Adam what's your point? The future looks bright. My handshake is better than anything I ever saw. It's right here. You are a one of one. I don't think I said this before. Okay guys, we are officially live. We're doing an emergency podcast because of what's going on with Israeli around. A lot of you guys asked about it. We said I wasn't able to do it yesterday. We had a whole executive team all day and last night took my daughters out to dinner for was our date night because of Senna's birthday. So happy birthday Senna. Daddy loves you baby, but there's a lot of stuff going on so a lot of lot of different things going on. I'll give you some of the stats here on what happened with with the war. So Iran, Israel, Israel attacks Iran. Okay. Israel kills 78 people. Iranians, a mix of senior IRGC commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians to over 320 injured while they did this. Okay, this is per Iran's UN Ambassador given that report. Israeli casualties, three civilians killed because Iran retaliated Missiles drone strikes on Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and nearby areas. At least 23 to 22 to 43 injured based on the reports that they're given what a wide range including both civilians and soldiers. On top of that, when you think about who was taken out, this is the biggest thing as they're going back and forth with this top Iranian commanders killed. The head of the IRGC killed. Okay Commander in chief, he's been there killed since 2019. So this is a legit guy six years, not a newer guy. That's Major General Hossein Salami and then Major General Muhammad Bagari. He's the chief of staff of Iran's armed forces. Dead. Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh out. He's the head of the IRGC aerospace force responsible for missiles and drone system. Major General Gam Ali Rashid, commander on Khatam Al Anbiya central headquarters overseeing major military operations. Killed. Ali Sham Khani, former secretary, Iran's superior, Supreme National Security Council and senior advisor to Supreme Leader Khamenei. Killed six scientists, killed one. Feridun Abbasidavani, former head of the Atomic Energy Organization very experienced. Mohammed Mehdi Taranchi, noted physicist and university rector. And then other high level military losses. Davood Shaykhyan, IRGC aerial command in chief. Tarpour, commander of IRGC drone units and up to 20 senior IRGC IRGC commanders in total were killed. This is what's happened roughly in the last 48 hours. It's, it's nasty, it's not pretty. Both sides are saying a lot of different things. There's a clip of Netanyahu that comes out and saying they're going to attack for as long as it takes. So it's not like this is a two day thing. Rob, if you want to play this clip, go forward. Watch this here. Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly openly called for Israel's destruction. They've backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs. Nine. In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. And if not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year, it could be within a few months, less than a year. This is a clear and present danger to Israel's very survival. Eighty years ago, the Jewish people were the victims of a holocaust perpetrated by the Nazi regiment. Today, the Jewish state refuses to be a victim of a nuclear holocaust perpetrated by the Iranian regime. Now, as Prime Minister, I've made it clear time and Israel will never allow those who call for our annihilation to develop the means to achieve that goal. Tonight, Israel backs those words with action. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart of Iran's ballistic missile. Rob, how long is this?
Adam Sosnick
Last year, 10 more seconds.
Patrick Bet-David
Fired 300 ballistic missiles at Israel. We can pause it right now. We got the idea. And by the way, Khamenei responded and he said Iran's supreme leader says this is. According to Reuters, Israel initiated the war. Okay. That's what Khamenei is saying. And supremely, Khamenei stated on Friday that Israel initiated a war and said it will not be allowed to do hit and run attacks without grave consequences. Zionist regime. Israel will not remain unscathed from the consequences of its crime. Iranian nation must be guaranteed that our response will not be half measured. This is all taking place again in the last 48 hours. Tom, your thoughts on what's going on here?
Tom Z
Well, the first, the first thing is I think the whole world saw this coming when and maybe we were all being astroturfed or gaslit when they're saying, well, they won't negotiate, negotiations are breaking down. But it sure seemed that Trump was being honest and straight up and saying he wanted to negotiate and he didn't want to get into any of this. And I said it on Thursday podcast that at some point in time, Israel can't be kept on the leash. And it's a combination of I'm doing it and we can say don't, but they're off the leash.
Patrick Bet-David
And.
Tom Z
And this is not a strike. A strike is where you launch a couple cruise missiles and you take out a general in his car on the back of an airport. That's a strike. This is an action. This is an ongoing action. And I think Israel took the step that a lot of people in the west wanted them to take. We did not want necessarily the war, but we don't want the nuclear power. And so the step was taken and this action is now ongoing.
Patrick Bet-David
But. Brandon, your thoughts?
Brandon Tatum
Yeah. So there's two camps here. One camp is saying, that's a great thing that we're hitting Iran this way. You know, it's a really impressive military attack where we were able to like, precisely hit the military leaders, precisely hit the nuclear sites and the scientists. And that's awesome. And the Iranian regime definitely should be taken out. The world would definitely be a better place without this regime in place because it's, you know, massively destabilized the Middle east. And Iran could be a great place if this regime gets taken down. Then the other camp of people is saying, like, oh, this is terrible, because the US is going to get dragged into this and could be a forever war again. It cost us trillions of dollars last time. So, I mean, I, I see both those things, but I, I think the best way this could be carried out is by getting the people of Iran to revolt against the government themselves. Because, like, surveys show that 60% of the people in Iran want government change. Like, want a regime change. So I think that these attacks are fantastic. Like, the way they did, with precision, like, low casualty rates, because, like, the last for the population of Iran to turn, like, hostilely against the, The. The west, because if they're against the government more so than the west, then I think we could get this done from the inside rather than having to do it from the outside.
Patrick Bet-David
Vinnie, thoughts?
Vinnie M.
Well, I mean, Bibi. Bibi's been wanting this, this war since 1992. He's on camera multiple times saying Iran's three to five years away from having a nuclear weapon. He did it again in 2000, 2001, 2010. It just. He said it multiple times. Multiple times. So he got it. And it's kind of interesting that a couple weeks ago, Mike Waltz was in a Cabinet meeting and he was on an Israeli signal app with the leaked text that was saying, like, basically trying to push us to go to war with Iran. That's why he got fired. He had to come down. And that's where that relationship with Trump and him got a little bit dicey. I'm not listening. I'm happy that Trump's attitude is like, hey, listen, you want the war, you want to go fight, go do it. You want everybody else to be involved. You feel threatened. You have nuclear, allegedly. You have a bunch of nuclear weapons. You're very, very strong. You have the idf, you have the Mossad. Go for it. You know, I mean, hopefully it doesn't get wild and crazy. The only thing that bothers me, Pat, and this has been going all over the Internet. Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk said it, Graham Allen said it. Laura Loomer's been hinting at it. They're like, hey, everybody be careful this week, you know, with this no Kings protest. Everybody be careful. Iran's going to attack. Iran's going to attack. The only thing that I'm worried about, Pat, a lot of people out there, because I know this is what's going to happen. An attack is going to happen on United States soil. Thomas Holman said it. Everybody's been warning it. We know. We know what the border was about, besides the drugs and the children and all this shit. They have terrorists in this country 100%. That because we're not all in with Israel. God forbid something happens here, and whoever it is says, hey, that's Iran. They're going to force Trump's hand. Because the only way to get America behind this is when stuff happens here. Nine, 11 happened here. Everybody, me included. I was in the military. Let's go and kill everybody. And then we found out, wait a minute, they don't have the nukes and everything. That's the only fear for me, Pat. I'm good for Israel. They're doing it strategically. They're not blanket bombing everything and flattening it. My only thing is, I don't want zero Americans involved and zero Americans to die, period.
