to, you know.

• 2:06:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, alright, so, let's go to one story, that's just a very, very quick story, I don't want to go on this too long.

• 2:06:35Speaker 05

  Of what?

• 2:06:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Joe Walsh.

• 2:06:36Speaker 05

  Oh.

• 2:06:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Who we had on the podcast, apparently he came out and he said he has left the Republican Party. Can you show the other clip, Rob, of him talking about that he's left the Republican Party first? So he posted this video, nice hair, good-looking guy, go ahead, play the clip, Rob.

• 2:06:49Speaker 07

  I am a Democrat. Yesterday, I formally joined the Democratic Party and I couldn't be more excited and more proud. I love this country, I fucking love this country, and my former political party is a real and direct threat right now to everything we hold dear in this country. Hey, Democrats, we gotta fight. If if my becoming a Democrat does nothing else but then to help the Democratic Party fight, help us fight, help.

• 2:07:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, now go to the other clip when he was on the podcast. Democratic Party. Go to the, and listen, I don't know why he didn't do this. Go ahead, Rob. I hope the Democrats have a brush.

• 2:07:27Speaker 07

  I asked you a specific question.

• 2:07:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Which is what?

• 2:07:30Speaker 07

  Am I a Democrat?

• 2:07:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Based on what you're saying that you don't regret your vote? Of course you're a Democrat.

• 2:07:35Speaker 07

  That makes me a Democrat, even though I'm not a Democrat and I'm not a registered Democrat.

• 2:07:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Because you supported policies of a Democrat.

• 2:07:43Speaker 07

  Pat, there were, Pat, Pat.

• 2:07:45Patrick Bet-David?

  Or Republican.

• 2:07:46Speaker 07

  Republicans and independents voted for Biden.

• 2:07:49Patrick Bet-David?

  If I claim, if I claim I'm non-emotional.

• 2:07:52Speaker 07

  Come on, man. It's a nice podcast, but you gotta fucking deal in facts.

• 2:07:55Patrick Bet-David?

  If I claim I'm non-emotional, if I claim I'm non-emotional, which you're saying you're not, okay. If I claim I'm not, what part of your vote today?

• 2:08:03Speaker 07

  Did independents vote for Biden in 2020?

• 2:08:05Patrick Bet-David?

  What part of your vote today?

• 2:08:07Speaker 07

  He just doesn't listen.

• 2:08:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Because you haven't answered my question yet.

• 2:08:09Speaker 07

  How much longer is this, guys?

• 2:08:10Patrick Bet-David?

  You haven't answered my.

• 2:08:10Speaker 07

  I'm having a ball.

• 2:08:11Patrick Bet-David?

  You haven't answered my question yet.

• 2:08:12Speaker 07

  No, you know, I'm sitting five feet from you.

• 2:08:15Patrick Bet-David?

  I get that, three feet.

• 2:08:15Speaker 07

  Lift three feet.

• 2:08:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:08:16Speaker 07

  And I'm telling you to your face, I am not a registered Democrat.

• 2:08:21Patrick Bet-David?

  What part of the policies you voted for are you happy with today?

• 2:08:26Speaker 07

  I'm not happy with, let me finish a thought, brother.

• 2:08:30Patrick Bet-David?

  I want to hear it.

• 2:08:30Speaker 07

  I'm, as I've said before. I'm not happy with the vast majority of policies Biden has done. I'm not a Democrat. I don't regret my vote. Plenty of independents and Republicans voted for Biden too, Pat. They're not Democrats. Maybe they regret their vote, but they're not Democrats.

• 2:08:49Patrick Bet-David?

  But that's the difference, though.

• 2:08:50Speaker 07

  No, you called me a Democrat, man.

• 2:08:51Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a different, though. You you supported.

• 2:08:53Speaker 07

  You're un-American.

• 2:08:55Patrick Bet-David?

  You supported Democratic policies. You can't say that. Why would you say that? It's your opinion.

• 2:08:59Speaker 07

  Because he's calling, no, no, exactly. How stupid, Adam, is it for me to say that?

