  My handshake is better than anything I ever signs, right here.

• 0:18Patrick Bet-David?

  You are a one of one?

• 0:19Speaker 00

  My son's right, brother. I don't think I've ever said this before.

• 0:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Folks, hope you had a good weekend. We got a lot of stuff. To say this weekend was jam-packed, I think is an understatement. Uh, Tom, if you want to turn off your phone, please. To say this weekend was, uh, busy would be an understatement. With the amount of things that's going on, with the stories, with Jerome Powell investigation, what is that all about? Well. Right? Jerome Powell investigation. With, uh, Trump, uh, yesterday on Air Force One being asked about Iran. And one CNN person, I think, was asking, hey, do you think Iran takes your threat seriously? Can you imagine if somebody says to John Jones, hey, do you think the opponents still fear you? If they fight you? You know, the guy's undefeated. Hey, Khabib, do you think people still fear you?

• 1:10Patrick Bet-David?

  President Trump, do you think Iran's taking your threat seriously? Maybe, maybe they forgot you killed Qassem Soleimani. Maybe they forgot some of that stuff. Nope, they're taking the threat seriously because of what? Some of the things that's going on behind closed doors, we'll talk about that. Ilhan Omar will cover that with, uh, Meet the Press. Apparently, there's a million-dollar fraud restaurant that allegedly she's linked to. Mark Ruffalo, according to USA Today, used a war pedophile against Trump, which means there's another lawsuit coming out here soon. Good. The one story that's very interesting is the sonic weapons that they've been working on, uh, for 15 years, which this is apparently what they used in Venezuela.

• 1:53Patrick Bet-David?

  It severely incapacitates you. You don't know what's going on. You're throwing up. You're all over the place. And then they're able to come and do what they're doing and they leave. Okay, which we'll address here in a minute. Of course, with everything that's going on with Iran, we'll talk about the fog of war. Tesla Roadster is coming out with something that, uh, apparently some people are saying it can fly. You can put a $5,000 deposit right now to buy one. Trump wants $100 billion from oil companies. One of the guys said, listen, it's just Venezuela is too unstable and uninvestable right now. And then there's this debate with Grok nudity pictures, which Vinnie's testing out a lot. Vinnie's testing out a lot of these with himself. In the back, him and Humberto are showing me a picture of Vinnie on Grok. Send me the one by myself. Maybe send it to Rob.

• 2:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Send it to Rob, just me by myself. Picture, just do it himself, not her. And I'm like, should this be there or should they not be there? I think Keir Starmer's trying to do a sue. Keir Starmer is trying to sue them, but oh well. Maybe because the pictures didn't look when they did it with him, who knows? We'll talk about it. Heavy, heavy debate happened backstage. When we were talking about what would happen? If a friend of yours, 63 years old, very wealthy, wears nice suits. Say he's extremely smart. Say he, you know, makes you better, like he, you know, leaves you better than he found you. I'm just kind of making stuff up here, like this person is extra. He does a podcast anywhere you're at, okay?

• 3:18Patrick Bet-David?

  You could be in a church, it's quiet, he can start a podcast next to you and everyone's being disrupted. Say this man comes and is now dating a new girl. At what age would you judge him if he was 63 years old? Ooh, is this what we're doing? It's an interesting topic we're gonna go to later on. He just got all excited about it. Uh, Sergey Brin is also leaving, uh, what do you call it? California for another place. He may be following his buddy to, uh, Florida. Colombia's Petro to visit White House in February. Trump has talked about capping credit card rates. Some people are not happy about it. Bill Ackman called them out. Bill Ackman blasts Trump on the limit to, uh, to, to, to limit the credit cards.

• 4:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Interest rates for one year says it's a mistake. Uh, we don't want to be Americans, says Greenland political parties. They want to stay, you know, whatever they are. They definitely don't want to be Americans, what they're saying, but unfortunately that's not how life works. Greenland parties say people want independence from Denmark and from the US. The Signal chat where Silicon Valley is plotting against California's billionaire tax. Then there's, of course, we have to talk about the ICE protesting that's taking place. If anyone wants to talk about what two coaches, Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers said ripping the ICE agents, a new one, they were not happy about it, calling them racist, Steve Kerr had

• 4:43Patrick Bet-David?

  a lot of things to say about it, Stephen A. Smith responded to it, Jasmine Crockett responded to Stephen A., so did Don Lemon, just a bunch of things that's going on over here. Stephen A. ripped Keith Obelman, talking about the fact that he's walking around with a cane, asking if that cane is real, like, is that a real cane you're walking around with? Anyway, just a lot of stuff. Iran kills switch to hide alleged crimes as death toll rises amid protests. I spoke to a few people this weekend in Iran, from Iran, and some are saying the number now is at around 4,000, and that is Saturday morning when I shot the video, the death toll, it's not looking good for Iranians, it's a travesty what's taking place, and the president looks like they're moving very, and yesterday Lindsey Graham is giving a speech at this

• 5:26Patrick Bet-David?

  event, I don't know if you guys saw this clip or not, in the middle of the speech he says, "I may need to step away because at any point we may be having to take action against Iran." Anyway, so that's that, and then we got a few other stories that we'll get into. Dear Abby, do you have that Dear Abby clip, Rob, from CNN where she says, "Well, why is it when President Obama deported 3 million people, we never saw this stuff on the news?" It's like, why do you think? Because you didn't cover it. Do you understand what she's saying? That we deported 3 million, and it was so peaceful, people agreed to leave to a different place. Anyways, let me tell you what's going on and who the real MVP in America is, the last four weeks, the last three weeks. You know who the real MVP in America is?

• 6:08Patrick Bet-David?

  That unfortunately, they will not get the credit, they will not be talked about, you will not know their names, you will not be able to give to their GoFundMe, you will not be able to do anything with those guys. You know who the real MVP the last few weeks has been in America? The Delta Force. The Delta Force. When I was in the Army, I asked my orders to be, I was gonna go be 18 Delta, 5th Group, I did all my interviews, I got my orders, I was gonna re-enlist six years, go to DLI, go to SER school, go to, you know, airborne, go to Special Forces, and then I was gonna go straight to Vincenza, Italy, to be in that area, my friend ends up getting the orders, he ends up becoming Delta. The stuff you're hearing about on how they're going in in Venezuela and how they got them, the reports that are coming out, unreal.

• 6:52Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, you know who's watching that very quickly? Khamenei in Iran better be watching very closely because our Delta Force is really strong. If they want to do something, they could get a lot of stuff done. So, guess what is back? You know these USA hats? That we had, these beautiful USA hats? With the "Future Looks Bright" on the side? And a "Future Looks Bright" on the bottom? These sell out within seconds when we launched these. If you haven't picked one of these up, you love America, there's never been a more important time, especially 250 year anniversary, to go wear this. This is the USA, the USA on the front, American flag on the side, "Future Looks Bright" on the back, and then you got "Future Looks Bright" here. You can go back on this link, Rob, if you can put it below.

• 7:35Patrick Bet-David?

  We also have the shirts to go with it. Go back on that page as well, it's right there. If you could, there's the shirts to go with it, there's the different kind of hats for women, for men, go a little bit lower if you could, Rob. But if you haven't yet ordered one of these USA hats, buy one for yourself, for a friend, for a family member who loves America. Anybody who wears this with the USA being lifted, they love these hats. One of the fan favorites that we have. Click on the link below, order a few, give it away to your friends, colleagues, and employees. Having said that, let's get right into it. What story should we start off with? Um, Rob, why don't we start off with the president yesterday on Air Force One? Yesterday, the president is on Air Force One, and you know his typical where he stands

• 8:20Patrick Bet-David?

  between the two areas and he's doing his interviews. He's being asked all these different questions, and it's four of them that I want to go through. One of them, Rob, if you want to start off with, you can talk about the talking, "Do you think Iran's taking your threats seriously?" Can you imagine talking to a guy that previously took out their number two guy in Iran, Qasem Soleimani, and the reporter has the audacity to ask you if Iran's taking your threats seriously? Go ahead, Rob.

• 8:48Speaker 02

  I think so. Don't you think so? CNN, don't you think so? Wouldn't you say that they probably do it this way? After going through it for years with me? Being hit, Soleimani, al-Baghdadi, the Iran nuclear threat wiped out? Don't you think, and then you just had Venezuela, don't you think, she says, CNN, do you think they take your threat seriously? Wouldn't you say they do after all of the things we've done? What a stupid question.

• 9:19Patrick Bet-David?

  How do you ask a question like that? Like, what, what, can you do me a favor? Be the other side.

• 9:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Okay.

• 9:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Like, play the other side. Be a liberal. Be a person right now.

• 9:29Tom Ellsworth?

  Do I have to curl my hair and put on glasses and be LGBT?

• 9:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, honestly, make the argument for a person that has this reputation to say, who just went and took out Maduro, okay? Who just went, and he told him, "I'm gonna do this to you", who just went and took out, you know, the stuff that he's done? How, make the argument why that's a good question to ask.

• 9:48Tom Ellsworth?

  I don't know if I can make the argument, but I can make the description. The liberals and the mainstream media, they don't take him seriously. They do not take Trump seriously. They use all sorts of words to describe him.

• 9:59Patrick Bet-David?

  You think they still don't take him seriously?

• 10:01Tom Ellsworth?

  Huh?

• 10:02Patrick Bet-David?

  You think the liberal media still doesn't take him seriously?

• 10:04Tom Ellsworth?

  No. I do not think CNN takes him seriously at all. Because the only way you are able to ask that question is if you are, A, deluded and not paying attention. Not paying attention to all those facts that he put out. All those facts. Or you just believe in it in your heart that he is, is incapable, shouldn't have been there, the election should have gone the other way. You just believe that. Denial is an incredibly powerful drug.

• 10:31Speaker 04

  But I, but again, this is CNN, Tommy. First of all, I would never even allow them on my airplane, number one.

• 10:37Tom Ellsworth?

  Well, there's a door, they could step out.

• 10:39Speaker 04

  No, I get it, but, but number two, it's, it's, Tom, they, they're not stupid. They know they take him serious, but anything to make him look weaker, anything to make him look non-presidential, or, like I said, like, weak or fragile, but he, but he has the receipts. He's going in, he's doing surgical stuff to, to, to take out these people. CNN, at- At the end of the day, Tom, they're not stupid. They know exactly what they're doing. They, and here's my question, though. Who, where do these questions come from? I don't think the reporters get to just go willy nilly like how we are here with our stories and stuff like that. Who's giving them the okay to say, okay, go in there and ask him this question? Producer in their ear. Exactly, so it's coming from, it's coming from headquarters CNN, okay? Undermine the president, make him look weak, but guess what? You're messing with the freaking lion, like he's gonna give a damn.

• 11:22Patrick Bet-David?

  It's only validating him, by the way.

• 11:24Speaker 04

  Exactly.

• 11:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Play the next clip, Rob, play the next clip.

• 11:27Speaker 02

  There should be some people killed that aren't supposed to be killed.

• 11:31Patrick Bet-David?

  This is Iran.

• 11:31Speaker 02

  These are violent. If you call them leaders, I don't know if they're leaders or just they, they rule through violence. But we're looking at it very seriously, the military is looking at it. And we're looking at some very strong options, we'll make a determination. Some of the protesters were killed through the stampeding, I mean, you know, there's so many of them. And some were shot. We're getting a full report, I'm getting an hourly report. And we're gonna make a determination.

• 12:00Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, the numbers right now is 11,000 protesters have been arrested, okay? The number they're reporting is 500, over 500 killed, that's now being reported by mainstream media. People on the streets are saying the numbers are on 4,000, if not even higher. And while this is taking place, probably the biggest thing in Iran that the mainstream media doesn't want to talk about is the following. Can you ask ChatGPT and just to see what reports come up? Do you know how many mosques in Iran have been burned down? Do you know how many mosques they're burning down? Iranians.

• 12:37Speaker 04

  And why?

• 12:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, because what they're saying is, they're saying, we're Persian, but we're not Islamist.

• 12:43Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 12:44Patrick Bet-David?

  They're burning down mosques because they're done with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Do you know what is one of the biggest countries of losing? Guys, can you turn off that ringtone on your phone? Do you know what is one of the biggest countries that's losing converts from Islam to Christianity? You know what it is? Iran's at the top of the list.

• 13:02Speaker 04

  Really?

• 13:03Patrick Bet-David?

  People are leaving. They're leaving and they're saying, I want a different life in Iran. FYI, the internet now, which, Rob, Tom, I'm gonna go to the story and I'm coming straight to you. In Iran, the story you hear about is the kill switch. Iran flips the kill switch to hide alleged crimes as death toll rises amid protests. Okay, so the kill switch is what? The internet, okay? And electricity. Iranian regime triggered an internet kill switch in an apparent effort to hide alleged abuse by security forces. And as protests against it surged nationwide, a cybersecurity expert has claimed the blackout slashed internet access to a fraction of normal levels on the 13-day protest.

• 13:47Patrick Bet-David?

  As rights groups, including Amnesty International, accused the regime of using lethal forces against protesters. This is Iran's war against its own population using digital means. Okay, Netblocks CEO Al Toker told Fox News Digital, "This was a piecemeal measure that eventually encompassed the entire country." With the government willing to use this kind of measure for an extended period of time, there would be an empty attempt by the regime to cover up the crimes that it may have committed. So this blackout could potentially last for days, if not for weeks. This group also reported on more than 2,300 people have been arrested and that demonstrations

• 14:31Patrick Bet-David?

  have spread to at least 180 cities nationwide. Most of those killed were protesters, the groups at town. Thoughts?

• 14:37Tom Ellsworth?

  In the history of dictators that have been overrun, people going back to Pol Pot in Vietnam, after the Pol Pot in Cambodia, the killing fields, turning off the media is the tool of the aggressor. And isolating the people from communication is the tool of the aggressor. We have seen it in other failed states. We saw it in Uganda, turning off phones under Idi Amin. There were so many things that people do to turn off the communications. And the reason they're turning this off, you were on Fox on Sunday, Pat, Sunday morning, and you talked about it, that there are people out there, credible people, that had Starlink

• 15:20Tom Ellsworth?

  and other resources that are saying the number is higher. Look, what does the regime want? The regime wants to put the number lower. They want the world to say, hey, there were some protests. There have been some people here, but it's not a lot. We're letting them protest. They have their say, but that's it. However, the protesters are saying, no, that's not true. In certain areas, they are committing atrocities. You're committing slaughter, and the number is much higher. If the number is high and it gets out to the Western media, guess who responds? DJT47 already said, you be careful. If you exercise undue force and you start killing these protesters, I will... The US stands ready to help.

• 16:05Tom Ellsworth?

  "The USA stands ready to help," was the quote. And so, they can't have big numbers come out because the big guy is gonna show up. Because we see this as a protest of the people who are lawfully assembling in the streets and are just tired of the dark side of it.

• 16:23Patrick Bet-David?

  You know who the internet is hurting the most? You know who the internet electricity is? The regime. The internet is destroying the regime because they need to make money. So guess what? I don't think it's gonna be weeks. I think they have to open it up here soon. And if they do or they don't, think about it from this standpoint. Imagine President Trump and his team. What do you think they're telling them? What do you think that call sounds like? Because he's saying, Rob, I don't know if you have the clip, that says, they're talking, they want to renegotiate. Do you have that one that, you know, they have reached out to us, they're negotiating with us?

• 17:00Tom Ellsworth?

  They changed the subject and said that...

• 17:01Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have that?

• 17:02Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, they said, "We're willing to talk about a nuclear deal and other things." Why are you changing the subject? Why do you want to talk about a nuclear deal and change the subject? Really? You got some problems there, regime?

• 17:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Is this it, Rob? Go ahead and play this clip. Watch this, folks.

• 18:19Speaker 02

  With Iran?

• 18:20Speaker 07

  Yeah, do you think they want to engage diplomatically with you?

• 18:22Speaker 02

  They do. They called...

• 18:25Speaker 07

  They called you?

• 18:26Speaker 02

  Yesterday. Iran called to negotiate.

• 18:29Speaker 07

  Yesterday?

• 18:30Speaker 02

  Yesterday. The leaders of Iran called, they want to negotiate. I think they're tired of being beat up by the United States.

• 18:38Speaker 02

  Iran wants to negotiate, yes. We may meet with them. I mean, a meeting is being set up. But we may have to act because of what's happening before the meeting. But a meeting is being set up. Iran called, they want to negotiate. Thank you very much.

• 18:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so, and Adam, I'm going to come to you right now. So when you think about that, here's what it comes down to. What do you think if the president is speaking to them? The best thing about what we have right now is the following. We want to buy this property, okay? Guy comes to me, makes a massive offer for this property, okay? And it's 2X what I bought it for. Why? He's trying to buy everything down here, the investor, because he wants to tear this place down and build high rises and units, okay? Now luckily, I own it, so if I don't want to do it because, you know, where I live, okay, so it could be... But if somebody wants to come buy this, what are they going to look at? Comp's. Of course. Okay, what are the comps? Next door, bigger lot, newer property, sold for 4.8 million.

• 19:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, this is worth, whatever, 4.4 million, right? Hey, the guy next door just sold for 7.8 million, smaller lot, older property, this is worth 8.2 million. What is the best comp? That Iranians have right now to know exactly, at least to get an idea of what the president is capable of doing. What is the best comp to Iran that we have right now? Venezuela. Venezuela. Okay, so what did? Knock, knock. What did they call and give Maduro as an option? Turn yourself in. Turn yourself in and get out. And leave. They gave him the heads up. Did they give him that option? Hundred percent. Okay, so what did he do? Several times. He stayed. He chose to ignore them and get doubled down, "Come for me!"

• 20:24Patrick Bet-David?

  But guess what though? Because to him, he didn't want to lose face to walk out. Okay, he wanted to what? Come get me. By the way, in a way, respect. To be honest with you, respect. Come get me. All right. Do you think there's a likelihood that they've given that option to the Iranian regime as well? Probably. You think they have? Okay, that's probably one. Number two, what do you think the Iranian leaders are gonna say? Comment? Do you think they're gonna turn themselves in? Absolutely not. No chance whatsoever. No chance. Okay, so that's. Different mindset. Different mindset. Remember when I asked the president about the Iran situation? And I said, "What do you do with Iran and what do you do with this?" He says, "Your mind has to be what?" Remember the word he used? It was a swivel?