Adam Sosnick
Adam, there's so much to unpack here, but what I would like to start off by saying is, you know how DJ Khaled has a famous meme? It's like, congratulations, you played yourself. You ever heard him do that? That's how I feel. The whole relationship with Trump and Netanyahu and what they've done to the media, in my opinion, Trump and Netanyahu have been coordinated on this entire process. Marco Rubio came out, made a statement, basically said, yeah, we knew exactly what was happening. So if you've been following history, they've been doing these nuclear talks with Iran for years. They had a bad deal with under Obama. Trump unwinded them. They've been going back and forth for the last 60 days, almost pretending to have talks. Now, if you know anything about the ayatollahs and the mullahs in Iran, talk is cheap. The only thing they respond to is actions. So Trump, as of, like, 72 hours ago, was basically like, yeah, we've. We've done nothing. Nothing has happened. Essentially, they disrespected me, and no deal has been in place. So in my opinion, they already had the green light. When this deal doesn't get done, get everybody out of the embassies. Did they not remove everybody out of the embassies 48 hours ago? They give the green light to Israel. All right, if this is what you want to do, go for it. We're, quote, unquote, not involved whatsoever. Wink, wink. And that's what's happening. So everyone in Israel is amazingly proud. I had dinner with two IDF soldiers last night randomly. They were sitting next to me. They go, hey, I recognize you from ppd. Yeah, yeah. I go, where are you guys go? Did you serve in the idea? How do you feel about this? They go, you have no idea. We are so proud. We are so proud because Israel has been. Iran has been warning Israel, chanting, death to Israel. Death to America forever. And so people think that that just started. This war has been going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth like this since October 7th. So there's a lot of proud people in Israel today. And you know who the proudest people are in the world today, if you ask me. Have you seen the videos of the people of Iran screaming with pure joy and excitement that somebody is going to do something, hit them, end the regime in Iran. The happiest people in the world today are the Iranian people. Because, make no mistake about it, there's a big difference between the Iranian regime and the Iranian people.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah. So look, as you're going through this and watching everything that's taking place, my opinion is very simple. Everybody has. It falls in different categories. And let me kind of walk you through what different categories they fall under. You either have a. You're either a true believer. You're either a emotional person that someone caused you to believe what you believe in today, or you're a logical player, okay? But you fall under three different categories. And the last category, you know what the last category is? I don't give a shit about this. That's the last category. I don't care about this. I don't care what happens. I don't follow it. All I care about is the fact that yesterday OKC tied it 2, 2. And I'm glad. The fact that, you know, the panthers are tied 2, 2 with the Oilers, okay? And we were at the game, we saw Vince Vaughn, all these other guys and players were sitting right next to Connor McDavid's family. We're hanging out with Wayne Gretzky, son, family. All this. That's all I care about. I don't care about this political stuff. Let's set that person aside for a second. You're probably not going to be watching this podcast anyway if you're party number four. But let's talk about the first three, okay? The true believer, the two IDF soldiers you had dinner with last night, they're true believers, okay? The true believer, somebody that went to war, you know, on. On. What do you call it? 9, 11. Hey, we're going. And it's like, that's the true believer, right? That I was in it. I experienced this. That's the true believer. That they went through it. Then you have the emotional people that got caught in you all of a sudden are woke, right? Israel sucks. And net. Yahoo's the second coming. Of the Antichrist. This is the right. And all you're doing is you're just following what you hear on Twitter or you're the, you know, oh my God, this is done. All these people getting killed, you know, I just, you know, we got to take them out. Take out the Iranians and take Alham. Take those guys out. We need regime change. But you're part of the emotional side. I'll be very transparent with you guys where I lie on this. Okay? With Iran and Israel. I lived in Iran, you know, as, you know, 11 years. And I saw what it was like and I saw what Iran was like previous to that. It's very weird. Today President Trump turned 79 years old. And you know what else happened? The revolution happened in 1979. I'm a guy with numbers. So revolution happened in 1979. Trump is 79 years old today. Today is Army's 250 year anniversary in the U.S. okay, and we just got a report that they're doing a no Kings protest. We just got the report that they're doing in Miami and they're doing it right here in Fort Lauderdale. Okay? We just got that report. 1500 cities, we found that they're doing it here and they're trying to impose fear and all this other stuff. Having a conversation with one of my guys yesterday and one of my favorite guys in the insurance company. I'm about to host a pretty big meeting on a lot of good things that's going on there. But I said, you know one thing that's very weird that's happened ever since I'm no longer there. What's that? This language has changed. What do you mean? I don't remember me ever training you guys to live in a life with fear based. What is this fear language? What is this fear like, oh my God, what if they do this and what if they do that? What if they do this pivot, Go call your audible. But this like seeping in of. Oh my God, I'm afraid I'm. This. This is freaking America. The hell are we talking about? This, this is, this is. We. We became what we became because we didn't Fear uk. We're like, no, we're gonna stand up. That was tough. That was really tough. And we're gonna go find a new entire land and build our own company. Talking about. Yeah, we're gonna. How are you gonna do it? Private jet? No, a frickin ship. You mean to tell me you guys didn't take planes?
Vinnie M.
No.
Patrick Bet-David
So imagine ships being made during that time. And you're going from one side to the other side. What is the risk? That's scary. Imagine you're on the ship, you got many days. All these sounds with wood and all this stuff. They're not making this stuff based on high end technology. And you have the faith to go all the way across and then you build the greatest country in the world that's about to turn 250 years old next year. This is a miracle. America is based on faith, values, principle and confidence. Leadership principles, on freedom, faith. We believe in God, we believe he's on our side. We believe this is going to happen. And then all of a sudden we're like, oh my God, what if they do this and what if they do that? What if they do to stop it already, Stop it already. You know, if they're going to do something and they scare the crap out of us, then we're falling for it. You know, if you really claim you're, you believe in God and you have faith, what happened when they were in the storm and everybody was panicking? It's like, what are you guys doing? Did you not remember that part in Bible study or when you went to church? What was that message about? Everybody was panicking. Right. And this is when leaderships rise. So for me, as a person that was born in Iran. Yes. I can't stand this regime. Yes. They've caught. The only thing that's been persistent and consistent is the following. When the Shah was in Iran, did Israel already existed?
Adam Sosnick
Yes.
Patrick Bet-David
Yes or no, was Israel causing chaos? Was there war in the Middle East? Let me say this one more time. When Iran was ran by the Shah, what year was the Shah of Iran, what years did he run Iran?
Brandon Tatum
53 through 79.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, 53 is the oil consortium, so 54 is the oil consortium.
Vinnie M.
41.
Patrick Bet-David
41 to 79. Because he started at 21 years old. Young man, right? 41 to 79. When did Israel become a nation?
Adam Sosnick
48.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, so check this out. Why is it that between 48 to 79, while the Shah was the king of Iran running Iran, why is it for 31 years there is no major war in the Middle East? Why is that? So to the people that want to say it's all Israel's fault, how come there wasn't that in Iran for 31 years? I'm curious, answer that question for me. And why is it that from 79, when the mullahs, the Hezbollahs, the IRGC, all these guys, the Khomeinis, all of them took over, why has there Been chaos in the Middle east since 79. Whose fault is that? America has been consistent. Yes, I know America wanted the oil from Iran and yes, I know UK wanted it and MI6 and CI and all this stuff. And yes, I also am aware that the Shah didn't trust Israel, the Trident trust, you know, what they were doing with media and finance and the ambition and the level and the control and the influence and all that stuff. He knew what was going on there. He wanted to compete with them. He didn't see himself as a victim. He's like, we're going to be doing the same thing. And they're like, wait a minute, this guy's too ambitious and he thinks he can go up against all of us. Let's take this guy out. We need chaos in the Middle East. Oh, shit. Even Israel being involved. Let's just say for Iran and the Shah fallen, there is chaos down the Middle East. On who though? On hudo, who did that. So, yeah, for me, the most consistent thing behind the chaos in the Middle east has been Iran. That's just the reality of it. So we can say whatever we want to say. That's a fact. On what's happened there now, since then, what has happened to Israel. They've gotten more powerful, they've gotten better relationship, they've gotten more contact, you know, contacts and more money and more resources and they're more connected in different places. And, you know, all this other stuff. They've controlled Hollywood, which means the messaging and all the movies is controlled by them and all that other. Yes, they did that. Guess what?
Brandon Tatum
What?
Patrick Bet-David
That was their strategy on what they did and they won in that area. Other people could have done it, but they had the vision of saying, we believe Hollywood's one way to persuade the entire world. And you know, a big part of that is maybe they learned from another guy where they would ever see. And you know the story about Titanic. You know who was the first producer of Titanic? You know, someone named Adolf Hitler. Do you know the first Titanic was Adolf Hitler? He produced it.
Vinnie M.
The first movie.
Patrick Bet-David
Go, go. Pull up Titanic. First Titanic. Who funded the first Titanic? Not 79, the first one. First. Who funded the first Titanic movie?
Tom Z
The Nazis.
Patrick Bet-David
The Nazis? It's not 1997. The first one. Okay, the first one. The first one, 1943 film was funded by the Nazi regime through its production company, ufa. It was a propaganda film to depict British characters as villains and highlight fiction Germ officer as a hero. And the film was overseen by Joseph Goebel, the Nazi minister of Propaganda. So guess what? Germany realized the way to get people to think Nazi soldiers are good is through a movie. And what did Israel's like, oh, you're going to play this game. We're going straight to Hollywood because it works. And you know, that doesn't mean it's good bad. It's just it's an effective way of doing it. Hitler used it for his own reasons. And Israel's like, we're going to use it to tell our story of what happened with Israel. And here's who we are. Hey, you know what? Other people could have done that, they did that. And then you bring it to today, right when Netanyahu said I am telling you, if we go Saddam Hussein, Iraq, da da da da da. And I'm watching the way he's doing it again, right? Man, he knows how to sell fear porn. He knows how to sell that so well. And by the way, that's an art. He knows how to sell it. Watch this clip here. Go for it. Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

Yesterday we're having this training for our executive team with Dale Carnegie's team. We brought him in here to train our guys. We do this quarterly, if not every six months. But we brought him here yesterday. You know what's one of the quotes that he said? Here's one of the quotes that the guy said yesterday. He says, oh, I hope I find this 1930. I have to say this quote. Oh, it's such a powerful quote. Are you kidding me?
Vinnie M.
What happened?
Patrick Bet-David
He says, the quote. He says is. I'm trying to. I'm trying to. Tom, you tell me if you remember this quote. He says there's nothing. Oh, he says there's no. He says when you, when you give your opinion in a way of it being a fact, you know, your, your, your manipulating the audience. In other words, I can't find it.
Tom Z
I have it. If you want an opinion disguised as a fact is an invitation for an argument.
Patrick Bet-David
Did you see that? An opinion disguised as a fact is an invitation for what? An argument. He gave his opinion as a fact is an invitation for an argument. Replace the argument with war. A war.
Brandon Tatum
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
You understand what I'm saying?
Brandon Tatum
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
So he's also been a player in causing this mayhem. So I'm not sitting here telling you. You know what I do know? What I do know is if Israel is able to single handedly do this without us getting involved, great. Here's a problem, though. Here's a problem. And I told this story to Taylor the other day at the hockey game. You remember this? So it's, it's a, the last time I went to a nightclub where I went partying was Highlands in Hollywood. Some of my friends will remember.
Vinnie M.