• 2:09:03Patrick Bet-David?

  But if you can validate, if you can validate the point.

• 2:09:06Speaker 07

  But Pat sits there and says, I'm a Democrat.

• 2:09:08Patrick Bet-David?

  But if you validate the point, I'll take it.

• 2:09:10Speaker 07

  I love you, man, and this is an emotional.

• 2:09:11Patrick Bet-David?

  If you validate the point, say it.

• 2:09:13Speaker 07

  But there's no point.

• 2:09:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Then tell me your policies. What, what policies you voted for? What policies you voted for?

• 2:09:19Speaker 07

  Pat?

• 2:09:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Are you happy for the vote?

• 2:09:20Speaker 07

  Pat?

• 2:09:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 2:09:21Speaker 07

  I'm not going to tell you a damn thing if you continue to call me a Democrat. Then tell me what policies you don't support.

• 2:09:30Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause it right there, Rob. This is just entertaining. He threatens to leave. The guy that said don't. Yeah, he threatens to leave. I think right after this. I don't know if you want to keep going. But he threatens to leave and Adam starts like, no, no, no, you don't have to leave.

• 2:09:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Did we lose audio, Rob?

• 2:09:44Speaker 07

  Hey Tyler, how much longer?

• 2:09:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Tell me the policies. That's how long. This is when he threatens to leave. Joe, you can get up and leave. I'm totally fine with it. We'll open the door for you.

• 2:09:50Speaker 07

  I may, and it's.

• 2:09:52Patrick Bet-David?

  You do that. Joe, you're gonna be fine. You're gonna stay there. You're good. No, no, no. I'm totally. Stay right there, buddy.

• 2:09:57Speaker 07

  This is not emotional.

• 2:09:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:09:59Speaker 07

  It really isn't.

• 2:10:01Patrick Bet-David?

  So they give me a logical answer.

• 2:10:02Speaker 07

  I'm not.

• 2:10:03Patrick Bet-David?

  You can pause it right here. You can pause it right here. I love that. Look, the only reason I play this clip is because I'm so proud of him. I just wanted to publicly congratulate Joe that you finally did it. Came out of the Democratic closet. And you ought to be proud of yourself. And this was a very, by the way, very simple message. Proud of you, Joe. Wish you all the best. Congratulations. And, you know, may your decision to finally be public about it, I hope that was a little bit of inspiration from this three-foot, you know. Conversation. Five feet, pal. Exchange that we had, that we were sitting right next to each other. It was a, it was, it was, it was an incredible moment that we had together that we will forever, for the rest of our lives, share. Joe, congrats.

• 2:10:41Speaker 07

  Welcome home.

• 2:10:42Patrick Bet-David?

  God bless. All the best. All right, so let's go to the next one here. According to a study, young men are not mentally ill enough to vote Democrat. That's the funniest headline I've heard in a long time. Right after this. Right after the.

• 2:10:55Speaker 07

  It gets better. Dive in.

• 2:10:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Dive in. Joe, skip this next part. But according to a study, young men are not mentally ill enough to vote Democrat. Okay, what is, this is offensive. Honestly, like when I read that, that's a little offensive, but let's read it. Maybe, maybe they have a good angle here. One of the biggest stories in Washington over the next four years is whether Democrats can rest back support among young men before the 2028 election. But to do that, the party must first understand why young male voters have flocked so heavily to the opposition party. American statistician Nate Silver dove into that question on Tuesday, finding that the mental health gap between men and women. Could be the crux of the divide.

• 2:11:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Citing a cooperative education study, Silver reported that around forty percent of Gen Z males considered their mental health very good or excellent by comparison to twenty percent of Gen Z females saying the same, so twice as better. Now, let's look at the party political preferences. According to this same study, fifty-one percent of conservatives say they have excellent mental health compared to just twenty percent of liberals. When asked if they have poor mental health, forty-five percent of liberals responded yes. Juxtaposed to just nineteen percent of conservatives. Put simply, those who report lower states of mental health like Gen Z females are more likely to vote Democrat.