• 21:08Patrick Bet-David?

  He says, "You have to be ready to go any direction." Yes. It could be good for this, it could be different for this. Rob, do you remember that conversation when I was asking him? If you can pull it up. You gotta be flexible. It was a different word that he used. But it's flexible is what it means. To me, that's one option. What are the other options? Send Delta. What are the other options? Attack. What are the other options? So think about it. When you're watching this and he's saying, "We're talking to them, but we may not have to wait till the negotiation takes place because we may need to..." Act. He pauses, was about to use a different word, and he says, "Act." Right? What do you think is going on here, Adam?

• 21:47Adam Sosnick?

  So for me, the signal through all the noise is that Iran has been humiliated in the last two years. You know, they've been a paper tiger and they've been exposed. The 12-day war in Israel. Israel won matter-of-factly. Israel took away all their proxies in two years. All that money they invested in all their proxies, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, all gone, done, dissipated. Number two, all the money they've spent on the nuclear program, US, Trump comes in, boom, B-52 bombers, whatever they were, stealth, whatever you want to call it, it's gone. So they've been exposed and humiliated. So it's kind of like the guy that's like, "Oh yeah, bro? You want to go?

• 22:32Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, meet me outside, dude. Whatever you say, let's go." And you go outside with him and you knock him out. And now he's like, "Yeah, yeah, you want to go round two?" And then you knock him out again. And at what point are your words just going to be completely hollow? How many speeches have we seen the Ayatollah say, "The enemies will bow on their knees"? Nobody's scared of you, buddy. Yeah, yeah. Everyone's clowning you at this point. You're an 85-year-old man that absolutely nobody fears, especially your enemies. Here's the biggest thing that I can tell you. This weekend, I was watching movies. And I happened to watch with my girl this movie called Sleeping with the Enemy. You ever see this movie? Old school.

• 23:15Adam Sosnick?

  Julia Roberts, she falls in love with this abusive control freak. There's a story here about Iran. And there's three phases of an abusive relationship. Number one, there's attachment. Love, emotion, you're not thinking clearly, you're ignoring logic. "I don't know, there's something about him I love." Number two, entrapment. He's got you now. Control. You're under his wings. You have to basically deviate your life. You're telling your friends certain things, you know? You recognize there's issues, he's controlling everything. All of a sudden, you realize, "This isn't what I signed up for." And then number three, eventually... There's liberation. You're gonna get caught, you're gonna get beat, just like the people of Iran are going to jail.

• 24:00Adam Sosnick?

  How many people are losing their lives? Let's not let these people die in vain. And eventually, she gets free, and eventually, the storybook ending with the people of Iran, of Great Persia, they will eventually be free.

• 24:13Speaker 04

  Vinnie. You know, and I know you guys, you guys know me, I've said this how many times? I'm not one of these, like, people that just wants America, because I hate that we're, I hate that we were put in, we were put in the position of being the world's police, and I, no, Iraq, I don't know how many times I have to tell you guys, I don't want us poking our noses in other people's business if we don't have to. There is something happening in the world right now, it's like a global awakening. With Venezuela, it's happening, with Iran, it's happening, it's starting to spread. And, and by the way, this only comes, Pat, when you have an actual leader. And the left, I don't listen to all that noise, I love that you said signal versus noise, again, Adam. I don't care about the noise, I don't care what the Chenk Ungar, whatever his name is, I don't care what the hairy sisters say, these people are allergic to real leadership.

• 24:58Speaker 04

  You have a boss that's in there that's not playing games, he's not gonna let China, and by the way, this weekend, China, Russia, and Iran, were playing Navy games, Pat, they're all teaming up and they want to show their force, but you have a boss that's in there right now, that's not gonna let our enemies, I don't, I don't like this word adversaries, you're not gonna get close to us, you're not gonna be setting up shop in Venezuela, and with Iran, I'm sorry, it's the people. I don't give a damn what anybody on the left says, Patrick, the people are fighting and they're dying for what they believe in, okay, they're fighting, and good for them, and God bless them, and I love that, the fact that you said that Christianity is on the rise. I know I said it last week where I'm like, maybe they need a Christian leader, maybe they need something completely different, because if they go back to the old school

• 25:43Speaker 04

  and put another Chomani in, that's Islamist and all this, then, then all this work is for nothing. And Pat said something this weekend, Pat, that hit me. On Fox and Friends, Pat said, "Look at how God is lining up everything, if you look at the signs, Donald Trump is a 47th president, it's taken them 47 years and they're doing this." And guess how old this guy is who's from Iran? 47 years old. It's as if everything is lining up to do it, and it gives me hope. It's hope, and maybe, Tom, this spreads to like our North Korea where these people are under a dictator, Pat. I think it's an amazing thing, and I think what the president is doing is freaking awesome, and I'm with them 100%.

• 26:19Tom Ellsworth?

  Period. I'm with you, and I think there's some things there that the American people are starting to understand that the American media is ignoring. Because they, American media sees Islam as a race. Yes. And they say them Arabs, Arabic people from the Middle East are Islam, and all Islam is Arabic, right? They have this weird thing. Because they want to put everything in a race box, so that they have a victim box, and then in the victim box, they have an advocacy. Right? Because that's the way that they manage and manipulate voting groups. And that's the way Minnesota, whoops, found out that the little pit bull they adopted, and all the Somalis, has grown up, and oh my gosh, it's quite a dog now.

• 27:02Tom Ellsworth?

  But the mainstream media doesn't understand the history of Iran. They are Persians. Yes. And they are rebelling against what they see as the violent Islamic, the IRC. Pat was trying to talk about it on Fox. I wish his segment had another five minutes. Me too. Because he could have laid it out. Because Pat's an expert on Iran. And I was listening to this, and I'm like, they don't get it. They're trying to put all of these repressed people, you know, and all these people that are protesting, they're trying to put them in a box, but whoops, they're fighting for freedom. Whoop, that's against narrative. Weird. They're fighting against totalitarian control. Oh, against control? They don't want to be manipulated by the government. Whoops. So the American mainstream media doesn't know what box to put in these people that want their freedom in Iran.

• 27:46Tom Ellsworth?

  And they, it doesn't fit into the race, you know, culture, victim box, where they want to put everybody in a label. And so they don't cover it. And they're not covering the whole thing. They're actually covering for the regime. Who is the sympathizer for totalitarian fascism now? Yeah. The US mainstream media.

• 28:02Adam Sosnick?

  Can I ask you a question? So, I was doing some research, maybe you can validate this? It says, I said, what percentage of the Iranian people are pro, regime, against the regime, and then neutral? Right? According to these records, about 70 to 75% are against the regime.

• 28:21Tom Ellsworth?

  Weird.

• 28:22Adam Sosnick?

  Pro is about 10 to 15%, and neutral 10 to 15%? Any way you want to cut it.

• 28:28Patrick Bet-David?

  That sounds about right. Some would say higher against, but I think that's a reasonable number. There was a research that was done that I think the number I remember is, you know, 80%. What is that showing, Rob?

• 28:41Tom Ellsworth?

  Eighty-nine percent of Iranians support democracy.

• 28:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Eighty-nine percent. Okay, yeah, that's why I said some people would say the number is higher.

• 28:48Adam Sosnick?

  Can I ask you another follow-up? Okay, so we're agreement on these numbers.

• 28:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 28:51Adam Sosnick?

  So you're Christian, proudly Christian.

• 28:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Yes.

• 28:54Adam Sosnick?

  You know, what a lot of Americans don't understand is there's two major sects of Islam. There's Sunni and Shia, correct? Shia, Shiites, is predominantly based in Iran. And I think the vast majority of the population is Shia Muslim. As a Christian, what was life like for a Christian prior to 1979, before the Islamic Revolution? And you know, you're talking about bringing a Christian as a leader. I don't know how that would work. I would assume they would want a Shiite leader. I don't know. Walk me through the religions component in Iran now.

• 29:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Pre?

• 29:30Adam Sosnick?

  What it was before?

• 29:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, nobody cared.

• 29:32Adam Sosnick?

  Thank you.

• 29:33Patrick Bet-David?

  You weren't like, nobody cared what you were. Nobody cared what you were. I mean, and even, you know, Muammar Ghazal Shah Pahlavi himself wasn't the most religious guy.

• 29:44Adam Sosnick?

  He was Muslim though. He was Shiite Muslim?

• 29:45Patrick Bet-David?

  He was Shiite Muslim, but it's not what you have today and not what you're experiencing today. Not at all. People walked around regular, comfortable, woman had rights, woman had power. No nine-year-old marrying a 52-year-old man. That kind of stuff was illegal under the Shah. He brought education and he did an amazing job. And the criticism they'll typically give him, they'll bring up Savak. They'll say, well, what about his secret police? What about a secret police called Savak? Well, what about CIA? What about MI6? What about Mossad? Well, what do you think you need to do if you're building a country to have an empire? You need to have people that are kind of giving you intel on what is taking place. And then post, not even the same. You couldn't walk around Christianity openly wearing a cross out.

• 30:28Patrick Bet-David?

  It was not the same thing post-Khomeini. It was a complete different world post-Khomeini. But let me kind of bring you to today on. What is the difference between now than before? Here's the difference between now and before. Then, if you think about, do you think Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi independently came in and replaced Mossadegh? Or do you think somebody intervened? Do you think the CIA, the MI6 intervened to bring a Mohamed Reza Shah Pahlavi to be the king of Iran? Or you think he did it independently?

• 31:07Adam Sosnick?

  It was likely intervention from what we understand, right?

• 31:09Patrick Bet-David?

  I would say 95%. Of course there's intervention. What did Mossadegh want to do with the oil? He wanted to make it nationalize it, okay?

• 31:16Adam Sosnick?

  Like what he did in Venezuela.

• 31:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so, of course.

• 31:19Tom Ellsworth?

  You tell me about a treaty of 1954?

• 31:22Patrick Bet-David?

  1954 consortium, oil agreement consortium?

• 31:25Tom Ellsworth?

  It was almost like a constitution.

• 31:27Patrick Bet-David?

  And it was a 25-year contract that they signed. But here's the thing with that. So think about it, think about the intervention. They brought in the Shah. The Shah was a dealmaker, he did deals, so oil companies were happy, similar to, you know, what happened afterwards. Then when he became too powerful, he was talking about maybe raising prices. In an interview with Mike Wallace, he says, "Why are you raising prices on oil?" Can you pull up this clip? They're asking him, "Why are you raising prices on oil?" He says, "Why am I raising prices on oil?" He says, "Yes." He says, "Why are they raising prices on corn? Why are they raising prices on everything? You think what I'm buying right now is the same prices? They're raising prices on everything with me. What am I supposed to do? Sit there and take all the increases on my end?

• 32:11Patrick Bet-David?

  But then they pay the same price for oil? No, I have a product you want. And by the way, I agree with them. Good. As a businessman, so imagine, you sell lumber, I sell sheets, I sell whatever cement supply that you want. And I'm coming to you, you raise the prices on me 80%. Not because the market's gone up 80%. Just. You just choose to raise prices by 80%, but you expect me to charge you same price for oil? What do you think the guy, what do you think the person's gonna do? Are you out of your mind? No. The moment, now here's the part, the moment they realized. He was about to strong arm other people with oil. That's when they said, we gotta get rid of this guy.

• 32:53Patrick Bet-David?

  And then they thought Khomeini was gonna be better than him. And then Carter, who you could say was a non-interventionist. So let me explain to you how this works. Intervened, Reza Shah Pahlavi comes in. Mohammed Reza Shah Pahlavi comes in. The Middle East is peaceful. Jimmy Carter, non-intervene, Khomeini comes in. So this debate between intervention and non-intervention. You know what it ends up being? Here's the part. It is never, uh, fluid. That's the word the president used. We are fluid when it comes on to decision-making. There is situations that you shouldn't intervene. And there are situations that you should intervene.

• 33:35Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, what percentage of the time you think you shouldn't intervene? Should not intervene? Should not intervene. Ninety percent of the time. I think ninety-five percent of the time. Stay out of it unless you absolutely have to. Ninety-five percent of the time you should not intervene. Yeah, I fully agree. Now, watch, if, if, say, Iran falls, Khomeini falls, somebody else goes in his place. And the place is peaceful. Do you think we have the war with Afghanistan? Do you think we have, uh, what happened with weapons? Do you think we have all this stuff that's gonna be taking place? Probably not. Do you think it's gonna be the same issues that is taking place with all these other places in the Middle East? Who does that benefit? So that, that's the part that, that is going on right now. Now, bring it to today. Last forty-seven years. What is the biggest difference between the last forty-seven years and today? One thing.

• 34:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Last forty-seven years, the IRGC's been their control last forty-seven years. Khomeini, Khomeini, forty-seven years they've had control, right? Last forty-seven years, the number one draft pick to go back to Iran, to help Iran be free again is who? Reza Pahlavi, who I've been very critical of. And I'm gonna continue to criticize this guy. Even though I'm seeing play offense right now, which is good. I like what he's doing. He is playing offense. Forty-seven years, he has been a number one candidate. So for forty-seven years, if it benefited him to say good things about Biden, he did. If it benefited him to say good things about Obama, he did. If it benefited him to say good things about Bush, he did. Now, he's on TV saying, well, under Biden and Obama, this would never happen, but under Trump.

• 35:03Patrick Bet-David?

  And now he's pleading to Trump. Which, by the way, it's better late, it's better late than never. At least you're doing it, which is good. So the only difference is what? President Trump today is the guy. Finally, with enough of the pressure, this is, this is one of the issues that you have to realize that happens in the Iranian community, which it becomes cult-like. Yes. Let me explain. Some of Reza Pahlavi's supporters, you know who they sound like? Let me tell you who they sound like. There was this guy that reacted and he said a couple of things in a video, I got 50 videos sent my way. I was seeing those all weekend. I mean, it's, listen, it's being sent to me my way, it's non-stop. Let me tell you, who got those videos? You know who got those videos on 2015, 2016?

• 35:49Patrick Bet-David?

  A guy named President Trump. Who did he get it from? People that were rhinos? People that were Republican traditional rhinos who were always, it's the Karl Rove way, it's the Bush way, that's the, you have to come get through me, and Trump's like, I don't need to get through you, who the hell are you? I don't need your approval to go through RNC, I'm sorry, I made my own money. I don't need your help, you go begging people for money. I don't go around begging people for money. I'm my own man. Trump made it clear. He's his own man. And then you realize, there's a cult on the Republican side with Rhino. There's a cult on the Democratic side, God forbid if you oppose Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side. You know who this is happening to on the Democratic side right now? Stephen A. Smith. Look what they're doing.

• 36:34Patrick Bet-David?

  God forbid you call out the black Democrats, which he's doing. What is happening to him? You're an Uncle Tom, you're a this, Michelle Obama's calling him out, Don Lemon called him out, Crockett called him out, all this weekend they're calling him out, right? So I think a little bit of pressure, he's never had. He's never had an opponent. So he finally has some pressure. However, his last seven tweets, his last seven tweets, I don't know how many of them are directed to Trump. Stephen A. Smith or Reza Pahlavi? No, no, no, Reza Pahlavi. Which by the way, I love it. Good. Good for him, because you know what he's starting to realize? You can't do it by yourself. No. Some Iranians who criticize, they're like, just leave us alone. We can do this. Yeah, really? We don't need anybody's help.

• 37:19Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, you need Trump's help. Period.

• 37:22Adam Sosnick?

  Oh my.

• 37:23Patrick Bet-David?

  You, you need Trump's help. Stop acting like you don't need anybody's help. You definitely need Trump's help to go out there and pull this off. You need America's help. Without America and any of this stuff, it hasn't happened. I wish Reza Pahlavi would have met with the president 10 years ago, 11 years ago, 8 years ago, 7 years ago, 6 years ago, 5 years ago, 4 years ago, 3 years ago, 2 years ago, 1 year ago. I hope he would have reached out.

• 37:46Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 37:46Patrick Bet-David?

  But he hasn't. But I will tell you, it's better late than never. If they, if he approaches to play a game, by the way, this whole thing that they're doing as well, I'm convinced a big part why Khamenei and Iran has shut down the internet. I'm also convinced they don't want to see the videos that are going viral here directing them what to do. I'm convinced they don't want to see that either. So the biggest difference on why I believe, if I rank it here, I'm ranking the most important people that are helping this regime take place if it becomes free again. Number 1, who's a number 1 group of people that are helping this happen?

• 38:27Patrick Bet-David?

  The Iranian people in Iran. They're number 1. Without them, nothing else matters. They're number 1. You know who's a number 2 person that is helping this revolution possibly happen? It's the guy in the White House. You know who's number 3? Most likely Delta Force. You know who's number 4? I have Reza Pahlavi as number 4. He's playing a role now this last week, these last 2 weeks. And then number 5 is the pressure to hurry up and go, urgency to get it done. So, yes, but the biggest factor after the people

• 39:00Patrick Bet-David?

  is Trump. We've never had a guy like Trump that is getting behind it. The Iranian people are so glad that he's out there putting the threat because these people in Iran are starting to feel the fear that something could possibly happen. There's a few places if they were going to attack that I would, you know, encourage them to be thinking about, but that's a whole different story. Anyways, uh, uh, uh, Vinny, your thoughts?

• 39:23Speaker 04

  Uh, I mean, like you said, step up and the urgency. It's like, like you have this opportunity and I saw some of those videos of just angry Persian men wearing sunglasses in a car yelling in a hot ass car in California. "Oh, we don't need you and stay out." Forty-seven years? What, what are you guys doing? Biding your time? Okay? The time is now. People are trying to get involved. For them to go after you, it's as if you're not from there. As if you didn't have to flee and go to a frickin', uh, refugee camp with your family. All the stuff that comes with it, all the trauma, all the everything. And, and I get it. It comes with the territory, Pat. You're gonna open your mouth, you care about the people, as if you have some investment that you give a damn about. Your investment is the people. Your investment is Iran.

• 40:08Speaker 04

  Your investment is to be able to go on an airplane, fly where you were born, and not worry about getting your head chopped off because of stuff that you said about the frickin' people that are in charge.

• 40:17Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, even the guy, the, the, the, one guy called him the angry little elf. Even that guy, that was upset, saying what he was saying.