I remember, I'm saying, I know the club.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah. So we go there one night and one of our friends is there, good looking guy, rb, he always dated beautiful girls. And we walk in, his girl left him for a guy and it was nasty, it wasn't pretty. And I'm there with another hothead and a calm guy and a couple other guys that just want to go find some girls. And Arby's girlfriend is all of a sudden there and he says, I want to go say hi to her. And we're like, you don't need to do that. So now I just want to go say hi to her. I said, I'm telling you, you don't need to do that. He says, I'm just gonna go say hi to him. We're like, dude, if a fight breaks out, man, we're not in walks up to her and we're looking from a distance. So imagine you're like 30ft away and it's loud, you can't hear but you're seeing body language and we're all just looking, looking, looking. And then all of a sudden, a guy shows up, taller guy, six, one, six, two, whatever. He shows up and they start talking. And you all of a sudden, yeah, yeah, yeah, like this, like, here it comes. I look at a couple of my friends, I'm like, here we go. You know what happens? Pushing, shoving, we go in. Beer bottles being thrown, punches being thrown. Cops come, they arrest us. I said, listen, man, I'm out of here. You will never see me out of nightclub ever again. It was nasty. That thing went from zero to club. Shutting down within minutes. It was like, boom, boom, boom, done. Okay? Like that. So my concern with this is if it goes like that, Iran, if Iran is as manipulative, as dark as they want to be, you know what Iran's next move needs to be? Hit a US Base. Because that. You're going to cause a division in America. Hit a US Base right now. That's what Iran, if they want to create, and I'm not sharing strategies here, I'm just saying to them, if they do that, then all of a sudden they pin Israel against us. And you're going to see what's going to happen in America. X will be on fire. You know, media will be on fire. People will be pinned against each other. I told you. I knew I was right. I tweeted about this 16 years ago and I was going to jump up. Boom. Right? They were all behind it. Iran, their next move isn't attacking Israel. Iran has to, you know, if they're deceptive dark enough, that would be their next move. And if they do that, then America's a shit show. Like, shit show at the height that is my biggest effing concern, is that happening. That happens, forget about it.
Adam Sosnick
So respect on that opinion. And I totally understand why the people play that pill, that clip about Benjamin Netanyahu. Whatever happened in Afghanistan and Iraq, as an American, was an unmitigated disaster. We spent trillions and trillions of dollars. Look at Iraq now. Look at Afghanistan now. I'll make no apologies for that. Was a mess. But Iran, I could say with the utmost certainty they are enriching uranium. I don't even think it's a question. You want to know how I know that? You know the worst profession you would probably want to get into right now, if you're an Iranian? Go to college and try to become a nuclear physicist. Go to college in Iran and try to become a nuclear scientist. I guarantee you it won't be A long career because you will be eliminated. You know, Israel has pinpointed strategically two types of people, military leaders and anyone with a PhD with nuclear science on their pin. Those guys are all dead. And if you continue to basically enrich uranium, you'll end up dead as well. And Israel's very clear on this. They got one doctrine. Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. And if you're that person that's trying to help them enrich uranium and establish a nuclear weapon, you probably won't have a long life expectancy. Now I totally understand why there's three different camps. You know, you give different camps. Here's where I'm at. Totally understand why people, Americans I'm talking about, are pro Israel. Totally understand that there are allies, there are friends, shared values, Judeo Christian values. They're on the forefront of eliminating terrorism. Totally understand. I also understand the even what they're calling it now, the Woke, right? Sort of like the maga. Who Isolationists. We want no part of this. America first. Leave us out of this. No more foreign entanglements, no more foreign wars. I get that. Who I don't understand is the people who are now rooting for Iran to eliminate Israel. Okay? So excuse me, who's chanting Death to America. Who's chanting Death to America and burning the American flag? Pretty sure it's Iran. Weren't they the first people to do this them in North Korea? So let's not forget who our enemy is. So. And as far as the people on the woke, right, leaded by like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens in that camp, I get it. I believe they love America. You've heard the term globalize the intifada? Guys, if you bury your head in the sand like Tucker Carlson, who's probably never even been in a fistfight in his life, much less serve in the military. Soft. They're coming to a city near you today. There'll be protests. A no king protest. How much you want to bet there's going to be Palestinian flags flying in a no ice, no king protest? How much you want to bet? Because what Iran has done is globalize the intifada. And if you want to pretend this isn't coming to a city near you, Tucker Carlson, just wait and see. Because they've already invaded Europe and they're seeping into America. So just wait and see. So anyone that's rooting for Iran to eliminate Israel is essentially rooting against America.
Vinnie M.
Well, I wouldn't put Tucker far that far. Woke, right? He's Rob, I just sent you this. Is Tucker's tweet, Pat. What? Tucker? Listen, Tucker. Say what you want, Adam. He loves America and he's America first, and he doesn't want any Americans dying. This is his tweet, Pat. The real divide is in between people who support Israel and the people who support Iran or the Palestinians. The real divide is between those who casually encourage violence and those who speak to prevent it, between warmongering and peacemakers. Who are the warmongers? They would include anyone who's calling Donald Trump today to demand airstrikes and other direct US Military involvement in war with Iran. On that list. Look who's calling out Sean Hannity, Mark Levine, Rupert Murdoch, Ike Pullmarder, and Miriam Adelson. At some point, they will all have to answer for this, but you should know their names now.
Adam Sosnick
So he's calling out his for his former bosses.
Patrick Bet-David
Wait a minute. Adam, sincere question. What is your challenge with the street here?
Adam Sosnick
This is the first time I'm seeing this, but I just sent Rob another tweet that Tucker Carlson allegedly said.
Vinnie M.
Allegedly. Are you sure that this is history? Because this is a fact. I got this from his. I got this from his actual X account.
Patrick Bet-David
Where did you send that, Adam?
Adam Sosnick
Slack. I just texted. Okay. He says the following. Tucker Carlson, drop Israel. He says it is not America's fight. Engaging it would mean a middle finger in the faces of millions of voters who cast their ballots in hopes of creating a government that would finally put the United States first. I'm totally cool with 90% of what he just said, but again, I'll say my point again.
Patrick Bet-David
Go to images, Rob. Just go to images. You'll find it. Go back and go to images. You'll find it right there.
Adam Sosnick
I'm totally with and understand the America first camp. I get it. But if you want to pretend to be an ostrich, just like they tried to do in World War II, oh, let's stay out of it. We're not getting involved. Next thing you know, you're going to have a Pearl harbor situation. Next thing you know, you're gonna have a 911 situation. Next thing you know, oh, that's happening.
Vinnie M.
Regardless, though, we're. We're gone, Adam. Something bad's gonna happen. Okay, so because 20 million people came in here and they were threatening us in front of the camera, they were saying, soon you're gonna know your.
Adam Sosnick
Your name.
Vinnie M.
That's. I mean, that's inevitable. But from everything that you just said with Tucker, Tucker again is America first. And there's a lot of that are in that.
Adam Sosnick
You're getting very confused with one word, the word first, because a lot of people use the word first and then think there's a second and third and fourth and fifth. No, homeboy, in his mind, it's America only. That's it. Isolationist America only. And that's not the way the world works anymore. America first. I'm America first, straight up. But I'm not America only. We have the luxury of two amazing, beautiful oceans. But I don't know if you know, why are we building. Why is Trump building the Golden Dome now? Why are we building that? Because we're scared that protesters are going to bomb and nuclear bomb us? No, because the world is a freaking scary place. And whether it's Iran or whether it's North Korea or whether it's China or whether it's Russia, somebody's going to come for us. And what we need are allies who share maybe this information. Huh? What ally out there built something called the Iron Dome, funded by America, by the way, that might have some insight on how to build the Golden Dome so we don't fall under nuclear attack, so we can do the ostrich thing and pretend that Tucker Carlson is America first. Sure, I'll play that game with you. He's America only. And he's not even acknowledged that Iran has tried to kill President Trump. Are you fully aware of that? There's a man in jail right now, Iranian regime militant who's in jail right now for trying to kill Trump. Now, if somebody killed Trump, would you want to go to war for that?
Vinnie M.
I mean, the guy that, the closest anybody got was a white boy with the cell phone from texting people from overseas. That was. I don't know why he's dead.
Adam Sosnick
How about the guy in jail that is in jail, Trump?
Vinnie M.
Adam, everybody's trying to. Everybody from. There's people probably from Russia, there's probably people from Ukraine.
Adam Sosnick
How about the guy in jail?
Vinnie M.
Okay, Adam, you know how many attempts on Trump's life are probably happening that you're never going to know? Everybody from every country wants, of course there's people out there.
Patrick Bet-David
Well, let me ask this question, though. To his point, say an Iranian that represents the IRG takes out Trump. What should be the result? What's your, what's your thoughts on that?
Vinnie M.
I mean, it's going to be bad, but I mean, what, so do we just bomb Iran because of one person? Is he working for.
Patrick Bet-David
He's with them. Was. He's an insider with them.
Vinnie M.
Well, then there's a. There's going to be A big problem.
Patrick Bet-David
Which is what? Like a war?
Vinnie M.
I wouldn't. I wouldn't say a war, but there's definitely be a problem if somebody sent an assassin.
Patrick Bet-David
Because. Because let me tell you what, what. What's being said right now is not out of the reach of possibilities, okay? Right now, temperatures are high, by the way, if you notice Vinnie getting angry. There's a lot of angry patriots in America today. Vinnie is not alone. A lot of people are furious, okay? And if you're somebody who supports Vinnie, you support the brand, you're an angry patriot yourself, and you want to go out there and show it in the marketplace. I'm an angry picture. What's going on, Whatever it could be. Go to vtmerch.com support Vinnie Angry Patriot collection. Hat, shirts, all that stuff.
Vinnie M.
