With me walking with a federal agent leaving a doge party in D.C. guy, I walk up to him with my son to talk to him, ask him a question. I'll show you the clip on what happened to it if you haven't seen it yet. A lot of other things going on. Joy Reid is very emotional. It's a very tough situation there. Joy Reid, there's a clip of her crying. So a lot of people would be sentimental, but just a few years ago, she was saying stop crying to the people on the opposing side. So it's kind of hard to feel bad for. But her friend Rachel Maddow came out defending her and trying to give her some encouragement. And President Trump maybe leaked some information about Apple investing $500 billion. And he says, maybe I wasn't supposed to say this or do this. We got Amy in the house to tell us a little bit about Ashley St. Clair. Maybe a different perspective. Also a little bit about who are those guys, the two movie stars, Ryan.

Brandon
Yeah, curmudgeon.
Patrick Bet-David
What the hell is this?
Vinny
Like an old, just scorned, wrinkled up old man.
Patrick Bet-David
He ain't lying.
Vinny
They don't have the word curmudgeon.
Patrick Bet-David
You need the new technology to go like this.
Vinny
What is this?

Dem. Wisconsin governor introduces bill replacing the word mother with inseminated person. Thank God that is an actual story.
Vinny

Patrick Bet-David
Wow. Okay. Representative Ilhan Omar. The dumbing of the American people has arrived. How else do you get Trump again? By the way, she literally called you half of Americans stupid. Straight up, no like no filters. And Mehdi sitting there, you know, hearing her say that. Another story here. Iran tests Trump as regime general, says it'll wipe Israel off the map. Houthis fired surface to air missiles at US fighter jets in a first attack of its kind. There was an AI robot that attacked the participant at a Chinese festival, which I think.

Even after Yankees stunning facial hair reversal, he is still staying clean.
Vinny
Staying clean. You mean facial hair clean or steroids clean?
Patrick Bet-David
No, no, no. Facial hair clean.
Vinny
You never know.
Patrick Bet-David
And then we got more Americans identify as LGBT than ever before. And we got a couple of the. Lester Holt steps down. Diddy faces fresh crisis as his lawyer steps down. There's a bunch of other stories that we may get into. Jason Scoop steps up to Alec Baldwin. It's pretty funny. We have to show that. It's just so funny. This guy's just a funny guy. Tucker and Crenshaw's got a fight going on. But let me start off with a couple things. Tom is not feeling well. He's watching this right now. He is not feeling well at all. He's. This is not a guy that calls in sick or anything like that. Talked to his wife Kim yesterday. So for those of you who absolutely love Tom, you know what I want you to do? I want you to force him to talk, okay? By manecting him and giving him the best, wishing him the best. You know, he checks all the manects out there as well. Rob, if you can put up a Tom's manect QR code, go to Tom's manect right there. I want to say, where's he ranked right now for the month? Is he fifth place or sixth place? I don't know where he's at.
Vinny
Neck and neck.
Patrick Bet-David
He is fourth place right behind Adam. He's at 513. Vinny's at 481. Adam's at 535, and he's 619. Why don't you bump Tom up above Adam nice by wishing him, give him some love, and maybe send a couple minutes giving some hate to Adam. He'll take. Trust me, he doesn't mind.
Vinny
I'm actually gonna connect, Tom, because I don't have it.
Patrick Bet-David
There you go. You should. All right, having said that, I do want to share something with you guys as an opening monologue before we get into the podcast here today. This morning, I'm reading an article from 2017 Kellogg. Okay. Kellogg school. Kellogg is known as one of the best marketing schools out there. Rob, if you can go to the story here. If you can just go to the story, click on the link below.
Vinny
Watch Northwest.
Patrick Bet-David
It's a very, very, very respectful school. Sitting near a high performer can make you better at your job. It's called a spillover from certain co workers can boost our productivity or jeopardize our employment. What are they saying? Go a little bit lower to read this a little closer. The people we sit near at work inevitably impact our day. They may brighten our mood or drive us crazy. So for me, like, I have a problem here, right? 25. What's more, our Work neighbors can actually change how we do at our jobs. Researchers looked at the 25 foot radius around high performers at a large technology firm and found that these workers boosted performers in coworkers by 15%. That spillover, positive spillover translated into an estimated $1 million in additional annual profits, according to new research from Dylan Miner, an assistant professor at Managerial economics and Decision sciences at Kellogg. Now watch this here. How this continues. So 25ft radius, 15% positive. Okay, watch the opposite. The flip side is that bad eggs impact their neighbors too. Negative spillovers from so called toxic co workers is even more pronounced, sometimes having twice the magnitude of impact on profits as positive spillover. Yet while this toxic spillover happens very quickly, it also dissipates almost immediately once that worker is either fired or relegated to the far physical reaches of the company. You can stop with the story here. What is this story about? If you think about a lady this morning, Crystal who her and I manect a lot. She manectomy today to speak to her son. 13 year old son. I've met him before so I sent him a message this morning on the drive here talking to him about what it is to be 13 years old. Yeah, I've been talking to my boys right now about a book I'm reading called Aggressive Girls and Clueless Boys. Every father with boys has to read this book because nowadays girls are approaching guys about sex and flirting versus it used to be the other one we had to. Today girls are the ones that are more aggressive. If you have a son, do whatever you can. Don't look at the ratings, just go read this book. It's 80 pages. You must read this book. Every parent. It's very necessary for you to read this book. 136 pages. So I'm talking to this kid about one of the most basic things you can do in life at early ages to win is choose your friends wisely. Later on in your career. One of the best things you can do in your life is choose your bosses, the company you work with and your co workers wisely. You do, you'll grow, you'll do better. You don't. You hate the company, you'll hate your boss, you'll be angry at everybody. You'll be walking on exercise like oh my God, I can't believe this. And you're thinking it's you, it's somebody else. Now don't get me wrong, some people in life are crap magnets. There are people that purely are crap madness. They cannot help themselves but constantly attract negativity and problems in your life, you got to do whatever you can to avoid those folks. But if you can simply decide to attract better people in your life, your life can improve in every possible way. Many years ago, I wanted to learn how to be a better networker. There was a guy I would work a room with and I would watch this guy. I'm like, oh my God, this guy's a great networker. I'd never seen a networker like this before. This guy was a former hairstylist for Diana Ross and Michael Jackson. And he would go into a room and it was like, boom. He went from this guy to that guy to this guy to this guy to that guy. And then all of a sudden, we're in the office of the CEO's room. I'm like, how the hell did this guy do it? Couldn't believe how the guy would network. What's the moral of the story? Networking has changed. There's been an evolution to networking, but for us, I took many of those things I learned many years ago and I applied it in business in raising money and getting in rooms and getting guests on the podcast and recruiting folks who became presidents of the company, CTOs, technology investors, raising money. But the ability to network is so critical today because there's an element of networking that's also networking and finding your peer group, your friends. There's eight mistakes people make when it comes down to networking. Next Tuesday at 3:00pm Tuesday, March 4th at 3:00pm, I'm going to give you a PDF of the eight mistakes people make on networking on this webinar that I'm hosting. You can go to vtwebinar.com to register again. Vtwebinar.com to register. You're going to get those eight mistakes, trust me. You want to know what these eight mistakes are? Because it's dos and don'ts that we'll cover on that podcast and that on that zoom. It's a one hour Zoom, free for everybody. And I'll share the evolution of networking tools. And also on that webinar, I'm going to give you three updates. Massive, massive new features on Manek that I'm so excited about and an opportunity for some of you guys to come and join us at Kentucky Derby. So go to vtwebinar, register for it and I look forward to seeing you there. Next Tuesday the 4th at 3:00pm Eastern Standard Time. Registered. We'll see you there. All right, having said that, let's get right into it stories with what's going on. So California Newsom sends Congress, $40 billion request for LA fire aid. Okay, so hey, Congress, we need $40 billion. Congress then comes and gets the money from who? Taxpayers? So that means you're really fixing the problem of his lack of leadership. They're coming to collect money. So Newsom requested $40 billion in federal aid, describing it as the most expensive disaster in US history after hurricane force winds destroyed over 16,000 structures in Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Addressing congressional leaders, including Speaker Mike Johnson, Democratic Leader Kim Jeffries. Make no mistakes, LA will use this money wisely. Do you believe that? Who believes that? Let me read that one more time, how he opens it up. Make no mistake. Los Angeles will use this money wisely. Who is the head of Los Angeles? Who is the head of the state? We have to trust that he's going to use the money wisely. Of course, he used the $24 billion to fix homelessness in California very wisely. We know where that went. And he eliminated all of it. Right? I mean, homelessness didn't just double or triple assist individuals, businesses and property owners. He stressed California's economic importance, calling it the tent pole of the American economy and stating California success is America's success. The request faces Republican opposition, with Donald Trump and allies pushing for conditions on the aid as part of a broader Washington debate. Newsom, who previously traveled to Washington to appeal directly to Trump, acknowledged the administration's past support, writing, Trump and his administration have demonstrated a strong commitment to L. A s recovery, etc. Etc. And meanwhile, two other stories I'll add to this. I'm not going to read it. LA Chief Fire department fired and on top of that, more than a quarter of LA Palisades borrowers are at risk of delinquency. Brandon, what are your thoughts on this story?
Brandon
Yeah, so I do not think for one second that we should give them any money, especially not giving it to them to handle themselves. Between the homelessness and then the high speed railway was supposed to cost 33 billion at the beginning. It's like in phase one still and it's already up to 120 something billion and they barely even clean.
Patrick Bet-David
You're saying don't even give any money. Even if there's somebody that, if they're.
Brandon
Hand, if they're handling it, don't give it to them. Like I think the federal government should be managing the way that they spend it and like have maybe a project manager that's working for the federal government.
Patrick Bet-David
Who would you trust on Trump's team to manage it? Beginning to end that Newsom has to.
Brandon
Report to anybody that did any of his projects because, you know, he, like, he's like a professional at that, at making sure things get done on time in a cheap way. But California is like the equivalent of Ukraine. It's like a black hole for money. Any money that we've ever sent to California just disappeared. The thing that's, the thing that was supposed to fix has gotten worse after we gave them the money. So. And in addition to that, like, it's a place that's being held captive right now by a super majority. So Trump originally said that he was in give it to them if they did some simple things like requiring voting id. So I would like him to see him do that too, because he has some leverage here.
Patrick Bet-David
So this is a good chance for Trump to use that to get things changed in the state of California?
Brandon
Yeah, absolutely.
Patrick Bet-David
How far you think he can go? You think he can go as far as trying to get the state to flip? And if. Yes, how would he cause the state to flip? What could Trump do to cause the state to flip?
Brandon
I think if you just required voting id, something simple like that, the state might be a red state. Like, we have no idea what the actual voting demographics of California are because of the way they do things like.
Patrick Bet-David
That is such a good point.
Brandon
It's the most chaotic voting place I've ever seen. Plus the super majority.
Patrick Bet-David
So, so let's, let's negotiate that. So you're Trump, I'm newsome, I come to you. Hey, we need $40 billion. What do you think?
Brandon
Okay, you need voting ID requirements.
Patrick Bet-David
I'm not going to do it. You can't make me do that. These people need help.
Brandon
We're not going to. We can't do anything.
Patrick Bet-David
So you're going to let these people go without help? These people are suffering.
Brandon
You're letting them do. I'm just asking.
Patrick Bet-David
But I don't have $40 billion. I need your $40 billion.
Brandon
You have the ability to require voting IDs.
Patrick Bet-David
These are two different issues. We can talk about that on a different setting. But these people need the help right now.
Brandon
The position of the federal government is that if you do not require voting IDs, we will not give you 40 billion.
Patrick Bet-David
What do you think is the likelihood that that happens? What do you think is the likelihood that happens, Amy?
Amy
I don't think it's very likely that that would occur. I think it should. I think that this is an incredible opportunity to create incentive for California to really wr the wrongs that they've had. If Trump can leverage it to that end, that would be amazing. However, I think the Democrats are going to hold on to anything they can to be able to maintain the advantage that has probably won them the previous election. And is the only reason in any sense of the world it was remotely close or at least portrayed close in media is because of the mass overrepresentation of illegals that they were probably bringing in to keep Democrats in power.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, Vinnie, I don't give him. Listen, it's at the point where we have to just. And I'm with Brandon, we have to say absolutely not. And he can cry and he could do whatever he wants because this is exactly him doing the no voter ID is basically saying, we don't give a damn who's here. We just want to keep our power. And you know who's now making her rounds that showed up yesterday in Palisades and she's doing her word salad speech? Kamala Harris. Guys, because if he's going to leave.
Patrick Bet-David
Tony Robbins, if you got the.
Adam Sosnick
Because if you think about it, guys, he's, he's probably going to be out really, really soon because people are fed up with him. And guess who's going to come in. Kamala Harris. So that's going to land on the voters, the people of California. It's up to them. Because if they don't do it, I told Brandon yesterday, I'm done with you, Pat. I'm done with you guys. If you keep voting for this and then afterwards disaster strikes and you guys keep crying.
Patrick Bet-David
So you guys are zero money until there's accountability.
Adam Sosnick
Because what you're by you saying this Governor Newsom, new scum. Okay, we've got role play. You, you, you on your own. You're saying no voter ID, meaning two people that went to go vote that.
Patrick Bet-David
I know, Mr. President, you're combining two separate issues.
Adam Sosnick
No, but what I'm saying is the, the bigger problem, what you're doing is literally, literally telling people illegals to come, which in turn makes people hold on.
Patrick Bet-David
These people are suffering. These people don't have a place. These people need help. These people need money to fix these things.
Adam Sosnick
What about the, what about the people that are suffering with fentanyl? 250. 50,000 people dedicated.
Patrick Bet-David
Two separate issues. I think trying to address this issue. Now, you are taking your time. They're suffering. The people of California need your help, Mr. President.
Adam Sosnick
Guess what? The people of California will be on my side knowing you think you voter.
Patrick Bet-David
I do think so, 1000%. So let me tell you that this is very important point you're making. The backbone of. Backbone of California voters. Because, folks, just so you know, the moves they're making is for him to get out and for her to get in. Rob, play the clip here. Watch this clip here. Tell me if you want this person as your governor. Go back and see if this is a fire. This is fires. She's over there now. See if you want this person as your governor. Go ahead, Rob. Goes through your mind when you see this. You're here. You're now seeing it up close. It's not only seeing it, Alex. You can smell it. You can feel it, right? So it's seeing it with our eyes, and many people have seen it.
Amy
You all are covering it.
Patrick Bet-David
Literally. Be on the ground here. You can smell the.
Amy
The.
Patrick Bet-David
The. The smoke that was here. You can feel the. The toxicity, frankly, of the environment. You can feel the energy of all of the folks who are still here on the ground.
Adam Sosnick
Goes through your mind. She's been. She's been on vacation, probably drinking, probably. And they're like, hey, Kamala, it's time. And she's like, I'm just going to do this. And that's the future. And if you guys vote for her, that's where it comes back. I have zero remorse.
Patrick Bet-David
You were in California yesterday.
Adam Sosnick
I was in California. You should see. Yes, I was in California.
Patrick Bet-David
Tarlock with a bunch of Assyrians.
Adam Sosnick
Assyrians.
Patrick Bet-David
Any beautiful girls, Future wives, possibly.
Adam Sosnick
Hold on. Two things I have to tell me.
Patrick Bet-David
The quality of the girls, the ladies. Assyrian guys, I'm looking for somebody for Vinny.
Adam Sosnick
Hold on.
Patrick Bet-David
The show, zero to ten.
Adam Sosnick
Amazing. The eights and nines.
Patrick Bet-David
Really?
Adam Sosnick
Oh, but you want to laugh. My mom is literally a pimp. She's like. The receptionist is a Syrian. She's like, my plea.
Patrick Bet-David
He.
Adam Sosnick
I want a kid before I die. So I'm like, mom, this is like you're being a pimp live. The show was amazing. Shout out to everybody for Sweeney and Sherille. But the. The quality of California, the homeless that I would.
Patrick Bet-David
What were they saying politically about California? Where are they at? Like, some of the guys that maybe support a news.
Adam Sosnick
Great point. I'm in the. I'm in the lobby and I'm with my whole family. There's like 10 of us. And all of a sudden a whole table is like, oh, pbd. A Latino group with kids. You know, they were there for like their kids baseball tournament. And he goes. He goes, man, he goes, if you don't like what you guys are saying about this, effing newsome. He's like, we live by that railway. That's his family, Hispanic family on him and saying we need we. They don't give us any other options to vote. So if, if. And that's why I respect them. But for anybody else that keeps voting for them because you have to be true to your party and I have zero remorse because you're voting for it, you want it, that's what you get. Adam, she's coming.