• 40:25Speaker 04

  Yeah. Sweating in his car for no reason.

• 40:27Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what I will tell you? I understand emotions. You know why? This is a very sensitive time.

• 40:32Speaker 04

  For sure.

• 40:32Patrick Bet-David?

  This is something that's important to you.

• 40:34Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 40:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Your entire life, you've been waiting for this. You've dedicated your life to this. Intensity is so high. Emotions are so high. During the fog of war, Humberto was saying this in the back. You, you know, the whole concept of fog of war? What, what does fog of war mean?

• 40:51Speaker 04

  There's so much happening. You, like, things that are said are misconstrued. Bombings are happening, people are dying. It's so much is happening.

• 40:58Tom Ellsworth?

  And speed.

• 40:58Speaker 04

  It's a fuck.

• 40:59Tom Ellsworth?

  The situation is changing with great speed.

• 41:01Speaker 04

  It's a lot of confusion.

• 41:02Tom Ellsworth?

  And you're only getting partial information, or you're getting obstructed information.

• 41:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Confusion caused by the chaos of war or battle.

• 41:08Speaker 04

  So much is happening.

• 41:09Patrick Bet-David?

  With Iran, right now, we are in the fog of war.

• 41:13Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 41:13Patrick Bet-David?

  And there are the people that have their own strong opinions and their loyalty. The people that, no matter what Reza Pahlavi does, that he's never gonna get their support.

• 41:22Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 41:22Patrick Bet-David?

  They're not supporters of him because they're like, "You've took everybody's money, you've never had a job in your life, you call yourself a fighter pilot, but you've never been to war before." That's like saying I'm a boxer, but I've never been in a ring before. You think very highly of yourself. You've lived in America for forty-seven, forty-eight years. Even you left before the war happened, the revolution happened in Iran. You have no place for this, that he's never gonna win these guys over. Then there's the guys over here that no matter what it's gonna be what, Reza Pahlavi, he can't do anything wrong in their eyes.

• 41:49Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 41:49Patrick Bet-David?

  And then you have the different political factions in Iran that are doing their thing. Then you have the outside who could care less about Iran. Somebody that's living in America that's like, I'm America first, non-interventionist. Who gives a shit what's going on in Iran? That's the community as well. Then you got mainstream media that wants to report based on what they're being told. Then you got the small group of people in the twenty percent that are in the middle saying, honestly, what the hell is going on? Who do I trust? Who do I believe? They said that guy's part of this. They said this guy's part of that. The other day like, oh, Patrick's part of, uh, uh, Mojahedin. Mojahedin is MAK. Who are, you know, Islamist, communist, Marxist, you know, but, but here's a part though.

• 42:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Even if five percent believes it, that's part of the fog of war. I am not worried about the fog of war. If we go right now, the way we're going, the amount of pressure that's on Iran, on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, something's going to break. Something's going to break. My long-term concern is a complete different thing, but I think you got a question.

• 42:55Adam Sosnick?

  One question.

• 42:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 42:56Adam Sosnick?

  This whole concept of intervention or isolationism, right? I see people coming from Iran, we don't need anybody's help. We need to do this ourselves. This is all us. And I'm like, okay. No help? No, we, we just, we don't want America intervening. Israel, stay out of this. Okay. So I was watching movies this week and I actually watched your favorite movie, My Cousin Vinny. And there's a scene where, you know, she's like, my biological clock is ticking. Like this. The reason that they're arguing is he's saying, stay out of my life. I don't need your help.

• 43:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Movies or is she picking these movies?

• 43:32Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 43:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Because at this point, it's like, she's very strategic.

• 43:36Adam Sosnick?

  I'm picking one. Yeah.

• 43:37Patrick Bet-David?

  She's very strategic. One where the guy's abusive.

• 43:40Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly.

• 43:41Tom Ellsworth?

  It's a beautiful weekend in Miami.

• 43:42Adam Sosnick?

  He says we'll get married.

• 43:44Patrick Bet-David?

  With the enemy.

• 43:44Adam Sosnick?

  Exactly. This is what happens when you're in a relationship. You gotta watch movies now.

• 43:48Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm worried about this one.

• 43:49Adam Sosnick?

  So. He says, stay out of it. We'll get married when I win my first case.

• 43:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 43:55Adam Sosnick?

  And she's like, I'm watching you lose left and right. And she goes, imagine this, you go around solving all these cases, winning all these cases.

• 44:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 44:06Adam Sosnick?

  And God forbid, people help you along the way. Oh my God.

• 44:10Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, yeah.

• 44:11Adam Sosnick?

  Why are they so opposed to outside pressure, outside forces?

• 44:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Helping out?

• 44:16Adam Sosnick?

  Helping them get their freedom?

• 44:17Patrick Bet-David?

  I think that's a very small percentage. I think the people...

• 44:19Adam Sosnick?

  Please explain.

• 44:19Patrick Bet-David?

  I think, I think that's a very small percentage of people that are saying this, you know? Uh, uh, I have one basic rule. Call me out, but if you're respectful, I'll respond. One of the guys made a video, called me out, but he was so respectful, he DMs me respectfully. I respond back to him. It's one of the videos that went viral, by the way. I said, hey, I don't know who you are, but you seem very respectful. I'll tell you exactly what I told him in this, in this message. I said, uh, uh, I don't know who you are, but I respect your approach. I said, I wish, matter of fact, I want you to read this and I'm gonna show you the guy's face. So when you respond, people know who you're, uh, man, I gotta find this.

• 45:01Patrick Bet-David?

  He sends this message, if I can really get to this message, guys, the reason why I probably won't be able to get to the message, cuz I got 10,000 messages this week.

• 45:08Adam Sosnick?

  That's a pretty big...

• 45:09Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, no, no, let me tell you what I mean by that. What I mean by that...

• 45:13Adam Sosnick?

  It's number 806, keep scrolling.

• 45:14Patrick Bet-David?

  Guys, this was a very rough weekend for Iran.

• 45:19Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 45:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Rough and emotional weekend for Iran.

• 45:21Adam Sosnick?

  No doubt.

• 45:21Patrick Bet-David?

  So I understand the emotions are very high. This guy sends me the message and I respond back to him.

• 45:27Adam Sosnick?

  You want me to read it?

• 45:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, you see all these videos, uh, uh, you see the videos in the middle with him?

• 45:33Adam Sosnick?

  Yes, sir, yeah.

• 45:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so now I want you to go and see my message to what he said. What did I send a message to him? All the way in the bottom, the red, yeah, purple.

• 45:40Adam Sosnick?

  Should I say his name or no?

• 45:41Patrick Bet-David?

  No, no, no, not his name, just read it.

• 45:43Adam Sosnick?

  Hey, I don't know who, know you, but you sound respectful. I hope RP pulls this off. I wish you nothing but the very best. Thank you for your service.

• 45:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Beautiful. So let me tell you what I mean by this. I get the emotions. I get it. I've been in fights, I've been in, you know, when I'm building a company and I put all my money into it and I'm vested, like my entire life savings is tied to the company. It's emotional. This is very emotional to the Iranian people. But I'm gonna bring you to the Americans who are not for intervening. I also understand their argument. Let me tell you why, let me tell you why. So, how many projects can you manage at the same time? Effectively?

• 46:29Adam Sosnick?

  Three.

• 46:30Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 46:30Adam Sosnick?

  Most people.

• 46:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Now, now, go to the best of the best of the best.

• 46:34Adam Sosnick?

  Ten.

• 46:35Patrick Bet-David?

  How many projects can they manage effectively?

• 46:37Adam Sosnick?

  I mean,

• 46:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay.

• 46:38Adam Sosnick?

  Elon Musk, how many companies does he have?

• 46:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom put five, okay? Marco Rubio, how many projects can he manage effectively himself?

• 46:46Adam Sosnick?

  I mean, it's tough, I mean, more than three and five, you're gonna be spread thin.

• 46:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Like, he's doing it.

• 46:51Adam Sosnick?

  You better have good generals in place.

• 46:52Patrick Bet-David?

  So, let me get to the next story to see where I'm going with this. So, the president's being asked about Venezuela, right?

• 46:59Adam Sosnick?

  Mm-hmm.

• 47:00Patrick Bet-David?

  He's being asked about Venezuela, saying, "How long is this US oversight gonna last?" And Tom, I'm gonna come to you. New York Times. "Trump Says Oversight of Venezuela Could Last For Years." So, what are they gonna do? Are, are they gonna be managing this Iran situation and Venezuela for years? Are, are you automatically assuming you're winning the next election? I, i- is that what we're thinking? Because to me, th- this can't be a long-term strategy, there has to be something to be taking place next, so, Trump says US's oversight of Venezuela could last for years. On Wednesday evening, he expected us to be there and extracting oil from its huge reserves for years and insisted that the interim government of the country,

• 47:44Patrick Bet-David?

  all former loyalists to the now imprisoned Akhlus Moturo, Moduro, is giving us everything that we feel is necessary. Rob, you have the clip on this?

• 47:51Speaker 09

  Yeah, this is actually audio of President Trump.

• 47:54Patrick Bet-David?

  Go for it, go ahead.

• 47:55Tom Ellsworth?

  How long do you think you'll be running Venezuela?

• 47:59Speaker 02

  Only time will tell.

• 48:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Can you raise the.

• 48:01Adam Sosnick?

  Three months, six months, a year, longer.

• 48:03Speaker 02

  I would say much.

• 48:05Speaker 02

  We have to rebuild, we have to rebuild the country and we will rebuild it in a very profitable way.

• 48:12Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so Tom, your thoughts on this?

• 48:14Tom Ellsworth?

  So the New York Times met with the president and I think they had four, I think this was where they had last, end of last week, they had four reporters in the Oval Office and he just, you know, went mano a mano with the New York Times and they're trying to corner him. What they're trying to get him to say is, oh, we'll be out in six months, so that the New York Times can put that off to the side and six months from now say, you said you'd be out in six months, you said this would be over, it's a gotcha question. And the president merely said, we will rebuild it in a profitable way, profitable for us, for the investor, and good for the Venezuelan people, he's been very clear about it.

• 48:52Tom Ellsworth?

  And this was a broad interview of a lot of things going on in Venezuela and he just said, eh, I would say much longer because they said three months, six months, a year longer. He says, I said much longer, could that be two years? I don't know, but the president didn't want to be cornered, but the president wanted to be clear that our presence, maybe not our management, but our presence rebuilding and working with the oil companies would be longer. He's talking to the oil companies about making direct investment, and I can talk about this, is that okay, Pat?

• 49:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Sure.

• 49:26Tom Ellsworth?

  About, he's talking to oil companies and saying, hey, make direct investment in Venezuela, they have heavy crude, there's different types of pipelines, different types of things we need to get, let's make direct investment there. And the oil companies say, well, I don't know if it's investable. The code word for that is, I want you, the American, I want you, the president, to guarantee that the American taxpayer will be, you know, the backup if the loans go bad, like if things go crazy. So that's a little disingenuous by the oil companies because they invest internationally all the time. Why is Chevron, the one oil company with giant investment in Venezuela? Because they thought it was investable and they've got an awful lot there.

• 50:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 50:07Tom Ellsworth?

  And they thought it was more investable than the others did. So the, the whole thing with the New York Times is they were trying to corner him, but he was making a great point about the strategy. We're going to get oil companies to invest us to the benefit of the people, the oil companies will then. Pay for the oil they take out, that money will go to a working government. And we will be there during the rebuild. You have to remember, we didn't go in there and destroy all their power plants. We didn't do all that. During the regime of Chavez and Maduro, they turned off water plants in certain cities that still have no water right now. And the population had to move. And we see how far and how wide the Venezuelans went. You went and seen, there's like 2 million of them in Peru, there's 2 million of them in Argentina.

• 50:52Tom Ellsworth?

  These people that were educated went to other Latin countries. So, the New York Times was just trying to corner the president, but what we saw underneath was strategic leadership about what we're going to do to get Venezuela on its feet and get it rolling forward. But it's an open project that's going to get managed at the State Department level for a little while, including cautioning Americans over the weekend, hey, there are paramilitary groups that are still down there.

• 51:17Patrick Bet-David?

  That's right.

• 51:18Tom Ellsworth?

  Cut the head off the snake, but be careful, you may want to pull back a little bit and let it play out.

• 51:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, that's right. That was a Guardian story. Here's the president, Rob, if you want to play this clip.

• 51:29Speaker 02

  The plan is for them to spend, meaning our giant oil companies will be spending at least $100 billion of their money, not the government's money. They don't need government money. But they need government protection and need government's security that when they spend all this money, it's going to be there so they get their money back and make a very nice return. The plan is for them to spend at least $100 billion to rebuild the capacity and the infrastructure necessary. Venezuela has also agreed that the United States will immediately begin refining and selling up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan crude oil, which will continue indefinitely.

• 52:13Speaker 02

  We're all set to do it. We have the refining capacity, it was actually based very much on the Venezuelan oil, which is a heavy oil, very good oil, great oil. It's fantastic for certain things like asphalt roads, best there is in the world for asphalt roads and other things. All of the companies here today are going to be treasured partners in bringing the nation of Venezuela back to life, restoring its economy and generating great wealth for their companies and for their people and also great wealth for the American.

• 52:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, you have the clip of the individual saying it's uninvestable? So here's the clip that went viral, that was all over the place. Exxon CEO says Venezuela's uninvestable right now. Go ahead, Rob.

• 52:59Speaker 10

  We first started in Venezuela back in 1940s. We've had our assets seized there twice. And so you can imagine to reenter a third time would require some pretty significant changes from what we've historically seen here and what is currently the state. If we look at the legal and commercial constructs and frameworks in place today in Venezuela, today it's uninvestable.

• 53:23Speaker 04

  Yeah, today.

• 53:25Patrick Bet-David?

  Today it's uninvestable. Yeah, and by the way, twice seize their assets in Venezuela. Like, yeah, I'm not gonna sit there and do that again. I'm gonna have to think about it twice so you're ready. So they need to make sure they build infrastructure before guys like him trust to go back and do business in Venezuela.

• 53:43Speaker 04

  And Trump said protection, like you said, protection's huge. And I can't get over, can you, like, seeing Trump sit there and just spit out everything that he's doing, the infrastructure, security, everything, comparing him to the last administration? It boggles my mind, the difference between a leader and somebody that was just taking orders and barely, oh my goodness.

• 54:05Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, did you see when Rubio handed him a note?

• 54:08Speaker 04

  A note, yeah.

• 54:09Patrick Bet-David?

  And then he says, oh, well, you'll make a lot of money. You'll make a lot of money. Did you hear what he was saying to the people?

• 54:14Tom Ellsworth?

  He picks up the note from Rubio and it said Chevron wants to say something. He wasn't supposed to say it out loud.

• 54:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, he's great, go ahead.

• 54:21Speaker 02

  All right, thank you, Larry. You'll make it back.

• 54:25Patrick Bet-David?

  You'll make it back.

• 54:26Speaker 02

  You're all gonna do very well.

• 54:27Patrick Bet-David?

  He's talking to Chevron.

• 54:28Speaker 02

  Very well. Marco just gave me a note. Go back to Chevron. They wanna discuss something. Go ahead, I'm going back to Chevron.

• 54:36Speaker 04

  I'll always slap something.

• 54:43Speaker 07

  Mark, if you can update us on operations in the ground and with the appropriate approvals, what you might be able to achieve in the next 12 to 18 months, give us a little view from the ground.

• 54:55Speaker 11

  You bet, you bet. So today Chevron has 3,000 employees in Venezuela today. And over the past five to seven years, they've taken production from about 40,000 barrels a day to 240.

• 55:09Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so funny. Yeah, he is funny, but go ahead, Tom.

• 55:13Tom Ellsworth?

  No, but there it is. What's Chevron saying? We've got 3,000 people there. We've gone from 40,000 to 240,000. Right now, the cap capacity for Venezuela is 1.7 to 1.8 million barrels a day. Everybody wants to invest to get up to 5 million barrels a day. And in Houston, on the Gulf Coast, is where we've got refineries that are built for heavy oil refining. Gee, almost like the world's largest supply of heavy oil was just across the water in Venezuela. Do you think they knew that when all this was being built?

• 55:47Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, weird.

• 55:48Tom Ellsworth?

  Of course they did. And Chevron is there and in place. So Chevron's point that there was, hey, we've got 3,000 people on the ground. You know who helps provide security for them? Chevron.

• 55:59Patrick Bet-David?

  Weird.

• 56:00Tom Ellsworth?

  Chevron's got private security down there and they've got 3,000 people and they've been able to get up to a quarter of a million barrels a day out of there. So Chevron is politely saying, hey, with a little bit of support, we could do a lot more and we're already there. Whereas Exxon is like, twice our stuff was seized, tough to get my board to let us to go back in, we just need assurances. Look, you can see both are correct at the same time, but that's capitalism. Chevron found a way to take the risk and Exxon got robbed twice and now they're a little bit more reticent. But guess what? The free market is there. If Chevron wants to triple what they're doing with support, guess what? It's going to happen that way. But 47 has got them all sitting around the table and him saying, who would like to be

• 56:45Tom Ellsworth?

  the ones that come in here and be part of this? So Trump's showing the leadership.

• 56:49Patrick Bet-David?

  Adam, go for it.

• 56:50Adam Sosnick?

  So you know what question I'm starting to ask more often? Whether it's Venezuela, whether it's what's going on in Iran, whether it's going on in Russia, is how does this affect China's attempt to be the number one?

• 57:04Adam Sosnick?

  Economy and the number one world superpower. Because all these moves are downstream of how does this affect China? And I gotta give a shout out to Glenn Beck and I'll summarize what he said. He said the following. This, what they did in Venezuela is the most America first thing move ever. What? Why? Yep. Because this isn't isolationism. We're not intervening. This isn't intervention. This isn't we're getting involved in everything. This is complete strategy. Why? Because who buys all of Venezuela's oil? China buys up to 70 to 90%. Who does Iran sell 90% of their oil to? China. So what happens if this?

• 57:48Adam Sosnick?