Can I say something? And I appreciate it. And guys, the bucket hats for summer, for everything. The shirts. Look, the, the shirts are. The T shirts, the one that I have on right now are down to 19.99. Am I right, Rob?
Adam Sosnick
Yes, sir.
Vinnie M.
Yeah. They're down to 20 bucks. And then the hoodies are down to 24.99. And whatever you buy, you guys get a mug from this collection, you get a free mug. That's an Angry Patriot mug. That is right there. So. And people are like, this video. The election's over. Why are you still angry? I'm like, there's still enough stuff happening. It's not gonna stuff stop while I'm gonna be upset.
Patrick Bet-David
So. But let's go back to this. So the, the, the possibilities right now, this is boom, boom, domino, right? Boom. This domino, hits that domino. If all of a sudden something happens and a 911 type of event happens here.
Vinnie M.
Yes.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay. And say it does take out a president. Say the attack is on the White House. Say the attack is there. What should our response be?
Vinnie M.
Well, first, and I love that you said that when we talk about fear, when something happens, and I, I do believe something's going to happen, which I'm not. I'm not afraid. I'm like you. I'm. I'm gonna. We're gonna have to react accordingly without reacting on emotion and saying, oh, this is who it was. You know, this guy's passport was laying in the middle of the street talking about 911 and everything just to make us to go. Go to war. I say until everything is proven. Because when something like that big happens, Pat, how do we know unless they come out and they claim like, hey, listen, this was us, we did it. What are you going to do?
Patrick Bet-David
Let's say, let's say our own camp finds out that it was from Iran. What do you do if what a 911 type of thing, say an attack like that happened and we find that.
Vinnie M.
If it's okay, ready for this, if it's a 911 attack and it's an absolute certainty fact it was them, then it's war, period.
Patrick Bet-David
So you do have a level to go to where war options should be.
Vinnie M.
Oh, for me, what do you think as a veteran?
Patrick Bet-David
You're a reasonable guy, right? You're, you're a guy that you, you can get emotional very quick and you can do your pipe thing you do once a month, but where would you be when it comes down to something like this?
Tom Z
So if, if, if there is, if.
Patrick Bet-David
Shit would have hit the fan, like, let's just say this comes to our soil, then what happens?
Tom Z
If you take out our president and it is a government, it's a state, it's a state. Action is what we're talking about here. We are going to, in reverse order, number three, we are going to economically strangle you. Number two, we are going to diplomatically isolate you. And number one, we are going to take an action against you and those in your government that perpetrated it and it will be lethal. And if it takes a little bit of noise, smoke and sound to get there, we're going to do it. But we will take you out, we will isolate that organization diplomatically and then we will absolutely strangle you economically.
Vinnie M.
So, Tom, but can I say one thing but Tom, so number one is technically by definition war. If they state sanctioned you come and you kill Donald Trump and you blow up a bunch of people, we are going to war with your country. But we have to know definitively war.
Tom Z
Is full force versus full force. I think if Khomeini was responsible for this, do you think that all of the rest of the Qatar and all the rest of foreign governments are going to get the fuck out of the way? Excuse me. Yes, I do, 100%. Because they'd be like, hang on, not us.
Vinnie M.
No, no, no, you're on your own.
Tom Z
You just killed the great Satan's wife. You better watch out, it's coming. And we're not necessarily going to bomb the heck out of civilians. We're gonna go in there and we're gonna find the people and we are gonna tear them up, then we're gonna isolate them politically on a world stage. You better not be negotiating with them or it's your ass as well. And then finally we're Gonna embargo them until the return of Christ, I think.
Adam Sosnick
Vinny, do you believe the Iranians, the ayatollahs, the mullahs, when they shout death to America?
Vinnie M.
Of course.
Adam Sosnick
How much do you believe?
Vinnie M.
Of course they hate us.
Adam Sosnick
Do you think they're doing that just because they like the phrase I actually believe it?
Vinnie M.
No, they believe it.
Adam Sosnick
Okay, so do you think they're true believers in what they believe in?
Vinnie M.
Yeah.
Adam Sosnick
So if you're a true believer, how much do you think you convince a true believer to not be a true believer?
Vinnie M.
Meaning what?
Adam Sosnick
Like, if you believe something. No. No negotiation, no tactic, no conversation. Is that going to change your mind at all?
Vinnie M.
If I'm a true believer in something like. Like Christianity, yeah. No, you're not.
Adam Sosnick
You're never gonna change. What if I were to tell you as much as you believe in Jesus, beloved, believe in Christianity, you don't believe as much as these guys believe in the 72 virgins, jihad, and meeting Allah. I'm telling you right now because they're willing to risk their life and die for that. Cause I'm not saying that. That you're not willing to put your life on the line, but I firmly believe that they firmly believe in what they're doing. So when they're shouting Allah Akbar and globalized Intifada and death to America, I believe them. And you know who also believes them? The people of Israel. The Israelis actually believe them. So they're in unison, basically saying, finally, we went and took down what we needed to take down in Iran, because I firmly believe they are trying to enrich uranium. I firmly believe that they are trying to develop a nuclear weapon.
Vinnie M.
But I'm the same.
Brandon Tatum
They didn't start talking about that, though, until you notice right after the assassination attempt on Trump when everybody knew that he was going to win. So I'm like. As much as I'm supportive of this, I'm totally skeptical of the uranium thing. Like. Like, I could agree with them attacking Iran and not believe the uranium thing at the same time.
Patrick Bet-David
Tell me more. Tell me more.
Brandon Tatum
I mean, the committee that investigated that, they got a lot of their intel from the Mossad. And then the same thing happened with what was Iraq. They were saying that they were about to have nuclear weapons.
Patrick Bet-David
Oh, so. Got it. So the report. You're saying the report on the nuclear weapons came from Israel? That was given. It's not something that we collected ourselves. Assad gave it to CIA. How do you know that? Yeah.
Brandon Tatum
I don't know how the news was reporting. That was the ieia, the. The UN committee that investigates that stuff. Got a lot there.
Patrick Bet-David
What can you see? Can you see the intel of Iran have a nuclear weap? How much of that intel was gathered from us directly versus how much of that intel was given to us from Assad? I'm curious.
Adam Sosnick
Valid question. I mean, I've seen that report. If that were not the case, why Israel only attacking nuclear sites? So if Israel was attacking civilian sites.
Patrick Bet-David
Or.
Adam Sosnick
Cultural sites or any other site, government sites, I, you know, certainly civilians. I'd be the first one being like, what the f. Are you doing Israel? But the fact that they are pinpointing nuclear sites.
Patrick Bet-David
All right, so here we go. Tells me intelligence.
Adam Sosnick
Okay, they're on to something.
Patrick Bet-David
Use for Israel's strike on Iran June 25 was reportedly gathered primarily by Mossad, although US intelligence likely played a supporting role. Corroborative massage role. Israel's media and security analysts have pointed to Mossad as the principal agency behind the targeting of the nuclear military. The agency has a long track record of deep operations inside Iran, including previous attacks on nuclear scientists, sabotage at Natas, and the theft of Iran's nuclear archive in 2018. Precision targeting. The strikes appear to target high value individuals, critical infrastructure, US Involvement. According to Axios and other reports, the US was informed in advance of Israel's actions, but was not operationally involved. However, it's plausible that shared signal intelligence or surveillance data from US assets in the region may have aided Israel's planning.
Vinnie M.
So on the top it says it was used, it was gathered primarily by Mossad, even though we likely played a supporting or cooperative role. So Brandon's right in the fact that.
Patrick Bet-David
So let me ask you, do you believe Iran is working on having a nuclear weapon?
Adam Sosnick
Bingo.
Brandon Tatum
Working on it.
Patrick Bet-David
Do you believe that?
Vinnie M.
Working on it for sure.
Patrick Bet-David
Do you think they have it?
Brandon Tatum
Probably not.
Patrick Bet-David
Give me a percentage where you think they have it or not.
Vinnie M.
15%.
Patrick Bet-David
15%.
Brandon Tatum
Like 49.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay. Tom.
Tom Z
Functional bomb. 5%. Enriched uranium on the path to it, 80%.
Patrick Bet-David
So how long does it take to be functional?
Tom Z
It's. It's a couple years. You got to have testing, you got to put together the bomb, then you have to put together a system to deploy the bomb, which is why North Korea keeps putting all those test missiles into the ocean.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Tom Z
It takes time.
Brandon Tatum
Yes. What do you think?
Tom Z
I mean, you could look at those two examples side by side. North Korea and Iran.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, so let me ask you a question. Let's go to the next one, Adam, because you always say this one here. So the fear is What Israel is doing this because they don't want Iran. Do you think Israel is doing this because Israel wants the empire to fall? Do you think Israel is doing this because Israel doesn't want Iran to have nuclear weapons? Why do you think Israel is attacking Iran?
Brandon Tatum
It's their window. Because I think they would get the most support right now from this administration, like if they things were to go bad or if they were needed because like yesterday we were even helping them defend in their airspace.
Patrick Bet-David
Yes. I want to show you this clip. This is President Trump on Thursday prior to the attack, what he said. Is this the clip, Rob?
Tom Z
Yes, sir.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, watch this clip, folks.
Brandon Tatum
What is dedication?
Patrick Bet-David
The thing that drives me every day as a dad is Dariana. We call him day Date for short. Every day he's hungry for something, whether it's attention, affection, knowledge, and there's this huge responsibility in making sure that when he, he's no longer under my wing, that he's a good person. I want him to be able to sit back one day and go, we worked together. We did a good job. That's dedication. Find out more@fatherhood.gov brought to you by the U.S. department of Health and Human Services and the Ad Council.