• 2:12:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Further, Silver summarized that young men view Democrats as nits. What's a nit? Which he defined as neurotic. Risk averse, sticklers for the rules, always up in everyone's business. What a clever term. Tom, your thoughts on this?

• 2:12:37Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, suddenly, I agree with Nate Silver after an entire election campaign of just uncovering just craziness in the polling. But this is, it's out there. So, I think whoever did this at Outkick and put together the headline, props to you. According to a study, young men are not mentally ill enough to vote Democrat. That's just, props to you, the headline writer. But this is, you know, I think this is, there's a part of this beyond the laughter here and even my chuckles, that, you know, it kind of worries me. And, you know, is our divide in America also along lines of not just, you know, reacting

• 2:13:19Tom Ellsworth?

  to this, reacting to that, you know, border, economy, you know, all these things, COVID, but that actually, that there is also a line of, you know, whatever people understand the term mental health to be when they're answering this survey? And I think it's kind of sad. But there's another part of me that says, well, that explains that.

• 2:13:42Patrick Bet-David?

  That was your finish?

• 2:13:43Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, that's my finish. That explains that. Now to Vinnie with math.

• 2:13:49Patrick Bet-David?

  I thought you were...

• 2:13:51Adam Sosnick?

  By the way, Tom's gonna be performing at the Miami Improv this weekend. If you want to get your tickets.

• 2:13:56Tom Ellsworth?

  I'll be here all week.

• 2:13:59Adam Sosnick?

  Are you mentally ill if you're male?

• 2:14:01Tom Ellsworth?

  Remember Jewish jokes on Thursdays. Come on back.

• 2:14:03Adam Sosnick?

  Tom's got it on lock. Tom, you want to keep going?

• 2:14:09Tom Ellsworth?

  Anytime, just jump right in.

• 2:14:11Adam Sosnick?

  Male Democrats these days. I actually have a checklist that I use when I'm talking to my former friends. Still my friends, but former colleagues in the Democratic Party. This is the Democratic checklist. It's only three parts, so bear with me. Number one, are you gay? Yes or no? Alright, I get it. Why you vote gay? Alright, no? Alright, cool. Number two, do you have mental health issues? Are you on any sort of antidepressants? No? Okay. Number three, do you have TDS or do you hate Donald Trump? Usually, they're gonna check one of these three, if not all three. And if the answer is to no, no, no to all of them, they're more than likely an independent or Republican. And I've gone through this process. I had to say, am I gay? No, despite the internet comments.

• 2:14:56Adam Sosnick?

  Do I have mental health? Do I take antidepressants? No, okay. Do I hate Trump or have TDS? No, no, no. Okay, great. I'm an independent and I voted for Trump. That's the checklist.

• 2:15:08Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what sucks and what's good? Data. Very simple. You can tell, you know, we interview people a lot. And it's so interesting when you interview somebody. This just happened in the last couple of weeks. And, you know, I've been interviewing people for the last 23, 24 years as you're hiring people. You'll see a pattern. We interviewed somebody a couple of weeks ago. Within the interview, of the first 15 minutes, this person, he bashed his previous two jobs and made fun of it nonstop. And he talked about how scared he is of the economy today and how nervous he is. And this was, we were hiring this for a position in, you know, for a pretty heavy position

• 2:15:51Patrick Bet-David?

  job for one of the companies that we run. And...

• 2:15:57Patrick Bet-David?

  I sat there and asked myself, who would think like that? You know, who's gonna subscribe to that language? Who speaks that language? There's a language you speak, right? Like, today, you know what happened this morning? What happened? You know, I've been up since 5 o'clock, you know, but Senna's up since 6 o'clock. Senna was dressed downstairs, couldn't wait to come to the office. I love her. You know, she's been at the office since very early. Roller skating. Every day, she's working, she's going around, she works with merch, she works with this. Is it summer now? No. Remind me to tell you what she said to Alicia. You're gonna crack up, Alicia knows. Okay. You're gonna crack up what she says to Alicia. But she's around here walking, running, running, right?