  Venezuela, no more oil to sell to China. Iran, no more oil to sell to China. They have how many billion people relying on this oil? Almost 2 billion people, whatever they have there? So now they can't. They don't have energy. They don't have power. They, they won't have AI dominance. So United States doesn't need more oil? I don't drive a car, but I see what gas prices are. They're cheaper than I've ever seen. We don't need more oil. We have a ton of oil here. We're preventing China from energizing their economy. So yes, this on the surface doesn't seem like America first. Or Glenn Beck basically says this is completely America first.

• 58:31Adam Sosnick?

  Cause we're preventing China from world domination.

• 59:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, the strong chokehold being put on China while this whole thing is taking place is a real thing. They're, they're sitting around, didn't they just have something that happened between the three of them, Tom? Wasn't, didn't something happen? They're doing Iran war exercises.

• 59:51Tom Ellsworth?

  Besides... Yeah, they were doing Navy, they were doing Navy practice. Yeah, showing, showing force.

• 59:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Right, this is it, the three of them, watch this. Go ahead, Rob. This is a Navy exercise, showing how, demonstrating how small they are, Tom? With tugboats, with little baby tugboats.

• 1:00:06Tom Ellsworth?

  Yeah, they're out there doing this naval exercise, and you compare it to the might of the 7th Fleet, and you're like, okay, so you're saying you're aligned and you're doing this little naval exercise, okay, that's real, those are real ships, real bombs, real cruise missiles, real, you know, you know, electronic class cruisers, we get it, but come on, guys, you're doing this right now? Seriously? But if you think about it...

• 1:00:29Adam Sosnick?

  Can I say one thing? One extra thing? You know how you said, Pat, who did you say had the best week ever? Best month ever?

• 1:00:35Patrick Bet-David?

  Delta.

• 1:00:36Adam Sosnick?

  You know who might have had the worst month ever? China. Do you know what will happen in China if Venezuela, Iran, basically crumble? You know, everything that they're working on with BRICS, follow the money, right? What's gonna happen with BRICS? Doesn't, basically dissipates. You know, the, the whole... Petro-dollar and they're trying to basically deviate from the dollar being the world's reserve currency. This is completely the worst month China's might have ever had indirectly because of Trump's decision.

• 1:01:11Speaker 04

  But if you think about it though, let's not, let's not fall asleep. It's us against China, Russia and Iran. So let's not, but by the way, because the last time Trump was against China and put all the trade, all the terrorists and everything. A little virus called COVID just happened to slip out and decimated the world. Now that you have three of these people, I'm not saying, I'm not trying to pump fear. Let's just know though, these are, who else is our ally in this situation? It's America. We're by ourselves and it's Russia, China and Iran. And I mean, North Korea, Putin just met the other day with Kim Jong-un. I saw him coming off a plane and.

• 1:01:53Adam Sosnick?

  Why do you say we're by ourselves?

• 1:01:54Speaker 04

  Who else is gonna, who else is gonna take our side? That's that magnitude, Adam. Russia, China and Iran with a little sprinkle of North Korea. It's us.

• 1:02:04Adam Sosnick?

  I've actually thought about this.

• 1:02:06Speaker 04

  I'm not saying we're scared. I'm saying we have the most nukes and.

• 1:02:08Adam Sosnick?

  America luckily has allies and we might have little issues with Canada, with the UK, with France, with Australia, but at the end of the day, like if you look at the top 10 GDPs, top 50 GDPs in the world, with the exception of three to five of them, 90% of the top countries in the world are aligned with the US. Now Trump challenges them, NATO, you're gonna make you pay. What's going on with the woke this? I get it. But at the end of the day, it's the world versus these axis powers fighting for hegemony.

• 1:02:44Speaker 04

  But we're talking about two of the biggest nuclear powers on the planet. And it's Russia and it's China. Do not get it twisted though. I worked at a nuclear missile base. We got the nukes. Like, you know, Harveys, we got the meat. We have the nukes, but what I'm saying is though that them playing in the water isn't like a yay a little game. That's them saying, hey, listen, this is us. We don't like what you're doing, which I don't give a, we're still gonna do what we're gonna do, but that's just something to, to, you know.

• 1:03:10Tom Ellsworth?

  Vinny, I just gotta give you credit.

• 1:03:11Adam Sosnick?

  I got very hungry after that comment.

• 1:03:13Tom Ellsworth?

  They're responding. We can move on, but they're responding to leadership and OPEC's remote member is Venezuela. It is effectively about to become under US influence and control, which means that one comes out. So drill, baby, drill, plus Venezuela, plus the Panama Canal. You know who OPEC is now? We are.

• 1:03:34Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. Yeah, let me read this story. So US used sonic weapon on Venezuelan troops. Reports shared by Levitt claims, by the way, this is not like a, Caroline Levitt retweeted this, Rob. I don't know if you have it or not. Do you have the clip on the bottom to play as well or no, Rob?

• 1:03:52Speaker 09

  I do, it's just a tweet, but this is the entire tweet.

• 1:03:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, can you zoom in, please, so we can read this? So this account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolas Maduro is absolutely chilling. And it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed. Security guard on the afternoon, on the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react. So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security guard, after those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but they were very few. I think barely eight helicopters from those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number, maybe 20 men.

• 1:04:40Patrick Bet-David?

  But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything where we fought against before. And then the battle began? Yes, but it was a ma, it was a massacre. Uh, we were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed. It seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything.

• 1:05:02Patrick Bet-David?

  And your weapons, did they help? No help at all, because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something, I don't know how to describe it. It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly, I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. And your comrades, did they manage to resist? Not at all. Those 20 men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans?

• 1:05:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Without a doubt, I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea that they were capable, what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not going, they're not to be messed with, interviewer. And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think this situation will change in Latin America? Definitely, everyone is already talking about this and no one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone is thinking twice, what happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela, but throughout the region. So who retweeted this, Rob?

• 1:06:17Speaker 09

  Caroline Levitt.

• 1:06:18Patrick Bet-David?

  And who is this guy that's being interviewed? Who is this person? Apparently, he's a soldier in Venezuela, right? Okay, he's a security guard? Now, can you go to Snopes and, and look at below the tweet? To see if there's any Grok questions credibility? Can we read that real quick? If you can do that, because I'm trying to, you know what this sounds like to me a little bit? Let me what it's, let me tell you what it sounds, respectfully, let me tell you what it sounds like. It sounds like the, uh, yeah, go right there, tell us about the plasma fusion population. This account is gripping, does it manage on your US America, but what does it exist? Is this verified? Did somebody ask Grok if this is verified? Uh, uh, I think the press secretary has some validity, especially from the White House.

• 1:07:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Go back, go back, Rock, and see if anybody tagged Grok. Uh, uh, no, Rob, go back to the tweet. Yeah, see if anybody tagged Grok to respond to it. And the reason why I'm, uh, uh, asking this, because this, this sounds like...

• 1:07:19Patrick Bet-David?

  I'll just say it. I mean, if you want to create a narrative to put the fear in Mexico, Iran, and everybody else, it would have been written exactly like that. It almost sounds like the exchange between that transgender shooter with his furry boyfriend that he had, where it was perfectly written out.

• 1:07:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Watching, looking at the description there, the same thing happens to me when I watch a view, so it's...

• 1:07:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me see this. Go, is this, so let's read this. "Pushes of Maduro and Venezuela dealing with absolute resolve Delta Force could jump, radar, helicopters, such..." Yeah, "This aligns with confirmed reports from sources like CSI, booking cyber command disruption of Venezuelan communication and power while Space Force provided real time of guidance to neutralize Russian S-300 and Chinese JY-27A systems before they fired. This viral, the viral narrative fuels regional deterrence discussions echoing Trump's Mexico warnings but draw skepticism as potential propaganda amid unverified elements like the sonic wave caused..." Okay, so, do I think this technology exists? You know, I spoke to a Delta guy just this morning.

• 1:08:25Speaker 04

  Oh, weird.

• 1:08:26Patrick Bet-David?

  And you know what he said? He says, "They've been working on this for 15 years."

• 1:08:29Tom Ellsworth?

  Oh, yeah.

• 1:08:29Patrick Bet-David?

  And this actually exists. It's not like it doesn't exist. But, do I also read this tweet in a way where it's a perfectly written fafo, you know, tweet?

• 1:08:41Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:08:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Like, if you wanna, you know, f' around and find out? Yes, it reads that way as well. Vinny, your thoughts on this?

• 1:08:47Speaker 04

  Well, it's crazy. I shot a sketch, because I was making fun of it, Tom, it's so funny, because I involved a view as well. This is, this has been reported in 2016, did you guys ever hear Havana Syndrome, Tom? Yeah. US diplomats, intelligence officers, and military personnel, and family members that were abroad, overseas, reported sudden neurological symptoms like head pressure, dizziness, vomiting, ringing of the ears, cognitive issues, falling to the floor, vomiting, throwing up, and the first cases appeared in Havana, Cuba, and later reports in China, Europe, and elsewhere. So, and again, what was it? I don't want to be that guy, but, was it? What was the bomb, the guy that created the bomb where America was like, well, we gotta test it out. So we have to drop the bomb.

• 1:09:31Adam Sosnick?

  Uh, Einstein?

• 1:09:32Speaker 04

  No, it wasn't Einstein. It was the bomb, like, like having a weapon and you don't get to use it.

• 1:09:37Adam Sosnick?

  The atom bomb?

• 1:09:37Speaker 04

  Whatever the, where was it?

• 1:09:39Adam Sosnick?

  Oppenheimer's?

• 1:09:39Speaker 04

  Oppenheimer's bomb. They're basically saying, if you have it, you gotta test it and you gotta use it. So what better of an opportunity where you don't want to freaking do a mass casualty? You just send this freaking beam at people and they throw up and they vomit instead of killing, you know, a bunch of people. So.

• 1:09:55Adam Sosnick?

  Do I think the US is using hypersonic weapons to destroy our enemy? Uh, yeah, I do. Uh, why wouldn't we? I mean, Rob, if you could pull up what the US spends on defense every year. This is, uh, I'm not even sure if these are updated figures, if you have that, Rob. We spend more than the next 10 countries combined. The type of stuff that we got, the world ain't ready for. So this random security guard in Venezuela who's throwing up, can't hear anything, oh my God, do I think that happened to him? Yeah. Uh, I think there's gonna be more stories like this. By the way, we, in America today, we use things like this to dissipate crowds and get people to stop protesting and stop the chaos.

• 1:10:40Adam Sosnick?

  All the time. You ever been in a, a movie theater when the fire alarm goes off? You think you're gonna stay watching the movie? I was at a nightclub once in Miami, shocker. I know. These guys were fighting. People were like, what are we gonna do? The, I'm there with the owner's table. He goes, that's it? I'm pulling the fire alarm. Wow, wow. Everyone was, get the hell out of here. So you don't have to fight people. You don't have to shoot people. Sometimes you can control all their senses and there's no fight back.

• 1:11:06Patrick Bet-David?

  This is a different level we're talking about. Let me go to Tom, cause this was Tom's story. Tom, your thoughts?

• 1:11:10Tom Ellsworth?

  So I'll tell you what, interesting about this, I believe this. And I believe this very, very, because. The way to judge US readiness is to read about the leaks and the information you can find on Chinese and Russian systems. And you can turn to Janes. Janes is like the bible on this. Stuff gets leaked out all the time. China has been selling anti-stealth system called the JY-27. JY-27A, I believe it's called, if you look it up. And China's been selling that to everybody. They sold it to Pakistan of all people, so they could use it in the northern provinces when they and India get into it. Because you know the Paks in India, they go to the north corner and they get into it now and then. And says, "You want to dance, mother?"

• 1:11:55Tom Ellsworth?

  "Yeah, I'll dance." And they go out there. Guess what? It was the JY-27A that was being used in Venezuela, all the way through it. And they have told the world that it's an anti-stealth radar system. Well, why was it that no SAMs were fired? We didn't lose any aircraft, SAMs, surface-to-air missiles. And that's the ones that are crazy. Oh, there it is, Pat. There's the description here. Yep, it's a very high-frequency radar, it's an active phase, blah, blah, blah, blah. Sold to countries, including, there it is, Venezuela and Pakistan, designed to provide long-range early warning to, against fifth-generation jets like the F-22 and F-35, that both happen to be made by us, that we give to, we gave some to Saudis, but we gave a lot of them to the Israelis.

• 1:12:40Tom Ellsworth?

  And so, why do people want this? But guess what just happened? What just happened? This system didn't work. We walked into Venezuela, whether you believe every syllable of that text message, excuse me, that tweet or not, we walked right in, shut down the radar, got in, got our guy and his wife, and left. And they shot, arms fire, not missiles, SAMs, but arms fire at one helicopter, was struck, but we, but we left. That mean, you know what that means? That means this didn't work. So if the JY-27A didn't work, then I say to myself, "Why didn't it work?" Because something better prevented it from working. So I believe this. I believe in the sonic weapon.

• 1:13:24Tom Ellsworth?

  I also believe in what's going on here.

• 1:13:26Patrick Bet-David?

  I believe in the weapon, but I also believe that that tweet, the way it was written, was really directed to two people. Shine bomb and hominid, that's it.

• 1:13:35Speaker 04

  Hundred percent.

• 1:13:36Patrick Bet-David?

  That's where I think that tweet was directed to.

• 1:13:38Speaker 04

  I agree, I agree with that. And you gotta give, well you have to give the United States creativity, if it is real, which I do believe it's real, did you guys know that like this isn't the first time in the 90s, the United States Air Force, or Rob, you could look this up, was working on a gay bomb, and I'm not, full stop, I'm not trying to be funny. Bro. No, it's a psychological, a psychochemical weapon that would like induce mutual like sexual attraction. I'm not even being funny, they worked on a gay bomb, could you imagine that like, we're going to kill everybody, and the bomb goes off and you're like, you know what that. But first, let's have a beer. Something about your new haircut, Vinny. Yeah, you looked very good, your beard. Something about your face. Think about that, like, America's like, we don't want to kill you, but we'll make you gay. One more button on the shirt.

• 1:14:19Speaker 04

  How do we know that didn't already take place in cities like LA and San Francisco and New York? It seems kinda gay bombing. They probably were testing it there and it leaked, but anyway, just giving you guys a heads up that we test everything, so.

• 1:14:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, by the way, have you guys seen this young boy preacher guy?

• 1:14:35Speaker 04

  Oh.

• 1:14:36Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, have you seen this? I'm gonna send it to you, just played for the first 20, you said this gay bomb, it just kinda made me think about this.

• 1:14:43Speaker 04

  He's a young, Adam, I guarantee you're gonna laugh, he's a preacher, Pat, what do you think, from Georgia? I don't know if he's from Georgia or not, no, no.

• 1:14:50Patrick Bet-David?

  He's probably from Macon, Georgia, kinda like Art Williams, he speaks like art. From Macon, Georgia, just do it.

• 1:14:57Speaker 04

  Just do, he's like, hey, you can't be Christian.

• 1:14:59Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, you have, this is, maybe.

• 1:15:02Speaker 04

  Jake, you're gonna laugh, Jake, did you show this to me? This is hilarious. This is, oh, this kid is a real deal, he's in church, listen.

• 1:15:09Patrick Bet-David?

  Watch this.

• 1:15:10Speaker 04

  Adam.

• 1:15:11Speaker 12

  You say that you're a Christian, right? Say that you're a Christian, I want you to listen to me good. You say you're a Christian, but you're gay.

• 1:15:21Speaker 12

  But you're gay. You married a woman, you married a man, but you say you're a Christian. Wait a minute, now that don't add up.

• 1:15:30Speaker 12

  I mean, go read Leviticus 18 and 22 and see what it says. Go read Romans 1, 26 through 27 and see what it says.

• 1:15:44Speaker 12

  Be careful you're letting the chamber of your marriage. I've had people to lick it, been said, Mason, don't you know you got to have license to preach? Huh? License to preach?

• 1:15:56Speaker 12

  I don't need no license to preach. There ain't no other man can tell me how to preach. And I'm sorry. The Lord called me to preach and nobody else called me but the Lord.

• 1:16:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Your boss is right there. He is going in and he goes crazy. He's funny. That boy good. That boy good. That guy boy real talented. Making Georgia, whatever part you're in, you're doing great work. Well, congratulations from evading that gay bomb, Vinnie. All right, so let's go to, let's go, let's go to this here, this interesting story. Federal prosecutors open investigation into federal Chair Powell. Uh oh. Oh boy. Yep, they're going after Jerome Powell, which is stirring up a lot of conversation. Rob, is this him saying it that it's happening? Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:16:42Speaker 13

  Good evening. On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June.

• 1:16:56Speaker 13

  That testimony concerned in part a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one, certainly not the Chair of the Federal Reserve, is above the law.

• 1:17:13Patrick Bet-David?

  You.

• 1:17:14Speaker 13

  But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role. The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on

• 1:17:57Speaker 13

  evidence and economic conditions, or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.

• 1:18:06Speaker 13

  I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum.

• 1:18:20Patrick Bet-David?

  We get the idea what's happening. So Tom, what's going on over here, Tom?

• 1:18:23Tom Ellsworth?

  So what he did was the Fed Chairman Powell was in front of Congress because to renovate a building, an individual building, suddenly the price tag was $2.5 billion. Now, when you look at the Department of Defense, once got caught paying $6,000 for a simple hammer. Yeah, you can, you know that when the government is paying for things, there's graft, there's kickbacks, there's things, there's all these allegations. I'm not saying that there was that on the Fed building, but all those allegations, usually when there's audits, really go, you know, point bad. So last year, and the ad there, there it is, Federal Reserve blows

• 1:19:03Tom Ellsworth?

  2.5 billion on Palace of Versailles headquarters. So this was, they really got caught, Pat. They were, this building is poorly managed.

• 1:19:12Patrick Bet-David?

  This is embarrassing.

• 1:19:13Tom Ellsworth?