Brandon Tatum
As the Israelis apparently gear up for.
Patrick Bet-David
Some kind of an attack, a possible attack on Iran.
Vinnie M.
Are you trying to talk Netanyahu out.
Patrick Bet-David
Of doing that or are you so.
Vinnie M.
Against Iran having a nuclear weapon that.
Patrick Bet-David
You'Re okay, he does his thing because.
Vinnie M.
It is not an American war?
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, it's a very fair question.
Adam Sosnick
Look, I want to have an agreement with Iran.
Patrick Bet-David
We're fairly close to an agreement. We are fairly close to a pretty good agreement. It's got to be better than pretty good, though.
Adam Sosnick
But it's got to be.
Patrick Bet-David
I much prefer an agreement as long as I think there is an agreement.
Adam Sosnick
I don't want them going in because.
Patrick Bet-David
I think I would blow it might help it, actually, but it also could blow it. But we've had very good discussions with Iran.
Vinnie M.
Blow it.
Patrick Bet-David
Whether or not we get there, I can't tell you. But it'll happen soon. I say this, Peter, very strongly. They can't have whether it's going in.
Adam Sosnick
Or not going in. They can't have a nuclear weapon.
Patrick Bet-David
I prefer, I prefer the more friendly path. Okay, so now, Rob, go to the other clip of CNN reporting the fact that President Trump. Do you know which one I'm talking about?
Tom Z
Yes. So I have two I SPEAKER two DANA bash. Well, I have actually ABC News reports.
Adam Sosnick
Here it is, ABC News reports saying.
Patrick Bet-David
That President Trump said that the strike was excellent. And then I also have ABC News.
Adam Sosnick
Reporting that Trump told Reuters that his.
Tom Z
Administration knew about the attack, which show both.
Adam Sosnick
Okay, here's the first one.
Patrick Bet-David
Just moments ago, the President, speaking with our John Carl, said of the attacks that he thinks it's been excellent. He said, we gave them a chance and they didn't take it. They got hit very, they got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you're going to get hit. And there's more to come, a lot more. And when asked if the US Participated in the attack in any way, the president interestingly said, I don't want to comment on that. That is not what Marco Rubio said last night. The Secretary of State coming out very quickly and making it clear that the US Was not involved, saying flatly, let me be clear, Iran should not target U.S. interests or personnel because of course, Iran has warned that it will retaliate against the U.S. now, the President this morning is set to meet with his National Security Council in the Situation Room. And this morning he still seems to be holding out hope that somehow these nuclear talks can be salvaged. Posting just a short while ago urging Tehran to come to the table, saying.
Adam Sosnick
Iran must make a deal before there.
Patrick Bet-David
Is nothing left, adding, just do it before it is too late. George and Martha, let me go back right there. Now go to the Reuters one, Rob, which is that US Knew about this. Thank you.
Vinnie M.
President Trump talking to ABC News tonight and what he's now saying about this Israeli attack. Let's bring in ABC chief correspondent Jonathan Carl live there at the White House. John, of course you talked with the president. We heard President Trump this week publicly warn Israel not to do this. In your phone call, he called the attack, attack, excellent. That was his word, saying Iran had its chance. Any indication how much did the U.S. know here? When did the U.S. know? Israel now saying it told the U.S.
Tom Z
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said point blank.
Patrick Bet-David
That he told the Trump administration that.
Tom Z
The attack was coming.
Patrick Bet-David
And late this afternoon, President Trump told Reuters, this is an exact, quote, we knew just about everything.
Vinnie M.
David, we don't know when the United States States was informed, but I can tell you this. U.S. officials I spoke to in the 24 to 36 hours before the attack had a clear sense of what was coming.
Patrick Bet-David
They may not have known the exact.
Vinnie M.
Details, but they knew that an Israeli attack on Iran was imminent. John Carl, live in the White House after talking with the President.
Patrick Bet-David
John, thank you. There you go. So the question then becomes going back to what I was Asking you guys, is Israel is it doing it because of the nuclear? They want to get rid of nuclear. They want to topple the regime. Topple regime, Tom, you think it's topple regime or nuclear?
Tom Z
I think it's 70% nuclear. But to go after nuclear, you're going to end up probably toppling regime. So 30% regime.
Patrick Bet-David
So who cares? If you go through the nuclear though, you're still the same leader staying there. So who gives a shit? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So if you're going to go after the okay, great. Same guy's running it. The only solution is so now then the question becomes go 5, 10, 15 steps ahead. Have they thought about like if they is Mossad that advanced, is the CIA that advanced today that they're thinking about who to replace them with? Like who is going to come back and run Iran? You think that far?
Tom Z
They're not going to make the era.
Patrick Bet-David
There isn't anybody though. But because if you think about it, when it happened in 77, 78, 79, they knew it was going to be Khomeini because he was in France and he was the guy that was going to come back from exile. I don't think Reza Pahlavi, the son here, is going to go back to Iran. I don't think he's going to go back to want to take his family. The Khomeini was willing to do it like this. Reza Pahlavi has not been to Iran since 1977, 78. He left pre revolution for training that he had at a young age. So you think he's going to go back in 46, 47 years to go run Iran?
Brandon Tatum
I mean maybe if conditions were safe where the regime had just fallen and there's an empty slot there for somebody who has name recognition to go do it. Maybe he would because I wish he would put himself right.
Patrick Bet-David
Who is that name?
Brandon Tatum
Reza? I think I, I hope, I wish Reza would because he has name recognition.
Vinnie M.
I just looked up at night because that's a, that's a great point. Is okay and two things. Number one, Israel, dude, there's their advanced is how hard would it be to take out the leader? How hard would it be? How hard strategically been trying? No, no, I think that they have but with us because we're, you know, quote unquote not involved if he dies. Because my thing is this and one of you, I don't know who was made a great point. The goal is what Let the people have somebody else lead them, Adam. Because if that's the case and death to America and all that. That attitude has to change, that brainwashing has to change. If they take that guy out, who's next? I asked Chad gbt. If Khomeini dies, they don't have a system like us where there's a VP and all that stuff. So maybe his son.
Patrick Bet-David
No, he's the supreme leader. Okay, so what if he is the spiritual leader of the nation? That's different than who the President is. Think about it like uk, you, the royalty family is the. Got you, the king. And then you have Starmer, who is the prime Minister. Right. So think about it that way. So he is the royal family.
Vinnie M.
Got you.
Patrick Bet-David
And then you have. This would be. It's not the model like the ones that we have here. Okay. Very different.
Adam Sosnick
You're talk, you're asking the question, who would replace the Ayatollah Khomeini?
Vinnie M.
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
It is a complete decimation of the, you know, the, the Hezbollah, the mola, the whole irgc to completely be wiped out and replaced by something new.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
And, and a lot of Iranians who live in Iran and who live in all around the world that would love to be able to go back. They, they are, believe it or not, they're rooting for this. Of course a lot of them are rooting for this.
Brandon Tatum
60%.
Patrick Bet-David
60% are rooting for this.
Adam Sosnick
Can I say who I think it could be to replace it? Literally anybody. Literally anybody. And I mean that sincerely, because when, when the CIA in America gets into regime change and toppling regimes, what's the criticism?
Vinnie M.
All right.
Adam Sosnick
Well, you never know who's going to be next. You take down Saddam, all of a sudden it's isis. You know, you take down Bashar Al Assad in Syria, who's going to be this guy? Let me tell you this. My friends in Iran, they know there's nobody worse than this current regime. They're not going to replace him with somebody worse. They're not going to replace them with somebody that's going to oppress them even more. The misery indexes in Iran is one of the worst in the world. The people are miserable, but they should be free. I, I hope and pray in our lifetime, in your lifetime, pbd, that you get to go back to Iran. Because I met so many Iranians, I met so many Persians. Who are the best people? The, the Reza Pahlavi. His, his daughter just married a Jewish guy in Israel. I want to say, like, there's friendship there, there's alignment there. And they know why do you think the Iranians are cheering for Israel because they know that Israel and IDF are not their enemy. They know that their enemy is within. The barbarians are at the gate. And they're in the gate of your country.
Tom Z
They're in the courtyard.
Patrick Bet-David
They're in the courtyard.
Adam Sosnick
So the people of Iran deserve so much better. They deserve so much better. And this is the closest that I can remember that the Iranian people have at least felt free. Did you see that one video of the guttural response? And this is just a normal Iranian.
Tom Z
Guy in his house filming at night.
Adam Sosnick
Filming at night, seeing the Israeli fighter jets.
Tom Z
Hit them, hit them, hit them.
Adam Sosnick
Did you hear, Rob, I text you this or it's in the slack.
Tom Z
But he was saying it in language.
Adam Sosnick
He's saying it in Farsi. If you want to know how the people of Iran feel, pbd, you would know better than me. If you want to know how they feel inside, in their gut, you want to listen to this clip. He's with, with, with the most passion you've ever seen, yelling, get them. Get them. Kill the bastards of his own government regime. So that. Do you have this, Rob? I'm looking in slack. I don't have it. Did you send it?
Vinnie M.
Group text for PBD podcast Adam, while he's searching, though. We have to be like. When you say anybody to replace him would be good.
Adam Sosnick
Anybody.
Vinnie M.
Anybody would not be good. Because look what happened. Like you said with what the serious. With what Syria did, with what they did with Bashar in Syria. Would they replace them with people that are killing Christians?
Brandon Tatum
Yeah, the ISIS guy.