Vinny
So California is going to get whatever they deserve in. In essence, what you have to do is ask if you're going to ask if you're going to send them this money, what percentage was it a natural disaster versus what percentage was it just complete government incompetence? I'm never going to be the zero or 100 guy, zero money ever again. 100% or yes. Just keep throwing money at Ukraine, keep throwing money at California. I'm never going to be in that camp. Isolationist extremists, it doesn't work for me. But there does need to be accountability and we get to figure out what percentage was just complete government incompetence. I don't know how you can figure out that number. I'm sure you can get Doge on the scene. What I do know is this, you're talking about people in California, whether they're going to vote Republican or not. We remember what happened in the recall with Gavin Newsom would have been in 2021, 2022, whatever year that was. They thought Larry Elder was going to beat him. Blowout. Okay, this is going to shock you a little bit, but I actually have a couple liberal friends in California and I'm on a group text message with all these guys, and one of them is. He's a. He's a known guy. He's in the Hollywood world.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Vinny
And I'm like, listen, guys, what the hell's.
Patrick Bet-David
Keep going, Pat.
Vinny
You're going to interrupt me where your friends are from.
Patrick Bet-David
Keep going.
Vinny
What's your point? The point is I'm basically saying, dude, how. What's going on there? What percentages was just incompetence. Dei just completely unqualified for your job. He's like, how dare you even ask that right now? How dare you even assume that I go. I mean, it's. Your city's on fire.
Adam Sosnick
You lost.
Vinny
You literally lost your home. You don't have any additional questions. Just want to ride with the government. Yeah, he's. I said we're going back and forth. They're going back and forth. I go Let me ask you just one question. When's the last time that you voted for any non Democrat, Republican, independent? He's like, why would. Why do you want to know that simple question? It's like, why? What does it matter? Just answer the question and then. Ready? I would never vote for a Republican in my life. I swear to God. They're the worst. Can't believe I go. Exactly.
Adam Sosnick
Don't feel bad for you.
Vinny
So whatever you got.

Patrick Bet-David
You got Rob, who is this? Is it the chief getting fired?
Vinny
This is Karen Bass. Yes, the governor. I'm sorry, the mayor of Los Angeles talking about how the buck stops with her at the firing of Kristen Crowley, the LA fire chief, but just a week earlier. She then also blames Kristen Crowley.
Patrick Bet-David
It's a good. Yes. As the mayor, as the mayor of the city, the buck stops with me. I am in charge. However, the person in charge of the fire department, as I mentioned before, whenever there was a fire emergency, a weather emergency or a hint of a problem, I am contacted directly and not just by Chief Crowley, but by any of the heads of the departments. As you know, we have over 40 departments. When I talked about it with the fire chief, what she said is, is that we have warnings of Santa Ana winds a lot, but predicting this, and you saw we from the city, from the county, that level of preparation really didn't happen. So it didn't reach that level to me to say something terrible could happen and maybe you shouldn't have gone on the trip.
Vinny
Why?
Patrick Bet-David
What does this mean, Rob? So one minute the buck stops with me. Second minute she's blaming her and you can't accept responsibility.
Vinny
And then as you're accepting responsibility, say the buck stops with me. However, you're immediately then directing blame back to the other person.
Adam Sosnick
Right?
Patrick Bet-David
She fired her.
Vinny
She did.
Brandon
But remember though, this happened like weeks ago. Remember it was a couple days after the fire happened and the chief spoke out against the mayor saying like, hey, what are we supposed to do if the water's not in the hydrants. Then, like minutes after that article, articles came out that she got fired. And then they kind of pulled back on a little bit. So this decision seems like it was made weeks ago.
Patrick Bet-David
Well, I want to show you this here, Rob, if you don't mind. If you can do me a favor. So, and these two kind of go hand in hand. You'll see why. So we're at an event in D.C. we're at CPAC. Afterwards, we go to a Doge party at this beautiful penthouse. What was it, five story penthouse of Dwight Howard. That the new guy, a bitcoin guy. I don't want to say his name. He bought so beautiful property. You're going there. We're at the top. And by the way, Tico got in at 13 years old.
Brandon
He got in.
Patrick Bet-David
So he's kind of like hanging out. He goes, mustache, let him in. He's tall and he's got big hands, big feet. So they're kind of like. This guy must be at least 18 years old. So they let him in. Yeah. We go into this place. We're walking up. Him and Tom are at the. At the top on a rooftop. Shout out to Tom, Tom. They're chanting, keep fascist. Fascist out of D.C. and then you got Tom and. And Tico from the top, they're chanting.
Amy
What are they chanting?
Patrick Bet-David
So anyways, I'm coming up. I'm like, Tom's either being a bad influence on Tico, something's going on. So we're like, okay, guys, we got to go get the plane because we got back at 1:30 in the morning. So we get. We get down. While we walk down, I want to walk up to these guys to see what they're all about. Rob, is this. Is this the tweet or is this my video? Which. Which one is this? This is your video?
Vinny
Yes, one of. Yes, my video.
Patrick Bet-David
The other video. Rob, I. Okay, so play this and then go to the other one. I see what you're doing. Go for it. So this is. I just walk up to this guy to say, what are you upset about? That's me, that's Brandon.
Vinny
There's our service agent.
Patrick Bet-David
So cops come in and he can't answer me anything while I'm asking him questions, okay? And then, boom, he spits on a federal agent's back. Boom. Right there on the back. Okay, go to the other clip. Obviously, he gets arrested. If you go to the Twitter one, there's a different clip. He gets arrested, and he gets arrested afterwards. Guys are manecting me and texting me and saying, hey, Pat, you should file this. You should go sue this guy. You should do that. You should do this. And by the way, this is a different angle. Go a little bit lower. Mario Nefal, put the clip. Go a little bit lower. A little bit lower. A little bit lower. A little bit lower. Right there.
Adam Sosnick
Okay, so that's Freedom. Whatever. The new. Oh, just the tweet.
Patrick Bet-David
Zoom in. Zoom in on Mario's clip. Rob, if you could. Yeah, go. So zoom out a little. What'd you say?
Adam Sosnick
Freedom News.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, got it, got it. Okay, sounds good. So anyways, so the question becomes, what are they complaining about? Are they complaining about Doge doing what? Firing people that are government employees who are maybe not working. One guy came up to me with a mask screaming, like, angry. Just going like this. And then you realize, these are paid adjutants.
Adam Sosnick
Thank you.
Patrick Bet-David
These are not people that are protesting, by the way. Rob, do me a favor. Play the clip that's in the notes section that I have of Bill Clinton. You tell me who this person sounds like this is. Bill Clinton. Okay, I want to say this is 93. Okay. Look what he's talking about. This is maybe the OG Doge and the Democrats applauded him for doing this. Go ahead, Rob, play this clip. We cut the federal government by more than 100,000 positions. Oh, really? Okay. We're on the way to reducing it with laws already passed by 272,000 positions. Oh, really? Making us the smallest it's been in more than 30 years. Oh, wow. So you're firing people. We cut taxes for 15 million working families with 40 million Americans in it, about an average of $1,000 apiece for families of four with incomes under $26,000. That's good. Good. We made nine of 10 of our small businesses eligible for tax reductions. Respect. We invested in the tools our people need in education and training and technology. We did more to open markets in the last two years than in any previous period in a generation. Okay. The results are clear. Those, those, those. The deficit that two years ago was projected to be over 400 billion a year by the end of the decade is now under 200 billion. It's going down for three years in a row for the first time since Truman was president. Respect. The economic plan we have already passed will cut the deficit in half. As a percentage of our economy, we have almost 6 million new jobs. The biggest year in economic growth in 1994. In a decade, with 93% of those jobs in the private sector, that's the largest percentage private Sector sound like to you going, who's he sound like to.
Brandon
You when you're listening to, like, Trump?
Vinny
Like a, like a jfk, like someone who has common sense he should sue.
Adam Sosnick
Them for, like, copyright. Like he's stealing. They stole his.
Patrick Bet-David
This whole, you know, but by the way, they, they loved him then, right? And his speaker of the House was who, Newt Gingrich, which was a Man of the year on the COVID of Time magazine. But I want you to watch this other clip. I want to play this to see where the controversy is. Here's Barack Obama in 2008. Play this. Tell me who this sounds like. Go ahead. The Bush administration has done nothing to control the problem that we have. We've had 5 million undocumented workers come over the border since George Bush.
Adam Sosnick
Racist.
Patrick Bet-David
It has become an extraordinary problem. Yeah. And the reason the American people are concerned is because they are seeing their own economic position slip away. And oftentimes, employers are exploiting these undocumented workers. They're not paying the minimum wage. They're not observing worker safety laws. And so what we have to do is create a comprehensive solution to the problem. Now, I have already stated that as president, it's interesting. You hear him, you hear Clinton, you hear them saying that, and that's what Doge, Trump, Musk, Homan are doing. What are you upset about, Brandon?
Brandon
Yeah, no, it's interesting, too. I mean, you see clips of Hillary. She literally sounds more conservative than Trump, like someone. She's debating Obama with this and all that. So this is an example of how far left the left has moved, where people who say they used to be in the middle, they ended up on the right now because, you know, things shifted to that degree. And I, I think they're importing these people like this because they see that playing out. And, you know, interesting thing about Clinton during his presidency is the only year in the last 70 years we had a surplus. I sent Rob a chart where there's this little blip on it. Every single year we're in a deficit. That one time when Clinton was president, it's the only time we had a surplus ever since, I think, like 1960, 1950. So, I mean, I don't see a single positive thing or a single negative thing you criticize about Doge.
Adam Sosnick
That's the, that's the chart, Brandon.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Brandon
Yeah. So look at that. That's what Clint was talking about.
Vinny
Look at that chart.
Patrick Bet-David
Look at that beautiful chart, by the way. Rob, can you, can you circle around what era he's talking about?
Vinny
Yeah, look at that. Yeah. Only time Bill Clinton was the only president to balance the budget. We have no deficit under Clinton.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, because he was hooking up with somebody other than Hillary in the White House.
Vinny
Buddy, if you want to save trillions of dollars, I don't care who he hooks up. So it's an easy joke. That's the whole thing with Clinton. Everyone thinks of Clinton as. He's sort of like a laugh line. Oh, Clinton, he likes, you know, things over the desk in, in the Oval Office. Listen, buddy, the James Carver who we're talking about, one time he says, you know, what didn't you like about the 90s under Clinton? Did you not like the peace or the prosperity? Which one? Every country wants the same thing. Peace and prosperity. We were doing great under Clinton. We've come a long way since Clinton. Now, as far as this whole situation with the, with CPAC and Dojim like that, it was actually an awesome time. Thank you for the opportunity, Pat. It was sick. I'm here. I'm holding the schedule of events. So Javier Malay speaks, some guy named Patrick. Bet David gets up and speaks, you know, crushes it. Secretary Doug. Doug, Doug. Want to give my best friend hugged Doug Burgum. Then Tom Holman comes out there. Freaking rock stars.
Brandon
That one was awesome.
Vinny
Could have been drunk. Don't care. Let's get stuff done. Georgia Maloney, she comes in for me. Elise Stefanik gets out there. She's crushing it. She's kind of. Kind of good looking, by the way. Anyway, then Donald Trump came out there and did a 90 minute. I don't know, I would call it stand up comedy act. You're stupid, you're gay, you're great. Everyone's awesome. We had an awesome time. And then we end up going to this Doge party. And it's so funny. Like, you know, I'm all about juxtaposition. Like one thing's one thing. We walk in and young Tico, God bless Tico, he's turned into such a student. I didn't know about him when he was younger. He's getting, he's getting there. We walk in, he goes, he goes, I just want to go to someplace quiet. I don't want to be here for the, you know, if Dylan was there, he's like, where we're the party at, you know that. So Tika walks in. I just want to go someplace quiet. And we're looking for a little place to go out. I'm like, I take him to like a little room. He's by himself. I'M like, he's like, I don't want to hear by myself. I'm like, you're at a party, dude. So we get in there, five minutes later, there's protesters on the, he's up there, he's doing the Trump dance. But these guys, they don't have anything going. Like, they have no semblance. So it's like the guy who got arrested is like, what are you in for, buddy? Spitting. Yeah, I spit a little bit on this podcast, guy. They don't know what they're yelling about. They have no clue what they're talking about. And it's just, they're, they're just raw emotion. Piss and vinegar. They have zero facts. Everyone should want to save money. Everyone would try to limit liabilities. Everyone should want to limit our expenditures, but they just hate Elon and they hate Trump.
Patrick Bet-David
Do they Even.
Vinny
So whatever he does, Trump derangement syndrome. Did you see what Elon said about when he's sitting at a dinner party and Trump comes up? Because people just, it's like, it's almost get, they get like tranquilizer dart in your neck, bro, and they start convulsing and get rabies. These people hate Trump so much, they'd rather the government suffer rather than have him succeed.
Adam Sosnick
But, but, but here's the thing, too, guys. I, I, I tried to put myself in, Put yourself in their shoes, meaning the federal employees. And then the, the leadership, okay? The employees. Can you imagine? You're getting paid $100,000 a year, and you don't do, you don't do nothing. Then all of a sudden, a real boss comes in. He appoints Elon Musk, who is numbers guy, hires guys named Big Balls that are just in there looking for that shit. And you're about to lose your job. Of course you're going to get furious. Of course you're going to get mad. And then the leadership, the, you know, Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders upper lip doesn't move. And all those guys, bro, they get all the kickbacks, all the money. So when you start taking the money, it's like in the movie Casino when you start messing with the mafia's money and their take what, he goes, you mean they're skimming off the top? What do you mean, go there? And they kill everybody. They're furious that the money.
Vinny
Joe Pesi head in a movie, we're winning.
Adam Sosnick
And guys, and I said this before, it's going to hurt. This winning is going to freaking hurt. But who gives a. We have to have it.
Amy
The paid the paid Ajit Tater's take is really interesting and you know, I wouldn't have considered it, but it actually does make a lot of sense because we've come so far since the Woke mind virus was cranked up to the most absurd extent possible. Where course correcting on a lot of things, the fact that people are still upset about some things that should be just be so blatantly obvious. It could only make sense if there were funding behind the scenes or paid agitators to keep everybody inflamed. Because at this point it just doesn't make sense why people would be so pissed off about this stuff. Especially the thing about report on what you're doing for your job. That's something that every single industry should incorporate into their business structure to some extent. I know that something that I need to do every single week, I need to report on what I do. If government workers who are making, as Vinnie said, potentially six figure incomes or have other interests that are paying them can't even outline like five things that they that they could do. Yeah, no, kick them out. Kick them all out.
Patrick Bet-David
Well watch this here. While we're going through this, these guys are saying send us an email of what you did last week. We want to know. Right? Send us an email. So Elon Musk says bar is very low after ordering federal employees to fill out productivity reports or resign. Basic question he's asking, right? Musk says federal workers must detail that what they've done or risk lose their jobs. As a Wall Street Journal story overseeing the Department of Doge under Trump announced that all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week and warned that failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. The Office of Personal Management OPM confirmed employees must submit five bullets of what you accomplished last week by Monday night. Though some agencies, including the FBI under Director Cash Patel, have instructed employees to pause any responses while reviewing the directive, the order has triggered confusion and legal scrutiny across federal agencies with officials at Department of Justice and Health and Human Services employees not to respond. Sean Kevney, acting General House at HHS, called the demand personally insulting. After working over 70 hours advancing administration priorities, Everett Kelly, President, American Federal Government Employees, warned that the union will challenge any lawful terminations of our members and federal employees across the country. Rob, do you have a clip on this? Because it shows yellow as if there's a clip on. I do.
Vinny
I have a clip from Elon Musk. This is back in January where he talks about the actual shrinking the size of the government and how that's going to benefit the economy.
Patrick Bet-David
So then what I'm going to go to is I'm going to go to the other story, and then I want you to play the clip. The new Small Business Administration goes viral after she tours empty cubes. If you have this. So this is the SBA chief. Kelly Loeffler posted a video from her second day on the job touring empty offices and stating about 90% of our employees are working from home. Well, that ends Monday with President Trump's order to return to work. Watch this clip here. Go for it. Hi, everyone.
Amy
Kelly Loeffler.
Patrick Bet-David
It's my second day here at the sba. I could not be more excited to be here, so I thought I'd take a walk. And what I found is that exactly what's been said is true. About 90% of our employees are working from home. Well, that ends Monday with President Trump's order to return to work. It's a tremendous waste of taxpayer dollars to be paying for people and offices that are not showing up for work. So what we're going to do Monday morning, be back in the office. Just like our small businesses that we serve every single day that work for us seven days a week, we're going to be here working for them.
Vinny
So, and, and question, why are they not working from the office?
Amy
Still from time.
Adam Sosnick
There's another Corona still from monkey pox. What's going on here?
Vinny
This is absurd. It's absolutely absurd.