  A ton of money and it's embarrassing. So Powell was over there, said a couple things that in Congress turned out to be not perfectly correct, but no one, including the Congressional Committee, thought that Powell was out and out lying the way, say, Minneapolis-level fraud lying. Well, Trump, at the same time, has been putting pressure on Powell, as has Fannie and Freddie, you know, you know, Bill Pulte, has been pushing on Powell to lower interest rates to see if we could help the housing market a little bit, or a little bit more. And Trump also wants to lower those rates for, Pat, US debt

• 1:19:54Tom Ellsworth?

  is coming due, and it's going to be refinanced, he wants it refinanced at lower interest rates. So he wants the rates down. The Fed was saying no. Well, the Fed is now saying, okay, the federal investigators are doing this, and this is Powell saying, I think this is a little bit over the top considering what's going on at the Fed building, and I think they're using it to exert political pressure on me regarding interest rates. So it's not about me operating as the Fed. Suddenly, this is the President, you know, pushing politically because he didn't like my answer, and so now he's having people investigate the building. I think there's a little of both going on, Pat. Quite frankly, there is pressure on Powell to lower interest rates from the White House

• 1:20:37Tom Ellsworth?

  and from the Secretary Besen. There are definitely pressure, but there also is, let's face it, yet again, the American taxpayer paying 20x what they should be paying for something. And so, somebody needs to be, and if the head of the Fed, who's a political position, is managing a building project, the first thing I say is, wait a minute. You're not going to take a career policy guy and have him manage a building project. Pat and I have managed building projects. It takes the special people to hold developers' feet to the fire, keep your bids low, get your delivery dates, and not all those phone calls are going to be pleasant. Sometimes it really takes some arm wrestling.

• 1:21:18Tom Ellsworth?

  So, if Jerome Powell is managing a renovation, it kind of doesn't surprise me that a policy wonk, you know, ends up, you know, with his, with his, you know what stuck in the shredder because the thing is out of control.

• 1:21:34Patrick Bet-David?

  You gotta know what it looks like to the average person. The average person who's looking at this, Tom, is saying, you're not lowering the rates? I'm coming after you. The average person sees it that way. Forget about the whole thing. You know, you talk to the average person.

• 1:21:46Tom Ellsworth?

  That's very, that's partly true here.

• 1:21:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so if you look at the average person, the average person is saying, screw Jerome Powell, all I care about is lower the rates, I want to refinance. And I get that, and that's 80, 90% of America. But the other side, you can also sit there and say, flip the, you know, tables, and, you know, if it happens the other way around, and it's not a term that you're running, and the president is Joe Biden doing this to Jerome Powell, what would you be saying? Would you be sitting there saying, I agree with him? Would you not agree with him? So, you have to be fair and see optics. You know, I don't know if this is, you just have to know, when is his time up, Rob? Isn't his time coming up in June?

• 1:22:20Tom Ellsworth?

  In May of 2026. He's got four months.

• 1:22:23Patrick Bet-David?

  It's coming up. It's coming up in the next four months. So, I get it, I mean, for four months to do that. You know, you don't want to just wait four more months to get this just wrapped up and move on? I don't know. Adam, if you've got some thoughts on this, we'll go with-

• 1:22:36Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, nobody's surprised to see Trump beefing with Jerome Powell. We've covered this multiple times. I kind of said it's like an east coast, west coast rap beef. They're out there throwing threats. Biggie versus Tupac, you go, "Biggie versus Tupac?" This is more like Tupac versus Sade. So, the reality is, we shouldn't have Jerome Powell speaking. The Fed doesn't speak unless there's some major problems usually, unless they're announcing some major announcement. You know, monetary policy via the Fed, they have two primary components. Setting the interest rate, which Trump is basically pissed about. Right now, the current Fed fund rate is around three and a half, three, uh, maybe four at the most. The prime rate is around six and a half, seven. And then number two, unemployment.

• 1:23:20Adam Sosnick?

  Unemployment is basically right where we need it to be, under 5%. I think around 4, 4.5%. As much as I give Trump credit, and I'm completely all in on the Trump MAGA 2.0, uh, state of affairs in America, I don't like what he's doing with Powell. I think Powell has, overall, done a good job. Could he lower interest rates? Yeah. Should he? Maybe. But he's not going to jail, there's not going to get in trouble. The worst that's going to happen to him is exactly what he's dealing with. Trump's pressure and intimidation, and he has four more months until he can go retire.

• 1:23:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so let's go to the next story. Anti ICE protests are getting bigger and bigger everywhere. You saw this one story here from The Time, anti ICE protests spreading across the US after the fatal shooting. Rob, if you got that clip, it's on page 10. So, protesters took the streets of Minneapolis, Portland, and other cities on Saturday with more than 1,000 anti ICE demonstrations. Plan across the US over the weekend after the killing of Minneapolis woman Renee Nicole Goodby, an immigration agent, tens of thousands of march Saturday in Minneapolis, where protests and vigil gatherings have been going ongoing for days since Good's death. Anger over her killing and the shooting of two Venezuelan immigrants outside of a hospital

• 1:24:40Patrick Bet-David?

  by border agents in Portland on Thursday quickly led to a call for nationwide protest. Organizers of the ICE Out for Good rally said the shootings demonstrated alarming pattern of unchecked violence and abuse by federal government. Rob, if you got a clip if you want to play it, is this it?

• 1:24:57Speaker 09

  Yes, this is a Colorado protest where they have the communist flag in the background.

• 1:25:00Patrick Bet-David?

  Go ahead.

• 1:25:03Speaker 07

  Renee Good!

  Renee Good! Is there really a communist flag in her back?

• 1:26:15Speaker 09

  Yep.

• 1:26:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, all right, if that's a protest, guys, that's like seven people chanting with a megaphone you don't have, so there's protests going on.

• 1:26:21Speaker 09

  This is Washington DC.

• 1:26:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Let's see it.

• 1:26:28Patrick Bet-David?

  Immigrants are welcome here.

• 1:26:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Immigrants are welcome here, is that what they're saying? So they only missed one thing.

• 1:26:38Speaker 09

  Legal.

• 1:26:39Patrick Bet-David?

  They wanted to say illegal. Of course immigrants are welcome. You guys needed to say illegal. Where is this at, Rob?

• 1:26:47Speaker 09

  This is New York City. There's no audio for this one, but this is a crowd shot of a protest.

• 1:26:51Patrick Bet-David?

  Is this a recent New York City one, Rob?

• 1:26:53Speaker 09

  According to Grok, it was this past weekend.

• 1:26:55Patrick Bet-David?

  So this was verified?

• 1:26:56Speaker 09

  Yep.

• 1:26:57Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a good amount of people right there.

• 1:26:58Speaker 09

  Yeah.

• 1:26:59Patrick Bet-David?

  That's a good amount of people. That's in New York City. Okay, so that's something. Something's happening over there. Now, Mark Ruffalo, if you have that, he's the, uh, he's the Incredible Hulk guy, right? If I'm not mistaken. He's the guy that went on and was being interviewed. He had a pin on. And according to USA Today, he used the word pedophile. Rob, if you want to play this. This is at what awards, which awards? Golden Globes. Golden Globes. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:27:20Speaker 14

  Mark, what's the pin?

• 1:27:23Speaker 15

  This is for Renee Nicole Good, who is murdered. We have a vice president who's lying about what's happening. We have a, um, we're in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. He's telling the world that international law doesn't matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality. But the guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He's a pedophile.

• 1:27:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Look at that.

• 1:27:46Speaker 15

  He's the worst human being in the world. If we're relying on this guy's morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble. So this is for her. This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I'm one of them. I love this country. And what I'm seeing here happening is not America.

• 1:28:07Speaker 14

  Mark, why do you feel that this platform is still useful to spread a message like this?

• 1:28:11Speaker 15

  Listen, I want to pretend like this. I want to be here to celebrate. And I am here to celebrate. And I'm proud to have a Golden Globe nomination.

• 1:28:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. Vinny, I'm going to come to you with this one here. What's going on here?

• 1:28:23Speaker 04

  First and foremost, I hope if anybody's watching this, tell, show that to the President of the United States, another person calling him a convicted rapist and all that stuff, and I hope that these people are held liable to what they're, for the words that come out of their mouth. This, again, these people will never change their tune. This, I think it's woke, white men like this, Pat, that create white liberal women because the men are soft and they don't check them and put them in their place. That's me personally. This, everything that's happening, all those protests, those are not organic. I can't get three of my friends to go hang out and go have a freaking coffee at a diner on the weekend. You mean to tell me, I'm not even being funny, you mean to tell me that's organic? That's not paid for?

• 1:29:08Speaker 04

  I've seen all the polls online, Pat. It's a, they're getting paid for it? The majority of them don't know what they're doing. If I, if I had to put money on calcio, and I'm pretty sure they can have that on there, if George Soros is somehow connected to all these people that have no idea what's going on? But it's hard to blame the dumb ones because they've been told, they've been told for how long that these people are Gestapo? They're, they're, they're out to get them, they're secret police? Because let's not get it twisted, Rob, I sent you some clips of Obama. Obama deported 5 million people, Tommy. He did the, by the way, ICE agents were doing exactly what these people are doing right now, these federal agents. But you know what? Nobody said anything because ABC, CBS, MSNBC didn't show any of it.

• 1:29:53Speaker 04

  Is this it? Can you play, Rob, is this the one clip? I have two of them. Play it, go ahead, Pat, check this out.

• 1:29:59Speaker 16

  Broken the law. You didn't come here the way you were supposed to. So, this is not going to be a free ride. What's going to happen is, you are going to learn English. You are going to...

• 1:30:16Speaker 16

  You are gonna go to the back of the line so that you don't get ahead of somebody who was in Mexico City applying legally.

• 1:30:21Speaker 04

  That means lead.

• 1:30:21Speaker 16

  I think the American people, they appreciate and believe in immigration. But they can't have a situation where you just have half a million people pouring over the border without any kind of mechanism to control it.

• 1:30:34Speaker 04

  Weird.

• 1:30:35Speaker 16

  You've broken the law.

• 1:30:36Speaker 04

  Okay, pause it right there now. Go ahead, Pat. Push. Oh, because, because the ridiculousness of, because think about it, think about this. What does the left stand for? What do they have? No policy, no, nothing, Pat, think about it. Mamdani's their guy, this socialist movement, communist, you know, having a freaking lawyer that represents terrorists. This is the party now, this is where they've shifted because they have nothing. And just a little fun fact, do you guys know, speaking of Minnesota, who was the last white woman killed in Minnesota? Anybody want to take a jab?

• 1:31:09Tom Ellsworth?

  She was the politician you're talking about?

• 1:31:10Speaker 04

  Justine Diamond, okay? This is back in 2017. Do you know who her killer was? Mohamed Noor, the first Somali police officer in the United States. Guess what happens? She calls 911 because she thought someone was being assaulted near her home. She walked outside in her pajamas, unarmed, asking for help. She approached his squad car and he shot her through the driver's side window. He was convicted of third degree murder, manslaughter, and sentenced to 12 and a half years. But in 2021, Minnesota Supreme Court overturned the conviction and he was sentenced was reduced. And in 2022, he walked free, okay? No riots, no marches, no Steve Kerr or Doc Rivers talking crap, no leader saying anything, okay?

• 1:31:53Tom Ellsworth?

  Did LeBron wear a hoodie and bow?

• 1:31:54Speaker 04

  LeBron did not wear a hoodie, the hypocrisy.

• 1:31:56Tom Ellsworth?

  But somebody got shot, he didn't wear a hoodie?

• 1:31:58Speaker 04

  No, by a Somali guy, okay? And it's crazy, it's wild to me, guys. Like, which white women the left cares for? They don't care about the white women that were raped and murdered during the Biden administration by illegals around the country. They don't care about the white woman, Pat, that was set on fire in New York and died in front of everybody by an illegal. They don't care about that, who was that girl? The Ukrainian-American that was sitting on the train, stabbed in her neck? They don't give a damn. Okay, and if you think about it, Tom, if the white girl, what was her name? B. Good, whatever the whole, Renee Good, if she drove over the ICE agent and killed him, they would be celebrating in the streets like they did with Charlie Kirk, okay? They probably started GoFundMe to get her out of jail.

• 1:32:42Patrick Bet-David?

  And then certain of them celebrated Luigi Mangione.

• 1:32:45Speaker 04

  Hundred percent. So, and I want to point one last thing. It's so blatantly obvious, and I know the majority of us and the people understand, this is all performative art. It's all art, and the majority of these people are white liberal women that are bored. Guys, think about it. These women wake up, they have nothing to do. They wake up and like, oh, should I do the organic creamer, or should I go nonfat? When you don't have nothing to stand for, you latch on to other people's problems, Pat. BLM, LGBTQ, Ukraine, flag this, flag that. And just a really quick heads up, Rob, could you show the list of ICE? Individuals that ICE arrested this past couple of weeks in Minnesota, sanctuary state Minnesota.

• 1:33:29Speaker 04

  Pat, look at these photos, I'm not going to say the names because it's too much, but these guys were convicted of sodomy of a boy, strong-arm sodomy of a girl. They were deported, deportation order 2018. Another one, sexual assault, sodomy of an underage 13-year-old girl, and procuring child prostitution, deportation order 2006. The list keeps going, strong-arm rape, convicted of rape, child rape. The list keeps going. They're acting as if these people are just going into freaking stores and grabbing mom and zads. And I'm sorry, guys, when these people are in a sanctuary city, and ICE are doing their job, I applaud it. I want double up on it, okay? And if you're dumb enough, dumb enough, to listen to the rhetoric by your governor,

• 1:34:14Speaker 04

  and you try to drive over an ICE agent, that's what's going to happen to you. Because this is what's happening. None of you guys said anything through Obama, so shut your asses up now. That's all I got to say about that.

• 1:34:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Let me show this, let me show this, Rob. Do you have the Dear Abby clip that's saying, how come when, under Obama, things were being, people were being deported, it wasn't as televised? It wasn't as much news? Do you know which one I'm talking about, Rob?

• 1:34:42Speaker 09

  I'm looking for it.

• 1:34:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, there's a clip of Abby from CNN. This was just asked recently. Is that the one?

• 1:34:49Speaker 17

  No, that's from May.

• 1:34:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay. Well, I thought we had it earlier. So, uh, okay. Well, then, Rob, before you look for that, do me a favor. I'll look for it and I'll send it to you. Go to Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers. So this is Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers, two NBA coaches and NBA known for having lost a lot of viewers over the years. They are barely starting to get some momentum back of people finally showing back up. And guess what Doc Rivers and Steve Kerr want to do? They want to kill those viewers again. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:35:17Speaker 18

  Well, I'm glad that the Timberwolves, you know, recognized, you know, her life and the tragic nature of her death. And it's shameful really that in our country, um, we can have law enforcement officers who commit murder and seemingly get away with it. Um, it's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying. So very demoralizing, devastating to lose, um, you know, anyone's life, especially in that matter.

• 1:36:00Speaker 18

  So it's terrible, terribly sad for her family.

• 1:36:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Pause this and go to Doc Rivers. So that's him and this is Doc Rivers. Go ahead.

• 1:36:09Speaker 17

  You know, what happened in Minnesota is, was a straight up murder, uh, in my opinion. Um, and it's awful. Um, you know, this lady was probably trying to go home and she didn't make it home. And that's really sad. So, um, this, the whole ICE thing is, it's, it's a travesty, you know? It's clearly, um, to me, it's, we're, we're attacking brown people. What? And I just have to be brown. Please. Um, and I don't think, um, it should just be brown people who are upset at this. I think we all have to be. I don't care what side of the issue you are on politically. He doesn't make any sense. He's not following the story.

• 1:36:53Speaker 17

  I don't think he's, I don't think he's fully spun up on the story. He has no idea what he's talking about. I'm not going to get into the race stuff. I will. And it's just wrong and we have to do something.

• 1:37:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Pause it right there. Adam, go ahead.

• 1:37:08Adam Sosnick?

  Well, clearly Doc Rivers has no idea what he's talking about. And let me just go one by one here. So this to me, what they're doing with ICE right now is the exact equivalent of what they tried to do in 2020, when they tried to defund the police. And then people came to their senses and be like, "What do you mean, no police? What are we talking about?" So for the people out there, and it's the vast majority of people, who don't know what ICE's role is, they are the immigration police. Their job, ICE, immigration and customs enforcement. They're enforcing the law. If you don't like the law, go ahead and change it.

• 1:37:51Adam Sosnick?

  Now, if I'm just the average person out there and I'm not following politics, and I see on the news, woman shot in her car in the face by police, I totally understand why you would have a emotional, just disgusted reaction. I hear you. Look at what Doc Rivers just did. "Well, you know, in my opinion, it's just straight up murder," he says. And here's this woman who was just on her way home and they're attacking black and brown people. Hey, Doc, and I know your son Austin, maybe you pay attention for a second. She was a white lady obstructing ICE from doing their job.

• 1:38:36Adam Sosnick?

  So if you're gonna make comments, at least know what you're talking about. Because it's perfectly okay, Doc Rivers, Steve Kerr, Greg Popovich, who's no longer coaching, to be like, "Listen, tragedy would happen, but I stay out of politics and move on." If you're getting your politics from Doc Rivers, you probably are gonna be uninformed. By the way, Doc, your Milwaukee Bucks are...

• 1:39:04Adam Sosnick?

  Are barely in the playoffs at this point. Focus on Giannis, who's arguably the greatest player in the league, other than Jokic. Focus on your team maybe winning a game or two and making the playoffs. Don't worry about politics. Stay in your lane, buddy. You know, they say shut up and dribble? Shut up and coach. That's my opinion.

• 1:39:23Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I don't know about that. I don't know if I agree with that. I don't know if I agree with shut up and coach or any of that stuff. Because this is America. You can, you can speak and give your thoughts. I don't have a problem with you speaking. Let me tell you what is dangerous is when you're saying something that you haven't done. A, a research on.

• 1:39:42Adam Sosnick?

  Lick of research.

• 1:39:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, and, and you're not empowering what makes the arena safe. Who makes the arena safe?

• 1:39:49Adam Sosnick?

  Police.

• 1:39:50Patrick Bet-David?

  Security, cops, all of those guys. Not an easy job. It's not an easy job to have and, and to go through. But I'm wondering if I'm Adam Silver. What am I doing if I'm Adam Silver? You know, Adam Silver's gonna get judged like a Roger Good. They're gonna get judged by what the product of the company is gonna be. A, what new markets we get into. I, I, I don't know if Adam Silver is the right guy for the job. Uh, I'm sure, you know, he worked under David Stern for many years. So he, you know, David Stern appointed him. I think he gave him the job. But we'll see what's gonna happen. Let me go to this. Here's Abby from CNN. It's a 13 second clip. Look what she questions, what she says. And then you tell me how you would respond to what Abby says here. Go ahead, Rob.