Vinnie M.
I'm sorry that you can't just say anyone because the CIA puts in anyone and they just so happen to be killing. So my face.
Adam Sosnick
Great point. That's horseshit. So you know what you're basically saying? You know what you're saying? Let's have an election. Let's give them freedom to decide who they want. I guarantee you the people of Iran know what they want, and it ain't the Ayatollah. If the Ayatollah ran for election, pbd, the Ayatollah versus literally anybody.
Patrick Bet-David
You think Iranian people won, Ayatollah? Do you think they.
Vinnie M.
No, no. Here's my question, though.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Vinnie M.
In. In a perfect world. Ready? We would have. The. Israel would have to take out that. Who right now is the Ayatollah? Take him out.
Brandon Tatum
I think their own people have to. I don't think they have to stand up. It's not possible.
Vinnie M.
You said this. How many podcasts ago. It's him say enough is enough. Like, we're tired of this and they need to rise up.
Patrick Bet-David
What's this, Rob?
Vinnie M.
I believe this is saying that. This is talking.
Adam Sosnick
This is it. There's a difference. The people have been saying that. And you know what happens when they say it? They end up dead.
Patrick Bet-David
Iranian here. So I just saw a video of Israeli fighter jets on top of the skies in Tehran, close to where the supreme dictator's house is. And, you know, you can hear, like, got a dog park, fires and missiles and whatever. I want you to take a moment and listen to the voice of the Iranian man who is filming this video. Did you hear that? That is 46 years worth of frustration.
Adam Sosnick
And she's right.
Patrick Bet-David
Desperation coming out.
Adam Sosnick
Adam.
Patrick Bet-David
Hit the bastards, right?
Adam Sosnick
How many people in Iran, what percentage of people do you think have that exact same reaction?
Patrick Bet-David
Let me tell you. I had Reza Aslan on. Reza Aslan on. Reza Aslan who was on the podcast. If. I don't know if you remember this. This guy here, okay, he was on the podcast, and he used to work at cnn. He went to a place. In the famous video, the most viewed clip on CNN's YouTube channel is this guy. He went, and when they were eating human beings, he was at a place where they're e. Scared. Yeah. He was so scared that cnn, he.
Tom Z
Was sitting on the ground wearing the beads.
Patrick Bet-David
They were saying, here, drink my pee. And they wanted to. They wanted him. That's the video. Look how many views that thing has. 33 million views.
Vinnie M.
They want to eat him. They're seasoned.
Patrick Bet-David
He is so scared with what's going on.
Tom Z
We always put this headdress on hors d' oeuvres.
Patrick Bet-David
That's all. Look at that.
Vinnie M.
Teeth.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, Bones, he's panicking at this point, and he's telling his guy, we got to get out of here. Right? Like something's going on. Anyways, he's on the podcast.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
You know who he is against? He's not a fan of the show. He is not a fan of the show. Now, here's what's crazy. We're sitting in the podcast, having a civil debate, and he's talking about how Mossadegh was this and, you know, all this other stuff that, you know. He's not a fan of the Shaw and all this stuff. Great. Then I said, so can I ask you a question? Yeah. How come your parents kept you there under the Shah and never left, but they left when Khomeini took over? Well, that's not how it is. And It's. They're bad, but it's. I said, no, no, no. It's very simple. Very simple. This is the Mexican flag. In a US Situation, you carrying the. Waving a Mexican flag in America. Go back and live in Mexico. I respect that. I have one of my guys that said, I'm going to go back and live in Michoacan. He did. True Believer, I wish. You know how much respect I have for that guy. Yeah. We pay him a half a million dollars, and he says he wants to go back and live in Mexico. You're a true believer. I have a lot of respect for you. Go do it right. But to me, when you hear these stories of people that Shaw was an evil man and Savak and all this other stuff, you live there peacefully during his time, and you cannot go back and live there today. And your parents left. All the gibberish people feed and all the stuff that they watch and see what's going. All this stuff that they keep saying. Iran's been a mess since these Hezbollahs and these people took over. It's been a mess since they took over, and the Middle east has been in chaos. And every single time you want to tie it to somebody, it's very easy. It's such an easy market right now to blame everything on Israel. It's a lazy. What do you call it?
Adam Sosnick
It's a intellectually lazy argument.
Patrick Bet-David
No, it's just. It's lazy. And you're easily being manipulated where you have to find a way to logically decide what's going on and understand everybody's motives. When we were building the insurance company, I had a couple guys in a company. Jake Paul tweeted something a couple days ago. I freaking love. I love Jake Paul's tweet from a couple days ago. How random. They were going to Jake Paul's tweet. Look at this tweet. What an awesome fricking tweet. Zoom in a little bit. This is so freaking true right there. Your biggest fan is a stranger. Your biggest hater is someone you know. Wow.
Vinnie M.
Noodle on that.
Patrick Bet-David
I mean, it's so funny where some of the people you've done the most for are your haters now. And some of the people you've done nothing for, they're willing to do anything and everything for you. Life is very, very weird on how this thing works. It's very easy right now to sit there and, you know, we're doing business, and I have a couple guys in a company that the guy sits in front of me and he tells me how much he's have changed his life, but in the last two weeks, he's told five different people how much he can't stand me.
Vinnie M.
Really.
Patrick Bet-David
And I'm sitting in front of him and I'm entertaining the conversation, and I'm just watching. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I. All these other five people, there are hundreds with me. I trust what they're saying. None of them manipulative and deceptive. And I'm just watching him, like, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. Much love. But you know what? Even though he was the most manipulative guy that we had, he still played a positive role in the company. And that's the hard thing about being a leader when you're sitting there negotiating. If I'm Trump talking to Netanyahu, you think Trump trusts Netanyahu 80%. No, he doesn't. Trump knows what's going on, but Trump knows He trusts Netanyahu 30%, but he trusts Khamenei 2%. You still have to find a way for the 30% guy to do a fight that you're not doing and still be ready in case something comes back that's above everyone's pay grade. Everybody here doing content, given their opinions, given everything. And emotional. There's guys that are bashing Israel because their investor was Jewish and they are now filing bankruptcy and losing everything. But the easy person to blame is the Jew because you were a bad businessman. That's not the Jew's fault. That's your bad businessman's fault. Okay, like, I know what it is. When we go to dinner with Adam, you know, what are the chances of Adam taking a check when we go to dinner, what are the chances of Adam putting his card out there, paying for dinner? What is it? It's zero, by the way.
Adam Sosnick
But let me tell you, they do Jewish jokes on them. They do.
Patrick Bet-David
Guys, let me tell you what I do know, though.
Tom Z
That's not a Jewish joke. That's a Jewish joke.
Patrick Bet-David
That's an Adam joke. Okay, but. But let me. Let me tell you this, though. But you know what I know about Adam? He's gonna pay for the valet.
Vinnie M.
Oh, gangster.
Patrick Bet-David
That. I know one thing about Adam. I know one thing about Adam. You know what's crazy? I'll give. I'll give Adam a compliment. You know, as much as you talk and we talk and we have fun and we say the stuff that we say and we allow our environment, you know, you know, Jillian said something and, you know, Anna said this, it's just like, it's so funny, you guys. The way. The way you guys do PBD podcast. It looks like from the outside that you guys. You know, there's fights and people can't stand each other, but you guys are actually like friends, and you're able to make it work. Yeah, we're able to make it work. Okay. You know, we're able to make it work. Adam. It doesn't matter. When we're doing a podcast, Adam shows up from Miami. It doesn't matter what it is. He shows up. Guess what? This is the part where, you know, you have to try to find a way, even if your favorite influencers in the world get you emotional, to act like a neurotic, freaking crazy person. That's their job. The job of a great content creator is to be an element of showmanship. But you can't let that showmanship cause you to get so irrational that you're suddenly acting like a lost cause and you can't think for yourself. No. Like, right now, even here, today, he said something. I know. What are you talking about? And everything. Then Vinnie says, hey, oh, that's. That's right. What do you think, Vinnie? But it's like, so what position are you? You have to kind of play that for yourself because you don't know 100%. Everything. Nobody does.
Vinnie M.
Zero.
Patrick Bet-David
You're not in there negotiating. We're all just speculating. All of us, me, everybody. And including everybody else out there that's in the space. Left, right, center. Everyone's speculating and then adding their own opinion. Just know your opinion doesn't mean it's a fact. That's my opinion. This is what I think. I could be right or wrong, you know, and then you get to go and say, oh, they're right more often than they're wrong, and the other guys are more wrong than often than they're right. And then you judge it. Totally fine. That's how the market works. I'm okay with that. I don't have any problem with that. But this. This is a season where we have to fully. We have to fully be ready and try to find. To control our emotions as much as possible. Mine are very clear. Guys, I was born and raised in Iran. I'd love to be able to go back. I can today. I don't like war. I've never liked war. I've always liked stopping wars and stopping fights. I'll come in and we stop it, and boom. Let's find a way to do business together and move on. No problem. Many of the people that I was in enemies with. I'm doing business with right now. You think I sit there and I'm like, that guy trusts him 100%. No. But we're still able to do some stuff together. So to me, let's go to the next topic here, which is a no kings. King. No kings. Protest the ice and all that other stuff. Now they're saying they're coming to cities like Fort Lauderdale. Now they're saying they're coming to cities like Miami and they're coming to a city near you. That's the list right now. By the way, if you're looking at.
Vinnie M.
This, look at that. That looks insane.
Patrick Bet-David
Can you zoom in a little bit? Can you zoom in a little bit? What is the. What is Nebraska? You have nothing to worry about.