• 2:16:38Patrick Bet-David?

  I went to my dentist yesterday, and I went to his office, this kid is wiping the window. Shout out to the dentist in Boynton, Spodeck. The son is wiping the window. He opens the door, "How are you, sir?" "Very good." How old? I walk in, 11 years old, I walk in. The, my dentist pulls up, Craig. "What's up, Patrick, how you doing?" "Great," we're walking in, father's there. "Oh my God, Patrick, let me tell you about the one video you talk about your father and da-da-da-da-da." "I always tell my son I love him." "Pleasure meeting you, go sit down." "You know, today we're celebrating Craig's father's 49 year anniversary being a dentist." "You gotta be kidding me, no."

• 2:17:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Grandfather, father, son, all in the same place. The language of responsibility, positivity is passed down. You speak that language because of the community you're a part of and the people you're around. Very simple. If you speak negative, defeated, you know, mental health, life is so hard, life is so this, economy sucks, all this. It's because you're around people that allow you to speak like that. If you're around me, I won't let you speak like that, or you're gonna eventually get sick of me. But I'm not gonna let you talk like that in front of my kids if you're negative. I'm like, look, man, we don't talk like that in front of our family. We just don't. There are certain behaviors we don't have. So either you change, or we cannot coexist. So when you see these types of stats coming out, you know what it means?

• 2:18:05Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the language that the democratic parents speak to their kids. They impose those fears. They impose those thoughts. They impose those non-existing stress and crisis and issues and mental illness that's taking place. That's what they do. So imagine how parents speak at night when the kid goes home. Imagine what mom says. "I'm so sick. I'm so sick. I'm so sick." My dad is the, you know, he's had health issues for god knows how long. Never, ever did he say anything about him being sick. We have a relative that's been saying, you know, he's sick for decades. And that person was the healthiest person. And my dad was sick as a dog. He would never talk about it. My dad could be sick, you would never know about it. He doesn't want to advertise it. It's a mindset that's passed down. It is a mindset that's passed on to them.

• 2:18:50Patrick Bet-David?

  So unfortunately, as much as these kids are going through this, it's because their parents are teaching those habits of behaving that way. Go watch Tom's kids. See how Brooke and Bailey are. Go around them and see how they are. Go around them and see how they carry themselves, how they behave, how they handle themselves. How they are around my boys, the relationship, how they get along. So folks, that could be a simple conversation as all of us as parents have to be very careful on the way we speak around our kids, how we act like victims, how it's unfair, let me tell you what happened, and da-da-da-da-da. Because your kids are gonna mimic that same mindset that you're going through yourself as well. Anyways, great podcast, really enjoyed today's conversations and discussion. Excited about what's going on with Her Take, folks.

• 2:19:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Tomorrow, Her Take is doing the first ever live episode. That's gonna be going out at 10 a.m. Okay, tomorrow will be 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. And guess who's joining us tomorrow? The great Tommy Lauren. Tommy Lauren will be on the podcast tomorrow, Her Take Live. Here very soon, we will do an episode where it's gonna be a live audience. And we will let you know when that takes place. We're excited about it. But it's Jillian, Anna Kasparian, Lindy Lee, Amy Dangerfield, and we'll have Tommy Lauren tomorrow. Very nice. Folks, if you want to see, and you know what's crazy is, people thought every one of the people that would be here would all be conservative. I don't even know if we have anybody on the panel that would fully be considered conservative. Of course, Tommy Lauren's the guest that's on. I'm sure you guess Tommy.

• 2:20:16Patrick Bet-David?

  But we want the debate of topics and issues. And the last episode, last couple of episodes they did was fire. They're doing great. They're growing. If you want to see a direct competitor to what the mainstream gave you, which is The View, and you want to see that grow, please go support the show called Her Take. Rob, if we can put the link below in the chat and the comment section, folks, just go subscribe. Put it in your calendar tomorrow 10 a.m. on Her Take. God bless everybody. Have a great weekend.