Adam Sosnick
So taking advantage of the system, that's exactly what the hell they're doing. And it's the time. That time is over, bro. How, by the way, she made a great point. The building, the lease, the rent, the air conditioning, the light. Like the what? Come to work, you lazy. And by the way, those people that are, are mad that. Wait, I gotta make a list of what I. What I do a week. Yeah, that was a test. Now we know exactly. It's you. You're the ones that aren't doing. The ones that are doing their job. Quick.
Patrick Bet-David
If you.
Adam Sosnick
If he. Pat, right now, you said, vinnie, give me a list of what you're doing a day. Okay. Short writing sketch podcast. If I. If I went like this, Pat. What do you mean? You don't trust me? You don't. That's the guy that you have to worry about because you know he ain't doing. So that's the guy. That's what he's doing.
Patrick Bet-David
So one of the guys ran up to me. Do you remember the guy with the mask on? And the glasses, of course, you guys recorded him. I don't know who record. Somebody got his clip. He says, you know, I just lost my government job. I'm trying to talk to these guys.
Brandon
Right?
Patrick Bet-David
You cannot talk, they're. You can't. But, but the reality of it is you got 2 million employees of which only 6% work at the office. What company is going to be okay with that? By the way, there's another report that came in that they're going to Pentagon. Right. I saw a number here, Rob. I don't know what page it's on. It's one of the stories here.
Vinny
It's right below that. The Pentagon expects to fire up to 8% of its civilian workforce.
Patrick Bet-David
8%, by the way, of course. What are you going to do? So go back to that story, Rob, that you had. So Pentagon expects to fire up to 8% of its civilian workforce. 5,400 probation employees face dismissal starting next week. Hexa champions Trump's campaign to slash federal workers ranks. Of course. What do you mean you're not coming to work? Since when has this been okay?
Vinny
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
And now you expect for people to sit around and say, this is fine, go ahead, Brandon.
Brandon
Well, yeah, so there's two lays. The two laziest workers in the, in the country, I think, are union workers and government workers. And then now you have union workers and government workers combined. Like so the, out of all the states in the country, the two biggest populations of federal workers per capita, Maryland, Virginia, what do they have in common? Like the biggest wealth gap in the entire country is in Washington, dc. So you have the most crime, the highest poverty rate, but also the highest income per capita amongst the top people. So this is an example of the market not deciding the value of people. This is the federal government deciding the value of people. So there's pouring money into these jobs. It's not the market choosing these things, it's the government choosing them. So that's a byproduct of that. It's a totally unnatural thing. DC's running differently than any other place in the country. It's a disaster.
Patrick Bet-David
Amy?
Amy
Yeah, I think it's absolutely insane for any industry to practice, to practice this as a normalized standard. I mean, don't get me wrong, there are other. There are online opportunities out there where you can make money without a salary, without somebody paying you week by week, and you can make money based off your own efforts. If people want to complain about having to show up to do work in their workspace, then maybe find one of those Online opportunities where you can get paid based on the value that you're bringing to the marketplace, then maybe you'll have flyer lit under your ass to actually go to work. But being someone who this is actually, you may not know this part. This is my first job that I've ever had where I actually need to show up and be somewhere. I've been involved in various different sales opportunities, various different investing things. And one thing that I can say is, you know, I've always been a high achiever, but when I looked at my peers, it was insane. The amount of burnout rate and turnover rate. People just wouldn't make it because they couldn't show up and put in the work. The fact of the matter is, for most people, they need somebody. They need some accountability in order to show up and in order to get their job done. And especially when it comes to one of the biggest. The biggest industries agencies in the entire company, the federal government, like, yes, we want some oversight. We want to know that these people are showing up, serving the people and getting their job done.
Patrick Bet-David
By the way, good for you. And by the way, watch this here, folks. This credit to this chart goes by Tom. Okay, if he's watching this, which I'm sure he's watching this, what's up, Tom? Hi, Tommy. So this is a search in D.C. on what terms? Just in D.C. that have increased since January 29th. Look at that. Defense lawyer skyrocketed. Why? Why? So watch some of the data that Tom's showing. This is one. The other one is the number of homes that are for sale in D.C. that's a complete different chart. Ever since they realized these guys are coming and people are getting fired, the number of homes for sale in D.C. has skyrocketed. The decision makers are here. Folks in D.C. are making decisions, realizing they may be losing their jobs. They may have to go to a different place. And the numbers are reflecting that. Adam.
Vinny
Yeah, I mean, we're acting like this is some sort of monumental, colossal request to report what you've done. You know who does this? I do this every single week with my assistant. So, you know the company that I run welcome funds. Alex. Every week, Mondays and Fridays, I say, what are you doing this week? She knows. Every Monday, have report what's on your agenda this week, and then on Friday, we go over the list and see what got done. And she does it every week because she's. That's part of her job. Imagine if she's like, well, why do you want to know what I'm doing? Because I'm paying you. Well, what does that matter? Because that's your job. Never once would you request like this. So anyone who pushes back and it's like, what? Why would you want to even know what I'm doing?
Patrick Bet-David
It's common sense.
Vinny
They're guilty of something.
Adam Sosnick
I send them. We don't have to show it, but I send it to rob. 2446 homes went for sale in Washington D.C. on Zillow, on Just when Trump and Dogeco. That's. That's the charge. Everybody. And they're like 800,000, 400,000 million dollar houses. Everybody's like, bye, bye, now we got to go.
Vinny
This might be a good opportunity for you to find your house finally.
Brandon
It's going to crash their economy by.
Patrick Bet-David
Wow.
Brandon
It's going to crash Virginia's economy. By the way. Those are the Beltway Bandits. Like all that NGO DC money that gets pumped into that now that's going to come.
Patrick Bet-David
Make it a free enterprise. Yeah, See if they can make it a free market. Go see if you can make it a free market. You know, it's not, it's not an easy thing to do. If you could pull it off, respect to you. If you don't. We found that maybe you're not really a net positive to society.
Brandon
That's right.
Patrick Bet-David
The market will pay you whatever value you bring if you don't have it. It is so brutally honest. It sucks. That's how bad the market is. It has no sympathy for you. Let's find out who you guys are. Maybe you're better than what DC Was paying you. And we'll filter those guys out. By the way, while this is taking place, the old Dems are afraid of some of the new faces of Dems. Here's Stephen A. Smith and James Carville. James Carville is tired of what Stephen A. Smith has been saying and he flat out calls him out. Play that clip, Rob, if you could, with James Carville and then watch this one here. So Stephen A. Has been very vocal calling out Kamala, calling out everybody, calling out everyone on the left. And James here, he's having a sip of milk or something called beer and. Go ahead, Rob, play the clip.
Vinny
Warm glass. Shut the hell up.
Patrick Bet-David
He don't know his ass. No, go back a little bit. That was.
Vinny
Tell the difference.
Patrick Bet-David
Go ahead. When it comes to politics, he don't know his ass from a hole in the ground. He's on that, running his goddamn mouth about how he may have to run as a Democrat because there's nothing left of the Democratic Party has no talent. Stephen Ayer. You shitting me? I mean, you say you're friends with Wes Moore, and you say you're friends with Josh Shapiro. I'm friends with both of them. I think they're really extraordinary, talented people. I got news for you, dude. That's six or seven other people in the Democratic Party that are just that talented. So before you start running your fucking mouth off about politics, the topic of what you really don't know anything about, you ought to sit back and think about it and call some people and.
Vinny
Run it by them.
Patrick Bet-David
But don't let your political stupidity stand in the way of your outspoken and, I think, often insightful views when it comes to American sports, of which I think you are an expert at. Okay, now go to. Now go to Stephen A. And his response.
Brandon
How condescending.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, let Stephen A. Play. Go forward, Rob. How long is it?
Vinny
I cut out all the fat? This gets right to the point.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, go for it.
Adam Sosnick
Be so rude, you know, dropping F bombs and going all, you know, going off like that. I mean, I know that's your nature. I understand that, but.
Vinny
But.
Adam Sosnick
Let'S just say two can do that, you know? I mean, if you really wanted to get raw, ain't nobody hiding from that.
Patrick Bet-David
I could be that way.
Adam Sosnick
It's just that my mama taught me to respect my elders.
Vinny
And you are 80 years of age.
Adam Sosnick
If I remember correctly. And I'm trying to be respectful. So I'm not going to come at you the way that you came to me. I thought that was completely unnecessary. That's number one.
Patrick Bet-David
Number two.
Adam Sosnick
I religiously say I'm no political aficionado. I religiously say I don't know politics like that. I read. I watch the news. I'm a conscientious observer.
Patrick Bet-David
But I do have to ask you.
Adam Sosnick
A question, Mr. James Carville, albeit rhetorically. You do know that you're talking to a voter, right? Could that be one of the reasons why y'all lost?
Patrick Bet-David
Just a thought.
Adam Sosnick
Because you sound like one of those old curmudgeons that want things to stay the or be the way that they used to be. And you're resentful, harboring an abundance of animosity because you're not being heard. That's not Stephen A. Smith's fault, sir. That's that damn Democratic Party that I was talking about.
Patrick Bet-David
So now, Stephen A. Where are you? How far are you going to go.
Adam Sosnick
With you See, they shouldn't listen to me.
Vinny
Do you realize, James Carville, that that.
Adam Sosnick
Means they shouldn't have listened to you either, which makes no sense because we were both right. Because guess what? What I was saying is what you were. I saw you on Fox News. I saw you on cnn. I saw you on your podcast before the election.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, where the hell you think I.
Vinny
Got some of the stuff from when.
Adam Sosnick
You were talking about the Democratic Party? I'm making that up.
Patrick Bet-David
You can pause it. Right?
Vinny
I'm making.
Patrick Bet-David
All right, so, Stephen A. They don't like you. It's that simple, bro. They don't like you. The same way they don't like rfk, who's down Trump's administration, the same way they didn't like Tulsi, the same way they don't like Rogan, the same way they don't like Musk, the same way they don't like any of us. Because either you get in line or shut the hell up, is what he's saying. I wouldn't say that to you. That's what he's saying. And that's not in your nature. But if you're going to shine in that party, you have to lock it up and listen to what they got to tell you. And it's not in your DNA. It's just not. That's not in your DNA. So what are you going to do? Create a new community that. That's been tried. They don't like your type, so you have a couple choices. One, try to fight it and see what they do. You ain't going to get their money. You're not. You need the money. You're not going to get their money. You don't have that kind of money. You need billions. You need a billion and a half. They're not going to give you the money. None of those guys are going to support you financially. They're not. Because the candidates on the left are usually bought by someone with favors. Yesterday I had Nicolas Fera here from Brazil, and he's talking about how this guy named Kasab, Gilberto Kasap, who was the leader of the Worker Party in Brazil, who used to be the mayor of Sao Paulo, who is the most powerful man in Brazil right now because he is the leader of the political party that's on the center. And the center means they. You give them money and favors, they'll do anything you want them to do. But they have a lot of control right now. They have a lot of control, he says. My worry is the closer he gets to Bolsonaro, he's going to ask for a favor. I wonder how big that favor is and how dirty that favor is, that it, you know, contradicts our values and principles. Are you going to do that? I don't know if you will. So you know what's going to happen to you? You're eventually, when you're in your room, in your house by yourself, nobody else around you, you're eventually going to be talking to your mom because I know how much she means to you and having a conversation saying, what do I do, mom? Do I sit this one out? Do I trust my gut and go, what do I do? If you came as a center right candidate, which I think where you are, you know, you. Are you going to say public, you.
Vinny
Know what I'm saying?
Patrick Bet-David
You're like a center right guy, dude. You know what I'm saying? If he came out as a center right guy, I think it'd be interesting to see you run in 2028 and see what happens. So I think if you run on the left, they will destroy you because they do not like your type. They like Biden type. They like the yes man. You ain't that guy. So what are you gonna do? You're gonna keep playing this. You're working your way into being a conservative here very soon because you're showing a lot of conservative tendencies. You are. But I know the fear of what could happen if you do something like that. Anyways, that's my thoughts on this. James Carville going after. This is kind of like when a young guy. Because Stephen A. Is young in politics and Jim's 80 years old. It's when a young guy comes up in business and I was coming up and I would start getting vocal and all this stuff and I. And never forget when I wrote a. You ever hear me talk about when I wrote my Jerry Maguire 16 page, you know, 16 points, whatever. One of my old friends, I've been trying to look for this proposal that I wrote for 15 years.
Adam Sosnick
Was it me? Remember me? You and Jen were walking and I think you. I told you the story.
Patrick Bet-David
That's right. I told you.
Adam Sosnick
You found it, dude.
Patrick Bet-David
Last week, an old friend, whom name I will keep to myself, but you all know who he is, send me this letter that I wrote to him.
Vinny
That's it.
Patrick Bet-David
Look, this is the letter I sent him March 15th. Right. But he. He added the proposal. This, the entire proposal I wrote. Okay. As a young buck coming up. Yeah. Do you know what happened when I wrote this? And all the points and ideas, Everybody, who do you think you are? And da da da da da ba ba ba BA Some lady named Susan. All these people losing their minds. I said, okay, this is what you want to. I never, I never wanted to leave. I never wanted to leave. Never. I love the company, I love the people. That's the same exact thing. Stephen A. Is going, he eventually is going to be forced to leave that party. They don't know how to control him. They can't stand him. They can't stand people like him. Cannot stand people like Stephen A. People like Stephen A. In the Democratic Party are hated. They're not welcomed, period. Full stop. What are you going to do?
Adam Sosnick
And here's my question. Why would he, for instance, let's say down the road, Stephen A.
Patrick Bet-David
Who?
Adam Sosnick
I admire the guy. I think he's one of the most important and dopest sports analyst. And now that he's shifting politics, it's fantastic. But like, what, what would make you even at this point, like go to the Democratic Party to save it for what? Meaning, Adam, their, their, their core, their base is what, what, what do you, as a Democratic Party, what are you offering? Race baiting, divisive open border, giving money to everybody. There's no, there was no way that he would. If he would and to try to come in and change the party. You nailed it. There's no way that they would do it. And Carville, can you imagine this is the beauty about being Democrat on Democrat hate a whack guy sitting there with a beer drunk shit, stupid cussing, all that. And nobody called him a racist. If that was a Republican sitting there talking to a black man like that, it would have been headlines. Over here it's cool because it's James Carvin, he votes Democrat. But I think Stephen A. There's, if he ran. How about this? He would be a breath of fresh air in any political. I would. People, that's the guy that you would want because you know, his heart is in a good place. You know, his mother raised him right, who said that she would actually vote for Trump if she was here. But that party, bro, that party, I believe my opinion is done for a very long time, especially with what's happening right now.
Amy
They're cooked. Yeah, I think he could really re. Energize the base. That could be incredible. But to Vinnie's point, I definitely don't think that's going to happen. It's reminiscent of like when they're saying, oh, we need a Joe Rogan of the left. It's like you had a Joe Rogan of the left. His name was Joe Rogan and you ruined that you alienated him, just like they're doing to all of these other people. Like, the saying the left eats themselves is so, so apparent right now.
Brandon
It's bizarre that you hear constant reports of them saying, like, internally, like, we're, we're in full blown panic mode. The Democratic Party's a disaster right now. We don't know what to do. We don't know the next move is. And then they're spitting in the face of somebody who's super charismatic, one of the best spoken people in the world, that wants to be on their side, trying to do everything possible be on their side, but then they go out and criticize them like this. Like you said, like, I think that looked racist too. But they don't. They never mentioned that.
Adam Sosnick
Of course.
Brandon
But yeah. So, like, what extent are they willing to go to, like, they're like, how do they expect to fix that if they only are willing to tolerate people who will just do whatever they say? Like, they, they ruined Bernie Sanders and he's going against Hillary Clinton. They like. And I always say if Tulsi or RFK ran against Trump, they definitely would have won. Like, do you guys disagree with that?
Adam Sosnick
You think if, if Tulsi ran as.
Brandon
A Democrat or Farfk ran as a Democrat on the ticket against Trump, I think they, either of them would have beaten Trump.
Adam Sosnick
Hold up. But I think if it started early. Yeah, but before the, the Biden and all that nonsense. If she ran, if Tulsi ran it, she would give him a run for the money because it would have. Trump wouldn't have been able to talk all the crap that he talked about, all of them to her.
Brandon
Look at what Kamala is. And she's like, she almost like.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, I mean, she had. Yeah, she. Well, they put enough money behind her that she could have won. But if they put that money. $1 billion behind Tulsi. Soldier American.
Patrick Bet-David
Let me ask you this, let me ask you this. So who's more loyal to their party values? Are Democrats more loyal to Democrats or Republican?
Adam Sosnick
More Democrats, Democrats or Democrats.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, so why do you say that?
Adam Sosnick
Because no matter what, they are going down with the ship. Because their ideology, blue.