Vinnie M.
I just want to say South Dakota.
Patrick Bet-David
For those of you guys that are frightened, move to Nebraska right now. North Nebraska is safe.
Vinnie M.
Yeah. Look at South Dakota. They freezing their ass.
Patrick Bet-David
Look at Montana. Like, screw Montana. Protesting in Montana.
Vinnie M.
Trump sucks.
Patrick Bet-David
You know, so. So maybe north Texas. By the way, a strategic. Would be. A strategic move would be to move the White House to northeast Montana. By the way, take a look a little bit.
Vinnie M.
Look at Nevada.
Tom Z
Look at the middle of Nevada.
Patrick Bet-David
Oh, wow. Nevada as well.
Tom Z
No, no, no, Look, Pat, we're from California. We know Nevada. What the hell is that?
Patrick Bet-David
That's called Area 50. One time.
Vinnie M.
Okay, hang on.
Tom Z
There's a rest stop on the highway to Salt Lake City.
Adam Sosnick
What has the most yellow?
Patrick Bet-David
Can you zoom out a little bit?
Vinnie M.
East Coast. East coast for sure. It's like covet.
Patrick Bet-David
Oh, my God.
Vinnie M.
Right? It's like covetous over there.
Patrick Bet-David
Now.
Adam Sosnick
Who do you think these people are? They're going to be shown to these protests. Avatar, for the people that are showing up to these no Kings protest.
Vinnie M.
I'll show you. Ross, what would they look like?
Adam Sosnick
What color hair do they have?
Vinnie M.
I sent it to Rob. You guys have to see this. This is the guy. Rob, I slacked it to you.
Adam Sosnick
Who are they?
Vinnie M.
This is the type of guy that's going to be there. I slack this to Rob and I want to. As a father. As a father who goes to Disney. I've been with you there multiple times. How would you respond to this dude? This is a allegedly a transgender guy showing off his woman's dress at Disney. These are the people. Look at this. Look. Look at this look. It's not a joke. This isn't a joke.
Adam Sosnick
Looks like.
Vinnie M.
Look, look, Adam. Adam.
Patrick Bet-David
I've been wanting to twirl all day, so I'm Gonna twirl now.
Vinnie M.
He wants a twirl. This is Disney. No, he's not.
Patrick Bet-David
Adam.
Vinnie M.
He drove there. Adam. This guy drove there. But listen to this.
Tom Z
I'm with Adam. I don't want to pick on.
Patrick Bet-David
No, you're not.
Vinnie M.
Guys. You're not picking on him. He's a trans. Just play the clip. Listen to what he says here. Delicious. Adam, he drove there. You're not having. No. There's a mental issue that's called democracy. Watch this. This is what he says.
Tom Z
But he also might be a special guy. You know what I mean?
Patrick Bet-David
I love it here at Disneyland.
Vinnie M.
I love it here. Watch this. I wish it could stay longer, but.
Patrick Bet-David
But I'm gonna stay till they kick me out.
Vinnie M.
Why are they gonna kick him out?
Patrick Bet-David
My plan.
Vinnie M.
Why? That's his plan. Kick him out for what, Adam? What do you think that guy's gonna do?
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Vinnie M.
What bathroom do you think he's going to use?
Adam Sosnick
I'm with you.
Vinnie M.
So you're saying.
Adam Sosnick
I'm not. I'm not arguing with you. That guy's got a lot of issues.
Vinnie M.
Yeah, but he get. They let him in the Disneyland dress like that, and those are the people that's down.
Adam Sosnick
That is a good poster child.
Vinnie M.
He'll be at the protest.
Adam Sosnick
I agree with.
Vinnie M.
They'll be at the process.
Patrick Bet-David
What did that have to do with Kings? Kings.
Vinnie M.
I said this. He said, what type of people are going to be at the protest?
Patrick Bet-David
We're on King Skins. That. That. That has nothing to do with Kings. King. So let's stay on this. Rob, what's this here?
Adam Sosnick
This is President Trump when he was.
Tom Z
Asked about the no Kings protest. This happened Thursday.
Patrick Bet-David
Play this. I saw this one. Several no Kings protests planned across the.
Tom Z
Country on Saturday as well. What are your thoughts on those?
Patrick Bet-David
What are they going to. No Kings.
Vinnie M.
I don't feel like a king.
Patrick Bet-David
I have to go through hell to get a king. Would say, I'm not going to get this. A king would have never had the California mandate to even be talking to him. He wouldn't have to call up Mike.
Vinnie M.
Johnson and Thune and say, fellas, you.
Patrick Bet-David
Got to pull this off. And after years, we get it done.
Adam Sosnick
No, no, we're not a king.
Patrick Bet-David
We're not a king at all. Thank you very much, Pat.
Adam Sosnick
That is such a good answer from Trump.
Brandon Tatum
Yeah.
Adam Sosnick
Because go anywhere in the world where there's a king running the show, they wouldn't let you protest. Let's not forget, we're still in America. You can go out in every major city in America. Have the biggest protests of your life. And Trump, what do you have to say about it? No Kings. Like, this is still America.
Patrick Bet-David
The.
Adam Sosnick
The hypocrisy that comes from these no Kings protesters is just absurdity.
Patrick Bet-David
Is this the same guy from Disney?
Adam Sosnick
No.
Patrick Bet-David
No, he doesn't. He. I thought that's what you're posting. Rob, I said no more videos of that guy.
Vinnie M.
I'm so sorry.
Tom Z
Maybe.
Patrick Bet-David
Is this the same guy?
Tom Z
No, no. This is.
Patrick Bet-David
You guys are teasing me right now.
Tom Z
This is Brevard County Sheriff.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, this is Wayne Ivy.
Patrick Bet-David
Sorry, I didn't mean to say anything. I literally thought he's playing games with me right now.
Tom Z
This guy's not playing games.
Vinnie M.
No.
Patrick Bet-David
I can't hear him. Watch the voice. Be the same voice. You're going to jail. No, it's not. Let me be very clear about that. If you block an intersection or a roadway in Brevard county, you are going to jail. If you flee arrest, you're going to go to jail tired. Because we are going to run you down and put you in jail. If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard county, gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave in our county, you're most likely going to get run over like this guy and.
Tom Z
Dragged across the street.
Patrick Bet-David
If you spit on us, you're going to the hospital. If you hit one of us, you're going to the hospital and jail and most likely get bitten by one of our big, beautiful dogs. That.
Vinnie M.
Who is this guy?
Patrick Bet-David
This is. Point a gun at one of our deputies. We will be notifying your family where to collect your remains because we will kill you graveyard dead.
Vinnie M.
Wow.
Patrick Bet-David
We're not gonna play. This has got to stop.
Vinnie M.
Who is this guy?
Tom Z
Sheriff Wayne Ivy from the Brevard County Sheriff.
Patrick Bet-David
By the way. No relations to the other guy. I'm asking, but that.
Vinnie M.
Wow.
Adam Sosnick
That's America, buddy.
Patrick Bet-David
Wow. That was for him.
Vinnie M.
But you know what? Don't pass some people's attitude. And I know some of these people, they're like, this is.
Patrick Bet-David
Why would.
Vinnie M.
Why would the governor. Why would people.
Adam Sosnick
And they're angry.
Vinnie M.
You know what I say? I go. Because they're warning you that virus isn't going to spread into our town and our state, period, so. Because for like right now, somebody that sees that and they're trying to get the rally.
Patrick Bet-David
Oh, Tom has a video. Tom, can you send that video to Rob? The one that they started honking a horn. They ran off the street.
Tom Z
Yeah, let me find that.
Patrick Bet-David
The one you were talking about, by.
Tom Z
The way, Brevard County. For people in the US who are listening, it's on the Atlantic coast. It's John F. Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa beach, and north of Vero. So this is not middle of nowhere. This is right off Daytona. It's about an hour from Daytona.
Patrick Bet-David
What does a sheriff like that make you feel like?
Vinnie M.
I want him to be my sheriff.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Brandon Tatum
I want that proud to be in Florida.
Patrick Bet-David
I'd give that guy a raise. I would be like, listen, listen. I'm willing to raise taxes a quarter of a point on the entire county just to pay that guy an additional $200,000 raise. You kidding me?
Vinnie M.
What do you think the crime rate is in that. In that town?
Patrick Bet-David
I mean, I'm being sarcastic.
Vinnie M.
I'm being real. Like, it's low, right?
Patrick Bet-David
For sure. Go ahead and commit a crime. Yeah, go ahead and commit a crime. Rob, do you have that one video with them trying to protest?
Tom Z
Just send it to Rob.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay? Tom's playing games.
Brandon Tatum
And the fact that I just sent.
Tom Z
It, Rob, it's harder to play.
Brandon Tatum
Like, why does Stance have to come out and say that? Like, it's okay to run somebody over when they're standing in front of your car. I thought that would have went without saying, but like, in other states, I guess it's like you get in trouble if somebody, a protester, stand in front of your car blocking you.
Patrick Bet-David
Well, you know what Newsom's going to do is he's going to give you. You know, he's going to punish you, of course.
Vinnie M.
Right. Everything's gonna be your fault.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Adam Sosnick
We'll put a boot on your car, I'm telling you.
Patrick Bet-David
I thought it was related, but go back to.
Tom Z
But if you run over somebody in Florida, it's like, what do we have for him, Bob?
Patrick Bet-David
Something like this. I don't appreciate these pranks. I'm telling you guys, right?
Adam Sosnick
What is this, Tom?
Tom Z
Look at that.