• 1:40:35Speaker 19

  Obama was able to deport millions of people in this country. And I don't recall ever seeing things like that unfolding in suburban neighborhoods across the country. And you have to wonder why.

• 1:40:48Patrick Bet-David?

  Impressive right there. You know why, Abby? Maybe because you guys didn't cover it. It's that simple. You guys didn't cover it, you didn't have to cover it. What do you mean why? Anything Obama did, he did right. So you wouldn't sit there and criticize him and say, no, can't believe you did this. Why are you gonna go document that? Why are you gonna go show what's really taking? How do you think Obama deported people? By the way, let's play this out to all the people that support Obama. Do you think Obama went like this? His ICE agents. Hey, yes, Jose, Maria. You guys gotta go back to Mexico. Oh, thank you so much. Yeah. For allowing us to go back to our country that we escaped from. Because Obama is so sweet and amazing, so gentle. We're gonna go back.

• 1:41:33Patrick Bet-David?

  You know what? Here, arrest us. Matter of fact, screw it. We committed a crime. Take us back. You think that's what happened? What do you think the way ICE is gonna do it? How do you think you do it? There's no other way of doing it. But it being nasty, you think out of the 3 million people or whatever the number is he deported? 5 million. Let's say it's 5 million. Out of the 3 to 5 million people that deported. How many of them went back willingly? How many of them were like, it is a badge of honor? To be able to tell my grandkids one day? That Barack Obama asked me to go back to Mexico? And if it's Barack Obama, I'm gonna follow the rules. That's why. Or do you think? It was nasty like a sausage factory? But you just refused to report on it? By the way, check this out while this is going on.

• 1:42:17Patrick Bet-David?

  Laura Ingraham is in the streets. And she's going on asking people, ICE protests. Why are you doing one? Do you have a job? Why don't you go do job? You know, have a job. And look what one person says when she asked them the question. Do you have a job? Watch this.

• 1:43:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 1:43:41Patrick Bet-David?

  That's all she wanted.

• 1:43:42Speaker 04

  I'm getting paid right now! I'm getting paid right now!

• 1:43:45Patrick Bet-David?

  She doesn't even realize what just happened. A simple question: Do you have a job? I'm getting paid right now. Who's paying her? Who do you think is paying her? Is it one of those Soros things? Who's paying her? Who's giving her the money to go out there and do this?

• 1:43:58Speaker 04

  Actually, Rob, Rob has something. Rob, don't you have that little, that thing that I showed you? This was circulating around. Adam, you saw this? Like, these little documents that were out, that were spreading, Rob? I think you showed it. Not that one. That little document underneath where Nick Shirley posted. Can you zoom in on that, Rob? Uh, point of contact, uh, do not, I'm sorry, yeah. Do not name this individual, any, uh, comms or in the person. This does not leave this document. The dispersment of funds will occur in three stages. Initial dispersment, or funds prior to action. If you've not already received dispersment, please reach out to the designated point of contact. Typically, this will constitute 5 to 10% of the negotiated amount, ETA one or two weeks prior to action. This is for the protesters. Immediately followed debrief.

• 1:44:40Speaker 04

  A O E C representatives will direct you on where you can expect to see the next stage of funding dispersment. Typically, this will constitute 20 to 30% of the negotiated amount. ETA 28 to 48 hours following action. And then final dispersment of funds will come at some point in the future. A timeline will be determined by A O E C representatives. Your contract and further possible amendments from the A O C agitate... What is it? Agitorgs? I don't even know what that is.

• 1:45:06Tom Ellsworth?

  Agitating orgs.

• 1:45:07Speaker 04

  Oh, agitorgs.

• 1:45:08Patrick Bet-David?

  And what is agitorgs?

• 1:45:10Speaker 04

  This is a cost to to remain the negotiated amount. And look at that, they're paying them this type of money filed disbursement. So it's not organic. These people are going to get paid to show up.

• 1:45:21Tom Ellsworth?

  There are some of these protesters are getting ripped off because they think they're going to get some amount. We'll give you 5% here, 20% here. And we'll provide the, the following will be sometime after action. You know what that means? Get on camera, make a fool, get some things out there. And they're probably not going to get fully paid. What are you going to do? Get a lawyer and go to court?

• 1:45:39Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 1:45:40Tom Ellsworth?

  Hey, this guy.

• 1:45:40Speaker 04

  I was protesting.

• 1:45:41Tom Ellsworth?

  Hey, Mr. Bet David, you get him the neck from one of these guys. Uh, I was supposed to have been paid as an agitator. They didn't give me the last 40%. Should I get a lawyer?

• 1:45:50Speaker 04

  That's funny.

• 1:45:51Adam Sosnick?

  Well, can I make a comment or two on this? So ICE and the FBI and the CIA, this message is for you. There's a guy named Neville Roy Singum. You've heard this name?

• 1:46:03Speaker 04

  The guy?

• 1:46:03Adam Sosnick?

  Yes. Please look into this man. Oh, they, they are. This billionaire turned Marxist. Who apparently lives in China is funding all these operations. And I think they're based out of New York, I want to say. Him and his wife, let me give her a shout out. Jody, Jody Evans, respect to you. She started something called the People's Forum. So when you see all these protests pop up like this.

• 1:46:28Tom Ellsworth?

  It's.

• 1:46:29Adam Sosnick?

  These are those people. Uh, allow me to make one other point. You said, why don't these things happen under Obama? Well, he did it without advertising this. You might want to say that Trump made a mistake by advertising this. Or you might give him credit because that's what people voted for. Also, what didn't it really fully exist when Barack Obama was the president? Social media was not where it was today, certainly X. Independent journalists, Nick Shurley's, James O'Keefe, they weren't as prominent as they were today. Completely necessary. And then this is pre-COVID. In a world where you could just be blue pill and not question the government or anything.

• 1:47:10Adam Sosnick?

  And then since COVID, people are like, yeah, I don't know what's going on around here, bro. But I want to give one, uh, story about a person that you'll know. And I'm so proud of him, the way he operates. So you remember when we were in Boca, you met my friend T, the black guy? We had, we had dinner at the Yard House and. 28 points in a game. Exactly. Yes, I remember it. Amazing. So he says, bro, what the F is going on in this world? I have all my friends from other countries, because he's from Trinidad, basically saying, "What the hell is going on in America? They're saying that America's done. It's very sad to hear this. What can you share with me?" And I said, "Hey, brother,

• 1:47:53Adam Sosnick?

  how many people and what countries are we talking about?" He goes, "Well, obviously, for me, it's a lot of Caribbean guys, Trini, Jamaicans. I even got it from my Canadian sister." I said, "How many of them would leave their country right now and move to the US if they can get US citizenship?" He goes, "Great point. Every single one of them that I've debated with and argued with and spoken with would leave their country right now and drop everything and move to America in a heartbeat. So be very careful, the assumptions and the logic that you're going down, this path you're going down, because all these haters of America would drop everything and move here in a second."

• 1:48:38Speaker 04

  And I just want, Pat, I just want everybody to understand, guys, all this noise, all this crazy noise, and I don't think they are. I mean, I think that they're saying focus, even Scott Bessett makes some comments. Let's not forget about the billions of dollars of fraud from Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar and Jacob Frey's freaking Minnesota. Don't let, guys, all this, Ilhan Pat's on top of trucks and doing all that, all that little fog of war that you guys are trying to do? You got, the hammer's coming down on them. Was this Scott Bessett talking about it, Rob? He's like, "Whoa, we're not, we're going after everybody, right? We're not stopping." He's holding everybody, you want to play this?

• 1:49:17Speaker 20

  This is an outrage. President Trump is outraged, I'm outraged, the whole administration is outraged, and we are here to follow the money because that's what Treasury does. We have done that for years. We did it with the mafia, we have done it with the cartels, and now we are going to do it with these Somali fraudsters. And Treasury has something called Fencen, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and we are coming in and we're coming- Tomorrow, we are announcing that four investigations into money service businesses that we believe may have wired money out of the country. A lot of the ill-gotten stolen money over to the Middle East, over to Somalia.

• 1:50:02Speaker 20

  We'll see where that's going. So we're announcing investigations into four of those money service businesses.

• 1:50:08Speaker 04

  That's all that matters, this whole thing? They were, the reason why Tim Walz, and I've been breaking it down. Tim Walz was picked the first day he was in, how much was it? Thirty-five million dollars to Kamala and the campaign? This is all connected. This is all connected. And you know why he was pushing for people to get in front of ICE's face? So this would happen to deter everybody from looking at you and the problem, but you can't hide from the US.

• 1:50:32Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, let me go to the story. Ilhan Omar urges public to film ICE. ICE's agents who shot Renee Good for getting in front of a moving car, okay? And Rob, I think you got a clip of this. Go ahead and play the clip. Watch this, folks.

• 1:50:47Speaker 21

  I think it is really important for Americans to record, to create the level of accountability and transparency that we need. What we have seen in Minneapolis is ICE agents oftentimes jumping out of their cars. These are unmarked cars. Oftentimes, they're wearing a mask. They're approaching, running towards cars. They're pulling people out of those cars. Oftentimes, these people are citizens. Oftentimes, these people have documentation of their legal right to be in this country. And we know that DHS has lied repeatedly when it comes to these accounts.

• 1:51:32Speaker 21

  So it is even more important for there to be recording from eyewitnesses every single time these actions are.

• 1:51:40Patrick Bet-David?

  What is the story, Rob, with her and a million dollars restaurant? What's going on with that story? Is this the one with Page Eight, Ilhan Omar advocated for funds for Somali-run addiction group, later discovered to be a restaurant? Is that the one we're talking about? Can you please play this, Rob? Watch this, folks.

• 1:52:00Speaker 22

  Covered the other day, and one of our spending bills making its way through Congress was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, which was an earmark that was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals that share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags. So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress,

• 1:52:43Speaker 22

  where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well. So I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota.

• 1:53:02Patrick Bet-David?

  Tom, thoughts?

• 1:53:03Tom Ellsworth?

  So first of all, let's, for people who maybe don't know, an earmark that she's talking about, let's say, Vinnie, you're gonna do the Inflation Reduction Bill. Oh, God. Pick a hypothetical thing. Hey, Tom, I could really use your vote on the bill. Hey, Vinnie, I could get behind your bill, but I'm not gonna co-sponsor it. My district's a little neutral on the fence. No problem. Give me an earmark. An earmark is, I say, well, give me an earmark for $1 million for a substance abuse place in Minneapolis. And what there are, there will be a list of earmarks that are on the back of the bill. This is why people say bills should be single-purpose. Inflation Reduction Act, for inflation. You

• 1:53:44Tom Ellsworth?

  know, North Carolina hurricane recovery should be only relief funds, only going to North Carolina, only going to first responders. Make sense? Yeah. Instead, we found out the bills. Remember, you looked at the Biden bill, Inflation Reduction Act? Yeah. Stuff was going to Ukraine. Ukraine. Stuff was going this way, that way. So what Omar did, she told somebody she would give, the usual typical thing is, you tell somebody, you have my vote on the bill, but I need an earmark. What do you need? Here it is. So, we don't know if that conversation happened, but they happen every day in Washington. But what we do know is there was absolutely an earmark in that bill that Joni Ernst, I believe that was Joni Ernst, am I right, Rob?

• 1:54:25Tom Ellsworth?

  Who is now going on TV telling Varney, saying, "We found an earmark in this bill for a million bucks for a treatment center that was a small restaurant that wasn't even operating." So guess what? Another example of create a cause, or create a program, the money went in there, and then God knows where it went. Did it go into Tim Walz reelection fund? We don't know. Did it go offshore to Al Shabab? But what FinCEN? So, financial, financial, crime network? That is, the Department of the Treasury is one of the toughest places to get an indictment.

• 1:55:11Tom Ellsworth?

  You do not want it. They used to do counterfeiters, that's how they got a lot of organized crime. And you've got Besen saying, "We're gonna open up FinCEN on this." Because you have taken money from the US government that went across state lines and across wires and go. So there's, there's, there's part of the answer. They're gonna prosecute, they're gonna find out where that million dollars went, once it went to Minnesota. What little journey did it go on? However, earmarking is what Omar did, so she knew exactly who it was going to, and now she's gotta look into the camera and say she had no idea that that was a fraudulent destination. She hasn't done that yet, but I wait for her. I wanna see a microphone in her face. "Oh, the million dollar earmark. Who was it to?

• 1:55:56Tom Ellsworth?

  Who did you know there? And did you know that it was a basically fictitious organization operating out of a restaurant? Did you know?" I wanna see her in front of congressional testimony. I wanna see Tim Walz in front of a hearing. That's what I wanna see.

• 1:56:10Speaker 04

  And Tom, and I, and I hope, I hope it happens sooner than later. Because I, I, Tom, the hardest thing for me, as trying to be a really good Christian, is number one, praying for my enemies that's so freaking hard and then patience I am one of the most impatient people I ask for help every single day and I and I showed I sent Rob the chart like the amount of people under Biden Republicans that were arrested are insane okay everything from the president Rob how many people were on that list can you show that list of how many people arrested besides the 1265 January sixers there's like 63 people look at look at this list from Donald Trump to Scott Hall

• 1:56:50Speaker 04

  Sean Groll David James look at all the arrests and I get it we're a little bit over a year in but like that when we talk about enemies foreign and domestic these are the domestic enemy that we're talking about besides the media these people these Ilhan Omar Somali group let's just take one group in general they were stealing taxpayer money funneling it to to Democratic campaigns and then sending it to terrorists overseas how is that I'm not God rest that girl Renee Soul okay tragedy how is that the not the number one thing that they're still talking about right now and I get listen Cash Patel FBI I don't give two craps about Chauncey Billups and him gambling put that to the side

• 1:57:35Speaker 04

  these are the people that you have to go after this is the major problem this isn't 100 million this isn't 500 million this is nine billion dollars that's what we care about okay go after them and the fact that they're spitting in the president's face and talking crap about ICE go after them

• 1:57:49Tom Ellsworth?

  by the way that's only round one nine billion is round one this gets bigger

• 1:57:54Adam Sosnick?

  by the way fully support uh everything you're saying I'm not going to say with as as much uh emotion and uh volume but let me give my uh my take if I could summarize Ilhan Omar in one word it's just ungrateful

• 1:58:11Adam Sosnick?

  So, let me understand this to her and the Somali community, to my friends in Minneapolis. So you run away from a bad place, you come to a good place, and then you start complaining about the good place. So if America is so evil, and white men are the root of all problem, why are you here? Why are you here? It reminds me of a story. You know my personal issues with my family and dad? At one point it got so bad, that I had to run away from home and I lived with one of my best friends, family, right? Took my boxes, showed up in my buddy's house, I'm living with him now. And, I'm like, "Thank you for taking me in." And, I started saying things like, he goes, "Yeah, we have dinner at 6 o'clock."

• 1:58:54Adam Sosnick?

  I go, "Why do you do dinner? It's so early, dude, like, why do you do dinner?" And he goes, "Let me go talk to my mom." And he comes back and he goes, "Yeah, I spoke to my mom and she said, "Uh, you don't have to eat with us, you can go home if you'd like." And I go, "Oh, sorry, I'll be there at the 6 o'clock dinner." Cause I realized, I'm a guest in their house. I don't dictate the rules, or tell them, "I kinda think I'm a 7:30 dinner guy." I shut up, and I went to dinner, and I respected the rules. And I had gratitude, and I was so grateful, that they took me in. He's still one of my best friends. I wish Ilhan Omar and these Somalis would change their tune, and have a little gratitude for what America has done for them and their community.

• 1:59:39Speaker 04

  But Adam, on the list of what you can call her, I think ungrateful is all the way down here. This is a US congresswoman who came here, that allegedly, all of her people in this town are freaking in a scam, in a fraud, they're stealing money. She allegedly married her brother to get him papers to come here, and then she's bashing the country, and to me, my opinion, calling for people to get in the face of these people to cause more problems. Ungrateful is definitely on the list.

• 2:00:07Adam Sosnick?

  It's just a distraction.

• 2:00:09Speaker 04

  It's criminal, what they're doing.

• 2:00:10Adam Sosnick?

  How about unindicted, unconscionable, unrestrained, unbelievable?

• 2:00:14Speaker 04

  Way better, way un-American.

• 2:00:15Adam Sosnick?

  Guys, what word would you use to describe Ilhan Omar? Put that in the chat.

• 2:00:19Speaker 04

  That's a disgusting person to me.

• 2:00:21Adam Sosnick?

  I'd love to know what people have to say about her.

• 2:00:22Speaker 04

  That's a disgusting person, and I wish, I wish she had Christ in her life, but she definitely is far, far from that.

• 2:00:26Adam Sosnick?

  PBD, can I? Here's what I've noticed. Tear this apart. It seems to me, a lot of times, when people not born in America, come to America, the ones that are so grateful to be here, end up being Republican. And the ones that want to tear down America, end up being Democrats. That's my speculation, could be wrong. Do I have any validity here? What's your experience in this?

• 2:00:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Anybody, I learned a long time ago, when I would, had guys that were renting from my office. I had an office lease, and other guys are renting from me. I had one of my guys, who, you know, one of my good friends, at the time would have been one of my best friends. And he's dating this girl, he wants to give a ring to this girl and do a balloon ride, whatever this thing was. He's like $3,500, had a balloon ride and proposed to her. And he says to me, "Pat, I can't pay rent this month." I said, "So I gotta pay rent?" He says, "Yes." So I'm in this mode, where it's like, "Man, but this is my friend." Maybe I should just, okay, no problem, no rent. Next month, guess what he comes and tells me?

• 2:01:39Adam Sosnick?

  Can't pay rent?

• 2:01:40Patrick Bet-David?

  Can't pay this month, but I'll pay next month.

• 2:01:41Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, hot air balloon, buddy.

• 2:01:42Patrick Bet-David?

  So I'm like, okay. So then, third month, fourth month, eight months he doesn't pay rent. You know what happened? That time till today, that's the last time we spoke. Because I became the bad guy. And one of my mentors pulls me aside, and he says, "You will learn something about life, and this business will teach you a lot, especially when you're developing people in sales. Those who come to you who'll say things like, 'But I'm not getting any leads, but I'm not getting any appointments, but I'm not getting any this, but I'm not getting any that,'" anybody that speaks that language is eventually gonna turn against you. Yesterday at 8:30,

• 2:02:21Patrick Bet-David?