Vinny
No matter.
Adam Sosnick
No matter who. Yeah, great one.
Amy
I mean, when we take a look at what Obama was saying, it seems like the messaging has changed very much. So do you mean like historically or do you mean like right now?
Patrick Bet-David
No, you know, I'm saying today.
Amy
Okay, today.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Adam Sosnick
Democrats, because.
Patrick Bet-David
Sure, because watch this. Okay, so Republicans were known as a party of the war, right? Yeah, it was generally was a party. Guess what Trump's like now, right? We're not doing that. So we think you are Rinos and McCain's and everybody in the Bushes and the Romneys and they hate this guy, right? No, I don't. I think we can be Republican, not be a party of war. Jerry, you know we're going to be at a party of this. No, I think this is how it's going to be. Listen, if we are going to get some money out and we, I think we need to give a refund back to people because we effed up spending their money. So what has happened is Republicans are like, it's actually better idea. Can you prove it? I'm open to it. Democrats are like, no, Stephen A. That may be a better idea but you have to listen to us because we know and you can't break through in that party. You cannot break through in that party. They're not letting that happen. The Republicans had a massive breakthrough because they had a guy with a big backbone that stood up against them. And what he had, he had money, he had fame, he had money, he had street smart. He came up in a city filled with gangsters, tough guys, some criminals, guys in real estate that are. You have to do business with that they're going to try to bully you, put you in your place. And he made it that that develops thick skin. So he, he has additional resources that Stephen A has the platform. He's got it. He talks, people talk about it. He doesn't have the resources, the levels that you need to tell the other side f off. I can do it on my own. He doesn't have that kind of money. Someone has to back him up. Who, who knows? But I think the other side will gladly welcome him. And if he came in, you know what would happen? He would still be able to disagree. Meaning he would still say, I don't know if I agree with the President on this. I don't know if I fool. No problem. But he would still be welcomed. Rogan doesn't agree with everything. Musk doesn't do. These guys don't. Bobby Kennedy definitely doesn't agree with everything with Trump. Tulsi doesn't agree with everything with Trump. But guess what? Come on down. As long as we're here together, we can make this work. We don't have to agree on 100%. The left is. You have to agree with us on 100%. You can't have people like that. No, you cannot have people like Stephen a shine on that side. Adam. And then we'll go to the next story.
Vinny
I don't see Stephen A becoming a Republican. I do see him being an independent. I do think he's shared with us his mother was more conservative. I know you're saying you can see him being center, right? I see him being center. And I think the Democrats need more people like Stephen A to bring them back to the center. Like, if you're a Democrat, you're the Democratic Party right now. You guys need to take a long look in the mirror and be like, who in the hell are we? We are the party of birthing people, not mothers anymore. What the hell? So you talked about it. So hard to break through. It's so hard to break through. Well, Bernie almost did it. And they're like, nah, Bernie, get in line. Get in line, buddy. Trump almost didn't do it, but he broke through. Now, I remember in 2016, I remember with the whole conversation of the establishment versus the anti establishment and MAGA versus the rhinos, they were basically saying, if you recall, this is the end of the Republican Party. They're done. If you elect Trump, even if he wins or doesn't, when they are finished, it's so funny. Ten years later, Republican Party, MAGA as strong as they've ever been, and the Democratic Party is in shambles. So I hope Stephen A. Smith gets a seat at the table. I hope he has such a powerful voice. But you want to lose someone like that, you want to lose a Rogan, you want to lose an Adam Sosnik. That's crazy. Sorry, guys.
Patrick Bet-David
Just saying. Relax. All right, so now let me go through a couple of these stories here. I check this one out. He deserves Representative Ilhan Omar. The dumbing of the American people has arrived. How else do you get Trump again? Watch this clip and tell me how you feel. Meaning literally, how do you feel listening to her? Go ahead, Rob. These people are just idiots. I really, you know, I'm at the point where it's become really hard to.
Amy
Have an intellectual debate with any of these people, because the level of stupidity.
Patrick Bet-David
That they are displaying every single day.
Amy
Is frankly embarrassing, not just in Congress, but as Americans.
Adam Sosnick
And the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous.
Amy
Things tells you that the dumbing of.
Adam Sosnick
The United States has arrived.
Amy
Because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?
Vinny
Okay, this is failure to launch, failure to connect. This is her basket of deplorables moment. What she doesn't get, what she thinks that she's representative of, what the Americans should be, she's representative of progressive values. She's representative. How we should all be inclusive and DEI and Somalian pirates should be running around everywhere in America. No, the American people gave a mandate to Trump. How many. How many swing states did Trump lose? Zero. And Trump, did he win or lose the popular vote?
Brandon
1.
Vinny
He won the popular vote. That never happens. So what? Again, they need to take a long look in the mirror and be like, this is the lady we want representing us.
Adam Sosnick
First of all, she literally. And it takes a lot. She gets me sick to my stomach, okay? She hates America. She's called. She has done this for the complete and total dismantling of. Of police forces in the United States. She's ungrateful. She's an entitled Marxist, okay? And she sympathized with the 911 hijackers. Do you guys remember when 911 happened? She said the quote, some people did something. She didn't call them extremists. She didn't call them terrorists. 3,000Americans were murdered. And that's how she chose to describe it.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay?
Adam Sosnick
Just some people chose to do something. And she was kind of bragging that in college she took a terrorism a terrorist class. And she goes, and the professor, when he say al Qaeda and Hamas, and she like. Like she was proud about it, okay? And she's sitting in Congress. Congress because the system she constantly trashes, okay? She came here as a refugee. She was given the opportunities that most people on earth could only dream of. And instead of gratitude, she spits on Americans every single chance she gets, okay? She called us idiots and all that crap, which drives me crazy. She's ungrateful. Un American. And lastly, let's not forget, she allegedly. And Tucker, everybody's reported on it. She married Ahmed. Nurse side Elmi, her full brother. Married him in 2009.
Vinny
What do you mean, bro?
Adam Sosnick
Listen, guys, look it up.
Patrick Bet-David
This Rob real quick.
Adam Sosnick
Snow pitch. She married him. And. And I said allegedly, but everybody's reported on it. Married him in 2009. No, no.
Vinny
Like a brother.
Adam Sosnick
No, no, that.
Patrick Bet-David
Let's see this one here.
Adam Sosnick
Unfounded. Yeah, unfounded. Meaning they don't want you to find it.
Patrick Bet-David
Here. Chance of becoming the first Somalian Minnesota state represent. Rumor swirl that she had married her brother in illegal. In an illegal effort to facilitate his obtaining US Citizenship. Omar did win a seat and after two years later, was elected. Okay, go for it.
Adam Sosnick
So this again, allegedly. This is.
Vinny
But who did she marry? I mean, this is not.
Adam Sosnick
His name is Ahmed Northside Elmy. So ready for this? Married him in 2009, divorced him in 2017, she married him to break U.S. immigration law and defraud the U.S. oK, if this is true, Tom Holman, if you're listening to this podcast, investigate and I hope they both lose their citizenship and you deport both of them because if that's the fact. And then look who she's sitting with. Mehdi Hassan, another anti American loser who tweeted, you showed it last time. Make American planes crash again. Ok, there's.
Vinny
He said that.
Adam Sosnick
Did he really show the tweet. If you can, Rob, that's it. And then you know what he said?
Vinny
That's what this guy says.
Adam Sosnick
That's what he said.
Patrick Bet-David
This is a week ago, by the way.
Adam Sosnick
This is a week ago. And you know what he said? This guy, you know what he tries to do? Adam, he's on you guys.
Vinny
You rooting for America's planes to crash.
Adam Sosnick
You know what he says?
Vinny
And who employs this guy at this point?
Adam Sosnick
What do you mean? What?
Patrick Bet-David
Because he was on msnbc.
Vinny
But who is he on now?
Patrick Bet-David
I think it's independent.
Adam Sosnick
It's independent. And you know what, you know what that means? Two people that hate America that are sitting in there, by the way. And then he tried to blame. Guess what, you guys are racist and you're Islamophobic because of that shit that they're saying. These are the people. This is the problem with the Democratic Party. These are who you guys have. And that's your voice.
Vinny
Representative of Democrats.
Adam Sosnick
No, these are Democrats and these are the people.
Patrick Bet-David
This guy is a. Maddie is now with the Guardian since last 12 months. Brandon, any thoughts on this?
Brandon
Yeah, no, it's just. I just have no patience for people who clearly hate America. I mean, if you. There's two types of immigrants who come here. The ones that are deeply thankful for it and love it here and the ones that have some weird resentment for it and want to see it burned and destroyed.
Patrick Bet-David
Percentage of Americans. Listen to what she says and say I agree with her. Rob, can you go to the clip? Is there a clip of her tweeting it? Because I would like to see if she retweeted that to see what her audience that agrees with her says. Just go to her Twitter account. Not to Libs of TikTok because they're going to agree with Libs of TikTok. Go to her Twitter account and go a little lower. See if she retweeted that. Go lower. No, majority Americans are smart, hard going and now you're changing your script. Go a little lower. Did she retweet her clip?
Adam Sosnick
I Don't think she would ever retweet something like that.
Patrick Bet-David
Go to Mediasan, see if Mediasan retweeted that clip. I just want to know what argument people make who agree with the sentiment that both he and her have Gola lore. He didn't retweet that video. I don't know why he wouldn't.
Adam Sosnick
Absolutely not.
Patrick Bet-David
Oh, there's a. No, he didn't. Ok, so then maybe go under the clip of anybody that posted that clip and let's see what the audience is saying. I actually want to know anybody that agrees. Okay, go under. Go. Go to. Go to that one. There's a few other comments. Go lower. Zoom in a little bit so we can see the comments. Okay. Alon wants you to remember as she thinks all Americans are idiots. Okay, whatever. Go next. This ungrateful. Go next. Did she forget. Go next. A sitting member of Congress. Unfortunate that. Go next. She banks her brother. Okay. She worried about since eradicating Islamophobia, his criticism like Islam has never, ever experienced. And it's okay. She's worried about. No, let me. Let me go. She's worried about common sense, eradicating Islamophobia and yes, criticism like Islam has never experienced. Okay, so that's not positive. Go lower. Trying to see who would agree with what she's saying.
Adam Sosnick
There's a.
Patrick Bet-David
Would be jihadist deport this. So two terrorist sympathizers, this criminally incestuous, obnoxious dimwit. Okay. These two would not have fared well on the Oregon Trail. Deport. Go lower. Rob, did the beepers go? So, I mean, the. The point here is I'm trying to see who agrees with what she has to say.
Brandon
There's.
Amy
Well, this is where the irony comes in, right? Because she's saying that everyone on the right is essentially dumb. But the only people who agree with her argument are people who aren't based in logic at all. There are only people who they've been able to influence flame emotionally. Like it's insane that they're calling outside dumb when that's the side that literally told you to not even believe your eyes for like the last four years. You know, that. That men. It's fair for men to compete in women's sports, that immigrants aren't causing any harm. Meanwhile, all these stories are continuously popping up about women who are having their lives taken in these situations. You know, that. That we can actually refer to people as Zimzer and have it be totally normal that they can have a mandate on language like, how are we the side that is dumbed down. It's the iron law of work. Projection. Anything that they accuse you of is actually a confession. That's what we're seeing.
Brandon
Well, they're trying to demoralize society. I just sent Rob a chart that shows pride in America by generation. And it's. I think we could turn this around. But it's unfortunate to see that, like, by generation, there's. There's less and less people that are proud to be American, which, I mean, I think that's a lot of that comes from entertainment and education, which, I mean, a lot of this money that we're seeing being uncovered now gets pumped into that stuff. So there is this active agenda to try to make people ashamed to be American or make people think that we did something wrong here.
Patrick Bet-David
So this is what 18 to 34 is blue. 35 to 54 is black. 55. Older is gray. Extremely proud to be American. Are the 55 and older. Lowest Is the generation. Very proud. Goes to 3554. Moderately boom. Not proud at all. Is all the youngins 18 to 35 only a little bit proud. The youngins. Moderately proud. The youngins. I mean, sure. The pride of the not being proud of your country and seeing how it reflects with the youth. This is all you get to blame. You get to blame academia. I want to go to the next story here. You get to blame academia, by the way. Next story here. Joy Reid gets fired. Okay. And she has a very emotional story about her getting fired. And this one is an interesting one, Rob. But let me just first read the story here. MSNBC canceled. Joy Reid left the show as network makes major shakeup. This is a New York Post story readout as part of a major shakeup by new network president Rebecca Cutler, according to New York Times. By the way, can you pull up who Rebecca Cutler is? I'm curious to know what her background is. Read. A longtime Trump critic has hosted the slot since 2020 after previously anchoring AM Joy on weekends. MSNBC declined to comment on the cancellation, but a source confirmed the final episode will air this week. The time slot will be taken over by a new panel show featuring Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele and Simone Sanders Townsend, a former spokesperson, Vice President Kamala Harris. Reid's ratings have plummeted by nearly 50% since former President Donald Trump's election victory, and Nielsen's media research reporting that MSMC's primetime audience dropped 53% since November 5th. Reid had recently gone viral for controversial remarks, including telling Trump voters to make your own dinner at Thanksgiving. And that should suffer the consequences of your votes. Can you play the clip of her reacting and we'll come back and see who she is?
Vinny
No fair. My body, my choice.
Adam Sosnick
Well, here's an alternative thought.
Patrick Bet-David
Make your own dinner maga. Make your own sandwiches, wipe your own tears, troll amongst yourselves with Elon and leave us alone.
Vinny
You got your heart's desire.
Patrick Bet-David
The president you dreamed of and worship instead of Jesus. And this time you didn't even have to storm the capital, smash the windows or try to kill police officers or issue death threats to PO workers. See, by voting this time, congrats.
Vinny
You got your way.
Patrick Bet-David
And he even got away with breaking the law.
Adam Sosnick
Yay.
Amy
My show had value.
Patrick Bet-David
And that.
Adam Sosnick
I'm sorry.
Vinny
Oh, no.
Patrick Bet-David
That what I was doing had value and value. And in the end, I'm sorry.
Vinny
I'm not.
Patrick Bet-David
I try not to cry on tv.
Amy
And I think this is kind of.
Patrick Bet-David
Like me on tv. So I apologize. And then. And that it kind of. And then it mattered.
Amy
I see Karen is there and she's.
Patrick Bet-David
Been texting me as well. And so what I will just say is that in the end, thank you. Rob, can you go back because Rachel Maddow responded and saying MSMC made a massive mistake, et cetera. Go to the new president. I want to know who that is. Go to the new president. There's an article I just saw something, right? The ruthless something. What's that? Daily Mail article. Yeah, click on that. The ruthless new MSNBC boss who gutted Joy Reid Just 10 days after taking the job. Okay, so she called the shot. Rebecca Cutler has officially named. Rob called Little or I can't read it. So Amazon announced Cutler, 45 years old, was officially promoted on Wednesday, February 20th. Mark Lazarus, who's the head of Comcast spinoff company, told staff in a memo earlier, go lower in a short time, Rebecca was the interim president. We clear to me that she has big picture strategic view on the right leadership skills to ensure msnbc, Abrams Lancer. Since taking charge, Cutler has successfully stabilized the network's ratings following a major post election decline. The recovery has been largely attributed to the network star anchor Rachel Maddow making regular primetime appearances during Trump's first 100 days. Most recently as president, Cutler canceled Joey Reid. Also this week, network axed another three of its stars showing after Nixon Reed's program. Who are the other three stars? Go a little lower to see who they have. Katie Fang, Jonathan Caphart and Ayman Mohleddin. I don't know. These guys have also got fired. Boot can you see who that is? So we know who Jonathan Capehart is because apparently he knows I had the privilege.
Adam Sosnick
He was the one that cries all the time.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay, got it. Go back to the story. Let me see the story. So over the last two years I've had the privilege on goal. Okay, so go to her LinkedIn if you could. Let's go to her LinkedIn to see what her past is, to see if there's actual changes taking place in. Right there, LinkedIn. So let's see what her past is with MSNBC, CNN. Oh, there you go. It's the same.
Adam Sosnick
There you go.
Patrick Bet-David
Okay. Gore, executive producer, cnn, cnn.
Adam Sosnick
What school, Columbia.
Patrick Bet-David
Forget about it. It's the same thing. There's nothing that's changing here. And apparently Rachel Matta was responding. Rob, if you got the Rachel Matta clip, trying to defend because she is not happy about what they did and she called out msnbc, go ahead. PM hour, all the other nights except for Mondays. So that's a big change. An even bigger programming change is at 7pm 7pm Eastern, where joy Reid's show, the readout ended tonight. And Joy is not taking a different job in the network. She is leaving the network altogether. And that is very, very, very hard to take.
Vinny
What's this guy's Name?