Patrick Bet-David
Go back a little bit. Okay, watch this. Stop ice raids.
Tom Z
This is a different Tampa, different video of the same situation.
Patrick Bet-David
Watch.
Vinnie M.
Turn off the song.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, so they're doing what they're on there, like.
Vinnie M.
Yeah, because it's a red.
Patrick Bet-David
So the guy's, what, honking a horn? Yeah.
Tom Z
A guy starts honking, it turns red, and they move out of the way.
Vinnie M.
You damn right.
Tom Z
Okay.
Brandon Tatum
That's amazing.
Vinnie M.
This is Tampa.
Adam Sosnick
Welcome to Florida. Doesn't run anybody over them.
Patrick Bet-David
So today.
Tom Z
No, he didn't. Light turns green and the motorist continues.
Patrick Bet-David
When the protests happen today. Okay. We may be sending a couple of our guys. Don't be surprised if you see a guy who looks like Brandon with the USA hat being there just to see what's going to be happen. All we're doing is we're trying to find out what their ideas are, what they're upset about, who sent them there and who funded them. You know, who you know is giving these guys the money. But did you see the Chris Cuomo clip? Have you seen the Chris Cuomo clip? Okay, show the Chris. Do you know which clip I'm talking about, Robert?
Adam Sosnick
I don't, but I'll fund it by China.
Patrick Bet-David
There is a. Yeah, that. The whole who's funding these protests? Well, I have it, Rob, I'm going to text it to you. The whole who's funding the protest Clip. This one right here, it's a very, very. Is this the one, Rob?
Tom Z
Is this where he says, here, I'll.
Adam Sosnick
Just grab the one you sent.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, just show the one I sent you. Because it shows, you know, what's going on with who's funding it and what their reasoning is and the division. It's. It's very interesting. His take here, go ahead, watch this here. This is Cuomo, Vinnie's best friend by dark sources with a desire for our destruction. One of the main players in organizing.
Vinnie M.
And funding the Los Angeles protests is.
Patrick Bet-David
A group called Chirla, C H I.
Vinnie M.
R L A acronym Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights.
Patrick Bet-David
They have received millions in government grants and state grants.
Vinnie M.
But now reports are showing that there.
Patrick Bet-David
May be a foreign link, specifically from China.
Vinnie M.
China funding and organizing these protests. The pro Chinese far left Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Patrick Bet-David
They're known as the psl.
Vinnie M.
They are working with Churla helping fund the protests in Los Angeles and maybe elsewhere.
Patrick Bet-David
Remember, all the parties in China are controlled by the ccp.
Vinnie M.
So this is China and the party is pushing to destroy capitalism and the West.
Patrick Bet-David
This is its agenda.
Vinnie M.
This is what China wants.
Patrick Bet-David
They even have a term for the effort. It's called the Smokeless War, where they.
Vinnie M.
Have this theory of how they'll destroy the west without actually taking to the battlefield. That's what they did during the anti Israel campus protest.
Patrick Bet-David
The PSL worked hand in glove with.
Vinnie M.
Anti Zionist student groups and helped organize.
Patrick Bet-David
And fund the Columbia campus encampments. Now it gets scarier.
Vinnie M.
Where does the PSL get its money?
Patrick Bet-David
Enter Shanghai based socialist billionaire Neville Singham. 2017 he sold his tech company for about a billion. Reports show the same year he started funding far left groups like the PSL to the tune of millions.
Vinnie M.
Singham is not America's friend. He has deep business ties to the ccp, but also has strong ideological ties to communism, period.
Patrick Bet-David
People who worked for him says he's an admirer of Mao, Che Guevara, Hugo.
Vinnie M.
Chavez, not friends of American culture.
Patrick Bet-David
According to the New York Times, Singham.
Vinnie M.
Has funded and developed a deep global.
Patrick Bet-David
Empire of pro China nonprofits in the.
Vinnie M.
Media and grassroots political space, steering millions into these groups over the years, including the psl. And guess who was associated with the PSL and other Singham funded groups.
Patrick Bet-David
Elias Rodriguez. Ring a bell?
Vinnie M.
This scumbag, the 30 year old Chicago.
Patrick Bet-David
Man who murdered two Israeli staffers in.
Vinnie M.
Cold blood last month to make a political. I mean, Chris is sounding a lot like how we were with China with COVID talking about a.
Tom Z
But he's bringing the receipts.
Vinnie M.
Yeah, I know. With smokeless war and all that stuff, he's. I'm shocked they're not going after him for being racist against China. Because none of this was ever said during COVID Zero. Absolutely not. And we knew the whole time. So it's, it's. Listen, I love Chris. He has his moments where he has these, like, the sun shines on him a little bit, but overall it's like.
Adam Sosnick
Okay, I love you, Vinnie, but let's stay on this.
Vinnie M.
I am on this.
Adam Sosnick
Just because he was wrong with COVID doesn't mean he's wrong on this.
Vinnie M.
No, Time out, Time out. Who said. Who said he was wrong? I did not. Are you putting words in my mouth? I said it's shocking that he's blaming China for this, but couldn't blame China for Covid, which was one of the main reasons he's here and not at CNN anymore.
Adam Sosnick
You're saying that he was right about.
Vinnie M.
COVID No, he was.
Adam Sosnick
Exactly. You're saying he's wrong.
Vinnie M.
He's wrong about COVID I'm not saying wrong. I'm saying he never mentioned China. China was. It was off limits.
Adam Sosnick
Stay on point.
Tom Z
Whatever the hell.
Adam Sosnick
My point is that you went to Covid and I'm staying.
Patrick Bet-David
Move forward.
Adam Sosnick
Right here.
Patrick Bet-David
Five more minutes. We're wrapping up.
Adam Sosnick
I find. I find Chris in this particular argument to be highly credible. He brought receipts. He's showing you exactly what's going on, who's paying the bill. Agree. There's a famous saying. They say he who pays says the reason that PBD pays the bills, because he says. He says what's going on? He's the boss.
Tom Z
It's a philosophy of lobbying.
Adam Sosnick
Exactly. When you're paying you, you get to basically dictate what's happening right now. And I Said the other day when they were doing these ICE protests, I go, look, let's give a little credit. It's not just Soros. Let's give a little credit to China and Qatar and this foreign money that's coming, pouring in. And when globalism and Marxism and jihadism link up, that's. That means death to the West. Be careful, America.
Brandon Tatum
So every year, there's over a trillion dollars spent with these NGOs and these things like this that cause the protests. So, like, that's the bigger problem. This is one small thing with all that. But, like, right now, they're doing what they did. We did other countries where we overthrow governments using NGOs, using, like, fake protesters and stuff. So, like, this is something we're just starting to, like, acknowledge as a thing. Like, before, we thought they were actual protests. So I think, like, the bigger problem is that, like, people are able to hide between this. These layers of networks. Like, the Open Society has given, like, money to 20,000 NGOs over the course of its existence, like, $38 billion. So, you know, it's a lot of influence. And they could overthrow our country this way. Like, this is like a way to. Like, they said, they called it a smokeless. This is a really effective way to do that. And like I said, a trillion dollars is spent on this every year.
Patrick Bet-David
So you think. You think it's as effective as it was pre Covid?
Brandon Tatum
No, because now we're aware of it and the media is less potent than was before.
Patrick Bet-David
But I think it's a. You know, the most hated people for these professionals are. Are us.
Brandon Tatum

Adam Sosnick
Calling them out on their bs.
Patrick Bet-David

Adam Sosnick

Patrick Bet-David
What do you mean? I went to Ross with you. You said you looked at this and you bought it for 12.99. It was a nice shirt.
Adam Sosnick

Regular guys, you don't see my degree on the wall from Cornell or FR University. You know, we make sure Brandon's, Vinnie's degrees always on the wall right behind him. Right. America is sitting there saying, can we just listen to some real people? And I think those guys, the reason why Soros had to go buy those 400 radio stations, whatever he was, he's thinking that's still effective. It could be with the older audience. They hate people like us. Like, if he really, really wanted to control it, you know what he should do?
Brandon Tatum
Pay these people.
Patrick Bet-David
Go spend $5 billion, buy the top 60 biggest podcast. That's how you do it, right? If he really wanted to do something now, his son, his son may do it. You know what I'm saying? Like, he may come out and do stuff like that. But get ready for some real weird things going on with podcasts being bought.
Adam Sosnick
You mean how Qatar is allegedly funding one of them.
Patrick Bet-David
I mean, by the way, Candace and Theo, allegedly. Hey, guess what? Don't, don't, don't throw Russia out of it. Russia was also, you know, and then don't throw Israel.

I love the fact that they think that you've been bought by Israel. I go news to me, H, I haven't seen PD take one cent from anybody.
Tom Z
So they're as generous as you are.
Patrick Bet-David
No, but, but, by the way, but, but what I'm saying to you is, do, do you think, do you think Qatar is capable of doing that? Yes, absolutely. Israel's capable of doing that. Do you think Russia is capable? Of course. Do you think Soros will be capable of doing that? I'm telling you right now, be careful. I'm telling you right now, people want Spotify contracts. You're going to see the next three, five, ten years. People are going to want Soros contracts.
Vinnie M.
You, I know it bothers me that you're going to be right.
Patrick Bet-David
Dead serious. I am dead serious. Because his dad went and bought the radio stuff. The son is going to buy sp a podcast. And the only thing that I'm excited about, the difference between Qatar money, Russia money, Israel money. You're going to be able to track the money that he's buying these podcasts. Yep.

Brandon Tatum
Guns.
Vinnie M.