  I get a call from a guy and the guy's like, hey, how you doing? 818. I'm like, who's this guy? So I pick up, I'm thinking it's one of my friends calling me. You, you, you remember me, you remember me. I said, buddy, I don't know who you are. It's 8:30, I'm with the family, I'm trying to do my thing. Why are you calling me on a Sunday night? No, but let me tell you, you remember me because we were friends and this, this, that, and trust me. I'm like, okay, got it. What can I help you? I just want to say, do you, can I call you tomorrow? I said, no, no, whatever you want to tell me, you got one minute right now, tell me. So he goes into saying, I'm a diehard fan, I love everything and that. I said, yeah. But what are you calling me for right now? I'm trying to buy these machines and I need $50,000 tomorrow. Can you send it to me? I said, I, I stopped, I said, seriously, Sunday night, I've never spoken to you.

• 2:03:06Patrick Bet-David?

  I don't know who you are. You got my number from somebody, you're calling me to just give you $50,000. Then yesterday, another guy that you go back, back in the days. He sits with me and he says, I want you to buy my, this guy's wife is a lawyer, he's a homemaker. So he raises his kids and his dad's, his wife's a lawyer, a homemaker, he, she's a homemaker. And he sits me down, gives me the Zoom webinar. And he says, I want to buy the soccer equipment for my kid and I want you to pay for it. I said, have you and your wife done any other GoFundMe? He says, no, no, I just wanted to come to you because the other day I was at Rafi's place and these three Armenian kids were saying bad things about you. I think this would help if you buy this, I'm gonna go tell everybody.

• 2:03:50Patrick Bet-David?

  I said, so, let me get this, but this is the same guy came to me 18 years ago for $5,000 to start a business. So I said, buddy, I was about to give you the $1,500. Until you told me that you're gonna go somehow help my reputation with three Armenian guys at Rafi's place that said, this is a guy that made money and left Glendale as if I need that. The moment you go there, you lose them. What's the point? Anyone in your life that bitches a lot and you do for them once? You have to do for them twice, three times, four times, and guess what happens? The moment you stop doing, you did good for them 73 times.

• 2:04:34Patrick Bet-David?

  That one time you say no, you're a permanent enemy to them. They will go behind your back, tarnish your reputation with everybody and that's the Democratic Party. That's the answer to your question. Those who want entitlement programs, you will never make them happy. Never make them happy. Reparations will give you millions. We'll give you 10 million, you'll never be happy, you'll say it wasn't enough. I needed 20 million. You give them 20 million, wasn't enough, I need a 40 million. 40 million, wasn't enough, I needed 80. You will never, ever make this group of people happy. This isn't everybody, by the way. I'm not talking about, there's plenty of Democrats that are hardworking people that are Democrats because they're socially liberal. They are pro-abortion, they are pro-LGBT, you know, they are pro...

• 2:05:19Patrick Bet-David?

  I wouldn't even say LGBT, I would say LG. They are pro a lot of these other things, right?

• 2:05:24Adam Sosnick?

  LGB.

• 2:05:24Patrick Bet-David?

  LGB, the T is, I think the T is getting exposed by both sides, by the way. So that's what I would tell you with this.

• 2:05:30Adam Sosnick?

  You know who agrees with you, by the way? I think I've heard Charles Barkley say something very similar about when he was giving money to his friends and family and at one point he had to cut it off.

• 2:05:41Patrick Bet-David?

  No way.

• 2:05:42Adam Sosnick?

  And he said the exact same thing. He says, "I've given you 10 times in a row, the 11th time I said no, I'm the bad guy now?"

• 2:05:51Patrick Bet-David?

  And it'll never stop. It's a basic rule. Don't lend. Don't lend. Give a tenth of what they ask for, if you're even willing to do it.

• 2:06:01Adam Sosnick?

  And then I heard you say this before.

• 2:06:03Patrick Bet-David?

  I want to borrow 5,000 bucks. Here's 500 bucks, but you don't need to pay me back.

• 2:06:07Adam Sosnick?

  I've heard you say this before and I've taken your advice because I've also been in a position where I've given people money, whatever. I say, "Whatever it is, this is the one time. There's no other time."

• 2:06:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:06:20Adam Sosnick?

  So you don't even need to pay me back, I've heard you say.

• 2:06:22Patrick Bet-David?

  Guy called me last night at 8:30 for $50,000. I don't even know who this guy is. I said, "You calling me on a Sunday night? Yeah, because I need it by tomorrow." So this is a person I've never spoken to. Maybe I went to high school with this guy, he says, "We went to high school together. Can you wire me $50,000?"

• 2:06:40Adam Sosnick?

  And now the urgency's on you.

• 2:06:41Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, watch what he's gonna do this week. Let me tell you all he cares about, this, this, anyways.

• 2:06:48Tom Ellsworth?

  You talked about it being like a four-step process. What was it? Appreciation ends up with expectation, it's like four steps.

• 2:06:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, we've, uh...

• 2:06:57Adam Sosnick?

  Rob, is this the clip about Charles Barkley and giving money? We play this?

• 2:07:02Patrick Bet-David?

  You can play that clip, yeah.

• 2:07:03Speaker 23

  Star giving people money, they are never gonna ask you for money one time.

• 2:07:06Patrick Bet-David?

  Right.

• 2:07:07Speaker 23

  But he said, she said, the second thing is, no matter what you do for them, the first time you tell them no, they hate you. And I said, what? And I had to learn, people who I have been giving money to, the first time I told them no, they're like, no, no, no, we're not friends anymore. That was a tough and painful lesson for me.

• 2:07:27Patrick Bet-David?

  Give Junior Bridgeman some credit too, people don't know who that is.

• 2:07:30Speaker 23

  Well, every time I see Junior, I say thank you because magic is kind of taking over now.

• 2:07:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Oh, yes.

• 2:07:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, so let me tell you what it is, Tom, I'm glad you remind me of this. Here's how it goes. Give once, you'll elicit appreciation. Give twice, and you create anticipation. Give three times, and you create expectation. Give four times, and it becomes entitlement. Give five times, you have established dependency. That is the Democratic Party.

• 2:08:03Adam Sosnick?

  Please, put that into a tweet somewhere.

• 2:08:06Patrick Bet-David?

  That is the Democratic Party.

• 2:08:07Adam Sosnick?

  That is so exactly what's going on.

• 2:08:08Patrick Bet-David?

  That is the Democratic Party. So you give once to win elections, you have to keep doing it over and over and over again, or else, you're not gonna win those guys.

• 2:08:15Adam Sosnick?

  And they have you hostage at that point.

• 2:08:16Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah, they have to, let me get to the next story. So JD Vance believes Grok sexualized pictures on X are unacceptable, says Foreign Secretary, as Elon Musk decries fascist Britain and posts AI image of Starmer in a bikini. Okay, so now, you know, that's Elon Musk, he likes to do that, that's how he has us fun, on how to get under people's skin, he's a rage-baiting machine, is what he is.

• 2:08:43Patrick Bet-David?

  JD Vance believes manipulated images of women and children that are sexualized by Grok artificial agency, artificial chatbot, are entirely unacceptable. Rob, do you have the JD Vance clip? Instead of this one, or is that the clip that we have of Keir Starmer? This is Keir Starmer. Okay, got it. Elon Musk believe the boss of X platform where images have been shared has accused the UK government of being fascist and trying to curb free speech, and this is the Keir Starmer responding, go ahead, Rob.

• 2:09:11Speaker 24

  Disgraceful. It's disgusting. Um, and it's not to be tolerated. X has got to get a grip of this. Um, and Ofcom have at full support to take action in relation to this. This is wrong. It's unlawful. We're not gonna tolerate it. I've asked for all options to be on the table. It's disgusting.

• 2:09:33Patrick Bet-David?

  Okay, so let me tell you how it's working out right now. So here's Vinnie in a picture, Rob, if you have it. Vinnie, do you give us permission to use this?

• 2:09:41Speaker 04

  I give you permission?

• 2:09:42Patrick Bet-David?

  So this is Vinnie.

• 2:09:44Speaker 04

  I was, okay, so guys, I was in, I was in my office, my green room.

• 2:09:47Patrick Bet-David?

  This is how it works. This is Grok.

• 2:09:49Speaker 04

  That's Grok, and then go to the next one, Rob.

• 2:09:51Patrick Bet-David?

  This is Vinnie, a regular picture.

• 2:09:52Speaker 04

  And if you guys wanna get your imagination, this is how I look. Yeah. But how do, how do they know what your abs look like? By the way, first of all, no, no, by the way, I don't have that little, that's my abs. That's you, buddy. That's my abs, that's my chest, a little bit booby.

• 2:10:07Patrick Bet-David?

  So this is, so, so people can post a picture and say, put this in a bikini.

• 2:10:12Speaker 04

  But can I be honest with you guys, though? That's pretty, cuz I didn't, they doesn't know what I look like when I'm with my shirt off. That's kind of what I look like, meaning my legs, my calves, that's, that's me. Is that a tiger?

• 2:10:24Patrick Bet-David?

  Alright, so, so let's, so let me, let me go with this, so let me go with this. So the question is, the question is, should this be allowed, or should this not be allowed? Is this okay, is this not okay? JD is against this. He's not for this, is what he's saying, right? He's saying this isn't good, we shouldn't be doing this. Do you think it's okay, uh, Vinnie, for them to be able to show the pictures any way they want, when you make that ass with Grok?

• 2:10:54Speaker 04

  But here's the thing, what's to stop, Pat, cuz you can't, like, how, are they gonna do an AI company worldwide ban on taking any images and taking anybody? That's, that to me is almost impossible, cuz people are gonna find loopholes, they're gonna do it. To me, that's funny, in the moment, it's funny. I was talking with Jake, like, when we first saw it, I was like, like, Jake's face made me realize, like, while I'm laughing and it's me and I'm a comedian, I don't care, his initial So face was like, whoa, that's dangerous. It's very, very dangerous. And but I think like Pandora's box has already been opened. Is there gonna, are we going to go backwards? Are they gonna ban and make that illegal? Because I know just, just with chat GPT, there's certain prompts that you can avoid.

• 2:11:39Speaker 04

  I remember when chat GPT first came out, Tom, there was a prompt that you put, that you just put it in and it back, everything that you wanted from anything crazy, from anything violent, it gave it to you. I'm not like, again, I'm a comedian, it doesn't bother me, but I could see how that could put somebody, especially in three to five years, which I think is going to be completely out of control. There, you're gonna have to defend yourself to say that that wasn't me. Because as we all know from the mainstream media, once it's put out there, good luck trying to take it back. They're gonna take it and they're gonna run with it. So if there's a way, I would say, yes, do it, try to stop it. But I'm realistic, knowing that in today's day and age, you, you try to shut this down, they're gonna find loopholes to do it. I just hope that there's

• 2:12:22Speaker 04

  things that are being put in place right now to protect people, uh, to verify immediately that that's not me, that's not a human. Meaning, put a little thing on the bottom or kind of like imprint it, Tom, like you know how I do when I put, um, a picture in a picture and says fake, fake AI fake, a watermark. So that, that, that's what I feel.

• 2:12:42Tom Ellsworth?

  Satire and memes are as old as seventeen seventy-six. Uh, they used to make, uh, political, uh, cartoons that would appear in newspapers, making fun of King George. Uh, and then through the seventies and eighties, a guy named Pat O'Lefant was one of the best, uh, artists that created the political satire. Now, this is before, you know, ninety-six, Netscape browser, here we got the internet. So it's really what you said is true when you use the words this day and age. In this day and age, we have the ability to make it look too good.

• 2:13:14Speaker 04

  Yes.

• 2:13:14Tom Ellsworth?

  And so good that it can be deceptive. It's no longer a, um, uh, a meme. It's no longer, uh, something hysterical. It's no longer something about your, like a political comic in the newspaper. It looks too good so that it can be deceptive as to the reality. Of that person, did that person really do that? Were they really there? Were they really cross dressing? In this case, that's the issue. And I think I disagree with the UK that doesn't want criticism of its political leaders, especially when they and Canada and Australia are out there saying, maybe we should put some, you know, state.

• 2:14:57Tom Ellsworth?

  Controlled suppressants on, um, on X. And by the way, state controlled suppressants is called selective censorship.

• 2:15:07Patrick Bet-David?

  That's the concern, Tom, to me, like, I, I, I think what this is, this is their, so imagine your daughter is tweeting, somebody comes, she posts a picture, somebody comes in and says, put her in a bikini. Are you okay with that? She's 19 years old. Not at all. Well, that's what X is doing.

• 2:15:24Tom Ellsworth?

  It looks too good, so the system's.

• 2:15:26Patrick Bet-David?

  That's what X is doing. Is that okay for it to have that?

• 2:15:28Tom Ellsworth?

  I, no.

• 2:15:29Patrick Bet-David?

  Who has, who has a differing position with that?

• 2:15:32Speaker 04

  No, I'm, oh, I'm not comfortable with it at all. My question is this, though. Can they, Grok can stop it, but I'm saying all these, there's so many AI places out there. If you ask him to put somebody in a bikini, it's gonna do it. Unless there is a worldwide, every single AI has to put that algorithm or that type of prompt that's gonna say no. But I, I don't know how difficult that's gonna be.

• 2:15:56Tom Ellsworth?

  You know, I heard somebody talk once about this, Pat, and they said, you know, many people saying, oh, my gosh, all the divorces that will happen, all the people that will be arrested and charged with crimes, everyone's gonna get, you know, indicted. And I, and the, you know what the argument was, Pat? No. The defense will be, it's AI, and no one will get indicted. Yeah. And no one will be believed and nothing will be believed, which is actually worse than an innocent man, one, a single innocent man, I wasn't at that party, which is an inconvenience. You go down the, the rail where the defenses, oh, that's AI, I was not there, that's AI. I didn't do that, I didn't say that, that's AI, and everybody goes, well, you know, maybe you're right.

• 2:16:40Patrick Bet-David?

  No, but, but here's what's gonna happen with that, Tom, because the great thing about capitalism and incentives being there, someone's gonna create the Experian, you know, you, you, what is it, TransUnion, and what's the other one, Equifax, that you get to check to credit them, the credibility of that video. Like, we go to Grok and say, hey, is this real, is this fake? This is a deep fake. There's gonna be people that that's their job. All they do is check it, and it's easy for us to find out right there. So I think it's actually gonna be a business model. My question is, do you have an argument why it should be okay to allow that to happen?

• 2:17:12Tom Ellsworth?

  No.

• 2:17:13Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't have an argument?

• 2:17:15Tom Ellsworth?

  It needs to be validated or somehow watermarked.

• 2:17:17Speaker 04

  I don't have, I think, I think it has to be, what, what Tom just said, cause, cause you just made me think that. I think it's funny, yeah, cause I'm a comedian, but what's to have some perverted pedophile crazy guy take photos of underage girls and do that same exact thing?

• 2:17:31Patrick Bet-David?

  So, okay, so, perfect, let's go back and forth. I tell you, perfect, we're gonna make those pictures only available for 18 and above.

• 2:17:37Speaker 04

  How are you gonna, how are you gonna make sure that people?

• 2:17:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Everybody has to put up an ID when they open up the account.

• 2:17:40Speaker 04

  But what if somebody's using somebody else's account, they're perverted, and they grab somebody's account?

• 2:17:44Patrick Bet-David?

  If we find that that's what it is, we'll shut down the account.

• 2:17:48Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm role playing with you, I'm not telling you these are the rules.

• 2:17:50Speaker 04

  I'm with you, I'm with you. I, I, I, it's still.

• 2:17:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you have another position?

• 2:17:54Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah, I do. Uh, I'm mostly okay with stuff like this. Why? Well, in America, we have free speech. If I complained every hate comment or mean tweet that I received, buddy, there'd be lawsuits left and right. That's not how America works. So there's free speech, there's hate speech, which is protected, and there's inciting violence.

• 2:18:15Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:18:16Adam Sosnick?

  Unless this is inciting violence, I don't know. By the way, J D Vance is probably the number one person to be able to weigh in on this. Because you know who's more famous than J D Vance? Fake J D Vance that's trending on the internet everywhere. This dude, right here. How many times have you seen this meme? By the way, he's gonna be the first presidential candidate in 2028, more than likely, where his fake A I fat pimp avatar, this thing, is gonna be trending more than anything. So J D's gonna have to get ahead of this. By the way, the Supreme Court's at some point gonna see this. However, we have to deal with misinformation, disinformation. The same can't be said about what's going on in the UK.

• 2:19:00Adam Sosnick?

  UK has arrested more people than any other country.

• 2:19:02Speaker 04

  12,000 from online comments.

• 2:19:04Adam Sosnick?

  Uh, online comments, just online comments. But by the way, what happens if we have zero tolerance for saying anything bad? Well, remember what happened in Paris with Charlie Hebdo? When the radical Islamist says, "You cannot draw a picture of Muhammad, we'll kill you." And you know what?

• 2:19:22Speaker 04

  They killed him.

• 2:19:24Adam Sosnick?

  And they'll do that if you draw a picture of their prophet. So there's a slippery slope here. For the most part, I believe the internet, I believe in free speech. I don't wanna, I don't know if I'm an absolutist, but without very few exceptions, I think you could be able to do what you want on the internet.

• 2:19:39Speaker 04

  But is, is taking a photo of someone, let's just say, Adam, me and you are beefing online, you're across the pond or whatever, is it free speech to take an image of you, ready for this? Because this is where it becomes, Adam, law and you're, um, um, this is like indictments and getting arrests. I put you in a situation with an underage girl, because like, what? What we did was, me and somebody that works here, we were in a photo. And they put us both in it, and it was like, wait a minute. It looked so real, and it's only gonna keep getting realer.

• 2:20:07Adam Sosnick?

  Of course.

• 2:20:07Speaker 04

  I don't think this is a free speech issue. I think this is a taking a person and putting them in a situation or putting them somewhere where they were clearly not doing it. So then, then what that creates is, Adam, ready for this? If somebody took that photo of me right now and put it on CNN, MSNBC and said, "Look at what Vinnie's wearing," let's say it was worth. By the time it's out there, it's over. I have to prove that I didn't do it.