Patrick Bet-David
I am 51 years old. I have been gainfully employed since I was 12. And I have had so many different kinds of jobs. You wouldn't believe me if I told you, but in all of the jobs I have had, in all of the years I have been alive, there is no colleague for whom I have had more affection and more respect than Joy Reid. I love everything about her. I have learned so much from her. I have so much more to learn from her. I do not want to lose her as a colleague here at msnbc.
Adam Sosnick
And it's coming because after this panel, I'll just tell you, she, she, she says it was a bad mistake, mind you, you got a new boss that's making these decisions. You just got a $5 million pay cut this year. And then she goes on, she says that, you know, and she did the race card. She goes that two non white hosts are losing their jobs. And it's making it seem like she's basically saying that NBC is freaking racist is what she's insisting insinuating. And then she craps on the network. And I wouldn't be surprised, mark my words, she's next. She's going to be next on the, on the chopping block because, and, and you would think, you know, I think I tweeted this pat a couple days ago when I was like. And, and there they want to make this change, this shake up. They want to do something new, something bold. Guess who they're replacing her with? Simone Sanders Townsend. Another race baiting anti America. You want to make a change and you go from Joy Reid to her. I'm not making fun of her parents, but she's exactly Joy Reid. And this is again, when it comes to the left and the Democrats, they guys, they can't change the tune. They won't do it like no matter what you say. I'm so happy you just did like a. You dissected where she's from. You think that girl's gonna go old bold and bring somebody that's actually has another opinion on the other side? No, bro, this is the ship. The ship is sinking and these people have no idea what the hell they're doing and it's going down and they're not going to change, period.
Brandon
Well, it's nice to see that. So in contrast to the last election, I remember that like the CNN and msnbc, their views skyrocketed after Trump won last time because people were watching them doing all the hate and the race baiting and all that, but seems like a stark contrast this time. Like, I mean they lost a lot of legitimacy. Then there's alternative media outlets. So I'm glad to see that. For one thing, that it's not a positive boost for the liberal side of the mainstream media. And then two, I'm surprised this happened to Joy Reid before Maddow because Maddox makes like 25 million a year for one show. Joy Reid was only making 3 million a year. So if this is about money, I don't know why they don't.
Adam Sosnick
It's not about money, Tom. By the way, I love Tom. Even though he's sick, he's sending freaking charts and stats. Tom, I love you. Look at this. The readout television program on MSNBC since Monday July 20, 2020. It's currently the seventh most popular show on MSNBC and 126 overall TV watched by a total number of 778000 people. 0.25, 25 ratings down, minus 16 from yesterday as a daily audience measurement from February 20, 2025. Look at that. Look at that number.
Patrick Bet-David
Seventh most popular on.
Adam Sosnick
On Ms.
Vinny
Exactly. Which means she's the 98th most popular person on TV. Those spikes. Look at where those spikes. Yep, the assassination attempt and then November. So the only time people are watching are when things dramatically happen.
Adam Sosnick
And so. And that's why then. And you know what? That's why they're pushing this freaking rhetoric all the time. Because they're hoping. They're begging for people to try to kill the president. They're hoping for collapse. They bro. They want the country to fail because it's freaking numbers for them. Shame on them.
Vinny
Well, I mean, there's a reason they didn't fire Rachel Maddow, because she's actually the number one show on their channel. I mean, number one, she's probably be number 50 compared to the shows that are going on with Fox. Even some of the stuff, maybe cnn, I don't know. But the point is, you know, Pat does his big event he does in Vegas every year for his other company, php. And there's a phrase that they do, it's called butts in seats. And then you have a whole competition how many people you're bringing, how many butts and seats, how many bringing? Who's bringing? I'm gonna bring 100. I'm gonna bring up 200. All right. I'm gonna bring 300. Bro, you brought four. You said you were gonna bring 300. You brought four. Meanwhile, you got Matt sepal over here bringing 500, 000 people. You brought four, buddy. You fired. So here's this lady. She's ranting, she's raving, she's doing this, she's doing that. Nobody's watching you, lady. Sorry. That's why she's gone. This guy right here, Rick Maddow, what's his name? Rachel Maddow. She has at least a little bit of pull, she has at least a little bit of leverage because she actually puts butts in seats. And that's how that works. So I can't think of anyone. You help me out here. Can't think of anybody that got fired that didn't draw an audience other than maybe Tucker Carlson.
Patrick Bet-David
Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. How much dirt you think Rachel Maddow has on msnbc?
Adam Sosnick
I think a lot, because she wouldn't say that.
Patrick Bet-David
She wouldn't talk like, how much dirt. The reason why you can talk like that is because she probably holds him hostage. So maybe she's got something that they fear that if they fire her and maybe to give her one day a week for how much money?
Brandon
What, 25 million.
Patrick Bet-David
Can you pull this up to just verify how much Rachel Maddow makes per year?
Adam Sosnick
I think it's down to 15.
Brandon
No, I thought start at 30. Went to 25.
Adam Sosnick
I think it's 25 of what she.
Patrick Bet-David
Gets paid there it is 30 million a year. Rachel Maddow is MSNBC's host. 30 million a year and she got a 5 million dollar reduction to 25 million a year just once a week. There is no way anybody deserves that kind of pay on MSNBC without something behind closed doors that we don't know about. For the new president to get promoted 12 days ago and they make a big call out firing Joy Reid. And you don't defend the new president and you defend the talent, which means you're not defending a company that's paying your payday. That means you're holding them hostage on something that you know, maybe she knows where the bodies are buried. And she pretty much got everything she wanted. And in that contract, in return for 25 a year, for once a week she wrote a, probably an agreement to say I will never disclose anything. Whatever, whatever, whatever. This is the vibe it gives me because capitalism doesn't work if a person's not. You're paying this person 25 million a year. Okay, Rob, can you pull up and see the biggest sponsors on Rachel Maddows shows? Who are the top five biggest sponsors on Rachel Maddow show? I'm actually curious to do business research now. Can we just see top sponsors on Rachel Maddow's show? So if she's doing. Folks, it's not hard to think about how business works. If you paid me 25 million a year, but in sponsorship the show only gets 20 million a year, would you pay me 25 million? Why would you do that? And not only that for once a week. So imagine how much are. Okay, Rob, do me a favor. Go type in rate card for Rachel Maddow sheets to do commercials on rate card for Rachel Maddows. You know, rate card for doing ads or CPM.
Brandon
She gets to 2 million views per show. By the way.
Patrick Bet-David
It's okay, totally fine. But it's once a week. So let's go to the. What the advertising rate card is. Can you pull up how much it is for me to do go specifically to Rachel Maddow. Go lower. Okay, now I got to find out here what is it cost? Can you guys each, each of you guys see if you can find something. Everybody do their own kind of research. See want you're going to chat gbt. What does it, I want to know what does it cost to do a 30 second commercial on Rachel Maddow show. How much does that spot cost? Is it 10 grand? Is it 50 grand? Is it 100 grand. Let's do the math backwards. How much does it cost according to 32nd? Approximately $4,500. Okay, so in 2017 it was $4,500. And how many viewers was she getting back then? What was her viewership back then? Okay, let's say, let's say it's 10 grand today for 30 seconds. Let's just do that. How long is Rachel Maddow show? Once a week. How long is the show once a week? One hour. Okay, so in a one hour show it's normally. How many minutes of at. In a 1, in a 1 hour. In a 1 hour show, is this.
Vinny
Chick really getting paid? 25 million.
Patrick Bet-David
How many minutes? One show a week is ads. In a one hour show, is it 24 minutes? 14 to 18 minutes. Let's go to 18 minutes is ads. Okay, let's do the math. So let's say, let's say 15 minutes. 15 minutes times 20, which is because it's 10,000 per 30 second commercial. So it's 20,000 for a minute. That's 300,000. 300,000 per show. She does four shows a month. That's 1.2 million. 1.2 million times 12 months in a year. That's 14 and a half million. Say it's $15 million. You mean to tell me I'm collecting $15 million in sponsorship then paying you $25 million? And that doesn't include the producer, the executive producer, the cameras, the network, the ads, the all the networking site. You really think that's going on? I think something's going on in there. The math doesn't make make any sense. What are we talking about here? 10 grand a commercial for 30 second slot times 15 minutes, times 2452 episodes per year. That, that doesn't make any sense. MSNBC in my opinion is held hostage by Rachel Matta because they feel she has something on them and they got a, they gave a godfather contract for somebody that needs to be replaced. And MSME is about to be dying by the way.
Adam Sosnick
That's your opinion.
Patrick Bet-David
I'm giving you this based on my opinion. I don't have any insider information.
Adam Sosnick
But it sounds like. Because.
Vinny
Can you check if she genuinely just does a show once a week?
Adam Sosnick
It's once a week and here says it right here. Here's the math. 60 minutes. Yeah, once a week. And this is the math. If she gets 25 million a year for one hour a week, that means she makes $480,000 per every hour for one hour.
Patrick Bet-David
2008 Rob now down here it says.
Vinny
The episode dates, but it's looking like she's doing every night.
Adam Sosnick
She.
Vinny
So maybe it's a one hour show.
Patrick Bet-David
Go back to.
Vinny
She was doing a one hour show every night for many, many years and then she took a hiatus. I think. So. I don't, I don't know. This whole one. One week.
Patrick Bet-David
Go to the John Stewart's, go to the contract. Is it once a week? Does Rachel Maddow only. Only.
Vinny
Well, regardless, it's five hours a week. We established that.
Adam Sosnick
The fact they want to listen to her. Oh my God.
Patrick Bet-David
But no wonder why no rich matter shows up. It was once a week. Now it's for no longer stretches. It's typically not once a week, but rather for longer stretches, like a few days. Okay, a week.
Vinny
So she's coming in.
Patrick Bet-David
When she does take a break. Okay. Because if it's five days a week and it's 2 million views per, then economically it makes sense. If it's not five days a week, it's once a week. The math doesn't make any sense. The sponsorship money doesn't add up. She does it every day. Two million, you're saying, Rob, that's how many eyeballs she gets?
Vinny
Yes.
Patrick Bet-David
Well, I could say it makes sense. How old is she, by the way? Can you type up how Rachel Maddow is?
Vinny
Probably 50.
Patrick Bet-David
50, 51. Who's the highest paid person on TV? Who's the highest paid person on tv? Anchor on tv. Type an anchor on tv. Who's the highest?
Vinny
Sean Hannity at 40 million a year.
Patrick Bet-David
Wow, what a guy.
Vinny
Sean Hannity.
Patrick Bet-David
And do they have the top five to see where everybody is? So Rachel second 30. And who's next after Rachel Cooper, 20 to 25. Stepanopoulos1018. Robin10 018. Gayle King, 1018. Savannah Guthrie. 1018. Interesting wide range right here.
Amy
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
It's all based on the amount of money they can make running gats. If it makes sense, you do it. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Obviously with Joey Reid the money wasn't making sense. They had to replace her.
Vinny
She's their number one person and it's not even close. Like, beyond that, they have got, I think Lawrence O'Donnell. They got Chris Hayes, the, the beta guy. They got Ari Melber, the rapping lawyer. But she's the face of msnbc. What else are they going to do?
Patrick Bet-David
She.
Vinny
The next person below her is half her views. Viewership. Lawrence O'Donnell.
Patrick Bet-David
Let me go to the next story.
Vinny
80 years old.
Patrick Bet-David
Let me go to the next story here. Next story here. Something's going on between Tucker and Dan Crenshaw. Rob played a clip with Dan Crenshaw. A little bit awkward. He's doing an interview with a guy, and then all of a sudden, you know, with gbn, they're talking and he whispers something about Tucker. If he was to run into him. Go ahead, Rob.
Adam Sosnick
Have you ever met Tucker? What do you say? If I ever meet him, he goes, I think kill him. No joke.
Patrick Bet-David
So let me ask you, who leaked this clip? It's probably this looks like a direct angle of the camera. Yeah. So then this is GBN leaked this clip or someone while they're talking, or at gbn, by the way, the. Whoever that's at GPN that was behind it, if the guy didn't get fired, then it's gbn. Because if somebody leaked a clip here without my permission, and if they have a job and you leak this, you don't have a job. So that means GBN approved a clip like this being leaked or was okay with it being leaked because it was publicity getting it out there. So if you ever do an interview with gbn, make sure you don't talk while the camera isn't on. Nothing. Just say, all the best, whatever. Because now Tucker responds back to this. Rob, if you can pull up. What is that right there? You got.
Vinny
Well, this is, this is possibly why Dan Crenshaw said that he wanted to kill Tucker Carlson. So, I mean, Dan Crenshaw obviously is not emotionally prepared to lead anything. And, you know, he's out of control.
Patrick Bet-David
He's out of control.
Vinny
And I think that he's a really volatile person. I, I hope he gets help. I mean, that. And. But, you know, he's also a pretty sinister person, I would say, whose priorities are not aligned with party's voters, but also kind of nothing to do with the United States. So.
Patrick Bet-David
Right.
Vinny
I, you know, I object. I mean, I feel I'm being. Want to be honest, I feel sorry for Dan Crenshaw. I've had conflict with Dan Crenshaw. I felt like he was emotionally out of control, and so I feel sorry for him. But I also think it's not just him. It's a lot of the leadership of that party just doesn't put the United.
Patrick Bet-David
States first at all.
Vinny
And, you know, they all want to suck up to Trump and America first. Really? Where's the money going? It's not going here. It's going to the country.
Patrick Bet-David
So this is what he's reacting to. And Tucker responds on a Tweet. Right. Rob, if you can go to that.
Vinny
Is Tucker calling out Trump right here?
Patrick Bet-David
No, no, that are part of Matt. Tucker's calling out people from the RINO side and the establishment Republicans that are trying to kiss up to Trump and saying, but where does the money go to? That's what he's saying. Gola Lor. I thought there was a tweet by him saying, go Laur, Go Laura. Go Laur. Apparently it's not up there. Okay. So if you, if you find it, there was something where he said, I would love to have you on. I would love to have you on. I thought I saw a response, I thought I saw a response by Tucker.
Adam Sosnick
Tucker said, if you want to debate.
Vinny
Right.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Adam Sosnick
If you want to talk about it.
Patrick Bet-David
Right here, I'll send you my address. Yeah, something like that is what he said. So, Vinny, what are your thoughts on this?
Adam Sosnick
Well, first of all, and, and me and Brandon were talking about this before the show started. Like Dan Crenshaw.
Patrick Bet-David
Is that the one? Let me see it.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
Why don't you come and sit for an interview and we'll see how you do. I'll send you my address. Okay, this is a response. And then Elon said, why is Crenshaw homicidal regarding. Homicidal regarding Tucker? Okay, go ahead, Vinnie.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, so, okay. And, and I, because I know some people are going to get pissed off. And as a veteran, as a veteran, I, this has nothing to do with his service. He's, he served as, I think Seal Team 3. An IED blew up. I want to say Bahrain. I don't, don't quote me on it. But his eye, you know, he's blinded. He has to wear a patch. The other one was in bad shape, but they, they fixed it. He can see. All that aside, you have to understand, like, there's, there's a difference between Republicans from Dan and, and Tucker. Okay. Tucker is America first. You guys know that guy. He loves this country. His backbone is in this country. People like Dan, Chris Shaw, though, Pat, they support, like, they're the military guys that will wear the Ukraine patch. They're about sending the money. They're the. He. What he called him, he called them eyepatch McCain.
Patrick Bet-David
He called them eye patch, became Tucker, called Dan Crunch.
Adam Sosnick
Tucker called him I, I patch McCain. And he questions, you know, his credibility while, you know Tucker well, he called Tucker a click chaser and a cowardly, know nothing, elitist. But I think it's, it's, this is the Republican Party that's fighting each Other, because it's one, one is a populist, media driven America first, and the other one is the establishment that we always talk about. And it's like that's the changing of the guard. The people want more of Tucker. And this is where that beef comes. And there's been a lot. I mean, he was going through it for a while and I forgot who reported on it, on the unusuals where there's a lot of questions about the investing and, you know, insider trading and all that type of stuff, because the investments that he said that he was making, I think I want to say he's worth $4.4 million now. And he was getting furious online because people were apparently calling him up for his stuff. But I think if they sit down with Tucker, Tucker will eat him alive.
Patrick Bet-David
Brandon?
Brandon
Yeah, so, yeah, just when I'm. You listen to somebody speak, I, I look at their energy and their, their vibe a lot and just really the way he speaks, the, the smugness, the, the condescending way that he says things, just that alone, I don't like. From the beginning, that was already a red flag. But then, like, the things that he supports, like, like when he said he'll, like he's the first one to come out and support funding the military, first one to come out and like endorse Ukraine. So I don't, I don't think that he says what he actually thinks. I think that he's one of those guys that's being told what said. I think he's bitter about things. I think he's trying to chase money because of things. And yeah, I don't think he actually says what he thinks. So I can't respect somebody like that.