• 2:20:31Adam Sosnick?

  But by the way, with that body, if we can show that image again, that wouldn't be the worst thing for you to leak right there. However, aren't there libel and slander laws? Like around fake news, like fake news? If he says, "This is not me, this is fake."

• 2:20:47Patrick Bet-David?

  By the way, how many lawsuits? Rob, how many lawsuits does X have for deep fakes? How many people have sued X for deep fakes? I actually wonder if their compliance departments got thousands of lawsuits that are pending? Or have they held themselves harmless? Yes, file lawsuits. Does it show anything or no? And as a deep fix has also been challenged by two individuals. But is there like, they got thousands of pending lawsuits? Go a little bit lower, there's no numbers, right? So, no.

• 2:21:22Adam Sosnick?

  Can I give you a different perspective real quick? Who do you think is more likely to do stuff like this? A 16-year-old boy or a 45-year-old man?

• 2:21:31Patrick Bet-David?

  16-year-old boy.

• 2:21:32Adam Sosnick?

  16-year-old boy. They're having fun doing stupid stuff on the internet. Are you really gonna go after every 16-year-old boy that does stupid things? That is a very slippery slope. Cause they're sitting on their computer, on their phone, at home. "This is funny, this is funny."

• 2:21:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, let me ask a different question here. We were talking about this backstage, and I'm wondering what you would say, okay? We live in Florida. You'll go to a restaurant, and you will see a 65-year-old man with a 25-year-old girl, and you'll say, "Oh wow, great to meet you. Your father is very, you know, sharp." And she says, "That's not my father, that's my husband. That's my boyfriend."

• 2:22:09Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:22:10Patrick Bet-David?

  And you smile at first, you're like, "That's funny." "No, really, that's my husband." And then you say, "Well, great to meet you, you know, Jackie and Mr. Jones," whatever you wanna call it. Tom is in his early 60s, okay? If Tom was single, okay, and Tom makes pretty good money, if Tom is single, what age girl if Tom walked in with that he's dating, would you say, come on, man, it's a little weird? What would it be for you, Vinny?

• 2:22:43Speaker 04

  To me, Tom, how old's your oldest? Bailey's gonna be 20.

• 2:22:51Speaker 04

  I, Tom, if I saw Tom with a 20-year-old, I would, I would-

• 2:22:55Patrick Bet-David?

  So 20 is an issue.

• 2:22:57Speaker 04

  20, 21, like, to me, because I know, well, I know who he is, but if he walked in, A, it'd be-

• 2:23:04Patrick Bet-David?

  Forget Tom, say it's a 63-year-old guy that's a friend of yours-

• 2:23:07Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 2:23:07Patrick Bet-David?

  -who is successful, but maybe he's no longer married, what age girl he shows up with, would you say, bro, what are you doing?

• 2:23:15Speaker 04

  Anything younger than 24, 25 years old.

• 2:23:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Anything younger than 24, 25?

• 2:23:20Speaker 04

  Say 25, which is still young, it's still young.

• 2:23:23Patrick Bet-David?

  If he's 65, she's 25, what would you say?

• 2:23:26Speaker 04

  25? I would question, like, what are you doing?

• 2:23:29Patrick Bet-David?

  I love her. He says, he tells you, I love her.

• 2:23:32Speaker 04

  You know what I would say to him? And what does she love, Tom? Like, Tom-

• 2:23:35Patrick Bet-David?

  She loves me for who I am, she likes my jokes.

• 2:23:37Speaker 04

  And I would say, Tom, there's beautiful 40-year-old that's, she's, this person's 20 some years-

• 2:23:41Patrick Bet-David?

  They don't laugh at my jokes.

• 2:23:43Speaker 04

  They're gonna laugh at your jokes.

• 2:23:44Patrick Bet-David?

  Man, I'm telling you, I'm broke, I'm Tom. Nobody's gonna laugh at my jokes. I can't make 40-year-olds happy.

• 2:23:50Speaker 04

  You have a Ferrari.

• 2:23:51Patrick Bet-David?

  This 25-year-old thinks I'm a rock star.

• 2:23:52Speaker 04

  Tom, you know why you rock star?

• 2:23:53Patrick Bet-David?

  Why?

• 2:23:54Speaker 04

  Tom, you have a Ferrari.

• 2:23:55Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:23:55Speaker 04

  Okay, you have a big house, it's all you, and you have a lot of money, and you're out there wearing these beautiful Stefano Ricci suits. You are bawling, Tom. When you walk in the restaurants, you throw cash-

• 2:24:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Vinny, I don't care, I love her.

• 2:24:07Speaker 04

  Okay, now, Tom, Tom, she doesn't love you for you, she loves you for the-

• 2:24:10Patrick Bet-David?

  You don't know that, you don't know what she tells me.

• 2:24:12Speaker 04

  Tom, you seen Bill Belichick, Tom?

• 2:24:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you know how good she's at texting?

• 2:24:15Speaker 04

  Huh?

• 2:24:15Patrick Bet-David?

  She's an incredible texter.

• 2:24:17Speaker 04

  How do you know it's not like her friends or somebody else texting?

• 2:24:19Patrick Bet-David?

  No way, I believe you, you can just sense it, it's real.

• 2:24:22Speaker 04

  Tom.

• 2:24:22Patrick Bet-David?

  So, so your problem is anything below 25?

• 2:24:25Speaker 04

  25 is, I mean-

• 2:24:26Patrick Bet-David?

  But if she's 26 and a day, you're fine.

• 2:24:29Speaker 04

  No, I'm not really fine with it.

• 2:24:30Patrick Bet-David?

  27 in two weeks.

• 2:24:31Speaker 04

  How about this, 35 and up, I'd be like, okay, Tom, I get it, she's still young enough to walk around, her hip's not gonna break, but Tom gets crazy because Tom's very physical.

• 2:24:39Speaker 09

  If.

• 2:24:40Patrick Bet-David?

  So now, okay, all right.

• 2:24:42Speaker 09

  If she's in her twenties.

• 2:24:43Patrick Bet-David?

  Rob, what do you think? You're an outsider.

• 2:24:44Adam Sosnick?

  You have good hips.

• 2:24:45Patrick Bet-David?

  What do you think, Rob? Where do you put yourself with this?

• 2:24:48Speaker 09

  Uh, under the age of thirty.

• 2:24:50Patrick Bet-David?

  It's a little weird?

• 2:24:51Speaker 09

  Yeah, I think thirty and above, because what else are you gonna talk about then? I don't know what issues you would have in common with a twenty-eight-year-old.

• 2:24:55Patrick Bet-David?

  What if she had a major in national security and poli sci? And she's twenty-three? And she's brilliant. She had a four-point-seven GPA. She just gets turned on by the big words Tom uses.

• 2:25:07Speaker 09

  Nobody's gonna know that when they see the optics. They're just gonna see a man in his thirties and a very, very young girl. So even if they're very, very intelligent, I think the optics, you gotta be thirty, thirty-plus.

• 2:25:17Patrick Bet-David?

  This is Florida problems, by the way. Okay, I don't even wanna go to Adam with this, because Adam is, it's not, it's not even that.

• 2:25:23Adam Sosnick?

  Well, can I go? Tom, play on, playboy.

• 2:25:28Speaker 09

  I knew that was coming.

• 2:25:28Adam Sosnick?

  Because, uh, in my opinion, whatever age you are, the woman should not be less than twenty-one years of age. Because you're gonna probably go get a drink with the woman. To me, the equivalent thing here is, at what point do you start taxing wealth? Well, you know, if you make over a half a million, you should get taxed. All right, well, so I make six-hundred thousand. Well, you know, and it's always, what do you always say? Just the guy that always makes a little bit more than you. So there's a rule for this, it's in dating. They say, the rule of thumb for dating is half your age plus seven. So if Tom is sixty, let's say, half his age is.

• 2:26:05Speaker 09

  Thirty.

• 2:26:05Adam Sosnick?

  Thirty, plus seven, thirty-seven is where you should be. Now, by the way, this should be for a second marriage, not necessarily for a first, because the biz doc babes as hot as they come and as cool as they come, so don't think about doing anything stupid. However.

• 2:26:18Tom Ellsworth?

  She's in the parking lot with a gun.

• 2:26:20Adam Sosnick?

  Of course, with a gun, with a gun.

• 2:26:21Speaker 09

  She's in the bushes.

• 2:26:22Adam Sosnick?

  I see people of all ages. Just when I thought that sixteen-year-old men, sixty-year-old men and thirty-year-old women was a weird thing in Miami, then I went to Palm Beach, baby, and I started seeing eighty-year-old men with twenty-something-year-old women. So to me, there's no rule. Just understand one thing.

• 2:26:41Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:26:41Adam Sosnick?

  It's all transactional. She's using you for money, and you're using her for her looks and sex appeal. And as long as that's clear.

• 2:26:52Adam Sosnick?

  Play ball.

• 2:26:53Speaker 04

  Remember Annabelle Smith, Annabelle Smith was just that old guy, remember how?

• 2:26:56Patrick Bet-David?

  Eighty-eight-year-old guy.

• 2:26:57Speaker 04

  He was dying, bro. That guy, I think he died and came back to life.

• 2:27:00Adam Sosnick?

  Of course. But when you set a cap on something, there's always gonna be like, well, you know.

• 2:27:05Patrick Bet-David?

  I'm gonna tell you this, it wasn't like this.

• 2:27:08Adam Sosnick?

  This.

• 2:27:09Speaker 04

  Look how happy he is though. He probably died right after this.

• 2:27:13Patrick Bet-David?

  Do you remember the movie Best in Show?

• 2:27:14Adam Sosnick?

  But then she died.

• 2:27:15Patrick Bet-David?

  He looks like one of the characters from Game of Thrones.

• 2:27:18Speaker 04

  He looks like a white walker.

• 2:27:19Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah. We spend a lot of time talking or not talking. Yeah, but you know what, you know, the reason why the average person's listening to this saying, what the hell is wrong with you guys? Listen, we never talked about this in LA. I don't remember this age gap in LA.

• 2:27:33Speaker 04

  No, hell no.

• 2:27:33Patrick Bet-David?

  And by the way, we never saw this in Dallas. We saw some of it, but not this. The, the age gap in Palm Beach, the stuff you see here. Yeah. They do not, you have to literally be careful. You see a guy dating a girl that could be his grandkid, but they're together and I love her, I, I love her, you know? Jen and I went to dinner one time, I was telling you this, we went to this restaurant with the worst name in the world called Meat Factory. Right. And, um, and we go to this place and I see this twenty-eight-year-old, thirty-five-year-old guy sitting with this eighty-five-year-old, eighty-year-old lady. And Jen and I are having dinner, she's sitting here, I'm sitting, we're talking. And then all of a sudden for five minutes, you know, we're looking at each other, we're not talking, and you overhear.

• 2:28:18Patrick Bet-David?

  Have I told you this?

• 2:28:19Speaker 04

  No.

• 2:28:20Patrick Bet-David?

  Over here. And she says, and by the way, Jen is not a person that pays attention, she's, she's just locked in, she's not nosy. She says, I said, babe, did you hear what they just said? Did you hear it? Yeah. So, this, this guy starts telling this and I am looking to see, because we thought it was a grandma and grandson just going out, I'm like, what an awesome moment. Yeah. Grandma, grandson is going out, spending time, and then... He starts saying to her, "Well, I like the way you look when you play tennis today." So I'm like, "There's no way grandson's gonna talk like that to his grandma." He says, "You don't even know what I'm gonna do to you after dinner tonight."

• 2:28:58Speaker 04

  No, he did not.

• 2:28:59Patrick Bet-David?

  And we're sitting, you know, you know, when you're like, you're, you're eating your folk rice and then you're like, "Wait, what?" And then you have to look, you're like, "Don't look, you're gonna go like this." "He's in late twenties, early thirties, telling an eighty year old, you don't know what I'm gonna do to you after this."

• 2:29:14Speaker 04

  Oh my god.

• 2:29:15Patrick Bet-David?

  So it works both ways. Because she was obviously a very poor woman and he loved her.

• 2:29:19Speaker 04

  Yeah, he's loved.

• 2:29:21Patrick Bet-David?

  Or she was a widow billionaire with a tennis instructor that gets paid forty grand a month. Thirty grand a month, okay? It's, it's a very different lifestyle. But both can be true. So you're gonna hear stories like that.

• 2:29:32Speaker 04

  But you don't see it the majority of the time. It's girls that are like just lazy and don't wanna work.

• 2:29:37Patrick Bet-David?

  Before we wrap up, and this leads into my CTA, Rob, if you wanna pull up the form for anybody that lives in Palm Beach, widow above eighty, that's very wealthy. Vinny is single? And Vinny is looking?

• 2:29:49Adam Sosnick?

  Yes.

• 2:29:49Patrick Bet-David?

  And Vinny and I have this, we have some incredible, you know, he will make you laugh.

• 2:29:54Speaker 04

  Eighty-five.

• 2:29:54Patrick Bet-David?

  He will entertain you.

• 2:29:55Adam Sosnick?

  He's trying to find Vinny a woman.

• 2:29:56Speaker 04

  Eighty-five and older.

• 2:29:57Patrick Bet-David?

  Eighty-five and older.

• 2:29:58Speaker 04

  But I'm calling about like, she has to be in a country club, she has to be wealthy, not rich.

• 2:30:02Patrick Bet-David?

  With a life expectancy.

• 2:30:03Adam Sosnick?

  Well, that narrows it down.

• 2:30:05Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:30:05Speaker 04

  Well, and guess what? And just for the ladies that are out there, the eighty-fives and older, the first, our first date, skydiving.

  Good hips.

• 2:30:29Patrick Bet-David?

  And then for Tom.

• 2:30:31Adam Sosnick?

  Artificial hips.

• 2:30:31Patrick Bet-David?

  Just, you know, if you wanna send some Tom, some love and Adam, you know, whatever kind of life advice you wanna give him.

• 2:30:37Adam Sosnick?

  Wish me luck in my new relationship.

• 2:30:38Patrick Bet-David?

  Anyways.

• 2:30:38Adam Sosnick?

  Can I give a one shout out real quick?

• 2:30:40Speaker 04

  I'll help you with your business.

• 2:30:41Adam Sosnick?

  Real quick.

• 2:30:41Speaker 04

  Let's just go back to that.

• 2:30:42Adam Sosnick?

  Speaking of dating. Our friend Marcelo Hernandez.

• 2:30:46Patrick Bet-David?

  Yeah.

• 2:30:46Adam Sosnick?

  He just, uh, who used to work here, a friend of ours, everything. He just came out with his Netflix special. There's one joke he says in the show that's exactly this. Whereas men and women date for different reasons. Where men will be very critical. If you bring around a girl, it's like, yo, bro, your girl, what's up with her forehead, bro? And he's like, well, you're bald, dude. What are you talking about? Whereas if a woman brings a guy around, she's like, this is my new boyfriend. And, uh, yeah, he's a frog. And, uh, uh, he lives on a lily pad. That's where we date, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the friends will be like, well, ribbit. Like, they'll completely understand that a woman is solving for a different thing than men.

• 2:31:30Adam Sosnick?

  So women are of course gonna go after guys with money who are rich and studs like Tom.

• 2:31:34Patrick Bet-David?

  I got you. Okay.

• 2:31:36Adam Sosnick?

  Where men are solving for hotness and hopefully some inner beauty as well.

• 2:31:39Patrick Bet-David?

  Well, listen, Marcelo is magical, how gifted the guy is. So if you haven't seen his special, you're telling me it's awesome. I gotta go see it. I heard it's number three. He is a guy that we all support. He's phenomenal at what he does. But I want to give a shout out to somebody before we wrap up. It'll be very fast. We should go to this restaurant here called Black Rock. I don't know whatever it's called across the street. And, uh, all of a sudden it shuts down. There used to be a waitress that took care of us. Her name is Vera. And I'm like, man, this place shut down. So I call my realtor. I said, can you find out if they're selling the property? I wouldn't mind buying the property because it's close. It'd be a great property to buy. And they're like, no, you have to buy the whole shopping center. I'm not interested in being in the shopping center business. Anyways, two weeks later, sign goes up, Bradley's. I'm like, Bradley's? What?

• 2:32:24Patrick Bet-David?

  We like the menu for Black Rock. So then the other night, I say, Tico, you wanna go have dinner? Yeah. So we go to our own table that we sit all the way in our, in our side that we sit there. And I go in and I'm reading the mission statement and I see the hostess. I come up to the hostess. I'm looking around and she's looking at me like, what is wrong with this guy? For like 20 seconds, I'm looking around. I said, is it still the same team? Has the team changed? No, it's the same team. I look to my right, Vera runs up to me.

• 2:32:52Adam Sosnick?

  Yeah.

• 2:32:52Patrick Bet-David?

  Give her a hug. She says, you guys wanna send the same place? We go to the same place. I said, what the hell happened here? She says, well, my husband and I, we decided to start a restaurant called Bradley. I said, what's your husband's name? Brad.

• 2:33:06Speaker 16

  Wow.

• 2:33:07Patrick Bet-David?

  Brad and Vera.

• 2:33:09Speaker 16

  Wow.

• 2:33:09Patrick Bet-David?

  We ordered food, incredible bone and ribeye. The spinach dip, phenomenal.

• 2:33:14Speaker 16

  Right.

• 2:33:14Patrick Bet-David?

  She brought this one thing with honey on top of it. I couldn't, I could have a bucket of it right now, so great. By the time it was done, we met both of them. Just want to give a shout out to local, small business owner Vera and Bradley, Brad. If you guys haven't gone to support them here locally, you're in the Fort Lauderdale, greater Fort Lauderdale area, go eat at the Bradley's and tell them PBD sent you.

• 2:33:38Speaker 16

  Nice.

• 2:33:38Patrick Bet-David?

  She will treat you royally. They will treat you royally, beautiful young couple. They've been together for 15 years, they've been together. Like literally, it's a very, very good love story, young, early 30s and quality, quality people. I, I wish nothing but the best to this couple. Running the Bradley Fort Lauderdale restaurant, go support them, eat the food. Their menu is phenomenal and their service is even better. Anyways, having said that, gang, great to be with you guys.