Amy
Yeah, I, I don't know too much about this guy. But to say that Tucker Carlson is the worst person ever, I mean, that just blatantly proves that he doesn't know what he's doing. I mean, it's really difficult to hate Tucker Carlson even from the other side. He's just like a very cheerful, happy, go, lucky person. Right? Worst person ever. I mean, I don't know.
Vinny
I think there's a lot of people out there that would like to punch Tucker Carlson in the face. Not me. I'm just saying a lot of people would.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah. Well, listen, we'll see what happened here. What I like is the fact that the debate's taking place now. It's on Dan Crenshaw to go out there and sit down with Tucker. There's also things going on between Tucker and Ben where you know, there is the Ben camp, there is the Tucker camp, there is the establishment camp, there's the DeSantis camp that's still not happy about what happened with Trump. There's the MAGA camp, then there's the fractions of the MAGA camp that are all fighting each other. But guess what? They're all still on the same side. That's the part, ok, that they're trying to fight and argue. And the policies at the top that are winning are the policies that Trump has. The Republicans are saying, look, man, you guys are great, and whatever you're doing and whoever you're speaking on behalf of, the ideas we support are the ideas that Trump's put up there for us. We're supporting what he has to say. And so that's what I notice going on within here. Next, JFK assassination task force to reveal finding on UFOs, Area 51 and pledges Americans will get the truth. Rob, if you got this clip to play. Yeah, if you got this clip to play, go for it right here. Go ahead. Well, we're trying to do what I think just about every American wants, and that's to force the government to be more transparent with the American people. There are lots of questions we have about, you know, everything ranging from the JFK assassination to whether or not the government has any knowledge of UFOs that, that has been concealed. And one of the things that Tucker Carlson said that I don't know, that I agree with you maybe. Right. But I don't know when he says the CIA directors knew. I don't know. I don't know if these deep state bureaucrats even, even tell their superiors because they have the attitude that superiors come and go. There'll be a Republican administration, there'll be a Democrat administration, and they may know. But I believe that in these, in these deep state agencies. So the question becomes, what was supposed to be released just this Saturday?
Adam Sosnick
We were, we were, we were. I mean, we've been promised since Trump's first.
Patrick Bet-David
This is James Comer, by the way.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, this is James Comer. And, and this is what. Well, we've been promised, Pat. Jfk. Because who was, who was the Luna. The, the really attractive? Luna said, I've seen them and I, I, she thinks that there's two shooters. Pam Bondi's like, the stuff is sitting on my desk. Cash Patel said, on day one, I'm going to X, Y and Z. Okay, Then you have him, and he's saying, we're gonna have to force the government. You are the government. Ok? You guys have the House, you have the Senate. We are promised all these things. We've been on you guys for this entire time. We've been supporting you the entire time. Enough of this waiting bullshit. And to be honest with you, it's not as if we don't know that JFK at this point, there was multiple shooters at this point, it's not even a secret anymore that multiple people were involved. Grazie Knoll. That what's his name was working with Russia. All this stuff is adding up. Everybody's dead. What are we waiting for? Just tell us what the CIA was involved. So what's going to happen? We're going to debolish the CIA. Nobody's going to be held accountable. Okay. And the Epstein list, It is kind of weird though that we're promised it and now that everybody's in, now we just have to sit and wait because. And when Pam Bondi said it's sitting on my desk, you have to do it for review. Hold on a second, I. Unless it's people that, that you're cool with that you don't want to get in trouble. We deserve to see it. Sorry, I'm just knocking over yourself. Vinny, I'm so sorry.
Vinny
You're okay, bro?
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, no, I'm okay.
Vinny
You're fired up. You know what you seem like, you.
Adam Sosnick
Know, you sound like she finished it.
Vinny
You sound like an angry patriot right now.
Adam Sosnick
But it's almost as if I was drinking. But you're right, it feels like we're.
Brandon
Slow walking this thing. Like, I mean, like how. What does it think though? I don't know. I. Maybe like Elon said the other day when they were interviewing him and Trump, he said that a lot of the times Trump will do an executive order and then it won't actually happen because the people who are responsible for executing it slow walk it or there's people that are behind the scenes or lower down the totem pole that end up not do executing the things for whatever reason. So I don't know, like what's so difficult about just make posting the files of the JFK thing, making it public. Like posting the PDF like this was three weeks ago now.
Vinny
That's been 70 years. I mean what's another couple. What's another couple days here, guys, I need a nap now.
Adam Sosnick
JG Wentworth Commercial. What was the eight pages?
Vinny
I need it now.
Adam Sosnick
What was the eight pages or something that the 911 that would blow? Like enough of this waiting BS. We are in charge now. Okay, let me see it let me just like seven calmly, like, waiting for me to.
Vinny
Let's see the next time someone interrupts me. Go ahead, Vinnie, keep ranting.
Patrick Bet-David
Go seven times. Go ahead.
Adam Sosnick
Literally. And I just kept my mouth shut. It's like, like, like the 9, 11.
Patrick Bet-David
I need a fight afterwards. By the way.
Adam Sosnick
There's three. Three of the main things that all these people that they call us kooks want to finally know. Jfk, which is one of the worst moments in. In the history of this country that they killed, they assassinated, and they. The biggest form of treason. They murdered a sitting president because he didn't want to go to war, okay? He wanted to withdraw. He wanted to splinter the CIA into a, what, a million pieces or whatever the hell he said. Then the second one, nine, eleven. There's nine documents that you guys are holding that we can't see. What are you hiding it for? Is it Saudi's involvement? Is it our involvement? Did Bush and all them. No. And then the third one is 9, 11, JFK. And then the Epstein. Are you kidding me? Ghislaine Maxwell. Well, Epstein's brother claims that he's not dead, whatever, but Ghislaine Maxwell is right now sitting, riding in a prison doing 25 years for selling human beings for little girls. Where are her customers at? Where. Where are all the people that abused, potentially raped and maybe even killed? Because nobody knew what the hell was going on this island. And nobody wants to know. And we have the list release everything. And if Trump was on it, I get messages. People are like, well, maybe it's because Trump is. I go, if Trump was on that list and he was at that island, you would have heard about this shit before Russia, collusion, way before Russia.
Patrick Bet-David
Is this not being released? I think they keep saying, why is it not being released?
Adam Sosnick
I think some of their friends are on that list and some of their friends behind closed doors, like, hey, listen, just please, just. As long as you just say that it's. There's no. Give me another explanation.
Patrick Bet-David
I get that with Epstein.
Adam Sosnick
Yes.
Patrick Bet-David
I don't get that with Kennedy. I don't get that with the other ones.
Amy
I think it's a matter of, like, there's a saying that time either promotes you or exposes you. And throughout the period of the last couple of years, so many conspiracy theorists have been vindicated. The conspiracy theorists have been right all along about so many things. So I think when it comes down to these very, very important classified documents, like, this is the last kind of grips on the narrative that they have. They're Fearful that once that paradigm is broken for people and they realize that maybe the CIA was involved or the narrative was not what they were told, what's going to happen? Will it be the collapse of society? Or at least the collapse of their grips on society? Because they're going to realize once again, the conspiracy theorists all vindicate.
Vinny
Adam, Look, I think it was Glenn Beck.
Adam Sosnick
Anyway, I just want to say something. I think that aliens.
Vinny
So that means I'll just start ranting and raving and turning red. Yeah, that guy. You know what? Let's go.
Amy
Oh, my goodness.
Adam Sosnick
Go ahead, go ahead.
Vinny
Here's the deal. I think it was Glenn beck that said two weeks ago, I guarantee you within the next 10 days they're going to release the Epstein files. I think he said a guarantee.
Adam Sosnick
He said 10 days.
Vinny
I want to say guarantee. It's been how many days?
Adam Sosnick
Glenn Beck, our friend, it's been 14.
Vinny
14 days. Okay, but since he said no.
Adam Sosnick
Since cash gets in when cash gets in, which was last Friday. Last Friday.
Vinny
No, last Thursday he was confirmed. So how many days is it? Business days to tick talk, guys. Yeah, clock's ticking.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Vinny
So we're gonna see what happens there. You guys sound like stubborn children.
Adam Sosnick
It' 62 years.
Vinny
I need it right now. It's like, relax, guys.
Adam Sosnick
No, I don't want to relax.
Vinny
Just got in. Would you. How many Celsiuses have you drunk?
Adam Sosnick
No, I haven't had any. But when somebody all over this. When somebody says on day one. He said on day one, Adam, I am about promises being kept and accountability.
Vinny
Also said that he'd end the Ukraine.
Adam Sosnick
Cash Patel.
Vinny
He hasn't even gotten his office yet.
Adam Sosnick
I don't give a. You said you're going to do it. I want Cam Bondi's death desk. She has it. All right, what are we waiting for then?
Vinny
Keep that same energy when you meet Pam Bondi and Unique.
Adam Sosnick
If I meet them and they haven't released it, trust me, they're going to hear it. Because the real supporters that have been with these, that whole group since, for nine years, we want what we were promised. Plain and simple.
Vinny
With catastrophe.
Adam Sosnick
The president, it's important to keep the.
Brandon
Pressure on too, because how fast the news cycle is moving, if we don't keep the pressure on every day, then people forget about it. And you know the pressure.
Patrick Bet-David
Let's go to this next one here. Rob, listen. So while in New York, something very interesting happens. This guy who is funny as hell, walks up on Alec Baldwin. I don't know if you've seen this or not. This guy is just so talented. And I'm sure if you're Alec Baldwin, obnoxious would qualify him. But Jason Scoob stands up to Alec Baldwin and is calling him out and is getting on his last nerve. But he gives him a compliment at the end, comparing him to Bobby Robert DeNiro. You have. You have to see this. Go and play this clip. So at least he gave him a compliment. You got to respect that. Go ahead, Alec, it's your favorite.
Adam Sosnick
Alec, I will offer you a total.
Patrick Bet-David
Pardon because I want to be friends, right? I want to be friends.
Adam Sosnick
I will give you a total pardon.
Patrick Bet-David
For murdering that woman if you kiss the ring. Kiss the ring, Alec. Kiss the big beautiful ring. Come on, Alec, come on.
Adam Sosnick
Look at Alec Baldwin, right? He did that impersonation of me. It was not too hot. But look, we're back in office. You lost? Kamala lost?
Vinny
She's somewhere getting intoxicated.
Adam Sosnick
Look at that suitcase. Unbelievable.
Patrick Bet-David
Well, Alec, if you don't want that.
Adam Sosnick
Pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood.
Vinny
Unbelievable.
Adam Sosnick
You can call it first degree, you can call it whatever you want. But it was not good. Feeling happy? Thank you for confronting the man who took me out. Who killed me.
Patrick Bet-David
Look at the Uber driver. He's like, look, just get away.
Vinny
Listen to what he says, though. No, look at me.
Patrick Bet-David
Sure, sure.
Adam Sosnick
You got a camera on me.
Patrick Bet-David
The ring. No, it's the ring.
Vinny
My kids live in this building.
Adam Sosnick
Right?
Patrick Bet-David
But I want.
Adam Sosnick
You know, we love the children. We're doing great deals for the children, okay?
Patrick Bet-David
I'd snap your neck in half and break your neck.
Vinny
Right?
Patrick Bet-David
Okay. All right.
Adam Sosnick
Alec Baldwin. Alec Baldwin, ladies and gentlemen. Class act. Believe me, believe me. Okay? Oh, he's yelling at me.
Vinny
I'm the citizen of this guy.
Adam Sosnick
I was born and raised in New York City. I love you, Alec. Alec. Look, Alec, you don't want to. You don't want to attack your favorite president. Alec, look, I love you. I love you, Alec.
Patrick Bet-David
He's got more balls than De Niro.
Vinny
That I can tell you.
Patrick Bet-David
De Niro ran away. Alex.
Adam Sosnick
Alec confronted.
Amy
That's good.
Adam Sosnick
Strong, but also agreed. Cuz he murdered a woman.
Patrick Bet-David
So that's okay, right?
Vinny
Oh, my God, that's.
Adam Sosnick
Yo, Jason, let me explain something to you.
Patrick Bet-David
He is.
Vinny
Is he the guy who came to. He was here. He debated.
Adam Sosnick
He debated.
Vinny
Remember he said Patrick met David. What a guy.
Adam Sosnick
No, my favorite is when he says African Americans, he pushes sword. He goes, and I love the African Americans. He squeezes.
Vinny
He's really talented.
Adam Sosnick
He is so, by the way. And by the way, doesn't do the old stuff, doesn't do the spray, he just puts on the hat. His man, he's the. He is the best Donald Trump supporter.
Vinny
Him or Shane Gillis.
Adam Sosnick
Shane Gillis, Yeah. Because Shane Dillis does the whole thing. But he's been doing.
Vinny
So what are your thoughts on this?
Adam Sosnick
Oh, my God, Jason. No, God, you. I want to know your thoughts.
Vinny
I think there's two things that are going on here anyway, so listen, Brandon.
Adam Sosnick
I really think that. No, go ahead.
Vinny
You can check out Vinnie at the comedy club in Turlock, California.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, 700 seaters. Sold out anyway.
Vinny
With your mom, your parents, your Syrian family.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, Vinnie.
Vinny
I swear to God, Vinnie, you come near me one more time, the guy's clearly talented, he's clearly funny. You gotta have brass balls to show up at Alec Baldwin's house like that. But at the same time, if this dude showed up in front of my house, if he showed up in front of Bay Colony Room, I'd break this guy's neck in 2 sec. If he was around my family doing stuff like this. I'm actually shocked that. Alan, Alec Baldwin didn't murder you because there's a big difference between being funny on the street in front of a red carpet appearance. I get it. You're gonna show up in front of my house where my kids are and be a tough guy. I actually give Alec Baldwin literal credit for not snapping this guy's neck. He's funny, he's talented. You show up in front of someone's house, you're gonna have a problem.
Patrick Bet-David
Brandon.
Brandon
He was mocking him on TV every day during his presidency. So he brought that upon himself. And you know, he's.
Vinny
That's, that's not in front of his house, that's on tv.
Brandon
It's even worse, it's in front of the entire world. And he was mocking him during sensitive times too. And it wasn't even a funny mocking, it was like a hateful mock.
Vinny
I don't know if you understand this. That wasn't actually Donald Trump.
Brandon
Yeah, there was a character. Come on, make the argument if you disagree.
Vinny
He was making fun of Donald Trump, not that guy. So what does that have to do with this house?
Brandon
What, that he was in front of his house?
Vinny
Yes.
Brandon
Yeah, so what? He's in the middle of the street.
Vinny
Yeah. If someone showed up at your parents house, your parents threw that nice 30th birthday, and they start condemning and going in on your parents, I would laugh.
Brandon
What would you do if they were doing a perfect imitation of really Trump.
Vinny
In front of your parents. You're gonna chuckle. You're gonna be on his team.
Brandon
Yeah.
Vinny
Then you're a.
Brandon
Or I'm not sensitive.
Vinny
No. Maybe you're overly in front of your house.
Adam Sosnick
Well when you say by the way this is a Manhattan high rise in the street, bro. I'm sorry. New York is touchable. You're untouchable in New York. It's not like he went to his Montana house out on a ranch.
Vinny
He's gonna show up in front of his house.
Adam Sosnick
He's standing in the street.
Vinny
He saw him at Robert De Niro at a red carpet. That's one Adam.
Adam Sosnick
There's, there's an illegal sleeping house.
Vinny
Vinnie lives at one two seven.
Adam Sosnick
Come to my apartment. Come to my apartment. But you better be armed and ready to get your ass shot because I'm armed to the teeth. Come to my house.
Vinny
Bingo.
Amy
I mean bingo.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, well.
Vinny
So Alex, Alec Baldwin, armed to the teeth.
Adam Sosnick
Democrat, liberal. Well, yeah, he might forget what I.
Patrick Bet-David
Said, by the way.
Vinny
What do you think? Pbd someone shows up in front of your house.
Patrick Bet-David
Guys, you guys know he. The part is saying you murdered that women. I'll pardon you. Whatever he did not like meaning the story of the setup. When you go through it. Even guys who can't stand him.
Brandon
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
Said this wasn't on him. This was the job of the other person to kind of check it. Now don't get me wrong, guys like me and Vinnie, military background, we naturally know what you have to do and go through it. But the, the lawyers, when they fought the case and they went through it, this wasn't something that Alec. We had lunch with his lawyer just a couple months ago. Not a couple months ago, five weeks ago. We had lunch with them right that we sat down and we went through it. And two of his brother and this is a lawyer that's also lawyer of musk. And as a lawyer of a lot of different people. So it's not like he's just a liberal lawyer. No. Having said that, that's one. The other part is, you know when you, the way this works is in life is if you, your, your business model is mocking others publicly and humiliating them, you can't get upset when they do it to you. You just can't. You're in the ring. That's how it works. Okay. When you're in it, you're in it. So you did it and it's going to come back. That's kind of how this thing works. You can't, you know, expect you know how some people are very good at talking, but they can't receive it and take it?
Brandon
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
Listen, man, you've been talking a lot of. And he's giving it to you. And for Jason to go there and do it, great. The other part, on the family side, I side with Adam on this, but it is New York, and New York is not Florida. New York is concrete, very different model and animal. You either choose to live there or you choose not to live there. It is disturbing, it is uncomfortable, and I'm actually very surprised that he didn't do anything. Literally. If that was done to Vinnie, you. I don't know what you would have done to the guy. If he came up to you. If it was done to you, I think you would have also gotten upset at the guy.
Adam Sosnick
Probably.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah. Because. Because it was. But guess what? Jason won. Yeah, for sure. Meaning that's exactly what this is.
Adam Sosnick
Oh, yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
Jason won. So he got exactly what he wanted to get that he didn't get from De Niro.
Brandon
And contrast that with. If he didn't react like that, then he would have. Wouldn't have won. It wouldn't have been as big.
Patrick Bet-David
No, no, that's right. And so Jason wanted this, and. And Jason's funny as hell, and he keeps doing this, and, you know, but one day, the wrong person.
Vinny
Could you say that to the wrong person. You know, some guy's gonna literally.
Patrick Bet-David
Let me go to the next story here. So, guys, I mean, if I have to hear one more story about these two dank stories we can go through, because there's a couple of stories I want to go through to give some thoughts on this. But insulted Blake Lively. Blast. Sexist. The Hollywood Reporter cover, lampooning her Justin Baldoni lawsuit. Should be ashamed of yourself right now. You know, Blake Lively played in a movie that I've watched from the 42nd minute on 50 times, and it's called. What is the name of that movie? What is the name of that movie? Now, I've watched this thing so many times. What is the name of that movie? Age of Adeline. Okay, I've watched that thing. Some. Some of that. Thank you, Kelly. Age of Adeline. Right?
Vinny
My favorite movie.
Patrick Bet-David
Such a great movie with her and Harrison Ford. It's a phenomenal movie. Right. However, let me just read this to you, and then, Amy, I'm coming to you here. Blake Lively Blassett, the Hollywood reporter for its February 21st cover. Rob, can you pull up whatever the COVID is, which featured a cartoon mocking her lawsuit against. It ends With Is this it?
Vinny
Yes.
Patrick Bet-David
Ends with co star Justin Baldoni calling it outrageously insulting and playing into every sexist trope. The illustration depicts Lively using a slingshot to fire a cell phone at Baldoni, referencing her legal team's attempt to subpoena his text messages. A spokesperson for Lively condemned the magazine, saying the Hollywood Reporter should be ashamed of itself and criticizing its article for downplaying documented examples of sexual harassment and retaliation as cultural misunderstanding. Lively sued Baldoni in December of 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment on a set and launching a smear campaign against her, while Baldoni counter sued Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds for defamation and extortion. On Wednesday, Lively filed an amend law complaint stating she was not alone in raising allegation of onset misconduct. Amy, what's really going on with the story?
Amy
So I think why people are so interested in this is because it speaks to a much larger cultural issue. We are seeing the MeToo movement literally die. It's taking its last gasping breaths, but it is about to be dead. So essentially what happened is Justin Baldoni purchased the rights to the book It Ends With Us. He is the producer, director and one of the lead actors in it. And when he brought on Blake Lively to play his partner, the co lead in a movie that is a very heavy topic about domestic violence, she took over every single aspect of the movie. The movie was really aimed at, you know, providing education and insight and relating to the stories of what women go through when they experience tv. She made it a light hearted thing. She wanted to talk about, oh, where your florals. And she used it as an opportunity to promote her alcohol brand, which is insane because most people, many people know that alcoholism really fuels DV as well. So it was completely tone deaf. And as a response to this, she was getting a lot of hate. In fact, people were posting old interviews of her that weren't even really relevant at all to the movie, but they're just highlighting, this is a mean girl, this isn't a good person. And in response to this, what she did was she created a smear campaign against Bo Darni, stating that actually he was making a smear campaign against her. And that's the reason why she had all of this negative backlash.
Patrick Bet-David
What have you seen from the text messages, like what has been revealed?
Amy
So essentially in her complaint, she said things like he walked in on her breastfeeding. She said things like he chastised her for her weight. All of this has been debunked by the text messages provided by Bodoni. She, in fact Messaged him saying, hey, I'm breastfeeding right now, but come into my trailer. Let's go ahead and run some lines. One of the other conditions she said, you know, we need to have an intimacy coordinator on set because I'm not comfortable with being close with you because you're doing all these inappropriate things. He provided a text message showing, hey, I have an intimacy coordinator. I'll get you on a call with her. No, I'm fine, thank you. I don't need to meet with the intimacy coordinator. So essentially, every single thing that she's claimed against him has been dispatched, disproved.
Patrick Bet-David
So he was a class act throughout the entire process.
Adam Sosnick
Yes, that's what it seemed. It seemed. And he put her on as an executive producer, which. Imagine bad. This guy is like a fem. He's a male feminist, which is probably one of his biggest problems. He's a male feminist. He loves women. He cares. He's doing all this. And so, Amy. And real quick, because I'm pretty sure we're kind of on the same boat. What was that moment? What was her deciding thing to say that hell with you, because I know that it was the. Was it the. She kept. For the screening, she made him and.
Amy
His whole family go down to the basement during the premiere of his movie. He literally was not even allowed to be at the premiere of his own movie because Blake Lively had alienated the entire cast against him. She had convinced everyone that he was this monster, this terrible person, so she could wield all creative control of the movie and end up getting her final cut of the movie, not Justin Baldoni's. And in the end, that's exactly what happened. He didn't even get to see the final cut of the movie because Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds came in with their own team, their own editors. They completely hijacked this thing. And then when there was negative backlash as a result, they painted all these false allegations against Justin in order to try to get back the power in the narrative. But everyone's seeing through it. They're seeing through the bs, and, you know, at the end of the day, they're the ones who are seeking gag orders against Beldoni from releasing him information, whereas his team are saying, nope, let's put out everything. Every single text message they're showing they have nothing to hide. And I just. I really love this story because, again, it speaks to this larger cultural thing of the MeToo movement is over. Don't believe. Don't believe all women automatically.
Vinny
If there's a larger context to this. I get it. But this. I literally could care less about this movie, about these people, about anything. We're in America today. Inflation, cost of living, people trying to pay rent. We could. People. There's so many things going on.
Patrick Bet-David
Hang tight. Hang on a second.
Vinny
There's a lot of people that care about.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, but sit this one out and just sit on the sidelines and hang tight until the next story comes up and tell us how much you care about with this one here. To me, when I think about what happened with Amber Heard and what was the other guy?
Amy
Johnny Depp.
Adam Sosnick
Johnny Depp.
Patrick Bet-David
Johnny Depp. This is such an important story. I know you don't give a shit about it, but this is such an important story because if they would have won against him, a guy whose dream was to be a Hollywood actor, producer, director, they could have crushed his career if they would have won.
Amy
And they tried to do that. They. There was actually text messages where they show that Blake is saying things. She compl. I haven't seen Game of Thrones, but she compares herself to Khaleesi. I believe she has dragons. She's like, I have dragons just like Khaleesi. I have Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift. They were doing everything they could to intimidate this guy, who is a much smaller actor than Blake Lively and, you know, just not Justin Bodoni. Ryan Reynolds is like the A plus of all Hollywood actors. So, yeah, they tried to completely intimidate him. And it's amazing to see that it hasn't worked.
Patrick Bet-David
America almost hated Johnny Depp. Yeah, of course, America. And by the way, you know what we haven't seen? When's the last time we saw a movie? What was the movie that he was doing? What's the Pirates of the Caribbean? When's the last Pirates of the Caribbean? When's the last Pirates of the Caribbean?
Adam Sosnick
10 years.
Patrick Bet-David
Can you tell when is the last pirate city?
Vinny
2017.
Patrick Bet-David
Eight years ago.
Vinny
Probably remake it with a black lesbian.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah, but we haven't seen it since 2017. Why? And if you look at it closely. Look at the closely. How many years it is apart. Rob, go back. Zoom in a little bit. So three years? One year. Then you got four years. Six years. Yeah. So this. This. I don't know what movie Johnny's done the last five, six years, probably. What is the last movie Johnny Depp did? What is the last movie Johnny Depp did?
Vinny
I don't think he's done anything.
Adam Sosnick
No, he's been playing the guitar and.
Patrick Bet-David
Like, touring, and he hasn't done A movie in God knows how long.
Amy
Right.
Vinny
So he did a bunch of voice work, and then he did Louis, the. I don't know what number. Louis 15th. Oh, my God.
Patrick Bet-David
Anything else with this?
Vinny
I don't know what number this is.
Amy
You know, it's gonna end in court. I'm. I'm very excited to see this potentially be live streamed and broadcasted the same way the Amber Heard and Johnny. Johnny Depp trial was. So I just really can't wait to see this entire thing play out.
Adam Sosnick
You made a good point because he's. By the way, he's finished. He's done, like, in Hollywood. Nobody's gonna touch him. So that person that you're talking about, it's him, his dream, everything that he's done. And then, Amy, can you go back to your. The. The editing process, There was text messages where the editor was like. To him.
Patrick Bet-David
Him.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Amy
They're trying to console him. They're like, I'm so sorry. Like, I know this is your project. I'm sorry, we can't show you anything. I mean, for him as well, he instantly had his. He had an award for advocating for women, something in the realm of feminism. They rescinded that award. His podcast Hurts quit immediately. That was immediate repercussions.
Vinny
The best thing for this guy's career. I never heard of Justin before today.
Amy
Now it is.
Vinny
Look at him now.
Amy
And Blake Lively, probably. It'll be very difficult for anyone to ever work with Blake Lively ever again.
Patrick Bet-David
I. Did they get like, not. Not how big of a black guy did he get?
Vinny
Let me tell you about that story.
Amy
What do you mean by that?
Patrick Bet-David
Like, meaning, how bad is this on their.
Amy
On their reputation? Oh, it's terrible. Terrible. I mean, now other footage is coming out of Blake Lively admitting, hey, when I get involved with projects, they hire me as the actress. And sometimes I don't really tell them, but I actually want to come in and I want to read, write it, and I want to be a producer, and I want to do all of these things. She's literally admitted all of this blatantly. This is just the first time that it's ending.
Vinny
How old is Blake Lively, by the way?
Amy
30S, I believe 4.
Vinny
How much longer do you think Ryan Reynolds takes a 5?
Adam Sosnick
35.
Amy
I mean, another. Did you guys see 37?
Vinny
She's done at 40.
Amy
Did any of you guys see Deadpool? Wolverine at all? Yeah. So do you remember the scene where he's nice to pool and he's saying, like, oh, she bounced back right after her pregnancy. It's Okay, I can say that I'm a feminist. They're literally mocking Justin Baldoni in that scene as well. Yeah, because, because she, he. She made a comment that Baldon said she was too heavy for him to lift. That's not true. He simply said, I have a back injury. How much should I train to be able to lift you? Something along those lines. She made it a complaint about weight and then they actually put it in the Deadpool movie.
Patrick Bet-David
I have a back injury. How much do I need to tr.
Vinny
Weird feminists. Can I just give a quick shout out? Speaking of feminists, it's someone's birthday today. It's Chelsea Handler's 50th birthday today.
Amy
Adam's girlfriend, Adam.
Adam Sosnick
So did you message her?
Vinny
She's drunk. She's already.
Patrick Bet-David
Well, let's go to the next story, which is kind of appropriate. So Ashley St. Clair hits Elon Musk with paternity suit, seeks sole custody of five month old son. Court docs here. Let me see what we got with this one here. So conservative finds a paternity suit in Manhattan Supreme Court seeking to legally declare Lawmas 53 as a father of five month old son requesting sole custody. St. Clair Creme She Musk received a child during the January 2024 term Saint Barts and asked the course to order must to take a DNA test. Musk, who has not publicly acknowledged the child, allegedly met him only three times, twice in New York and once in Texas, and has never asked to see the baby nor ask for the photos, including the legal files or text messages and photos of Musk holding the infant with messages that appear to reference the child. So, Amy, what do you know about this story?
Amy
Yeah, so I love that. I'm getting all the girls. That's what we want, you guys. I got you with all the gods. So this one, it gets particularly interesting where we see some screenshots released by a woman called Isabel Moody. I'm not sure if you can track those down, Rob, but this is a woman who's actually friends with Ashley Sinclair and she released text messages going back to 2023 where she actually reached out to Isabel and said, oh my God, Elon just followed me. Is this post funny? I need to be funny for Elon. I want to get attention from him because I want to have his rocket babies, something to that effect. Elon followed me. I need his rocket babies. No way. That's awesome. Looks like I'll take one for the team. So do you, Elon, get in a rocket and see what's up oh, you must, for the good of society. So, I mean, this is a billionaire baby trap. This entire thing was premeditated. And what makes it really bad and just, I mean, it's bad in general. It's already really bad. But what makes it so much worse and really just makes her a hypocrite is that she is this quote on unquote conservative influencer. So she's apparently being this big proponent of, you know, non degeneracy and monogamous relationships and not having children, children out of wedlock. And now this isn't just the first, but now the second child that she's had out of wedlock. So she's not consistent with any of her values, number one. And number two, it seems like this was a baby trap. This was all planned from the very beginning. She made her bed and now she has to lay in it. I have absolutely no empathy or sympathy for her. Elon Musk has made it very clear that he wants to have as many children as possible. He wants to repopulate the earth. So she should not be acting in any way, shape or form as if she is surprised by his response.
Adam Sosnick
How much would child support be? How, how does child support work? I know I have, I have friends that have money that pay a ridiculous amount of money. They're not married to child support. If you are with a guy that's worth $500 billion, does it go off of what you make to give the kid? How does that work?
Amy
That's a good question.
Adam Sosnick
He's in the state, like think about like how much, how much, how much.
Vinny
It goes by the states. So she's in New York. He's actually based out of Texas, I.
Amy
Believe what's funny as well is it'd.
Vinny
Be go by New York law.
Amy
But so she also stated she made a tweet a couple years ago saying it's so wrong that women alienate children from their fathers. And Elon replied and he said, yeah. And she replied and said it must stop.
Patrick Bet-David
Whoa.
Amy
Now she's literally doing that right now.
Patrick Bet-David
What's that?
Brandon
That's 2700 per month for. For Grimes from Elon.
Amy
That's it.
Adam Sosnick
I don't know about that, bro.
Vinny
So based on what you're saying, he is the father?
Brandon
That would be crazy.
Amy
Ashley Sinclair's baby. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It does appear to be include. She also leaked out a DNA test.
Patrick Bet-David
This is just. He visited right there.
Amy
Yeah.
Vinny
Based on your opinion, she's the father?
Amy
Based on my opinion and what I've seen of the screenshots they could have been doctored. Screenshots. But they also posted signal messages. You know, those signal messages that delete within 24 hours. What she did was she actually took a picture of the phone, of the messages themselves, and you can see them interacting and talking about the. The pregnancy and talking about the baby. So unless those were adopted screenshots.
Patrick Bet-David
What's this, Amy, what's this tweet?
Amy
If women get the. If women get the right to abortion, men should have the option to not pay child support. Yeah. And again, she also tweeted saying it's so wrong to alienate a child from its father, and yet that's exactly what she's doing right now.
Vinny
You're wrong. Only because he has not admitted he's the father.
Amy
She's stating technicality. Yeah.
Vinny
Well, in order for him to pay child support, in order for him to be able to see the child, in order for him to have a be in the child's life, there needs to be one thing. He needs to be the father. If not, he's just some random creepy dude showing up. So they need to establish whether he's the father or not, period. Secondly, this is on one person and one person only. The richest man in the world. So he. And she entrapped him. Yeah, there's. Get in line for how many other women would like to have a baby with Elon Musk? And by the way, for someone who admittedly would like to have 100 children, he might show up at 10 Women's House tonight. So to act like this is on her. Oh, my God, her little cute text message got him into bed. Elon Musk, this is on you. I said this last time. This is on the. The person with the power, the person with the status, the person with the money. He who pays says, so whether it's Drake and the girl member. The whole hot sauce condom thing, that's on him. Putting hot sauce in the condom so a woman wouldn't do this. Whether you're an NBA player and you're. And you're the cleat chasers or jersey jumpers, what they call them in the NBA. That's on NBA guys. Not to impregnate jersey jumpers. That's on the richest man in the world if he doesn't want to have a kid. Wrap it up now, Vinnie. A condom is something that you use if you don't want to call them. Yeah. A column. So I know that you've never heard of these things, but if you wanted to not impregnate somebody he would use condoms. Clearly, Elon Musk ain't using condoms.
Adam Sosnick
Of course.
Vinny
So when you show up at someone's house and they entrap you, whatever you want to call it, he knows exactly what he's doing.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Vinny
So now he has his legal team dealing with whatever legal ramifications it is, but first and foremost, they need to establish whether he's the father or not. She says that he is the father.
Amy
Well, what's interesting, because I know someone.
Vinny
Else that is definitely not the father.
Amy
What's interesting about these messages? So they order delete after 24 hours, and we can see here a conversation that they're having where she's trying to reach out, trying to get him in the kid's life. And he's saying, hey, I'm like, the number two after Trump for assassination. Like, I need to keep a low profile. Right now. She's saying, I know. That's why the father spot on the birth certificate is blank right now. E. So she's posting all of these. But what's interesting is, again, she had to take a picture of the screen because when you screenshot, you get notified to the other person. So did she have something planned all along? Like, why is she taking a picture of text messages?
Vinny
That girl has something planned all along when they're with the richest man in the world. Why are you acting like that's the. Oh, my God. Should I try to have his kid? Yes. If you f. If you found yourself in a room with Elon, don't just stand there and have a conversation. Go have a kid with a guy.
Adam Sosnick
Well, see, I don't think Amy, like, I know her, and I'm being dead serious. I don't think Amy is the type of girl that'd be like, Elon Musk. Yes.
Amy
Thank you, Vinnie.
Adam Sosnick
Have a go. Raw dog inside.
Vinny
She's an idiot.
Adam Sosnick
She's not an idiot. She's not. Hold on.
Vinny
Let me tell you something.
Adam Sosnick
Hold on. She's not.
Vinny
I would have a kid with.
Adam Sosnick
No, she's not an idiot. She's not a. I don't think she has. She has values, and she's not Adam. And I'm sorry to. I know this is going to rock your world. Not every girl out there is just like, rich guy, no condom, have sex and come inside. No, that's.
Amy
Money can buy just about everything.
Adam Sosnick
Those are girls in that circle that are just looking for. And I'm not hating on her. I. Listen, I. I hope that she. I wish she didn't have to be in this situation. But as to say like you're acting.
Vinny
Like it was a one and done thing.
Adam Sosnick
No, no.
Vinny
They're apparently dating. Dated for a year.
Adam Sosnick
No, that's. That's fine what I'm saying.
Vinny
I'm just like establish that it wasn't like a horror.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, it was.
Vinny
They dated.
Adam Sosnick
But would you think they're gonna get. Does she think that there's a future with Elon Musk?
Vinny
I don't freaking know. The fact that it wasn't just a one and done thing. They dated.
Adam Sosnick
I know somebody else.
Vinny
You know what dating means, right?
Adam Sosnick
They hold hands and.
Vinny
Okay, Pat, you know it's been a while since Vinnie.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah. Okay.
Vinny
You're gushing out.
Adam Sosnick
Oh, man.
Patrick Bet-David
All right, last story before we wrap up.
Vinny
You just squirted all over me. Just spilled all over me.
Patrick Bet-David
Pat, this is the last story. I've lost my voice. I'm trying to recover from where to? Aaron Judge, Yankees. We have to talk about this. Explains why he's staying Mr. Clean even after Yankees stunning facial hair reversal. Okay, so the Yankees historically have been known as an organization that you have to stay clean cut. By the way, if you can get Hal Steinbrother's tweet breaking it down saying, After 29 years, if you got it there, we'll go through it as well. So Aaron Judge, captain of the New York Yankees, will remain clean shaven despite Hal Steinburner lifting the team's 48 year old. I said 29, 48 year official hair band saying, this is what I know, this is what I'm used to. Judge, who has been shaved since being drafted in 2013, added, I look around the building, look at the old photos, past legends, they all follow that rule. So I just try to follow on their path. While he acknowledged being definitely shocked by the policy change, he supported it. If it gets us a couple more players, that'll help us win games. Judge dismissed the idea that the band Detour free agent, stating, if that little rule is going to stop you from coming here, then you probably shouldn't be here. Good for you. Though Steinman is suggesting some players have been hesitant to join the Yankees because of the policy. Judd said he had not heard too much about guys refusing to sign over. Devin Williams and Carlos Rhoden have already announced plans to grow beards, while judge Anthony Volpe, Marcus Stroman are sticking with their clean cut look. Okay, so Rob, if you can pull up the house Steinburner tweet, he puts it out there. Go a little bit lower. You'll see like a maybe it's not that one. Vinny, what do you think about this? You're a Yankee, You're a New York guy. What are your thoughts on the story here?
Adam Sosnick
You already know. Huge Yankee fan, I think. I think Aaron Judge is the epitome of a Yankee, okay? He. He respects the tradition. That's why they picked him. That's why he's. He's there, you know, for the pinstripes, for the history of the game. You know, like you said, Steinbenders had the rule around. That's what sets us apart from everybody else. We look clean. We don't look like we just came out of a freaking mountain cave. I've seen some beers that are just. It's just the hair. It's just everything is crazy. Judge gets it. He's the face of the franchise. He's the captain of the team. He's supposed to lead by example. And I think that's a positive attitude to have. And I'm pro, Aaron. You know how I feel.
Brandon
You know, the best example, this was. Remember Johnny Damon before and after? Red Sox, Yankees. That's like. That's the best contrast of what it's like with and without this. He had the long hair, the crazy beard, and like, it's night and day, you know, so I'm a Yankees fan, too. And it's like they're always been like, a cut above in terms of respectability, in terms of the uniforms and everything. So that's it?
Patrick Bet-David
That's what you're talking about?
Brandon
Yeah, exactly, exactly. Like, what would you rather have? What's more respectable?
Adam Sosnick
I want the clean cut guy in the right.
Brandon
Yeah.
Vinny
If the guy on the left wins.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Vinny
Adam, I think it's B.S. i'll tell you why you're thinking this is what the Yankees stand for. No, what the Yankees stand for is the highest payroll in baseball every single year. I think Don Mattingly, who was literally Mr. Baseball, had a mustache. Can I see that mustache?
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Adam Sosnick
That's the rule, though. You can't go past. Can't go past your.
Vinny
Oh, so. So the rule is you have to grow an Adolf Hitler mustache.
Adam Sosnick
That's it. Don Matley didn't have a. You can have a mustache as a Yankee.
Vinny
Pretty sure Reggie Jackson had a mustache. So.
Adam Sosnick
So you could have a mustache that.
Vinny
Looks like a pretty handlebar.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah, but he shaved. You have a Hitler.
Vinny
So. So let me. How far can you go down? What's the rule?
Brandon
Since this is same as military and fire department, so.
Vinny
So where can you go? Right.
Adam Sosnick
Right about there, right about Here, side mouth.
Vinny
You can have a barbarino side of your mouth. So no goatee.
Adam Sosnick
No goatee.
Vinny
But you can have a little dirty Sanchez.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Vinny
Anyway, I think it's ridiculous. I think.
Adam Sosnick
Why is it ridiculous? The owner of the team, that's. That's his culture. That's the team. That's the.
Vinny
That's great. That's fine.
Adam Sosnick
Why do they have to change? Why is it ridiculous? Keep it the way that. By the way, the most winningest 26 championship. I think it. I think it worked, Adam. I don't know. It might be crazy.
Vinny
A lot of that when there was Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and also that other little thing. No black people in the league.
Adam Sosnick
No. What do you mean? Four of them. I experienced four World Series. I lived through four World Series. Everybody was clean. Derek Jeter was clean. Yeah. Don Manley had the handlebar.
Vinny
Let me ask you a question. What's on your face right now?
Adam Sosnick
What?
Vinny
You're stupid looking face. What's on your face?
Adam Sosnick
I'm not playing baseball.
Vinny
Exactly.
Adam Sosnick
I'm on the PP podcast and I'm assigning. And I'm Middle Eastern.
Vinny
Can you do your job?
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Vinny
You can do. Okay.
Patrick Bet-David
That's not the point.
Vinny
The point is. No, it doesn't make a difference.
Adam Sosnick
I want to hear Pats.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah.
Vinny
So only in baseball is.
Patrick Bet-David
What?
Vinny
You can't have a beard.
Patrick Bet-David
Yeah. Let's do this. And let's wrap it up because Adam needs a break today. Relax. By the way, I don't know how many gar. Shocks you got, but you need a lot of them. But. So the Yankees Steinbrenner, he buys the Yankees in 73. The new appearance rules for the Yankees takes place in 76. Okay. And is there almost 50 years. And then Hal changes it. Now, to be fair to Hal versus George. Hal is not George. That policy only works based on the man who's setting that standard and expectation and doesn't compromise. Which is who? George. George put that standard. How many World Series did the Yankees win since 1976? That's what I want to know. How many World Series have the Yankees won? How many World Series have the Yankees won since 1970? Put 79. Because they won it in 79. So they've won five. Wow. Okay. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Yeah, I thought it would have been more as well. But they've won five. Okay. Total. They've won 27. Okay. But since the 1973, they've won five. The last time they won Yankees 27 titles. Well, let's see. That 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Is it seven? So why is the saying 1930 Yankees? I won the World Series five times here to four years, they won. So I'm looking at 77. I'm saying 73. Chat GBT just told me 77, 78, 96, 98. It's missing 99 here, and it's missing 2,000. So Chat GPT is actually off.
Vinny
They won four, five.
Patrick Bet-David
1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7. So they've won seven, but they haven't.
Vinny
Won in 15 years.
Patrick Bet-David
77. So that's 47 years, 48 years, they've won seven. All right, but they haven't won one in 16 years. I don't know. I think those types of standards works if the guy who has a strong personality with those standards is still around. That's what I think. It works. And George was one of a kind. And guess what? He passed the business over to his son. Hal has been running it. Hal gets to call the shots right now the way he wants. And sometimes when somebody's son comes in or daughter comes in and they're leading, they get to make certain adjustments. That's just kind of how it works. Jerry Buss wouldn't have given Kobe the two year, $48 million contract that he got when it was averaging 35% field goal percentage. Jerry would have never given that contract. Jerry would have said to walk. But guess what? Jeannie gave the two year, $48 million contract to Kobe Bryant. And Jeannie isn't Jerry. Okay? And Jerry won how many championships while he was running it during the 33 years? 10 guys. Jerry Buss was possibly the greatest owner of all time in sports. Won 10 championships in 33 years of owning a team. Think about it. When Shaq came up to him one time, and Shaq's like, hey, Miami Heat wants to pay me this? He says, really? Yeah. He says, go get it.
Vinny
Yeah, go get it, buddy.
Patrick Bet-David
He's like, I'm gonna go with Kobe. Kobe's. Kobe's the future. You're not. And Shaq's like, really? Yeah, this is my team. No, you won the three championships, but go get your money. I don't think this is your season. I think it's Kobe season. The Jerry's and the Georges that have to deal with a lot of criticism and a lot of hate. It's not everybody's job. It's not. And it's a very tough job. And I'm. I'm. I love the organization. I love the history. I'm all about History, traditions, rituals, all of that stuff. That stuff is very attractive to a guy like me, but it may not be attractive to everybody. It is to me, though, quite frankly. You know, I got in trouble for saying this while it was going on and what I said about Juan Soto, and I got a weird phone call, which I'll keep that private. But to me, the moment the Yankees lost, after the way Juan played defense, and then afterwards, when they're asking him, where do you want to go? I'll take offers from anybody, showed zero respect to the Yankees organization. I'm not interested. Very simple. You have to be proud to go to the Yankees. You have to have a sense of a historic. You have a sense of an understanding of who played for the Yankees, what they did to the game. When you watch Maris, Mantle, when you see stories of Ruth, when you hear stories of Ojeter, all these other guys that came, and I'm getting the chills all over my body. When you see the stories of Yogi, when you hear those stories. These guys built that organization where people are now proud to wear the jersey. Okay. Where people scream and saying, this, this, this may, may, may be, be. Be the greatest day of my, my, my, my life, life, life, life, life, life. When you put that Yankees jersey on, there's something about it, and that's got to continue. That pride's got to continue. People want to belong to an organization that's a little bit tough to be a part of. It's not for everybody. You want to go play anywhere, go play anywhere. Some places that's a little bit tougher to be a part of. It's a little bit more challenging. It's a little bit more annoying, it's a little bit more edgy. It's a little bit more of that. Yes, that's the Yankees, and I respect it. I like it. Doesn't mean Hal gets to make whatever decision he makes. He's the majority owner. He's the boss. He calls the shots. You got to follow. That's what the shots is being called. And he. He has more insight to information that's being made, and his team supported it, and it is what it is. But I also applaud Aaron Judge. This guy is a. You know, he was adopted the way he was. You ever hear him talk about him being adopted and what his family did to him and how he looks and gives the credit? I don't know, man. I think Aaron is, like, freaking. I just want to see this guy win a championship. I want to see him win one. He's the kind of guy that you want him to see win one. I like him as a face of a league. He's a great number one foreign organization, great flag carrier in an era where it's very hard to find a great number one that's willing to defend the values and principles and the cultures and the rituals.
Adam Sosnick
I agree.
Patrick Bet-David
Good luck finding a guy like Aaron Judge today. Anyways. All right, so we are done with today's podcast. Rob, what is today? Today is Tuesday.
Vinny
Yes, sir.
Patrick Bet-David
Tomorrow we're getting the podcast with Bolsonaro that's going live. If you have the intro for the people that are still here with us, you get a chance to see it at the end, but it's going to go live tomorrow. And this will be translated both in Portuguese and in English. I believe the English one will go on this channel. PBD Podcast, Rob. The Portuguese one will go on valuetainment Brazil. We have a new channel that's created called valuetainment Brazil. Rob, if you can put the channel below for people that want to go subscribe to the Portuguese version of it, we've already put up two clips on there. And I speak hell of a Portuguese man when you want to hear.
Adam Sosnick
It's so.
Patrick Bet-David
I don't know how I four, four days. It's like Mormons. I, I went to, you know, Brazil for four days. I learned how to speak Portuguese. The technology they have is very advanced. Yes. But if you want to play this clip, Rob, for people to see it, this is the intro to the President J. Bolsonaro interview that goes out tomorrow, 9am Go for it, Rob. To most Americans, when they think about you, they compare you to President Trump. Both of you are very loud. Both of you are very strong. We have one more thing in common. I was stabbed and he was shot. The Deep State works to remove opponents from the left. And I am here in Brazil at the moment the only right wing leader, just as Trump is in the United States. If in the US the establishment, the left, could silence Trump to not be able to run in 2024, they would have done exactly the same thing they did to you. Our Supreme Court here is completely politicized. If Mother Teresa of Calcutta were to take an interest in most of them, she would be convicted by our Supreme Court. Do you believe President Biden and maybe even the CIA, he was involved in making sure you lost and Lula got back in. I was trying everything. They couldn't convict me for anything. So now they've made up a story about a coup in Brazil we condemn the destruction, the invasion. We never did that. But it was something planned and designed by the left. My non candidacy is a denial of our democracy. We have a video of him saying that. And it couldn't be shown. In other words, we couldn't show anything from the other side. On this side. They accused me of everything. Xenophobic, homicidal, pedophilic. Everything. If I say what I know, hours after you put this on air, I will be arrested. Is it fair to say that I would rather have Lula as a president than you? Not arrested. Charged. Yes, yes. Completely submissive. The corruption in Brazil. He said if Jesus came to Brazil, even he would need to make an alliance with Judas. Yeah, that's normal in Brazil. We've always done that. The reason why whistleblowers afraid of come out. Because they're worried what demoras will do to them. Get the hacker. Look at me. What happened to me? The truth will come at the right time.
Vinny
Crying.
Patrick Bet-David
You're certain of that? Absolutely. I'm the one who made the people.
Adam Sosnick
Yeah.
Patrick Bet-David
Start believing in their country again. Wow. Oh my God.
Amy
I have goosebumps all over my body.
Adam Sosnick
The whole guys that put that.
Patrick Bet-David
I mean the guy.
Adam Sosnick
Jared. Jared. And everybody in the back that were edited. Shout out to you guys. A good job just to tease this almost started crying.
Vinny
The part when he was crying. What was that regarding?
Patrick Bet-David
I can't tell you.
Vinny
Say it.
Patrick Bet-David
You got to watch it when I ask. And he went on a rant. Rob's in tears. Ezra is in the background in tears, translating to me in tears. It was an incredible moment. Anyways, gang, tomorrow 9am this is coming out. And then Thursday. Rob, we got. Home team.
Vinny
Yes, sir.
Patrick Bet-David
And then we got. Well, we got a few other surprises that coming in. Just stay tuned. Take care. Love you.
Amy
Time, Words, talk, number, scrape.
